Chapter 25: Counterattack
When the eldest lady came home in the evening, she was already tired.
When the body is tired, the heart is even more tired.
After Zhuang Xinchuan left, Jiang Duyun, the bookkeeper, came over and told her that Zhuang Xinchuan had taken away 50 taels of silver in the name of inviting guests to eat and drink.
In Yangcheng, a decent table of two taels of silver is enough, and he took away 50 taels, just afraid that he would spend all day drinking with a group of fox friends and dog friends. He hadn't been so presumptuous before, but in recent years, as he got older, he became more and more bold, how could he be allowed to go on like this?
At that time, the eldest lady explained to the Jiang steward that in the future, if the account room withdraws more than 20 taels of silver, she must hold the sign issued by her.
Jiang Steward Jiang Duyun is her subordinate who married over, and when she was at home, she followed her father to do business, and she was literate and knowledgeable, so she was her right-hand man. Soon after marrying into the banker's family, she married Yueniang to him. Both husbands and wives were loyal to her, so she entrusted the accounts to him.
Only he will faithfully obey her instructions, otherwise who would dare to offend the future boss if he were any of them?
It's just that in this way, there is another toss in the second room.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady only felt upset and irritable for a while, and turned around to explain to Yueniang, canceling tonight's fainting.
Yueniang knew that the eldest lady was a little unwell, so while asking people to go to each room to report the news, she called two second-class girls Chunlan, and Chuncao came in to serve the wife to rest and change clothes.
In the Juxiang Courtyard, the second aunt and wife heard the words from the eldest lady, sneered, turned her head and instructed the maid: "Change my clothes, I want to go to Qingyin Courtyard." ”
Seiyin Temple is the courtyard of the eldest lady.
Mother Feng, a mother-in-law in her forties, came over and helped the second aunt to sit in front of the dresser, calling Ling'er and Lan Xiang to bring the clothes over while helping the second aunt to fix her hair.
She put a little emerald brocade feather pearl hairpin on the second aunt's wife, and said, "Auntie, isn't the wife unwell and canceled the fainting?" Auntie, this is ......."
Mother Feng is Aunt Li's mother who came over, and she is the most powerful person around Aunt Li.
Hearing Mother Feng say this, Aunt Li looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, "She is uncomfortable, she wants to rest, I prefer to quarrel with her and disturb her, just to force her to make a decision when she is most uncomfortable!" ”
Mother Feng understood Aunt Li's words after a little thought, she smiled and said, "Aunt is really a good plan!" After speaking, he took the blue brocade gown handed over by Lan Xiang and put it on for his aunt.
The group marched towards the Qingyin Temple.
Here, Qin Tian knew that his wife was already suspicious of herself, and she was paying attention to herself all the time at this time, she was secretly vigilant, paying more attention to her words and deeds, and did not dare to show the slightest frivolity, which made her look down on herself, thinking that she was a person who couldn't get on the stage and couldn't hold her breath.
After she came back, she still did what she should do, she didn't mention today's events to anyone, and she was still a cautious and smiling little girl on weekdays.
Just as she and Dan'er were sweeping the yard together, she saw Aunt Li and her party walking towards here from the other side.
Qin Tian knew that his wife had canceled the fainting, and he also knew that his wife was unwell, so he couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, and hurriedly notified Cuiwei and asked her to tell Yueniang.
When Yueniang got the news out, Aunt Li happened to take a group of people into the courtyard.
Yueniang greeted her, stood in front of Aunt Li, blessed Aunt Li, and said with a smile: "Didn't the second aunt receive the message from the slave maid, Mrs. Li is tired today, and she canceled her fainting." ”
Aunt Li glanced at Yueniang and forced her to take a step forward, "I have important things to discuss with my sister today, I can't delay, Yueniang, you go and pass it on, after discussing it earlier, my wife should rest early." ”
It's okay usually, but today's wife is not feeling well, where can she be angry with Mrs. Yueniang didn't give an inch, blocked the intersection, and still had a smile on her face: "Second aunt, Mrs. has something to do, come back tomorrow, Mrs. has already laid down." ”
Cuiwei on the side and another first-class maid Yuhuan and the other two second-class maids Bisi, Bihe saw this and walked over and stood beside Yueniang, blocking the road, some of the rest of the little girls in the yard were afraid of Aunt Li and did not dare to move, some people were in a dilemma, they were not like Yueniang Cuiwei, they were the right-hand people around the eldest lady, Aunt Li couldn't move easily, they were just little girls, and it was easy for Aunt Li to clean them up.
