Chapter 143: Useless Things
Mother Wu only found a few account books, I don't know if I went back like this to restore my life, I was struggling, I heard a mother-in-law next to her say: "The eldest lady should also go and have a look in the house, maybe the eldest lady put the seal in that room." ”
Mrs. Li, who was instructed by the Yang family, didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to check the eldest lady's yard, so she opened her mouth and said.
She thinks about it, her wife is a family member, she wants to behave well, and she can be a housekeeper in the future.
Mother Wu heard her talk about her heart, glanced at Mrs. Li appreciatively, and then said, "Then go and have a look." ”
Hulala, more than a dozen people rushed to Ruoxue's dormitory together.
Lian Xin Qiaolian and a few other maids stopped them, and only followed them to watch their movements, "You guys be careful, if you break the eldest lady's things, be careful of your skin." She shouted.
"Don't worry, girl, we know the severity."
Ruoxue's bedroom is very spacious, there is an eight-leaf rosewood beauty screen in the middle to make a partition, divided into the inside and outside, the outer room is a round table made of rosewood carving, next to four carved and embroidered piers of rosewood, a set of enamel painted tea sets on the table.
There are two paintings hanging on one wall, one is a painting of three or two branches of ink bamboo, and the other is a picture of a child picking lotus, both of which are the masterpieces of ancient immortals.
On the other wall, there is a multi-treasure pavilion more than one person high, on which the white jade plate, red coral, purple gold incense burner, jade carved landscape and other things are all priceless treasures.
In the inner room, there is a carved rosewood shelf bed with plain soft smoke, the lotus-colored futon on the bed is neatly folded, and there is a small couch on one side, on which the bedding is fragrant and pillowed.
Next to the bed is a long dressing table, on which there are diamond mirrors, white jade combs, jewelry boxes, rouge gouache perfume, etc.
There are also a few camphor cages on the side, and inside are the clothes that Ruoxue should wear in spring and autumn.
Mother Wu and the others only looked outside, and then entered the inner room, where she stared at the two servants and looked through the jewelry boxes on the table, and the five or six small drawers on the table.
didn't find the seals and other things inside, Mrs. Li was about to go through the cages, Lianxin called out to her and said, "The eldest lady's clothes are also something that your dirty hands can move?!" ”
Mrs. Li's outstretched hand was fixed there, and she turned her head to look at Mrs. Lu, who came with her, and then looked at Mother Wu.
Mother Wu was also stunned by Lianxin's shout, and said with a smile: "Then let me take a look." ”
As she spoke, she approached the box and opened the lid on it, rolled up her sleeves, reached in and touched the press, groped for a while, and straightened up, "This is the eldest lady's winter coat, take it outside to bask in the sun on a sunny day, and go to the moisture." She said.
Mother Wu didn't find what she wanted in a few cages, looking at Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu shaking her head, she was also a little annoyed, she didn't find anything like this, and it was not easy to explain to Mrs. Cao when she went back!
Mrs. Li opened her mouth again and said, "The third lady hasn't checked it yet, so it's better to go over and take a look." ”
Mother Wu also said: "Since you are here, let's go over and have a look, and talk back to the old lady in a while." ”
Watching the lively dantang at the door, when he heard that their house was going to be searched, he turned around and ran out, beckoning a few maids to stand guard at the door of the east wing and stop there.
After a while, Mother Wu took a group of servants and mothers-in-law out of the eldest lady's house and walked over here.
"Don't enter, there's nothing you're looking for in the third lady's house,......"
Dan stopped outside the door and stretched out his hand to stop them from entering.
"Girl, let's save some trouble! The eldest lady's house has been checked, why can't we check the third lady's house? ”
Mother Wu brought someone over, stretched out her hand to pull away the two little maids and was about to go inside.
How could a few little maids be the opponents of those mothers-in-law, they were pushed aside in three or two strokes.
Dan Tang still stood firmly at the door, stretching out his hand to block their way, "Third Miss doesn't have anything in the house you want, you are not allowed to enter......" she shouted.
Mother Wu looked at the girl in front of her, thinking that she had no face for herself in the eldest lady's room before, she raised her hand and slapped her, and said, "I don't know if I have to check." As he spoke, he pushed away the mandarin and walked inside.
In the hall of the Songhe Courtyard, Ruoxue told the beginning and end of the gambling contract, her tone was calm and arrogant, neither humble nor arrogant.
Ruoxue never thought that she had done anything wrong, and when they said the gambling contract, she was also a little annoyed that they took advantage of the fire, but when she agreed to gamble, she didn't make a decision out of anger.
She had thought about the consequences.
In that instant, she had already figured out what she was going to do.
I just can't say it!
She stood in the middle of the room, and everyone looked at her differently.
Ruohong didn't stay by her side at this time, but stood beside Tian's side.
She felt that she should give Ruoxue a close-up at this time and let her sing a one-man show, so as to highlight Ruoxue's protagonist aura even more.
Mei Jishan listened to Ruoxue's finished speaking, and then said: "Outside is saying that this year's silk will be harvested, and at the end of the year, silk will be woven, and the supply will exceed demand and the price will be reduced, why do you still bet with others that the price of silk will rise?" Isn't this giving away the Mei family! ”
He is also tempted by the property that can be won on the gambling contract, which is the family business that the Mei family cannot earn for several years or even more than ten years, but he is even more afraid of losing the current good life, if he loses, their Mei family may have to go back for decades and return to the life that can just maintain food and clothing.
Ruoxue said with a solemn face: "If I want to say that I won't lose, you must not believe it, and it will only be known at the end of the year." ”
Yang shouted: "By the end of the year? It's too late at the end of the year, so it's better to ask your second uncle to turn this matter around for you before the matter is decided, and you won't become an unfilial descendant of the Mei family. ”
As Yang spoke, he glanced at Tian and ridiculed her for not teaching a good thing and teaching a loser.
"Then ask the second uncle to talk to Huang Bingshan and the Duan family to see if they are willing to cancel the gambling contract." Ruoxue said.
The Yang family was choked half to death by Ruoxue's words, how could their master talk to others without the identity of the head of the family, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Ruoxue with her hand and said: "You hand over the position of head of the family, and your second uncle will go to wipe your buttocks." ”
This is so ugly that Ruoxue couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and stubbornly didn't look at anyone.
Mother Wu walked in, followed by the two mothers-in-law beside Yang, holding a few account books and a few drawings in her hands, she walked up to Mrs. Cao and said: "This is the account book found in the eldest lady's room, and a few drawings found in the third lady's room, I don't know what is painted on it." Please check it out with the old lady. ”
Mrs. Cao looked at the account book, and threw her backhand into Mother Wu's arms, "Useless things,......
