Chapter 30
On this day, Mrs. Wang was checking accounts with Wang Xifeng, just buying those bricks, stones and green tiles has gone to 400,000 taels, which is far from enough, and there are rockeries in the garden, pavilions, etc., everywhere is asking for silver! Mrs. Wang watched the silver flowing every day, and she didn't know what to do! Wang Xifeng is also a goose plucker, and he can't wait to fish out the flowers when the money is in the oil pot, where is he willing to be thrifty! Therefore, the money is spending more and more powerfully.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai came in with the maid staggeringly.
"Sister! Yo, the phoenix girl is also there! Aunt Xue walked in with a smile, and when she saw that Wang Xifeng was also there, she greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, why is my aunt here today? What a rarity! Jin Chu'er still doesn't serve tea to Aunt Xue and Miss Bao. Mrs. Wang didn't speak, Wang Xifeng guessed that Mrs. Wang had been dissatisfied with the Xue family recently, so she smiled and spoke first. It's just that it's not a big deal.
Mrs. Wang asked Caiyun to put away the account book, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, her expression was light, "My sister and Bao Yatou are here, please sit down!" ”
Aunt Xue suddenly had a little sneer on her face, but Xue Baochai looked at ease, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Well, this tea tastes really good, it's not like the kind we are used to drinking, but it looks like a Western tribute, and the amount of silver required for one or two is no less than a hundred gold, but the palace lady rewarded it?" ”
Xue Baochai's untraceable compliments made Mrs. Wang very useful, and her expression when she looked at her was already a little affectionate, "In the end, it's a treasure girl, well-informed!" When I ate it, I didn't think it was any different from the tea we were used to. ”
Wang Xifeng is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he sees the wind and rudder, he immediately smiled and said: "What Mrs. said is very true!" In the end, Sister Baochai's mouth is pointy, unlike me, and she can't tell why she eats it! ”
Aunt Xue covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister, you praise Bao girl too much, what do you know about a person like her!" Then he smiled and took a wooden box from Tongxi behind him, opened it himself, and handed it to Mrs. Wang, "Sister, in order to welcome the Niangniang Provincial Family, your mansion is full of money. I originally thought about sending it as soon as possible, but in the end, Pan'er was not at home, after all, he was the head of the Xue family, and I had to discuss anything with him. So knowing that Pan'er was back, I told Pan'er about it. Who knew that Pan'er was in a hurry, Pan'er said that they were all relatives of the family, and when the aunt's house was really using money everywhere, how could it delay these days! Then he forced me to send a silver ticket. I said that it is now the most poisonous time of the sun, it is better to send it early tomorrow morning, but Pan'er is not allowed, saying that there is a priority, and immediately forced me to send it immediately, no, I had to send it with Bao Yatou. I also hope that my sister will not misunderstand that our mother and daughter are here on purpose! ”
Aunt Xue's singing and fighting this time was really wonderful, which not only made Mrs. Wang turn her anger into joy, but also quietly said good things for Xue Pan. Mrs. Wang thought about the news she had gotten, and Xue Pan did not come back early this morning, so she believed Aunt Xue's words for three points. "My sister is polite." After speaking, he took the wooden box and looked at it, and there were silver tickets of 10,000 taels inside, and there were dozens of them at a rough look.
Mrs. Wang's face suddenly changed, and she smiled, "Sister, did you take the wrong one?" What's going on here? ”
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "This amount is something I discussed with Pan'er, there are a total of fifty silver tickets from Datong Qianzhuang, and the denomination of each silver ticket is 10,000 taels!" Sister, don't excuse me, your mansion is now full of money, which is also a little bit of our family's heart. Left and right, our family is not short of these. ”
After Mrs. Wang heard this, the light in her eyes was even worse, she smiled and closed the wooden box, and did not refuse, and then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "It's my own sister in the end!" It's just more considerate than others! Pan'er is also a filial person, since this is the case, I will not shirk it. Sister rest assured! The last sentence is meaningful!
Wang Xifeng listened to it on the side, and his heart moved, it seems that the two aunts reached an agreement when they didn't know! But I also want to know that it must be about Baoyu's marriage! Wang Xifeng glanced at Xue Baochai quietly, and saw that her smile was still there, as if she couldn't understand the wit in Mrs. Wang's words. I can't help but feel a little worried, this cousin is not a simple person! Scheming, city government, ability, appearance, everything, if she becomes Bao Er's grandmother, then wouldn't she want to cook a rabbit and a dog?
Wang Xifeng hid the sharpness in his eyes when he lowered his head to drink tea! Hum! I finally got to where I am today, but I won't let people destroy it at will! If you want to achieve a good relationship, I prefer to approve of the old lady's achievement of the front edge of wood and stone! At the very least, Sister Lin's temperament will not compete with herself for the position of housekeeper!
After a while, Wang Xifeng was called away, she was originally a housekeeper, plus the matter of building a garden, she was busy all day long, and she didn't even have time to eat and drink!
