The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 52 Compromise
The last point Jia Lian said is also what he cares most about.

Wang Xifeng has many shortcomings, but most of them are her distinctive personality, which is harmless. In fact, Jia Lian has no intention of destroying such Wang Xifeng and turning her into a pure and good woman.

It's just that among all her shortcomings, or the problems that may be caused by her character in the future, there is one thing that he cannot accept.

He is ruthless, treats the law as trivial, and regards human life as worthless!
From lending usury to arbitrarily taking on lawsuits, murdering and exterminating her, and mutilating Second Sister You, resulting in one dead body and two lives...

These piles are all sins that Wang Xifeng in the original book cannot erase!
But she did all these things because of a little profit, or for a few thousand silver, or just for a moment of pleasure, and as for leaving a big handle for others, it can be said to be a bit stupid.

Other things are easy to say, if Wang Xifeng still wants to commit this one, and even he can't suppress it in the future, he still has to consider whether to give her a divorce letter or divorce her.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and he doesn't want to.

However, it is obvious that Wang Xifeng at this time cannot accept such a case.

She was fine at first, but suddenly her complexion became very ugly. With a gloomy face, she glared at Jia Lian: "What do you mean by that? When did I hurt someone? You should explain this clearly to me!!"

Wang Xifeng was very angry, but also a little sad.

She didn't understand very much, although she knew that she had offended more people by making more publicity, but in all fairness, Jia Lian did more bad things in the past!

Why should he use such prejudiced words to bully her!

Could it be that in Jia Lian's heart, she is already a sinner?

From the beginning to the end, she just sent his two girls away... Compared with what he did, what is this?
Jia Lian also knew that Wang Xifeng couldn't figure it out. After all, she was not yet 20 years old, and she was still a law-abiding daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

Her lawless courage probably started to swell after earning interest from lending and earning 3000 taels of silver with just one letter, and finally got out of hand.

The reason why he brought it up now is to remind Wang Xifeng and sound the alarm. If she encounters the same situation in the future, I hope she can remember what he said, and think twice before acting.

"I said, the last two are just for you to listen to, you don't have to agree to me now, just keep it in your heart.

We have three chapters in the agreement, let's just sign the first one for now. "

Wang Xifeng stopped talking and sat quietly on the bed without saying a word.

Jia Lian knew it wasn't when she felt sorry for her, and said, "This is a matter between the two of us, there is no need to seriously write down the terms to make people laugh, let Ping'er be a witness."

After finishing speaking, without Wang Xifeng nodding, he called Ping'er in and told him about the three chapters of the agreement between him and Wang Xifeng. Of course, he only said the first point.

Ping'er was very surprised when he heard that, he glanced at the two of them and saw Wang Xifeng sitting on the bed, although he seemed a little aggrieved, but he didn't object, so he silently wrote it down.Then seeing that the two masters didn't have any other orders, they left again.

"You don't have to watch it anymore, just turn off the lights outside and go back to sleep."

"Yes..." Ping'er responded to Jia Lian's words, and thought to himself: The second master has indeed changed, he is much more considerate and better than before, no wonder even the second grandma has begun to listen to him...

After Ping'er went out, Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng was still sitting silently, fearing that she would catch the cold, so she wanted to pull up the quilt and cover her up.

Wang Xifeng pushed away stubbornly, raised his head, opened some teary eyes, and asked: "You are serious, what have I done? In your heart, why am I a bad person? You want to be so defensive?" Me? Or do you really hate me so far?"

Jia Lian knew that if he tried to argue or explain to her at this time, he might not be able to make any sense until dawn, so he looked at her and said, "Yes, I am very dissatisfied with you. As a wife, you dare to refuse your husband. !"

……

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xifeng rejuvenated, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and carefully stroked her eyebrows.

Hearing a noise behind him, he looked back and saw that Jia Lian had woken up, pulled out a dimple and smiled at Jia Lian, and then he didn't stop what he was doing, just called out loudly: "Ping'er, your second master is awake, and you still don't come in to serve him." .”

When he was talking, Jia Lian had already jumped off the kang and stuck behind her, looking straight at her in the mirror.

"Don't make trouble, girls see..."

Wang Xifeng slapped the hand that had slipped from his shoulder, and let out a coquettish moan in the mirror.

When Ping'er helped Jia Lian put on her clothes, she said: "Ping'er, go and call those two little girls in. I have something to say."

Ping'er nodded, walked outside and waved, Qingwen and Xiangling came in.

They came here early in the morning, but they didn't dare to rush in because of Ping'er's guard.

Wang Xifeng turned around, leaning with one hand, her sitting posture was not very elegant, but it showed her majesty more and more.

