Chapter 267(1/2)
It's still this afternoon.
Just as Xing rushed to the East Mansion, Aunt Xue also found the warm pavilion where Mrs. Wang usually took a nap.
Her sisters and sisters were always unruly, and Aunt Xue was casual and casual. When she entered the door, she peeled her body and leaned on the couch. After being steamed by the ubiquitous heating, she simply stripped her shoes and socks, ordered the maid to make a basin of hot water, poured some flowers into it, soaking her two slightly plump white and tender barefoots in. The chondroitin that was soaked in the chondroitin became thick even when she breathed heavily.
Seeing that she was so distorted, Mrs. Wang shook her head on the side: "Baochai is a good person, otherwise she would have been ruined by you!"
As he said that, he urgently ordered Jin Chuan to get a blanket for Aunt Xue to cover her body.
Aunt Xue smiled distractedly and specially asked to choose a thin breathable one. She put it between her chest and abdomen and changed her comfort position. Then she said straight to the point: "I went back to mention that to Baochai, and she said..."
"No hurry."
But Mrs. Wang didn't want to be heard by someone, so she quickly stopped her words and said, "It's not too late to say it after soaking her feet."
When Jin Chuan heard Xian's intention, she immediately took the initiative to step forward to help Aunt Xue scrub it carefully, and then carefully wrapped it with a towel.
Holding the crescent moon in her hand, she couldn't help but secretly praise her. It was said that Miss Bao was comparable to Concubine Yang, but after all, she was still young and had less charm. Instead, Aunt Xue's spoiled body was comparable to Concubine Yang's spoiled appearance.
After wiping, Jin Chuan called her to leave together without waiting for Mrs. Wang's orders, leaving Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.
When she got outside, she dispersed others and kept guarding the door.
He seemed to be loyal to the Lord, but in fact he was full of thoughts on how to turn to Baoyu, so as to resist the vacancy left by Qingwen.
She has also hinted about this several times recently, but the enemy did not dare to open her mouth in front of her wife, which made her angry.
Seeing Qingwen's lack of money for half a year, she should have a fixed number before the New Year. Jin Chuan was becoming more and more anxious. She thought that it would be better to just put in enough capital, but she was afraid that Baoyu would eat it and refused to admit it.
Just in a dilemma, Zhou Rui's family came to find him.
"I heard that Grandma Zhen, the East Mansion, is happy!"
Seeing Jin Chuan guarding outside the door, she knew that there were most of the words that were tragic inside, so she did not dare to trespass and said to Jin Chuan: "The eldest lady has already visited her. Miss Lao went in and reported it, and see what the wife's constitution is."
If there is no premise that "the eldest wife has visited us", this matter can be pushed back.
But since the eldest wife has been there, Mrs. Wang cannot be without a reaction.
Jin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and knocked on the door.
After a while, he replied in the room, "Come in", and then Jin Chuan pushed the door and reported the matter to Mrs. Wang.
It was a coincidence that Mrs. Wang heard that the Xue family was a little unsteady, so Baochai wanted to discuss a way to achieve the best of both worlds in person, so she started to wonder, worried that this previously intelligent niece would expose her little thoughts in person.
Just as hesitating about how to reply, he happened to get Jin Chuan's report.
Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to skip this for the time being, and stood up and said, "Since my sister-in-law has gone to visit, we can't stay behind - call Feng Yatou and Zhu's daughter-in-law to visit together."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue hurriedly got up from the Arhat's bed and said she wanted to go and take a look.
"You should stop calm!"
Mrs. Wang quickly pressed her down with her eyes and advised her unhappy: "You are afraid of cold and hot body, it's okay for me to say that no one picks you. If you are in front of the children, is it so unconventional? It's better to just suffer less and let Baoyao leave tomorrow."
Aunt Xue thought of wearing an outer skirt torture in the "steamer", and when she felt timid, she became as good as she was.
After appeaseing her, Mrs. Wang changed her hall and waited for Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng came to meet.
But when the news reached Wang Xifeng's house, Wang Xifeng was pulling Ping'er to discuss whether to intercept Jiao Shun and talk to him in person halfway, or to send someone to contact him secretly.
