Rongguo Gongfu, Rongqing Hall.
"Yuanyang, what's the noise outside?"
A little girl with slender shoulders, an oval face, black hair, a high nose, and a few freckles on both sides of her cheeks walked in.
"Old lady~"
"Yuanyang, what's going on outside??"
Yuanyang folded his hands on his waist and gave a blessing.
Her eyes were a little dodgey, and then she said helplessly: "Reporting to the old lady, it was Second Mistress who heard that Second Master Bao was just seeking death and seeking a new life, so she asked Caixia to come over and ask questions. She wanted to find out what was going on??"
Yuanyang knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he could only tell the truth.
When Jia Mu heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
Then Jia Mu asked nervously: "What?? Something happened to Baoyu??"
Yuanyang hadn't heard any movement before, so she didn't know about her son at this moment, but she was thinking that Wang Xifeng didn't come over to report the matter specifically, knowing that it shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu again What kind of hysteria did you commit, what nonsense did you say!
If there was really something important, she would have come over to talk about it by now. After all, Sister Feng is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things.
So Yuanyang said: "Old lady, don't worry now. It may be that the servants are spreading rumors. Before, Second Mistress Lian could just follow you over there! If something really happens to Second Master Bao, she can't come over to talk to you. Report??”
"Besides, not only Grandma Lian is here, but Grandma Zhu is also here. I guess she saw Miss Lin and said some stupid things! Miss Lin's current situation is like that. If word gets out, I'm afraid it will The Marquis is displeased, so I guess that’s why Second Mistress Lian didn’t let anyone spread the news!”
When Jia Mu heard Yuanyang's words, she thought to herself, that's right. Sister Feng can rest assured when doing things. Usually there are few mistakes, and there are so many people around. If something big happens to Jia Baoyu, she will You should have known this a long time ago.
But now there is no news on her side about this matter. The situation is probably like what Yuanyang said. Sister Feng should be afraid that the noise will be spread out and it will really reach Jia Qi's ears. , it may not be a good thing for the two governments.
This matter should not be made public, it is better to turn it into a big deal and turn it into a trivial matter.
As for the quality of the second son's house, she knew it well. She was indeed concerned about Baoyu and had calculations, but her vision was too shallow and she could only see a little of the back house and didn't understand the power of it.
She ordered Yuanyang and said: "Let Caixia go back first and tell her that I have the final say on this matter. Also, go and call Sister Feng over and tell her that I have something to ask her!!"
Yuanyang said "Hey", turned around and left.
On the other side, after Zhou Rui's family left Mrs. Wang's garden, they went directly to Dongfu to chat with Lai Er's family and the women in Dongfu.
Caixia didn't stop after receiving Yuanyang's letter. She knew that most of her mission had been accomplished, and Mrs. Wang wouldn't be blamed if she returned now, so she left straight away.
Yuanyang looked at Caixia's leaving figure and shook her head in her heart. Mrs. Wang shouldn't be like this.
However, she was just the maidservant around Jia Mu and could not do anything about the actions of her masters. In fact, after being with Jia Mu for so many years, she had learned a lot, seen a lot, and had her own views on things.
It's like an eldest lady, who is stupid by nature and only knows how to cater to the eldest boss. Maybe she comes from a small family. She is also petty in everything she does. Once the money is in her hands, she will be extremely embezzled and greedy for wealth. She has children and slaves and no one to rely on. , not listening to a word is extremely unpopular.
As for Mrs. Wang, she knew that the other party was scheming, and it was really unlike her to take action this time.
As for the reason behind this matter, she didn't want to delve into it.
Then Yuanyang said a few words to the little maids nearby, asking them to keep their mouths shut and not to talk without permission, and then hurried to Sister Feng's yard again.
"Hey you!! What kind of wind has brought Sister Yuanyang here!!"
Seeing the mandarin duck coming, Sister Feng's heart moved. The maid next to Jia Mu was a very busy person, and she would not come to her place. She would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
As Sister Feng spoke, Ping'er also came forward to greet her.
She and Yuanyang were in the same batch of people who entered the Jia family. She, Qingwen, Xiren and others were all the eldest maids of the Jia family. They were the closest group of people in the camp. If they were related, Xiren, Yuanyang, Ping'er, etc. Much closer than Sister Feng and the others.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"How come you have time to come to our place instead of waiting for me at the old lady's side!!"
Yuanyang patted the back of Ping'er's hand and gave Sister Feng a white look with a smile.
"Still saying that!! Madam didn't know where she heard that Second Master Bao was seeking death and livelihood again, so she sent Caixia to the old lady to inquire about the news. But we have never heard of this matter. The old lady heard this I'm worried about this matter! I want to hold someone accountable!!"
