Chapter 33 The game is not life after all
Cheng Yuyao didn't know this, and even if she knew this, she only thought that the ancients around the dynasty she crossed were stubborn, and they only knew that they were blindly conservative and didn't know what innovation was. A sesame stuffed five-kernel shortbread has been eaten for hundreds of years, and it is like this year after year, and I don't feel greasy.
If you want to say that the sixth aunt is worthy of being twin sisters with the fifth aunt, as soon as her own sister opened her mouth like this, she hesitated for a while, and then she understood the hidden meaning of the fifth aunt's words. Now that I understand, I naturally cooperated as soon as possible.
"The slave thanked the second lady." The sixth aunt bowed down very respectfully.
For Cheng Yuyao, the second lady from Cheng Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of the third aunt, the sixth aunt would not have much disgust. But Cheng Yuyao is the daughter of the third aunt, and if the third aunt is not the only one in the Cheng Mansion who gave birth to a child, it is really hard to say whether she can have her current status. Now, although she will not take the initiative to harm Cheng Yuyao, the second lady who is held in the palm of Cheng Qingye's hand, if she can watch her make a fool of herself and use this to see the third aunt's jokes, the sixth aunt is still very happy.
"No thanks...... Well, if you like it, I'll come back to some new flavors and let the chess serve you. Cheng Yuyao habitually replied "No thanks", thinking of what kind of respect and humility are paid attention to in this time and space, he deeply swallowed the last word "Xie".
"That'...... Thank you, Second Miss. Five or six aunts glanced at each other, and a thought came to their hearts almost at the same time, that is, these two young ladies are really easy to fool. The five or six aunts didn't know that when they gradually moved away, in fact, in Cheng Yuyao's heart, they also put these two people in the category of people who were easy to send.
As the saying goes, when you look at others as fools, you are actually the stupidest ones, talking about those who think they are smart.
"Miss, do you really want to send snacks to the two aunts?" Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Shiqin asked softly, "What if you let your aunt know......
"Send? Why not send it? It's just a snack, why are you so stingy? Cheng Yuyao glanced at Shiqin, and she really didn't like Shiqin's slashing little family. Shiqin, who wanted to persuade a few more words, turned pale, and when he saw his young lady say this, he didn't say anything anymore.
Cheng Yuyao didn't care about the change in Shiqin's expression, and at this moment, her mind was full of the side quest released by the convulsion system. The third aunt failed to insert/enter her cronies in the kitchen of Chengfu, and it is impossible to investigate this matter blatantly. Compared with Cheng Zhang's side, it is really difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. What's more, the third aunt may not be willing to let Cheng Yuyao be responsible for investigating this matter.
Fortunately, although the palace fighting system has been convulsed a little, it is still very useful in Cheng Yuyao's opinion. After two system prompts, this approximate list of suspects was swiped out. Up to Cheng Zhang's mother-in-law, Cheng Zhang, down to the maids and mothers-in-law who served below, even the masters and slaves combined, there were always hundreds of people. Cheng Yuyao was not idle, and after getting the so-called list, she found time to talk to these people on the list one by one. For each conversation, there is one less name on the list. After interacting with five or six aunts, the names of these two people disappeared from the list.
Cheng Yuyao looked at the almost transparent screen, and there was a large list of names left, and couldn't help but want to roll her eyes. This time is inevitably too tight. No way! I'll have to think of something else.
"Shiqin, come here." Cheng Yuyao beckoned to the waiter beside her, and then whispered a few words in her ear.
"Miss......" After listening to this, Shiqin suddenly had only one thought, and that was the big head, "Miss, should you discuss this matter with your aunt first?" ”
"What? Do you feel that you are from my aunt's place, so you can not listen to Miss Ben? Regarding the behavior of the third aunt at every turn, Cheng Yuyao instinctively resisted.
"Slave, slave maid don't dare." Shiqin hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cheng Yuyao to plead guilty.
"Not going yet?!"
Shiqin lowered her head and struggled for a while, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it was better to tell the third aunt about this matter. Who would have thought that before she could act, she let the waiter who was standing next to Cheng Yuyao notice it. Shi Qi muttered two sentences in Cheng Yuyao's ear, and Cheng Yuyao suddenly became angry.
"Remember! In the future, you are not allowed to sue anyone about the things in the Drunken Wind Garden! Including my aunt! If anyone knowingly commits a crime in the future, don't blame Miss Ben for being unkind to you! ”
"Yes~" The chess players responded in unison. As soon as Shiqin raised her eyes, she found that Cheng Yuyao was squinting at her, instinctively shrunk her neck, and hurriedly spoke: "Slave, slave doesn't dare." ”
On this day, Zuifeng Garden is very lively, and people come and go like a vegetable market. Cheng Yuyan, who was far away in Jingyaxuan in Dongyuan, was talking to Mama Xia when she heard about it from Gansong.
"Since it's rare for the second sister to be generous, you can go too." After Cheng Yuyan listened to Gansong's description, her eyebrows jumped very obviously, and then she said lightly. Such a bland reaction seemed to have been expected for a long time. In fact, something like this has happened.
