What Mrs. Wang admires is thick and clumsy people - rough and clumsy people are easy to handle, so Mrs. Wang never feels that she is a stupid person.
Can a person who knows how to manipulate others be a fool?
Because of this, Mrs. Wang likes her niece Xue Baochai rather than her niece Wang Xifeng.
First of all, in terms of personality and behavior, Baochai and Xiren are the same kind of stupid and steady children, cautious and cautious, making people feel reassured in their actions, and more importantly, easy to handle.
The second thing is, from the perspective of family background, with the current decline of the Xue family, how can Baochai, who has no support from her natal family, dare not to fawn over and rely on her aunt? But Wang Xifeng, who is also from the Wang family like himself, is different. The Wang family is a military general.
Origin, daughter of the Wang family
They are all born with a domineering nature, and they always strive to get the best, both covertly and covertly. It’s just that Wang Xifeng’s father is incompetent, and she relies on the power of her second uncle Wang Ziteng in her natal family. But now she relies on Jia Lian to make a living.
Obviously not as obedient and easy to handle as before.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but lament in her heart:
The calculation was very good at the beginning. I could not move my body or move my arms, and only commanded Wang Xifeng to do things for me from behind, so that I could get the benefits without taking the risks. I was regarded by everyone as a kind-hearted Bodhisattva wife, and only let
Wang Xifeng, the vanguard, became the yaksha woman who was burdened and offended. The housekeeper was a dog for three years, and Wang Xifeng didn't know how to restrain herself. Everyone in the house, except the old lady, hated her with all their teeth.
As soon as Baochai married Baoyu, he immediately took action and replaced the bitter, vicious "Second Grandma Lian" with the gentle, kind, generous and thoughtful "Second Grandma Bao". Wouldn't he become the "Secret Grandma Bao" for the Jia family?
The great hero who "brought order to things out of chaos"? Wouldn't everyone in the Jia family be even more grateful to themselves, the great Bodhisattva who saved the suffering?
It's a pity, it's a pity that despite all the calculations, I missed Jia Lian, the root of the disaster...
Anyway, since Baochai can't get married for a while, and she, a smart person, can't show off her talents, now that her brother Wang Ziteng wants her to encourage the Jia family to celebrate Jia Lian's son's birthday, she still has to instigate Wang Xifeng to come forward.
So Mrs. Wang sent her roommate Zhou Rui's family to go to Wang Xifeng's house several times on the pretext of delivering something, just to urge Wang Xifeng to hurry up and take action.
But for three days in a row, neither Jia Mu spoke, nor Jia She made any comments, nor did Jia Lian see any movement. Seeing that there were less than ten days left before Jia Lian's son was full moon, Mrs. Wang was really sitting there.
Can't stand it any longer.
Mrs. Wang burned incense in the Buddhist hall, kowtowed, and recited sutras for a while. The ebony beads were spinning in her hands. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she simply brought a little girl close to her with her.
Walk straight to Sister Feng's house.
As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the courtyard, someone reported to the house:
"The wife is here."
Ping'er hurriedly brought the girl and mother-in-law out to greet her. Wang Xifeng also said hurriedly through the window in the house:
"I'm not allowed to go out to greet my wife during my confinement here. I'm rude. Please forgive me, madam."
Mrs. Wang didn't respond at all and went straight to Sister Feng's room and sat down in the main seat.
Sister Feng had already hurriedly got off the kang when she saw Mrs. Wang's unkind expression.
She stood up rashly, feeling dizzy for a moment and swaying. She quickly held on to the kang table, and then said with a smile:
"My wife came to my place to hang out. I seemed to like it, but she just didn't live up to her expectations for a while. You think this is very irritating."
As he spoke, he pushed away Ping'er, who was about to step forward to support him. He bravely went to the table to pour the tea himself and served it to Mrs. Wang with a smile:
"Madam, please don't worry about my rudeness. I don't have the good fortune of my wife. It took a lot of effort for me to give birth to a brother, but I have already consumed myself with consumption and injuries. Even now, I still feel dizzy every time I fall to the ground."
, it feels like I have stepped on cotton under my feet, making my wife laugh at me for being hopeless."
Mrs. Wang didn't appreciate Wang Xifeng's flattery, she just kept a calm face and said nothing.
