Chapter 59: To Each His Own Mind

Miss Li was so jealous that she secretly went crazy, and the Lu family, who received such a heavy dowry, also had their own thoughts.

Mrs. Lu's own dowry is rich, and she doesn't take money very seriously. She hadn't thought of the idea of playing this batch of dowries, but the second lady's eyes were red, and she kept pouting in her ear all morning, which finally made her think. But thinking of Zhihua's past methods, the old lady became jealous again, and she was undecided for a while, and she couldn't make up her mind.

The second lady noticed that her mother-in-law had loosened a little, and her spirits lifted, and she drank the tea cup in her hand in one gulp, and chattered more vigorously about the hardships of being in charge. The old lady was chattered by her all morning, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Enough! Shut up! The housekeeping is all old and second, and the one with the most oil and water in the housekeeping is in your hands, you give me less to cry here to be poor, and the old woman is not blind when she is old! You haven't been taught the methods of that girl, you only care about the treasures sent by the Hongwei Mansion, why don't you want to think that your third brother's family is still living under her uncle! In the past, the girl had plenty of money in her hands, but now in this situation, how can she not stare at these dowries? What you said, let me think about it carefully, there is no perfect solution, and we should not take action. ”

The second lady was not convinced, and opened her mouth to say something more, but the old lady waved her hand irritably: "Okay, after talking all morning, your mouth is not tired, my ears are going to be calloused!" Stand down, let me be pure and pure. ”

Under Mrs. Lu's authority, the second lady didn't dare to say more, so she could only reluctantly bow and leave.

After the second lady left, the old lady's room finally quieted down. Liu's mother frowned when she saw her. With a poor complexion, he took the initiative to walk behind her and massage her to soothe.

The eldest lady is quite resourceful and does not skimp on money. In the past two years, Mother Liu has secretly approached her and received a lot of benefits, and now she has replaced the former Mother Wu and become the most trusted subordinate in the old lady's heart. The second lady doesn't know the eldest lady's ability, and Liu's mother won't know it. In the past two years, thanks to the eldest lady's reminder, she has been able to have such a smooth ride in Songling Hospital, so at this moment, she doesn't dare to have the slightest idea of standing by and watching. Single-mindedly planning how to help the eldest lady and dispel the old lady's thoughts.

Liu's mother has a brain teaser, but her hands are not idle. All the way down from the old lady's temples. When he pinched his shoulder, he finally cautiously tentatively said, "Old lady, do you feel better?" ”

Liu's mother is favored, and this massage skill is indispensable. She is a sophistication in fingering. And pinched steadily. After only pressing such a half-column of incense, the old lady felt that her whole body was comfortable, and the irritability caused by her daughter-in-law subsided a lot. She nodded: "Well, it's much better." Ah Gui, you really have nothing to say about your craft! Why didn't I find out earlier? ”

There was Mother Wu in the past, how could there be a chance for Mother Liu's cousin? The old lady knew it in her heart, but she just sighed casually.

Liu's mother smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he lowered his head and massaged it seriously and intently.

When people get old, the ** they talk about is increasing day by day. The old lady had just opened the conversation. couldn't hold it for a while, so he took the initiative to ask: "Ah Gui, what do you think of what the second family said?" ”

Mother Liu said secretly, here! Cheer up and reply carefully: "The old lady doesn't want to make fun of the slave and maid, how dare the slave and the maid discuss the master's affairs?" ”

Mother Liu and Qiuhua Courtyard never interacted with each other on the surface, and they were also polite and alienated from the masters of the Lu family's courtyards, and they never deliberately said good things about a certain master in front of the old lady on weekdays, so in the past two years, the old lady has gradually let down her vigilance, and her trust has increased day by day. At this time, seeing that she was as cautious in her words and deeds as always, she was very satisfied, and said kindly: "You are the most powerful person around me, different from others, if you have any ideas, you can say it boldly and directly, and you don't have to be arrogant." ”

Mother Liu is very well proportionate, and when it comes to this, she doesn't know how to lift up if she is silent.

"The dowry gifts sent by the Weiguo Mansion, the slaves and maids also watched the eldest lady collect them into the treasury of the Gongzhong. To say that I am not afraid of the old lady's jokes, the slave maid has lived so old, and many of these treasures are unheard of and unseen, which is really eye-opening. The second lady was red-eyed and wanted to ...... It's also understandable. ”

This was true, and the old lady was silent, and continued to listen to her.

"However, after all, the second lady is still not as long-term as the old lady, and what she has done in her heart is just the second room. The third master's family has not been in Beijing for many years, and they are rarely close to the second room, and it is not unusual for the second lady to not take care of them at the moment. But the old lady, you can't be led by her, you know, the third master is also your kinsman. ”

The old lady has scruples in her heart, isn't this it? Liu's mother didn't have any constructive opinions after talking for a long time, and she was a little impatient: "I know what you said, I just asked you, if it were you, what would you do?" ”

"Maybe the slave is cowardly, anyway, the slave just thinks that no amount of money and treasures can be exchanged for people's lives. The third master is not in a peaceful place now, the scene when the Jiang family's martial artist came to the door last time, the old lady must still remember it, right? ”

The last thing the old lady wanted to recall in her life was the time when Jiang Wu came to the door to make trouble for the Lu family. She has married into the Lu family for so many years, she has no in-laws to learn from, and no concubines to compete for favor, it can be said that she has lived so much at such an age, and it is the first time that people have made such a shameless scene. Every time I think about it, I have to think about it for a long time. Liu's mother brought up the old things again, and she inevitably showed a displeasure. However, following Liu's mother's words, she couldn't help but think of that day in her mind. Jiang Wu was furious, and the murderous aura on his body was as fierce as a substance, and she just glanced at that look, and she was so frightened that she couldn't stand steadily, and even almost became incontinent.

