Chapter 90: Smuggling
"Nie Rong, let me tell you, you are arrogant in front of me. Don't mess with your own pounds and taels, and then dare to provoke me, see if I don't clean up your cheap hooves. Now that the prince is gone, who do you think can protect you? ”
"What kind of green onions do you put on when you are old and decrepit, Su Zhenzhen will clean you up like this in a few days when she comes to the palace, you can have a few days better, go back and copy your book." The concubine was not reserved at all, and began to scold, "Su Zhenzhen is favored, what can you do with her." You think I don't know that you are secretly doing evil, and when the prince comes back to see me, I won't sue! ”
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise." Mei Niang helplessly stopped them, "Hurry up and send your master back to wash, what is it like, it's not a shrew who is scolding the street here." Let others see the joke. Come to my yard for a while. Mei Niang scolded angrily.
Mrs. Cheng also beat her, snorted coldly and turned her head to leave, and the concubine spat at her and turned away.
Mei Niang sneered in her heart, her mood was not affected in the slightest, and she continued to light her garden. Two fools can't turn the world upside down.
Mrs. Cheng and the concubine's affairs, Mei Niang, how to suppress it or not in the end, this matter spread in the palace, and even Su Zhenzhen, a person who did not come out of the door, heard about it.
When she listened to August's story, she was laughing on the bed and trembling and rolling, thinking that Mrs. Cheng was smashed on the ground and beaten fatly, she felt funny.
I have heard that Mrs. Cheng is the overlord in this mansion, and no one can provoke her, why do you hear that she is suffering every three or five times, and she is beaten and grounded, what kind of overlord is this.
But Su Zhenzhen didn't know at all that the treatment of every woman in this mansion was decided by Wei Han, and the prince favored her, so naturally no one dared to provoke her. If you lose power, you will only end up trampled by everyone.
It turned out that Mrs. Cheng was domineering with the power of her family, and Wei Han couldn't do anything about her, so everyone swallowed their anger. Now that Wei Han has rectified Mrs. Cheng several times for Su Zhenzhen, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this overlord is no longer good, and it turns out that those who have suffered losses have not hurried up to intervene.
Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, there are such cold-blooded people in this house.
Today, Su Zhenzhen doesn't go out, and there is no one to accompany her, the most I see in August is Su Zhenzhen in a daze, and now I am very happy to see her smile like this. But she is also vaguely worried about the safety of her master, Mrs. Cheng has suffered setbacks one after another, and she has a bunch of conflicts with the princess, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be a big disaster.
"In August, you can ask someone to pull out the flowers in the yard, and then go to the account room to get some rapeseeds, we will focus on delicious food.
"Growing vegetables? How could the princess have such a precious body do such rough work as growing vegetables. August said in surprise.
Su Zhenzhen smiled and waved her hand to educate her, "Didn't I tell you, we are all equal, you respect me in front of outsiders, don't be like this when you come back." What gold is expensive or not, I don't have this statement. ”
August pursed his lips, and didn't dare to accept Su Zhenzhen's statement, so he obediently went to find someone to do something.
Jin Shengguo is also strange to say, it is clearly the appearance of ancient times, but there are many things that were not in ancient times, such as potatoes, Su Zhenzhen clearly remembered that there were no potatoes in ancient history, only eggplants, leeks, green beans, broad beans, okra, etc., but Jin Shengguo can come out of potatoes, and there are many things that should not be there.
This is also strange, maybe this place is a different time and space from the history of my own time.
But reality often poured a basin of cold water on Su Zhenzhen, and August soon came back with a sad face, saying that the account office did not give it, on the grounds that there were no such things in the house.
Su Zhenzhen wondered, she had mentioned this matter to Wei Han before, and Wei Han had already asked people to handle it for her.
"It shouldn't be, how could it not be, the prince personally went out to buy it for me, and I asked him to put it in the account room." Su Zhenzhen's stubborn temper came up. Do these people really think that she is a soft persimmon and secretly deduct things for her, and this thing has to be dealt with her, not to mention that Wei Han bought it for her.
Su Zhenzhen stood up suddenly, and the cup in her hand was heavily placed on the table, "Let's go, I'll go and see, it's the other way around, when I'm what." ”
When August saw Su Zhenzhen's formation, he immediately cheered loudly, "The princess is finally going to stand up!" ”
Su Zhenzhen wore the clothes that Wei Han had picked for her, and asked August to paint her a delicate makeup, and took all the guards outside her courtyard towards the account room.
"The side princess is auspicious."
As soon as the people in the account room saw Su Zhenzhen coming, they immediately greeted her, but there was only one small minion, which was enough to show that those people didn't care about her.
Su Zhenzhen waved her hand and rolled her eyes impatiently, and scolded, "Call Mr. Bookkeeper to come out." ”
The slave was also blinded, and they all heard from the people in the house that the new side concubine was a good temper, and since the prince left, this master locked himself in the courtyard and didn't dare to come out, why does it look a little different from what they said now.
"Don't hurry up yet. Tell this concubine to wait for you? Su Zhenzhen scolded angrily, raised her foot and kicked the wooden barrel at the door, "Come on, go and invite the housekeeper to me." Tell him to administer justice to this concubine! ”
Seeing this, the slave broke out in a cold sweat, and someone immediately walked out inside.
"Oh, oh oh princess, it's the slave who is negligent, I didn't hear it when I was busy working inside just now, it's the slave who is stupid, and I made you wait for a long time."
This gentleman Su Zhenzhen has also seen it, and I heard August say that he is a snobbish master, and seeing the wind and making the rudder is his strength. Now seeing his mean face, Su Zhenzhen is angry.
