Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 246: Estrangement grows
When he opened his eyes, a pair of eyebrows and eyes looked at him. The heater inside was getting hot, so she half-covered her brocade quilt, revealing her fair lotus-rooted arms, and she was only wearing an albizia red bellyband.

At a glance, Li Weijian could feel a poem crossing his mind: It's like describing a slim figure, shy of rain and shy of love. What a charming move.

But seeing Qingwen looking at him aggrievedly, Li Weijian said: "Why are you awake so early?"

Qingwen shook her head, letting the messy bun cover her face, and quietly pressed it against his chest, saying: "I just had a nightmare, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried."

Li Weijian reached out and rubbed his back, and asked softly: "What are you dreaming about?"

Qingwen said in a muffled voice: "It's vague. I just dreamed that I felt sick, but no one paid attention to me. I shouted at the top of my lungs all night and no one came."

Li Weijian was deeply moved. In the original play, wasn't it the case that Qingwen cried out so sadly that she died of illness?

He felt more and more sorry for Qingwen in his heart, so he hugged her tightly and comforted her with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you still care about her. I wonder if dreams are interpreted backwards?"

Qingwen raised her face, came over and pecked Li Weijian on the cheek, and said: "Well, that's what I thought when I woke up." After a pause, she boldly said: "Fourth Master——"

"Ok?"

After the two of them returned to the main courtyard, Li Weijian had washed up and Hongyu brought breakfast to him. Now the mistress has not entered the house, and the Li family has few rules. If there are no outsiders, it is Li Weijian and concubine Ji who sit together to have breakfast.

Qingwen was so embarrassed that she hid aside and said angrily: "I just talked to Fourth Master and didn't do anything.

Just after eating half a bowl of pumpkin porridge, Fu Qiufang said: "Earlier, I was worried about how to expand the mansion. The master made me a second-class uncle. Now this mansion is not worthy of it. There is no way to expand it. It is everywhere. It's hard to force someone to sell their house if they have a good reputation.

At that moment, Qingwen and Xiangling helped him put on short clothes, and Li Weijian went to the side garden to fight with Xiuying. Perhaps because he is getting older, Li Weijian's strength has greatly increased now. It is said that one force can defeat ten groups. No matter how Xiu Ying moves around in a flash, her body is like a swallow, she can only parry and dodge, and she can no longer hurt Li Weijian.

Wang Xifeng then thought about it and realized what the eldest lady had planned. Earlier, the Chief of Shenxing surrounded the Ningguo Mansion, and no one was allowed in. When Jia Zhen was found guilty, although the order did not mention copying, how could the Chief of Shenxing be an economical lamp? Even Youshi had no choice but to carry a small baggage with her, expecting that the wealth inside would be plundered by the Department of Punishment.

Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but smile and agreed: "I don't dare."

Li Weijian agreed with a smile, and after breakfast, he rushed to the Military Academy by car.

Ping'er said angrily: "Where are the second master and I? Just in time for Tiankui to arrive, the second master lost his temper and rolled up his pillow in the middle of the night and went to the outer study."

Of course, those things that are easy to take are gone, and most of the rest are difficult to take. Now that Fanzi has withdrawn and Ningguo Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Jian brothers, the eldest wife is naturally thinking of taking advantage.

Wang Xifeng said: "Don't talk too much. Sure enough, something happened. You are the only one I ask."

Qingwen was immediately ashamed and buried her head in her chest. It took a long time before she finally responded.

Li Weijian laughed loudly, threw the wooden knife to the servant, and said: "It's just to relax the muscles and bones. Hai Ping can't help but feel that his wife and children are hot on the bed at this time. I ask him to get up every day. I don't know how he curses his mother in his heart. That's all, I'm still used to you accompanying me. .”

Xiangling laughed and said, "This is strange. I haven't said anything yet, so why are you still angry?"

"

Wang Xifeng woke up with a start, but could no longer sleep peacefully. She secretly scolded herself for thinking indiscriminately and sorting out her thoughts. This morning, Sister Feng was full of energy to deal with the housework.

So he said casually: "I have nothing to do with the eldest madam. Go and talk to the madam." The maid agreed and walked away. Wang Xifeng turned around and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, I'll leave the kitchen in this garden to you. Just one thing, don't make any mistakes in the future."

