Chapter 53: The Seizure of Power
Shen Mengzhi realized that at this time, she had not yet recovered from the shock, her face was so ugly, going to Yulan Residence to hang around would only add to people's blockage.
Her father is taken care of by her brother and Mama Li, and she is very relieved, so it is better to calm her mood first.
Unexpectedly, Mama Li was sitting on a stone bench in Qingqing's small courtyard.
He took an egg in his hand and rolled it into the face of the quiet girl sitting on the stone bench opposite.
Jingnu's cheeks were red and swollen.
That was when Cheng Shi saw that she was not there and beat Jing Nu to be angry.
There was a slap on the left and right, and they were all hit hard, and his face was swollen and slightly bloodstained.
It's just Cheng's, if someone else changes, she has to fight back twice!
When the two saw her enter the courtyard, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"There are no outsiders, so you don't have to care about these false courtesies."
Shen Mengzhi asked the two to sit down.
Picking up Jingnu's chin with one hand, she carefully examined the wound.
He said, "Eggs alone can't get rid of swelling." Ask someone to buy a ointment to put it on. ”
Mama Li was about to answer, but Shen Mengzhi said again, "The ointment is the best." ”
Mama Li opened her mouth to say yes, and Shen Mengzhi then said, "The silver taels spent on buying the ointment are deducted from my mother's use." ”
Jingnu waved her hand again and again, "The slave has rough skin and thick meat, it's okay, it's really fine, wait until tomorrow, it's natural." ”
Mama Li also said, "Girl, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”
It doesn't cost much to buy ointments.
Shen Mengzhi is not short of these taels of silver, and Cheng's is not short of these taels of silver.
But putting the account on Cheng's head, didn't he announce to everyone that Shen Mengzhi and Cheng's discord?
Cheng, that's Shen Mengzhi's biological mother, if this is spread out, how bad will it be?
Shen Mengzhi asked the two of them rhetorically, "The person whose mother beat her wants her to spend some money to heal her injuries, shouldn't this be?" ”
Jingnu hurriedly got up, knelt next to Shen Mengzhi, put her forehead on the ground and said, "Girl, it's the slave who has lost her duty and failed to take good care of the girl." Madame taught a lesson, for the good of the girl, and also for the good of the slave. The girl must not be estranged from her wife because of the slave maid, everything the lady does is for the sake of the girl. ”
Shen Mengzhi listened carefully, and after listening to Jingnu's finished speaking, he asked, "Jingnu, what did I say to you?" ”
Although the tone is gentle, it hides a fierce color.
Jingnu raised her head, secretly glanced at Shen Mengzhi's expression, buried her head again, and lowered her body more and more, not daring to answer.
Shen Mengzhi raised his lips and smiled, suddenly slapped his face on the stone table, and asked sharply, "What did I say to you?!" ”
Shen Mengzhi was really angry, and slapped the stone table with a muffled sound.
Jingnu was so frightened that she shuddered, and hurriedly replied in a low voice, "The girl said, let the slave and maid only listen to the girl." ”
Mama Li on the side saw Shen Mengzhi losing such a big temper at them for the first time, and she was also startled, and quickly got up and knelt down.
Shen Mengzhi slowly stood up, looked at the two kneeling at his feet, and solemnly admonished, "You all remember!" One day you are the person I know in my dreams, I will protect you for one day, and you are the people I know in my dreams, and I will protect you for the rest of my life! Don't say that you are right, even if you are wrong, only I, Shen Mengzhi, can teach you a lesson! I raise my head and be a man, and you are not allowed to look at anyone's face! Even if you want to poke a hole in the sky, I say I want to poke it, you have to obey my arrangement! ”
"Yes." Jingnu and Mama Li replied at the same time.
"Get up." Shen Mengzhi softened his face and said, "Jing Nu sent someone to buy a plaster and come back to apply it to her face, so she doesn't have to be on duty today, go back to the room to rest." ”
Jingnu didn't dare to disobey Shen Mengzhi's words anymore, and retreated.
When Jingnu left, Shen Mengzhi asked Mama Li, "How is my father?" ”
Mama Li replied, "The girl woke up not long after she left, but she was not in good spirits. The doctor went to see it, said that there were no other problems, and also prescribed medicine...... After the adult took the soothing soup, he fell asleep, and the eldest prince watched from the side. ”
"What did she say?"
This her, except for Cheng, there is no one else.
Up and down the Shen Mansion, the only person who will "send" Shen Mengzhi is the Cheng family.
Otherwise, Shen Mengzhi personally instructed Mama Li to take care of Shen Yunxian in Yulanju, how could Mama Li leave Shen Yunxian aside and run back to Qingqing Xiaoyuan?
It must be what Cheng said.
Mama Li had prepared the wording of the response at first, wanting to get through the trick and cover up the past, not wanting the relationship between Shen Mengzhi and the Cheng family to become stiff.
But after hearing Shen Mengzhi's words when he was angry just now, and understanding Shen Mengzhi's intentions, the cold matter passed from the heart again, and he had to change Fang Cai's plan.
replied honestly, "Madame asked the old slave to sort out the booklet and the bookkeeping book of the housekeeper and send it to her...... Because the book was in the hands of the Jing girl, the old slave thought about it and asked, and heard that the Jing girl was in Qingqing Xiaoyuan, so she came over, and then saw that the Jing girl's face was so swollen that she boiled an egg to wipe it, and forgot about it for a while. ”
Mama Li has been by Mrs. Shen's side all the year round, and she has managed countless affairs, big and small, and she can be described as handy, and it is impossible not to even remember the things that Cheng Shi's ear mentions.
said that he forgot, but he was just waiting for Shen Mengzhi to come back and get an idea.
Shen Mengzhi knew that if she said it, she would immediately sort it out and send it over.
If Shen Mengzhi said not to give it, she naturally had to obey Shen Mengzhi's arrangement.
This little bit of lively thought, Mama Li still has it.
Ginger, in the end, is old and spicy.
When it comes to these things in the back house, Jingnu is much worse than Mama Li.
Shen Mengzhi nodded with satisfaction, "I'm thirteen years old now, and I'm not a child anymore." In the blink of an eye, it's an adult, and you can learn to take care of the things in the house. ”
The Cheng family didn't care about the Shen Mansion at all in the past.
For many years, you are either sick or tired, or you are busy eating fasting and reciting Buddha.
I've never taken care of the affairs of the house.,Make a good home look like something.。
Now I don't know what to think, but I want to take the power of the family from her.
She won't let it go.
As early as the moment she woke up from the dream, Shen Mengzhi had already thought that before Shen Junzhi married his wife, the backyard of the Shen Mansion would be managed by her, and she would no longer bother Cheng's Dingdian.
As he was talking, Cheng led the maid Cuiyu into the courtyard.
No more, no less, just listened to Shen Mengzhi's last words.
Cheng immediately said, "Meng'er, as a boudoir woman, might as well learn more about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." You know, a woman who is proficient in everything is endearing? But thirteen years old, a good age, learn what to take care of the back house. ”
But he said in his heart, but he hadn't seen him for a few months, Shen Mengzhi was thoughtful and resolute, not at all like a thirteen-year-old girl in the boudoir.
Based on Shen Meng's knowledge of what he has done these days, he is afraid that the women in the capital will be willing to bow down.
