Men absolutely need to know what to say when facing what kind of woman.
Wang Xifeng has a strong desire for control, Ping'er seeks perfection at every turn, and Qin Keqing tries to compromise herself. When facing these three different women, people will unconsciously adopt different attitudes and behaviors.
As the saying goes, those who often wrong themselves will always encounter scumbag men and scumbag women. Those who have a strong desire to control can easily make the other person breathless, leading to conflicts. People like Ping'er are the easiest to get along with.
Of course, this doesn't mean that character is bad. After all, although Wang Xifeng has a strong desire for control, she is the one who often compromises in front of Jia Rong. Although Qin Keqing often compromises and seeks perfection, he will occasionally show his temper.
People have always been complex, not flat or labeled.
As long as you find the most appropriate and natural point of communication, everything is not that difficult.
"It's cold...it's a bit difficult!" Ping'er rolled his eyes at Uncle Rong and carefully put down the ice cube in his mouth. She felt that her tongue and face were all numb with ice.
Brother Rong helped Ping'er think of a way to pour warm water from a copper pot overnight. "A sip of warm water in your mouth will relieve the pain."
Ping'er's eyes were as charming as silk, and she glanced with resentment.
"Oh... Ouch!" Uncle Rong took a deep breath, "Oh! Yeah! Yeah..."
Alternate hot and cold.
"Ouch!"
Uncle Rong suddenly trembled.
Jian Ping'er spit out the small ice cube from his mouth, and a few drops of water dripped from the bottom of his transparent lips as the ice cube fell.
"Don't let the ice numb your mouth, take a sip of warm water and rinse it out!"
Ping'er responded with a blush on her face. After rinsing his mouth and coming back, he saw that Uncle Rong was still lying down. He said with a shameful face: "Uncle, please get up quickly. The bed is all wet. Let Ping'er change the bedding and sheets first, and then uncle can rest."
"Why don't you change the bedding and sheets? They will get wet again later." Brother Rong pulled Ping'er over and said.
"Just to make you comfortable, my mouth is still numb. Grandma will be here soon, what are you thinking about?" Ping'er twisted her waist, broke away from Uncle Rong's arms, and hummed: "She may not be able to let go. To punish you, why don't you blame me for provoking you? I will be the one to suffer in the end, let alone get scolded by her a few times, I won't be so foolish as to give you everything."
Ping'er started to act a little bit, but his handsome appearance made him look cute.
Brother Rong laughed, took Ping'er's little hand, and said, "You are overthinking it again. I'm going to rest in the house for a day, just hoping that I can say a few thoughtful words to my good friend Ping'er."
Ping'er snorted: "If you want to tell me your thoughtful words, I'd better go to Lixiangyuan. The sisters there are fragrant, and the courtyard also keeps cold scented pills at all times. Grandma, I'll tell you next time you go hang out in Lixiangyuan." Just take the scissors and click on that thing."
Uncle Rong had cold sweat dripping from his forehead and said sarcastically: "I went to Lixiangyuan for business, not for fun."
"Is there something serious that must be discussed in Lixiangyuan?" Someone suddenly walked up downstairs, it wasn't Wang Xifeng.
Jia Rong said happily: "You came here so early today?"
Sister Feng said calmly: "If you use this method too much, it will be ineffective in front of me. If you really have something to do, you have to go to Lixiangyuan? Just the two of you are there, don't spread any gossip." "
"Feng'er-in-law said, don't run there anymore." Brother Rong nodded and tried to pull Wang Xifeng to sit down in the hall on the second floor.
Wang Xifeng had sharp eyes. When she saw the wet look on the bed in the room, she knew that Brother Rong had been teasing Ping'er early in the morning. She said to Ping'er: "You are the same, and you should obey him in everything. Why don't you see your second master Ying Lian in the past? Now that you have changed people, why don't you see your steadfastness in the past?"
Ping'er snorted: "I didn't respond to him, don't think about using this matter to catch me. Ping'er followed grandma into Uncle Rong's room. Even if he agreed to everything, he is still loyal."
Sister Feng said happily: "Ouch, this little hooves is probably scolding me in his words."
Brother Rong pulled Wang Xifeng and said, "Why are you saying she is steadfast or not? In such a matter, no matter what the choice, she can never get the best of both worlds."
Ping'er went out holding the bedding and sheets. The reason for her steadfastness in the past was not because Wang Xifeng was on guard. Uncle Rong is still loyal now because he considers Wang Xifeng. How could Ping'er really not be angry at all? It just never showed.
"Are you still angry with her?" Uncle Rong hugged Ping'er from behind and said with a smile, "I've known her for so long, but I still don't know her temperament. She has always been open-mouthed."
Ping'er was spreading the quilt on the window sill. He suddenly slapped his hands and almost let the quilt fall to the ground. With a red face, he said: "I didn't get angry with her, uh...she's in the building."
Brother Rong smiled and said, "Didn't she say you are loyal? Show her how loyal you are."
Ping'er was so ashamed that he ran away with a sigh.
