Chapter 280 Banquet at Rongguo Mansion
At the lunch banquet, a man and a woman came to sit at the table of Mrs. Shi. To put it bluntly, there were only two men. Jia Baoyu and Li Miao were invited by the old lady to the table. At the same time, it also showed that the old lady was treating Li.
Miao's attention.
It is logical that this is a bit of a violation. But the ancestors of the Rongning and Ning Mansions are there. Mrs. Shi is a person who can break the rules in the Rongguo Mansion. Of course, Jia Baoyu is used to it and does not think it is inappropriate.
Jia Baoyu was a little unhappy when he saw Li Miao also present. Li Miao also took the opportunity to observe Jia Baoyu and did not see anything unusual. So he also let go of his heart.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are with the old lady. Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun and Youshi are also here. Although Wang Xifeng also has seats, she holds Jiujin in one hand. She often wanders around the old lady, and when she sits
few.
Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu are Li Miao’s wife, and it is reasonable to have a seat. The wife is noble. As the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, Youshi represents the face of Ningguo Mansion.
As the steward of Rongguo Mansion and the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng's key is that Wang Xifeng will come. Wherever she is, there will be laughter and joy.
Now, the old lady was amused by her again. Although Old Lady Shi kept laughing and scolding, the old lady actually only took this trick. It can be seen from her eyebrows that Old Lady Shi was the one who said that
Taijun is really happy.
Li Wan is qualified to sit at this table. Now her father, Li Shouzhong, is a cabinet master. Li Wan's status in Rongguo Mansion has also risen. However, the seats are limited, and the second-generation woman is sitting. It is normal to have no seats for her.
The one who is most qualified to sit at this table is Mrs. Xing. As Jia She’s successor, she is actually the wife. It may be because she was born humble and her dowry was not generous. It may also be because of Jia She.
Anyway, there is no one in my mother's family. Even if there is a younger brother Xing Zhong, he came to the capital to join her. If it weren't for Li Miao's acquisition of Xing Xiuyan and resettlement Xing Zhong, it would have been said that Xing Zhong would have been wandering on the streets.
In any era, people speak by strength. Only with strength can they be respected and have the right to speak. Rules are dead, and people live. Mrs. Xing sat at a table next to her, and she didn't feel anything wrong.
.She had long been accustomed to it, as if it should have been.
Because Mrs. Wang was sitting, it made people feel a bit like a stingy look. The eyes were not enough. I looked around and looked west. I had to take care of Mrs. Wang's expression from time to time. It was so beautiful! I basically didn't move my chopsticks.
No one knows his son, but his mother, how could Mrs. Wang not know Jia Baoyu's nature? So she pretended not to see it. Mrs. Wang was acquitted by Mrs. Shi a few years ago. However, the housekeeper's rights were confiscated and he was confiscated. Be a rich and idle person
Bar.
After all, Mrs. Wang is the biological mother of Concubine Xiande in the palace, and the housekeeper has been confiscated. What else can I do? Mrs. Wang is now looking at Rongguo Mansion, and she is full of vitality. Whether it is the master or the slave, she is full of energy.
A group of Hao was ordered to go to the palace to pay homage to Concubine Xiande, and of course Mrs. Wang was also listed. When she saw Concubine Xiande, Mrs. Wang didn't believe her eyes. Shouldn't she be in a bad mood? Why did she think that it was not the case?
?
You should know that the Rongguo Mansion now gives Concubine Xiande a lot less money. The eunuchs who come to the house are also turned away one by one. Concubine Xiande should be frowning and not having a good life.
Later, after the mother and daughter chatted alone, Mrs. Wang found out that after the Rongguo Mansion rectified, it was active to repay the owed silver from the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor also personally gave the imperial plaque. From then on, Concubine Xiande had a better life in the palace.
The eunuchs are the ones who change their minds when they see the emperor's attitude towards Rongguo Mansion has changed drastically, can these eunuchs not follow suit? Those eunuchs who used to blackmail them have regretted their intestines.
Who knows that even this salted fish can turn over in Rongguo Mansion? Is it important to be silver or the head important? These eunuchs themselves have no power. They rely on their godfather and their godfather’s name are scrambling outside.
So, these eunuchs found Wang Xifeng to return the money and even added a lot of apology. Of course, Wang Xifeng would accept it without any delay, and it would not be possible if they did not accept it! These eunuchs had kneeled down and couldn't get up for a long time.
When Mrs. Wang learned that her daughter was living well, how could she be unhappy? Concubine Xiande also took care of Mrs. Wang and wanted to establish a good relationship with her sister-in-law Li Miao. Li Miao had two backers, Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai.
