Chapter 189: Fooling Wang Xifeng

Mother Jia knew that the Lin Mansion must be waiting for Lin Yun to return for a reunion, so she did not keep him in the house for dinner and asked Jia Lian to send him out.

As soon as Lin Yun left, Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia Mu and said, "Old ancestor, grandson daughter-in-law, go see if lunch is ready in the kitchen."

Mother Jia knew that she definitely wanted to talk to Lin Yun, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask the kitchen to prepare more of your aunt's favorite dishes."

"OK."

Wang Xifeng responded, said goodbye to Aunt Xue, and quickly chased out.

She walked out of the flower hall and asked the maid Xiao Hong who was standing outside: "Where have the Second Master and Brother Yun gone?"

Xiaohong: "My nephew just said that he is waiting for you in grandma's yard."

Wang Xifeng murmured in a low voice: "He is really smart and knows that I will come out to find him."

Xiaohong said again: "Grandma, sister Ping'er was called away by her nephew."

Wang Xifeng nodded and said: "You stay here and guard. If the old lady wants to give you any instructions, you can inform me immediately."

"OK."



After telling Xiaohong, Wang Xifeng hurriedly walked to her small courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, I saw Lin Yun and Ping'er standing together talking, but her second master Lian was nowhere to be seen.

Wang Xifeng walked forward quickly, holding a gun and a stick and smiling: "Hey, it's been a while since we last met, you two can't wait any longer."

Ping'er was so impressed by Wang Xifeng that she wanted to escape, but she couldn't bear to be separated from Lin Yun after a long separation.

Lin Yun smiled at Wang Xifeng and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, when I come back this time, can I take Sister Ping'er away with me?"

Wang Xifeng: "Why are you so anxious? You just came back and you took Ping'er back to your house. Aren't you afraid that your uncle will scold you for being obsessed with sex?"

Lin Yun said nonchalantly: "What uncle says is my business, so I don't need you to worry about it."

Wang Xifeng: "You are thick-skinned, so naturally you are not afraid of others' criticism, but Ping'er has to keep his face."

Lin Yun said with a dark face: "Let's be honest, when will you let Sister Ping'er come over?"

Wang Xifeng: "When you move into the new mansion, I will send Ping'er to you."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "How long will it take for the yard over there to be completed?"

Wang Xifeng: "The work has been completed. I heard from the second master that you will get married there on the sixth day of October."

"oh,"

Lin Yun calculated in his mind that there was still more than a month until the sixth day of October, and he estimated that he would move in about ten days in advance.

After calculating clearly, he asked Ping'er: "Sister Ping'er, what do you think?"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "I listen to grandma."

"Okay. Then just wait until I clean up the house over there before I come to pick you up."

"Um,"

After Ping'er got the letter, he agreed with satisfaction and then left.

As soon as she left, Wang Xifeng immediately said with a bitter face: "Brother Yun, when Ping'er leaves, it's like I'm missing an arm."

Lin Yun took out a stack of large banknotes from his arms, handed it to Wang Xifeng and said, "This is the dividend of the Jinling Perfume Shop for the first two months. It totals 6,500 taels of silver. I brought it to you."

Wang Xifeng quickly took the banknotes and while counting them, she asked Lin Yun: "Why is the income of the Jinling Perfume Shop so much lower than that of the capital city?"

Lin Yun: "What's so surprising? There are many officials in the capital, and there are also many rich people. Besides, there are perfume shops in Yangzhou and Suzhou, which will naturally affect the income of Jinling perfume shops."

After Wang Xifeng counted the banknotes, she smiled at Lin Yun and asked, "You won't make false accounts to deceive me, right?"

Lin Yun said angrily: "You are the only one with three melons and two dates. Is it worth my thinking?"

Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered what Xue Pan said in the flower hall, and she quickly asked: "Did you really spend 30,000 taels of silver to help your brother Lian's best friend win the oiran?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "It is true."

Wang Xifeng heard this and said angrily: "You heartless person, I gave you all the best people around me. Is this how you repay me?"

Lin Yun said with a dark face: "What's wrong with you? I helped that prostitute fight for the oiran, and it wasn't all for your sake."

