The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 15
Wang Xifeng asked Laiwang a few more words, and suddenly laughed: "You listened to your second master, and you came back to help him when he asked you to do something. Why did you ignore what I told you?"

Although Wang Xifeng had a nice smile, Laiwang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He knelt down on the cold ground with a thud, and said bitterly: "How dare you take the words of the second grandma as a deaf ear? The slave also said to let the second master do something else." Select someone to come back to do things, but the second master said, "You must follow me, but you have the order of your second grandma to monitor me from the beginning?" The servant heard this and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. How dare he disobey the second master again , I have to, I can only come back and report to Second Mistress."

Laiwang said it sincerely, but Wang Xifeng didn't suspect that he was lying, and immediately became concerned.

A little irritable, and seeing Laiwang begging for mercy, he was very upset, so he sent him out with a wave of his hand.

"Ping'er, look at your second master, we said before that he has changed his temper, what do you say now?
If he didn't hide the traitor in his heart, why didn't he dare to let others know, and resorted to these methods to bring Wang'er back? "

Wang Xifeng was very angry and complained to Ping'er.

Ping'er felt that Jia Lian might not be like this, but he couldn't refute Wang Xifeng's words, so he didn't say anything.

"Hmph, he took my money to be a good person, and asked me to help him get it later. He took all the benefits, but made us suffer? Wait, let's see his rotten dates come back, I won't let him loose." Go out and send it to the beggars in the city..."

Wang Xifeng became more angry.

"No..."

Ping'er couldn't bear it now, she suddenly thought of something, and said to Wang Xifeng in a low voice: "Grandma can't do this, maybe I thought of the second master's intention.

Grandma didn't mean that the second master explained it sincerely, but said that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding... Although grandma and I believed it, since those words have already spread, there must be some troublemakers who love to make trouble as a real thing to say.

But we can't arrest everyone and deal with them.

I thought, although the second master spent some money this time, he also won over the entire family.

On such a hot day, eating watermelon that has been suppressed, can't they still stop their mouths?

Even if there is something that can't be stopped, as long as 1 people say good things about the second master, there will naturally be no place for those stupid and bastard words to spread.

So I said, not only can grandma not be angry with the second master, but she also needs to help the second master to plan, and take it seriously as a serious matter. "

Wang Xifeng was just suspicious that Jia Lian lied to her, so she said this. She was the smartest, and when she heard Ping'er's words, she knew Jia Lian's real intention.

It's rare that he really cares about his own reputation!
Although Wang Xifeng had already realized that he might be deceived by Jia Lian at this time, it was not necessary to discredit Jia Lian's reputation.

So he said to Ping'er: "You hoof, why do you speak for him like this? Since you are doing this, let him come back tomorrow, and I will give you to him as his good wife?"

Wang Xifeng just laughed, but turned Ping'er's face red with embarrassment, and only scolded: "Bah, you are still a grandma, and you can't be respected if you say such things!"

"I'm afraid you can't wait..."

Ping'er made a gesture to leave Wang Xifeng, which made Wang Xifeng laugh, and grabbed her: "Okay, stop joking. Now that this is the case, I will leave this matter to you to organize for your second master, and wait for Wang'er and the others to take care of her." When you bring the things back, you pick the best ones first and send them to the old lady, and you can measure the rest by yourself and distribute them everywhere.”

Ping'er nodded in response.

A few days later, when Laiwang was ordered to bring back the first batch of watermelons, Wang Xifeng and Heping'er began to distribute them, making Rongguo Mansion lively.

Jia Mu also took advantage of Mrs. Wang waiting to greet her and asked, "Why are you hearing the commotion outside today, but what happened?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's nothing serious to go back to the old lady, but Lian'er bought a lot of cold melons from outside and gave them to the people in the clan to relieve the summer heat. Even the slaves have a share. They are happy, so they will be more lively."

"Lian'er, didn't he go to the south?"

"I said I ran across it on the road and thought it tasted good, so I bought it to honor the old lady and the elders of the clan."

