Chapter Fifty-Eight: Taking Advantage of the Crowd's Momentum to Settle the Dust (Part II)
From Su Yunjiao's pull out the "taste", the old lady's face was a little heavy, and she didn't say anything for a while, Su Yunjiao saw it, knew that it was feasible, so she made up her mind and pushed this topic to Lichun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The authorities are confused, and the words of the second aunt are very reasonable, and the gradual changes that have accumulated over time are indeed imperceptible. However, Sister Lichun has been with the old lady for many years, and I have heard the old lady praise you for being careful, I wonder if Sister Lichun has noticed any abnormalities in the old lady's diet recently?"
When Lichun heard this, he pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "The old lady is not unusual. ”
Mother He smiled secretly in her heart, the seventh girl made a mistake this time, no matter how greedy she was, she didn't dare to fight the idea of Shou Songtang, clinker, Mother He's heart had not been completely let go, Lichun frowned again, and added worriedly: "It's just ...... The old lady has not had a good appetite recently, and she is becoming less and less inclined to tea and rice. ”
Su Yunjiao looked at the old lady's increasingly gloomy face, and knew that her goal had been accomplished, and the old lady would never let this matter go lightly, and when the second aunt added another fire, it would be almost over!
Xiao Jiang heard what Lichun said, and her complexion also changed, the old lady was her biggest backer, she didn't expect that Mother He was so bold that even the old lady would dare to fool her.
And Mother He's face turned pale, and she was faintly proud, but she was gone, and she said in disbelief: "How can this be, how can it be so!"
The ingredients used in Shou Songtang are all carefully selected, how can this be? Someone must have framed her, Mother He raised her head suddenly, and opened her mouth to shout again, but when she saw Lichun standing in front of her, she showed a smile that seemed to be a smile to her, and Mother He immediately understood that it was premeditated!
Mother He sat on the ground with a soft body, it seemed that she couldn't escape, she looked sideways at Xiao Jiang's side, and when she saw Xiao Jiang's gaze, she glared at her fiercely to show threat, and then quickly turned her head. Mother He looked at the old lady sitting on the seat again, and smiled bitterly, at this time, if Xiao Jiang's confession is made, not only will it be useless, but I am afraid it will backfire!
The old lady still didn't speak, her gloomy face was enough to show the old lady's anger, the old lady didn't speak, no one wanted to say more, the scene was very depressing, and at this moment, the maid Lidong came in and reported: "The eldest lady is here, waiting outside the hall." ”
"She's coming fast. The old lady closed her eyes, and finally spoke, "Let her come close!"
After a while, a **** with a round bun and a hosta walked in, walked in front of the old lady and saluted respectfully, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law greets the old lady." ”
The old lady looked at her and then at the room full of people, and her anger rose from her heart, and her tone was not good: "What are you please, the people in this room, how do you want me to be well!"
Venting her anger together, the old lady rested, and then asked, "Since you are here, you should know what is going on in the mansion, how is the kitchen?"
As for the old lady's attitude, Wang has long been accustomed to it, and he is not satisfied, so he replied unhurriedly: "As soon as the daughter-in-law heard the news, she sent someone to the kitchen to check the situation, and now she has sent someone to clean up the kitchen, and temporarily ordered a few people to buy ingredients for compradors on the street, and there is no big problem." ”
The old lady bowed her head slightly when she heard this, although this eldest daughter-in-law did not like her, but she really did not have the ability to do things, so she raised her hand and pointed to the kneeling people standing under the hall, and said, "The rest is also handed over to you, I am tired." ”
Su Yunjiao and the Jin family couldn't wait for this, but Xiao Jiang's heart chuckled, looking at the old lady's appearance, didn't he want to care anymore?
"Yes. Wang replied respectfully, not surprised by the old lady's behavior, but asked again: "Can you let your daughter-in-law ask first, what the seventh girl said is true?"
