10. Chapter 10
In front of the Yan Courtyard on the small track all the way in Qingqiu, he took a small breath, calmed down, and then stepped in. It was also due to her good luck today, and she saw her acquaintance Bai Xiu as soon as she entered the door.
Bai Xiu was a little surprised by her arrival, "Why don't you serve in front of the girl?" But the girl asked you to come to Madame and have a look? ”
Qingqiu's face was a little unnatural and said, "Yes, the girl just went to the old lady, and not long before she shouted that she wanted to come back." ”
Bai Xiu took her hand, let go in front of the door of Yan's house, and called outside the house: "Madam, Qingqiu in front of the eldest girl is here." After hearing the words that were quiet for a while, she turned her head to Qingqiu and whispered, "Let's go in." ”
Qingqiu nodded, wiped the cold sweat from his head with his sleeve, and was thrown when he crossed the threshold, almost falling on his stomach.
Seeing her like this, Yan frowned and put down the tea in his hand. Since Xie Liangying made a lot of trouble a few times, she has seen the people in her eldest daughter's house horizontally and vertically, and her nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes, not to mention that she has such a big appearance. However, she didn't have an immediate seizure, but said lightly: "What did the girl ask you to come back for, but the old lady has something to come back to get it?" ”
It's a bit strange to say, or it's a bit of a lift. After Xie Liangying became sensible, she moved out by herself and lived in another yard. If you are missing something, you should go to your own yard and get it.
Qingqiu smiled very unnaturally, her face looked a little distorted, and she stumbled and said, "The girl cares about Madame, call me back to have a look." ”
Yan's heart was a little warm, and his tone softened a little, "How long have you not seen you?" Please see you again in the morning. ”
Bai Xiu smiled on the side: "The eldest girl is worried about Mrs. Yan, but it is a rare filial piety." ”
Yan wanted to make fun, but when he saw Qingqiu's pale face and the appearance of wanting to stop talking, his mind turned and said to Bai Xiu: "You go to the small kitchen to take a look, pick up some stewed supplements, and let Qingqiu send them to Ah Ying later." ”
Bai Xiu didn't doubt him, so he answered and left.
There were only two in the house, Qingqiu and Yan. Yan opened the skylight and said brightly, "Say, what's wrong." ”
Qingqiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, rushed forward a few steps, and trembled and touched the key to the warehouse that Xie Liangying had stuffed into her hand from her arms.
Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at the key.
Qing Qiu knelt down, held the key in both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this is what I stole from my grandmother......"
Yan snatched the key, rolled his eyes, and asked her, "Where is the treasury account book?" ”
Qingqiu licked her dry lips, the things had been handed over, the words had been brought, and the rest was enough for her to deal with, so she calmed down a lot. She opened her eyes and said with a look of praise from the Yan family: "I stared at the booklet and burned it clean in the brazier." In the future, whatever the lady wants, it will be much more convenient. ”
"Yes, good job." Yan touched the key with satisfaction, paused, put away a smile, and asked sharply, "What if Ah Ying asks...... What are you going to say? ”
Qingqiu didn't blink his eyes, and spit out the words he had thought of, "The key was lost by Mama, and I haven't touched it at all." Maybe my grandmother hid the account books and framed me. I'm young and I don't know anything, how can I compare to Mama's spicy ginger. ”
Bai Xiu turned around at this time and shouted at the door. Yan put away the key, motioned Qingqiu to get up with his eyes, and called people in.
Bai Xiu handed the stew to Qingqiu, and Yan looked at Qingqiu and said meaningfully: "Go back and serve the girl well, I will reward you." ”
Qingqiu blessed his body, thanked Bai Xiu again, and went back to see Xie Liangying.
After listening to Qingqiu's narration, Xie Liangying took two taels of silver from her purse and gave it to her, "It's a good job, I'll reward you." He pointed to the tonic she brought back, "You guys take it and divide it, I don't want to eat it." ”
Qingqiu thanked him for the reward, and went to the ear room on the side with Qingxia and Mama Lian to share the stew to eat.
