Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Sitting alone in Ningguo Mansion, Youshi was sulking, and the maids and women in the room held their breath and dared not speak, for fear that Youshi would turn his anger on himself.Today, Mother Jia of the Rongguo Mansion asked Xichun to come back and give her ginseng, which was clearly a slap in the face.Because his master used to work under Wang Ziteng, he was naturally close to the Wang family, and Wang Xifeng had known her for a long time. Now that he married into the Jia family, You Shi really felt that it was so easy to have one more person to talk to, but today It was she who asked the servant girl to send the ginseng, although it was Jia Mu's intention, but why she wanted to be the vanguard.

Naturally, the more you think about it, the more angry you become. Now, although he can settle the matter in the inner courtyard of the mansion by himself, he has worked hard on it for so many years.What's more, after taking charge, it was discovered that the Ningguo Mansion was already a mess, and it was only prosperous on the surface.That's not to mention, now my wife just needs to recuperate when she's sick, but it's also non-stop.First think of a way to send girl Xichun over there to be raised by the old lady. Logically, the two families have already divided the clan, so there should be no way to send Xichun there, and the old lady over there is also soft-hearted.I also persuaded him a few times, but helplessly, my wife didn't listen, not only didn't want to take Xichun back, but also sent people over and over again to send things over there.The things mentioned belong to the wife, so I don't care how to deal with her as a daughter-in-law, but at any rate, the wife doesn't only have Xichun as a daughter, and now the house is running out of money, and she doesn't see her using herself to supplement her son.Instead, he keeps sending things out, as if people outside are more trustworthy than people at home.

You Shi also knew that he did some things that were not as big as his wife's eyes, but there was nothing he could do about it.I wrote a letter to ask for my handkerchief back then, how could I not help.What's more, the help is not for nothing, at least some silver taels can make up for the shortfall in the mansion.No one knows about my difficulties.

Youshi was angry, but another maid came in who didn't know what was going on, and said that the wife's ginseng soup was ready, and whether it was grandma who brought it to the wife herself.These words just poked Youshi's lung tube.It is simply which pot should be lifted if it is not opened.Youshi said in a bad mood: "I see, it's just a bowl of ginseng soup, why don't you come to ask me for instructions, even if I don't boil it, maybe it will be brought directly from Rongguo Mansion tomorrow. You also You don't need to go back to me, just send it to your wife, now I can't control much of the whole family."

The servant girl knelt down in fright, not daring to say more.Everyone also knew that he was depressed, so naturally they didn't dare to persuade him.Youshi was silent for a while, and when his anger subsided a little, he got up, and lifted the food box containing the ginseng soup, "I'll go and deliver it to my wife, are you satisfied?"

Youshi took a group of people to see Mrs. Zhu, who was sickly lying on the bed, reading an account book in her hand.Seeing Youshi coming, he put the account book aside, rolled his eyelids and said, "I don't need to bother to send ginseng soup every day, now I don't need to spend any more on this illness, and spending money in the bottomless pit is just for the sake of life." resentment."

Youshi put down the food box and said: "Of course my daughter-in-law dare not disobey my wife's words. This ginseng soup was also sent by the old lady over there. The 800-year-old ginseng should be very effective. Although the two families are now separated , but the old lady still misses you."

Mrs. Zhu naturally knew that You Shi had something to say, but she didn't care too much. She stood up and took the ginseng soup with a smile. The old lady loves others, and I was born with good fortune. How hard it is to grow 800-year-old ginseng, and now the boiled ginseng soup can enter the mouth, maybe God has pity on my old bones."

Youshi listened to the side and naturally heard the implication in Mrs. Zhu's words. Youshi frowned slightly, but still said with a smile on his face: "Mrs.

"Whether it is possible or not, it's up to God, and it's not you and me anymore. But I want to walk around the ground without drinking this bowl of ginseng soup, but it's not what people want." Mrs. Zhu said a few mouthfuls After drinking the soup, he said: "Thank you for me, the old lady. Now I'm not feeling well and I can't visit her in person. Oh, I'll bring Xichun over there later, the sisters over there are still waiting for her."

You Shi heard this, and said: "Madam, you naturally know more about etiquette than me, and it is reasonable for me, the daughter-in-law, to advise you with these words. Now that you are not feeling well, you can rest and recuperate. Although the daughter-in-law is not Talent, but I can teach my sister-in-law a thing or two, so why send it to trouble the old lady, now that the old lady is old, she doesn't dare to trouble the old lady with everything in the Rongguo Mansion, and now our two families have divided the clan, although The old lady said that she was walking around as a relative, but now that the mansion has something to invite, most of them will not come. The wife is sensible. It is not a problem for Xichun to stay for a few days and play with her sisters, but if it is too long, If people find out, I don’t know how many gossips will be spread.”

Mrs. Zhu slightly raised the corner of her mouth when she heard this, and said, "Gossip? How much gossip is there in this mansion? You can't even measure it with a cart or bucket. There are still a few in the mansion who really care about decency and etiquette, and can uphold and abide by it." What? I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe it anyway. So what if there are more gossips and one less car?” Mrs. Zhu slowly lay down again and said, “I’m tired too, let’s just leave it as it is today. There is no need to bother the old lady with the soup, it is just a bowl of ginseng soup, how can there be no one in the house, if there is no millennium, 800 years is fine, if there is no 800 years, 500 years is fine. If it is not good, then make some five Years and ten years are fine, anyway, I know you are filial. As for gossiping, who cares?"

