Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 141 Proud Sister Feng

After coming out of Li Wan's courtyard, Jia Rong and his wife walked east, passed through the west corner gate, and walked dozens of meters along the wide north-south road before arriving at the main entrance of Feng Jie's courtyard.

In front of the door is a large screen wall of flour and oil, with servants guarding the door.

Seeing Jia Rong and his wife coming, they quickly greeted them and saluted.

Jia Rong and his wife asked their servant girl to report the news. After hearing this, they quickly invited them in. They saw that the courtyard was spacious and there were three small courtyards where flowers and plants were planted. In the cool autumn of September, they were in full bloom and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Because Sister Feng exercised her power in the back house of Rongguo Mansion, many servants and daughters-in-law came to ask questions. Each one of them was solemn and respectful and stood in the corridor of the main house to listen to orders.

Before entering the door, I heard Sister Feng's scolding, "What's going on? Last month you said you didn't have enough pancreatic juice. You just took 20 taels, and now it's gone?"

"Grandma, I'm sorry, the pancreas I bought last time didn't work well. It melted quickly when soaked in water..." Before she could finish her words, Sister Feng scolded her, "It didn't work well. Why didn't you tell me last time?" ? I think you must have been doing something secretly and taking a kickback from the owner of the pancake shop!"

"Grandma, this slave is wronged."

"You still dare to call me Qu? Ping'er, slap your mouth!"

After the words fell, there was a crisp sound of applause in the room.

Jia Rong and his wife looked at each other in shock, and the daughters-in-law and girls in the corridor were even more pale and frightened, and they did not dare to breathe.

Wang Xifeng in front of Jia Mu and Sister Feng in private are completely different.

"Teach me to have a good memory this time!" Wang Xifeng scolded, "You dare to fool me under my nose, you are really blind! If there is not enough pancreas this time, you can make up for me yourself. If I find you again If you dare to pretend to receive false support, you should stop being the head of the washing room, I will let others take care of it!"

"Thank you grandma for showing mercy."

There were muffled words, and the next second someone opened the door curtain, and a servant girl in green clothes came out, her face was bruised, she had just been beaten.

Seeing Jia Rong and his wife, they quickly saluted and said, "Greetings to the lord and lady."

When the words reached the room, Wang Xifeng changed her tone to a friendly tone and raised her voice, "Are they Brother Rong and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law? Come in quickly."

While talking, Jia Rong and his wife opened the door curtain and walked into the main hall. They saw luxurious furnishings and a simple and elegant atmosphere inside and outside.

Wang Xifeng was sitting in the hall, with a rocking bun, and a pair of pomegranate red satin flowered trousers, revealing half of a pink satin tube top, and a large area of ​​skin on her neck, which made people's eyes brighten.

Both feet stepped on the footrest, revealing a light yellow horse-faced skirt embroidered with bamboo and chrysanthemums.

Today's dress is different from the gorgeous dress in the past, but it is a homely dress.

Jia Rong looked carefully and saw two ruby ​​pendants on her earlobes, a gold bar holder on her wrist, a pink handkerchief in her palm, and embroidered with gorgeous and delicate flower and plant patterns.

A thin application of powder and daisy reveals all kinds of charm, making it even more adorable.

Jia Rong's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Jia Rong and his wife coming in, Wang Xifeng got up from the couch and walked towards Qin Keqing with a sweet smile.

She has a very good relationship with Qin Keqing. They are best friends who talk about everything, and they naturally get close to each other when they see her.

At this time, all the wives and girls in the house respectfully paid their respects to Jia Rong and his wife, and Jia Rong and his wife also paid their respects to Wang Xifeng.

The most eye-catching one is a little daughter-in-law with her hair tied up in a bun.

She has delicate eyebrows, thin eyebrows and a clever mouth, and her eyes are gentle and calm.

Wearing a lilac-colored embroidered aqua blue cotton cross-collar long vest, paired with a white cross-collar jacket, and a white pleated skirt underneath.

Holding a blue embroidered sweat scarf in his hand, he stood behind Wang Xifeng and saluted Jia Rong and his wife.

This girl is none other than Ping'er, the eldest daughter of Jia Lian's first wife.

She is also one of Wang Xifeng's dowry girls, and now she is the number one confidant around her.

Master and servant Wang Xifeng, one in red is as passionate as fire, the other in blue is as gentle as water, they complement each other in the room, making Jia Rong smile and nod.

"Aunt Xue is in Beijing. According to protocol, I should accompany my husband to visit." Qin Keqing held hands with Wang Xifeng and said with a smile:

"When I came out of Lixiangyuan, I just wanted to visit you and my aunt. Otherwise, if you knew that I came to Rong Mansion but didn't come to see you, why would you still blame me in your heart?"

