Chapter 288: Dismounting
Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng and the other three entered the room, and Aunt Zhou directly helped Qin Keqing onto the kang by the window and asked her to lean on the bed. After doing these things, Aunt Zhou turned around and said apologetically to Wang Xifeng: "I'm really sorry for the second grandmother, I left you out as a guest, it's really that she can't sit for a long time now, but I took care of her first." ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said heartily: "It's boring for a family to always be so polite, but I treat your house as my own." He was not polite when he said that, so he sat next to Qin Keqing and chatted with her.
Aunt Zhou sat on the chair next to her with a smile, watching the two of them chat, and did not interject.
When it was almost noon, Qin Keqing asked people to set up a meal and invited Wang Xifeng to dine in the mansion, and Wang Xifeng also enthusiastically agreed in order to get closer to Qin Keqing.
So all kinds of cherished and delicious flowing water styles were put up, and Wang Xifeng looked at this posture, which was more luxurious than what she had seen in Jiafu. Originally, she was in Jiafu, so she felt a little extravagant and lascivious, and she was more pompous than her uncle, Wang Ziteng's family.
However, she is only a granddaughter-in-law, and she has no power to change, but fortunately, the income of Jiafu over the years can barely maintain a balance, plus this year Jia Ke served as the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the Bing Jing and Carbon Respect in various places have not been broken, so the mansion has some surplus, so it will not say anything more, and will go according to the old calendar Cao Sui Xiao rules.
I didn't expect to come to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion today, and I knew what the real luxury was, and this meal couldn't be served without one or two hundred taels of silver.
Qin Keqing next to him saw Wang Xifeng's surprise, and said with a smile on his face: "We don't dare to be so extravagant on weekdays. This time, one is that I am pregnant during this time, and my uncle specially eats a hearty meal. Second, you are our guest, and when you come to the house for the first time, we naturally want to be hospitable. If this is the case every day, who can afford to eat? ”
Even if Qin Keqing said this, Wang Xifeng still felt that the wealth of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion was indeed an emerging marquis's house, which was different from a family like the Rongguo Mansion that relied on face.
Wang Xifeng asked casually at the dining table: "I heard that your house wants to give us 50,000 taels of silver every year, but is it true?" ”
"I know what you said about this, where is what is not offered, and all this silver is for the uncle to honor his parents and the old lady." Qin Keqing smiled and didn't have any dissatisfaction.
"In this case, there is no need to send it in the future, now there is nothing lacking in the house, and there is a balance of one or two hundred thousand taels of silver every year, where do you still need your fifty thousand." Wang Xifeng didn't want or wanted the 50,000 taels of silver, she felt that with Jia Ke's gold signboard, not to mention that 50,000 a year was 150,000, it would be easy for her.
Wang Xifeng has attracted a lot of officials these days, relying on Jia Ke's reputation, with these people she has some business everywhere, and with these, she can also get tens of thousands of taels of silver in the palace every year.
"Sister don't dare to do this, this is what the uncle confesses, where do I dare to disobey, this silver is nothing to us, you just accept it." Qin Keqing dealt with Wang Xifeng for the first time and didn't know her thoughts, but she remembered Jia Ke's instructions that the 50,000 taels of silver would be given anyway.
Wang Xifeng excused himself several times, but Qin Keqing just didn't allow it, and after postponing it a few times, Wang Xifeng stopped arguing.
After lunch, the two chatted for a while, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, the two of them now saw each other late, both of them were housekeepers' ladies, so the topics were very similar, and they chatted until the sky was dark.
Wang Xifeng saw that the lamp began to be in the house, and then he realized that it was not early, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing wanted to keep her for dinner, but Wang Xifeng did not agree this time no matter what. So I had to send her to the door.
When Wang Xifeng was about to get on the sedan chair, Qin Keqing suddenly instructed Wang Xifeng: "Don't go through the gate this time, there is a moon gate next to our house, which goes straight to your house, and if you want to come in the future, you can walk from there, it's close and safe, wouldn't it be better." ”
After Qin Keqing said this, she looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, she knew that this Wang Xifeng had just taken charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and the people below were not very convinced of her, so this time she didn't know which master had sent a message to give her a dismissal.
Wang Xifeng was surprised when she heard this, she had never heard her family talk about it, and then her face became gloomy, such a simple thing, no one told her when she left the house, it seems that these minions are still undertrained.
Wang Xifeng's heart turned around a few times at this time, and then with a smile on his face, he said to Qin Keqing casually: "Thank you sister-in-law for telling me, otherwise I don't know how many wronged roads I have to run." ”
After Wang Xifeng thanked Qin Keqing, he got on the sedan chair, and then walked out of Wuwei Hall. The tone was very unkind.
At this time, next to Wang Xifeng was her most proud maid Ping'er, who already knew her master's temper well. Now listening to her bad tone, you know that these people will not end well today.
Ping'er walked a few steps to the front, and the person carrying the sedan chair came to him and said, "Did you hear what the second grandmother said?" Walking from the Moon Gate, I think you are from the house, and you should know the path. ”
The servant woman carrying the sedan chair in front had already heard Wang Xifeng's words, and now she was sweating profusely, and she didn't know what to do.
Now after listening to Ping'er's words, he didn't dare to refute anything, so he could only turn around, and instead of going to the gate of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, he turned around and came to a moon gate.
Besides, Qin Keqing looked at the soft sedan chair made by Wang Xifeng and returned to the house. As soon as she returned, Jia Ke came in.
"You're back a little late today, and I'm thinking of introducing you to someone." When Qin Keqing saw Jia Ke coming in, he wanted to go up and help him pack his clothes.
