The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 239
Grandma Jing, an uninvited guest, came here under the slogan of visiting her close friend Xing Xiuyan, but every word she spoke had a strong smell of vinegar.How could a shrewd woman like Wang Xifeng fail to predict what the other party was thinking?
Sister Feng smiled happily: "Why didn't Grandma Jing bring Miss Wei'er from your house with her today? She is a skillful hand. Last time I heard that I was pregnant, she offered to make me a small quilt. Grandma Jing doesn't know me, she has rough hands and feet, and she hasn't done any sewing since she was a child, so she's barely doing anything."

Grandma Jing listened to Wang Xifeng talking about her little concubine Weier, and she didn't care about it: "It's natural, like what kind of background we are, we have been influenced by playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and our brothers and sisters are all educated and reasonable people, even if we don't understand Needlework, that’s justifiable, who expects us to use this to exchange money? It’s not that small family. But Wei’er is different. She sold it to our Yang family when she was a child. If she doesn’t have a few skills , can our old lady like it? So, the fate of this person is very different from person to person!"

What he said made Jia Baoyu very contemptuous.

Jia Baoyu, who had just been pushed into the inner room by Ping'er, jumped out restlessly, and said to Grandma Jing, "Both are born and raised by parents, whoever is superior? Miss Wei'er is already very wronged to be your family's concubine, if you don't treat me kindly, you will find it hard to do anything, even I can't see it."

Grandma Jing was taken aback by Jia Baoyu who jumped out, and her face turned blue: "Where did you come from, you dare to act wild here!" She said to Wang Xifeng with a straight face: "I came here with good intentions. Look at Second Mistress Lian, your family doesn't even have basic etiquette, is this also the way of hospitality?"

Grandma Jing's voice was sharp, and her face would turn red when she spoke in a hurry.Wang Xifeng was still sitting firmly on the low couch, looking at Grandma Jing's haughty look with cold eyes, feeling very disdainful in her heart.

Yang Youzhi knew that the couple came from the Rongguo Mansion, and whenever they met in the past, was there a time when they were not cautious?Yang Youzhi is smarter than his silly daughter-in-law, and he knows how much he has.Since Emperor Taizu founded the country, how many champions have been ranked second?If you are lucky, you will be the head of the six departments. If you are unlucky, it is not uncommon for you to be sent to remote areas by the officials.

The Yang family has no money and no power. Now that they have won the emperor's favor for a while, it may not last for a long time in the future!
Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her thin brows naturally: "Grandma Jing is very angry, this is my natal brother, the most honest child, who offended Grandma Jing, don't take it to heart." He urged Ping'er to drive Jia Baoyu back, and ordered the servant girl to serve tea for everyone again.

Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, and others all turned to Jia Baoyu, and when they saw Grandma Jing's attitude, no one paid any attention to her.

Grandma Jing didn't say anything, but she began to worry secretly.She just heard that relatives from the Jia family next door had come to Rongguo Mansion, so she excitedly found an excuse to come to the door. Seeing Wang Xifeng's lukewarm appearance, and the people in Rongguo Mansion completely ignoring her, Grandma Jing suddenly felt wronged and unfair.

"Sister Xing, follow me to our house!" Grandma Jing always felt that Shi Xiangyun's words were tinged with thorns, pointing at herself every sentence.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "It's too late today, I'll take my brother Fu to see Sister Jing some other day."

Grandma Jing's eyes lit up: "Brother Fu is the fifth prince who was adopted by my younger sister back then?" She couldn't remember the name of the brother of the Xing family, but the story of the emperor picking up pearls in the sea has long been spread in the south of the Yangtze River. Grandma Jing thought that the brother Fu that Xing Xiuyan was talking about was the precious little Highness.

"Sister Jing misunderstood, Your Highness is distinguished, how could you come to a place like us? It's my younger brother who hasn't even turned one year old." What Grandma Jing was thinking, Xiu Yan dared to say that she guessed clearly Chu.Back then, when Gu Erlang was playing tricks behind his back, this Yang Youzhi also made trouble, and Grandma Jing always regarded herself as a potential rival in love, and getting too close to this couple was definitely not a wise thing to do. idea.

Sure enough, Grandma Jing was very disappointed: "But after all, there would be no fifth prince without my sister's family back then, right? I still want to follow my sister's shareholding trend, so that our master can also take advantage of the trend!"

Xiuyan squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "What kind of east wind are we? Sister, if you want to borrow the east wind, I will give you an idea." She whispered a few words in Grandma Jing's ear, Grandma Jing was concentrating for a while, and hurriedly asked: "We don't have much contact with the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and we need my sister to help us connect more."

Xiuyan said heartily: "It's not difficult, when I go to Beijing Palace some other day, I will definitely call my sister."

Grandma Jing secretly laughed and scolded Xing Xiuyan for being a fool, and at the same time, she was planning in her heart how she could speak up in front of Princess Beijing.

Just at this time, the little maid outside came back and said that the aunt of the Yang family next door had come to invite Grandma Jing to go back.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they had deliberately treated Grandma Jing coldly just now, hoping that she would be more sensible and go home earlier, but the other party ate two bowls of tea and refused to mention leaving.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Since Sister Jing is busy with business, I can't keep you anymore. If we are all free tomorrow, I will ask Sister Jing to sit here."