The fear that was deliberately forgotten in the bottom of her heart was revisited, and the memory was still as fresh as new, and the old lady broke out in a cold sweat for a moment: "You are right! Jiang Wu, that reckless man, you must know that if I dare to touch the dowry of his niece, I may do something crazy! Although our Lu family is not as good as the Weiguo Mansion, it can be regarded as a wealthy family, and we can't afford to take risks with the third family for money. The second family's eyelids are too shallow, and they almost tricked me into doing foolish things! When she comes back tomorrow, I'll have to beat her up and cut her off! You also help me keep an eye on the second room during this time, don't let her do anything foolish and hurt San'er. ”

successfully achieved the goal, Liu's mother was secretly happy in her heart. But before she could steal the fun, the old lady suddenly sneered again: "My old woman was held by someone to have a weakness, and she didn't dare to beat that girl's idea." Just because I don't dare doesn't mean others don't. Xingshuang, that girl is doing pretty well now, isn't she? After all this good life, it's time for her to do things for meβ€”you can sneak a message to her tomorrow...... Now that the old family has gained a firm foothold, I don't believe that she is the daughter of a nine-grade petty official, and she will not be tempted when she sees these treasures! I don't know if this mother and daughter are going to fight...... Hehe......" The old lady chuckled happily as if she had foreseen the wonderful scene.

Mother Liu lowered her head to hide her flickering eyes and promised softly.

Miss Lu, who was being talked about by countless people, was sitting in front of the dresser at this time. She had a good night's sleep, and the complexion on her face was very good. His skin was as white and flawless as a hard-boiled egg that had just taken off its shell, because as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the news that Shizi had come to hire him in person, and he kept having a sweet pink smile on his face.

"Miss's current appearance, it's so beautiful!" Bai Lan, who had just combed the young lady's hair, looked at the beautiful face reflected in the mirror, and couldn't help but express her heartfelt admiration.

Bai Lan's casual words caused Zhihua to feel that the heat on her face deepened again. There are no outsiders at the moment, she deliberately showed a proud expression: "What I said, am I not beautiful on weekdays?" ”

Bai Lan has long been accustomed to the master's funny from time to time, and cooperated with her to pretend to be frightened: "Miss is naturally beautiful all the time, the slave maid made a slip of the tongue for a while, and I hope that Miss will forgive her sins!" ”

Zhihua smiled "poof", turned her head and scolded with a smile: "Since you know that you are wrong, you will be punished for a month." ”

Bai Lan didn't care at all, "It doesn't matter, the slave will say a few more auspicious words to the future aunt, and the reward will be enough for the slave to spend a year." ”

For the first time in so many years, Zhihua made Bai Lan speechless, so she puffed up her cheeks and glared at Bai Lan fiercely, not daring to continue the topic.

Han's mother spoke out to relieve the siege: "Okay, Bailan, why don't you go to the front yard and stare at it?" Joke again, miss, be careful that she holds a grudge, and come back with revenge when you discuss marriage in the future. ”

Zhihua smiled: "Mother Han's idea is good!" Bailan, you just wait, hum ......"

At this moment, Bai Lan's face also turned red: "Mother Han, you just help Miss bully me!" I won't tell you, I'm going to ask my future uncle for a reward, Han's mother's share, I won't help you bring it back! After saying that, she "fled" without looking back.

Mother Han shook her head with a smile, and didn't take the threat of this girl to heart, and gathered back to report the trivial matters in the house when the young lady was sleeping.

"The county lord of Minyi sent Miss Jiangzhu to send a congratulatory gift yesterday, and not long after the young lady fell asleep, the young lady did not let the slaves and maids wake up the young lady. The county lord said that the young lady must be very busy these days, so she will not come to make trouble. Three days later, I will come to the door in person to congratulate you. ”

Zhihua ironed in her heart, smiling and bowing slightly.

"And over there in Songling Courtyard, just now Mother Liu came to the news, the old lady she ......" Mother Han took a few steps forward and said a few words in Zhihua's ear.

Zhihua, who was in a good mood, didn't take this little trick to heart at all, and the smile on her face did not diminish: "Let her go, I will also take this opportunity to see how the eldest lady will choose." ”

After two lifetimes of experience in the backyard, what kind of slave loyalty can be used, and what kind of subordinate can be bought, Zhihua can know at a glance. In the past few years of secret management, all the hospitals in the Lu Mansion have eyeliner bought by Qiuhua Academy. These bribed subordinates, except for passing on the news, Zhihua never let them do anything, so in the past two years, none of them have been discovered. (To be continued.) )
