Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Jia Zhen expected that You Shi would say something, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only secretly wish Keqing not to reveal her fault.

　　"That being the case, I'll deal with the matter here first, and I'll watch the show with you."

　　Keqing glanced at Jia Zhen with beautiful eyes, and there were many sorrows among the thousands of styles.

　　Jia Zhen's expression changed, giving her a hint of peace of mind, but Ke Qing just frowned and helped You out.

　　When they were all gone, Jia Zhen pushed him out, called Timur, and said after deliberation: "You and Ruizhu have been seen sending letters, so you must be more secretive in the future." Timur replied, "Little one. We have already negotiated with Miss Ruizhu, and every time we have a fair and honest reason, we will never let people suspect the master."

　　Jia Zhen nodded and patted Timur's shoulder, "Thank you for the hardship."

　　Timur asked: "Master, this time will not..."

　　Jia Zhen waved her hand and said, "It's what this kid Laishun caused. Although there is no evidence at all, it really surprised me."

　　Timur hesitated for a while and persuaded: "Master, this is not a good thing after all, in case it is revealed... or you..."

　　Jia Zhen said: "You are an honest person, I know what you want to say. I have my own plans, sir." The words were full of confidence, but in fact, what I thought was that I have gone too far, and I can't look back.

　　So Timur stopped talking, and silently backed out.

　　On the second day, several things happened in Ning Guofu.

　　The first one, the girl in front of Grandma Rong, Baozhu, pointed to the master's long attendant, Laishun, and was sent out of the city.

　　Second, because of her old age and missing her relatives in the south, Mama Rong in the wife's courtyard took the initiative to resign as a deacon and asked to go to Jinling to guard the house.There is nothing wrong with the old lady.

　　The third one is that Mrs. Gu and Qian Deng’s family made mistakes because of drinking and gathered a crowd to gamble, so they were exempted from deacons and reduced to third-class servants to see the aftermath.

　　There is also a small matter. I heard that Zhu Er's wife and Laixi's wife were ineffective in their work, and they were called by their wife and reprimanded severely.

　　Two days later, the situation was still calm, and the two parties secretly breathed a sigh of relief.In this way, the original rumor that might trigger the earthquake in Ningfu disappeared without a trace before it could spread.There is a lesson from the past, and no one will dare to chew nonsense in the future, which is a blessing in disguise.

　　But neither of them took the opportunity to cut off this unethical relationship that should not have been there.Jia Zhen even had the idea of ​​building a secret path.

　　His eyes lit up, what a great idea!Only in this way can we do things without knowing it, under the eyes of the gods.Jia Zhen's heart was hot, and gradually the idea of ​​building a garden came into being. She even prepared a name, it was called Daguan Garden!As for the name of the West Mansion in the future, that's none of Jia Zhen's business.

　　The Ning Mansion was as usual here, which made someone in the West Mansion unable to sit still.

　　Inside Baoxia Nuan Pavilion, Sister Feng frowned and said, "Please let Lai Er's family stay calm for the past few days, and don't go out."

　　Wang'er stepped forward and said with a chuckle, "Grandma, don't worry! The little ones have already been arranged according to your instructions, and nothing will happen. Besides, can he come over to get people from the east?"

　　Sister Feng was displeased and said, "Watch me carefully, if something happens, I will peel you off!"

　　Wang'er didn't dare to talk too much, so she had to retreat.

Chapter [-] The transformation of the phoenix girl

　　Since the last turmoil, Jia Zhen and Keqing have deliberately reduced the time to meet, and even stopped their private rendezvous, only to wait until this turmoil is over.

　　Jia Zhen instructed Timur and the others to keep their eyes on the West House, but the Lai Er family disappeared as if they had disappeared.This made Jia Zhen more and more sure of the thoughts in her heart.Just as Jia Zhen was thinking, she happened to see Ruizhu just looking this way, as if something happened.Jia Zhen frowned slightly, didn't she mean that she was gone for the time being?He was unhappy, but he moved forward in a hurry.

　　He deliberately said to Ruizhu: "Tell your grandma, Uncle Feng's family has received a sum of [-] taels of silver in the past two days. Let her follow the old rules and put part of it into a special account." The special account is a secret account. People are particularly insecure, for fear that they will follow the old road in Dream of Red Mansions in the future, and their homes will be searched and exiled, so they will prepare some money early in the morning.If there is such a day, a family like him can still rely on him, and he will not be displaced and leave a white and clean place.