Mrs. Wang is still in charge of the house now. After handling the chores in the morning, she always wanted to inform her, so Ping'er pushed Wang Xifeng to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Li Weijian stretched his body and sat up, saying: "Get up, get up, hey, I really don't have a moment to spare."

............................................................

Just at this moment, the curtain suddenly opened and Xiangling came inside. He glanced at the bed and said with a smile: "I didn't want to come, but my aunt urged me several times. Fourth master, don't forget, there are a lot of things going on today."

Rongguo Mansion.

Sister-in-law Liu immediately beamed with joy, bowed and smiled: "Hey, thank you, Second Grandma. Don't worry, Second Grandma, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to stay in the kitchen anymore."

The old lady then said: "Go back to Second Grandma, they left at noon yesterday, but the seal is still on the door."

After discussing the chores and sending the ladies away, Wang Xifeng stood up and sat down in the wheelchair. Ping'er came over and said with a smile: "I think if there is no second grandmother to control the family, sooner or later there will be chaos."

It just so happens that the saint has given the Ningguo Mansion to the master. I think if the master is free today, it would be better to find someone who can live a good life and take a look at it so that he can decide how to repair it in the future. "

After half an hour of fighting, Xiu Ying became discouraged and said, "I can't beat the Fourth Master now. Why don't I let my brother come practice with the Fourth Master someday?"

Fu Qiufang immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Shan Ziye is said to have gathered the leaders of the northern and southern gardens. It would be most appropriate to find him for planning."

Xiu Ying was immediately happy when she was ironing her clothes. She came over and took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Weijian's sweat.

But at this moment, Baoyu was in Rongqing Hall, listening to Daiyu and Baochai discussing where to stay. Baoyu felt itchy after hearing this, and thought about not being able to live in it, so he felt depressed. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Daiyu and asked, "Where do you want to live?"

I first called the ladies who were in charge of the garden and were questioning them one by one. Suddenly a maid came to report: "Second grandma is not well. The eldest lady led people to open the corner gate of the Grand View Garden. Now everyone has entered the Ningguo Mansion!"

Wang Xifeng glanced sideways and said with a smile: "You can say nice things when you get an advantage. How were you and the second master yesterday?"

Wang Xifeng suddenly frowned, feeling contemptuous of Jia She and Mrs. Xing's parents-in-law. They were really greedy and despicable. He wanted to tell the old lady about this, but he also thought that the heir was about to come and the matter was undecided, so it was hard to offend the two parents-in-law. Furthermore, Brother Jian's family is extremely rich, so he would not think much of the remaining wealth.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Sister Feng had a good night's dream, and in her dream she received an imperial decree. Returning to Jinling naturally made everyone in the Wang family envious. Walking with a good person by your side, and receiving the grace of a saint, you get what you really need. Wang Xifeng smiled and took her husband to meet her old father. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, her husband's appearance was in a daze, and suddenly he looked like brother Jian.

Li Weijian put down the spoon and thought: "Today I will test the wool washing machine. I will go to my mentor's house in the afternoon. If I have time, I will go to the Ministry of Industry. Yes, I heard that the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion was originally planned by Shan Ziye, so I will go The Ministry of Industry has done a search and is wondering if they can find this master gardener."

Since she came back after finding Aunt Zhen, Xiangling has become brighter and brighter day by day, and her temper is no longer as dull as before. Nowadays, I can read poems and books and play the Yao Qin, which makes me look more and more refined.

Qingwen's teeth were bright and white, she smiled foolishly and said, "It's okay."

Daiyu didn't want to continue, but Jia Mu was still looking at her and said, "I haven't decided yet."

Wang Xifeng burst out laughing.

"Ah?" Wang Xifeng was shocked, and immediately called a woman to ask: "Have the police officers from the Criminal Punishment Department been withdrawn outside?"

Li Weijian is not Wu Xia Ameng, so how could he not know the little girl's thoughts? So he solemnly said: "You will have a baby in a few more months. After the baby is born, how about I accept you, a little goblin?"

Then he said again: "I am asking Mr. Ge for advice. I have no choice but to offend the saint."

In fact, yesterday, while walking around the garden with Li Weijian, Daiyu fell in love with the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There was a curved railing hidden by a few poles of bamboo, making it feel more quiet than elsewhere.

