Chapter 838 - Half the usage
Mama Fang knelt down with her skirt on her shoulder, kowtowed to Shen Qiong, and said.
"Master, the old slave really can't hold it back, the old slave is not for himself, only for his wife! Madame really did her best for the whole house, and she broke her heart, and her body was about to collapse! ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Shen Qiong's eyes were slightly dark, and he said.
"Enough, Mama Fang, even though you are an old man next to me, you can't say that. Master, the concubine is the main mother, in charge of the feed, and manages the food and drink of the upper and lower levels of the house, which is what the concubine should do. ”
What the Qin family said is called a righteous Ling Ran, and that is called a stubborn and unyielding.
Mama Fang answered the words and wiped her tears.
"Madam, today you are killing the old slave, the old slave, the old slave also wants to say, this year's cold winter, heavy snow has fallen for several days, the price of rice and grain outside has risen and risen, and the harvest on the Zhuangzi is not good, these account gentlemen are all aware, Mrs. will take out her own dowry to make up for this big family, but our lady is not born in a rich family, and the former Mrs. Bai can not be compared, this up and down a hundred and ten people, it is really a drop in the bucket."
"How so? Isn't my income, as well as the income from the Zhuangzi and the shop, enough to sustain the food and clothing of the house? ”
Shen Qiong frowned, she was actually a little dissatisfied in her heart, this kind of thing, whether it was the Bai family in the past or Shen Junru later, it was unprecedented, and now that the Qin family is in charge, it is stretched, isn't this slapping him Shen Qiong in the face?
A dignified Shangshu order, an official worships a high-ranking official, but he can't even support his family?
Mama Fang still didn't understand, so she wiped a handful of old tears, this one sings black face, the other sings white face, the old master and servant are used to it!
"Master, you are not at home, you don't know how to be obsessed with oil and salt, this is up to the clothes on your body, down to the degree of eating and drinking, what is not to spend silver? The second lady next door still came to cry from time to time, and our wife was also soft-hearted, thinking that they were all a family, and if they could help, they would help some, and the good things were all close to the courtyard of the master and the young master, and the lady could only grieve herself. ”
What kind of family, what kind of help, in this case, it is just to pave the way for the following to blackmail the rice and grain sent by Shen Junru Zhuangzi as an excuse!
As for Second Mrs. Shen, she came really diligently, and she cried and complained, just because she wanted to get some oil and water, but who is the Qin family? It is impossible for that stingy ghost to leak a little rice between his fingers, how could he let that Second Lady Shen take advantage of it in vain?
Going deeper, behind the Qin family is the queen, and the second lady Shen is relying on the concubine Tian who is now in the palace, after the queen lost power, Concubine De is growing stronger and stronger, except for the difference in title, she has to overshadow the queen's limelight, and she has the right to cooperate with the six palaces, and Concubine Tian is attached to Concubine De, this intricate relationship, layer by layer, the two of them are also people of two factions, and it is a good thing that they are not directly torn.
Mama Fang said this, so Shen Qiong couldn't ask the second lady for verification, right? Shen Qiong is the person who pays the most attention to this face!
"There is such a thing! but it makes it difficult for you. ”
"The concubine doesn't feel embarrassed, for the sake of the Shen family, everything is worth it."
Shen Qiong sighed, thinking, even if it was so difficult, the previous Bai family swallowed all this into his stomach, never complained to him, quietly made up for it, and took care of the house in an orderly manner, it was really difficult for her.
This person will love the old, even if the person in front of him is good, it is inevitable that he will go to the old person to make a comparison.
Just because, remembering this magical thing, it will strip away those unpleasant emotions, leaving only those beautiful and unforgettable things that have been.
The Qin family snuggled in Shen Qiong's arms, and made a look with Mama Fang, the foreshadowing was done, and it was time to sing the main play.
Sure enough, Mama Fang did not lose hope and said.
"Master, the old slave is stupid, but he also understands that the dowry of the lady in this house is not enough, this winter... I'm afraid I'm going to wronged the young lady and the young master, charcoal rice grain or something, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's not enough. ”
"How's that going to work? No matter how short you are, you can't lack children. ”
"Madam, you are too kind-hearted, you will be close to the eldest lady and the eldest young master, even Aunt Xiang is the best to send, I am afraid that the master will not be able to stand it in the past, you and Sister Xia will be wronged, especially Sister Xia, after the winter, not a decent dress has been made, the little hands are frozen, these days, Miss Amber is also a guest in the house, no matter what you say, we can't slack off Miss Amber."
In fact, the Qin family left amber for another purpose... Although Amber is a concubine, she is also a concubine of the meritorious Houfu, but unfortunately, the marriage between Shen Yu and Mingzhu has been decided, but there must be one in this side room. She deliberately left Amber in the mansion, which is such a calculation!
When the time comes, Shen Junru will also get married, in this mansion, aren't the two of them having the final say? With the temperament of the county lord of Mingzhu, what can he manage?
Among the maids waiting on the side, there was a little girl named Ying'er, who quietly remembered these words one by one in her heart.
Qin Shi saw that Shen Qiong's face was extremely bad, and the hand on the table was slightly tightened into a fist, and hurriedly said to the other party's grandmother.
"Enough is enough Mama Fang, don't say it again."
"Master, don't listen to this old slave's nonsense, Sister Xia is born to a concubine, how can you snub her? You..."
"Master, if you don't believe it, you go and take a look at Sister Xia, she hasn't added a few pieces of charcoal to her house until now, the quilts are all hard, but the good ones are close to the eldest lady and the eldest young master, you don't believe it, you go and see, if the old slave tells half a lie, the old slave will thunder and thunder in the sky, and he will not die!"
Mama Fang, Mama Fang, don't make such an oath on a rainy day, otherwise it will really thunder and thunder in the sky, and it won't kill you!
Shen Qiong snorted coldly, and when he stood up, he said.
"In the future, the use of those two courtyards will be halved, you are also stupid, the good ones are tightened to them, but you suffer yourself, why bother?"
Those two yards? refers to the courtyard of Shen Junru and Shen Yu, and at this time, there is no use of the Qiuhua Courtyard where Aunt Tianxiang is located.
It can be seen that now in Shen Qiong's heart, the position of that heavenly fragrance must be heavy!
Qin wanted to say something, but was gently interrupted by Shen Qiong.
"Okay, I know you have a good heart, they have some inheritance and Zhuangzi left by their mother, and they can't be missing in terms of eating and drinking, so you don't have to think about them."
"Master, the concubine is just afraid, if Sister Ru and Brother Yu know, they will resent the concubine."
