Before he finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound, and he was slapped in the face. Chinese Mrs. Tong stared at her, her eyes seemed to be on fire, Ruan Mingdie was also suddenly silent, Caifeng was anxious next to her, and suddenly saw Ruan Mingdie stand up, and said coldly: "Mother only says that I am noble now, and I shouldn't think about being someone's concubine, but why weren't you a high-ranking official's concubine back then?" Didn't you also give your dad a continuation? Over the years, my grandfather's family has declined, and our Hou Mansion is not a hot magnate, why do you still hold on to your aristocratic dream? Mother, now that such a big thing has happened, you should wake up from your dream. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Mrs. Tong to speak, and turned around and walked out. Here Mrs. Tong was so angry that she couldn't move, Caifeng kept whispering and persuading, until she saw Ruan Mingdie's figure walking out, she came to the door, looked around, and then turned back and whispered to Mrs. Tong: "Don't be angry, Mrs., and let the slave interject, maybe ...... The girl's plan can't be said badly. ”

Mrs. Tong immediately glared at her, her eyes seemed to be about to eat people, and she said gloomily: "You also want my daughter to be a concubine for others?" Although the Hou Mansion has declined, she is also a nobleman, how can she say that she is also a concubine......"

Caifeng didn't wait for her to finish, then smiled and groaned: "Don't worry, wife, the girl is small and has little experience, what do you know?" When I saw the battle yesterday, I was frightened, thinking that our Hou Mansion was now a building collapse. It was supposed to be that way, but now it's different. Who would have thought that the little grandfather would interfere halfway? Hehe, no matter what, the little grandfather is willing to help this in the face of the uncle. That is, he still remembers the friendship between our Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion in the past, as long as he still remembers, our Hou Mansion may have a period of difficulty, but slowly he will always survive, Mrs., do you say this reason? ”

Mrs. Tong's frowning brows slowly relaxed, noncommittal to Caifeng's words, but her gaze moved to her face. He said in a deep voice: "So what? What does it have to do with the future of the Seven Girls? Don't you see it yet? That girl was so stunned that she ...... He even said such shameless words. ”

Caifeng hurriedly smiled: "Mrs. also came from a girl's time, as the saying goes, which girl doesn't have spring?" It's just that the little grandfather is such a wonderful person, why can't he help but be fascinated by the girl? Let the slave and maid see, this matter does not seem to be impossible. As long as we make good use of the friendship with the little grandfather, show a lot of goodwill, as the old saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Let's put down our bodies and show our goodwill, and the Guogong Mansion is also a kind person. must be embarrassed to be cold to us, in the future, the two families will slowly get closer, how dare they ensure that the seventh girl and the little grandfather can't succeed? The seventh girl is a yellow flower girl, and she is still the daughter of the Hou Mansion. Isn't it very insulting to make a continuation for the little grandfather? ”

Mrs. Tong let Caifeng say this, and she couldn't help but be ready to move. She is a mean and vicious woman, but she is not a smart person, and she has just relied on the pampering and connivance of the old marquis over the years. can monopolize power in the house, in fact, I don't know how many people chew their tongues behind their backs, and they are all dissatisfied with her. Otherwise. As long as she had a little scheming, she would never have made trouble to this point, and she actually threw away 200,000 silver in vain, so that she almost didn't even have a foothold in the Hou Mansion.

thought that in front of Su Mingxi that day, her performance was a little more unbearable than her daughter. It's just that after Su Mingxi refused, Fang put down this thought. At this time, let Caifeng say this, and then think of her daughter's appearance just now, it is clear that she has a deep love for Su Mingxi, and her mind can't help but become active again, and secretly says that women chase men in the interlayer veil, although the little grandfather has a good reputation, but he is also a man after all, right? Don't believe that a famous girl who is charming and has a noble background can't arouse a trace of his feelings? My butterfly is clearly a little more beautiful than her third sister.

When I think about it like this, my heart is even more moved. Thinking that once his daughter could really marry Su Mingxi, then his status in the family could be regained, and for a while, he felt that the depression in his chest was swept away, and at this time, Fang felt hungry, so he hurriedly took the porridge and ate it in one go.

Caifeng watched it from the side, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Mrs., that's right, what's the matter, the sky has fallen and there is a tall man on top, you can relax, the days to come are still long, after all, you are still the wife in charge of this Hou Mansion." ”

After finishing speaking, he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and saw a figure disappearing in a flicker at the corner of the house, and the color was clearly the color of the clothes that Ruan Mingdie was wearing just now. Caifeng understood in her heart, pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, although girls are valuable, but sometimes, being too reserved is also disliked by men, and now the seventh girl knows that her wife is relieved, she is a smart person, and she must know how to grasp this degree.

