In this way, the center of power in Jiafu was smoothly handed over in a seemingly peaceful atmosphere. When Wang Xifeng finally figured out the accounts in the house, he gasped, when will there be such a little bit of silver left in the public middle school! Wang Xifeng's troubled mess, Jia Lian walked in with Jia Rui in her arms, Ping'er behind her also came in with Jia Ran, and Sister Qiao followed closely behind Ping'er.

"What's wrong?" Since he got a baby son, Jia Lian didn't care about the rule of hugging his son and not holding his grandson, and he dangled happily with his son all day long.

Wang Xifeng pushed the ledger forward, "Look for yourself!" ”

Jia Lian reluctantly handed Jia Rui into Wang Xifeng's arms, opened the account book and took a breath, "There are only 50,000 taels left in the public middle school?" How could it be! Where did all that silver go? ”

Wang Xifeng sneered: "Hmph! Where did it go? It's not in the second wife's pocket! ”

Jia Lian sighed, "It's all in the second wife's pocket, and it's hard to take it out!" ”

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, "It's much better than before, now it's our housekeeper, and this family business will be ours in the future, we still have to find a way to save one or two in the future, and we can't leave an empty shell for our son!" ”

Jia Lian nodded, "What you said is very true. It's just that I still don't quite understand, so many years old lady has never said to let us take care of the house again, how can a good person call us the shots now? ”

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, thinking about how to spend and throttle, and when he heard Jia Lian say this, Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, "Before, it wasn't because there was no support at home, I was holding Niangniang wholeheartedly, and I wanted her to stand out and support the Jia family, but now, our family has real relatives such as the Marquis of Weiyuan, the King of Qi and the King of Anjun, isn't it much more useful than Niangniang!" How much money did our family sprinkle before and after for the mother! But how much benefit has Niangniang brought to our family? It's just an empty shell! ”

Jia Lian also understood a lot when Wang Xifeng said this, "No matter what, let's just live a good life in the future." It's just that I can't let the second room be so extravagant anymore, the second uncle raises a clear guest, buys a calligraphy and painting or something, it's almost a month's worth of money in the house. ”

Wang Xifeng nodded, "There are only a few masters in our family, there are so many maids and mothers-in-law, and the old man is attacking the first-class mighty general, but our family is still the spectrum of the Guogong Mansion." It's not okay to go on like this, I see, the first thing is to lay off people, and our family can't afford to support those idlers now. ”

Jia Lian glanced at her with a smile, "Yo, now this is a change of sex!" Didn't you use to be the most pompous? ”

Wang Xifeng glanced at him, stretched out his hand and took Sister Qiao'er, who was looking at him, in his arms, rubbed his heart and liver for a while, only to coax Sister Qiao'er to smile, and then took a rattle to tease his younger brothers and sisters. Wang Xifeng said: "Hmph, what I spent in the past was not my silver, but now it is all my son's and daughter's dowry money!" Of course I can't be extravagant! Okay, you take these little ancestors to play outside, I have to think about it, how to tell the old lady about this. Only if the old lady agrees, this thing can be done! ”

Jia Lian now has a son who has everything to do, and he took his son and his daughter to play outside. After a while, I heard a message from Rongxi Hall, saying that the master wanted to meet Brother Rui and Sister Ran. Jia Lian had no choice but to take the children with him. Although Sister Qiao'er didn't go, Sister Qiao'er now feels that she is a sister, and she refuses to leave her younger brothers and sisters lightly. Jia Lian also treats Sister Qiao the same, so she has a natural expression.

On the second day, when Mrs. Wang took Li Kun and Xue Baochai to ask Jia's mother for peace, Wang Xifeng, Shi Xiangyun, and Jia Xichun were already there. Now that they have moved to the East Courtyard, they are a little far away from Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall, so when they come to greet each morning, they are a little late. If you want to come early, you have to wake up early in the morning.

It's just that I pity Xue Baochai, now I have a big belly, and every morning before dawn, I have to go to Mrs. Wang to say goodbye, serve Mrs. Wang to change clothes and wash together, and after breakfast, I will go to Jia's mother to say goodbye. toss like this every day, but in just a few days, Xue Baochai, who has become much richer after pregnancy, has lost some weight.

"Didn't you say that? Baoyu's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so you don't have to come to me often to say goodbye, it is only right for you to take care of your body with peace of mind. When Jia Mu saw them coming, she frowned.

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xing, who was holding Sister Ran in her arms and smiling kindly, and said, "This is also the filial piety of Baoyu's daughter-in-law, and the old lady should bear it." ”

Jia Mu sighed, she didn't care here, the horizontal and vertical Bao girl was also close, but she heard that the Bao girl had to go to Mrs. Wang to serve before dawn every morning, and then come to herself. I can't rest after I ask for peace, and I have to go over to talk to Wang. What did Wang think in his heart?

