Chapter 41: Li Yingluo resigns
Before dark, Tao returned to the Plains Mansion.
I went to say hello to Mrs. Cheng first, but Mrs. Cheng was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, so she sent her away without waiting for her to speak.
Tao's original good mood flew instantly, and he rushed back to Tingfeng Xuan angrily, and scolded as soon as he entered the door: "What about people, are they all dead, don't come over quickly." β
Shen Xiu took the little girls to greet him and said respectfully, "Congratulations to grandma." β
Tao glared at her, sneered and asked, "What about Zhou Xi's family and Li Yingluo, why don't you see them?" β
Even if Zhou Xi's family was sent by Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng didn't like her anyway.
offended Zhou Xi's family, but he hated himself more, what could he do with her.
Did you divorce her? She didn't make any mistakes, so the Plains Marquis didn't dare, and her reputation still had to be taken care of.
Since she can't take a break, let's make a fuss, so that she won't be angry.
"Sister-in-law Zhou has gone home." Shen Xiu replied, "As for Yingluo, she is on leave today and doesn't have to be on an errand." β
Zhou Xi's family is a mother-in-law, not a girl. In the case of not having to go up at night, the host did not give additional instructions, and you can go home and rest.
As for Li Yingluo, although Cheng Shaomu was there, he never used to take turns off. But now that Dow is in charge, the two are not in harmony, and it is time to take turns to rest.
"They'll be blessed." Dow said with a sneer.
Shen Xiu bowed his head and was silent.
"Don't you want me to serve you?" Dow scolded.
Hui'er and Red Sleeves hurriedly took the girl to the waiter.
"It's a little thing, why should grandma be angry." Mrs. Qian followed, and said to Shen Xiu with a smile: "Grandma hasn't eaten yet, let the kitchen be ready." β
Shen Xiu was a little surprised, he was about to sweep away, generally speaking, after having a meal, he would come back after dinner. "I'll go to the kitchen." β
With that, Shen Xiu turned around and went to the kitchen.
This kind of trivial matter, just send a little girl over. But inside the house, to Dow, she was willing to go to the kitchen for a turn.
A housewife like Tao is really difficult to serve.
Pingyuan Hou Mansion, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay.
Tao tossed until he went to bed at night, the lights in the main room went off, and Shen Xiu also went back to the next room.
As soon as I walked to the door of the room, I saw Li Yingluo coming out of the house and said with a smile: "I bought food, come in and talk." β
"Then I'm blessed." Shen Xiu said with a smile and followed Li Yingluo into the house.
Compared with Shen Xiu's super suite, Li Yingluo's room is much smaller. But the care of tidying up, and the stuff is complete, small and exquisite.
The two sat down at the small round table, and there were food on it, all of which were Qingyang specialties, with many quantities and varieties. It should have been bought by Li Yingluo when she was shopping, which is also her habit.
Shen Xiu glanced at it and said, "It's rare to take a vacation, didn't you go home?" β
If Li Yingluo returned to Li's house, it would be impossible to have so many snacks.
"I came back in the morning, and I came out after lunch." Li Yingluo said, "It's boring to stay at home. β
After the last Mid-Autumn Festival, she felt a little embarrassed when she thought of going home.
Even if it is a close parent, if they are not together all the year round, they will be alienated and cold. Anyway, she will get married soon, and the family will not stay long.
If you feel bored, you can walk away, and you won't be annoyed.
"You......" Shen Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to persuade Li Yingluo a few words, but she didn't know what to say.
Li Yingluo has a strong personality and strong ability. Even if it is father's love and mother's love, what you can't get will not be forced.
"Don't let you go, hurry up and eat." Li Yingluo said, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it herself.
Shen Xiu was in a heavy mood, and she really didn't have much appetite, and said, "Now that the eldest grandmother has also entered the door, you should also go out of the house to get married." β
"Huh?" Li Yingluo was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Xiu and said, "This morning, my grandfather also told me the same. β
As soon as Dow entered the door, she had a falling out with Dow, and as soon as she came home, her grandfather called her over. I thought I would scold her and accuse her of not serving her master.
Unexpectedly, Steward Li opened his mouth to pack up his things and hurry back to his house to prepare for marriage.
It was her grandfather who spoke, she didn't dare to refuse directly, but she wanted to delay it for a few days.
"It seems that Steward Li also thinks ......" Shen Xiu's mood became heavier and heavier, "Pingyuan Hou Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay anymore." β
Li Yingluo heard it in a fog and said, "What do you mean?" β
Shen Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma's temper will definitely not be able to tolerate me." Now that the uncle hasn't come home yet, it doesn't hurt for her to act like this. When the uncle returns home, I'm afraid that ......"
Of course, it is a good thing for Cheng Shaomu to stand up for her, but if things are big, how will it end later.
Hughed Dow?
Cheng Shaomu lost his temper and did it. But just because he did it, her situation would be more difficult, and Mrs. Cheng couldn't tolerate her in the first place.
"Also, the master is the master in the end, it's too embarrassing, and you have no place to stand." Li Yingluo couldn't help but worry, and said, "This grandmother is too uneasy. β
originally thought that Mrs. Tao was like that, but after Tao entered the door, she had to keep her head down.