The old lady leaned back on the soft pillow behind her, and said casually: "It's not as good as before." ”
Wang Shi understood, his eyes swept towards Mother He, thought for a while, and then said: "Mother He went to the post of kitchen manager, played 20 boards, and was expelled from the house." ”
The rest of the people knew about He's mother's behavior and did not report it, but they thought that her circumstances were excusable, and in order to make a big mistake, they were fined three months of money to set an example. ”
"However, the kitchen cannot be left without ......a leader for a day," Wang paused, glanced at Jin inadvertently, and then narrowed his gaze, and continued, "Sister-in-law Tian is fearless and powerful this time, and her performance is very good, and she is an old man in the house, she has worked in the kitchen for many years, and her character and skills are excellent, so this position of steward will be taken over by Sister-in-law Tian." ”
"Thank you, Madame. It was really an unexpected joy, Sister-in-law Tian immediately kowtowed and thanked her, and her face was hard to hide her joy.
Wang nodded lightly to her, and then asked the Jin family and the little Jiang family: "With such a decision, can the second brother and sister and the fifth brother and sister have any objections?"
The tone is gentle, but it cannot be questioned.
The Jin family got the benefit, and they were not dissatisfied, but the little Jiang family was extremely unhappy, and said in a strange voice: "Sister-in-law's decision, we will obey it, but sister-in-law, don't forget, there are still a group of troublemakers who have not been punished!"
Wang's eyes did not move, and he smiled calmly: "Naturally, it will also be punished." He glanced at the maids and said, "The master was impulsive, but instead of dissuading you, you followed the coaxing, although you are the protector, but it is too much, and you will be fined half a year's money!"
After Su Yunjiao heard this, a look of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on her face, and she pursed her lips and shouted: "They are all my maids, so naturally they want to listen to me, this is all my idea, what is the eldest aunt punishing them?"
It seems that there is a-for-tat trend with Wang.
Xiao Jiang smiled when he saw it, and added fire to it: "Sister-in-law, this punishment is too light, how can these maids remember? ”
Whether Su Yunjiao is really dissatisfied or falsely dissatisfied, it is not yet known, but this little Jiang is really dissatisfied.
"What do the fifth siblings think?" asked Wang.
Xiao Jiang sneered: "In my opinion, they can't stay around the seven girls anymore, and if they don't, they will take the seven girls crookedly, so it's better to punish them to the laundry garden, let them suffer some hardships, and have a better memory!"
When those little maids heard Xiao Jiang's words, they immediately panicked, and shouted to the seven girls, counting on Su Yunjiao to intercede for them.
Su Yunjiao looked at them, unmoved, but her face was even more angry, and shouted at the Wang family regardless of it: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and the eldest aunt can only punish me." Then, he turned his head to Xiao Jiang: "I know that the fifth uncle and aunt are uncomfortable, and I don't need to take them to be angry, just come directly at me!"
It was like a posture of making trouble to the end if she didn't follow it, and the old lady above saw it in her eyes and was very disgusted with Su Yunjiao's style.
"Seven girls, how do you speak......"
Seeing that Su Yunjiao was about to quarrel with the little Jiang family, the old lady suddenly said: "According to what the fifth daughter-in-law said, punish them to go to the Laundry Garden!"
"Old lady!" Su Yunjiao wanted to say more, but was cut off by Xiao Jiang: "Old lady, I thought that the seven girls would also be punished, although Mother He's matter can be regarded as a merit of the seven girls, but the merit is not worth it, and the fact of smashing the kitchen is too much!"
Seeing the old lady's words of help, Xiao Jiang's mind became active again. Wang and Jin looked at each other, both sighed and shook their heads, but they were happy that the overall situation had been decided.
The old lady frowned slightly, as if she was hesitating, not wanting Wang to say at this time: "It should be punished." ”
Su Yunjiao lowered her head and smiled secretly, and secretly exchanged glances with the Wang family, and then snorted heavily, and said angrily: "I brought these maids to make trouble, and since they have all been punished, of course I can't escape." However, it's not fair to punish me alone, the fifth uncle should accompany me!"
