306 The three hundred and sixth round
You know...... Here, Mrs. Zhang was entangled in her heart, and did not express it for the time being, and said that Jia Zheng and the others in the second room were much more lively when they returned to the room. In these two rooms, because he and Jia's mother are now living together in Rongxi Hall, it is much faster to return to the room than the big room. On weekdays, this Mrs. Wang enters and exits the hall and is surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, with a little arrogance and pride on her face. Today, I saw that Mrs. Wang's face was pale and her eyebrows were raised, Not only that, but even Jia Zheng was in a hurry with anger on his face. Although the maids who followed did not know what was going on, they guessed that it should be their old lady who had lost face by saying the wrong thing to the old lady, and everyone accepted the smile on their faces, and followed closely with bated breath.
Along the way, Mrs. Wang was really depressed and aggrieved, but she couldn't show it, so she had to grab the handkerchief in her hand and clutch it. Returning to the room with Jia Zheng, the little maid hurriedly served tea, Jia Zheng picked up the tea, and put it down again, looked at Mrs. Wang who was standing on the side and said angrily: "Hmph, Mrs. is in a good mood, and she still has the heart to taste maple dew tea." ”
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The master has worked hard for everything, and this tea was specially prepared for the master." ”
"Calm your spirit, be good, you are always filial, reasonable, gentle and virtuous. Naturally, it is inconvenient for you to talk to me about that kind of thing, so you have to helplessly blow the wind in your ears with the old lady. Now it's good, you have got your wish, the old lady thinks you are the most sensible and filial, but I, who is a son, are far less far-sighted than you!" Jia Zheng was angry, and he said sharply regardless of the presence of the maid's subordinates.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was angry and angry, and she was infinitely aggrieved in her heart, so she hurriedly argued: "How dare I act behind the old lady's back, I just fill up the numbers in front of the old lady on weekdays." Is such a great matter as a woman in my inner house thinking about it? I hope the lord won't be mistaken. ”
"Yes, yes, it must be that I am wrong, how can Mrs. Xianneng be wrong. Anyway, it's wrong and good, I'm going to move out too. You are virtuous and filial, and you are deeply favored by the old lady, and now you are in charge of the housekeeper's errand in this house, and it is also a good thing to be left by the old lady's side at that time. Jia Zheng saw that Mrs. Wang didn't even admit her mistakes, and she was even more angry.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang wanted to cry even more, so she had to say again: "I can learn from the old man's world, if the old man moves out, Zhu'er and I will naturally follow suit." ”
"Okay, of course I know that you are sensible and virtuous, this time you can follow the old lady's words, and clean up, so as not to make people laugh when you are in a hurry. After saying that, Jia Zheng got up, walked out of the house without looking back, and went to the study. A room of maids and women saw that the second master was so angry at first, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and they all slipped out of the room silently, but they didn't dare to go far, and when they heard Jia Zheng say something like moving out, they were all shocked, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.
Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Zheng in a daze, and only came back to her senses after half a ring. I was hateful and angry in my heart, this matter was a disaster that was unwarranted, and I wished I could live in this Rongxi Hall forever, where did I still have such a mind? Originally, I was expecting to wait until I went back to the house to discuss with Jia Zheng to see if there was a way to make the old lady change her mind, but who would have thought that after Jia Zheng returned to the house, he would take a meal out of his anger first. Mrs. Wang's anger was all in her chest, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then fell to the ground with a "snap", and shouted: "Are you all dead, do you dare to deal with the master with herbal tea?"
The maid standing outside the house was shocked when she heard Mrs. Wang drop the tea bowl in the house, and it seems that the second wife is angry today. But it was on duty again, I didn't dare to do it, so I had to go into the house, Mrs. Wang's personal maid Chaoxia trembled and held another cup of tea and served it, Mrs. Wang picked it up and only hit the lips, then dropped the teacup again, and said angrily: "You are lazy and slippery on weekdays, I am too lazy to care about you, and now even a cup of tea is not good, what is the use of me keeping you, it is better to send it clean, I don't have to worry." ”
When Chaoxia heard this, she fell to her knees and cried and pleaded: "Mrs., please beg Mrs. to spare this experience." ”
Everyone saw that Mrs. Wang was angry, and they didn't dare to come forward to ask for a favor for Chaoxia, today Mrs. didn't know what she had done, she fell out of favor with the old lady, and annoyed the second master, if she went to intercede this time, maybe she would also be angry, maybe she would be thrown out. They all knelt down and remained silent. The maid and lady in the house knelt on the ground, and Mrs. Wang sat alone in the hall sulking.
When I was young, someone spread the word under the corridor, saying that the Xue family in Jinling had sent someone to come, and Mrs. Wang suppressed her anger and punished the maid on duty today for a month's money. This time, the people sent by the Xue family not only sent a gift to Jiafu for three festivals and two birthdays, but also brought a letter to Mrs. Wang. The letter was written by Mrs. Wang's sisters, and now because her sister married into the Xue family, she went to Jinling. However, the four families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are all related, and they are both prosperous and lossy, and I don't know what the reason for this letter from the Xue family is? Mrs. Wang thought about it and hurriedly unfolded the letter. After taking a closer look, there was a little smile on his face, and he hurriedly rewarded the messenger.
