Chapter 33: The Battle (1)
Since Aunt Li was pregnant, she locked herself in Yiting every day and didn't come out, and she specially asked Ren Jiulong to get her a small kitchen, and almost everything she had to do was brought by herself, and she was not allowed to interfere. Approaching the end of the year, Aunt Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is becoming more and more arrogant. As long as she can give birth to a son in this fetus, the Ren family will have her place, and no one can shake it - the Zhang family is old, mentally bad, and has no heart to fight; The two difficult ones have promised to be married; Dai Zhong himself was in a mess, and he was not at home after joining the army; Daixing is a very obedient person, isn't it obvious who will be in charge of the family in the future?
Aunt Li was proud of this spring breeze, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance, and the whole yard was so impenetrable that it was almost impossible to start.
Hongyan couldn't move her, so she could only sit in Bangxiaju, and was sending a daughter-in-law who came to ask for silver to repair Lianli Lake; Her eyes hurt a little from handling housework for a long time, she rubbed her eyes and complained, "Everything costs money, why didn't you buy some better wood in the first place?" I thought that if it was broken, I would find the master to take the money, so that I could be greedy! Anyway, no one goes to the lake this season, so I just nail it up to fill it. β
The daughter-in-law was still smiling, as if she was not saying that she was greedy just now: "Miss's words are wrong, nailed up, one is not reliable, what should I do if I drown people?" Not to mention the master, now that the slave is dead, he has to go to the yamen for the record. β
Hongyan closed his eyes and didn't look at it: "It's not that I'm stingy and refuses to give, now the Ren family is not as good as before, so I have to be careful with everything." Aunt Li is pregnant, everything is the best, and the family really has no extra money. If that is really dangerous, even if you go to ask for money from Aunt Li or Daddy, I don't have anyone here. β
The daughter-in-law sneered on her face.
Hongyan opened his eyes and said, "It's not that you can't give you money if you want it." My aunt has now allocated the money, and only subtracted the amount for her. β
As he spoke, Hongyan instructed Xiaomei: "Bookkeeping: Take a few pieces of money from my aunt and give her a few yuan, let her go to repair the work, whatever has to do with it is for her, and it doesn't matter to us." β
The daughter-in-law's face immediately turned bad.
The eldest lady is going to suppress the aunt again and use the aunt's hand to rectify her in the future, she has also seen it when the aunt is housekeeper, and the eldest lady is ruthless at a glance, and she can still live if she provokes her aunt? What's more, she is still pregnant with Liujia, and if she has a son, she doesn't want to stay in the mansion.
The daughter-in-law was bitter in her heart, and she couldn't refute it, so she could only smile dryly and take a few pieces of money that she had no time to give, and scolded her face countless times in her heart.
Seeing that she was unhappy and retreated, Hongyan snorted coldly: "In these years, even a mother-in-law dares to treat herself as a garlic, blatantly asking for money in front of my eyes, and she has no liver at heart." β
Zhang smiled: "There are too many such things, why should you be angry." β
Hongyan looked in the direction of Yiting: "I'm the one who is angry!" There's no way to cure her. β
Hongyan glared at Zhang's angrily: "I said mother, you are usually a delicate person, how can you be secret?" β
Zhang got up from the couch lazily, but his eyes were cold. She waved her hand to let everyone go down, leaving Hongyan and Xiaoxiao alone.
Zhang Shi combed his hair with his hands: "Do you remember that I told you to be careful of Yuntan?" β
Hongyan nodded.
Zhang said: "Who do you think is possible to let the Li family release water under your nose?" β
Hongyan realized, but still had questions: "Mother, why did she do this?" β
Zhang sneered: "Let me ask you, do you know why your grandfather has been able to stand in the court for many years?" β
Hongyan said: "My grandfather is good at himself, and he does not form a party for personal gain. β
Zhang smiled disdainfully: "Then don't you see that your father and Ah Da also wanted to be alone, can you?" Your father is the prince's party, and Ah Da is now on the prince's side, and the Ren family is standing on both sides, and His Majesty has let the lady concubine accompany him again. Your grandfather is the same, it's not so simple to stand alone, you can only stand when you have both feet steady. β
Xiaoxiao said: "Sister Yuntan is really capable, no matter which of us is the master in the end, she will not be bad." β
Zhang glanced at Xiaoxiao appreciatively, and then glared angrily: "Look, my sister is much smarter than you, where have you gone after so many years?" β
Hongyan grinned, not caring.
What Xiaoxiao said was nothing more than a conclusion based on Zhang's conclusions, and essentially said nothing. Zhang didn't really appreciate her, just gave her face.
Hongyan asked again: "Is she also in the Xing'er room?" β
"But it's not," Zhang's eyes reflected a sharp killing intent, "I haven't said half a word here, she thinks of herself as a quasi-big house, and she dares to take my son, what kind of identity is she!" β
Hongyan felt a chill on the back of his spine.
If she is not the young lady who is about to get married but the second son, then Yun Tan will not let her go. She couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart, such a beautiful, gentle, and empathetic person, who was suitable for her brother's red sleeves and fragrance, grew up together, and could actually harm others like this for her own interests. Spare herself the blood on her hands, still afraid.
Xiaoxiao saw that the atmosphere was awkward, and smiled and played a round: "Fortunately, Xing'er is a good one, and he still focuses on reading, and he has not been led away by that bad heart."
