Chapter 90: Grandma Liu is here
Who knew that when Wang Xifeng returned to the Wang family, she first suffered the faces of the servants below, and then was deceived by her brother Wang Renyu into giving her a few thousand taels of silver, and the brother and sister-in-law gave her a lot of faces all day long.

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to move out of the house left by his parents and bought a small yard outside to live in.
She has not suffered much since she was a child, and at this time, she will inevitably be a little stumbling. Wang Xifeng bought two or three little girls, and picked two small maids from the old servants in the family to do chores to guard the door.
When everything was settled, she slowly realized that something was wrong.
First of all, the menstrual period has not come for three or four months, and my body is gradually getting heavier. Wang Xifeng was a little suspicious in her heart, and asked the little girl to go out and invite a doctor to come over to take a look, only to know that she was five months pregnant.
Wang Xifeng didn't know whether to be happy or sad. When she was in Jiafu, she couldn't get it for several years when she was looking forward to her child. Only then did he leave Jia's house and found out that she was pregnant. Do you want to keep this child to raise by yourself, or send it to Jiafu, or be ruthless. Wang Xifeng made a difficulty.
She quietly asked the doctor who gave her pulse, and the doctor told her: "If you use medicine, you are afraid that your life will be in danger." ”
Wang Xifeng thought about it again and again, and finally decided to keep this child by his side. She began to take supplements every day, and asked Wen Po about some women's experience in giving birth, and of course, no one around her was allowed to contact the Jia family again.
A few months have passed, Qianyunxuan has made a name for itself in Kyoto, and the business is very good, and in a blink of an eye, it has opened a third shop, and Qingwen has devoted herself to the shop.
Baoyu also often took Lin Daiyu out to see the operation in the workshop, and then look at the business of the shop.
Because of the fear of sneaking into the workshop to steal the formula, the people used by Qianyunxuan were all little girls bought from outside, and the important positions were used by Lin Daiyu from the former residence.
Qingwen, Qiuwen and Zijuan, who participated in Suzhou at that time, each received some dividends, and the biggest profit was shared equally by Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.
In the new Jia Mansion, Tanchun came out to take care of things with the support of everyone, and Yingchun was her assistant, dividing the huge mansion into areas, and each person was in charge of one place.
In the large open space, people bought some herbs, medicinal herbs and other precious and beautiful plants to plant, and let the mothers-in-law contract to serve them, and pay some silver every year.
Although the food and drink expenses in various parts of the Jia family are compact, with the silver that Baoyu subsidizes to Jia Zheng every once in a while, it is still passable.
Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing saw that although the account was empty, it was still supported by silver, they were happy to pretend not to know.
Mother Jia still couldn't look at it, so she called Jia Zheng and said: "I don't know what you used to chew at home, I still have some silver here, you can use it first." Those useless old things at home should also find a way to sell them, and they should be put there to occupy a place, not to mention, I am afraid that they will attract people's attention. ”
Jia Zheng resigned for a long time, but at the insistence of Jia's mother, he had to take nearly 10,000 taels of silver given by Jia's mother.
Although the Jia family has no glory outside, there is still a concubine in the palace, and there is a county lord living in the house, and the people in the antique shop do not dare to lower the price too much. Dozens of pieces of porcelain, jade, and screen ornaments were sold piecemeal in exchange for 30,000 taels of silver, and the books were wide again.
It just so happened that at this time, there were several upstarts in Beijing who wanted to marry their daughters and daughters-in-law, and when they heard that the Jia family was selling their property, they hurriedly asked someone to introduce them. After picking and choosing, I briefly negotiated the price in two sentences, and these companies divided the rest of the things. Jia Zheng calculated carefully, and sold a total of 170,000 taels of silver, and the embarrassing dilemma was solved at once.
His heart still hurts a little. Those antiquities were slowly purchased by the Jia family for several generations, and the price when they were bought alone was more than that. If it weren't for such a critical juncture for the safety of the whole family, he would be reluctant to sell these things.
With the silver in hand, Jia Zheng quietly asked someone to buy two shops, five Zhuangzi, and some more sacrificial fields. In just half a year, the Jia family can live on the dividends of eating rent and shops.
The livelihood was worry-free for a while, and there were not many things to do in the Ministry of Industry, so Jia Zheng put most of his energy on guiding Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan and Jia Huan to study. Jia Baoyu is a little older, and he has experienced a political turmoil with Jia Zheng, and his heart has calmed down, and he doesn't need Jia Zheng's supervision, and he works hard every day.
Although Jalan is young, he is also shrewd by nature. He saw that Jia Baoyu was working hard, but he refused to fall behind, and he read and wrote seriously every day, like a little adult. made Jia Zheng praise this grandson.
As for Jia Huan, he saw that Baoyu's articles were getting better and better, and Jia Zheng often praised them and used them as a model for him and Jia Lan, and he couldn't help but feel resentful. Every day, he either said that Jia Zheng was biased in front of Aunt Zhao, or made up some crazy words to plant on Baoyu. Then in the study, he stained Baoyu's books, knocked over his tea bowl, sprinkled the ink in his inkstone, and secretly tore up the articles he was going to hand over to Jia Zheng to read.
Jia Baoyu was annoyed, but the Jia family's family motto had a friendly brother, and he claimed to be a brother, so he had to endure it.
On this day, it is already in October. A donkey cart came outside the Jia family's new house, Wang Gou'er drove the cart, and Grandma Liu and Ban'er sat on the donkey cart. Wang Gou'er walked around to a small corner door, and Grandma Liu was still sitting in the car and asked, "Have you inquired clearly, is this really the new house of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?" ”
Wang Gou'er patiently replied: "After inquiring clearly, don't worry about it." Isn't it, just wait until I knock on the door and ask. ”
Grandma Liu stopped talking, and looked around with her arms around the board.
Wang Gou'er knocked on the door, and a half-sized girl came out, seeing that it was a stranger, and was startled: "Who are you?" What are you doing in front of our door? ”
When Grandma Liu heard this voice, she raised her eyes and saw that it was the little girl in Wang Xifeng's house, named Feng'er.
She hurriedly called out on the donkey cart: "Miss Feng'er, it's me." As he spoke, he slowly moved down from the donkey cart, and the king dog was beside him.
Feng'er showed half of her body and looked at it, recognized Grandma Liu coming, and said, "Why is your old man here?" Now this house is not as good as before, the second grandmother has gone back to her parents' house, and many people have left, and Aunt Zhou is not here. ”
Grandma Liu smiled and came over to congratulate her: "This year's year is good, and a lot of things have been collected in the field, but I didn't dare to keep them for myself, so I picked a few top-notch things to present to the grandmothers in the house." Please go and report to Miss Ping, and say that Grandma Liu is coming. ”
Feng'er looked at the donkey cart behind Grandma Liu, and sure enough, there were a few bags of things, so she said "wait", closed the door and went back to report.
Ping'er received the news, and didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she asked Feng'er to take the house by the corner gate to rest, and she went to Mrs. Wang to ask for advice.
When Ping'er arrived at Mrs. Wang's room, she learned that Mrs. Wang had gone to Jia's mother's courtyard, so she had to go to Jia's mother again.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Grandma Liu was coming, she thought for a while and said, "If you ask her if she has any difficulties, I will help her a little more." If she came to be a relative, she would be left in the kitchen for a meal. ”
Ping'er hurriedly told Mrs. Wang about Grandma Liu's intention. Mother Jia happened to come out of the inner room, listened to the two of them talking lively, and asked, "Which Grandma Liu?" ”
