7. Quarrels
As soon as Qing Tong heard that there was a grievance, he must have heard it. She dipped the towel in the water and said, "Let's hear it, what's the grievance?" โ
The green shadow secretly tugged at Zi Su's sleeve, and Zi Su spoke: "Master, that's it." We don't know where we offended Mother He, she has done a lot of rough work for us in the โกโก, and she hasn't stopped for a moment. I got up early in the morning and cleaned up the master's yard, and then I was dragged to wash the clothes of the whole family, and then we weeded and took care of the flowers and plants, picked vegetables and burned the fire, and then wiped the floor and dusted...... These yards have to be wiped ......."
Zi Su's voice became smaller and smaller, and Green Shadow hurriedly answered: "These things were originally done by other grandmothers, and we shouldn't do them." We don't have enough body, and after a day, we can't serve the master anymore. How many clothes the whole family has, how big is the land in each courtyard, how many flowers and plants there are, and others, the lord will calculate at will. โ
The maids Gu Changsheng found were not very old, and they were very diligent and proper in their work on weekdays. Qingtong didn't know what was going on at home, it turned out that she was focused on her career, and she didn't put her mind on trivial matters at home, and she handed it over to He's mother as before. Now, it seems, things are not going well.
Qingtong hung the towel on the edge of the basin, and before she could speak, she heard Green Shadow say: "We know that the master is hard, but I really can't stand it, so I told you, master." โ
Qingtong nodded, and had no choice but to say, "I understand, in this case, you call Mother Wang in the kitchen for me." โ
"Huh." Green Shadow and Zi Su got the word, so they went out of the main room and went to the front yard to find Chef Wang.
When the two of them left the courtyard, Zi Su whispered worriedly: "I don't know if the master can make decisions for us, if not, I'm afraid there will be hardship." No matter what, the master is also close to Mother He. โ
"I think the master is fair." Green Shadow said: "It's just that this mother He is hateful." I didn't understand how we offended her. She didn't know how to command blindly before, but she didn't listen to people's words and was tired enough. At this time, it is becoming less and less attractive. โ
"Say no more." Zi Su was still worried: "Xu is the one who told her to know about it, so she targeted us!" โ
"What are you afraid of?" Green Shadow was not convinced: "What did we miss?" I served the lord with all my heart, and I didn't make any trouble. But she is prestigious and does not treat us as human beings. is in the palace, who always gives us a face, and the master is majestic? She is a subordinate, she should know our difficulties, and she still steps on us. If she hadn't annoyed people first, what would we do to make fun of her behind her back? โ
Zisu sighed: "You're still quiet......"
"Don't be afraid, if you don't care. I'm in a hurry, let's mess with her. They're all minions, what's the difference? It's broken, the lord wants to beat us to death or get rid of it, I admit it! If you can't bear this sin, you just die. โ
"What do you say that you can't die, it's unlucky......"
The two muttered all the way to the front yard, knocked on Chef Wang's door, called Chef Wang, and then went to Qingtong's courtyard together.
Chef Wang didn't know what to look for her on this big night, so she asked a few more words. Green Shadow and Zisu knew that she was the closest to Mother He, so they didn't say much, but said, "Master is looking for you to ask some questions." โ
"Oh......" couldn't ask why, so Chef Wang didn't ask.
When I entered Qingtong's house and stood inside, I said, "What is the master looking for me?" โ
Qingtong let Green Shadow and Zisu go out before he spoke: "It's not a big deal, let me ask you, what happened to the He family and the two girls in my house?" โ
Chef Wang knew about this, and she was on Mother He's side. also knew who was closer to his master, so he didn't hide it, and said: "I don't know, these two maids are hateful, chewing some tongues behind their backs, scolding He Meizi for being stupid, and the soil buns in the countryside have never seen the world." Who can not be angry when these words are heard? He Meizi didn't open up and said this, but she just punished them for doing more, why not? โ
"On weekdays, how do you get along with the He family and these new maids?" Qing Tong asked again.
Chef Wang shook her head and said, "It's not good, although they don't say it, we can all see that they are not convinced by He Meizi's housekeeper." On weekdays, I always like to pick thorns, saying that this is not appropriate, that is not in order. Tell me to say, if you are inferior, you should keep your mouth shut, why there are so many opinions, what others tell you to do. โ
Qing Tong let out a slight sigh, and generally understood the twists and turns in this. She looked at Chef Wang, and asked slowly: "Then you say, how is the housekeeper of the He family?" What they are asked to do, but it makes sense? โ
"That's good, of course." Chef Wang said without hesitation: "In the past, everything in the family was Sister He, and she had never been on a business trip, and Brother Jing was fine. โ
At this point in the questioning, Qingtong didn't have anything else to say. She called Green Shadow and Zisu into the house, and ordered, "Go to the house, all the maids and mothers-in-law are called." โ
Green Shadow and Purple Su responded, and went to call people one by one. Called everyone to the green pupil house and stood aside.
