Chapter 268: Are You a Subordinate or a Guest?
People who are afraid of their mother-in-law naturally know that Fuyi is going to be scolded, after all, it is a big taboo to take a woman who has just died of her husband home.
"My sister-in-law accompanies me, and I will inevitably be scolded, and you will be scolded by the second aunt when you turn back." Fu Yi smiled, "More things are better than less things, don't worry, grandma nodded in this matter, mother she won't embarrass me." ”
Chu Xue was very guilty: "Yan Shi said that he would come to pick up Chu Xia earlier, and he would definitely come, help, I really can't help it." ”
Fu Yi shook her head, this is not the fault of her sister-in-law, nor is it the fault of Min Yanshi, she entrusted Miss Chuxia to her sister-in-law and left here unhurriedly.
As soon as he went out, he saw Zhengming waiting nearby, and he greeted him respectfully.
"Madam, the woman found two silver tickets of one hundred taels of silver, which were only written a few days ago, and the little one went to the money village along the ticket number, and when he looked in front of the door, he was fooled into the door." Zheng Ming said cautiously, "There are people there who solicit business, or borrow usury, or lend money. ”
Fu Yi asked: "What are the rules for releasing money in the capital?" ”
The controversy responded: "The imperial court expressly prohibits it, but it is faster to release interest money and make money than to save money." The noble ladies have some spare money in their hands, and the expenses in the mansion are so large, and the people who have no fields and mountains and forests can not live on their own money alone, so they have this livelihood. ”
Fuyi knows the pros and cons, her dowry is earned by her mother behind her father's back, but this does not mean that she can allow these things, greed is the first of all evils, a greedy word, will evolve into countless evils, enough to overwhelm everything.
Zheng Ming continued: "Little fool, I forgot to say the most important thing, madam, that woman is the younger brother and daughter-in-law of Wang's mother's mother's family. ”
Fu Yi smiled slightly: "I guessed, otherwise how could she wear Mother Wang's ring and bracelet on her hand." ”
Zhengming asked in surprise: "When you went out, you recognized it at a glance?" ”
Fu Yi did not explain, although she has the ability to never forget, but she does not care about the jewelry worn by others, but Wang's mother helped the eldest lady to practice her several times, and when she was almost punished for kneeling that day, she saw the ring and bracelet on Wang's hand clearly.
This morning, the woman was sneaky, and she was originally just vigilant, but as soon as she arrived, she saw that she had something about Wang's mother.
Fu Yi was worried about how to send the Wang family, and they sent it to the door by themselves.
Seeing that the young lady didn't speak, Zhengming kindly reminded: "The eldest lady must protect Mother Wang, you must be cautious." ”
Fu Yi bowed: "Stand down, you don't have to follow." ”
In Xinghua Hall, Mother Wang looked nervous, and carefully served the eldest lady, who would have fanned the flames on weekdays, but today she honestly closed her mouth and didn't dare to say more than half a word.
When Fu Yi came, he saluted his mother-in-law and asked the eldest lady what she commanded.
The eldest lady said coldly: "A few days after you entered the door, first get a cuizhu to have a miscarriage in your house, and in a blink of an eye, you got a man who just died. ”
Fu Yi said innocently: "Eldest lady, please don't be angry, all this is the third uncle's decision, and the daughter-in-law has persuaded her, but the third uncle doesn't agree, and the daughter-in-law really can't help it." ”
The eldest lady said angrily: "You still dare to lie, the third child is not a nosy person, and you don't figure out the character first, and then rely on him?" “
Fu Yi shook his head again and again: "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare to lie, eldest lady, if you don't believe it, you can ask the third uncle to ......"
"Shut up!" The eldest lady said, "You haven't figured it out yet, I can ask the truth, and then I'll see the hell." ”
Mother Wang was on the side, asking the eldest lady to dissipate her anger, and sure enough, she didn't care about any bad luck or not now, and her younger siblings hadn't been fished out yet.
The eldest lady glanced at her and said, "You're good, what are you doing when you lock up Mother Wang's younger siblings?" ”
Fuyi was "panicked" and asked Wang's mother: "That's your brother and sister?" I just don't know. She turned around and was about to leave, and said obediently, "Madame, I'll go and let her go, don't be angry." ”
On the contrary, the eldest lady felt strange and shouted for help: "You make it clear first, what are you going to do with her?" ”
Wang's mother explained herself: "Presumably she probed her brain outside and was treated as a thief." ”
Fu Yi said: "That's it, my daughter-in-law was too anxious to go out in the morning, and she just wanted to come back to deal with it, but she didn't expect it to be Mother Wang's mother's family, Mother Wang, don't worry, I'll go and let her go." ”
This time, regardless of whether the mother-in-law agreed or not, she left without looking back.
