Chapter 7 Two Choices
After Qin You'an left, Qin Shu restrained her smile and looked at Mama Shi.
Mama Shi also helped Shen Jingfang again, and she was complacent, and she didn't come back to her senses until Mama Zhang gently tugged on her sleeve.
Seeing Qin Shu's meaningful eyes, Mama Shi suddenly chuckled in her heart, but she forced herself to calm down and told herself that she didn't find anything, besides, she didn't betray Mrs. Tai, she just said a few good things for Mrs. Shen, and she didn't need to be weak at all.
Therefore, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, it's late at night, you should rest." ”
"Not busy!" After Qin Shu finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the Luohan couch, sat down again, and looked at them quietly.
Mama Zhang can't speak, and she has always been like an invisible person.
But she and Mama Shi have always been inseparable from Meng Meng, and they must have similar ideas, she doesn't believe it, this is just what Mama Shi meant.
Mama Shi can speak well and be capable, compared with her, Mama Zhang is much inferior. But she is a figure who plots secretly, she hides in the shadows and is often ignored, but many of the decisions made by the two are actually made by her.
The two of them have experienced many ups and downs, and Shen Jingfang was able to pull them over, which shows that Shen Jingfang's methods should not be underestimated.
In the end, it is not a person of the same era, even if Qin Shu stays here for a long time, he can't fully understand their thoughts, and he still doesn't understand their thoughts better than Shen Jingfang.
Perhaps, Shen Jingfang can give them what they want most; Or perhaps, they are more optimistic about Shen Jingfang than themselves.
No matter what, these two people, she doesn't plan to use them anymore.
Seeing that Qin Shu only looked at them and didn't speak, with a bit of scrutiny and scrutiny in their expressions, Mama Shi and Mama Zhang both felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Remember how you promised me before?" Qin Shu asked.
When Mama Shi and Mama Zhang heard this, they nodded hesitantly, and Mama Shi said with gratitude: "Of course the old slave remembers. We offer our loyalty, and Mrs. Tai provides for us. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Tai who took us in at the beginning, we wouldn't know where we would have gone! We have been grateful for the reception of my wife for the rest of our lives. ”
Now in troubled times, etiquette and music are broken, and it is too late for everyone to flee for their lives, who wants to learn any etiquette rules? I just want to learn, and I will be able to teach for half a year, and no one wants to keep them all the time, so I can only change the master family frequently until they can no longer teach.
They are really tired of the days of no fixed place to live and are anxious, and what they want most is to settle down and enjoy their old age in peace. Just like now, there is no longer a trace of worries, as long as the Qin family does not fall, they can live the rest of their lives with peace of mind and comfort.
What's more, their master is a kind person, he doesn't dislike their disabilities, and he trusts them, where can I find such a master's family?
They're really satisfied.
But......
When Qin Shu heard this, she lowered her eyes and smiled: "It's not necessary to be grateful, speaking of which, we just take what we need." ”
Originally, she asked You'an to come to them, just to learn more about the etiquette of this era and deal with those exchanges and relationships, and she didn't plan to keep them by her side all the time.
But later, I saw that they had been doing their best for themselves, full of plans for her, and they were not bad, and they had never betrayed the Lord before, and they were very principled. In addition, they have seen a lot of things, and they can usually mention themselves, and when they revealed that they wanted to stay by her side all the time, Qin Shu pushed the boat along the way and left them. After some inspection, he was gradually entrusted with important tasks.
The only thing that is required is their loyalty.
But now, they can't even do that.
After staying by Shen Jingfang's side for a few months, he didn't know who he was.
When Mama Shi and Mama Zhang heard this, they finally sensed that something was wrong, their faces changed, and then they pounced and knelt in front of Qin Shu together.
Mama Shi even kowtowed to her, lay on the ground and said sincerely: "Mrs. Tai, please forgive the old slave for being stupid, I don't quite understand what Mrs. Tai means, if the old slave has anything wrong, please make it clear to Mrs. Tai." ”
Mama Zhang also kowtowed to her.
Seeing them like this, the smile on Qin Shu's lips turned a little colder, and said, "Hurry up, you don't have to make such a big gift!" Speaking of which, you are not slaves of our house, so you don't have to kneel around. ”
When it comes to Qin Youan's status, he doesn't need the government at all, what kind of slave registration he signs, in his sphere of influence, he says what you are, you are what you are. After all, he even rebelled against Dayan, how could he end the constraints of the official mansion?
Slavery, for them, is the equivalent of a piece of waste paper.
Therefore, according to Dayan's law, Mama Shi and Mama Zhang are still free. Qin Shu was not wrong.
But in fact, Shi and Zhang, the two grandmothers, usually regard themselves as slaves, and they can be regarded as the descendants of the Qin family. Otherwise, why did they stay in the Generalissimo's Palace?
When Mama Shi heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Qin Shu in panic, but she only saw Qin Shu's cold look.
Mrs. Tai didn't admit her identity as a subordinate of the Qin Mansion, and she was so polite to them, was this to drive them away?
Shi and Zhang were terrified.
"Madame, you ...... Do you think we're too old to be useful, so you want to regret it and don't want us? Mama Shi asked boldly, and her face, which was often smiling, was a little more sad and angry. It was also Qin Shu who had always been very good to them, so she had the courage to ask.
Mama Zhang also looked up at Qin Shu.
In fact, the two of them are only in their forties, and this year, they have lived comfortably, and they look a lot younger and fatter than before, how can they be considered old!
