37. Give Mrs. Wang a blow to her heart
As soon as everyone in Rongqing Hall saluted the old lady, a maid announced: "Second Master Lian and Second Grandma Lian are here." ”
The old lady closed her mouth with joy: "Let them in quickly." ”
Xifeng is bright-looking, always has a light smile on her face, and slapped Mrs. Wang hard yesterday, and the old lady is very happy at this time. Since the prince Teng returned to Beijing to be the envoy of the Beijing Camp Festival, Mrs. Wang has become more and more arrogant for more than a year, Xifeng came just right, and the old lady looked at Xifeng with a smile.
A mother-in-law had already put the futon, and Xifeng and Jia Lian knelt down first to offer tea to Mrs. Jia, calling them "old ancestors". Mrs. Jia said "Okay," and seemed to look at Xifeng very lovingly, and then looked at Jia Lian, although she thought that Jia Lian was disobedient most of the time, but at this time she also felt that the two young couples were a beautiful couple, and they looked beautiful. After drinking tea and giving a greeting gift, the old lady smiled and said, "Go and give tea to your father and mother." Xifeng took out the share for the old lady from the embroidery held by Qing'er, and went to give tea to Jia Yu and his wife.
Xifeng and Jia Lian knelt down in front of Mrs. Jia Xing again. Xifeng brought the teacup above his head: "The daughter-in-law gives tea to the master." Jia Yu smiled and took it, and carefully looked at Xifeng's eyes, he didn't see anything wrong, and he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law here, he didn't have high requirements for his daughter-in-law, she was good-looking, had a good temperament, and could give birth to a grandson quickly.
Then Xifeng and Jia Lian changed positions, and Xifeng held the teacup above his head very respectfully: "The daughter-in-law gives tea to his wife." Mrs. Xing hurriedly took it, and was a little flattered to see that Xifeng was so respectful to her. Mama Qian turned out to be a meeting gift from Jia Yu and his wife to Xifeng, and her mother-in-law led Xifeng Jia Lian to give tea to Jia Zheng and his wife.
Mrs. Wang originally hoped that Xifeng would come in to help her envelop Jia Lian, but who would have thought that Xifeng's dowry for yesterday's wedding was eighty-eight, sixteen more than she had back then! They are all girls married from the Wang family, but the gap is so big, this slap is really loud, and Mrs. Wang's face is a little ugly at this moment. You must know that since Xifeng's dowry list was sent over a few days ago, the house has begun to discuss: Lian's second grandmother's dowry is really rich, and she has a fight with his wife back then, I don't know how much it has been raised.
Mrs. Wang thought at the time, Xifeng is her niece, and she has no father, how much can the dowry exceed her? Like her, everyone never expected that Xifeng's dowry would be much richer than Mrs. Wang's, and it was really not in vain that Wang Ziteng and his wife loved Xifeng. In such a comparison, Mrs. Wang had a lot of dislike for Xifeng, and she began to calculate in her heart that she wanted to give Xifeng some color to see, and the provincial Xifeng relied on the favor of the Wang family, so she forgot where she was now, and forgot whose face she should see in the future. No matter how much Wang Ziteng and his wife hurt her, their hands couldn't reach out to Rongguo Mansion.
It's just that what Mrs. Wang didn't expect was that she hadn't figured out how to secretly give Xifeng a taste, and Xifeng slapped her again.
"My nephew and daughter-in-law gave tea to the second wife." Although Xifeng's movements looked as respectful as before, it made Mrs. Wang feel the urge to throw her a big mouth. And the embroidery that Xifeng gave her was no better than that given to Mrs. Xing!
Second wife? Since the second room lived in Rongxi Hall, how many years has no one called her second wife?
Mrs. Wang's hands almost trembled with anger, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart, and glanced at Xifeng deeply, this niece is very good, so blind, she feels good when she looks back.
Jia Zheng didn't care about how Xifeng called Mrs. Wang at first, but when Xifeng knelt in front of him and held a tea cup and said respectfully: "When my nephew and daughter-in-law gave tea to the second master," Jia Zheng was almost choked to death, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He is the master of this mansion, the master who lives in Rongxi Hall, when did he become the second master? This niece and daughter-in-law don't know? Or is it deliberate?
Jia Zheng looked at Xifeng again, but found that she was very serious and strict, as if she didn't know that she had called the wrong name. Jia Zheng thought about it, he couldn't meet a junior who had just passed the door, this nephew and daughter-in-law were probably more stupid than his daughter-in-law, and she was a little stunned.
Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing finally realized that something was wrong at this moment, and their daughter-in-law who had just entered the door was very particular about the names of everyone. Jia Yu repeatedly bearded, and he glanced at Mrs. Xing for the first time and smiled. Mrs. Xing was even more flattered. This daughter-in-law is so good to her, she gives her face like this. Just thinking about it, Mrs. Xing felt that the future would be even more sad, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while. I am happy that I married a good daughter-in-law who is with her, but I am worried that the one in Rongxitang is really not easy to mess with.
The old lady was even happier to go, this is exactly what she wanted to see, and she actually opened her mouth to introduce Jia Zhu and his wife, Yuan Chun, Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and others one by one. Xifeng greeted them one by one, and gave the meeting gift she had prepared to everyone. Jia Baoyu wanted to say a few more words to Xifeng, but when he thought that his father was beside him, he quietly endured it and decided to wait for his father to leave.
