Chapter 183: Watching

Nancheng Li House, because the old lady and the two masters have moved to Liancheng, Nancheng is run by the second Mrs. Li, who has married the betrothed concubines one after another, but the second wife, who is not very strong, is tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The second wife waited beside her, all of them waited with all their hearts, but they were inevitably a little worried, the master of the family all went to Liancheng, and I heard that there was a concubine who was the head of the third room to support her, oh, no, people are not concubines now, but concubines, because her mother is the wife of the yuan.

As for the third wife, I heard that she was taken in by the second master and became Aunt Jiang, but the second wife was very sad, especially when I heard that she also had a baby in her belly, which made everyone unbelievable, wasn't she the wife of the third master? How could she get together with the second master?

The old lady is still indulging her, it's really a world of decline! I don't look at the fact that there are so many girls in the family who have not yet left the cabinet, if it is to spread the word, how can the aunt and grandmother who have already left the cabinet hold their heads up in the in-law's house?

Fortunately, it was in Liancheng, not in Nancheng.

The maids and servants talked about it a lot, and even their evaluation of Li Shen was not very good, because she was an ominous oil bottle with an unknown father, and now that her mother made such a scandal, how could the people in the house have a good impression of her.

Li Shen, who was far away in Liancheng, didn't know that his reputation in Nancheng had fallen to the bottom, and the sisters of the Li family regarded her as an enemy, especially the girls in the second room, without him, when she was the daughter of the third room, there was no conflict with their interests, but now her mother has become an aunt in the second room, and she is still quite favored, with the support of her mother and the old lady, have they fought for her?

This is also why, those married aunts and grandmothers will go to Liancheng to find Aunt Jiang's bad luck, if it is someone else who is pregnant with the child, it will be fine! It is the old lady's niece, you know, the old lady did not hesitate to intervene for the third uncle to reduce his wife to a concubine for her, so as to make room for the little Jiang family, if the little Jiang family gave birth to a son to the second master, then the old lady would not give the second wife a leave of absence in order not to wronged the niece's son, so that the second master could correct Aunt Jiang?

Because of this, they did not hesitate to offend the old lady, and they couldn't let the Jiang family give birth smoothly, but they didn't know that this move just helped the Jiang family get rid of the bane, but when she was still the third wife, she and the second master** owned, if she stayed, it would become conclusive evidence of the crime, and now they are excepted, in addition to disappointing the elders in the family with them, if the second master uses this matter to suppress them in order to correct Aunt Jiang, they have no position to object.

This is Li Qinqin, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the big house, who specially came back from her mother-in-law's house to remind the sisters, which is intended to make them stop acting impulsively!

Because of Li Qinqin's words, the girls of the Li family who stayed in the Li house in Nancheng were a lot more honest, and Li Jingjing, the only one who Li Qinqin couldn't let go, was also much more comfortable, which made Li Qinqin and the second wife breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's really hard these days. Li Qinqin pursed her lips and said to the second wife who was half lying on the bed.

"It's hard for you, if it weren't for my aunt and grandmother coming back to help, I'm afraid that my little life would be explained here. The second wife took the embroidered handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and the corners of Li Qinqin's mouth showed disdain slightly, but her face was very friendly and comforted the second wife.

"Grandmother relies on the second aunt to let you stay at home. Seeing this, Li Qinqin persuaded her to be more generous, "Since it is a fact that Aunt Jiang entered the door, you might as well be generous, first, you can make your grandmother feel sorry and grateful to you, and second, let the second uncle feel guilty, and treat a few sisters better." ”

The second wife nodded, these days, the henchmen around her have also persuaded her a lot, the matter has come to this, she wants to quarrel again, this family is afraid that there is really no place for herself, anyway, the one in Aunt Jiang's stomach is gone, and she has injured her body, and when she recovers, the old man is afraid that he will not know that he was hooked away by the vixen.

She has three biological daughters by her side, as well as several concubines, and another concubine who drags oil bottles, so what? Li Shenyuan is far away in Liancheng, and the old lady has her own food and clothing to worry about, so she doesn't need to worry about many things, she just takes care of the family's affairs.

Li Qinqin watched the anger between her eyebrows gradually disappear, and sighed lightly in her heart, how difficult it is for women, but it is difficult for women to be women.

Because it was almost the end of the year, Li Qinqin did not stay for a long time, and after saying goodbye from the second room, she went back to the big room to sit down for a while, and helped her mother take care of the housework by the way.

As soon as he entered the door, the servants and maids greeted each other, Li Qinqin responded lightly, came to the hall, and ordered someone to ask the steward to talk back.

I don't want to be the first to come to the door today, it will be her mother's henchman Mama Cai.

"Self-redemption?" Li Qinqin was quite surprised, no matter how generous her mother was, she was not so generous as to let Mama Cai's family have extra money to redeem herself, right? You must know that his family is her mother's henchman, how could her mother let their family go away.

"Yes!" Mama Cai looked grateful, "The eldest lady is merciful, knowing that the old slave's grandson is talented, so she generously agreed to the old slave, and only after saving thirty taels, she allowed the old slave to redeem himself." ”

"What about your son and daughter-in-law, and your daughter and son-in-law?"

