The Red Mansions

Chapter 204 Li Wan scolds Wang Xifeng: You don't want any face!

As soon as Jia Yun arrived in the room, she got a message from Wang Xifeng.

"The marriage between that kid Jia Rong and the girl from the Xia family has been finalized, and we will welcome him on August [-]th." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Yun wondered: "Didn't you say that the two families fell out earlier? Why are they getting married?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zhen forced Brother Rong to ask Miss Xia's forgiveness."

Wang Xifeng answered: "There are rumors from the servants of the East Mansion that Brother Rong went to Xia's house to kneel and kowtow to Miss Ren, and that's why Miss Xia forgives her."

Jia Yun asked curiously, "When did this happen?"

"It's been a while, it's just that the East Mansion issued a gag order so that those who know the news are not allowed to spread the word." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Yun suddenly said: "I mean, the courtyard of your Jia's mansion has not stopped working, and more than half of it has been built. I have been guessing where the money of Jia's mansion came from before, probably from the Xia family, right?"

Wang Xifeng nodded and said: "Well, after Brother Rong kowtowed, the Xia family girl gave him another 50 taels of silver, otherwise the Shengqin Villa would have stopped working."

Jia Yun thought for a while and said, "Although the Xia family is rich, if they spilled 100 million taels of silver, it is estimated that the family's wealth will be squeezed out soon, right?"

Although the Xia family is also an imperial merchant, but compared with the Xue family, it is still a little less sophisticated. It is already very remarkable to be able to spend 100 million taels of living money.

Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "The money was not taken for nothing. I heard that the first 50 taels were borrowed with the deed of the Ningguo Mansion as collateral, and the last 50 taels were borrowed from the old lady with the deed of the Rongguo Mansion. "

Jia Yun clicked her tongue twice, and said: "I guess the Jia family is thinking of waiting for the girl from the family to come, so that they can get both money and wealth, right? But as far as I know, the girl from the Xia family is not easy to get along with. In the future, Jia's house will have good friends The day is over!"

"No matter how difficult it is to get along with the girls of the Xia family, when you come to Jia's mansion, you must not abide by the rules of Jia's mansion?" Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly.

Jia Yun shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily true. That girl has something to do, she really dares to make trouble, and she has two house deeds, which made her anxious. She might dare to drive everyone out of Jia's house!"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said: "She dares! If it's against the heavens, I will pay you back!"

"Brother Yun's words are too serious, isn't the girl from the Xia family really so fierce?" Li Wan worried.

If it was just the Ningguo Mansion, she would not be worried, but if the Rongguo Mansion also suffered, her peaceful life would also be affected, so she couldn't help but not care.

Jia Yun glanced at Wang Xifeng, and said to Li Wan, "I'm not exaggerating at all, that girl is very likely to do such a thing!"

Xue Baochai said happily: "Fortunately, at the beginning the Xia family wanted to marry our Xue family, but was blocked by my brother, otherwise the family would not be peaceful!"

"Don't be afraid, no matter how fierce she is, she is just a girl's family. When she enters Jia's mansion, I believe the old lady will find a way to get the deed back." Wang Xifeng said.

Jia Yun was too lazy to argue with her, so she changed the subject and said, "By the way, why did you come here so neatly today, are you not afraid that others will find out?"

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan looked at each other, Li Wan pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly:

"Brother Rong is getting married, we aunts naturally need to help, so we came here under the guise of going shopping."

Wang Xifeng said: "Recently, the mansion has been rather hectic because of Brother Rong's marriage. When I came out this morning, even Tan girl wanted to come out with us. Her mind was distracted, and some less important rules were temporarily ignored!"

"Jia Tanchun." Jia Yun said thoughtfully, "She seems to be quite powerful."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Tan Yatou is indeed very good, but her birth is not very good."

Although Jia Tanchun was raised by Mrs. Wang's side and had a good reputation in Jia's mansion, he was born of a concubine after all.

Wang Xifeng sighed: "That girl is a ghost, but she was dragged down by Aunt Zhao."

"You can't say that. No matter how bad Aunt Zhao is, she is also the mother of Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan. No matter how strict the etiquette is, it can't stop the bloodliness." Jia Yun pondered.

In ancient times, this was not good. Children born to aunts should not be called their own mothers, but their regular wives should be their mothers.

This is also the reason why aunts generally lived in peace when the house was raided in ancient times.

Because no matter from the law or from the family, the aunt is an outsider.

