Chapter 35: Polishing Shen Rong (2)
Seeing Mrs. Feng's red peony crying in a few words, Shen Rong was angry, and Mother Zhao finally spoke. She didn't wait for Shen Rong to speak, so she stepped forward with a straight face and scolded Mrs. Feng: "I said victorious, are you confused and home?" What kind of nonsense can you say in front of the eldest lady? Now it's about things in your kitchen, what do you mean by pulling the eldest young master? Even if you don't get the accounts wrong, what if the eldest lady just came to ask you a few words? What's more, now your accounts are obviously wrong, what are you talking about? Is it that you are getting old at errands, but you don't understand the rules at all? "Mother Zhao used to have a lot of power in the mansion, so as soon as she opened her mouth like this, Mrs. Feng's momentum weakened by three points. She immediately said with a smile: "Mother Zhao taught me a lesson." It's me who gets a little dizzy. It's just that there's been a lot going on in the kitchen lately, and I really didn't mean to. It's just that I'm not convinced that this little hoof is clever in front of the eldest lady, so he doesn't have a brain to speak. The eldest lady is waiting for some, these mistakes and omissions, I will definitely make up for them when I go back. Shen Rong saw that she was very disrespectful of her, and just wanted to scold her, but suddenly saw Zhao's mother winking at her, shook her head slightly, and said coldly: "Since my mother knows that she is wrong, make up for the wrong things in time, otherwise I won't talk about it here, but I won't have a face at my wife!" As she spoke, she walked out, and when she looked back and saw the red peony still crying, she said to her, "Don't cry either." I know your benefits. When I get back, I will take care of my mother, and you will be responsible for the kitchen procurement in the future. Red Peony couldn't believe her ears when she heard this, and then she turned her anger into joy. And Mrs. Feng was stunned there, but she didn't expect Shen Rong to dismiss her right to buy in two clever words. was about to argue a few words, but saw a trace of fierceness flashing on Zhao's mother's face, and she didn't dare to make a mistake.
After returning to the council room, Hu Shi looked at Shen Rong and asked, "It's all dealt with?" Shen Rong nodded, and explained what Hong Shao said and Mrs. Feng's words and deeds one by one. Hu Shi nodded and said, "It's good that you have the right to buy Mrs. Feng." However, Red Peony is young in the end, and she is afraid that she will not be able to convince them. Maybe right now, Mrs. Feng is already looking for someone to vent her anger. She didn't finish her words, and sure enough, someone came over to tell her, saying that the fourth sister-in-law Sun who was in charge of serving food in the kitchen was beheaded, and she had hidden a lot of things in the past few days. At one moment, a bunch of people came over with a slender and long-faced daughter-in-law. Mrs. Feng nodded, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground. "Madam, the eldest lady found out that there was something wrong in the kitchen, and it was all the slaves and maids who were confused for a while, and talked about the eldest and young grandmothers, but they didn't want to be exploited by this lard-blinded thing. Now everything has been found in her house. This is all a slave who doesn't know people, I thought she was a good person, but it turned out to be such a thing! Mrs. Feng said and cried, looking very wronged. It is obviously two people who were arrogant and domineering with Shen Rong before. Hu Shi looked at her, and then looked at the fourth sister-in-law Sun who was pushed over by a large group of mothers-in-law. Fourth sister-in-law Sun knelt on the ground, only knowing a strong kowtow, and whispered softly: "Mrs. spare her life!" "Apparently she's a coward. It's just that since you are timid and afraid, how can you take so many things back in private? So she glanced at Duanqin, and Duanqin stepped forward and scolded Mrs. Feng: "What is going on, Mrs. will naturally ask to understand." You don't need to do this job! You go down first, my wife has something to ask her! Mrs. Feng reluctantly retreated, and before leaving, she glanced at the fourth sister-in-law of Sun again, and the warning was quite strong. Shen Rong was furious when she saw it, and just wanted to say something, but heard Hu Shi say: "You can go down with confidence." Whether it's black and white, I still have some eyesight. Mrs. Feng obediently hung her head and left.
