Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that Sun Fuji, the wife of the new chief steward, walked in with an angry face, and scolded the Fei mother-in-law and said: "You old goods, grandma is looking for you everywhere, but you are hiding here and angry with your aunt, but you are really getting fatter!" No matter how much grandma values you now, you are just a slave like me, where can a slave dare to rob a noble guest like Mrs. Gu to rob Li'er of white quarrels? Could it be that you have poured too much yellow soup and become dizzy, that is, our grandmother has to shout aunt when she sees his aunt, you are an old rammer who dares to collide like this, you really should be punished! ”

Cai Wei saw that although this Sun Fujia was shouting to be beaten and punished, she didn't see her say how to punish her, and her words sounded like she was standing up for Aunt Zhao, but why did it sound a little wrong?

Because this Sun Fu's family is the companion room of Grandma Jun, as soon as Sun Xiluan got the right to be a housekeeper, within a few days, he used the excuse to find a mistake of the original housekeeper Zheng Ping, and let Sun Fu become the big housekeeper, and his daughter-in-law became the first housekeeper in the Bofu.

Although this Fei Pozi only got to the position by tying up Aunt Liu, she did everything possible to please the eldest grandmother and the people under her. At this time, seeing that although Sun Fujia was powerful, he quietly glanced at her, and knew that this was just pretending, so he deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, and said: "The little one originally wanted to go to the grandmother to serve as soon as he finished sending the clothes to his aunt, but he didn't want his aunt to say that I had embezzled the money used to make clothes, and it was shoddy, and only made some tattered materials into clothes to perfunctory, and said that this was all because the eldest grandmother didn't know anyone, and she actually used a treacherous villain like me." ”

"Mrs. Gu doesn't like the little one, and she can say whatever she wants, but the good reputation of this big grandmother can't be called a small one, so the little one dares to say a few words for the big grandmother in front of Mrs. Gu. The little one only cares about maintaining the big grandmother, and when he is in a hurry, he can't help but lose his sense of proportion in his words, and he bumps into Mrs. Gu, and asks Mrs. Gu to ignore the villain, don't be like me, a villain, so spare my wife this time! ”

Sun Fu's family also laughed with Aunt Zhao: "Although this Mrs. Fei's words are not very good, but everything is true. The eldest grandmother also wants to show the dignity of our uncle's house, so she treats the ladies well, and wants to add a few good clothes to everyone. But now the account in the house is so small, even if the eldest grandmother takes out her dowry and pastes a lot, it is still not enough to add all the ladies and misses. I have to grieve you and a few young ladies for the time being, after all, you don't go out and walk around in this house. This grandmother also knew, and specially asked me to come over and explain to Mrs. Gu, for fear that Mrs. Gu would be annoyed with us, and if she moved out in a fit of anger, wouldn't it be our sin, but let outsiders say that our uncle can't even tolerate a relative. ”

Even Aunt Zhao could hear that something was wrong, although the two of them had a □□ face and a white face, it was not that they looked down on her, the aunt who lived in her mother's house.

The words on the face of the partiality were very good, so that she didn't know how to refute for a while, and suddenly saw Cai Wei standing on the side, and said: "There is a sentence I also want to explain, the old man said that I eat and live in this house for nothing, I also said that I want to give the house some money for daily expenses, but my brothers don't want it, just say that they are all flesh and blood, if you are still such a brother, and the accounts are settled, it is too raw, but it is chilling." If you insist on saying that I eat for nothing and live for nothing, and want me to be thrifty, then that's fine, but what about Sister Wei? Her father gave her a dowry of 60,000 taels, and only her shop in the grange in Beijing could earn two or three thousand taels of silver a year. And all the things that should be needed daily have been taken a few times to fill the number? ”

"Since you have taken the income of two or three thousand taels of silver a year from other orphans, why don't you get a few good clothes for others to wear? Sister Wei, you can also take a look, the four clothes pointed out to you, the material and color are even worse than ours, but I am afraid that it is slightly better than what this Fei Pozi wears, which is a young lady who can wear it and see people? ”

Cai Wei didn't want her aunt to pull herself in, could it be that she also wanted her to introduce a daughter to a housekeeper mother-in-law? He pursed his lips and lowered his head, not saying a word.

She didn't want to reason with a subordinate, but Sun Fujia wanted to reason with her, a cousin, "If you really want to talk about it, in fact, Zhou cousin girl doesn't have two or three thousand taels of silver to this mansion all year round." Didn't Mrs. Xiantou say that the annual income was handed over to her to collect all the money for Miss Zhoubiao to save up, but Mrs. Tai didn't collect it, and in the past two years, the harvest in the fields was not good, and Miss Zhoubiao only had a few hectares of land, and she couldn't collect a few taels of silver in a year. The business of the silk shop is even worse, and now the fashion in Beijing is Su Jin and Su embroidery, where are there still people to buy Shu brocade, not to mention making money, but to post money in the Bofu. The two rented out stores, because of the bad business, even the stores have run away, and they still owe several months of rent money! Now it's empty there, and no one wants to rent it. This is the same as your old man! "The same thing is to eat and live in this house for nothing.

