Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 342 Jia Mu is worried
Dongkuayuan,
inside the main house,
The verbal humiliation made Ping'er, who was originally shy, blush and feel a little embarrassed.

When Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er crying, she felt happy and beat her up.

What he said just now was deliberately said by Wang Xifeng because he was suspicious. He didn't understand why. After listening to Ping'er's words, he knew Jia Lian's true intention. It was rare that he actually cared about his own reputation.

In the past, those ruined Liu Yao sisters, no matter what they were, would not refuse anyone who came. Although Wang Xifeng realized that she had been deceived by Jia Lian at this time, she did not really want to smear Jia Lian's reputation. After all, it is no different now than before. , I still have to count on Jia Lian's identity.

Once this man pays attention to his reputation, he will behave himself. As for those rumored prostitutes, he is not left to his own devices. It all depends on his own face.

So he said to Ping'er;

"Okay, you little hooves, you can't speak for him like this. Since you're like this, as soon as he comes back tomorrow, I'll make the decision and give you to him, okay?"

Wang Xifeng just laughed, but Ping'er's face turned red with embarrassment again, and she just cursed;

"Bah, it's a shame that I'm still a grandma. I can say such things without letting outsiders laugh."

"I'm afraid you are eager to do so"

Wang Xifeng wanted to say something else, so Ping'er made a move to leave Wang Xifeng, which made Wang Xifeng laugh and hold Ping'er's hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about you anymore. Let's stop this matter. Let's get ready and go out to find the second master to see what's going on. He's still angry. He didn't come back to the house all night. There's also Zhuangzi sent down below. First pick out the best of the game and send it to the old lady. You can measure the rest yourself and distribute it to various places. Pay attention to the second lady."

Ping'er nodded understandingly. Although each family can share the better things in the house, there are still better ones among the good ones. Ping'er would personally check it every time and divide the things before sending them out. Each family in the backyard naturally knows how much and what to give to which family.

The two of them got up and put on a hooded cloak to cover their proud figures. Then they walked out of the house and into the courtyard. They saw that the guards were already prepared, and Lai Wang was full of flattery. color,
"Second Grandma, everyone is ready, and we've found out where Second Master will eat. It's right at the intersection of the street, in the old wine shop."

How dare Laiwang show any disrespect now? Nowadays, the most prestigious person in Rongguo Mansion, apart from the old lady, is the second grandmother. Everyone in the Jia family is working for her. I heard that the caravan was there last time. , they actually asked for hundreds of people at one time, all of them young and strong laborers from other houses of the Jia family. It seemed that they were preparing to go into business, but there was no movement from the caravan at the house. It was strange.

Wang Xifeng didn't even look at them and waved her hand.

"Lead the way, hurry up,"

"Yes, Second Grandma, slow down and go this way."

Lai Wang led the way, and the group of people exited the east cross courtyard and walked out of the side door and walked into the alley. From time to time, members of the Jia family saluted, and Wang Xifeng also waved his hands to indicate that he understood.

The guards around him bent their waists even more when they saw him.

Very close, there was a small wine shop on Ningrong Street. Wang Xifeng didn't understand. He didn't go to the Zuixian Tower in front of him. He came here. When he thought that Jia Lian had given away all his money, he also pursed his lips and smiled. He had no money.

Seeing those lowly people coming in and out of the wine shop, he couldn't help but frown. When Lai Wang saw the second mistress like this, he felt disgusted and immediately greeted her;
"What are you waiting for? Go over and let Second Grandma block her. Don't rush into Second Grandma. Hurry up."

After saying that, the guards and the boy behind him immediately walked in with dignity, and then guarded the door, and immediately chased away those who were not discerning. Not to mention how powerful it was to look like that. After clearing the people, Wang Xifeng's face turned pale. It looked good so I walked in.

The drama at the door naturally attracted the attention of the people in the wine shop, but seeing the many servants and guards, knowing that it was a wealthy family that was not easy to mess with, they naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, but they saw two women, and She was so beautiful, but she was watching secretly, and when Laiwang saw it, she yelled angrily;

"What are you looking at? I've blinded you dogs. Do you know who it is? If you want to die, just raise your head."

The people inside were so frightened that they immediately lowered their heads, and there was silence in the hall. Even the shopkeeper was waiting respectfully;

"Meet the second grandma."

Seeing Wang Xifeng's power, Wang Xifeng ignored him and walked straight to the innermost table, sat down, and looked at Jia Lian, who was wearing a warrior uniform, and looked very impressive.

I couldn't help but feel excited, and lost the anger I had when I first came. I sat there and watched Jia Lian eating meat and drinking wine. Jia Lian drank a cup of wine, pinched the fennel and put it into his mouth, and then asked;

"Why are you here? What can I do for you? It's strange that you come here personally."

Wang Xifeng was confused for a moment, why did she feel different?

"I just came to see the second master. Why is the food in his house not to his taste and he still can't eat it well? He actually came here to drink alone. I'm afraid he has an appointment with his sweetheart."

After saying that, Wang Xifeng looked around, and Jia Lian poured another glass of wine. Looking at Wang Xifeng who was still the same, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"With you like this, who dares to come to me? Now no one in the house knows the majesty of your second grandma. I can only stay away from the limelight for a while. Can't I afford to hide if I can't offend her?"

Jia Lian took the wine and sipped it slowly. Naturally, he had no good words to say. Now he spent more money in the military camp.

But there wasn’t much money left on him or in the house, and what he had was just taken from Wang Xifeng, really.

Thinking of Jia Zhen's extravagant spending, I could only feel envious.

