Chapter 80: Trouble
PS: The collection is growing so slowly......
The girls who passed by, put the puppet away~
Pairs?
Mu Qingwan was slightly stunned.
The house has always been in charge of the head of the house in the palm of the feed, these 20 years have been Zhao Youjun to control the Hou Fu feed, aside from the time in the capital, since coming to Huzhou, Mu Qingwan has not even seen what the pair of cards looks like.
Now, Feng Lin suddenly asked someone to send the pair of cards to Luo Shuixuan, what does it mean?
For a moment, Mu Qingwan didn't know how to react.
Seeing this, Feng Zhige motioned to Mama Li to take the box with the right cards handed over by Xiao Jin, and said, "Then it's time to bother Steward Xiao for this hard trip." β
The purpose of coming to Luo Shuixuan has been achieved, and Xiao Jin will not stay for a long time, even if he says goodbye to Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige.
Feng Zhige immediately motioned to Mama Li to send him off.
After Xiao Jin and Mama Li came out of the main room, Mu Qingwan came back to her senses, looking at the small box that Mama Li put on the low table in front of her, she looked at Feng Zhige: "Zhige, this, what's going on?" How did the pair of cards come to Luo Shui Xuan? β
Mu Qing was frightened by the dead soldier sent by Zhao Youjun every night, and was awakened by a nightmare for several nights, and Feng Zhige didn't tell her about the follow-up of the dead soldier. Mama Li, who knows best, is not a mouthyman, so until now, Mu Qingwan doesn't know the current situation in the Hou Mansion.
There is too much darkness and filth involved, Feng Zhige didn't plan to talk to Mu Qingwan in detail, Wen Yan just stuffed the box into Mu Qingwan's hand, and said as a matter of course: "Mother, you were originally the rightful lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and the right to feed the house should naturally be handed over to you, what is the doubt?" β
Mu Qingwan suddenly thought of the grandmother who was cut off by her daughter that day, and that day Zhige seemed to have said that she would go to Chengmingtang to give Zhao Youjun a return gift, and afterwards she did let Mama Li go to Chengmingtang with the box with the broken arm.
It's only been a few days, and the cards in the house have been sent to Luo Shuixuan, even if Mu Qingwan doesn't know what Feng Zhige has done, he can be sure that this matter must have nothing to do with Feng Zhige.
Zhige is not yet in time, but he has to plan these things for himself, a mother. Mu Qingwan was relieved and ashamed, and muttered: "Stop singing......"
Feng Zhige didn't know what Mu Qingwan was thinking at this time, so he had to change the topic and said, "Mother, you still have to think about how to manage the house in the future." If I am not mistaken, after a while, the stewards of the inner courtyard will come to Luo Shuixuan to listen to orders, these people are used to praising high and stepping on low, you can't show cowardice in front of them. Let them look down on them. β
Mu Qingwan smiled slightly when she heard this, and her demeanor was dignified.
Today's Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not as good as the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital, she can take care of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner when she is in the capital, no one can say anything bad, how can she show her cowardice in front of these Hou Mansion stewards. Although it is a little rusty because I haven't been exposed to these for too long, it is just a process of re-familiarization.
Mu Qingwan thought about it like this, and a heart that was mentioned was put down.
Besides, she can't hide behind her daughter like this all the time, so that her daughter, who should be protected by her, will protect her instead.
Mu Qingwan doesn't want to make a profit for herself or let others look down on her after getting the right to feed, but at least. After she slapped the feed, no one would dare to despise her song.
Even if it is to stop singing, she must take care of the Hou Mansion well!
Looking at her daughter beside her, Mu Qingwan's expression unconsciously became resolute, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart.
As Feng Zhige expected, not long after Xiao Jin left, many stewards in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion gathered in Luo Shuixuan.
Before the eldest girl in the mansion woke up, Luo Shuixuan was a taboo in the entire Hou Mansion, because they were taboo by Zhao Youjun, these stewards had never come here. Therefore, as Mama Li walked inside, her face was almost full of curiosity, and she looked around as she walked.
Seeing these stewards, Mu Qingwan did not choose to be in the main room. Instead, a spacious and bright room was selected in the hugging buildings on both sides of the main house and arranged into a small hall, which will also be chosen here when the council is in the future.