When Mama Guo heard this, she couldn't help but want to speak, but suddenly saw Cai Wei look back at her and shook her head slightly, although she was extremely angry in her heart, she had to hold back and not say anything first. When she returned to the West Wing, as soon as she entered the inner room, Mama Guo couldn't help but ask her why the girl in her family was blocking her from the theory of the Sun Fu family.

"Girl, the Sun Fu's family is obviously talking nonsense, I will go to our shops to inquire when I go back to the house, the two rented out shops, originally with the rented store for five years, but I don't know what method that the person used to force it away, and replaced it with two other shops. There is also the girl's silk shop, I quietly asked our guys inside, there is no bad business at all, and dozens of taels of silver can be put into the account a day, not all of them are greedy, but they also want them to post money, how can there be such a conscience! ”

Mama Guo said indignantly, but Cai Wei looked indifferent, "What if Mama and her theory is clear, so let's make some money now, Mama can occasionally go out of the house to buy some things back, if Mama really theorizes with her, it is the theory that wins, what can it be, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to get out of this mansion in the future." ”

Mama Guo couldn't help but be stunned, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, and just let out a long sigh at the end, this person is under the eaves, how can he not bow his head, who let them live on other people's territory now, one has no status and two have no power, so they have to look at people's faces to live, and they have to endure one or two for the time being.

Since moving to this Qiutang Courtyard, the daily necessities that are sent over every month are either lacking in the east and west, or they can't be used, if you really can't go out of the house quietly to buy some things to deal with it, I don't know how many grievances your own girl will suffer?

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that right now, Mama Guo held it in her hand and looked at Cai Wei's four sets of newly made clothes, while helping her girl put on and try them on, she couldn't stop sighing, "Alas, such a poor fabric color, and cut like this, how can this be worn!" ”

Those four sets of clothes are really as Aunt Zhao said, but I'm afraid that they are not as good as those worn by some decent housekeepers. Not only is the color of the material old and poor, but it is also cut wide and extremely unfitting. Zhou Caiwei was originally slender like a tender willow, and when she put on such a fat and ugly skirt, she looked bloated and swollen like a bun, which made people very sad.

"Girl, why don't I go out again? I'm going to buy two pieces of good material and rulers, so I can make you two more clothes to wear, these clothes really can't be worn out to meet people! Mama Guo helped her change her dress and couldn't help but say.

"Okay, what do you want to waste money to make another garment? These clothes are just a little worse in material, not broken, not rotten, and not brightly colored, why can't they be worn? I now stay in this Qiutang courtyard all day, and I don't have to go to my grandmother to say goodbye, and I rarely see guests, even if I dress poorly, it's okay. "Cai Wei doesn't take it seriously.

Mama Guo was anxious, "Why don't you do anything?" In a few days, it will be the birthday of Grandma Jun in this house, and she can ask the girl to go and celebrate her birthday as well. At this time, in front of so many wives, grandmothers and ladies, you are the only girl dressed like this......"

Speaking of this, her nurse said angrily: "The second aunt and the two mothers-in-law quarreled, but it was not for nothing, at least it forced the Sun rich family to agree to make another set of new clothes for her mother and daughter so that they could wear them at the birthday banquet of Grandma Jun. "Even Mama Guo is honest and loyal, and she knows that most of the new clothes made for Qiutang Courtyard are not her girl's share.

"That kid just wants to see my jokes, so it's better to follow their wishes, so that they don't have a plan, and they have another plan, and then they have to make trouble with other demon moths to trouble us. Heng Zhi was just ridiculed and ridiculed by them, and the King of Huaiyin had been humiliated by □□ in the past, but now I am just dressed ugly. They don't have a face for me when they think like this, but in fact, in the eyes of those who understand, I don't know who is more ashamed? ”

"What's more, if your girl is so beautiful and beautiful, if she dresses up carefully, won't she be going to dominate and compare them all? This is not good, my father is in Japan, and he often tells me that it is better to be a low-key person, and not too public, especially a beauty like me! ”

Everyone was depressed, but when they heard her words, they all laughed. What they are most afraid of is that Cai Wei is unhappy, seeing that she is not only unconcerned, but can also tell some naughty jokes to amuse everyone, so she no longer has a bitter face like before.

Although Cai Wei deliberately said these boastful jokes just to comfort the people around her, she didn't want to let her escape because of her low-key behavior.
