Chapter XXIII: Stewardship
Qin Yue came back from Duan Guogong's Mansion, he was so tired that he was panting, lying on the bed for a long time and didn't want to move.
Those black-clothed people were really bold, and they actually dared to sneak into Duan Guogong's mansion to assassinate them. If it weren't for her and Qin Fen meeting by chance tonight, I was afraid that those thieves would have succeeded.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
The skills of the man in black are not bad, and the guard strength of the Duanguo Mansion is really weak, Qin Yue is not at ease in the end, so Qin Fen sent the capable brothers in the mansion to support in the shadows.
When it was dawn, Qing Ying came in with the things to freshen up and waited for the fifth lady to freshen up, and she didn't say much about it, and after freshening up, she went to Jiang's place for breakfast as usual, and then accompanied Jiang to the old lady to say goodbye.
Because of yesterday's training, Jiang felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to make up a reason not to go to Jingyi Hospital, but he couldn't withstand his daughter's persuasion, so he was dragged away.
When passing by the * courtyard, I happened to meet Duan's leading Sister Yu and Sister Wan out of the house.
Qin Yue stepped forward and called sweetly: "Hello aunt!"
Jiang Shi thought about the appearance of the Duan family yesterday, his face was a little unsightly, and he stood there without making a sound.
Duan's head touched Qin Yue's head as if nothing had happened, "Sister Yue's good girl!" and greeted Jiang with a smile: "Third brother and sister early!"
Jiang reluctantly responded.
Qin Yue greeted Sister Qin Yu again.
Qin Yu pulled her aside and asked quietly, "How is it?"
Qin Yue whispered in her ear, and Qin Yu nodded frequently when she heard it, with a smile on her face.
Here, the Duan family and the Jiang family said a few words, and then walked to Jingyi Courtyard together. The three sisters followed, chattering and muttering, followed by a maid who slipped away.
Arrived at Jingyi-in.
The old lady was already sitting in the warm pavilion, Qi was helping her press her shoulder, and Song was sitting on the brocade next to her to talk to her.
Duan and Jiang hurriedly led their daughter forward to salute.
It seems that the old lady is in a good mood, and she did not embarrass the Jiang family because of yesterday's incident, so she instructed Mama Liu to make good tea and chatter with her daughters-in-law as usual.
Qin Yu couldn't hold back the matter, so she directly begged the old lady to give her the thousand-year-old ginseng and use it to save the third uncle.
The old lady's face was a little displeased.
Qin Yue knew that it was going to be bad.
The eldest sister is also too anxious, don't you let her calm down and find the right opportunity to talk about it...... Alas, really, there are no god-like opponents, only pig-like teammates!
Although she complained in her heart, Qin Yue had to help her eldest sister speak, so she pouted and said, "That ginseng was specially given to my grandmother by the emperor's uncle to recuperate, how can I give it to outsiders at will?"
"Big sister, what kind of disease does your third uncle have? Why do you have to use thousand-year-old ginseng as a medicine?"
Qin Yu didn't seem to expect the fifth sister to turn her face and say such a thing, she was so angry that her face turned red, and she was afraid that others would not believe what she said, so she said angrily: "How do I know? ”
Duan's face immediately became uncomfortable.
The old lady did get a thousand-year-old ginseng rewarded by the emperor, but as Sister Yue said, it was the emperor's filial piety to the old lady, how could she offend the old lady for the sake of the third brother?
Besides, she didn't know what kind of disease the third brother had, she didn't believe in Brother Lobby's words very much, but fortunately, Brother Lobby expanded the third brother's condition.
So at that time, he politely refused Brother Lobby, thinking that as long as he went back to the Duanguo Mansion and understood the matter clearly, he would make plans, but he didn't expect his daughter to stab in front of the old lady.
At this moment, the old lady asked her about this, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you haven't told me about this." ”
Duan's heart said humbly: "It was also my mother's business, and I always troubled my mother, and I didn't want to go." Besides, I wasn't sure that I would use thousand-year-old ginseng, so I didn't open my mouth. ”
The old lady glanced at her and reprimanded with a calm face: "Is your face important or Brother Chen'er's life important?"
Duan was speechless when asked, so he had to bow his head and remain silent.
The old lady said again: "Don't say it's a ginseng plant, even if you move all the medicinal materials of the entire Guogong Mansion, as long as you can save Brother Chen, my wife won't feel distressed!
"Mother, that's not the case, the daughter-in-law wants to go back to see the situation first, and then come back to ask her mother for help!" Duan's face was full of grievances, and he explained weakly.
It's a pity that the old lady was extremely dissatisfied with her, and she didn't listen to her explanation at all, so she slammed the teacup on a few sides and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you have made too many mistakes these days, and you really need to reflect on it." I see, the power of this housekeeper will be in the hands of the second daughter-in-law for the time being. When you figure it out one day, come to my wife and say. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Qin Yue was surprised.
Duan's face turned pale with anger, and his lips trembled for a long time without saying a word.
The Song family, who got cheap, hurriedly stood up and saluted the old lady, and said, "How can this be done? The daughter-in-law has never managed the house, so she may not be able to manage it well." The mother is in charge of herself, and the daughter-in-law is willing to help. ”
The old lady glared at her and said, "With the help of my wife, how can you not manage it well?
Song responded with a smile.
Jiang has been silent. From the time I entered the house until now, I have not said a word.
In this case, the Qi family did not intervene, and hugged his good sister to the side as an invisible person.
Sister Wan was so frightened that she was about to cry. For as long as she can remember, her mother has been the housekeeper in the backyard of this house, but she didn't expect her grandmother's words to give the housekeeper power to her second aunt, and she was scared and sad.
Sister Yu blamed herself even more, if she didn't ask her grandmother to use ginseng to save her third uncle, wouldn't her mother be seized of power? Hmph, I'm afraid that the second aunt will give her mother eye medicine in front of her grandmother.
Sister Yu thought about it and shot her hateful gaze at the Song family.
Song Shi felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
Qin Yue looked coldly from the side, it was none of her business, she hung high, she was never the kind-hearted person.
The old lady then instructed Mama Wu to go to the treasury to get the ginseng, and explained that she would let Steward Sun in the front yard personally send it to Duanguo Mansion.
Duan's heart held his breath, and he saluted the old lady hastily with a cold face, and dragged Sister Yu and Sister Wan out of the yard.
followed the Qi family and left with a good sister.
Song stayed to listen to the old lady teach the housekeeper experience.
When Jiang was about to take his daughter away, the old lady stopped her: "Third daughter-in-law, you also stay and listen to it, you can't say that you will use it in the future." ”
Jiang hesitated slightly, and then sat back in his seat, still with a calm expression on his face.
Qin Yue quietly pulled her mother's hand on the side, glanced at her several times, and then turned around and saluted her grandmother, and then walked outside Jingyi Courtyard.
