Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 136 Xifeng sits on wax, Jia Lian is the host

Among the two houses, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing have the best relationship.

In addition to being the daughter-in-law of the head of the family, there are many common topics.

It is also because the two have many similarities in temperament.

Both of them are the kind of people who are very thoughtful and extremely strong.

You have to handle the matter at hand properly and properly.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to sleep well.

It's just that the two come from different backgrounds and have different ways of dealing with things.

Qin Keqing was born in a small family, so she often uses gentle methods.

After taking charge of the Ning Mansion, no one in the He Mansion would boast.

And Wang Xifeng was born in the royal family of Jinling, and the powerful faction of his ancestors is rarely matched.

There is a sense of superiority in the bones.

He is not a bad person, but he is extremely strong in his dealings.

This caused many servants to be more afraid of her than respectful.

Thinking about it, I know that even Jia Lian is three points shorter when he sees her.

Let alone ordinary servants?
As Wang Xifeng's right-hand man, Ping'er was in Jia Lian's house.

In the eyes of others, it is very face-saving.

Slowly, it became a buffer between the subordinates and Wang Xifeng in Rongfu.

Many things in the Rong Mansion are all asked to her.

If he can help, Ping'er will never hesitate to help.

It can be said that wherever he went, the word "ping" was answered.

Calm flat.

After a few years, his reputation has been fulfilled.

No one in the entire family can say that she is wrong.

Therefore, Qingwen, who was about to fight with everyone, had to calm down when she saw her.

When Ping'er came back from Daiyu's house, he naturally didn't dare to hide it.

So I told Wang Xifeng about the bird's nest.

"Grandma, my trip was not in vain." Ping'er sighed as soon as he entered the room.

Wang Xifeng was immediately curious when he heard the words, and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Miss Lin really found a good family. Uncle Feng treats her very well!"

Naturally, Ping'er couldn't sell Qingwen.

So I praised Feng Yibo first, and then said in a simple and simple way:

"I went to deliver the bird's nest just now, and it happened that Qingwen helped Miss Lin pack things."

"Seeing that they also brought bird's nests, I wanted to let them know that grandma gave them good things."

Speaking of this, she paused, her tone seemed unwilling to say:

"As a result, grandma guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

Seeing her appearance, Wang Xifeng joked indifferently:

"Couldn't it be the bird's nest that Feng Yuan brought to them, the same as the top-quality rainy season Chuzhan given by Concubine Nan'an?"

She only took this as a joke, and she couldn't help laughing after she said it.

Ping'er nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It's really different."

"Of course it's different! What kind of character is Princess Nan'an?"

Wang Xifeng didn't know what was wrong with Ping'er, but she always felt that she was a little silly today.

"The things her old man gave are no worse than tributes!"

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Ping'er shook her head again and said:
"No, grandma, listen to me!"

Speaking of this, Ping'er said with a straight face:
"What I'm talking about is that Miss Lin's bird's nest is even better than the ones we sent!"

"What?" Wang Xifeng didn't believe it.

"That shape... really!"

Ping'er seemed to recall the situation of the comparison just now, and couldn't help admiring:
"I don't know if I don't compare it. After comparing it, it is indeed much plumper than our top-quality bird's nest!"

"Aren't you kidding me?"

Wang Xifeng had question marks on his face, and his brows were frowned like commas.

"How dare I lie to grandma about this?"

Ping'er did not lie about this matter.

Usually, what she lied to was usually trivial things that didn't hurt or itch.

She had never delayed in business.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng also knew what Ping'er was like, so she immediately asked: "Then how much did she bring?"

If it's just one, it's not worth anything.

"A closet full!"

Ping'er compared and measured it, and without asking, he knew that there were a lot of them.

That was not all, she added:
"Qingwen said that Miss Lin has been using it daily for more than half a year."

"Ah this..."

Wang Xifeng's last illusion was also annihilated.

For a moment, I felt ashamed and annoyed.

If it's for Daiyu's daily use, it's better than asking her to give it to you.

Wouldn't her so-called "big rewards" become a joke in the eyes of others?
Even remembering that Feng Yibo must have laughed at her in his heart when he said to give away the best bird's nest just now?

Seeing Wang Xifeng gnash her teeth after sitting on the wax.

Ping'er knew what she was thinking, and persuaded softly:

"Uncle Feng probably just didn't want to refute grandma's face, so he didn't say anything."

Ping'er knows her temperament best, and she can tell her petty thoughts with a single word.

He said again: "Let's forget about this matter, and I'll make up for Miss Lin when I have a chance in the future."

Wang Xifeng nodded first, and accepted the step reluctantly.

