Chapter 547: Thoughts
Late at night, in the outer study of Master Du in the front yard of Du Mansion, the chief manager was reporting to the master what happened at home that day.
"That slut can really jump!" The old man took the tea and watched the light smoke in the cup slowly steam.
"Madame, maybe you believe what we say to the outside world!" The chief manager felt that Mrs. Du was really pitiful, did he really think that she could escape this catastrophe? Xiangye is busy now, and she has no time to take care of her, but she tosses the second young grandmother! Could it be that she thinks that Xiangye and the eldest master will not pursue the mistakes she committed? Are you busy trying to snatch back the power of the house from the second young grandmother?
"It's up to her to take the opportunity to clean up the house."
With the marriage of children, those who marry with their daughters, and those who marry with their daughters, and those who marry with their daughters-in-law, there is no shortage of new daughters-in-law who will marry maids, or accompany the daughters of the house to give the husband's family a promising steward or servant, or to the children and grandchildren of the house to marry the maids of the mother-in-law's family, in short, from generation to generation, it is involved, and everyone has a relationship!
He used to feel that his wife was not very friendly to his own family's children, and the maids who accompanied him were first married, and then some of them were promoted to the common house, and some were married, and then the ones who were selected to wait were either the daughters or granddaughters of the house's family, or they were sent from the ten thousand families.
Now he understands, because she has a ghost in her heart, she murdered Yun Yao and poisoned Yun Xun, so she is afraid that people will deal with her in the same way, so she doesn't need the sons of Du Mansion to serve her closely, and the servants in the family are all not servants from the family.
The old Chen family who was disposed of by Fan Anyang today, her husband Lao Chen is the son of the family, but she is not, she is the steproom of Lao Chen's mother hired from outside.
The king's steward and two minor stewards in the sewing room. is also the same, Steward Wang was originally working outside the embroidery village, but later when he was old, his eyes were not good, so he was drawn by the central matchmaker and married the grandson of Xu's companion. After Xiao Wan followed him back to Beijing, Xu's companion was either driven to Zhuangzi by her to find the wrong place, or was excluded and lost his errand.
The king's husband, mother-in-law, and children all lost their errands, so she relied on her to stay in the sewing room and do a little housekeeping. Later, the original steward of the needlework room died of a sudden illness, and she climbed up to be the chief steward.
If it weren't for Pingyue's own cleverness, she pulled her into the water, and instigated her to open the cabinet and destroy the winter clothes of the people in the house, they wouldn't know. She is Mrs. Du's person.
"Since they are all confessing, let's deal with it according to the family rules!"
"Second girl, that maid?"
"After the cane is punished according to the rules, send it to Zhuangzi!" He paused, "Just send it to the place near the Lok Ma River!" I remember that Kang Zhuang went back to Beijing and said that he was in Zhuangzi, and there were a few men who couldn't please his wife?"
"Yes, the maids who were sent out before were all sent to Kang Zhuangtou. As a result, Zhuangzi has held several happy events."
There are several Zhuangzi in Du Mansion near the stable, some of which are remote and desolate, with an annual income of less than 100 taels. Some real estate is abundant, and there can be thousands of taels of money just in a year, and the Zhuangzi of Kangzhuang is just in between.
"I heard that the second young grandmother is in charge and sent the little girl named Pear Blossom to Zhuangzi?"
"Yes. She went to Zhuangzi, where Qingqing's family went, her sister said. Her sister is simple, and the days in the house are without her. I was afraid that she would be rubbed to death in a few days, so I begged the second young grandmother to send her to Zhuangzi and tell her that she would be a good family and be taken care of by her in-laws, so she would be at ease even if she died! "
The eldest man smiled when he heard this, "That stupid girl will answer?"
"yes!" The general pipeline, also Chun Tao's luck, when she meets a soft-hearted master, she dares to murder her mother, it is a dead end, and that master can still help her place her sister!
But because of this incident, the house's evaluation of the second young grandmother is getting better and better, probably because of this, Mrs. is afraid that if it drags on any longer, it will be impossible for her to get back the right to be in charge, so she will make a stupid move, right?