Mrs. Wang's thinking is very simple, now that they are far away, they all say that the building near the water has the first moon, and they have already fallen behind. This matter of please must not be left behind. As for why Xue Baochai came to his side first, and then went to say goodbye to the old lady. Mrs. Wang thought more simply, isn't it natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law? Baoyu is far away now, and she is worried about Baoyu, so shouldn't she let Bao Yatou talk to herself about Baoyu's recent situation?

Xue Baochai also understood what Mrs. Wang meant, and in order to win herself over, Mrs. Wang vaguely told herself about her plans, thinking about Mrs. Wang's words, Xue Baochai's heart became more resolute than ever. To become a master, what I have never done, I hope my daughter can do it. In addition, the doctor also said that mothers should move around more, so that they will suffer less when they give birth in the future! Therefore, even if Xue Baochai was tired, he persevered.

"What Mrs. said is that filial piety to the old lady is what those of us who are juniors should do."

People's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have said so, and Jia's mother has nothing to say. Wang Xifeng stood on the side, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "The second wife is also here?" So, old lady, do you think what I said just now makes sense? Just while the second wife is also there, let's discuss it together. ”

Jia Mu nodded, "Well, in that case, you can talk to the second wife again!" ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Yes." Then he faced Mrs. Wang and continued: "That's right. Our lord attacked a first-class general. The plaque of the Rongguo Mansion is still hanging outside the gate of our house, in fact, this is not in accordance with the rules, but the ancestors are still there, and the saint will not be held accountable for the sake of the old lady. I think the second master also understands this truth, so he didn't dare to live in the main hall of Rongxi Hall, but lived in the east wing. Our lord also knows this truth, so he acts the same. But in this case, we can't take it for granted, spread it, others still think that our family doesn't understand the rules of etiquette! So what I mean is that our family can't put on the pomp of the Guogong Mansion anymore, not to mention anything else, the first one, the people in the family should be cut. Our family is a serious master, and there are only a few of them, but there are hundreds of people! This is also too extravagant! No, it makes people talk! Old lady, do you think that's the reason? ”

Before Jia Mu could speak, Mrs. Wang said first: "Feng Yatou's words are wrong! Brother Zhen of Dongfu is still a general of Sanpin Weilie, but doesn't Dongfu still hang the plaque of Guogong Mansion? No one said anything! Besides, our family is still the mother of the concubine! If you cut people for no reason, outsiders will know about it, and they will think that our family has fallen! Wouldn't it be a shame for the mother to spread it? ”

Wang Xifeng didn't back down at all, jokes, it's about the future of her baby son, so she won't back down! "The second wife's words are funny. In order to welcome the mother's relatives, our family poured the strength of the clan and built a large view garden, and now the girls do not live there, and the sky is there. Does the second wife know how many people in the capital say that our family is too extravagant? What's more, the mother said it herself when she was saving her relatives that day, and she must not be too extravagant in the future! Speaking of which, I also obey the meaning of the mother! ”

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, and wanted to say more, Xue Baochai quietly pulled her sleeve behind her, Mrs. Wang understood, looked up at Jia's mother, saw that she was not safe, took a deep breath, and endured it.

Seeing this, Jia Mu's face slowed down, "You're right!" Now that you are your housekeeper, since you think it is good and right, then you can do it boldly. What's the matter, the ancestor will carry it for you! ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Thank you, ancestor! Give me a few days, I immediately took out the charter and bothered the ancestors to open my eyes! If it's feasible, let's do that, and if there's anything inappropriate, I'll change it immediately! ”

Jia Mu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay." Let your sister Yun and the fourth sister also help to staff together! ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and patted his thigh, "Oh, the old ancestor is not the roundworm in my stomach, isn't it?" I'm asking the ancestor to ask for someone, but there are no good things for the ancestor to change, so I'm embarrassed."

Jia Mu was coaxed into laughter, "You are narrow, you are waiting for me here!" I think Sister Qiao is very good, if you really don't have good things to exchange, just exchange Sister Qiao'er. ”

Wang Xifeng blinked, "Did the old ancestor fall in love with Sister Qiao?" I can't be the master of this, you go and ask Sister Qiao'er yourself. ”

Jia Mu smiled again, "You don't know about me!" Sister Qiao'er now only has younger brothers and sisters in her eyes, where are there others. You ask her, where is she willing to agree, at first glance it is not sincere! ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, my ancestor, these words have wronged me." Hey, I remembered, when Brother Rui'er was full moon, my aunt sent a good thing, I looked at it and thought, this thing is only worthy of the ancestors, and I will let people send things to the ancestors when I go back. The old ancestor is satisfied with this, right? ”