"Qingwen, right? You were originally rewarded by the old lady herself to your second master, and you should have been arranged according to your aunt's order. It's just that your second master loves you, saying that you are young and can't bear to keep you in the room now." Li, so I asked you to be a girl first, and when you are old, I will give you a face and accept you as an aunt.

However, even though she is a girl, she is different from other girls.From now on, you and Xiangling don't have to worry about other things, and you don't have to follow me at ordinary times, you just take turns to watch the night in the house. Usually, when a guest comes, just help pour a cup of tea. "

When Qingwen heard this, she hurriedly glanced at Jia Lian who was sitting by the kang, and seeing that Jia Lian had no objection, she nodded in response. .

Wang Xifeng raised her hand casually, "As for your monthly money, according to the rules of our Jia family, there are two cases of one tael of silver in my house, one is Ping'er now, and the remaining one is for Qingwen.

For Xiang Ling, according to the example of the eldest maid, she will hang money once a month..."

At this time, Jia Lian said: "The monthly money of the two of them will not go to the official office, and it will be deducted from my share."

Like Wang Xifeng, he has five taels of silver every month.

Since he didn't let Wang Xifeng control Qingwen and Xiangling, naturally he didn't want Wang Xifeng to do this kind of favor, especially if he let Qingwen occupy the trap of her one or two maids, otherwise she would inevitably feel that she suffered a loss every time she thought about it.

Wang Xifeng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "That's fine, there's no need for other people in the mansion to think that we took too much money from the officials. But, in the future, don't think that your quota is not enough."

Jia Lian chuckled, and lived on the few taels of silver distributed by the mansion, so he could just lie flat and die without doing anything.

At this time, Qingwen also took Xiangling and knelt down to thank the two masters.

Although it was different from what she expected, it was not bad after careful consideration.

She used to be a little girl who got five hundred dollars, but now she gets one or two, which is equivalent to jumping two grades at once.

Moreover, according to Wang Xifeng's words, not only will she not have to do chores, but she will also not have to follow Wang Xifeng's orders, which is more comfortable than being an aunt!
Most importantly, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.If you don't become an aunt, you don't have to compete with Wang Xifeng for the right to live with the second master, so you won't directly offend Wang Xifeng...

Although she wasn't too afraid of competing for favor with Wang Xifeng, but facing such a domineering and ruthless master and grandma like Wang Xifeng, it was better not to offend her.

Let's lay a solid foundation here first, and when I become an aunt in the future, I don't have to be afraid of the second grandma!
The clever Qingwen quickly formulated a strategy.

Wang Xifeng smiled at Ping'er again: "From now on, with the two of them helping you watch the night outside, you will be more relaxed, and you don't have to be as tired as before. Well, you can take them down to make arrangements... Remember to call someone Bring water to wash your second master."

"Yes……"

After the three of Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Jia Lian smiled, he was indeed more satisfied.

In other words, Wang Xifeng was not as difficult as he imagined, and she was willing to listen to her seriously.

Seeing that she has arranged Qingwen and Xiangling so cooperatively now, I can't help but feel a little regretful in my heart. The words I said to her last night were a little too heavy.Then she shook her head, it was all for long-term peace and stability, she couldn't be soft-hearted and indulge her again.

Yin laughed and said, "How can you be dissatisfied? Why, Second Grandma Lian wants me to reward you?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and made a gesture to hug her up.

"Go, go, the gangster is here, I don't know what time it is, I still have to go to the old lady's house? Are you going?"

"I won't go, the old lady might be bothering me, why bother to poke her old man's heart. Pack it up, I'll go to the old man's courtyard to have a look."

Wang Xifeng asked strangely: "Didn't I hear that you beat up that Taoist priest, the master was annoyed, and ordered you to die so that you would not be allowed to enter the house again?"

"It doesn't matter whether you enter the door or not, it's the same to worship in front of that door."

Wang Xifeng laughed: "I said you don't know where you learned your stubborn temper, how can you be so filial? Don't do something wrong?"

Jia Lian glanced at her, but said nothing.

Wang Xifeng just made a casual joke without thinking deeply. Jia Lian is willing to pay her respects. What can she say?

I just remembered something suddenly, "By the way, mother Zhao came to see you yesterday afternoon, at that time..."

After glancing at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng continued: "Ping'er stopped me at the time, and then returned to me. I got angry with you last night, but I forgot about it."

Nanny Zhao is Jia Lian's nanny, but Jia Lian has been weaned for so many years, and she has already let her go out to enjoy the blessings.

So Jia Lian didn't care too much, and just said: "I must be asking for something. At noon, you set up an extra table of wine in the house, and just invite her old man to have a drink."
