Chapter 45 The Red Chamber (45)(1/2)

Red Building 45

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes in her heart. This second master is really a master. The family affairs are always pushed to her at the first time. But outside, it is a couple, and what should be maintained. She smiled and said, "Big brother is really, it's time to go to court. I'm afraid that Uncle Lin is not in the mansion. How can we hire someone? I can still chase him to the Golden Palace."

Jia Zhen was stunned, and this was right. The men in the Jia family looked at each other and quickly staggered it. None of the men in this room were qualified to attend court, and now they almost forgot about whether to be an official or to attend court. Jia Zheng suddenly felt a burning face and a little uncomfortable.

Wang Xifeng smiled and walked over to Jia Mu, "Old lady, we all know what you think of your granddaughter. But Lin Meimei was afraid that she would not come. Yesterday I beat the girl to the Lin family to ask for a few cans of pickled vegetables, and I heard that Lin Meimei had just recovered from illness. It rained a few days ago, and her sister was greedy for cold weather, so she fell ill. Because she was afraid that the old lady would worry, the Lin family didn't say it. Then I know, so I dare not say it. I can't say that Lin Meimei is filial and knows that it doesn't make the old lady worry. I am a sister-in-law, but I don't understand this principle. If it weren't for the old lady asking, I wouldn't dare to mention it anymore. We wouldn't go to ask someone at this time. First, we are afraid that your grandparents will not get better and will not be able to recover from each other. Second, I am afraid that Mr. Lin will think too much, and I think the old lady blames her for not taking good care of Lin Meimei. It's just that. Do you think this is the reason?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng with a deep meaning, and always felt that this was not right. She wanted to say something else to remove, but she heard Wang Xifeng say, "If you always worry, you will beat someone and send some medicinal materials, which is your wish." She just didn't mention the matter of picking up people.

Mrs. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. Now Wang Xifeng is pregnant. There is no one to go out to do business.

According to what the old lady said, it would definitely not be possible to invite Lin Ruhai. I guess the old lady didn't know this truth. It was just that she first proposed a condition and waited for Lin Ruhai to bargain. It can't be said that he didn't come by himself, so he wouldn't allow Lin Daiyu to come. This advancement and retreat have achieved the goal of accepting Lin Daiyu over here. But if this is true, the Lin family agreed, but who will go to pick up the Jia family? You can't ask Wang Xifeng to go with her belly. Mrs. Wang thought to herself: The one who is unlucky at that time is not her. She really can't bear to leave her face and go to do something that others obviously don't like.

What Wang Xifeng said made Jia Mu unhappy. She didn't believe that Wang Xifeng, who had always been smart, just couldn't understand what she meant today.

When I looked at Mrs. Wang on the other side, I obviously didn't want to speak, which made Jia Mu's temporary intention end in vain.

The imperial physician came and saw the people gathered in the room, and thought that the old lady of the Jia family was in trouble. What a big disease, such a big situation. But he didn't know what to say about this pulse. It was just that the person was old and could not stand the wind, but he just caught a cold. When someone was idle, he poured a bowl of ginger soup and slept with a quilt, and then he had nothing to do. But the Jia family invited him so seriously, and he didn't know who to show it. Could it be that he would still hope to promote their reputation of filial piety to them? If it weren't for the fact that the money was quite generous and easy, how could he serve the family?

I felt a little whispered in my heart and picked up a pen to prescribe the prescription. Thinking of the style of this family, the medicines in the prescriptions all chose the most expensive medicinal materials. Otherwise, the family would have thought they were quack doctors.

Seeing that the imperial physician said that there was nothing big, the room was scattered in a blink of an eye. Wang Xifeng was unwilling to stay and roll her eyes to see the old lady, so she straightened her stomach and said that she was not messing around here, and then turned around and left.

Jia Mu lay on the ** and leaned against the pillow to ask Yuanyang: "What's wrong with Feng Meitu these days?"

