Red Mansion(41)

When Wang Xifeng came back from the Lin family, Ping'er hurried over to serve him.

"I said you just go about your business. Xiaohong is here. What are you doing here?" Wang Xifeng took the hot handkerchief from Ping'er and wiped his face.

"There is no reason why grandma is working hard, but I am enjoying it on the side." Ping'er naturally realized that Wang Xifeng was not as close to him as before, but was more attentive and mean-spirited than before.

"You are so good at playing tricks on me now." Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that I visit the house now? But the visit is also very particular. Why don't the old ladies say anything? You are doing this to me. You are not relying on me to contact the Lin family. There are so many household matters, so you just take care of them. The most important thing now is the outside. If you are too worried, you will completely insult my friendship for you."

Ping'er was stunned and said with a smile: "How can I be too worried? I really have something to ask grandma today."

"Tell me." Wang Xifeng leaned on the couch and said, "You can just make your own decision regarding matters at home. Aren't there already examples? You can't go wrong if you follow them."

"If there is an example, it won't be difficult for me." Ping'er sighed and said, "I don't know what the old lady was thinking, but she took Miss Yun over again. She said that since we were engaged, It’s time to learn some principles of being a wife. She needs to be educated by herself. The two wives of the Shi family were so angry that no one from our family showed up. Only a mother-in-law was sent to deal with it. Now people are here to take care of them. But the old lady didn't arrange it in her yard anymore. Instead, she said that it was pitiful for Miss Yun to learn the rules in the Shi family, so she asked her to stay in the garden and stay loose. Then she came to me and asked me to tidy up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The original things in Xiaoxiang Hall can be used, but there are people living here, so how can we clean them up? Grandma would like to give you a word."

"What do you mean? No matter how many things you give her, she can't move them away. She can just put them out there. If you're worried about accidentally damaging them, there's no need to worry. Except for the living ancestors in Baoyu's house, There is no such thing as someone who doesn’t care about things anymore. I listened in a daze as the girl named Qingwen tore up several fine fans. She was so indifferent. If you are nice to her, remind her to restrain herself. That girl grows on the branches. The fruit with the best head is always the first one to be pecked by the birds." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and spoke without saying anything. Yin asked again: "Or you can just ask Yun Yatou, maybe she doesn't want to move there herself. I don’t know where I’ll live.”

"There is no need to ask. Miss Yun has now taken the girl happily. In addition, compared with Miss Bao's house, no matter how Miss Yun tidies it, it is conspicuous. Miss Bao's house is empty and empty. It's like a snow cave." Ping'er said. It's not just that she's afraid that relatives from the two families can't be treated differently. At least she should look better on the surface. Don't just favor the girl from the Shi family. It doesn't matter if she offends the Xue family. She's afraid that her wife will think too much.

Wang Xifeng frowned and thought to herself: This girl Yun is already engaged, how could she be so reckless? Seeing that Ping'er was still waiting for her reply, she said: "What's so difficult about this? You just said you want to open the warehouse and ask all the girls Yes. Those things are collected for nothing. If they are given to them for use, what will happen?"

Ping'er thought to herself, how could she open the warehouse to take things without grandma's consent? How could she, a girl with a key, do it? Seeing Wang Xifeng speak, she responded. Zhun turned around and asked again: "Lin Da What a nice girl."

"Girl's symptoms, it seems that she is the first one here, so she feels a little uncomfortable. It doesn't matter." Wang Xifeng was a little confused. After going out of the house, she felt sleepy.

Just as Ping'er was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandma's body hasn't been washed for many days. Could it be..."

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes suddenly. She was so busy with everything these days that she really forgot about this incident.

"That girl Xiaohong is capable, but she's from a kid's family, so how can she know what's going on here?" Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's look and knew that she was inseparable.

Xiaohong came out of the inner room and said: "It must be two months ago. It can't be wrong."

