Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Wang Xifeng took over Jia Mu's item-by-item business, and rectified some evil slaves who were greedy for ink, which made the servants in the center of the mansion feel more at ease.But after all, there are many people in the mansion, and there are many right and wrong, and inevitably some people think that Wang Xifeng is a tough nut to crack, who doesn't eat oil, salt, soft and hard.Because she couldn't get any advantage, she was fined, fined, and beaten, so she went to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Mu to talk small things.

Mrs. Wang was originally related to Wang Xifeng, and originally hoped that Wang Xifeng would enter Jia's mansion, and she would receive more care and help.But now Wang Xifeng has gradually gained power and power in the mansion, but she still doesn't show much favoritism towards her aunt.Now someone came to ask Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang received some favors, and wanted to show off her aunt's airs, so she went to look for Wang Xifeng, and her words were more admonishing, and she was asked to think twice before acting, not because of a few small money Such things, lost people's hearts, offended people.

Wang Xifeng found it extremely funny to hear Mrs. Wang's words, but she was a junior after all, so it was not easy to directly contradict and refute in person.

But now Wang Xifeng is following her mother-in-law's lead in everything. After all, her mother-in-law is admiring her, willing to delegate power to herself, and let herself manage things. Now she loves her twin children very much.Although she and Mrs. Wang are aunts and nephews, Wang Xifeng's heart is naturally towards her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wang said some nonsense, Wang Xifeng responded with a few words indiscriminately, sent the man away, and then said to Feng'er and Ping'er: "The world is strange now, this master treats the servant well, but in the end Even a group of ungrateful and lawless servants came out. Now that they have committed a crime, they must be dealt with severely, but they even ask the master to intercede for them. I don’t think this corner is as thick-skinned.”

Ping'er said consolingly: "Grandma, why bother about this kind of thing, just calm down, the second wife is just trying to persuade her because of her past friendship."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "What you said is not bad, but it reminded me of one thing." Wang Xifeng picked up the teacup and said, "You girls have been following me since childhood, and you have no idea what kind of temper I have. It should be clear. I either don't do this kind of thing, or I do it well. I don't care about the reputation. After all, there is still a long way to stretch out a hand. It's not good for people in the whole government to praise you. I never thought about such a thing." Wang Xifeng put down the teacup and said, "Since this is the case, I don't care about offending a few servants."

Ping'er and Feng'er looked at each other, and Ping'er said: "Grandma said that, as long as grandma can understand. Don't get angry because of this kind of thing."

Wang Xifeng smiled and shook his head and said: "Angry? I'm not, but I remembered something. Since I can bother the second wife to talk about it today, it must be courageous. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. .Since you are following me, you should also share my worries for me. Don't use my name to investigate this matter. Just check it out and deal with it according to the family rules. Don't always let me, a grandma, do this kind of thing. Just give me an order."

Ping'er and Feng'er naturally agreed, but Ping'er was worried. He was entrusted by someone a few days ago to seek favor from Wang Xifeng. Grandma pulled it out to block the gun.Thinking about it, the second mistress didn't want to show herself too much, so this offending job was naturally taken over by a maid like herself.

Naturally, among the servants, there are those who are bold and self-proclaimed to be smart, go to Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, to gossip.After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most delicate. Now that Wang Xifeng has gained power and power, naturally all the maids and women around Mrs. Zhang in the past will lose their power.So some people even thought about provoking disputes. It would be best if Mrs. Zhang punished and reprimanded Wang Xifeng, so that she would lose face and power.

Mrs. Zhang just listened to it, since she knew something about it when she was in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion earlier.It's just that at the time, I thought that since the old lady manipulated it, why bother to make the old lady unhappy by doing them?What's more, my house is the only place where it is today because of the care of the old lady. Now that my daughter-in-law has gained the trust of the old lady, and she has also taught the old lady a lesson for these ungrateful servants, I don't feel that there is anything wrong with it. On the contrary, I feel that Wang Xifeng has done a very good job.This kind of gossip-like servants exist in every mansion, and I don't like to see them, but after all, the mansion is vast and has a lot of people, so they can't all be cleaned up. Seeing Wang Xifeng's treatment like this, I think it's very good.Because he was afraid that someone would have nothing to do with the old lady, he went to see Jia Mu and told Jia Mu about it.

Shi Feier naturally got the letter early on. After all, most of what Wang Xifeng disposed of was his old department before. Shi Feier didn't take it seriously. What's more, not to mention that I still don't control it strictly.Now that something happened, most of these servants were related to relatives, so those who were still in the light naturally came to intercede.What's more, the thoughts of those servants are that they have been punished. After a while, when the old lady's anger subsides, she is going to intercede. In view of the past, it is good to make atonement.