In the previous life, in order to buy people's hearts, Cheng Yuyao also used his body and silver to reward his subordinates, and more than once. Cheng Yuyao was just a concubine's daughter, and the most critical mother-in-law, the third aunt, was just a down-and-out distant cousin, even if she successfully climbed into Cheng Qingye's bed later, and even managed Cheng Mansion instead of Cheng Zhang's family, she still didn't have much money in her pocket. Although Cheng Yuyao is very favored by Cheng Qingye, her food and clothing have caught up with Cheng Yuyan, the eldest lady, but she only has a little silver all month long. When she is a mother-in-law, she doesn't have much private money to subsidize it, and Cheng Yuyao is used to being so lavish, so it is naturally not very convenient to come and go. So the mother and daughter hit the idea on the head of Cheng Yuyan, who has a rich family. At that time, Cheng Zhang's family had been traveling for a long time, and even if he wanted to, it was impossible to climb out of the coffin to help Cheng Yuyan.
I didn't expect this to happen in advance.
Cheng Yuyan's Danfeng eyes were with an obvious smile.
Instinctively, Mama Xia, who felt a little bad, didn't have time to say anything, when she heard Cheng Yuyan instructing Bai Zhi over there to put her on the dresser, and the locked pear wood eight-treasure box was brought over.
"Big Sister......
Cheng Yuyan looked up at Mama Xia beside her, her old face was originally full of folds, and now the folds were all twisted together, so she smiled and said, "Mama, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." Let's see how much silver I have left. ”
Before Cheng Yuyan's words fell, she saw Bai Zhi walking out of the inner hall with a small dark brown wooden box. The wooden box is not big, boxy, the center of the box surface is carved with a big blessing character, and there is a chubby little bat at each of the four corners, lying on the flower branch of the swastika pattern.
Bai Zhi put the eight treasure box on the table, then took the key handed to her by Cheng Yuyan, and opened the small copper lock on the wooden box very neatly. Cheng Yuyan, as the eldest lady of Cheng Mansion, can receive ten taels of monthly silver every month. Of course, these are all income on the surface. In private, even if Cheng Zhang's gambling spirit has been in the Buddha Hall for a few years, there will still be a subsidy every month. In addition, there will be additional tips and greeting gifts when relatives and friends walk around during the New Year's holidays. Cheng Yuyan can count the days when she goes out all year round on one finger, and in addition to occasionally rewarding her subordinates every month, that is, when ordering dishes she wants to eat in the big kitchen, she needs to pay an extra amount of silver. But since Jing Yaxuan opened another small kitchen, this money has basically been saved.
Cheng Yuyan's private money has always been guarded by the big girl Dan Tang, and the key is placed in Cheng Yuyan's place. After the orange was released, it was the turn of Bai Zhi to take the financial power. To say how much body there is in this wooden box, even Cheng Yuyan herself doesn't know. I don't know if I don't take stock, but I really scared Cheng Yuyan a lot, much more than I imagined.
Cheng Yuyan originally thought that over the years, Cheng Yuyao had calculated a lot of good things, and the biggest loss was the silver every month. In fact, there wasn't much to lose. It can be seen that whether it is the previous dantang or the current Angelica angelica, they are quite dedicated.
Cheng Yuyan picked up a piece of broken silver, weighed it a little, weighed it for about three taels, then added a small piece, handed it to Bai Zhi, and ordered: "In a while, you take it to the big kitchen and ask Mama Kong to add some better meat dishes for you at night." Remember, don't let anyone know about it. ”
"Ah......" Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what her young lady meant, so she smiled and said, "The slave and maid thank Miss for your grace." ”
It took almost half a month of monthly silver to add food to all the subordinates of Cheng Mansion, and no one knew about it, and at first glance it really looked like a stupid person doing stupid things. In fact, this is not the case. Cheng Yuyao took out her own silver and rewarded the girls and mothers-in-law in each room and courtyard. It's a pity that this momentum has been created, but the actual effect may not be as good as Cheng Yuyan's secretly adding dishes without letting people know the effect.
There are not many girls in this Cheng Mansion, and the total number of zeros and zeros adds up to hundreds. Even if there were only ten copper plates per person, several taels of silver were gone in the blink of an eye. And ten copper plates are for the maids who have at least half a penny per month, I am afraid that they will not even lift their eyelids. If Cheng Yuyao wants to achieve the effect of fame, she will have to bleed profusely. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will steal chickens and not lose rice.
And Cheng Yuyan's side secretly acted so that no one could know, that was just a statement on the surface. If someone in private doesn't have a doorkeeper and leaks his mouth, it is also a common thing.
"Go ahead." Cheng Yuyan waved Bai Zhi out of the room, turned her head and faced Mama Xia with a smile on her face without accident, "Mama is satisfied?" ”
"My sister has grown up." Mama Xia reminded with a smile, "It's just that you have to be careful to watch out for people coming to cry poor." ”
"Then Mama, do you think it's better for me to borrow it, or not to borrow it?" Cheng Yuyan asked with a smile.
"This borrows ...... I'm afraid that Uncle Liu has borrowed it or not, but if he doesn't borrow it......"
Cheng Yuyan thought of those things before, but it was like a meat bun beating a dog, and it would never return. I'm afraid that in the eyes of her good second sister, she is no different from the moving money bank. Perhaps, even the money bank is not as good. At the very least, if you want to take out the silver in the money bank, you have to have a relevant seal, and when you get to her, you just take it directly.
"It is said that 'it is not difficult to borrow and repay', if my good second sister really needs it, how can she not borrow it when she is a sister-in-law. What do you say, Mama? ”
"That's what my sister said." Mama Xia nodded in response.