Leaving the eldest lady full of suspicions: "What does this little girl want to calculate me?" ”
Mother Wang was scared half to death, for fear that her secret lending would be noticed by the eldest lady, so she rarely added fuel to the fire, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, don't be angry, the young lady is also cautious, afraid of being robbed at home." Wait a moment, and the slave will take a look and send the ignorant woman away. ”
The eldest lady said impatiently: "Don't make trouble for me, let that girl catch the handle, the old lady is not satisfied with you, and it will not take a day or two to be beaten, but don't forget the pain of the scar." ”
"Yes, yes......" Wang's mother was sweating profusely, and after resigning from her master, she hurried over.
Several subordinates had already sent Wang's mother's brother and daughter-in-law outside the house, and she chased them all the way out and talked in the corner for a long time.
Her brother and daughter-in-law were so frightened that she cried and said, "Two women came, searched my whole body, and took away all the jewelry and silver tickets." ”
Mother Wang was angry and hateful: "You idiot, I'm in a hurry to ask you for this money?" What did you send here in a hurry? After thinking about it, he asked, "How did you get people to recognize you?" ”
The younger brother and daughter-in-law were unconsciously recognized wearing the jewelry given by the eldest sister, shook their heads and said, "I don't know either, I was scared to death, so I said that I was your younger brother and sister." ”
"Don't come to this door again." Mother Wang was angry, "Get out! ”
When Wang's mother sneakily returned to the mansion, Fuyi stared at her not far away, and when she saw her looking around for Xinghuatang, she instructed the contention around her: "Go and inquire again, and inquire about her affairs outside." ”
Zhengming reminded the young lady: "She now knows that you know what you know, but you don't say it in front of the eldest lady, I'm afraid that in order to gamble on your mouth, you will do something unacceptable." ”
Fuyi smiled faintly: "I'm afraid she won't be in a hurry, don't worry, she can't turn the sky." ”
At this time, the subordinates in front of the door reported that two ladies came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take Miss Chuxia back, but even the subordinates knew that these two were in the Min family, and they didn't have the weight to speak, but they were a little more decent than the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and it was not as good as the housekeeper's mother-in-law.
The old lady passed the word, saying that she was entrusted by the grandson of the head of the Min Mansion, and that she could not hand over the child to anyone except him, so she ordered the second lady to entertain her in-laws, drink tea and leave.
But if they returned in vain, they would not be blamed when they went back, and they were entangled for a long time, and when they saw that the Zhu family just didn't let go, they had to leave.
The second lady came to the inner courtyard to report to her mother-in-law, and the old lady simply brought the eldest lady together and told her about today's events.
"It's the agreement between the grandson of the Min family and your third brother, since the matter has come out, we will do good things to the end, and take care of that child for a few more days." The old lady said, "Today and tomorrow, there will be rumors in the capital immediately, and your respective mother's family will have to come to inquire, don't take it for granted, just a few words, don't add oil and vinegar." ”
The eldest lady said bluntly: "The people who are filial piety are just coming to the house, there are old and young people in our house, and you don't look at the little brother who was born, so the rules are messed up, how will the daughter-in-law teach the children in the future?" ”
The old lady said: "It's not very decent, and it's not a proper system, but it's a human life, although it can be kept outside, but it can't be saved from the people of the Jin family, that family is all fighting, where are our family members their opponents." Whether it's bad luck or bad luck, don't think about it, the three families are dead, the mother and son are safe, let's save a life now, it is also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good. ”
The eldest lady had nothing to say but to swallow.
The old lady asked, "I heard that someone was arrested in the family today?" ”
Fuyi stepped forward and responded: "Back to grandma's words, it was the grandson who was confused for a while, and arrested Wang's mother's relatives as thieves, just because the eldest lady told her grandson thousands of times to be cautious and be careful of thieves." I have been all soldiers for a while, and I have caught them indiscriminately, and now I have given the reward money to suppress the shock, and I have sent the people back. ”
The old lady asked the eldest lady, "Is there such a thing?" ”
The eldest lady reluctantly said, "This child is too cautious and makes jokes. ”
The old lady said: "You taught well, you should be careful of the door, and foreign thieves and thieves must be guarded against." ”
The eldest lady smiled, such praise is not uncommon for her.
But the old lady's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Fu Yi sternly and said, "Kneel." ”
Fu Yi was stunned for a moment, nervous, she knew that her grandmother would not embarrass her, but she didn't know what this was for.
"Grandma, I'm ......" Fu Yi knelt down honestly, his head blank.
The old lady said coldly: "I often think that although I love Yunzhi, I haven't taught her how big or small, these days, she often calls several brothers by their names, which is not in a proper manner. Fuyi, just now I heard you call your mother-in-law and eldest lady, are you a subordinate or a guest? Don't put your mother-in-law in your eyes like this? ”
