Chapter 46: Hair and Fall
The news that Xie Yunjin had disposed of Fang Qian in Minghe Courtyard was immediately passed through the eyes and ears of Old Madam Xie who had placed her in Minghe Courtyard and handed it to Old Madam Xie.
At this hour, the open hall had just dispersed.
Mrs. Xie prepared to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures and purify her heart.
"Old lady, it is said that the girl is to find an errand for Zhou Nanniang's eldest son to learn skills by the shopkeeper's side in the silk village in the city, so she called Fang Qian, the daughter-in-law of Wang Jinshan's family, to go over, and the daughter-in-law is the niece of Mama Fang's family."
"Originally, the girl you wanted to put in the eldest son's house looked good, but her mind was not right, and she was dressed up all day long, and then she was sent out."
Yuan Niangzi took a handful of sandalwood for worship for Mrs. Xie, lit it with a fire fold, and personally handed it to Mrs. Xie.
"Since Jin Niang wants to fall, let her fall! After all, Zhou Niangniang is Jin Niang's nurse, and Zhou Niang's son is also Jin Niang's nurse brother. ”
"Jin Niang is not a big deal for her brother to get an errand in the silk village in the city."
Old Madam Xie said, glanced back at Yuan Niangzi behind her, and was so frightened that Yuan Niangzi immediately lowered her head.
"It's the daughter-in-law of Wang Jinshan's family who has no eyesight to see, so I will call Mama Fang over and lead Wang Jinshan's daughter-in-law out of the house! and the Qin mother-in-law, too! ”
After Mrs. Xie inserted the sandalwood in her hand into the incense burner, she clasped her hands together and recited a few more words of the Buddha's name.
Yuan Niangzi got Mrs. Xie's instructions, and then went out of the small Buddha hall and went to find Mama Fang.
In the main hall of the Minghe Courtyard, Xie Yunjin was sitting on the soft couch in the room, and a few waiting maids were waiting by Xie Yunjin's side, ready to come and see the excitement.
"Girl, Wang Jinshan's family is here."
Rue Xiang lowered her head and whispered to Xie Yunjin.
Xie Yunjin raised his head and saw Wang Jinshan's house, surrounded by several young maids, and entered the main hall.
Wang Jinshan's family entered the house today, and saw that it was Mrs. Wen who was waiting next to Mrs. Wen who came to invite, thinking that Mrs. was looking for him to have something.
didn't think about it, but after entering the main hall, I found that it was the third girl who invited her over today.
A milky little girl.
What are you doing when you invite her over for no reason?
Because Wang Jinshan's family is an elder in front of Xie Yunjin, when he saw Xie Yunjin, he couldn't do anything polite, and sat down on the Taishi chair on the side straightforwardly.
Glancing at Fang Qian, who was kneeling in front of Xie Yunjin, Wang Jinshan's family raised his head, looked at Xie Yunjin who was sitting on the soft couch, and said with a smile.
"It's so dignified, I don't know what the girl did when she punished her little daughter-in-law? Could it be that Fang did something wrong and made the girl angry?"
Wang Jinshan said, stood up again, walked to Fang Qian's side, and prepared to pick Fang Qian up from the ground.
"Mother Qin, I respect you as an elder in the house, if it weren't for the last resort today, I wouldn't have rashly invited Mother Qin over. I found Fang Qian to come over today, but I just came to her to discuss, and inserted my nursing brother, Zhou Yuan, into the silk village in the city, followed by the shopkeeper, and worked as an apprentice for a few years to learn some skills that can make a living. ”
"But I invited Fang Qian over, but Fang Qian said that there are no idlers in the silk village, and that the silk village has always been managed by the girl with a colorful ring, and it is inconvenient for her to interfere."
Xie Yunjin said word by word, and it all fell into the ears of Wang Jinshan's family.
"I didn't have a way to invite your old man to come over and see what you mean by always being old?"
Xie Yunjin said that, Wang Jinshan's family was still full of smiles when he came in before.
Now, the smile gradually dissipated, and his eyes stared at Fang Qian, who was kneeling in front of Xie Yunjin.
I don't know whether to live or die!