After all, this time I want to inquire about Mrs. Wang’s mental movements, so I can’t come to the door with great fanfare - it’s okay for others, at least I have to avoid Yu Chuan’s eyes and ears.
"Follow me."
After drawing several methods, Ping'er couldn't help but complain: "Grandma shouldn't have followed this job. It's very convenient for them to walk outside to contact each other. Is it necessary for us to think about things at home?"
"What are you talking about!"
Wang Xifeng glared at the phoenix: "He is a slave from my house. No matter how successful he is, he should be the person in my palm. If he pushes him on the second master's head, wouldn't it seem that I can't control him anymore?"
After a pause, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "If you want to say that this monkey is really ungrateful, this time the wife asked him to estimate the price of the shop, but he didn't even miss us any news. This shows that he has long stopped taking me seriously because of his power!"
Ping'er hurriedly expelled Jiao Shun: "This is probably what the wife means. If the wife had not repeatedly told her, Brother Shun would not have hidden her from us."
Wang Xifeng thought this was the case and became more anxious.
The biggest reliance she can cover up the sky in Rongguo Mansion is Mrs. Wang's aunt. If Mrs. Wang is dissatisfied, Li Wan will be able to be rightfully promoted.
It would be fine if we just decentralize power. If we send the couple back to Dongkuanyuan and be under the jurisdiction of Jia Shexing...
Wang Xifeng shivered and for the first time she felt fear of her future.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly sent someone to invite her.
Wang Xifeng did not dare to neglect her. While asking Ping'er to serve the ward, she hurriedly asked her wife what she had to give her.
After hearing that it was Yu Shi who was so happy that she specially summoned everyone to visit her, she breathed a little relieved.
After sending the woman away, Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said to Ping'er: "I don't care much now. You can tell Jiao Shun if you want to know you. I'll make an appointment to meet in the garden tomorrow!"
…………
Although he was full of anxiety, Wang Xifeng still smiled and looked full of spring breeze when she saw Mrs. Wang. She started to show her loyalty in and out of the door: "Our wife doesn't tell you about such a big thing, but it's because the wife cares about me, otherwise Sister-in-law Zhen would say that I am not right."
"She dares to talk about you?"
Li Wan, who had taken the lead, immediately joked: "If you don't criticize her, she will burn incense and worship Buddha."
Wang Xifeng was originally afraid of Li Wan, but now she became more hostile because of Mrs. Wang's change. Seeing that she came earlier than herself, she felt a little confused and thought, thinking that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had planned something in private?
However, she still smiled: "When talking about burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I heard that Sister Zhen recently invited a child to Guanyin at home, but I don't know where to ask for it? It's so effective. I'll invite one tomorrow."
The truth means that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has no intention.
Thinking of the true face of Guanyin giving birth to his son, Li Wan's face seemed strange, for fear that someone would see something wrong, so she hurriedly lowered her head and avoided Wang Xifeng's gaze.
However, because Wang Xifeng was suspicious, she observed the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a good manner, and happened to have Li Wan's abnormality in her eyes. She became more and more misunderstood. She was nervous and even less words were spoken.
At this time, the cars and sedans outside were all ready. Mrs. Wang was about to lead her daughter-in-law and niece to Ningguo Mansion, but she suddenly came out with a sage edict, saying that she was asking Jia Baoyu to come to the palace to meet the sage.
This is the fifth time since August, and Mrs. Wang has become accustomed to it and is no longer as worried as before.
But no matter how often I get used to it, I have to repeat what I should prepare and explain.
So Mrs. Wang appointed Li Wan and Wang Xifeng to visit him, while she hurried to Baoyu Courtyard.
Without her elders accompanying her, it is more convenient for Wang Xifeng and Li Wan to enter and exit Ningguo Mansion.
Nothing to say along the way.
When he saw You Shi's greetings, Wang Xifeng joked half-truely: "You have been in a wealth of friendship recently, and you only neglect me. If you put it in the past, this matter would be the first one I heard of!"
Li Wan immediately pointed at Wang Xifeng and smiled, "Look at what she said, she looks like an abandoned woman who is not loved by anyone, but the two mansions of the East and West donations don't know that this family is the only one who takes care of her husband. I heard that Brother Lian didn't dare to go out for two months after the order was given before!"
"That's right!"
