Chapter 120 Asking for Help
On the north side of the second hanging flower gate of Rongguo Mansion, in the left Nuan Pavilion of Baoxia, bead curtains are hanging, smoke curls up, and the fragrance is astonishing.
The bright and beautiful Wang Xifeng leaned lazily on the concubine's couch, seemingly taking a nap.
At this moment, Ping'er, wearing a beaded hairpin and a blue dress, walked in lightly and saw Wang Xifeng taking a nap, with a look of hesitation on her face.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Wang Xifeng felt light-headed and woke up at the slightest movement. She noticed the movement and asked lazily.
Ping'er said softly: "Grandma, Uncle Yun from Dongfu is here and wants to see you."
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she immediately became energetic. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, a sharp look appeared in her red eyes, and she said, "What did this careless boy do to see me? Could he be here to cause trouble for me?"
Ping'er felt quite funny when she heard this. She knew her grandmother's temperament. She was usually very resolute and resolute. The maids and women below were all afraid of her grandmother. But for some reason, her grandmother was attracted by Uncle Yun of Dongfu. Got it.
When Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's expression, she didn't know what Ping'er was thinking, and said angrily: "Uncle Yun from Dongfu is not a good-tempered man. Even the ancestors can't do anything about him. He refutes me over and over again. , but you didn’t take my aunt seriously, and now she’s actively looking for me for the first time, so she’s definitely not going to do anything good.”
Ping'er also knows something about it. Although his grandma is the housekeeper of the mansion, she is still a daughter. Now that Uncle Yun has inherited the Dongfu, it is very powerful, so it is natural for grandma to be "afraid" of him.
"Grandma, Uncle Yun said he wanted to ask for something."
"Oh..." Wang Xifeng was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Jia Yun would ask her for something. It was really a ghost.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Xifeng roughly understood that it was not incomprehensible for him to come to see her for something at this time.
Wang Xifeng relaxed a lot, changed into a comfortable position and lay on the concubine's couch, and said, "Go and invite Brother Yun in."
Ping'er responded and immediately went down to invite someone.
Jia Yun, who was outside the courtyard, was led by Ping'er into the Zuonuan Pavilion of Baoxia. After passing through a bead curtain, he saw Wang Xifeng lazily leaning on the concubine's couch.
"Please greet my second aunt."
Since he had something to ask for, Jia Yun naturally had to be polite.
Wang Xifeng still looked like she was getting out of bed, and said hurriedly: "Brother Yun, now everyone in the clan has to look at your face. It's hard for you to still remember me as your aunt..."
Jia Yun knew that this was Wang Xifeng venting his dissatisfaction with Jia Yun's previous refutation of her face. If he agreed, it would be unreasonable, so Jia Yun ignored it and said bluntly: "Second aunt, my nephew came to see you today for something." I want to ask my aunt for help."
Seeing Jia Yun neglecting her like this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, but it was hard to throw her face away in person, so she casually said: "What's the matter?"
Jia Yun said seriously: "Of course it is Master Zhen's funeral. My nephew asked my aunt to help arrange Master Zhen's funeral."
The Ningfu family has a large business and a complex population. Jia Yun has just moved into Ningfu and has no time to sort it out. The most important thing now is Jia Zhen's funeral. Jia Yun needs to keep vigil, and naturally he has no way to do it. Therefore, it is inevitable to ask for help.
In the Jia Mansion, Jia Yun had interacted with Wang Xifeng several times and was somewhat familiar with her. Moreover, the housekeeper Wang Xifeng was quite capable. Everyone below her was against her, so it was most appropriate for her to take the initiative.
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and said calmly: "This is your West Mansion's business, what does it have to do with me? If there isn't a serious old lady in the East Mansion, I can just leave it to her. If I go there, others won't call Auntie a dog."
Keep your nose in other people's business..."
Jia Yun was not annoyed when he heard Wang Xifeng's negative remarks. Even because Wang Xifeng's tone was a little...well...sour...Jia Yun found it quite funny.
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Yun chuckle, she immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Brother Yun, you are the one asking for help. Are you the one asking for help?"
Jia Yun said: "Of course my nephew has something to ask for. You's family does not have enough prestige to overpower those mothers, and is not as capable as my aunt.
The two houses of Ning and Rong belong to the same family, my aunt is the housekeeper of Rong house, and my nephew will be the head of Ning house in the future. We will have to work together in the future. In this case, why should my nephew be an outsider?"
As Jia Yun said, the two houses of Ning and Rong are connected by the same spirit. Whenever there is a major event in the house, the two houses must communicate with each other in advance. Just like Jia Mu and Jia Jing in the past, they are partners.
However, if Jia Yun gets married in the future, he will naturally have less contact with Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng is a capable person, so why can't he hear what Jia Yun is saying? What's more, judging from Jia Yun's name of You family, it seems that the "mother and son" are not in harmony.