"You, huh, isn't that what you need? It's not like I didn't give it to you. As long as you do business, you'll have plenty of money, but if you want to find those flirtatious women, you won't be able to do it. Besides, I'm afraid that those women will lose their temper. , hurt your body."

Wang Xifeng wanted to get angry, but when she thought about being outside, she must not be able to. Ping'er also advised;
"Second Master, it's not good to eat out here. You should go out less often in the future, otherwise Second Mistress will worry about you. At home, if you want to eat anything, just tell Heping'er, and I will cook it for Second Master no matter what."

Jia Lian also has no strength now. Since he went to the military camp, his body has not recovered. After the big competition, he can be lazy. After the military camp is lighted, he does not stay in the military camp. Naturally, he drinks and eats meat, and spends time with other lieutenants. Visiting a brothel, but you can't last long without money.I have to count on her to come in the future. I heard that the caravan is also prosperous, purchasing supplies from various places. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of money coming in, so I have to give in. Jia Lian thought of this and nodded;

"I know, I got up late today, so I naturally went out to eat something when I couldn't be at Laofeng's house. There's so much left, so I'll go back after eating."

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian's submission, she was naturally satisfied and did not stay here. She looked at the environment in the room with disgust, stood up and straightened her back and said;
"Okay, second master, go back early after eating, and I won't bother you anymore. Ping'er, let's go."

"Yes, Second Grandma."

The group of people walked straight out of the wine shop. After everyone left, the hall dared to become noisy. They all looked at the table carefully.

Some more wine was ordered on the table, a few plates of side dishes were served, and one person started drinking again.

Dressed luxuriously and eating in the market, there were many strange looks. Jia Lian didn't care about this now. After he was full of wine and food, he threw the money on the table.

"Waiter, pay, let's go."

"Second Master, please go slowly. Second Master gave me some money."

Jia Lian stood up, shook his body and walked outside. He was still thinking about how to get the money. The voice behind him sounded impatient.

"Thank you, keep it for next time!"

When I thought about the extra money, I felt a little heartbroken. I wanted to take it back, but it wasn't embarrassing enough. I rewarded him generously, so I said I would come back next time. Although I didn't know when I would come, I left a hole to wait. It's fine to wear it.

"Yes, Second Master, I will keep the account for you."

The waiter took the silver back to the shopkeeper and handed it over. The shopkeeper took it and recorded a sum of money in the account book.

I just returned to the house and wanted to take a nap, but I didn't know that there was a noise outside.

Then I heard a boy shouting in front of the door;
"Master Zheng, the old lady asked you to come over."

Then there was a burst of noise, but Jia Lian didn't pay attention and fell asleep with his eyes squinted.

Outside, Jia Zheng saw the eager look in the boy's eyes and knew that his mother was in a hurry, so he agreed to go over. Before he could pass through the gate of Rongqing Hall, Aunt Zhao blocked his way and cried out;

"Master, you said you wanted to find a separate courtyard for Huan'er, but you haven't arranged it yet. How can you study well?"

Jia Zheng scolded him,
"What time has it been? You are still struggling here. Mother has something to do. Why don't you go find the second wife?"

How could Aunt Zhao be willing to let Jia Zheng go?

"My wife said that Huan'er was too young to be given to me, so she just wanted to learn it in a clan school, not at home. They are all the master's sons, so why can't they have their own yard?"

The grievances and cries gave Jia Zheng a headache. He felt that Mrs. Wang had selfish motives. Although there were differences between the concubine and the concubine, she was his own descendant after all. The matter of a small courtyard had all the servants, but he didn't want to ask, so he had to agree.

"I know. I'll arrange one when I get back. Get out of the way first."

Aunt Zhao still refused and wanted to have it immediately. Jia Zheng's face was stern. Aunt Zhao had no choice but to leave, crying and swaying, which made Jia Zheng behind her feel a little itchy. After all, it was her favorite.

And in Rongqing Hall,
Mother Jia entertained her grandson every day, and her days were very leisurely. She did not hear about the conflict between people from the two houses and Marquis Luo Yun. Naturally, other nobles would not have conflicts with the Jia family, so they were in a good mood every day. With Baoyu and Sanchun by his side, it was extremely lively, no worse than during the Chinese New Year, but with fewer rules and more warmth.

But myself, in the past few days, there was always a lingering haze in Jia Mu's heart. A letter came from Yangzhou saying that her little daughter Jia Min was sick and had not recovered from her illness in bed. God was naturally concerned, but in the capital It is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and it would take several days and nights to get there even by speedboat. Naturally, I feel heartbroken when I miss him.

Jia's mother was unhappy, and everyone in the house treated her with caution and fear, fearing that she would not be well served.

Jia Zheng naturally knew about this and was worried about his mother's health, so he walked in. At this time, many people came into the room. Not only the master but also the maids were all holding their breath and did not dare to breathe.

"Mother,"

Jia Zheng just greeted him and saw the unhappy look on the old lady's face. Jia Zheng stood aside consciously. The boss Jia She didn't know why and sat calmly. The servants brought a chair over and Jia Zheng also sat down without saying a word. Go down.

Jia's mother saw that everyone had arrived, glanced at the house of the head of the family and his wife, and said;

"I suddenly felt heartache these past few days, and I don't know why. I always felt that Min'er had no explanation since the letter, and I couldn't rest assured. So I thought, let's go to Jiangnan to see if something happened. What's the matter, is Min'er okay?"

After the old lady finished speaking, there was silence. No one in the room had expected this. The second lady looked even more unhappy, but she didn't have the guts to talk nonsense. Only Wang Xifeng hurriedly came in and said;

"The relationship is so good, I want to go there."
