Chapter 214: Clever Words

Since Manru can serve ginseng tea. The tea on the table has not been broken, it can be seen that someone is on an errand in the tea room, so what is going on with the water now?!

Chunying's mind was in a flash, and she had already retreated from the window, and heard An Shi ask: "Where is the water?!" Then he replied casually: "Madam, please rest assured, it's the water that has taken place in the tea room, and it's still far from here." Catching a glimpse of Manru looking at her pleadingly, she ignored it and looked away.

An Shi calmed down a little, and then said angrily: "Did anyone go to put out the fire?" Tell someone to go and see what's going on! Have all the people in the teahouse died?! Mrs. Shilang secretly pressed her hand, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and coughed twice in disguise, and called Manru: "You go and ask, what are the people doing in the tea room?!" Manru hurriedly answered.

How can this be found? Chun Ying's eyes showed a hint of mockery. As a result of the report, it must be someone else who made the mistake, right? She's done a lot of this kind of thing!

An Shi calmed down a little, and felt that he was a little out of shape, in front of so many female guests, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly comforted everyone softly: "It's just a small matter, please don't panic." Autumn nights are long, so you might as well have some snacks. He also motioned to the housekeeper by the door to bring fresh snacks quickly.

The fire quickly disappeared, and the smell of burnt fire gradually dissipated as soon as the autumn wind blew it. After the servants came to report that the fire had been extinguished, everyone in the hall calmed down, but there was no longer the interest of Fang Cai, and several of the older guests were stroking their chests with pale faces, and the younger ones were also talking in private about what had happened to the Hou Mansion tonight. The old lady sat on the front seat, her face was very unpleasant, and she glanced at An's and was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's response.

After a while, the housekeeper lady who had just gone out to inquire came back, hurriedly walked to An Shi's side and whispered: "It was the young master of the Liang family who was drunk, and somehow quarreled with others, and broke the table." The second young master came out to toast, and when he saw this, he went to persuade him, but he scolded him for a lot of ugly words, and he was punched, almost turning his face, and the Hou Ye came forward to persuade him. ”

An Shi glanced at the wives and grandmothers who came to listen with their ears around, and asked through gritted teeth, "What does the Liang family mean by this?!" rushed to beg our family to have a happy event, and made such a fuss in front of everyone, is this to show the face of our Anguo Marquis Mansion? ! ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to answer, and retreated. Everyone here is a family that has some friendship with the Hou Mansion, so they have naturally heard of the origin of the royal marriage between the groom and the bride. I have also heard of the beauty and fame of the bride back then, and I know in my heart that the Qingguo Marquis Mansion is not kind first, and the Liang family must feel that they have suffered a loss, but Liang Taishi has fallen behind in the court and took the initiative to complete the marriage, which is also well known. The Marquis of Qingguo's Mansion is now somewhat reluctant to this family matter, but it is just an obstacle to the holy decree. Which one suffers more here, no one can say, Mrs. Qingguohou's words are just to save face for her own family. The female guests exchanged glances with each other, but they were silent.

The hustle and bustle on the table outside has calmed down, but the Qingguo Marquis Mansion has somewhat lost face, and when An's sent the guests away, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and when the guests left, he turned back to the main hall and asked: "What's the fire in the tea room?!" ”

Man Ruzao waited on the side, and replied cautiously: "If you go back to Mrs., the people in the tea room don't know how to burn it, but according to others. The young master of the Liang family once asked for directions at that time, saying that he was going to the teahouse to ask for hangover tea and give it to the young master of his family, presumably caused by the little guy's accident. Now that the people of the Liang family are gone, what are the details...... It's really hard to find. ”

An's anger came up at once: "If you want hangover tea, you won't ask for it with our family?!" What are Baba doing in the tea room?! Are all the people guarding the second gate dead? How can you put people in?! ”

Man Ru hurriedly knelt down and said: "At that time, there was already a commotion ahead, that Young Master Liang was very drunk, and he desperately rushed to the backyard, saying that he was going to bring his sister back, and everyone went to stop him, presumably that little guy came in at that time." ”

At this time, Chen Lang's family brought their daughter-in-law Mei Xiang, wiped her tears and said back: "Madam, Xiao'er Ping'an was pushed by him in order to stop the young master Liang, and he hit the steps, and his head was broken. Mei Xiang followed and kowtowed.