This made Wang Xifeng look at each other angrily, staring at Jia Rong, as if he wanted to skin him.
As the sun rose high, Qin Keqing, accompanied by Xiang Ling and Que'er, came down the tree-shaded path to Yixia Pavilion.
"It's quite cool on the first floor, and the trees on the left and right don't get enough sunlight." Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng sat down on the first floor and said with a smile, "You know how to choose a place, and you have taken up such a good place."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Isn't the main courtyard of Ningguo Mansion much better than this attic? How can you live in this dark place when you are pregnant with your child? This place is the most suitable for me."
Is there a profound meaning behind the words of the two women?
Brother Rong listened half-comprehensively. When did Wang Xifeng say such profound and sophisticated words?
Qin Keqing said: "If you are willing to come to the Dongfu Courtyard, I am willing too. Nowadays, Ruizhu and Baozhu are in charge of everything in the inner house. After all, these two little girls are not considerate enough. Although there is a wife who occasionally inquires, she is also around the wife. It’s just a person’s appearance, how can he show his sincerity.”
Wang Xifeng said: "What a beautiful idea, you want me to be the housekeeper? Your uncle has cleaned up the Lai family, and the Xibian Mansion has been in a mess these days. I have to take care of it all the time, so I don't have time to help you." "
Jia Rong didn't believe this. Lai Da's family was kicked out of the mansion. Is there no one in charge of the Xifu? Zhou Rui and Lin Zhixiao's family are well-known stewards in the mansion, and both men and women are shrewd.
There are many other unknown housekeepers. Isn't it possible to find one who can take over the position of Lai Da and his wife?
Brother Rong smiled and said, "Don't blame me. If the Lai family wants to die, I will give them a ride."
Wang Xifeng didn't want to mention the Lai family members, but Lai Shangrong's actions really chilled the hearts of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. Mr. and Mrs. Lai, Aunt Lai and others were all implicated by Lai Shangrong, but they were not unjustly accused.
The two daughters-in-law smiled and didn't reply. They supported Uncle Rong no matter what.
After a while, Mrs. You and Grandma Zhu, who heard the news, also came to Yixia Pavilion. There were more of these masters and maids, and even though there was no troupe, it became lively.
When the maids, grandmothers and wives get together, it is indispensable to play cards.
For men, playing cards will inevitably lead to being treated as a plaything, and Brother Rong has become a marginalized person again. Instead of asking for trouble here, I went to the clean room next to the ancestral hall.
"Is this what Ronger compiled?" Jia Jing asked.
Brother Rong smiled and said: "It's just a random thought. I was supposed to deliver it yesterday, but I was worried about being targeted by someone who wanted to do it."
Jia Jing nodded and read the contents of the booklet intently.
A long while.
Jia Jing shook his head and put the booklet away.
The Jia family had controlled the military power in the capital for decades, but they didn't expect it to be taken back by overt and covert promotions after only a few years of showing their virtue. Nowadays, even the nine-door infantry patrol yamen is not allowed to let the Jia family in. It is really a very deep defense.
Are you so afraid that the Jia family will suddenly open the gates of Shenjing, or are you afraid that the Jia family will lead the Beijing camp to attack Shenjing?
This feeling is very bad, and there are faint signs of losing power and settling accounts.
After decades of caution, he was actually not as good as his grandson. He took a deep look at his grandson. Others said he was a slanderer, but this grandson was even more scheming than himself.
Jia Jing said: "It will be arranged secretly."
"Excuse me, sir." Brother Rong laughed and felt relieved. Several big shots in the court have been hanging around, and there are many factions, which always make him fearful.
Jia Jing said: "Don't get too involved in outside affairs, they mess with theirs. Whether it's rebellion or seizing the heir, it has nothing to do with our Jia family. You are the leader of the family now, don't trust anyone, but it will ruin the Jia family." .”
It's not easy to take sides unless it's absolutely necessary.
"Rong'er saved it." Jia Rong said with a smile. "Of course we don't want to help."
Jia Rong stayed in the clean room all afternoon before going to the free school again.
The situation in Yi Xue was similar to what Jia Rong thought. There was nothing much to say, so he and Mr. Li came back after casually asking around.
In Yixia Pavilion, a group of card players also settled accounts.
"Which one wins again today?"
Wang Xifeng said sourly: "It's not a good idea to be a host every time, but today we barely let them win once. You must have good wine and good food in your house tonight."
It turned out that Qin Keqing and Youshi won the money.
Brother Rong laughed and said, "When aunt comes to Dongfu, how can I entertain you? Naturally, I have to serve the best wine and taste the most delicious dishes. The maids have already set up a banquet in Tianxiang Tower, waiting for the big guys. past."
Baochai also came at some point. Apparently this girl was not lucky enough. He smiled and said, "After staying in Dongfu for half a day, it's time to have a meal. It's still early today, so after eating, everyone can continue to play."
Are you not convinced that you have lost too much? Baochai should not be such a person.