"Why should I accompany you to be punished?" Xiao Jiang felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Su Yunjiao explained with a smile: "I was punished because I behaved out of line, and secondly, because I was not strict with my subordinates and connived at the maid's misdeeds;
"You ......" Xiao Jiang was extremely angry, not wanting Su Yunjiao to dare to hit the idea here, "There is a big event in the house, how can you allow this yellow-haired girl to talk nonsense!"
"Why should the fifth uncle be angry, Yun Jiao is also thinking about you. Su Yunjiao smiled with great concern, "I see that you are dark and green now, it must be that you have been worrying a lot recently, and your mind is restless and causes insomnia at night, and your mind is in a trance. ”
"Wait. Xiao Jiang said angrily, "Why are there so many mistakes? Seven girls, you can't talk nonsense!"
The Jin family hurriedly opened his mouth to help, and said good things for the little Jiang family: "Yes, the fifth brother and sister have always been meticulous in their work, and Mother He's incident is just an accident, don't talk nonsense about the seven girls." ”
"Didn't the second aunt's maid complain to the second aunt that this year's new clothes have not been distributed?" Su Yunjiao was very puzzled, her fingers played with her hair, and asked Xiao Jiang, "Could it be that Yunjiao made a mistake, and the new clothes are not in the hands of the fifth uncle?"
"This," Xiao Jiang said word after word, and she didn't know how to say it, because she had really forgotten about this matter to the horizon, if Su Yunjiao hadn't mentioned it now, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Although the old lady did not speak, she saw everything in her eyes, and the little Jiang family was distracted by the Su Ko scarlet mother and daughter, and her recent performance was really dissatisfied, but after all, the little Jiang family was her niece, and the old lady was still unwilling to replace her.
When the old lady hesitated, Jin smiled and said: "The New Year is approaching, there are many things in the house, and the five brothers and sisters can understand it if they are careless for a while, and the seven girls don't need to be so serious." ”
Jin's words sounded like he was interceding with Xiao Jiang, but the old lady listened to it with a different idea.
"Seven girls, what you say is reasonable. ”
When Kim heard this, her smile deepened, and what she wanted had been achieved. The old lady is a person who wants to save face, so naturally she is not allowed to make any mistakes in front of outsiders, and there are many people during the Chinese New Year, and Xiao Jiang can no longer reassure her old man.
"Old lady!" Xiao Jiang didn't expect the old lady to say this, and exclaimed.
The old lady ignored her this time, but pondered for a while, and said, "The seven girls will be punished for copying scriptures in the Enlightened Pavilion until the New Year." The fifth daughter-in-law...... Let's rest for a while and take care of the things in the room. ”
"As for the housekeeper. The old lady looked at the Wang family and said, "Sister Hua'er's marriage is almost busy, right?"
Speaking of his daughter, Wang's eyes softened, and he said with a smile: "Everything is ready, and the rest doesn't need to worry about the daughter-in-law." ”
The old lady nodded and said, "You will have to worry about all the housework during the year." ”
"The old lady is serious, it's all the daughter-in-law's business. Wang responded with a smile, no surprise or joy, and everyone had the demeanor of everyone.
The old lady didn't look at her, turned her head to the Jin family and said, "The second family also helps more." ”
"Yes. "With the old lady's words, Jin was happy in his heart.
"Alright. The old lady waved her hand and sighed, "I am also tired, so you all go down." ”
"Yes. ”
The voice is generally the same, but who is happy and who is worried in the inside, everyone knows by themselves.
Of course, Su Yunjiao must be the happy side, even if she didn't escape the punishment, she was already very satisfied with the ending.
This small turmoil in the Mansion of the Marquis of Wenchang has ended perfectly, and somewhere thousands of miles away from Beijing, a barely wonderful first sight is happening, and further north of it, there is also a delicate conversation about to unfold.
Jiaojiao is also an acting school
