Chapter 026: Windfall

Mengbao asked the old lady to say goodbye, and Zhao's mother also respectfully saluted the old lady, and said: "Originally, the red paper jewel accompanied the young lady to greet you, but the slave maid has not seen the old lady since returning home, and this time it is thanks to the old lady's care that she was able to return to the young lady, and she is really grateful to the old lady, so I came to thank the old lady today." ”

The old lady withdrew her gaze from Mengbao, looked at Mother Zhao a few times, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are a person who understands the rules, in the future, you will stay by your young lady's side and serve her, although Jingxinyuan is small, she also needs a housekeeper mother who can withstand the scene."

"There are some things that your young lady can't come forward with, but you can, if these few people can't control it, then the young lady will move back to Zhuxi Garden in the future, I can't expect you old people to bring her any help, don't say I'm not kind to me when the time comes."

first affirmed Zhao's mother's status as a housekeeper's mother, and then warned her very bluntly, if she can't manage the people under her hands, she will find someone who can manage it well to replace her.

And Mengbao and Zhao's mother had no doubt that the old lady's last few words were definitely said to Baozhu.

Listening to her tone, she should know the situation between Mengbao and Baozhu, and she seems to know some hidden secrets.

It's just that how could the matter of the inner house of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenyuan be known to her, the old lady of the Marquis Mansion in Dingnan, who lives in a simple place? It's kind of weird.

The focus of Zhao's mother on the side was not quite the same as Mengbao's, and what she kept repeating in her ears were the words "moving back to Zhuxi Garden" and "helping".

The old lady was so concerned about the affairs of Jingxin Yuan, it seemed that she was not only dissatisfied with the more and more excessive behavior of the Li family, the head of the house, but also the intention of promoting their young lady.

This thought made her heart very happy, and she replied to the old lady's words without changing her face, but her heart was already overturned, thinking that their young lady's good days had finally come.

The old lady had no intention of setting rules for Meng Bao, so she let her leave after chatting casually.

Mother Xu sent them out, and when she arrived at the gate of the hospital, Mother Zhao took her hand and handed over a heavy purse.

"The slave can come back this time thanks to Mother Xu mentioning it in front of the old lady, this kindness is really irrepayable, a little heart is not a respect, and I hope that Mother Xu will accept it, don't dislike it."

Mother Xu smiled and pushed her purse back: "You and I are the same people, why do you need to say anything about slaves and maids, not to mention that you are the person next to the young lady, I just mentioned it in passing, it is also a matter of taking you back, where can it be regarded as a kindness, don't say these words in the future." ”

Mother Zhao pushed the purse back again: "There are many words that can be mentioned in this world, but not everyone will mention it, Mother Xu is willing to mention this sentence is to look up to me, I should remember your kindness." Don't be polite, or you'll put me in a situation where I don't repay my kindness. ”

Mother Xu smiled and put away the purse, chatted with the two of them again, and sent them out.

When she returned to the room, the old lady was lowering her eyes and turning the Buddha beads in her hand, and when she heard the movement, she asked, "How is it?" ”

Mother Xu smiled and gave the purse in her hand to the old lady: "Although it was given by Mother Zhao, but look at this weight, if it weren't for the young lady's instructions, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare to make the decision to give so much." ”

The old lady nodded: "Knowing that there is a relationship, it means that there is indeed a desire to fight in this mansion, this is a good thing, you keep an eye on the movements of Jingxin Yuan with logistics, if you don't cause any big trouble, don't let the Li family make any trouble for them." ”

"Yes, the old lady is merciful, the young lady will definitely know your mind, and she will take good care of her body and take on the burden of this Hou Mansion in the future."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I hope so. The mother Zhao next to her is a little young, I was a little relieved, but today I look good, obviously gave birth to such a good face, and it is the only splendid years left, but I am willing to give up this face that is about to wither for her, deliberately dressed old-fashioned, and honestly stayed in Zhuangzi for so long, not showing the mountains and waters, it can be seen that it is a heartfelt. ”

"Yes, after all, this person is the person left by the serious lady in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion before, if she is not reliable, how can she be left by the young lady's side."

The old lady nodded again, but sighed again: "But speaking of which, Mengbao still needs to hurry up and have a child, and it doesn't matter if you are on the side." It's just that Azhu is not in the house all the year round, and I don't know when I will be able to hold my great-grandson......"

Seeing that her brows were slightly furrowed, Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward to pinch her shoulders and comforted: "The slave maid heard that the young lady is learning cooking skills recently, and said that she wants to cook a table for the prince when he comes back next time." ”

The old lady's brows stretched slightly, but she didn't care much about it: "Zuo is just learning a few simple snacks, what is there to mention." ”

"It's not just a few dim sums, it is said that it is hot and cold, sweet and sour, fried and stir-fried, and even washing and cutting vegetables by yourself, and the recent meals in Jingxinyuan are all handwritten by the young lady."

The old lady seemed to be a little surprised, and then there was a little more smile in her eyes, which went straight to the bottom of her eyes.