Baoyu became interested and was saying, "In my opinion——"

Suddenly, the maid next to Mrs. Wang came and called: "Old lady, my name is Baoyu."

When Baoyu heard this, he felt as if he was in a state of shock. He immediately lost all interest in her and his face turned pale.

Jia Mu could only comfort him and said: "My dear, just go ahead. I'm here, and he won't dare to wrong you. He gave you a few instructions, but he didn't ask you to be naughty inside. Whatever he said, you had no choice but to agree to it." It's gone." While comforting him, he called two old ladies over and said, "Thank you for taking Baoyu with you. Don't let me bluff him."

The two nuns agreed and were about to lead Baoyu away when the eldest maid Yuanyang came over and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady——"

Yuanyang whispered a few words in a low voice, and Jia Mu was immediately angry and annoyed. She couldn't help cursing: "As expected, she comes from a small family, and she doesn't see anything cheap in her eyes. What else is left in Dongfu that is worthy of her moving? There is no need to let outsiders. What a joke! Go call her back quickly and just say what I said, the old woman really can’t afford to embarrass this person!"

Afraid of being unable to stop others from speaking, Yuanyang hurriedly left. Baoyu could not move three inches at a time, so he walked slowly towards Mrs. Wang's courtyard. When he saw Yuanyang catching up quickly, he immediately asked: "Where are you going, sister Yuanyang?"

Yuanyang then said: "Second Master Bao, are you still asking me? If you don't hurry up, I may be angry again!"

Baoyu immediately murmured, and then walked towards Mrs. Wang's courtyard. But he said that yesterday Jia Zheng took action with hatred, but failed to hit Baoyu. Instead, he hurt his old wife, and he couldn't bear it. Last night, he was coaxed by Aunt Zhao to make a fool of himself. This morning, he excused himself and sued because he was not feeling well. Fake.

Thinking of Mrs. Wang's injury, I went to visit Mrs. Wang in her courtyard after breakfast. When it came to the matter of Jintai Academy, Mrs. Wang wanted to postpone it for a few days, but Jia Zheng became stubborn and immediately sent people to look for treasures and jade. He planned to take people to Jintai Academy in the outer city in the afternoon to have a look.

Now Jia Zheng is discussing matters in Mrs. Wang's room. Jin Chuan'er, Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, Xiufeng and other maids are standing under the eaves of the corridor.

When they saw Baoyu coming, they all pursed their lips and smiled. Jin Chuan grabbed Baoyu and smiled quietly: "I just put on my mouth the fragrant rouge, are you going to eat it now?"

Caiyun pushed Jin Chuan away and said with a smile: "He is feeling uncomfortable, and you are still taunting him. If you like it now, go in quickly."

Baoyu had no choice but to go through the door. It turned out that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were both in the inner room. Aunt Zhao opened the curtain and Baoyu bowed in. I saw Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sitting opposite each other on the kang talking. There were a row of chairs on the ground. Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Jia Huan were all sitting there. When they saw him coming in, only Tanchun, Xichun and Jia Huan stood up.

When Jia Zheng looked up, he saw that Baoyu was timid but elegant in appearance; when he looked at Jia Huan, he saw that his figure was trivial and his behavior was careless. Of the two sons, the former is pretty good on the outside, but the latter is a mess both inside and outside.

Jia Zheng couldn't help but think of Jia Zhu, and he couldn't help but sigh and regret in his heart. After a long while, Jia Zheng just suppressed his anger and said: "You are playing outside every day, and you are gradually becoming lazy. I sacrificed my face to ask for permission, and will always send you to Jintai Academy. You must study hard, and if you don't keep it, Please be careful!"

Baoyu agreed to several "yes"s in succession. Mrs. Wang pulled him to sit down next to her. His sisters and brothers still sat down.

Baoyu occasionally caught wind and cold in the spring and is still taking pills. Mrs. Wang asked about this matter. Baoyu replied that he was thinking about Xiren. Jia Zheng was not happy when he heard the name "Xiren" because he was very worried about it. After a while.

