Chapter 1452 Xin Zijuan’s plan
The news brought back by Ping'er finally made Wang Xifeng feel better, but she was still worried about Feng Ziying's "negligence".
"Is he really that busy?" Wang Xifeng was quite doubtful, "Did he panic when he heard about this?"
"Grandma, it's not that serious. Uncle Feng and others have said it before. After this slave went to talk about it, he was just surprised and then overjoyed. Now he is probably thinking about where we will move, and he also asked I asked you if there is any house that I am optimistic about, and I said that I have not chosen it yet."
Ping'er also knew that her grandmother was always suspicious, and now that she was pregnant, her mood was changing, so she didn't dare to use other words to stimulate her, and could only comfort her with gentle words.
"Humph, he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the house. I will find the right one myself." Wang Xifeng raised her head a little arrogantly, "Ping'er, we have chosen those places a few days ago. In the past few days, we have Then we finalized it, it will be June soon, and we will move out in June.”
Wang Xifeng looked around with emotion, feeling a little sad and reluctant. She had lived in this courtyard for ten years and now she had to leave in such a way. It was really sad and unwilling, but what happened now? We can only face it.
"I think things about the house are simple, but grandma needs to consider the follow-up matters, and the people in our yard after we move out." Ping'er paused hesitantly, "I'm afraid grandma won't be healthy for two or three months. After that, we couldn’t hide it anymore. In our yard, Feng’er and Sister Shan came from the Wang family, so it wasn’t a big problem. Wang Xin and Wang’er had no problem either, but Zhu’er and Xiaohong,…”
Wang Xin and Wang'er, as well as Feng'er and Sister Shan, all came from the Wang family. As early as when Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian reconciled, they knew that they would not stay in the Jia family for long, so they were mentally prepared. However, everyone was a little depressed. I don’t know what to do in the future. The Wang family can’t go back this time. Where will the divorced Wang Xifeng go and how to live in the future are all full of uncertainty. Therefore, everyone in Wang Xifeng’s yard has been in a bad mood this year. good.
Now there are only two people left. The boy who lives here is a boy from Jia's house. He originally followed Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn't like him very much and didn't take him with him when he went to Yangzhou, so he followed Wang Xifeng. His loyalty is questionable. The other is Xiaohong.
Xiaohong is the daughter of Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao and his wife work as housekeepers in Rongguo Mansion and are also considered Mrs. Wang's confidants. It is a bit subtle that her daughter is now in Wang Xifeng's room, but she is "willing" to follow Wang Xifeng.
Besides, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are aunt-nephew, but Mrs. Wang is from the Jia family. Now Wang Xifeng is no longer a member of the Wang family. Even Sister Jia Qiao can only stay in Rongguo Mansion. So what does it mean if Lin Hongyu (Xiaohong) goes with her? ?
If the loyalty of these two people is not resolved, then once Wang Xifeng becomes pregnant and the news gets out, there will be real trouble.
Even if Xiaohong is loyal, can she still keep her mouth shut in front of her parents? Could she be willing to follow Wang Xifeng for the rest of her life? What to do in the future?
Wang Xifeng is also considering this issue.
The one who is reliable and useful around her is Ping'er. Like others, she can only say that she can do ordinary things, but dare not let go of other important things. Lin Hongyu is a smart person, a good seedling, and meticulous. After cultivating him, he may not be able to be like Ping'er.
The problem is that Lin Hongyu’s loyalty problem bothers Wang Xifeng. How to solve Lin Hongyu’s loyalty problem?
The personal relationship between himself and Feng Ziying must never be exposed to the light. In the future, when the child is born, they can only blame Ping'er. Even if Baochai and Daiyu suspect the child's biological father in the future, they will only blame Ping'er. Guess, don't think about yourself. This is a major prerequisite, and it is also a prerequisite for you to be able to interact with people like the Jia family and the Feng family in the future.
“Ping’er, do you think Xiaohong is trustworthy?” Wang Xifeng asked leisurely.
"Grandma, this is not a question of trustworthiness or not. Xiaohong is very good, careful, cautious and thoughtful in doing things. She is also quick-witted in emergencies. She is much better than a slave. Grandma will definitely encounter more problems when she moves out in the future. For difficult things, you need the help of someone like Xiaohong." Ping'er said firmly: "Grandma should find a way to pull Xiaohong by her side and make her follow grandma firmly."
"Think of a way, what way do you think of it? How can we speak clearly when people's hearts are separated from each other?" Wang Xifeng's words were full of desolation, "I am a fallen phoenix now. I don't know what I will be like when I go out. If I live my life Damn it, let alone Xiaohong, who among the people in this courtyard can be sure to stay with me forever except you?"
Ping'er was speechless.
Grandma is right. Now everyone can join a group to stay warm, and they can manage to survive for a while. But after a long time, if grandma's condition is not satisfactory, and there are few people in front of the door, it will be difficult to rely on grandma alone. With private money, it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain the original appearance.
