One hundred and ninety six: The Steward of the East Mansion
Mother Jia smiled and said: "Even if Jing'er comes back, you sisters, don't pester him. He is now a serious man working outside. I don't know how many things bother him every day. Don't make any more trouble for him." Yes!" The Jia sisters all nodded when they heard this, but Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Oh! Now you can see it! After all, it is the old lady who loves her grandson more! There are fewer things that I didn't see in the past! Why haven't I seen the old lady? Madam, please help me sort out this gang of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, please don’t bother me?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Daiyu said with a smile: "What you said seems to be that we are difficult to deal with! It's obviously you who pesters us like candy, but now it's all our fault!" Wang Xifeng He smiled and said, "Look, look! This sister-in-law is the most difficult to deal with! I only talk a few words, but she doesn't know how much beauty is waiting for me!"
Everyone laughed, and Tanchun also laughed and said: "What Sister Lin said is correct. You don't necessarily have so many things to do on weekdays. Why do you listen to our little troubles? We are not children. !I can't live without you!" Wang Xifeng heard this and said with a smile: "You are delicate and frail, which one of you is not the old lady's favorite? I don't dare to neglect you! Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in front of the ancestors. Meet!"
Mother Jia pointed at her with a smile, then looked at Aunt Xue aside and said, "I can't point to anyone else. The only one I'm most proud of now is my granddaughter-in-law! There is nothing missing in the family, whether old or young. No matter how good she is, even if Jing'er is good, she is only doing it for herself. It's amazing that the whole family will take advantage of it. What can the old lady do to him? Only this grandson-in-law, the old lady, has been taken care of by her. Speaking of it, the old lady owes the Wang family. What a great favor to have such a granddaughter-in-law!"
Aunt Xue laughed when she heard this and said: "What the old lady said is a heretic. It's what she should do! What's the point of being a family? Even though I haven't seen Brother Jing in the past few days, I know he is from the sisters. Extraordinary brothers, they are all good, they are all good!" Jia's mother criticized the Jia family and praised the Wang family's daughter, but Aunt Xue could not climb the stick, but had to be modest. However, Wang Xifeng was very moved by this kind of The feeling of being recognized by everyone made the grievances she had been feeling all of a sudden come out.
Hiding aside and wiping her tears, Li Wan stepped forward and stroked her back comfortingly. The Jia sisters also felt a little sad. Mother Jia smiled kindly and said, "The more I praise you, the more noble you become." !What a happy person, but now he is like this!"
Daiyu also smiled and joked: "The more the old lady talks about her, the more hypocritical she becomes. Why not scold her, and then break her hypocrisy!" Wang Xifeng spat at Daiyu with tears in her eyes and said with laughter: "That's right. Mei'er doesn't know how to feel sorry for me, but she always thinks that I'm hiding an adultery!"
Daiyu snorted, and Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I just hope that you will meet a bunch of such sharp-tongued sisters-in-law tomorrow, so that you will know my difficulties!" Daiyu spat with a red face. Wang Xifeng took a sip, but just when she was about to confront Wang Xifeng, she saw Jia Lian rushing in and shouting: "What a joy! What a joy! Old lady!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wang Xifeng. Even Wang Xifeng couldn't help but blush a little. Then she glanced at Jia Lian angrily and said, "I can't explain it clearly! I don't know which one of you has a happy event!" Everyone heard this. They all laughed, and Jia Lian was a little confused, but Wang Xifeng would slander him from time to time and he didn't care at all.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "What happy news is there?" Jia Lian laughed and said: "The master just came back from the court, but he got good news. Now he is celebrating with the pilgrims in front. Just now he asked me to come back and say something to the old lady.
, Make the old lady happy too!"
Jia's mother became more and more confused and said, "This makes me even more confused. What's going on?" Jia Lian smiled and said, "The palace's reward for our second brother has come down! Our second brother has done a great job in quelling the rebellion and rescuing the enemy. Kudos to him."
Feng Jing Wu Bo! Enjoy the Flying Fish Jade Belt!" Upon hearing this, Jia Mu also stood up with great joy and said: "What did you say?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "The angels in the palace have already gone over to announce the decree. It was Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, who went to announce the decree in person! I guess someone from home will come to announce the good news soon!" Jia Mu heard this and said with great joy: "Okay! Okay.
Ah!" Just now, he said that no matter how big the family business Jia Jing made, he would not be able to take advantage of it, but now he is so happy...
Aunt Xue sneered and said with a smile: "It's amazing, this is a huge happy event! Congratulations to the old lady! It's time to have a big feast to celebrate for a few days!" Jia Mu smiled and nodded and said, "Auntie, this is great!"
That's very true! Lian'er, go ahead and send someone to ask your brother when he will come back to take care of this happy event."