Yuanyang has always been a little vigilant about Wang Xifeng, and always felt that this person was too smart. He said vaguely: "My mother is good to the eldest girl of the Lin family, and maybe she knows nothing. Master Lin went to Beijing to report his work, but now it has been a few months, and he has not said to go back to Jiangnan, nor has he stayed in the capital. But he also entered the palace day by day, and the carriages in front of the Lin family are constantly stopping. I think there must be something we don't know. Since we don't know anything, it may be really inappropriate if we rashly call people. In my heart, I am afraid it should be for the old lady." I went to invite people but couldn't in the end, which would make the old lady unable to come.

Jia Mu paused, but she didn't say anything.

The next day, Jia Mu's health was getting better and she remembered that it was Wang Xifeng's birthday. She called Yu Shi, the grandmother of Zhen from Ningguo Mansion, and said she wanted to celebrate Feng's birthday. She asked her to take care of her.

After a while, he started to join the crowd. The old lady started to start, no one was afraid of giving face. She was busy talking about how much money she wanted to raise. The house was lively and soon it reached Wang Xifeng's ears. She sighed in her heart. To be honest, she couldn't be happy at all. Who would be happy to pay for the money? Neither the eldest wife nor the wife would be happy. In addition, the girls in the family had a difficult life, and they had a month's monthly banking, and they didn't know what to think of to make a month. There were many decent girls and mothers who had to raise one. These people wouldn't say anything about it, but if they wanted them to pay for the money, they might not be really happy. This is not a resentment or something.

Xiaohong said: "The old lady gave a portion of Baoyu, and the wife said she wanted to give a portion of the big one. Just count it roughly, there were more than one hundred taels of silver. Not to mention the three days of lively, even five days, it would be enough."

"Don't worry about the rest. Just think about how to return the gift to the right person." Wang Xifeng sighed: "The old lady doesn't think about it. First, pick a heavier gold hairpin, regardless of the style, and give it to the eldest lady, and pay her sixteen taels of silver. The wife may not really give it to the silver. It's probably just a empty word, so you don't have to worry about it. In addition, you prepare a few boxes of copper coins and send it to a few girls. It's said that it's for them to give it to their daily rewards.

The human beings have paid back their affection. The girl below, please find a few batches of cloth, cut them into a ruler, and send them to them, and then say I have accepted their affection. Aunt Xue sends some fresh snacks and fruits to her, which is also considered a wish. First, the Xue family is not short of money, and second, it is a relative who returns the money back, but he doesn't give him face." She thought about it again in her heart and told Xiaohong, "Just do it like this."

Seeing that her grandmother didn't mention Grandma Zhen, Xiaohong was about to ask, and she suddenly understood. Grandma You made a figure, and she would take out the silver herself, who knows. However, she was rich in silver, and probably she wouldn't take the silver. Not only would she not take it, but she could get the remaining silver. So she nodded and went down to do it quickly.

Xiaohong was doing things very well. Before the money he had collected money was delivered, the reward gift that was worth only high or low was delivered to his hands. Who else felt uncomfortable? This was done openly.

You Shi received the money the next day and was puzzled. Looking at her neat appearance, this Feng girl was more popular. Seeing that she didn't have the money she sent by Mrs. Wang, You Shi couldn't help but shake her head. If she really didn't give it to her, could she still speak? But if everyone below said that life in the mansion is not easy now, and seeing how her wife is doing now, it turns out to be like this.

She smiled in her heart and got up to discuss her birthday with Wang Xifeng.

"You are now getting more and more shameless." You said half-truely: "Not only the old lady values ​​it, I saw that the family was defeated from above, but I didn't say that you were bad. I really became a Bodhisattva or not."

"You are just squeezing me there. I'm not going to bother you." Wang Xifeng gave her a blank look and said, "Just that money, you can do whatever it takes. I'm so heavy that I can't stand it. I'm too lazy to worry about it."

