Chapter 87: Wang Xifeng gets power

"Uh...really?" Jia Rong couldn't believe her ears. So many things happened after drinking too much yesterday? Then she looked at Ruizhu with her head lowered. Her ears were already red, knowing that this

Things are very close to each other.

What a sin!

"Can this matter be false? As I said yesterday, Ruizhu's monthly payment will be based on her status as aunt, and it will be twenty taels per month."

Qin Keqing didn't have any other opinions. Although she and Ruizhu were masters and servants, they were sisters. Moreover, Ruizhu was originally a dowry maid. Later, she saw that there were few people in the east courtyard, so she immediately became a married woman. So she and Sister Feng

Just like the girl Ping'er around me, sooner or later she will enter the inner chamber, all that's left is a name.

"Daughter-in-law, just look at the arrangements." What else could Uncle Rong say? He just casually checked it out, and then he would be given an extra tael of silver every month, and at the same time, a prospective aunt would be added to the room.

For these maids, dowry, marriage, and aunt are three completely different levels. Although the status of aunt is not high, she will be able to have two maids to serve her in the future, and she will also have her own small yard.

The little Que'er next to him watched eagerly, wanting to say that the uncle also met him yesterday; Lian Baozhu felt a little moved when he saw that Uncle Rong was so talkative.

How could they not be envious of the little Que'er who had already set her sights on Uncle Rong; the young Que'er who also came in as a dowry and considered herself to be his wife's daughter-in-law?

Uncle Rong noticed something and took aim at the two people next to him with evil eyes.

Aren't these two little maids also thinking about it? They have entered the wolf's den. Only children can think about everything, and adults know that their bodies can't bear it.

Jia Rong's heart trembled and she muttered: "Don't think about it wrongly. We won't talk about these things until a few years later."

After saying that, he ran away as if running away.

Several women in the room were left looking at each other in confusion. Qin Keqing pretended to be a grandma and said: "Of all the maids in the room, how many of them don't want to be aunts? I'm not the kind of grandma who just wants to be alone. You guys

From now on, if you can devote yourself to this courtyard and Ningguo Mansion, everything will be done properly. Even if the uncle doesn’t say anything, I will give you a title."

Que'er was the first to nod and rushed to say: "Qu'er obeys grandma the most. Whatever grandma tells, Que'er will do."

Baozhu followed closely and said: "It all depends on grandma."

The attitude between the two of them was excellent, and Qin Keqing was quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "Don't even think about other ideas. Having an affair before you have a reputation is not allowed in the house. If I hear that someone is seducing the master.

, I will not show mercy and send him out directly. I, the grandma, can still take charge of the affairs of the inner house."

"Que'er must keep an eye on grandma," the maid with a round face shouted quickly.

"..."

"..."

The day was getting colder and colder, and Jia Rong didn't want to go out more and more. However, even so, Uncle Rong had a long meal at the house, asked about the rent in the village this year, and ran around happily

Arrive at Xifu.

There is someone waiting for him there.

Outside Wang Xifeng's courtyard, Jia Rong saw a man dressed as a nun entering, and curiously asked the maid who was guarding the courtyard, "Who is that person who just came in?"

"Don't you know, Mr. Xiao Rong? That is Jingxu Bodhisattva from Shuiyue Temple. He comes to the house on the first and fifteenth day of every month and often recites sutras to the old ladies."

"This Jingxu Bodhisattva is indeed very perseverant. He is still going back and forth between Tiejian Temple and the mansion in such a weather."

One of the maids hummed: "That's natural. Every time we come and go, we should recite the scriptures several times. But if you want to take away ten taels of silver, can you not have the perseverance?"

Let me go, it’s too easy to make money here. Twelve taels each time, twice a month, that’s twenty taels. When they don’t come to Jia’s house, if they go to other places to find work and recite sutras, these nuns can’t

Earn several hundred taels of silver a month?

This is more profitable than the cement kiln that I hired someone to build so hard. A few hundred taels a month, which is thousands of taels a year. Even Jia Rong, who is the head of the Ningguo Mansion's foreign residence, thinks like this.

Dumbfounded.

How much income does the Ningguo Mansion make every year? It also needs a lot of expenses to feed hundreds of people. And what are the expenses for the nuns? If the nuns in this nunnery save money for a few years, wouldn't they be richer than the Ning Rong Mansion?

"There is no need to announce. I will listen in the yard without going in." Jia Rong said to the maid, walked through the hall, and stood outside the door to listen to the conversation in the house.

Just listen to Sister Feng ask: "What is it?"

The old nun replied: "Amitabha! It's because when I first became a monk in Shancai Temple in Chang'an County, there was a benefactor named Zhang, who was a rich man. His girl's nickname was Jin Ge, and she came to my temple that year.

When I came to offer incense, I unexpectedly met Young Master Li, the brother-in-law of the Grand Master of Chang'an Mansion. Young Master Li fell in love with Brother Jin as soon as he saw her, and immediately sent someone to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, Brother Jin of the Zhang family had already been appointed by the former Chang'an Guardsman."

Sister Feng said: "What does this family want to ask for?"

The man replied: "The Zhang family wanted to push forward the marriage with Chang'an Shouwei, but they were afraid that Shouwei would not comply, so they said they already had a wife. Who knew that Master Li had to marry, and the Zhang family was helpless, and they were in a dilemma. Unexpectedly, Shouwei

When the family heard the news, they went to Zhang's house to make a fuss without asking any questions, saying, "You want a girl to be married to a different family?" But they were not allowed to withdraw from the wedding ceremony, so they started a lawsuit.

Now the Zhang family is in a hurry, and they sent people to Beijing to find a way out. They are angry and want to break off the engagement with the guard family. I thought that Master Yun from Chang'an Jiedu was in good terms with the family, so I went to my second mistress to send my greetings and wrote a letter to ask for Yun's help.

Master, please tell the guard that you are not afraid that the guard will not comply. If you are willing to do it, the Zhang family will be willing to show filial piety even if it means losing their entire family."

Sister Feng's laughter came out: "I wonder what it is, it's not a big deal. But our family has never been short of money? We don't do such things."

After a long while, Brother Rong heard the old nun sigh again and said: "Even so, the Zhang family already knew that they had asked for help from the Jia family. It doesn't matter now. The Zhang family didn't say that they had no time, and they didn't want him."

It’s as if the Rongguo Mansion doesn’t even have such a means of thanking you.”

After hearing this, Sister Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately snorted: "You know me all the time, and you never believe in any underworld retribution. No matter what the matter is, I can do it. Just ask him to take three thousand taels."

silver……"

When Brother Rong heard this, he knew something was wrong, so he rushed into the main room regardless and shouted: "Where is this evil nun who dares to come to Jia's house to stir up trouble? I really don't think she has ever tasted the taste of arsenic?"

Sister Feng's words were interrupted by this loud shout, and she felt dissatisfied. Even when she looked at Rong'er, she didn't look good. "Why did you come in?"

Uncle Rong thought that he was being cautious outside and did not dare to leave any clues to others.
