78. Chapter 78
Youhan was still smiling at first, couldn't stand the persecution, and said in a low voice: "The second lady heard that the eldest lady likes to eat fried chestnuts with sugar, so she specially bought a lot of raw chestnuts and came back, thinking about peeling the skin and frying them again, so she peeled a few catties of chestnuts at night...... The hand was cut by the chestnut skin, and when the chestnuts were fried, they were splashed with oil......"
"Sugar-fried chestnuts ......" Yuan was speechless, but his heart was a little warm, and he held Zhao Silian's hand and said: "Silly boy, where can I buy sugar-fried chestnuts, I want you to fry them for me personally!" ā
The two clearly staged a mother-daughter relationship, but in the eyes of the two women in Zhao Mansion, it was very touching.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao glanced at each other, and suddenly shook their heads: Zhao Silian has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, not to mention sugar-fried chestnuts, she has never washed a single piece of clothing, and later she arrived in Jinling, and there were several maids around her, Zhao Chengyun took care of her as a treasure in her hand, and was reluctant to move a finger of her. But today, Song Yanzhu wants to fry chestnuts for others to please his aunt! The taste under the fence is like people drinking water and knowing it, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is a great distress.
A few days ago, I heard the lady of Beppu mention that the Song lady Yuan received half of the niece's money, and the niece followed her to serve in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and was more filial than her own daughter. Now it seems that where is filial piety, it is clearly to treat people as maids!
The faces of the two ladies gradually lowered, and Yuan Shi felt that something was wrong, and scolded with a cold face: "Useless things, a tea can still hurt the two young ladies, what use do I want from you!" Don't hurry down and go to the family law by yourself! ā
As soon as I heard the word family law, I had to go back to the chess for a while, and I was desperate at the moment. Zhao Silian stopped in front of him and pleaded: "Aunt let go of Sister Chess, Sister Chess has been serving in the house for the past few days, Sister Chess has been serving inch by inch, and she has never made any big mistakes, and it is not intentional to ......miss today."
turned back to Shiqi and said, "Sister Shiqi, tell your aunt quickly, you didn't mean it!" ā
Yuan's face was a little pale, and he sighed and said to Zhao Silian: "Uncle knows that you have always been kind-hearted and extremely generous to your subordinates, but today she is so careless, if you have a case, how can I explain to your father and mother, and how to explain to your two aunts!" ā
At this moment, the two ladies of the Zhao family are already just watching the play, sitting quietly on the side, are they singing or not singing this play?
Yuan secretly sighed in his heart, and drank with a cold face: "If you don't go quickly, don't you want me to do it!" ā
Eyes swept away, the mother-in-law next to him understood, and was about to go up to the fork to serve chess, Zhao Silian grabbed her with her backhand, and somehow grabbed her sleeve, only to hear the sound of "clang", a silver bracelet of skein fell from the sleeve of the chess, and fell to the ground.
Song Huanzhu dodged the silver bracelet of the chess, and asked Zhao Silian, "What's wrong?" ā
Zhao Silian's face changed slightly, and she was about to shake her head, when the maid stepped forward and said, "Sister Chess, this is Miss's bracelet, why is it in your hand?" ā
Shi Qi's face turned gray in an instant, and there was a bang in his head: "The slave doesn't know, this is not the slave's ......"
"Of course it's not my sister's, it's my miss's!" Youhan smiled sarcastically, and Zhao Silian shouted: "Youhan, don't say it again!" ā
"What can't be said!" Mrs. Zhao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood in front of everyone and said to Zhao Sipian: "My Zhao Mansion has always had a strict family style, but the children of the family want to be worthy of the world, worthy of their hearts, and they can do everything to say to others!" Why are you hiding it? ā
Her words are really insinuating, referring to Sang and scolding Huai!