To put it bluntly, they are just tools for procreation and lust.

Those who have children are okay, they can change their household registration to civilians.

Those without children are slaves until death, and they can be transferred and given away at will.

Li Wan said with a smile: "Speaking of Tanya, when I met her this morning, she even said that she wanted to visit your nephew's house!"

Jia Yun said speechlessly: "She's a girl from every family, why come here?"

"Oh, maybe she doesn't have much place to go?" Wang Xifeng said with a slight smile.

Jia Yun asked suspiciously: "I have conflicts with Jia's house, many people know about it, isn't she afraid of offending the people in your house?"

"Who knows what she thinks?" Wang Xifeng said with her mouth puckered.

Li Wan guessed: "Aunt Zhao probably took care of it. Brother Yun is an official now, and the family has money envoys. If Tanchun comes to play, he can receive a few gifts, so it's not a loss."

"Furthermore, Aunt Zhao is bad or bad, but she is also planning for Jia Huan's future. If Tanchun brings Jia Huan over, let's get acquainted first, and maybe I will ask you for help in the future."

Jia Yun frowned and said, "Ask me for help? Isn't Jia's mansion quite majestic? Why are you targeting me?"

"If you ask me, this is Aunt Zhao's shrewdness." Wang Xifeng answered.

"She was able to become an aunt from a maid, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her intelligence."

"Aunt Zhao must have noticed that Jia's stamina is not strong enough. When Jia Huan grows up, the day lily is going to be cold. Why don't we leave a way out earlier?"

"As for why you made the idea on your head, I guess it's a matter of time or not. Anyway, visiting a girl's house to visit a nephew's house won't hurt you."

At this time, Lin Daiyu interjected, "Third sister's thoughts shouldn't be that complicated, right?"

Wang Xifeng laughed, but said nothing.

On the contrary, Li Wan explained in a low voice: "Although the third girl's mind is not so complicated, her mother has it. For Jia Huan, even if the third girl is unwilling to do some things, she will bite the bullet and agree."

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, but said nothing more.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, not to mention places like Rongguo Mansion, where it is even more complicated.

Xue Baochai asked Jia Yun, "Husband, on the day Jia Rong gets married, shall we go with our family?"

Jia Yun nodded and said: "If you want to go, make trouble, but you still have to lose face, and you can't let outsiders see the joke."

"Brother Yun is right. There is a saying that pouring wine in front of the enemy, not to mention that the relationship between the eldest and the third bedroom has not reached the point where they will never see each other. Jia Rong is married, and Brother Yun should go. " Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said.

Jia Yun said with a smile: "In the final analysis, the conflict between the eldest and the third room stems from a dispute over face..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "But isn't a person just a face?"

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "That's not entirely true. People should not live their lives just for face."

A successful career, a stable family, a decent life, and a bright future are the criteria for a successful person.

However, this state of life is just in front of others, and only you know the real state of life.

What others see is only their own magnificence, but they fail to see their own embarrassment.

Everyone wants to be able to face everything without being humble or overbearing, calm and elegant, but how many people can really do it?

Jia Yun believes that Jia's intentional ostentation and maintaining a superficial appearance are just swollen faces to pretend to be fat, which ultimately harms her family.

Jia's decline, in fact, they themselves know.

But for that little bit of scenery, not only the mansion supported it, but also participated in the court struggle.

This is how disasters are brought about.

In fact, as the founding meritorious service of the Jia Mansion, the mansion has declined. The best way is to recognize the reality, lay off staff when necessary, and devote all energy to cultivating future generations. That is the right thing to do.

But Jia's mansion, old and young, is all immersed in pleasure.

There is only one Jia Lan who is studying hard because of her mother Li Wan's insistence.

Even Jia Zheng, who was a grandfather, said that he was the first class in reading, but he didn't see how much he valued Jia Lan.

Of course, as a bystander, Jia Yun would not share these views with outsiders.

Jia's house will be ransacked due to court disputes in the future, and it deserves it.

He would just sit on the sidelines and rescue Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, Li Wan and Jia Lan at the right time.

Nothing else will do.

After chatting for a while, Wang Xifeng secretly winked at Jia Yun.

Jia Yun knew that as long as Wang Xifeng and the others came over, it was time for her to add a meal.

I haven't seen them for a while, so I guess I'm busy today.

Coming out of Xue Baochai's courtyard, Wang Xifeng and Heping soon followed.