After Wang Xifeng left, Aunt Xue put down the tea bowl and looked at Wang Xifeng's back, "Sister, where is the Feng girl, do you know?" ”
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly, "She doesn't know." Still, I guess she'll be able to guess a few. ”
Aunt Xue was a little worried, "Feng Yatou is now helping you take care of the house, the power of the housekeeper is so tempting, how can she be willing to let it go!" If she had an outside heart, then what had we discussed before? ”
Xue Baochai smiled, "Mom, don't think nonsense. In the end, this family, it is the aunt who is in charge, the old lady is old, and she should take care of her old age, and these trivial matters should not be worried about the old lady. Sister Feng is now just helping her aunt take care of the house. ”
Xue Baochai is very good at talking, although she is just that Aunt Xue is worried that Wang Xifeng will stop Jin Yu Liangyuan, but Xue Baochai doesn't say anything about it at all, only says that it is the housekeeper's business. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was a little more satisfied with Xue Baochai, "What Bao Yatou said is right!" Sister, don't worry! I know this by heart. A few days ago, Niang Niang ordered someone to reward me with a few sets of head faces, including a set of jadeite inlaid ruby heads, which is very suitable for Bao Yatou, Caiyun! ”
Mrs. Wang ordered Caiyun to take the set of heads, Xue Baochai looked at it, the jadeite and rubies in it were not enough, and there was no shortage of these at home, but in the end, it was made of jewelry, and the craftsmanship was exquisite.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's a good thing for my aunt. We should be very filial to our mother, but let our mother break the bank. Mom, I remember that we didn't get a good piece of mutton fat jade in our shop? I think it's just right to give the mother a send-off Guanyin, but there are no good craftsmen for a while, so there is a way for my aunt? "Come and don't be rude, 500,000 taels have been given, where is Xue Baochai reluctant to give up a piece of mutton fat jade.
Xue Baochai's words just hit Mrs. Wang's weakness, sending her son Guanyin, Yuanchun now lacks nothing, just a prince! If there is a prince again, then Yuanchun will really be guaranteed! I and Baoyu are also protected!
"In the end, the treasure girl understands my mind! Is! Hey, how can you take your stuff for nothing! So be it! How much, I'll take it! Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
Xue Baochai hurriedly waved his hand, "Aunt said this, we are really embarrassed." Now that we are living at my aunt's house, we are already embarrassed, how can we accept my aunt's money! Oh, I'm going to talk to Brother Bao, Mom, you can talk to your aunt! He pretended to be embarrassed and left.
Before leaving, Xue Baochai threw a look at Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue understood and said that she understood.
When Mrs. Wang saw it, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, she knew Aunt Xue's thoughts, and she was afraid that after giving the 500,000 taels, she would turn her face and not recognize anyone. In fact, they are overly worried. Originally, Xue Baochai was the most satisfactory candidate for daughter-in-law in her mind, dignified, generous, wealthy, and her niece, with the same heart as herself! With her by Baoyu's side, I can rest assured.
Now that she knows that the Xue family has a lot of property, Mrs. Wang is even more satisfied with this golden and jade relationship. After Baochai and Baoyu get married in the future, I will think of a way to unconsciously remove Pan'er, then the wealth of the Xue family will be my Baoyu's!
Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face deepened a little, and before the hesitant Aunt Xue could speak, Mrs. Wang grabbed Aunt Xue's hand, "My good sister!" I know what you want to do with your sister, don't worry! I will never be wronged! Now, Niangniang has ascended the throne for the first time, the foundation is unstable, and after a while, I personally went to tell Niangniang that I invited Niangniang's decree to give marriage! When the time comes, even if the old lady is unwilling, she will be helpless! Sister rest assured, in the future, this Rongguo Mansion will definitely be Baoyu and Baochai! ”
Aunt Xue was overjoyed, what she was worried about was that after Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang would have a better choice and would forget about it! Now that she has listened to Mrs. Wang's words, she can be regarded as relieved!
"With my sister, I'm relieved. Speaking of which, she is not afraid of her sister's jokes, Bao Yatou, her father loves Bao Yatou very much when she is a child, and she attaches a few more importance to her brother. Bao Yatou's dowry, her father has also been preparing since she was a child. In those years, all kinds of rare treasures were collected, and the treasury was full of things! Even if her father is gone, her brother and I are still preparing for the past few years. Although Pan'er is messing around, she still has the heart to love her sister. Wherever he saw something good, he was thinking about bringing one to his sister. Sister rest assured, although the dowry of the treasure girl in the future is not as good as that of the princess and the princess, it is enough to be worthy of the identity of the national mansion! ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was naturally a little happier, she also knew that when her brother-in-law Xue Jian was alive, how prosperous the Xue family was, and the dowry prepared for Bao Yatou at that time must not be ordinary. It's a pity that no matter how capable you are, once you die, it's not that you can't keep your family business!
Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue with a little more compassion in her eyes, although this sympathy was fleeting, but it was still captured by Aunt Xue, she felt a little strange in her heart, what does this mean, sister? When she looked at it again, there was no trace at all, and Aunt Xue couldn't help but reflect on it, thinking that she might have seen it wrong!