After hearing this, Jia's mother was about to say something when she heard a commotion at the door. It turned out that Wang Xifeng was coming, and she happened to bump into You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came to pay her respects from the East Mansion, and they entered the door together talking and laughing.

Seeing Wang Xifeng, Jia's mother said, "What about you just now? Your family's Lian Er has got some good things, why don't you send some to me, and focus on the people outside first?"

Wang Xifeng knew what Jiamu was talking about as soon as she heard it, and said with a smile: "Look at what the old lady said, there are some good things, who dares not to honor the old lady first, I'm afraid I won't be afraid of thunder!

When the food arrived in the morning, I asked people to pick out the best ones first and put them in the deep well. Just now I told Ping'er that the old lady should not eat too cold ones, so I asked her to fish them out and cut them up. If it is sent here, it just happens to relieve the heat for the old ladies and ladies!

Now if the old lady wants it, there are many piles in the yard outside. The old lady can just send someone to take it, and don't care about rewarding the maids and women.But I don't suggest that the old lady is so troublesome, Lian Er doesn't know why he is crazy, what kind of rarity is he holding this thing, he wants to spread the benefits!Therefore, not only these people in the old lady's house, but also the other servants in the mansion, one counts as one, everyone has a share! "

Jia Mu was surprised: "After all this, how much did he buy?"

"No more, no less, a full [-] catties."

"So many..."

Many people who didn't know it suddenly exclaimed.

While talking, sure enough, Ping'er led all the maids, lined up, and brought in more than a dozen trays, inside which were neat and beautiful slices of watermelon, the kind without the skin.

When Wang Xifeng saw it, she laughed and scolded: "The old lady is not a big eater, why are you cutting so much?"

"The servant girl thought that his wife, grandma and girls were all there, so he cut more."

"Well, after all, you are good, more thoughtful than me."

Although Jia's mother didn't like watermelon very much, she still had a smile on her face because of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's love.

Recruiting someone to bring a plate, he picked a piece with the bamboo stick on the side and took a bite.

"Sure enough, the taste is better than what I used to eat."

Mother Jia gave a pertinent evaluation, and then smiled at Jia Baoyu and the others: "Since it is the wish of your brother and sister-in-law, you should try it too. Just don't eat too much. This food is cold in nature. If you eat too much, your body may suffer." No."

It's just that Jia Baoyu's attention didn't seem to be on those bright red and beautiful watermelons. After being called out two or three times, he turned his head and said "ah", and then stepped forward to pick out the best one, ready to go back and taste it with his sisters.

I don't know where to think, but regardless of the eager eyes of Sanchun and others, he suddenly turned around and walked to You Shi, and said to his new daughter-in-law Qin Shi: "I think this is the best, here, you should try it first... "

You Shi was a little flattered, and hurriedly asked Qin Shi to take it, and said with a smile: "Baoyu is welcome, we will do it ourselves."

Jia Baoyu's response to You Shi was somewhat perfunctory, he just watched Qin Shi take the plate, and then gave him a sweet smile, he felt his heart was broken, and he didn't know how to react in a daze, until someone called him Fang Mu. Walking back, he casually took a plate of watermelon back, and tasted it with Yingchun and the others.

Everyone in the hall didn't care much about Jia Baoyu's behavior. Although they belonged to the same clan, they were considered guests compared to the people in the East Mansion. Therefore, Jia Baoyu's behavior of treating You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first was not at fault.

As for Jia Baoyu staring at Qin Shi... what's the matter, Baoyu is still young, how can a child have evil intentions?

The women in Jia's mother's room, in cooperation with You Shi, kept praising Jia Baoyu for being sensible...

Between talking, You Shi suddenly smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Speaking of this matter, when your elder brother Zhen told me to come over, he must thank you in person.

It's hard for you two to have a heart.

When I heard about it, I thought it was just a few catties, which meant a gift, but when I went to the front yard and took a look, I was shocked.

