Chapter 130 Please call me Mrs. Wang (9)

On that day, Wang Xifeng took Ping'er to pass by the garden and happened to hear two little maids chatting behind the rockery.

One said that he was about to pay the monthly money, and she had saved enough money to give it to her mother.

The other said that he had saved ten taels of silver and had already given it to his brother outside, asking him to let all the money go. In a few months, ten taels of silver could become fifteen taels.

The two little maids discussed it well, and became more and more excited as they spoke. They were obviously just a poor money in Wang Xifeng's eyes, but they said it seemed like they had made money.

Wang Xifeng laughed at the two little girls with little knowledge, and also secretly wrote down a word - putting money on seals.

When he returned to the East Courtyard, Wang Xifeng hurriedly called two nannies to discuss.

"Madam Feng, Madam Dong, you two are not outsiders, and I am not afraid of you two jokes about some things."

Wang Xifeng sent out all the maids in the house and said in a low voice: "Our Rongguo Mansion looks Xuanxuanhei from the outside, but the inside is empty. The investment is getting smaller and smaller every year, but the expenses are getting higher and higher. My aunt has been in charge of the house for several years, and I don't know how much dowry I have received."

When Wang Xifeng took over the feed, the account book and the warehouse were naturally handed over clearly.

I remember the Jia family’s accounts very clearly, how much money is spent every year, how much money is deposited in the account, every turn, every piece is registered.

Wang Xifeng has never read any books and does not know many words, but she can still understand the account book.

The problem was discovered at once: the Jia family's input was obviously less than the expenses, but the account had deposits for daily expenses.

Wang Xifeng knew that her aunt was just an ordinary woman and she didn't have the magical means to turn stones into gold, so she naturally wouldn't get money out of thin air.

Then there is only one conclusion, that is, my aunt used her dowry to make up for the Jia family's deficit.

Wang Xifeng secretly asked Caixia for clichés again in Rongxitang, which indeed confirmed her guess.

Wang Xifeng herself is a strong person, and she is young and holds the power of the housekeeper. She is full of her heart and eyes on how to manage the Jia family beautifully, making everyone admire her and praise her.

But the Jia family has only so much income. She is a woman in the inner husband. No matter how capable she is, she can't interfere outside.

Those who are in charge of the affairs outside are servants who have been with the Jia family for several lifetimes. The serious Jia family may not be favored by them, let alone her, a new wife who has just passed the door.

Wang Xifeng was very anxious in the face of the Jia family's financial difficulties, and she couldn't help but want to use her dowry to subsidize her several times.

By judging others by oneself, she felt that her aunt should be similar to her.

The Wang family is rich and the dowry is generous to her daughter, but the Wang family’s money is not blown by the strong wind. There is no reason to ask her to take the Wang family’s money to support the Jia family.

Wang Xifeng is used to being smart, so she is reluctant to suffer such a boring loss.

Just now, when he heard the little maid say something about the seal money, Wang Xifeng suddenly had an idea. She excitedly said to the two nannies, "I think that after the monthly payment is allocated by the outer accounting office, I don't rush to send it to the outside, and quietly take it out and let it go. After ten days and half a month, I will collect it back. I can get hundreds of taels of silver with just the profit."

From the master to the slaves, the Jia family had a total of hundreds of people, and the monthly money was several thousand taels of silver.

Such a large amount of money, even if you only lend for half a month, you will get a lot of profit.

Madam Feng and Madam Dong looked at each other and saw doubts and disagreements in each other's eyes.

Madam Feng suddenly asked, "Second grandma, where did you hear the money from the money?" A wealthy daughter, probably never even heard of a pawnshop. How did she know these methods of market?

"When I came back just now, I passed by the garden and listened to the two little maids chatting. Then I realized that there was something like putting money in the seal." Wang Xifeng said indifferently.

Madam Dong smiled, "What a coincidence. As soon as my second grandma found out that she didn't get enough money, someone was 'chatting' on her way home."

Wang Xifeng's face changed slightly, and she looked at Madam Dong in a hurry, "Madam, you mean someone deliberately—"

Wang Xifeng is not stupid. She just heard that this kind of thing can make money, and she was happy for a moment and didn't have to think about it carefully.

