In the inner hall of the back house, the chief steward of the accounting room Ma was kneeling on the ground and crying to the main mother He Ruoyunniang about what happened to him.

"I am a kind-hearted, knowing that she is living in poverty, I want to send her some money before the Shangyuan Festival, but I didn't expect to be beaten by Yuanqing, pity me for waiting for the lord for 30 years, and I still suffer from this bad luck when I am over half a hundred years old, please ask the master mother to make the decision for me!"

Steward Ma's two iconic golden front teeth were knocked out, and his speech was a little leaky, and he was resentful in his heart, if Yang Xuangan's sister-in-law Yang Jun beat him, he wouldn't dare to say anything, but an illegitimate son would dare to beat him, and it was to knock out his front teeth for fortune, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

He is also one of the three major housekeepers of the Yang Mansion, and he is also the god of wealth who manages money, and he is the one who distributes all the money of the Yang family's children, and when the Yang family concubines see him, they all have to respectfully call him Uncle Ma, and now he is beaten by an illegitimate son, and his chest is about to explode.

Standing next to the steward of the horse is Yang Jishan, he is the chief steward of the Yang Mansion, and this steward of the horse holds the financial power of the Yang Mansion, no one dares to slack off, and now that he is beaten, Yang Jishan can't sit still.

But Yang Jishan has already learned too many lessons, he knows that Yang Yuanqing is not easy to mess with, that kid is very fierce, so he pushed this matter to the main mother He Ruoyun Niang, he knew that He Ruoyun Niang was trying her best to seize the power of the Yang Mansion, and she always valued the financial power the most, and she would not care about the affairs of the horse.

He Ruoyun Niang sat on the couch, holding a string of sandalwood prayer beads in her hand, half-closed her eyes and listened to the cry of the horse steward, she was wearing a splendid dress that mopped the floor, her hair was combed with cloud temples, and she was full of jewels.

He Ruoyun Niang is the sister of He Ruobi of Shangzhu State, her family background is very hard, although she is not as fierce as Yang Su's ex-wife, but she is also a strong woman, but she has a bad relationship with Yang Su's sons, and Yang Su's third son Yang Xuanzong was in charge of the family before, she has always been set aside, and she is also very low-key.

But since Yang Xuanzong was also an officer the year before last, her opportunity came, and she and her concubine Yang Jishan, who also had no power, had the same illness, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Two years ago, she took advantage of the opportunity that Yang Xuangan's brothers were all officials outside the country to seize the power of the house, but her husband did not let her take power directly, she actively supported Yang Jishan as the chief manager of the Yang Mansion, Yang Jishan was also willing to be a puppet, and everything was under her command, and He Ruoyunniang gradually grasped the power of the Yang Mansion.

According to the rules of the Yang Mansion, slaves and maids are matched every three years, and this year is the first time she has been matched with slaves after she has mastered the power of the Yang Mansion, so she attaches great importance to it.

Nominally, this list was drafted by Yang Jishan, but in fact, who is worthy of whom is He Ruoyunniang's meaning.

In the previous slavery, the Yang brothers considered that Shen Qiuniang wanted to raise Yuanqing, so they deliberately let her go every time, but in the hands of He Ruoyunniang, she would not think about it so much, she first had to consider using this opportunity to win over some important people in the mansion.

Steward Ma holds financial power in his hands, and he is undoubtedly the first person she wants to woo, so when Steward Ma proposed that she wanted to marry Shen Qiuniang, she agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Steward Ma's two front teeth were knocked out, and she knelt on the ground crying, which made her extremely annoyed in her heart, she was a woman, of course she knew what Steward Ma meant by running to find Shen Qiuniang at night, but in order to appease this henchman, she had to make a tough gesture.

"Don't worry! That woman is yours, since I promised you, I will not break my word, you can endure it for a few more days, and after the Shangyuan Festival, I will be the first to match her to you. ”

"Woohoo! Thank you for your kindness. The steward was full of tears.

Yang Jishan next to him felt that it was a little inappropriate, Shen Qiuniang was Yuan Qing's nurse, and he was raised by the eldest brother on the order of the eldest brother, he knew very well that if he was given the horse steward like this, I am afraid that the eldest brother would be difficult to explain, and Yuan Qing was a grandson after all, even if the eldest brother was not there, he should at least ask for his father's opinion.

"Mother, it's better to ask my father about this matter again, I think it's safer that way."

"No need!"

He Ruoyunniang's face sank, and she said coldly: "I am a family mother, don't I even have the power to dispose of a slave?"

"Nope! That's not what the child meant, it's mainly the eldest brother's side....."

Yang Jishan didn't mention Yang Xuangan, it was a little better, as soon as Yang Xuangan was mentioned, He Ruoyunniang thought that she had been suppressed for more than ten years, and she was even more angry.

"Enough!" She shouted angrily, "I have already decided on this matter, and I can't change it anymore, don't persuade me again." ”

Yang Jishan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and at this moment, a maid came in and reported: "Old lady, the eldest lady asks to see you." ”

The eldest lady is the wife of the eldest son Yang Xuangan, Zheng, He Ruoyunniang was stunned for a moment, what did she do? It just so happened that Shen Qiuniang's matter had to be confirmed with her again.

"Let her in!"