Zhang Shi nodded, and returned to the normal state of not caring about everything: "This is also the reason why I didn't send them down immediately." If Xing'er is really bad, where can I still let her be a concubine for your eldest aunt's family? β
Hongyan hated: "My mother is too good-natured, if I do, no matter how far she has done evil things, just because she has this bad intention, I will let her go outside and be sold again." β
"Are you really willing to give up?" Zhang Shi had a teasing smile on his face, and looked at her with slanted eyes, "You have no ability in your life, but you have a powerful mouth." If you really let you deal with it, you may not be more ruthless than me. β
Hongyan smiled dryly.
Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with a fan of cicada wing yarn.
Zhang's vision is really poisonous, and he looks at people accurately. Although Hongyan is also powerful, he is not as sophisticated as Zhang's. I have to work harder to watch and learn more, and strive to get some skills before getting married, so as not to be bullied by the Meng family.
Zhang's hands folded together and chanted the Buddha: "People are doing, and the sky is watching." How others are the business of others, there will be retribution in the end; I still have a variety of good because of the wonderful. β
Hongyan obediently responded: "Yes." β
Hongyan couldn't bear it: "Mother, then what are you going to do with Aunt Li and Ah Chen?" β
Zhang said: "Let Aunt Li raise it first, when a woman comes to the world, she doesn't experience the pain of giving birth, how can she have a thorough understanding?" As for Ah Chen, you can find a chance to send it down. β
Hongyan was not angry: "You really let Li Yahuang give birth to the child?" I can't swallow this breath. β
Zhang Shi lay down again, looking very unlucky: "You are willing to take care of her, you go." Anyway, my children are all older, and I'm not afraid of her. β
Hongyan immediately got up: "You allowed me to go, if something really happened, you don't care." β
Zhang seemed to smile: "She is not related to me, what do I care?" β
With a smile, he went out. Xiaoxiao saw Zhang's eyes closed, and hurriedly went to cover Zhang's quilt, and then called someone to come in and watch, so she dared to chase Hongyan.
Hongyan didn't go far, she just beckoned Wufang to come over, whispered in her ear, and let her go down. Hongyan saw Xiaoxiao chasing after her, and took Xiaoxiao's hand back to Ni Yu Tower: "Didn't you keep saying that you would wait and see?" It's a really good show to watch this time. β
The child, who had no time to obey the order, came to the kitchen and stood outside and ordered: "Prepare sacrificial supplies quickly, Miss Biao will mourn her parents at Lianli Lake." β
The cook responded: "I'm busy killing the soft-shelled turtle that my aunt wants to eat, so let Miss Cousin wait first." β
There was no time to scold: "What kind of soft-shelled turtle does a slave eat, Miss Biao is a serious relative in the house!" The eldest lady can't afford to eat soft-shelled turtles, and she just saved money to repair the monks, but you are richer than the master. β
The cook raised her eyebrows and replied: "You have a good mouth, you go to your aunt to scold, and it is a waste to tell us people." β
Flawless and annoyed, he just said: "Don't think I don't know what you do, where is the soft-shelled turtle that my aunt wants to eat?" It is clear that you bought it, bullied your aunt for not understanding the market, and then overreported the money to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said that she would reduce the amount of money in the house, and no one should eat it in the future! β
The cook threw down the soft-shelled turtle and chased it out to be flawless, and there was no time to run away.
The cook just scolded her for a long time.
Flawless didn't pay attention to her, she only saw that she had been hiding in the kitchen to monitor the cook, for fear that someone would take advantage of the opportunity, to send someone back to reply.
No time to smile.
The eldest lady will start with Aunt Li to reduce the amount of use, and according to her personality, she will definitely start to make trouble, and then she will go to Yuntan, give her money, and provoke the relationship between Yuntan and Aunt Li, Aunt Li will definitely make trouble with Yuntan, and wait for Aunt Li to destroy the Great Wall, see what she does.
There was no time to hurriedly go to Yuntan again.
Hongyan went back upstairs, and went to instruct Yang's again: "Sue SΓΉ Ah Lu, let her leave her father for the next few days, Aunt Li can get pregnant, we don't restrict her." β
Yang answered.
Xiaoxiao was a little nervous, after all, she was too well protected by her parents in the past and didn't know anything. Now that she is really involved in the battle of the house, she is a little afraid.
Hongyan sat down, drank tea leisurely, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiaomei: "You go and ask Xing'er to find Hong Kai, and say that you want to sell girls." β
Xiaomei was ignorant: "Who are you selling?" β
Hongyan's eyebrows furrowed: "If you talk more, I'll sell you!" β
Xiaomei pouted aggrievedly: "The slave is loyal to Miss, Miss still wants to sell me, Miss is too ruthless." β
Hongyan was about to get up and beat someone, but Xiaomei hurriedly ran out.
Hongyan couldn't cry or laugh: "Xiao'er, you have to take good care of your girls, you can't let them be so unruly." β
Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing.
Compared with the rules, she prefers a girl like Xiaomei who dares to treat her master as a friend but does not overstep it.
Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Juan, who was standing with her hands down.
So far, I haven't found anything abnormal about her, but since she has a criminal record, it is difficult to ensure that she will not make other mistakes, Hongyan has a way to send the girl and her aunt, and she can too!
