Not to mention, Mei Yongan has been married to the Qian family for many years, has only one daughter, and has not divorced his wife or taken a concubine, which is very rare.

It's a pity that I later heard that there was a flaw in my reputation and was kicked out of the county government by Zhang Pengju.

But she also regretted it, and thought about whether it was a misunderstanding, because looking at Mei Yongan himself, he was gentle and gentle, and he was really not a person with corrupt morals in the legend.

Now as soon as he heard that it was actually Mei Yongan's sister-in-law, Xia immediately felt that Mei Yongan's description was hateful.

What kind of bullshit talent, personable? It's a hypocrite, a villain who sacrifices his sister for glory!

She was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night, so she got up in the middle of the night and ran to the next yard to sleep with the concubine.

Xia became more and more annoyed, and after thinking about it for most of the night, he sent his henchman Hu out early in the morning.

Hu is Xia's marrying mother, and she is deeply trusted by Xia, and she helps manage the back house on weekdays, which is quite decent.

God knows, there is really no need for her wife to use such a method, as the grandfather and wife of the country, she can tolerate other concubines and concubines over the years, and naturally she doesn't mind tolerating one more, right?

Mama Jiang gritted her teeth and looked at the maids, wow, this is going to ruin the reputation of her wife.

When this concubine returned to the mansion, he was harsh by the lady in charge, what does the grandfather think? What do outsiders think?

Suddenly, his face sank, and he looked at the person in charge in front of him: "What this sister-in-law brought by the young grandmother is true?" ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't care about Mama Jiang and those stewards, she directly helped Mrs. Li and motioned to Mrs. Wu to lead the way.

Entering the main room, sure enough, although the furnishings are all brand new, the furnishings in the room can also be seen to be quite precious, perhaps because I know that An Huahao has won the relationship between people, the furnishings in this room are mostly elegant, and they don't look particularly luxurious.

As soon as I entered the house, sure enough, although it was warmer than outside, compared to the previous Gao family's yard, it could only be regarded as not cold.

When I touched the kang, it was really warm, and there were two charcoal basins in the middle of the room, and the charcoal fire inside was almost the same, and no one added charcoal.

The tea in the teapot on the table was good, but it was already warm.

Seeing that Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li didn't listen, Mama Jiang went straight into the house, and didn't care about the questioning, so she hurriedly followed in, and her face turned black as soon as she came in.

There was a trace of luck before, it was the mother-in-law brought by Mei Xiaotong who exaggerated it, but unexpectedly, people didn't exaggerate it at all.

"Grandma, these subordinates are not well served and neglect their masters, they are really bold. Please also punish the young grandmother! Mama Jiang is also single, so she just said.

Anyway, these people are now assigned to the courtyard of the eldest young master, how to deal with it, let Mei Xiaotong come, so as not to say that they are unfair.

Mei Xiaotong raised her eyebrows: "The rules of this country's mansion, what crime should you be guilty of neglecting your master like this?" What is the handling of the house? ”

Mama Jiang glanced at Mei Xiaotong, and was a little hesitant: "This."

It depends on the master's mind—"

"Mama's words are ridiculous, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, could it be that this huge Guogong Mansion has no rules? Is it all just based on the preference of being the master? Mei Xiaotong looked at Mama Jiang with a smile.

Mama Jiang's back was soaked all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said, "It's the old slave who didn't make it clear, and he made a mistake for a while." According to the rules of the Guogong Mansion, such a subordinate should hit the twenty boards and get out! ”

Mei Xiaotong only smiled and looked at Mama Jiang and stopped talking, the meaning was obvious.

Mama Jiang swallowed her saliva: "Grandma Da and Shao, are they all thrown out?" Then the eldest young master and you, isn't there no one to serve? ”

"Look at what Mama Jiang said, these people are kept, and they are only slack, and they don't see serving?" Mei Xiaotong chuckled.

Mama Jiang looked at Mei Xiaotong's expression, and knew that there was no place for this matter, but she felt a headache, so many people were thrown out at once, and she had to pick another group of people to summon her, for a while, where to find the right person?

