Chapter 176 Lin Hai 39

Linhai 39

On the day after Lin Hai's wedding, Mrs. Wang moved back to the main house where she was supposed to live in the main courtyard.After counting her dowry, Mrs. Wang sent Jin Chuan to call Li Wan over.

Li Wan heard that Jia Zheng took Mrs. Wang back to the main room, and couldn't even eat breakfast, so she came over tremblingly to greet Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang did not make things difficult for her, with a faint smile on her face, she said unhurriedly: "Zhu'er daughter-in-law, you are busy with the housekeeper, bring Lan'er here, and I will show you."

The blood on Li Wan's face disappeared immediately, she knew the difference between herself and Sister Feng.Sister Feng was supported by Jia Lian, and the Rongguo Mansion was finally owned by their husband and wife.But now she only has a son, and she would rather spend time with her son than to be distracted by housekeeping.

"Madam, daughter-in-law..."

"Go, pack up Lan'er's things. He is my own grandson, whoever is wronged, will not wrong him."

Li Wan left Mrs. Wang's room top-heavy, she was really dazed, thinking that Mrs. Wang entered the Buddhist hall under such circumstances, and there was no possibility of her coming out again.

Li Wan returned to the East Road where he lived, and threw himself on the bed, his tears soaking the mattress.

"Big grandma, big grandma," said Suyun, who followed her, who had just been promoted, "The madam sent two wives here..."

Suyun looked at Li Wan whose eyes were red, and was so frightened that she swallowed the rest of her words.

"Have someone serve tea for them first, and tell them I'll clean up." Li Wan mustered up his courage and decided to go to Jia Zheng first; no, he couldn't go back to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Amnesty, and to Ningguo Mansion to find the patriarch Jia Zhen. Take the son to Mrs. Wang.

Li Wan tidied himself up a bit, then took Suyun to the front yard to look for Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng dismissed himself to clean up the guests, and spent all his days in the study, and Baoyu was also caught by Jia Zheng every day to endorse in the study.The servant in the yard saw the housekeeper's grandmother coming, so he hurried in to report to Jia Zheng.

"Master, Madam just said that she wants to take Lan Er away," Li Wan tried to calm his voice, trying not to cry.Baoyu, who was sitting at the side endorsing a book, saw Li Wan's strange description, so he put down his book and looked at Li Wan.

"Master, Lan'er has already started to study the Three Character Classic. As long as the daughter-in-law has time, she will supervise and teach Lan'er to learn. Since the wife has energy, can the daughter-in-law leave the housekeeping to the wife?"

"Your wife is the housekeeper? No." Jia Zheng vetoed it.

"My wife has nothing to do, so I just thought of hugging Lan'er to relieve boredom. Master, it's time for Lan'er to learn something." Li Wan didn't have much knowledge to catch the Wang family woman.

"Well, I see, I will tell your wife, you take good care of the house and teach Lan'er well." Jia Zheng remembered Jia's mother's order to let Wang go to the Buddhist hall, not to let Wang spoil the child, not to Let her do the housework again...

"Yes." Li Wan saluted Jia Zheng and retreated.

Jia Zheng thought about Li Wan's words, saw that Baoyu was distracted, and coughed, so frightened that Baoyu immediately picked up the book and recited it indiscriminately.

Jia Zheng thought and thought, and walked back to the backyard. When he saw Mrs. Wang, he began to regret that he should not forget his mother's words and let her out of the Buddhist hall.After coming out, something will happen, and I will bring my grandson to raise him.Thinking about what she had done, she taught her grandson badly, how could she be worthy of her eldest son who died young.

Seeing Jia Zheng's changing expression, Mrs. Wang guessed what he was thinking.Suppressing his hatred for Li Wan, he softly persuaded Jia Zheng to drink tea.Then he said slowly: "Master, you want to bring Lan'er here as a concubine?"

"No." Jia Zheng sternly refused.

"My lord, I just want to share some burdens for Zhu'er's daughter-in-law. She wants to be a housekeeper and take care of Lan'er. I'm afraid that she will be too busy and neglect Lan'er. He is Zhu'er's only heir. Can you wrong him?!" Mrs. Wang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Jia Zheng was immediately shaken by what Mrs. Wang said.Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng's face, "Master, we have been husband and wife for more than [-] years, and my concubine faces my room..."

"If you are energetic, go see the old lady more. The old lady is still in the Buddhist Hall of Lixiangyuan." After Jia Zheng said this cruelly, he hurried out of the main room. Why did the people he saw last night and today different?Today's wife is clearly the same person from the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng's head was throbbing with pain. He had already sent a boy to the Ministry of Industry to ask for leave. If he hadn't gotten up early to watch Baoyu read, he would have slept a little longer to get rid of his hangover.

After Jia Zheng went out, Mrs. Wang immediately "teared" and tore the handkerchief in two, reversed, reversed, that bitch Li dared to disobey her!I can't deal with her by myself, hum!

This first round ended with Li Wan winning a complete victory.

Aunt Zhao saw Mrs. Wang deflated, curled her lips happily in her own room, and called Xiao Que to make tea in a loud voice, and Mrs. Wang was even more angry when she heard Aunt Zhao's shrill voice.When Aunt Zhao came to say hello the next morning, she was left to beat her legs for the whole morning until Li Wan came to serve her for lunch at noon.

——It’s just a little sulking.

This second round ended with Li Wan serving Mrs. Wang's three meals and was devastated.

To say that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng separated, there is another person who is extremely wronged but dare not speak——Baoyu.