　　Jia Zhen has her hands behind her back, and the old man is full of style.Na Ruizhu lowered her brows and pleaded with her eyes, and quietly shoved Jia Zhen a ball of paper while no one was paying attention.Jia Zhen picked it up quickly, her heart beating violently.He coughed lightly to cover up, "Go!" Ruizhu still didn't look up, and when she passed by Jia Zhen, she whispered, "Master, grandma has been thinking about tea and rice for a while now, and seeing that she is losing weight, it's not a solution."

　　Jia Zhen said softly, "Your grandma is very thoughtful and thinks too much. Tell her to relax, everything is up to me, and a little storm can't overturn the big boat!" Ruizhu was a well-behaved, and left without saying a word.

　　Jia Zhen hid in the outer study, and Qingwen, the girl, didn't know where to go.He opened the paper ball, and there was only one line of delicate and delicate characters on it: "Feng girl told Rong brother about the matter, and I have covered it up."

　　"Girl Feng?" Jia Zhen immediately shredded the ball of paper, "It really is her fault!" He rushed into the West Mansion immediately, grabbing the long-tongued woman and slapped it hard, but unfortunately, this can only be imagined.Not to mention that she is a ruthless person, and she is deeply favored by the old lady over there. Even in the face of her uncle Prince Teng, she can't go too far.

　　Maybe she had already seen what Jia Zhen couldn't do to her, so she was unscrupulous.

　　Jia Zhen circled around in the study, unsure of what to do.

　　Third Sister You happened to bump in.She screamed and pulled Jia Zhen's sleeve, "Brother-in-law, Sister Keren sent me to ask you, can you hire more servants?" Jia Zhen stopped and wondered, "Go find Brother Rong's daughter-in-law and his wife. It's enough for Mr. Jiao. Besides, why didn't you come by yourself, but sent you here instead?"

　　The third sister said with a smile: "Keiren is busy! She often goes to various shops to monitor her. If she is bumped by some unsightly bad boys, wouldn't it be a big loss to your first-class general of Ning Guofu?"

　　When Jia Zhen heard this, she didn't think about anything else, and replied casually, "She can discuss this matter with Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, and let Mr. Jiao take care of it. There are many secrets in the mansion now, and it should not be ignored! With these, we can make money every day."

　　The third sister nodded and said, "I know, just now I heard the eldest sister and brother Rong's daughter-in-law discussing setting aside a room or two in Tianxianglou as a warehouse. Brother-in-law, don't you know? The people over there are looking at us. All day long after moving money home, everyone's eyes are green!"

　　Jia Zhen thought for a while, then asked with a smile, "Is this really what they are?"

　　"That's natural!" The third sister sat on the top seat next to her, with one leg cocked, revealing her small red embroidered shoes. "Brother-in-law, do you think my new shoes are beautiful? They were given to me by Sister Keren!"

　　Jia Zhen glanced at the red lotus flower on the shoe, and frowned, "It's better for a girl to be dignified! Be careful your sister hits you!"

　　The third sister wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and muttered, "Didn't I show you, it's not like this usually."

　　Jia Zhen felt that what she said just now was too heavy, and smiled again: "Even if you want to see it, you can only show it to me."

　　A red cloud appeared on Sanjie's face, "Bah, I won't show you!" She covered her shoes with a skirt, ran to the door, spit again, and left like a butterfly wearing a flower.

　　After the interruption from the third sister, Jia Zhen's original anger has been dissipated by seven or eight points.But things can't be left like this, he said to himself: "I, Jia Zhen, are not made of mud!" As soon as he spoke, he was about to go west.

　　Jia Zhen hasn't been to the Rong Mansion for a long time, and now she has come to find fault, and she has to find a suitable reason.There is no need to think about it deliberately. Jia Zhen asked the servant to carry a Weng fruit wine, which was blended with glycerin and filtered, and Shi Shiran entered the East Corner Gate of Rong Mansion.As usual, I went to the old lady's yard to ask for An, and I supported Jia She and Jia Zheng. They must have disappeared.Only then did the girl tell the inside, Jia Zhen bypassed the Rongxi Hall, and passed the corner gate next to Madam Wang's courtyard, which was a wide road from north to south.To the south are three small holding halls, and to the north stands a large shadow wall of powder oil.He turned around the shadow wall, and there was half the door behind him. A little girl was stunned for a while, and then ran back in a hurry, shouting, "Master Zhen Dongbian is here!"

　　Sister Feng's yard is not large, with only three small rooms.When Sister Feng heard the sound, she came out to greet her, with a smile on her face and cronyism.She smiled and said, "Oh, the sun is coming out from the west today. Big brother is coming to the poor house. I should have sent someone to let me know earlier. I want to pave the road with loess and sprinkle water to clean the street!"

