Chapter 241: Taking Charge of the Family
Qin Ruwei sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely, her eyes did not look at Mrs. Zhuang and Mama Liu, but stared at the pattern on the teacup, as if she could see a flower from it.
Old Madam Zhuang didn't take a breath, glared at Mama Liu, and shouted, "What's going on?" ”
She wants to be in charge of the family, and this family is indeed in her hands, she absolutely does not want to hear the rumors that she is in charge of the family, but she does not even give the monthly money of the people in her daughter-in-law's house. What I don't know is the negligence of the people at the moment, if it is passed on by someone with a heart, it is hard to guarantee that she will not think that she is deliberately hacking the monthly money of the people in her daughter-in-law's house.
Old Madam Zhuang is the most face-saving person and the best reputation, otherwise she would not have done everything possible to obstruct Qin Ruwei from entering the door, how could she do such a thing to smear her face?
And what she especially can't accept is that she thinks she is in charge, but suddenly Qin Ruwei punctures this gorgeous bubble, and her trusted subordinates are behind her back, which is the most unbearable for her.
"Don't you say it, hasn't the monthly money been sent a long time ago?" Old Madam Zhuang snorted.
Qin Ruwei said lightly: "Mother, don't worry, maybe it's just that Mama Liu is busy with things and forgets about it, and if she wants to come to her as a slave, she doesn't dare to swallow this silver privately." ”
This can be regarded as a step for the two of them.
"Yes, yes, old lady, the slave and maid also forgot, the silver is still with me, and I will send it to the young lady in a while." Mama Liu couldn't hear this step, and immediately went downhill to the donkey.
Mrs. Zhuang's face was a little pale, but she still had a straight face, and said: "You also forgot for a while that you didn't send it, you have to send it in person, our Zhuang family is not an ordinary family, if it is passed out, it will not make people think that our family can't even give the monthly money of the next person, and ask the daughter-in-law's dowry to make up." ”
"The slave must send it in person, definitely." Mama Liu said repeatedly.
"This little monthly money, even if I make up for it, it doesn't matter. But Niang is the most face-saving person, since you are on an errand by your mother's side, and you are a grandmother who serves you closely, every word and deed represents the face of the old lady. Take this matter as an example, if you know, you have forgotten, and others don't know that they don't think that the old lady wants to calculate the dowry of her daughter-in-law? I wouldn't think like this, but if you just deceive your mother's kindness and don't do anything, it won't work if you pour black water on her old man's face. Qin Ruwei pretended to be stern and said: "This time, if there is a next time I wipe the old lady's face, don't say young master, I can't spare you the first one." ”
The words were reasonable, as if they were thinking about Mrs. Zhuang, but they also slapped her in the face, the corners of Mrs. Zhuang's mouth twitched, and her face was hot.
Calculating the daughter-in-law's dowry, isn't that what you want to do? Fortunately, I haven't said it yet, otherwise this old face would have been lost. blamed this old man for his bad idea, and Mrs. Zhuang scratched Mama Liu fiercely.
Mama Liu complained bitterly in her heart, but Mrs. Zhuang didn't hear it, but she did. The young lady's mouth has been said openly and secretly, and she has blocked the words with the words of calculating the dowry, and it will definitely be difficult to mention it again to let her subsidize the silver, otherwise it will be a self-defeating mouth?
Sure enough, Qin Ruwei then said: "Mother, this little thing is enough, now the shopkeeper of Yucuizhai is still waiting to settle the bill, how can this be good?" ”
Old Madam Zhuang opened her mouth, and the words that rushed to her throat were swallowed back instantly.
At this time, Yang Liu walked in quickly, bowed to the two, and said crisply: "Back to the old lady and young lady, the young master has come back, and I saw that the shopkeeper of Yucuizhai was waiting to settle the bill, and sent the slave maid to ask what was going on." ”
Old Madam Zhuang's face froze, and she was hesitant, but she didn't speak.
"Mother, in a few days, Princess Ren's courtiers arrived, and it is rare that the princess also took a fancy to the jade Guanyin. You see that the shopkeeper of Yucuizhai has been waiting for it is not a matter, otherwise, I will first use my body and own silver to settle it, they are all a family, and they don't care so much, as long as the public is happy. "Qin Ruwei is very generous.
Old Madam Zhuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but said in her mouth: "How can this be done? ”
"We're all a family, don't care." Qin Ruwei smiled and said, "Yang Liu, you went to my house to open the box, took the silver ticket and went to settle with the shopkeeper." Don't let your grandfather know that this is my own silver, he is the most good-looking, but if he knows, I'm afraid he will be annoyed. If he asked, he said that it was the money that the old lady had given him. ”
"Hey."
These words made Mrs. Zhuang's face hot, and she glanced at her, she couldn't have said it on purpose.
"Mother, since it's okay, I'll go back to serve the prime minister." Qin Ruwei stood up.
"You wait." Old Madam Zhuang called her.
"What else does my mother command?" Qin Ruwei sat down again.