After the separation, Li Wan tidied up the house on the West Road just like Jialan's on the East Road. It is said that Baoyu was not wronged, but the rule that there can only be one big maid and three second-class maids in the house made Baoyu feel worried. Li Wan's sleeves don't stick.

"Sister-in-law, why did you kick out the maids in my room? They were all given to me by the old lady."

Li Wan pulled the sleeves out of Baoyu's hands, "Second Uncle Bao, sit down and talk carefully. You are already ** years old, and it's inappropriate to drag your sister-in-law's sleeves and act coquettishly."

Baoyu's face was flushed by Li Wan's words, and seeing Li Wan's expressionless face, she stepped back and sat down aggrievedly.

"Sister-in-law, they are well in my room, don't drive them away, okay?"

"Baoyu, I'm not trying to drive anyone away. It's a rule in the mansion. You can only have so many people serving in your house. You can keep whoever you want. I'll assign the rest to other places. "

"But—before, there were these people in my house." The maid in the house heard that she was going to be laid off, and she dragged Baoyu to cry, crying until Baoyu's heart broke.

Li Wan was very tired and bored, the housework was complicated, and it was difficult for the servants and maids to order, and she was dragged down by too many trivial matters, so she didn't have much time to teach her son to read. "Before? Second Lord Bao used to be the son of the Duke's mansion, but now he is in the mansion of the fifth-rank member Wailang. Baoyu, if you don't choose who to keep, your sister-in-law will choose for you."

Baoyu stayed there.

Although Li Wan was annoyed, he still patiently reasoned with Baoyu, "Baoyu, the family can earn so much money in a year, and can't afford to support more maids. When the family is separated, the master only gets [-]% of the family property. Calculate the annual income and spend money. In the past, you ordered whatever you wanted to eat, but in the future, if you want to order something other than the regular dishes, you have to give the kitchen money.”

The mandarin ducks and attackers who followed Baoyu hurriedly coaxed Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, make up your mind."

In the end, Yuanyang helped Baoyu make up her mind, leaving behind Xiren, Qingwen, and Sheyue besides her.Qingwen is good at needlework, Xiren is steady and careful, and Sheyue is gentle and obedient.

Seeing that the mandarin duck had helped him, Li Wan designated the mandarin duck from Jia Mu's house as the big maid in Baoyu's house, in charge of the affairs of Baoyu's house.The other three are second-class maids, and they instruct Yuanyang to take care of Baoyu's house.As for Baoyu's nanny, she was directly raised by her.The other women and third-class maids who clean the West Road courtyard are common in the mansion.

Baoyu could not see Jiamu in Lixiangyuan, and Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall again.The only servants who accompanied him were Saohong and Yinquan, and after being warned by Li Wan, they did not dare to take him out of the mansion or to the Buddhist hall to see Mrs. Wang.After being wronged for two days, I also accepted it wanly.

Every holiday Jia Zheng went to Rongguo Mansion to see Jia Mu, and when he left, he told Jia She repeatedly that he wanted Jia She to take good care of his mother.Every time Jia Amnesty saw Jia Zheng's hypocritical filial piety, he would get angry. He didn't even want to see Jia's mother.

That day, when Jia Zheng came out of the Lixiangyuan, Jia Amnesty stopped him and said, "Second brother, how long has it been since you visited your father's grave and offered incense?"

Jia Zheng was stunned when asked, how long?Since Jia Daishan was sent back to the ancestral grave in Jinling for burial, the brothers never went back.

"Brother, what do you mean by asking that?"

"Second brother, every time you come to visit your mother, do you see that I have abused and embezzled my mother?"

"No, no."

"You are filial to your mother, remember to visit her often. You forget who killed your father, huh?"

Jia Zheng was defeated by Jia She's low roar, and hid his face out of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia She let out a harsh "hum" from behind, and Jia Zheng didn't show up for a month.

Jia Amnesty felt more comfortable than ever since the prince was abolished.

Since Jia Lian and his wife left, Mrs. Xing thought that Jia She should let her be the housekeeper this time, so she went to find Jia She happily.Unexpectedly, Jia She said to her, "Mr. Xing, do you want to be a housekeeper? If you can manage this courtyard clearly and without resentment, I will hand over the Rongguo Mansion to you."

Jia Amnesty could see clearly that Mrs. Xing's greedy pettiness was even the monthly allowance of the maids in the house.Jia Shishi and Jia Wangshi have to block their work to save face.This Jia Xing family, as long as they can get the money, will not care about it.I really don't know where the old lady bought him such a good-natured person.When he first came, he looked fine, but within three months, he discovered that this person loves money so shamelessly.After more than ten years, apart from unwillingness, resentment and resentment remained on the face, and the eyes looking at Yinzi with naked eyes.

These are the only masters who live in the mansion. Jia Amnesty assigns all kinds of affairs to the daughter-in-law who is in charge, and handles them according to the routine. If in doubt, ask the housekeepers Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng.If there is something to do, Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng will come to him again.After half a month, everything is fine, and I feel comfortable and at ease. Who said that a housekeeper must be a woman.

It is still the method Lin Hai said is useful, he has not had a wife for more than a year, and he uses this method to manage his life in the house.If there is a butler, use the butler, otherwise, why do you need a butler, and why set up stewards everywhere.Think about Lin Hai marrying a daughter-in-law, it was a matter of several housekeepers and long followers, and nothing went wrong.Jia Amnesty decided to be a housekeeper like this from now on.For this reason, Jia Amnesty specially invited Lin Hai to have a drink and ask him for advice.
