Chapter 185: Back to Beijing
Knowing that if you curry favor with her, she will pay less price.
Qiuhe is the old lady's person, she broke the medicine, even if the rod killed her, it was still the old lady who compensated reads();.
As long as she moves her mouth, she can make her happy without a penny, and then continue to help her buy medicine.
The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Mu, she knew Mrs. Mu's intentions, and sneered, "Then you say, who should pay for the broken medicine, old lady?" ”
Mrs. Mu had a headache and didn't know what to say.
If she wants to say that she will let the old lady pay, she will definitely anger the old lady, if she doesn't let Qingyun help buy medicine, Qingyun can still disobey her?
Mrs. Mu tried to keep her composure, she sat down and said, "Whoever breaks the medicine should pay for it, but the one who broke the medicine is just a maid, even if she sells her, can you compensate me for my loss, in order to treat Qianran's face, not only did I empty all the silver at the bottom of the box, but also sold two shops, and asked me to pay for another amount, it was my life, I paid the money, but I couldn't get the medicine, who did I tell my grievances." ”
Although she didn't explicitly accuse the old lady, everyone could hear the meaning of her words.
Qiu He is the old lady's maid, she makes a mistake, and the old lady bears it.
The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Mu and said, "Didn't you pay back the money you paid as it was, the last bottle of medicine was broken by Qingrou and Qianran when they were fighting, and the two of them each lost five thousand taels." ”
The eldest lady said it very generously.
Because she doesn't need to buy medicine anymore at all.
Although the three bottles of medicine were broken, they were not completely sprinkled and could not be used, and the maid picked them up, and most of the bottles could be used.
And with the addition of the broken one, it's enough for a bottle.
You don't need to buy medicine, and you can get 5,000 taels for nothing. What a good thing.
What's more, Mrs. Mu has to spend a lot of money.
This is the arena of competition with her!
The eldest lady thought very well, but Mrs. Mu was not a fool, she sneered, "It's still a dignified marquis's mansion, bullying a junior like this, and even having no justice is wrong." There's no shame in saying it. I paid for the medicine early, I just need the medicine. I don't need money, if I don't have medicine, I'll let it go, it's a big deal to see you in court! ”
After speaking. Mrs. Mu glanced at Mu Qianran and said, "Let's go." ”
watched the two leave angrily and ferociously. The old lady's face was as cold as frost.
Mother Sun stood aside and persuaded, "Old lady, don't be angry. ”
The old lady's chest rose and fell. "How can I not be angry, Qiu He has always been steady, but today he made such a big mistake. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount! ”
If only she had money. If you lose, you will lose.
But the problem is, she doesn't.
She has accumulated so many years of dowry, and in order for the Hou Mansion to restore the title, she intermittently doesn't know how much she has sent.
Her dowry, except for a few shops and farm properties, is only 8,000 taels.
Is she going to sell her property and shop?
She's a grandmother, and the juniors are pleasing in front of her, asking for a few pieces of jewelry, and if there are a few more ladies, she likes it, and there must be something that can be taken reads();.
She can't make outsiders laugh at her, the old lady of the stable Hou Mansion is like an iron rooster, and she doesn't pull out a hair, right?!
The old lady didn't think about taking it from the princess, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Because she knew that the eldest lady would not agree.
Moreover, she set this precedent, and she couldn't stop it from then on.
The more she thought about it, the more angry the old lady became, and finally said angrily, "Unangry maid, hit me, beat me hard!" ”
Hearing that the old lady was going to continue to fight Qiuhe, Qingyun didn't know what to do.
Just at this moment, the magpie walked in, leaned over to Qingyun, and whispered, "Girl, Sister Qiuhe said that she tr......ipped over a rope when she fell. ”
Hearing this, Qingyun raised her eyes and said, "Don't blame Qiuhe with a cane first." ”
The old lady looked at Qingyun and said with some displeasure, "You want to intercede for her again?" ”
Qingyun took a few steps forward and said, "Grandmother, I'm not interceding for Qiu He, I just want to find out why Qiu He fell, she's just a maid, breaking the ointment is such a big thing, it will cost her life, and it won't help, but things must be clarified." ”
Mu Qingrou skimmed Qingyun and said, "How else can I fall, it's not because the rain road is slippery and I accidentally fell." ”
"Did Qiuhe say that?" Qingyun asked.
Mu Qingrou didn't speak, and Mother Sun said, "Qiuhe said that something tripped her foot before she fell, but the maid went to see that there was nothing." ”
Qiu He fell such an expensive ointment, and he would definitely die.
She said that something stumbled on her feet, and listening to everyone's ears was completely shirking responsibility.
But Qingyun believed that Qiu He was not shirking responsibility, so she turned around and went out.
Qiu He was still lying on the stool, and when Qingyun approached, she looked up with difficulty.
Qingyun asked her, "Did you really fall because you tripped over the rope?" ”
Qiu He smiled bitterly, and said angrily, "Third girl, the slave is really, she really tripped over the rope, so she fell the ointment." ”
Qingyun looked at her and said, "You said that you would fall down if you tripped over a rope, but the maid went to check, and there was no rope at all. ”
Qiu He shook his head, "I didn't see others, but when I fell, I heard laughter, like, like ......." ”
The magpie hurriedly asked, "Like what?" ”
"It's like the third young master."
