Chapter 2 Taking advantage of the situation
Mother Liu was stared at by her eyes, spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth, sat up and shouted, "What are you looking at?" Why don't you cook your own food? It just so happens that I'm hungry too, why don't you go soon? ”
Shui Qianqiu chuckled, walked up to her and said, "Mother Liu, I don't know if you are a young lady or a young lady in this house." ”
Liu's mother was stared at by her, what is the matter with this child? On weekdays, she is the most obedient and does whatever she is told to do, but how do you feel that today's second miss is a little different?
Maybe it's an illusion, Liu's mother thought so, and naturally said according to this idea: "You are a young lady but you are also an unfavored young lady, if it weren't for me asking for a monthly example for you, and taking food every day, would you be able to live until now?" ”
Shui Qianqiu nodded, looking around for the weapon in hand. He didn't forget to continue with her: "What Mother Liu said is true. She saw the wooden stick standing by the wall, held it in her hand, looked at her and smiled: "But the rewards and punishments are clear, you deduct the monthly meals in the house, and abuse and bully the young lady of the Shui family with the wages given to you by the Shui Mansion, what is the reason for this?" ”
Mother Liu put down the melon seeds in her hand, got up and looked at her cautiously, and was unwilling to admit her mistake: "What do you want to do?" I tell you, it's your blessing to have me serving, don't know what to do. Do you think the master will make it for you? Do it during the day...... Yes! ”
Shui Qianqiu was not polite, a stick was slammed on Liu's mother's shoulder, and she wailed out in pain.
"What's next? I'll see who you're going to protect you from saying so much. "Shui Qianqiu has a grudge to repay a grudge and a revenge, in the past, the original body was not less bullied by this Liu's mother, and all the laundry and cooking were done by the original young lady, she was like the master who yelled all day long.
She's not the bun in the original body, anyone can ride on her head to and pee, and when she encounters such a thing, she should be beaten hard and get angry.
Liu's mother hugged her head and scurried, she hit her left and right with a stick very angry, and finally Liu's mother ran out of the yard in a panic, Shui Qianqiu chuckled and went back to the house to change clothes.
There were very few clothes in the original body, and almost all of them were sent by the other two sisters. One is Shui Qianrong, the youngest daughter of the Wang family, and the other is Shui Qingrou, the concubine.
Speaking of which, although this Shui Qianrong is the biological daughter of the Wang family, she is not favored by the Wang family, and even more disgusted. According to the memory of the original body, because Wang had a difficult birth when he gave birth to Qianrong, he could no longer have children when he fell ill, so Wang was very tired of this daughter.
thinks she is her own disaster star, so she hasn't raised Shui Qianrong much, she grew up with her own nurse. This girl has a haughty personality and is reluctant to talk to people, but she cares about the original body very much.
Shui Qingrou was born from a concubine, and her biological mother's family is only a businessman, and her family is well-off. When I first married my daughter, I gave a lot of dowry, but I was either coaxed away by the Wang family, or I was snatched away by Shui Qianzi, and then I took it out to help Master Shui with some officialdom.
The daughter she raised is naturally also a bun, and she is very soft, but because her temperament is too weak, the Wang family didn't deal with her much, and she also didn't deal with the concubine who had no ambition and didn't want to compete for favor.
Shui Qianqiu changed her clothes, and she heard a noise outside, as if Liu's mother had come back with someone. She glanced through the window and saw that it was Wang.
"The front yard is feasting, why did Madame leave the guests to come to my courtyard alone at this time?" Shui Qianqiu saluted, although she is not soft, but she is not reckless. This era is the era that pays the most attention to the number of etiquette, anyway, many people are not to blame, if they are caught because of the poor etiquette, then they are aggrieved.
"I heard that the second girl beat Mother Liu, who was waiting by her side, but is it true?" Wang didn't blame her first, Shui Qianqiu didn't deny it, and nodded directly and admitted: "I did it." ”
"As a woman from an official family, how can you beat people and do such a vulgar thing? As a young lady, you should follow the rules everywhere, you know? Wang called Liu's mother over, and Shui Qianqiu answered: "What Madam said is, it's just that the young lady of any family won't be called around by a person, right?" In the past, Liu's mother saw that I was a bully, either asking me to wash clothes or cooking, and took our family's money and bullied and insulted me as a young lady, I don't know what the rules are? ”
"I beat her to make an example of chickens and monkeys, our daughter of Shuifu is not something that any cat or dog can bully. A subordinate turned over and rode to the master's head, madam, do you say you should fight or not? ”
Mother Liu reacted quickly and knelt down directly, tugging on Wang's clothes and crying: "Madame is wronged, the old slave is diligent and diligent, where do you dare to neglect the second miss?" However, the second lady made things difficult for the old slave everywhere, and the old slave had been working in the house for so long, it was the first time that he had been wronged so much, and he asked his wife to be the master. ”
Shui Qianqiu stood aside and watched her perform quietly, and when she finished crying and shouting, she still didn't wait for Wang to speak, she opened her mouth first: "Madam, this Diao slave deducts the monthly case given to me in the house every month, there is just one thing, I don't know, I don't know if it was made by Mrs. or this Diao woman, I eat coarse rice and vegetable leaves for three meals a day, and I am so clear and watery every day." ”
"If Madame can't tolerate me, the child of the first lady, I'll just move out myself. My mother also left me a few Zhuangzi shops before her death, and it is also a way to live by herself, which is better than being bitten by a wicked woman now, and still not having enough food and clothing. ”
Shui Qianqiu looked at the group of people who had already been found and hooked her lips slightly, the appearance of these people happened to help her.