Brother Rong was confused when Wang Xifeng laughed again and said: "We are serious sisters, but you don't help me, and you keep going against me. Who am I to ask for reason? You have to continue, I Can my sister be afraid of you?"
Qin Keqing said: "My aunt wants to play, but my niece-in-law can't accompany her. Later, let my wife accompany my aunts here."
You Shi also shook his head and said with a smile: "The sisters are going to fight over who will win or lose. I won't join in the fun. I will go back to the courtyard after dinner. Feng Lazi won't talk about it. Yixia Pavilion is her private territory, and she is the only one here. Host. No need for us to greet her, she can play whatever she wants."
Wang Xifeng snorted: "You have to leave one person in your family, otherwise you won't be able to get so many people together."
Sister Feng, what do you think I'm doing? Brother Rong was helpless, how could he play this game on his own? It looks like the calligraphy tablets of later generations, long and narrow, with colorful paintings inside that look like mahjong.
Jia Rong couldn't understand it at all.
Several people also went to Tianxiang Tower for dinner. Jia Rong deliberately stayed in Tianxiang Tower because he didn't want to play cards. I also thought that people like Xue Baochai would go back early so that they could have fun with Sister Feng and Qiao Ping'er in Yixia Pavilion all night.
There aren't many opportunities like this anymore. When I went to Yangzhou two days later, I still saw Sister Feng and Ping'er.
How could I let Xue Baochai ruin my good deeds?
"I knew you were hiding here. Grandma specially asked me to come and tell you to come over."
Ping'er returned from Yixia Pavilion, and when he waited upstairs, he saw Uncle Rong standing by the railing, staring at the night of Ningguo Mansion in a daze.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "You also know that I don't like playing cards, and I don't understand that stuff. Otherwise, Ping'er goes over and asks Sister Feng to send Aunt Bao away, and I will go back to Yixia Pavilion immediately."
Xue Baochai has left, what else can the uncle do in the past? Qiao Ping'er's face turned red and she hummed: "Miss Bao and grandma met inexplicably in the afternoon. It seems that she is determined not to leave tonight. I'd better put it aside."
Baochai doesn't want to leave?
Why go to Yixia Pavilion?
Brother Rong curled his lips, "I'd better take a look at the night sky in Ningguo Mansion here. When I go to Yangzhou, I won't be able to see this night sky."
Ping'er secretly laughed: "Grandma knew that uncle was thinking this way. So she specially left a message and asked Ping'er to tell uncle that grandma would also go back to Jinling this year."
Wang Xifeng is going to Jinling?
"What's she doing there?"
Ping'er said: "It's not because of the uncle and Miss Bao."
"Why are I related to Aunt Bao again?"
Ping'er pouted and said, "Who knows whether you two are related or not. I didn't believe you in the past, but from now on, I will also doubt you. Otherwise, what would the good girl Bao do in Jinling? Even if the Ningguo Mansion wants to build a kiln in Jinling, Wherever she needs to go, she can help."
"I haven't finished my horoscope yet. I only have this idea. I haven't decided to build a kiln in Jinling yet. I have to go to Yangzhou for business first and make time to return to the ancestral home of Jinling. Why is she following?" Brother Rong? He was confused and didn't know what Xue Baochai was thinking.
Ping'er said: "Who knows. If it's the agreement you made, let alone grandma, I won't worry either. Our courtyard has given us ten thousand taels of silver, so it's only natural for grandma to go to Jinling."
Justified and justified.
It's not like in modern society, how can a woman go out and run a business? Even Xue Baochai occasionally worked in the store in the name of Xue Pan, so what kind of affairs did Wang Xifeng care about.
Brother Rong said: "Uncle Pan should be in Jiangnan at the moment, Aunt Bao doesn't need to go there, and you don't need to go either way."
Ping'er smiled and said, "Master, let's talk to Miss Bao."
Forehead……
Whether they go to Jinling or not is a matter for the future. The most important thing tonight is when Xue Baochai will leave. Jia Rong doesn't want to go over and play cards. What fun is there in playing cards? Winning or losing a few bucks is not that interesting.
Brother Rong looked at the sky. The moon and stars were sparse. It was a rare good weather.
It shouldn't rain tonight.
Brother Rong smiled and said, "If Ping'er wants to answer a question, I will go over and play cards."
"What?"
"The uncle wants to give Ping'er an unforgettable night."
"Bah!" Ping'er imitated Wang Xifeng and said, the uncle made the wrong idea again. The alternation between hot and cold this morning was already unforgettable for her. What else are you thinking of doing?
Ping'er often follows Wang Xifeng, and rarely spends time alone with his uncle. But her face is getting redder and redder. How can a woman not want to sympathize with men who spend more time with her?
He lowered his head and followed the uncle downstairs. When they got outside, Uncle Rong took his little hand and led him into the woods in the garden.
Ping'er knew what was going to happen next, her face looked even more pretty under the moonlight, and she snuggled into the uncle's arms.
There is a month in the sky, a tree on the ground, and a pair of people under the tree.