"You are very helpful." You glanced at her and said, "The old lady said, "The opera troupe at home is familiar with you, so you want to order a opera troupe."

The smile on Wang Xifeng's face slightly stopped. Is this really a compliment? Even though she knew she was pregnant, she would invite some other troupes to play. What should I do if I was shocked by the child?

After seeing Wang Xifeng's expression, You Shi felt a little enlightened. It can be seen that no matter how much the old lady valued her, she might not really put the Feng girl in her heart. She just didn't know that, and she was waiting for Wang Xifeng's words with gloating.

Wang Xifeng didn't know You Shi's face. The two of them competed openly and secretly one after another. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't believe it. You don't know which opera troupe the old lady likes. I'm going to ask me. You just keep doing it. Can I still come and watch the show?" As she said, she lowered her eyes and stroked her stomach. This child is so unrespected that he can cause this incident. It makes people feel sad when I think about it.

You Shi appreciated the loneliness in Wang Xifeng's eyes and was about to get up when she saw Xiaohong bringing Zhou Rui's family in.

Zhou Rui's family put the silver on the table and said to You Shi: "I originally planned to go to the mansion to find ***, but my grandmother came first. This is money for the wife and the big ***."

Wang Xifeng smiled in her heart, what does it mean to send it to her eyes? She expects to return it to her. Why? She smiled and said, "It's a waste of money."

You Shi glanced at Wang Xifeng in surprise. This guy had taken the wrong medicine today. Why did she scream with her own aunt? Zhou Rui's family did so obviously and was delivered to Wang Xifeng's eyes. Isn't it just that he didn't want to pay the money? Now Wang Xifeng didn't respond in front of him, whether the money was accepted or not. You Shi smiled in her heart and then returned it to Zhou Rui's family, "I'll ask the wife to take it first. If it's not enough, I'll go find the wife to ask for it."

Zhou Rui's family refused a few times and took the silver away.

Wang Xifeng sneered: "Didn't you take my money to be a good person?"

"You have to be honest, why has it become your money?" You stood up and said, "I'm crazy about money. If you pick up some money, can you still take it to the coffin?"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was about to spit on her. But Youshi turned around and went out with a smile. Because of watching Wang Xifeng's joke, Youshi was in a very good mood all the way.

On the second day of September, it was Wang Xifeng's birthday. Lin Yutong beat Sister Ping to give Wang Xifeng a birthday gift.

The Lin family gave Wang Xifeng such a big face, Ping'er only held Sister Ping's wife and refused to let go. She must ask her to stay and have a drink before leaving.

Because it was Jia Mu's intention, Wang Xifeng couldn't go out in her yard. She couldn't go there and didn't go to join in the fun and watch the show. Instead, she went to Jia Mu's room and rested. If someone came to celebrate her birthday, she would talk to her for a while. When there was no one, she lay down and rested. Since she was pregnant, her words to the outside world have been in a short state. No one felt it was abrupt.

Just as he was resting, he heard the noise outside. Soon, Xiaohong came in, but her face was a little unnatural.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xifeng asked, "Don't mess with me, what's wrong."

"The old lady asked someone to find Baoyu. Xiren said that an important concubine in the Beijing Palace was gone. So, she went in plain clothes." Xiaohong whispered.

Wang Xifeng thought to herself, nowadays, the concubine is so important. The funeral is so grand. If her birthday really hits such a day, she can only admit that she is unlucky. Anyway, she doesn’t have these taboos. Seeing Xiaohong want to speak but stop, she asked, “What else is there to be hidden.”

"A boy said that Mr. Bao had beaten people and prepared horses yesterday. Today he walked quietly from the back door, as if he had left the north gate. He was indeed wearing plain clothes, and I don't know who he was going to pay tribute to." Xiaohong whispered.

It's a simple costume again! This birthday is really disgusting. Why is it so unlucky?

