Chapter 221: Dismissal of Domestic Servants
"Although our family is rich, our family background is thin. We only have more than a dozen or twenty sets of new clothes all year round, and we also change three or two sets of jewelry. You pay us a month for a year, and you are not satisfied. Zhang Xiaofeng sneered: "Mother, your baby girl is so good at spending money, I'm afraid our family can't afford it." ”
She suddenly realized and hissed: "I said why did I suddenly make a fuss, Yueji and Xiangweiju are out of business, and no one pays for her." ”
"No, I'm not ......" Cheng Yulian's face turned pale. She saw that Luo Qinian's clothes and decorations were always new, and the daughters who were good friends with her also wore different clothes and jewelry every time. She didn't want to be looked down upon, and she didn't want to embarrass the Han Mansion.
It's not that she deliberately wants to make trouble today, it's Han's mother who sees that her clothes are torn and feels sorry for her. Tears rippled pleadingly at Mother Han.
Han's mother blamed her for spending money indiscriminately, and at the same time felt sorry for her that her clothes were torn and had to be blamed by others, so she glared at Luo Qinian with her eyelids: "Old man, Yulian's clothes are torn, you help her make up for it." ”
Luo Qinian didn't say anything, and looked at Han Xuan, he stood quietly aside, no one helped, including her. The enthusiastic heart is half cold.
There were tears in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let it fall.
"Mother, I am the daughter-in-law of the Han family, not the slave of the Han family. After saying that, he strode away, and when he reached the door, he paused, did not look back, and said to the air in front of him.
"The family has a short income, and I can't afford to support many people, so I will do my own things in the future. "Shout nonsense.
Han Mu was angry: "I can't say that you are stingy?" The boss is already a third-grade member and a young servant in the family, do you want him to be laughed at by his colleagues who come to the door?"
Luo Qinian turned around: "Don't you say that I forgot, marry a man and marry a man to dress and eat, and the family depends on him to support him." Osmanthus, Xiaofeng, our body has been collected, keep it for ourselves and spend it slowly. ”
"You-oh my God, you've killed me!"
Han Xuan was silent all the way and followed her back to the room. "Daughter-in-law, you shouldn't choke with your mother like this, wait for the mother's anger to disappear, you go to compensate her. ”
"Han Xuan. Luo Qinian solemnly called his full name for the first time, and he couldn't help but sit upright.
She looked him straight into the eyes, trying to see his thoughts, but unfortunately, those two cold pools were unfathomable.
"The ancients said that the heart is easy to heart. I've always taken it as a proverb. I treat my mother with sincerity, filial piety, and don't dare to be disobedient. When I first came to your house, she was good to me and bad, and I was only worried that I was not good enough, and I worked hard to learn all kinds of things and try my best to do my best. I did it too. However, in the end, my mother was only bored with me. The heart will be tired and sleepy, people will be lazy and slack, and I have no strength to deal with my mother. "I don't know how much I still have a friendship for you.
"Daughter-in-law," Han Xuan suddenly panicked, and a fear that he would lose her at any time swept through his body. He wanted to rub her tightly into the blood, but he didn't dare to touch it. She is cold and lonely, rejecting people thousands of miles away. Approaching her is blasphemy.
"Big brother?" Han Yu knocked on the door, "Are you okay?" He wanted to ask his sister-in-law if he was okay, but when the words came to his lips, he asked him.
"Go out and talk. "Gently close the door.
"Big brother, my mother wants us to take over Yueji and Xiangweiju. My third brother and I were unwilling, and my mother threatened us with death, and we had no choice but to ......"
"I see. I've also heard about the matter of pleasing oneself and hometown taste, eighty percent of people are jealous of business and deliberately designed to frame them. Mother let you take over and do a good job, solve the matter satisfactorily, and then return to Zhao. ”
"If you don't say it, we won't want it. Han Yu sighed: "This time my mother has passed." Your Yulian sister, marry as soon as possible, since she came, there will be no quiet day. ”
"Well, they're looking at each other. ”
In the main hall, Zhang Guihua and Zhang Xiaofeng took the roster to roll call. Han's mother cursed and foul language on the side, and people trembled and almost wanted to bury their ears in the mud.
Zhang Guihua and Zhang Xiaofeng were stunned, except for a big girl in one room, only the janitor, the housekeeper Hu Lai, the kitchen steward Cheng's mother, and the father Cao who fed the horses and drove the carriage.
"You, you are not filial, you have a huge family business, how can you live without servants to work?"
Zhang Guihua sneered: "Born with mud legs, I am still busy working in the field when I give birth." We are not delicate people, sprinkling and cleaning, washing and cooking, and taking everything out. Besides, General Cui bought a house in Kyoto and moved out, but the family was his own and he didn't pay much attention to it. ”
"You!"
"Hehe, mother, don't be angry, you're angry and looking for money to take medicine. Zhang Xiaofeng took a sip of tea, Longjing before the rain, she loved it the most. "When Ming'er, Han Jie and his brothers come back with the money to support the family, my mother likes to buy a few maids to serve and buy a few. We don't have the ability, we can't get into my mother's eyes, let's go. ”
As he spoke, he and Zhang Guihua went hand in hand to make snacks.
Outside the door, Han's father carried the birdcage and swayed into the house. Zhang Guihua smiled and said hello.
"You're whining again?"
Han's mother cried: "Old man, don't blame me, this time it's all the old family's fault." She confronted me, and scattered the servants of the house. ”
"Scattered and scattered, few people are pure. As he spoke, he turned around with the birdcage and went out through the back door to pick them up from school.
"Old man?"
"Mother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have made trouble. ”
"It's none of your business. As long as Han's mother cried, Cheng Yulian knelt at her feet and stayed with her for a long time. Han's mother was moved and helped her sit down, "You child, you are sincere." It's late spring and early summer, and it's cold in the end. Our girl's family is no better than a boy's skin, and she has been hurt by the cold, but she will suffer a big sin. ”
Cheng Yulian obediently knelt on her knees and softly called her mother.
Han's mother's heart softened into a puddle.
"My son, my mother will help you sew clothes. Saying that, I went to look for needlework and thread, rummaged through the cabinets and didn't find it for a long time, and asked Dongmei.
Dongmei: "Old lady, there is no needlework in your room, and you have never been a female celebrity, they are all bought or cut for you by the eldest lady." ”
"Do you have one?"
"Yes, but the slave's needlework is rough,"
"The needle and thread are still divided into superior and inferior grades? Go and bring it, I will borrow it, borrow it, and return it to you after sewing. ”
"Yes. ”
It took a lot of work to sew it up. Cheng Yulian took it and took a look, it was crooked and twisted like a centipede, it was better not to sew.
"Mother, you are so skillful, I don't know how to hold a needle and thread. ”
In Han's mother's heart, female celebrity cooking skills are the first important skill for girls. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "It's amazing, a girl's family can not read and write, but sewing and mending, laundry and cooking are the most important." Ming'er, don't go to learn calligraphy, learn needlework with me. Ah no, my mother's needlework is not good, so I will find your sister-in-law to learn it. She can do needlework with one hand. ”
"Mother, don't talk about my sister like that. Brother Han was not happy when he heard it. ”
"Hmph, after marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother's things, his mother is not rare to him, whether he is happy or not! ”
"Then I'll be with my mother for the rest of my life. ”
"Okay. ”
Han Xuan's hand knocking on the door froze in mid-air, and after a long time, he returned the same way. Is she by nature, or is she lost in the bustle of Kyoto?
The sky was low and misty at night.
