When Lin Zhixiao returned home, he reported the matter to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Before Jia Zheng said anything, Mrs. Wang shook her head.Yuchuan and Caixia rushed to support Mrs. Wang, Lin Zhixiao took the opportunity to leave, and went back to look at the records of the household department. It was checked out according to the list and storage records, what the Lin family lacked.
Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, waved the maid back, and said to Jia Zheng: "Master, the Lin family's things have been misappropriated too much. I'm afraid the household department will not be able to check it like this. I have to talk to the old lady."
"Let's wait. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to survive last year."
"If you don't talk about it, you won't be able to survive last year. Master, your niece is waiting for a dowry."
"How about you talk to your niece? Later, we will make up her dowry?"
"Let Zhu's daughter-in-law go, master. My concubine is also in her fifties, how can she speak?"
Jia Zheng nodded, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to call Li Wan.
When Li Wan came over, Mrs. Wang told Li Wan about the matter, Li Wan's face showed embarrassment, and Mrs. Wang immediately lowered her face, "Why? You don't want to go?"
Li Wan lowered his head and replied: "Madam, you know my daughter-in-law is clumsy and tongue-in-cheek, I'm afraid that if she goes to speak up, she will miss her important business."
Mrs. Wang thought about it too, "You ask Baochai to go with you."
"Ma'am, after that day in the garden, Miss Bao said that Aunt Xue was not feeling well, so she moved back to take care of her."
Mrs. Wang twirled the rosary in her hand, wishing she could crush the rosary.This Baochai?snort. "Caixia, you take someone to invite Miss Bao. Yuchuan, you go and invite Miss San."
Caixia went in response.Li Wan just stood in front of Mrs. Wang with his head bowed, like a clay sculpture or wood carving, without saying a word or moving.
Mrs. Wang got angry when she looked at Li Wan, but she didn't pay attention to it. She just twirled the rosary on her own, closed her eyes and bowed her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Tanchun came quickly, seeing Mrs. Wang pinching the rosary, closing her eyes and meditating, she took a beauty hammer and stepped forward to beat Mrs. Wang's leg.After waiting for almost an hour, Baochai and Caixia came over.
"I kept my aunt waiting for a long time before serving my mother to drink the medicine, alas." Baochai sighed faintly.
Mrs. Wang took Baochai's hand and was in a dilemma for a moment, then said: "My son, Auntie has a difficult matter here, please help your sister-in-law to do it." Without waiting for Baochai to say whether she agrees or not, Mrs. Wang turned to Li Wan and said, "Go and talk to Baochai."
Li Wan looked at Mrs. Wang and understood what she meant, so he pulled Baochai and said, "my sister and I will let my wife rest for a while." He took Baochai and Tanchun out.
Li Wan was extremely embarrassed and told Baochai about it.
Baochai looked at Li Wan and smiled: "Sister-in-law Zhu, let me talk to Sister Lin? Am I from the Jia family or the Lin family?"
Li Wan was tongue-tied, yes, how could Baochai let Baochai talk about it?She is an outsider.
Mrs. Wang lifted the curtain and came out of the room, "Baochai, don't you want to go?"
Baochai stood up and saluted, "Auntie, no matter how you talk about this matter, it's not Baochai's turn to talk to Sister Lin."
Mrs. Wang couldn't do it, so she just said, "In that case, Baochai, go back and take care of your family." Baochai saluted and went out.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang's hands were shaking with anger, Tanchun said quietly, "Madam, my daughter and sister-in-law go."
Mrs. Wang pulled Tanchun and sighed, "Fortunately, there are three girls. My son, why didn't you be born in my womb."
When Baochai came out, Ying'er followed, handed the stove to her girl, and helped Baochai fasten her cloak.
"Girl, where are we going?"
"go home."
Baochai takes Ying'er back to Aunt Xue.Before entering the courtyard, she heard her sister-in-law Xia Jingui's yelling.Baochai bowed her head, pursed her lips, and went back to her room.
It was only three or two months since Xia Jingui married into Xue's family, and after a lot of tricks, she had already captured Xue Pan, who liked the new and disliked the old, who was drunk and had no food.It also happened at the end of the year, and the second sister You felt shy when she saw that he hadn't gone for many days, so she sent someone to look for Xue Pan, but she didn't come back all night.
When Cai Caixia came to look for Baochai, Xia Jingui pretended to be sick in the house, and ordered Xiangling, who changed her name to Qiuling, to keep busy.When I saw Xue Pan come back this time, I made a fuss and asked Xue Pan where he stayed last night.Xue Pan had already learned how powerful Xia Jingui was, so why would he say that he rested at Second Sister You's place, but that he drank too much and spent the night casually.
Seeing that she couldn't take Xue Pan down because of the noise, Xia Jingui ordered her personal maid, Baochan, to serve Xue Pan.That Xue Pan is by nature the master of "Longwangshu". When he saw his wife ordered Baochan to come over, he touched Baochan's hand.Then Xue Pan has no other abilities, he has been in Huajie Liuxiang for more than ten years, and immediately figured out what Xia Jingui meant, so he flattered Xia Jingui, and finally got Xia Jingui to speak up, and rewarded Baochan as a housekeeper.
How did Xue Pan think that this was just the first step for Xia Jingui to get rid of Qiu Ling, the beautiful, docile, and slightly talented Xiang Ling.