"This is a happy event." Ping'er is really happy. She is also under a lot of pressure these days. The reason for promoting her aunt is for the sake of her children. Many people are gossiping behind her back, saying that she is not a proper person. She is not pregnant with the child, but

Hold on to the power in your hands and never let go. Every time I think of this, can I not feel panicked in my heart? "I'm going to call for a doctor."

"Stop." Wang Xifeng suddenly stopped Ping'er, "Don't make any noise. Just ask Xiaohong to go to the Lin family and ask Miss Lin to invite a doctor that the Lin family usually uses. Now, besides her and you, I don't know anyone else.

Those who don’t believe it.”

Ping'er was stunned for a moment. Grandma was suspicious of someone.

When Xiaohong saw the curtain move, she immediately winked at Wang Xifeng. The girls outside looked loose, but they were all found and mobilized by Xiaohong. They guarded the room tightly. When the curtain moved, it proved that it was Jia Lian.

I'm back. It's time to eavesdrop outside.

Wang Xifeng glanced at the curtain with her peripheral vision and said to Ping'er: "Don't even think about how my mother-in-law died. Our second master also has a biological brother. How did he die when he was five or six years old?

He fell into the water and died. In this family, the girls and the mother-in-law are just decorations. They can't bear to have a child. How did the second master come to the second room and be raised by the second room? The things inside are unbearable.

I've thought about it. It's just the eldest brother getting a title. This is the root cause of harm. But how can I say this? When I was pregnant with my eldest son, it was always very smooth. The birth was not difficult, so why did it happen?

I didn’t manage well, and I haven’t gotten pregnant for so many years. Every time I think about these things, I break into a cold sweat. But our man, I’m afraid he hasn’t thought of this. Even if I tell him, he will believe it even more.

The second aunt who raised him for a while, my biological aunt. I don’t know when he was led to commit a fatal crime, then this title is really gone. How can I not be discouraged when I think about it. If it was a fluke, I would really be surprised.

There is a brother in his belly. If we keep him, we will all be able to rely on him."

Ping'er's face turned pale and Xiaohong looked horrified, but in her heart she felt that the second mistress' words were just to frighten the people outside the door.

Sure enough, Jia Lian opened the curtain and came in with a livid face and said, "What was the reason for those words you just said?"

Wang Xifeng looked frightened and covered her chest: "When did you come back? What were you doing sneaking around in your own house? You scared people."

Ping'er came back to his senses and answered: "Second Master, please speak in a lower voice. If you don't say anything else, it's important not to scare the brother in grandma's belly."

Jia Lian then focused his attention on Wang Xifeng's belly and came to his senses. "Okay. Since you are worried, just ask someone to go to Lin's house."

Xiao Hong responded immediately, turned around and went out. Jia Lian then said: "What did you just say?"

"There's nothing there. It's just that I'm overthinking." Wang Xifeng turned her face away. How could she admit these words without proof? What if this person's temper was aroused and he didn't dare to make a fuss regardless of it?

.As long as there is such a mark and suspicion in the bottom of my heart, I can always alert him, don't do anything fatal, and avoid being caught. When this family fails in the future, don't implicate yourself and yourself.

It's only good for children.

The more calm Wang Xifeng became, the more Jia Lian murmured in his heart. He said, "Don't say these words again. I've heard you today. If you let others hear you, you won't die."

"I understand. As long as I won't go out of the yard from now on, regardless of the chaos outside, I will just give birth to the child first and then talk about it." Wang Xifeng said, looked at Ping'er and said: "I know what is said in this family.

, you have also suffered a lot of grievances. These grievances were all suffered by you for me and your second master. I will keep your affection in my heart."

Ping'er's eyes turned red, "What did grandma say? It's a loss for both, and a gain for both. If you don't say this, it will only make you angry."

Although Jia Lian was thinking about what Wang Xifeng had just said, he felt a little satisfied when he saw the harmony of his wife and concubines, and then thought about how everyone in other families fought like black-eyed chickens.