Zhao Silian wanted to stop again, with tears in her eyes, she knelt down in front of Yuan and said: "Big lady, my young lady is kind, she won't say a word even if she breaks her teeth, and swallows it in her stomach. After speaking, she kowtowed and said: "That day, Miss moved to Miss Xi'er's yard, and the eldest lady loved my young lady, so she specially assigned Zhao's mother and two sisters to serve the chess, and the two sisters of the painting served the young lady......
"Youhan!" Zhao Silian shouted angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, go back to the house with the two aunts today!" I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you here! ā
"Miss let the slave and maid finish speaking, even if the slave and maid die, the slave and maid will not say a word!" Youhan bent down.
Yuan never expected this situation to occur at this juncture, his face was only blue and white for a while, and he only hated that he didn't listen to the old lady's words that day, and he blasted the chess out of the door directly, and today he actually broke into a big disaster and lost his face. The arrow was on the string, but she couldn't keep it a secret, she could only grimace and stubbornly said: "Youhan, you keep talking!" ā
Youhan said softly: "Gradually, the things on the dressing table of the young lady gradually disappeared, the comb is missing today, a pair of earrings is missing tomorrow, the slave is suspicious that it was taken away by others, but the young lady only said that it was okay." Several sisters are lazy and lazy, Miss often asks for a cup of hot water and no one cares, Miss secretly wipes her tears every night, and the slaves and maids all see it and want to sue the eldest lady, but the young lady does not let the slave and maid say, she said, I am afraid that the eldest lady will know that she will be sad, and she is even more afraid that the eldest lady will be embarrassed! ā
Halfway through the words, Zhao Silian's tears were full of tears, and they fell to the ground silently.
As her tears fell, she trembled as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and knelt on the ground with a puff and shook her head: "Mrs. Mingjian, although the slave and maid are not good, in the end they have served by the side of the lady for so many years, and the slave and maid's character Mrs. naturally knows a thing or two, saying that the slave and the maid are lazy, if they steal the master's things, it is to give the slave and the maid 10,000 guts, and the slave and the maid will never dare!" ā
"......" Yuan was hesitating, a cold light flashed in Zhao Silian's lowered eyes, but his words were aggrieved: "Maybe there is a misunderstanding...... Li'er didn't understand why my silver bracelet fell out of my sister's sleeve. ā
Mrs. Zhao had a fiery temper, so she immediately lowered her face and asked Yuan: "Just now that Dr. Song said that he treats Pian Er like his own child, could it be that there are subordinates who bully Miss Song like this, and Mrs. Song is also so indifferent?" ā
Second Mrs. Zhao was gentle, secretly pulled Mrs. Zhao over, and said with a smile: "It's just a silver bracelet, can Si Lian still wronged this maid?" As for those combs and earrings, they can't run away on their own with long legs, since Youhan said, search the houses of those mothers-in-law and maids, and you can find them. Maybe it will be clear then, what does Madame think? ā
Yuan's face turned cold a little, and he only felt that today's events were full of strangeness. The matter has come to this point, but there is no way to hide it, so it can only announce with a cold face, "Search the house!" ā
This room was too lively, someone had already notified the Jin family and the Rong family, and even the old lady got the news in the house, and led people to Zhao Silian's house.
Zhao Jiuqing attached to Song Yanzhu's ear and said: "There is always a drama to watch when you come out, if you hide in the house, how boring it is." ā
Song Yanzhu looked at Zhao Jiuqing with some astonishment, could it be that Zhao Jiuqing was a fairy prophet, and he knew that something big would happen here?
It's just that why Zhao Silian suddenly attacked a maid, she has never been able to figure this out.
