Chapter 24
【Second update, please support.】
It’s the second day of the twelfth lunar month.
The father and son arrived at the stable before dawn, dismissed the groom on duty, and changed the wheel with ease.
After that, we waited for about half an hour before we saw about a dozen women and maids rushing towards Wang Xifeng.
The father and son hurriedly took a few steps forward to meet him, then stepped aside and waited by the roadside.
Wang Xifeng, covered with all the baggage, still came closer like a willow in the wind, tilted her head slightly and glanced at his father and son, and said in a loud voice: "Go on about your own errand first, and let Laishun follow."
Although she didn't have a long-term vision, she knew how to take care of the immediate situation - if Lai Wang couldn't collect the debt in time, the monthly payment of the house might be delayed again.
Although Lai Wang was a little worried, the Second Mistress gave her orders in public and there was no room for him to talk back.
Besides, since my son became enlightened, although he has some problems with being too ambitious, he is very safe in dealing with people and things, and he is more calm than himself when encountering problems.
So he respectfully agreed and went to find Ni Er to collect the debt without mentioning it.
Laishun first watched me seeing off the cheap man, and then watched Wang Xifeng get on the carriage.
It's a pity that the cloak was too tight and the maids protected her so well that they could not catch a glimpse of the second grandma's grace.
Just as I was feeling a little regretful, I suddenly heard someone scolding me softly: "What happened to you the day before yesterday? Why did you look so carelessly?"
But Ping'er deliberately stayed a few steps behind, waiting for the opportunity to come in front of Laishun.
The words sounded so smooth that I felt a shiver in my heart. I remembered that I had indeed exposed myself when I was absent-minded that day. I couldn't help but said nervously: "Sister Ping'er, what did the second grandma say?"
"Hmph~"
Ping'er glanced at him and said angrily: "Just because you came from home, if it were someone else who dared to be so unreasonable, how could she be willing to forgive you? But it's only this time, and she won't do it in the future.
Don’t you dare to mess around again!”
Laishun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er must have said nice things to me, I'd like to thank you in advance..."
"Stop playing tricks like this!"
Ping'er interrupted his playful smile and said angrily: "I came here with my grandma as a dowry, but now there are only a few of us left. I hope you will be well, but you should do the same."
Just be more stable."
After a pause, he added: "If things are going to happen this time, the Second Mistress will most likely find an outstanding maid from the Wang family to match you. You can ask Auntie to go and have a look around first, so as not to choose the wrong person when she arrives."
this……
Laishun's face suddenly fell. In the original book, most of the provocative maids were in Rongguo Mansion, and I didn't hear that the Wang family had any top talents.
What's more, what he has been thinking about since time travel is to capture Baochai and Daiyu when he gets rich. At the worst, he wants to find Xiangyun as his wife. How can he like the maids of the Wang family?
Ping'er could tell when there was a look on this face, and he joked half-seriously: "Why, do you look down on our provocativeness, or do you already have a sweetheart?"
"My sister really got it right."
Laishun smiled and said: "I heard that since my sister came to Rongguo Mansion, the Wang family has lost its disgrace. But now, how can they stand out?"
"Bah~"
Ping'er spat at him and gritted his teeth: "Thankfully, I helped cover it up when she was talking about you, but now even I dare to make a joke about it!"
"Sister, you are wrong to blame me. Everything I said is true. If there is even half a lie, call me..."
"Sister Ping'er, grandma wants you to get in the car!"
When Laishun was preparing to swear to heaven, a little maid came to invite Ping'er over there.
"I'll tell you later!"
Ping'er glared at Laishun one last time, and then hurriedly followed the maid to find Wang Xifeng.
Her last sentence seemed really annoying.
It's strange that Lai Shun took things too far. Feeling that he was inexplicably close to her, he couldn't help but use the glib tone of his previous life.
No!
It’s still the memory hidden in this body!
If he didn't feel that Ping'er was close to him for no reason, how could he forget about it?
After shamelessly passing the blame once again, Laishun finally calmed down and followed the carriage out of Rongguo Mansion.
I said I didn't care much about this matter, but when it came to this point, I still felt a little uneasy unconsciously.
So after leaving the corner gate, he couldn't help but want to get closer to the carriage so that he could listen to Wang Xifeng's comments.
But as soon as he took a few steps forward, several pairs of dead fish eyes stared at him. Although Laishun was not Jia Baoyu, he couldn't resist for a while and could only obediently retreat to the end of the line.
…………
The words are divided into two parts.
But when Ping'er got into the car, he saw Wang Xifeng closing his eyes and concentrating. He wanted to sit quietly on the side, but he heard Wang Xifeng ask with his eyes closed: "Have you told him?"
Ping'er still didn't hide it from her: "Lai's family has some relatives and friends over there. It sounds more convenient than us."
"You will be a good person."
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, but did not go into details, but directly ordered the woman driving the car to set off.
The carriage came out of the corner gate, and then marched sternly, surrounded by maids and women. It actually took half an hour to arrive in front of the east corner gate of Ningguo Mansion.
Seeing that the carriage was about to turn into Ningguo Mansion, Ping'er hurriedly shouted to Sheng, "Stop", and asked the woman driving the carriage if there was any difference between driving today and in the past.
The woman thought for a while and replied: "Maybe the animals have been taken care of well recently, so it's not difficult to pull up the cart."
Ping'er felt relieved, turned to look at Wang Xifeng, and then asked: "What about the other side? Is the car more stable and not as bumpy as before?"
"this……"
The woman driving the car frowned and thought for a while, then said sarcastically: "Maybe it's because the flesh on my butt is too thick, but I didn't feel any difference."
"Keep going!"
This time it was Wang Xifeng who spoke. She ordered: "Let everyone else get out of the way first, and you can run up and down the street with your arms open!"
The woman hesitated when she heard the words. Seeing that Ping'er stuck out his head and drove all the followers around to the roadside, she had no choice but to shake the reins and drive the draft horse forward.
The carriage ran to the east entrance of Ningrong Street, then turned back to the west; when it reached the west entrance of Ningrong Street, it turned back to the east.
When Zhongzhong stopped in front of Ning's Mansion again, before Ping'er could ask a question, the old lady rushed over and said: "Second grandma, Miss Ping'er, the car is indeed not as bumpy as before, and the horse is running faster than before."
Really, if I hadn’t held the reins, I might have been able to run even faster!”
In fact, she didn't need to say it, Wang Xifeng and Heping'er had already made their own judgments - they didn't notice the difference before, mainly because the speed was too slow and it was on flat ground, so there was nothing bumpy in the first place.
And according to the driver’s wife, the claim that these new tires can carry more cargo is probably true!
Thinking of the money scene described by Laishun, two red clouds appeared on Wang Xifeng's face unconsciously, and she couldn't wait to tell Ping'er: "As soon as you get back, let Laiwang and his wife come to see me and discuss how to do this deal!"
"
"Then Lai Shun..."
"Let him guard the carriage. Don't let others learn this trick!" Wang Xifeng said, glanced at Ping'er again, and added: "Don't worry, he has made such a great contribution, so naturally I can't treat him badly.