Li Qinqin's eyes were full of disbelief, but Mama Cai was her confidant, and in front of all the subordinates, Li Qinqin couldn't refute her, or wouldn't she say that what her mother said didn't count?

After receiving Mama Cai's silver, let the steward lead Mama Cai to the yamen to cancel the slave registration, she still felt that something was wrong, and when she returned to her husband's house to finish her housework, it was late at night, but she did not go back to the room to rest, but asked the maid to study ink, and wrote a letter to her mother.

Nancheng and Liancheng are close to each other, and within a few days I received a reply from Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li neither admitted nor denied that she had promised to let Mama Cai redeem herself, but said that she did not remember.

Li Qinqin sighed, her mother is like this every time, she doesn't dare to take responsibility in case of trouble, so she deduces that she doesn't remember, Mama Cai is her confidant, even if she really agrees to let her redeem herself? That's her person, she will let people go if she wants, who will talk too much? Because she asked such a sentence, her mother said that she didn't remember!

If you are so unresponsible, how can you afford this family in the future? Do you think that your grandmother can live a long life and manage this family for the rest of her life?

"Grandma. Li Qinqin came back to her senses and saw that the servant woman she had sent to investigate the situation of the Cai family had returned, so she hurriedly asked her to come forward and reply.

After listening to the servant's words, Li Qinqin only felt her heart beat faster, and she seemed to have noticed that something was wrong.

"Did the Cai family buy those two Zhuangzi in one go?"

"Yes. The servant woman's tone was very envious, Mama Cai is the confidant of the eldest lady, she has the ability to help the family redeem herself, and she also bought the family business, all of which are used as slaves for people, who is not envious of this opportunity?

Some people have been slaves to their masters for a lifetime, but they have not fallen into good condition, let alone redeemed themselves, they have made some mistakes, their families have been sold, and they have never seen their relatives again, or they have been scolded and killed with a cane.

Can a master be merciful like Mama Cai and let her family out?

I'm afraid I can't find a master in this southern city, who is as generous as Mrs. Li!

Li Qinqin said in her heart, her mother is generous, but with the monthly example of Mama Cai's family, even if she redeems herself, she is doing her best to buy a property, and there is more than one place where the surplus money comes, how is this possible?

If her mother didn't give Mama Cai an additional reward, then her family would have another way to make money, what is it?

The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

The next day, she asked the maid to call her a henchman to accompany her daughter-in-law into the house, this daughter-in-law was her big maid Yan Liu, Yan Liu was born delicate, so she was not opened by Li Qinqin's husband, when she reached the age of eighteen, a companion who helped her manage the dowry shop, begged her to ask Yan Liu to be her daughter-in-law, Yan Liu and his wife were loyal to her, so she had many things, all of which were handed over to their husband and wife.

"You asked the head of the house to help me check, and when Mama Cai and her son were on an errand in the house, what other ways did they have any money?"

"Are you suspicious of them......."

"I'm not sure what they've done, but it's certainly not a good thing, otherwise how could they have saved up such a large sum of money in such a short period of time?"

Although Mama Cai's mother and son are very careful, they will leave traces if they do it, not to mention, how can the Cai family not spend it after they get a windfall? Where they originally lived, the neighbors on the left and right were all errand people in the house, although everyone had a lot of money per month, but they probably knew it in their hearts, who couldn't see that the Cai family spent more than they earned?

Besides, Mama Cai smashed her errand a few years ago, and she didn't take a good look at the girl, so she caused trouble, and since then, Mama Cai has not been as good as before in front of the eldest lady, that is to say, in addition to the fixed moon silver, it is impossible for the eldest lady to reward her with things.

But what the Cai family wears is different from them!

They have long wanted to talk to people, but there is no good opportunity and object, this time I heard that the Cai family is so big, not to mention the slavery, but also to buy property as a landlord, everyone is like raising more than a dozen cats, each of which tickles people's hearts!

I didn't want an acquaintance to come to them on this day and ask them about the Cai family, the three aunts and six wives were very happy, and they all worked hard to discuss the Cai family affairs with Yanliu and his wife.

Yan Liu and his wife spent three days of hard work, and finally sorted out the pulse.

The next day, Yanliu went into the house to find Li Qinqin and told him about it, but Li Qinqin was scared enough.

"You mean, they've always been in contact with the third uncle?"

"It should be so, the third master had asked someone to send a letter and send things back, and they were all collected by Mama Cai. Yan Liu said.

"Then, my third uncle and their father and son are still alive?"

"They should all be alive before, but I don't know about it in the past two or three years, because the Cai family hasn't received anything from them for a while. ”

Mama Cai felt that if they stayed any longer, they would not be able to reap any benefits, so they decided to leave?

Li Qinqin thought of the little Jiang family, who had entered the second room as a concubine, and Li Shen, who had changed from a concubine in the third room to a concubine in the second room, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, if her third uncle and father really didn't die and came back, knowing what her grandmother had done, would she have lifted the Li family?

"Send someone to keep an eye on Mama Cai's family for me. ”

"Grandma?" Yan Liu was stunned and asked, "How long will you be staring?"

"I'll talk about it when I'm sure my third uncle won't come back. Li Qinqin took a deep breath and said. (To be continued.) )
