Chapter 17: Where to Leave
At this time, Chun returned to his side, including Mother Song, ordinary people could see that they were already holding seven servants and maids, and Uncle Song's father and son were in charge of running errands outside, and the treatment suddenly far exceeded that of the Zong family's daughter-in-law Sister Shuzhen.
When Song's mother was assigned a room in Changning by the Zong family, she was still a young girl who was not in her prime, and now she is about to become a grandmother, because whether it is Changning and his wife or Jicang and Li's, the main family has always treated her with kindness, she is deeply impressed, and she also intends to be sincere and sincere in this life, but she was forced to come back by the Zong family halfway, and suffer some hardship or second, what worries her the most is the two old masters of Li and Chungui, who only hate herself as a cheap servant and are powerless, and she has been sad over the years, especially when she heard that Li was sick and died, She had to cry two or three times a day, and now she was finally able to serve Chungui, she was glad to think of the Li family, knowing that she shouldn't mess with Chungui's mourning, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
It's still Mei jealousy, Ju shame two girls, easy to persuade the mother, to stop crying, naturally and Chungui a goodbye, sisters and Chungui are the same age, since childhood, when Jicang gave Chungui enlightenment, did not leave these two girls, when it comes to literacy and hyphenation, these two maids are stronger than the Shuzhen girl of the Zong family, even if they have done a lot of clumsy work over the years, the future is hopeless, it seems that they have only waited for the fate of a small family with enough age, but the optimism cultivated in the bones has not been completely worn away, In this way, there seems to be no end to the chatter.
As for the two maidservants given by Mrs. Gu, Chun Gui only asked one of them called Jiao Xing and the other called Jiao Lan, of course, he didn't let them wait closely, and he lit up the pretense of "dare not work" very easily, which prevented the two maids from approaching to a certain extent.
But Chun Gui looked at it coldly, and the one called Jiao Xing was used to "don't have to work", but Guerlain was obviously unwilling, and from time to time she would come and go, both soft and hard, always wanting to stretch her eyes and ears to her.
At this time, she didn't care about Guerlain, and she wasted her painstaking "labor".
Mei jealousy and Ju Xi did not patronize the old days, and after Guerlain found an excuse to come to see for the third time, they whispered to Chungui about the news they inquired about.
"Jiao Xing is a few years ago, the Zong family bought the maid from outside, Lao Ziniang is actually a tenant of the Zong family, in order to save some rations, she sold her daughter to slavery, although she was born pretty, her temperament has always been a little cold, she doesn't like to gossip with people, she was originally waiting next to the eldest girl of the Zong family, when the eldest girl went out of the cabinet, she was afraid of her appearance, and Xu also didn't let her marry because she couldn't control her temperament."
As soon as Mei Jealous finished talking about Jiao Xing's bottom line, Ju Xi talked about Guerlain: "She is a son of the family, Lao Tzu is the steward in Zhuangzi, the old lady is in charge of the kitchen, and there is a sister, just waiting in the old lady's room, relying on the family is still decent, and she has a bit of a posture, she usually likes to pick and choose, and commands the little girls, by the way, she also recognized Mama Liu's daughter-in-law as a godmother, and there were many rumors before that she would be the master's life sooner or later, and she would not be a slave or a servant." ”
The so-called master, that is, the aunt and concubine, Ju Xi very tactfully explained that Guerlain is not a safe master.
After hearing this, Chungui still didn't care, and only said a word: "I don't care about what they did in the past, let's see the future." ”
In her original family, from her grandfather's generation, there was no such thing as an aunt and concubine, when Gu Jicang was alive, he was bent on recruiting a son-in-law, and he would not tell Chungui about those wives and concubines competing for favor and intrigue, but Chungui was also born in the world, although his family was clean, it was inevitable that he had seen and heard of these inner house secrets, especially the Zong family, from Gu Changrong to Gu Huaying's generation, there was no one who did not accept concubines, so she knew very well what the old lady Gu had to do.
Jiao Xing and Guerlain, one is the eyes and ears, and the other will compete for favor in the future, Mrs. Gu is trying to use two beautiful maids to suppress her thorn in the side of the high marriage.
But it's too early to waste my heart now, Chun Gui doesn't even know what kind of character her future husband is, although Mrs. Shen has a lot of praise, don't say that she can't believe it, even if it's true, she has never said whether Zhao Dagongzi is single-minded or amorous, originally in this world, evaluating a man, this is not one of the standards.
Spring returns to the current situation, and there is no room for extravagant hope to be as lucky as her grandmother and mother, but she still has a bamboo forest in her chest - the Zong family immediately has a real big change, the old lady Gu herself is difficult to protect, where is there still room to support the two maids, if the second maid is a smart person, she should know how to choose, if she doesn't get the hang of it, is she still worried that she will be restrained by two stupid people?