After thinking about it, he said cheekily: "Grandma Da Shao, now that it's the New Year, it stands to reason that you shouldn't make such a big move, and this person has all been kicked out, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a suitable person to come over for a while." Someone else has to do the work of this yard, otherwise who will serve the masters? Why don't you leave a few of them, clean the yard, and do some rough work? ”

Mei Xiaotong stared at Mama Jiang for a long time before she said, "Since Mama has spoken, I will give Mama a face, so let's do it, a few mothers-in-law and girls over there will stay, and the rest of the people will be thrown out." I have a small temple here, and I can't afford to have such a big Buddha! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a few maids who were honestly kneeling a little farther behind, they were not as rich as the maids in front of them, they were just ordinary turquoise cloth skirts.

Mama Jiang turned her head and glanced at the five or six mothers-in-law and girls, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left a few, and thanked her again and again, and she didn't care about anything else, so she led the mother-in-law and maid who were driven out and went to see Gao.

If this matter is not solved today, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Grandpa Guo to explain.

Mama Jiang left, and the rest of the people hung their heads to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Mei Xiaotong didn't have the heart to talk to these people, so she just asked Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding to explain, and let them do things honestly.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding had the support of someone, and they had enough courage, so they asked clearly in a few words, where were the charcoal and firewood that they brought back, and where were the daily necessities of tea.

Because this yard is just done, the color is new, and the things are only delivered in the past two days, although there is a leader, but in the end the name is not right, the things are registered, and placed in the small warehouse and a few inconspicuous side rooms in the backyard.

Originally, the door was locked, and I had to go to the leader to get the key.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding had to go and tell Mei Xiaotong.

After hearing this, Mei Xiaotong got up and came out, saw an iron lock on the small warehouse, sneered, raised her foot and kicked it, "Bang—

—", and the door fell to the ground.

The people who were still in the courtyard who were left behind in the Guogong Mansion were all trembling, oops, I have a mother, where is this young grandmother, this is afraid that it is a tigress with infinite strength, right?

With such a thick door, even if the family members in the house have to be three or four men, it will take a long time to kick it open, right?

This, in case this kick is kicked on me, I will retreat and relent, and I dare not think about it anymore.

The warehouse was kicked open, and Mei Xiaotong saw several boxes and cages neatly placed in the warehouse, with various colored notes pasted on them, clothing, medicinal materials, tea and so on.

Mei Xiaotong ordered Mrs. Wu to take care of it, and walked towards the side house in the backyard.

She felt like a leisurely walk, and in the eyes of those people in the palace, it was simply murderous.

The one who was quick to turn his mind found a broken axe from nowhere, and finally cut the iron lock on the door of the side room where the charcoal and firewood were kept, revealing the firewood and charcoal piled up in the small hill.

Mei Xiaotong glanced at the mother-in-law with the axe, and instructed Gu Yu: "It's a discerning one, give her five hundred yuan." ”

Then after handing over all this to Mrs. Ding, he went back to the main house.

In the main house, Mrs. Li was sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking at the house, bringing Mei Xiaotong in, and hurriedly pulling her to the kang, the two sat together, with a quilt on their legs, and said: "See, there is no kindness in this house!" We're all waiting to see our jokes! ”

"Those aunts, one has more eyes than the other. And that lady, she looks gentle, but she can't say what kind of heart she is! Let's have this trouble today, presumably for a few days. Let's take advantage of these few days to arrange this yard. ”

"It's good to drive those people away, we don't need so many people to serve in the first place, and I don't know how many other people's eyes are among these people, and we don't need to bother with that god to distinguish, just drive them away. Those who are waiting for us are still relieved, and those who stay have to sweep the yard and watch the gate. ”

"Also, you have to mention to the lady in the evening, in this courtyard, get a small kitchen that their big family says, and say that the weather is cold, and it is estimated that it is cold when the wind and snow are sent to the food. We are in the countryside, don't have to be so troublesome, just get a stove house by ourselves and cook and eat by ourselves. ”

"In the front yard, just leave those two boys at the door, arrange the person, let the son-in-law see for himself, he probably has a charter in his heart, and we won't get involved in the previous things."