Qingtong got up and sat down on the kang and looked at everyone standing. She drank a cup of tea first, and then said, "It's nothing important to call you here tonight." I've always been a bit of a meddler in family affairs, so I'd like to talk about it today. While I look outside, if I have to take care of all the chores at home, it will definitely not work. Now that you have entered this family, you are all part of it, and you have to do it for the good of this family. It's only been a few days, and if there is a dispute, it will make people laugh in vain. โ
Hearing Qingtong say this, the mother-in-law and maids all looked at each other, and guessed that their master knew that they didn't get along well in the world. But as for what the old man thought in his heart, no one could guess, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he had to hold on to what he shouldn't say, and he didn't have any words at this time.
Only Mother He spoke: "The master is busy, where can he spare his mind to take care of the family's affairs." With me at home, you can rest assured. โ
"I know that Sister-in-law He is thinking about me." Qingtong said: "I was careless before, and I didn't take care of the stall at home for you, and I forgot that you were tired." I thought about it for a while today, and asked Mama Wu to assist you. You should refer to each other and set some rules, not too strict and not too loose, so that everyone has a score in their hearts. If anyone makes a mistake, those who know the mistake can avoid the small mistake, and if it is really unavoidable, they will be punished. Talk about the rules in everything, talk about love, talk about reason, let everyone's hearts be in one place, and the family can prosper. โ
When Mother He heard Qingtong say that she wanted to give up the housekeeper's affairs to Mrs. Wu, she was naturally unwilling, and hurriedly said: "It's my blessing that my master understands me, but I don't need Mama Wu to help me." The number of people in the family is not large, and I am in charge of it alone, which is enough. โ
Qingtong raised her hand and pressed her temples, looking at Mother He and letting out a slight sigh. This matter is rare and very delicate, and if you don't grasp that point well, it may be seen as an ungrateful unloading and killing a donkey. She was thinking about how to say it, when she heard Green Shadow speak: "Master, the slave has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not. โ
"Tell me about it." Blue Hitomi lowered her hand to her temple and looked at the green shadow.
The green shadow stood respectfully, and said with a slight bow: "Since we are already members of the Qing family, we won't mention the affairs of the palace, and we will only talk about the affairs of our family today." Just now, the old man said that let Mother Wu help the director, and the slave is a hundred in favor. There are several reasons, the master asked me to say, and I said. โ
"Say!" Qingtong said.
The green film and television line swept Mother He, then raised her head slightly, looked at Qingtong and said, "It's not that we don't obey Mother He's housekeeper, there are only some things, and it's true that not everyone can do it." Mother He's family has followed the master for many years, and we don't know how much hard work they have endured during the period, but they also respect this friendship of sharing weal and woe, and dare not make a mistake. But after all, my mother didn't know a lot of rules and etiquette, so she couldn't tell us. That's fine, you should always listen to other mothers. โ
"We are still young as maids, but can the mothers who come out of our palace be bad? From beginning to end, Mother He didn't listen to others. No matter who gives an opinion, it has become a troublesome and jealous situation. If we were jealous, we should have said nothing, just laughed at the jokes. โ
"Now that I have said so, I will not fight those lies. Although we didn't have much time to go to the house, there were a lot of conflicts between us and Mother He. With a personal anger, He's mother inevitably doesn't put it on her face on weekdays, and she loses her fairness in handling things. I'm here to admit that I did gossip about Mother He behind my back. But didn't Mom think about why people complained about you in private? Today, if you still monopolize the power of the family, insist on going your own way, and the rewards and punishments are all based on your own pleasure, the family is restless, and the lord is afraid that he will not be able to concentrate on his duties. โ
After Green Shadow finished speaking, there was silence on the spot. The maids and ladies from the palace were all standing, and there was only a change in their faces. Here, Mother He was angry for a while, rushed to her brain, staggered back two steps, and was supported by Chef Wang.
After stabilizing Mother He, Chef Wang was not angry in her heart, and scolded as soon as she opened her mouth: "Cheap! You're clever and eloquent, if it weren't for you......"
"Shut up!" Qingtong sighed in a deep voice, interrupting Chef Wang's scolding, and also made the atmosphere in the room instantly condense.