The straw-paved mule cart was full of fresh watermelons, a full ten carts, and the boys moved to the house one by one, sweating profusely! "

"If you think it's too much, send it back to me." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"In front of old ladies and wives, you don't have to be ashamed. There is no reason to ask for something you give away."

Everyone was talking and laughing while eating melons, which made the maids and servants next to them greedy.

Originally, there were not many poor servants who could stand in this room, so no matter how expensive watermelons are on the market, they can buy them and taste them when they are free.

It's just that the master's grandma and the girls all said that it tastes better than usual after eating it, but what kind of good method is it? I haven't tasted it myself, but how do I know it, and how can I not scratch my heart?
However, as a slave taught by a big family, no matter how greedy he is, he will not show it.

I just thought, anyway, the second grandma said that everyone has a share, and when I get it later, I must eat a few bites to see how different it is!

Jiamu took a few mouthfuls and stopped eating, and asked the maids to share the food, then wiped her mouth and said, "Lian Er seems to have saved a lot of trouble recently.

Since that day he took the initiative to go to the south to pick up his sister, I was surprised, but what is rare is that he kept his promise, and he really made the preparations in one night, and set off the next day.

I'm getting older, I don't sleep much, and I always get up early, but I remember that when he came to say goodbye to me that morning, I was still asleep.

Mandarin duck girl, what time did he come that day? "

Yuanyang thought for a while, "Probably just got it right."

Jia Mu nodded, "I just thought, he really took this as a serious matter, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip to get up so early, presumably for the convenience of traveling."

Everyone knows that, except for Uncle Zhu earlier, among the men in the mansion, the old lady only likes Baoyu.

It's rare to hear her old man praise other men except Baoyu, especially this person is Jia Lian, so he didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

But Wang Xifeng couldn't help it: "Hey, what's the matter, I must know that the old lady is reluctant to part with Qingwen girl, and she is afraid that she will be caught, and she will not give it to others, so he deliberately behaved so actively. Who knows what happened to him if he got out of the sight of the old lady?"

If someone else said this, it would be suspected of fanning the wind from behind, but if it was Wang Xifeng who said it, there would be no such meaning.

And hearing what she said was interesting, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all looked at the neatest little girl standing beside her.

Not to mention, it's really possible, after all, which man doesn't love such a beautiful girl?

Sitting among the sisters, Jia Baoyu, who was thinking about something, was startled by the laughter of the crowd, and subconsciously looked at Qingwen.

What a girl who looks like a lotus, with her shy and silent appearance facing the eyes of everyone, Jia Baoyu was stunned!

Here, Mother Jia scolded Wang Xifeng and said, "Others know how to speak well of their own men in front of their elders, but you don't know this. No wonder he is angry with you! Come back and complain to me about his badness. Look at me." I will ignore you!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, people say that you can become a Buddha immediately after putting down the butcher's knife. I didn't believe it before, but now I do.

When I serve the old lady on weekdays, I am always careful and careful. I am afraid that I am a little careless. Forgive me, I will not get a good word from the old lady.

Now Lian Er is only filial in front of the old lady once, and the old lady praises him to the sky, and even I am inferior in front of him.

It can be seen that it is difficult to be a good person!Tomorrow, I am also unfilial every day, and I don’t come to the old lady when she has something to do. I only show it once or twice on purpose when the old lady is in a good mood, and the old lady loves me more than others! "

Wang Xifeng laughed, pretending to be clever, which made everyone laugh even more.

Jia's mother scolded: "Good monkey, now I'm so excited that I dare to arrange it."

Although everyone knew that Wang Xifeng was intentionally joking, but after thinking about the scene just now, he felt that there was some truth to it.

Jia's mother also realized that it seemed that Jia Lian's previous mistakes could not be erased just because Jia Lian performed well once, so she didn't mention it again.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was secretly proud.

Although he was willing to help Jia Lian to curry favor with the whole family, he didn't want Jia Lian's limelight in front of Jia's mother to overwhelm her, and she would be even more unable to restrain Jia Lian in the future.

The last time she lost in front of Jia Lian, she still remembers it in her heart, always thinking about winning the game in the future.