But he calmed down, but he was still very angry.

She gave such a rare thing, not to mention the favor, and let herself lose face.

With Wang Xifeng's temperament, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he becomes.

"Ping'er, what do you think I'll post to Daiyu to save face?"

"Oh! My grandma!"

As soon as Ping'er heard it, he knew that this matter hadn't passed yet.

She sighed and said:

"Since the top-quality bird's nest given by Uncle Feng is better than that given by Concubine Nan'an, it can be seen that he has a wide network."

"Grandma still has to compete with him?"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he also found it difficult, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"At least we can't lose face this time. The top-quality bird's nest has been built, so there must be some movement!"

When it came to movement, her eyes lit up and she said:
"Why don't you give Miss Lin the chime bell in eldest sister's room? That will definitely save us face!"

Hearing this, Ping'er suppressed a smile, looked at Wang Xifeng and said:
"My grandma, that's what you said! I'll send it right away!"

"Wait~!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wang Xifeng hurriedly called her.

"Giggle!"

Naturally, Ping'er would not really go there, covered his mouth and laughed a few times, and said:
"Let's not mention the golden bell in the eldest sister's house, which is a big part of grandma's dowry!"

"Just because it's worth at least a thousand or eight hundred silver, grandma might not want to part with it!"

Wang Xifeng gave her a blank look when she heard the words, and said with a cold snort:
"Hmph! You can get me here!"

After finishing speaking, she sat back on the kang, and asked Ping'er impatiently:

"Then tell me, how should I deal with it?"

After speaking, he seemed a little uncomfortable, shook his head, and then said:
"Anyway, I can't lose face in front of Feng Yuan."

Seeing this, Ping'er was not in a hurry to come up with any ideas, but stepped forward to press her acupuncture points.

While giving her a scalp treatment, he said with distressed words:
"It's enough for grandma to worry about the affairs of the house on weekdays. If she has to worry about such things, when will she be able to stop?"

Wang Xifeng closed her eyes comfortably, and responded with a relaxed whole body:

"If your master can make me feel more at ease, this matter in the mansion is nothing."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but want to shake my head, but was controlled by Ping'er.

Just said: "It's a pity!"

After a pause, he sighed again: "Oh! Don't say anything!"

Jia Lian, who gave Wang Xifeng a headache, posted a message to Feng Yibo the next day.

However, Feng Yibo was not at home.

To be precise, the masters of Feng's residence were not at home.

Lin Ruhai went back to Lantai Temple to report, and Feng Yibo also went back to the Ministry of Rites to sell the holidays.

Although the immediate boss is Li Shouzhong.

But they have already returned to the capital, and it will not be good to delay any longer.

In the evening when Feng Yibo came back from get off work, the concierge handed him two posts.

The first one belongs to Jia Yucun.

He bought a house on Xinglong Street, and asked his servants to send a post here.

This is to tell him the address first, so that he can move around later.

The other is of course Jia Lian's.

Feng Yibo understood that he was in a hurry to make money.

The next day, I was in the Ministry again, and I fished for a day.

Even when he leaves the ministry, he does not return home.

Instead, he went directly to Xiaohuazhi Lane, two miles away, behind Ningrong Street.

This is the house that Jia Lian bought for Guerlain.

There are more than twenty houses in the whole yard.

Although it is not as good as Feng's house, it is also known that it has paid for it.

Jia Lian also bought a few maids for Guerlain to use first.

He didn't dare to move the family members in the house, for fear of leaking the news.

The rest will be added later.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Jia Lian's confidant Xing'er came to pick him up and led Feng Yibo into the mansion.
Just outside the main house, Jia Lian greeted him.

"I've seen Second Brother Lian!"

Feng Yibo saluted with a smile, Jia Lian came to help him with a happy face, and said:
"We brothers don't need to engage in these false tricks, hurry up! I'll wait for you!"

Feng Yibo was warmly welcomed into the room by him, and saw how many people were still inside.

He saw Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son at a glance.

The two sides met twice, so they got up and greeted without introduction.

Jia Rong was the youngest in seniority, so she stepped forward first: "I met Uncle Feng!"

Feng Yibo nodded with a smile, then saluted Jia Zhen: "I've met Brother Zhen!"

"Brother Yibo, come quickly, sit here!"

Jia Zhen pointed to her side, and made Feng Yibo the guest of honor.

Feng Yibo was not in a hurry to take his seat, because there was a handsome young man whom he didn't know.

Jia Lian introduced him: "You two are still from the same family, and this is Feng Ziying, son of General Shenwu."

Then he said to Feng Ziying: "This is my future brother-in-law Yibo."

