Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 72
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng couldn't sit still in the house anymore, so she changed into her clothes and took Ping'er with her before going out.

Jia Lian also didn't go out, but enjoyed the last leisure time at home, but she was still a little uneasy.

Second Master Lian was also very clear about the Jia family's affairs, but there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, Mr. Zheng really had no selfish intentions.

The Wang family, or even the historian, who can be trusted, will be an idle general with no property in the future, with no title.

Jia Lian thought a lot, but he couldn't escape the circle of clan ethics at all, and his father was also forced to guard such a small courtyard tightly for his whole life.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng wanted to go out in new clothes, Jia Lian asked casually, looking so happy;
"Where are you going? You are so fancy."

Wang Xifeng was in a hurry to meet people, so she couldn't care less about Jia Lian, so she casually said that her brother and sister were here, and she wanted to see them, and then she was in a hurry to leave.

As soon as Jia Lian heard that the eldest brother in-law was here, he went to see him, otherwise he would appear to be ignorant of etiquette, so he got up and followed Wang Xifeng and walked towards Rongxi Hall. happy.

In Rongxi hall, Jia Mu also arranged for the amber parrot to prepare refreshments in advance. Outside the house, Yuanyang had already led the eldest lady Wang Shuyi and Wang Ren into the yard.

This courtyard is even more beautiful and wonderful. There are many rockery and flowing water, nine winding corridors, pavilions, red bricks and yellow tiles, and it is even more magnificent, luxurious, and extravagant. .

After entering the courtyard, Wang Shuyi asked the guards to rest here, then secretly retreated a few steps and walked side by side with Wang Ren,

"Brother, what do you think of coming here?"

Wang Shuyi asked in a low voice.

After Wang Ren heard this, he blinked at Wang Shuyi, the meaning was obvious, how can this be said here?Wang Shuyi nodded slightly.

"As expected of the Duke's Mansion, it is magnificent, majestic and solemn. It is worthy of being a noble family."

Wang Ren looked at Wang Shuyi tilting her head and looking at herself, and her lips curled up. She didn't know how to despise the official language she said, but there was no way to talk nonsense here, so she could only whisper to avoid the maid in front of her;
"It still can't hide the decay and decay inside, it's not as good as before."

"Why?"

"A long time ago, I came to Jia's mansion with my uncle. At that time, the old man was still there, and the servants paid more attention to reality, self-confident and introverted. Now, on the contrary, they are manic and exaggerated. Even a maid is wearing the clothes of a young lady. How can this be a servant?" , there is no distinction between superior and inferior, there must be disasters."

Wang Ren was also emotional, especially last time he didn't even go in the front door, no, it was a side door, what a shame.

"Understood, I thought that the servants of the Duke's Mansion have always been treated this way. This is how big a family can be like this. It seems to be a human problem."

Wang Ren gave a wry smile and said helplessly;
"The key point is that my good sister is the housekeeper. Before that, it was our aunt's housekeeper. Who do you think is the problem with this person?"

Wang Shuyi's eyes widened when she heard this, it can't be, why is she so used to it.

"It's true. Last time I didn't even go in the side door of the Duke's mansion. I was stopped by the gatekeeper. The Jia family is a real noble. You should understand what uncle means."

Naturally, Wang Shuyi knew what the elder brother's words were referring to, and they couldn't escape the word power. I really didn't expect that the Duke's Mansion was like this, or did her father want him to be like this, or was it really like this all the time?
"Miss, we're here, the old lady is waiting inside."

Yuanyang, who was leading the way, turned her head and said respectfully to Wang Shuyi, who was following far behind.

"Okay, brother, let's go in together."

"it is good."

The two walked directly into the lobby, and saw an amiable rich old lady wearing bright and gorgeous brocade clothes sitting on the kang, with silver hair all over her head, wearing a longan-sized emerald nobile, and the aura of wealth and nobility rushed towards her face.

The spirits of the two were shaken. This is the old lady of the Jia family.

When Jia's mother saw the eldest lady of her in-laws coming, she smiled even more.

"Hey, she looks so beautiful, she really is the daughter of the Wang family, but it's different, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future."

"The old lady is too famous. Shuyi has met the old lady. This is the old mountain ginseng that my father asked me to bring to you, for your health."