Sure enough, the old lady spoke: "Let the Feng girl stay here to talk to me, and you all go back." Jia Yu and Jia Zheng saluted and retreated. Mrs. Xing and Jia Yu walked in front, only to feel that today was particularly blue, and Jia Yu couldn't help humming a little song and pacing slowly. Mrs. Jia Zheng was blocked by him for a while, and finally arrived at a more spacious place, but Jia Yu was still behind and kindly asked him: "What is the second master doing in such a hurry?" The angry Jia Zheng flicked his sleeves and left.
In Rongxi Hall, the old lady asked Xifeng to sit down in front of her, took Xifeng's hand and looked left and right very satisfied: "If Feng'er is not used to anything in the future, just tell your aunt and let her change it for you." The old lady smiled and cared about Xifeng, but in fact, she was reminding Mrs. Xifeng that she was a family member.
As soon as Jia Zheng left, Baoyu's concern for the girl's family was revealed, and the sisters squeezed directly to Xifeng, looking up at Xifeng with a chubby face: "Sister Feng's eyes are so good-looking." ”
Xifeng smiled, and didn't show any dislike for Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu is the old lady's sweetheart, and if you want to show favor to the old lady, you must temporarily accept Baoyu. She couldn't offend the old lady and Mrs. Wang as soon as she arrived in Jiafu. There is a deep contradiction between the big room and the second room, and Xifeng himself doesn't like Mrs. Wang very much, so he decided to show favor to the old lady first. Wait for her to gain a foothold, and then talk about other things. It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Wang to let her be a high-level maid like Wang Xifeng in the original book.
Early this morning, Xifeng had already made his attitude clear. Sure enough, the old lady liked her even more, and Mrs. Jia Xing was even more happy. It's a good start.
Xifeng talked to the old lady and the sisters in Rongqing Hall, and the old lady gradually became a little tired, so Xifeng said goodbye with interest.
Her current residence is the same as the original book, the small courtyard behind Rongxi Hall. As soon as Xifeng returned to the courtyard, she took the dowry list and went through the dowry list first, and then looked at the furnishings in the house, and if there was anything she didn't like and couldn't get used to, she would decorate it.
Taking a closer look, Xifeng was taken aback, her uncle and aunt really made a lot of money, and her dowry was worth 300,000 taels of silver, even if she and Jia Lian were separated from Rongguo Mansion now, it was enough to eat for a lifetime. She had thought that the dowry list was just a few pages, but now she realized that it was wrong when she looked closely. Her dowry list is a thick book, okay. Inside is Lin's beautiful hairpin flower, where is the position of the wedding shop, and who is in charge; Where is Zhuangzi and how many acres it occupies; There is also a hot spring Zhuangzi that Xifeng has never heard of; After asking Mama Qian, I found out that her aunt specially repaired it for her, and it was on Luoxia Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital thirty miles, the scenery was very good, and when Xifeng read the dowry list, an hour had passed.
Mama Qian came in again and replied: "Grandma, your wedding party has all four rooms and people have packed up, and now the people in our yard are waiting outside to kowtow to you and the second master." The slave has prepared a chair and coffee table for you under the porch outside. The second master has just returned from the old man's yard. ”
"Okay, when the master comes, let's go out to meet everyone together." Xifeng was still looking at the dowry list, and was thinking about taking out something to decorate the house. Just thinking about it, the maid opened the curtain, and Jia Lian came in with a smile in her eyes.
Xifeng raised his head, met his smiling eyes, got up and untied his cloak for him personally: "What makes Ye so happy?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that my father called me over and explained a few words." Thinking of Xifeng's appearance in Rongqing Hall this morning, Jia Lian couldn't help but be happy. I think he was worried when he was a child, in case he listened to his father's words and married Xifeng, Xifeng would be in trouble with the second room. Who thought that his daughter-in-law would slap the face of the second room as soon as she got married, and she was really relieved. This daughter-in-law is really well married. The person in the second room calculated so much to let him go to Xifeng, he must not have expected that he would lift a stone and hit his own foot.
"Everyone outside is waiting, let's go out." Jia Lian actually held Xifeng's hand and pulled her out directly. Qian Mama only acted as usual, Qing'er and the others all lowered their heads slightly, and their eyes did not squint.
After the two of them sat down under the corridor, Mama Qian, Qing'er and others also stood in the courtyard with everyone, and then kowtowed to Xifeng Jia Lian to congratulate them on their wedding. Only then did Xifeng realize that except for the people she brought over, the people who served Jia Lian in this courtyard were all men, this realization made Xifeng very happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but give him a bright smile when he looked at Jia Lian. Jia Lian smiled back: "Let's talk about it." With that, he picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely.
Xifeng nodded, his eyes scanned the kneeling people back and forth, and then slowly drank a cup of tea and said: "In the future, everyone will be on an errand, and if you do a good job, you will be rewarded." ”
Everyone beat the drums in their hearts, can't they do it? Everyone thought that Xifeng was just a slight pause, and then they were going to say, "If you can't do it, how to ......", but they didn't expect Xifeng to let everyone get up next, and then let Mama Qian show everyone a reward.
And when they had received the reward, they knew that it was a tael of silver without opening it. They should be happy with such a rich reward, but why do they always feel that something is wrong in their hearts?
Everyone forgot to thank them for a while, and they couldn't help but peek at Xifeng. One by one, they all said in their hearts: Second grandmother, what if you can't do it? Do you punish or not? Say it!
But Xifeng just didn't speak, and sat with a dignified face as usual.
