Wang Xifeng is just a granddaughter-in-law in the Jia Mansion, and she is also the unpopular granddaughter-in-law of the big house. If Mrs. Wang hadn't asked her to help because of her lack of energy in recent years, where would it be Wang Xifeng's turn to take charge of the affairs in the Rongguo Mansion?<
/p>
At this time, seeing Mrs. Wang scorning her face, Wang Xifeng quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"Lian Er is a confused person. After drinking alcohol, he can't distinguish between good and bad inside and outside. I scold him a lot for this, but he just doesn't make progress.
As for Miss Bao's marriage, I didn't tell him. He didn't know anything, and it was not his turn to interfere. The wife just ignored him.
The wife has the most extraordinary discernment. Miss Bao and Xiren are a rare pair of good wives and concubines. It is difficult to find them even with a lantern. Brother Bao is very lucky this time.
I'll look at it again. Miss Bao has a plump body and fair skin. She is born with the appearance of a man. She is perfect for a prosperous husband and a son. When the time comes to have two children in three years, my wife will be extremely happy."
Her last two sentences touched upon the soft spot in Mrs. Wang's heart. She felt much better and said:
"You are also pregnant, sit down and talk."
Aunt Xue also said:
"Sit down and sit down, I will know that you are a sensible person and can distinguish between home and outside."
Mrs. Wang twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and frowned:
"You all know that I am a Bodhisattva who only wants to have a leisurely life, but you don't know that there are many difficulties here, which are all boring in my heart.
Even with my own family, I don’t shy away from it. Now that Pearl is gone, Baoyu is my lifeline. I have been fasting and chanting Buddha’s name all year round, all for him.
Everyone knows that the old lady loves Baoyu, but my love for Baoyu really hurts my bones and my heart.
When I first got married, I saw the old lady doting on Ms. Lin’s mother. How pampered she was before she came out of the court? How noble and noble she was? Compared with the dignity of her rich daughter, these sisters in our family now,
She is only slightly stronger than the girl under her hand.
Now that Miss Lin's mother has passed away, the old lady has lost her daughter, and she only loves her daughter's daughter.
Ever since Miss Lin came to our house, the old lady had only left her and Baoyu to live with her, letting them hang out together day and night, without food and accommodation being separated.
Yu'er screamed, saying, "It's not like enemies don't get together", as if they were afraid that the superiors and subordinates wouldn't understand.
I told the master in private that it was inappropriate, but the master blamed me for being meddlesome. He only said that the old lady had her own sense of propriety in doing things, but what else could I say?
My Baoyu is a sincere idiot. The first time he saw Miss Lin, he fell ill and said, "I have seen this sister before." He even narrowly escaped breaking the jade he brought in the womb.
Are you going to kill me? It can be seen that these two have long-standing grievances and cannot be together.
Besides, Miss Lin's body is as soft as paper. She has been weak since she was a child and has taken medicine since she was able to eat. It is enough that I am the sick and painful one in the family. How can we add another sick Xi Shi to cause trouble?
”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly said:
"Hey, that's not the case. Miss Lin looks like a 'beauty lamp', and it will break when the wind blows." After saying that, he blew a breath, spread his hands, and made a grimace.
Aunt Xue covered her mouth and smiled:
"I just love Feng Yatou's mouth. Everything she says sounds good."
Mrs. Wang just couldn’t stop twirling her beads:
"I don't care about the others. This gem is my heart and soul. No one can take it away.
Now I only have hope for him. If Baoyu wants to get ahead in the future, he still has to study and make progress. Without Bao Yatou to persuade me, I won't worry."
Aunt Xue smiled and said:
"Madam, don't worry, Bao Yatou can't enter the palace now. Don't we have a 'good match' here?
No matter how well-matched the family is, it’s still a big deal.”
"Oh - it's a pity. If Bao girl can be chosen to enter the palace, she will definitely become the right hand of the virtuous concubine, right?
With both her sisters enjoying the blessings in the palace, don’t we sisters have more to rely on?”
When Aunt Xue heard what Mrs. Wang said, the smile on her face instantly faded:
"Don't mention this. In order to let Bao Yatou enter the palace, since we arrived in the capital, we have sent out not only 10,000 but also 8,000 yuan to various places.
That time, it was at the last minute that I brought up Pan'er's matter again and said it was impossible to pass the test."
Sister Feng took another look at the opportunity and interjected:
"There are good people who enter the palace, and there are good people who don't. They are all our family. Wouldn't it be more lively to see Tian'er gather together, talk, and play cards?
Let me tell you, the thing that my wife is worried about right now is that she is holding a golden rice bowl and says she is not getting rich.
Now the empress in the palace is the meat that fell from the wife’s belly. How can she not be devoted to the wife?
If my wife says something, can she agree?
She has spoken, who else dares to resist?
Isn’t this what my aunt said just now, ‘No matter how well matched we are, it’s not a big deal’?
No one can do anything about the imperial edict that fell from the sky?"
A few words made both Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue nod their heads.
Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to please again:
"The matter regarding Sister Xue is finally settled.
I thought it would be better to be overjoyed, so I just gave it to Xi Ren and left it in the house for Brother Bao justifiably."
Mrs. Wang turned away:
"Now that Xiren is a girl, even if she indulges in some indulgence, Baoyu can still listen to her advice. If she crosses the road and becomes a follower, Xiren won't dare to persuade her as much as he should.
Now let’s wait and see in two or three years, and I’ll be sure by then.”
Aunt Xue nodded and said:
"That's exactly what they said. At their age, who doesn't 'eat from the bowl and look at the pot'?
Let's just say Pan'er, for the sake of that girl Xiangling, I even fought to death. In the past year, how many famines have you fought with me just to prevent Xiangling from getting it?
I have been watching her for a year, and I feel that this Xiangling is not only good-looking, but also behaves differently than other girls. She is gentle and quiet, and even the other girls who are similar to her are not as good as her.
After that, he went to the trouble of setting up a banquet and entertained the guests, and made Pan'er his concubine in an upright manner.
The result? Not even half a month later, he looked like the wind in the stable, which is really a pity."
Mrs. Wang thought of Xiangling's watery appearance, and then thought of Xiren, and seemed to feel a little wronged by her son, so she said again:
"Although Xi's life is average, he has been silent since childhood and is a mouthless gourd, but the most important thing is his reliable character.
Old ladies always like beautiful and smart people, but I just don’t like those fairies.
Last time, everyone sent us a girl like Qingwen. She had a slim waist, slender shoulders, and her eyebrows looked a bit like your sister Lin. Fortunately, she didn't go to the Baoyu House. Otherwise, she would have ruined my good young man.
."
Sister Feng felt sour in her heart when she heard this, and curled her lips and said:
"Madam is absolutely right. No, the old lady sent that goblin into my room. Fortunately, I asked Ping'er to keep an eye on her every day, so Lian Er's unscrupulous seed didn't get his hands on it. Let me find an opportunity to get rid of that little naughty boy."
(Aunt Xue: In order for my precious girl to marry Baoyu, I am here to ask for collection, recommendation, and support on behalf of the author.)