Rolling a look at Jia Yun, Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Having a nephew like you who makes things difficult for my aunt is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Faced with Wang Xifeng's complaints, Jia Yun rarely said anything nice, saying: "The East Road Courtyard is in a mess now. My nephew is busy guarding the funeral, and he doesn't have any elite soldiers. How can he take care of it?"
My aunt has always been shrewd and capable, and none of the servants in the house will help her. If my aunt helps, my nephew can rest assured."
What Jia Yun said is true. Wang Xifeng is indeed a shrewd and capable person. Toward her elders, she is versatile and versatile. Towards housekeepers and servants, Wang Xifeng is strict. If not, she would not be able to sit as the administrator of Rongfu.
Home.
Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with self-satisfaction when she heard this. When it comes to things in this house, there is nothing she can't do well, even her ancestors can rest assured. However, for Jia Yun's willingness to speak softly, Wang Xifeng became a little bit shy and spat:
"Yuan Dao, you are also very good at talking. You can coax people into saying one thing after another. What you say is better than what you sing."
Seeing Wang Xifeng making fun of Jia Yun again and again, Jia Yun didn't get used to her and said: "Well, since aunt said that my nephew is trying to coax you, my nephew has nothing to say. Since aunt refuses,
Then my nephew is going to find an old lady to help him."
After saying that, Jia Yun left directly without looking back. At this time, Wang Xifeng suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Brother Yun, wait a minute."
The man in front of me is not easy to get along with, but my ancestors are afraid of him. If they let the ancestors know, they may say that they don't know anything, ignore the overall situation, and bother her with nonsense.
...
Jia Yun didn't pause and walked away. Ping'er, who was silent at the side, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jia Yun and said hurriedly: "Uncle, grandma is just joking. It's not like you don't know that the old lady is not energetic these days." It's great, I guess I'm resting now, so why bother disturbing the old lady's peace?"
Wang Xifeng on the side also got up from the concubine's bed at this time, and spat at Jia Yun angrily: "I have convinced you, yes, yes, since you, Uncle Yun, have come to invite me, I can't explain why I shouldn't, so whatever. My aunt will help you."
When Wang Xifeng agreed, Jia Yun didn't say much. He held his hands and said, "This is a favor that my nephew owes his aunt, and he will definitely repay it in the future."
Since Wang Xifeng can agree, she has done Jia Yun a favor. If Wang Xifeng is in trouble in the future, helping her can be regarded as repayment.
At this time, Wang Xifeng was also satisfied in her heart. The favor from the master of the East Mansion was a great convenience. I am afraid that Jia Yun thought that she would be perfunctory, so she used benefits to induce her.
However, Wang Xifeng did not expose it. Instead, she complained: "Brother Yun, it's true, but it's just a small favor. It's worth nothing. We are all members of the same family, so there is no need to distinguish between each other."
Naturally, Jia Yun would not believe in such things as the flesh and blood of a family. Asking Wang Xifeng for help showed that she was smart and capable. This funeral matter could not be careless, so naturally nothing could go wrong.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun opened his mouth and told Wang Xifeng one by one about the funeral arrangements he had told Jia Jing before. Anyway, it was just a matter of highlighting the cards.
Wang Xifeng became silent after hearing this, thinking about the funeral arrangements.
Shaoqing, Wang Xifeng said: "Brother Yun, since you trust my aunt, my aunt can't send you to do things.
The population of Dongfu is mixed, and the people below may have unclean hands and feet, lose things, and make people laugh, so they must be strictly monitored. Secondly, if they are not dedicated, if the errands are not done, or if they shirk the responsibility at the last moment, it will also bring shame to the government. You need to find some reliable people to handle the errands.
Master Zhen's wedding must be grand, and the money is indispensable. The stewards below cannot take advantage of the money and spend too much money for nothing. This account book must be carefully watched.
When the ostentation is big, things become complicated. If the arrangements are not done properly, the people below will inevitably complain a lot, but it will not be done well.
The most important thing is that I am afraid that those decent beauties will not obey the discipline.
Speaking of which, this matter is not easy to handle."
Seeing that Wang Xifeng's words were clear and logical, Jia Yun felt more at ease, which proved that Jia Yun was right to seek help from Wang Xifeng.
"Now that aunt knows what's going on, my nephew will feel more at ease. Don't worry, my aunt will take care of all the funeral matters. My nephew will never interfere. I will tell you how much money is needed."
Since you are asking for help, you have to let go of your power. If you don't, it will be a embarrassment to the person.
Wang Xifeng explained all the difficulties in this matter one by one. Wasn't his intention also to seek power?
When Wang Xifeng heard that Jia Yun was so "bold", her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Okay, my aunt agreed to this matter, and I will definitely help you handle it properly."
Jia Yun heard this and responded: "In that case, I'll leave it to my aunt.
Although the financial power has been handed over to Wang Xifeng, it is inevitable that he will suffer a big loss, but Jia Yun doesn't care. Now Jia Yun can't get away. He will worry about it later. If Wang Xifeng takes some advantage, Jia Yun will let it go. It should be regarded as hard work, but if it is not greedy enough... I will slowly calculate it in the future.
