Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 135 Wang Xifeng's Suspicion

After two days of rest, the Lin family's father and daughter finally washed away their exhaustion.

Feng Yibo took the gift and went straight to Jia's Mansion in Rongguo with the two of them.

As soon as he arrived at Ningrong Street, there were already servants waiting outside.

After welcoming them in through the corner gate, Daiyu was taken directly to the back house.

Lin Ruhai and Feng Yibo went to the main hall to meet.

It's rare that brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng gather together, accompanied by Jia Lian and Baoyu.

As soon as the two arrived at the main hall, all the young and old of the Jia family stood up to greet them.

"Meet the two brothers-in-law!"

Lin Ruhai saluted first, Jia Amnesty stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile:
"Ruhai has just recovered from a serious illness, and he has lost a lot of weight!"

Jia Zheng also smiled and agreed:
"It's indeed reduced, but the face looks good."

"Ru Hai's description has changed, but the two brothers-in-law still have the same demeanor, which is really enviable!"

With one word from Lin Ruhai, he took care of both of them.

Afterwards, all the juniors saluted one by one, and the guests and hosts were seated separately.

When Jia Lian and Feng Yibo saw the ceremony, they whispered:
"Your sister-in-law will definitely ask you in a while, but don't say you missed it, Yibo!"

Feng Yibo naturally understood that what he was talking about was about Guerlain.

After giving him a reassuring look, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone chatted in the hall for a while, Lin Ruhai proposed to visit his mother-in-law.

A group of men came rushing to the backyard in a mighty manner.

I got the letter here early.

The two big maids, Hu Po and Glass, and four second-class maids were waiting in the aisle.

When he saw the crowd coming, he hurried forward to lead the way.

Jia Lian and Feng Yibo followed behind, walking side by side.

Originally, he wanted to take care of a few more words.

But Baoyu is still following behind, so it is inconvenient to say more.

"Ruhai pays respects to mother-in-law!"

As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the house, he rushed forward and paid respects.

Mrs. Shi was supported by the mandarin duck and jadeite, stepped forward to help him up in person, crying and laughing and said:
"Okay, okay! Your body is getting better, stronger than anything else!"

Then the juniors on both sides greeted each other.

Feng Yibo pays a visit to Jia's mother and several wives.

The daughters-in-law of each house, Sanchun and Daiyu also came to see my uncle and uncle.

After the two parties greeted each other, the daughter-in-law and the girl went to the other room.

Here the elders and men stayed to talk, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang waited on Jiamu.

Seeing Lin Ruhai, Mrs. Shi couldn't help thinking of the dead Jia Min, and felt sad for a moment.

"It's been years since the trip to Yangzhou, and I left my Min'er there!"

"Now that I don't have a daughter, my poor Yu'er has no mother either!"

While speaking, Mrs. Shi's tears started to fall down.

The two ladies beside him comforted softly.

Mentioning Jia Min made Lin Ru feel uncomfortable.

Then she shed two tears, but didn't want to mention Jia Min's matter.

He only said: "It's Ruhai's fault that it makes mother-in-law worry!"

Mother Jia was tired from crying, so she wiped her tears and said:
"Fortunately, you're fine this time, otherwise what would Yu'er do?"

Lin Ruhai also wiped away tears, forced a smile, and said:
"Thanks to my mother-in-law, I recovered from my illness this time, so I just returned to Beijing."

"From now on, I can take over Min'er's behalf and show some filial piety to my mother-in-law."

As soon as Jia Min was mentioned, Jia's mother wiped her tears again.

At this time, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng repeatedly comforted her, and Jia's mother stopped crying.

After a while, Mother Jia reproached again:
"I asked Lian'er when Lian'er came back! Why don't Ruhai and Yu'er come and live here?"

Hearing the words, Feng Yibo hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and said with a smile: "It's not my uncle's fault, it's all Yibo's negligence."

"I'm afraid that my uncle and Daiyu will be exhausted, and I'm afraid that seeing the tired face of the old lady will only increase my worries."

"That's why I made the decision. I stayed at my house for two days, and I just came here today."

Mother Jia knew the situation naturally, and nodded when she heard the words, but said:

"Since you're here today, don't leave, your father and daughter will be raised in the mansion from now on, don't go anywhere!"

As he spoke, he sniffled and lamented:

"If Daiyu isn't here to accompany me, I won't be able to sleep honestly!"

Lin Ruhai was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, hesitatingly said:

"Mother-in-law loves her so much, Ruhai should have obeyed her orders!"

"It's just that I'm in good health now, and I don't need to rest anymore."

Having said that, he smiled embarrassingly and said:
"In the next few days, I'm going to hand in the job of inspecting the salt, and I'm going back to Lantai Temple to perform my duties."

This is the man's business, and it's not easy for Jia's mother to stop it after hearing this.

However, although she nodded, she still said:

"You have court affairs, I will naturally not stop you, but Daiyu must stay."

Lin Ruhai immediately nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and said:

"That's right. Daiyu is still young, so she wanted to ask her mother-in-law to help her raise her."

Then everyone chatted for a while, and a servant came to ask for instructions, saying that a banquet had been set up ahead.