The head of the water father naturally heard this, touched the sweat on his forehead, looked at the prince beside him, and said: "It's all a family matter, let the prince see the joke." ”
Wen Beixu still didn't have any emotion, just looked at Shui Qianqiu's humble and arrogant appearance, and said lightly: "Lord Shui is favoritism, but I don't know if it's the same in officialdom." ”
One sentence made the water father beat a drum in his heart, and then stepped forward and frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "What kind of system has this become? Look at how shabby the clothes the second girl is wearing, and everyone in this place is waiting, and there is such an old lady upside down? I didn't know that you were so snub to the second girl in private! ”
Wang looked at Master Shui aggrievedly, his eyes turned to see Wen Beixu who was standing at the front of the crowd, and suddenly understood something in his heart.
"It's all the concubines who discipline their subordinates, which makes them have the courage to commit crimes. The concubine disposed of her, and then bought more clothes for the second girl. ”
Shui Qianqiu looked at Master Shui very vigilantly, this person is abnormal, he is a demon, it may not be a good thing for him to speak to himself suddenly, she weighed it again and again and said: "I don't have to worry so much about Mrs., how can it be that I am tired of Mrs. because of my business." I'll choose a few of them myself, and I'm not a very particular person about the rest, so I just need to use them. ”
She turned to look at the water father, Ying Yingfu: "There is one thing that I still ask my father and wife to answer." ”
Father Shui couldn't figure out what the prince said, but he didn't want the prince to see that he was biased, so he nodded and said, "Say it." ”
"My daughter's place is far from the big kitchen, and even if the freshly prepared food is delivered, it is half cold. My daughter doesn't want to trouble the big kitchen to prepare a food box for me, so my daughter wants to open a small kitchen in her own yard, and as for rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, I can buy it myself. ”
Wang's exit wanted to be blocked, but he heard Master Shui nod and said, "Yes, you live in a bit of a different place, why don't you move to a closer yard?" As for rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, even if you go to the kitchen to get it, don't be wronged. ”
Shui Qianqiu shook her head, "Thank you for your father's kindness, but my daughter is used to living here, and she can't give up for a while." ”
"Then be whatever you want." Then he looked at the Wang family, frowned, and said, "Don't you sell such a slave who bullies the master?" ”
Wang immediately ordered someone to drag Liu's mother down to play the board, and Master Shui also coaxed the son of the world to leave here.
Shui Qianzi glared at her in the crowd, and Shui Qianqiu just returned a smile and went back.
Shui Qianqiu is only sixteen years old, she lived twenty or seven times in her previous life, and she will be afraid of her as a yellow-haired girl?
Her immediate priority is to hurry to the kitchen to get some rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, lest one of the tendons of Master Shui will be put back in place, and when the time comes, she will be hungry.
Shui Qianqiu didn't have anyone around for the time being, so she could only go to the kitchen by herself and ask for a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat to carry back, she found that the physical strength of this body was really not good, too weak.
She decided to stick to exercise in the future, preferably running in the morning and running in the evening, to keep fit. The advantage of living is probably that no one cares how you want to toss.
She ran back and forth several times before she stocked up the grain, and it didn't take long for the mother-in-law around the Wang family to bring a lot of maids over for her to choose.
Shui Qianqiu himself also understands that eighty percent of them are moles, so it doesn't matter whether they pick or don't pick them, they picked two and left them that were pleasing to the eye.
"Madame said, this rough maid has to buy it now, and I will send it to the second lady in a few days. Let's just do it now. ”
Shui Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
After sending off her mother-in-law, Shui Qianqiu looked at the two maids she picked and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The slightly taller and more beautiful one replied first: "The slave's name is Green Branch." ”
Another ordinary-looking one also replied, but he saluted before replying: "The slave's name is Akiba." ”
Shui Qianqiu raised her eyebrows as she watched her movements, and there was a faint satisfaction in her eyes - maybe she was really lucky to pick a rabbit out of the fox nest.
"Even after me, I hope that you will be faithful and honest, and I will not treat you harshly, unless you are treacherous. Of course, since ancient times, those who have been selling for glory have not ended well, so think about it. ”
Shui Qianqiu warned them a few words first, she knew that it might not be useful, but what should be said still had to be said, and she always had to give people a chance to choose, if something really happened in the future to sell for glory, she would also deal with them with a clear conscience, after all, she gave them a choice.
