King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 144
Jia Baoyu spent the whole night in panic, shouting wildly from time to time in a coma, making Xiren Qingwen, who took care of him, restless.

As the morning approached, Jia Baoyu gradually calmed down, but the situation became more serious because he already had a high fever.

So all the girls had to report to Mrs. Wang again, and called the little servant to go out and ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Facing the wrath of the emperor, not to mention a big boy like Jia Baoyu, even a cabinet minister who has been in the ups and downs of his career for decades, is equally frightened and anxious.

Everyone in the Baoyu Courtyard kept busy, while Jia Zheng and his wife at the other end were looking sad and lost in thought.

After the argument last night, even though Jia's mother tried her best to defend them, they could not keep their housekeeping power. Now Jia She is in charge of all matters in Jia's mansion.

After some deliberation, both Jia Zheng brothers will come forward to plead guilty, and first make a proper gesture of admitting their mistakes.

At this time, Jia Zheng was sitting behind the desk, drawing a pen and thinking deeply about how to write the memorial.

"Baoyu has a high fever, what should I do?"

Mrs. Wang hurried into the study, interrupting Jia Zheng's thinking.

"Just ask a good doctor for diagnosis and treatment!" Jia Zheng said angrily.

His anger came from Mrs. Wang, not Jia Baoyu.

"Master, don't you want to see?"

Jia Zheng replied: "Before noon, the petition must be handed in, and it has not yet been finalized!"

Mrs. Wang asked with a cold face: "Is the son less important than a memorandum?"

Slapping the pen on the table, Jia Zheng got up angrily: "If the Holy Majesty is angry, let alone Baoyu, our family will not be able to keep it!"

He didn't understand why his wife couldn't see through such an obvious truth.

It was logically unreasonable, but the housekeeper was lost again. Mrs. Wang was annoyed for a while, so she ran out of the study wiping her tears.

Looking at the back of his old wife leaving, Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing, and then sat back down again.

Besides, after Mrs. Wang left, she led people to Baoyu's residence. At this moment, the doctor is already treating her.

Mrs. Wang hadn't asked any questions yet, but Mrs. Xing rushed over with someone.

"Ma'am, the eldest lady is here!"

After hearing the report, Mrs. Wang turned around, only to see Mrs. Xing had already entered the room.

"Sister, what's the matter? It's so easy to settle down. Why did these incidents happen again?"

In the past, Mrs. Xing would never be so arrogant, let alone talk about Baoyu in front of Mrs. Wang.

Now, the situation has really changed... This is the voice of the maids present.

When the family is in turmoil, it stands to reason that there should be no disputes and internal conflicts, and it is the right thing to help each other.

But I also have to say that it is a good time to ask the teacher to inquire about the crime, so that Mrs. Wang's face can be reduced to the greatest extent, and at the same time, everyone in the mansion can see clearly that the Rongguo mansion has changed.

In the final analysis, Mrs. Xing's structure is not enough, she just did what she should do within the scope of cognition.

Walking in front of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing sighed and said, "Sister, you also know that there are many troubles at home now, and troubles continue one after another. Don't blame me for speaking up!"

"Since my ancestor let me be the housekeeper, I can no longer be the same as before, and some rules have to be adopted!"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, her tone was impatient.

Even if he no longer cares about the family, he is still the daughter of the dignified royal family, so he still looks down on Mrs. Xing, the stepmother who came from a small family.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's haughty appearance, Mrs. Xing was furious. She had suffered this kind of anger for many years.

"This first one, the girls in Baoyu's room, have to be replaced. It's all these people's hands and feet that broke Baoyu!"

Mrs. Xing's move was so ruthless that she removed all the people from Baoyu's room, so it would be good to replace her with someone to serve her?
But her words made Xi Ren and the others panic, fearing that they would be kicked out of the inner house, which would be like falling from the clouds to the mortal world.

"No!" Mrs. Wang stared at Mrs. Xing coldly.

