Chapter 041: Layoffs
Zhou Shu was worried about the side matter, had dinner in the Blue Courtyard, and went to visit Su Xiulian again in the Pavilion, and then went back to the Tea Garden.
Because Su Xiulian is pregnant, the wedding girls are full of hopes, thinking that Miss Six's good days are not far away. Seeing Zhou Shu leaving, he couldn't help but feel disappointed for Jian Ying.
Early the next morning, Jian Ying led Su Xiulian to Jingguo Courtyard to greet her as agreed in advance, only to feel that there was a look of pity in the midst of inquiry along the way.
She's used to it, and she doesn't take it seriously. Su Xiulian was full of uneasiness, and her eyes unconsciously brought a little shame to her.
After entering the main room, I glanced at it and saw that everyone who should have come came, and even Concubine Qi Shu, who had not come to greet her for many days, sat there with an interesting face, waiting to see who was laughing.
Jian Ying saluted one by one, and asked Su Xiulian to pay a big salute, and explained to the Fang family the origin of Su Xiulian, as well as the meaning of giving Su Xiulian a name and raising children.
"To be able to marry a kind-hearted daughter-in-law like you, the second young master is really blessed." Fang took Jian Ying's hand and praised sincerely.
If it were someone else, and the newlywed was only a month old, the husband would take back a pregnant outer chamber and slap himself in the face. Even she herself has no confidence to be as calm and tolerant as Jian Ying.
Of course, as a bystander, she was happy to see it happen and was gratified.
After Zhou Shu got married, the rumors about him did decrease, but they did not dissipate. What could prove better than that he had a child, that he didn't have that nasty problem?
She couldn't stop Zhou Yuan from getting close to Zhou Shu, so she could only hope that Zhou Shu would be normal.
If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to maintain the dignity of the main room and show that she was on Jian Ying's side, she might have patted Su Xiulian on the shoulder and said "Good job".
Concubine Qi listened to Fang's words, and felt very harsh. Suspicious Fang pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, he was secretly mocking himself for tyrannizing the King of Ji'an and not allowing the King of Ji'an to go to other people's rooms for the night, and immediately sneered, "Everyone has been brought back, what can you do if you are not kind-hearted?"
Is it possible to make a big fuss, beat people out, and then the husband and wife fall out of harmony, and make people point to their backbones and say that they can't tolerate people?
This is knocking out the teeth and swallowing it in the stomach, who is uncomfortable and who knows, what to do with that high note? ”
Jian Ying knew that Concubine Qi was not coming at her, so she kept silent.
The Fang clan didn't want to quarrel with Concubine Qi in front of so many people, especially Su Xiulian, who had just arrived, and lost the demeanor of being the housewife, so he didn't keep silent.
Concubine Qi only thought that the Fang clan had been taught a lesson by King Ji'an, and she was afraid of herself, so she became more and more unscrupulous, "It's good for women to be virtuous, but they can't be virtuous." Otherwise, you will be like someone, forcing yourself out of trouble, and your heart will become black inch by inch.
In the past, I was condescending and screaming 'sister' one by one, but now, isn't it showing the fox's tail? ”
Fang could naturally hear that this "someone" was referring to himself. I also understood that if she didn't talk back, the woman didn't know how ugly she would say.
was thinking about how to open her mouth, so that Concubine Qi Shu could not only shut up, but also show the demeanor of the main mother, so she listened to Jian Ying's words, "The first time I got married, I really couldn't control the degree of virtuousness, I just acted with my conscience."
Concubine Qi Shu seems to have a lot of experience in this regard, let's take the time to teach me another day, I still want to raise the case with the second young master for decades. ”
When she said this, she smiled brightly, and her face was sincere, Concubine Qi Shu was not good to be aggressive anymore, and pursed her mouth, "I don't know how to teach." ”
Seeing that Concubine Qi had no words, Fang's heart was a little quick, for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, he just wanted to turn the page, so he made a gesture and clicked on Jian Ying's head, and scolded with a smile: "What do you say about getting married for the first time, how many times do you want to get married?" ”
"Once again, I'm not stupid, after leaving the palace, where can I go to find an enlightened mother-in-law like you?" Jian Ying playfully patted her ass.
Fang Shi smiled and said to everyone: "Look, this girl really has a clever mouth that can coax people. ”
Everyone echoed each other, making jokes, and swept away the previous unhappiness.
After gossiping for a while, Lianzhu went in to report that the meal had been arranged. The Fang family left Jian Ying to have breakfast together, and only after the others dispersed did they explain her intention to leave her alone, "Last night, the second young master sent someone to remind me, saying that the dowry girl and mother-in-law in your room are still receiving the monthly money you gave."
I was negligent in this matter, and I was dizzy recently by the one in the Pujia Courtyard, but I wronged you.
Later, I will ask Zhang's mother to come over, register the people in your room into the register, and make up the monthly money for the previous month. ”
Jian Ying didn't expect Zhou Shuzhen to mention it to Fang, and she was quite surprised. A few polite words, thanked him, accompanied Fang's to have breakfast together, and went back to the Blue Courtyard.
Fang's family was also very good, and soon called Zhang's mother to bring the steward over, and recorded Jiang's mother and the eight big girls into the booklet.
Xue Qin held a tray containing some loose silver to show Jian Ying, and said angrily: "Mother Zhang hinted just now that there are too many big girls in Miss Six's yard.
said that the number of young ladies who accompanied the wedding girl alone was the same as the number of big girls who served the princess closely, plus the four transferred by the palace, that is, twelve big girls, which was beyond the regulations.
Which young lady in the Jane family is not served by eight big girls? Besides, the four of them were originally the ones who served their uncle, how could they be counted on the head of the young lady? Isn't that bullying? ”
Jian Ying didn't express an opinion, "What else did Mama Zhang say?" ”
"He also said that we followed Miss Six to marry into the palace and took the wages paid by the palace, so we must follow the rules of the palace, and we can no longer use the titles of Uncle and Miss Six, but call the second young master and the second young lady."
Saying that, he looked at the silver in the tray with disdain, "The monthly money of the eldest girl of the Jian family is one or two dollars, why is the dignified royal mansion so shabby, only one or two?" ”
Jian Yingquan didn't hear it, and ordered: "You take the silver and divide it among the big guys." ”
Xueqin was stunned for a moment, then realized that she could get double monthly money, and thanked her happily: "The slave and maid thank Miss Six for the sisters, and Miss Six is still generous." ”
"Don't be busy praising me just yet." Jian Ying's tone was light, "You go and call Mother Jiang and the girls, I have something to say." ”
"Yes." Xue Qinfu responded, went out with a tray, and after a while, all the people who accompanied the marriage gathered in the bright room.
Jian Ying sat down on the top, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "What did Mama Zhang hint at, I think you all know it, so I won't repeat it."
Now that I am a daughter-in-law, I can't be bigger than my mother-in-law's pomp, so I can only leave six big girls. In other words, two of you will either be demoted to the second class of your own free will, or you will leave me to become a big girl with someone else.
Xueqin, Caiping, Xiaoji, these three I must stay. There are three places left, let's discuss it and see how it will be allocated. ”