Everyone got up to see each other off, Feng Yibo and Jia Lian walked last.

Just arrived at the three halls, the elders in front had already bypassed the screen.

Then someone yelled from behind: "Uncle Feng, please slow down!"

Feng Yibo turned his head and saw Ping'er and Wang Xifeng chasing after him.

The other daughters-in-law and girls seemed to know what she was doing, and they covered their mouths and smiled from a distance.

Jia Lian also stopped, frowned and said, "Brother Yibo has to go to the front for a drink, do you want the elders to wait for us?"

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Then why don't you go and sue him quickly? Just say that someone left Brother Yibo to ask a few questions, and he will be there later."

"you!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian pointed at Wang Xifeng, but when she saw Wang Xifeng's eyes stare, she immediately weakened a little.

Thinking of saying hello to Feng Yibo before, he didn't feel embarrassed here, turned around and chased after the elders.

This dumbfounding scene seems to be often staged in Jia's house.

Whether it's Ping'er, or the female relatives watching the fun from a distance.

It seemed that he didn't even bother to laugh.

Feng Yibo suppressed his smile, stepped forward to salute:

"I met Lian's second sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng took the lead when she came up, and said resentfully:
"Brother Yibo, you are not authentic!"

"Oh?"

Feng Yibo knew what she was referring to when he heard the words, but he still pretended to be stupid and said:

"What does Lian's second sister-in-law mean?"

"What do you mean you don't know?"

Wang Xifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, approached slightly, and asked:

"How did you promise me before you left?"

"If Lian's second sister-in-law didn't say anything, I almost forgot."

When Feng Yibo heard the words, he suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said with a smile:
"When I left, Lian's second sister-in-law said that as long as Lian's second brother didn't go to see the Yangzhou skinny horse, he would owe me a favor and he would be rewarded, right?"

He forced himself not to laugh, and said, "I don't know if Lian's second sister-in-law's words still count now?"

"you!"

Wang Xifeng choked, remembering that she really said so.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo immediately took another step closer, deliberately saying:
"Understood, Lian's second sister-in-law came to see me just to fulfill the promise she made that day."

"Quickly tell me, what is Lian's second sister-in-law's favor worth?"

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said, "What I'm saying is, don't let your second brother Lian mess around!"

Feng Yibo naturally wouldn't admit it, he immediately shook his head, and started messing around:
"I don't know if Lian's second brother is here or not, but I can assure you that he has never touched a Yangzhou skinny horse."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng wanted to interrupt, Feng Yibo added:
"You can confront Uncle Lin about this matter, I have absolutely no lies."

Although Lin Ruhai was brought out as a security guard, Wang Xifeng was not so easy to fool, and after hearing the words, he still pursued closely.

"Tell me first, is he messing around?"

Feng Yibo naturally wouldn't be surrounded by her, and smiled slightly.

"The second sister-in-law of Lian is changing the subject and doesn't want to keep her promise?"

"you!"

Wang Xifeng has a strong temper, and can't tolerate being talked about, and suppresses her anger when she hears the words.

"Who said you can't cash it? I'll cash it for you right now!"

Speaking of which, he shouted, "Ping'er!"

"what?"

Feng Yibo was stunned for a moment, then deliberately patted his heart, let out a sigh of relief, and said:

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng frowned immediately, and then glared at him with some understanding.

"Oh! You don't miss my family, Ping'er, do you?"

"Second sister-in-law Lian, don't talk nonsense, I don't care if I'm a man, at most people say I'm romantic, but sister Ping'er has to take her reputation into consideration!"

Feng Yibo shook his head again and again, then squinted at her and said:
"What's more, sister Ping'er is with you like a shadow, so you will inevitably implicate yourself by saying this."

"Pfft!"

When Ping'er heard the two talk about her, she was already annoyed.

But hearing Feng Yibo go around and talk about Wang Xifeng, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Only then did he understand that Feng Yibo's intention was for Wang Xifeng, not himself.

Of course, this intention is not meant to be interesting, but to make fun of this hot pepper.

"Okay!"

Wang Xifeng also reacted.

It can be seen that Ping'er smiled and was suddenly annoyed.

Pulling Ping'er's arm, he said angrily:
"Are you turning your elbow out? You're still laughing at me!"

"Didn't the second sister-in-law of Lian say that she would cash it? I can't wait for what kind of reward it is!"

Feng Yibo deliberately said the word "thick report" heavily, waiting for Wang Xifeng's response.

Wang Xifeng gritted his teeth and glanced at him, then turned around and told Ping'er:

"A while ago, the top-quality bird's nest sent by Princess Nan'an was a rarity from overseas. Sister Lin is not in the mansion, so just send her my share."

"Yes!"

Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng must be in pain, so she helped explain:
"Such top quality cannot be bought in the market. Miss Lin is already weak, so it is suitable to use bird's nest for nourishment!"

Wang Xifeng felt more at ease when he heard the words, but said:

"Sister Lin is my younger sister, so she should take care of her, but if she says this as a repayment, Yibo won't mind, right?"

"Thank you, Lian's second sister-in-law, for your love!"