"Let me put it bluntly, the situation that Second Master Bao is in today is probably related to Miss Lin, and Second Grandma Lian deliberately suppressed the matter!!"
Hearing Yuanyang's words, Sister Feng and Ping'er looked at each other with a hint of understanding in their eyes, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Feng hurried over, grabbed Yuanyang's arm and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "Our sister Yuanyang is still unparalleled in eloquence and has a sharp eye for pearls!!"
Yuanyang rolled her eyes angrily, "My Second Grandma Lian, after this matter is over, you should go and talk to the old lady~~"
Hearing Yuanyang's words, Wang Xifeng laughed along with her and winked at Ping'er. In fact, she had never wanted to tell her mother Jia about this matter, not even her aunt.
The people involved are not easy to deal with. A fourth girl cannot be beaten or scolded. Like a living Bodhisattva, she can only serve. Lin Daiyu is the only daughter of the Minister of Etiquette and the unmarried wife of the Champion Hou. In this way If the tidbits spread out, you will make yourself uncomfortable!
"Yuanyang, actually there is a reason why the Second Mistress didn't tell the old lady about this!!"
After seeing Sister Feng's eyes, Ping'er helplessly answered.
Then Sister Feng continued: "Sister Yuanyang, actually this is what happened..."
Then Sister Feng recounted what happened before. The more Yuanyang listened, the more her brows furrowed. By the end, her pair of pancreas were clenched and sweating.
She also began to smile bitterly in her heart. She was not stupid and naturally understood the pros and cons. Fortunately, this matter was not exposed. If it were exposed, wouldn't it be a big deal?
"Second Grandma, I think it's getting late. I have to go to the old lady's place to serve you soon. Why don't you go talk to the old lady about this in person!! In case I don't give you a good word by then, Then I will be misunderstood by the old lady and the second wife!"
"But according to my point of view, the Second Mistress did nothing wrong in this matter. If this matter really spreads, I'm afraid our house will be lively. Even the fourth girl, since that cold weather, I have also I feel like my whole person has changed a lot, especially this time..."
Hearing Yuanyang's words, Sister Feng and Heping'er also shook their heads helplessly. On the matter of Xichun, they were helpless. Xichun was no better than Yingchun and Tanchun. Even these two girls were not easy to move. Before a girl gets married, she is very valuable.
Coupled with Xichun's special nature, they didn't dare to make any plans even if they wanted to. After all, there was someone standing behind her.
"Okay!! Then Sister Yuanyang will help me say something nice!!"
Sister Feng also knew that it was better for her to tell the matter in person, so she no longer asked Yuanyang to be the messenger.
The snow outside the window was falling harder and harder, and soon, the ground was covered with a thick layer. In a side room of the East Mansion, several women were drinking rice wine and making fists, which was very lively.
At this moment, a woman said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhou, the one you are talking about in the painting, she has an uncle who also works in the house. In recent years, because of the fourth girl, the little hoof in the painting is very popular. She has such a full face that she doesn’t even look down on us old people!!”
"That uncle of hers is even more lazy. He eats, drinks, goes whoring, and gambles. He does everything. He often uses the name of our Duke's palace to get away with nothing. It's disgusting~~"
After hearing what this old lady said, another old lady answered and said: "Yes, yes, that little girl is so arrogant. What kind of girl is she? She also gave us the money of the master. If it weren't for the sake of the fourth girl, In terms of face, how can we coddle her!!"
"Actually, the fourth girl is nothing special. Isn't it just that she met a good brother??"
Perhaps she drank too much, and with a bit of drunkenness, the woman vented all the envy, jealousy, hatred and jealousy that she had accumulated in her belly on weekdays, and became arrogant.
However, not everyone had the same mentality as this unknown mother-in-law. Many people were immediately broken into cold sweats and most of them were so drunk that they woke up from the shock.
One of the older women said anxiously: "Silence! Everyone, Fang, are you stupid because of the yellow soup??? You can talk about that person too!! Do you think your head is better than the heads of those adults in the capital?" Is it still expensive? You have forgotten that person from Jingxi Street years ago!!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room felt like a gust of cold wind, freezing to the bone.
Everyone was blown away, and even Zhou Rui's family couldn't help but shudder, secretly saying that it was not Jia Qi she wanted to deal with these crazy women.
Now that she had heard the news, she did not plan to stay here for a long time, so she stood up and said: "Don't be nervous, it's just a drunken joke, but you must never say this in front of others in the future. Miss Xichun is not only Dongfu's The eldest lady is also a girl in the house, and the old lady is one of the best!"
"Yes~Yes~~~"