Mrs. Wang was afraid of offending Jia Zheng again, so she said that it was the old lady who caused it, but how could Jia Zheng believe it? He just said: "How does the old lady know this? It must be Baoyu."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Baoyu had to stand up and reply: "When I was studying every day, I once remembered an ancient poem that said: 'The energy of flowers hits people and they know the warmth of the day.' Because this girl's surname is Hua, she casually picked up this name."

How can Jia Zheng be trusted? On Jia Zhen's birthday last year, because Qin Keqing died early, Jia Zhen was drunk and recited some crooked poems. There is a sentence in it, "The tender cold locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the aroma is the fragrance of wine." Only after Jia Zheng passed away did he realize that this sentence was originally written in Qin Keqing's room.

Because he was extremely disgusted with what Jia Zhen had done, and he also expected that Baoyu's name as "Xi Ren" must be due to her rich poetry, so he was extremely annoyed, regardless of Mrs. Wang's cover-up, and cursed: " You evil-doing beasts are still not coming out!”

Baoyu hurriedly ran out with the two nuns, secretly thinking that he had escaped disaster, stuck out his tongue at Jin Chuan, and then left in a hurry.

As soon as they arrived in front of the entrance to the hall, they saw the attacker standing there leaning against the door. When he saw Baoyu came back safely, he laughed and said a few words to him, and then they all went to Rongqing Hall.

Baoyu entered Rongqing Hall and spoke to Jia Mu, but in a blink of an eye there was no sign of Daiyu. Only sister Bao was in front of him, so he asked, "Where would you like to live?"

"Hengwuyuan."

Baoyu only nodded slightly, absent-mindedly. Just as he was about to ask Daiyu where she lived, another maid came to report: "The master turned over the almanac and said that February 22nd is a good day for the sisters to move in. In the next few days, people will be sent in to sort things out. ."

So far, Xue Baochai has lived in Hengwuyuan, Lin Daiyu has lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Yingchun has lived in Zhujinlou, Tanchun has lived in Qiu Shuangzhai, Xichun has lived in Liaofengxuan, and Li Wan has lived in Daoxiang Village, leaving only Yiyi. The Red Courtyard is vacant.

Baoyu felt sad in her heart, thinking how happy she would be if she lived in Yihongyuan.

He said casually: "What a pity Yihongyuan."

But Jia Mu smiled and said: "What's the pity? Her second uncle in Xiangyun sent the inspector away, and her second aunt was worried, so she decided to take up the post together if she wanted to. I don't think Xiangyun will send her to the garden in a while. I think he happens to live in Yihongyuan."

Baoyu suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was happy that Xiangyun also came to the house, but he was worried that everyone could go in, but he couldn't.

Soon it was approaching noon. After lunch, Jia Zheng sent someone to urge Baoyu again. Baoyu had no choice but to take the boy with him and follow Jia Zheng to Jintai Academy in the outer city.

............................................................

But he said that Li Weijian returned home before Shen Shi arrived that day. Fu Qiufang and others were surprised. After welcoming him into the main room, Fu Qiufang said, "Didn't the master say that he was going to his hometown in the pavilion today?"

"I've been there," Li Weijian said playfully, "My teacher just said it's okay."

Hearing this, Fu Qiufang felt relieved and said: "Mr. Ge is more knowledgeable than us. Since Mr. Ge said it's okay, it must be okay. I guess it's because the saint doesn't want to promote me anymore, so he Given a mansion?"

"Absolutely."

In fact, Yan Xiyaohun didn't care about this matter. In the words of Yan Xiyao: "Resurrection is not a lucky one, so why should you be afraid?"

Yes, now Li Weijian's persona in the court is that of a capable minister and a living god of wealth! Don't say it's just flattering and slapping the horse's hooves, but it's really illegal. If a saint can't do anything about it, this board will only be raised high and put down gently.

Moreover, as Li Weijian expected, how could he be of great use when he was in power at such an old age?

His mentor Yan Xiyao was busy stumbling upon the new party and dismissed Li Weijian after saying a few words.

Li Weijian took the tea cup sent by Qingwen, held it in his hand and said: "Then I went to the Ministry of Industry again and found out that Shan Ziyeye had gone to Suzhou. Minister Zhuang introduced one to him, and he would go there in a few days. Make some plans."

