The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 244 Prelude [Part [-]]

[Having been tinkering with August [-]th for a long time, I found that I have to write about August [-]th...]

Near noon.

Inside the three small halls.

Wang Xifeng, who had just finished handling the housework, stood up and walked back and forth a few times, stretching her muscles and bones a little, then asked Ping'er, who was standing beside her, "Has there been any movement at Madam's side?"

Unexpectedly, Ping'er didn't react at all, she still stood in front of the bed with her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Ping'er, Ping'er?!"

It wasn't until Sister Feng yelled twice more that Ping'er came to his senses, and hurriedly laughed and said, "What's your order, grandma?"

Wang Xifeng looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What's wrong with you recently, you seem to lose your soul day by day?"

What else could it be for?
Naturally, it was because of the appointment in the cave tomorrow night.

But this matter must not be stated clearly, so Ping'er covered it up a little flustered: "First, the old lady celebrates her birthday, and then it's the August Festival. I am busy with my grandma inside and out, and I feel a little mentally ill for a while. That's all."

"really?"

Wang Xifeng still didn't let go of her doubts, she frowned and said: "Could you help the second master again and hide something from me?"

"Grandma is really wronging me!"

Seeing that she had lost her mind, Ping'er heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time hurriedly called out to Qu: "Second Master's quarrel with us is not something that happened recently, so how can it be blamed on me? Playing outside, I can't hear anything, let alone help him hide it from you!"

It is said that money is the courage of a hero.

Although Jia Lian was far from being called a hero, since he won the fat vacancy in the other institute of supervision, his courage is getting better and better every day.

And because of the fact that there are many girls, I don't dare to eat grass by the side of the nest anymore, so I often use the name of the project to spend days and nights outside and stay away.

This made it difficult for Wang Xifeng to deal with.

She has all kinds of means for family affairs, but she can't do it outside - but she can't stop Jia Lian from going out to socialize, can she?

Especially after the concubine was conferred by the Jin Dynasty in Yuanchun, new friends from all over the world often came to invite them, and there was no reason to refuse them all because of emotion and reason.

Ordinary women can still cry to their parents-in-law when encountering such things.

But Jia She and the Xing family...

I'm afraid it's good not to make trouble!

As for Jia Mu's side, to put it lightly, the old lady can only make love;

Under such a dilemma, Wang Xifeng was filled with anger, and felt that everything she saw was not pleasing to the eye.

Just now I suspected that Ping'er was playing tricks, but it was just to vent my anger.

After Ping'er's arguments, and thinking that Jia Lian's absence at night would not do Ping'er any good, Wang Xifeng also put the matter aside and asked again: "Is there any movement with Madam?"

"In the morning, I heard that Baoyu's condition has been relapsed, and my wife probably went there..."

"I'm asking our wife!"

Only then did Ping'er realize that she was talking about Mrs. Xing, the eldest wife, so she thought about it carefully and reported: "Should you be at home? Ever since the master was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, the wife rarely went out, and only went to the Buddhist hall every now and then. Come check it out."

"Every three to five?"

Wang Xifeng only heard that Mrs. Xing would visit Jia She in the Buddhist hall, but she didn't know that the frequency was so low. Hearing this, she couldn't help being surprised and said: "It's strange, she doesn't come to visit every day?"

Thinking of the old lady's usual behavior, Ping'er felt a little puzzled, so he suggested: "The Lin Zhixiao family is taking care of that over there, why don't we ask her to come..."

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, and Ping'er then sent the little girl to pass the message to the deer top of the second gate.

Not long after, Lin Zhixiao's wife, Mrs. Liu, hurried over, and first made a salute upon entering the door, calling her godmother. The festive and affectionate posture made Wang Xifeng giggle coquettishly.

When Mrs. Liu got up, Ping'er asked from the side: "I heard that my sister is taking care of the Buddhist hall? But what orders does the old lady have, why can't the wife visit often?"

"This……"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a while, thinking that she also asked Sister Feng, so she didn't hide it: "Although the old lady stipulated the time, she didn't say that she couldn't visit every day. When we meet, I force my wife to raise money to pay off the debt, probably because I don’t have enough money to go see the elder.”

"Are you in debt again?"

Wang Xifeng frowned, thinking to herself that the couple really couldn't stop, and then she wondered, "Why haven't the second master and I heard of this?"

The last time he owed debts, Jia Amnesty was the first one to find Jia Lian, and staged a scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety.

"It seems that the old man is afraid of disturbing the old lady, so he will add another crime to the crime, so he specifically ordered not to disturb the family."

"Humph~"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help snorting when he heard the words, thinking that the elder is clearly deceiving, the house is full of wind, how can there be a secret to hide?
How did she know that what Jia Amnesty wanted to hide was not the debt itself, but the worry that the government would know that he had borrowed money from King Zhongshun—who would dare to have anything to do with King Zhongshun in this civil and military court?
"understood."

