Chapter 418: Rongguo Mansion at Night
The lights are on.
Wang Xifeng came out of the bath, wrapped her delicate body in a dark purple robe, and carried her to the outer hall by Ping'er, leaning lazily on the couch, and immediately a maid came over with a few dry towels and carefully dried her hair.
Another maid stepped forward and picked up two long legs like the white jade pillars of the sky, just waiting to be scrutinized and kneaded.
"Alright."
Wang Xifeng shrank his legs into his robe, leaving only two tender lotus roots with their feet exposed, and casually ordered: "A few of you go down and wait first." ”
The four maids and two mothers-in-law immediately bowed to the door.
When there was no one left and right, Wang Xifeng made another color, Ping'er immediately stepped forward to close the door, came back and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, do you have any private things that you want me to do?" ”
"It's not a big deal."
Wang Xifeng sighed, and said helplessly: "The eldest master let out the wind at noon, saying that he was going to ask the ancestor for a mandarin duck to be his aunt in a few days - but I knew that it was an arrogant master, but I was afraid that he might not be willing to comply with this matter, and it would be another turmoil at that time." ”
Ping'er and Mandarin Duck are the most kind, and they once heard her belittle Jia Yu's pig and dog, so when she heard this, she suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What does grandma mean?" ”
Wang Xifeng lowered his voice and said: "You go and tell Mandarin Duck, if she is willing to pay it back, if she is unwilling, quickly find a suitable master, and find the old lady to ask for a grace to marry - otherwise, when the eldest master finds out about this, it will not be so easy for her to get out." ”
If it is a maid next to her, it may be a little difficult to ask the master to marry her, but the mandarin duck is the most favored by the old lady, and she is afraid that she is closer than the two granddaughters of Yingchun and Tanchun.
Therefore, as long as the mandarin duck makes up her mind, it is not difficult to ask Jia's mother to marry.
As soon as Ping'er heard that this was the case, she hurriedly prepared to go to the mandarin duck to report the news.
"Come back."
Wang Xifeng stopped her again and ordered: "Take one of the silk silks that Niangniang rewarded two days ago and bring it out." ”
Ping'er is a little inexplicable now, the shark silk yarn is a tribute in the South China Sea, also known as dragon yarn, the most precious, a horse costs hundreds of taels of silver.
If it weren't for the few horses that Concubine Xiande gave down two days ago, even if it was someone like Rongguofu, I am afraid that he might not be able to get it.
But since it was rewarded by Concubine Xiande, the old lady was naturally the first one, so there was no reason to send it to her again.
But it can be said that it is a reward for mandarin ducks......
This one hundred and ten taels of silver is expensive, how can a maid in a mandarin duck afford it?
"It's not for mandarin duck appreciation."
Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's hesitation, so he frowned and said: "It's been more than half a month since I came to Wang to go south, but I haven't even sent it back. ”
"This ......"
Although Ping'er wished he could meet Sun Shaozong, it was just Jia Lian's jealousy and jealousy several times, and as his nominal person in the house, how could he blatantly collude with Sun Shaozong?
"What are you afraid of?!"
Seeing Ping'er's hesitation, Wang Xifeng immediately straightened his delicate body, and regardless of the trembling spring in the robe, he raised his eyebrows and scolded: "If he still dares to mess around, I will live in the ancestral hall and see how he will explain to the ancestor at that time!" ”
Ping'er saw that she was annoyed, so she didn't dare to say more than half a word, so she hurriedly took a shark silk yarn from the private vault, went outside to let the little maid help hold it, and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he collided with Jia Lian head-on.
Ping'er was just about to bow down to the luggage, Jia Lian sank his face first, and scolded angrily: "This big night, where do you want to fool around?" ”
Since the last time Ping'er sang against him in front of everyone, Jia Lian's attitude towards Ping'er has plummeted.
"Back to the second master's words."
Ping'er calmly pointed behind her and said, "It was the second grandmother who asked the slave maid to send something to the old lady." ”
Where did Jia Lian know what 'shark silk yarn'?
Seeing that the little maid was holding a piece of silk, she didn't care too much, and only sneered: "You are really attentive, but now I am afraid that there is only the second grandmother in your eyes, and there is no second master like me, right?" Anyway, when someone is stepped on one day, don't blame the second master for not missing the old love! ”
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and went to the outer study without entering the door.
Seeing Jia Lian drifting away, Ping'er silently groaned for a while, and secretly said that he seemed to mean something, could it be that which maid in the courtyard climbed the high branch silently?
The reason why she suspected that there was a maid 'stealing her mouth' inside, not that Jia Lian was going to 'introduce' some newcomers from the outside, was because if she was hired from the outside, it would naturally be more expensive than the maid in the room, and she wouldn't need the words 'stepping underneath' at all.
Since these four words are used, it is obvious that the person referred to in Jia Lian's words is not as good as Ping'er's original identity.
After figuring out this section, Ping'er had the heart to go back to report it, but he was afraid that the meeting with Sun Shaozong would be delayed.
Therefore, after a little hesitation, he temporarily suppressed this matter in his heart, picked up the lantern and hurried to the old lady.
