Chapter 337: Forcibly retract the stewardship
As soon as the news of Ma Xiuying summoning the stewards and servants came out, Guo Hui and Guo Ninglian came to the main courtyard to investigate the situation as soon as possible, and saw her flipping through the account books one by one, and Steward Ding was standing beside her, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and persuaded one after another: "My sister's body has not been well raised, how can she do these energy-consuming things?"
Guo Ninglian tasted the sweetness of power, but Guo Hui was released, Zhu Yuanzhang still asked the two of her to assist Ma Xiuying in taking care of the housework, the two were fighting openly and secretly, Ma Xiuying suddenly intervened, all their hard work will come to naught, can you not be in a hurry?
Ma Xiuying was too lazy to talk to the two of them, and said directly: "Some time ago, I was recuperating from my injuries and was idle for a while, thanks to my two younger sisters helping to take care of the housework, I am almost recovered now, and I don't feel tired when I look at these account books." Besides, you all have bodies, and the more you will work in the coming months, the harder it will be, so don't worry about the trivial things in the house. ”
Guo Hui and Guo Ninglian looked at each other, and those who had tasted the taste of controlling power were unwilling to give up the power in their hands, so even if they were pregnant, they still refused to recuperate with peace of mind, and they still wanted to firmly grasp the housekeeping power in their hands.
But Ma Xiuying is the mother of the house, and it is her responsibility to take care of the feed, she just doesn't talk about pregnancy, and she can't refute the two of them if she directly asks for the right to be recovered.
Guo Ninglian has always been a little afraid of Ma Xiuying, and when she saw her cold face and calm expression, she snorted a few times and didn't say anything more.
Guo Hui is still unwilling, she finally managed to consolidate and stabilize the forces she controlled before, and in the past few months, she has been calling for wind and rain in the mansion, and the servants dare not obey. Although she is a side concubine, who is not respectful to her who comes to visit the wife of the hundred officials, except that she can't wear Zhenghong Ji clothes and insert phoenix hairpins, the treatment she enjoys is almost no different from that of the concubine. What's more, under her instructions, the servants deliberately spoiled Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, seeing that both of them were raised crookedly, Ma Xiuying suddenly took back her rights at this time, so wouldn't the treatment she enjoyed and her plan to kill Zhu Fan and Zhu Di all come to naught?
She bit her lip and said unwillingly: "My sister's injury is so serious, how can she completely recover in just a few months, in case my sister overworks and the old disease recurs, how can my little sister explain to the prince." ”
Ma Xiuying slammed the account book in her hand and sneered: "Are you cursing me for never being good?"
She was upset when she saw Guo Hui, almost all the bad things in the house were related to Guo Hui, this woman was making waves all day long, if she wasn't pregnant, Ma Xiuying really wanted to put her in the Buddhist hall again.
Guo Hui hurriedly explained, "Little sister doesn't mean this, little sister is worried about her sister, and the prince also wants to ......"
"I'll tell him over there, just take care of the chores in your hand. Ma Xiuying interrupted Guo Hui's words and looked at her sarcastically, I don't know what this woman thinks in her head, she has been favored by Zhu Yuanzhang for a few days, and no one is in her eyes, "Is it that I, the princess, can't order you?"
How dare Guo Hui admit it, "It's not like this......"
Ma Xiuying deliberately ignored her on one side of her face, and did not listen to her defense, and said to Guo Ninglian: "Continue to manage what you have in your hand in advance, and when I hand over Concubine Hui's affairs clearly, you will report again." ”
"Oh, oh, Ning Lian obeyed her sister's orders. Guo Ninglian responded vaguely, secretly glad that Ma Xiuying lifted herself to step on Guo Hui. Guo Hui's stupid woman is so arrogant that she even forgot that there is a Ma Xiuying above her, who should listen to her orders, this will deserve to be humiliated by Ma Xiuying.
Xun Ying looked at Guo Hui with disdain, this woman wants to be crazy for power, and she uses Zhu Yuanzhang to press Ma Xiuying, and she doesn't look at who is the main mother in this house. Don't look at Ma Xiuying's usual talking, she really wants to be powerful, even Zhu Yuanzhang has to give three points,
Guo Hui's blood was surging, Ma Xiuying was slapping her face with every word, and she was slapping in front of so many people, telling her how to behave in the house in the future. No, she wants to quickly find Zhu Yuanzhang to tell her grievances, and it is best to keep the power in her hands.
However, before her thoughts were finished, Ma Xiuying's indifferent voice came from her ears.
"Steward Ding, I have read the account books of the past few months, and there is generally no problem, but the expenses of individual yards are excessive, you see that the gouache and rouge are actually more than 1,000 taels, is it gold powder? The weight of bird's nest and shark fin is gone in three days in a week, why is this? The prince is frugal by nature, and he is the most unruly and greedy for ink, I heard that there are officials who are greedy for ink and 100 taels are executed by the prince, or peel the skin......
"Villain, no, no greedy ink...... Yes, it's ......" Steward Ding's legs trembled, he couldn't speak, and his eyes kept glancing at Guo Hui.
Guo Hui didn't dare to be greedy anymore, and he spent hard with a big belly, and everything was the most expensive and best. I want shark fin today, bird's nest tomorrow, and I can't finish eating it, so I don't feel distressed at all. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that she was so spoiled with food, and told Steward Ding that she should be more generous to a few pregnant women and be more relaxed in her monthly expenses, so Guo Hui spent money like water in the past few months, and no one dared to say a word.
But her good days came to an abrupt end today, Ma Xiuying smiled kindly and amiably, but what she said was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart, "Steward Ding, you are an old man in the house, how can I not believe you." However, there are no rules, and the expenses of each yard must be within the normal range in the future, and if there are more than two hundred taels of expenses, they must report to me. Of course, if someone is willing to pay for it themselves, we don't care. If someone is not convinced, and you call her to me, I will see if she wants to eat gold or swallow silver. ”
Xun Ying couldn't help laughing, swallowing gold and eating silver, Ma Xiuying is describing someone as Pixiu.
The servants didn't dare to laugh, and they all lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders.
Guo Hui's face turned purple, his slender nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he left in a hurry under the pretext of being unwell. Ma Xiuying humiliated her so much today, she must take revenge in the future.
Guo Ninglian sighed quietly, fortunately she didn't intend to go against Ma Xiuying, otherwise Guo Hui was not the only one who was humiliated today. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, she would have no other ideas, and she would honestly count the items and hand over the chores when she went back.
Ma Xiuying's decision was quickly notified to the various courtyards, and the concubines and servants of each room immediately kept to themselves, and did not dare to make all kinds of excessive demands on the housekeeper.
The princess is really going to take care of things! Confirming this news, the servants who befriended Guo Hui and Guo Ninglian changed their faces one after another, and only listened to Ma Xiuying's orders, while some of the servants who were cheating and playing tricks were even more energetic and rushed to work, for fear of being found out by Ma Xiuying and severely punished.
The happiest thing is Xunying, Ma Xiuying doesn't make a move, and she makes a lot of noise. And she pays attention to the house, and she will never think about secretly leaving the house because she is worried about the world.
