I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 10
The two talked for a while, and then Mrs. Wang got up and left.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and spat out all the melon seed rinds in her mouth into the mouthwash bowl. She wiped the corners of her lips and sneered: "You're the kind of person who can't even have a biological child out of your body." , you still expect to have another son or two? What a beautiful idea!"

Having said that, I am worried after all.The aunt's intention was unclear, but she also knew that now that the elder could recognize this bastard from the outside, there was no guarantee that he would recognize another bastard again.

Who knows if this girl is asking for directions?
If that's the case, we can't let this first one happen.Otherwise, over and over again, who knows how much trouble will be caused.

Ping'er brought a plate of fruit into the house and said, "Grandma, try this fruit. It's very sweet."

Wang Xifeng said: "The second wife told me about the little sister Lao Shizi. I don't know where the bastard came from. How come the master is so doting on her? She has to be included in the family tree and recorded in the name of the stepmother." . Not only did it make people look down upon me, but it also brought disgrace to our entire house.”

Ping'er smiled, put the things in his hands on the table, sat on a low stool and beat Wang Xifeng's legs: "Grandma, there is no need to be angry. The fifth girl is not very old, so she will be raised slowly from now on, and she will be close to grandma."

"But after all, she is the legitimate daughter, and she will most likely have to empty out the family when she leaves the palace." Wang Xifeng sighed softly: "Seeing how much the master loves me, I will have to stuff the dowry thickly. And That step-sibling usually picks up half a copper plate without leaking it, and I don’t know how many good things he has hidden.”

Ping'er knew that the Xing family's financial resources were very poor, and the eldest wife had probably saved money to support her parents' family, so she would not leave it to Jia Lian, the child born to the previous wife.

She was about to persuade her again, but she heard Wang Xifeng say: "You can find an excuse later to call the fifth girl. I want to talk to her."

Jia He didn't expect that such a good thing, which would fall from the sky without any thought, would actually happen to him.

Just when I was thinking about how to go to Wang Xifeng, an opportunity came to me.

But she is stupid, not to mention that the investigation needs to be kept low-key.No matter how happy she was, she had to pretend to be ignorant at this time: "Sister Ping'er, do you know what Sister-in-law Lian wants from me?" Her long eyelashes flickered, revealing full innocence and innocence.

Ping'er's heart softened when she saw such a tiny child.He wanted to reach out and touch her head, but felt that this was inappropriate for the master, so he could only smile and said: "How did I know? I think it was just that the second mistress wanted to talk to the girl and chat casually."

After yesterday's overt and covert words and actions, Jia He felt deeply that his second sister-in-law was no ordinary person. However, Ping'er looked at her and smiled and said, "Please help me, sister Ping'er, to lead the way. I don't know what Lian's second sister-in-law is." Where is my residence? You have to take me there."

Ping'er asked curiously: "Didn't you help carry things there last night? Why don't you know the way?"

Jia He had already expected that with a person like Wang Xifeng and his methods, if he heard that something was sent by a strange face, even if the stranger was a child, he would have to question him carefully.

Now when she heard what Ping'er said, it was all what she expected. She smiled naively: "Yesterday, a maid asked me to help carry it over. I heard that it was my sister-in-law, so I naturally agreed. But when I asked along the way, it was dark again. I don’t remember how to leave anymore.”

Ping'er sighed and nodded, and finally couldn't help stroking her soft hair: "Don't be anxious, girl, I'm here. I'll be with you later."

At this moment, Jia He was going to have dinner with Lin Daiyu at Jia Mu's place. Ping'er suddenly came over to call her, and then he left Lin Daiyu alone to say a few words.The two girls were having a good time together just now, but when they called someone away midway, they had to inform Lin Daiyu of everything.Although Lin Daiyu didn't know the specific situation of Jia's house, she couldn't help but worry about Jia He after thinking about all the things she saw yesterday. She took her hand and said to Ping'er: "You want to accompany her, but you should tell your master that we can talk to each other." I've just finished half of what I said, so I can't interrupt you. What do you think?"

Jia He knew her good intentions, but didn't want her to get involved in the mess in the big room. He took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "Good sister, just wait for me at my grandmother's place. My sister-in-law wants to say a few words to me." , It’s not a big deal. Besides, didn’t we agree to pick plum blossoms? If I don’t have time to go there, I’ll ask Sister Ping’er to go find you to beg for plum blossoms.”

After saying that, she quietly winked at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu immediately understood what she meant. If she couldn't get away, she would think of ways to ask someone to come and beg for plum blossoms, and then go to Wang Xifeng to ask for someone.

Lin Daiyu nodded solemnly: "I don't care. Just be stubborn." She also secretly winked at her.

Jia He was very happy.

The two of them tightened their hands and left.

The scarlet felt curtain is opened, and the sweet and warm smell of incense hits your face.Jia He walked into the house with his sleeves up and looked up to see Wang Xifeng checking the account books on the kang by the window.

The way she checked the account books was different from Mrs. Xing's.Mrs. Xing wrote it down in her own notation for easy reference later, while Wang Xifeng asked someone who could read to read it.Sometimes when the person mentioned a number, she would interrupt and say, "I'm wrong, there's an extra three hundred dollars here." She would ask the person to change it before he could continue reading.

After Jia He entered the house, Guo's mother tried her best to signal her to salute her sister-in-law.She pretended not to hear and looked around curiously.

This room looks much more magnificent during the day than at night.The shelves were filled with antique ornaments, and the embroidery threads on the kang and the brocade were all made of gold. In addition, the head was full of pearls, and the sun shone in from the window, making people's eyes shine brightly with gold.

Seeing that the silly girl couldn't notice the indifference of others to her, and even looked around without caring about the image of her daughter's house, Wang Xifeng sighed secretly and raised a smile: "Hey, when did my sister come? Why don't you talk to me? Say something." He said angrily to Ping'er again: "You didn't even mention the girl is here, but you made me a bad person."

"Sister-in-law Lian is wrong." Jia Huo looked at her seriously: "Sister Ping'er just whispered to you after entering the house. You still looked at me after hearing this. How could you say that? Didn't notice me. Could it be that Second Sister-in-law Lian was dazzled by the account and couldn't see clearly."

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she almost fell down.

Talking to fools is a hassle!
I can’t tell the difference between good and bad!Let’s talk!
Moreover, she was clearly listening to the account book rather than reading it. If she hadn't known that this child was stupid, she would have thought he was deliberately mocking her!

Wang Xifeng tightened the red felt strip beside her, smiled and asked Ping'er to bring the large golden satin satin mattress for Jia He to sit on.

Jia He sat down unceremoniously and moved his small body to make himself more comfortable. Then he asked with a smile: "I wonder why the second sister-in-law Lian called me here?"
