However, it was said that Wang Xifeng collapsed on the ground since the day of the beating and lay in bed sickly for three days. To the outside world, she only said that she was overworked.
The old lady felt sorry for Sister Feng after all. In addition to sending Sister Feng's daily dishes, she also gave her two extra plates of exquisite side dishes and a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
He also ordered Yuanyang to come over and send a message, saying that Sister Feng must rest in peace, because the child in her belly was more important.
Sister Feng held in her grievances for a long time, but she couldn't say it out. She just said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, old lady, for me."
Yuanyang only thought that she was not feeling well, so she went back and told Jia Mu, who felt that Sister Feng should be allowed to recuperate earlier.
.
Sister Feng fell ill, and the servants in the Rongguo Mansion first heard that Li Wan was the temporary housekeeper. Everyone knew that this widowed grandma was a person who only rewarded but not punished, and was far easier to deal with than Sister Feng, so they were secretly happy.
When they heard that the housekeeper had added Baochai and Tanchun, everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, these two are girls who have not left the boudoir, and they are usually peaceful and calm, unlike Sister Feng who is so ruthless and ruthless.
Love.
Later, rumors spread secretly that Baochai was going to become "Second Grandma Bao" and completely replace Sister Feng's housekeeper. At that time, everyone had their own plans in mind, fearing that Miss Baochai would be more shrewd and cautious than Sister Feng and would be difficult to deal with.
Those night watchers who followed Baochai's sedan into the night patrols every day soon began to complain loudly:
"I just poured a 'Zhenshan Taisui', and added a 'Xunhai Yaksha', so that people didn't even have the time to secretly eat wine and play cards at night."
In fact, it was only the first day that I really complained. On the second day, I understood: this is Miss Bao's "love" for everyone, and she deliberately lets everyone get what they want.
So, in the following days, everyone continued to pretend to complain, but in fact it was to buy good things for Miss Bao - Miss Bao deliberately let us play at night, how could we not help Miss Bao gain a good reputation as "diligence and seriousness"?
?How can we not take the opportunity to say, "When Sister Feng was the housekeeper, we occasionally drank and played cards, but now that Miss Bao is the housekeeper, we have completely stopped drinking and playing cards."
.
Baochai is a person who will get into trouble no matter what happens.
It just so happened that these days, Xue Pan's Nanhuo shop made purchases and packed up a batch of pens, inks, inkstones, various colored papers, sachets, fragrant beads, fans, fan pendants, pollen, rouge oil and other items from the south.
Baochai asked someone to carry a small brown box with plywood in it and give it to others for use.
Baochai saw a lot of things and immediately sorted them out one by one. According to the preferences of everyone in the Jia family, some gave pens, inks, paper and inkstones, some gave sachets, fans and pendants, and some gave powder, hair oil, etc., one by one.
Everyone in the Jia family and his own generation were sent away.
Especially when he went to Jia Huan's place, he deliberately added a portion of makeup, powder, and hair oil in addition to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which was considered a double portion, knowing that it would definitely fall into the hands of Aunt Zhao.
Baochai smiled kindly at Jia Huan and said:
"These are all small items from the south. It's just a novelty to give to Brother Huan. When Miss Lin comes back, the ones she brings will definitely be better than mine."
Jia Huanbai got the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sure enough, he gave the makeup, powder and hair oil to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao closed the door, picked up the makeup, powder and hair oil one by one and looked at them again and again, tut-tutting:
"Miss Bao is Miss Bao, she is generous and good at being a good person.
She delivers all these things door to door, even those like us who are unlucky, so she is a kind person. If she is the housekeeper in the future, won’t we ladies also be able to take advantage of it?”
Jia Huan followed Xue Pan in the casino recently and secretly made a lot of money. He began to dislike Aunt Zhao for her scorpion-sting and family-like manner. She glanced at his mother and said:
"If you hope to gain favor from her housekeeper, you might as well hope for me to marry Miss Lin quickly.
Marrying a young lady from the Lianghuai Salt Patrol Censor’s Family will make us fat with just the dowry, not to mention the glory in our faces.
Since the empress in the palace has taken charge of Baoyu’s marriage, why doesn’t anyone worry about my marriage?
It’s okay for the old lady to just leave it alone, why don’t you hurry up and talk to my father? Bai said that he sleeps here every night, why don’t you do something big for your wife?”
Aunt Zhao unscrewed the cap of a bottle of hair oil, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled:
"Tsk, the smell of this osmanthus is really ten times better than what I usually use.
Why are you so anxious? How old are you? Are you so anxious to get engaged?"
Jia Huan pouted:
"Let me tell you something that they don't even know.
We are building some sort of provincial residence for relatives. Now that we are halfway through building it, we are running out of money. I heard that we are going to have to borrow money.
Why don't you quickly arrange a good marriage for me while this family is still decent? How much money can we get between us when they are dead?"
Aunt Zhao gave her son a roll of her eyes and spat:
"Just listen to that bastard Hu Qin outside! Where did it get to this point?
In this family, if the only one who can ruin the family is the master."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and stretched out two fingers.
Jia Huan also rolled his eyes at Aunt Zhao and said nothing.
Aunt Zhao curled her lips and gritted her teeth:
"Master, if I don't teach her to move all the Jia family's belongings to her parents' house, I won't be a human being!
But now that she is ill, isn’t it that God can’t bear to look down upon her? If I could repay her alive, it would relieve the hatred in my heart!”
"Even if she dies, can this set of furniture be in my hands?"
At Jia Huan's words, Aunt Zhao immediately slapped her thigh hard:
"Oh, God has shown his power!
My Huan'er has grown up and become sensible! I finally have hope!
Isn't that what you said? Only one of her fell down, and there is a living dragon-like Baoyu over there. Now everyone in the family is supporting him, and we girls will never be able to get ahead until we die.
My son, you have to make a good deal with your mother, why can’t we two be killed by letting others manipulate us?”
Jia Huan chuckled:
"You have to mess up all of them. You can only fish in troubled waters, my dear mother."
.
On the second day, while Mrs. Wang was away, Aunt Zhao took the things Baochai had sent and happily came to the old lady's room, and said with a smile:
"Miss Bao gave these to Brother Huan yesterday.
It’s really hard for a girl like Miss Bao, who is so young, to think so thoughtfully about everything. She is really a girl from a wealthy family, so showy and generous, how can people not respect her? No wonder the old lady and the whole family praise her.
Love her.
I didn’t dare to put it away just because I wanted to, so I brought it to the old lady to have a look at, so that she would also like it.”
The old lady glanced at her and said lightly: "Go and do your business."
Aunt Zhao got frustrated, walked out, returned to her room, threw her things on the kang, propped her butt on the stool and sulked:
"No one in this family treats us two as human beings."
Jia Huan listened to her story and said with a smile:
"It's better if the old lady is unhappy. If they were all happy, there would be no chaos, my mother."
