Chapter 46: Night Discussion

In the evening, Xing and Second Lady Wang rested in their rooms, and they both sent the little girl to inquire about Jia Yu and Jia Zheng. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jia Yu came out of the study, and was ready to go to the concubine's room to rest, raised his eyes and saw the little girl probing in front of the courtyard door, and couldn't help but scold with a dark face: "Sneaky, who told you to probe your brain there?" ”

The little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, she wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and she trembled forward and replied: "It was the wife who told me to come here to see if the master was done, and she said that she had something to ask the master to discuss." ”

When Jia Yu heard that Mrs. Xing was going to invite him over, his face suddenly turned bad, but for the sake of Mrs. Xing's always being very obedient to him, he thought about it and passed. Mrs. Xing's house had already asked someone to prepare a few delicate side dishes and scalded a pot of wine. Listen to the girl outside: "The master is here!" Hurriedly greeted him.

Jia Yu saw that the room was brightly lit and full of food and wine, and then looked at Mrs. Xing's petty and courteous appearance, and it was not easy to put on a face again. So Mrs. Xing waited for him to take off his coat, sat down at the table, and asked Mrs. Xing to pour a glass of wine for him, and then asked, "What did you ask to send someone to the outer courtyard to find me?" ”

Mrs. Xing also sat down at the table, and the girls in the room only left two close to wait at the table, and told Jia Yu about the housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the same court as Mrs. Wang during the day, who found out that they had filled their pockets with eight thousand taels of silver on the garden, Jia Yu's face suddenly changed, and he slapped the table and said, "Isn't this the opposite?" When the slave steals the master! It's time to send all these people to the official! Even if there is no one for a while, can't you still buy it? ”

Jia Yu said, and reprimanded Mrs. Xing again: "You are also a useless wreck, the housekeeper's mother-in-law steals things all day long, you don't even care about it, what do you want to do as the wife of the house?" ”

Mrs. Xing couldn't help but be very aggrieved and annoyed, and said with red circles: "This is not the old lady's person who favors the second room, and the daughter-in-law you married in also revolves around the second room all day long." I have the heart to heal the people below, who will listen to me? Is it good to make trouble in front of the old lady, it's not that I have no face? ”

Jia Yu flicked his chopsticks irritably and said, "You have no ability, you are usually careful, and you can't complain that the old lady handed over all the feeds to her daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law is close to the second room and not close to you, can't you say this? When she entered the door, she was Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, and this was the Jia family, not the Wang family. What should you do, mother-in-law, do you still need someone to teach you? ”

Mrs. Xing didn't dare to talk back, but she endured it very aggrieved, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and poured a glass of wine for Jia Yu, only then did she remember the original intention of inviting Jia Yu over. So while his patience was not exhausted, he hurriedly said: "There is one more thing, the housekeepers and mothers-in-law who are being tried today, I listen to their voices, like a few masters and two Lai housekeepers in Dongfu account for more of them." Could it be that they also took the silver of the garden to their own pockets? ”

When Jia Yu heard this, he calmed down and said to Mrs. Xing: "Tell me carefully, what do the people below say?" Mrs. Xing didn't dare to hide it, and told Jia Yu all the rumors she heard. Jia Yu was full of anger, sneered for a while and said, "I said, why are they so generous in their Dongfu's recent expenses? It is also to buy concubines and collect antique calligraphy and paintings. I heard that the Lai family has been much more prosperous recently, so that's what happened! With that, he threw his glass down on the table, got up and took his clothes and left.

Mrs. Xing's face immediately changed when she saw Jia Yu, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say anything when she wanted to persuade him, and she saw Jia Yu go out, and hurriedly sent the girl out to see: "Look where the master is going now, come and tell me immediately when you see it." ”

The girl hurriedly chased out, and Mrs. Xing stroked her chest, only feeling frightened: If Jia Yu took people to Dongfu at this time and made a fuss, even if it was found out that Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang had taken the money in the middle, Jia Mu and the others would not let her go. A crime of instigating Jia pardon and causing the house to be restless cannot escape.

With the current Jiafu's love for these reputations, and the power of the concubines in the palace, it is possible to divorce her and marry another. Mrs. Xing was so panicked that she ran around the house, and then heard the girl hurriedly run back and report, "The master has taken someone out of the house!" Suddenly frightened her almost into a dissipation, she fell softly on the chair and fell into a drowsy for a while, before she remembered in a daze that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng also had a share in the matter of the trial of the servants and the funds for the garden, and she and Wang Xifeng could not bear all the blame, so that these two people lost their good reputation in vain.

Mrs. Xing was dizzy and sweating, so she reluctantly struggled to get up and said to the girls, "Help me up and go to the second wife." The girls asked, "Do you want to go over now, I'm afraid that they are all asleep over there." ”

Mrs. Xing's face turned pale, and she said sharply: "Right now, go and report it!" The girls had never seen her face so ugly, and they all panicked, one went to get the clothes, the other went to get the stove, and they crashed into a mess in a hurry. Madame Xing took a sip of tea and calmed down, and asked the girl to serve her to put on a cloak, a hat to block the snow, a pair of clogs under her feet, a girl with a lantern in front of the light, and the three of the master and servant hurried to Mrs. Wang's residence.

Mrs. Wang's room was quiet, and the candles in the room looked cold. The little girls were all sent down, leaving only Caiyun and Jin Chuan to beat their legs beside them. Mrs. Wang leaned on the pillow and leaned on the kang, her eyelids drooping, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and the rosary in her hand kept dialing one by one. Caiyun and Jin Chuan half-knelt on the ground and gently beat Mrs. Wang's legs, not even daring to breathe. Mrs. Wang is in a bad mood, and if she annoys her, she will be beaten at least without saying anything, and the whole family will be affected by it.

If you want to say that Mrs. Wang is in a bad mood, it is because she sent the little girl to the outer courtyard to invite Jia Zheng back to discuss things, and of course she had to keep him in the room by the way. Who knew that Jia Zheng went to Aunt Zhao's room first, and heard that Mrs. Wang was looking for Jia Zheng, and Aunt Zhao actually said to the girl: "The master said that he was tired, let Mrs. have something to say tomorrow!" After listening to the little girl's reply, Mrs. Wang's face turned red with anger, and she slapped the little girl a few times before ordering her to be driven down.

Mrs. Xing walked over with the girl's hand, and the girl next to her asked the mother-in-law guarding the door in Mrs. Wang's courtyard, "Is your wife asleep?" ”

The mother-in-law looked inside, and Mrs. Xing followed the door to see that the main room inside was still lit, so she pushed away the girl's hand and rushed inside, pinching the handkerchief as she walked, and when she entered the threshold of Mrs. Wang, she couldn't help but shout: "It's terrible, something is going to happen!" ”