"Are you sure?" Qingyun asked.
Qiuhe nodded.
The maids and maids on the side all opened their eyes wide.
Mu Qingxue also walked out, and when she heard this, she immediately glared at Qingyun angrily, "Do you believe what the maid said, and think that Brother Yang caused her to fall?!" ”
Qingyun glanced at her lightly and said, "Is it that Brother Yang caused Qiuhe to fall, won't it be clear if you ask her?" ”
Mu Qingxue stomped her feet, turned around and went back to the house reads();.
Qingyun also went in, she didn't walk slowly, and when she entered, she happened to hear the old lady say to the maid, "Go and call the three young masters." ”
The eldest lady sat there, and her eyes were as cold as ice blades.
Soon, the three young masters were all called.
The three young masters are all very young.
Suddenly, he was called, and saw the maid in the yard beaten and covered in blood. Some scared.
The old lady said to her three grandsons, who had always been precious, and without waiting for them to say goodbye, she stretched out her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, come to grandmother, grandmother has something to ask you." ”
The three young masters ran to stand beside the old lady.
The old lady touched the faces of several young masters. Ask them directly if they have used a rope to trip the maid's feet.
The three young masters all shook their heads. Say no.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "My brother Yang is the most sincere, he won't lie." ”
The old lady looked at Qingyun.
Qingyun walked over. "Grandmother, can I ask them a few questions?"
The old lady's brows moved slightly, she had asked, and the three young masters all said no. What else to ask?
Could she have asked something else?
"You ask," said the old lady.
Qingyun looked at Mu Qingyang and them. He asked, "Have you ever used a rope to stumble over a maid?" ”
The three young masters said in unison, "No." ”
"So where are you all playing today?" Qingyun continued to ask.
"In the inner courtyard," the trio continued.
"What are you all playing?"
"Playing with balls."
"What else?"
"Play hide and seek."
"Is it fun?"
"It's fun."
"And what color is the rope you use to trip people?"
"Red."
Hearing that the three of them didn't even think about it. Just answer red.
Qingyun raised her eyebrows.
The old lady's face was long, she glanced at the eldest lady fiercely, slapped the table and said. "Who taught them to lie?!"
The eldest lady's scalp tightened.
The three young masters realized it later, and only then did they react to reads();. They said the rope.
Before they came, a maid told them not to admit that they had tripped over the maid, otherwise they would be punished and beaten on the board.
Now they accidentally slipped their mouths, and the thought of being beaten made all three of them fall to their knees in fright.
The old lady asked again, and one by one she confessed faster than anyone else.
Qiu He was indeed tripped by the three of them with a rope.
When the old lady saw her beloved grandson, she actually stumbled over the maid and watched the maid fall for pleasure, so angry that she slapped the table.
The old lady was angry, and the maids who served a few young masters were miserable, beating and selling.
But in this way, it couldn't calm the anger in the old lady's heart.
These three young masters are the hope of the Hou Mansion, they are so sequivocal at a young age, and when they grow up, they will pay it back, and the Hou Mansion is in their hands, so they don't know how to be buried?
Thinking of that day, the old lady was furious.
For a few young masters, although she loved her, she would not condone it, she said with a cold face, "Take it to the ancestral hall, let them reflect in front of their ancestors, kneel for three hours and then bring in questioning, if anyone dares to secretly send them food, I will peel her a few layers of skin!" ”
Hearing that he was going to be punished for kneeling, Brother Yang cried, "Mother, I don't want to punish kneeling!" ”
The eldest lady felt sorry for her son, but the old lady was angry, and she pleaded, which added fuel to the fire.
The eldest lady endured the distress and turned her head away.
Mu Qingzhi felt sorry for her younger brother, and when she saw Qingyun's eyes, she was as cold as she wanted.
Qingying stood aside, holding 30,000 taels of silver tickets in her hand.
Qingyun took the silver ticket, handed it to the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, today's matter, Qingyun should be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise, I can compensate for the money, but when it comes to buying medicine, Qingyun won't, and I don't dare to help anymore." ”
Looking at the silver ticket that was placed on the small table, the old lady looked at Qingyun and said, "Grandmother hasn't been able to divide the right and wrong to that way." ”
After she finished speaking, a small servant outside came to report, "Old lady, Master Hou has returned to Beijing!" ”
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, "I'm back today, doesn't it mean that I'm back?" ”
The little servant hurriedly said, "Master Hou hasn't returned to the house yet, but the burden has been sent back, he went to the palace to resume his life, and he will come back soon." ”
Mother Sun was happy to hear this, and said, "Old lady, Hou Ye is back, do you want to tell the kitchen to cook a few more side dishes for Hou Ye and help Hou Ye pick up the wind and wash the dust?" ”
The old lady nodded and said, "Master Hou loves sweet and sour carp, there must be one, as well as fish-flavored tofu, deciduous pipa shrimp ......." ”
The old lady counted many dishes that the Hou Ye liked to eat in one breath.
The eldest lady stood aside and did not say a word.
Her right eyelid was throbbing.
It feels like something bad is going to happen.