"Sir, a few days ago, the concubine was like experiencing life, and the prince specially bought some seeds for the concubine outside. But the concubine asked the housekeeper to put it in the account room, why did she come to pick it up in August today and said that it was gone? What's going on, the things that the prince bought for the concubine will also disappear? ”
The bookkeeper paused for a moment, just now a little girl said what kind of seeds she wanted, he didn't bother to pay attention to it and directly asked someone to send it away, but he didn't expect this master to come in person.
"Princess Princess, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, the slave didn't hear anyone ask for seeds just now, it is estimated that it was because of the blindfolded things under his command that he didn't recognize that the August girl would make this kind of mistake."
Su Zhenzhen sneered, "It's not to open your eyes, and the slave dares to offend the master, I don't know what the prince will think when he hears it." Concubine Ben remembered that before the prince left, he sent a few people to me, should I let the concubine's patience go in and search? ”
After Su Zhenzhen finished speaking, the guards behind her walked up and blocked the door of the account room.
Mr. Bookkeeper saw that this was not a good person, these guards were indeed the personal guards of the prince, and it was said that they were left to protect this master. He was embarrassed, where did he dare to be tough, and knelt on the ground with a puff.
"The princess spares her life, you have a lot of them, so spare the minions this time. It is the minions' lax discipline that will make you suffer such grievances. They don't know, the slave knows, that thing was bought for you by the prince himself, and the housekeeper personally sent it. The minions did not dare to slack off. He pleaded bitterly.
Su Zhenzhen didn't buy it, she had a lot of anger in her heart these days, not to mention the matter of seeds, they were clearly deliberate, and said sarcastically, "It's rare that you still remember that thing, there are many gold, silver and jewelry in this mansion, everyone has it, and it's not valuable." But not everyone has the mind that the prince thinks about himself. I thought I was going to trouble the butler over to this matter. ”
"Everywhere, all the little things are the fault of the minions, how can you use it to trouble the housekeeper." The bookkeeper said fearfully, "The slave will go and fetch it for you now." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Zhenzhen's eyes, and when he saw that she had no objection, he immediately got up and ran in to look for it.
Before Wei Han left, all the big and small things in the house were handed over to the housekeeper and Mei Niang, but they had different division of labor, the housekeeper managed the big and small things in the middle and outside of Wei Han, while Mei Niang handled the affairs in the backyard.
The housekeeper grew up taking care of Wei Han, and he was a respected old man in the house, and when he said others, Wei Han was polite, if such a thing was known to him, he would definitely guess that they would detain Su Zhenzhen, and a few seeds would bring them a lot of disaster.
Suzhen quickly got the package, a large package with a variety of small packets labeling different types of seeds. Su Zhenzhen smiled, and was about to leave now, when she heard a voice behind her.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Su? How did it end up here? Mei Niang, who came to check the accounts, said with a smile, a little surprised.
Su Zhenzhen really didn't want to meet them, but when she thought about the situation in her courtyard, she had other ideas, and immediately saluted obediently, "I haven't seen Sister Mei for a long time, it's even more beautiful." I'm here just for a little thing, to get something. ”
"What do you take?" Mei Niang looked at her curiously, and then looked at these people kneeling on the ground, "Hey, what's wrong with them?" ”
"Nothing, I made some small mistakes, I said a few words. After all, in this house, no matter how the master is, he is not the master, how can he be ridden on the head by others.
It's not a good thing, I wanted to grow vegetables a few days ago, so I bought seeds and put them here, but I didn't expect them to say that they were gone, so I had to come and ask for it myself. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I'll give you some. ”
"Okay, as soon as my sister said it, I was also interested, I don't know where my sister plans to plant it?"
"My yard, I asked someone to tear down the garden and prepare to plant it there."
Mei Niang made a move, the garden, Su Zhenzhen's garden is full of flowers bought by the prince at a high price, many of them are rare varieties, she just pulled it out?
Su Zhenzhen didn't notice Mei Niang's expression, "Alas, I heard that the house has been a little tight recently, so all the yards are saving money on food and clothing, how can I be embarrassed to be extravagant." It just so happens that there are seeds here, so I can plant a little to help the palace save money. ”
Mei Niang heard this, and when did the palace be so difficult that they had to farm and maintain.
"It's not that difficult, what do you say, let the account room give you is, the prince is so close to you, how can he treat you badly. If you come back and see that you've lost weight, don't blame me. Mei Niang said politely, turned her head and glanced at the bookkeeper, the man lowered his head and trembled, and he didn't do anything good at a glance.
"My house is already hot and dry, and there has been no ice supply here in the account room recently, and all the original pastry snacks are gone, otherwise I really want to invite Sister Mei to sit with me, let's catch up."
Mei Niang understood, but it must have been Mrs. Cheng who was secretly telling these people to clean up Su Zhenzhen. The matter of the seed just now was also discussed by this master.
"Hey, not really. My sister is in charge of you today, it turns out that what you have in your yard will be what you will receive today, how can you make you suffer. If there is any problem in the future, my sister will come to me. ”
Su Zhenzhen was moved and immediately cried, and took Mei Niang's hand affectionately, "Thank you, sister, but how embarrassed am I." There is something going on in the palace, everyone should contribute, and my sister will go back and plant these seeds now. ”
"Sister Sue......"
"Don't bother my sister!" Su Zhenzhen exaggeratedly wiped a handful of tears, turned around and left, still trembling and choking.
Mei Niang looked at her back thoughtfully, whether this woman was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. If you pretend to be stupid, why do you always hear that she makes the prince angry, and she wants to run away day by day.
But if it's really stupid, just a few words have brought back all the bad treatment in his yard. Anyway, if you can trip Mrs. Cheng over, it will never be a fuel-efficient lamp.
