Chapter 22 Leverage
And Master Cen already likes Aunt Zhao very much, likes to stay in Aunt Zhao's house and be served by her, now Aunt Zhao's maiden family is much more noble than before, so he naturally treats Aunt Zhao more differently, and even the daughter born to Aunt Zhao has become a little more noble, and the degree of food and clothing has always been according to the rules of Cen Erniang and a few people.
Let's not mention these gossips and old things, but say that this Aunt Zhao doesn't even bother and ignore Mrs. Luo, the housewife, how can she put Gu Zheng's mother and daughter in her eyes?
Therefore, Gu Zheng felt that Aunt Zhao's sudden visit was very strange, and even felt that she couldn't have made a special trip to send charcoal to them. Gu Zheng has always disliked going around in circles, so after her mind turned, she took the initiative to ask: "I don't know if Aunt Zhao came to listen to Quanyuan, but what do you want to find my mother?" It was really unfortunate βββthat my mother went to Mrs. Tai's place, and my aunt was afraid that she would have to run away in vain. β
Aunt Zhao waved her hand with a smile when she heard the words and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't have anything to do with my aunt, I can't get used to some people being harsh on you, so I made a special trip to send you some good gold charcoal for emergency!" How can the charcoal be used in the house? That person's heart is really vicious, if this charcoal is used for a long time, it won't burn our cousin's eyes?! β
Aunt Zhao took Gu Zheng's hand as she spoke, pulled Gu Zheng to take a closer look, and praised Gu Zheng with a smile: "Look at your watery eyes, if the smoke is smoked, the old lady won't be distressed to death?" You kid is really sincere, you should have gone to the old lady early to talk about this, how can you always wronged yourself? β
This Aunt Zhao was obviously secretly reminding Gu Zheng to tell Mrs. Tai about Mrs. Luo's situation, but she pretended to be distressed and concerned about Gu Zheng on her face, and the good words of not wanting money jumped out of her mouth one after another: "But if you are thin-skinned and don't dare to talk to Mrs. Tai, it doesn't matter, I have the best gold charcoal from this Changxing Tea Mountain, and there is a Longjing before the rain that is several times better than this old tea, what do you lack Although let someone come to me, I will send you something as soon as I get it!" β
Aunt Zhao said with a disdainful look and put the cup of tea in her hand on the table, and said insinuatingly: "I'm not like the one who lives in the main house in our house, a good decent gentleman is not appropriate, and he likes to be a villain, and he chooses some soft people to bully, which is really eye-catching!" β
"Could it be that the girl born to her own child is a treasure, and everyone else is grass?! The few who were born to her own asked for something every time, and the other side of the warehouse didn't pick the best one to send it?! I'm afraid that the cousin girl burned these bursts of carbon here, the second girl and the others have never even seen it, let alone use these inferior things to bake the fire! β
This thing has been delivered, and everything that should be provoked has been said, Aunt Zhao will not stay in Tingquan Courtyard for long, and quickly got up to say goodbye and leave. But Gu Zheng was smiling and pretending to be innocent from beginning to end, and he didn't make any comments on Aunt Zhao's righteous and indignant words, and only personally sent her outside the courtyard when Aunt Zhao said goodbye......
Gu Zheng's appearance without a trace of anger made Aunt Zhao secretly annoyed, but she couldn't pick out all her words, and vigorously instigated Gu Zheng to sue in front of Mrs. Tai, which was likely to backfire and put her in too! Therefore, Aunt Zhao could only pretend to be kind before leaving, and reminded Gu Zheng a few more words, so that if she has any grievances, remember to go to Mrs. Tai to call the shots, and don't hide and tuck it stupidly to make the other party happy.
Aunt Zhao had just left, and the spoon, who had always been fast-talking, complained dissatisfiedly: "Girl, what Aunt Zhao said before, which sentence is not a strong sentence to ask you to go to Mrs. Tai to complain?" She wants to use you as a gunman and use you to block her wife! Don't be fooled! β
The straightforwardness of the spoon made Gu Zheng smile and said, "Who is this whose gun, who can say accurately?" β
Puzzled, Spoon scratched the back of his head and asked, "What, whose gun?" β
Gu Zheng didn't explain much, only put on a confident look, and gave Spoon a reassurance: "Sister Spoon, don't worry, we can't suffer a loss anyway." β
This Gu Zheng is now worried about listening to the harsh use of Quanyuan, Aunt Zhao took the initiative to send it to the door and bravely dedicated herself to Gu Zheng as a gunman, how could Gu Zheng live up to her good intentions?
Since Aunt Zhao is so enthusiastic, Gu Zheng decided to live up to her kindness, push the boat down the river to add to Mrs. Luo's blockage, and then use Aunt Zhao who was sent to the door to solve her own troublesβββ Gu Zheng decided to act with Mrs. Tai and see the opportunity to act, and wanted to let Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Luo compete with each other, and she and Gu Liniang would also have a fisherman to benefit!
After making up his mind, Gu Zheng saw that the courtyard was already sprinkled with golden sunlight, so he simply turned around in the small courtyard leisurely, basking in the sun while holding brass scissors to trim the flowers and plants......