But when it came to the old lady's courtyard, Ping'er called out the mandarin ducks, relayed Wang Xifeng's words one by one, and said with concern: "This matter must not be delayed, where to go, you have to make up your mind quickly." ”
"What's the idea?!"
When the mandarin duck heard the news, he was so annoyed that he bit his lower lip, and said with a resolute face: "Even if I twist my hair and become a sister-in-law, I will never be his aunt!" ”
"It's all at this time, what's the use of what are you still ruthless?"
Ping'er grabbed her, and said angrily: "Hurry up and think about which one you like, and ask for the grace of the ancestors as soon as possible, which is the right reason!" ”
Speaking of 'favorite' and 'grace', the mandarin duck's face suddenly showed some redness, pinching the handkerchief period Ai Ai, and no longer saw the cool appearance in the past.
It took a long time before I saw her put a name on her lips.
It's just that Ping'er preemptively said: "This is not possible!" Don't forget that he has just been taught a lesson by the second master, and now he is the ancestor, and I am afraid that it is not good to stuff women into his house! ”
It turned out that the mandarin duck was in his mouth and almost confided, but it was Jia Baoyu, the public lover in Rongguo Mansion.
It's just that after being denied by Ping'er, where is the mandarin duck willing to admit it?
Hurriedly stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Bao Er Ye is three years younger than me, how can I think of him?!" ”
said so, but thinking that what Ping'er said was not unreasonable, she couldn't help but show a little loss on her face.
After a long silence, he suddenly shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm pretending to be high, but up and down in this house, I really can't find half of it." ”
In the past, Ping'er may not agree with her statement, but if Sun Shaozong is used as a yardstick, this statement is not false at all.
"Then pick it outside!"
Ping'er did not hesitate to instigate: "Choose that poor talent with good character and knowledge, first be a talented lady, with the dowry you have accumulated over the years, you may not be able to provide a man in a few years!" ”
After a pause, she said again: "But you have to choose a hard-boned one, the eldest master's reckless temperament may not be willing to give up just because you are married, and maybe you will have to come to the door to coerce and lure you." ”
"You say it lightly."
When the mandarin duck heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Let's sit in the well and watch the sky in this deep mansion compound all day long, where can we find a talented man with good knowledge, good character, and hard bones?" Besides, if there is such a person, I am afraid that someone has already been decided, how can it be my turn! ”
Ping'er thought about it for a while, if it weren't for the fact that they were all crooked melons and cracked dates in this house, how could the maids treat Jia Baoyu like a celestial?
So I didn't know what to do for a while.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time, Ping'er looked back thoughtfully, her eyes swept over the silk yarn held by the maid, and suddenly said happily: "Yes, I have a way here, Guan Bao let you find Ruyi Langjun!" ”
As he spoke, he leaned into the mandarin duck's ear and whispered a few words......
The words are divided into two ends.
Just when Ping'er and the mandarin duck were whispering.
In the outer study, Jia Lian was drinking alone, and he saw that he had just been drunk, but the silver kettle on the table was already empty.
"Zhao'er? Zhao'er! ”
Jia Lian shouted twice, but he didn't see his personal servant Zhao'er come in, and his heart suddenly became angry, secretly thinking that these minions are really getting more and more disagreeable, before Xing'er was tortured but reported himself, but now that Zhao'er has just taken the position, he has slacked off!
"Eyeless dog thing!"
He scolded and scolded, and was about to go out and shout loudly, calling Zhao'er back to scold, when he saw the door curtain lifted, and a person came in from the outside, and said with a smile on his face: "Second Uncle Mo blames him, I coaxed him elsewhere." ”
As he spoke, he put two small wine jars on the table, patted one of them exaggeratedly, and said: "The authentic tribute wine was just given to me by my godfather the previous child, but what position am I, and how can I enjoy such precious objects?" Thinking about it, it's better to send it to you, second uncle, so that it is not a waste of things! ”
When Jia Lian heard what he said, he stretched out his fingers and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really a good guy, no wonder everyone in the kitchen praises you." ”
Then he straightened his spine again, and said with a straight face: "Say, you are so willing to give up, what do you want to ask the second uncle to do for you?" ”
"Second Uncle is right!"
Jia Yun raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "It seems that the little nephew has something in mind!" ”
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, sat down unceremoniously, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't hide the truth from the second uncle, the little nephew really empathizes with you, so he wants to be closer to the second uncle." ”
"Empathy? What empathy? ”
Jia Lian was a little inexplicable.
saw Jia Yun pull the empty sleeves again, gritted his teeth and said: "Second uncle, think about it, if it wasn't for the original surnamed Sun, who indiscriminately injured Jia Qin's arm, how could I have been involved in this matter for nothing?" Now even the woman I like is in a hurry to commit herself to others! ”
Jia Yun's pursuit of Xiaohong is secretly acting, and after Xiaohong hooks up with Jia Lian, she naturally will not leak this matter.
Therefore, Jia Lian did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately scolded in unison: "Isn't it! Earlier, there weren't such bad things in our house, they were all instigated by the surname Sun......"
"That's right, that surnamed Sun is really not a thing!"
Jia Yun echoed in his mouth, so he slapped the tribute wine open the mud and gave Jia Lian a full one, but what he drank himself was another jar......