"Sister, I'm also doing it for Baoyu's sake. Look at this good man, what has he been instigated by them?"

"A few days ago, there was a censor who impeached our family, saying that the family style was not good...you will not forget it"...

With the power of the housekeeper in hand, Mrs. Xing has a lot of confidence, so she confronts Mrs. Wang directly at this moment.

"you……"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was furious, Mrs. Xing couldn't mention how happy she was, so she said with a smile: "If my sister thinks that my arrangement is not appropriate, you can go and tell the old ancestor to take away my right to be a housekeeper!"

Now that the power of stewardship has been handed over, it is impossible to take it back casually, after all, Mother Jia still has face.

"Secondly, the sisters have their own rules for monthly money, and there should be such a rule in Baoyu's room. In the past, it's fine to pay more money, but in the future, you have to get it according to the amount!"

Mrs. Xing was very generous, but what she said did not anger Mrs. Wang to death.

"Have you finished talking? Hurry up and get out!" Mrs. Wang snapped, disregarding face at the moment.

The two sisters-in-law had a dispute, which soon alerted Jia's mother to come to check, but in the end both of them were reprimanded.

Of course, Mother Jia agreed to all of Madam Xing's requests.

It's just that when the maid was replaced, Baoyu, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up, and wanted to keep Xiren and others behind.

After Baoyu cried and quarreled, Jia's mother was overwhelmed with pampering, Xiren Qingwen and others were all left behind.

This process allowed Mrs. Wang to confirm that she had not fallen out of favor in Jia Mu's heart, which would be an important reliance for her to regain the housekeeping power.

Under Jiamu's suppression, a storm passed like this.

Through this farce, the maids and women of Rongguo Mansion really realized that the palace has changed, and they will have to go to Dongkuayuan more in the future.

Mrs. Xing achieved her goal, but she was still upset, and when she returned to the courtyard, she ordered the housekeepers and daughters-in-law to come over and give a lecture.

Everyone came, but Wang Xifeng, who was actually in charge of housekeeping affairs, was ignored by Mrs. Xing.

"Second Grandma, over there at Dongkua Courtyard...do you want to go?" Inside the courtyard, Ping'er was worried.

Wang Xifeng shook her head: "Since the eldest lady didn't invite me, I'm going to ask for trouble!"

"But if you don't go, if the eldest wife asks, I'm afraid grandma will end up in trouble again!"

Wang Xifeng's face was gloomy: "Sooner or later there will be trouble, I would rather she come sooner!"

Of course, she is not afraid of this at all, because she has relied on the housekeeper for many years.

It is not easy to sort out the people in each house in the mansion, as well as the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are in charge of affairs everywhere, that small gang without itself.

From Wang Xifeng's point of view, Mrs. Yi Xing's ability must be enough, and the family will be in a mess by then, so she will have to take care of it.

Of course, the reason why Wang Xifeng didn't go to Dongkuayuan was because she didn't want to offend Mrs. Wang.

From Wang Xifeng's point of view, the four major families are now gaining momentum, and Mrs. Wang will have a chance to take power sooner or later.

"Second Master Lian is back!"

Seeing Jia Lian coming back from the outside, Wang Xifeng got up and went out to greet her: "You are back, the whole family is in trouble!"

"What about Master Jing?"

Even though Jia Jing has entered Buddhism, and such a big thing happened in the Jia family, he must still be told.

Jia Lian replied: "Oh...Master Jing said that this matter should be done with caution. It's not enough to ask for a crime. Let the master resign and plead guilty!"

"What? Resign? What does the master say?" Wang Xifeng was extremely shocked.

After receiving the tea from Ping'er, Jia Lian sat on the chair and said slowly, "Master Jing said it all, and Father said the same thing, Brother Zhen has no objection, what else can Master do!"

At this moment, Wang Xifeng's thoughts changed.

If Jia Zheng resigns, it is not impossible for their lineage to completely decline.

At this moment, the eldest wife is discussing matters over there, do you want to go over to cheer?