Before Feng Yibo could speak, Feng Ziying cupped his fists first:
"I've heard about Feng Langzhong's name for a long time, and I'm lucky to meet you today!"

When Feng Yibo heard him call the official name, he quickly returned the courtesy and said:

"Don't dare, since we are from the same family, it's good to call each other by name."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two took their seats.

At this time, the servants put the food and wine on the table, and Jia Lian, the master, raised his glass first.

"All of you here are real relatives, so let's not talk about lies. Today we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"

"Drink wins!" Everyone toasted and drank.

After eating a few more mouthfuls, Feng Ziying smiled and said to Feng Yibo:

"Speaking of which, when Brother Yibo won Tanhua, my father mentioned it once."

"I said that when I was in the frontier, I met my father, but I didn't expect to see my old man on the gold list."

"Oh? There is such a chance?"

Feng Yibo smiled when he heard the words, but didn't take it seriously.

His father had patrolled the border for many years, and it is not unusual to know Feng Tang, Feng Ziying's father.

But at most it is acquaintance.

Feng Ziying's family was honorable, and Feng Tang once served as a military envoy in the border area.

That is to say, in the past two years, he returned to the capital to be raised, and received the false title of General Shenwu.

And Feng Yibo's father was not of high grade, so even if he knew him, he wouldn't have any friendship.

Obviously Feng Yibo didn't take it seriously, but Feng Ziying continued along:
"Both are from Jinling, but they're not in the same county. They were almost connected to the sect at that time."

This is almost implying that the two can join hands.

If Feng Yibo is interested, it will be considered a success.

But obviously, Feng Yibo didn't mean that.

He mainly relied on himself along the way, not on any family background.

Even if the joint sect, the benefits to him are very limited.

Seeing Feng Yibo smiled, he didn't answer.

Feng Ziying understood what the other party meant.

He was not annoyed, and said to himself:
"My father also told me to walk around with Brother Yibo, so we don't have to fight cockfights all day long."

"I didn't expect to meet Lian's second brother today. It's fate."

Feng Yibo didn't say anything when he heard the bad words, and said pleasantly:

"We all have a real relationship with Brother Lian, so we need to move around more in the future."

At this time, Jia Zhen seemed to be a little impatient, and interrupted the greetings between the two, saying:
"Brother Yibo, there are no outsiders present."

"The second child said that you want to do some business together and earn some pocket money. Why don't you tell me first, what kind of business is it?"

As today's guest of honor, Feng Yibo naturally knew what it meant.

Jia Zhen's directness made Jia Lian a little embarrassed.

He drank a glass of wine as a cover.

Feng Yibo didn't answer directly, but looked at Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lian's second brother and everyone have talked about it?"

Originally, Feng Yibo had an idea.

Just seeing Jia Zhen and his son, suddenly came up with outrageous ideas.

That is to take this opportunity to do something dangerous.

Blow up this father and son.

Of course, it's not a physical explosion.

Instead, they played a financial explosion and let them go bankrupt.

He didn't answer directly now, but he was still hesitating.

"That's right, Yibo said earlier that he would let me find some brothers and make a fortune together."

Jia Lian heard Feng Yibo's words before, and it seemed that there should be more people.

But he was not sure what the deal was, so he only invited these few people.

"The ones here today are the ones I trust the most!"

Jia Zhen said at this time: "Brother Yibo has a way to make money, so why not talk about it first, whether we are a partner or not, we can also check it out for you, right?"

That's what it sounds like.

No matter how it sounds, it doesn't taste right.

But Feng Yibo smiled, and said in a very face-saving way:
"Since Big Brother Zhen asked, I'll just say it straight."

He hesitated for a while, and finally he gave up the idea of ​​cheating.

One is that he and Jia Zhen and his son don't have that much enmity.

At least not yet.

Even if he rescues Qin Keqing in the future, there is a high probability that the other party will not find anything.

Second, I don't want to cheat Jia Lian.

During his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, he had a good impression of Jia Lian.

Of course, the most important thing.

I also don't want to implicate too many innocent people.

In financial affairs, it is easy to make mistakes.

In case of improper operation, he may fold in himself.

"At that time, I also saw that Lian's second brother was short of money, so I thought it's better to call a few brothers, and let's work together, so we can earn some pocket money."

Now that you don't cheat people, you still follow the original idea.

"In fact, I just have a general direction now, that is, I will contribute some capital, mainly the second brother Lian, and the rest of the brothers will also help some people. If you participate, you can share dividends and earn pocket money."

Having said this, Feng Yibo got to the point, saying:

"This business has three main directions for everyone to choose from."