Asked the little maid to take the dishes and chopsticks, Caifeng returned to the room, only to see Mrs. Tong slowly drinking tea, a pair of eyes were shining with a long time not seen, seeing her come in, the woman said slowly: "Yesterday was too messy, I didn't have the heart to ask more, what's wrong?" I heard that the runaway woman came back? Hehe, it's funny, she still has the face to come back, it seems that I really underestimated her cheekiness. How is it? Did the little grandfather see her? Siqi is an idiot, at this time, why don't you hurry up and hug the big tree of the little grandfather, but let the woman come back? I'm afraid that the little grandfather originally wanted to use seven points of strength, but when he saw the woman, he refused to even give out one point. ”

Caifeng hurriedly smiled: "The slave maid has been serving his wife here, and the specific things are not very clear. I only heard that the woman came back, as if she brought some silver, and gave some back to the little grandfather on the spot, speaking of which, the little grandfather was also really generous, and when he saw the woman, he couldn't help but turn his face on the spot. It's just that when I walked out, I heard that my face was not good-looking. Look, Mrs., the uncle is indeed too reckless and confused, and the woman doesn't care about her face. Yes, it seems to say that yesterday I gave a few aunts a dismount in public, tsk, Mrs., what is this called? She did such a shameless thing that day, and now when she comes back, not only does she not admit her mistake, but she shows off her might. The women in the back house really let yesterday's incident be calm, and none of them came out to take her down, and they couldn't say that their wives had to come forward......"

Mrs. Tong waved her hand to stop Caifeng from talking further, and after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No hurry." Caifeng, this time my things are really too much, I'm afraid that now there is one person in this mansion, and everyone is eager to tear off my flesh, that is, the old man has a stroke, and he can't speak or write, otherwise, it is estimated that I will not even be able to eat and drink in such a place in the Hou Mansion at this time. At this juncture, the woman jumped out and just took away the hatred that others had for me. Let her make trouble slowly, and wait until she stirs up this back house in a miserable situation, and then we will go out to clean up the mess, and at that time, the people who have been bullied by her will not care about hating me, maybe I will take her, and those aunts don't know how to thank me. Hum! After all, this Hou Mansion is still the master's, as long as the master does not die, me and those aunts are her elders, and can she turn the sky upside down? ”

Caifeng thought about it carefully, couldn't help clapping her hands, and smiled with sincere admiration: "Gao, it's still too powerful, you can see it so clearly." The slave and maid are really confused, but fortunately, the slave and maid are just loyal to their wives, thinking that they must not let the power in their hands be cheaper for others. ”

"Humph! You're going to be a trick. Mrs. Tong pretended to snort coldly, but a smile bloomed on her face...... This is the roster of the Hou Mansion's subordinates, and this is the account book. I looked at it with your sister-in-law last night, and there are only one hundred and six taels of money left on the account, and some of the antiques in my father and I have not been given by the wife with long paws, if it is out, how can I make up one or two thousand taels of silver, and in addition, the two thousand taels of silver that I have saved up cannot be given to my sister at this time, so I took them out and kept them to get through this difficulty. ”

Ruan Siqi pushed the account book and roster in front of Ruan Yunsi, and said solemnly: "It's almost the New Year, this money can't be touched anymore, and the people who are in contact during the New Year, I'm afraid that a few thousand taels of silver is not enough, not to mention that we ourselves are not the New Year?" In previous years, I didn't say anything else, just said that the red envelopes and New Year's clothes and monthly money for the people were given, which cost seven or eight hundred silver, and this was only the people, didn't the masters make new clothes? Don't hit gold jewelry? Which of those aunts is a good friend? ”

Ruan Yunsi flipped through the ledger and roster, and nodded slowly as she listened to her brother. Suddenly, I heard Gu Shi say: "Sister, our family is really stretched thin now, I discussed with your brother, it is better to cut some people, this year we have no rent in the land to collect, let alone those grange filial piety New Year's gifts, but this clan, there are always hundreds of people, in previous years, every household had to send things, what can we do this year?" Alas! It's a big headache to think about. ”

Ruan Yunsi closed the roster and said lightly: "Our family has never used long and short jobs, and now the people in the house are all servants and children of the family, and now my brother and sister-in-law say that they want to be cut, but where do they go?" What's more, it's just more than 200 people, which is not a lot in the rich and noble family, and they are all people who should be used, if it is cut, it will make people see the joke, and the Hou Mansion can't let people see this joke at this time. ”

Ruan Siqi sighed: "I don't know what you said? It's just this...... Now I am really as big as a fight, people say that a penny is hard to kill a hero, and now we obviously have a few thousand silver, but I feel that it is not enough. The east is also a hole, and the west is also a hole, which ...... I still owe money to the little grandfather. ”RQ
