Chapter 9 External and Internal Troubles
As soon as Jing Wushuang's words fell, Su's mother strode forward and dragged the woman out and slapped her twice, making a crackling sound, scaring the dozen or so people in the yard.
Jing Wushuang's cold gaze swept around everyone's faces, and found that fear appeared on most of the people's faces, and he guessed what was going on as soon as he thought about it. Before, Mama Hu was disdainful when she talked about Mrs. Housekeeper, and then Mama Su talked about the kitchen, presumably because the Yuan family was born in a small family, and she didn't know that the management of her subordinates needed grace and power, and the subordinates who were usually loose and used to it would leak timidity.
Sure enough, it was not only the mother-in-law in the kitchen who was beaten, but everyone who came with her was also silent, looking at Su's mother's eyes full of happiness, glad that Su's mother didn't go up to stop her when she was taking things in the kitchen, look at how strong her hands were, and the corners of the mother-in-law's mouth were bloody after two slaps.
Mama Wang was originally a subordinate brought in by the Yuan family from the outside, and she was immediately frightened enough, pointing at Jing Wushuang and about to speak, Jing Wushuang had already rushed in front of her and asked:
"Mama Wang, right, you also have to point fingers at me?" Seeing that Mama Wang quickly withdrew her hand, Jing Wushuang nodded lightly, "You people who dare to collide with the master are lucky, today is the day when Young Master Xi and I are happy, otherwise it will not be just such an easy thing as two slaps." However, you came to remind me that I should go to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to ask, who is the master and who is the subordinate in this Ronghua Princess Mansion, and the master can be pointed at and said 'stealing' when he eats some food, I don't know whose rules it is. ”
As he spoke, Jing Wushuang greeted Mother Su and Liu Lu in the wing room behind, and it seemed that he planned to go to the outer courtyard to ask now.
This can't be done, there are still guests in the outer courtyard who have not dispersed, and the dignity that the Yuan family has worked so hard to maintain will be exposed if Jing Wushuang's question is revealed. The thoughts in Mama Wang's mind turned, her face changed greatly, and she flew over and pulled Jing Wushuang's sleeve, "Grandma is angry!" It's all slaves and maids, isn't it? Oh, no, the slave maid and the others are not here to ask the master for sin, the slave and the others are here to say hello to Young Master Xi and the eldest grandmother! ”
Jing Wushuang smiled secretly in her heart, she was not the impulsive and reckless character she used to be, how could she do too much if she was still black-eyed; It's a pity that Mama Wang was by Yuan's side before, and she listened to what kind of person Jing Wushuang was like. In Yuan's plan, her dowry was withheld after today, and no matter how she jumped, even if it had nothing to do with leaving the mansion, so Mama Wang's top priority was to do everything possible to stabilize Jing Wushuang.
After a confrontation, Mama Wang retreated, not only should she take Su's mother to the big kitchen to get the rice noodles in the Summer Garden for ten days to chew, but also paid an extra sterling silver hairpin to Su's mother.
sent Mama Wang to take people away, and Jing Wushuang simply asked Mama Hu to gather all the people in the Summer Palace. In addition to Hu Ma's mother and son, there are a total of four subordinates in the Summer Palace, namely Guixiang, a first-class maid who takes care of Qin Ruixi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, a rough maid Yuanzi, and Lin Laogen and his wife who guard the door and sweep the yard.
Jing Wushuang stood on the steps of the wing, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four people at the bottom of the steps. Guixiang is fifteen years old, dressed very prominently, and her eyes don't look like an honest person when she turns around; The circle is smaller, only thirteen, coarse cloth clothes, big hands and feet, and a simple smile on his face, probably the kind of honest person who shouts and moves; Lin Laogen and his wife are in their fifties, Lin Laogen is lame, and Mrs. Lin is blind in one eye, and she is useless.
After a few words, Jing Wushuang waved his hand, "Guixiang stays, you all disperse." ”
Guixiang's father and mother are the original family slaves of the princess's mansion, after the death of Princess Ronghua, many people were taken back to the Zongren Mansion to rearrange, Guixiang's father and mother pretended to be sick and stayed, one was Qin Zhi's constant follower, and the other became the mother of the house. When Guixiang's father and mother were waiting for Qin Ruixi by the Yuan family, Guixiang also fell in love with Qin Ruixi at first sight, but she couldn't bear that Qin Ruixi was really bad brain, her words and deeds were no different from those of a six- or seven-year-old child, and she didn't know what was going on, Qin Ruixi rejected her very much, and after a long time, Guixiang also stopped thinking about it, and wanted to please the Yuan family to go back to the main courtyard.
Jing Wushuang didn't mention the big kitchen after ordering Guixiang's name, but told her a few words earnestly, to the effect that in the future, she will still be a first-class maid in the Summer Palace, and she must unite and love Yunyun, having said that, as for whether to listen to Jing Wushuang or not, she didn't think about it, anyway, if she commits a crime next time, she won't have good fruit to eat.
Sent away the "external enemy", and there are internal troubles! Jing Wushuang asked Mama Hu to go to the main house to take care of Qin Ruixi first, cheered up and returned to the wing room, motioned to Liu Lu to find a stool for her, and sat in front of Taohong.
"Tell me, how much benefit did Jing Shuangxue give you? Still is...... You've always been her person. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Taohong's body trembled and her eyes widened, but Liu Lu also showed a look of doubt, she and Taohong were together all day long, how could she not know that she had something to do with the second lady.
"Miss, the slave doesn't." Peach tried to quibble, but halfway through speaking, her heart skipped a beat to Jing Wushuang's indifferent eyes and lowered her head.
"At this time, Jing Shuangxue and Cheng Zhiheng are afraid that they have already married in the church, right?" Jing Wushuang's eyes were still indifferent, "Peach, you won't forget who your deed of sale is, right?" ”
A gentle sentence finally made the peach like thunder, and her body trembled like a leaf in the wind! Yes, although the second miss made a bunch of promises, but the thing didn't work out, and her deed of sale is still in the hands of the young lady, what's the use of continuing to grit her teeth and not say anything?
Before she could speak, Liu Lu had already knelt down beside Jing Wushuang with a puff, "Miss, the slave is guilty!" ”
The two maids are both scheming, and Liu Lu herself is the person of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, but in order to show her virtue, these two maids and the deed of sale of those people in Jing Wushuang's original courtyard were given to Jing Wushuang. The original Jing Wushuang was willful and rude, and he either beat and scolded the two maids, how could there be not many loyal people who could not find another way out.
Liu Lu and Tao Hong were both ordered by Mrs. Weiyuan Hou to hide the truth about Jing Wushuang's marriage, and the purpose was naturally their respective deeds of sale. However, in addition to the deed of sale, Taohong also had a careful mind about Cheng Zhiheng, and was seduced by Jing Shuangxue, who was about to become Cheng Zhiheng's wife, and immediately turned her back on the enemy, and Jing Shuangxue separately designed a scene for Jing Wushuang to "elope" when she got married. Peach Red is already ingenious, and in order to win Jing Wushuang's sympathy, she even explained the whole thing clearly.
It's a pity that I don't know which link went wrong, Jing Wushuang didn't go to the Cheng family as they imagined, but became the grandmother of the Qin family. What shocked Taohong and Liulu was that Jing Wushuang listened to the whole process with such an indifferent face, and there was no tendency to be angry at all, but it made the two even more frightened!
