The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 38
(Xiaohe strives to post the second update as soon as possible)
Since the Xing family met Aunt Li by chance on the way, there was absolutely no reason for her to go on the road alone, but the boat of the Li family was small and heavy, and it was far from keeping up with the boat of the Xing family. Invitation, let the Li family and the Xing family take the same boat, and send the boat hired by their family back.

The ship owner is naturally willing, the same amount of money, and he is not asked to go a long way, why not do it?It's just that Aunt Li was unwilling to take advantage of this at first, and finally, under the persuasion of her two daughters, Aunt Li reluctantly agreed.Fortunately, there are not many cages for the mother and daughter of the Li family, and they do not occupy much space in the Xing family.

Due to the delay of half a day, the boatman filled the sails and hurried all the way to the capital.

The news of the Xing family's entry into Beijing quickly spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion, even the neighbors, Uncle Zhen and You Shi, heard about it.This is also thanks to the eldest wife Xing, in order to treat her natal brothers and Aunt Xue equally, the eldest wife went to Mrs. Wang in a fit of rage, poking at Mrs. Wang with thorny words, with only one purpose.The second wife was able to free up a spacious yard for Aunt Xue to live in, why can't Wang Xifeng tidy up a small yard for the uncle's family now?
Mrs. Wang hates the eldest wife so much that her teeth itch, but she can't refute it. Let alone mentioning that the eldest wife is her eldest sister-in-law, even if the trouble comes to the old lady, Mrs. Wang will not take it for granted.

Today's eldest wife talks about her natal brother's current abilities when she meets everyone. This is to increase her own face. Unfortunately, the eldest wife forgot one important thing. Her status in Rongguo Mansion is really humble, and her reputation It's really vulgar, so after the eldest wife yelled for a while, not only did everyone not envy her at all, but they were full of resistance to Uncle Xing's family who had not yet entered Beijing.

Among them was Jia Baoyu.

That day, Lin Daiyu had just quarreled with Jia Baoyu at the old lady's place, and she was too lazy to eat lunch, so she came to Wang Xifeng's with a sullen stomach.

It was lunch time, and Wang Xifeng's yard was always full of maids and women on weekdays, but today it was deserted and deserted with few living creatures.

Daiyu was curious, so she slowed down a little, stood in the courtyard and called through the door and window, "Is Second Sister-in-law at home?"

After a while, Ping'er greeted her from the door, and when she saw Lin Daiyu, she smiled and said, "Miss Lin didn't eat at the old lady's place, so why come to our yard when she has time? The second wife called our second grandmother to the room Speaking, I'm afraid I'm already eating at the second wife's place."

Lin Daiyu took Ping'er's hand and walked into the house, sighing as she walked slowly: "I have come to ask my second sister-in-law for something important, why is it so unfortunate that she is not here!"

Ping'er hurriedly stopped and looked around, "Did Miss Lin come here because of Uncle Xing's family? If it's for this, please don't open your mouth again."

Seeing Ping'er's serious expression, Lin Daiyu asked her what was the reason.

"What else could be the reason! My girl, think about it, the first wife forced our grandma to intercede with the old lady, and the second wife made it clear that she didn't want to. One is her mother-in-law, the other is her aunt, our grandma It's a dilemma in the middle, it's not good for both sides. Now the second wife has scolded her for this matter, and lost her temper with our second master last night. "

Ping'er thought about the unrest in the room last night, and his voice became a little lower: "Our second master has always been good-tempered, and he rarely retaliated when grandma said anything. The wife said a few more harsh words."

Lin Daiyu looked at Ping'er with a face full of surprise, and Ping'er smiled wryly at Lin Daiyu: "Miss, you heard me right, she is the second wife. Don't think that our second master has nothing to say about the power of the second room in the past, in fact, he has long been uncomfortable. It's just that because the elder master didn't speak, he, as a son, is even less talkative. Miss Lin knows that our second master respects his uncle, and I'm afraid it's not much worse than his own father. , got angry with the first wife, and was complained by the second wife, so there was a bit of anger inside and outside the words, wouldn't the second master be angry?"

After hearing the whole story, Lin Daiyu stood silently on the spot.Ping'er said softly: "I quietly told Miss Lin the truth, which was also revealed by our second master secretly. The uncle's family never thought of entering the Rongguo Mansion. It's a good house. Miss Lin knows, how can the uncle's family care about money? They don't treat the eldest wife like the Xue family and the second wife, so naturally they don't want to come here."

Lin Daiyu sneered: "What did Sister Bao and her family say when they came here? Although they live here, all expenses are free. This is the usual way. But what happened later? Isn’t it from the mansion here?”

Although the Xue family's food and drink expenses did not go to the Jia family's general ledger, when the monthly money was distributed to the girls and maids in the first month, Mrs. Wang specifically asked Wang Xifeng to personally send Baochai's share to Lixiangyuan, and sent a message It was still in front of Sanchun and Daiyu.Daiyu understood that it was the second wife who deliberately blocked their mouths.

Lin Daiyu didn't care who the second wife gave money to, even if she emptied the money of Rongning's second mansion!It's also the Jia family's money, so it doesn't get in the way of my business.She just couldn't understand Xue Baochai's demeanor, he seemed to speak righteous words, and refused to accept anything, but the second wife said something, and Xue Baochai accepted it as if grateful.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Ping'er's expression suddenly turned awkward. After all, she is a girl from the Wang family, and Aunt Xue is still the aunt of the Wang family after all.What Miss Lin said was right, but Ping'er was not easy to agree with.

Seeing Ping'er's embarrassment, Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "That's all, I won't make it difficult for you. Now that Mom has made arrangements, I don't have to worry anymore, I just wait for them to come to Beijing."

Lin Daiyu made a gesture to leave, but Ping'er hastily held her back, Daiyu turned her head and looked back puzzled.Ping'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear that? Grandma's family is also visiting relatives, and they plan to stay in Rongguo Mansion!"

Lin Daiyu was clever, and immediately understood what Ping'er meant, so she laughed and scolded: "You can bear to see the first wife and the second wife fight!"

Ping'er snorted: "Why can't I bear it? The two of them abused our grandma in every possible way, and they all thought that our grandma was picking things up in the middle! Taking this opportunity, let the old lady know that it's not easy for our grandma. "

The eldest wife was blocked from letting her brother live in, but the second wife not only kept her own sister, but now she is even more likely to let her daughter-in-law's natal family move into Rongguo Mansion. If the eldest wife knows, how can she swallow this breath!The war between Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang must be on the verge of breaking out.
