Chapter 126 Keqing VS Feng Lazi
After Jia Cong returned to the East Palace, he continued to guard the coffin!
It was the middle of the first lunar month and the weather was extremely cold. Except for Jia Yun and his group who had been accompanying Jia Cong, most only came for a walk occasionally and would only come out when someone came to pay their respects.
As for the female members of the family, Jia Cong sent them all back. It was so cold and if one or two of them got frozen to death it would only cause more trouble.
"Okay, there shouldn't be any guests coming today, so you should go back and have a rest! You've been working hard for several days and you must be tired!" Jia Cong waved his hand at Jia Yun and the others.
"Uncle San, we have nothing to do when we go back anyway, so stay here with Uncle San for a while."
"It's okay, you guys go back and rest first, I'll go to the side hall in a bit! We have to hold on for more than a month, it would be bad if we get sick from overwork."
Jia Yun hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Third Uncle, I will go home first and come back in the evening!"
The others also bowed to Jia Cong and then left in a hurry.
Jia Cong was guarding the three coffins in the yard, quietly thinking about what to do next. Now that the Ningguo Mansion was attacked unexpectedly, he could discipline the servants in the mansion!
The two Lai brothers, the stewards of the two houses, the Wang Shanbao family of the first house and the Zhou Rui family of the second house, almost none of these families are good people, including some small stewards, similar to Wu Xindeng and others, who also have a way to die! Before, he couldn't do it, but after being adopted, he became the patriarch, and it was most appropriate for him to handle these things.
Of course, there will be resistance. However, I think as long as the old lady is convinced, others will not be able to cause any trouble.
They had barely passed the checkpoint of the East Palace. Wang Xifeng had already given a warning. After dealing with the servants in the palace, the only things left to be figured out were some things about their stepfather Jia She.
After stumbling for several years, I finally see hope.
"Meet the Third Master!"
Jia Cong was also very tired these past two days and was still thinking about something. It was not until the visitor spoke that Jia Cong came back to his senses.
"Ruiju?"
"Grandma personally cooked some lotus seed soup and asked me to bring it to Third Master to warm his body! She also brought a hand warmer..."
"The side hall has been decorated. The bedding is all new and prepared by Grandmother. Baozhu is guarding there. If Third Master is tired, he can go and rest for a while."
Originally, according to Youshi's idea, the Ningzheng Hall in the main courtyard should be cleaned up and Jia Cong could live in it!
Ningzheng Hall is the same as Rongxi Hall in the West Mansion. The courtyard where Youshi and Keqing live is on the east side of Ningzheng Hall. To the west of Ningzheng Hall is the ancestral hall of the entire Jia family, and behind the ancestral hall is Conglu Hall.
The large area behind the main hall is Huifang Garden, the backyard of Ningguo Mansion! Buildings such as Dengxian Pavilion, Tianxiang Tower, Ningxi Pavilion, etc. actually belong to Huifang Garden.
Huifang Garden is scattered with strange rocks, and water from an outer river is diverted to form a lake, making the scenery of Huifang Garden exquisite and beautiful.
Although Ningzheng Hall is good, it has not yet been opened as a ancestral hall, so it is somewhat inappropriate. Jia Cong is not in a hurry for this month, so he simply has someone clean up a room in the warm room in the front hall for him to live in temporarily.
"Thank your grandmother for me!" Jia Cong was not polite and took it and drank it all in one gulp. The warm porridge water entering his stomach really made him feel much more comfortable.
"How is your grandmother these days?"
Jia Cong was not a gentleman, and he admired Keqing's beauty very much! However, he was not a sex-hungry ghost, so he would not hang out in Keqing's courtyard for no reason. In fact, except for a few times when he had something to do, he basically never took the initiative to go to Youshi or Keqing's courtyard.
"Thank you for your concern, Third Master. Although the eldest grandmother has been a little tired these days, she is in good spirits. Moreover, the second grandmother from the West Mansion has also been helping out recently and often comes to the room to chat with the eldest grandmother..."
The person who is most tired these days is not Jia Cong, but Wang Xifeng!
In terms of housekeeping skills, both Youshi and Keqing were not weak, and were even not much worse than Wang Xifeng. However, as the widows of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, they could not take care of some things themselves, so most of the things in the back house fell on Wang Xifeng.
In addition to the East Palace, the West Palace also had to be taken care of. These days, there were probably dozens of maids and servants following Wang Xifeng every day, waiting for her orders at any time!
Thanks to Wang Xifeng's fierce methods, all servants obeyed her orders and the backyard was managed by her in perfect order.
"Well, if you see my second sister-in-law, thank her on my behalf and tell her that you've been busy these days and I'm hosting a banquet for her!"
Ruizhu agreed, and asked Jia Cong if he needed anything else, then turned and left.
At this moment, in Keqing's room, Wang Xifeng and Keqing were lying together on the bed. Because it was a funeral, both of them were wearing pure white underwear, and the thin lining outlined their graceful figures.
The expression on Wang Xifeng's face was bold and somewhat proud, while Keqing's face was flushed, looking pretty and charming.
"You little bitch, how come you look so much better these days?" Fengjie hooked Keqing's chin unscrupulously, making Keqing blush with embarrassment.
"Second Madam is just a talker, don't let me say anything nice!" Keqing retorted in a delicate voice.
Oddly enough, the two have completely different tempers and personalities, but they have a very good relationship! Although they are of different generations, their ages are not much different, and they get along more like two sisters.
"Ha!" Wang Xifeng raised her head, "Go ahead and say it, Second Madam, I am upright and have nothing to fear from my own shadow. If you don't say something nice today, don't blame me for punishing you severely!"
"Second Grandma really wants me to say it!"
"Who do you think Second Grandma would be afraid of?"
Keqing pursed her lips, then looked at Qin Lian and Ping'er who were both outside the room, then she shyly lowered her voice and said, "Humph, I don't know which one it was the other day, but he came to my place to sleep after he got tired. It would have been fine if he just slept, but he was not honest, and in his dreams he kept shouting dirty words like "hurry up" and "no"!"
"I remember clearly that after Second Madam woke up, she asked Ping'er to prepare hot books and go to bath in the afternoon! I wonder what good dream Second Madam had!"
It is said that conversations between women are more exciting than those between men, and this scene is enough to prove it.
Who would have thought that the words of a gentle and amiable woman and a domineering woman could be expanded to form a novel? And it's the kind that can't be published?
Even though Feng Lazi has always been as domineering as a man, her face turned red with shame after hearing Keqing's words!
I cursed fiercely in my heart, "This buffalo grass..."
Then, he turned over and pressed on Keqing, "You little bitch, are you thinking about love? Oh, Second Madam, I know. Our brother Cong has been adopted into the East Palace and is now a proper master. Second Madam, I want to see if this little bitch can escape from my brother's clutches..."
Keqing moaned in shame and started playing with Feng Lazi..