Because Feng Lin clearly said that in the future, the middle feed in the house will be handed over to Luo Shuixuan, and these stewards all have the account books of the past in their hands.
When I entered the hall, I saw Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige sitting in the first place, and everyone bowed down together.
"The slave (slave) has seen the lady, the eldest girl."
Whether it's out of admiration or someone's suggestion. No one knows what these people think in their hearts, but they all call Mu Qingwan "madam" with an opportunity in their mouths, and their faces are even more respectful.
Of course, Mu Qingwan didn't think that these people were convinced of her, but she didn't care, this was not an overnight process, but said gently, "Everyone get up and speak." β
Everyone got up, and although they tried their best to control it, there were still people who couldn't hold back and secretly looked at Mu Qingwan from the corner of their eyes.
"I just took over the affairs of the house today, and now it is difficult to sort out a clue, you might as well report the matters that need to be dealt with urgently according to the priority, and deal with these things first, and the rest, wait for me to carefully read the account books in the past few days and then deal with them, what do you think?" Mu Qing said late.
Although the tone is gentle, it is not like that of a weak and deceitful person.
Of course, the stewards didn't dare to bully each other, after all, there was a big girl sitting next to her.
Speaking of which, the reason why the lady is so sick that she can't be a director has nothing to do with the eldest girl.
If it weren't for the eldest girl who went to the outer study to cry, how could the Hou Ye, who had always cared about the affairs of the back house, think of handing over the feed to Luo Shuixuan?
So the stewards stepped forward one after another.
"Madam, the monthly silver should have been distributed to everyone five days ago......
"The cost of repairs in various parts of the house last month has not been settled with those shops......
"The Midyear Festival is approaching, and the ancestral worship matters in the house, river lantern paper ingots and other things have not yet been prepared......"
There are definitely a lot of big and small things in the Hou Mansion, but because of Mu Qingwan's words, everyone only reported some things that needed to be dealt with urgently, Mu Qingwan listened carefully one by one, and then made a decision after thinking about it.
So all the stewards were secretly relieved.
Regardless of whether some of these people are loyal to Zhao Youjun, and no matter if anyone wants to do anything in secret, but since the power of the middle feed is in the hands of Mu Qingwan, they will naturally have to deal with Mu Qingwan often in the future. In the end, it's not them?
As Mu Qingwan ordered things one by one, the atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed than before.
Seeing that the things that should be dealt with were almost dealt with, Mu Qingwan was about to order everyone to disperse. But I heard that Mama Lin suddenly poked her head outside the door, and saw that Mu Qingwan had noticed her, so she quickly stepped forward to Mu Qingwan's side and said softly: "Madam, the second girl is here." ζ xΓΉ...... Somewhat excited. β
In fact, Feng Mingwu was not only a little excited, he was almost shouting and shouting to kill.
Mama Lin was picked by Feng Zhige to be Luo Shuixuan's housekeeper, since Mama Li returned to Feng Zhige, she went to the main room, still in charge of Luo Shuixuan's affairs, but only served Mu Qingwan alone.
Although Mama Lin said quietly, the stewards present could survive in the back house, even if not all of them were as good as old foxes, but at least they were all deaf and clear-sighted. I heard Mama Lin's words clearly.
Everyone knew it.
The second girl has never been good-tempered, but this is not a good person.
Zhao Youjun has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for twenty years, and some of these stewards are naturally loyal to her, even if Zhao Youjun has lost the right to feed now, these people are also convinced that she will definitely make a comeback.
Hearing Feng Mingwu's arrival, these people subconsciously thought that this was Zhao Youjun's move, and they unconsciously looked forward to it.
Mu Qingwan frowned slightly.
The timing chosen by Feng Ming Dance is not bad.
Speaking from her heart, although Mu Qingwan didn't think about dealing with a child, Feng Mingwu's brutal and willful temper really made Mu Qingwan reluctant to see her.
It can be expected that Mu Qingwan will take over the right to feed in his hands. Feng Mingwu made trouble with Luo Shuixuan, if she was allowed to come in, I am afraid that the entire Luo Shuixuan would be a chicken, fly and dog jump again.
But at this time, in front of so many government officials. If she didn't let Feng Mingwu in, it would inevitably make these people think that Zhao Youjun would lose power, so she wouldn't take Feng Mingwu in her eyes, and secondly, she showed her cowardice in front of these stewards, I am afraid that she finally made them feel a little convinced today. And that's it.
