Chapter 096: Fu Ren Yu De Bao Chai ascends to the throne
Wang Xifeng was originally interested in watching jokes, but when she heard that Aunt Zhao completely ignored the mother-daughter relationship, not only accused, but even said words of discord and slander Tanchun, she felt some sympathy for Tanchun in her heart, leaned on the quilt and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

When she fell asleep, Ping'er lightly covered her with the quilt and was about to withdraw, but she suddenly said: "This is difficult for the third girl, it is easy to be appreciated by the wife, but she has been given a faceless by Aunt Zhao again and again, as if no one knows that the third girl was born by her aunt." ”
"I thought my grandma was asleep, don't think about it anymore, it's serious to raise your gods" Ping'er had to come back again, still sitting on the edge of the kang, talking to her.
"Didn't the eldest grandmother help say anything?" the third girl herself didn't have anything to say?" Wang Xifeng asked again.
"No matter what the name is, Aunt Zhao is the mother of the third girl after all, and the eldest grandmother doesn't blame her too much, this is the embarrassing place, those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are all outside the hall and craned their necks to listen, do you want her to reprimand Aunt Zhao in front of everyone for not understanding the rules? Wouldn't that slap the third girl's face. ”
"This is the hateful thing about those minions! They don't know how to help persuade them? No one will relieve the third aunt and grandmother?" Sister Feng still closed her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Who said no, but a few aunts and grandmothers who came with me pretended to persuade them, and the words meant to fan the wind, but fortunately, I happened to pass on my grandmother's words and scolded those people before they broke it down. ”
"I don't believe it, according to the personality of the third girl, how can she be the master who is angry in vain, and she didn't say anything?"
When Ping'er heard her say this, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Rao is like this, and those people talk about her being unkind, picking high branches to fly, and even her own mother looks down on her, what else can she say? The third girl was just crying with anger at the moment, and then the more she heard her talk, the more she didn't like it, and then she spoke, who is my uncle? My uncle has already been promoted to the inspection point of the nine provinces, where is there another uncle? Why bother, who doesn't know that I am raised by my aunt, and it will take three days to completely turn it out, for fear that others will not know!"
While the two of them were talking, Mrs. Wang asked Caixia to come over and pass the word, saying that there had been a lot of things in the house recently, and she was afraid that the eldest grandmother and the third girl would not be able to take care of it, so she specially asked Miss Xue to help manage the Rongguo Mansion and let her know.
Xue Baochai also followed to manage the Rongguo Mansion, but it is a matter with profound implications, after all, she is just a guest housekeeper, but she has to manage the affairs of the master's family, Mrs. Wang's intentions can be described as undisguised.
Wang Xifeng and Ping'er both thought in their hearts, although Xue Baochai is smart and capable, after all, she is a guest, and she is tactful, and she is unwilling to offend people easily, but she is afraid that it will not play a big role.
They didn't know that Mrs. Wang's move was also aimed at the old lady's words, and the old lady just joked that if it weren't for Lin Daiyu's weak body, she would have asked her to help the third girl housekeeper, but she didn't expect to touch Mrs. Wang's taboo, so she really informed her and asked Xue Baochai to help manage Rongguo Mansion.
According to Xue Baochai's personality, she is the most modest and dignified, and she should politely refuse this matter, but because of the obstacles encountered by the "Golden Jade Good Fate", she was screaming with Mother Jia in her heart, yes, she left Sister Feng's house to see Mrs. Wang, and it happened that the eyeliner next to the old lady reported Mother Jia's words, and someone learned about Aunt Zhao's matter, and Mrs. Wang was counting the rosaries in the Buddhist hall and sneered in her heart.
Listening to Yu Chu'er's report that Miss Xue said hello, Mrs. Wang handed the prayer beads to Yu Chu'er to put away, and came to the small main hall of the east corridor.
Xue Baochai was sitting inside drinking tea, and when she saw Mrs. Wang coming in, she hurriedly got up and smiled and said goodbye.
"Good boy, you came just in time, I was about to have someone invite you. Madame Wang motioned for her to sit down and speak.
"Auntie has orders, and her nephew and daughter have nothing to disobey, so what's the use of asking for words? Xue Baochai's smile had a taste of coquettishness to her closest elders.
Mrs. Wang herself did not give birth to a daughter, since her nephew's daughter came to live in the house, not to mention her outstanding appearance, she is very proper, dignified and generous, needless to say, and her shot is quite generous, none of the slaves in the Rongguo Mansion did not praise her nephew's daughter, and gave her this aunt a long face, so that she wanted to deliberately not love Baochai, and she couldn't do it.
"My son, have you heard about the past two days?" Mrs. Wang lifted the lid of her teacup and took a sip of hot tea.
"What Aunt Zhao said is that Aunt Zhao is looking for the third girl?" Xue Baochai didn't think about other things.
"Hmm......" Mrs. Wang naturally wouldn't tell her that the mother and daughter were fighting, and she was too late to see the excitement.
Although the old man came back, he was still the same as before, staying in Zhao Meier's house every other day, and he was drunk on the day he just went home, and he actually said to Zhan Guang and Shan Pingren that although Zhao Meier is vulgar, but "the lower body can be picked", I don't want Wang Rushuang to hold everyone's beautiful shelf, the same as wood, which is a great shame for Mrs. Wang, but she can't say it to people, she hopes that Aunt Zhao's mother and daughter will go to heaven to see how the master handles it.
