Chapter 55: The 55th Day of Being Transformed into Grandmother Jia
Chapter 55 The 55th day of being transformed into Jia Mu
Yuanyang quickly ran to the second room, and then took the doctor to Wang Xifeng as she said.
When they arrived, Lai Ma had already left.
Wang Xifeng asked Yuanyang suspiciously, and after learning the whole story, she said, "I thought, they came to see me eagerly, but after a few words, they talked about other things."
Then she seemed to think of something, and said bitterly, "It is also because our family is too tolerant that they have grown up to be careless. However, Lai Ma has been with the old master for so long. I will send someone to check on Lai Shangrong later. If he is a good person, I will talk about him. If not, hum!"
Yuanyang smiled dryly and said, "In this case, I will be happy."
Perhaps Wang Xifeng noticed Yuanyang's embarrassment as a family servant, and quickly changed the subject.
Baoyu was dragged to drink, and he always liked to party, and soon he was playing with the people brought by Xue Pan. He also made some new acquaintances, such as several young men, and Jiang Yuhan.
Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian were both very good-looking, which made him even happier and more refreshed.
However, he was hurt by Jia Zheng's beating earlier, so he dared not be as naughty as before, and dared not indulge himself too much, so he left the party before dark. He
was just heading to his own courtyard, but was stopped halfway. The little maid bowed and said, "Please come in, ancestor." Baoyu did not dare to let the ancestor wait, so he asked the servant to get some sobering soup first, drank it hastily on the way, and hurried over.
When he arrived at the ancestor's courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter inside.
The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. The maid opened the curtain, and when he looked out, he saw his mother, Sister Feng, Sanchun, Daiyu, Baochai, etc. were all there, talking about something and laughing happily.
Baochai saw him first and waved to him, "Brother Bao, come here quickly. Just now they said they were going to celebrate Feng's birthday.
It's a double happy day, so you should come too." After sitting down and listening to a few words, he realized that the ancestor was going to hold a big birthday for Sister Feng. In addition to half of the expenses from the public treasury, the other half of the expenses were all paid by the ancestor.
"Don't run out on that day. Your sister Feng is pregnant now, so you can drink a few more cups for her." The old lady patted Baoyu and said.
Baoyu responded with a "hey".
Everyone discussed it and gradually dispersed.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng stayed, and the two talked to the old lady about Lai Mama.
After Mrs. Wang left, Wang Xifeng took out a string of signs, "Grandma, I am not as energetic as before, and I can't take care of the affairs on hand. I have to trouble you to find someone to take care of it."
The old lady picked up the signs from the tray that was sent over, knowing that they were used by Wang Xifeng's housekeeper. What surprised her even more was that Wang Xifeng actually took the initiative to give up power.
Obviously, netizens were also surprised -
"Oh my god, Wang Xifeng actually gave up
her power." "Was she frightened by a nightmare last time?"
"I don't understand the above. For ancient women, giving birth to an heir is the most important thing."
"Wang Xifeng did give up her power in the Red Mansion. At that time, Li Wan, Tanchun and someone else were in charge of the household together."
"Baochai." "
But at that time, Wang Xifeng was forced to give up her power. She was unwilling in her heart. '
'Could it be that this time it is also a retreat to advance?'
The old lady was also a little suspicious, "I can't find anyone for a while, so let Ping'er, who is beside you, help take care of it first
." "Then when the old ancestor finds someone, I will let Ping'er come to hand in the cards." Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said, "Grandma, the third girl, I think she can do it. Just talking about the third girl, her shop makes a lot of money every day, which shows that she has a plan."
The old lady looked carefully and felt that Wang Xifeng was not perfunctory or pretending, so she really began to consider and nodded.
But in fact, Wang Xifeng was indeed a little scared of the curse last time. In the past, she said that she was not afraid of the revenge of the underworld, but if she really encountered it, how could she not be afraid?
Now that she is pregnant, she is even more afraid that her unborn child will become a victim in the fight.
So after careful consideration, she decided to let go of the housekeeper before giving birth to the child.
However, she was not sure that she had no plan.
She had expected that the old ancestor would not give the power in her hands to the wife again, and since the eldest wife was not favored by the old ancestor now, the power of housekeeping would sooner or later return to her hands.
After getting rid of one thing on her mind, Wang Xifeng ordered someone to find out about Lai Shangrong as she had said before.
The old lady had no time to care about other things, because Baoyu's provincial examination was imminent.
According to the rules of the dynasty, noble families could be exempted from the Tongsheng examination, which consisted of three stages: the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the academy examination, and directly participate in the provincial examination as a scholar. As long as they passed, they would be "juren".
Jia Zheng did not know that his son was going to participate in the autumn examination until the day before Baoyu's provincial examination.
His shock can be imagined. In his opinion, this was simply "nonsense". It was only because he considered that his son was about to take the exam that he did not say out all the abuse in his heart.
I think Baoyu also had this idea, so he did not tell anyone except the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
On this day, everyone in the mansion was nervously waiting for Baoyu.
For several days afterwards, no one dared to say anything except Tang Tang Shui Shui.
Baoyu came back completely dizzy after the exam, and was in a listless state for the next few days.
This state made everyone in the family dare not ask more questions, just thinking that he was going to play. After all, Baoyu was not even fifteen years old, and he was going to experience it.
Soon, a letter from Haijiang arrived, along with a large package.
The letter was from Jia Lian, and it was on Wang Xifeng's birthday.
The old lady and others were sitting in the lobby listening to Yuanyang read the letter. The letter first expressed his joy about becoming a father again, and some of the customs and folk customs of Haijiang, as well as the occasional small groups of Japanese pirates.
At the very end of the letter, there was a line of small words.
The small line was so strong that it penetrated the back of the paper, but the content was to ask the family to rescue him.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at each other.
Jia She, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly and turned his attention to the package next to him, "Um, Yuanyang, open the package and take a look."
This was skipping the topic of "rescuing people".
Everyone was silent, and then tacitly looked at the package.
There were a lot of things in the package, but most of them were dry goods, including dried seafood, dried fruits, pickles, etc.
Jia She decided to leave some to the old lady, and divided the rest a little bit, and then left them all to Wang Xifeng.
The next day, it was Wang Xifeng's birthday.
Everyone held a birthday banquet in the Grand View Garden, and everyone had a great time.
The next day, the results of the provincial examination were announced.
Everyone in the Jia family gathered in Rong Xi Hall.
Mingyan went to see the list early, and compared to the nervousness of the whole family, Baoyu was very calm.
"Will Baoyu pass the exam?"
"Seeing Baoyu is so calm, he must be sure of it."
"If he passes the exam, my god, it will be the pinnacle of life."
"It's very similar to our current high school entrance exam."
"If he passes the exam, the future of the Jia family will be completely changed, at least there will be successors."
"Upstairs, doesn't Jia Lian deserve to have a name? I'm more optimistic about Jia Lian."
"Yes, but Jia She is really cruel. Poor Jia Lian, patting his head from a distance."
"Pfft, the main thing is that you can't get it back even if you want to."
However, an hour later, Mingyan came back dejected and hesitant.
Now everyone knows that Baoyu has failed the exam.
For Jia Zheng, he was not surprised at all. He just "humphed" and got up to leave.
Mrs. Wang and the old lady were obviously disappointed.
Baoyu didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and left the hall.
The old lady sighed and said to Mrs. Wang, "Tell him not to be too anxious. If it doesn't work once, try it twice. It will always succeed."
