[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

After the stroke, Jia's mother did not improve. The so-called long-term sickness without a filial son, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's greetings are less, but Mrs. Xing feels miserable, and she can still live her little life in her room. Now every day It's not comfortable at all to deliver soup and medicine in front of Jia Mu.

What's more, Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper's wife, rushed back to the main house, Rongxi Hall, and she could only go back to the side of the stable, which was really unbearable.

She was always afraid of Jia She, so she picked a time when Jia She was in a good mood, and sighed, "Master, it's no way to go on like this."

Jia She thought she was talking about the old lady, and was about to scold when she stared at her, Madam Xing hurriedly waved her hands, "Master is thinking about it, I didn't mean that. It is obvious that the master is the master, but the housekeeper is the second room, who lives in Rongxi Hall It's also the second bedroom, if the old lady lives in Rongxi Hall, I, as a daughter-in-law, naturally have nothing to say, but if the old lady doesn't live, I just prefer the second master and the second wife."

"Oh?" Jia She squinted at Mrs. Xing and said with a sneer, "You want to be a housekeeper? It doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not, whether you have the money to fill it in."

Mrs. Xing was clumsy and clumsy, she had a lot of thoughts at the moment, and she said slowly after a while, "Although I am not worthy of a housekeeper, but the master is the one who takes over the title, don't you deserve to live in Rongxi Hall? Another one, the one who pays the money now It's not the second wife, it's Feng girl. Although Lian'er was not born to me, he still calls me mother, but he and Feng girl are the second master and second wife all day long. How can we have a serious father and a serious mother-in-law? Woolen cloth."

Although Jia Amnesty wanted to be mean to Mrs. Xing and said that she didn't care whether she was worthy of calling Jia Lian mother, but after hearing it, she felt that it made sense. What happened to Jia Yuanchun earlier, Lian'er ordered by Jia Zheng and his wife ran back and forth, and even posted money. Nephew, it looks like a filial son.Wang Xifeng subsidizes the dowry, doesn't it mean that the big house subsidizes the going out, you know, these are all to be left to his grandson.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, he called Jia Lian over and scolded him, "Keep your eyes open in the future to see who is your father. If you have anything to explain to you, report it to me first."

Jia Lian is also wronged, his wife Wang Xifeng is partial to his aunt, what can he do.At the beginning, he liked Sister Feng's delicate and pungent, unlike the women he had seen in the past, between husband and wife, you take a step back, she advances a foot, and in a blink of an eye, this rouge tiger overwhelms Xifeng.

Hearing that Jia Zheng’s family’s expenses were all from the public house, including Jia Zheng’s purchase of antiques and the things he had done for the Yuanchun Palace, Jia Amnesty scolded Jia Lian bloodily, “Of the 100 taels of silver in this public house, 60 taels are ours. Big house, it’s good for you, you and your daughter-in-law are spending money away like water, are you stupid or stupid?”

Jia She knew that Yuanchun Palace spent a lot of money, but Jia's mother would not agree to send her granddaughter into the palace when she was in good health, and Yingchun was not up to date, so I don't know how to get the money back.But whether he buys antiques by himself or uses his private house, this prudish second master dares to leave his office, everyone will wait and see.

Mrs. Wang handed over a large volume of her affairs to Yuan Chun, and Wang Xifeng knew how to behave, so she asked Yuan Chun to manage the affairs with her every day.Yuan Chun felt that he was doing his part.

Today, the two of them were sitting upright on the head, listening to reports from the women in charge, when suddenly a young boy came outside and said, "Zhi Yaxuan, who sells antiques, said that the old master kept accounts with them, and now the bill will be settled at the end of the month. .”

Wang Xifeng asked, "This Zhiyaxuan has no relationship with our family, what do you mean?"

Jia Yuanchun had also heard of Zhiyaxuan, and asked, "How much?"

"...800 taels."

Wang Xifeng raised her voice and said, "800 taels?! Is this buying antiques or gold?"