She only told at this time: "Although Jiao Xing's temperament is cold, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to make trouble, you just don't care, as for Guerlain, it's just these few days, no matter how she provokes, you should be more patient, don't be strong, just tell me privately, I will be angry for you, and I won't hide it from you, don't look at me suddenly won the favor of Mrs. Shen, it seems that there is a good marriage, even I don't believe that there will be such luck suddenly, the Zhao family is the first auxiliary family, I am afraid that there are no fewer things to fight openly and secretly than in our clan, and I am afraid that there will be obstacles at first." , you follow me, you must be cautious, even if you see others giving me grievances, you must endure it, and you must not be strong. ”
At this time, the "invisible" maid came out, and she had already drifted into the room, originally standing aside with cold eyebrows and cold eyes, and when Mei and Ju were busy, she snorted softly: "You are not bad with these two maidservants, for fear that when they arrive at the Taishi Mansion, they will be punished for your indignation, and you will not be able to protect them if you are weak." ”
Spring return to Wan'er: "I never see them as handmaidens, only as sisters, if I can find a better home for them at this time, I don't even want them to go with me to the unpredictable future, said this, it is inevitable that the labor will come out, in the future when I really go to the Taishi Mansion, I have to take care of them for me, to say that their temperament, but not to be competitive, I am worried that they care about chaos, and besides, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will want to deal with me in the future, and find fault with them." ”
"In short, don't think of the Taishi Mansion too simply, that's right, don't look at what the first auxiliary family is, pay attention to the family style and integrity, how can you really put an end to private affairs, not to mention that Zhao Gong has passed away, you are afraid that you also listened to what your aunt said, the current head of the family Zhao Zhizhou, he is far inferior to Zhao Gong."
"What else should we pay special attention to in the personnel of the Taishi Mansion?" Chungui pretended to ask casually.
Qu Chu said: "I know where I am, and I will inquire for you when I go to Beiping in the future." ”
This seems to deliberately emphasize that she was not from the Taishi Mansion during her lifetime?
Chungui was secretly thinking about it, but she heard that the topic diverged and explained in detail a conversation between Gu Huaying and the Wu family earlier, she didn't add much emotion at first, but Chungui noticed a little shadow: "You sympathize with my sister-in-law?" ”
"She deserves my sympathy?" Qu Chu immediately denied it: "Although she married a non-human, she was harmed by the words of her parents' matchmaker, there are many people in the world who are more miserable than her, even if your brother is unlucky and deserves it, and even if your plans can be implemented one by one, so that your uncle and grandfather lose the position of patriarch, she is still the eldest granddaughter of the clan family, although life is not as good as before, she always has no worries about food and clothing." ”
After speaking, he still didn't seem to be angry, and snorted coldly: "The most unlucky, it's nothing more than being a widow, but she has a maiden home to go back to, and the law doesn't explicitly limit that she is not allowed to remarry. ”
Chungui watched the canal pass through the wall in anger, holding his forehead: What kind of anger does this innocent person have?
She has more and more doubts about the details of the canal, unable to determine whether the canal is the old servant of the Taishifu, and I don't know why she is still wandering in the world after her death, as for why the canal found herself, why she is willing to help, how many schemes, it is simply clueless, but she is more and more certain, the canal is not like an ordinary slave, all kinds of signs show that she can read and write, you need to know that in the world at this time, "women are not talented is virtuous" is infinitely distorted, and many rich and noble ladies are not even illiterate.
However, these things are not urgent, Chungui put most of her thoughts on perfecting her "inverted sect" plan, worked out all the rules and regulations, and thought back and forth a few times to make sure that there were no mistakes, so according to Mrs. Xing's instructions, through that dark line, without alarming the absolute premise of the sect family, spread the message, and asked his trusted manpower to cooperate with the implementation.
I have to talk about Gu Huaqu's biological father Gu Jiyu, who is famous for being lazy and lazy, marrying a wife Cheng, but he is very dirty to outsiders, but he is a submissive to his husband, and he is very pampered with his children, so this family is all industrious and idle, and he has never hated ghosts and ghosts in the Gu clan - it's really no wonder that Gu Huaqu has so many problems, just the so-called raising is not taught, and it is the fault of the father.
At that time, the Zong family proposed to ask the Li family to inherit the family business by the step-heir, and they saw Huaqu, saying that he was the eldest son of Gu Jiyu and the Cheng family, so Cheng's words of "unwillingness" when he sprinkled were not completely hypocritical, but after listening to Gu Changrong and his wife's pout, they believed that the eldest son could support the whole family, and they were immediately willing.
In fact, the Li family has always cared less about money, and the family was still wealthy at that time, so they didn't care about Huaqu's behavior of often helping their biological parents and mothers, and even thought that Huaqu was filial piety, so Gu Jiyu and his wife were rarely nourished during that period of time.
However, the good times didn't last long, as Gu Huaqu left home and the Li family also moved out of Guhuai Village, where else could they go to fight the autumn breeze? suddenly returned to the original shape, and even became more and more lazy because of self-reliance, and life was worse than before.
Therefore, when they heard that Gu Huabin was going to replace Huaqu with Huaqu, they didn't need to be picked up by others, where could they still sit?
But the method of sprinkling had no effect at all for the Zong family, and later Gu Jiyu didn't even bother to play tricks, so he only sent the Cheng family with his daughter, and the next day he found the old lady Gu to cry and cry, I heard that the Zong family didn't let them enter the door later, and Gu Jiyu just lay on the bed and cursed.
I never thought that on this day, Mrs. Xing sent someone to send some rice, grain, wine and meat, not to mention, but also invited the Cheng family to talk at home, you want to know that Gu Changxing has a room, saying that he is richer than the Zong family, and he usually doesn't care about the Jiyu family at all, and suddenly showed a smile on them and extended a helping hand, can Gu Jiyu be excited? Explained to the Cheng family in a tight voice, he must be more attentive, speak better, and strive for more care from the clan uncle, but he himself did not go out, put his feet on stilts, and commanded his son to burn the stove, and his daughter-in-law to cook the meat, and before the meat was cooked, he first brought a pot of wine to drink.
When Mrs. Xing saw Cheng's family, she had to teach her, but she also knew what kind of goods this family was, so she went through the motions and got back to business.
