The Zhou family is no different from other high-gate mansions in Yanjing City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to the main wife, the male protagonist will also be surrounded by a few bewitching little aunts, and the daughters-in-law married by the younger generation are not too close.
Every day, I only know that the hair is smeared with black oil, hairpins and hairpins, the little face is wiped with gouache, and the red rouge is fainted on the cheeks, and then I think about it, pick a beautiful dress, then rub the handkerchief, go to the courtyards, so troublesome, in addition to wanting to grasp my husband, I also have the heart of climbing beauty.
When it comes to rouge gouache and hairpins, the money on the account is taken by Mama Wu, and after the purchase is directed, it is distributed to the ladies of each room.
If anyone doesn't like it, and wants the maid to steal out to buy something chic, and the mother-in-law who is sucking the whiskers and patting the horse looks at the movement, he sneakily goes to Mama Wu to curry favor, and it will be unfavorable to ask her for these things in the future, and then want to ask her for these things, and listen to her yin and yang weirdness to say some ugly things, pushing and delaying, even if you can't urge it, it is mostly left over from other rooms, or some are broken.
Several vigorous daughters-in-law approached the eldest lady for evaluation, and were also sent back by the three parties.
At this point, Mama Wu became more and more proud, and the young masters dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. The clever ones secretly stuffed some money into her behind their backs.
After a long time, if you look at whose hairpin is more beautiful, who uses the powder more evenly, then God will naturally know this little bit of greasy, if so, that night the man entered the man's room, the handkerchief in his hand seemed to be twisted, and his heart was very astringent.
At this time, the four grandmothers sitting next to the ancestors are not very common on weekdays, but they have only heard about it, and they are always the top-notch characters in the ladies in Yanjing City, and they turn the four masters around.
Now that he is a powerful person, he punished Mama Wu without leaving a way back.
It's really a good relief from the bad breath that has been held for a long time.
Listening to the third lady questioning the eldest lady like this, a little daughter-in-law stroked her cheeks and complained about her grievances, and her words were full of grievances: "Look at my face, I don't know what kind of ointment Mama Wu brought, after a few days of application, there are many red rashes on my face, and even my husband doesn't dare to enter my room." I know that Mama Wu is very fierce and can't afford to offend, so I can only ask the eldest lady for justice, but I say that I have a lot of things, how can the people next to me wipe it, it must be your face that has a problem. ”
She paused and wiped away her tears: "How can there be such a burying person, I was so good as a girl in the past, besides, I am a rash." ”
A few others also agreed, pointing to their faces and calling Qu Lai up, don't think about the original ones used in the past, they are all on the market, and they can't be used to raise their faces, and there are some people who bribe Mama Wu with silver.
The old lady was so angry that she trembled, and she didn't look at the eldest lady, but only said to Yu Qiao: "You ask the one who is not long-eyed, but Mrs. Wu is complicit in it, and she wants to defeat our Zhou family before resting?" It's better to send it to the county government together, and let the official be tortured to see what her intentions are. ”
Yuqiao was silent, the eldest lady's face was flushed with shame, she hurriedly got up and knelt in front of the kang, and said with tears in her eyes: "The daughter-in-law does things normally, and there are indeed many deficiencies and proper, but she has no second heart for the ancestors and the entire Zhou Mansion, she is a member of the Zhou family in life, and she is a ghost of the Zhou family in death. As Mama Wu said, her ancestors served in front of the grandfather, and now her daughter Ximei has received work in this room, and the uncle sometimes sees her family, and she has to give three points, not to mention my useless ......!"
The old lady smacked her and scolded: "I hate you for only knowing how to bully the soft and fear the hard, blindly flatter and tolerate when you see the fierce, and try your best to suppress and deduct when you see the weaker than you, and I have already helped you say that you must be fair and strict, and treat everyone equally, whether it is the master or the subordinate, you must act according to the rules you have established, you should be the wind in your ears, when have you complied with it." ”
Turning to Yu Qiao, he said, "I asked you before, but you haven't replied." But what is the reason? ”
Yuqiao groaned, and then said: "Grandmother is kind-hearted, I want to take advantage of the New Year's Festival to celebrate, how dare Yuqiao disobey, but after carefully checking the account book, this year's monthly money in each room has been reduced by half compared with previous years, not to mention, and a few weddings and funerals in the house, and then remove the part of Mama Wu's hands and feet, in fact, the rest is indeed a little stretched." ”
After saying this, the old lady's face sank, stared, picked up the tea bowl to eat, and was quite sullen.
Yuqiao bent her lips and was about to speak, but Zhou Zhenwei smiled next to her: "Grandmother, don't be disappointed, my little lady has a lot of ideas, you can listen to what she said, and then make a conclusion." ”
This person, when he is so solemn, he is like a nobody, just listening, and daring to make fun of her.
glared at him with a coquettish face, but he was cheeky and wanted to grab her fingertips, Yuqiao hurriedly shrank his hand to hide, and the ladies in the hall all pursed their lips and smiled!
The old lady also laughed, shook his head and sighed: "Zhenwei has also learned badly now, and he actually bullies people." ”
Then he asked Yuqiao, "If you have any ideas, just tell me about them." ”
Yu Qiao said with a straight face: "Grandmother's promise, everyone already knows, and I have long looked forward to it, if something happens at this time, it will lose our dignity as masters." Hair always has to be made, just to set a benchmark. ”
"Tell me about it, what benchmark do you set?" The old lady's expression eased a lot, she is a very face-loving person, how can she break her word if she says it.
"Grandmother originally said that from top to bottom should add monthly money, Yuqiao checked the account book, and knew that the silver money handed over by each house this year, some of them were paid on time and according to the schedule every month, and some of them delayed and underpaid, or even did not see their children at all. Even so, the monthly money of the aunts, aunts, daughters-in-law, girls, and young masters of each room cannot be leveled with a bowl of water, and they always use this as a rod. The amount of the monthly money that is delayed and underpaid will be halved, as for those who have not been given, don't say that they have been added, and they will not be deducted even the monthly money tomorrow. ”
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and all the women lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, thinking about it in their hearts, these four grandmothers looked gentle and obedient, but they were worried about doing things carefully, and they were afraid that they would be treacherous and slippery in the future, and it would be difficult to bargain.
Then I thought that a man's money would never enter his sleeve, so it was better to give it on time and according to the schedule, and he could get some more money to spend. When they came back like this, they all nodded in response, and some said that they wanted to go back and talk to the man and make up for the money they owed.
Yu Qiao saw that no one objected, and continued: "From Mama Wu's selfish pockets, you can know that among this servant, there must be lazy and slack, and naturally there are also diligent duties. If everyone adds money, the old man will lose his interest, but the lazy person will be satisfied, and he will be more indulgent in the future. ”
