In the capital, Duke Rong's Mansion, Wang Xifeng, who had just served Jia Mu after breakfast, returned to her residence and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch. A ray of sunlight came in from the window and shone on her face as fair as a goat. The plump and beautiful face made her look like a fairy concubine.
After a while, I heard the maid at the door reporting.
"Second Grandma, Zhou Rui's family is here!"
Wang Xifeng did not get up, but lazily replied, "Let her come in!"
Soon, a woman who still retains her charm walked in. From her appearance, it was impossible to tell that she was almost fifty years old. Her face was thickly rouged and her flaming red lips gave away her true age. Covered.
Wang Xifeng was not polite when she saw this person, because she was Mrs. Wang's dowry, one of her own in her consciousness, and one of her confidants in managing this huge garden.
"Second Grandma, what are your orders?"
Zhou Rui's family is relatively tactful and adapts to the situation. Now Wang Xifeng manages all the affairs in the backyard of Xifu, so she never puts on any airs in front of the second mistress and is very well-behaved.
Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows, and under the two curved willow leaves hanging on his eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes revealed a hint of inquiry.
"At the banquet yesterday, I heard what the fourth girl was talking about, and I was quite interested in the new Miss Lin. After all, she is the old lady's direct granddaughter, so I have to wait for her!"
"It's just that this girl Xichun is very strict with her words. She never says where she heard it from. You can go check it out later and find out where this message came from and what the content is. Come back and report back to me!"
"But remember, you can't do this openly! If there is something wrong with this statement and it tarnishes the reputation of several ladies in the house, then we will do bad things with good intentions! Even if you are grandma, I want to spare you. , it’s hard to say whether the old lady will agree or not!”
"I know you have always kept your word. I don't trust others to handle this matter. Don't talk about it with my aunt. Most of the maids in the house have no way of talking about it. They won't be able to make trouble when the time comes. Where did the trap come from! I don’t know how I died!”
Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Zhou Ruijia's face paled slightly, knowing that this matter was really a hot potato, and just about to push the matter out, unexpectedly Wang Xifeng said again: "I only know you about this matter, it's done. Grandma, I will reward you greatly!"
The Zhou Rui family's face twitched, and they secretly thought that this matter could not be pushed back. People said that the mistress in charge of the house had a million tricks up her sleeve. She didn't believe it at first, but this time the stick hit her, and it hurt. She was so miserable that she couldn't tell.
Now that Wang Xifeng has said this, even if she really puts aside her old face to push the matter out and sends another person, if something happens, she will definitely be the target of Wang Xifeng's revenge, because in addition to this matter, He and another person who handles the matter know that only Wang Xifeng knows it. The person who handles the matter will definitely not tell it, and Wang Xifeng will not tell it. Once this matter spreads, it will really be a mess, no? Shit is also shit.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui's family showed a stiff smile and respectfully accepted the order, "Grandma, don't worry, I will check this matter myself!"
Hearing Zhou Ruijia's words, Wang Xifeng sat up and finally smiled. She replied with a smile: "This relationship is good. We all know it in the house. You are smart and never make mistakes. You personally took action in this matter and you can catch it easily!" Son, go get fifty taels of silver and give it to Zhou Rui's family, it's considered as labor reward. If this is done, grandma, I will still reward you!"
Seeing that there was money, the Zhou Rui family's expressions softened and they quickly thanked them.
"Thank you grandma for the reward!"
After Zhou Rui's family took the money, Wang Xifeng let her go down.
Looking at the Zhou Rui family leaving, Ping'er was a little puzzled. This matter is not difficult to say. Why did Wang Xifeng fall in love with the Zhou Rui family alone? Could it be that he couldn't do it with the Wang family? That was Lian Er. My confidants are not like those in Zhou Rui's family who also involve Mrs. Wang.
"Grandma, wouldn't it be more..."
Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er and smiled.
"What do you know, you little kid? Although those who come to the Wang family are more loyal, the people who come to the Wang family can't handle this matter. The Zhou Rui family is a good person, and they do everything well. Even if people know about it, they will not be able to do it." If you can cover it up, the person who came to Wang's house is a stupid person, and if you can't protect everything, grandma will be stabbed!"
Ping'er glanced at her sideways and started arguing with her, "Yes! I think you are the most versatile person in the house! We are all stupid!"
Wang Xifeng's face showed a smile, "I love hearing this, little hoof, why don't you say a few more words!"
...
Zhou Rui's family is really impeccable in everything they do. It didn't take half a day to get some useful news from Dongfu. When Xichun lived in Dongfu, he never left the house. He loved running around the garden and every time. I would always go to the small courtyards in Xikuayuan, where some peach trees are planted. This season, it is the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
He has never left the house, which means that these stories are not transmitted from outside, and the scope has suddenly shrunk a lot.
In addition, the rules of the house did not allow the girls to read those obscene words and songs, so she guessed that she did not read these things from books, but heard them from others.
Knowing that talking too much will lead to mistakes, Zhou Rui's family just stopped talking, threw down two taels of silver and bought wine and food with the mother-in-law who told her before, and wandered around the garden of Dongfu alone.
Of course, she didn't go straight to her destination, but wandered around aimlessly for a long time before she seemed to have accidentally walked to the Southwest Crossing. Afterwards, she inquired without leaving a trace, and then she found out that Xichun often brought A little maid came here to play, but she mostly stayed in the yard and left.
Hearing this, Zhou Rui's family couldn't help but be disappointed for a moment, but in the end she still asked without giving up.
"Isn't there a storyteller around here?"
The mother-in-law heard it strange, telling a story, what was it, but after thinking about it, she still replied, after all, Zhou Rui's family's identity is so high, they can't afford to offend them, "I don't know whether to tell stories or not, people around here There are several courtyards, that is, that family is good at writing. The aunt seems to have been born as a young lady. Finally, her family was in trouble and she came to the mansion. When she moved here, most of the luggage in the few boxes were books! "
Hearing this, Zhou Ruijia's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that this was the person who was talking.
But before she could be happy, she heard the mother-in-law continue: "But it's a pity that he left a few years ago, leaving only a little baby. This kid is very wild. He doesn't stay in the house all the time. He often As soon as I turned around, the person was gone!”
The Zhou Rui family, who thought they had finally found their target, couldn't help but feel a little ups and downs. If the aunt had not died, she still had some hope, but a doll could tell stories? ? I'm afraid it's a fantasy.
But now that they had found this place, the Zhou Rui family walked toward the small courtyard full of peach blossoms, thinking that they would rather make a mistake than miss it.
