The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 550 Wang Xifeng splashes water in anger

The banquet last night was very large. As the person in charge of housekeeping, Wang Xifeng was busy until midnight before going home to sleep.

After lying down, I wondered if I made any mistakes during the day, and calculated the next day's affairs for a while before falling asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by a sound.

Listening carefully, it turned out that someone was singing nearby.When I heard the tune, it was the song "Girls" that was popular in Beihai recently.After a while, the song was changed, and it sounded like a local love song from Beihai.

There's nothing wrong with singing, it's just that the singing is really ugly.It made Wang Xifeng feel very uncomfortable.

It is very early in the summer here in Beihai. Wang Xifeng took Jia Lian's pocket watch and looked at it, and it was only after three o'clock in the morning.

I slept late yesterday, my head was groggy.Seeing that it was still early, I wanted to sleep for a while.

However, as soon as the singing was disturbed, I could no longer fall asleep.

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were living on the second floor of the small building. When she got up, she cursed at the window, and the singing stopped.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, the singing sounded again.

Wang Xifeng leaned over the window and looked, and it turned out that Jia Yun was singing next to her house.

"Brother Yun, what if your mother is dead? You came here early in the morning to sing, and let no one rest. Get the hell out of here."

"Second Aunt Lian, I'm here to sing for Xiaohong."

Jia Yun said cheekily.

Wang Xifeng looked to the side, and sure enough, he saw his maid Xiaohong was at the door downstairs, and the two of them were looking at each other through the door.

Seeing what Jia Yun said, Xiao Hong quickly slipped into the house.

After Ping'er left from Wang Xifeng's place, Feng'er became Wang Xifeng's first maid, and later Wang Xifeng gave Feng'er to Jia Rong, and Xiaohong became the first maid.

When she was still in Jia's mansion, Jia Yun had flirted with Xiaohong. You have feelings for the two of them, but I do.Later, when Jia Yun arrived at the Fubingtuan, she temporarily left her behind.

After Xiaohong followed Wang Xifeng to Beihai, the two picked it up again.

Encouraged by Liu Xianglian's success in singing love songs to Third Sister You yesterday, Jia Yun came to sing to Xiaohong early this morning.

Wang Xifeng was annoyed by Jia Yun, so she went to the water tank in the outhouse, got a basin full of water, and brought it to the window.

"Brother Yun, do you want to marry Xiaohong?"

As soon as Jia Yun heard what Wang Xifeng said, she hurried to the window.

"Second Aunt Lian, I have exactly this intention. I hope that my aunt will be perfect and marry Xiaohong to me. In the future, I will definitely..."

Wow, before Jia Yun finished speaking, Wang Xifeng poured a basin of water on Jia Yun's head.

"Second Aunt, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Why do you still have to throw me?"

"Come here early in the morning to mourn, and want to marry Xiaohong, go back."

Jia Yun had no choice but to leave sadly.

"It's just singing, why do you splash water on him?"

Jia Lian was awakened, so she couldn't help blaming Wang Xifeng.

"Hmph, one by one, they failed in their studies when they arrived in Beihai, and they were all brought down by the fourth brother Min."

"What does this have to do with fourth brother Min? It's not him who came to sing."

"Hmph, this fourth Min, I get angry when I think of him. Back then, I blackmailed Ping'er from me, but now Brother Yun is thinking about Xiao Hong again."

"Men's college should be married and female's should be married. Xiaohong is not young anymore. Since Brother Yun treats her well, you can help them, and they can still be grateful to you for the rest of their lives. You haven't heard people say that if you don't stay in a female college, you can stay." Come and stay and stay as enemies. Didn't Ping'er and the others still make a fuss about marrying Yuanyang and Xiren off yesterday?"

"Xiaohong is gone, where can I find someone like her?"

"When Ping'er left, you said the same thing. Haven't you come here these years? Brother Yun is something we know all about. If you promise Xiaohong to him, you can rest assured."

"Oh, that's all, after a while, they will be fulfilled."

The old lady fell asleep after watching the play last night.As you get older, you sleep lightly.When I got up early in the morning, I was accompanied by mandarin ducks for a walk in the garden.

Seeing Jia Yun, he called him over.

"Brother Yun, what's the matter, I'm soaked through early in the morning, and it hasn't rained yet."

"Old ancestor, don't mention it, it wasn't Lian's second aunt who splashed it."

"Why did she splash you?"

Jia Yun knew this and couldn't hide it, so she told the truth.The happy old lady giggled.

"It's your right to mess with you. Early in the morning, you're going to mess with that hot guy. That's enough, go back and change your clothes, and let people see you. You're embarrassing again."

Jia Yun left, and the old lady turned to Yuanyang.

"Yuanyang, do you really like that Liu Cheng?"

"Old Ancestor, I don't like anyone, and I will follow you for the rest of my life."

"Don't say such stupid things. Now that you have settled down, you are old enough to get married. But once you leave, who will I rely on in the future? Amber is not bad, after all, I am still a little careless."

"Even if I'm married, I still have to serve my ancestors."