Jia Yuanchun smiled gently, "Zhi Yaxuan is a famous antique shop in Beijing, I don't want my uncle to like this. Since they have come to the door, let the accountant pay them first, and then my uncle will make up for it."

Wang Xifeng listened to Jia Lian complaining in the middle of the night last night, and when Lin Daiyu was there, Mrs. Wang caused her to be blamed by Jia's mother.My aunt often used herself as a messenger, and no one would feel better about it.

Hearing that Yuan Chun made a decision regardless of his own questioning, and ignored his sister-in-law and cousin at all, Wang Xifeng concluded in his heart that the second room was hiding an adulterer, and said with a smile, "Oh, thank you big sister, I'll ask someone to send the money to you tomorrow. Come."

When Jia Lian heard that he was going to send the money back, he said anxiously, "Master has bought a lot of things these days, so you can send all the money back?"

Wang Xifeng pulled a pillow to lean on, and said with a smile, "Second Master's scolding is for nothing. Don't say we don't have money, but we have it. Second Master, believe it or not, will make up for the front foot, and the rear master will beat you again. .The second master buys something, is it possible that he has to go back to the accountant? My housekeeper’s sister-in-law hasn’t spoken yet, but her unmarried sister-in-law can’t help it, and she still wants to be a good person.”

"Master, this is going to fight with Rongxi Hall."

"Let's fight, the left and right old ladies are too sick to get up."

"If you want me to tell you, don't be housekeeper, so that you can raise your body, we are serious about having a son." Jia Lian touched Wang Xifeng's soft jade hand as he spoke.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, "Then I have to ask for the money I paid back, so I don't care about it."

Jia Yuanchun didn't know that every time someone came to pay the bill, she asked the accountant to pay. She didn't want the accountant to say that she had no money, so she hesitated for a while, and said to Wang Xifeng, "I don't know when the money from uncle will be paid back. ?”

Wang Xifeng pretended to be surprised and said, "I still had a lot of money before, why is it gone all of a sudden?"

Jia Yuanchun said, "This month alone, I made three sums of silver for my uncle's purchase of antiques. The first time was 800 taels, and the next two times were 500 taels. First make up 1000 taels and come back for expenses. Next, Zhuangzi will send the harvest. up."

Wang Xifeng said, "Since it is so urgent, take the account book and let's reconcile it."

Jia Yuanchun said, "Isn't the account very clear?"

Wang Xifeng ignored her, let her take the account book, and said with a smile, "Let's show it to the eldest girl. My sister-in-law is also very cash-strapped recently, and she has pawned a lot of dowry. She is still waiting for the renter to come to redeem my things. Woolen cloth."

The silver pen sent to the palace for her was circled with cinnabar, and it was slapped on Yuan Chun's face like a slap in the face. Zhi Yaxuan has never had any contact with it. Jia Zheng has several pens this year alone, but Jia She touched it. very clear.

Jia Yuanchun calmed down and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to make up for the money from Uncle, and it is right to compensate the money that Sister Feng subsidized."

Wang Xifeng smiled kindly, "I don't understand what Eldest Sister said, and the second room is also out of work, why do you keep telling us to make up for the eldest room, how about this, Eldest Sister first spent the past two years with the second room Let’s make up the money, let’s settle the account, take back what I posted, and then calculate the cost of the big house this month, okay?”

Jia Yuanchun never thought that his cousin would turn against him. Because Mrs. Wang trusted Wang Xifeng and firmly believed that her daughter could be a concubine or concubine in the palace, she did not make any false accounts, and everything was clear.

She was a little confused, so she said something stupid, "Our master and wife live in Rongxi Hall, so naturally it costs more. Originally, the old lady lived in Rongxi Hall. The cost is also paid by the public."

Although what she said was somewhat incomprehensible, Wang Xifeng understood it. First, she said that Jia Zheng and his wife lived in Rongxi Hall, and for the sake of Rongguo Mansion's face, they had to spend a lot of money. It came from Gongzhong, and now it should also come from Gongzhong.

