Chapter 118: Can't sit still
The more Qingfang returned to her room, the more angry she became, she didn't do anything wrong, why should she target her. It's really not a glorious thing to bear the infamy of a thief in vain. Is she really going to be kicked out because of this? When she went back, where did she have any face to face those little friends who hadn't entered the house yet.
Hongluo walked in and saw Qingfang sitting on the edge of the bed sulking, and the two had accumulated a lot of grievances in the past. Hongluo had no choice but to step forward and sneer: "Miss Jiang hasn't moved yet, don't occupy the ground." Hurry up and pack up and get out, but the young lady has spoken, and you must leave today. ”
Qingfang didn't pack up her things, and went out in a huff. She walked quickly, and wanted to go to her mother, so that she could intercede in front of her wife. She didn't want to be kicked out so shamelessly.
Sister-in-law Jiang lost money because of last night's vigil gambling and sat under the back porch sulking. Seeing her daughter coming angrily, she lowered her face and scolded, "What are you doing?" ”
Qingfang's eyes were red, and she pulled her mother and said, "Mother, you want to be angry for your daughter." ”
"What trouble have you caused?"
Qingfang's tears fell down and told Sister-in-law Jiang about the matter. The more sister-in-law Jiang listened, the more angry she became, and in the end she was already indignant.
"It's too bullying. Let's go to my wife and plead with me. It's okay if you don't work in the third lady's room, so it's more decent to take the opportunity to transfer you to the wife's room. The former wife also said that there is a shortage of people around Miss Five, and it is better for you to serve Miss Five than on Miss Three. ”
Qingfang was dragged by her mother to Ma's upper room.
Qingfang was still a little timid, she said to her mother: "Mother, maybe the young lady in front of her is already suspicious, because she didn't get the handle, so she just found a reason to kick me out." ”
Sister-in-law Jiang said: "Then you should find your wife to call the shots, don't be afraid, when the sky falls, there will be a mother for you." ”
The mother and daughter came to the eaves, Qiaoyu sat on the threshold and took the soles of her shoes, and suddenly saw the mother and daughter coming, she got up and stopped: "Mrs. is not seeing anyone here." I'll come back later. ”
Sister-in-law Jiang was anxious and hurriedly said, "Qiaoyu, you just said that Qingfang has something important to see his wife." ”
Qiaoyu glanced at Qingfang, and said in her heart, isn't Qingfang on an errand in the third lady's room, and if there is really something important, Zisu and Ruyi came to report it. Qingfang, she is just a second-class maid.
"Madame has opened her mouth, and anyone has to wait first!" Qiaoyu threw down this sentence and went in.
When Ma saw Qiaoyu open the curtain and came in, he asked, "Who is talking outside?" ”
Qiao Yuyu said: "Qingfang said that she wanted to see his wife. Say it's something important. ”
Ma Shi thought for a while and said, "You let her wait first, I'm not empty at this time." ”
Ma sat on the kang, and there was a Taoist aunt sitting on the embroidery pier below. This Dao Gu is from Sanqing Cave, and often walks back and forth to these rich and noble people's homes, selling some charms with these wives and grandmothers. Earn some sesame oil money or something.
Feng Daogu whispered to Ma's family: "Madam, I still have a lot of spirit runes here, do you want two?" ”
Ma asked, "Is there a spell that can cure people of madness and stupidity?" ”
Feng Daogu has been to the homes of various powerful people for a long time, and she has seen a lot of pickled things in the back house, so she took the opportunity to say to Ma's: "Crazy and stupid are nothing, and there are also those who want to die." It's just that this one is a bit troublesome, and the price is ......."
Ma also believes in retribution, she is not afraid of it, but she is afraid of retribution to her daughter, and said: "Human life is a matter of heaven." I don't do anything that hurts the sky. I also want to give my sister Sheng a blessing. ”
Feng Daogu said with a smile: "Mrs. is timid and afraid, forget it, if you want something, I can help you get it when you go back." It's just...... Three spirit runes, one is one hundred taels. ”
Ma Shi heard that the asking price was so high, and she was a money-cherishing person, how could she be willing to hurry up and say: "You are also ruthless, where can I get you this money?" ”
Feng Daogu said with a smile: "The Rong family has been in business for several generations, and the family has a big business, and there are not a few families in the entire Bianliang. I heard that my wife's family is also a businessman, you are in charge of such a big family, will you have no money? Who will believe it? ”
Ma said: "Where do I dare to take the money from the public." If the lord knows that I am asking for my own hardship. ”
Feng Daogu thought that Ma could make a lot of money here, but he didn't expect it to be an empty shell, and he didn't have the enthusiasm just now, and said, "How much money can the wife take?" ”
Ma wanted to make it happen. It is not possible to have some blood, so after thinking about it, he said: "I will give thirty taels of three charms." ”
"Madam, you hate this bargaining too much."
