Chapter 19: Troubled Waters
But even if you know that it was Gu Nanniang who secretly made it bad, Mama Cai has no substantial evidence in her hands, and besides, the dim sum is all from the two chefs in the big house, if you want to do it, wouldn't it be more convenient for the cooks?
Mama Cai doesn't need to confront her, she can guess what Granny Gu will say, if she pushes people hard, the woman will turn around and sue the old lady, and the eldest lady has to peel her own skin. The only way to do www.biquge.info now is to explain it, so that people can guard against Gu Nanniang.
It's just that it backfired, in the next few days, the maids and servants around Li Jingjing had problems one after another, either they had a rash on their faces, or they were injured, and the injuries were not serious, and it seemed that they were not familiar with the environment before they were injured, but although the injuries were not serious, there were only a few people who could wait for them, but they were all painted or had rashes, and there were naturally not enough people to wait.
The maid waiting next to Li Shenshen began to be impetuous, the structure of the maid around Li Shenshen was still quite complicated, the big maid sent by the Jiang family was naturally a personal waiter, and the eldest lady sent over to wait for the Li family had a child, except for the younger sister, no one else could enter the inner room, and Gu Nanniang stopped her from getting close.
In Loei, who doesn't know that the three rooms have already been divided, although the third wife went back to live in the house, it was also because the old lady was still there, and the food and clothing of the third wife, mother and daughter, was not to go to the public middle school, but to go to the old lady's private account, as long as you understand this, you will know that with the third wife, mother and daughter, there is no good future.
Didn't you see that when the third wife returned home, she was so poor that she didn't even have the money to reward people?
So seeing that Li Jingjing was short of people waiting there, those maids and servants all quietly chatted with Mama Cai, hoping to get a good fate, and when they returned home, they would have the opportunity to leave the third room.
After reading the letter, Li Jingjing was so angry that he smashed all the tea sets on the table! It was the same as the behavior of the eldest lady when she was at home a few days ago, and Mama Cai didn't blink her eyelids, but not only the subordinates of the Li family outside, but the villagers of Lingnan Village shook their heads when they heard the movement, "Why is such a beautiful little girl so temperamental?"
After seeing the pile of tea set fragments that were cleaned up, he couldn't help but sigh, "Who dares to marry such a loser!"
One of Li Jingjing's maids hung the hand that had been turned the day before yesterday, stood under the porch, and raised her voice disdainfully, "Who in this Nanchu doesn't know that our Li family is rich and rich, and there are many people who want to marry our girl, but they don't have any family background, who dares to ask the lord and wife to ask for marriage? ”
Mama Cai heard it wrong in the house, and hurriedly got up to stop the maid from continuing to talk, but suddenly she limped and hit the table in the center of the room.
After losing his temper, Li Jingjing, who had refreshed and changed his clothes, cleaned his hands with water dripping with rose dew and sat down at the table by the window.
"Mama Cai, what are you anxious about?" Li Jingjing put in front of him, the dim sum that the cook had just delivered.
"Girl, don't let that maid talk nonsense outside. Mama Cai rubbed her waist and pointed to the angry outside.
"Okay! What's wrong with her saying a few words? Isn't our Li family rich?" Li Jingjing didn't hear what the maid said clearly, and only vaguely heard a sentence about the wealth of the Li family.
Mama Cai slandered that the Li family was rich but not expensive, and that they had no contact with the Rui Yao Sect in recent years, otherwise how could the official who came to recruit the army hook up the eldest master, the second master, and the uncle? It is a loss that there are three old masters and fathers and sons to protect them from disasters, otherwise the people whose life and death are uncertain now should be the eldest master and their grandfather.
No one in the family is an official, the only one who can read is Li Jingshi, when the old lady was there, it was not that he didn't think about letting him take the test for fame, but the old lady didn't agree, she hated Li Jingshi's mother and son, how could she allow her son to get ahead, she didn't raise him, she was already magnanimous, what else do you want her?
Because his wife did not agree, and he had to worry about the two sisters-in-law, the old lady failed to let the third son participate in the imperial examination after all, but since then, he personally taught Li Jingshi the general affairs, and also invited a martial artist to teach him martial arts, otherwise after the old lady passed away, how could Li Jingshi, who was separated after becoming a family, earn wealth in just one year and attract the suppression of the old lady?
From the old lady's standpoint, she is absolutely right, but from the family's standpoint, the old lady's actions are simply ignoring the future of the family.
After so many years, the development of Loei in the city is not as good as before, and this meeting of the Ruiyao Sect Leader is an opportunity that the old lady urgently needs, an opportunity to communicate with the Ruiyao Sect Leader.
Li Jingjing is a concubine, she thinks that no matter what, she occupies one of the two places in the big house, and the rest of the one, no matter whether it is given to the sister-in-law, is not bad for her, whether she can grab the quota of the third room or not, it really doesn't matter much to her, so she has been very calm and relaxed for so many days, even if the maids and servants have been in trouble, she has not taken it to heart.
But what she and the eldest lady never expected was that the two places in the big house were pointed out to the fifth and sixth girls by the eldest master, and if Li Jingjing wanted to attend the apprenticeship meeting, he must get the quota of the third room.
"What the hell is my mother doing?" Looking at the delicate snacks on the table, Li Jingjing had no appetite at all.
Li Qianqian because the ban order has been lifted, this day, accompanied by the Yan family brothers and sisters, came to the village chief's house to sit, the village chief's family has a few mothers-in-law and mothers here, they are discussing how to repair their children.