The next morning, Gu Zheng followed Gu Liniang to ask Mrs. Tai for peace, and after entering Rongshou Hall, Gu Zheng unexpectedly found that Mrs. Luo was not present, but Aunt Zhao sat very diligently on the foot pedal in front of Luohan's bed, and beat Mrs. Tai's legs with a smile.
As soon as Aunt Zhao saw Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, she first greeted Gu Liniang warmly and generously, and then she glanced at Gu Zheng vigorously, signaling Gu Zheng to hurry up and seize this great opportunity and tell Mrs. Luo fiercely!
Gu Zheng would not live up to Aunt Zhao's painstaking arrangement, and immediately raised his little face and smiled sweetly at Aunt Zhao, and thanked: "Thank you Aunt Zhao for personally sending us gold carbon yesterday, the gold carbon produced in Changxing Tea Mountain is really worthy of its reputation and is very easy to use, and my aunt has a heart." β
Gu Zheng's words really attracted Mrs. Tai's attention, and she saw Mrs. Tai beckoning Gu Zheng to sit beside her, and asked, "What's the matter, Aunt Zhao went to Tingquan Courtyard yesterday?" β
As soon as Aunt Zhao saw Mrs. Tai taking the initiative to ask, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't wait to pinch Gu Zheng fiercely, so that she could tell her the bitterness and grievances of being deducted by Mrs. Luo with a handful of snot and tears, so that Mrs. Tai could punish Mrs. Luo fiercely after hearing it.
It's a pity that Gu Zheng didn't act according to her wishes, and didn't say a word about Mrs. Luo's in front of Mrs. Tai, she only picked out irrelevant things, pretending to be naΓ―ve and said: "Back to my grandmother, Aunt Zhao is very good, she was worried that the carbon in my mother's house and I was not enough, so she personally sent a large basket of gold carbon." β
Mrs. Tai shook her head helplessly when she heard this, and glanced at the innocent Gu Zheng with a smile, Gu Zheng turned her back to Aunt Zhao when she saw it, and the cunning Mrs. Chong blinked, and after blinking, she snuggled up to Mrs. Tai with a smile, except for the words of gratitude to Aunt Zhao and the words on the side, she didn't say a word.
When Mrs. Tai saw it, she knew that Gu Zheng was pretending to be stupid and cute again, Mrs. Tai had always doted on Gu Zheng very much, so she didn't expose Gu Zheng's careful thoughts, and only said lightly: "Aunt Zhao has a heart, Ah Luan and Wanwan are also the masters of our house, you should be careful." β
"Mrs. Tai taught you a lesson."
Aunt Zhao first responded in a low voice, and then couldn't help but glance up at Gu Zheng, seeing that Gu Zheng didn't mean to mention this matter at all, she couldn't help but secretly get anxiousβββ she finally thought of breaking Mrs. Luo away, if Gu Zheng didn't take advantage of Mrs. Luo's absence to sue, then when Mrs. Luo came back, this situation might not be able to be sued smoothly!
Aunt Zhao waited for a while, and saw that Gu Zheng only cared about picking up some interesting jokes and said to Mrs. Tai, and had no intention of complaining at all, her thoughts couldn't help but turn quicklyβββ she finally had the opportunity to play with Mrs. Luo openly, if she wasted this good opportunity in vain because Gu Zheng didn't speak, then she was really unwilling in her heart!
Aunt Zhao is a smart person, but she decided to seize the opportunity in a moment, and quickly opened her mouth to pick up the previous topic again: "Mrs., I feel sorry for my aunt and cousin, so as soon as the weather turned cold, I specially sent a basket of good gold carbon to Tingquan Courtyard, who knew that as soon as I arrived at Tingquan Courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was full of choking smoke, and then I asked carefully, only to know that the charcoal burned in the furnace of Tingquan Courtyard was actually the inferior charcoal!" β
"As soon as this coals are ignited, billowing smoke will come out, which will not only smoke tightly but also choke people uncomfortably, how can it be burned in people's houses?! If it really burns like this for many years, it would be strange if the eyes of my aunt and grandmother and Miss Cousin were not smoked! β
Aunt Zhao secretly glanced at Mrs. Tai as she spoke, and saw Mrs. Tai looking at her with slight eyebrows, and motioning her to say with her eyes, she became bold at the moment, and she had made a draft early in the morning, so the words that insinuated and accused Mrs. Luo became smoother and smoother the more she spoke: "I can't watch my aunt and cousin suffer such a crime!" Therefore, as soon as I entered the house, I ordered that the inferior charcoal be removed and replaced with the fine gold charcoal that I had sent......"
"I thought to myself that maybe the people in the warehouse didn't do a good job and sent the charcoal sent to the big kitchen to Tingquan Courtyard, and I thought that the carbon would be over, but I just took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and found that the tea was made of old tea, and it was all tea powder!"
The expression on Aunt Zhao's face was also very good as she spoke, and when she saw her say, she clenched her fists indignantly, and said with an uneven voice: "This carbon is given to the inferior and the tea is given to the old, isn't this a clear bully?!" β
"Since these two things happened to me together, then I couldn't watch my aunt and cousin being wronged, so I asked the maid of Tingquan Yuan to bring me the things sent from the treasury one by one......