In Changyuan, Du Yunlei cried to Fan Anyang with tears, so pitiful!
"Second sister-in-law, if you have a lot of adults, spare Pingyue this time! It was she who misunderstood the second sister-in-law, so she made a mistake, second sister-in-law, don't worry about her, she is just a little maid! Will you raise your noble hand and spare her?"
Fan Anyang was completely undisturbed in the reconciliation, she and Mo Xiang had a very tacit understanding, one read and the other dialed the abacus.
Du Yunlei peeked at Fan Anyang's master and servant through the handkerchief, seeing that they were indifferent, she couldn't help but get angry, and was about to get angry, the servant woman waiting next to her was busy pulling her, Du Yunlei remembered the rattan that Yan Mama held in her hand, and asked her to remember the misfortune from the mouth before acting, the back of her hand hurt for a while, and she was busy suppressing her temper and was quiet for a while.
"Second sister-in-law." This time the soft lower body, soft and glutinous call.
Fan Anyang had a chill, copied the numbers on the abacus to the notebook in front of him, and then threw the notebook in front of Du Yunlei.
Du Yunlei was taken aback, "Sister-in-law, this is?"
"This is settled, the loss of the sewing room, you can take a look!"
Du Yunlei picked up the notebook and looked at it, but unfortunately she didn't understand it, she only knew that it seemed to be a huge number.
Fan Anyang glanced at Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang was drinking tea to moisten her throat, seeing this look, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth slightly, put down the tea bowl, she stood beside Du Yunlei, and kindly introduced to her, how much loss her loyal little maid had caused.
"You mean, all the winter clothes in the house this season have been ruined?"
"Yes, in order to let everyone in the house know, the second young grandmother bullied the second girl, so she did not hesitate to destroy everyone's winter clothes, she is really dedicated to your good! It's just that the public middle school can't come up with the money, so it buys cloth to make clothes for everyone, and now the tailoring is redone, and it is too late to distribute it to everyone! ".
[,! Du Yunlei bit her lip, and Mo Xiang looked at her, "Second girl, you want the second young grandmother to spare her, but you want to pay this money for her?"
"Gah? Why should I pay for her?"
"She's here for you! This money, even if you sell her ten times, you can't sell it for so much money, if you want to save her, you have to pay this money for her, so as to calm the anger of the people! If you can't get your clothes, you can at least get money to make up for them."
Du Yunlei was stunned for a while, then turned her head and cried at Fan Anyang: "Second sister-in-law, you will help her with this money in large quantities!" I beg you! "
"Second girl, Pingyue wants to harm our girl. Why do you want our girl to pay this money for her?"
"The second sister-in-law is rich! Besides, isn't Ruyi Embroidery Village the second sister-in-law? The house can't catch up with this batch of winter clothes, just to help Ruyi embroider Zhuang to recruit students! The second sister-in-law has the right to take this money as a thank you for helping you attract business, right?"
Everyone in the house was looking at Du Yunlei with the eyes of the second goods, saying that their second young grandmother was a fool, and Du Yunlei was the truth. Fools!
This idea of two goods. They are incomprehensible to normal people, and their heads hurt so much!
"My sister is really a good person, sister-in-law, I sigh to myself. However, since my sister is so kind, and Pingyue is upset with her sister, so she destroys these winter clothes, so it should be that my sister will pay this money for Pingyue. In this way, you can achieve the reputation of your sister, a good master, and it will not be in vain for Pingyue to stand out for you! "
Du Yunlei didn't want Fan Anyang to talk back and put it on her head, asking her to spend money to atone for her good reputation and for Pingyue.
"But I don't have any money!"
Fan Anyang smiled and patted her head. Mrs. loves her sister the most, and she must be willing to pay this money for her sister's good reputation, but it is empty words, such a large sum of money, you are a child, and you rashly go to tell Mrs. Madame, Mrs. must think that her sister was coaxed. Then, my sister took this book to Mrs. to show it, and Mrs. read it. I'm sure I'll help you out with this money! "
Are you sure? Du Yunlei held the book given by Fan Anyang and timidly went to Rongqing Hall.
