Chapter 94: The Old Woman Makes Trouble
After the banquet, Jia Cong finally had two days of complete leisure. He didn't need to go to visit his parents morning and evening, so he spent the whole day in the yard practicing boxing, reading, and teasing the little maids. It was really a wonderful thing.
"Master, the Second Grandma is here!"
Hearing Qingwen's words, Jia Cong stood up to greet her. As expected, he saw Wang Xifeng leading a group of maids and old women walking quickly towards him.
"What wind brings my second sister-in-law here?" Jia Cong smiled and led Wang Xifeng into the hall.
"Who cares about the wind blowing from the east, south, west or north? If Second Madam is willing to come, there is no need for the wind to blow her. If she is not willing to come, no matter what wind blows her away!"
"Hahaha!" Jia Cong laughed loudly, which was exactly what Feng Lazi said.
"I received a great gift from Brother Cong the other day, so I came to express my gratitude!"
"It's not a rare thing. Is it worth the second sister-in-law to thank you?"
"Oh, it's because of the great uncle's wealth. Such luxury items are just so-so to the great uncle, but they are very precious to the second sister-in-law."
"Maybe there's nothing else, but I still have a few of these things here, Third Brother. If Second Sister-in-law needs them, just come and get them anytime!"
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Then the second sister-in-law should thank Cong-ge first. The eldest uncle's words are binding, and you can't go back on your word."
This made Jia Cong laugh again.
"I was busy the past two days and was delayed by Cong's affairs. Now that I have some free time, I will hurry to take care of Cong's affairs first."
"Ping'er, go let them in."
Ping'er responded, then went outside to call a few old women and maids over.
"Hello, Third Master!" After everyone had saluted, Wang Xifeng pointed to the maid in the middle and said, "This is Qin Xian's wife. She has some skills, so she is a cook in Third Brother's courtyard. The other two maids are assistants in the kitchen."
"Speaking of which, Qin Xian's family is somewhat related to my third brother. She is Qingwen's aunt, so it's convenient for us to get along with each other on a daily basis!"
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Qingwen, you will be in charge of our kitchen!"
Qingwen agreed, and then stood respectfully behind Jia Cong.
"Those two little ones are Xiao Jixiang and Xiao Jiaoer!"
Jia Cong smiled and said to Xiao Que'er, "Xiao Que'er, why don't you thank your second sister-in-law!"
Xiao Que'er was already happy, but she didn't dare to speak because there were outsiders around. Only after hearing Jia Cong's words did she step forward and bow to Wang Xifeng to thank her.
"Which class are they?"
"My Lord, I was originally a third-rank maid in Aunt Zhao's room!"
"Then upgrade it from first class to second class!" Xiao Que'er thanked Jia Cong with a big smile on her face, and the two little ones also knelt on the ground and kowtowed again.
"Then from now on, our little bird will take care of them , okay?"
Xiao Que nodded hurriedly!
"Otherwise we have to say that Third Brother is a kind-hearted person. Look at this little Que'er , she must be the most favored maid in the whole mansion!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
"Those two are Keren and Xier, also second-class maids! There are also a few maids who do rough work. We will ask Qingwen and the others to go to the courtyard to introduce them to each other later."
Jia Cong nodded, "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"
After that, he turned to the maids and servants and said, "I am the only proper master in this courtyard, so I won't be harsh on you. However, you must follow the rules. I think you know what you should and shouldn't do. If you break the rules... hehe, I will punish you, and don't blame you for not giving you any face!"
The maids all responded quickly and then left.
Wang Xifeng drank two cups of tea and was about to leave when she heard hurried footsteps. A moment later, Si Qi rushed in.
"Third Master, something bad has happened!"
"Today, Nanny Wang drank a lot of wine. Because the Second Miss asked her a few more questions, she started to make a scene in the Second Miss's courtyard. Sister Shan Yun slapped the old woman a few times, and she became even more unyielding. Later, Housekeeper Wang also came and made a big fuss outside the Second Miss's courtyard."
"The second girl was afraid that something might happen, so she didn't dare to let Sister Shan Yun beat her again..."
Wang Xifeng's face changed immediately. Everyone knew that Jia Cong was close to these sisters. How could such a thing happen now? Moreover, before Jia Cong went to the border, he spoke to the old lady specifically because of Yingchun. Now, she had no face left.
"What a dirty, black-hearted scoundrel who doesn't know his place. Don't worry, Third Brother. I'll punish that woman and she won't..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia Cong interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Haha, second sister-in-law, it seems that I, an uncle, don't have much respect in the mansion."
"Qingwen, go to the front yard and ask Teng Wu to bring a team of personal soldiers over! Have them wait outside Second Sister's courtyard."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Who else is in that old woman's family?"
"Master, there is only Wang Zhuer, who is in charge of the front yard."
"Tell Lu Feng to capture Wang Zhuer and wait for my order!"
Wang Xifeng's face turned pale. Those personal soldiers were not the old women or maids in the mansion. If they really took action, something big would probably happen today.
"Good Third Brother, how about giving Second Sister-in-law some respect? Besides, if there is a fuss, it will not be good for the old lady."
"Please don't worry, sister-in-law. How can you blame me for this? It's just that those old women don't understand the situation. Today is a good opportunity. I will explain the situation to them!"
As he spoke, Jia Cong stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law, let's go and see the fun!"
Wang Xifeng followed Jia Cong out of the door with a bit of panic. After walking a few steps, she hurriedly whispered to a little maid behind her, asking her to deliver a letter to the old lady. Now, in the whole mansion, perhaps the old lady was the only one who could speak in front of Jia Cong.
When the group arrived outside Yingchun Courtyard, they saw the Wang family member and a maid they met last time wailing and crying outside the courtyard, and there were many maids and servants watching the fun around them!
"Greetings, Third Master Cong, and Second Madam!" Everyone hurriedly bowed.
"What a vulgar thing! You guys should laugh at this? Get out of here, Second Madam!" Wang Xifeng was furious.
"Wait!" Jia Cong waved his hand, "Since you are here, take a look before you leave!"
"Greetings, General!" At this time, Qingwen also rushed over with Teng Wu and his personal soldiers.
The arrival of these personal soldiers made many people present change their expressions, and even the two wailing voices became a little quieter!
"Have someone watching here. If anyone dares to leave without Benbo's permission, we will kill him first and ask for his permission later!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Teng Wu waved his hand, and the guards behind him drew out their long swords and spread them around the crowd. This horrifying scene immediately made many people terrified.
"Xiao Que'er, go knock on the door. Let's go see Second Sister first!"