"I regret it? You dare to say it! Qin Shu sneered, "Am I still missing your mouthful of food?" ”
"Then why ......" Shi Ma
"Then why ......" Mama Shi also knew that Qin Shu was not a stingy person, and she was never stingy with her subordinates, and she would reward those who deserved, so she didn't understand it even more, or rather, she didn't want to understand.
"You should look for the reason in yourself." Qin Shu said, "Don't treat everyone else for fools. ”
Mama Shi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of obvious panic on her face, and her breathing was a little short. However, soon, her expression calmed down, and she bowed down again respectfully, and said, "Madame, the old slave really doesn't understand what you mean. You are dissatisfied with the old slave, and you should let us know why. ”
Seeing her like this, Qin Shu's expression suddenly turned cold.
She originally wanted to save some face for them, and they helped her a lot, but now, they are still playing dumb with themselves.
As soon as Mama Zhang saw Qin Shu's expression, she knew that it was bad. It's a pity that she can't say anything, so she can only kowtow to Qin Shu with a bang, and after a while, her forehead is bruised, and her face is pleading.
"Mama Shi, Mama Zhang, you have served me for so long, you shouldn't know my temperament. Now that I've opened my mouth, it's already certain. I have always had no room for sand in my eyes, but you have just violated my taboo. Do you think it's possible to keep you even though you know you can't do it? A cold light flashed in Qin Shu's eyes.
As soon as Mama Shi heard it, she knew that Mrs. Tai knew about her private actions, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
Therefore, she straightened up and defended herself: "Mrs. Tai, the old slave admits that there are some things that are wrong, but the old slave has not betrayed Mrs. Tai!" In the heart of the old slave, there is only one master, Mrs. Tai, please also ask Mrs. Tai to be clear! ”
As he spoke, he bent down again.
Qin Shu's eyes were flat, and the person who had given up in her heart couldn't make her heart fluctuate.
"You haven't betrayed me now, it's because you don't have that opportunity. But what you have done has been biased in favor of others. Qin Shu didn't believe them, and said indifferently, "You can't tell who is your master anymore. Around me, I will never raise those things that eat inside and outside. Since you think so much about the Shen family, then go and follow her! I can't afford you two Buddhas around me. ”
"Mrs. Tai-" It was only then that Mama Shi gave up, and the old man shouted with tears in her eyes, crying: "The old slave knows that he is wrong, it is all the old slave who is confused for a while, you can punish us as much as you want, let us be cattle and horses for the rest of our lives, just don't drive us away!" Otherwise, how can we still have a face to see people! ”
She understood very well that her current status was given to her by Qin Shu. Once she loses this identity, who will hold her?
Even Mrs. Shen probably wouldn't be so polite to her.
The reason why they are biased towards Shen Jingfang is that Shen Jingfang has good means, although she has been secretly wooing them, it is not annoying at all, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it can make them feel her respect and respect for themselves, whether they act or behave, it is very in line with their appetite, in their opinion, Shen Jingfang is the most qualified housewife, and after getting along for so long, there are always some feelings;
Second, Shen Jingfang gave birth to her eldest son, and she was quite respected by the generalissimo, Mrs. Tai does not often take care of the affairs of the back house, and Shen Jingfang must be in power in the future, and they are willing to sell it to her, of course, Shen Jingfang will also return the favor, and both parties have benefited.
Anyway, they didn't plan to betray Mrs. Tai, but they just said a few good things for Mrs. Shen and occasionally revealed a mouth, what is it?
Gradually, this kind of thing is getting more and more comfortable, and the relationship will inevitably have some deviations.
This is something that they themselves did not expect.
Qin Shucai didn't care whether they had the face to see people or not, she had already done her best to do so, and said with a cold expression: "You only have two choices, one is to take ten boards and go to the Shen family, and the other is to get out of the Marshal's Mansion and fend for yourself." Which do you choose? ”
Mama Shi and Mama Zhang saw that Qin Shu had made up her mind, and gradually stopped crying, but their expressions were a little discouraged.
But it's come to this point, it's useless to be sad and regretful, they still want to continue to live!
If they leave the house, they will definitely not work. Now that the natural disasters are so strict, they can't survive at all if they go out. Now, I can only stay with Mrs. Shen, even if I am embarrassed, I will admit it.
I hope she can see that they have done so much for her, and be able to treat them better.
"Have you decided?" Seeing that they were eating and not talking, Qin Shu quietly yawned and asked.
Mama Shi gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Tai, the old slave...... The old slave is willing to serve his wife. ”
Qin Shu smiled when she heard this, and seemed to be very satisfied with her decision, and said, "Okay! That being the case, I have perfected you. Qingmiao, take the two grandmothers down to receive the punishment, and then immediately send them to the Shen family, and they will be the Shen family's people in the future. ”
"Yes, Chief." Lu Qingmiao answered, walked up to the two kneeling on the ground, glanced at them coldly, clapped his hands, and immediately came in Four female guards in red clothes, and gave such an order.
The two female guards immediately stepped forward to pull Shi and Zhang.
Mama Shi begged in panic: "Mrs. Tai, please let us stay one more night, let's go over tomorrow morning, it's so late now, the marshal and Mrs. are afraid that they have already rested." The old slave still wants to pack up his things and say goodbye to everyone. ”
Qin Shu said nonchalantly: "This person hasn't been sent over yet, so I'm worried that it will disturb your wife, and he is really loyal." But don't worry, if she's dissatisfied, she's coming at me too. As for saying goodbye, there is no need to look down. I'll have someone send you your stuff. ”
After speaking, he suddenly ordered the female guard: "What are you rubbing, don't you hurry up and bring people down!" ”
"Yes!" The female guard answered and immediately pulled the two down.