Wang Shuyi handed over the box she had brought while she was talking, and Yuanyang quickly took it over, and brought the box to Mother Jia. When she opened the box, she saw a very well-preserved old ginseng with complete roots, which seemed to be quite old. , Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm worrying my in-laws, but I still remember my old lady, come on, sit down."

Wang Shuyi and Wang Ren just sat down in the hall by the way. Wang Ren was self-aware and didn't open his mouth. It was Wang Shuyi who spoke.
"What did the old matriarch say? My father mentioned you for a long time, saying that the old matriarch in Jia's house is the one who is doing Dinghaishenzhen. You have been busy and have no time to come over. Why don't you let me take a look for him?"

Mother Jia was very relieved to hear that, the Wang family is still very upright, after all, two daughters of the royal family have married in, both of them are their own.

It seems that Wang Ziteng's attitude towards the Jia family has not changed, so he can rest assured, thinking about it will make him more amiable.

"Hurry up, Yuanyang, check to see if the tea is cold, and change it when it is cold, girl, try this pastry, it was brought from the palace, but the Ouchi imperial chef is a must."

"Then I will be lucky, thank you, Mrs. Madam."

Wang Shuyi took a pale pink pastry, and before it reached her mouth, she could smell the aroma. After taking a bite, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was indeed from the palace. I had eaten this snowflake cake myself, and it was my father who was bestowed by the Holy Spirit. , take home to eat.

I didn't expect such a rare thing to be so common in the Jia family. Seeing that there are several plates on the table, the Jia family is not as simple as it looks. It might be wrong right now.

After Wang Shuyi arrived, she kept talking to Jia's mother, and never noticed Sanchun who was sitting opposite, but Sanchun was looking at her curiously, and she was quite handsome.

Seeing Miss Wang's family looking up at Sanchun, Jia's mother let out an "Ouch" and rubbed her forehead.
"Look, look, my old lady forgets about her daughter-in-law when she sees her daughter-in-law. Come on, the girl from the Wang family will introduce you. This is the young lady of the Jia family. Welcome Spring, Tanchun, Cherish Spring."

Wang Shuyi also stood up generously, bowed her lower body, and saluted;

"Meet you sisters."

Sanchun didn't dare to trust her, so she quickly got up and returned the salute.

"Meet the Wang family sister."

"Okay, okay, sit down and sit down."

Mother Jia saw that both parties had met Li, so they knew each other.

"By the way, why hasn't this Feng girl and the second child's family come yet? Yuanyang should stop urging her."

"Yes."

The mandarin duck was about to go out, but Wang Xifeng's voice came from a long way away;
"No need to go, isn't this here? Oh, my good sister from the Wang family is here, and she didn't notify me."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Wang Xifeng's fiery voice is still so magical.

After hearing this, Wang Ren didn't feel the same way as before. He suddenly felt that his sister was very strange. She was still the same person but she couldn't go back.

Following the sound of the door opening, only a beautiful woman in a bright red shirt came in, not Wang Xifeng, who else was red like fire, overflowing with enthusiasm.

Wang Shuyi was also surprised. I haven't seen her for so many years. How could this elder sister become more pungent? Then came in behind him a man who was so thin that he could be regarded as handsome, but he didn't feel very good. He probably was his brother-in-law, Jia Lian.

When Wang Xifeng came in, she not only saw Wang Shuyi's sister, but also saw her brother Wang Ren sitting silently at the end drinking tea.

"Yeah, my brother is here too, and I didn't tell my sister in advance."

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Wang Ren couldn't help but put down his glass, got up and saluted;
"I've seen my sister, my brother-in-law. Caomin came last time, but he didn't even come in through the side door of your mansion. Why did he notify in advance that if he didn't follow Sister Shuyi this time, he might not be able to come in."

Wang Ren's words went straight to him, and the whole Rongxi hall was silent for a moment, and Sanchun's originally joking face was also full of surprise, that there was such a thing.

Wang Shuyi turned her head to look at her clan brother, but she still couldn't help it, so why don't you go straight to her sister.

Wang Xifeng lost his temper in an instant, and Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this. Where did he start, and when even his in-laws would stop him? I don't know, but seeing Wang Xifeng's reaction, yes, really, he didn't run away. up.
