Red Mansions: No Tears

On that day, after Wang Xifeng came back from Lin's house, she guessed that if Mother Jia heard the news of her return, she would definitely send someone over to inquire, so she hurriedly asked someone to find out the medicine package that she had prepared to put away before, and ordered to bring out the stove to boil Medicine, Ping'er understood Wang Xifeng's intentions, and also thought that it was medicine for nourishing the body anyway, so it would be no harm to take it. Naturally, following Wang Xifeng's intention, he immediately got busy back and forth, and only then did Hu Po come over. The scene I saw at that time.

Later, when Jia Lian came back, he saw Wang Xifeng lying halfway on the warm couch with a sleepy look, so he couldn't help asking with concern: "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to see Sister Lin today? But have you been there? Someone picked her up Never?"

"Hey! How could Sister Lin come back with me? Do you really think I have such a big face? It's just an excuse to go to the Lin's house to relax." Wang Xifeng laughed lightly and replied as if mocking herself .

"What? Did she get mad at you?!" Seeing that his wife's expression and tone were a little off, Jia Lian asked another question quickly.

"Don't talk nonsense! Do you really think that Sister Lin is petty-tempered by everyone in the whole family? Do you really think that she will be popular at will? Let me tell you, maybe Sister Lin is the one who understands the most among us. "Wang Xifeng shook her head, and at the same time sat up straight with the support of the side, and sighed to Jia Lian with a serious face.

"Hey! What you said really made me more confused. What did Sister Lin tell you today?" Jia Lian looked at his wife curiously, and always felt that Wang Xifeng looked...um~ seemed a little different today. ! ?But after a closer look, it seems that there is no difference.

"I didn't say anything, it's just that...it just woke me up." Wang Xifeng shook his head again, and this time there was a hint of bitterness in his shallow smile...

"Let's talk! I want to know what can stump us, Feng Lazi, who has always been omnipotent. Could it be that sister Lin has made some unreasonable demands on you?" Jia Lian said casually, but he didn't feel that Lin What demands would my sister make of her wife? If she really wanted something, wouldn't it be easier to go directly to the old lady?

"Can't you see it? Sister Lin is eager to stay far away from our house. If it weren't for the fact that the old lady is her real grandmother, she might never see us." Wang Xifeng whitened Jia Lian angrily. With a glance, he replied sarcastically.

"Really?!" Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment. As a man, he doesn't interfere with the affairs of the inner house, so how could he know the situation of his own inner house?But he thought about it. When he was in Yangzhou, sister Lin was indifferent and alienated to them, and after returning to the Rongguo mansion, she repeatedly blocked Baoyu from the courtyard gate, turning a blind eye, and Lin Yu just came to Beijing for the first time. She couldn't wait to follow Lin Yu back to the Lin family's behavior... From all the circumstances, it seems to be the case?

"You don't have to think about it. Sister Lin really didn't say anything special. She just kindly persuaded me to let go of everything that should be put down. My body is more important than anything else. She also said... oh ~Second Master, let me ask you a question today, do you know why the old lady insisted on letting the old lady and the others live in Rongxi Hall? Logically speaking, the masters of our house should be the elders and the elders. Madam, otherwise, it should be an old lady, but the old lady handed over the power of managing the family and finances to the wife... Although I, I despise the old lady's old-fashioned appearance, the reason for this distinction is still I understand, and I always thought that everything I did was for the sake of the big house. I didn't expect to hear what Sister Lin said today. She didn't seem to think so, and she even felt sorry for me, but I thought about it myself , I found out that Sister Lin's words were true at all. Although I am taking care of the housework in the house, the real power is not in my hands. But if there is any important matter, I still have to consult my wife first before making a decision. "Wang Xi sighed weakly, showing a rare look of frustration.

"Sister Lin thinks so too? Could it be that Mrs. Lin told her something before she was alive? But grandma doesn't have to feel sad. Don't say I can understand the old lady's thoughts. The old man knows it well, otherwise Last year's mid-autumn night, he wouldn't intentionally choke on the old lady, and insisted on telling Brother Huan something like 'this hereditary future won't run away from you'." Jia Lian snorted lightly, but it was actually a question to Wang Xifeng. There was no hint of anger in the words.

"Really?! Why haven't I heard of this?" Wang Xifeng widened her eyes in astonishment.

"Who dares to spread such words? It's not like you don't know that the master and wife want fame the most. Besides, they may not have thought about it in their hearts, but they haven't been exposed in their hearts." Jia Lian replied indifferently.

"Then you should tell me too! Could it be that our husband and wife have been cheating for several years?!" Wang Xifeng asked angrily.

"Haven't you always been closest to your good aunt? I'm afraid that if I say this, you will think that I'm trying to provoke the relationship between your aunt and nephew, so naturally I can not mention it." Jia Lian seemed to be ironic He shrugged, he was not a fool, he didn't know that if he said something that was obviously unfavorable to the second wife, Wang Xifeng would very likely turn around and sue Wang.

"I, how did I know that my aunt would be such a person? When I saw her in the past, she always only knew how to worship the Buddha in the Buddhist hall, so I thought she...she...ah! Anyway, now I know what kind of person she is, so naturally I won't do it again. I believe her words." Wang Xifeng tilted her head guiltily, stiffened her neck, and retorted with a smell of gunpowder.

