"Jingbei Hou Mansion is a place with rules, and there is no room for people with unclean hands and feet, what does the second lady think?" Huo Sijin smiled lightly at Zhou.

Looking at Huo Sijin's slightly raised lips and the smile on his face, Zhou only felt panicked on his face, and secretly hated in his heart, Huo Sijin had already prepared, and he actually had a second move......

Zhou Shi gathered his mind and said softly: "I see, the subordinates in Qingzhi Garden and Moyun Pavilion, the concubines have never asked, but I didn't expect such a mistake to occur, it was my negligence." ”

Then the conversation changed, and Zhou said: "Negligence is indeed mine, but the eldest young master should also inform me of the matter as soon as possible, I will not tolerate it, why keep them for so long, and write down these crimes one by one, it is really embarrassing for the eldest young master." ”

Zhou's voice is soft, and he speaks softly, which seems to be kind, but in fact, there is a needle hidden in it.

Huo Sijin instantly understood the meaning of Zhou's words: the person in charge of the family is Zhou, so Huo Sijin should also tell Zhou's evil things that these people have done, and let Zhou deal with it.

The person who holds the power of the steward of the Jingbei Hou Mansion is the Zhou family, and the Zhou family should decide whether to stay or stay of all the subordinates of the Jingbei Hou Mansion. And Huo Sijin sold people without authorization, and worked hard to record all the things committed by these people, obviously waiting to slap Zhou's face today and embarrass Zhou.

Who is Zhou? Jingbei Hou's top pet, Huo Sijin deliberately slapped Zhou's face, isn't it just to slap Jingbei Hou's face?

Sure enough, Jingbei Hou looked at Huo Sijin coldly, "Nonsense!" If you want to sell someone, it should also be done by the second lady, Changjin, didn't you deliberately embarrass the second lady? ”

His eyes swept in front of Zhou, Huo Sijin's face was as usual, and even if he was trained by the Marquis of Jingbei, he did not have any displeasure.

Zhou Shi saw Huo Sijin's expression in his eyes, and for some reason, the vigilance in her heart unconsciously increased a little. But seeing that Huo Sijin was calm and self-controlled, not in a hurry, I am afraid that she already had a countermeasure in her mind, and it was even very likely that she had already thought that Jingbei Hou would say this.

As it turned out, Zhou's conjecture was correct.

I only heard Huo Sijin say: "Father said this is really condescending, the second lady is in charge of the back house, and all the people in the Hou Mansion are personally selected by the second lady, but now there is such a mistake, if this matter is spread, everyone will think that the second lady is not good for the housekeeper." ”

"Changjin didn't make these things public, but also to save face for the second lady."

Immediately, Huo Sijin chuckled, "Looking at the second lady's face now, Changjin Fang knows that she has a lot of trouble, but it makes the second lady think about it more." Second lady, you are pregnant now, and you are at an advanced age, you should not think too much, it is not good for the fetus. ”

Saying this, Jingbei Hou had nothing to say, and Huo Sijin mentioned Zhou's advanced age and pregnancy, which made Jingbei Hou unable to say anything accusatory, and comforted Zhou's instead: "Qimei, since everyone has been sold, then don't think about it anymore, your pregnancy matters, it's good for these slaves to be driven out." ”

Before Zhou could speak, Huo Sijin took over first, "What my father said is, Second Madam, you are old and pregnant, you must be careful everywhere, but don't be sad for these little things, it's not worth it." ”

Huo Sijin's left sentence was old and pregnant, and another sentence was careful everywhere, which fell into Zhou's ears, and she couldn't wait to bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

The most taboo thing for women is age and children, Jingbei Hou can't hear it, but Zhou's teeth are itching, Huo Sijin is clearly alluding to her failure to give birth to a son for so many years.

Failing to give birth to a son is a big sore spot in Zhou's heart, and now it has been repeatedly emphasized by Huo Sijin in a few words, it is like cutting meat with a blunt knife, it doesn't look fatal, but in fact it hurts so much, it hurts, and it hasn't been pronounced yet.

Although Zhou's head was slightly lowered and her eyes were lowered, Huo Sijin couldn't see her face clearly, but when she looked down, she saw that her lips trembled a little, but she couldn't say a word.

Huo Sijin hooked the corners of his lips, then quickly gathered his true emotions, and said to Jingbei Hou: "Father, the second lady's face doesn't seem to be very good, I think I'm too tired." ”

"Yes." Huo Sijin nodded matter-of-factly, "The second lady wants to be in charge of the entire Jingbei Hou Mansion, and she has to serve her father and raise the second sister, it is really hard, in my opinion, it is better to ...... the power of the family."

As soon as he heard the words "the power of the family", Zhou's heart was shocked, and he immediately interrupted Huo Sijin's words, "Although I am pregnant, it is much better than the eldest lady who is sick in bed, and it is better to stay with me for the time being." ”

The power of the family must not fall into the hands of the Yang family.

Huo Sijin shook his head and smiled faintly, "Where does the second lady want to go, I didn't say that I want you to return the power of the family to my mother." ”

Yes, not to give, according to the rules, the power to be in charge of the family should be owned by the wife, even if the Zhou family bears the name of a flat wife, it is not as noble as the wife.

"Father, I want to say that the second lady is old and pregnant, and she must be well raised, she is in charge of the house alone, it is really hard, it is better to let the second sister come."

"Rou'er?" The Marquis of Jingbei hesitated for a moment, "Rou'er is still young, how can she be in charge of the entire Hou Mansion?" ”

Huo Sijin smiled, "Father, the second sister is not very old, but she is also fourteen, and she should get married in two years, and it is time for her to learn to be a housekeeper, otherwise how should she deal with herself when she marries her husband's family in the future?" ”

Seeing that Jingbei Hou hesitated, Huo Sijin then said: "Isn't my father still angry about the hunting grounds?" Father, this matter has passed, you have beaten and scolded, don't be angry anymore, the second sister is the young lady of the Huo family after all, the cousin of the third prince, do you say yes or not? ”

These words reminded the Marquis of Jingbei that Huo Zhirou would marry the third prince Chu Li as the concubine in the future, if she didn't know how to take care of the house, how could she sit firmly in the position of the concubine in the future.

Jingbei Hou nodded, "Okay, then let Rou'er learn to be a housekeeper." ”

Zhou was anxious, "Master, Rou'er is still young, let her be in charge of the entire Hou Mansion at once, it will inevitably be a little difficult......"

Before Zhou finished speaking, he was picked up by Huo Sijin, "What the second lady said is that Rou'er is my sister, and I, as an elder brother, should also help her, so I don't have to worry about the affairs of Qingzhiyuan and Moyun Pavilion." ”

"The matter of adding people to Qingzhi Garden and Moyun Pavilion will be arranged by myself. As for the deeds of sale of the other subordinates, I will ask Mama Xi to go to the second lady to get them in a while. ”

Hearing this, Zhou understood Huo Sijin's true intentions, she clearly wanted the deed of sale of the subordinates in Qingzhiyuan and Moyun Pavilion, and if the deed of sale was in her hands, it would be difficult for these subordinates to be bought.

Zhou gritted his teeth: What a Huo Changjin!