Mrs. Li didn't look at her and scolded her twice as soon as she entered the mansion today, but she has always understood very clearly in her heart, a pair of old eyes, although she didn't see through this Guogong Mansion, but she has a number of people in her heart.

I have already thought about this road in my heart, and I will discuss it with Mei Xiaotong at this moment.

Mei Xiaotong naturally has nothing to disagree with.

The two of them finished discussing, and Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding over there were originally neat people, but they didn't understand these wealthy families

Propriety.

Now that Mei Xiaotong is supported by the power of her kick, it is too late for the other people who stay, if they dare not cooperate, they are too late to catch up.

When I was ordered to go down, I couldn't wait for everyone to rush to work.

After a while, the kang began to heat up, and Mrs. Wu also came to add two shovels of red Luo charcoal, and the house was as warm as spring.

Especially on the table by the window, there is a pot of daffodils, and as soon as the room is warm, the fragrance of daffodils slowly fills the whole room, which makes people feel refreshed.

Hot tea and hot snacks were also served and placed on the kang table in front of Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was curious about the red charcoal, and stared at it for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, these big families are used to enjoying it, and this charcoal is different from what we have seen in the past." We used to live in the countryside, and in the cold winter, we all burned kang and firewood, and only then did we know that people in the city spent the winter, in addition to burning kang, there was also charcoal for heating. ”

"It's just that I see that the high-quality charcoal for takeaway has smoke, not to mention the ordinary charcoal, the smoke is big, and a good house can blacken you, I never thought that there is such a charcoal in the world that has no smoke at all, and now it can be regarded as a long experience."

On the side, Mrs. Wu hurriedly joked: "No, we all followed the old man, the lady and the old lady to have today's knowledge." I heard them say that in this country's mansion, those masters make a lavender cage in the house in winter, and they are disgusted with such red charcoal, and they need to get some incense burner and light incense to not feel unpleasant. I saw that there were several boxes in the chest in the storeroom that I didn't recognize, and they said they were for spice lavender. ”

"Old lady, why don't I go get some and smoke our house?"

Mei Xiaotong frowned, and before she could stop it, Mrs. Li refused first: "We don't need it!" Who knows what's in them? We don't know each other, besides, what kind of fragrance is this good clothes? I'm afraid that Kaoru will hurt my brain! If you really want to smoke the house, put that orange peel or something on it and roast it, it's better than any spice. ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she slapped her face: "I see if there is any fruit on Sister Ding's side." With that, he went out to find Mrs. Ding.

Here Mrs. Li said solemnly: "Girl, do you remember, what spices, rouge gouache, and clothes in this house, let's touch them less, you know?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's palace fights and TV series back then were not in vain, I don't remember anything else, but what kind of fetal incense, fetal rouge gouache, fetal clothes, and what kind of red musk skewers were fetal, but I still remember it vividly.

At the beginning, she also checked the information in this area, what musk miscarriage, leaving the dose to talk about toxicity, is it all hooliganism, okay?

How much can the content in the usual rouge gouache, as well as the content in the so-called spices, really cause a miscarriage?

It's just musk ketone, cholesterol, steroid hormones and other substances in musk, which are easy to cause physical discomfort when used or exposed by pregnant women.

Moreover, musk can cause central nervous system excitement, and it is not good for the physical and mental health of pregnant women during pregnancy, so it is recommended that pregnant women stay away from musk.

If you really want to smell the musk, you will have a miscarriage, and you can be sterilized after a few years of fetal incense, which is a joke.

Not to mention the fetal clothes, it is even more miraculous, what the silkworm eats is the mulberry leaves watered with the fetal medicine, and then the silk spit out naturally has the attributes of the fetal medicine, woven into brocade to make clothes, worn on the body without knowing the ghost, after a long time it will be naturally sterilized.

