Chapter 28: There is nothing to be done
Bang!
The old lady was full of anger, picked up the printed porcelain bottle on the table and smashed it, falling into pieces all over the ground.
The old servant who was waiting next to him felt uncomfortable, and persuaded repeatedly: "The old lady is angry! If you are angry, then you will really fulfill the will of the eldest lady! ”
The old lady glanced at the old servant, took a heavy breath and sat down. If in the past, the old servant would have reprimanded him for saying such bad things about the housewife, but this time he listened to it.
Two days ago, news came from Wuzhou City, saying that the caravan had encountered robbers on the way, and the manpower had suffered a lot of losses, and only one dart had escaped, and the old butler had suffered an accident.
The old housekeeper has worked hard for the Lu family and has been loyal for 30 years, and he and his wife are the most trusted arms.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?
Hearing the bad news, Mrs. fell ill directly, and he was also quiet in grief, but he didn't notice Yang's small movements, until Mrs. was frightened and screamed by the ghost shadow in the house the night before, and then she woke up.
Madame believes in Buddhism, but he doesn't believe in it, let alone that there are ghosts in this world!
The night is haunted, it is obvious that someone wants to aggravate the condition of the lady, and at this time, the subordinates are spreading the news that the Yang family is dismissing the subordinates of the old housekeeper and wants to monopolize the power, which is no more obvious.
"Daring! How daring! ”
The old lady's face was tense, and the chair handle "gurgled", but there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Since Juncheng got married, he felt powerless, unless there was a major event in the family that required him to intervene, and the trivial matters in the family were handled by the old housekeeper and the Yang family together.
He never thought that Lin Cheng would suddenly leave him.
Without the backbone of the old housekeeper, the descendants of the older generation would have been in a mess a long time ago, and he was deceived by the Yang family, who had been prepared for a long time, and only reacted today, and he had lost the opportunity.
"Young's ......"
The old lady gritted his teeth and hummed, in addition to unwillingness, there was also a strong fear and worry in his eyes.
Although he is old, his brain is still good.
The old butler died too strangely.
These days, although the Yang family has made many mistakes, which makes him a little shaken in his heart, but after all, the Yang family is the mother of the Lu family, and his thoughts have not changed, and when he gets old in the future, the Lu family's industry is Juncheng and Yang's.
But he never expected that the Yang family was so anxious and so ruthless and decisive. Does she really have the patience to let him and his wife live out their old age in peace?
The old lady was chilled, and hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, but stopped halfway through writing.
Juncheng is far away in the capital, and it takes two months to send a message back and forth, which is too long. Yang had already prepared, if this letter was cut off by her, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"In the end... What should I do? ”
encountered a crisis in his later years, and the old lady thought that his brain was hurting, but there was nothing he could do.
But at this moment, a message from the servant came from outside the house: "Old lady, the third girl asks to see." ”
God raised his head and his eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Please come in!" ”
He has seen the resourcefulness of the three girls, maybe she will have a way.
Not long after, Lu Yunqing, who was wearing a black skirt, walked in and saluted respectfully: "Yunqing greets my grandfather." ”
"Three girls, get up."
The old lady casually covered the half-written letter with this booklet, got up and walked out from behind the desk, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Why do the three girls have time to come to see me today, this old fellow?" ”
Lu Yunqing glanced at the grandmother who was cleaning the debris on the ground, with a bit of shame on her face, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, my granddaughter really can't turn around, last month and this month, the account office has never given Jinxiuyuan half a penny. ”
As soon as the old lady heard this, he pulled down his face and snorted: "Then if you don't go to the accounting room, what are you doing here?" Do you want me to go to the bookkeeper to help you ask for money? ”
Lu Yunqing lowered his head and didn't answer, knelt down directly, and cried: "Ask grandfather to make the decision for his granddaughter." ”
The old lady was already angry, and when she heard it, she was upset, so she directly grabbed the teacup in her hand and smashed it next to Lu Yunqing.
"Get out! Get out of here! ”
The flying sharp shards slashed through, sliding a shallow blood mark on Lu Yunqing's side face. The grandmother who knelt on the ground and cleaned was even worse, cut several blood marks by the flying debris, and fled in fright.
In the blink of an eye, the people walked cleanly, and the old lady saw that Lu Yunqing was still not leaving, so she reached out and grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and was about to smash it, but she saw Lu Yunqing suddenly stand up by herself, and said indifferently: "Grandfather, it's okay to act here." ”
The old lady was stunned.
Acting?
Why acting?
"The mother has a lot of eyeliner, and I don't know how many there are in this yard, so my granddaughter can only make this decision."
Lu Yunqing explained, frowned slightly, stretched out her fingertips and tapped her cheeks, seeing the red blood stains on her fingertips, a cold color flashed in her eyes, but an apologetic expression appeared on her face, "I hope grandfather don't blame." ”
"I see."
The old lady suddenly realized, and when she saw the blood marks on Lu Yunqing's face, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and said, "How can you blame it?" I'm also confused, and I'm getting heavier, are you okay with this injury? ”
"It's okay."
