Chapter 436: Knowing People
Moments later, Tonglu Academy.
Liang leaned on the golden silk pillow behind him and glanced at the sky outside the house, the sunset was extremely red, reflecting half of the sky, all fiery red.
Mrs. Qin waited beside the Liang family, took the tea cup handed by the maid, and handed it to the Liang family.
"Madam, this is the pantry dedicated to you. The steward of the pantry in the eldest wife's courtyard knew that his wife was used to drinking the Taiping Monkey Kui, so he took out some of the Taiping Monkey Kui that the eldest lady drank on weekdays and brewed it for his wife to taste. ”
The Liang family was not in a hurry to drink tea, but lowered his head and took a closer look at the Taiping Monkey Kui placed on the top of the high table, the people who served in the Yang family's house were quite good at doing it.
Knowing that she was used to drinking Taiping Monkey Kui and couldn't drink the tea next to her, she specially brewed Taiping Monkey Kui and sent it to her.
"Take some broken silver, go and reward the steward who waits in the pantry, and say that she has a heart, and I thank her for this tea. In the future, if there is anything that needs my help, you can come to the Garden to find me. ”
Liang said, and Mrs. Qin, who was standing beside her, hurriedly took out a purse and put it on the high table.
"Madam, the old slave originally wanted to reward the steward, but the steward didn't want the old slave's reward, and took a few ingots of silver out, saying that it was for filial piety to the wife."
"She said that she has been working here for a long time, and she has been in charge of the pantry, and she has not done anything else, and her daughter-in-law has given birth to a grandson, and she wants to return to her hometown."
"I talked to the eldest lady a few times, and the spring cicada girls around the eldest lady pushed her, and said that she couldn't do things."
Liang picked up the purse, shook it a few times, and replied.
"She is serving in the sister-in-law's courtyard, is it possible that she will let me take her away?"
"If she really misses her grandson and daughter-in-law in the countryside, she can take leave with her sister-in-law and go back for a few days."
Hearing Liang say this, Mrs. Qin's face showed a little embarrassment.
She has already received the mother-in-law's money, and she must do this, but now seeing Liang's attitude, I am afraid that Liang is unwilling to meddle in things, so what should I do with the money she accepted?
"Madam, the housekeeper's mother has been serving in the big lady's courtyard for a long time, and she is the old man in the big lady's house, and now the big lady is busy dealing with the big and small things in the house, where can she take such a small thing in her eyes."
"The housekeeper's mother wants me to come and beg my wife, so that she can reward her with a favor and send her back to her hometown to be raised."
Liang picked up the Taiping Monkey Kui, lifted the lid of the tea, and gently blew the floating color on the tea.
"You took the money from the housekeeper's mother? If you don't accept it, why do you keep talking to her?"
Mrs. Qin shuddered, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she told the Liang family in front of her about accepting the mother-in-law's money.
"Don't hide it from Mrs., the old slave did accept the money from the housekeeper's mother, and she stuffed it to the old slave three hundred taels, so that the old slave must do this."
"If the wife doesn't want to meddle in her affairs, then the old slave will call someone and send the three hundred taels of silver back."
As she spoke, Mrs. Qin handed the three hundred taels of silver tickets that the mother-in-law gave her to the Liang family in front of her.
"That's it, since you have accepted all the money, I will reward her with a grace and let her go back to her hometown to be raised. Just one point, these three hundred taels of silver tickets, put them here for me first! ”
Since the Liang family said so, Mrs. Qin could only hand over the silver to the Liang family.
"You go and invite the housekeeper's mother over, I'll explain a few words to her, and then go to Wanghaixuan and ask the Yang family to take the idea."
Liang glanced at Mrs. Qin, who was still standing beside her, and ordered.
Mrs. Qin got Liang's instructions, and immediately brought the mother of the housekeeper of the pantry over.
The housekeeper's mother gave a big gift to the Liang family according to the rules, and then stood by the side of Mrs. Qin and listened to the Liang family's dispatch.
"I heard Qin's mother say, you are an old man serving in Chengyuan, you have been serving in Chengyuan for a long time, and you want to return to your hometown to raise yourself."
Hearing what Liang said, that mother-in-law panicked when she landed.
"Second wife, what's the matter? The old slave is doing a good job in Chengyuan, where would he think of returning to his hometown to raise him? ”
The woman knelt on the ground and explained for a while, and from time to time she raised her head and looked at the Qin woman beside her.
"Oh? Didn't you? Mother Qin means that you gave her a silver ticket of three hundred taels and asked her to talk to me about it, planning to let me go and discuss with the eldest lady so that you can be released from the house. ”
"I heard that your daughter-in-law in the countryside gave birth to a grandson, and you are in a hurry to go back and take care of it, but is it true?"
As Liang spoke, Mrs. Qin, who was still standing aside and was about to clear up the relationship, also knelt down and asked for sin.
"Madam, it was the old slave who listened to the nonsense of this old pious woman and took her money, so he came to his wife and said those words."
"The old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty, please ask the wife to punish the old slave!"
Listening to Mrs. Qin's words, the mother in charge of the pantry who had been kneeling on the ground before couldn't sit still, and immediately grabbed and bit down with Mrs. Qin.
"Mother Qin, you accepted my money and promised to help me with my errands, but now you are backsliding and confessing this in front of the second wife, what do you want to do?"
"Where did I accept your money, it was you who forcibly stuffed it into my arms and forced me to speak for you and help you do things. Now you're so anxious that you've put all these things on me. ”
"I want to ask you, what the hell do you mean?"
Liang watched Mrs. Qin and the housekeeper's mother bite up, she stopped talking, and continued to watch the play.
After the two of them finished arguing, a maid suddenly walked in from outside the house, who was the personal maid who was waiting by Liang's side, who had been serving by Liang's side, and had been ordered by Liang's to go out and go to Wanghaixuan to listen to the news.
The maid glanced at Mrs. Qin and the housekeeper's mother, who were noisy in the house, walked directly to Liang's side, and whispered.
"Madam, the eldest lady quarreled with the eldest master again in Wanghaixuan, the eldest lady threatened to kill the eldest master, and the eldest lady also beat the eldest lady on the spot, and now the two are going to open the ancestral hall, preparing to give the elder Chang brother who was born in the outer room a family tree."
"What is the attitude of the eldest lady? Can you find out? Let a child born in the outer room be on the family tree, and the name is not right, and he will be angry when the old lady returns home. ”
Liang said, with a look of worry on his face.
"Madam, the key to the ancestral hall is in the hands of the eldest lord. Listening to the people around the eldest lady, the eldest man went to the fourth room and took the key to the ancestral hall in the hands of the fourth old lady in the fourth room, and now I am afraid that he is going to open the ancestral hall and go to the family tree. ”
The maid was served by the Liang family, and she didn't dare to deceive the Liang family, so she had to tell the truth.
"I went and invited the second master to come over, I'll go to Wanghaixuan, and take a look at the eldest lady! Remember to see the second master, you must say that the eldest master has the key to the ancestral hall in his hand, and is ready to open the ancestral hall and give the son born in the outer room a family tree. ”
