Chapter 641: It's not easy
Old Madam Zhai was originally impatient to say something, but when she heard Jiang Baoqing's words, her face froze.
Second Mrs. Wen has been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Mrs. Zhai for so long, so she naturally understands what Mrs. Zhai is thinking at this time, and secretly said in her heart that it is not good, her mother-in-law has always been a mother-in-law who has no ideas, commonly known as soft ears, this is Jiang Baoqing's words, and the suspicion brought to her is brought to her!
Second Mrs. Wen scolded Jiang Baoqing thousands of times in her heart, but she looked hurt on her face: "Baoqing, why do you think of me like this?" At that time, it was the steward in your yard who didn't have time to receive that share, and the old lady's yard was in urgent need, so it was natural to come to the old lady first...... This is also a filial piety for us to be juniors, why, aren't you willing to give it to the old lady? ”
Jiang Baoqing smiled and said slowly: "If the second lady has to say this, then count it like this." ”
But it looks like it's gone.
Second Mrs. Wen was suspicious by nature, but when she saw Jiang Baoqing like this, she was more careful, for fear that Jiang Baoqing would have some tricks waiting for her behind.
However, it was not Jiang Baoqing who spoke, but Mrs. Shangda.
"Second brother and sister, it's not that I'm the sister-in-law who is talking about you by my identity," Mrs. Shang frowned slightly, and her voice was a little light, "Ice in summer is a big deal, and it should be stored enough in winter, how did there be such a big mistake, and almost made my mother lose the ice!" ”
When she said this, Second Lady Wen's face felt as if she had been slapped in the face.
She clenched her teeth, holding back the smell of blood in her mouth, but she wanted to squeeze out a smile on her face, as if Shang was joking: "Sister-in-law is blaming me for this......"
Mrs. Shang said lightly: "At present, Mrs. Hou of Dingguo's Mansion is you, and you are also the mother of the house, I am just a widowed Buddha worshipper, where can I blame you." It's just a reminder to you, don't make this kind of mistake in the future, otherwise, when others hear about it, they don't know it, and they think that you are taking advantage of your mother's momentum to bully my daughter-in-law who just married in. ”
Having said this, Old Madam Zhai's face was already very ugly.
Jiang Baoqing lowered his head slightly, hiding the smile in his eyes.
There are some things that she, as a junior, whether it is reasonable or not, is wrong to say it.
It would be more appropriate for someone of Mrs. Shang's age to say it.
The smile on Second Lady Wen's face became more and more ugly: "...... Where is the sister-in-law, I also have good intentions, I want my mother to feel the filial piety of my daughter-in-law, so it seems that I have done too much, which has made my daughter-in-law dissatisfied. She didn't use the ice cubes I gave her, but went out to buy them...... It's not that I feel sorry for those few silvers, it's just that I'm worried, and I don't know how the outside will spread our Dingguo Marquis Mansion. ”
Mrs. Wen said euphemistically, but she turned defense into offense, simply and neatly, and said, "I don't know how we will spread our Dingguo Marquis Mansion outside", which suddenly led the contradiction of the matter to Jiang Baoqing's head.
Hearing this, Old Madam Zhai was excited, remembering her original intention of calling Jiang Baoqing, and immediately became angry again, and slapped the armrest of the chair heavily: "Shang's, you don't have to speak for that Jiang anymore!" She did such a thing, just not to take the face of our Dingguo Marquis Mansion to heart! ”
Mrs. Shang looked at Jiang Baoqing quietly: "Baoqing, what have you done?" ”
Jiang Baoqing's voice was soft: "Mother, I didn't do anything, I just went to the ice cellar to buy some ice." ”
Before Mrs. Shang could speak, Mrs. Tang San had already taken it quickly: "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, mother, listen to this, is this like a word?" The young grandmother of the Hou Mansion, who had just married in, actually wanted to go out to the ice cellar to buy ice to use. Those who know will say a few words about what you did inappropriately, but if you don't know, you still think that our Hou Mansion has mistreated this young grandmother! Mrs. Tang San turned her head to look at Mrs. Shang, knocked her mouth up and down, and said quickly and urgently, "Sister-in-law, there are some things that are not easy to say second sister-in-law, I have always been outspoken, you all know, I don't have so many scruples to say it directly...... At present, the second sister-in-law is in charge of the Hou Mansion, but for so many years, in terms of food and clothing, where does the second sister-in-law owe a big house? The second sister-in-law is not easy for her, after all, the situation in our family is a bit of a turmoil, and the rumors outside are boiling back, the second sister-in-law is for the reputation of the whole family, is it easy? ”
Speaking of emotion, Mrs. Tang San took a handkerchief and dipped the crystal in the corner of her eyes, and choked up: "But Baoqing went out to buy ice this afternoon, so what do outsiders think of the second sister-in-law, and what do they think of our Dingguo Mansion?" ”
"Okay, don't talk about it," Second Lady Wen interrupted Mrs. Tang San's words just right, she sighed lowly, "So far, there is no way to do it, I can only think about how to remedy it......"
Mrs. Tang San looked like she hated iron but not steel: "Second sister-in-law! I know you have always been virtuous, but now that someone wants to poke our lungs like this, if you don't come up with some rules and regulations, how will you manage your family in the future? ”
Jiang Baoqing looked at her coldly, is this going to punish her "logically"?
Second Mrs. Wen looked at Old Madam Zhai with some hesitation: "Mother, what do you say?" After all, Baoqing is a new daughter-in-law who has just entered the door, and she has no experience in this area before, and she didn't do it on purpose......"
It seems that she wants to put this choice in the hands of Mrs. Zhai, but there are hints in her words that she has to give Jiang Baoqing a good look this time.
If you don't have experience, don't you have to be taught more ruthlessly? By the way, Mrs. Zhai also remembered that she had to assign a housekeeper to Jiang Baoqing before, but Jiang Baoqing refused.
Sure enough, Old Madam Zhai's face was gloomy as if she was about to drip water, she opened her mouth, and just about to say something, Jiang Baoqing opened her mouth with a surprised face: "Second lady, third lady, what are you talking about?" ”
Mrs. Tang San looked like she didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement: "Look, look, there is no repentance at all, I don't know where I did wrong!" ”
"Yuecui!" Old Madam Zhai was so angry that her face was flushed, and she shouted Yuecui, "Bring me my dragon head crutch!" ”
Yuecui was stunned.
Second Mrs. Wen gave Yuecui a look and asked her to get it quickly.
Who knew that at this moment, Jiang Baoqing said crisply: "Don't be angry, the second lady has done something wrong, but she won't be angry like this!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Second Mrs. Wen almost laughed angrily.
Jiang Baoqing didn't give others a chance to react, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I only listened for a long time before I realized what the old lady was talking about. The old lady is worried that the reputation of our Dingguo Marquis Mansion will be ruined by the purchase of ice, but in fact, this is not necessary, after all, the weather is hot this year, and many dignitaries and nobles go to the ice cellar to buy ice. This is one of them; Second......"
Jiang Baoqing looked at Second Lady Wen and sighed: "Originally, it was nothing, but the Second Lady didn't know why, and said that she didn't allow the ice I bought to enter the mansion, for fear that this would ruin the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion." ”