Although the best bird's nest, Feng Yibo brought a lot to Daiyu.

But this intention cannot be refuted.

If it was sent to him, he could still pick and choose.

But the other party gave Lin Daiyu as a gift, so Feng Yibo could only thank him.

Seeing that the opponent was satisfied, Wang Xifeng wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue.

Ask about Jiangnan again.

She didn't believe that Jia Lian could be honest, so she had to use some excuses to make him remember.

Feng Yibo didn't give her a chance to continue asking questions. After thanking her, he immediately said:

"There are elders in front of me, so it's inconvenient for them to wait for a long time, so I won't talk to Lian's second sister-in-law any more."

"you!"

Wang Xifeng lost his wife and lost his army.

The bird's nest was gone, and he didn't ask anything, he was a little annoyed, and said:
"I figured it out, your second brother Lian must have been messing around a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have left in a hurry."

Seeing that Feng Yibo only left behind him and his back, she also shouted:

"Don't think that if you are slippery, I have nothing to do with Jia Lian!"

"Tell him, if I catch a little bit of it in the future, he will have to eat it and walk around!"

Feng Yibo went to the front and pleaded guilty before taking his seat.

Jia Lian couldn't wait to come over and ask him about the situation.

What I got was naturally a "OK" expression.

Now Jia Lian is completely relieved, but thinking of Wang Xifeng, she will definitely not let it go.

He quickly asked Xing'er and Long'er to make arrangements.

On the other side, according to Wang Xifeng's instructions, Ping'er brought the best bird's nest to Daiyu.

Qingwen was packing Daiyu's things, when she saw Ping'er coming, she hurried forward to salute her.

"What wind brought Sister Ping'er here?"

"Naturally the sea breeze!"

Ping'er joked, then handed over the things in his hand, and introduced:
"This is the top-quality bird's nest sent by Princess Nan'an a while ago, and it is a rarity overseas."

"Our grandma knew that Miss Lin needed nourishment, so she specially asked me to bring it."

Daiyu was still with Jia Mu, and had no time to go back to the house.

Qingwen is her big girl, and she can welcome and see her off on her behalf.

That's why Ping'er was relieved to give it to her.

"Then let me thank you on behalf of our girl. When the girl comes back, I will definitely go there and thank you."

Qingwen took the bird's nest and opened it to have a look.

He smiled and wrapped it up, put it in a cabinet, and commented:

"Although it's a bit worse than what our girls usually eat, it's not bad."

"What did you say?"

Ping'er thought he had heard wrong.

Qingwen heard that she knew she was aphasia, and quickly covered up:

"It's nothing, nothing. My girl eats bird's nest on weekdays. It's similar to this one. It's just right for me."

Although what he said was different from what he said just now, Ping'er still didn't believe it, and questioned:

"Your girl usually eats this?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't believe it herself, and said with a smile:
"You can't understand it just by looking at it. This is the best first-class lamp for the rainy season, and you can't buy it in the market!"

The first batch of bird's nest in the rainy season is called the first batch of bird's nest in the rainy season.

The bird's nest sent by Concubine Nan'an looked good in shape and high in clarity, almost without a trace of feathers.

It is indeed the best.

but……

"Why do I not understand?"

Qingwen was always competitive, so she retorted when she heard the words:

"The one you took is considered good, but it's not as full as my family's."

"If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"

As he spoke, he took out two from the cabinet and opened them.

One was sent by Ping'er just now, and the other was already in the cabinet.

She opened two oil-paper bags and said:
"The bird's nest you took is transparent and complete without any impurities. It's really good."

"But if you compare it with ours, you will know the gap."

"Ah this..."

Ping'er saw that it was indeed as she said.

Daiyu's original one is not only good in shape, but also high in clarity.

The one visible to the naked eye is a quarter larger than the one she sent!

Don't underestimate this quarter.

If the two are compared, the value will be at least doubled.

It's clear at a glance who is the real best.

"These are all purchased by Uncle Feng from overseas. It seems that the gift from Concubine Nan'an is not as good as this!"

Qingwen looked proud, as if she had won.

Unfortunately no rewards.

Ping'er was a little embarrassed, but he had to admit it, saying:

"Sure enough, your family is better, but my grandma is throwing the wrong wink."

As soon as these words came out, Qingwen also knew that something was wrong, and suddenly felt a little bit embarrassed.

Rarely subdued, said: "Sister Ping'er, I'm all to blame for talking nonsense, don't you talk about it with Lian's second grandma."

Seeing that Ping'er only looked at it with a smile, but didn't speak, she said softly:
"Qingwen's a girl is nothing, but if she offends Second Grandma Lian because of this, I really can't redeem myself."

"OK OK!"

Only then did Ping'er put down her airs and said:

"I don't know your temperament yet. This is me. If I meet someone else, I have to disturb you."

Qingwen thanked her repeatedly after hearing the words: "Thank you, sister Ping'er! Thank you very much!"

Before Qingwen could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Ping'er say: "But I also want to talk to grandma about this!"

"what?"

Qingwen immediately became anxious, but fortunately Ping'er smiled again and said:
"Don't worry, I won't say you showed off."
