"What?" The fifth lady could hardly believe her ears, Mrs. Tai actually asked her to hand over the power of stewardship?

"Mother!"

Mrs. Tai looked at her niece who was so anxious that she had already stood up, and sighed secretly in her heart, this niece is good at everything, but she is a little too calm and not delicate enough. I had to give her a few more words.

"Mama Wang, pour a cup of herbal tea for Mrs. Five, and let her calm down first."

The fifth lady took the tea, sat down a little sneeringly, and patiently drank the herbal tea before daring to raise her eyes to look at her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Tai said at this time: "Head ago, the fourth child complained that I was biased, and he was not wrong in what he said, for so many decades, my heart has been biased towards the second room and your fifth room." Although Shuo'er is my most valued son, the fifth child is my youngest son, and I love him the most, and you are my niece, so my heart is naturally towards you. ”

"Hefu knows that I don't think much of the four rooms, and they really can't afford to make people look at them, originally I didn't plan to hand over the power of the housekeeper to the four rooms, but now it seems that instead of letting them make endless troubles to seize power, it is better to give them the right to give them the right to feed first."

"Mother means—" Mrs. Fifth vaguely understood.

"After all, the fourth child is now taking the title, and it is indeed more justifiable to change the name, so we might as well retreat and give up the right to be a steward first. According to the temperament over there, to manage this big uncle's mansion, sooner or later there will be some mistakes, but I am afraid that it will not be small, and then we will have a name and take back the right to be a steward. ”

Although the fifth wife understands what her mother-in-law means, she has only held the power in her hands for a few months, and Fang has placed a few henchmen in important positions, and the foundation has not yet been solid, so she has to hand over this power again, she is really a little unwilling!

Seeing her hesitation, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but say angrily: "Instead of waiting for the door to come to the door and question you about the rumors of the Wei girl in the house, it is better to put away your hand first and take the initiative to give it to them, and it looks better on your face." It's you who blocked the calculation over there, so what about the next time, what about the next time? There are only a thousand days of thieves in this world, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, rather than always being remembered by them, in case of which time is taken by a big handle over there and a ruthless army, it is difficult to turn over at that time. It's better to hand it over to them first, and let's find their leaks. ”

The fifth lady thought about it carefully, although she was still a little reluctant, but she also understood that Mrs. Tai's decision was really clever, so she also nodded and said: "The daughter-in-law listens to her mother, but it is up to her mother to decide." ”

Mrs. Tai also simply, without delay, immediately ordered someone to wait at the gate, and when she saw that the fourth master was back, she invited him over.

By the time Aunt Liu in the main courtyard got the letter, the fourth master had already returned from the old lady's upper courtyard. Aunt Liu saw the joy on his face, and hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, you are back, the slave family is thinking about the uncle!" Why did you come back so late today, I heard the girls say that the uncle was called by the old lady, but for that matter? ”

It turned out that Zhou Caiwei was not bad, and the gossip about her private meeting with a foreign man was discussed by Aunt Liu and her cousin, in order to take advantage of the fifth wife's shortcomings so that she could return to the housekeeper's power. I deliberately found a mother-in-law who was familiar with Mama Guo in the past, gave her two taels of silver and taught her something to say, and asked her to talk to Mama Guo like this one day. I thought that the girl surnamed Zhou must have listened to those words, and found Mrs. Tai to make trouble.

I didn't want to think about it, but the fourth master shook his head, "Mother didn't mention it. ”

Aunt Liu asked him, "What did the old lady call her uncle for?" ”

The fourth old man laughed, shook his head proudly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my mother finally understood the reason, and actually called me to go, and took the initiative to say that she would hand over the right of the housekeeper back to us." ”

"Huh?" Aunt Liu might as well make this matter as simple as this, "Then the old lady didn't say anything else, and didn't mention the matter of the cousin?" ”

The fourth master took a sip of tea, "I didn't mention a word, I don't know it, so it's okay, we just want to take back the right to be a housekeeper, and now my mother has asked the fifth wife to hand over the card account book to the fourth wife, we have already agreed, Zhou Yatou is not to mention the matter again, after all, her mother is in Japan, and I am the best among the brothers." ”

Aunt Liu was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but ask more, "How is the old lady's complexion, and there is no anger on his face, right?" ”

At this moment, the fourth master was not happy, and turned his face blank, "What do you mean by this?" It's rare for my mother to give me this dignity, and even you think that your mother must not be willing, right? ”

So bluffed that Aunt Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground to explain to him, and accompanied him, all kinds of petty and gentle words said a lot of cars before the fourth master was coaxed into a smile again, and ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and wanted to eat a few cups with her.

