The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 83
The Xing family used to live well in Suzhou, but unfortunately, the old parents left early, thinking that they had found a suitable marriage for the eldest daughter. In the future, the Xing family will always be revived one day, but Madam Xing is simply a white-eyed wolf. As soon as the couple left, she moved all the belongings of the family into Beijing.Every month, Wang Shanbao's family is only asked to donate a few taels of silver to feed and drink the rest of the people.

Wang Shanbao's family is stingy and harsh, and loves to take advantage of small things. She and Zhou Rui's family are both companions, but judging from the point of view of life, the former is far less than one ten-thousandth of the latter.It is said that the girls in the garden are more intimate with Zhou Rui's family, but Wang Shanbao's family, relying on low-handed tactics and Mrs. Xing's trust, she has often made enemies.

Xing Zhong glanced at Wang Shanbao's family with disgust: "Your wife is a woman in the inner courtyard, and she should be filial to her elders, just like raising her children. What's the point of sending your mother-in-law to the front door! You go back and tell her, don't gossip, we Xing Zhong The daughter of the family can teach herself, so she doesn't need to worry about it. If she is bored, she should raise a son by her side, so that she won't know who will die for her when she gets old!"

Xing Zhong's words are not polite at all!

Wang Shanbao's family knew that it must be Mrs. Lu who told his uncle about his wife's intention to let Miss Xing enter the palace. Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly laughed and said, "My uncle! I don't like to hear your words. Are they brothers and sisters?" , is there any knot that cannot be untied? Even if our wife speaks a little inappropriately, she has a good heart. Besides, the cork wood is used as a chime hammer, and my wife is also decent on the outside but bitter on the inside! Now my wife is looking forward to uncle Lord, uncle doesn't say he is sympathetic to his wife's hard work, but instead makes sarcastic remarks, which even makes me feel chilled as a slave."

Xing Zhong sneered unconsciously: "Who is your wife working hard for?"

"Of course it's for my uncle and the aunts at home." Wang Shanbao's family followed Xing Zhong's footsteps out of the cross gate, seeing the Xing family's carriages and horses parked in front of them, Wang Shanbao's family didn't care too much, I'm going to come over and pull Xing Zhong.

Xiuyan raised her hand and slapped Wang Shanbao's face resoundingly.

Oops from Wang Shanbao's family squatted on the ground, except for seven or eight servants standing at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, staring dumbfounded at the girl from Xing's family showing her power.

Xing Xiuyan didn't give Wang Shanbao's family a chance at all, and shouted loudly: "You mother, you have no shame. You dare to tease my father in broad daylight! If it wasn't for the sake of the old lady, I would never forgive him today. you!"

Wang Shanbao's family was ashamed, covered his face and stood up in embarrassment: "Forget it, forget it, this is not the first time I have been beaten. Tomorrow I will go back to my wife, and go back to my hometown as soon as possible, so that the girl will not attack me when she sees me!"

A few winking servants hurried up to pull her: "Mom is going crazy again, Miss Xing gave you a few slaps as a kindness, mother, why don't you thank Miss Xing?"

Wang Shanbao's family was furious!This group of monkey cubs must have seen Xing Xiuyan's beauty, and wanted to curry favor with the Xing family.Wang Shanbao's family pushed one of them away with a fist, and there was a tear in the front of his clothes, but he didn't know it.

Xing Zhong looked at the unconvinced Wang Shanbao's family, and sneered: "You really want to go back to your hometown, so I will kindly send you a ride! However, first settle the matter with your master, and give away the dowry due to the second and third aunts." Hand it over."

The complexion of Wang Shanbao's family changed suddenly.Did she know that the old lady of the Xing family was afraid that the eldest daughter would be unreliable, so she wrote a deed before Mrs. Xing got married, which listed the distribution of the family property in detail.However, the old lady of the Xing family had a short life, and she died before she could go to the government for filing.

Those deeds were personally burned by Wang Shanbao's family, so she will never remember them wrong.

Could it be that uncle heard some rumors from those neighbors who talked badly?
Wang Shanbao's family still had no intention of getting entangled with Xing Zhong and Xiuyan, so they hurried back to the inner courtyard to discuss the news with Mrs. Xing.

Besides, Mrs. Xing was waiting anxiously, and when she saw her confidant and accompanying room come in, she hurriedly asked if uncle was invited?

Wang Shanbao's family couldn't help but smile wryly: "My wife, haven't you seen the red marks on my face? It's not the niece of my wife who was scolded by my servant. That girl is too crazy. She slapped my wife last time, and she slapped her again today. Don’t tell me! Who would believe it, we are still close relatives!”

Mrs. Xing was furious, and she patted her thigh repeatedly: "It's the other way around, you go to the front yard with me, and I'll tear off the lip of that hoof, smash her palm, and see if she dares to show off!"

Wang Shanbao's family secretly rejoiced, and stopped him with a pretentious make-up.

Mrs. Xing has always been a woman with no intentions, and she was instigated by Wang Shanbao's family before marrying into Beijing with all her gold and silver.She is more than greedy but not enough in the city. She has been unable to gain a foothold in the Rongguo Mansion for many years. In the final analysis, she is still not smart enough.

Mrs. Xing walked to the gate with seven or eight maids and women in the room, when she suddenly saw the old mother in Jiamu's room coming to invite her.

Wang Shanbao's family was in a bad mood and immediately hid behind Mrs. Xing.