It's really nothing to look for, what did you do to provoke the third girl?
Don't you know that the most painful thing in the hearts of the lady and the old lady is the three girls?
Wang Jinshan's family secretly scolded Fang Qian in his heart.
Then he pulled a smile and came out, ready to compensate Xie Yunjin.
"Girl, my little daughter-in-law has always been not involved in the affairs of the silk village, the silk village is all managed by my eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou Yuan is the girl's nursing brother, how dare we slack off?"
"It's just that in the silk village, I can't learn any skills, if the girl's nursing brother is placed in the silk village, wouldn't it be a bend? Why don't you discuss with the old lady and the old lady before making a decision?"
Wang Jinshanjia was talking while carefully looking at Xie Yunjin's face.
I'm afraid that I will say the wrong sentence and make the girl angry at that time.
Listening to the meaning of Wang Jinshan's words, are you unwilling to help her with this little favor?
That being the case, why does Xie Yunjin need to save half of their face?
Turning his head, Xie Yunjin instructed Ruxiang who was waiting behind him.
"Ruexiang, I went and invited Grandma Fang from my grandmother's side to come over."
As soon as Xie Yunjin's words fell, he heard the voice of the maid outside the courtyard.
"Girl, the old lady's courtyard and Grandma Fang have arrived, and are now waiting outside the house."
Hearing this voice, Wang Jinshan's heart sank, his legs were weak, if it wasn't for the maid around him, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground soon.
Wang Jinshan's family was about to open his mouth to explain a few words to Xie Yunjin, but when he saw Xie Yunjin, he called the maid and invited the Yuan Niangzi and Fang Mama who were waiting outside the house to come in.
"Girl, the old slave got the old lady's order and came over for a walk."
At this time, it was the Yuan Niangzi who was standing in front of Mama Fang.
Compared with Mama Fang, many important things for Mrs. Xie were handed over to Mrs. Yuan alone.
The fundamental reason is that Yuan Niangzi is more neat than Mama Fang, and she will never drag the mud and water.
Therefore, Mrs. Xie also attaches more importance to Yuan Niangzi.
According to the rules, Yuan Niangzi and Mama Fang first bowed to Xie Yunjin before they dared to sit on the embroidery stool brought by the maid.
"What the girl means, the old lady already knows, the old lady has already instructed the shopkeeper of the silk village, and when the girl sends Zhou Yuan of Zhou's mother's family over, the shopkeeper of the silk village will know what to do."
Yuan Niangzi hooked the corners of her lips, smiled at Xie Yunjin in front of her, and said.
Xie Yunjin naturally knew why Yuan Niangzi came here today.
Now that her grandmother has promised her, she can send Zhou Yuan to the shopkeeper of the silk village to learn some skills, and this is enough.
"Grandmother's kindness, I also asked Yuan Niangzi to replace me and thank my grandmother! Since my grandmother has promised me that I can send Zhou Yuan to the silk village to learn some skills, then Fang Qian and Mrs. Qin, I won't do much to deal with, and everything will be handed over to Mrs. Yuan. ”
Xie Yunjin finished speaking, glanced at the smiling Yuan Niangzi, and then glanced at the Qin Pozi who was kneeling on the ground and sitting aside, and then walked out of the main hall of the Minghe Courtyard.
When Xie Yunjin returned to Qingluo Courtyard, news had already come out of Minghe Courtyard.
said that Fang Qian was taken back by Mama Fang, and Mama Fang reprimanded her fiercely in front of other maids and mothers-in-law, and Mrs. Xie fined Fang Qian three months of monthly silver.
And Mrs. Qin, who had no one in her eyes, ignored the girl, and was fined half a year's monthly silver by Mrs. Xie, and even Wang Jinshan's position as the manager of the silk village also asked Mrs. Xie to find someone to replace her.
Wang Jinshan and Mrs. Qin were sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside by Mrs. Xie.
"Girl, the old lady is really relieved to do this! When I was in the main hall of Minghe Courtyard, as soon as I saw the rampant energy of Fang Qian and Qin Pozi, I knew that people like them couldn't stay. Even if the old lady doesn't clean them up, the lady will send them away. ”
Yuelan poured a tea cup for Xie Yunjin, and brought out a plate of small shortbread and rested it on the high table next to Xie Yunjin.