After asking what happened, she waved her hand at Mrs. Liu: "Go down and do your work."

"This……"

Liu Shi wanted to speak but stopped.

"Why, is there anything else?"

"It's my girl."

Liu rubbed her hands and said with a sneer: "Qingwen has been transferred to Jiao's house for several months now, and the number of maids in the second master Bao's house has always been vacant. Look, can you see..."

"I said, kowtow to me as soon as you come in."

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, and asked Joe's handkerchief, "What's your girl's name?"

"It was originally called Hongyu, but because it interfered with the taboo of Second Master Bao's name, it is now called Xiaohong."

"Xiao Hong, I've made a note."

Wang Xifeng said again: "Brother Bao is not well yet, so there is no rush for this matter, let's wait for a few days to be free, and I will discuss it with Brother Bao—Of course, it also depends on how well your girl is trained, if you can't get into Bao Brother's eyes, but you can't blame me."

"Thank you godmother for your kindness, thank you godmother for your kindness!"

Liu Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

Before going out, I deliberately gave Ping'er 20 two bodies, and then I went there full of anticipation.

Ping'er went back to the room, but saw Wang Xifeng pacing back and forth in the room again, the expression on his face flickering.

"Grandma, what's the matter? If the Lin family's affairs are difficult, why bother..."

"It's not that!"

Wang Xifeng interrupted Ping'er, gritted her teeth and said, "I wonder why the wife asked about the family deeds of Wang and his wife, and why the old lady suddenly sent the master away—but it turned out that she planned to take a sum of money from Brother Shun to pay off the debt." !"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet fiercely and cursed: "These two people who don't care about their heads, they don't hesitate to turn against brother Shun for a little money. It's also thanks to the old lady who knows the details, otherwise I might even be involved!"

In fact, she had thought of blackmailing Jiao Shun before, but now times have changed, Jiao Shun is not only valued by the emperor, but also promoted by Wang Ziteng, the situation is quite different.

Ping'er was surprised and said: "No way? I heard that my wife often calls Brother Shun away recently, intending to match him up with the cousin girl—if I just made an enemy, how dare I..."

"Maybe Brother Shun is still kept in the dark!"

Wang Xifeng sneered again and again: "My wife also just asked me to ask for a life contract, but the matter was stopped by the old lady. He may not know the reason for it-what is the reason for the relationship? I am afraid that he wants to sell his niece and daughter. !"

After a pause, he said again: "Well, you can find an opportunity tomorrow to quietly mention a few words to Brother Shun, so that he won't be coaxed by his wife and be beaten like a chicken!"

This is exactly what Ping'er wants.

She was worried that she would not be able to find an excuse to get out tomorrow, but Wang Xifeng gave a fair reason!

Wang Xifeng, who unconsciously sent out the assist, quickly put the matter behind her and ordered: "You let people know the second master and the second girl, and ask them to go to Dongkua courtyard to gather together, just say it's important. thing!"

Ping'er vaguely guessed something, didn't say any more, and asked people to separately inform Jia Lian and Jia Yingchun brothers and sisters.

Wang Xifeng directly sat in the sedan chair and turned to Dongkua courtyard.

It didn't take long for Jia Yingchun to rush over with Siqi. The aunt and sister-in-law were chatting about each other, and they waited for nearly two quarters of an hour before seeing that Jia Lian was late.

After seeing Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and complained nonchalantly: "I'm paying wages to those mud-legged people, and you called me here in a hurry, what's the matter? "

"It's serious business!"

Wang Xifeng gave him a sideways look, and said angrily: "Tomorrow is the August Festival, the master is still locked in the Buddhist hall, and others are fine, as sons and daughters-in-law, how can we keep pretending to be deaf and dumb and turn a blind eye? "

As he said that, he pinched the orchid flower and pointed it inside: "When you go in and see your wife later, you say that you will take the lead to ask the ancestors to show mercy, and at least let the master come out for the festival."

It's not that Jia Lian didn't think of this episode at first, but he just didn't want to let Jia Amnesty go out, so he subconsciously rejected these thoughts.

Now that Wang Xifeng pointed it out, he was startled to feel that something was wrong.

So he slapped his head and said: "Yes, yes, the fault is that you reminded us in time, we almost lost our filial piety——Let's go, let's ask the wife to take the lead, and I'll beg the old lady!"

Wang Xifeng said that he was asking him to stand out, but he pushed it to Xing's head without thinking. It can be seen that apart from gradually straightening his back in front of his wife, he still has nothing to do with other things.

But with the elder brother and sister-in-law leading the way, Jia Yingchun had no choice but to follow in with the crowd.

It's just that she didn't pay attention, Siqi beside her clenched her teeth and clenched her fists, as if she had made some kind of decision.