Only then did Hu Shi say softly to the fourth sister-in-law Sun: "Say, what's going on?" Fourth sister-in-law Sun trembled and kowtowed: "Back to Mrs. Niang's words." In total, the slave maid brought a bowl of chicken ravioli back to my little grandson to eat. It was given to me quietly by the Red Peony Girl. She said that the young grandmother couldn't eat it, so she asked me to bring a bowl back. I didn't mean to be it, but my little grandson has been heating up these days, and there is no taste in his mouth. That's why I did this shameless thing. Hu Shi nodded, and then asked, "What happened to the rice and meat found in your house?" Fourth sister-in-law Sun hurriedly kowtowed again, and said, "That's the work that my family has been doing outside for the past few days, and I just bought it with my salary." But it was just enough to buy ten catties of new rice and two or three catties of fatty meat. There is a mark on my rice bag. I was afraid that his drunkard brother who killed a thousand knives would come and take it, so I specially embroidered a mark on the rice bag. I just don't know how those mothers took out so many things at my house at once. I didn't have anything in my house. Hu Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I know." Go down too! Fourth sister-in-law Sun nodded to get up, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Madam, please raise your noble hand and spare the red peony girl!" She was also kind-hearted, what was wrong, the slave and maid received it all! Hu Shi glanced at her and said, "There are family rules, who should do what and who should not do, I know it all in my heart!" The fourth sister-in-law of Sun trembled and went down.
The next person to be found was Hong Shao, and she admitted very frankly to the Hu family: "Madam, it is not right to secretly serve wontons to the fourth sister-in-law Sun." But the fourth sister-in-law really never took anything from the kitchen. Please also be aware of it! Hu Shi nodded, and then said: "Since you know that she didn't take it, you must know who took it?" Now that you have been wicked, I advise you to continue to do it to the end! Hong Shao hesitated for a moment, and then said resolutely: "I really don't hide it from Mrs. Buying things in the kitchen has always been about underreporting more. First, I am afraid that if the things I buy back are not done well, there is room to fill them. First, it is also more prepared to prevent temporary meaning. It's just that this time, because the young grandmother was happy, some people had the idea of fishing in troubled waters, and reported so many things, but they were privately divided by a few heads and faces in the kitchen. I originally had a share, but I was young, so I didn't dare to take it, and they also bullied me and took away my share. When the eldest lady came to check, I originally thought that everyone would fill it in quietly in private. Who knew that the eldest lady asked me to be in charge of purchasing, and those mothers couldn't get angry, so they took me and my fourth sister-in-law out of the top tank. Hu Shi frowned when he heard this, and Shen Rong was even more angry when he heard it. Angry and ashamed. She didn't expect the mother-in-law in the kitchen to be so hateful, and she didn't expect that one of her own measures would be self-defeating and almost hurt the innocent.
Hu ordered someone to take the rice bags from Sun Si's sister-in-law's house, and counted the extra things, so a public case has since been closed. The mother-in-law who led the kitchen and the mother-in-law led by Mrs. Feng were all punished. Hong Shao and Sun Si's sister-in-law were also entrusted with important responsibilities after being punished. Hu's series of disposal methods made Shen Rong impressed. These things have never been touched by her and Aunt Liu. And through this incident, she understood the essential difference between Hu's as the housewife and Aunt Liu.
After that, Shen Rong got up every day, and there were too many things that the Hu family arranged for her. In addition to the previous kitchen and sewing room, there were also personnel transfers in various courtyards, and even open and secret battles between stewards, all of which were thrown to her by the Hu family. Zhao's mother saw that the Hu family had the intention to train Shen Rong well, so she took out all her skills to teach Shen Rong how to sort out the connections of the people in the family, and gradually grasp the dynamics of people, understand the causes and trends of some things, and begin to learn to control people's hearts and know how to implement the way of rewards and punishments. Shen Rong was exposed to many things that she had never heard of before, and she became more and more aware of the reason why Aunt Liu was so short-sighted and stupid, and that Hu's ability and shrewdness were by no means tempered overnight. Slowly, Shen Rong finally came out of her resistance to the Hu family, and began to gradually respect her and believe in her. And when the people in the family saw that the Hu family was always facing Shen Rong, they gradually retracted their thoughts of belittling her, and no longer dared to beg her in front of her.