When the old lady heard the news, she stood in the room with anger on her face, and everyone hurried forward to salute her. Zhao Silian wiped her tears and pulled the old lady's sleeve and said, "The poor child is not filial, and he wants to alarm the elders." It's not a big deal, but I ask my grandmother to persuade my aunt, so forget it! ā
The old lady's face was gloomy, Mrs. Zhao looked indifferent, although the second lady Zhao smiled gently, she didn't persuade half a sentence, and when she saw the old lady, she only said one sentence: "This is a family affair of the Song Mansion, my sister-in-law and I shouldn't be involved, let's avoid it." ā
Talking about leaving. Yuan Shi looked at the two of them and only felt panicked in his heart: if he said that he wanted to avoid it, he should avoid it. Didn't say that she bullied Zhao Silian, and the other mentioned yƬ searched the house, and waited until the old lady arrived to say that she wanted to avoid it, didn't she slap herself in the face in front of the old lady, there were no three hundred taels of silver here?
The old lady's expression changed slightly, and she said with a cold face: "Li'er is your niece, and you are also in a hurry." What's more, we are a family, if this matter is not settled, I will not have the face to face you! The two of you go to the warm pavilion and sit for a while, I will definitely give you an explanation! ā
At the moment, the Jin family and the Rong family led the two wives and a few young ladies to Xinuan Pavilion, and the Jin family glanced at Song Yanzhu and said, "You are lining up here, don't let your grandmother be angry." ā
Song Yanzhu nodded, and the old lady waved her hand, letting the maids and mothers beside her go into battle to search for Zhao Silian's Nuan Xiangyuan.
After just a stick of incense, the mother-in-law turned the warm incense garden upside down, in addition to Zhao Silian's lost personal belongings, and found a lot of jewelry from Zhao's mother and Shiqin's house.
Zhao's mother and Shiqin knelt on the ground and trembled, and the remaining little maids also lowered their heads to wipe their tears, not daring to cry at all.
Song Yanzhu looked at the things found with a cold eye, and sighed secretly in his heart: Yuan's housekeeper has never been strict, and he is even more biased towards the mother-in-law and maid in his house, and there is always some news of stealing chickens and dogs, and Yuan's never takes it to heart. In the long run, the mother-in-law and maid at the bottom will be bold, and the master's food and application, maybe the master has not used it, and the maid and mother-in-law have already touched it. Xu didn't dare in front of the Yuan family, but he ran into Zhao Silian, this helpless phoenix who had lost his hair in their eyes, and naturally wanted to handle it at will.
More than half of those things were saved in the past, but they were all copied out, and Zhao Silian's things that may not be valuable are real physical evidence.
I can only blame these maids for their own death!
Her expression was grim, and then she looked at the things she searched for, but there was nothing. Looking at the kneeling chess player on the side, his expression was gray, but his expression was still stubborn.
Zhao Silian was helped aside, still expecting Ai Ai's appearance, after the doctor came, he was giving her medicine on the side, she lowered her head, but her eyes fell on Shi Qi from time to time.
"What else do you have to say!" The old lady screamed, and everyone in the courtyard shuddered.
Shi Qi had already experienced such a scene last time, and knew that if he didn't fight to the death at this moment, he was afraid that he would have to live miserably for the rest of his life, so he broke everyone's hands and kowtowed forward: "Old lady, the slave is wronged!" ā
She was about to step forward, Song Yanzhu's eyes swept to Zhao Silian's side and Youhan was about to stand up and speak, Song Yanzhu glanced at Chu Xia, Chu Xia understood, walked two steps and stopped in front of Youhan, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, Mother Hua has already gone to get the balm, that is what Mrs. Zhu Zhu gave to my young lady, and the burn is a good medicine!" ā
In the early summer, he stopped impartially, not giving an inch, and Youhan couldn't walk if he wanted to, so he could only watch Shi Qi kneel in front of the old lady, bent down and cried: "Miss's bracelet is not stolen by the slave maid, if the slave and maid have half a lie, they will curse the slave and maid The whole family will not die well, and after death, the bones will be broken and ashes, and the soul will not return!" ā
This oath was extremely heavy, and even the old lady was stunned, and couldn't help but look at her carefully.