Ma said: "I don't have any extra money. ”
Feng Daogu first despised the Ma family in her heart, you don't have the money to learn what others ask God to do. She saw that there was a jade phoenix hairpin on Ma's head, so she pointed to it and said, "If my wife is willing to give me this hairpin, this transaction can be done." ”
Ma touched the hairpin on her head, and the phoenix hairpin in her jewelry was a very valuable one. Xindao shouldn't be wearing it today. The phoenix hairpin is not rare, what is rare is the value of the craftsmanship of tired silk and point cui, so the hairpin is her dowry. It is said that when you take it to a pawnshop, you can use it as more than 100 taels of silver. She was not stupid, so she said, "I can't give you this hairpin." She turned around and opened a drawer on the kang head, and after a long time, she picked a hairpin filled with black silver and hibiscus stone.
"Take care of you, no matter how good it is, I don't have it, I still have to wear this on my head."
Feng Daogu picked up the hairpin and took a closer look, the black silver can be worth a few dollars, but looking at the hibiscus stone the size of a fingernail on the top, the heart should be worth some silver, it is better than nothing, so he immediately put it in his arms.
Ma said: "You can help me ask for another talisman." ”
Feng Daogu hurriedly asked, "Mrs. is asking for an heir?" ”
Ma Shi was surprised: "I didn't even speak, but my aunt can pinch and calculate." ”
Feng Daogu smiled: "That's it, I have opened the eyes of the sky, what can escape my eyes." Okay, I'll take it as a favor, and go back and ask your wife for a talisman to give birth to a son. ”
Ma asked the maid to weigh the silver, and the two made a note again, and Feng Daogu said goodbye.
I went to a hairpin in vain, and Ma's flesh hurt. But if it can really be done, this little bit of blood is nothing. Thinking of this, she touched the tired silk hairpin that was firmly inserted on her head. After taking a sip of tea slowly and resting for a while, he remembered Qingfang's mother and daughter waiting outside, and said in a loud voice: "Let Qingfang and them come in." ”
Sister-in-law Jiang pulled her daughter and walked in quickly, and as soon as she entered the house, Sister-in-law Jiang pulled Qingfang and knelt down for Ma's family, and ordered her daughter to kowtow.
Ma said casually: "What's the matter?" Such a large number of gifts? ”
Sister-in-law Jiang pleaded: "Madam, you can make the decision for Qingfang." She has been doing things for her wife before, but now that something has happened, you can't ignore it. ”
Ma Shi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qingfang didn't say anything, and tears flowed first. Said miserably: "Madam, Ruyi must have been a slave who took Miss's pearl earrings." In front of the young lady, the young lady wants to drive the slave and maid out. But the slave never took the lady's things. They wronged their slaves and maidservants. Madam, you are the master of the slaves. ”
"Oh, Third Miss, she's going to drive you away indiscriminately?"
"Yes!"
"Hmph. Everyone praised her for being generous and easy-going, so it seemed no different from before. Okay, I got it. Ma didn't take a little girl in his eyes.
That's it, Qingfang glanced at her mother uneasily, how can this be, Mrs. She hasn't said that she wants to investigate for herself to the end, wash away the grievances on her body, and she hasn't said how to settle her.
Sister-in-law Jiang has been doing some pulp washing work on Ma's side all these years, and she has no credit and hard work. Now that the old face is gone, as long as her daughter's life is happy, she begged: "Mrs., Qingfang was always doing things for you before." If it weren't for Qingfang, you wouldn't have been able to do those few things. Now that Qingfang has been expelled, the wife should also maintain Qingfang outside. ”
Ma said in his heart, this mother and daughter will really give themselves a long face, and she can still do things without this mother and daughter!
"Okay, I'll call the third lady in a moment and ask. Let's figure out what's going on. I didn't go down beforehand, it made me dizzy. Ma rubbed his temples.
Qingfang thought about it and said more: "Madam." Maybe the slave and maid were known by the young lady, so the young lady wanted to drive the slave away. ”
Ma Shi was stunned, and said: "That's because you are careless in doing things yourself, and you can't complain about others!" ”
Jiang's mother and daughter were sent out by Ma in a few words. Ma was about to ask the maid to call Rong Zheng. But I saw Mama Zhou coming over.