"But now that grandma knows the truth, I don't have to worry about the future. In fact, when I went to Yangzhou, Mrs. Lin had already mentioned something about us. He said that although he had never seen our family with his own eyes, What is the situation, but listening to those rumors, I feel afraid that there will be no end in the future. They also said that the whole world is not the king's land, and what those nobles are most afraid of is that the vision comes from the people. The story of "born with jade" is always on the lips, and he does not shy away from mentioning it in front of others from time to time. If the two masters are not considered capable, they may have been ransacked and exterminated." The more Jia Lian talked, the more he called Wang Xifeng I felt a chill down my spine.

What Wang Xifeng has always been most proud of is that she is the head mistress of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, so what do you want?She always believed that she was so powerful that there was nothing she couldn't do. Wasn't it because of this mentality that she was able to get 3000 taels with just two or three sentences in Tiekan Temple?As for the final result of the other party, she seems to have never taken it to heart...

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng suddenly got another shock, and suddenly remembered that one day, it seemed that someone said something like this: "Don't rely on grandma's backing, just bully others all day long, be careful that one day you will commit crimes against your wife. Tell you can't eat and walk around!At that time, I will let you know that grandma is not the only master in this mansion'... Who is it?It's a pity that the weather was bad that day, and there was a wall across, so she couldn't recognize who was speaking at the other end, but based on the grandma and wife mentioned in those words, she was afraid that the only people around her who would scold her were those around her. up.

"Second Master, if... I said if... if someone in our family committed a crime, what would happen?" Wang Xifeng asked in a panic.

"If someone in our family unfortunately commits a crime, there will naturally be no major problems for a while. Anyway, there is still a virtuous concubine in the palace, isn't there? But it will be hard to say in the future. The old prince Yizhong's lesson from the past It's still there, they are relatives of the emperor anyway, isn't it just like a tree falling down and a monkey scattered?" Although Jia Lian knew that the future was uncertain, but thinking that Jia's family still had a virtuous concubine in the palace to support the sky, it should not be too late in a short time. As for something.

"Who knows how long the empress will be favored?! You men are always fond of the new and dislike the old, and the empress has no sons and daughters around her. I'm afraid this good time will only last for a few years!" Wang Xifeng said through gritted teeth.

Wang Xifeng understands the so-called nature of a man best, and she further thinks that she has to worry about being a wife, and the virtuous concubine in the palace is just a noble concubine, not a queen, wouldn't it be easier to fall out of favor? !Thinking about how the old lady and wife have put in a lot of effort over the years to keep their foothold in the palace for the empress, isn't it just because they are worried that the empress will fall out of favor one day?Or maybe that favor was for another purpose? !

Alas!With Wang Xifeng's cleverness, she was able to think about many key points in just half a day, and realized that her family's situation might not be as strong and invincible as she thought before, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang always They are all deceiving themselves and others, thinking that if Jia Yuanchun's favor persists, the prosperity of the Jia family will be just around the corner. Mrs. Wang even dreams that Jia Zheng's official position will soon be promoted again.

"Hey! What you said...is it really unreliable?" Jia Lian scratched her head in distress.

Before Lin Ruhai died of illness, Jia Yuanchun hadn't been made a concubine. Although he knew that there was an eldest niece who was a female history in the palace, he never thought that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were so naive that they planned to use the happiness of their own granddaughter (daughter) for the rest of their lives. Everyone is looking for a future, who told Jia Yuanchun to be able to stay in the palace for more than ten years before turning over?Therefore, he would not tell Jia Lian that the harem should not be involved in politics. Jia Lian didn't think Wang Xifeng's words were credible, but felt that they were all reasonable?Not to mention the far ones, but the ones close by... There are more than a dozen aunts and maids in his father's inner house, don't they still want to touch the pretty maids and daughters-in-law when they see them?

"It's unreliable, how dare I say it? Isn't it all up to you guys to decide what's going on outside?" Wang Xifeng twitched the corners of her lips, and leaned against the railing next to the warm couch weakly. She knew in her heart that she wanted to be herself Well, I can no longer hold the power in the mansion, but I feel unwilling, and I always think that if there is a way to get the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be appropriate?It's just that the only reliable backer is her second uncle, Wang Ziteng, who is still my aunt's brother. If the aunt and nephew really quarreled to the point of falling out one day, it would be a question of which side the second uncle would help, that's all!She can only accept her own fate, but fortunately, she has collected a lot of silver before, and the rest... just think of it for the sake of the life of Rong Guogong's family, and it should also be a good deed for herself.

But Jia Lian didn't know what Wang Xifeng was thinking, he just rejoiced secretly, fortunately, Aunt Lin had expected the old lady's love for Baoyu back then, fearing that the Rongguo Duke's mansion would not all fall into his hands in the future, and he also thought that he didn't treat Sister Lin He had some bad intentions before, so he took out a sum of money to help him set up a property, and now he has made a lot of profit, but it's a pity that he never dared to let his wife know about those shops, for fear of being caught by Wang Xifeng. After having the money, I have confidence again, and I will be even more unwilling to give up the rights in my hands.

Of course Jia Lian is reluctant to lose his title, but unfortunately, the secret struggle between his father and the old lady has not yet been decided. The virtuous and virtuous concubine in the middle school asked her to tell her that maybe the title of this family would really fall on Baoyu's head, and he also heard that his wife planned to hire a girl from the Xue family as Baoyu's wife, so he had been refusing to face it. The old lady who responded seemed to have the intention to let go, but the old lady kept asking people to pick up Sister Lin back. I don't know if it was because she felt that she couldn't swallow that breath, or because she wanted to deceive others... Sigh!As for the matter between the old lady and the wife, it is better if the daughter-in-law does not get involved, so that the two parties will not be human in the end. ?