Mama Gu stood in the corner, watching the second girl walk away under the cluster of servants, before turning around and entering Fan Anyang's house.
"It turns out that the second young grandmother also bullies children!"
"People have stepped on my head, and I didn't return the color to look at it, it's hard to dispel the anger in my heart!" Fan Anyang clasped his hands on his waist. I'm still a kid! Madame, she is an adult who bullies me as a child, she is amazing! has the ability to find a bully of the same level as her! Only bullies small children. What is it?"
Oh, yes! If you don't want to have a son of your predecessors, don't marry someone to fill the house! Deal with small children. Murdering a child is really bad enough! It's time for her to taste what it's like for her child to be bullied!
Although it is difficult to see the second young grandmother playing with the child's temper, but this is finally like a normal person, otherwise she really has to wonder if the second young grandmother is still stupid, and she doesn't know how to get angry when she is bullied.
However...... "the second young grandmother asked the slave to come over, saying that there was something to discuss......"
"Hmm." Fan Anyang asked Mama Gu to sit, "I heard that this time, it was because Zhou Xiuniang, who was dedicated to embroidering flowers for the second girl in the sewing room, was sick and delayed the second girl's clothes, so they came up with this bad trick."
Mama Gu sighed: "Yes! Every year, there are people in the house who are sick, and some people who are unlucky never come back, and who are lucky enough to recuperate in a few days, but they are old, and they have some old problems. I can't see it when it's good, and it's terrible to get sick all of a sudden, and sometimes I even miss an errand, like Zhou Xiuniang this time."
She sighed heavily, "Zhou Xiuniang stayed up late to catch up with the second girl's clothes, and she was a little uncomfortable, and everyone urged her to see the doctor, but she was reluctant to spend money, and she was afraid that it would take at least one or two hours to go back and forth, and she was afraid that she would miss the second girl's clothes and hold on, and she almost didn't survive."
"So I'm thinking, if I cooperate with one or two medical centers on a regular basis, I will send a doctor to come to everyone's door every ten days to give everyone a safe pulse, and treat the illness as soon as possible, so as not to delay it into a serious illness."
"This, the cost ......"
"I'm just going to discuss this matter with Mama Gu." Fan Anyang took the paper and wrote to her, "I have calculated that it does not cost much, but it saves everyone the time to go to the hospital, and besides, the cost of this medicinal material, each person will produce a penny every month, and if you are sick, you don't need to spend any more money."
"The second young grandmother has one penny per person per month...... "Mama Gu can't say much, after all, the lowest monthly income is fifty wen, but she is not sick, ask them to pay this penny, who wants to!" Some people have never been sick once a year, but some people have two days of shouting headache and brain fever and need to take medicine, isn't it very unfair?
Moreover, "How many medicinal herbs can you buy for one penny per person!" "
"Mama Gu, do you know how many people there are in the Du Mansion? How much is a penny per person, a month?"
Mama Gu was stunned for a moment, according to what the second young grandmother said, it seems that it is indeed a large number.
"The money for the medicine is placed in the account room, and the doctor comes to diagnose the pulse, prescribe the medicine, and pay it directly to the account office in the house, so that the person who sees the doctor does not have to pay for the medicine."
"Isn't this going to make some money out of this?"
"So let's talk to Mama Gu! I know that some people in the house are sick, in order to save money, or for fear of missing an errand, they don't go to see the doctor, but the result is like Zhou Xiuniang this time, I almost can't get through it, so I think that I will ask the doctor to fix it in the house to give everyone a safe pulse, but the details have to be discussed again."
Mama Gu nodded secretly, "You have a good idea, I will tell the old lady and the old man when I go back, they are more thoughtful than us, and there are more people who come up with ideas, so they must be more thoughtful than what we say now."
"That's it. [,! Trouble Mama! "
"No trouble, no trouble!" (To be continued)