It also depends on how Uncle Feng can support him. However, no matter how powerful Uncle Feng is, he still has to worry about people's opinions. He can't always use his original brotherhood with Mr. Lian as an issue, right? Then there is only this child, well, the child who counts on his head, because this relationship is "love the house and the bird", so he helps out more?
This degree is really difficult to control.
Xiaohong seems to be very loyal now, but she still hasn't tasted the warmth and coldness of the world outside. She also feels that after going out, it will be the same as in Rongguo Mansion. In the future, she will run into a few more walls and suffer a few more losses before she will understand the difference between them. difference, will she still be so loyal by then?
You must know that she is different from others. She has a way out. My mother and I are still working as housekeepers in Rongguo Mansion. It is easy to go back. But if I know grandma's secret at that time, will I still keep it secret for grandma? ? It seems impossible even when you think about it.
"What should we do?" Ping'er couldn't think of a better way.
There was a gloom in Wang Xifeng's eyes. This was related to her whole life, so she did not dare to trust anyone easily.
Ping'er is fine, Zhu'er has no heel, there is no turning back after leaving Rongguo Mansion, and you won't get any benefits from betraying yourself. As for Wang Xin, Wang'er, Feng'er, Shan Jie'er and their heel relatives, they are all still here. There is no big problem at the Wang family, only Xiao Hong, and he really needs such a helper. Ping'er alone is not enough.
“We have to find a way to tie Xiaohong to death.” Wang Xifeng almost said a few words between her teeth: “Let her be one of our own!”
While Wang Xifeng was plotting against Lin Hongyu, Lin Hongyu was also listening to her mother's teachings.
“Are you sure the second grandma is going out?” Lin Zhixiao sat silently on the chair. The speaker was Lin Hongyu’s mother, who was standing next to the chair.
"Well, in the past few days, grandma has been arranging for Wang Xin, Wang'er and Ping'er to go out to look for houses. They have chosen a few places, but they are not satisfied with them. Otherwise, they are too expensive, costing tens of thousands of taels of silver. Grandma feels a little sad. Still hesitating." Lin Hongyu nodded.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver may not be a big deal to the former Rongguo Mansion, but it is not a small amount to the current Rongguo Mansion. It cannot be scraped together unless it is pawned or sold in the ancestral house. For Wang Xifeng, a divorced woman, although she has a lot of money in her private house, she has no one to protect her after she leaves, and she just lives a life of nothing. If she suddenly wants to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a house, she will definitely think twice about it.
"Master, do you really want Xiaohong to follow the second grandma out?" Lin Zhixiao's family was still a little reluctant to let go of their daughter.
Although there are two sons in the family, there is only one daughter, and the daughter is far smarter and more capable than the two mediocre sons. One son works as a steward in the village outside, and the other works at the Jia family in Jinling. Lin Zhixiao and his wife only had this daughter around them.
"Hmph, I don't want Hongyu to go out, but don't you know the current situation?" Lin Zhixiao and his wife are known as "deaf and mute" in Rongguo Mansion. They don't speak much, and it is rare to hear them from their mouths. He won Mrs. Wang's trust when he spoke out, but when there was only one family, he had a lot of words.
"Hongyu's eldest brother comes back every month and complains about poverty. There are not even two villages left in the suburbs of Beijing, and they are all in remote areas that cannot be sold at a high price. The second brother in Jinling also said in the letter that it is difficult to maintain, and he wants to He’s back, but in the current situation, what is he going to do when he comes back?”
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help but sigh.
He is a housekeeper and is in charge of various housing and land affairs. He is very aware of the current income situation of Rongguo Mansion.
Almost all the things that could be sold were sold when the Grand View Garden was built, and the rest could not be sold at a high price. Even so, a lot of them were mortgaged. It can be said that now we are really at the end of our rope, and it is difficult for the third girl to be a good person. In this family, everyone is so worried that they have lost weight.
"The master made the biggest mistake by sending the eldest daughter to the palace. Later, he had to help the eldest daughter earn a concubine, which was even more uneconomical. So far, the master has not had any reliable information to come back from Jiangxi. If this continues, the government will have to ask for help at the end of this year. closed."
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Lin Zhixiao's family said impatiently: "After all, it's the masters who should think about it. Is it our turn to worry about this?"
"That's what I say, but we have to think about Hongyu. The scene in Ningguo Mansion is worse than ours. Uncle Zhen doesn't dare to go out to Gaole now. I heard that Grandma Zhen was all over the place yesterday. I went to the Feng family and asked her two sisters to borrow 2,000 taels of silver to help with the emergency. Dongfu (Ningguo Mansion) has been unable to pay monthly money for three months. If it doesn't pay out, I'm afraid someone will make trouble. It’s about to disperse.”
Lin Zhixiao was more stable than his wife and shook his head repeatedly.