Soon, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly walked in, she saw that Yang Jishan and Steward Ma were also there, and she was slightly shocked in her heart, although they would come to report on the income and expenditure of the Yang Mansion, but Steward Ma still had blood on his mouth, and the two signature big gold teeth were missing, so she immediately guessed that it was probably related to Shen Qiuniang's matter, otherwise how could Yuan Qing come to her in a hurry to redeem her slaves?

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

He Ruoyun Niang smiled hypocritically, this Zheng is the niece of the former master mother, and Yang Xuangan's wife, she will be her biggest opponent in the future, she has always been very careful with this woman.

Mrs. Zheng had a kind of annoyance of being tricked in her heart at this time, she was very greedy for gold and jewelry, but she was not stupid enough to dare to accept anything, the origin of the saber of the Turkic Khan was unknown, she did not dare to accept it anyway, but the slave deed had been given to Yuanqing, which means that she only has to pay but not in return, and she can no longer take the risk of offending the mistress for Yuanqing.

In this matter, she has to clear up her relationship with herself in time.

Mrs. Zheng took out the golden knife and put it on the table, "This golden knife was obtained by Yuan Qing from nowhere, saying that it was filial piety to me, but I saw that this was the knife of the Turkic Khan, I didn't dare to accept it, Xuangan had already gone to the state, and I couldn't call the shots, so I asked the master mother to transfer it to my father to deal with." ”

He Ruoyun Niang is the sister of He Ruobi, she still has a little knowledge, she also knows that the Sui Dynasty and the Turks are mortal enemies, and it is not a good thing that the things of the Turkic Khans appear in the Yang Mansion.

"Alright! I'll tell you about this, do you have anything else? ”

"And ....." Mrs. Zheng hesitated, she didn't know what to say, but she couldn't help but say, "There is also the slavery of Shen Qiuniang's mother and daughter, Da Lang asked me to hand it over to Yuanqing, I don't know ....."

"Absolutely not!"

He Ruoyun Niang was furious, "That woman's slave contract must not be handed over, you give it to me, and I will exchange ten slaves and maids with you." ”

But when she saw that Mrs. Zheng's expression was a little wrong, her mind changed and she immediately asked, "You won't have given them already!" ”

Mrs. Zheng nodded helplessly, "If you don't give it to Yuanqing, Da Lang will be angry, and I don't dare not give it." ”

He Ruoyun Niang's eyes stared at Mrs. Zheng, "Then tell me, when did it happen?" When did you give him the slave contract. ”

"This ......." Mrs. Zheng really couldn't answer, what to tell her, she also promised to give Shen Qiuniang to Ma Steward yesterday, and her husband left the day before yesterday, and there was a loophole in the time.

He Ruoyun Niang is so shrewd, she immediately understood, the golden knife for slavery is really a good deal, she sneered in her heart, squeezed out a smile, picked up the golden knife, and asked quietly: "When did Yuanqing honor you with this knife?" ”

Mrs. Zheng replied in a low voice, "It was what happened just now, and I immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so I came." ”

After a pause, she said apologetically: "Jiao Niang is not in good health today, if there is nothing else, I will go back." ”

Yang Jianniang is Mrs. Zheng's daughter, she didn't want to say more, so she used her daughter as an excuse to leave.

"I know about this matter, I will report it to the master, you go back to take care of Jiao Niang first!"

"Then I'm leaving."

Mrs. Zheng came here for three purposes, the first is to clear herself and make it clear in advance that she was a slave, and she didn't offend He Ruoyunniang.

The second is to use He Ruoyunniang's hand to punish Yuanqing, Yuanqing made her lose her knife, and she couldn't swallow this breath.

And the third purpose is to provoke He Ruoyun Niang's arrogance, just as He Ruoyun Niang regards her as an opponent, she also has a hostility towards this He Ruoyun Niang in her heart, He Ruoyun Niang replaced her aunt Zheng, she has been uncomfortable in her heart all these years, and He Ruoyun Niang does not go, how will she come out in the future?

Mrs. Zheng knew that He Ruoyun Niang was very shrewd, but she also had weaknesses, which were also the common weaknesses of the entire He family, and she was rampant, arrogant, and short-tempered.

She won't take a little slave to heart, but Yuan Qing regards the nurse as her biological mother, so the conflict between them will be inevitable, He Ruoyun Niang's irritability and Yuan Qing's stubbornness, this scene will really be wonderful.

Mrs. Zheng was very proud in her heart, she really wanted to go with her to take a look, but she also knew that she must not show her face at this time, she was Yuanqing's mother, in case of trouble, how would she deal with it?

Mrs. Zheng bowed silently, and secretly retreated proudly in her heart.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng left, He Ruoyun Niang immediately said viciously to Yang Jishan: "It's night, the county government has been closed, it's still too late, you go and grab the slave deed back immediately, go quickly!" ”

Yang Jishan's face was embarrassed, this kind of thing had never happened in the Yang family, if he let his father know, I was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around, he hesitated and said: "Mother, what if the slave deed is no longer in their hands?" And Yuanqing is quite martial arts, I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it. ”

He Ruoyun Niang glared at Yang Jishan fiercely, "Useless thing!" ”

She glanced at the horse steward, and the horse steward immediately kowtowed, "At the beginning, the housemother once promised to meet my three requirements, but I don't want three requirements now, only this one request, marry Shen Qiuniang as my wife, and ask the housemother to be my master!" ”

He Ruoyun Niang's eyes showed a vicious look, and she gritted her teeth, "Okay!" I'll give her to you tonight, and I think what can she do if she gets the slave deed? ”