Seeing Mama Zhou's sad and misty face, Ma Shi was a little puzzled: "Is something wrong?" ”
Mama Zhou was silent for a while before she said, "Madam, something is wrong." ”
How can you not be suspicious of something wrong, and hurriedly ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Zhou said a little anxiously: "That little brother-in-law of my family has not been seen for several days. ”
Ma didn't dare to think deeply, and hurriedly asked: "Why is a big living person missing?" ”
Mama Zhou said: "The guy in the shop said that he went to the Zhuangzi below, but he hasn't come back these days." My man is not at ease. asked people to go to Zhuangzi to ask, but said that the uncle did not go to Zhuangshang at all. Where will he go? ”
Ma frowned and said, "Didn't your little brother-in-law come here to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble." Didn't look for him anywhere else? ”
"I didn't suspect it two days ago, but I haven't heard from him for so long, and everyone in my family is looking for him, but where is he there. Madam, the old slave is scared, do you think something will happen? ”
"What could happen. Maybe something stumbles, and he'll be back in two days, so don't think about it. Ma comforted Mama Zhou casually.
How could Mama Zhou not worry in her heart, Feng Yi suddenly disappeared, and the house couldn't be quiet for a moment. Those creditors before Feng Yi actually came to the door to ask for debts, and the family is about to fall out these days. The old woman also fell ill because of this.
"Madam, do you think the third lady will know about this?"
Ma Shi was extremely shocked and said in horror: "How is it possible, not to mention that this matter is very hidden. Who knows this family but you and me. Even if it was reported to the official, didn't the government also say that the three people were dead and had become a headless case, and they didn't want to continue the investigation. ”
Mama Zhou was not suspicious, and said: "It's not just my little brother-in-law, but even the Yang Xiu who I was looking for is gone." ”
Ma Shi couldn't sit still when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Sister Zheng, she is an unmarried young lady, and she usually doesn't even go out of the door, how can she know these things." Besides, she just has the heart to do it, and she doesn't have anyone in her hands. ”
Mama Zhou reminded: "Madam, you underestimate the third lady too much. At the beginning, she recruited the Xiao family brothers into the door, and the two Zhuangzi were under her control. The people left behind in the village are all from the Qi family, and they must all listen to Miss. Now that Miss has married Ziying next to her to another family, that Miss Bei Yonggui also helps Miss San take care of the shop, and when I think about it, there is no shortage of manpower around Miss San. ”
"Then you said that your brother-in-law's disappearance is really related to Sister Zheng?"
Mama Zhou was not sure and had to say: "At present, I can only think about this." ”
Ma Shi said impatiently: "You can't be caught by her so easily." If she really let her hold it, then she is too calm, shouldn't she immediately confront me? ”
This also made Mama Zhou feel strange, but when she remembered something, she couldn't sink anymore.
"Madam, the third lady sent the Xiao family brothers to deliver fruits to the master, do you think there will be anything greasy in this?"
"Are you worried...... Ma Shi himself stopped the latter words, and her heart was scared for a while, she thought of the handle that was held by Rong Zheng before, and Rong Zheng in front of her heart tolerated her repeatedly, and she didn't make any trouble, but she was a coward. It's better to call her here and scare her again.
"Qiaoyu, you go and invite the third lady."
Qiaoyu agreed under the porch and went immediately.
Mama Zhou also comforted Ma here: "Madam, since we have done everything, there is no reason to turn back." You can't mess up first, you calm down first. The third lady is clever, but don't let her see any clues first, just don't admit herself. ”
Ma Shiqiang calmed down and said, "I know." ”
said in his heart, if Rong Zheng really has the ability to stab this thing in front of Rong Jiang, then I am afraid that Rong Jiang will not spare her this time. Maybe she will be kicked out of the Rong family. What kind of face does she have to preside over the middle feed of their second room. said that she didn't regret it, but she was a little scared now, she wanted to keep Rong Sheng's future future, but it was too much, I was afraid that the master would even dislike her sister Sheng, so who should she rely on in the future!
Ma Shi sat on the kang and felt weak, his hands trembled slightly, and he prayed, no, he wouldn't let Rong Zheng know so coincidentally. She had been planning for months so that Rong Zheng would not notice it. Although there are two people around Rong Zheng, they are not available talents, and it is not so easy to find out. She is now Rong Zheng's stepmother, and she should be able to live in Rong Zheng.
Ma Shi heard Rong Zheng greeting her maid in the courtyard, talking enthusiastically, so he glanced through the gap and saw that she was radiant, not at all like a big event, maybe she and Mama Zhou were thinking too much. (To be continued.) )
PS: The previous chapter about the incident in the previous life was a bit rough, even perfunctory, so that the heroine's IQ was not very online, and I will change it well when I go back.