Therefore, after some thought, Mu Qingwan bowed her head slightly and instructed Mama Lin: "Let her come in." β
Mama Lin retreated in response, and led Feng Mingwu in just a moment.
To be precise, it was not Mama Lin who brought Feng Mingwu in, but Feng Mingwu rushed in directly with a bunch of maids and women in Luoxia Courtyard and Mama Lin aside, because of the large number of people, the hall was crowded in just an instant.
If there are people who make Feng Mingwu afraid in addition to Zhao Youjun and Feng Lin, then Feng Zhige must be one of them, it seems that since Feng Zhige woke up, every time Feng Mingwu saw her, she always suffered some losses in the end.
Feng Mingwu led the people into the house with a menacing momentum, glaring viciously at Mu Qingwan, who was sitting on the main seat, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of Feng Zhige sitting aside, his momentum couldn't help but stagnate.
However, in a blink of an eye, seeing so many stewards present, Feng Mingwu felt bold again, her mother has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and I don't know how many of these stewards are still secretly loyal to her mother, and Feng Zhige didn't dare to do anything in front of her in front of so many people.
Therefore, Feng Mingwu is indeed very similar to Zhao Youjun, whether it is his bad temper or his temperament of never remembering to eat or fight.
So, Feng Mingwu deliberately didn't look in the direction of Feng Zhige, pinched his waist with one hand, and pointed rudely at Mu Qingwan with the other, his face was full of domineering, and he had a red mouth and a small mouth, which was an ugly swear word: "You cheap woman, my mother is the real Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, and the middle feed in the house is also something that you, a woman of unknown origin, can interfere with?" If you know each other, return the pair to my mother as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you! β
Although he was only twelve years old, Feng Mingwu undoubtedly inherited all the advantages of Feng Lin and Zhao Youjun.
If she didn't speak, just stood there quietly, Feng Mingwu's delicate and dazzling appearance was definitely able to make people's eyes shine, but when she opened her mouth, not only did the good impression she gave people before disappear in an instant, but also made many of the stewards present secretly frown.
If it was really Mrs. who asked the second girl to come over, then they had to say that Mrs. had made a mistake this time.
Speaking of which, it was really not Zhao Youjun's idea for Feng Ming to dance to Luo Shuixuan.
At the lotus banquet before, Feng Mingwu saw Wu Hongwen and Aunt Qian rolling on the bed, and was quite frightened at that time, even if he came back to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion later. I often have nightmares because of this.
Because of this, Zhao Youjun has been detaining her in Luoxia Courtyard since she came back from the lotus banquet.
Therefore, whether it is Zhao Youjun's poisonous hand against Mu Qingwan, or Feng Zhige's return to Chengmingtang later. Feng Mingwu was unaware.
Feng Mingwu knew that Zhao Youjun was sick during this time, but she herself had always been careless, so she never went to Chengmingtang to visit.
This time, Zhao Youjun had to hand over the power of the mansion due to "illness", and Mu Qingwan, who was no different from a transparent person in the Hou Mansion twenty years ago, took over, although no one specifically told Feng Mingwu. But Feng Mingwu still knew it from the secret discussion of the maids and mothers in Luoxia Courtyard.
For Feng Mingwu, her mother is the most noble woman in the world, even if she is sick, she must not ask Feng Zhige's mother to snatch the right to feed!
What's more, Feng Mingwu knows that over the years, because Zhao Youjun is in charge of the middle feed in the house, she doesn't know how much more food and clothing she has overceeded.
The delicacies of the mountains and seas she used, and the gorgeous clothes and ornaments she worn, were only twenty taels of silver per month. I'm afraid it's not even a fraction of enough.
If it was Mu Qingwan's house, it would be nice not to be harsh on her, how could she make up for these extra things?
Thinking of this, where could Feng Mingwu sit still, breakfast was useless, so regardless of the dissuasion of the nurturing grandmothers around him, he led this large group of maids and women to Luo Shuixuan with a menacing attitude.
Mu Qingwan listened to Feng Mingwu's swear words, and couldn't help frowning again.
It's not that she's afraid of Feng Mingwu, but Feng Mingwu's current appearance is really unpresentable.
