Chapter 192: Checks and Balances
Chapter 192 Checks and Balances
The eldest lady's words were very serious, and no one in the room made a sound for a while.
"Mrs. cares so much about the second master and the daughter-in-law's heirs, how can the daughter-in-law not be careful. Not so much now than it was a while ago. This time, the Imperial Doctor came to see it, and said that he could walk around. The fourth master was promoted to governor, and I was really happy, where to sit in the house. The old lady is here, and it is not far away, so I deliberately sat in a soft bag. Please don't worry about me. ”
Grandma Qi stood up and smiled at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady snorted coldly, she always knew that her daughter-in-law had a clever mouth, and black could be said to be white.
"Even so, you should be careful." Rong spoke up.
"Yes, old lady. I let them hold me when I walk now. Grandma Qi smiled at Rong again.
Just now, she was discussing with Dong'er in the Pomegranate Courtyard about Qi Yu's foreign appointment, and Mama Zhang came to her and told her about the eldest lady's coming to fight for the housekeeping rights.
"Now there is really no way, if the second grandmother doesn't think of a way, this eldest lady housekeeper can be decided." Mama Zhang said.
"I'll have to go." She had no choice but to say so.
Actually, she knew it very well in her heart. Second Mrs. Qi sent Mama Zhang to ask her to come forward, but she didn't say it directly because she was protecting the fetus. Besides, this matter is directly related to her interests, and she can't sit idly by. If she doesn't come, she will lose the opportunity to take back the power of the family, and if the eldest lady is in charge of the family, then she is afraid that her life will be difficult.
Therefore, knowing that she would offend the eldest lady when she came, she still came.
She also complained a little about Second Mrs. Qi, in order to keep Xun Qingran, she made these things. Think about it, if Xun Qingran stayed, a husband was outside, idle all day long, the resentment in her heart was accumulating more and more, and she still had the ability to be a housekeeper, and she used to manage it very well, and she was favored by the Rong family, but it was quite a threat to her. Of course, she didn't want Xun Qingran to stay.
"The fourth master is promoted, say hello to the old lady, say hello to the wife, and say hello to the fourth brother and sister." Second Lady Qi took a step and congratulated several people, and also showed that her body had recovered.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xun Qing said, got up, and helped Grandma Qi to sit down.
As soon as Grandma Qi sat down, she was only willing to gossip, but she refused to mention the matter of the housekeeper, nor did she mention whether Xun Qingran was released with Qi You. She only needs to show that she is in good health and can take care of the house, and if she offends people, she will wait for others to say.
Second Mrs. Qi waited for a while, but she didn't see Second Grandma Qi speak, so she had to start talking.
"You've come just in time. Your wife and I are discussing with the old lady who will be in charge of this house after the dyed girl leaves. Now that you are in good health, you will still be in charge according to the old lady's idea. With your juniors working hard, my eldest wife and I are just more leisurely. Second Lady Qi said.
Xun Qingran lowered her head and grinned secretly, calculating that the second lady of Qi saw the opportunity quickly, and no longer said that she wanted to leave her.
Second Grandma Qi was waiting for this sentence, "Listen to the orders of the two wives." ”
Second Mrs. Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but the eldest lady's face was a little unsightly.
"I'm too old to move, you are pregnant, you don't know how to give birth to maintenance, but you are competitive, if you are like the previous fetus, then you don't come to cry with me, even if I am not easy to explain in front of the master." The eldest lady said.
"Daughter-in-law naturally knows how to take good care. Besides, there are six younger sisters who can support a few days, and the wife must be fine at that time. How tired can the daughter-in-law be? If the daughter-in-law is unable to support it at that time, she will have to trouble the wife to come forward. I just hope that my wife can look at the face of the second master, look at the face of this unborn child, and be willing to come out to cook when the time comes. ”
Grandma Qi said very softly, and drew a cake for the eldest wife.
The eldest lady said that she couldn't say that the second grandmother Qi was unconvinced, and smiled angrily, "The second wife and the second grandmother really deserve to be two aunts and nephews, this body, if you don't say it well, it's not good, it's good to say it, it's okay to say it, I'm afraid that the panacea in this world can't do it, and I don't know if it's any treasure handed down by the Hou Mansion, can you be willing to take it out." ”
Second Lady Qi was a little sneering, but Second Grandma Qi was still laughing.
Xun Qingran desperately held back and didn't dare to laugh.
"Since the juniors are willing to contribute, let's just enjoy it." Second Lady Qi said to the eldest lady.
The housekeeper's power was taken back, and she was in a better mood, so she made a generous appearance.
The eldest lady wanted to sneer again.
"I'm talking about the excitement, and the old lady is in charge." Grandma Qi said.
Xun Qingran glanced at Qi Er's grandmother, and praised in her heart, she was really shrewd. And I also admire that Rong is quite calm.
"I was sleepy last night, and I fell asleep. Where did I go? Oh, yes, the second wife is sick again, so let's go to recuperate, don't worry about everything. The dyed girl has to follow Yu'er to take office, and the six girls can't miss the wedding date. Welcome the girl and rest for two more days. After this month, you will take over the affairs of the family. ”
Grandma Qi Er was grateful and hurriedly responded.
The eldest lady looked at Grandma Qi Er with hatred, her hands clenched into fists, she was busy in vain today, this aunt and nephew are really hateful.
Second Grandma Qi only pretended not to see it. When she came, she thought that she would offend the eldest lady. However, as long as her mother's family does not fall, and there are Rong and Second Lady Qi here, the eldest lady can't help her. Thinking like this, Second Grandma Qi smiled again.