　　Jia Zhen pointed at her and said with a smile: "Your mouth is unforgiving. Don't blame me for always picking up on brother Lian's absence. Just come here."

　　Sister Feng's face suffocated, and she also smiled: "He doesn't stay home all day, and he doesn't know what the eldest master has sent him to do, so he doesn't bother to care about our mothers! Big brother, please come in!"

　　Jia Zhen confessed the crime and went in.Sister Feng sat on the kang under the south window, while Jia Zhen sat on the opposite chair.Ping'er came up and poured tea.Jia Zhen picked up the tea cup, looked at Ping'er's good manners and good looks, and jokingly said, "Miss Ping is getting more and more pretty!"

　　Unexpectedly, Ping'er's face turned black.Only then did Jia Zhen remember her own reputation, and she spoke so frivolously, no wonder she thought too much.So, Jia Zhen hurriedly stood up and apologized: "But I made a blunder, don't take it to heart, Miss Ping."

　　Ping'er's face became better, but she didn't speak, she gave Sister Feng a cup of tea and left.

　　Jia Zhen was embarrassed.On weekdays, you and the others are used to it casually, and once I got here, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and I made a compliment into a molestation.Fortunately, Jia Lian was not here, otherwise it would have been possible to slap the table and turn his face.

　　Sister Feng smiled and said: "This little hoof is like this. Sometimes I even show my face. I'll make my big brother laugh. I'll let her apologize to you tomorrow!"

　　Jia Zhen waved her hands again and again, secretly scolding herself for being rude, and before she could get down to business, she lost her momentum.

　　Sister Feng was blowing the tea foam calmly. Jia Zhen saw that her wrists and neck were white and greasy. She had a slender stature and a coquettish physique, and she couldn't help but relapse.He hurriedly lowered his head and took two sips of tea, thinking about how to speak.

　　The house became quiet.The eldest uncle entered the room of his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law alone. After a long time, it was inevitable that there would be bad rumors.Both felt embarrassed.

　　In the end, Sister Feng couldn't help but ask first, "Big brother came to me today, must he have something important to do?"

　　Jia Zhen thought for a while and said, "The eldest sister is joking. I haven't been here for a long time, so I greeted the old lady and the two ladies and went to the eldest sister to take a look."

　　Sister Feng laughed and said, "I don't know that big brother, you are busy with many things. After all, do you have any problems for me to solve for you?"

　　Jia Zhen put down the tea cup and sighed: "A few days ago, my house caught a few people who were chewing their tongues. They beat and scolded them, and they just sent them out to be quiet." Sister Feng There was a stern look in his eyes, but he said in his mouth: "Big brother, it's not my sister who said you, and these talkative people should be severely punished, beaten to death and sold, what a big deal?"

　　Jia Zhen was shocked by Sister Feng's ruthlessness and didn't know how to answer for a while.He shook his head and said, "This is too much, just a small punishment and a big admonition." Sister Feng was a little unsure of Jia Zhen's intentions. Did she know something and came here to find fault?

　　She frowned slightly, "The big brother is still kind-hearted. If it were me, I would definitely not forgive him."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Sister Feng and said, "It's not that I have a good heart, it's just that being kind to others is to be kind to oneself. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone should be fine."

　　Sister Feng heard the taste, and said with a wide-eyed smile: "Big brother, this is interesting. I think it's better not to make mistakes!"

　　Jia Zhen nodded and said, "It's the same principle. Let's just hope we don't make mistakes."

　　Sister Feng thought to herself that it was Brother Rong's daughter-in-law who told Brother Zhen that Brother Zhen had come to Xing Shi to ask for his guilt.She sneered: "Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly? We have also grown up since we were young and know the bottom line."

　　Jia Zhen pondered for a while, then sighed: "In this mansion, I am only the closest to my eldest sister, and even Brother Lian has also retreated. Logically, there is nothing incompatible between us. It is also because the eldest sister speaks kind words in front of the old ladies and wives, saving a lot of lessons, my brother is here to thank the eldest sister." Speaking of this, Sister Feng's eyes softened, "It's all a family, what are you talking about? It's just estranged."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "The eldest sister knows me the most. There is no one to control me at home, so I am used to it. Or there are some shortcomings, which makes the eldest sister laugh."

　　Sister Feng's eyebrows are high and full of pride. "Big brother has humbled himself, and now Ning Guofu is very impressive, isn't it all the credit of big brother?"

　　Jia Zhen's heart tightened, she took a deep breath, and pretended to be relaxed: "A little bit of business is a last resort. You can't just sit back and let your descendants go to the streets to beg, right?"