I didn't expect Dow to be a shrew, and she was a shrew who didn't care about anything at all.
"The big butler wants you to go out early, but he doesn't want you to get into trouble." Shen Xiu said, "It's easy to go out early." β
Li Yingluo has a good relationship with her, and she is righteous.
She is in the center of the storm, and it would not be good if Li Yingluo was involved because she stood up for her.
Go out early and worry early, it is also for Li Yingluo's good.
"How's that going to work?" Li Yingluo said, "I can't leave you like this." β
Shen Xiu said: "You didn't leave me behind, but went out early, and you can leave me a way back." You go out first, in case I can't stay in the Plains Hou Mansion, there is someone to run to. β
Li Yingluo suddenly hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "Uncle likes you so much, is it ......?"
Shen Xiu shook his head and said, "Competing for favor with the main room is not what I want. What's more, Mrs. Cheng can't tolerate such things happening. β
Li Yingluo thought of Mrs. Cheng, and she was also full of helplessness.
Cheng Shaomu is indeed capable, but after this house, he can't do it too much. If Mrs. Cheng was determined to want Shen Xiu to die, Cheng Shaomu would be helpless.
Shen Xiu said: "Since the chief housekeeper also intends to let you out, you should go out early and prepare for marriage." β
"Alas......" Li Yingluo sighed, not knowing what to say.
Shen Xiu said: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be a kiss, and when the kiss is over, you can go out." β
"I ......"
Shen Xiu said: "That's it." β
For two consecutive days, relatives and friends of the Tao family came to come. Although the Tao family has been separated, the daughter of the clan can marry so well, for many relatives and friends, this is a good relative.
Mrs. Cheng didn't have much energy to deal with it, and she couldn't wait to fight Tao out, let alone a bunch of poor relatives.
In such a way, how could Tao not see it, and his heart became more and more annoyed, and he scolded in the house that night.
Zhou Xijia had the heart to persuade her a few words, but seeing that Tao didn't listen, he also saved his tongue and simply went home.
The next day, Li Yingluo resigned.
"The slave's family has redeemed the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid have come to ask grandma for her resignation." Li Yingluo said respectfully, the burden had been packed up, and she held it in her hand.
She's been in the house for seven or eight years, and of course there's more to it than that. The rest of the things had already been packed and taken away, and there was only a change of clothes in the baggage for the past two days.
"Hmph~ You're interesting." Tao suddenly shook her spirits, she had always hated Li Yingluo, and now that Li Yingluo was gone by herself, she only thought that she was afraid, and said: "Get out of here, it's better than me selling you in the future." β
Li Yingluo rolled her eyes in her heart, but she bowed her head and said nothing.
Anyway, I'm leaving today, so why be angry.
Zhou Xijia couldn't see it, and said in the circle next to him: "The Li family has served the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion for generations, and they are rare loyal servants. Uncle Yingluo has worked really hard over the years. β
It stands to reason that when a girl like Li Yingluo goes, the host's family has to show a little bit.
Give an extra month's monthly money and add a small piece of jewelry, which is more or less a heart.
Dow is like this now, just forget if you don't give a reward, and you really shouldn't say such things.
"It's all the slave's business." Li Yingluo lowered her head and said.
Zhou Xijia said with a smile: "You were picked up by your wife, and now you are leaving, don't forget to kowtow to your wife." β
If Dow doesn't give a reward, Mrs. Cheng will definitely not be stingy.
The Li family is rare loyalty, Li Yingluo has also done her best over the years, and when she left, the master gave a little bit, which can be regarded as the love of master and servant.
"Yes." Li Yingluo responded.
Zhou Xijia said: "It's not too early, you can go." β
"Yes." Li Yingluo responded, got up and wanted to leave.
Dow said suddenly, "Wait." β
Li Yingluo suddenly stopped, bowed her head and said, "What else does grandma have to say?" β
"The slaves and maids are all masters, and it is a great grace to be extra generous to let you redeem yourself. Now not only do people have to go, but they also have to carry things away. Tao said, staring at Li Yingluo's burden, "People can go, leave the burden." β
The Pingyuan Hou Mansion is so rich, the girls are so well fed and clothed, and there must be a lot of private money.
Leaving the burden and packing up Li Yingluo, she can still have a windfall, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Xijia's face changed suddenly, and he said: "Grandma, the Pingyuan Hou Mansion has always been generous to people, and the subordinates who redeem themselves can take everything away." β
According to the law, when a subordinate is sold into slavery, his body belongs to the master, and the things he uses are of course the master's.
But etiquette is nothing more than human affection, like the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, the subordinates who have served the marquis for a long time want to leave, they don't want to be worth silver, and they will reward things extraordinarily.
Dow's insistence on deducting the burden of a girl is unheard of.
"Of course, honest and obedient subordinates can take away their burdens, like Li Yingluo, why should she take things." Dow said with a sneer.
Zhou Xijia's face was ugly, and he just wanted to speak, but Li Yingluo said: "Since grandma wants my burden, I'll just stay." β
Saying that, Li Yingluo opened the burden and put it on the table, and said, "Two changes of clothes, grandma can keep them if she wants." β
