Chapter 479 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 6
At present, no one in the Jia family regards the magical jade as Jia Baoyu's lifeblood, but even so, the special nature of the magical jade makes Mrs. Wang and Grandmother Jia attach great importance to it.
Li Pozi and other wet nurses were responsible for taking care of Jia Baoyu, but they caused Jia Baoyu's spiritual jade to be lost. Wouldn't they be extremely panicked?
"Hurry, look for it, hurry and look for it!"
Jia Yuanchun was already dumbfounded by the people around her. The culprit, Wang Xifeng, imitated Jia Yuanchun and stood aside. After waiting for a long time and finding that no one suspected her, she leaned close to Jia Yuanchun and asked, "Yuanchun, what kind of jade are they looking for? What does this jade look like?"
Although Jia Yuanchun was no longer in the mood to talk to Wang Xifeng, she was still too concerned about her appearance. She tried her best to suppress the sadness between her eyebrows and replied, "It is the piece of jade that Baoyu held in his mouth when he was born. It has eight big characters engraved on it: 'Never lose it, never forget it, and may you live forever'."
"Don't lose it, don't forget it, may you live forever?"
While pretending to be curious about the meaning of these eight characters, Wang Xifeng walked around the room, looking down at the ground from time to time, pretending to help search.
The noise here finally attracted the attention of Mrs. Wang in the courtyard. Zhou Rui's wife was serving Mrs. Wang who was awakened, with a nervous look on her face. She had already learned the reason of the incident from Mrs. Li, and now she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would ask her.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
The more you fear something, the more it will happen. Zhou Ruijia closed her eyes helplessly, forced a smile, and cautiously approached Mrs. Wang and reported: "Madam, someone is looking for the jade on Master Bao's body outside..."
"Master Bao's jade is lost!"
"What? Baoyu's jade is lost?"
Mrs. Wang was no longer in the mood to scold Zhou Rui's wife. She was only interested in finding Jia Baoyu's jade.
"What are you still standing there for? Go find it!"
"Go ask the old lady, and get all the servants in the mansion to start looking together!"
Wang Xifeng sneaked behind the curtain, took out the fake spiritual jade prepared by Jia Yingchun from the space and threw it into the corner, "Hey, what is that?"
Mrs. Li reacted quickly. She stepped forward immediately after hearing the voice and looked in the direction Wang Xifeng pointed. "Found it!"
Mrs. Li screamed in surprise, quickly stepped forward, squatted down, picked up the fake spiritual jade in the corner, and shouted to the anxious crowd, "The jade has been found!"
Mrs. Wang just came in from outside. When she heard Mrs. Li say that the jade was found, she was so happy that her body went limp and she was about to fall backwards. Zhou Rui's wife was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to stand behind Mrs. Wang. After a while, Mrs. Wang regained consciousness and immediately walked towards Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li handed over the jade in her hand in a flattering manner. Mrs. Wang took it and carefully examined it. She found no problems and nodded with satisfaction. "Mrs. Li has done a great job. Reward!"
"Mrs. Zhou Rui, remember to go to the cabinet next to my bed and get two hundred dollars to give to Mrs. Li for a drink!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhou Ruijia agreed with a smile, and Mrs. Wang took the jade and put it back into Jia Baoyu's swaddling clothes. As soon as the jade was put down, Jia Baoyu stopped crying immediately.
"From now on, Baoyu must not take off the jade on his body. Go to the storehouse tomorrow to get some gold ingots and ask a craftsman to make them into gold threads, then twist them together to make a jade necklace."
After explaining the follow-up, Mrs. Wang finally noticed Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng standing by, "Yuanchun, why are you here?"
"And this one, is this Feng Ge'er? I haven't seen you for quite a while. I didn't expect that Feng Ge'er has grown up into a big girl now."
Now, Mrs. Wang's eldest son is well-educated, her eldest daughter is dignified and steady, and she herself holds the power of managing the Rongguo Mansion. Although her husband has several concubines, he has no illegitimate children to bother her. She also gave birth to a fairy boy who was born with a jade in his mouth. It is a time of great glory for her. Her style of doing things is the same as that of Wang Xifeng in her previous life, and she no longer looks like a silent bodhisattva in her later years.
"Aunt has good eyesight. She recognized Feng Ge'er right away."
"You are my aunt's niece. I saw you when I was little. How could I not recognize you?"
"Are you here with my second sister-in-law today?"
Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng are brothers from the same mother and have a close relationship. She does not have a very good relationship with her second sister-in-law, Zhen, but Mrs. Wang naturally would not show it in public. Wang Xifeng's father is Mrs. Wang's eldest brother and is brothers from the same mother as Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng. However, Wang Xifeng's father is too much older than Mrs. Wang and returned to his clan early, so his relationship with Mrs. Wang is not as good as the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng.
Mrs. Wang originally did not think highly of Wang Xifeng, but now Wang Xifeng has almost become Wang Ziteng's "daughter", and for Wang Ziteng's sake, Mrs. Wang has to think a little more highly of Wang Xifeng.
"My uncle was very happy when he learned that the cousins born to my aunt were one month old. He wanted to come and congratulate my aunt in person, but he couldn't spare the time, so he asked my aunt to bring me along to congratulate my aunt and cousins."
Wang Ziteng did want to come at first, as he was very curious about Jia Baoyu's magical jade and wanted to see it with his own eyes. But then he thought about the problem and hesitated for a while. After considering it, he finally decided not to come.
The Rongguo Mansion, a Duke's Mansion with connections in the military, actually gave birth to a child with strange birth features. People who understand politics will find the problem after a little thought, and Wang Ziteng is no exception. Fortunately, in order to ensure the healthy growth of Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang specially hired a "godmother" and distributed notes everywhere to publicize Jia Baoyu's name. After a series of operations, their superiors dispelled their suspicions.
While Wang Xifeng was still communicating with Lady Wang, Grandmother Jia, who had not yet received any results, was anxiously planning to send someone over to inquire about the situation. It happened that Jia Lian had just finished receiving the younger generations and went to report to Grandmother Jia, so Jia Lian was sent over.
When Jia Lian came, because it was Jia Baoyu's residence, he just lifted the curtain and came in without informing anyone. As soon as he came in, the first thing Jia Lian saw was Wang Xifeng, who was talking and smiling with Mrs. Wang.
This sister is so pretty!
Jia Lian, who is only fourteen years old now, is not the Jia Lian who would eat anything, dirty or smelly, in the future. Although he has already slept with someone else, he is still very "innocent" in his heart.
Wang Xifeng noticed that someone was staring at her, so she looked back in the direction of the line of sight. Before Jia Lian could retract his glance, Wang Xifeng caught him. After looking at each other, Jia Lian's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head, not daring to look again, and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
Seeing Jia Lian, who looked like a young man in love and fell in love with her at first sight, Wang Xifeng was so upset that a bunch of thoughts ran through her mind.
"Disgusted."
Wang Xifeng never believed in the saying "good men can be reformed". Whenever she thought of the grievances that Jia Lian had brought to Wang Xifeng in their previous life's marriage, she felt that Jia Lian, who was only fourteen years old at this time, looked a lot greasy.