Wang Xifeng's heart suddenly became cold. She was preparing horses yesterday, obviously this was the day I chose yesterday. But in the past few days, no one in the mansion knew that he was going to celebrate the birthday. Why did Baoyu have to pay tribute to the people today? Besides, he didn't dare to ask the mansion to know, and Xiren even lied specifically. Thinking about it this way, the more he felt colder he felt. This only means that Baoyu himself knew that it was inappropriate to go out for tribute to the people today. But Hai Huasi went there. With Xiren's

It is impossible for a person to be a person who has not been persuaded. Since he has been persuaded, he still went there. It can be seen that this person who is tributed to everyone who dares not let everyone know is more important than the one who comes with his sister-in-law and cousin. He doesn't really take good care of Baoyu, but he still has a five-point heart. Now that he is treated like this, it's really sarcastic. She smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Xiaohong: "It's rare to be confused. It's just that he just doesn't know."

But Jia Mu waited until Baoyu came back before the banquet was held.

Wang Xifeng couldn't hide, so she smiled and said, "Thanks to the old lady who loved me, I asked me to enjoy it for a day." As she said that, she refused to be a regular meal.

Because of her pregnancy, Wang Xifeng didn't even get any wine.

Youshi followed up and said, "You can't drink it, but what should everyone do?"

Wang Xifeng was still about to speak, so Ping'er stood up with a smile and said, "If Grandma Zhen doesn't dislike me for being vulgar, I'll drink it for our grandma." He kept talking in front of others, and it was a good day for her.

You Shi smiled and looked at Wang Xifeng, "You can bear it."

"I am willing to give up. I am afraid that our Lian Er will not be willing to give up. It's better to show mercy to his subordinates." Wang Xifeng said indifferently.

You Shi pulled Ping'er and said, "It's a blessing that such a good girl came out to help you, and you have been squeezing others. I thought that your temperament has changed now, but now it seems that you are still the same slutty and dilapidated."

Wang Xifeng laughed, not caring at all. She only picked up what she liked. She looked at the fun of everyone. She felt bored, so she just squinted her eyes with a spoon and pretended to take a nap.

Jia Mu asked Xiaohong to help Wang Xifeng down and rest. She said to Aunt Xue: "I think she should be a kid. Girls can't be such a troublesome girl."

Aunt Xue nodded and said yes. Wang Xifeng was embarrassed to sue, so she went to the wing room in the old lady's house again. Before the banquet had ended, she was bored when she left.

But Wang Xifeng went to rest. Ping'er was socializing for her. She is now half a housekeeper, and no one would give her any face. There are also people like Li Wan and Tanchun, who are named as a housekeeper, but in terms of real power, they are not as good as a concubine from a girl. How could these people feel comfortable? The servants around them must not pull Ping'er to drink wine desperately. For a moment, they became a little drunk.

Not to mention the noise in front of me, I just said that Wang Xifeng was just pretending to be sleepy. Now I was asking the kitchen to make two bowls of sour soup, so I could eat sweetly while soaking the rice. Xiaohong was just watching her teeth sour.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a little girl looked up and then retracted.

When Wang Xifeng saw it, she said to Xiaohong: "Go and take a look, this sneaky, I don't know what to do."

Seeing that this girl was also one of the houses left in the yard, Xiaohong hurried out, "What's wrong, she's so reckless."

The girl leaned over to Xiaohong and whispered: "Grandma went out for the front foot, and somehow the second master went back to the yard. I saw that the second master had taken a lot of things from Aunt Ping's house, which should be cloth. The second master told the boy around him to go out with the things. I thought it was Er's house to change money, so I looked at the house through the window and didn't show up. After a while, the boy took Bao Er's wife and quietly entered the yard and went to Aunt Ping's house. I saw that... it was not good, so I hurried over and talked. When the trouble came out, what kind of face would our grandma have?"

Xiaohong's face turned pale. She hurriedly said, "Go back and stare, don't make people dirty our house."

