108. Coercion

"That's not good, you have to take care of the dignity of the house, but also the reality of the courtyard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Sydney's righteous words are much more serious than before: "But the second grandmother said, if Mrs. allows, when the winter clothes are allowed, we will receive the fabric and cotton to make our own, and we will not bother the embroidery girl in the house, probably spend less silver, and everyone will have more money at hand." ”

"I'm willing to make my own ......" Chun Cicada said loudly: "The yard used to be too busy, but didn't you ask me to go over and help the embroidery girls." ”

"I'm willing to ...... I'm willing to ...... too," quite a few people raised their hands.

Sydney smiled: "Thanks to the big guys who are reasonable, I heard someone scolding the second grandmother for coming out of a small household a few days ago, and it is not decent to pick and search." She quietly watched everyone's reaction and remembered it in her heart: "But the second grandmother is not to blame in the past." Now everyone understands that what the second grandmother is asking for is not personal decency, but the big guys, the benefits in our yard. She said and aggrieved for the second grandmother: "Who doesn't want to be beautiful in front of people?" But the second grandmother didn't, the money saved, she even posted her monthly routine in it for everyone. But even such a person, there are still people who harbor evil intentions to harm her......" Sydney wiped her tears: "The second grandmother almost died." ”

Someone shouted loudly at the bottom: "Mother Hu is too vicious, she eats the second grandmother's bird's nest and supplements, secretly deducts many shares of the second grandmother, and wants to kill her, it's really unconscionable......

Someone immediately chimed in: "That's it, the little girl who bullies the little girl in the day, Chunxing alone has been beaten more than a dozen times, and she has a daughter herself, how can she do it......"

For a while, everyone was indignant and scolded, and in the midst of the scolding, they heard Sydney say: "The second grandmother is indeed wronged, but who can be innocent?" Maybe Hu's mother thinks that the second grandmother really offended her, and it is not necessarily. So the second grandmother wants me to ask you here today, if anyone is dissatisfied with the second grandmother and doesn't want to stay in Tinglan Courtyard, you can come to me to receive ten taels of silver, and the second grandmother will go back to Madame and give you a good place to go......"

When these words were spoken, the noisy courtyard just now suddenly fell silent, and there was silence for a moment.

Sydney thought there was no, so a mother-in-law stood up slowly: "The slave is old...... " Before she finished speaking, Sydney had already smiled and gave her ten taels of silver: "There will be a new errand tomorrow." ”

Seeing that she was so cheerful and neat, she also stood up after her, and she felt that Tinglan Courtyard had no great future under the jurisdiction of the Chen family, and even Chun Cicada got up: "Sister Sydney, the slave maid thinks that Tinglan Courtyard is now managing its own expenses, and it is a little difficult, so the slave maid should go to another courtyard." ”

Sydney was not ambiguous, and happily gave the silver, and then the meal was dispersed.

He Jiaxian was not surprised after listening to the report in the house, and only told Sydney: "Those who stay are loyal, and I will not treat them badly." ”

If it was before, Sydney would definitely be silent on the surface, and sneered in private, He Jiaxian has always had no ability in her eyes, saying this kind of thing is just a good appearance, who knows what will happen in the future.

But now it's different, the second master is angry for her, and he can pass the children's exam that has not been passed for a few years at once.

As long as the family vigorously cultivates, maybe it is possible in high school in the future, if you divide some assets, even if you divide the family and pass by, it is not as good as the scenery of the upper house, but it is also a solid family to eat and wear, but to take advantage of the hostess's kindness and kindness, so she knelt down and said sincerely: "The slave knows that the second grandmother is kind-hearted, and the slave and maid used to be blinded by lard, and always wanted to please both ends, and now I have awakened to it, the slave and the maid are blessed, so that they can meet a good master, and they are willing to treat the slave and the maid well, and treat the slave and the maid as a person." The slave is willing to serve the second grandmother with all her heart, and hopes that the second grandmother will ignore the past suspicions. ”

He Jiaxian didn't expect Sydney to suddenly show loyalty to her, in fact, she was quite satisfied with Sydney's performance during this period of time, and at this moment she hurriedly helped her up: "You have always been a smart person, I won't say anything superfluous, I will accept this kneeling today." ”

Sydney was overjoyed, got up and respectfully gave He Jiaxian two small salutes before going out to work.

Two days later, one morning, Hongguo came in and whispered: "Second grandma, your mother's family is here, wait at the corner gate." ”

He Jiaxian hurriedly ordered someone to bring in and reply, thinking that it was Aunt Huang, but he didn't expect it to be Sister-in-law Zhang.

