Wang Xifeng was the great housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, shrewd and spicy, quite means and cunning, even her husband Jia Lian was compared in front of him, according to the words of the Zhou Rui family, that is, less than ten thousand hearts and eyes, ten talking men, but also said that he was not.
But even so, Wang Xifeng still failed to earn a good ending for herself, and Cao Gong wrote in her sentence: One from two to three people, crying to Jinling matter even more mournful. Her final ending is likely to be abandoned by Jia Lian, dragging her sick body all the way back to her mother's house.
Her lyrics are also clearly written: the organ is too clever, counting Qingqing's life, her heart has been broken before she dies, and her sex is ethereal after death. That is to say, Wang Xifeng, who was shrewd in the first century, eventually ended up with a thin fate of rebellion.
On the other hand, Wang Xifeng's life can be regarded as raining and winding, the entire Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia Province, its prestige is unknown to everyone, the overlord-like figure, to look like a look, to be talented and talented, from a young age there is a decision to kill.
At a young age, she already held great power, holding the most resources in Jia Province, with the support of Jia Mu and Lady Wang, and the assistance of Ping'er, Xiaohong and others, mentioning the name of Grandma Lian'er, afraid that those under Jia Province were terrified and afraid of three points.
But so what? Even if the mountains of gold and silver are piled up, even if everyone is afraid of her and respects her, even if the scenery is infinite, won't she end up with a miserable end? Even when she was imprisoned, her mother's brother also became a adulterous brother, and in the face of the death of her daughter Qiao Sister, she could only sigh in vain.
What Wang Xifeng probably did not expect was that she repeatedly used the silver of the officials to lend money abroad, make profits herself, and even used the power in her husband's hands to enrich herself, but in the end, she not only could not take away any bit, but also made countless enemies. In the end, these investments of hers did not bring her any benefits, but brought her disaster.
The biggest disaster was that his brother actually pushed his daughter Qiao Jie into the fire pit. What she did not expect was that her accidental "grace" turned out to be the most successful "investment" in her life, and she thus accumulated merit for herself, and also enabled her future daughter to be murdered after she fell.
Her "investment object" this time is Liu Grandma, facing Liu Grandma who has just entered Jia Province, an old woman in a village, Wang Xifeng will certainly not put it in her eyes, let alone expect Liu Grandma to repay her in the future.
To be precise, in the face of Grandma Liu who entered the Rongguo Mansion for the first time to fight the autumn wind, Wang Xifeng was somewhat disdainful, and did not even look at her squarely, holding a shelf from beginning to end, if it were not for Madame Wang's explanation, I was afraid that Grandma Liu would return empty-handed this time.
You think, Wang Xifeng's birthday, even Zhao Zhou's two aunts of the two silver share are worried, how can she generously take out 20 taels of silver to a poor relative who can't beat the eight rods and may not have any return? After all, Wang Xifeng only had 5 taels of silver a month.
However, Madame Wang had already explained that although this Liu Grandmother was poor, she would not let them go back empty-handed every time she came, and she should not slow him down. What's more, for Wang Xifeng, this is taking other people's money as her own human affection, even if she didn't expect to get anything from Grandma Liu, but why not enjoy it?
The magic of fate is here, not to meet is just that, both to meet is fate, and this fate will only get deeper and deeper, for Sister Feng, this "occasional cause of Ji Liu's" act of goodwill has quietly ambushed the fate of Sister Qiao.
Sister Feng, who is high above, naturally does not have any expectations for poor relatives like Liu Grandma, as long as she does not come to Jia Fu to fight the autumn wind after that, it is already very good, but Liu Grandma's simplicity and kindness have finally aroused the admiration of Sister Feng.
Liu Grandma, who entered Jia Province, brought a cart of fresh melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables, this time, she did not come to fight the autumn wind, but to thank Jia Fu, especially for Wang Xifeng's generous gifts, Liu Grandma was grateful in her heart, otherwise how could she do everything in her power to cooperate with Sister Feng Mandarin Duck and coax these noble men and women in Jia Province?
Presumably, Grandma Liu also knew that these 20 taels of silver were unlikely to have been given to her by Wang Xifeng himself, but after all, these 20 taels of silver were given to her through Wang Xifeng's hand. It should be said that when Sister Feng faced Grandma Liu who came to fight the autumn wind for the first time, she should have a glimmer of kindness in her heart.
After all, 20 taels of silver is not a small amount, and miss Jia Fu, a monthly routine for a year, is only 24 taels. Wang Xifeng could not give so much at all, and giving three or five pieces of silver could send Grandma Liu away.
We also know that Grandma Liu of the Second Jia Province once calculated a crab account and said that more than twenty taels of silver were "enough for our crops to live for a year." That is to say, a good idea of Wang Xifeng gave Liu Grandma a year's living expenses.
This kindness, Liu Grandma will naturally remember Wang Xifeng's head, after all, she is the great housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, and how much she says to give, give or not to give, is her decision. Therefore, when Grandma Liu learned that Sister Feng was going to give her twenty-two pieces of silver, she "itched with joy again." ”
Why did Grandma Liu have such a reaction? She didn't expect it at all. Perhaps in her cognition, coming to Jia Fu to fight the autumn wind, Jia Fu Nian in the old idea relationship, can give a few pieces of silver is already very good, at least can let a family a few peaceful winter. Even, if Jia Fu did not recognize this family, Grandma Liu could only return with sorrow.
Even after Grandma Liu's family eased up, when she finished calculating the crab account when she entered Jia Province, when she learned that a crab feast in Jia Province asked for more than twenty taels of silver, she was shocked and shouted "Amitabha Buddha!" ”
Therefore, it can be imagined how much impact Liu Grandma had had on her when she learned that Sister Feng had given her 20 taels of silver. It is no wonder that she will say in the back of her mouth, "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse" and "Your old uprooted hair is thicker than our waist." "These 20 taels of silver are simply overjoyed."
This matter, Wang Xifeng may be left behind in the future, she has so many things to deal with every day, where will she remember such a small thing. But Grandma Liu will not forget ah, a person throws his hand to give you a year's living expenses, such a person is a life-saving benefactor, a lifetime can not forget.
Later, when Jia Fu fell, Liu Grandma learned that Sister Qiao was in distress and tried her best to save Sister Qiao from water and fire, all because her mother Wang Xifeng had also saved Liu Grandma's family from water and fire, and Zhi En Tu was the most perfect embodiment of Liu Grandma.
The so-called good causes and good results, Feng Jie would not have thought that the wealth she had accumulated with half her life's efforts would finally disappear, and did not bring any benefits to herself, but it was a kind act of helping the poor in the economy, accumulating yin gong for her daughter, and it was also the most successful "investment" in her life.
Although this "investment" brought her not a huge wealth, it was something more precious than a huge wealth, that is, her daughter's life and even innocence. I don't know, will Wang Xifeng, who is dying, have an epiphany?