Fu Qiufang asked about his identity and found out that he was just an official, so he thought to himself, "Master, if you don't have time, why don't you let Butler Wu and Hong Yu accompany you to have a look?"

Li Weijian nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to say something else, Qianxue came in and reported, "Master, Jia Yun wants to see you."

Li Weijian wondered: "Jia Yun is back?"

Immediately, he ordered Qian Xue to lead him to the outer study room, and he stood up and moved over. When I arrived at the outer study room, I saw that it was Jia Yun who came.

Seeing Li Weijian, Jia Yun immediately smiled and bowed: "My nephew has met Uncle Jian."

Li Weijian sat down, ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked, "When did you come back?"

Jia Yun then said: "I entered the capital at noon yesterday and rested at home for the night. I expected Uncle Jian to come back at noon. My nephew just came to see me."

"Promoted?"

Jia Yun cupped her hands and smiled and said: "Thanks to Fourth Uncle Jian, I have now been promoted to the seventh rank. If there are no accidents in this report, I will probably take the post of seventh rank governor and go to Guangxi to handle sugar affairs."

Jia Yun is older than Li Weijian, and is now in her twenties. He was originally calm and thoughtful, but he has gained experience in Guangzhou in the past two years. He is restrained and calm, and looks extremely safe.

Li Weijian asked about the sugar cane affairs, and Jia Yun talked about it one by one. Industrialized sugar production is naturally not comparable to the handicraft industry. Nowadays, Guangzhou's sugar cane industry uses all machines. Jia Yun has also renovated sugar-pressing machines. This is limited by the sugarcane planting area. However, sooner or later, the money earned by the sugar cane industry will catch up with mulberry and linen weaving. .

Li Weijian nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Now that you have experienced it, you don't need my advice on how to handle the sugar business in Guangxi. It is rare to return to the capital this time, and you are old enough. You have to think about life-long events."

Jia Yun suddenly became embarrassed and said sheepishly: "Uncle Jian, I don't know, but my nephew has already made a marriage arrangement in Guangzhou."

"Oh?"

Jia Yun was handsome and well-trusted by Li Weijian, so some Guangzhou gentry rushed to push their daughter over. After going back and forth, he fell in love with a woman named Zhang. Her father was just a civil servant, and the two families were of the same family. This time Jia Yun returned to Beijing and reported that her mother had received permission and planned to go south and pass through Guangzhou, get married, and then go to Guangxi.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "In that case, I will prepare a congratulatory gift later."

Jia Yun refused, then took out a letter from her arms and said: "Uncle Jian, my nephew visited my uncle via Jinling this time. This is written by my uncle himself."

Li Weijian took it and said angrily: "How could you pass by Jinling on a sea ship?"

Jia Yun only said: "My nephew dare not forget the kindness of Fourth Uncle Jian's support. This time I just sent some earthen gifts to Fourth Uncle's home."

The two of them talked for a while longer. Li Weijian asked to stay for dinner, but Jia Yun declined. He just agreed to have dinner with his mother and left immediately.

After sending Jia Yun away, Li Weijian opened the letter. As expected, the letter was written by his uncle himself. There were very few concerns in the letter, and the rest was mostly preaching. It was mentioned at the end that the eldest aunt, the widowed aunt, and two cousins, Li Wen and Li Qi, were leaving soon and were expected to arrive in the capital in mid-April.

The second monk Li Weijian was confused. Shi Shiran returned to the main room. When Qingwen asked about it, he said curiously: "It's strange. My widowed aunt and two cousins ​​came to the capital. It was supposed to be for the marriage of the cousins... It's just that Why is auntie here too?"

Just as she was wondering, Qian Xue came to report with a strange expression: "Sir, Wu Haining went to visit the mansion today. I heard that the eldest lady led people into the mansion through the corner gate of the garden and moved all the items back."

Li Weijian was stunned, thinking to himself that this eldest lady really has no lower limit!

............................................................

Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Mu just woke up from her nap, and Yuanyang came looking for her with a strange look on her face.

"What's the matter?"

Yuanyang pursed his lips and said, "Go back to the old lady. The eldest lady got a bronze animal head smoke cage from the East Mansion and sent someone to carry it over."

Mother Jia was immediately furious: "Take it back quickly, don't bring it in front of me to make me angry!" She has seen many greedy and calculating old ladies, but this is the first time she has seen such a limitless one.