When Lin Yutong saw Xiaohong, she realized that Wang Xifeng might be pregnant. Thinking of the original work, Wang Xifeng had indeed been pregnant with one, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage. It was said to be a boy. Now seeing her being so cautious, he smiled and said: "Go back now. I'll send her away right away.

I asked a doctor to send him over. He said he was going to give your grandma a look and to nurse her back to health."

Xiao Hong was immediately overjoyed. Anyway, everyone knew that her grandmother was anxious to have a baby. She asked the Lin family to find a doctor to take care of her, so no one would be suspicious. She happened to be diagnosed with pregnancy at that time, so who could say anything wrong? It would save others.

I felt that a happy pulse had been diagnosed, and I begged the Lin family to make a fuss. If there was really someone who could harm others, it would make the other party suspicious. Miss Lin really thought of her grandma. No wonder grandma only

I wanted to be nice to her. So I immediately knelt down and kowtowed sincerely.

Lin Yutong asked someone to help her up, and saw that the girl's forehead was already green, and said: "What a good girl with a solid heart. Serve your grandma well, and it will benefit you in the future." He then looked for some topical medicine.

Give it to her before someone sends her out.

Xiaohong walked in the front door and told Lin Yutong what she meant. Someone reported on the back and someone from the Lin family came with the doctor.

Jia Lian sighed: "This time I have accepted the favor of the Lin family."

After sighing, he quickly invited the doctor to come in. It turned out to be a happy pulse. It had been more than two months. Now that Wang Xifeng was in good health, the doctor only gave some instructions. Jia Lian quickly confirmed with the doctor the time for a follow-up consultation. This was because

The doctor was chosen by chance. After hearing the Lin family's words, the doctor was absolutely unstoppable. Ping'er took another twenty taels of silver for the diagnosis and sent the doctor out. Jia Lian was so happy that he didn't know it.

How's that? He asked, "Should I tell the old lady quickly?"

"That's right." Wang Xifeng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Sir, you are indispensable for visiting Madam."

The elder is his biological father, so he should go in person. Jia Lian has no objection.

Not to mention how happy Wang Xifeng was when her wish came true over the years. Just say that Jia Lian trotted all the way into Jia Mu's yard.

"Now that you are so old, how can you still be so anxious and angry?" Jia Mu smiled and said, "What is this for?"

"Old lady, my grandson is going to be a father again." Jia Lian happily reported: "I came here to please the old lady."

"This is a great joy. But Ping'er is here." Jia Mu said angrily: "Then don't neglect your wife. Why don't you see her coming with you? Are you jealous again? Call her here, I'll take care of you.

Let’s talk about her.”

Jia Lian said: "My grandson is so happy that he is confused and cannot speak clearly. The one who is happy is my grandson's wife."

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and then said: "This is a great event. Although that girl Ping'er is nice, she can't compare to Feng Yatou, a serious grandma who crawled out of her belly. Just look at Baoyu and Huan'er and you will know."

Naturally, Jia Lian prefers the legitimate son, but it would be better to have a concubine. This cannot be generalized. The Lin family is a concubine, but who dares to say that it is not good.

Yuanyang's heart felt chilly. Just looking at the old lady's attitude, she knew how little she cared about her aunt. She took the girls to congratulate Jia Lian, and Jia Lian happily agreed.

"You go and tell your master and his wife first, and ask them to rejoice as well." Jia Mu sent Jia Lian, "I'll go see your wife in a while."

"If you dare to work for the old lady, you will lose your fortune." Jia Lian said politely, turned around and went out.

Then I turned to the front and saw from a distance that Jia Zheng was sending a familiar person out. It was actually the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. I had only heard of this chief historian of the prince's mansion and had no friendship with him.

Shi Geng didn't know why he condescended to come to Jia's house. He was muttering in his heart, but he couldn't get close to him. He quickly stepped away and stood under the corridor, blocked by early wood, and he managed to avoid it. Until the two of them

When he was out of sight, Jia Lian turned around and happened to see a guest of the master. He couldn't help but ask the reason why Chang Shi came to the house.