Seeing Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing was also smiling and spoke with a relaxed tone.

"Humph, that's good if you know!" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, like a red peacock who had won a battle.

While holding Qin Keqing's hand, Yanran walked towards the inner hall with a smile. While turning to look at Jia Rong, he smiled and said, "I heard that you spent a lot of money combing the farmland outside the customs?" Regarding Jia Rong's reform of Ningguo Mansion, the one who is most concerned about Rongguo Mansion is probably Wang Xifeng.

She knows how to run a business and is friendly with Qin Keqing. Whenever the two chatted, the topic always turned to Jia Rong, and they couldn't do without the reforms in the inner and outer houses, and then expressed some thoughts.

"Yes, it cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan." Jia Rong smiled and nodded, only exaggerating the number to show his wealth.

as predicted.

Hearing that Jia Rong spent thirty or forty thousand taels, even Wang Xifeng couldn't help but secretly gasped, took a breath, and looked at Jia Rong with complicated eyes.

Ping'er beside her also glanced at Jia Rong involuntarily, but his face was calm and he quickly lowered his head.

"From the time Brother Zhen passed away to your housekeeper, the Ning Mansion has been one by one, and the money spent has been flowing out like a river. Can you still afford it?" Wang Xifeng asked with concern.

While talking, everyone walked to the middle hall. Wang Xifeng sat on the beauty couch and sat across from Qin Keqing at a square table.

Ping'er stood beside Wang Xifeng and waited on him.

Jia Rong sat on the tattoo chair opposite, and the girls respectfully served hot tea.

"Although the prosperity of the house is not great, the family still has some wealth." Jia Rong nodded with emotion, took another sip of hot tea, and said solemnly to Wang Xifeng,

"Second aunt works as a housekeeper in Rong Mansion and knows how to manage the economy. She must know my difficulties.

"In the past few years, due to natural and man-made disasters, the income of farmland in various places has been reduced a lot, and there have been many chronic diseases inside and outside the house. Since I took charge of the house, I have looked at the accounts of the house, and it is really shocking. If I don't go there in person, I will always I have no confidence in my heart. Although I spent a lot of money, it was well worth the money. The investment in farmland in the suburbs of Beijing, Jiangnan, and Guanwai is the foundation for maintaining the dignity of our government. While we still have money, we can lay the foundation Well, even if you lose money for a year or two, there will always be a time when you turn your profits and losses around.

"But if you just let it go and just squander it, how many families will be ruined? Let alone respect. When the time comes, you will tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, but you won't teach people to laugh at it! Second Aunt, do you think so or not?"

Jia Rong likes to talk to Wang Xifeng about economics, housekeeping, and managing people.

Wang Xifeng, a girl who seems to like to show off her coquettishness and can talk to anyone, is actually very proud in her bones.

She is an unexpectedly loyal woman.

But it is not conservative, nor is it a model of the Confucian principle of "if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog". This sentence is not suitable to describe her. Because her loyalty actually comes from her pride! ——She is a gorgeous and proud phoenix!

She hates cheating women and cheating men.

She has an ideal pursuit of love.

There are only two ways to gain her favor. The first is to show your abilities and let her appreciate and admire you. ——Phoenix looks down on sparrows. Only a powerful true dragon can make her willingly surrender, which becomes a world legend of "dragon and phoenix singing in harmony".

The second is to prove the spouse's disloyalty and low ability. ——The proud Phoenix cannot accept "betrayal". Betrayal after betrayal will make her more and more angry, and eventually she will lose her mind. Finally, she will overcome the pride in her heart and act impulsively to retaliate against her spouse.

In fact, it’s not just Sister Feng.

Most women in the world have this mentality.

Even in the animal world, in order to compete for mate rights, males also need to fully demonstrate their powerful abilities to attract the favor of the opposite sex.

If Jia Rong is a waste, like Jia Rui, but he wants to eat swan meat. That would only lead to Wang Xifeng's disgust and revenge.

as predicted.

After Jia Rong said these words, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said with emotion, "Yes, when you are not a housekeeper, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Everyone else sees how majestic my housekeeper is and how ruthless his methods are. But they don't know that in troubled times, there are still I need to use a heavy certificate. If I hadn't been ruthless and made these audacious people shrink their claws, I don't know how the Rongguo Mansion would have been emptied by them."

Jia Rong's words touched Wang Xifeng's itchy spot and resonated emotionally with Jia Rong, making her eyes look at him more and more appreciative.

I feel that Jia Rong is a truly capable man who can protect the women at home and build a strong family.

"Unfortunately……"

Wang Xifeng shook her head secretly. It was her aunt who made the decision and promised her to Jia Lian.

If she is promised to Jia Rong, then she and Jia Rong have the same mind, and I don't know how happy she is today.
