Seeing Mama Qiu calling herself, Wu Shigong was a little surprised. In fact, just now, I already tolerated Mama Qiu's excessive words and deeds, and I wanted to find an opportunity to communicate with Mama Qiu, why is she looking for herself now? However, it was good to take this opportunity to communicate, so the two of them entered the outer room of the master bedroom.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the conversation, Mama Qiu was incorrect: "Uncle, the slave maid asked the people in the inner house just now, and found that there was no one to serve around you at all." This time, the young lady selected a few maids for her uncle from the Hou Mansion, and the aunt could also choose them himself in the inner house. Otherwise, it will damage the dignity of my uncle. ”

This is also true, after Wu Shigong arrived in Henan, he never arranged a big maid and a maid in the inner house. However, Wu Shigong never cared about this matter, because according to the usual habits, the maid in the concubine's room who was in the same room served Wu Shigong every day. Wu Shigong is not a person who is unable to support himself. Besides, in this inner house, who would dare to let Wu Shigong sleep alone? So this problem is not a problem at all.

So Wu Shigong was a little annoyed in his heart, this Mama Qiu was too lenient, and it was all on her head. Wu Shigong just wanted to reprimand a few words, when he noticed that the curtain leading to the large bed in the master bedroom was a little shaky. Wu Shigong immediately understood, it turned out that Xue Yufei was eavesdropping in the back. Without looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, Wu Shigong couldn't speak ill of him, he took a long breath and explained:

"It's not too much of a concern. It is enough for them to serve with bamboo rhyme and embroidered bamboo. Besides, I'm used to their service, and I'm a little uncomfortable with changing people. ”

Wu Shigong pointed out to Mama Qiu, your daughter Zhuyun is also her concubine now, and she wants Mama Qiu not to go too far.

"Then do it according to my uncle's wishes. In the future, when my uncle wants to choose a portable maid again, I will talk to the slave maid. Wu Shigong didn't expect Mama Qiu to be persuaded by herself so easily.

Wu Shigong didn't know, in fact, Mama Qiu didn't care about this problem at all. Wu Shigong didn't have a big girl with him. Especially if there is no maid in the room, it is actually a good thing for Xue Yufei and Zhu Yun. Since Wu Shigong has refused, why should Mama Qiu be enthusiastic.

In fact, this time, Mrs. Zhang sent Mama Qiu to follow Xue Yufei to Runing, just to set up a field for Xue Yufei. Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was pampered and had no scheming, and she learned that her son-in-law Wu Shigong had accepted so many concubines, so she asked Mama Qiu to help Xue Yufei take full charge of the inner house.

Mama Qiu's status by Mrs. Zhang's side is like Zhu Yun's status by Xue Yufei's side at that time, they were all the foremaids before they left the cabinet.

And they will all marry with their own young lady at that time, and they will also help their young lady to fix their favor and take charge of the inner house. It's just because Xue Lian hurt his kidneys. Mama Qiu was not accepted by Xue Lian, and was assigned to a housekeeper of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion. However, Mama Qiu's status in the Yangwu Marquis Mansion has never been shaken.

In fact, from a modern point of view, Mama Qiu is actually a very capable woman, which is nothing more than the prejudice and discrimination against women in this era. Bury her. So that she can only show her skills in the inner house.

Mama Qiu has long understood that her approach is a bit excessive. After all, it's the rules, not about human feelings. Because in the Ming Dynasty, there were only very harsh mothers or mothers-in-law. will let the concubine or daughter-in-law completely follow such rules. Let them serve by their side.

Generally speaking, it means that the meaning is there. If the concubine or daughter-in-law comes forward to pretend to serve, the housewife or mother-in-law will immediately let her rest magnanimously, not like today's bowl of rice.

So Mama Qiu knew that Wu Shigong must be very angry, but Mama Qiu wanted to establish Xue Yufei's absolute status as the master mother in the inner house, therefore. She took the initiative to talk to Wu Shigong tonight, and took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation, just to hold the right to speak.

Mama Qiu said to Wu Shigong again: "The slave and maid seemed to be dazzled just now, is my uncle talking to the eldest sister?" ”

When Wu Shigong heard Mama Qiu, he saw himself talking to Xiaojie. This is not something to be seen, so he immediately nodded and replied, "Yes! What's wrong? ”

"Then the slave is going to say more." Wu Shigong immediately frowned, listening to what Mama Qiu would say, "My aunt is thriving, my eldest sister is growing up and adopting, I hope my aunt will be cautious in her words and deeds." ”

Wu Shigong didn't understand Mama Qiu's words all of a sudden, and was stunned for a while, and finally understood what Mama Qiu meant, and immediately became furious and scolded: "You are presumptuous! "If it weren't for Wu Shigong's never hitting women, Wu Shigong would have punched up.

"Ahh

Wu Shigong has always been very kind in the inner house, and he rarely gets angry, so his anger made Xue Yufei, who was hiding behind the curtain, couldn't help but exclaim in fright and walked out from behind the curtain.

And Mama Qiu knelt down with a "plop". However, there was no fear on her face at all, and she still said to Wu Shigong unhurriedly: "The eldest sister is already close to her age, and she doesn't stay in the boudoir at night, which will inevitably make people misunderstand." And my uncle is away all the year round, and there is less discipline in the inner house. This time, the lady asked the slave to come, just to help the young lady sort out the inner house. ”

Wu Shigong calmed down suddenly. He found that Mama Qiu's words were not wrong. Xiaojie is thirteen years old in the end, and she may still be a child in modern times, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was already time to get married.