After they approached, Jia Yun said with a smirk: "Seeing how eager you are, are you so hungry?"

"I'm so hungry, what's the matter?" Wang Xifeng gave him a blank look, and said angrily.

"I'm in my early twenties, just because you made me angry, it's like a mark, other men can't touch it, we're widows every day, why don't we come here to greedy you?"

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng felt unspeakably wronged and sad.

As a normal woman, the demand is pretty high.

But since getting back together with Jia Yun, she has been in a state of hunger and fullness. Only she knows how sad the days are.

What's more, this guy even made fun of her, it's really annoying!

Seeing that she was going to get angry, Jia Yun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're greedy for me, and I'm greedy for you too, is that okay?"

"Hmph, don't say nice words, just give me as much strength as you want today, if you don't feed me, I will have good fruit!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile on her lips, turning her head to one side.

Ping'er on the side laughed and looked at Jia Yun affectionately, his eyes almost popping out, thinking too hard.

The three of them came to Wang Xifeng's courtyard and were about to enter the room to do some work when Li Wan and Suyun followed.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even agree to call me." Li Wan stepped forward and said with a smile.

Jia Yun smiled and didn't speak.

Did Li Wan call them? Jia Yun knew very well that the master and servant followed secretly.

Wang Xifeng thought that Li Wan really called them, so she glanced at Jia Yun, blushed, stepped forward and took Li Wan's hand and explained, "I had a discussion with Brother Yun just now, but I didn't pay attention."

Li Wan himself was also wronged, so he didn't ask what the discussion was about, but said:

"Speaking of which, since you have a yard here, it's the first time I've come to visit, so that I can see the layout of your room?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's convenient, why is it inconvenient? Let's go in together."

The two entered the room hand in hand, with Jia Yun, Ping'er and Su Yun lagging behind.

Jia Yun put her arms around the waists of the two maids, and whispered, "Come on, let's go to the next room, and don't care about their eccentricities."

Ping'er covered her mouth with a smile, looked at her differently, and followed Jia Yun.

Suyun was more obedient than Ping'er, biting her red lips, leaning on Jia Yun's body, if she wasn't still in the yard, she would have hung on to him long ago.

Here, after Wang Xifeng and Li Wan entered the room, they realized that no one was following them. After looking at each other, Wang Xifeng said angrily:

"Fuck! Let the two girls win the first place, what are we going to fight for?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Suyun's laughing and laughing voice next door, mixed with Ping'er's panting.

"Shall we... want to go there..." Wang Xifeng hesitated.

If it's just her peace, then it's fine, the key is that there is Li Wan, she is always a little embarrassed.

Li Wan shook his head, bit his lips tightly, and wanted to go when he heard the voice next to him.

But after all, she came from a scholarly family, and although she was very dissolute in private, but now she was with Wang Xifeng and wanted to get involved, but her face was a little tense.

Wang Xifeng sighed, looked at the sky outside, feeling a little anxious secretly.

The voices from the next door became louder, and the long-awaited Wang Xifeng was stimulated, and her body softened instantly.

She walked a few steps, sat down on the stool, lay down on the table, buried her head in her arms, and remained motionless.

Hearing the voice next door, Li Wan couldn't help flushing.

After taking a deep breath, seeing Wang Xifeng lying there, she hesitated for a moment, and then sat down, her legs were not in control, rubbing against each other non-stop.

"Ah! Master, I like it so much!" At this moment, Suyun's scream came from the next door.

Wang Xifeng sat up and stood up abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Suyun is so shameless!"

Li Wan, who was lying on the table with a ruddy face, raised his head, exhaled, and said:
"Why are you competing with the maid? If you want to go, you can go, and I won't watch your jokes!"

Seeing her radiant face, Wang Xifeng seemed to have discovered a new continent. You must know that Li Wan usually has a clean and upright face in Jia's mansion, how could it be like this now?

Wang Xifeng's face softened, she smiled, stood up and walked to Li Wan's side, while she was not paying attention, lifted her skirt and reached out to take it out!
"Good guy!" Wang Xifeng gasped, took her hand back, rubbed her fingers, and there was a trace of mucus on it.

Li Wan's face turned red with embarrassment, she was ashamed and angry, and cursed: "Well, you shameless Wang Xifeng, you don't want any face at all!"

Wang Xifeng poured a cup of tea, washed his hands, and said disapprovingly, "I don't want to come here if I want face, I've lost face and skin long ago!"