As he said that, he asked Ping'er to help see the guests off.Grandma Jing said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, what's going on in my family is nothing more than the old lady yelling that she's hungry and telling me to go back and serve dinner. It doesn't matter if it's early or late."

When she wanted to brag about her transcendent status in the family to everyone, Wei Er, the aunt of the Yang family, followed the little maid of the Jia family into the main hall.

Shi Xiangyun and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, and looked at the woman in front of them carefully.The water snake has a godly waist, slashed shoulders, and charming features in her eyebrows and eyes.Tanchun and Xichun looked at this woman for a while, and at Third Sister You who was sitting next to Youshi for a while, and compared the two of them together, they were surprised to find that they were surprisingly similar.Not only in appearance, but also indescribable wind/flow in charm.

When Grandma Jing saw Wei'er, she scolded angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Wei'er was full of fear and fear: "Going back to grandma, the young master knew that grandma was here with the second grandma Lian. He was afraid that grandma would bump into some young ladies, so he asked my concubine to invite grandma to her house."

It's fine if Wei'er doesn't say it, but Grandma Jing hates Xing Xiuyan even more when she says that.She didn't dare to curse Xing Xiuyan for hooking up with her husband, so she pointed at Sang and scolded Wei'er: "You shameless little hoof, you must be the one who hooked up with me and said those useless words, which made me misunderstand. I knew it, and keeping you is just a fool." Scourge."

Outside the house, Yang Youzhi was running around in a hurry. He came back late, and as soon as he entered the house, Wei Er said that Mrs. Jing went to the next door to find trouble for Miss Xing's family.Yang Youzhi didn't even have time to take off his official uniform, so he came here after teasing Wei'er.

No one came out from the left or right, so Yang Youzhi couldn't hold back his agitation, he raised his foot and wanted to go in.The servant at the door smiled and stopped Yang Youzhi: "Our second master is not at home, and the house is full of female relatives, even if Uncle Yang goes in, he won't be able to see him. Why don't we ask Aunt Wei'er to urge Auntie Weier to see when the grandma in the house will come out."

Jia Lian came up on his horse from a distance. When the servant saw him, he left Yang Youzhi to lead the horse.

"Why is Brother Yang here?" Jia Lian looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that he was beaten out by his tigress again?There are only a few members of this family, and there is constant fighting between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife, and wives and concubines.

Since Jia Lian became neighbors with the Yang family, he felt that Wang Xifeng was a rare kind and docile person.At least Wang Xifeng didn't slap her husband's face with the sole of her shoe like Grandma Jing did.

Yang Youzhi forced a smile and said: "Second Master Lian, that one of our family is talking to some girls in the house, no, there is something wrong at home, I want her to go back and clean it up."

Jia Lian immediately scolded the guard at the gate: "You don't want to go in and ask Grandma Jing to come out?"

Seeing that the second master was very angry, the servant hurried in to report the news.Jia Lian's face was full of shame: "I'm really sorry Brother Yang, the people in this mansion are controlled by insiders, and I don't usually pay attention to it, that's why I told these slaves to be fearless, even Brother Yang was almost offended. .”

Yang Youzhi didn't blame Jia Lian, in fact, he envied Jia Lian before it was too late!
"Second brother Lian doesn't know how to be blessed while living in blessings, and second sister-in-law Lian is a hero among women, let alone such a small mansion, I heard that Rongguo Mansion was a family of several hundred people back then, and my sister-in-law took care of it clearly. Yang Youzhi said sourly: "Second brother Lian will look at our house again, what else will Mrs. Jing do besides being jealous?"

Thinking that Jia Lian was going to hug his son soon, Yang Youzhi felt even more uncomfortable: "It's so easy for me to have a girl who knows the cold and the warm, and she was beaten to pieces by the Jing family. If a woman like this hadn't been helped by their family back then, I would have died a long time ago. A letter of divorce was sent to the government."

Jia Lian hastily coughed a few times and winked at Yang Youzhi.It's a pity that Yang Youzhi was talking about grief and anger, and he didn't pay attention to the danger behind him.

"Ouch!" With a piercing pain in his ears, Yang Youzhi repeatedly begged for mercy: "My lady."

Jing's sinister sneered and said: "Lady? Huh, didn't you want to divorce me just now? It's so easy to call a lady now!"

Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "Calm down your anger. This is the gate after all. It's not good for outsiders to see it. Younger brother Yang is an official of the imperial court. If he is sued by the censor, the younger siblings will also be worried, right?"

When Mrs. Jing heard this, she let go: "For the sake of Second Master Lian, I won't argue with you now."

Wei'er, who was behind Jing, ran up with red eyes, rubbed Yang Youzhi's ears with her hands, and made a choked sound from time to time: "Master, does it still hurt? It's all because of Wei'er, it's useless to persuade grandma."

Yang Youzhi's head buzzed, he lost all his obedient expression just now, and asked directly: "Did she find trouble with Miss Xing?"

Wei'er glanced timidly at Jing Shi, and suddenly Jing Shi looked at her coldly, so scared that Wei'er immediately bowed her head and fell silent, trembling all over.

Yang Youzhi didn't go anywhere, stomped his feet, pulled Jing Shi with his left hand, and headed home. Jing Shi's pair of small feet couldn't catch up with Yang Youzhi. When he was at the gate, he was thrown backwards.

But in this room, Wei'er put away the tears earlier, hummed triumphantly at Jia Lian, twisted Xiaoman's waist and entered the gate of Yang's house.