Wang Xifeng lowered her eyes and guessed the purpose of Mrs. Wang's visit. She quickly ordered the maids and women waiting outside:
"It's all gone."
Then he turned to Ping'er beside him and said:
"I haven't heard a cry from my brother all morning, which makes me feel uneasy. Go and have a look at the nanny's room. I won't stare at it, just because I'm afraid she will be lazy. By the way, you can use the nanny's milk to wipe my brother.
When wiping his face, be sure to be gentle, as his flesh and skin are tender."
Ping'er understood that this was Sister Feng's intention to send him out, so he quickly lowered his head and responded, taking all the little girls out of the house with him, and closed the door when he went out.
Seeing that there was no one in the house or courtyard, Mrs. Wang said with a gloomy face:
"Why haven't you heard anything about what your second uncle told you? You want me to come to your door in person to urge you and invite you? Are you turning a deaf ear to your second uncle's words? We, the Wang family, are of the same mind, have you forgotten this?
How did your father teach you? Are you still a member of the Wang family?"
The sudden burst of thunder and smoke made the smile on Wang Xifeng's face freeze instantly.
Mrs. Wang herself didn't know which emotion was touched. Tears filled her eyes and she sighed:
"When your father and uncles decided that you should marry Jia Zhen as their second wife, you refused to agree, not because Jia Lian was better at it than Jia Zhen.
Hum, these men can't understand, I can't guess? You just think that Jia Zhen is old, in fact, you have already fallen in love with Lian Er in your heart, so you made so many excuses. Why don't you think about it, no?
I'll discuss it with your second uncle, and finally get what you want?
Think about it again, if you marry the daughter-in-law in the main house of Rong Mansion, even if the master asks Lian Er to come over and be the housekeeper of Rong Mansion, you should move to the east garden to live with your parents-in-law. I said it in front of the old lady again.
You are careful and capable, so I asked you to take care of my house so that you two can live here in Rong Mansion. How much have I trusted you in these years?
But what about you, you said you had Lian Er under control, but in the end you let him scheme to seize the master's estate, and became the head of the Rong Mansion instead of the master? Didn't the master and I have a pair of white-eyed wolves?
?It’s a shame that I was so blind back then…”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The more Mrs. Wang spoke, the more she burst into tears and beat her chest:
"That's all, I won't bring up old scores with you, I just ask you, it's okay that you don't take me seriously, now you don't pay attention to the little things your second uncle and second aunt told you? In front of your second uncle's eyes
Are you going to take it too seriously? How could the Wang family be so rebellious like you!"
The closer you are to someone, the harsher and more heart-wrenching your words are.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng was pricked to tears by her own aunt:
"How can I stand up to my wife's harsh words? Now I am just making a chime and hammer out of yellow cypress wood - I look respectable on the outside but miserable on the inside..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang beat her chest and cried:
"Are you suffering? Can't you bear it? You are now the housekeeper of the inner house of Rongguo Mansion, and you have given birth to the eldest grandson of the eldest family. Apart from the old lady, who in the whole family has as much dignity as you?
It's my second wife who has lost her eldest son who should come and beg you... Poor my Pearl, if he were alive, even if he only got a chance to be elected, I would be depended on for life. Why am I only here now?
Can he count on a precious jade? But the old lady loves him and refuses to let go, pampering and protecting him, and the master still complains that I don’t know how to teach my son..."
The more she cried, the sadder she became. Later, she simply grabbed Wang Xifeng’s arm with one hand and beat and patted her with the other hand:
"It's a pity that I was blind and blind, and I valued you in vain. I said you were the most promising daughter of the Wang family, and I chose you from thousands of choices to come to the Jia family to be my helper. But you turned out to be really promising.
Think of yourself as the obedient daughter-in-law of the Jia family!
You should have been allowed to marry Jia Zhen in the first place. You are from the Wang family after all, so what is the origin of the daughter of the You family who cannot marry? Why are you not as good at handling your man as she is now? "
"aunt--"
Wang Xifeng was swaying, with tears in her eyes. Suddenly her body softened and she knelt in front of Mrs. Wang:
"Since we ladies are behind closed doors, let's just talk about my aunt and nephew. I'm not afraid of my aunt's jokes, so I just tell the truth.
Now it is my turn to control Jia Lian? If he doesn't control me to death, it will be my fate..."
