Chapter 459: Heart
Mrs. Chi never let the maid wait for her to bathe, because she was afraid that the maid would see the scars on her body.
But after living under one roof for a few years, how could the maid not know at all?
It's just that Mrs. Chi doesn't compete for favor, and she doesn't even go out of the courtyard gate, so no one cares about the scars on her body.
After seeing the scars on Mrs. Chi's body, Magpie knew that her wife would not be favored in her life.
The prince doesn't even like the lord of Nanzhang, let alone the disfigured Mrs. Chi?
They are not ambitious people, they are in a safe corner, they don't worry about eating and drinking, and they are content without sun and rain.
It's just that I didn't expect to provoke the lord of Nanzhang, if it wasn't for the princess to save them, the magpie felt that he would be sunburned to death.
Both of them had knee injuries that were not light, and they were unable to move, but there was only one magpie in the Qingqiu Garden.
Su Jin said, "I'll pick two maids and send them." ”
Mrs. Chi looked at her and shook her head again and again.
If you don't have a concubine, you can send a maid to the courtyard of the concubine's room.
Su Jin was grateful to her and Mrs. Chi, but she couldn't let Su Jin fall into the hands of others and be criticized.
Su Jin felt that Mrs. Chi was thinking too much.
With her grievances with the lord of Nanzhang and the old lady, sending two maids to Qingqiu Yuan is just stuffing two drops of water into the sea, which is not worth mentioning.
However, since Mrs. Chi has expressed her position, she will not feel at ease if she sends someone here.
So this person has to send it, but not her.
"I don't send Agarwood Xuan's maids," Su Jin said.
"You rest, I'll go back first."
Out of Qingqiu Garden, Xing'er looked at Su Jindao, "Really don't you send the maid?" ”
"Find Manager Li to pick two loyal and honest maids," Su Jin said.
"The girl is so smart," Apricot said cheerfully.
"Then I'll go to the front yard and beat people."
Su Jin, "....... ”
Watching Xing'er run towards the front yard like a happy bird, the corners of Su Jin's mouth twitched involuntarily.
The happiness of this maid is too simple.
Let her rob, let her beat people, and she will be happy.
It's just that Apricot is happy, then someone is destined to cry.
The ice cellar is next to the big kitchen, after all, the most needed place in the house is the kitchen.
Ask who is in charge of the ice cellar.
Apricot took out her whip and whipped it.
Before the poor ice cellar keeper could understand what was happening, he was stunned by a whip, and screamed in pain.
After three whips, the steward of the ice cellar knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Grandma, where did I offend you?" ”
"You didn't offend me, you offended Mrs. Chi," Xing'er said.
"I whipped it for her."
Mrs. Chi?
The ice cellar manager was even more confused.
He hadn't even seen Mrs. Chi in person, how could he offend her?!
The ice cellar steward's righteous questioning.
In response to her was Apricot's whip.
If you do something wrong, you don't know what's wrong, who will you smoke if you don't smoke it?
"Let me ask you, Mrs. Chi is the concubine of the prince, can she use ice cubes to beat the heat?" Apricot asked.
“……。”
The ice cellar steward's face changed.
Why did you smoke him for this?
"Excuse me, haven't you had enough whips?" Apricot said in a short temper.
"Yes, yes."
"How many ice cubes per day?" Apricot asked again.
"The aunt in the house, the daily servings are a piece of ice, which is provided for one month a year."
"What about Mrs. Chi's share?!" Apricot asked, narrowing her eyes.
The ice cellar steward wanted to cry.
Do you still need to ask, of course it's buckled.
Mrs. Chi was not favored again, and the ice cubes were two taels of silver.
Now, of course, a piece only costs one tael of silver.
No matter how little money is, it's money.
If you don't deduct points, how can you pay homage layer by layer?
What's more, if you don't give Mrs. Chi ice, the lord of Nanzhang knows about this, and she didn't say no.
Who would have thought that someone would give Mrs. Chi a head.
And the one who came out was the most unprovoked person in the Zhenbei Palace.
The ice cellar steward wants to die.
"I, I'm going to send someone to Qingqiu Yuan to deliver ice cubes," said the ice cellar manager.
"How much?" Apricot asked.