Mei Xiaotong scoffed even more, could this fetal pill be a highly toxic pesticide that can't be metabolized?

She wondered, how did Mrs. Li know this?

Mrs. Li saw her daughter looking at her with a puzzled expression, and thought that her daughter didn't understand, so she hurriedly explained: "Girl, don't underestimate the methods of this backhouse woman." I've heard that in the backyard of this big family, there are a lot of private things. Which backyard didn't have a few innocent children dead? Those women, in order to compete for favor, in order to stabilize their position, in order to frame others, what means can't they use? ”

"Your master has taught me, you want me to be careful, in this back house, you can't take it lightly, everything that is entered, worn closely, and touched, you must be careful!"

It turned out to be Mrs. Qi, no wonder!

Mei Xiaotong couldn't cry or laugh, but this is nothing, her five senses are sensitive, incense is too stimulating for her sense of smell, and it is naturally good not to smell it.

As for rouge gouache, she still needs to use someone else's? That's what you do, right?

There are also clothes and jewelry, she is now in the filial piety period, and she can't wear bright clothes, except for silver and white jade jewelry.

Seeing Mrs. Li's nervous appearance, Mei Xiaotong also smiled and nodded: "It's all according to what my mother said, let's put away those things and don't use them." ”

Mrs. Li still wanted to say something, but she heard a trembling announcement from her mother-in-law outside: "Go back to the eldest and youngest grandmother, and the lady will send someone to invite the eldest and young grandmother and the in-laws to go to the main courtyard for lunch." ”

Mei Xiaotong got up from the kang and went to help Mrs. Li: "Mother, let's go, there is still a Hongmen banquet." ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand: "I won't go, how to say this meal, it can be regarded as a family banquet in the Guogong Mansion, and it is not appropriate for my in-laws to be involved." I'm not hungry either, there is hot tea in this house, if I'm hungry, let Sister-in-law Ding give me a bowl of noodles to eat, it's more comfortable than eating a banquet! ”

"You tidy up your clothes and then go, the road is slippery, and you are careful under your feet. Also keep an eye on it so that Chongjin doesn't drink too much-"

Mei Xiaotong still needs to be persuaded again, and Mrs. Li is very resolute: "I've been tired for most of the day, finally I can rest comfortably, if I go to the front to eat, I have to pretend to be a kind old lady, isn't it uncomfortable?" You just let me lie on the kang for a while, with Sister-in-law Wu and Sister-in-law Ding, can I still be hungry? ”

Mei Xiaotong had no choice, so she had to tidy up her clothes, and explained that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding were waiting for her life, and then she took Gu Yu and followed the Gao family

The men who had been sent went to the main courtyard.

Song Hong was still in a good mood, the patriarch agreed happily, and the clan elders had no opinions, everything went well. Chongjin, the rabbit cub, although he still has nothing to say to his father, he can't see him before, but now he can sit in the same carriage, which is already a good progress for Song Hong.

He is also quite confident, and feels that in a few days, the eldest son's heart will be warmed up.

Lezizi took the cheap eldest son to the old duchess first.

When the old Duchess saw An Huahao, her eyes suddenly straightened, and she looked at An Huahao for a long time, her old eyes turned red, and she beckoned: "Child, you have suffered all these years!" ”

An Huahao looked at the red eyes of the old Duchess of the country, faintly suppressed excitement, he didn't know how to move, he only lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to occupy the front of the old Duchess of the country: "I've seen the old lady!" ”

"What's the old woman's name? It's time to call Grandmother! Song Hong frowned.

An Huahao was as kind as a stream, and the old lady in front of him looked kind to herself, without malice, so she shouted: "Chongjin has seen grandmother!" ”

The old Duchess grabbed An Huahao's hand and said tremblingly: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you!" Your dad and we can't stand you—"

Old Song Hong's face flushed, "Mother, save some face for your son." ”

The old Duchess smacked Song Hong: "Phew! What do you have to do with face when you do that by yourself? On the other hand, he took An Huahao again: "Chongjin, good boy, good boy!"