"I usually think that the eldest lady has to take care of the eldest master, but I am afraid that there is no leisure...... Rong said.
"The daughter-in-law is busy coming, and although the old lady is assigned, I have nothing to do." The eldest lady was overjoyed.
Second Mrs. Qi and Second Grandma Qi were shocked, but Rong Shi is going to let the eldest lady take care of things?
Rong smiled and nodded, "Things are complicated in the house, you try to take care of one or two things first." Well, in this way, the clothes of the people in the house will be handed over to you to buy and purchase. There is also the errand of the laundry room, which is also in charge of you. In addition, the flowers and trees in this garden, buy and trim, you can finish the first two first, and then talk about the others. The rest of the things will continue to be done as they were. ”
Second Mrs. Qi felt her head buzz, the four-season clothes of hundreds of people in the house, this purchase has always been controlled by her, and she used the embroidery village purchased by her private house. The errand in the laundry room is not enough, and the flowers and trees are even more of a big batch, and they are also controlled by her and Grandma Qi. Rong not only cut her power, but also cut off her two inputs.
The eldest lady is a different scene, the errand of the laundry room is a little trivial, but she can manage a group of people. She also understands the inside story of the two shopping errands, and there is also a lot of oil and water in the clothes of the four seasons, and the purchase of flowers and trees is even more rich in oil and water. She must finish the first two sects first, so that the Rong family can hand over the latter one to her. And in addition to oil and water, these were originally in the hands of Second Lady Qi, and the Rong family personally entrusted them to her, which has a different meaning. She had to get things done.
The eldest lady couldn't stop talking.
………………
Ning Yuan was inside, and the citron put down the handkerchief in his hand, stood up, and walked to the door of the ear room.
"Sister Citron, where are you going?"
As soon as Citron stepped out of the ear room, Aster walked over from the side and greeted with a smile.
Citron smiled all over her face, "Don't go anywhere, come out and take a breath." ”
Aster grinned, "What is my sister busy with every day, there are always so many things to do, we are not as good as my sister." ”
"What stupid things to say, it's just that everything is for the sake of the master." Citron Road.
Aster looked at the citron with a grin, and had no intention of leaving.
The citron turned and went back to the chamber.
Aster also followed, saw the handkerchief on the bed, picked it up, and praised: "Sister's needlework is top-notch." ”
"But it's casually embroidered, it's for your own use." Citron said, a little absent-minded.
Xun Qingran took people to Yinianju, and he hasn't come back for so long, so he doesn't know if things have a result.
For the first time in a long time, Citron felt a little messed up in her heart.
Xun Qing went back to Xunfu, and Xiangxiu's family never came back, but came to a Xu Mama. She was arranged to live in the ear room on Kikyo's side. Xun Qingran treated her as usual on the surface, but she was far less comfortable than in the past. She was frightened, she was afraid that Xun Qingran would know something.
She felt it was time for her to speed up. This morning, she deliberately didn't go out with Xun Qingran, only said that she was doing needlework at home, and Xun Qingran didn't force her. After everyone left, she found an opportunity and went to the prayer hall again. She followed the familiar little girl to talk in the ear room, and when she saw a little father-in-law coming out of the second lady Qi's house, she found out that it was the virtuous concubine who sent her to see the second lady Qi. She still deliberately spoke outside the second lady of Qi, and sure enough, the second lady of Qi called her in.
She told the words she had prepared a long time ago to Second Lady Qi.
She was pleasantly surprised. Second Mrs. Qi really did as she wished, recognized her as a confidant, and said that she would separate Xun Qingran and Qi You, and only let her follow Qi You. At that time, she didn't expect that Qi Yu was going to be appointed as an official, but she still felt overjoyed.
Later, Xun Qingran came back and was called by Second Mrs. Qi, she was a little uneasy at that time, she was afraid that Xun Qingran would be angry with her if she knew about Second Mrs. Qi's arrangement. But she was not afraid, she not only became the confidant of Second Lady Qi, but also sent to Qi You by the old lady. As a result, Xun Qingran came back from the second lady of Qi, and just asked her briefly, and she was not suspicious. She was secretly glad that she was low and small in front of Xun Qingran, and those efforts were not in vain.
Later, the news came that Qi You had actually been released from the foreign post and promoted to a second-rank officer.
Only then did she know the plan of Second Mrs. Qi, it turned out that she wanted to leave Xun Qingran and let her and Qi You take office. Heavenly, she almost fainted with joy.
Everyone went to Yinianju, and she knew that they must be discussing this matter. She was anxious, but no one could confide in, so she only secretly prayed that Second Lady Qi could succeed, and she could do whatever she wanted.
"Sister Citron, what's wrong with you, I'm talking to you, why shouldn't you." Aster waved her hand in front of the citron's eyes.
Only then did Citron come back to her senses, restrain her mind, and broke out in a cold sweat for the gaffe just now. At this time, she must be more careful and not show the slightest flaw. There was a rain of blood flashing in front of him, and the good days were ahead, and they couldn't be ruined at the last moment.
Citron smiled and took the handkerchief from Aster's hand, "This embroidery is not good, I will dismantle it and re-embroider it." ”
"Why is it bad, I really like it."
"If you like, I'll give you this veil when it's embroidered." Citron Road.
"Really? Sister Citron, you are so good, no wonder it turns out that Cai Qin and Xiang Xiu both said that my sister is a very good person. ”
Citron's heart suddenly stopped beating a beat.
