Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see Sister Feng stepping on the threshold, leaning on the door frame with her shoulders in her arms, and said with a smile:
"A good girl, she is articulate, concise and crisp, like a little knife. I like her.
I just don’t look down on those girls who think they are beauties, who only talk in words, use their accents, and make up their tunes, and speak in a roundabout way, pretending to be like mosquitoes.”
Then he said to Jia Lian:
"This girl has a sharp tongue, so she can be brought here to serve me. If I keep her in check, she will be very successful in the future."
Jia Lian just looked at Wang Xifeng and smiled, and suddenly asked Qingwen:
"Tell me the truth, what are you thinking about at this time?"
Qingwen was full of contempt for Baochai who had just unbuttoned her clothes to seduce Jia Lian, but then turned around and pretended to teach her a serious lesson. When Jia Lian asked her, she immediately replied:
"You talk a lot about saints and saints, but your heart is full of desires. You pretend to be virtuous and virtuous, but in fact you are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation."
Baochai's face changed immediately after hearing this, but she remembered to maintain a ladylike demeanor at all times, so she didn't show any blush.
Wang Xifeng was confused when he heard this:
"What is she talking about in such a polite way?"
Jia Lian was very satisfied with Qingwen - as expected, with this little girl's intelligence, she had studied with those great scholars at Heshan Academy in Suzhou, and she had become a smart and clear little "cute".
Why does such a little girl need Wang Xifeng to "condition" her?
So he smiled at Wang Xifeng and said:
"She gained a lot of knowledge when she followed me to Yangzhou. Now she reads and writes in the study every day. She is much better at serving Wenmo than Xing'er.
You already have a smart Ping'er as your helper, so you'd better leave this smart Qingwen to me as a helper."
Wang Xifeng heard that this was reasonable, but she still deliberately rolled her eyes at Jia Lian:
"Forget it if you don't pay. It's not like I can't find suitable people."
As if he suddenly saw Baochai, he said "Ouch" and greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Miss Bao? Why do you come to me at this hour?"
.
Although Baochai and Wang Xifeng are cousins, they almost never speak to each other.
Because Baochai has always regarded himself as a "smart person", he has always looked down upon Wang Xifeng, a "shrewd person".
Look at your Wang Xifeng's virtue of "not standing or sitting down"! How can it be compared with my dignified and generous ladylike behavior?
Look at your virtues of being illiterate and reading! How can you compare with me who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting (I can pretend to be ignorant even if I don’t understand)?
Let’s just say that you are the best housekeeper. Apart from being vicious and beating and scolding you, what else can you do? You deserve to have all the servants in this house be afraid of you and resent you. p>
And I, Xue Baochai, can win over everyone in the Jia family with just three melons, two dates, or a few words.
Now there is nothing in this house that I, Xue Baochai, cannot find out about, and there is no one who I can't control. Can you, Wang Xifeng, do it?
But God is unfair, how come you, an unlearned roughneck like you, can marry well?
You, Wang Xifeng, have become the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion. Now you have a third-grade imperial edict, but you don’t know what your reputation will be like in the future.
How come you, a bad guy with no morals, can live a good life in Jia's house? The old lady likes you, the mother-in-law doesn't dare to mess with you, and the husband is still capable. How can you, Wang Xifeng, deserve such a good life!
But I, Xue Baochai, still don’t know what kind of future I will have.
In order to marry Baoyu, our family had no choice but to live and die in Jia's house. We made up stories about our good relationship and Lengxiangwan, and told them to others over and over again.
But Baoyu is not only a useless little waste, but also always thinking about his "Sister Lin", and only treats me as a "big sister".
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Baochai hurriedly tried to calm down - there was no Lengxiang Pill around her at the moment, and once the "evil fire attack" brought from her mother's womb arose, she really couldn't control it.
.
Baochai secretly took a few deep breaths and smiled at Jia Lian:
"The old lady is too old to worry; Sister Feng is in confinement and needs to be taken care of. If my aunt hadn't personally told me three or five times that Grandma Zhu is busy with Lange'er's affairs, she wouldn't be able to do it.
Xian'er, the other girls are young, so they have no choice but to entrust me to take care of things in this house.
If I don't comply, it will obviously make the old lady and my aunt worry.
I was originally an idler. I was just a neighbor who had something to do, and people came to my door several times asking for help. Besides, it was my own aunt who asked me to help?
It's just that I'm a young girl after all, so I'm afraid something might go wrong, so I came here specifically to ask Brother Lian what to do about a few housekeeping matters.
However, Brother Lian has been very busy outside these days, so it was easy to meet him today, so I could only take advantage of this opportunity to ask him quickly.
It's not too late at this time, I will lead the people in the garden to inspect various places later before I can go back and rest."
.
Listen, listen, what Baochai said in this high-sounding article!
If I hadn't experienced her seduction in person just now, I would have thought that this precious girl in front of me must be such a kind and benevolent moral model.
Such a woman who is good at changing her face is much scarier than Wang Xifeng.
Jia Lian couldn't help but look deeply at Wang Xifeng.
.
Wang Xifeng was also known for his shrewdness, and he had long realized that Baochai's words were all excuses.
I was very glad that I had just arrived at Mrs. Wang's house. I saw my aunt casually chatting with me for a few words, and then asked me to go to the Buddhist hall to burn incense.
Wang Xifeng was thinking about Jia Lian, so she hurriedly pretended to be dizzy and escaped back to her small courtyard. As expected, she heard Baochai in the room educating Qingwen with righteous words, but Qingwen educated her back again.
Wang Xifeng didn't expect Baochai to have any thoughts about Jia Lian. She was just very unhappy with Baochai's behavior.
At this time, seeing Jia Lian's peach blossom eyes looking at her with tenderness, Wang Xifeng's heart moved:
Lian Er's eyes are so beautiful. No wonder he flirts with others outside. Just one look at his enchanting eyes would make any woman attracted.
If there hadn't been a treasure hairpin in the house, Sister Feng would have wanted to stick it to Jia Lian immediately.
With a roll of his eyes, Wang Xifeng immediately caught Baochai's words and said with a smile:
"Oh, let me just say, it's all my fault for the trouble during confinement. When my wife is in a hurry, this matter will be done in a hurry.
After all, this family matter in the inner house should only be handled by the wife and biological daughter of the family.
After all, Miss Bao is a relative. It would be hard for you to take care of our housework. If word spread, it really makes Miss Bao’s reputation not good.
Those who know, say that our relatives are not particular about being close to each other; those who don’t know, think that the girl from the Xue family is eager to marry into the Jia family, and can’t wait to get married, so she comes to take care of the house herself.”<
/p>
When Baochai heard this, his expression changed and he said coldly:
"This is what my aunt means. If you don't like it, just go to your aunt and tell her."
Wang Xifeng squinted and sneered:
"I would like to talk to the old lady and ask her if she knows if anyone said anything bad or bad at noon today?"