Lu Yunqing was helpless, with a bit of sadness in his words, "There are not many scars on the face." ”
Hearing this, the old lady subconsciously glanced at Lu Yunqing's forehead covered by hair, and sighed secretly. If there is no scar on the face, with the wisdom of Yun Qing's girl, she can win a good family for the Lu family.
"Grandfather, let's get down to business."
Lu Yunqing's expression was straight, "Mother's matter, granddaughter has heard about it, grandfather doesn't have to worry, just do one thing, everything can be solved." ”
"What's the matter?"
The old lady was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Lu Yunqing's eyes flashed, "Mother dismissed the old housekeeper's old department, you can't stop it if you want to, it's better to push the boat with the water." ”
"Push the boat down the river?"
The old lady looked puzzled when she heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't that the Yang family's intention?" ”
"No, grandfather can take the opportunity to purge the people in the house."
Lu Yunqing's tone was unflustered, and the old lady's heart calmed down when she heard it, and she patiently listened to her, "Since the moment my mother took over the affairs of the family, she has never stopped buying people's hearts. To this day, it is really hard to say how many people in the family are still from the side of grandparents and grandmothers. But on my grandfather's side, I think that in addition to the old housekeeper, there should be a few trustworthy subordinates. ”
"Not bad."
The old lady bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Three girls, what do you want me to do?" ”
Lu Yunqing smiled slightly, "I'm tired of my grandfather sending people to keep an eye on the movements of all the subordinates in the mansion, now is the best time to distinguish between the enemy and me, and there will be no such store in this village after this village." As for the crisis brought about by the mother, it is actually not terrible. As long as the old lady can secretly settle those dismissed subordinates, within a month, the predicament will be solved. ”
The old lady was in a fog when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out what the use of doing this could be, the third girl obviously didn't say everything, and he was about to ask a question, but he saw Lu Yunqing speak first.
"Grandfather, some words don't work. You don't have any other way now, so why don't you just use a dead horse as a live horse doctor? ”
Saying that, Lu Yunqing added in a low voice: "Grandfather, the granddaughter is also for self-preservation, if the mother is in power, the granddaughter is afraid that she will have to go back to suffer." Even if it's for my own sake, I will never let my mother succeed. ”
This selfish statement is more convincing than any reason.
The old lady's eyes finally became fierce when she heard this, and she nodded heavily.
……
The news that Lu Yunqing went to see the old lady soon reached the ears of the Yang family.
"Madam, the dead girl is also poor and confused, and she actually ran to the old lady to ask for money, and the old lady was angry, and immediately smashed the teacup in anger, and the pieces flew everywhere, cutting the dead girl's face."
Mama Wang said happily beside Yang's side, maybe she was often beaten by her wife, she was solid, she suffered forty boards but picked up a life, and she was able to move again after half a month of recuperation.
The corners of Yang's mouth hooked slightly when he heard this, picked up the delicate dim sum on the table and put it in his mouth, and said leisurely: "She is hiding people's eyes and ears and scaring away you idiots, and she must have said something else to the old immortal." ”
"What?"
Mama Wang's face changed slightly, and her eyes became ruthless, "That little fox, why didn't I find her so cunning before." ”
"It's okay, everything has been closed, and she can't turn over no matter how she jumps."
Yang's smile looked very wanton, "How are the subordinates on Steward Lin's side dismissed?" ”
"It's coming, I'll be dismissed in two days."
Mama Wang carefully pinched Yang's shoulders and replied, "The work in the pharmacy has also been changed, and within three days, this Lu Mansion will be full of people inside and out." ”
"Hahaha......"
Yang laughed loudly, then lowered his head, his eyes flashed with a hint of relief, "I have been in the camp for many years, and I have finally come to this point, and my hard work has paid off...... Come on, call Mama Yu in! ”
After a while, Mama Yu, who looked frightened, was invited into the house.
"Madame!"
Mama Yu knelt down with a "plop", and began to kowtow without saying a word: "The slave knows it's wrong." ”
"What's wrong with you?"
Yang didn't raise his eyebrows, looked at the bracelet on his wrist, and said in a weird manner: "Be the person next to me, but you still take an extra piece of the old lady's moon gift, this double deal is exchanged for me, and I like it too." ”
was revealed by a word, Mama Yu's face instantly turned as white as paper, and she begged bitterly: "Madame spare her life, the slave didn't leak the secret this time!" ”
"You've got to be glad that your mouth is tight enough this time, otherwise where would you get the chance to kneel here and talk to me? However, capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. ”
Yang raised his eyes and looked at Mama Yu indifferently, "Come on, pull out her tongue, throw it into the room, and be a raccoon Mama in the future." ”
Mama Yu trembled violently when she heard this, and kowtowed even more vigorously, "Madame, spare your life!" Madame spare her life! The slave and maid didn't dare anymore, and begged the lady to give the slave and maid another chance! ”
Mama Yu begged to be dragged down, and soon a scream came from outside the courtyard, which made all the grandmothers in the house tremble slightly, and they couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.
Yang's face did not change, and he continued to command: "The three girls came out at this time, but they reminded me that the Splendid Courtyard should also be taken back. ”