Aunt Liu poured him wine, and on the other hand, she secretly hated in her heart, hating that the girl of the Zhou family did not go to the old lady to complain, if she originally thought, it was best for the old lady to hear about this, and then get angry and sick, and it would be best to return to the West as soon as possible. As soon as this old lady goes, the uncle is the biggest in the house, and when the time comes, I will think of letting the uncle take a break from the fourth wife, straighten her up, and see who can jump out to stop the uncle.

What's even better is that she can also use the old lady who is sick to give the Zhou family a disrespectful grandmother's name, and when the time comes, the family that is married to her dares to marry her again, and does not ask her to marry, so she is sent to the family temple to shave her hair and be a sister-in-law to pray for the old lady to atone for her sins, and now, her dowry of 60,000 taels of silver has not become something in this house, that is, her thing.

It's just a pity that this girl didn't go to the old lady, and I don't know if she didn't dare or for other reasons, it's a pity that she had such a great opportunity, she thought that she could kill two birds with one stone, and it was in vain that her cousin gave her this good idea.

On the second day, the whole of the Hefu knew that the stewardship had been returned from the hands of the fifth room to the hands of the fourth room.

Although the fourth wife has a soft temperament and is a little cowardly, because she was raised by her mother's side when she was a child, she also learned the housekeeper and director, but she suddenly handed over all kinds of things to her, and it was inevitable that she was a little busy and overwhelmed. Fortunately, she is still living in the old lady's upper room, and the old lady is pointing from the side, but she has not left the big picture.

The fourth wife was willing to live with the old lady to honor her mother-in-law, but unfortunately she was willing, but Aunt Liu was not happy. The housekeeper's mother lives in the courtyard of the lady, so how can she meddle in it? Then he blew the pillow wind in front of the fourth master all night, and asked the fourth master to take the fourth wife back to the main courtyard.

When the fourth old man went to ask his wife for someone, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that his old lady would not let him go, but he didn't think about it, Mrs. Tai was just silent for a while, and then nodded and agreed, and even the fourth lady said that she would accompany the old lady for a few more days, and then learn some housekeeping from the old lady, Mrs. Tai did not agree, and asked her to pack up her things and move back to the main courtyard.

The fourth lady saw that the old lady was determined to let her go, so she went to the west wing to complain to Yizhi, and Yizhi had to comfort her for a long time before sending her away. turned around and entered the curtain, and did not go back to her room, and came to Cai Wei's side again, and did not need Cai Wei to greet her, so he leaned on the kang and complained: "It took me a long time to talk about my lips and tongue, and my mouth is dry, and the sweet orange girl will quickly make me a bowl of your girl's good tea to moisten my throat." ”

Cai Wei smiled and said: "I don't have any good tea here, but it's just the few taels of Mengding nectar brought from Shuzhong, isn't it half for you, why did you come to me to beg for tea again?" ”

While the two were talking and laughing, Gan Tang had already used a small green wood tea tray to hold two bowls of tea, and also joked: "Maybe it's because of my good tea-making skills that the eldest lady likes to come to us to drink tea?" ”

Yizhi took the tea bowl and took a sip before smiling: "You girls have been damaged by your girl all day long, and you will put gold on your face!" ”

After eating tea for a while and laughing a few words, Yizhi asked her, "Actually, I also feel a little strange about this, my grandmother has always been unwilling to see my father, how could she give this housekeeper to Sifang so quickly." If my mother still lives in this courtyard, it would be fine, and my grandmother is watching, and there will be no big trouble, but why did my grandmother agree to let my mother go back to the main courtyard over there? Mother went back this time, I was afraid that Aunt Liu would definitely get involved in the power of the housekeeper and make waves! ”

Cai Wei thought about it, but she didn't say the sentence "If you want to take it, you must give it first", although she guessed the old lady's intentions, but Yizhi is the daughter of the fourth room, or it is better to say less. I wanted to tell me about the incident related to her a few days ago, but I was afraid that Yizhi would feel sorry for her when she heard it, so she felt sorry, so she had to say: "Since my grandmother arranged it like this, I want to have her intentions." The fourth aunt and aunt have seen that after that scene, they have also stood up a little, that Liu is just an aunt, and it will not be so easy for her to get involved in the housekeeping business. I'm just worried if she'll come up with some tricks to trick you. ”

Yizhi didn't care, "What else do I have to tell her to calculate now, at most, it's just secretly deducting my use, what else?" ”

However, a few days later, Yizhi realized that she was too naïve.