"My son, I am afraid that your sister-in-law's illness will not get better for a while, and now, your eldest sister-in-law and the third girl are temporarily unthankful, there are many people in the yard, I am afraid that I will lose my care, and I have no one to trust, do you want to let irrelevant people take care of things?
This was out of Xue Baochai's surprise, but she was not polite, Mother Jia has always only praised Lin Daiyu for being smart and clever, and she is spoiled by the sky, but she is just indifferent, this time her aunt intends to lift, she naturally wants to make a little improvement to show the master and slave of Jiafu, so as to give her aunt a long face.
"My aunt can trust my nephew's daughter, how dare Baochai refuse, over the years, Baochai has watched coldly, and she also has some ideas to tell her aunt, but she is afraid that she is not as capable as Sister Feng, and she will cause trouble and live up to her aunt's entrustment. ”
Xue Baochai has secretly paid attention to it in the past two years, and has long been confident about the expenditure of Jiafu, although he still doesn't know how many Zhuangzi in Jiafu collect rent, but it is obvious that the official is not thin, only the matter of Yuanchun Province's relatives is very amazing, where to make up for it?
She made a little calculation in her heart, and felt that Rongguo Mansion was now good-looking, and she was living a drunken life with her ancestors' savings, but in fact, she was already unable to make ends meet, and she should seriously rectify it, open source and reduce expenditure, and promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, so as to maintain the long-term prosperity of the mansion.
Mrs. Wang turned out to be just to fight with Jia's mother, playing the card of Xue Baochai, hoping that she could hold down the position, the servants in the house looked at her face, and categorically did not dare to disobey Baochai, so she took advantage of Aunt Zhao and Tanchun's troubles, let her come forward to help manage the housework, and when she could hold it down, in the future, when choosing a daughter-in-law, she also had an excuse to persuade the lord that she was not wrong to choose Baochai.
At this time, listening to Xue Baochai say this, Mrs. Wang came to be interested, if Baochai can really manage Rongguo Mansion to make some improvements, she can openly put forward her own ideas to Jia's mother, even if the old lady is partial to the girl of the Lin family, she has to think about the future of Rongguo Mansion, if she is a hundred years later, there is no one to support Brother Feng, after all, the eldest man is the eldest son, and he inherited the position of a first-class general, and his high power is not comparable to Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Xing will control Brother Feng again, she can't do anything.
She is bent on bringing Baochai closer to Jiafu, but also to consolidate the power of the Wang family in Jiafu, in the future, she, the housekeeper's wife, plus the daughter-in-law of the two-room head of the house, are all people on the side of her Wang family, even if Mrs. Xing is capable, she will not be able to turn the sky upside down.
"Good boy, I know that you are very proper, if you have any good ideas, you can do it, and I will support you horizontally and vertically, what are you afraid of? Good boy, your brother Bao is still young, and I have no kung fu, you work hard for me to take care of it, if there is something unexpected you can think of, you can remind me, don't wait for the old lady to ask and I have nothing to say, those people are not good, you just have to say, they don't listen to you and come back to me, don't make a big deal." ”
Because the weather was getting colder, Daiyu coughed again, Shi Xiangyun was in poor health due to the weather, Jia's mother was not at ease when she knew it, and she also came to the garden to recuperate.
Tanchun and Li Kun live in the wall, plus Xue Baochai, the three of them have been in charge of things very inconvenient recently, Tanchun and the two discussed, every morning, the three of them go to the three small flower halls in the south of the gate of the Grand View Garden to meet, have breakfast there, concentrate on errands, and then go home at noon every day.
These three square halls were originally the places where the deacons and eunuchs sat when they were preparing for the provincial relatives, and the concubines did not need to be used after the provincial relatives, and only the mothers-in-law went to the night every day.
There is also a plaque hanging here, inscribed with the words "Fu Ren Yude", the slave door in the family house is called "the council room", now every day they deal with the affairs of the family here, Mao is the beginning, the noon is over, where the daughter-in-law who should be in charge of the affairs and so on to talk back and forth, the stream is endless, more lively than when the concubine is provincial.
When everyone heard that Xue Baochai had been added to take care of things, they all tacitly knew that it was today's coquettish, tomorrow's housekeeper and grandmother, so they naturally didn't dare to offend, but thinking that the eldest grandmother Li Kun was a kind person, and Douen was not punished, so she was naturally better prevaricated than Sister Feng, and the two girls were shy young ladies who had not left the cabinet, and they would not be very powerful, so they didn't care very much, and compared to Sister Feng's childhood, she was much slack.
At that time, it was also a coincidence, there were more than a dozen hereditary officials of the princes and princes in the past few days, all of which were the families of Rongguo Mansion, either promoted or deposed, especially more than usual. Xue Baochai supervised in the upper room every day, and only went home to rest after Mrs. Wang returned home.
In the evening, the mother-in-law just wanted to gather for a small gamble, she took a sedan chair in the spring, and led the garden to inspect all parts of the night, more diligent than Sister Feng at that time, and those servants secretly complained: "I just fell a patrol Yaksha, and a pair of Zhenshan Tai Sui came, and more and more I lost the effort to steal food and drink and have fun at night!"