"One...... One piece. ”
Xing'er looked at him and said, "You repeat, how many pieces?" ”
"Yes, how many?" The heart of the ice cellar steward trembled.
Xing'er glared at him, "For so many years, the ice cellar has never sent ice cubes to Qingqiu Garden, Mrs. Chi has saved a lot of ice cubes, and in the future, she will send five pieces of ice to Qingqiu Garden every day, one less one, and I will whip you." ”
The ice cellar steward's face was ugly.
After all, the lord of Nanzhang County is the head of the house, and she only uses six pieces of ice a day.
Four pieces during the day and two pieces at night.
Mrs. Chi actually uses five yuan for an unfavored concubine, which is unreasonable.
The steward of the ice cellar didn't dare to offend the lord of Nanzhang.
Xing'er looked at him and said, "Really? ”
"It's really not going to work," said the ice cellar steward.
Just as Manager Li came over, the manager of the ice cellar asked Manager Li for help.
Manager Li also looked at Xing'er in embarrassment, "There is no precedent for using five pieces of ice in the concubine's room in the house. ”
Mr. Li is a good person.
Xing'er didn't scold him.
"That's for the sake of Manager Li's face, don't want five pieces of ice," Xing'er said.
Mr. Li was a little moved.
I didn't expect him to have a big face in front of the princess's maid.
Just thought like this-
I heard the voice of the apricot:
"The ice cellar handed over the ice dollars owed to Mrs. Chi in the past fifteen years, and I asked people to buy ice cubes to enter the house."
Mr. Lee, "....... ”
Ice cellar steward, "....... ”
Is this a concession?
This is clearly forcing people to a dead end!
The corners of Mr. Li's mouth twitched.
Xing'er looked at him and said ignorantly, "Doesn't what I said make sense?" ”
Mr. Lee, "....... ”
Reasonable.
It is this principle that can make people angry to death.
In Xing'er's eyes, nothing less than anything should be missing.
It is only natural to owe ice cubes and return ice cubes.
If you don't pay back the ice, then pay back.
In the past, the ice cubes were two taels of silver, but now they can be compensated to Mrs. Chi according to two taels of silver.
Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Nachi can use ten pieces of ice a day.
"Let's lose money," Apricot said.
"It's worth losing money."
“……。”
Manager Li silently looked at the ice cellar steward, and said, "Although you shouldn't do anything according to the family rules, the ice cellar should be compensated for deducting Mrs. Chi's ice cubes for more than ten years." ”
"I think I might as well follow Miss Xing'er's wishes and send five pieces of ice to Qingqiu Garden every day."
What can the ice cellar manager do, it is better to send ice cubes than to lose money.
Seeing the reluctant look of the ice cellar manager, Xing'er felt that she had just whipped less.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing suspicion, would her family concubine give Mrs. Chi as many ice cubes as she wanted, would she be able to fight?
"What are you doing here, send ice cubes!" Apricot urged.
The ice cellar manager hurriedly got up and found someone to deliver ice.
Xing'er looked at Mr. Li, "Mother Li of Qingqiu Yuan was killed by a cane, Magpie and Mrs. Chi were punished for kneeling and injured their knees, no one called, my girl asked Mr. Li to pick two loyal and reliable maids." ”
Mr. Lee, "....... ”
It's not his business.
However, the apricot was afraid of the sun, so she ran away after passing the word.
Mr. Li has one head and two big.
What happened in the Peony Courtyard, Manager Li knew it clearly.
The county lord of Nanzhang and the third wife teamed up to dig a pit for Mrs. Chi, but was pushed into the pit by the princess, and at this time he was worried about how to find the imaginary 10,000 taels of silver tickets lost by the third wife's brother and sister-in-law.
Manager Li was not so stupid, thinking that the prince was in the study, so he went to ask the prince what he meant.
The prince's brows furrowed.
The matter of the silver ticket, the princess is in charge, after all, it has something to do with her.
How could she care about sending a maid to Qingqiu Garden?
Thinking of Mrs. Chi's dodging eyes and the 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
The prince's brows furrowed a little more.
"Lord Wang?" Mr. Li called.
The prince came back to his senses, "That's it, just do it according to the princess's wishes." ”
Mr. Li stepped down.
However, Mr. Li has not yet gone out.
The prince added, "Pick two henchmen." ”