Xie Liangying was very satisfied, and everything was under his control. Although she was not raised by her grandmother at all in her previous life, this is different from the past experience and did not disrupt her calculations, but instead calculated to achieve her own goals.
After Yan took the key, he did not act immediately. She was worried that after Xie Liangying found out that the key was missing, she changed the lock in the warehouse. It wasn't until after dinner that there was no sound from the Xie family's grandmother, and the Yan family was relieved. She instructed a few of her dowives to go to Xie Liangying's treasury to get things while it was dark.
Win once, win twice. After tasting too much sweetness, Yan's courage grew. The affairs of the three-room inner courtyard were in her hands, and no one dared to put their beaks. actually emptied most of Xie Liangying's warehouse at one time.
Although Xie Liangying is not in the third room, it is his own yard in the end. Even Mama can't go over to listen to the news, but the relationship between Qingxia and Qingqiu is still there. Occasionally, when I went back to get something, I asked a few ignorant little girls in private, and I knew a rough idea.
It's almost over, and Xie Liangying will attack the Yan family.
Yan finished lunch that day and was eating when he saw Bai Xiu hurriedly coming in from outside, greeted her, and said, "Madam, something happened to the eldest girl." I heard that Mama Lian had lost something, and the girl wanted to punish her to go to Zhuangzi. Madame, go and take a look. ”
Yan's heart jumped, and his heart was not good, so he hurriedly took Bai Xiu to the courtyard of the Xie family's grandmother. When he arrived, he saw that Xie Liangying was really standing in the courtyard like an angry King Kong, and he took the whip with his own hand and whipped it on Lian Mama. She hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the whip from Xie Liangying's hand, and complained: "What is this doing, I actually scolded people personally, and when it was spread, people still thought of us as the Xie family." Don't put it down yet! ”
Xie Liangying pinched the whip and didn't want to give it, she was wrapped in Yan's arms, and took advantage of the gap to whip Lian Mama's body, and said angrily: "This old thing who doesn't know how to measure has lost the key to the warehouse!" Mother, why are you still stopping me! After that, he wanted to push Yan away, but he seemed to remember the previous beating of his mother, and his strength to resist was much smaller.
Yan snatched her whip in the end, threw it on the ground, and dragged her into the house, "You go in with me to make it clear." ”
Even Mama was wearing a thick body, and she didn't make a good fight. It's just that after all, he is old, his sideburns are messy, the corners of his mouth are dry and cracked, and the whole person doesn't look very good.
Everyone wanted to help, but they didn't dare to go up.
After a while, Yan pulled Xie Liangying, who pouted and was unhappy, out of the house. She cleared her throat and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Even Mama is not a good servant, and the girl and I see that she is old and has served for many years, so she is exempt from the hard work of Zhuangzi." From tomorrow, even Mama will be demoted to a third-class servant. ”
Xie Liangying glared at Mama Lian fiercely, snorted and turned around and entered the house, even the Yan family didn't plan to send it.
Yan walked up to Mama Lian and looked at her condescendingly. The struggle that she had had done before was not in her hands now. The voice was cold and smug, "Come with me." ”
Mama Lian wiped her sideburns with both hands, got up from the ground tremblingly, and left with Yan.
Qingqiu was in the house, watching their backs from the window as they left. A little worried, he said: "Girl, Mama will follow Madame, but something will happen?" ”
Xie Liangying shook his head, but said, "After tonight, it won't be necessarily." ”
Even if Mama is there, Yan can still press the theft of the treasury on her head, so as to wash herself away. If Mama Lian dies, who will be able to carry this pot for the Yan family.
It was night, and Qingxia suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain. Xie Liangying took pity on her hard work, so she asked her to change the night with Qingqiu, and asked her to have a good rest.