For the first time, An was taken aback when he heard that Ping An was injured: "What else is this asking for?" Hurry up and get a doctor?! The daughter-in-law next to her hurriedly answered, and An comforted the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a few words before letting them leave.

Manru rolled his eyes, stepped forward and persuaded softly: "Madam, Xiao Chen's steward is in charge of the banquet in front of him, and he is seriously injured, which shows how chaotic it was at that time. This is obviously the young master of the Liang family deliberately making trouble, his status is precious, how dare the people guarding the door stop him? I also asked my wife to spare their lives, and if they were to be punished, they would be dismissed from their errands. ”

An sighed: "I didn't stop anyone." It's a dereliction of duty! It's just an errand, it's already light! In front of the Liang family, everyone saw it, no wonder our family, but the teahouse went to the water, but it was a big loss of face for the Hou Mansion! There are obviously people guarding there, and they have asked people to take advantage of loopholes, isn't this a joke that people are not good at my housekeeping?! ”

Manru's heart jumped heavily, and she hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Mrs. Rong! The slave's maid was originally on an errand in the tea room, and she should have stayed there tonight, because she was accidentally burned by someone else this morning, and the slave and maid were afraid of delaying the master's business, so she took her place and guarded the stove in the tea room. But the seventh sister-in-law Wang who was on an errand there said that she didn't need me, so she drove me to the front to do chores. I thought that there were so many people at the banquet, and Sister Peony was not good at serving in front of them, and the wife had to greet the guests and serve the old lady, where could she take care of herself? If you are thirsty, tired, or out of food, you want to taste something light. There's no one waiting, so how do you make it? Therefore the slave and maid dared to come and see if there was any place where the slave and maid could be used, and only asked the wife to be comfortable. But the slave and maid never imagined that someone would go to the teahouse and set fire, and the slave and maid would die, please punish the wife! He kowtowed a few times.

An was originally a little angry when he heard this, but later, he gradually subsided: "Get up, I know you are an honest child, how do you know that those people in the tea room are tired?!" Where do they not need you? It's clear that I kicked you out on purpose! Poor to see. I don't know where you're in the way of those people's eyes! When Manru got up, she said again: "I look at your appearance, do you think the injury is all right?" Why didn't you go home on an errand? Youge is waiting for someone to call in the children's home, and I don't want to come in! Before, Miss Huo arranged for her to wait for her manpower, and a few of them came from Brother You's children's hospital, so I asked them to go back and wait, and now the shortage is full, so why don't you stay in my house for the time being. ”

Man Ru was stunned at first, and secretly hated in his heart, but thinking that the third young master did not treat him very well, even if he went back, he only needed to kick himself again, and he would have to go home and be idle, it was better to stay with his wife, and coax his wife to be happy in the future, and give himself to the third young master as a concubine. She settled down for a moment, and saluted happily: "This is the blessing of the slave and maid, Mrs. Xie's grace." ”

Seeing this, An felt that she was not a person who coveted identity and power and blindly wanted to be her son and aunt, so he looked up to her a few points.

Peony hurriedly entered the door, and when she saw Manru present, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, and she replied to An's family: "Mrs., Master Hou has sent a message from the other side, saying that tonight's incident does not need to be investigated, and the family members who should be dealt with are just that." ”

An Shi frowned: "What does this mean?" Then the Liang family gave us the Hou Mansion a big faceless, so forget it?! His little guy set fire to the tea room, and we can't even ask people to teach a lesson?! ”

Peony said in a low voice: "Madam, the Hou Ye has his own opinions, and the third master of the Fan family is in front of him, saying that he can go to the palace to reason." To put it bluntly, it was the fault of the Liang family, but it was a marriage given by the emperor, and it was a big trouble, the emperor's face was not good-looking, and the in-laws would have to deal with each other in the future. ”