Didn't it mean that Feng Mingwu had a nurturing grandmother from the palace by her side, and she taught her carefully for six years. Why is it still the same as it was at the beginning?
Could it be that it is really difficult to change the nature?
Comparing Feng Zhige, who has been worrying about everything since he woke up, Mu Qingwan felt a little dislike for Feng Mingwu in his heart.
The second girl said cautiously, these words should not be said by everyone's ladies. If it is spread out, outsiders will also say that there are no rules in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion! Mu Qingwan frowned and reprimanded.
Hearing Mu Qingwan mention the rules, the fire in Feng Mingwu's heart burned a little more vigorously for no reason.
Since she woke up from Feng Zhige, because of the word "rules", she has suffered a lot.
With her eyebrows raised, Feng Mingwu not only didn't think that Mu Qingwan's admonition was for her good. On the contrary, she felt that Mu Qingwan was threatening her, "Whoever wants you to fake care, even if it really spreads outside, it must be a good thing for your mother and daughter!" Don't think I don't know, you mother and daughter don't have any good intentions. β
That's a real back-and-forth.
In the past, when Feng Mingwu was young, Feng Zhige didn't punish her much, but she kept jumping in front of Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige.
Although, Feng Mingwu failed to please every time.
Mu Qingwan's face was slightly gloomy, but seeing that Feng Mingwu was young and ignorant, she didn't plan to do more with her, but said slowly: "Why did the second girl say this, no matter what, you and Zhige are sisters of the same spirit, and ruining your reputation is not good for Zhige, how can we do such a thing?" β
"Shh
For Mu Qingwan's words, Feng Mingwu didn't believe it at all.
However, thinking of the purpose of her coming here today, Feng Mingwu didn't dwell on this issue too much, her face showed impatience, and she glared at Mu Qingwan again: "Come on, what do you think, can this girl still not know?" I won't say more to you, just say it, do you want to send the pair back to Chengmingtang? β
As soon as they heard this, the eyes of all the stewards looked at Mu Qingwan in unison.
Seeing Feng Mingwu's behavior, Mu Qingwan knew that she would not take her words to heart, but she didn't care, she and Zhao Youjun had been on the same page as early as twenty years ago, could she still expect Zhao Youjun's daughter to be close to her?
Listening to Feng Mingwu not caring about his face at all, and asking so rudely in front of so many people, Mu Qingwan's heart was a little less tolerant because of Feng Mingwu's young age.
Glancing at Feng Mingwu lightly, Mu Qingwan said: "The second girl shouldn't come to me to ask, the right card was sent to Luo Shuixuan by Hou Ye asked Steward Xiao to come, and the right to feed me was also handed over to me by Hou Ye, if the second girl is not satisfied with this, it is better to go to the outer study to find Hou Ye and say it bluntly." β
Although the voice was still gentle, it was not weak at all, but as firm as a sound.
Mu Qingwan was not a weak person, otherwise she would not have preferred to die than accept the threats of the Queen Mother and Zhao Youjun.
Since she decided to take over the Hou Mansion Zhongyu, she had long thought that she would encounter these difficulties.
If Feng Mingwu thought that she would be forced to retreat by making a fuss in Luoshui Xuan, then she would be too underestimated.
Perhaps, Feng Mingwu has never understood Mu Qingwan's personality.
Mu Qingwan's words were neither soft nor hard, and Feng Mingwu was choked.
Of course, Feng Mingwu knew that it was Feng Lin who personally sent a message to let Mu Qingwan take over the middle feed in the house, if she dared to go to the outer study to find Feng Lin, or if she went to find Feng Lin, she would have been able to achieve her goal, she would have gone a long time ago, how could she come to Luo Shuixuan.
At this moment, Feng Zhige, who had been sitting quietly on the side, gently hooked her lips and smiled, and was just seen by the angry Feng Mingwu, who immediately thought that Feng Zhige was laughing at her.
This seemed to find an outlet for Feng Mingwu to vent the anger in her heart, she kicked an empty chair next to her to the ground with a hateful kick, and then raised her hand and waved forward, commanding the maid who followed behind her and said, "You guys, smash this girl hard!" This girl wants this Luo Shui Xuan, and she can't find anything intact! (To be continued.) )