Shi Fei'er directly made a rule that she can only reminisce about the past when she comes here, and if she talks about anything else, she will directly send people out.Anyway, I am Jia's mother, with the highest status in the mansion, I can do whatever I want, and no one dares to say anything.With the help of her maid, Wang Xifeng punished several leaders who slandered behind her back, but this time Wang Xifeng didn't directly go out to offend people, and let the servants take on the errands of offending people, and occasionally sold favors. The resentment in the government subsided a little.

On this day, Mrs. Wang rushed to look for Wang Xifeng with a letter.Wang Xifeng hurriedly invited Mrs. Wang into the room and asked her what was going on.Mrs. Wang sighed, and showed the letter to Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng was surprised when he saw it.

It turned out that this letter was written by Aunt Xue. The letter said that since she lost her husband and became a widow, she naturally suffered a lot in the Xue family. In Beijing, he wanted to take a pair of children to join him.Looking at the letter, Wang Xifeng also sighed.My aunt has a lot of fate. She lost her husband when she was young. It is not easy to pull these two children. Although the Xue family was originally a wealthy imperial merchant in Jinling, after the separation, even though they bear the name of the imperial merchant, they are not good at management. Yes, the family business seems to be slowly declining.I wanted to support him at first, but I asked a few old people in charge of the Wang family. Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, he shook his head repeatedly, saying that Xue Pan was too muddy to support the wall.He is very good at eating, drinking and having fun, meeting his younger brother, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, but he doesn't care about making a living at all.That is to say, there are still a few old house slaves in the Xue family who are loyal and guarding them, otherwise the family business would have been wiped out.

Wang Xifeng himself knew some of the previous situation, so he responded to this matter without opening his mouth, and asked Mrs. Wang what her plan was.Mrs. Wang shed a few tears and said: "I am just this younger sister, how can I bear not to help in such a situation now. But this mansion can't be in charge by itself, so I discuss it with you."

Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, it's better to find a yard for him in the capital, clean it up, and have a place to stay when he comes. As for making a living, we can talk about it when we settle down." urgent."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "I thought so too at first, but this time the Xue family came to Beijing and there is another matter, that is, your cousin Xue Baochai has the qualifications to be elected. If she lives outside at will, she may lose her status. One day when your younger sister Xue enters the palace, maybe their Xue family can get up again, if this is the case, it will be a good thing for them. Besides, it will be somewhat inconvenient for relatives to live outside, don’t you think so?”

Wang Xifeng frowned and said: "This is a big matter, and I can't make the decision. Why don't I ask the old lady and the wife to discuss it?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Now you are in charge of the mansion. It is not easy to tidy up a yard in the mansion. What's more, your wife has always been kind and hospitable. Even if you don't ask your wife about this matter, you can agree."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "What my aunt said is true, but even if my wife agrees, I have to inform my wife about cleaning the mansion. I also know that my aunt is anxious, but it's just a word if I ask about it. Aunt just wait for my reply."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree.Mrs. Wang did not tell the whole story this time, and she was afraid that if she told the truth, even if Wang Xifeng thought of her relatives, she would definitely not let Aunt Xue's family live in the mansion.

The fact that Xue Baochai was to be elected was indeed true, and the Xue family naturally saw this as an opportunity, but on the way to Beijing, Xue Pan robbed a girl and beat the original buyer to death.With just this one son, Aunt Xue spent money and relied on the power of the Wang family to bribe the officials who judged the case and sentenced him indiscriminately. The group went north again with the maid.Aunt Xue thought that when she came to the capital, it would be best to take advantage of the reputation of Jia's mansion to send Baochai into the palace. After all, Jia's mansion has two royal relatives, so it is naturally much more convenient.Aunt Xue's calculation is naturally very good.Mrs. Wang felt that if Xue Baochai could enter the palace, it would be a good thing for her side, so why not do it.

After seeing Mrs. Wang away, Wang Xifeng suddenly felt very tired, so she wanted to take a nap, but she didn't know that she fell asleep until Shen Shi, Wang Xifeng thought, this matter should not be rushed anyway, and it would be urgent to talk about it tomorrow.It happened that when Jia Lian came back at night, Wang Xifeng mentioned the matter to Jia Lian.

Unexpectedly, when Jia Lian heard this, his face turned black, and he said that it was not that he didn't like relatives to live in, but that Xue's family couldn't live in.Wang Xifeng was suspicious and asked why, Jia Lian said: "You don't know, this Xue Pan beat someone to death outside, and swaggered into Beijing without being questioned. I only got the letter, but I was very scared. I I heard that a censor has already known about this and is planning to participate in your uncle's book. You dare to let such people live in the mansion, isn't it harboring sinners?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned when he heard this.
