Early the next morning, after Daiyu got up, Jia Zhen came to pick up after breakfast, and went back to Rongguo Mansion.

  These days in the house, because of the participation in the housekeeper of the spring visit, the weather is very different from the past, and the errands everywhere are much more rigorous than the housekeepers of Xifeng. Every night, the two of them sat in a sedan chair, patrolled everywhere and came back to sleep again, and how much resentment was born among the mothers-in-law who were on duty at night, just because the stubborn work of eating and drinking at night was gone.

  On this day, the Marquis of Jinxiang Mansion added people, and the Lin family also received a post, and Lin Gui asked someone to send it to Jiafu. Daiyu's third son over there married Lin Rong of the Lin family on North Street, who was born from the Qiu family back then. After the Lin family on South Street and the Lin family on North Street made a fuss, she got involved in the middle.

  Daiyu didn't go, and the old lady was afraid that she would be suffocated, so she told her to go to the garden, "What are you doing guarding my old woman?" Your sister-in-law and your third sister are in the council hall in the garden, you go over there to play, I'm going to find a few people to play cards. ”

  As soon as Daiyu passed, Tanchun asked someone to serve her tea, and after taking a sip, Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law came over and said, "Yesterday, Aunt Zhao's brother Zhao Guoji died, and I went back to my wife, and my wife said that I would go back to my grandmother and girls." ”

  After speaking, Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law lowered her hand and bowed her head and stopped talking. Daiyu watched coldly, seeing that there were many daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law talking back and forth, they were all quietly watching, if the two of them made a good decision, they would have a fearful heart, if there was a slight disagreement, how many thoughts might arise in the future, so she sneered, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Li Kun, "I have lived in my uncle's house for many years, and today I can be regarded as having seen it!" ”

  Tanchun's mind was clear, and she knew that she had something to say, and asked, "What kind of insight have you gained?" Let's listen to it, let me see your high arguments too! ”

  Daiyu hooked her lips, only drank tea and didn't speak, the light cat next to her glanced at Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "My girl is also in charge of things in Beijing, grandma girls know that our Lin family is small, one is used for ten, and now the girl is in Beijing, and there are people coming and going on weekdays, never like this, the people who do things only reply, and they don't say a word about the rules and regulations, just waiting for the grandmothers and girls to go through the old account books 1"

  Seeing that the words were broken, Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law was inevitably resentful, but she had to be obedient on the face, who didn't know that the old lady's favorite thing now was this granddaughter, who was about to be on par with the phoenix at home, and was busy coming forward to stammer, "The girl's words are reasonable, blame me for my bad brain, and the old accounts in the past must be checked before I can reply." ”

  Qingxu has always looked down on the subordinates of the two mansions, but at this time, he was a little mean, and sneered, "Look at you, you should be the one who used to be the most powerful person in front of your wife and second grandmother, and you are the one who does things for the elderly, and now you still have to check the account book, it's really funny!" ”

  Daiyu glanced at Qingxu lightly, Qingxu hurriedly shrank behind her, Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law didn't look good on her face, smiled, and said to Tanchun, "Girl, now there are still cases, the mother who attacked people is dead, and the wife's reward is forty taels, but the left is the same, so I didn't check back and forth, besides, the reward is more and less, it all depends on the face of the master, who can fight for anything?" ”

  Tanchun stretched out his hand, "Since you don't remember, give me the account book, and I'll check it!" ”

  When she checked, they were all aunts, who were in the old lady's house, divided into home and outside, and the rewards at home were all twenty taels, and the two outside were all rewarded with forty taels. There were also two outsiders, one with a reward of one hundred taels and the other with a reward of sixty taels. There are reasons for these two strokes: one is the coffin of moving parents from another province, and the reward is sixty taels; One is to buy a burial site now, and reward twenty taels outside.

  Tanchun said, "Then reward twenty taels, leave this account book, let's take a look." ”

  Daiyu asked knowingly, "I heard that the reward was twenty taels, but when I came to Aunt Zhao, it was forty taels, which is not fair." ”

  Tanchun felt her kindness and handed her the account book, "Look at it, there are rules, and I can't do it." They are all twenty taels in the house, but the vegetables bought from outside are forty taels. ”

  Daiyu smiled, "Who doesn't know how many shoes Aunt Zhao made for me to wear, now that you are a housekeeper, I can't look at it, it's not rare that you are biased, and I don't ask you to do that righteous thing to kill relatives." ”

  After Wu Xindeng went, not long after that, Aunt Zhao came, and when she came in, she didn't see Daiyu, and she shouted, "Everyone in this room stepped on my head to pay it back." Girl, think about it, you should be angry for me. ”

  Daiyu knew that what should have happened was still going to happen, and she jumped up in shock for a while, seeing that Tanchun was caught off guard, she reached out to pull her, but Tanchun forced her over, "Who is this talking about, I don't understand." Who stepped on my aunt's head? Say it, I'm angry for my aunt. ”

  Aunt Zhao said while crying bitterly, "I have been boiling oil in this house for most of my life, and now I am not as good as attacking people." attacked the dead mother, and rewarded forty taels of silver, but now that your uncle is dead, it is your turn to be in charge, but only twenty taels have been rewarded. ”

  Li Kun got up to persuade, Tanchun was already so angry that his face turned white, "It turned out to be this." I said I didn't dare to break the law. As he spoke, he took the account book and flipped it to Aunt Zhao, "These are the old rules and regulations set by the ancestors, and everyone follows them, can't I ......change them?"

  Daiyu was already a little discouraged, and seeing that Li Kun was more and more persuasive, Tanchun became more and more angry, so she had to say loudly, "Third sister, you can't compare with the past now, even if you act reasonably, you must leave a step room to speak." My aunt has doubts, you can say it well, why do you have to climb out of your concubine? ”

  Li Mizhi Daiyu used to take care of Tanchun very much, but now the housekeeper of Tanchun is really quite methodical, but the girl's family is not too old, so she easily asked someone to give her a set, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Aunt Zhao, "Since you crawled out of your stomach, why don't you take care of everything?" She is now a housekeeper, and you are the first to come forward to embarrass her, how can you tell her not to be discouraged? ”

  Aunt Zhao is still unrelenting, "It was her uncle who died, not someone else, and I only came to ask for her now that she is in charge." I still count on her now that she is older, and she has promised a good family affair, which is valued by her wife, so that she is not her own silver, and she will pull the Zhao family a little! ”

  "Uncle?" Tanchun is like a charcoal, and this son has the heart to die, "Who is my uncle?" Since he is an uncle, why does Huan'er get up as soon as he goes out, and why does he follow Huan'er when he goes to school? Why don't you bring your uncle's money? Now, my wife calls me a housekeeper, and she was originally giving you a long face, but you just came here, like this, if my wife knows about it, and doesn't ask me to take care of it, then it's really shameless! As he spoke, he began to cry more and more.