You Shi was not willing to let the scenes down: "She said I neglect her, but I would blame you for neglecting me - I haven't seen you come to the door for more than a month. What I know is that I have a body, I don't know, and I thought it was you who hatched eggs at home."
The three sisters-in-law were laughing and making fun of each other, as if they were kind, but Wang Xifeng vaguely realized that the relationship between Li Wan and You Shi was much closer than she thought, and she even felt a little repulsive.
This made Wang Xifeng very alert. Youshi was definitely not a fool. Now that she was not attracted by her grandmother who had always been in contact with her, she went to burn Li Wan's cold stove. Could it be that she had heard some news and saw some omen?
Thinking of this, she became more and more anxious about tomorrow's meeting.
In addition to trying to find out Mrs. Wang’s thoughts from Jiao Shun, he also wanted him to help point out the crux of the problem and how to make up for it. First, the bystanders are clear, and second, Jiao Shun has had many wonderful ideas recently, and even helped Baoyu figure out the holy intention. What’s the difficulty of this matter with him?
The three of them had their own thoughts to waste half of the day. Seeing that the sun was slanting outside, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan refused You Shi's attempt to stay and prepared to say goodbye and return to Rongguo Mansion.
Youshi held their flat belly and kept sending them outside the yard. Then she said to Li Wanyu with a pun: "Now that I am pregnant, I must be recuperating behind closed doors for a while. It will be your wish, so I will not be able to get you into trouble."
However, Li Wan was worried about being knocked out by Xing, so she took the initiative to alienate Jiao Shun recently. She calculated that she had not been to the courtyard for more than a month.
It's strange to say it.
Originally, he took the initiative to alienate Jiao Shun and didn't realize it. Now, when he heard You Shi say he wanted to thank the guests at a close distance, Li Wan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep when she went back, her mind was filled with the day and night in the courtyard.
The next day, I didn’t think about tea or food. I felt inexplicably hot during the day, and I was lonely and cold at night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I was full of Jiao Shun’s strong figure, and it seemed that there was some withdrawal reaction.
This is a later story, and I won't mention it for now.
But in the evening, Jiao Shun came back from the yamen. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiangling pestering Xing Xiuyan and muttering her. He couldn't help but laugh: "Why, she has asked you to set up a poetry club again?"
Xing Xiuyan hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his cloak and robe, and complained half-truely: "I didn't take it seriously when I mentioned it casually. I didn't expect this fool to take it seriously. I didn't think that this foolish girl would take it seriously. She didn't even look at her horoscope, so she had to go to the poetry club to serve tea and water."
Jiao Shun laughed, and while taking off his sleeves, he took out a few body deeds from it and stuffed them to Xing Xiuyan and said, "Isn't it good to set up a poetry club to relieve your boredom - I didn't ask you to take the lead. If you say to Miss Lin, she will agree to it. Then we sponsor the poetry club for a sum of money, who can choose us?"
Xiangling next to her also nodded in anticipation.
Xing Xiuyan didn't match her, and looked down at the body one by one. Seeing that it was two maids and a middle-aged couple, she couldn't help but wonder: "We want to add people to our family? But we can't live in this yard anymore, right?"
Since Xing Xiuyan passed by, the north room of the east wing became the exclusive dormitory for two people, but the south room was specially empty as a study room - Xiangling and Yuchuan, who originally lived in it, moved to the north room of the west wing with Siqi, and only took turns to the east wing to the night room every day.
Including Qingwen, Wuer, who lives in the south of the west wing, and the servant and cook who live in the downfall, the yard is not only crowded, but also full.
Even the old house where I came to my house lived, Grandma Hu's grandparents and grandchildren, and the coachman of the Jiao family.
How could we move away from four people at once?
"It's not our family, it's your family that wants to add people."
Jiao Shun signaled Yuchuan to take her casual clothes and put them on. While tying her arms, she asked her to tie her buttons. When Xing Xiuyan was about to explain, "When your parents moved to their new house in the afternoon, there will always be a few people around you-this is something I asked someone to look forward to. Now let them go and arrange it in advance."
It was fine before I passed by, but now I have arrived at the Jiao family. Jiao Shun can still think about his parents, so why don’t Xing Xiuyan be moved?
To be continued...