Where can Jia Ke let her do it? He hurriedly grabbed her, and while helping her back to the bed, he replied to her, "I came back a long time ago, but I heard that people said that you have a female guest here, so I didn't come in." ”
"It's Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, I said she was the one I introduced to you, you don't know that she is really a good look, and she is shrewd and neat, she is a top-notch character." Qin Keqing kept praising Wang Xifeng in front of Jia Ke.
Jia Ke has no intention of stopping Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, after all, in the dream of Red Mansions, the two are like-minded, and they are extremely temperamental, Qin Keqing has very few friends since marrying him, and finally a Wang Xifeng came, who is the same age and personality as her, what reason does he have to stop it?
It's just that Jia Ke thinks it's not good for him to meet Wang Xifeng alone, because Wang Xifeng's affair is not one or two. And he, Jia Ke and Jia Lian, grew up together and were like brothers, and he didn't want any scandals with Wang Xifeng, so he didn't meet Wang Xifeng just now.
"It's okay if you want to associate with her, but you must be careful, persuade her how much she eats, and eat in what bowl she wants. Otherwise, something will go wrong in the future, but no one will clean it up for her. Jia Ke saw Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng speculating like this. So he said these words, and wanted Qin Keqing to persuade Wang Xifeng more and not to do those things that hurt heaven and reason.
Qin Keqing listened to Jia Ke's words, and kept wondering, "What are you talking about?" I look at this second daughter-in-law is very shrewd, what can go wrong? ”
After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Jia Ke had a sneer on his face, "She is just too shrewd, so she is smart but is mistaken by cleverness." ”
Qin Keqing knew something she didn't know when she saw this, so she came to Jia Ke's side, leaned on Jia Ke's shoulder, and then asked softly in his ear: "Uncle, tell me what is going on, otherwise I will be sold, and I will not lose your face in the end." ”
Jia Ke was a little irresistible by Qin Keqing's charming coquettishness, so he hugged her, lay on the bed and said: "You don't know that this second daughter-in-law Lian is really bold, she has only been in charge of Rongguo Mansion for a few days, and she has begun to win over officials from other places, if I didn't support her in the back, where would these people listen to her transfer?" ”
Qin Keqing is only a little discolored now, she didn't expect Wang Xifeng to be so bold, a female generation actually began to win over officials, even she, as the mistress of Wuyang Hou's Mansion, did not dare to do such a thing. It seems that in the future, you should be careful when talking to Wang Xifeng, otherwise I am afraid that you will really suffer from her way.
Besides, Wang Xifeng returned to Rongguo Mansion from the Moon Gate, and it was really close to where she lived, and she didn't leave the mansion during the whole process, so it was really safe, with this Moon Gate, the two families seemed to be in the same house.
Wang Xifeng didn't have a seizure along the way, and when she returned to the courtyard, Tie Qing entered the house with a blushing face, and without saying a word, he ordered someone to beat the two strong women who carried the sedan chair with thirty sticks.
Several maids next to him knew why Wang Xifeng beat people, so none of them dared to come forward to plead.
When the two strong women were beaten in Wang Xifeng's courtyard, Jia Lian came back from outside.
Now Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are in charge of Rongguo Mansion together, but he has always been in charge of foreign things, during this time in the Beijing shops kept patrolling, often come back very late, but every time they come back with a body of alcohol, during this time the shopkeeper in the shop took turns to invite him to dinner, just to let him raise his noble hand and wipe out the previous accounts, otherwise they really checked the accounts, and they couldn't run alone.
And Jia Linglian agreed on the surface, but in fact, he hated these people to death in his heart, and now he is just making a false deal with them, and when the time comes, he will wipe them out. Because he still remembers the scene of copying Lai's grandmother's house back then, and after that time, their Jia Mansion completely got rid of the dilemma of making ends meet. And what Jia Lian wants now is to do it again, and bring back all the money that these people were greedy for in those years. Since then, although most of it has to be paid to the public account, he can also get a lot of benefits from it.
Wang Xifeng has no opinion on Jia Lian, as long as Jia Lian doesn't mess with flowers and grass outside, it's not a big deal for the old man to drink a little wine, these days the two of them have been planning at night, just thinking about how to give these minions a little color.
After Jia Lian came back, he saw two beaten servant women, Jia Lian had never seen such a scene since he was a child, and felt that these two people were a little pitiful, so he came into the house and asked Wang Xifeng: "What's the matter with the two people outside?" If it's not a big deal, just spare them this trick, it's quite pitiful to look at. ”
As soon as Wang Xifeng heard Jia Lian's words, his eyebrows straightened, his apricot eyes widened, and his anger was charming, "Why are you distressed?" If you're willing to put the two of them in the house, it's not impossible. ”
Jia Lian was laughed angrily by Wang Xifeng, "Where are you thinking?" As for the two goods outside the house, can I still put it in my eyes? It's just to see that they are pitiful to be beaten, and I just ask you casually. ”
"They are pitiful, you know how ugly I am today, I went out from the main gate of our house, and then entered through the main gate of the next house, and then I saw Qin's sister-in-law, these two sedan chair goods didn't tell me, our two houses are connected. You say you shouldn't fight or not. Wang Xifeng remembered Qin Keqing's smiling expression at himself just now, and he still felt a little feverish on his face, he was actually tricked by a few minions in his hand, this is because he was new to the house and did not establish his prestige in the mansion, it seems that he has to clean up the following people and let them know that his aunt and grandmother are not easy to mess with.
When Jia Lian heard Wang Xifeng say this, she knew that someone had made her a stumbling block, and she was a little ruthless in her heart, I don't know which lady in the house wrote it? Thinking that it should be his mother, it is more likely to give Wang Xifeng a dismount.