Jia Lian went away with a smile when he heard this. Wang Xifeng looked at him and looked like a fool. He couldn't help curling his lips. Your brother has made you an uncle, as if you have made him an uncle! Jia Jing probably didn't even think so.
What's going on, I don't know why you are so excited!
Jia's mother smiled again and said: "Pass it on! You will be rewarded today!" So the maids also went down happily, and the Jia sisters also seemed extremely excited. The next time they meet again, Brother Jing will become an uncle! This
But Gongjue! Only Daiyu still smiled lightly, and Xichun asked doubtfully: "Isn't Sister Lin happy for my brother?" My brother obviously loved you very much in the past!
Daiyu smiled and said: "You know what kind of person the second brother is. Since you have known his abilities for a long time, how can you be happy because of this? You are having fun here, and he can't see it. Isn't it all in vain?
Put on a smiling face?" Wang Xifeng heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! No matter how absurd this is, it seems to be that way from our mouths!"
Daiyu spat at her angrily and said, "How can you be wrong but you can't explain it! You just have to be tough with me!" Baochai on the side heard the words and said with a smile: "I think what Yan'er said is reasonable.
But we might as well celebrate for my second brother first. He is back, and he will be a different person in front of him. It is just a matter of intention. As long as you have the intention, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone nodded in approval after hearing this. Daiyu also snorted softly and turned her head. She didn't know who her second brother was. She didn't even say a few words to her, but she called her brother first!
They all have good intentions. Could it be that I have no good intentions? Daiyu squinted her eyes slightly. She could tell at a glance that this sister Bao was a treacherous person! I don’t know what the eight-faced Linglong was like. I’m afraid she was so scheming.
Just like briquettes! But it has won the favor of so many people. It seems that I am a petty person!
Baochai knew from the look of Daiyu that she was unhappy. She didn't know why this sister seemed to be prejudiced against her from the beginning, but it didn't matter. Baochai knew that no one could refuse her kindness.
No matter how cold the stone is, she is confident that she can warm it up. It's just a matter of time...
…
But here Jia Lian and others hurriedly took people out, only to see a long row of cars coming all the way on Ningrong Street. Jia Lian was just wondering when he saw a middle-aged man getting out of the car headed by Jia Lian. Then he glanced at his young man Wang'er, who nodded knowingly and stepped forward and shouted: "Hey! What do you do? Why do you drive the car to the door of your house?"
After hearing this, the man turned around and glanced at Wang'er, and then saw Jia Lian behind Wang'er. He looked at Jia Lian, then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "But Mr. Lian is in person?" Jia Lian frowned slightly when he saw this. : "It's me, who are you? What do these do?"
The man smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I am acting on my master's orders." Jia Lian became more and more confused and asked: "Your master? Who is your master?" The man smiled and said: "It is the master of Ningguo, Jing'an Bo Jing's Second Master! The younger one is Wang Fuzhong, the chief steward of the East Mansion, and the second master Lian, whom his old man personally appointed. We have met today, so please be more considerate of them in the future."
Jia Lian said "oh" in a daze, and then said: "Ah, you are, you are my second brother's housekeeper?" Wang Fuzhong smiled and bowed: "Exactly." Jia Lian scratched his head, what did Lai Sheng do? ?It sounds like I haven’t seen Lai Sheng and his wife for a long time. What’s going on?
But this is Dongfu's own business after all. Jia Lian shook his head and shook it off, pointing at the carriage roads: "What are these for?" Wang Fuzhong said with a smile: "Back to the Second Master, these are Tobo The slaves trained by my husband, Mr. Long Xi, will later work in the Dong Mansion."
Jia Lian felt that today was really strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, so he nodded blankly, and then said: "Does that mean that from now on..." Wang Fuzhong nodded and said: "That's right. After the uncle returns to the house, the Dongfu will reopen. From now on, the matters in the house will mostly be handled by the small ones. If I do something wrong, please point out what I did wrong."
Jia Lian oh-ohed twice more, and then looked blankly at the servants who were busy with things. Then he turned his head and said: "Speaking of which, I do have something to trouble you." Wang Fuzhong ouched and said: "Don't worry. Don't bother me. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions." Jia Lian nodded and regained a little bit of the flavor of the second master of Rongguo Mansion. He put his hands behind his back and said: "Our old lady said, your uncle, um, my second brother, this matter It's a big happy event, and we have to take care of it. Since you are the chief steward of your East Mansion, I will ask the chief steward of your West Mansion to come to you later, and you two can discuss how to handle this matter."
Wang Fuzhong smiled and said, "My uncle has already ordered this matter." Jia Lian blinked and said, "Really? My second brother is even thinking about this matter?" Wang Fuzhong nodded and said, "As my uncle meant, yes. "You don't want to do something big..." Jia Lian blinked and said, "Don't want to do something big? No... what does this mean?"