The Chief of Shenxing searched through it and found out that the good things in Dongfu had been swept away long ago, leaving some scraps and scraps, which Mrs. Xing still regarded as a treasure. I don't know why I was so blind that I brought a shabby smoke cage to block Jia Mu's mouth. That is to say, Jia Mu is getting older and her heart is much more relaxed. In her early years, she would have died of nausea.

After Yuanyang got the words, he hurriedly waved to the two rough ladies waiting at the screen outside the Nuan Pavilion, and the two women carried the fumigation cage out with a bang.

By chance, Baoyu returned at this time and passed by the two women. He glanced at the animal head smoke cage and felt that it looked very familiar. When he came in and saw Jia Mu coming out of the Nuan Pavilion supported by the mandarin ducks, Baoyu asked: "Old man Ancestor, that smoke cage looks familiar, where did you get it?"

Jia Mu was stunned again and waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't mention it, don't mention it." She sat down on the soft couch and asked, "What did the mountain chief say?"

Baoyu said gloomily, "As agreed, I will go to school."

In fact, in the afternoon, Jia Zheng led Baoyu to see the mountain chief. Tang Cuosong, the mountain chief, looked at the face of the Rongguo Mansion and casually took the Confucian classics and righteousness test. "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Analects" were okay, "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" were good. I don’t know anything about the Five Classics. Tang Fusong asked about his age and said casually: "Although he started elementary school a little late, he is still a man of talent. He can come to the academy to study in the future."

Jia Zheng was annoyed and embarrassed, so Wei Wei agreed, but he turned around and did not give Bao Yu a good look.

When Jia Mu saw this, she just sighed and said nothing. Seeing that all the sisters were gone, Baoyu chatted with Jia Mu for a while, then turned to look for others to play mischief.

After a while, a mother-in-law came to report that the eldest master, the master, Jia Dairu, Jia Xiao and others had arrived to find Jia's mother to discuss the matter of inheritance and ancestral hall.

This was business, so Jia Mu quickly ordered someone to bring the chair. After a while, a group of people came in, including Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

After everyone sat down, the maids served tea, and Jia Dairu said: "Since the inheritance has fallen into Enhou's room, the family land and the village must take over quickly, and people should be replaced where necessary, and accounts should be taken care of. "

Everyone nodded. Mrs. Duwang was just thinking about how to refute Dafang Heir. Suddenly, when she heard these words, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Dafang Heir? Why is this?"

Seeing everyone looking at the general, Mrs. Wang said: "I can't say for sure, but the eldest man is in poor health. I'm afraid -"

Then I heard Jia Mu say in surprise: "Who said it was the eldest master who inherited the throne?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Wang became more and more surprised and said casually: "If you are not the eldest master, could it be that you are brother Lian?"

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xing's mouth turned up, suppressing a smile; Jia Zheng frowned, obviously annoyed; Jia Mu had a wooden face, not knowing how to explain.

Jia Dairu, Jia Xiao and others below were even more astonished. Looking at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng again, they looked at their noses, mouths, and hearts, but said nothing.

Just listen to Jia Mu say: "My wife doesn't know the clan system, so it's better not to talk about this matter."

Mrs. Wang was horrified and looked at Mrs. Xing angrily. Qing knew that she had fallen into Mrs. Xing's trick, but she couldn't argue for a while.

At this time, Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "What does the stupid woman in the inner house know? What did my good brother teach you? Why don't you get down quickly!"

Mrs. Wang suddenly blushed, stood up and shook for a while, and then hurried away after being helped by several maids.

Jia Zheng was just annoyed about the Baoyu incident and was feeling depressed when something like this happened again. He was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head. He just threw his hands around and said, "Zhuo Jing doesn't know the clan law. He made a mistake and made everyone laugh. .”

Jia Dairu and Jia Xiao did not dare to offend Jia Zheng, but nodded one after another. The elder Jia She smiled sadly and said: "Second brother, if you don't clean one house, how can you sweep the world?"

Jia Zheng didn't know what to say, so Jia's mother said, "Maybe it's because of the stick sores. Let my wife rest at home these days. Brother Feng, please take care of the housework first."

