Chapter 177: The Year of Aggrieved

"It's really two loyal slaves and maids, worthy of being from the West Courtyard, Gui Shi you teach well." Old Madam Ji didn't smile.

Mrs. Xie praised her, but her granddaughter-in-law was ashamed, "Gui Mingyue didn't let it go at all."

"It's a pity that this is the Marquis Mansion of Zhenguo, and the people want to be loyal, and only I am the Marquis Mansion. Grandma Cheng, you are also an old man in the house, you should understand this reason, right? Old Madam Ji said.

Grandma Cheng was only wearing a middle coat, at this time, I don't know whether it was because of the cold or humiliation, her always strong body trembled a little, but after listening to the old lady's words, she suddenly stopped trembling and didn't say a word.

Facing the eyes of the crowd or mockery or sympathy, or schadenfreude, or still want to fall into the rock. Gui Mingyue looked at Grandma Cheng and Yinshen'er beside her, her face was pale and bloodless in her middle clothes, especially Yinshen'er, who had always been strong, and she was standing at this time, like a dagger, stiff and stubborn.

"Let's go, let's go back." Gui Mingyue said lightly, at this time, there were thorns in her heart, and she was hateful and ruthless in her heart, and she just wanted to annihilate the entire Hou Mansion to make up for the humiliation received by the three of them.

Just when the three masters and servants were about to leave the north courtyard like this, Ji Yunyi strode in.

He bowed to the old lady, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Go to the west courtyard and get two clothes." ”

"Stop!" The old lady didn't think about it and scolded, "No one is allowed to go." ”

"Does grandmother have to embarrass her grandson and Yue'er like this today?" There was no more warmth in Ji Yunyi's eyes, and he said, "Even so, my grandson has nothing to say." ”

stepped forward and pulled up Gui Mingyue to succeed, after this move, it made the old lady's frown, the eldest lady's disdain, and Lin Zhanmei's jealousy went crazy.

In the past, when Ji Yunyi did this Meng Lang move, Grandma Cheng had to frown and remind. This time, for the first time, Grandma Cheng actually had a feeling of raising her eyebrows.

"Wait, since the clothes of the subordinates do not conform to the rules of the Hou Mansion, it is inevitable to re-establish them." Gui Mingyue suddenly turned her head and said to the eldest lady: "Eldest lady, although today is not the day to receive the monthly case, but the people in the West Courtyard can't wait for that day, and please make up for the monthly and festival silver rewards that have not been issued for more than half a year. Also, a few cousins who temporarily live in the West Courtyard are even more inconvenient to be lazy, in addition to their monthly routine, this dress is more suitable and in accordance with the rules, and I also ask the eldest lady to prepare it together. ”

Saying Yingying Yifu, he followed Ji Yunyi and left without looking back.

"You ......" The eldest lady was aggrieved in her heart, it was the old lady who gave you anger, and it wasn't me, why did you ask me for silver, besides, this West Courtyard is not small, and the monthly case of the master's subordinates for half a year has been issued at the same time, but it is not a small amount, plus these table ladies, listening to this, this Gui family wants to even ignore the layout of their house and the clothes and jewelry.

The eldest lady couldn't help but have a headache. When the ladies saw that there was no good show to watch, they all said goodbye.

The old lady looked at her most proud eldest grandson with a cold face in front of her, and she didn't react for a while.

She knew that a few days ago, because of the affairs of those cousins, Ji Yunyi had angered Ji Yunyi, but Ji Yunyi was able to agree, just for the friendship of the ancestors and grandchildren that day. Today, she humiliated the two subordinates by humiliating the Gui clan, and this incident touched Ji Yunyi's scales.

In the future, it is estimated that there will be no friendship between the two grandchildren.

Old Madam Ji regretted in her heart, she really shouldn't have done such a desperate thing today, but she was indeed made sensible by the Gui clan and her maid.

"Go and call the second aunt to come over," Mrs. Ji said quietly, although the second aunt is a cowardly who can't be helped, she should be his brother's mother-in-law. The old lady knows Ji Yunyi, maybe he hates the Hou Mansion, or even hates his relatives. But he has a good heart, and every kind-hearted person is ruthless to his own mother.

Even if this mother is dull and cowardly, unlike other people's mothers, she has never given him much love and protection.

After a while, the second aunt got the old lady's instructions, and went back to her yard happily.

It seems that the old lady is still thinking about herself, and the second aunt seems to have a backbone in her heart.

"Quick, go and get the big rice made for the eldest young master, I'll go and send it to him in person." The second aunt commanded.

"Auntie, I think it's better to go again tomorrow," the maid Ying'er hurriedly persuaded, today the eldest young master came out from the old lady with a black face, but everyone saw it, the second aunt went at this time, it was not a good time.

"Alright, alright, then tomorrow." Although this Yi brother is born by himself, the second aunt is still quite afraid of him in her heart, especially when she looks at people with a cold face.

Let's talk about the huge Hou Mansion, Ji Yunyi led Gui Mingyue all the way from the north courtyard to the west courtyard, and the maid and woman she met on the way couldn't help but point at the silver pendant and Grandma Cheng in the back.

Yinzhu'er is a big girl who speaks in the West Courtyard, and no one else can stammer, and Grandma Cheng is an old man in the house, and some people can't help but mutter.

It's just that when I glanced at the eldest young grandmother and returned to Mingyue, I was so frightened by her sharp and cruel eyes that I choked back half of what she said. Seeing that the little maid in the West Courtyard had already gotten the news, she trotted all the way and sent two pieces of rice over.