But that's not a problem. Everyone can see that Wu Shigong really treats Xiaojie as a daughter. Wu Shigong didn't believe that Mama Qiu was an old virgin, oh no! Old woman, Wu Shigong looked at Mama Qiu's charm again. Wu Shigong can't find any other name, anyway, Mama Qiu would never do such a brainless thing, does she think it's fun to deliberately use words to stimulate herself, the head of the family?

Wu Shigong didn't believe this, because after a short contact with Mama Qiu, he already felt that Mama Qiu was a powerful woman. Then Mama Qiu's words must have ulterior motives. But for a while, Wu Shigong didn't understand what Mama Qiu's intentions were, so Wu Shigong completely calmed down and said coldly to Mama Qiu: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Mama Qiu knelt and kowtowed and said, "Miss! Uncle! The slave maid wanted to discipline the servants in the house well, so that they could also learn the rules of the big family. In addition, the accounts of the inner house should also be clear, and the lady should also take care of it carefully. Young sons and young ladies should also learn upbringing. does not fall into the dignity of the Hou Mansion. ”

Wu Shigong was suddenly angry. This Mama Qiu is not polite, she has to grasp the financial and personnel rights, as well as the education rights of her children! And Xue Yufei looked at Wu Shigong's expression nervously on the side, for fear that Wu Shigong would be angry again.

Wu Shigong could see that Mama Qiu's previous words and deeds were all pressure on herself, forcing her to make concessions and hand over the management of the inner house to Xue Yufei. However, Wu Shigong also understands that Xue Yufei's personality and temper will not handle the affairs of the inner house, and when the time comes, won't all the power fall into the hands of Mama Qiu?

However, at this time, Wu Shigong had no interest in arguing with Mama Qiu anymore. He simply cut through the mess with a quick knife. Immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay!" Just do what you say. I'm busy with outside affairs, and I can't take care of so many things in the house. However, I am tired from working outside, and I don't want to worry about Weishenme after returning to the inner house. ”

"Fei'er and Lin'er are the most important people in my heart, and I am relieved that she will manage the inner house. But I love all my family too. Especially inseparable from the service of bamboo rhyme. So what happened at dinner tonight, I don't want to hear about it again. Do you understand? When you understand, go down. ”

Mama Qiu immediately kowtowed and bowed and retreated. Everything she does today. That is, to give all the people in the inner house a dismount. As long as Wu Shigong's authorization is obtained, Mama Qiu will definitely not act so excessively in the future. Nor will she sin all the light. So after getting Wu Shigong's approval. And she went down satisfied.

After Mama Qiu retreated, Xue Yufei was still a little worried about Wu Shigong's anger, she leaned on Wu Shigong's side and said softly: "Mama Qiu's people are actually very haode. She has always been very kind to her concubines, so her other sisters and children will not suffer. Today...... Today, she will only do this if Madame confesses. ”

Wu Shigong laughed out loud. This stupid girl even confessed to her mother. Again. Will Mama Qiu be bad for Xue Yufei? However, Mama Qiu's kindness to Xue Yufei means that she is also good to others? Just look at the punishment she gave to her daughter Zhuyun at that time.

Seeing Wu Shigong's laughter, Xue Yufei was even more flustered. She hurriedly said: "Actually, the concubines like the husband's children very much. This time the concubine came over. I thought about discussing one thing with my husband, Hou Ye and his wife found a family for Lin'er, it was the seventh lady of the British princess's family, and the concubine body had also been seen, and she was quite a match, and her age was about the same. As long as the husband nods, the concubine will send a letter to settle this family business. ”

Wu Shigong rolled his eyelids and stared at Xue Yufei for a long time, how old was his Xue Chenglin child? Why do you have to decide on a family affair? Although I know that the Ming Dynasty advocated early marriage, this is a little too much.

"What? Won't the husband agree? Xue Yufei's face became even more worried.

"Oh no!" Wu Shigong immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "I have been away from the capital for a long time, and the affairs of the mansion should be decided by the Hou Ye and Mrs. I don't have any opinions. ”

Xue Yufei became happy all of a sudden, and then said: "The concubine will also let the lady look for it and find a good family for the eldest sister in Xungui's house." ”

"Needless to say, for now!" Wu Shigong immediately rejected Xue Yufei's kindness, "Now that Xiaojie is still young, let's raise it for a few more years." When the time comes, everything will take its course. To tell the truth, those gentlemen in the capital are not worthy of my Wu Shigong's children. ”

At this time, Wu Shigong thought that he had come to this point, and his children's future marriages would definitely be mostly political marriages, and any free love would be insulated from them. If Xiaojie can achieve a positive result with Tao Xin, she can be regarded as doing a good thing. But it's too early to say all this.

Seeing Wu Shigong frowning again, Xue Yufei asked again, "What is the husband thinking?" ”

Wu Shigong stretched out his hand and pinched Xue Yufei's nose, and replied with a smile: "Husband is thinking: I want my wife to be carefree every day and not be bothered by anything." All right! It's not early, hurry up and give your husband wide clothes! ”

"Husband-!" (To be continued......)