Wang Xifeng laughed, and all the ladies and maids below were silent. She raised her eyes and said, "It turns out that the second master and the second wife live in Rongxitang. It's so difficult, it's not like our master and wife change. Let's talk about public affairs, Lixiangyuan It used to be the place for the elderly of Rong Guogong, so the expenses are naturally paid by the public, so now we have to provide food and housing for Xue's family?"

"I said something wrong, and the second sister-in-law Lian will forgive me. I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back and rest first." Jia Yuanchun's face turned white and blue.

"Eldest sister has any discomfort, you should call the imperial doctor earlier." Wang Xifeng said with concern, "Sister, go slowly."

Because of this, Jia Amnesty changed his view of his daughter-in-law a little bit. It's good to be able to correct mistakes, knowing that he will return to Dafang's command.

After hearing what Yuan Chun said, Mrs. Wang was also very angry. She complained to Aunt Xue about Wang Xifeng.

Aunt Xue's family has a bottomless pit, so how can she be willing to spend money.

Although Xue Baochai is dignified and peaceful, she has her own inner world, and she has ambitions for success in her heart. Although the mother is greedy for money, her manners are not bad. It’s just a matter of birth.”

Xue Baochai saw that she just looked at him and said nothing, and immediately understood, took a mutton jade bracelet and gave it to her, "I'm white, I won't show it when I wear this, I'll keep it for my mother to think about." .”

"Girl's skin is like creamy fat, so of course it won't show it. I'm not going to be polite." Nurse put the bracelet in her arms, Fang said, "I heard a news that this time the draft will also be given to several princesses. The main choice is to be a companion, rather than being an inferior court lady, it is better to be a companion."

Xue Baochai said, "The court lady still has some chances, but this companion..."

"Generally, there is no reason for people to serve their younger sisters. The girl is worried about this. This is just a matter of means. If it falls into the eyes of the master of the harem or the princess, it is unknown if she accepts her as a righteous daughter. Princess Although the companion is not as honorable as the prince's companion, he is still a first-class person. I am sincerely doing my best for the girl. Look at the big girl in the mansion here. I have heard of some of them. Now it is not as good as when I put down the sign Those who marry on their own are wasting their good years in vain."

"What Mammy said is right, I've written it down, but it's just that it's not a good choice to read with."

"Since the old lady has said it, there is a way for her. It's just that I can build a bridge for the girl in vain, and the people above are not willing to pave the way for vain."

Xue Baochai nodded in agreement, and after discussing with Aunt Xue, she gave 2000 taels to Mammy, and Mammy immediately signed up for the ticket, and went home with big and small bags.

Aunt Xue said, "I don't know if she is reliable or not, there are always many ways, and the family is not short of your money."

"That's because my mother and brother love me. Why did my aunt invite you over today? It's been so long."

"Young girl Feng is going to turn against your aunt, which made Yuanchun very embarrassed. When I left, your aunt even ordered people to boil bitter vine water, saying that her heart hurts. If you want me to say, my son is still sensible, always Advise me to live frugally. Over there, spending money is like running water, and there is only so much money, how can we not fight."

Xue Baochai leaned on Aunt Xue, "Why is our family as if they are the Duke's mansion, orphans and widows, naturally we should be more cautious."

Aunt Xue caressed her and said, "Good boy, the gold and silver nudes are ready for you, and you have the bank notes, and the clothes are all ready, and your brother sent you some jewelry yesterday."

Xue Baochai smiled, "My brother treats me really well."

In a blink of an eye, Cheng Qingcheng had been staying in Lin's house for more than half a year. He felt that he was going to become a nerd, so he sat by the window and began to write, when suddenly a very beautiful bird flew in and jumped on the edge of the window with one foot. step.

Cheng Qingcheng stretched out his hand to catch it, but the bird was extremely nimble and escaped several times, jumping around beside his hand with its head held high.