Half an hour later, Zhou Nanniang learned what Xie Yunjin had done for their family, and hurriedly came over to thank her.
"Girl, why do you want to offend that villain who looks down on people like us for the sake of people like us? Girl, it's not worth it, it's not worth it. ”
As soon as Zhou Nanniang's words fell, she wiped her tears, and in a blink of an eye, she cried into tears.
Xie Yunjin hurriedly asked Yuelan to bring a handkerchief, wiped Zhou Nanniang's tears, and let Ruxiang hold Zhou Nanniang and sit on a small stool beside her.
"Nurse, between you and me, there is nothing worth it or not. I still want the nurse to always be by my side to serve me, if your mother and son are separated, why don't you worry about it in your heart? And I got a good job for my brother, so I don't have to worry about the family. ”
Hearing Xie Yunjin say this, Zhou Nuniang was very moved.
The girl can take care of her like this, and it is not in vain that the girl was brought up by her own hands.
The girl is good, she must be doubly good to the girl, serve the good girl well, and repay the girl for her kindness.
"As long as the girl doesn't dislike the old slave for being old and always clumsy in doing things, the old slave is willing to be by the girl's side and serve the girl all her life."
Zhou Nanniang's crying gradually stopped, and she still told Xie Yunjin about the scruples in her heart.
The acres of fertile land in the countryside are always handed down from the ancestors.
If the good land has been occupied by the uncle's family.
After a hundred years of their husband and wife, when they go underground, how can they face their ancestors and ancestors?
"Girl, a few acres of fertile land in the countryside grange, the old slave still wants to come back from the hands of the uncle's family, those acres of fertile land, after all, are handed down by the ancestors, and when it comes to the child's father's generation, they can't be lost, and they can't be occupied like this. I also asked the girl to help the old slave, help the old slave think of ideas, and bring those few acres of fertile land back from the uncle's house. ”
Zhou Niangniang's men are all brothers.
I heard that the brother of Zhou Niangniang's man is a well-known landowner in the countryside.
However, he went to the landlord's house and married the daughter of the landlord's family, and after the landlord was gone, he became a big landlord.
It is said that the brother of Zhou Niangniang's man has hundreds of acres of good paddy fields and hundreds of acres of orchards under his hands, and the harvest in these fields, combined, can be 10,000 taels in a year.
It's just why did he come to occupy the land of Zhou Niangniang's man's family?
Could it be that there is something hidden in this?
"Nurse, tell me about it, why did your man's brother come to occupy your man's property?"
Xie Yunjin asked Zhou Nuniang.
Zhou Nanniang was a little hesitant on her face.
But thinking that the girl had done so many things for their family, Zhou Nuniang still decided to tell the girl the truth of the matter.
Zhou Nuniang thought about it, but said.
"Girl, in fact, the acres of fertile land in the hands of my man were told to my man's brother when my father-in-law was there, who expected that after my father-in-law was gone, the family turned out the will, and it turned out that the acres of fertile land left by my father-in-law were finally given to my man."
"My uncle's family got nothing. After my father-in-law died, my man also separated from my uncle, and my uncle joined another family and has always held a grudge against my man, saying that my man had bad intentions and killed my father-in-law, and came up with this fake will. ”
Listening to what Zhou Nuniang said, Xie Yunjin finally understood why Zhou Nuniang's man's uncle had always wanted to take away those few acres of fertile land.
Presumably, in the heart of Uncle Zhou Nanniang, those acres of fertile land were promised to him by the old man.
But nowadays, things are not people.
Zhou Nanniang's father-in-law has been gone for so many years, even if they want to ask about what happened back then, there is no way now.
Since the old man's will said that those few acres of fertile land were given to Zhou Nanniang's man, then Zhou Nanniang's uncle's family had no right to take it away.
Now that he has forcibly occupied those few acres of fertile land, what is the difference between him and bandits?
If you really can't do it, you can report to the official.
It just so happens that they are Xie family, they are official dependents, and they are not afraid of reporting to the officials.
