Chapter 24 Generational Change
Qiu Ju froze and looked back at her in confusion, Lin Zhixuan said: "My mother is coming back after all, and I still have to think of a long-term way." ”
Qiu Ju couldn't think of any good way, so she could only wait for Lin Zhixuan's idea, Lin Zhixuan pondered for a long time but said: "In any case, you send some silver carbon over to solve the urgent need, and then wrap ten taels of silver over, but you have to wait for the evening and go quietly." And in the past few days before my mother comes back, let's not get too close to the second sister on the surface, and when the time is right, you can also release some words that I intend to retaliate. ”
"Girl?" Qiu Ju didn't understand what Lin Zhixuan was thinking at all this time.
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "You listen to me, I have my own plans." You urged Chun Tao to move out quickly, she is not a first-class maid now, and it is not suitable for her to live with Xia Lan. The reward and punishment of the maid in my room, you still have to go back to the second sister-in-law, after all, she is now in charge, and she always wants her to nod her head in this matter. ”
Qiu Ju seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't seem to have guessed anything, so she only agreed.
Qiu Ju replied to the matter of the maid in Lin Zhixuan's room in front of Chen and Liu Xiang, and Chen just smiled and said: "The matter in the third sister's room, naturally the third sister is in charge of her own affairs, and I don't have anything to allow." Liu Xiang re-registered the people in the third girl's room, and issued a new monthly routine in the future. ”
Liu Xiang responded while sending Qiu Ju out with a smile, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting, but Liu Xiang's words were faintly alienated.
Mrs. Wang has only been away from the house for two days, but what happened in the Lin Mansion is earth-shaking, first the second grandmother Chen thoroughly inspected the door of the house and then entered the house without permission, which caused an uproar, causing turmoil in the house, and then the news of Lin Zhixuan's house happened.
How the three girls punished the merits and punishments changed their temperament greatly, but it spread in the mansion in one day, and the subordinates of the Lin Mansion all exchanged their heads and ears.
Mrs. Liu, who was decocting Lin Ruoxuan in the kitchen, also secretly said to Gu's mother: "When these three girls fall, they really seem to have changed people." ”
Gu's mother also sighed: "That's right, that day Qiu Ju came to tell me, I still don't believe it, but look at it today, because of the private entry and exit after the door is closed, how many maids and wives the second grandmother has beaten, and the person who pleads to the second grandmother every day has kneeling and breaking his leg, our second grandmother has not seen it squarely, but the third girl has been given this face alone in the house." ”
Mrs. Liu lowered her voice and said: "These three girls are silent on weekdays, we don't know, but the ruthless methods of the second grandmother, the house is famous, when I grabbed the outer room raised outside the second master, pregnant with the child was called to death, the second master begged, the second grandmother didn't look at it, the girl's old son wanted to report to the official, the second grandmother didn't blink her eyes, and she was beaten to death with the child."
She is in charge of the house, and when she found out such a big thing, according to her temper, I originally thought that I couldn't escape a death, but I never thought that the second grandmother would sell the face of the third girl today and spare our cheap lives. The third girl was even more stubborn, so she was fined a month's monthly money and rewarded five taels of silver, which was not a clear disagreement with the second grandmother, but she didn't want the second grandmother to turn a blind eye and pass over, and she didn't pursue it. It's also really strange. ”
Gu's mother smiled and said: "What's the matter, let you get cheap, but you have a sad face in my family all day long, you didn't get on the second grandmother's board, why are you still unhappy?"
Mrs. Liu scolded with a smile: "You old woman, you are watching your goddaughter Qiu Ju gain face in front of the third girl, you think your good days are coming, right?" I can tell you, these days are long, and now my wife hasn't come back, don't forget, Chun Tao was trampled down by Qiu Ju, but there is still the old thing of Mrs. Zhao, wait for her to come back, watching her goddaughter suffer this humiliation, but you Qiu Ju is so comfortable!"
When Gu's mother heard Mrs. Zhao's name, she said in disgust: "What are you doing with her?" Go and go, take your medicine and leave quickly, you are not serious about the person in your own room, why are you worrying about the affairs of the third girl's room all day long?"
Seeing that the medicine was almost boiled, Mrs. Liu took gauze to pour the medicine and filter the slag, and said with a mocking smile: "The one in our house is useless, I can quietly tell you, the wives on both sides have been in the temple for a few days, and they have already discussed the second girl's family, and they have to prepare to marry when they come back." ”
Gu's mother was also surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Really, who are you listening to?"
Mrs. Liu also looked around to avoid people, and then said to her: "Early this morning, the tailor in the outer courtyard came to measure the size of the second girl's clothes. ”
Gu's mother also frowned: "Then do you know which family you want to marry?"
Mrs. Liu had already filtered the medicine and picked up the bowl: "How do I know this? But I'm afraid that when the wives come back, there will be news." I'll go first. ”
Gu's mother responded, but muttered in her heart, the second girl had just broken his wife's heart, and was married off by his wife, and she couldn't marry anywhere, so she couldn't help but look at the yard over there and sighed: "It's also a pitiful one." ”
Since she had such a nightmare that night, Lin Zhixuan has a bit of a sense of not being able to eat and sleep, and now she only calls Qiu Ju to keep vigil every night, and she is also looking forward to saying a few more words to her.
She didn't dare to sleep, for fear that once she fell asleep, she would never wake up again. Qiu Ju always persuaded her to sleep peacefully over and over again at night, but Lin Zhixuan's bitterness in her heart couldn't be told to her.
Lin Zhixuan now only hopes that her mother and eldest wife can come back quickly, don't do those magic things to exorcise ghosts, she doesn't want people to see the difference, she doesn't want people to think that she is talking nonsense, she doesn't want to take those calming medicines, and she doesn't want people to think that they are haunted by ghosts, what charms to paste, and what to do. She was really afraid, afraid that before she had time to do anything, she would return from a dream and lose the opportunity to work. So she forced herself to wake up, even if she was in a trance for a while, she wanted to pinch herself and wake up quickly.
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei didn't know what to do, they just watched Lin Zhixuan take the medicine day by day, but their faces became worse and worse, they only said that it was because Lin Zhixuan had worked hard for Qiu Ju and Lin Ruoxuan in the past two days, and they also comforted her during the day and let her sleep more.
Lin Zhixuan still wanted to hold on, but after breakfast, she couldn't hold on, and finally fell asleep in a daze on the bed.
Lin Zhixuan didn't know how long she had been asleep, she heard a crisp sound of porcelain breaking, followed by the sound of turning over pots and cabinets, and a burst of scolding in her ears, Lin Zhixuan opened her eyes dimly, and saw an old woman over forty years old who was slapping Qiu Ju in the face.