Li Wan took Tanchun with her to the Marquis of Rongguo to see Wang Xifeng.This kind of meeting without posting is usually only between close relatives and very close friends.The relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the Hou Mansion, like their sister-in-law, is presumptuous.
When Sister Feng heard that Li Wan and Tanchun were coming, she asked the little girl to come in.
Then Li Wan came in and said, "Well, you are Lian's second grandma, you don't know how to go to see me, and walk a few more steps to meet me."
Sister Feng spat in her heart, it was someone's habitual fault, why did she like to blame others first, and acted like she was sorry for her no matter what.Sister Feng hated people who talked like this, so she raised her airs, "Sister-in-law Zhu, I have been moving here for several years, and I have never seen you come to see me after giving birth. The whole capital knows that the old man is sick, and I have never seen you come. Welcome?"
Li Wan was embarrassed, "Look at how clever you are."
"But what did I say wrong?"
"Feng girl, what did you say wrong? You don't know that I am a puppet, so I have to move around at will. In the past, you were in the mansion, and there was someone who talked, alas."
When Sister Feng saw Li Wan talking like this, she greeted each other, invited them to sit down, and ordered tea to be served.Ping'er took the little maid and instructed them to serve tea.
Li Wan looked at Ping'er and praised: "Girl Feng, Ping'er has become more and more attractive after being taught by you."
Ping'er smiled shyly. She hadn't recovered from the great surprise that Sister Feng gave her. These days, she always had a smile on her lips, and she looked overjoyed.
Ping'er saluted Li Wan and Tanchun, and then stood behind Sister Feng.
Li Wan didn't talk about the subject, and Sister Feng sat quietly with her.Tanchun couldn't hold back and asked Sister Feng: "Second sister-in-law Lian, is Sister Lin here?"
"I have been taken to the palace by Concubine Shu for several days, and I went with Concubine Shu."
"Then, second sister-in-law, when will Sister Lin come back?"
"It depends on Concubine Shu's mind, she stayed in the palace for more than a month last time."
The two couldn't help thinking that this was for nothing.Talk to Sister Feng about the property of the Lin family. No matter how good Sister Feng can be in charge of the family, she won't count the affairs of the Lin family.
The three chatted for a while, Li Wan asked about the child, then Jia Lian, and finally Jia Amnesty.
Sister Feng said: "Sister-in-law Zhu, the master is getting weaker every day. You go back and tell the old lady that you are afraid that the master will go in front of the old lady."
Li Wan's face changed, it must be because Jia Amnesty was really bad, that's why Sister Feng dared to say that.So Li Wan continued: "The old lady has not been good for the past few years. That year Baoyu and her uncles and nephews came to pay New Year's greetings. After returning home, Baoyu fell into a deep sleep. The maids in the house were so incompetent that the old lady was shocked. Since then, the old lady has been getting worse day by day."
The two sisters-in-law sighed and said something about Jia Lan, Jia Cong and so on. Li Wan took Tanchun to leave.
When the aunt and sister-in-law returned to the mansion, they told Mrs. Wang about Concubine Shu taking Daiyu into the palace.Mrs. Wang was helpless, so she comforted their aunt and sister-in-law, sent them back to rest, and asked someone to invite Jia Zheng.
"Master, Concubine Shu took Miss Lin into the palace, and I'm afraid she is avoiding it. It seems that Mr. Cheng raised the matter of checking the properties of the Lin family. Mrs. Lin promised Mrs. Cheng's son. It may be returned to someone else's family." I can talk about it, now I can only talk to the old lady."
Jia Zheng couldn't help it either, the husband and wife sat opposite each other and worried.In the end, I still had to go to Jiamu.
After hearing Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's words, Mother Jia said, "Let's do it, otherwise, what should I do? From the second family, you should sort out the ones that should belong to the Lin family, and give money to those who are not enough."
Mrs. Wang looked at Jia's mother trembling, "Mother, the Lin family's..."
"Mr. Wang, most of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings of the Lin family are here. Don't wait until today to copy them."
"Mother, it was helpless to pick up the garden that night."
"Mr. Wang, have you copied anything?"
Mrs. Wang lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Mr. Wang, if you don't like Qingwen, send it back and give it back to my old lady. Caiyun was given to me by you. I can't take care of Baoyu's yard, so I begged Qingwen to take care of it. It's your son, you take care of it yourself." Bar."
"Mother, that Qingwen has been ill for a long time, and I'm afraid she has tuberculosis. Move it out to raise her first, and bring her back when she recovers."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was arguing with Jia's mother for a maid and forgot about business, Jia Zheng coughed, and the two regained their senses.
Jia Mu didn't say anything, and Mrs. Wang didn't say anything. Jia Zheng was helpless, and the people in the household department were still waiting for Jia's house to sort out all the Lin family's property.
The three of them were silent for a long time, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it, she got up and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law go back and tidy up."
Jia's mother nodded, and when Mrs. Wang left, Jia's mother sighed to Jia Zheng, "Second brother, you daughter-in-law, do you want to become your own? Alas, all my ideas are Baoyu's. What are you thinking about!"
"Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety that made my mother bother." Seeing what Jia's mother said, Jia Zheng quickly knelt down.
