Chapter Seventy-Eight: Finding Fault
"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will go to Lanruo Courtyard."
Looking at the confident appearance of the woman sitting on the seat, Song Jue looked at her unconsciously, it seems that this lady is indeed unusual, no wonder the general can be so attentive to her.
On the second day, breakfast was served, which was the time for the people in each courtyard to distribute the monthly salaries, and the account room asked each courtyard to send someone to collect it on the grounds of lack of manpower.
Under the persuasion of Xiao Tao, Lan Ruoyuan sent Jiang Zi to go, and Liu Zhixun on the side of Qiyue Pavilion did not let Hua Xiangrong and Yun Nishang go on this errand, but randomly ordered a maid named Xiao Yun to go.
"My lord, you also know that the one in our courtyard is now the time to take care of his body, and the maids in the courtyard are much harder than usual, on the other hand, Qiyue Pavilion, I think the maids will be more leisurely."
"In that case, shouldn't we deduct some wages to make up for our subordinates in Lan Ruoyuan?"
With Xu's instructions, Jiang Zi has a little more confidence to speak, even if she made her aunt unhappy because of what happened last time, she still believes in herself, as long as this matter is done well this time, she is worried that her aunt will not call her back.
The past few days of sprinkling and cleaning are tired, so that she has long been miserable, thinking that when she was a big girl, the subordinate in the courtyard was not carrying her, and on weekdays in the subordinate room, who didn't rush to serve her?
And now all this has been snatched away by Xiao Tao, although no one will come to step on her feet, but watching her former scenery be taken away by others, and she has become a little transparent, who can bear it?
"Miss Jiangzi, it's not unreasonable for you to say this, but which person in the house takes how many months, this is set by the big housekeeper, and I don't dare to tamper with it privately, if the general knows, let alone this errand, I don't know if I can save my life."
Song Jue looked at her helplessly, and with two sentences, he wanted them to carry this black cauldron for Lan Ruoyuan? Dream on.
"My lord, you have to know that the one in our courtyard has goods in his belly, and he may become the dignified master of this general's mansion one day."
It's really a slave who doesn't know how to lift, and he has obviously said good things, but he is swaying at the moment, if the general's mansion is replaced by a hostess in the future, with his prevarication today, he will never have a good life.
"It's not up to the general to have the final say on all this, if the purple girl really feels unfair, it is better to discuss it with the people of Qiyue Pavilion, well, the people sent by Qiyue Pavilion are here."
finally saw the person sent by Qiyue Pavilion, but Song Jue was dumbfounded, Madame, her personal maid, did not send over, but ordered a third-class maid to come over at random, and compared with the momentum of Lan Ruoyuan, the difference was too great.
Jiang Zi turned around and saw that it was an inconspicuous third-class maid, and her face immediately showed a disdainful expression, it was really shabby, she couldn't find anyone to use it, and sent a third-class maid over, at this time, she forgot that she was just a third-class maid.
"You're the people of the Moon Pavilion."
looked at the person who came arrogantly, after all, she had served as a big girl by the master's side, just the momentum on her body, Xiaoyun was directly compared, and she couldn't say a word in front of Jiang Zi.
"How? Can't speak? ”
Sure enough, she is a maid who can't get on the stage, and she can't speak, she only knows red faces.
"I'm from Qiyue Pavilion, what's wrong?"
Thinking of the smile on her face when Madame sent her, Xiaoyun only felt that she couldn't live up to Madame's trust, and she straightened her chest with courage.
She naturally knew that this person, who was just a third-class maid like herself, used to be the big maid in Lan Ruoyuan, so she still couldn't help but have some stage fright.
"The people of your Qiyue Pavilion are idle every day, and everyone in our Lanruo Courtyard is busy serving the pregnant master, so we are working harder, and the monthly salary in your courtyard should be deducted according to reason."
Jiang Zi said it as a matter of course.
"Why? Everyone is a subordinate who does things for the general, why should we deduct our monthly routine, if you are not satisfied, you go to the general and say go. ”
As soon as Xiao Yun heard her words, he immediately blushed with anger, how could there be such a shameless person who actually wanted to swallow their Qiyue Pavilion's monthly example.
"This kind of trivial matter is also used to annoy the general, do you really think that you Qiyue Pavilion can do whatever you want if you occupy a position? Our master of Lan Ruoyuan is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the General's Mansion. ”
After saying this, looking at the maid on the other side, she shrank for a moment, Jiang Zi was deeply satisfied, she knew that it was okay to be afraid, she had better be honest and leave nothing alone, and obediently bring back the monthly routine given to her, otherwise don't want it.
"You are deceiving people too much, if the general knows, he will never condone you, since the lady is the housewife, there is definitely no lack of truth in the courtyard, you do this, do you want to get your aunt's will, or do you want to step on the Qiyue Pavilion to please her?"
What if you have the general's flesh and blood, and you are not a concubine who can't even get a family tree, what's the use?
And people like the general. is categorically not going to do anything to spoil a concubine and kill his wife, no matter how arrogant the Xu family is, he must have a degree, otherwise the general will definitely not protect Lan Ruoyuan anymore for the sake of face.
"Shut up, it's just a third-class maid, and you dare to talk back to me."
Jiang Zi suddenly made a move, and before anyone present could react, Xiaoyun was slapped by her.
"You ......"
This kind of humiliation made the simple maid no longer hold back, and cried directly on the spot.
"Lord Song, our aunt is still waiting for me to go back and make soup for her, please give me the silver first."
Jiang Zi took the silver from Song Jue's hand, and took half of the Qiyue Pavilion that was placed on the side, before leaving satisfied.
"Miss Xiaoyun, do you want this silver Qiyue Pavilion or not? If you don't want it, Song will take it back. ”
Seeing that her cheeks were slightly swollen, she couldn't help but want to cry, but she didn't want to be embarrassed and endured it, Song Jue couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Although he could have paid another sum of money to make up for the monthly rules of Qiyue Pavilion, isn't that what he wanted? Why would he bother?
"Yes."
Nodding, what can Xiaoyun do? It's better to have a monthly case than nothing, this time it's all because of her, so that everyone has lost half of the monthly case for no reason, and she has to bring this bit of silver back first, and she can only make up for the lack of money herself.
Fortunately, she has saved a lot of silver in the house for so many years, although she can't finish this loophole, but it is no problem to borrow some from her good sisters.