　　Sister Feng lazily took a pillow and put it on her back, smiled and looked at Jia Zhen, but said nothing.

　　Jia Zhen also raised Erlang's legs and asked, "How is the shop on Suzaku Street, how is the eldest sister doing?"

　　Sister Feng gave a "hmm" and lay down in a different position. "It's okay, it's only a few thousand taels a year."

　　Jia Zhen's heart trembled when she heard it, she suppressed her anger that was almost gushing out, and repeatedly warned herself that it was because of Wang Ziteng's face that she didn't have the same knowledge as her.

　　Sister Feng didn't hear Jia Zhen's words for a long time, and simply said: "Does big brother have any extra stores? Sister, can I help you?"

　　Jia Zhen pondered for a while, and her mind was settled.He smiled and said, "The shop is easy to say, who told us that we are a family? But there is one thing I need to ask the eldest sister."

　　"What's the matter?" Sister Feng was a little unhappy.

　　Jia Zhen said: "Lai's family has embarrassed me several times, and this time I have colluded with people in my house. It's really hateful! I have the intention to give her some color, but it is always inconvenient to get in the way of the old lady. Sister's means, can you borrow your hand to save face for me?"

　　When Sister Feng heard it, she sneered: "What do I think it is, then Lai Erjia is really unpleasant, but if you want to take her, there must be a suitable reason. Besides, you also said, it's a big trouble, the old lady There's no way to get past it."

　　Jia Zhen was furious, and the word "greed" was clearly written on Sister Feng's normally delicate face.

　　"There is a big sister Lao!"

　　Sister Feng smiled, called Ping'er in, and asked her a few trivial things.Several more maids and old ladies came to report the incident, and Sister Feng dealt with them one by one.

　　Jia Zhen was left to dry aside, and the tea in the tea cup was gone.

　　Seeing the plane, Ping'er came up and persuaded: "Uncle Zhen, the second grandmother is afraid that she will not be free now, why don't you go and see the fourth girl first?"

　　Jia Zhen's expression turned cold, she stood up and left without saying a word.When he was about to leave, he looked back inside, snorted coldly, and strode away.

　　In the end, he still underestimated Sister Feng, thinking that as long as he was willing to give up some things outside his body, he would always get along with her in harmony.

　　Ping'er thought for a moment, then turned and walked to Sister Feng's side. Seeing that she had finished taking care of the affairs at hand, she stepped forward to pack her things and said with a smile, "Grandma, when Uncle Zhen left just now, his face was very ugly."

　　Sister Feng snorted coldly: "Let him go, he will come back to find me! By then, he will not be able to help him!"

　　Ping'er carefully persuaded: "In my opinion, Uncle Zhen may not be as grandma intended this time."

　　Sister Feng asked with a smile: "What do you know?"

　　Ping'er said: "Although I didn't know what grandma told him just now, I could hear that Uncle Zhen asked for grandma and was willing to give grandma some favors, just asking grandma to deal with Lai Er's family."

　　Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, "Not to mention a single one, I can take four or five of your grandmothers. It's just that he has the handle in my hands now, so how could he let it go so easily? "

　　Ping'er sat on the chair, thought for a while, and said, "I don't have much knowledge, but I think that Mr. Zhen has not been waiting for us to see us since the matter of the first master. There are always grandma You and grandma Xiaorong. , and now they are not here. A few days ago, I heard that there were servants over there who were in private contact with us, and I was reprimanded and sent away. This is clearly not a family's practice. Now, Uncle Zhen has just been promoted. , he took up a real job again, and the industries everywhere are becoming more and more prosperous, no matter what grandma holds him, she should attract him as a foreign aid, rather than push him to resent him."

　　After listening to Ping'er's words, Sister Feng thought that she had no real evidence after all, and she regretted doing too much.She changed her face and smiled and said, "I haven't thought of this yet." Ping'er added, "I just advised Uncle Zhen to go to Siguniang's place. The original intention was to let him stop for a while, but now that I think about it, I can't let him pick up Siguniang. The girl goes back. I'm afraid that the fourth girl will not come back when she goes back. Our two houses will really become strangers."

　　Only then did Sister Feng lose her voice: "Ping'er, hurry up, you must tell Uncle Zhen to come back."

　　The words are divided into two parts. Jia Zhen is full of fire at Sister Feng's place. Seeing that there is no scenery in the West Mansion, there is no good person!

　　Except for his sister, Xichun.

　　Jia Zhen came out from Sister Feng, and to the south of the shadow wall was the Baosha where Xichun, Yingchun and Tanchun lived.Jia Zhen walked inside without raising her head, and bumped into Xichun who just came out.
