Chapter 16: Mama Li has no one in her sights
The next day, the sun was shining, and the red sun added a touch of color to the sunny day, and even the wind was not so bitterly cold.
Jiang Zuiyao gave Shao Heng a needle, and after lunch, Feng came.
Seeing her son's face getting better and better, she, a mother, was full of joy, hugged Shao Heng and sat on the soft couch, looked at the newly added furniture in the house, and said with a smile: "I heard that the master will stay in the house for a while, seeing that the sky is getting warmer day by day, are the things ready for spring?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao knew the deep meaning of Feng's words, and replied: "These things should be divided in the mansion when the day comes, right?" ”
Feng Shi nodded, and his tone changed slightly: "It stands to reason that this is the case, but your Eastern Courtyard has always been ruled by Mama Li. ”
Throughout the night, Jiang Zuiyao thought clearly from beginning to end that she would not be able to live the old days again.
The servant brought hot tea up, Feng Shi glanced at it, and said with disgust: "The tea here is not as good as my North Courtyard, and I smell musty, and I am not interested in drinking it in my mouth." ”
Feng Shi glanced at Linghui on the side, and didn't know what was going on today, so he opened his mouth provocatively: "Every time the New Year changes, Madame sends what she needs over as usual, but the eldest young lady is still shabby here, and I'm afraid that it will all go into Mama Li's pocket." ”
When Linghui heard this, her face became unhappy.
Feng pretended not to see it, and said: "According to the rules, you are the eldest young lady of the Shao family, and you have one hundred taels of monthly silver every month, can you receive it?" ”
It stands to reason that the young lady of the rich mansion next to her does not have so much moonsilver, but the Shao family has a lot of wealth, and one hundred taels can be described as a drizzle of small money, which is more than the moonsilver of the lady in the palace.
Jiang Zuiyao shook his head, and Feng immediately replied: "I heard that Mama Li's son just got married, bought five acres of fertile land and a big house, and invited a few people to serve, she is an old mother, and the monthly silver is only two or three taels, where is the money?" ”
Although Jiang Zuiyao didn't know what Feng meant by saying this today, she saw that Feng was fanning the flames, and she didn't ask any questions, and followed Feng's words with a plan: "Listening to what the second young lady said, it's such a reason. ”
Feng Shi saw that Jiang Zuiyao answered, and hurriedly said: "I'm doing this for your own good, think about it, Mama Li is alone in the East Courtyard, if it goes on like this for a long time, it will be difficult for you to straighten your waist and be a man in the Shao family, you always have to think about yourself." ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "You're right, it's just that Mama Li dares to do this, and there is also the eldest young master behind her back." ”
Feng's eyes rolled, and he said: "The eldest young master is afraid of his father, now that the master is here, if you are wronged, go to the master to ask for an explanation, you look at the master this time, not to mention that there are more people serving around you, and the food and clothing are all good, the master rarely asks about our backyard, if you know that your east courtyard is actually ruled by an old mother, it will not be allowed." ”
Of course, Jiang Zuiyao will not obey Feng's fanning of the flames, she also thought last night, if she wants to take back the control of the Eastern Courtyard from Mama Li's hands, there must always be a reason, it just so happens that Feng's said this today, and no matter what kind of heart she has, but in the end, she can't let Mama Li be alone.
As a result, Jiang Zuiyao pushed the boat down the river and said, "It's still your thoughtfulness, Linghui, go and call Mama Li." ”
Linghui seemed a little reluctant, but she went anyway. As soon as Linghui left, Jiang Zuiyao whispered a few whispers in Feng's ear, Feng nodded, and ordered Rushuang to go out.
It took a lot of effort to go this way, and when Mama Li arrived, her face was ugly, and it must have been Linghui who told her what Feng and Jiang Zuiyao had just said.
While Feng was here, Mama Li said in a proper manner: "Young lady, what are you looking for me?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't pay attention to the displeasure on Mama Li's face, and just asked, "I want to think about the account book of the East Courtyard." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mama Li was stunned, thinking that Jiang Zuiyao had not asked about the affairs of the East Courtyard for a year, why did she have to read the account book today?
Then, Mama Li subconsciously glanced at Feng's family, guessed that she must have instigated it, and said, "Young lady, have you forgotten what the young master said?" The eldest young master said that you are not the master of the East Courtyard, and your status is the same as that of a subordinate. ”
Feng sneered: "Heh, no matter how bad the young lady is, she is also the main room where the Shao family is married, even if the eldest young master says this, it is not in accordance with the rules for you to say so." ”
Mama Li, who was used to being domineering, replied directly: "Now that the little young master is being treated in our East Courtyard, the second young lady has a chance to step into the door of the East Courtyard, otherwise the eldest young master will never allow you to come, and you should take care of the affairs of the East Courtyard." ”
Feng Shi was happy when she heard this, but she was smart and smart, and she would not take the liberty of causing trouble, so she looked at Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Young lady, look, you, the subordinate of the East Courtyard, shouted one by one, I don't dare to provoke." ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't reprimand or get angry, and said to Mama Li with a kind face: "Mama Li, don't be careful, I don't want to do anything when I read the account book, I just have nothing to do." ”
Where can Jiang Zuiyao be so kind, the best is still to come!
Mama Li thought to herself, she said a lot of bad things about Jiang Zuiyao in front of the eldest young master last night, and she also saw the gloomy face of the eldest young master at that time, so she didn't take Jiang Zuiyao in her eyes, and said arrogantly: "Since the eldest young lady entered the door of this east courtyard, the eldest young master asked me to take over the east courtyard, and even specially instructed me that you don't have to be your master, so you still don't need to read this account book." ”
Rushuang had been out for a while, and it was almost time to calculate the time, so Jiang Zuiyao got up and walked in front of Mama Li, and said coldly: "Mama Li, don't you really think that with the eldest young master supporting you, I can't do anything about you?" ”
Mama Li looked at Jiang Zuiyao, a little surprised, she had also heard Linghui say in the past few days, Jiang Zuiyao seemed to have changed as a person, which was completely different from the previous appearance of being so weak that she was slaughtered, but she didn't pay attention to it, today I saw that Linghui didn't lie, if it was in the past, how dare Jiang Zuiyao talk to her like this.
At this point, Mama Li used the trick she used to use in the past: "Young lady, aren't you afraid that I will tell the young master what you said today?" ”
Mama Li thought to herself, this will definitely scare off Jiang Zuiyao, in the past, she was most afraid of the eldest young master, and when she heard the words eldest young master, she would be terrified.
However, Jiang Zuiyao was not afraid at all and said, "What else do you have besides the ability to complain?" You don't let me see the account books because you're afraid to let me know about your unspeakable black accounts, right? I will also do what you will do, and I am not without a long mouth, if I tell the eldest young master about your ulterior things, what will happen to the eldest young master? ”
Asking such a question, Mama Li instantly panicked.
She doesn't know Shao Ziqing's temper, if she knows about her, she will definitely pick her skin!
But Mama Li had already left her hands behind, thinking that the Jiang Zuiyao in front of her was just picked up by the Feng family, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
put away the panicked look, and said self-righteously: "I am doing the right thing, so naturally I am not afraid!" But the young lady can try, you see if the young master believes in you or me! ”
Oh, this Mama Li is really a master who doesn't cry when she doesn't see the Yellow River.
Good! Jiang Zuiyao will let this old woman see if she is a bully today!
