Ping'er thought about a lot of words to persuade Sister Feng before entering the door. At this time, he was scolded in the face. He was very aggrieved. He bowed his head and stood aside without speaking.
Sister Feng saw that she was speechless, but she couldn't hold it in anymore:
"Are you a gourd with a sawed mouth? Or do you forget everything as soon as you see a man?
I want you to explain it clearly to him, and if he is willing to listen to me, then we can return to business as usual and don’t let him feel shameless.”
Ping'er said softly:
"The second grandma wants to overpower the second master in everything, but why bother?"
Wang Xifeng immediately raised his red and phoenix triangle eyes:
"Bah! He has no future, and he still blames me for holding him down?
Who am I? I am the daughter of the royal family of Jinling.
Our ancestors had the Du Taiwei in charge of the county princes, who had the real power over the entire country.
When my grandfather was still alive, he was solely responsible for the tributes and congratulations from various countries. Whenever foreigners came, it was our family that supported them. All the cargo on foreign ships in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Zhejiang belonged to our family.
My uncle is the governor of the capital. Who can surpass him in the capital? Now, another letter has come, saying that he is about to be promoted again. Although he has not yet been confirmed to be the governor of nine provinces, there is a high probability that he will be the governor of the nine provinces.
.
What is the virtue of their Jia family? Weasels breed rats - one generation is worse than the other! The few stipends and money they bring in every year are not enough to buy rat medicine!
Last time I said, "Sweep the cracks in my Wang family's floor, it will be enough for you to live a lifetime." He didn't like to hear it, bah! Tell them to open their eyes and take a look at my wife's and my dowry, and then compare them.
Compared to the Jia family, he raises his head in front of me? He is not afraid of shame!
Ping'er, tell me, in the two years since I married him, has he done anything serious?
He donated his money to a fifth-rank official. How many times did you see him going to the Yamen a month?
In addition to drinking and having fun every day, he just stole and molested. There was no one he wouldn't drag into the house, including those who stole men's wives, shameless widows, bitches in brothels, and prostitutes in secret doors. p>
Everyone said that I controlled him like an overlord, but he still hasn't calmed down. If I indulge him again, won't he be completely useless?
Ping'er, you know me. The eldest uncle of my family is very capable, but my father only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I am the only daughter in my family. If I don't live up to my expectations, our second wife will be disgraced. I have to fight for this, saying that I can’t let anyone compare me to anything else.
But look at him again! I asked him to listen to me, but I didn’t harm him? Did he lose his temper? He deserves it!"
The more Wang Xifeng talked, the more angry she became. She grabbed a large golden and red multicolored lotus bowl from the official kiln on the table, and smashed it on the ground, causing flowers to bloom all over the floor.
"I was blind back then, so I fell in love with his useless embroidered pillow!"
Ping'er naturally remembered that Sister Feng had made several quarrels with knives and scissors at home in order not to marry Jia Zhen but to marry Jia Lian. At this time, when she saw her eyes filled with tears, she could only hold it back with all her strength, but she also softened her heart and stepped forward to persuade her: p>
"Why bother getting angry again?
I understand that the second grandma is a strong person and hopes that the second master will know how to make progress.
But didn’t he go to the Yamen again to take charge of things? Doesn’t this mean he wants to make progress? Why is the Second Mistress not willing?”
Wang Xifeng patted the table and said:
"Do you believe him?
Does he want to make progress? He just wants to get angry with me!
If I don't give him any money, he keeps running away from home and doesn't come back at night.
I transferred one Xing'er, and he transferred three or four. They even went to the old lady and took away my power if I behaved well.
Now he found an excuse to beat Sister Shan, and even asked the Lin Zhixiao family to take her to Manfu to take her for a parade. He is trying to ride on my head!
I just won’t let him be proud!”
Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng was a person who got drunk the more she persuaded her, so she changed the topic:
"It's late at night. Let's get some rest now. We have to go to the old lady's house early tomorrow morning. If you don't feel energetic, you'll make people laugh."
Sister Feng felt that it made sense after hearing this, and said with her hands on the two suns:
"I'm so angry that I have a headache today."
Ping'er helped her sit down next to the dressing table, and asked the little girl to clean up the broken porcelain bowl quickly. Then he came back and helped Sister Feng remove her makeup, and said softly:
"What a coincidence, Second Master also has a headache.
I watched him keep rubbing his temples with his hands, and his face didn't look good. Before I even left the room, he had already fallen asleep on the kang."
Sister Feng said "Huh?":
"Did he sleep alone again?"
Ping'er combed Sister Feng's hair, nodded and said:
"Isn't that right? Second Grandma, Second Master is really different this time than before. I can see that he is about to do something."
Sister Feng opened Ping'er's hand:
"Stop speaking for him! I can't listen."
Ping'er thought for a while and continued:
"He said that he didn't want to use the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles to suppress his second wife, nor did he want his second wife to use her temper to suppress him.
He also said that people in this world must change their minds and respect each other to survive.
Second Mistress, if you think about it carefully, can a foolish person say these words?"
Wang Xifeng just remained silent.
Until he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly pulled Ping'er and asked:
"Is it true that he slept alone?"
.
Jia Lian was exhausted and slept until noon of the next day.
The reason why I woke up was entirely because I was too hungry.
When I opened my eyes, I found that there was still the sesame paste that Ping'er had sent last night on the table - Damn, I was so excited last night that I finally forgot about such delicious sesame paste.
Regardless of the fact that it was already freezing cold, Jia Lian quickly dressed and wanted to eat something quickly.
Perhaps he was too hungry. When Jia Lian got out of bed, he felt dizzy and sat down on the bed again.
Long'er, who was outside the door, heard something moving in the house, and immediately came in with a washbasin in hand, waiting for Jia Lian to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
While Jia Lian was washing his face, his eyes couldn't help but stare at the bowl of cold sesame paste on the table - if I had woken up from hunger in my previous life, I would have eaten first and then washed my face.
Long'er prepared warm water for Jia Lian to rinse his mouth and said slowly:
"Early this morning, before the second master got up, Sister Yuanyang from the old lady's house came over to our yard.
He said that there is no need for the second grandma to go there. After the old lady takes a nap for a while, she will ask the second master to go over with the second grandma. The old lady has something to say."
After washing up, Long'er had just carried the basin out, and Jia Lian had already strode to the table, picked up the bowl and was about to drink the sesame paste.
Just listen to Ping'er chuckle:
"Where are you so hungry?"
While talking, he walked up and took the bowl of sesame paste from Jia Lian's hand:
"It hurts the stomach, it's not good."
He said towards the door:
"Place food for the second master."
Jia Lian saw the little girl neatly placing four plates of dishes, a bowl of rice and a large bowl of soup on the table, especially among them was a fish fillet, which was Jia Lian's favorite dish.
Ping'er whispered:
"She didn't say anything last night.
This morning, I gave me money and asked the small kitchen to prepare a menu for the second master. These four dishes are all the second master’s favorites."
.
On the way to Jia Mu's side, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng walked slowly side by side.
After a long while, Wang Xifeng finally spoke:
"Since the old lady has asked the second master to take charge of the household affairs, it is necessary to have some help. Then the eight boys in the yard cannot be transferred anywhere, and we may need to add more people."
When Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng take a step back first, he also took a step back:
"Zhu'er, Shou'er, Xi'er, Qing'er belong to you, Xing'er, Long'er, Zhao'er, and Fu'er belong to me. Wherever we are busy, we will discuss and arrange them."
After walking a few more steps, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian in a low voice:
"The old lady asked us to come over. I wonder what the big deal is?"