"It's enough for her to have this intention, those subordinates still don't do much work, this illness has only been done for a long time, and she doesn't have to be tired anymore."

Mother Xu smiled: "I know that the old lady still feels sorry for the junior, but you naturally know the young lady's intentions, but you still have to wait for the prince to come back and let him know." ”

"It's better for the slave to go with her, otherwise the prince will come back and know that because of your preference, he can't eat the food cooked by his wife, maybe he will have to blame you."

The old lady laughed: "With your mouth, you can always coax people to be happy." ”

"The slave is not coaxing you, the slave is seeing that you are in a hurry to hug your great-grandson, thinking that the prince and the young lady Qin Se and Ming Tian are sweet, so that they can give you a few more white and chubby great-grandchildren, then they can really make you happy."

The master and servant laughed without saying a word in the room, but Mengbao, who was walking on the road, frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Mother Zhao, how much silver did you just hand to Mother Xu?" ”

Mother Zhao was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile when she saw her frowning slightly and her face aching.

It seems that the young lady has been deducted for too long before, and now when she talks about silver, she changes color a little.

"Miss, don't worry, although you didn't save any silver after marrying into the Dingnan Hou Mansion, before you got married, the Hou Ye privately handed over 5,000 taels of silver to the slave maid at the bottom of the pressure box, so that the slave and maid could take it out to subsidize it when you needed it. These five thousand taels have not crossed the clear road, and no one knows except the slaves and maids. Hou Ye was afraid that you would not have the heart to tell you later, so he turned his face to tell Mrs. SΓΉ and the old lady that he knew, so even you hid it. ”

"The slave and maid have not used this silver since they came to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion with you, and I am afraid that you will hand over the silver to the treasure bead for safekeeping after you find out, so ...... So I still haven't told you...... It's just that the slave didn't expect to be suddenly kicked out of the house, and before leaving, I didn't even have time to explain the red note, and you were deducted from the monthly case, and life was difficult......"

"The red note also wanted to find someone to go to Zhuangzi to sue the slave and maid, and asked me to think of a way, but the Li family did not allow others to help us pass the word, and the red note had no silver to dot, and the slave's silver was left in the house and could not be brought out, so this ...... That's ......"

At the end of her speech, her eyes were slightly red, both ashamed and apologetic, for fear that she would misunderstand that she wanted to monopolize the silver tael.

Mengbao listened to it, but only heard one key point, that is, she had five thousand taels of silver! Five thousand taels!

What does it mean to get a windfall? What is an unexpected surprise? She was almost stunned by these five thousand taels!

She grinned and looked at Mother Zhao, and took her hand with some excitement, as if looking at a God of Wealth.

"Mother Zhao, you did a great job! I'll put it with you until I get back to use it." ”

Mother Zhao was slightly stunned: "Miss, you...... You don't blame the slave? ”

"What do you blame? You're right, if you had told me about it before, I would have let the orb take care of the silver. ”

"Her big-handed temperament, she buys anything good when she sees it, and it doesn't matter if it's what I like or what she likes, otherwise why didn't I save a tael of silver when I was in the Hou Mansion before, but she herself had a bunch of head jewelry?"

The Hou Mansion that Meng Bao said refers to the Hou Mansion of Zhenyuan, and Su Mengbao before he got married handed over his monthly silver to Baozhu for safekeeping since he was ten years old, and since then he has become a veritable moonlight clan.

But she has a noble status, and she has no shortage of food and drink in the Hou Mansion, so she doesn't care much about these, and as a result, when she got married, she had nothing in her hand except the dowry.

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly, turned her head and asked Mother Zhao: "My dowry was also handed over to Baozhu for safekeeping, why did I have such a difficult life before, but I didn't see her take it out to make up for one or two?" Let me be sick and hungry? Don't...... She ......"

Mother Zhao shook her head: "That's not it, your dowry has been put into the warehouse after the Ming Road, not only you have a list in your hand, but now your wife Li also has it in her hand." Whenever she uses a little, Madame will notice it. ”

"Madame, although she always plays some selfish tricks behind her back, is a very face-loving, such as 'the daughter-in-law has to use the dowry in order to live', she will never allow it to happen. So the slave maid thinks that she doesn't allow the jewel to use the dowry, otherwise she will not be found out about her deduction of your monthly rites. ”

Mengbao thought about it, Baozhu's courage should not be enough to dare to swallow her dowry, although she still felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it, nodded and went back to Jingxin Garden.

Suddenly having such a large sum of silver, Mengbao was really excited for a long time, but then she thought of a question that made her suddenly feel that she had been poured cold water.

Zhao's mother said that the silver did not cross the clear road, which means that no one except the two of them knew where the silver came from, and there was no way to prove its serious origin.

And not only the Dingnan Hou Mansion, but even the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion no one except the Zhenyuan Hou knew that Mengbao had such a sum of silver.

In other words, if she is abandoned from the house in the future, then it is very likely that she will not be able to take this money with her! Because she couldn't tell where the money came from!

What can I do? Do you want to let her fly away with the duck in hand??