Sister-in-law Zhang was still nursing He Changjin at the He family, and when she saw He Jiaxian, her face was full of smiles: "Say hello to the second grandmother." ”

He Jiaxian looked at her enthusiastic face, and suddenly thought of what Fang Yuzhu had reminded that in He Jiahui's matter, the first thing to solve was Sister-in-law Zhang, and suddenly her back was dripping with cold sweat - why was she so careless, she didn't take Fang Yuzhu's advice seriously. I can only pray to myself that it is not like that.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, Sister-in-law Zhang looked at He Jiaxian's polite and unfamiliar cold face, and whispered: "The little woman has something to say to the second grandmother ......" After speaking, her eyes rolled to look at Jixiang and Sydney.

He Jiaxian understood, and motioned for the two of them to step back. Only then did he say to Sister-in-law Zhang: "Let's talk about it." ”

“…… The little woman said hello to the second grandmother! Sister-in-law Zhang and Yan Yuese seemed to sincerely congratulate her: "The third lady is going to tie the knot with Huang Gongzi!" ”

Huang Gongzi? Which Huang Gongzi? He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and after a while, as if his butt had been pricked, he bounced up from the chair: "You said Huang Que?" ”

"Not really." Sister-in-law Zhang smiled: "Speaking of which, Huang Gongzi is not only a little poorer, but he looks like a talent, and his future is immeasurable......"

What kind of talent, what is said to be a foolish thing, but it is just a poor boy with an oil bottle, He Jiaxian said secretly, ignoring Sister-in-law Zhang's clever words, and hurriedly said: "I'll go back ...... now"

"Don't be in a hurry...... Sister-in-law Zhang took a step closer and pressed her on the chair: "The second grandmother is afraid that she won't even be able to drink the wine when she goes back, and the third lady has moved to Huang Gongzi's house and announced that she has broken off contact with the master." ”

……

It's only been a few days, and such a big thing has happened!

But she didn't know anything.

"What about my mother......" Xu will not watch He Jiahui enter the fire pit.

"Madame has long been out of business." Sister-in-law Zhang seemed to see what He Jiaxian wanted to ask, and answered what she wanted to know little by little: "The third lady went to Huang Gongzi's house to live temporarily, and after a month, Huang Gongzi came to the house to propose marriage, and the old man was very angry, saying that he broke off the relationship with the third lady, and drove away Huang Bo and Aunt Huang, and now the little woman is in charge of the yard." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang said that she was a little tired, and went straight to pour herself a cup of tea: "But second grandma, you also know that now the master's case silver is not enough at all, and he can't even drink the wine when he picks and searches, and his wife is sick again, and it costs a lot of silver to take medicine every day." The third lady has something like that again, and the little woman is really unsustainable......"

He Jiaxian digested these things in his heart, and when he heard Sister-in-law Zhang start to get to the point, he sneered and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang just got to the point now." ”

"What did the second grandmother say?" Sister-in-law Zhang smiled: "The little woman is really helpless...... You can't just watch your wife suffer and your lord starve. ”

"I'll go back with you." He Jiaxian got up: "I remember that my father also has dozens of taels of silver in a month, but with four or five people, why is it difficult to continue?" She started to pay for her own profits and losses, and she had an understanding of the basic living standards in ancient times, and knew that according to the living standards of the He family, if she saved some more money, she would still have a surplus every month. Like Chunxing's family, there are many children, and the monthly expenses are only less than 2 taels of silver, even if the He family is at a higher level, but the house is their own, and it is more than ten times more than ten times for a few people to eat, drink, and chew.

Sister-in-law Zhang really stood up and stopped her with a roar: "Second grandma, don't work and respect, the house is now uncared for, and it's dirty...... Where can I find the luxury and cleanliness of Fangfu......"

When He Jiaxian heard this, he sneered: "Since Sister-in-law Zhang is now in charge, why is it dirty?" Is it because Sister-in-law Zhang didn't do a good job? I don't know how many taels of silver Sister-in-law Zhang has a month? ”

Sister-in-law Zhang heard He Jiaxian's questioning tone, and said unhappily: "I am the nurse of the little master, in addition to the housekeeper, I also have to take care of the children, and I only have 4 taels a month......

That's more than most servants. He Jiaxian thought about it for a while, and remembered that Fang Qikai's nurse was only 2 taels a month, and it was still the price of a wealthy family like Fangfu, and Sister-in-law Zhang was not satisfied.

It's just that before she showed dissatisfaction, she heard Sister-in-law Zhang say: "The little woman came over, not to ask the second grandmother to go back, but just to inform the second grandmother that the difficulties of the He family now, don't say anything else, that is, the matter of Miss Guangsan, it is enough for the little woman to have a headache, and the dead ghost in my family, I have to go out to brag and talk big about people all day long, and it is inevitable that one day I will get distracted, and it will not be good......