"Look at you, tell the truth. Forget it, let me marry you. However, if you are married, you still have to come and serve me, and I will pay you."

"Grandfather, I don't want wages."

"Hey, that's not okay. If you don't pay you, people will laugh at me. Don't worry, I will pay you your dowry, and I will marry you off in a glorious manner."

After dinner was set in the morning, the old lady sent mandarin ducks, amber, etc. to inform the masters of the mansion to come to her.Even Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan, and Xiren who lived in the Grand View Garden were called together.

After everyone arrived, Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang were called in first.

"Now I don't need you to come to greet me in the morning, so I specially called you here today. I have something to discuss with you."

"If mother has something to say, just tell her. There is no need to discuss with us."

Jia She said politely.

"I think you all know about mandarin ducks and attackers. Last night I thought about it too. The two of them have grown up, so it's time to get married. Let them get married."

"I have a few things that I want to tell you. One is to redeem them. I promised Yuanyang in the first place. Xiren has served Baoyu since he was a child, and redeemed himself just like Yuanyang."

"Secondly, I found a place for Yuanyang and Xiren to be married, and asked them to recognize their adoptive father and adoptive mother."

"It's a good thing, who did my mother find?"

Jia Amnesty asked.

"It's you who are far away in the sky and close in front of you."

"us?"

The four immediately looked at each other.

"Yes, it's you. Boss, Yuanyang will be your adopted daughter from now on, and second child, Xiren will be your adopted daughter from now on."

"Don't think this is degrading your identity, let me tell you, it just elevates your identity."

"In addition, I prepared a dowry for Yuanyang, second child, when the time comes, you also prepare a dowry for Xiren."

"I did this not on a whim, but for a reason."

"It's been a long time since I've been in Beihai, haven't you guys understood the situation here? It's different from the emperor here. It's about ability here, not about high or low birth."

"When more than 1 exiles came here, they became free. Now they are loyal to Beihai. The two maids of our family have worked so hard for our family for so many years. Shouldn't it be right to redeem them?"

"The children under your knees are already weak, and there is no burden if you have multiple adopted daughters. It is just a name. The good reputation you will get in the future is worth more than anything else."

"Give them a dowry, and it doesn't cost much. They will remember your kindness for the rest of their lives. The three poor and the three rich live to old age. You have to look at the long-term. Now that Liu Cheng is also promising. Jiang Yuhan is also considered a No. [-] person, who guarantees that you won't need them in the future?"

"Jiao Li, Li Gui, Ning'er, Fenghua, Xueyue, who could have seen the future today? So, when you look at things, you have to take a long-term view. It is worthwhile to contribute some dowry money."

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. If you want to, let them confess their marriage. Think it over and tell me something."

"Mother, we do."

Jia Zheng made his statement first.

"Yes, mother, we would."

Mrs. Wang also expressed her opinion.

The old lady's prestige is so high now, she said so, it is not easy to disobey.What she said just now is indeed reasonable.

Xiren was also an acceptable candidate for Mrs. Wang, so she readily agreed.

"Boss, how about you?"

"Mother, we also agree."

Mrs. Xing made her statement first.

Of course, she has calculated the old lady's calculations.There is nothing to lose no matter what.What's more, she knew that Jia She was thinking about Yuanyang, but now that she married Yuanyang, Jia She's thoughts were completely cut off.This is where she feels most satisfied.

"Such a good thing, we are naturally willing."

Jia Amnesty finally expressed his opinion.It's just that there are some whispers in my heart.

Alas, I originally planned to have Yuanyang as my concubine, but now I have become my adopted daughter, and I can no longer make such a plan in the future.

However, Liu Cheng is also one of the leading figures in Beihai, and he seems to have more face than brother Lian. It is a good thing to have this son-in-law.

It's still the mother who can settle the accounts, but there are such benefits in just making a name, no matter how you calculate, it is cost-effective.

"I did this to save you some face from Brother Ming. I still have a few more years to live, but you will have a long time to come."

"This time we turned against the royal family. If Chang'an didn't come forward, we might not be alive today. Aren't those families all finished? Why did Chang'an speak for our family? Isn't it because of Brother Min's face?"

"We didn't contribute much to Beihai's family business at the beginning. It was all created by Ming Geer himself. We can't help him with anything else. We can help him earn some fame and don't cause trouble for him. He speaks harder in front of others."

"Even if we leave in the future, the younger generations will still rely on brother Ming in the future. You have to think about them."

"Mother's lesson is, we get it."

"It's good for you to understand. In the past few days, choose an auspicious day and recognize your relatives. You go out, and call Qingwen for me by the way."

When Ping'er and the others were waiting, they felt a little uneasy.Seeing the old ancestor looking for the elders alone, he felt even more uncertain.

Now when they heard that Qingwen was called in alone, they all looked at Qingwen together.

Although Qingwen was bitter and mean, she wanted to gain the upper hand, but that was under other circumstances.

In front of the old lady, she was as obedient as a kitten.

Now that she heard the old lady calling her, her legs trembled a little, and she entered the house tremblingly.