In addition, Li Miao is young and has already become a fourth-rank high-ranking official. The future is promising. Moreover, this time, Li Miao made great efforts to rectify the Rongning and Ning Mansions. This shows that Li Miao, the son-in-law, is reliable.
Originally, Mrs. Wang had an objection to Li Miao, so she helped Wang Xifeng to rectify Rongguo Mansion and arranged for her concubine Jia Huan to study in his study. This was obviously against her!
Now, when Mrs. Wang heard from Concubine Xiande, this is really the case. Li Miao is really willing to help Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, the old lady would not value him so much.
When Mrs. Wang looked at Li Miao again, she felt much more pleasing to her. When she saw Li Miao looking back, she smiled kindly. Li Miao was also stunned. This was the first time that it was the first time. It was definitely not a good thing.
There must be something for others to ask for. Li Miao and Mrs. Wang have met several times. They have never seen a smile at all. This is an unprecedented kind smile, not a casual one.
Although Li Miao has no intersection with Mrs. Wang, his impression of Mrs. Wang is not good or bad. He is devoted to his children and daughters, and he can't be bad. Let's see.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Miao suggested to Mrs. Shi to buy the Lai Mansion, which has been idle. Now the second yard of the Li Mansion is still too small. With the increase of Li Miao's wives and concubines and children, it is obviously not enough.
Lived.
Li Miao has long been interested in Lai Mansion. The house in Lai Mansion not only covers a large area, but also has many houses and exquisite designs and decorations. There is also a large garden built in the backyard that is imitated by the Grand View Garden.
The Lai brothers have spent some time on the house. Moreover, there are many illegal places in the entire yard. Rongguo Mansion has always wanted to take action, but most people can't afford it at all, and those who can afford it look down on them.
Feng Shui is still very important these days. You say that the whole family is sold, and the one who is sent to the official, and only an old lady is raised by Rongguo Mansion. How good is this Feng Shui?
Li Miao is not afraid of these things. He is lucky enough to live in. Wherever he lives, it is the Feng Shui treasure land. As for those places in Lai Mansion that are illegal, it is just right for Li Miao. There is no need to change it. Just move in with your bag.
Originally, Li Miao and Wang Xifeng could discuss this matter. But he didn't want to be quarrels, nor did he want to make things difficult for Wang Xifeng. Besides, Li Miao didn't want to take advantage of Rongguo Mansion. So, he mentioned this matter to the old lady at this time.
Old Mrs. Shi is also generous and wants money, so she will give it away for nothing. Li Miao doesn’t care whether the old lady is really generous or not. She will definitely not take advantage of this. Does Li Miao lack money? She still understands the principle of eating people with short mouths and soft hands.
Finally, the transaction was sold for 300,000 taels of silver. Rongguo Mansion was very satisfied. This idle Lai Mansion really couldn't sell at a high price of 300,000 taels of silver. Li Miao was also very satisfied. It was worth the money and the cost was far.
Much more than this number.
So, the guest and the host were having fun. Li Miao took the opportunity to ask the old lady about the matter of the mandarin duck. "Old lady, I want to wait for you a hundred years to get the mandarin duck through the door." Li Miao immediately stood up and bowed deeply to the old lady.
Li Miao also knew that as long as he proposed it, the old lady would not refute her face. But the old lady must have no choice but to accept it all at once. Yuanyang is the old lady's crutch, and she is really inseparable from it.
Although Li Miao waited for the old lady a hundred years later, his heart was already with you. Is this mandarin duck still the same mandarin duck? Old Mrs. Shi, who had been grinning for a long time, finally calmed down her smile and fell into deep thought.
Li Miao made this decision because of several considerations. First, he gave Yuanyang an explanation. After all, he was already his own woman. When Mrs. Shi was a hundred years later, I wonder when she would have to wait?
Now all Li Miao’s women know about Yuanyang. Can Yuanyang feel good as a girl’s family?
Today Li Miao was really stimulated by Jia She. Li Miao was not jealous. The key is what if one day, Yuanyang was pointed at by the old lady? I was not afraid of ten thousand, but I was afraid of it. So today Li Miao directly pointed out
.
People at several tables nearby also heard Li Miao's words. Jia She's reaction was indeed that his son-in-law was indeed a lustful person. Finally, he couldn't help but speak to the old lady.
Jia Baoyu's mind was, who doesn't like Sister Yuanyang? She is the lifeblood of the old lady. I dare not ask grandma for it. It seems that Li Miao is going to kidnap Sister Yuanyang again.
Although Jia Baoyu is not familiar with the worldly affairs, he knows the weight of Li Miao in the old lady's heart. He feels that 80% of the old lady will agree. Jia Baoyu looked at the contemplative old lady Shi nervously, and acquiesced in his heart, "Grandma, don't agree to him."