"You are demonstrating, but you are quite human." Cheng Qingcheng couldn't laugh or cry, "Forget it, forget it, I won't arrest you."

As he said, he took the book to read, instead of grabbing him, the little bird jumped up and down twice, seeing that Cheng Qingcheng was reading the book very seriously, he jumped on the table, and jumped towards Cheng Qingcheng's hand, as if to tease him.

Cheng Qingcheng pretended to read a book, while looking at the bird from the corner of his eye, seeing the bird jumping for a while and turning its head to fly away, he hurriedly slapped the bird with the book, pressed it with both hands, and rolled the bird around with lightning speed The book is blocked at both ends.

The little bird had recently been fed a little fat, curled up tightly, unable to even move, chirping and chirping.

Cheng Qingcheng rummaged for a long time but couldn't find anything that could be used as a birdcage. Finally, he found a thick thread and tied it to the bird's leg, tied it to his desk, and sprinkled a handful of melon seeds, "Play with me for two days, and put it away later!" you go."

Lin Daiyu woke up from her afternoon nap and disappeared again, not surprised, Yishuang said, "Look, it's going to rain, I don't know where it went to show off again."

Lin Daiyu held a gem-studded bird to look at it in the palm of her hand, "Don't be jealous, right? I compared this bird with it in the morning, but you all said it was not as good-looking as this jewel bird, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Be careful."

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and saw that the others were far away, so she lowered her voice and asked, "What have you been doing these days and nights? Do you practice?"

Yishuang blushed, "I went to play with my friends."

"Oh, is it also a flower demon?"

"There are flower demons, and there are non-flower demons."

Lin Daiyu nodded to express her understanding, "You have a lot of strange friends."

She originally wanted to ask Yishuang when she planned to go back, but she was afraid that she would be reluctant to find out, so she simply let her go.

Who else could the little bird tethered to the desk by Cheng Qingcheng be besides Shang Yang?Cheng Qingcheng caught too many melon seeds, and he didn't finish eating until midnight. He spit out a lot of melon seed husks, bit off the thick rope, wandered around the room angrily, and found Cheng Qingcheng's hand on the bed. It was me who was caught by this bad hand!

Cheng Qingcheng tied a copper coin with a red string on his wrist. Shangyang Shenniao felt that he had changed into a string-like phobia and needed compensation, so he raised his head and pecked at the red string.

Cheng Qingcheng fell into a drowsy sleep, and felt his wrist itchy and wanted to scratch it. Shang Yang thought that he was about to scratch himself again, so he pecked hard, causing Cheng Qingcheng to bleed. The red rope broke and fell on the ground. Shang Yang's head.Shang Yang felt that the copper coin was a little heavy, so he swung it left and right, but it didn't come off. It turned out that the hole in the middle of Brother Kong Fang was covering the feathers on the top of its head.

Second Master Cheng touched his hand, and with a bloody idea, he fell back and fell asleep again.

Shang Yang swung the two red ropes on the left and right and rushed out of the door, Emma, ​​this man is so scary, Lin Xiancao help, Xiao Furong help.

It's just that Lin Daiyu is also fast asleep, and no one can comfort her wounded heart for the time being. With a copper coin on her head, she stands beside the gemstone bird, and her strange aesthetics makes her feel beautiful.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Daiyu opened her eyes, she saw Shang Yang proudly holding her head up beside her pillow, with a copper coin stuck in her feathers, "What's the matter? Did you give me the money early in the morning?"

She raised her hand to take a look at the copper coin, but Shang Yang hurriedly ran away, screaming, and shook her head wildly, two red threads slapped her face.

Yishuang laughed, "It thinks it looks good, and you should praise it. I don't know where I picked up such a thing."

Everyone in the room looked helplessly at Shang Yang, who was still slapping his face seriously. What is the beauty of this copper coin... They have precious stones, so at least you deserve gold.