The girl responded quickly and ran out in a flash.

Xiaohong was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to call grandma to know. But then she thought, if she didn't call him, she could really hide it. There is something in this mansion that can be hidden. I wish that the mosquitoes and flies at home had more ears than other people's homes. She gritted her teeth and went in, and when she saw that Wang Xifeng had finished eating, she hurriedly handed over the tea to rinse her mouth.

"But something happened again." Wang Xifeng spitted the mouthwash in her mouth and said, "If you have something to do, say it. If you don't have a story or two in our family, what's there to be rare?"

Xiaohong said nervously: "No matter what, grandma has to take care of the children in her belly first."

Wang Xifeng paused and said, "Tell me, is our second master doing something good?"

Xiaohong had to simply tell the matter. Wang Xifeng suddenly became angry. He was pregnant and happened to be like this. It would be fine if he was scrambling outside. He turned a blind eye and just did nothing. But he couldn't do that kind of bastard, and chose such a day to bring people to the yard. Who would he slap in the face?

"Grandma calm down. With my confused thoughts, why are grandma angry? She only cares about the children in her belly. It is serious to have a support. Why bother to be so angry?" Xiaohong quickly persuaded.

"You're right." Wang Xifeng's face was pale and showed a hideous smile. "Let him be at ease."

Xiaohong's heart was thrilled. Her grandmother had never been a good person. She was afraid that her life would not be easy in the future.

But Ping'er was a little dizzy after being fed, so she got up and begged for forgiveness, saying that she wanted to wash her face and then came. These people thought she wanted to change clothes, but after all, she had a lot of alcohol, which was a normal demand.

Ping'er was dizzy and went to the yard, just wanting to lie down and sleep. This was heavy and light, and even the road under her feet seemed to be shaking.

The little girl at the door saw that Ping'er was coming back, so she didn't rush to report the message. The second master just said that she would watch the mother come back. She didn't care about the second master, so she thought it would be a big deal.

There was nothing unusual along the way, and Ping'er successfully returned to the yard. As soon as she walked to the door of the house, she heard something wrong inside.

"...Your wife was like a man like a king of hell before, but now she is under control by Ping'er. Sooner or later, the master and servant died, so that we will be more comfortable..." A woman in the room said.

"Ping'er's hoof is now more in charge, but she's just dead. But my wife can't die." This is Jia Lian's voice.

Ping'er suddenly didn't know what it felt like, and she was very kind to this person. In the end, she didn't know where the wild woman she brought to her house, but she was still looking forward to her death.

The woman said again, "What, I can't bear to part with your mother Yasha's wife, then you'll just leave me..."

"Oh, my empress, I can't live without you, and it's all right to die." Jia Lian said with a heavy breathing, "I don't feel sorry for the mother Yasha, but I just feel sorry for my son. It's okay if she dies when her son is born. We will be happy if we marry another person with a weak temperament."

Ping'er felt the fire on her head rise up and pushed open the door suddenly, "You are doing such dirty things, and you still dare to look forward to my grandma and you're going to die." As she said that, she rushed over, lifted the quilt and exposed the two. Ping'er didn't know where she got the strength, so she grabbed the head of the Bao Er family and dragged it under the **, "Don't the prostitute who is trying to flirt with men? I'll ask everyone to come and see your dirty flesh today."

The two were already having a joking fuss, but they were shocked by Ping'er and couldn't react. In addition, Ping'er didn't beat anyone, and without saying a word, she just pulled Bao Er's wife and went out naked. Jia Lian wanted to stop him, but now he was not wearing any clothes. He had no face to run out.

The Bao Er family was originally a person who could not stand on the table. They dared to say some frivolous words behind their backs and did not dare to face Ping'er head-on. So they were scared. Ping'er was drunk again and was angry, and pulled Bao Er's wife straight out of the yard with brute force.
To be continued...