When it comes to business, An also knew that he couldn't go against his husband's wishes, so he sulked for a while with a straight face, and then spoke to deal with the tea room and the doorkeeper. Manru was worried, and stepped forward and begged in a low voice: "Madam, sister-in-law Wang didn't mean it, who doesn't have a negligent time?" She didn't expect the people of the Liang family to be so bad-hearted, ran to the tea room with few people, and set fire to it without saying a word, she just walked away for a while, and his wife spared her. ”

She didn't say anything, but as soon as she said An's, she became even more angry, and sneered: "Do you have to say hello first when people set fires?!" She was lazy today, and someone burned the teahouse, if Ming'er was someone else burned my yard, the old lady's yard, then what to say?! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and when I saw that it was surnamed Wang, I was not welcome, so I ordered Peony: "Ask someone to give me forty boards!" After the fight, she was thrown out, and she was not allowed to come in and wait again! ”

Peony couldn't bear to hear it: "Madam, Wang Qi's family has been burned...... Manru hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, madam, why don't you write it down first?" After she recovers from her injuries, she will be beaten again, but she is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and it is somewhat in the face of the second young master and the head of Wang. An Shi said angrily: "Shut up for me!" What is the face of the Wang family? But a minion! Hit me hard! ”

Peony glanced at Man Ru coldly, lowered her head and asked: "Madam, there is more than one person left in the tea room, except for Wang Qi's family, there should be other talents, but now there is no trace, I look a little strange, do you want to find out?" If the matter of walking in the water is related to that person, he should also be punished. ”

Manru's heart tightened, and she knelt on the ground. Peony was taken aback when she saw this, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

An naturally understood that this was talking about Manru, so he waved his hand: "I know that this matter has nothing to do with that person, it is all the fault of the Wang Qi family!" No need to mention it again. Manru will be on an errand in the main courtyard in the future, you must get along well. ”

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Manru's eyes, Peony hesitated, and her mouth answered, but she turned around and stared at Manru a few times before turning around and leaving.

Manru pursed her lips, put on a smile again, and softly persuaded An's: "Madam, don't be angry, your body is important......"

Not to mention how Manru flattered An's, Chun Ying and the other girls, after sending off the guests, they hurriedly packed up the tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates in the hall, and were busy until midnight, before they gasped and returned to their residences.

After returning to the room in the dark, after a hasty wash, Chunying was so tired that she fell asleep, and it was not until she got up the next morning that she had the energy to tell Shi'er about last night's experience, especially focusing on Manru: "What do you say she is going to make trouble again?" Is it really that important to flatter in front of your wife? You see, isn't that going to get you in trouble? I've heard that someone has been burned, but I don't know who it is, whether it's serious or not. Such a big thing, Manru can't escape this time, right? ”

Shi'er sneered: "Who told her to be unobedient?" I want to show my face in front of the master's house all day long. Should! This time, even her mother was unlucky, saving her from pretending to be a good sister and dangling in front of my family all day long! ”

Chunying smiled dumbly. She had heard that Manru's mother and daughter had moved back to their original compound a month ago, and they still lived in that small house, and the people around them did not like to see them. Shi'er is different from the Lu family, the family has not moved away, and the chance of meeting Manru has increased, knowing who she is, and watching her pretend to be a sister in front of her, it must be very depressing, right?

Ju'er shouted outside: "Chunying, Shi'er, Miss is going out, you guys hurry up." Chunying responded, and hurriedly helped Shi'er tidy up her skirt, and the two went to the upper room together, as usual, waiting for Huo Yi to go to the old lady's yard to say goodbye.

When they arrived at the old lady's house, Jing's, Yijun, and Xijun all arrived, Huo Yi greeted his grandmother, and greeted them in turn, but after everyone sat down, they felt a little strange.

It's already morning time (7 to 9 o'clock in the morning), why haven't the newcomers come to say hello yet?

(To disappoint everyone, Manru hasn't received a boxed lunch yet...... ）。.。