It turned out that he was really using the matter of He Jiahui and Gu Qingrang to blackmail the silver, He Jiaxian sneered, scolded himself for being stupid, and pretended not to care: "What's wrong?" Sister-in-law Zhang, is this threatening me? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Sister-in-law Zhang didn't smile, seeing that He Jiaxian was not as soft as she thought, but spoke softly: "The little woman is just worried, you don't know, the one in my family is not good, so she likes to drink two sips of wine, and she lacks money to drink for him......"

"How much is missing?" He Jiaxian's mind turned several times.

"No more, no less, just one or two hundred taels." Sister-in-law Zhang was unequivocal, and glanced at the furnishings in the house a few more times: "For the second grandmother, it's not a drop in the bucket." ”

"yes." He Jiaxian sighed: "You go back first, I have to go home in the next two days to have a look, and by the way, I will bring you the silver, and there is not so much cash at the moment." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang saw that He Jiaxian agreed so happily, thinking that she would still have face in a wealthy family, she became more and more proud, and said busily: "Second grandma, don't go back, the silver is ready for the little woman to get it herself, and the lady of the family is sick so as not to be sick to you." ”

He Jiaxian ignored it, asked Hongguo to send her out, sat in the house and was in a state of confusion, after thinking about it, pacing back and forth, and then ordered someone to go back to Chen's, saying that her mother was sick and wanted to go home to see.

The Chen family hurriedly sent Coral over with a gift: "Why didn't anyone know that my in-laws were sick, so let's go and see the illness." He Jiaxian couldn't, so he could only take Coral Jixiang and others and arrange a carriage back.

The door of the courtyard of the He family was closed, and there was no one quietly. He Jiaxian got out of the car and went to the door of Xu's room, only to see Xu's glance, and his eyes were full of tears: he saw Xu's skinny skinny, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was yellow, and his expression was shriveled, like an old woman in her sixties and seventies.

On the table on the side, there is a bowl of cold Chinese medicine, half a bowl of millet porridge, and a few green vegetables.

Hearing the sound, Xu Shi opened his eyes with difficulty, probably afraid of light, and stretched out his skinny hand to cover it, only then did he squint his eyes and see clearly that it was He Jiaxian, and the speechless tears flowed first: "Jiaxian, Jiaxian......"

He Jiaxian hurriedly held back tears and rushed to her bed to hold her hand, and listened to Xu's hurry: "You persuade your sister, persuade her to ......"

He Jiaxian nodded, knowing that this was not a good family business, and marrying into such a poor family, He Jiahui was only afraid that he would have endless hard lives in the future. Moreover, Aunt Huang knows about He Jiahui and Gu Qingrang, if she tells Huang Que, which man can tolerate this in his heart?

Huang Que is still willing to come to propose marriage, but I'm afraid I don't know.

Xu pushed her out: "You go now, go now, Huang Que's family is more than 20 miles into the mountains in the eastern suburbs, your father is angry, and he wants to cut off the future of Huang Que's scientific expedition, the two of them are together, there will be no good results......"

He Jiaxian reluctantly glanced at Xu a few times, and when he went out, Chunjiao came up with the child in her arms and looked at her coldly: "Why didn't the second aunt and grandmother say hello when they came back?" ”

"Oh, I'm supposed to be no one in this yard." He Jiaxian was also not happy, the Xu family became like this, and the He family declined like this, which has a lot to do with He Jiahui, but Chunjiao is not less disturbed.

"Why is there no one, isn't Sister-in-law Zhang here?" Chunjiao mouthed Nunu at the door, and found that Sister-in-law Zhang was holding a child less than a year old, the little girl was thin, her eyes were timid, and she shrank in Sister-in-law Zhang's arms and didn't dare to look at people.

Sister-in-law Zhang was a little embarrassed: "Why did the second grandmother come back so soon?" The little woman pondered that there would be tomorrow. She heard Chunjiao say that Chen's handling of He Jiaxian was very good, and she thought that it would not be so easy to let her go out, so she went home to pick up her own child and came over to take it with her while working.

"Fangfu is not close to here, of course I can walk faster than you in the car." He Jiaxian said coldly, looking at Chunjiao's face with a hint of surprise, squinting at Sister-in-law Zhang, and not speaking again.

It's just that when she got into the carriage, she thought of Sister-in-law Zhang and Chunjiao's appearance, after all, she couldn't let go of her heart, look at Sydney, Jixiang and Sango, she was the most relieved to leave Jixiang to take care of Xu's family, but if she brought Coral to Huang Quan's house, it was difficult to guarantee that the news would leak again......

After hesitating, Jixiang had already taken the initiative to say: "Second grandmother, the slave and maid are not very good at looking at the lady, there is no one around to take care of it, the slave and maid are here to take care of it, if you go home, send someone to change the slave and maid back." ”