Wang Xifeng bowed her head and responded, feeling overwhelmed with emotion! With just one word, the old lady took away the housekeeper's right from her!

Fortunately, Brother Jian reminded me yesterday, otherwise, wouldn’t he and Mrs. Wang have become a laughing stock today? Although she was still frightened, somehow, the situation of that day and the strange dream this morning came to mind, which made Sister Feng feel very strange. She was in a trance for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she had already missed a lot.

Without Mrs. Wang, the responsibility of inheriting the family would naturally fall on Jia Lian. Second Master Lian is indispensable. Although the family farmland and the village are beneficial, he still has to take care of them, which is a mixed feeling.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Xifeng secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. Done! Since Jia Lian is the leader of the clan, the family will not just let him have the false title of Tongzhi. He may not be able to make up for the real vacancy with some operations in the future. Got it!

Later, we talked about the ancestral hall. Now that Ningguo Mansion is in the hands of Li Weijian, he must first ask for the ancestors' memorial tablets, otherwise it is not good to put the ancestors in other people's homes.

Jia She said: "Tomorrow I have invited Brother Jian to place the tablet in the family temple. After a while, the ancestral hall is rebuilt and then we can place it."

Everyone nodded, and the matter was settled. Jia Dairu and Jia Xiao immediately left. After the outsiders left and only the people in Rongguo Mansion were left, Jia Mu said, "I wonder how much money it will cost to rebuild the ancestral hall?"

The old man was hoping to earn more money from the project, so he thought to himself: "If it is built as an ordinary building, it will cost 50,000 to 70,000 taels of silver."

Jia's mother knew that Grand View Garden had emptied her family's money, so she turned to look at Wang Xifeng: "Brother Feng, can you give me some of my money?"

Where can I get help? I'm just afraid that I will suffer a loss this year. But Wang Xifeng shied away: "Old lady, you have to ask your wife about this matter."

Jia Mu then nodded: "Then you go ask your wife and ask her. Arrange the ancestors earlier so that the ancestors can feel at ease."

Sister Feng agreed, and everyone dispersed immediately.

When they came out of Jia Mu's courtyard, Ping'er pushed Wang Xifeng all the way to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to look for her. When they got inside, they saw Mrs. Wang wiping away tears.

Several maids, Baochai and Baoyu were comforting her. When they saw Sister Feng coming, Mrs. Wang suddenly said angrily: "Did you already know about the inheritance? Why didn't you tell me?"

Wang Xifeng quickly pretended to be frightened and said: "Madam, this inheritance is all handled by men, how could I know it? It was only after the second master told me last night that I realized that there were brothers and sisters involved. The father dies and the son succeeds. I thought my wife had known about it for a long time, but I was afraid that she would laugh at me for not having read a book, so I didn’t say anything about it because I was busy with work in the morning. "

Wang Xifeng said this, what else could Mrs. Wang do? He just beat his chest and said, "I fell into that eldest lady's trick!"

"Ah?" Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked, and then Mrs. Wang shed tears and told her about Mrs. Xing's frame-up of her yesterday.

The eldest lady was her mother-in-law after all, so Wang Xifeng couldn't comment, so she could only comfort Mrs. Wang in various ways. But in my heart, I despised the eldest wife and the eldest man's parents-in-law. She saw that Mrs. Wang was confused, so why did the two parents-in-law bother to make things so superfluous?
There are overt and covert fights in Rongguo Mansion, and it is important to fight without breaking through. It's really shameless for the eldest lady to sacrifice her face and set up the trap herself!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel grateful to Li Weijian again.

However, Sister Feng didn't know that Mrs. Wang had already heard that the household affairs would be left to Sister Feng while she was recovering from her injuries. In addition, Jia Lian was the heir this time, and this big house had the potential to compete with the second house. Sister Feng is a shrewd person. If Mrs. Wang's thoughts are exposed in the future, won't the second wife's plan be in vain?

Because Mrs. Wang secretly calculated that the eldest man had suffered a stroke, and there was no chance that he would have another stroke in the future, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Young Master Jia Lian had a habit of being sexually obscene, and he had no taboo on female sex, so there was no chance that he would be a eldest man in the future. On the contrary, It's the niece Wang Xifeng who is hard to deal with... Why not strike first while Sister Feng still listens to her!