"Madam, the old lady asked you to go over and ask questions."

Mrs. Xing was afraid that Xing Zhong would run away, so she replied bluntly: "I have something important to do here, you tell the old lady, I'll be there later!"

The old mother stopped Mrs. Xing with a half-smile: "The eldest lady is in such a hurry, even the old lady has to wait? I advise the lady to act faster and let the irrelevant things go first. The old lady is getting angry right now." Woolen cloth!"

At this moment, Mrs. Xing still didn't know why Jia Mu was angry. Hearing the old mother's aggressive tone, she had no choice but to go to Jia Mu's upper room.

Today is the Lantern Festival, Jia Zhen brought You Shi over early to help with the arrangements.Many men and women from the clan came to pay their respects. It stands to reason that Jiamu's upper room should be the busiest place, but at this moment there was no one there.

The more Mrs. Xing walked, the more suspicious she became. As soon as she reached the door, Yuanyang picked up the curtain from the inside.

"Miss Yuanyang, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xing has never seen rabbits or hawks, but today she is extraordinarily rich, and she took the initiative to stuff a silver key for Yuanyang.

Yuanyang pushed Madam Xing's hand back without raising her eyelids: "You will know when the eldest lady enters."

Mrs. Xing quickly withdrew her hand and put the silver lock back on her cuff.She didn't dare to delay even more, and entered the inner room with suspicion.Yuanyang spat lightly behind Mrs. Xing's back, and then sat on the small pole at the door doing needlework as if nothing had happened.

The inner room is filled with incense, the floor is covered with scarlet felt, the screen is screened with phoenixes, and the mattress is covered with hibiscus.Jia's mother sat on the right seat, and Wang stood beside her tremblingly.

Mrs. Xing's heart skipped a beat, she knew something was wrong.

"Where's the lady's accompanying room?" Mother Jia asked coldly.Immediately outside the house, two caretaker mothers staggered in, escorting Wang Shanbao's family.Wang Shanbao's family was pushed hard, and the one who hit the ground face first suffered a big loss.

"Old lady." Mrs. Xing was ashamed and annoyed. How could the old lady allow her to argue, and immediately cursed: "You stupid woman! I was blind back then, why did I choose you, an incompetent idiot!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Old ancestor, at least save some face for the eldest lady!"

"Bah! She is not worthy of face! The face of a slave Yangzi, no wonder the big house is weak, and my son's behavior is getting more and more sloppy. With such a bereaved star by his side, the Rongguo Mansion will not have a safe life!"

Mrs. Xing cried aggrievedly: "Master, it's my daughter-in-law's fault for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling! When I didn't come in."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk too much. First, when the eldest wife is still around, the family business is more prosperous. The key is that Brother Lian and the second girl are so well-behaved."

Mrs. Wang's words were not stingy to add fuel to the fire. When Jia's mother thought that the eldest son had been bought by a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right in the past few years, she had nothing to do except Jia Cong's biological mother, who was still doing well!
Mrs. Xing is a hen who can only crow but not lay eggs.

Once Jia Lian left, Dafang's family business would inevitably be handed over to Jia Cong.Mother Jia felt bored thinking about it!So I feel more and more that all these mistakes are caused by Mrs. Xing.She wanted to be strong for a lifetime, but in the end the two daughters-in-law couldn't get what they wanted.

Jia Mu was silent for a long while before she said: "I made a vow in front of the Bodhisattva, you will write a thousand copies of the Ksitigarbha Sutra for me, and come to see me when you finish writing it. You don't need to attend the family banquet tonight, tomorrow At the beginning, tell Brother Cong to go to school with Lan Xiaozi, you are not allowed to see him! Also, drag the companion to the second door and beat him with thirty sticks, and he will not be allowed to enter the house from now on."

"Old lady!" Mrs. Xing's sharp voice hovered in the inner room, her face was ferocious like a ghost.

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to come to help her, so she could only persuade in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, go back first, everything will be discussed after the old lady calms down." She winked at the next person, and the two mothers hurriedly supported Mrs. Xing.

Mother Jia slowly closed her eyes, and with her fingernails she picked up a bit of panacea oil on her temples, and said weakly, "Tell Yuanyang to pick some expensive gifts from the storeroom and send them to my uncle's house, let them know at least, isn't it?" Our Jia family has no rules!"

"This, isn't it? My daughter-in-law heard that Ms. Xing also beat someone! We are sending things over now, will it be true? What was originally reasonable has become unreasonable!"

Jia Mu's eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at Wang coldly: "That's what you mean?"

"My daughter-in-law is also thinking about her mother. After all, Miss Xing shouldn't have quarreled with Wang Shanbao's family at the gate. What I don't know is that our family has done something to offend the Xing family. Others Regardless of whether it is the aunt of the Xing family who is at odds with the uncle, I will only think that the Jia family is in the wrong. Madam, at this moment, the Duke of Liu's family is presenting a concubine first, and the empress's reputation must not be tarnished in the slightest!"

Mother Jia lowered her head and was silent for a moment: "Forget it, I think uncle is not a person who cares about every detail. But since you mentioned it, I also want to say that it is urgent to choose a helper for the empress. I already have a candidate in my heart, and you can choose again." Come up with one, then secretly tell the name to the empress, and ask her to make the final decision!"

Mrs. Wang panicked immediately, "Which one does the old lady like?"

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang indifferently, and said softly: "Isn't that girl from your good sister's family?"
