Chapter 33: The Jade Bracelet
It's been a day and a night, what did her father do? You can't go to the casino for so long. Jiang Liu's little head flashed the classic shot of "full of red sleeves", could it be that her father went to something that could not be explained? Wang Xiangzhi followed the third girl, bent down and whispered, "Girl, don't listen to them, drive away Wang Tian and his family, and then drive them away, the only people who can use the girl in the mansion are slaves and maids and Shuxia." ”
When the Wang family married into the Jiang family, they brought in four maids, two companions and a servant. The four dowry maids are all married, and only Wang Xiangzhi is left to serve in the house; Accompanying Wang Ke's family out of the house to take care of the shop, the Wang family married Xianghe among the maids to him, and Jiang Muyan's maid Shuxia is the daughter of Wang Ke and Xianghe; The other room is Wang Tian's two sons, Wang Tian works as a housekeeper in the front yard, and his wife works in the west courtyard; The servant woman who came with her was Wang's nurse, who had returned home a few years ago to care for the elderly.
Seeing that the girl was silent, Wang Xiangzhi was anxious, "My girl, you can't be confused!" No matter how bad Wang Tian's family is, it's better than outsiders, isn't it? ”
Jiang Muyan bit her lip, "The nurse doesn't know ...... her"
Wang Xiangzhi was afraid that the Jiang family would take the opportunity to pinch the girl and give her ideas. "She's hairy, but there's nothing wrong with her. Anyway, their deed of sale is with the old lady, and it is up to her old man to decide what to do with it! As long as the girl doesn't let go, she can't be treated like anything in this courtyard! ”
Wang Xiangzhi was in a hurry, and her voice was raised. Jiang Liu, who was being held, saw her frowning beside her sister and making a bad idea, so she frowned, why did her mother find such an unsuitable nurse for her sister?
When she arrived at the hall of the North Courtyard, Mrs. Jiang asked the little sisters to sit beside her, and directly asked about the arrest of the rough mother-in-law in the West Courtyard, "Xiangling said that this mother-in-law is really unruly, and Liu'er was frightened, right?" ”
Jiang Liu nodded in fear, wasn't he "frightened", if he wasn't frightened, how could he send someone to Dicuitang to call the young lady.
Old Madam Jiang touched her little head lovingly for a while, then looked at the box held by the third girl, and asked quite coldly, "What's going on, what are you holding?" ”
Jiang Muyan didn't have a good face at her grandmother's place, she was used to it, and after getting up and saluting, she replied respectfully, "Back to grandmother, Wang Tian's house is not to catch mice, she overheard Yan'er talking to her sister in the morning, and knew that Yan'er put the money box left by her mother under her sister's bed, so she went in to rummage." ”
When Wang Xiangzhi heard this, she couldn't wait to go out and slap Wang Tian's daughter-in-law twice. She did such a useless thing, but she lost the girl's face! The girl too, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with yourself first, and then bring it to Mrs. Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang asked slowly, "How did she hear that?" ”
Jiang Muyan was also puzzled, "Yan'er doesn't know either." ”
"Lost something?" Old Madam Jiang asked again.
The eyes of the maids in the house fell on the box in the hands of the third girl, curious about what the second lady left behind for the two girls.
Jiang Muyan opened the box and took out a pair of bracelets and a money bag, "The bracelet left by my mother and the money to buy us candy are still there, but my sister was alert, so she didn't take it away." ”
Seeing the crystal clear white jade bracelet in Jiang Muyan's hand, the faces of the people in the room were not good-looking.
This pair of bracelets is often worn by the second lady when she is alive, after the second lady passed away, when the Wang family came to move the dowry, because she did not see this pair of Bai Yuzhuo, her sister-in-law Kong also sneered at Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Erye, and the meaning of the words was that they were shallow and greedy for their wife's dowry!
It turned out that this pair of bracelets had always been in Jiang Muyan's hands, why didn't she say it at that time!
Seeing that the faces of his grandmother, nurse and others were getting more and more ugly, although he didn't know what was wrong with the bracelet, Jiang Liu still decided to take the initiative. So, with a bitter little face, she said aggrievedly, "Grandmother-mother, she is bad, stealing-mother-giving-buying-sugar-money." ”
The sixth girl is even more confused than the third girl, this is in a hurry to ask Mrs. Jiang to punish Wang Tian's daughter-in-law! Wang Xiangzhi's face was even more ugly.
Old Madam Jiang's gaze really moved away from the jade bracelet, and she ordered angrily, "Bring that woman in!" ”
The knot was so tight that Wang Tian's daughter-in-law couldn't stand after being untied, and was dragged in by the two mothers-in-law. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a slurred speech, "Old lady spare her life, the slave really went into the house to catch mice......
"Palm."
Mrs. Jiang spit out two cold words, and the mother-in-law who came in with Wang Tian's daughter-in-law escorted her, and the other rolled up her sleeves and started fighting.
Soon, the bloodshot overflowing from the corner of Wang Tian's daughter-in-law's mouth, and the sound of slapping also shocked Jiang Liu's eardrum. This scene, which has only been seen on the screen, happened in front of my eyes, and the impact was not as big as the average two. Once again, Jiang Liu truly realized the difference between the environment she was in now and the original. There are masters and servants here, and the masters can beat and scold the slaves at will, even if they want their lives, the government will not pursue them.
Seeing Wang Tian's daughter-in-law being taught a hard lesson, Wang Xiangzhi's face turned white with fright, Jiang Muyan still strictly followed the rules, sat up straight, and just clasped the money box tightly with her fingers, and there was panic in her eyes.
Jiang Liu felt that her grandmother was killing chickens to show the monkey, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned her head and slowly plunged into her grandmother's arms, "Stay-son-afraid." ”
The fight was almost over, and Mrs. Jiang raised her hand and touched her little head, before she raised her hand to stop her open-mouthed mother-in-law and asked, "What are you going to do in the room of the sixth girl?" ”
Wang Tian's daughter-in-law lay on the ground with a swollen face and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but she refused to tell the truth.
To clean up such unclean hands and feet, of course Mrs. Jiang has a way, she instructed her henchmen around her, "Search." ”
"Yes." Mrs. Liu asked Wang Tian's daughter-in-law to be searched, and she was asked to go to her residence to search.
The old lady did this, just because she didn't plan to let her go, Wang Tian's daughter-in-law didn't dare to hide it anymore, and confessed inarticulately, "When the slave maid was cleaning the yard in the morning, she heard from the two girls that the money box was hidden under the bed, so she wanted to go in and find it while the six girls were sleeping. Old lady, the slave's mother is sick and urgently needs money to save her life, if this is not the case, the slave and the slave will not dare to stretch out this hand......"
Old Madam Jiang lowered her head and asked Jiang Liu, "Where did you talk about the money box in the morning?" ”
Jiang Liu replied, "Sister-sister-room-room-inside-bed-on." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Liu suddenly realized. The sister's bed was against the north wall instead of by the window, and the two of them whispered to the bed and talked, how could Wang Tian's daughter-in-law hear it in the yard. She must have overheard it while hiding in her sister's room!
Old Madam Jiang stared at Wang Tian's daughter-in-law deeply, so frightened that Wang Tian's daughter-in-law didn't dare to say anything more. She kept kowtowing to the third girl, hoping that she could save her life by remembering that she was the second lady's companion.