Now when Madam Dong said that, she also felt that there was something wrong.

"Haha, you can lend money for a few taels of silver. These slaves think very well. But the question is, who can they give it to?" Feng's mother also sneered.

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, yes, it must be a poor family who can be embarrassed by a few taels of silver. Can such a person repay nearly double the amount of silver in a short period of time?

The answer is certainly not.

So, this can only prove that the two little maids used their monthly money to talk about things, not really giving loans, but wanted to "recommend" someone who passed by the garden every day.

Looking at the entire Jia family, there is no one else who can do such a trick to calculate her except her stepmother-in-law Xing.

Xing's family can use this to frame her, which also shows that it is a trap to put money in the seal.

Wang Xifeng's expression changed constantly, and her eyes became colder and colder, "What a big lady, I haven't caused you trouble, you'll plot against me first!"

"Also, second grandma, putting money on seals is too harmful to good deeds. You may just want to make some profits, but the person below takes chicken feathers as a command arrow and exploits them layer by layer. If one is not done well, it will cause death."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng had figured it out, Madam Dong continued to persuade, "You have just passed by, and you are still a new wife and have not given birth to a child yet. If you get this thing in your hands, it may be a hindrance to your descendants."

Wang Xifeng shuddered, yes, if it was so good to put the stamp money, why would her aunt rather use her dowry to make up for the hole than to get it in her hands?!

Although my aunt married the second master Zheng Er who was not Cheng Jue, now the second master has also become an official in another place. My aunt has three more children, each of whom is smart and promising.

Just this, my aunt still eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha all day long, pitying the elderly and poor, and doing many good deeds secretly, fearing that she will not have enough merits to protect her children.

On the other hand, Wang Xifeng, just two days after she passed the door, Mr. Lian seemed to have changed his body, no longer had the same closeness to her as before, and went into the study to study all day long.

Wang Xifeng has known Jia Lian since she was a child. In her memory, did Master Lian become so motivated?

But Jia Lian seemed to be reborn. He was a man of sixteen or seventeen years old and suddenly started to study, and he still read like a lot.

This is not over yet. A few days later, Mr. Lian said that he didn't want to live in the west, so he moved back to the East Courtyard with a tough attitude.

I don’t know what he said to the master. The father and son were mysterious and kept in a precaution against her as the person beside him in everything.

Wang Xifeng is harsh and young, and doesn't know how to control her. Sometimes she can't stand Jia Lian's indifference, and she will lose her temper at him, or beat and scold the little girl, etc. to attract his attention.

As a result, Jia Lian grabbed the handle every time and scolded her mercilessly.

Wang Xifeng was scolded, wronged and sad, and wanted to change this situation even more.

The more anxious she is, the more likely she makes mistakes, and the more she makes mistakes, the more she gets scolded.

It seems to have become a vicious cycle.

She has been married for less than two months. The couple who should have been sweet and loving have already had a grudge and gradually become a resentful couple.

This situation did not change slowly until the two nannies arrived.

With the advice of Feng and Dong, Wang Xifeng no longer allowed Jia Lian to catch any mistakes. Although the relationship between husband and wife has faded, Wang Xifeng's dignity as Lian's second grandmother has been preserved.

Instead of being scolded by Jia Lian in front of Jia She and Mrs. Xing like in the past.

The couple's relationship is so weak that Wang Xifeng sometimes doubts whether it is right to marry into the Jia family or not.

But she is strong and will never allow herself to admit defeat.

Furthermore, how much sweet love does a couple in a wealthy family have? More than just living a life?!

As long as she has a child, she will be at ease in the future.

After figuring out these things, Wang Xifeng suddenly became a little overjoyed.

Yes, she doesn’t even have children now, and her husband is not caring. What is she trying to do for the Jia family?

If she really harms her good deeds and retribution is brought to her children, wouldn’t she be even more unfair?

"Thank you, both nannies, for asking me to leave."

Wang Xifeng solemnly thanked the two nannies, and then made up her mind secretly...