Qin Tian was actually quite sympathetic to the eldest lady's situation, and he didn't like Aunt Li's arrogance and domineering. But seeing that the other little girls didn't move, and seeing that Yueniang didn't have more than her, she didn't want to be independent of the little girls, so she and Dan'er took a broom and stood aside.
Aunt Li gave Mother Feng a look beside her, Mother Feng and Ling'er stepped forward with several daughters-in-law, and used their bodies to force a way between Yueniang, and then turned around to resist Yueniang and they opened the way for Aunt Li.
Yueniang was knocked away by them, and couldn't help but drink in anger: "What are you doing here, do you want to break in?" Do you still have a wife in your eyes? ”
Aunt Li sneered: "Look at what Yueniang said, I said that I have something important to discuss with my sister!" The two of us are discussing matters, and one of your subordinates has the courage to intervene, it's really ridiculous, and I don't know how my sister controls her subordinates! ”
As he spoke, he pinched the handkerchief and rushed in.
Yueniang and Cuiwei wanted to stop them but were stopped by Feng's mother and their big fat bodies, in a hurry, Yueniang turned her head and ordered the girls in the yard, "Are you dead?" Don't stop them yet! ”
The little girls were instructed to rush up together, but the girls on Aunt Li's side were not vegetarians, and they soon twisted into a ball with the little girls.
Qin Tian didn't rush up to do this useless thing, seeing that Aunt Li was about to break into the house, he suddenly had an idea, took a few steps forward, picked up the broom in his hand and waved it vigorously on the ground, the weather has been dry these days, and there is a lot of dust on the ground.
Dan'er next to him also concocted the same method, the dust spread faster and more violently, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and cough, where can they still care about scuffling, for a while they fanned with their hands, fanned with a handkerchief, covered their mouths and coughed, wiped their eyes, pinched their noses, scolded, screamed, you pushed my mulberry, it was a mess.
But it also succeeded in stopping Aunt Li's footsteps. Because Qin Tian swept in the direction of Aunt Li, she was the most severely affected, her whole body was gray, her tears flowed, and she coughed breathlessly.
"Go back, go back!" Aunt Li regained her breath, and finally shouted at the top of her voice, before the words fell, she coughed again, Mother Feng helped her, and fled with a group of people, so many people almost coughed all the way back!
Yueniang looked at their embarrassed figures, remembering that it was the first time in so many years that she had won so happily, and she couldn't care about the ashes in the yard, so she covered her stomach and laughed. They also laughed.
Yueniang laughed for a while, and then remembered that the eldest lady was still resting, and hurriedly ordered everyone to shut up.
"Madame, I'm afraid I've been woken up at this time." Cui said in a whisper.
Yueniang remembered that there was such a big commotion just now, and she thought that she was already arguing with her wife. She patted the ashes on her body, turned around and walked towards the inner room, took two steps, remembered today's great hero, turned around and went to Qin Tian's side, patted her shoulder, and praised: "Good girl, good job!" ”
Cuiwei and Yuhuan were also so happy that they touched Qin Tian and Dan'er's heads, and the maids next to them were angry with Aunt Li just now, and at this time, Qin Tian's move could be regarded as a breath of relief for everyone, because no one would be jealous or unhappy, and they all praised Qin Tian sincerely.
The maids all gathered around, patting each other's ashes, and whispering about the joy of the battle just now.
And Yueniang was worried about her wife and quietly entered the inner room.
When I went in, I saw my wife lying on the bed, sleeping deeply.
Yueniang asked Chuncao Chunxiang, who was waiting beside her, "Mrs. hasn't woken up?" ”
Chuncao glanced at his wife, lowered his voice and said, "No, we are still very worried, but my wife has been sleeping very deeply, and she has not been woken up at all." ”
Yueniang walked to the side of Mrs. Bed, looking at Mrs. Sleep's frowning brows, she felt a little distressed, she sighed long: "Mrs. is too tired......"