Wang Xifeng looked confused and said: "You help that vixen fight for the oiran, how come you are thinking about me?"

Lin Yun: "Think about it, if that girl has a bad life, Brother Lian will feel that he owes her, and he will always think about her in his heart. Now that I have helped her get the Oiran, Brother Lian will feel that he is indebted to her."

If he confesses her, it won’t be long before he forgets about that woman.”

Wang Xifeng suddenly said: "You are right, I wrongly blamed you this time."

Lin Yun warned again: "You must never mention this matter in front of Brother Lian."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you two brothers have conflicts."

Lin Yun took out another letter from his arms, handed it to Wang Xifeng and said, "This is the family letter that Sister Yuanyang's father asked me to bring to her. You can hand it over to her later for me."

"OK."

Wang Xifeng put away the letter and asked Lin Yun: "My father and brother didn't ask you to bring me a letter?"

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Aren't you asking knowingly? If they want to write you a letter, they will naturally ask Lai Wang to send it to you. How could you ask me to bring it to you?"

Wang Xifeng smiled coquettishly and said, "I thought they would let you drop by."

Lin Yun: "I'm leaving first, the mansion over there is still waiting for me."

"Okay, then walk slowly."



After sending Lin Yun away, Wang Xifeng returned to his room and saw Jia Lian sitting at the desk drinking tea leisurely.

She told her maid Feng'er, "Go to the kitchen and see if their lunch is ready. Come back to me quickly."

"Yes, grandma."

Feng'er agreed and led the two little maids out.

Wang Xifeng walked to sit down next to Jia Lian and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go to accompany Brother Xue and sit here drinking tea alone?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Xue in my aunt's house is just a fool. What can I say to him?"

Wang Xifeng: "He is a guest after all, how can you treat him so slowly?"

Jia Lian changed the topic and asked: "Aunt Xue and her family are coming over. What is your plan?"

Wang Xifeng: "I heard from my wife that she wants my aunt and her family to live in our house first."

Jia Lian laughed when he heard this and said, "Brother Yun guessed it again."

Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "Brother Yun said that my aunt's family will live in our house?"

Jia Lian nodded, and then said: "Brother Yun also said that since our eldest sister has been granted the title of concubine, she will probably come back to visit relatives soon. Our family will probably spend a lot of money next year."

Wang Xifeng: "You mean our family will help the imperial concubine build a villa for her relatives?"

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Not bad."

Wang Xifeng seemed to understand and said: "My wife asked my aunt to stay in the house, is it because she wanted to let them~"

Jia Lian interrupted Wang Xifeng and said, "As long as you know it in your heart, you don't have to say it out loud."

Wang Xifeng nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Jia Lian: "One more thing. Brother Yun said that there are too many servants in our house. I want you to remind the old lady that some unnecessary manpower should be cut as appropriate."

Wang Xifeng said with a bitter face: "The old lady is in high spirits now. If I go to pour cold water on her at this time, wouldn't I be scolding her?"

Jia Lian: "I'll give you a chance to say it, but I'm not asking you to say it right away."

Wang Xifeng: "Why didn't he say it himself? I see that the old lady's attitude towards him today is more enthusiastic than towards your direct grandson."

Jia Lian: "After all, he is on the same floor as our house. There are some things that are difficult to say to the old lady. Unlike us, if we say anything, we will only get a few scoldings, but the old lady will not take it to heart."

"That's true. I'll take a chance and mention it in front of the old lady. However, I don't think the old lady is willing to listen. After all, cutting off servants would mean losing the status of the government."

Jia Lian frowned when he heard this. The old lady loved face and luxury, and everyone in the family knew about it, so how could he not know about it.

It's just that there are more and more servants in this house, and the income has long been lower than the expenditure, and it is all supported by the wealth accumulated in the early years. If you don't think of ways to reduce expenses, sooner or later there will be big problems.

Jia Lian was thinking about it when he saw Feng'er walking in from the outside and reported to Wang Xifeng: "Second Grandma, the kitchen is ready. When will the banquet start?"

"You ask them to wait for a moment, I will report to the old lady,"