Because Li Jingjing's maids and servants were injured all because of these little ghosts.
The parents who were sued by others were very angry, feeling that this wind could not be long, a few little guys followed behind their respective mothers, no longer the usual life, one by one like frosted eggplants wilted and wilted, seeing Yan Lunyue leading Li Qianqian in, busy looking at her.
Li Qianqian smiled at them and walked up to the village chief's wife, "What's wrong with them, big brother?"
"Shallow and obedient, don't learn from your big-headed brother and them in the future, these leather boys dare to make a mistake and fix your sister's subordinates!"
"Mrs. Village Chief, you have misunderstood the eldest brother and them, they are doing me a favor!" Li Qianqian turned his head and motioned for Yan Lunyue to tell them the details.
It turned out that the maids and servants who were waiting for Li Jingjing would be injured because they wanted to attack Li Qianqian and wanted to cause her to be injured or sick, so they had to give up their quotas.
Because of their young age, the children in the village followed the adults of the family to the small courtyard of the Li family, although they displeased the people of the Li family, but it was not easy to say anything, when they did bad things, they were inevitably thieves, and they were targeted by these children, so it is normal to be injured by the calculation of others.
The village chief's wife glared at her with a straight face and said, "That can't hurt people!"
"They're not harmful, at best they're just careless. ”
For example, when walking around the yard, if you run a little faster and bump into someone, or trip over someone, they are very polite to pay for it, isn't it?
"And said that it didn't hurt anyone, so what's the matter with those red rashes?"
"That's not to blame them, it's the sisters who are greedy, and they ask everyone to help them pick the fruits, and when they don't do it, they go outside to pick berries by themselves, and they get a rash when they get dirty. Li Qianqian explained to the village chief's wife and others in a serious manner. "Big brother, they have done me a great help! Is the village chief's wife and my cousin illiterate? Obviously, Lang Zhong has made a list of taboos, but they still bring me a lot of snacks every day. ”
Before the village chief's wife could speak, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law quarreled first.
People have given them a list of taboos, but they still make snacks every day and send them over, is that deliberately to let the shallow old disease recur? Or is it a relative! It is too much to shoot at a child who is only six years old!
"Anyway, don't touch the food they sent, I remember that the day the cook came, something happened to you about the food she gave you. ”
That's right, Li Qianqian nodded and promised, and the village chief's wife told Yan Lunyue to guard Li Qianqian well, Yan Lunyue followed Li Qianqian's side, naturally she knew best, if it weren't for the little friends in the village, it must be Li Qianqian who had an accident, and in the face of the village chief's wife's explanation, she would have responded solemnly.
Yan Lunfeng also followed the promise, he was not like Yan Lunyue who had been staying by Li Qianqian's side, and he saw and heard far more than his sister, so he knew better than Yan Lunyue that Li Qianqian's situation was difficult, and he also understood his own situation better than his sister, if something happened to Li Qianqian, whether it was dead or taken to the city, would he still need to ask a tenant to live at home to take care of her?
In this way, the life that the Yan family has finally settled down is bound to have twists and turns, Yan Shude's injury still needs to be recuperated, Yan Fang's family wants to raise a fetus, leaving the Li family's small courtyard, who will ask a half-grown child like Yan Lunfeng's brothers and sisters to do things, and still support their parents?
It's for this reason that Li Qianqian can't be allowed to have an accident.
"We'll take care of the young lady. Thinking of this, he solemnly said to the village chief's wife.
After sending Li Qianqian and the Yan family brothers and sisters away, the village chief's wife sighed heavily.
"What are you sighing for?" Before the village chief's wife could reply, the eldest aunt turned to her son and said, "Okay! Since you said that you helped her, I won't punish you for kneeling, go back and be honest with me, if you do it again, be careful of your skin." ”
Mothers-in-law and mothers each picked up their children and grandchildren and went home, and they were still a little proud in their hearts, what did their children do good!
On the way back to the Li family's courtyard, Li Qianqian saw two people lying faintly on the roof of her house from a distance, and she couldn't help but lament, who else could those two people be besides her cousin and his attendants?
"By the way, it's hard to come out, do you want to go and see your uncle?"
Although it was a little embarrassing to go empty-handed, the Xie family knew the situation of their family, so they shouldn't care about this trivial matter.
"Is that okay?"
"Of course you can!" said Li Qianqian generously, "but I won't go in, I'll just wander around the village." Li Qianqian really wanted to get rid of the followers and wander around freely.
Yan Lunyue immediately shook her head, "It's good for my brother to go, I'll accompany you to wait for him outside." ”
The Xie family is their relative, since the young lady is unwilling to go to the Xie family, they are not reluctant, so she will accompany the young lady outside and let her brother go to see her uncle.
Yan Lunfeng nodded, "Then I'll go over first, you and Miss walk slowly, don't go too fast." "Lest he hasn't come out of the door of Xie's house yet, and if they don't go in, they will be rude to the Xie family.
"Brother, go quickly!" Yan Lunyue chased her brother, Yan Lunfeng didn't bother to pay attention to her, and rushed to Xie's house.
Li Qianqian watched him leave a little helplessly, and quietly glanced at Yan Lunyue, following so closely, how could she go to meet her cousin?
Originally, she felt strange, how could the people around Li Jingjing be put down one after another, even if the friends in the village were clever, it was impossible to prevent it so successfully, but after seeing her cousin's figure, she figured it out, it turned out that her cousin was helping in the dark!