Mrs. Zhu's words were so sharp that Youshi's face almost changed color. He tried not to say anything, snorted, and left Mrs. Zhu's room. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, when Xichun came to ask about the carriage again. Is the arrangement settled? Youshi thought that he would simply lose sight of it and not worry, so he hastily sent someone to send Xichun to Jia's mother, and made a rule with his subordinates, that there is no need to bring Miss back if there is nothing to do, if someone else's house lives comfortably , just live.This is convenient in several ways.

After Wang Xifeng wanted to seize power and was secretly suppressed by Jia's mother, she restrained her thoughts at first. After that day, Jia Lian also taught her how to read and write as promised. Wang Xifeng was originally smart and learned quickly. Jia Lian also sighed, If it was a man, it might be much stronger than him.It's just to learn later, Wang Xifeng is really not interested in poetry and songs, but is very interested in reading account books.

Shi Feier also pays attention often. After seeing that Wang Xifeng is more literate, he occasionally shows her a few unimportant account books to see if she can see the problem.After a long time, Wang Xifeng can also see it.Shi Fei'er felt that it was not bad, so she paid more attention to it. When Wang Xifeng came to pay her respects every day, she would stay and talk for a while, talking about interesting things about making a living and taboos.At this time, Wang Xifeng listened very carefully.Shi Feier felt that if the literacy was done well, the next step would be to tell him some legal matters. After all, profit is the criterion for business, but breaking the law because of profit is a desperate move for many businessmen.My own business is clean and innocent, so naturally I have to give all the red lines to the successor before handing over the shift.

In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of Wang Xifeng's mother. After all, they were all in Beijing, so Shi Feier asked Wang Xifeng to go back to Wang's house to celebrate her mother's birthday.Wang Xifeng is naturally happy, and Jia Lian is also a smart person. The birthday gift was purchased by himself, which is grand and rare. Now that he has no shortage of money, he can do something that makes his mother-in-law happy and daughter-in-law happy. not for.

After the birthday banquet, Mrs. Zhang asked Wang Xifeng to stay in the palace for two days before returning.After all, as a daughter-in-law now, although it is not difficult to go back to her natal home, the number of times should not be too many.Wang Xifeng was naturally happy, and her mother was also happy, and she took her daughter to talk to her alone.

"Looking at it now, I believe your words. You are lucky. Your mother-in-law and the old lady really love you."

"What the wife said is that the daughter feels really blessed. The old lady is kind, the wife is polite and courteous, and her master is also knowledgeable. Now that I think about it, I feel that if I'm not satisfied, I don't know what's good." Wang Xifeng smiled. road.

"Exactly. At first, I was afraid that you have a strong temper, and you will be aggressive and aggressive after the past. I was afraid that you would suffer. Now, it seems that your mother-in-law has taken care of it well. Instead, it seems like a different person."

"My wife also laughed at me. Now that I have read some words with the second master Lian and learned something, I know that I have changed my old thoughts of being competitive. Now I feel that I am fighting for my face. Being weak doesn't mean anything." Wang Xifeng paused and said, "Now I know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky, and it's not me boasting, but now I know something about why the Jia family is so rich. To tell you the truth, I think if There is also an old lady in our family who knows things like a god, and she doesn't know how rich the Wang family will be."

Her mother was naturally curious when she heard the words, so Wang Xifeng told her mother about some things about Jia's mother in the past, and her mother nodded and praised repeatedly.While talking, Wang Xifeng suddenly thought of something and said: "Madam, I just want to ask you, is there still usury in our house?"

Mrs. Wang said: "There are some more, but they were introduced by your aunt. They are very safe."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng waved her hands repeatedly and said: "If Madam really believes in me, she should stop doing it as soon as possible. My daughter naturally knows that the family's expenses are high, and the money only depends on the ancestral property, and the salary is also sitting on the mountain, but there are some things that can be done, and some things that cannot be done. Now The second master Lian also has an estate, and the profit is not bad, if the wife can trust her daughter, she can take the usury silver to invest in the shares, firstly, the money comes cleanly, secondly, it is only a lot more."

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "Where is your aunt?"

Wang Xifeng sighed and said: "Earlier, the government dealt with it severely because of the usury. My aunt should have experienced it too. How could she not know the seriousness of it? Besides, she didn't let it go, but introduced And you, how do you know that it won't share some profits in it. Don't talk about it, just talk about this Jia's mansion, if you want to let the old lady and the old lady know that there are people who dare to secretly give loan sharks, no matter who He is going to be kicked out of the mansion and sent to the police for interrogation. My wife really can't do this, so you just trust your daughter."

Mrs. Xiao Wang nodded and said: "I believe you. I will take back all the money in two days, saying that the master has taken a fancy to a Zhuangzi and is waiting for the money to be used. When I get it back, I will stop doing it." yes."

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's the best, my wife doesn't do this, I can rest assured."

"You are relieved, but there is one more thing I want to tell you in detail?" His mother smiled and said, "Come and have a sip of tea, let's talk slowly."