"But the second master of Baobao asked about a man named Qiguan." The Qingke said, shook his head, sighed and left quickly.

How come Jia Lian has never heard of Qiguan's name? That idiot Xue Pan has been coveting this Qiguan for a long time. Unexpectedly, this man fell in love with Baoyu. But it's no wonder, few people look down on Baoyu.

.

However, this was none of his business. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the master scolding Jia Huan.

I heard Brother Nahuan say: "... Baoyu wanted a gold bracelet, and when his wife found out, he beat him up. The gold bracelet was not angry and jumped into the well... His face was swollen as big as a basin, which was really scary."

Jia Lian thought to himself: Brother Huan is really good at complaining. He wanted to go up and explain a word or two to Baoyu, but for some reason, what Wang Xifeng said before could not help but flash in his mind. If he is not qualified to inherit this mansion

Here, who is the person who can inherit? When he thought about it, he stopped and turned around to tell the great master the good news.

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Huan's words, his anger suddenly welled up in his head. The death of a girl just gave him an outlet to vent. Playing with the girl at home is better than hanging out with famous actors and actresses. Tiao, play with the girl,

It's not a big problem with the young master. Who's child didn't do this? Speaking of which, it's not that embarrassing. It's considered to be a sin of "having sex and humiliating mothers and maidservants", which can be done at home.

Turnaround. It is not unusual for a mother to give her son a maid. But who is Qiguan? Not to mention that he is a member of Prince Zhongshun. Just because it is a man, Jia Zheng feels sick in his heart. Who knows who the father is?

My son still had all these problems behind his back, and he was so angry. But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to bring it out in the open and scream for death. By chance, Jia Huan came over with such an excuse.

"You evildoer!" As soon as Jia Zheng entered the study, he pointed at Baoyu and shouted.

Jia Baoyu was feeling uneasy because he had betrayed Qi Guan. Now he asked Jia Zhengyi to scare him, and his face became even more ugly.

Over there, Jia Zheng felt even more uncomfortable. The eldest son was gone, and this one could see it. No matter how he didn't improve in his articles, he would scold him, but when did he really beat him? But he should never do it.

, I have such a problem in my body. Now that I am over a hundred years old, who can I rely on in the future? The more I think about Baoyu’s ineffectiveness, the angrier I feel. If I don’t get rid of this problem today, I can’t finish it. It won’t hurt.

If you kill him, he doesn't know how powerful it is.

Many other pilgrims came to persuade him, and Jia Zheng felt that he had lost all his dignity. Thinking of the sadness and embarrassment, he burst into tears.

The sticks hit Baoyu's body one after another. Jia Baoyu's mouth was blocked and he couldn't scream. Everyone saw that the beatings were really severe and tried to stop him, but Jia Zheng was really angry. He was not willing to comply. But he was clever.

I quickly sent a message to Mrs. Wang and the old lady.

While there was a commotion, Mrs. Wang came first. Seeing Baoyu being beaten like this, how could I not feel distressed? The eldest son couldn't help but cry again in front of Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng soften his heart. But he accompanied him

Li Wan, who came to see Jia's mother, felt really unhappy. Every time he mentioned the uncle, he seemed to be overly interested in him. Kelan'er and himself had never been looked at in a different light by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even her mother-in-law couldn't remember it for a year and a half.

There is also a grandson. Look at how the old lady treats Baoyu, and then look at how the mother-in-law treats Lan'er. They are both grandparents, so why are there such big differences. It can be seen that this crying uncle does not have much sincerity. If the uncle knew

I don't know what my son will think about when he is living in Jia's house. He is crying so sadly, she looks like a loving mother. However, it is not the uncle who is crying, but her own suffering...

This farce completely suppressed the joyful news of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy. Not to mention that no one came to congratulate them. No one in this family dared to smile on their faces. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were really unusual.
To be continued...
