206 Inquiring from all directions (II)
Lin Qixu's heart moved, and called the mother-in-law who was cleaning up the barrels and water stains inside, the two mothers-in-law were transferred from the outer courtyard of rough labor, Lin Qixu didn't have much contact with them, and they usually couldn't do some maids, but it was not convenient for the little maids to do things.
"How old are you?"
A horse-faced woman with a broad skeleton and rough skin responded first: "It's more than thirty-five, and the grandson will be one year old." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said, she smiled to herself, looking at the inappropriate appearance.
The other was more scheming and looked cleaner and thoughtful, and said simply: "Early thirties." ”
What a clever answer.
Lin Qixu commented silently.
"Master, the one on the left is Zhou Gui's family, and the one on the right is Wang Erxi." Yan Zhu's introduction also points out that there are people on the left who are working in the palace, and those on the right are either widowed or unmarried. Kelin Qixu looked at her behavior, coupled with the rules of the palace, it was impossible for her not to be married.
"You're both born in the family?"
In the same way, Zhou Gui's family was the most active, and he didn't even take his brain around, and replied: "The old woman is not." ”
Yan Zhu almost wanted to laugh when he looked at it, the palace was full of calculations, and it was less than ten years since it was built, so how could he have a child. What the master wants to ask is whether you have been living in the capital, or have you dragged your family from other places.
Another Wang Erxi, who was in his twenties and dragged a son and two daughters to be widowed, was still waiting to see his in-laws, and he worked hard to grow up, but he always stumbled and was not very good. The eldest son married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to two grandchildren, the daughter is not married, the family is stretched, and he wants money everywhere, and his life is so hard, Wang Erxi has to be cautious everywhere.
She thought more, more carefully, and the reply was very interesting.
"The slave's husband has been working in the carpenter shop in the capital, and later came to the palace to work, but unfortunately he went early." didn't say anything about himself in half a sentence, Wang Erxi understood that there was no such thing as having children in the palace. How could it be that she was so old.
Lin Qixu was delighted by the flexibility of this princess, and gave Yan Zhu a look.
Yan Zhu immediately understood, took out a few pieces of money and sent away Zhou Gui's family, poor that mother-in-law is still beautiful, when the master wants to punish Wang mother-in-law for not doing well.
Missed an opportunity to perform.
Lin Qixu's thoughts are also very rude, the thirteenth manpower is limited, and some things are afraid that it is not easy to inquire, but the well-informed information among the servants of the wealthy families in the capital is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
Although Mrs. Wang's level is not 'advanced' enough, she is willing to use her brain. With a little thought, it's still quite promising, not like that Zhou's noble family, thank God if you don't sell your master, no wonder you are old and have a husband and children, but she is still a mother-in-law who does rough work.
"Who are you?"
Wang Erxi said honestly this time: "I came from Luoyang, and the man who went early bought me from the traffickers and lived in the capital. ”
"Wuxiang Houfu, do you know?"
Lin Qixu said lightly.
Yan Zhu listened with her eyebrows curled, and she vaguely remembered that her master's face changed when she heard the Wuxiang Hou Mansion in the afternoon.
Is this going to inquire?
Lin Qixu didn't dare to talk about the Fuguo Mansion casually, in the end, there was a fatal eldest daughter of the Fuguo Mansion in the palace, and on the premise of no blood feud, Lin Qixu really didn't plan to do anything with her.
Wang Erxi has been widowed for many years, seeing all kinds of faces, and tasting all the bitterness and bitterness. Usually even talking to the master is delusional, she suddenly has a chance today, even if she is no longer young, she thought that she would live a life like this, but she didn't think that when she reached middle age, there was still a turnaround.
She nodded, "Yes." ”
I've heard some things, but I'm not familiar with them.
"I don't think you look like a city guy. As for me, I asked you to inquire about something, more than 20 years ago, why did the Marquis of Wuxiang let Xinghua Temple out? What is the relationship between the two? "The involvement with the Fuguo Mansion, Lin Qixu doesn't plan to say it.
In the end, so many people are listening with their ears pricked up.
Mrs. Wang couldn't figure out what she wanted for a while, but she still responded calmly: "Got it." ”
"This matter is very important, if you can get the exact news back to me, you can be promoted directly." Lin Qixu unceremoniously explained the treatment after the incident.
Upgrading sounds average, but the actual benefits are far more.
The most important thing is that if you climb the master in the future, your children's future will not be worried, and the door to various opportunities will be opened.
Wang Erxi encouraged himself in his heart, concealed his surging excitement, and said, "The slave maid will go to Xinghua Temple tomorrow morning to take a turn." "She was sold to the capital for decades, never out of a far place, now the village is the farthest away from her, Xinghua Temple has always only heard of its name, never stepped in.
"Well, you go down. Yanzhu, you send her. ”
Lin Qixu didn't want to say anything, he always had to make some achievements in doing things, so that he could have everything in the future.
No matter how much you say before, it's useless.
Yan Zhu comprehended and took a sachet with exquisite embroidery from the room, and Mrs. Wang followed with a wince, while her eyes slipped, and her heart was hot with joy, just this sachet was taken out and sold, which was enough for the family's expenses for three months.
Yan Zhu acted with his own bearing, even if he didn't look down on Wang Erxi's shallow eyelids, he still smiled kindly: "Mrs. Wang, here are ten taels of broken silver, Ming'er, you go to Xinghua Temple, and then call a donkey cart back to the city, and come back when there is news." "As for the lack of news, the money is severance pay in disguise.
Lin Qixu is really very generous.
Wang Erxi understood the meaning of Yan Zhu's words, and the sachet that had been passed for a while made her a little overwhelmed.
Although the work in the house is heavy, the treatment is good. She is the most inferior coarse mother-in-law, she still has white rice to eat, and she has a set of clothes and dresses for each season, and she can save a few dollars per month without extra expenses. Therefore, she couldn't honor the steward above, and she had been struggling with her head for so many years.
Although a few coins of silver are not much, they can accumulate a lot of money over the years, and there are happy events in the palace from time to time, and it is common to send double monthly examples and eat. And she works in the palace, and the scoundrels will not find her door.
In case you lose this job...... She has no backing, and she has no ability, Concubine Lin said to take her, no one will take her in.
Mrs. Wang's heart is suddenly hot and cold, the ideological struggle is fierce, and you come and go on both sides.
But Yanzhu wouldn't give her so much effort, patted her hand lightly, and walked to the main house.
The moonlight is sparse, the branches and leaves sway with the wind, and the mottled fall of the ground, and gather on a helpless, burdened inferior mother-in-law. Wang Erxi held the bag of sachets, kept shaking, and finally shed tears without arguing.
For many years, life has rolled by like a wheel, pressing down on the hardships and grievances of the next place.
Guarding his son to grow up, but the son of an adult is not angry, although he is not defeated, he can not get into the expenses and the small ones are waiting to be fed, the daughter-in-law has it again last month, and the sensible daughters have missed Shaohua because of their poor families, and they have been in the double decade, and they are almost left as old girls... Her back was hunched, her waist was sore, and her legs and feet were beginning to be difficult to handle, but the burden of this family was getting heavier and heavier, and it was pressing on her desperately......
Sometimes Wang Erxi really wants to sleep in a huff, sleep away all her troubles, go underground to find the dead ghost, and ask him why he left her alone in the world to struggle.
Yan Zhu stared at the porch for a long time, watching the increasingly rickety figure of Mrs. Wang pacing away.
She turned around and stepped into the house to serve Lin Qixu to sleep. (To be continued.) )