Shi Fei'er was crooked on the chaise longue, and a maid next to her handed the peeled oranges to her hand, Shi Fei'er ate slowly, listening to the two little mustaches talking to herself.
"Back to the old lady's words, the second lady went back with a bad face, as if she had dropped two sets of tea bowls because she thought the tea was hot. "
Shi Fei'er nodded, today she poured a pot of bitter tea for the second wife, it is normal for her to be angry, if she is not angry, she will be surprised. It just happened to take advantage of this incident to take a closer look at what Mrs. Wang's temperament was, whether it was really as recorded in the Dream of Red Mansions, and her face was merciful and ruthless. However, I can understand a little bit of her reluctance to move and change houses, after all, she lives in Rongxi Hall, and her face is like that of a housemother in and out of the pomp.
However, Shi Fei'er still felt that since he was not satisfied with what others gave, it was better to earn it himself. If you can only have the ability to take what others give, don't be picky. However, today's performance of the eldest lady surprised her a little, and she was not shocked, and she was deeply in the city. Thinking about it, although Jia's mother was satisfied with her two daughters-in-law before, partiality is still a common thing, but she herself feels that she is not too biased. But in the eyes of others, it may not be as she thinks. That Mrs. Zhang experienced Jia's mother's previous injustice, and now she has experienced this again, and she doesn't know what she thinks in her heart.
However, this time Shi Feier was too lazy to think about the two rooms, in order to let the two rooms return to you, she had been working hard for several days, and now that this matter has finally made progress, Shi Feier is also happy to breathe a sigh of relief to herself. If you are in a good mood, the amount of food is good, and you have drunk an extra bowl of Bimi porridge in the evening, and the bluffing big girl who is waiting with her is busy persuading, and Shi Fei'er is just right.
Although Shi Fei'er has borrowed this Jia mother's body for some time, her discomfort and smile on this Jia mother have gradually become calm and acceptable, and when others keep calling themselves old ladies or mothers or even ancestors, they will not tremble in their hearts. But it doesn't mean that you are completely used to this body. After all, this body fifty miles away is cold to a soul in his twenties, even if he is mentally prepared, it still doesn't match well. For example, Shi Fei'er is not very comfortable now, she is happy to eat more, her stomach is uncomfortable, and she is so hot that she can't sleep. It was cold at night, and I walked around the house a few times, but to no avail. When lying on the bed tossing and turning, Shi Fei'er regretted it a little, why couldn't she control her greed? After tossing for an unknown amount of time, she really couldn't sleep, so Shi Fei'er got up, walked to the window, and simply pushed the window open, intending to sit under the window to take a breath.
Shi Fei'er was not used to having someone keep vigil in the house when she was asleep, so she sent her maids and asked her to wait outside, and if she had something to do, she would call her to serve. At this time, it was the dead of night, and Shi Fei'er didn't want to call a girl to serve her because she opened a window, so she walked to the window and stretched out her hand to push the window open. I knew that I had just opened the window, and I saw a black mass coming straight towards the door in front of me, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to the eye. Shi Fei'er secretly said that it was not good, she only had time to close her eyes and block her hands, thinking that she would definitely suffer this blow today.
Jia Yu said with a serious face: "There is no such thing. But I have a few words I want to ask this Lai Da in court, I don't know if Lord Fang can?" Seeing Fang Zhongzheng nodding, Jia Yu paced a few steps to the kneeling Lai Da: "You said that I put the Yinzi money, so how much profit does the Yinzi money release in January?"
"About eighteen hundred taels. ”
"One thousand eight hundred taels, heh, I didn't expect my housekeeper to really make money. It seems that it is too condescending to let you only let me be the housekeeper of Rongguofu. Jia Yu sneered, and said sharply: "But Steward Lai, you also underestimate me Jia Yu." Jia Yu took off the fan bag he was carrying, and spread the fan with his hand, "This fan should have been bought by you with me, do you remember how much it spent?"
Lai Da raised his eyes and saw that this fan was indeed entered by himself when he accompanied Jia Yu to Wenhui Pavilion, and it cost five hundred taels of silver. Lai Da didn't understand why Jia Yu would ask something irrelevant about him, so he raised his head and opened his mouth but didn't reply.
"Lai Da Butler is busy every day for profit, so naturally this housekeeper has no time to take care of his business. I tell you, I remember it was five hundred taels. Ye rose in January, and it is common to buy such five and eight handfuls. Your mere 1,800 taels of silver is a lot of money, but it's not worth letting your grandfather be fooled by this little profit. Jia Yu closed the fan and said: "My ancestors of Rongguo Mansion followed the birth and death of the emperor to earn today's situation for their descendants. Besides, as a first-class general, I have my own fortune and ancestral property, so I have nothing to do to do such a thing that damages yin and morality?
Seeing that Jia Yuyi was righteous and stern, and sarcastically said that he had lost his yin virtue, and this time he suffered retribution again, so he was so angry that he hurriedly quibbled: "This matter was instructed by the master to do it, and the little one remembered that the master wanted to enter an ancient fan because the money was not handed, so he moved this idea. 166 Reading Network