Looking at the lively people, I couldn't help but have a different feeling about the maintenance of these two people by the grandmother, and I was even more envious of these two people in my heart.

In this well-behaved Zhenguo Mansion, the subordinates are never people, they are things sent by the master to beat and scold at will, and they are cats and dogs that may be whipped and beaten to death at any time.

Let's ask which master in the yard can let his subordinates wear such good clothes, and can maintain his subordinates to this point?

At this time, some people remembered that the banquet when the young grandmother first entered the door, it was also for the sake of the golden girl in the courtyard, and she fought with the eldest lady......

Yin Shen'er and Grandma Cheng, who were following behind Gui Mingyue, didn't know that in the hearts of these people, they had changed their thoughts about them from watching jokes to being extremely envious. With a blank face, he followed the young grandmother back to the west courtyard.

"Grandma Cheng, you go back to rest and rest first, don't wait in front of you," Gui Mingyue sighed, looking at Grandma Cheng, who had been working silently since she came back, knowing that she had suffered humiliation and discomfort today, and then said: "Don't think too much about today's things." ”

Grandma Cheng shook her head, and after a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "The old slave only learned today that what the young grandmother said before was right, and the old slave was wrong." ”

Gui Mingyue looked at Grandma Cheng with some puzzlement, and was about to ask, but the silver pendant next to her also smiled and said, "Grandma saw it clearly today, and it's not too late." ”

The eldest young grandmother didn't understand the meaning of Grandma Cheng's words, but she understood, in the past, Grandma Cheng always persuaded the eldest and younger grandmother to be cautious in her words and deeds, and not to make mistakes. Grandma Cheng persuaded the eldest and youngest grandmothers to compete with the eldest lady, and to be more respectful in front of the old lady, so that people could not find mistakes.

What Grandma Cheng doesn't know is that there is no excuse for the crime she wants to add.

What the old lady said today was obviously cowardly, she was afraid that the eldest young master would be too attentive to the eldest young grandmother, and she was also afraid that the subordinates would be too loyal to the eldest young grandmother, and she wanted all the subordinates in this mansion to only be loyal to the old lady of Zhenguo's mansion.

However, she could only take off the brocade and satin clothes on the two of them, and wanted to humiliate them in front of everyone, and it was best for the two of them to be thin-skinned and hang themselves, so that the people in the whole mansion would be more afraid of the old lady and the rules of this Hou Mansion.

The more this is the case, the more they can't let the old lady succeed, the better they can live, let all the people in this mansion know that the people in their western courtyard will never commit suicide, but will only live better than others.

The two of them immediately persuaded Gui Mingyue in turn, but Gui Mingyue was still very aggrieved in her heart, Ning Xiang's death had not yet been investigated, and now Yin Shen'er and Cheng Grandma had been treated like this again.

Gui Mingyue's heart was unprecedentedly powerless, since entering this Hou Mansion, it seemed that she had fallen into a quagmire, and her ability to be like a fish in water and her luck in the outside business scene seemed to have left her.

Ji Yunyi knew what was on her mind, she was distressed and guilty, she reached out and hugged her tightly into her arms, and whispered in her ear: "Hard worker, let me help you in the future, okay?" ”

Gui Mingyue shook her head, no matter how bad she is, this matter in the inner courtyard cannot be avoided to be dealt with.

Ji Yunyi sighed, yes, even if he can help her for a while, it is not a long-term solution.

After the year, he was going to go to Northern Xinjiang to lead troops to fight, but this matter Ji Yunyi existed in his heart, and now bad things are happening one after another, plus it is just in time for the New Year, so he has not been able to tell Gui Mingyue.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is a tasteless year for Gui Mingyue, but it is a year that Ji Yunyi cherishes.

"Yue'er, follow me somewhere." Ji Yunyi wanted to make her happy, so he took her to the city tower of the Janissary again.

Standing on the top of the city tower, you can see the royal palace with singing and dancing and bright lights up close, and the folk with firecrackers and candles from a distance.

On such a night, although the cold wind was raging, everyone on the street was full of festive joy and kindness, and Gui Mingyue couldn't help but be infected, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"Oh, here you go," Ji Yunyi handed a delicate jade cup to Gui Mingyue's hand, and the material of this jade cup was actually a rare Kunshan mutton fat white jade.

Gui Mingyue sighed, I don't know that this jade cup looks familiar, and even more because of this wine cup made of Kunshan mutton fat white jade, it can be said to be priceless, even if it is himself, he may not be able to get such a treasure.

Even if it is Ji Yunyi, who is an official to the first grade, Yu Lu is all included in the Hou Mansion every month, and there is such a treasure, which can be seen to be a royal gift, and Gui Mingyue can not drink with this imperial gift, in case he accidentally eats it...... But this wine cup is really exquisitely made.

Ji Yunyi looked at her with a smile in her eyes, knocked on her little head, and said, "What kind of crooked idea, the New Year's gift for you, remember when I was in the palace, I promised to compensate you for the wine cup?" ”

Oh, Gui Mingyue suddenly realized, then snatched the wine cup and said, "I remember that you promised to compensate me for a pair of wine cups, but what about the other one?" ”

"Hahaha, my Yue'er is really a little money fan, the other light is not in a hurry, I will give it to you one day." Ji Yunyi sold a pass, such a wine cup is naturally a pair, and the other is in his own place, Ji Yunyi expects to return from this battle, and then hand it over to Gui Mingyue, and it is a thought to keep the right for himself.