Old Madam Zhuang looked at her small belly and asked, "Have you come to your little day?" ”
Qin Ruwei was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed, and she said, "Here, came a few days ago." ”
Old Madam Zhuang was a little disappointed when she heard this, and said: "I'm also in a hurry, you have only been married for a month, but don't ignore it, make up for what should be made up." ”
Qin Ruwei blushed and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows." ”
Old Madam Zhuang glanced at Mama Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You are still kneeling, and you can't get up yet, hurry up and get the money for the month and send it to the young lady's yard." ”
"Hey." Mama Liu was pardoned, she had already knelt so much that her knees were swollen, and when she stood up, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Look, this old thing is so useless." Old Madam Zhuang looked like she hated iron but not steel, and coughed again: "It stands to reason that you and Ran'er are newly married Yan'er, and it is better to have a child and then incense, and I shouldn't bother you with these miscellaneous things." But you have also seen that this house is in a mess inside and out, and I am so old and useless that these subordinates dare to deceive me and do such things. ”
"Mother, you're still young, not old at all." Qin Ruwei said busily.
"Hey, don't say nice things to coax me." Mrs. Zhuang pretended to be lonely and said: "I originally wanted you to rest assured that I would take care of your body and give birth to a baby, but when it was cold this day, my body was lazy, and I couldn't see it so much, so I couldn't make ends meet." I think it's better for you to hold this house, you see."
Qin Ruwei raised her eyebrows, she already knew this result in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and said in her mouth: "The daughter-in-law is young, I'm afraid I have to rely on my mother's gang to watch it!" ”
"Don't push it, I lived with you for a while in the past, and I saw your housekeeping ability." Old Madam Zhuang pursed her lips and said, "That's it, you can take care of this house, and I'll ask Mama Liu to send the big key to you when I go back." But there is one more thing, that is, give me a big fat grandson quickly, that is the great credit. ”
The corners of Qin Ruwei's mouth twitched, and she responded with a forced smile: "Mother, just relax!" ”
Out of Rong'an Hall, Qin Ruwei looked at Yang Liu: "Did the master really ask about the shopkeeper of Yucuizhai?" ”
Yang Liu smiled slyly and said, "How can I do it, I am talking nonsense, and the master is just waving his hand when he hears it." ”
Qin Ruwei poked her nose and sneered: "I can't see it, you are also a little slippery." ”
Yang Liu stuck out his tongue and said, "Young lady, I didn't expect the old lady to hand over the housekeeping so quickly." ”
"It's not, I don't know what kind of bad debt I handed over, and I can't even settle the silver of Jade Guanyin." Qin Ruwei sneered.
"The old lady also has no face to hand over this stewardship." Yang Liu said softly.
"That's it in your hearts and mine, don't say it." Qin Ruwei looked at her.
"Slaves and maids know what is important." Yang Liu immediately blessed a gift.
Back in the main courtyard, Qin Ruwei didn't see Zhuang Churan, and when he inquired, he went to the study, and after thinking about it, he asked someone to serve a few refreshments and prepare to send them over in person.
"Young lady, Mama Liu is here." Qiulan lifted the curtain and came in.
Qin Ruwei raised her eyebrows, came so soon?
"Let her wait, I'll go to my master's place and deliver some refreshments." Qin Ruwei smiled faintly.
The study is located in the east wing of their yard, because Qin Ruwei is also here to serve, so this study is dressed up quietly and elegantly, and it is a small garden, pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is excellent.
Zhuang Churan was looking at something, Qin Ruwei went over with refreshments, glanced at it, and asked, "This official business is busy, and he can't even be idle at home?" ”
Seeing her coming, Zhuang Churan put down the communiqué in his hand, took advantage of the situation to pull her to the beauty couch by the window and sat down, thought about it, simply lay down by himself, pillowed his head on her lap, closed his eyes, and said: "Heavy snow, some dilapidated houses, and several people have been crushed to death, I am afraid that the disaster will be more serious in this farther place, and some people will hide it and not report it." ”
Qin Ruwei's heart tightened, and she asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"I'm going to make an unannounced visit tomorrow."
Qin Ruwei was startled, looked at him, from this angle, his face had lost a lot of weight, his face was tired, but he was more resolute, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub his temples in pain, and said: "You have to bring a few more people, some villagers won't be reasonable, don't be hurt." ”
"Hmm." Zhuang Churan responded lazily and said, "It's comfortable to rub, and it's heavier." ”
Qin Ruwei knew that he was also tired these days, and the strength in his hands had increased a little, and after thinking about it, he told him what happened in Rong'an Hall just now.
Zhuang Churan frowned and said: "I don't know if Liu Fu's family is the old lady's distant relatives, they just have to use it, if they can't use it, you can deal with it, and you don't have to go back and forth to me, you are the head of the house, and the inner house is your battlefield." ”
"You don't blame me?"
Zhuang Churan opened her eyes, pinched her cheek, and said, "Why do you and I have to think about that idea, since you have married me, you are the mistress of this mansion." My mother sometimes twists her temperament, as long as it's not too much, if it's too much, you can tell me again. Don't worry, I'll be on your side. ”
With his assurance, Qin Ruwei put her mind at ease, she was afraid that if she used a little trick at Mrs. Zhuang's place, this person would be unhappy in her heart, since he said so, she was not welcome! R1154