In front of Xie Liangying's storeroom, the two of them opened the door by night, and came out after going in for a while. Qingxia suddenly appeared with the little maid in the courtyard, looked at the two of them, and sneered: "Finally asked me to catch it." ”
The two men tried to hide, but the candlelight had illuminated their faces clearly, and everyone present could see who they were. Even if you can hide for a while, you will be found out tomorrow.
Yan Shi has not rested, she is waiting for her people to come back from Xie Liangying's warehouse. Kneeling in front of her was Mama Lian, who was tied up.
One qiē is just as Xie Liangying guessed. Yan is reluctant to die even for the time being.
However, the sudden bright lights in Xie Liangying's courtyard made Yan's heart skip a beat. Before she could react, Xie Liangying, who was dressed in a coat, came over with two people who were tied up with five flowers.
The tears on Xie Liangying's face did not dry, and when she saw Yan, she threw herself into her arms, "Mother, I have long said that you should not condone people, you see, your kindness has raised such two wolf-hearted things!" He personally went to untie Mama Lian on the ground, and said with a dark face, "It's me who has made the old mistake of recklessness again, and Mama has suffered." ”
Yan looked at the two dowives in front of him and was speechless for a long time. Others thought she was heartbroken, but in fact, Yan was thinking about how to block the mouths of these two people.
Xie Liangying glanced at Yan with cold eyes, wiped away the tears on her face, hugged Yan and said, "Although it was my yard that was stolen, I am still a person in our room." These two people will be handed over to my mother, and tomorrow my grandmother will call me to get up early, and I will go back first. ”
This move was in Yan's arms, she barely suppressed the anxiety and joy in her heart, and coaxed: "You can go, these are all made by your mother." He stared at the two of them hatefully, "There is such a thing to eat inside and out, it must be that I am too compassionate on weekdays!" ”
Xie Liangying turned around and walked out of the Yan family's courtyard, but she was thinking in her heart that if the Yan family was really compassionate, she would not frame her own daughter.
The grandmother of the Xie family is old, so no one dares to wake her up at night - not to mention that it is not a major matter of the family, but it is Sanfang's own business. She didn't know until the next morning, so she asked Yan how to deal with it.
Yan got up and said respectfully: "It's because my subordinates are not strict in the past few days, and there are a few evil servants. Last night they couldn't stand the punishment and committed suicide. ”
Xie Liangying was silent, she knew that the Yan family would not let go of those two people.
This matter was like a dragonfly touching water, and it did not cause too much wind and waves in Xie Mansion, and it was calm again in a few days. Who doesn't have a few evil servants?
On this day, Xie Liangying finished the account, took leave from his grandmother, and went to see the Yan family.
After entering the house, Xie Liangying frowned without saying a few words. Yan didn't see it, so he asked her, "Grandmother doesn't live there well?" Why is it that you are unhappy? ”
Xie Liangying shook her head, "Grandmother has everything, I have lived in these days, and I don't even have the problem of recognizing the bed." But......" She bit her lower lip, twisted her fingers, and didn't look at Yan, and whispered her thoughts, "Did my mother ask those two cheap servants for anything back from me?" ”
Yan's is stuck, and the stolen things have long been exchanged for silver by her, how can she "chase" them back. had no choice but to say: "The men in their family are good at gambling, and they all take it to gamble, mother...... I can't get it back. ”
Xie Liangying was unwilling to say: "Then don't I have no private room?" Many of them were given to me by my grandmother, and the elders rewarded them, but now they are gone. I'm still thinking about picking a few of them for my sister, but now they're gone. ”
Yan comforted her, "If it's gone, there will be another one in the future." Doesn't it mean that the new ones don't go, and the old ones don't come? Your grandfather and your father will be rulers in the court for a day, and you will have more things, not less. ”
Xie Liangying heard this, and looked at Yan with a pair of eyes shining, "What my mother said is true?" ”
"Nature." Yan said with relief.
"So-my daughter wants a shop, okay?"
Yan was stunned.
