Chapter 26: Shame
Old Madam Feng looked at the second wife, Xiao, with a cloudy expression.
Has she, the daughter-in-law, been housekeeper for a long time, forgotten who is the real master of the house, and her hand has reached out to the Cixin Hall!
Jiang seemed to be leaving, and the words made Old Madam Feng unable to help but be angry.
Why is it difficult for a good kitchen to be a ginger? Is it still the day when Jiang Qian comes back?
Obviously, it was Jiang Qian who gave Jiang Qian a look at her face in the Cixin Hall and spread it to Xiao, and Xiao gave Jiang Qian a little color.
Old Madam Feng is a person from the past, and she doesn't care much about this kind of backhouse method, but she can't bear it.
Jiang Qian didn't go to Yaxin Garden, but the Xiao family found Jiang Yi, doesn't this mean that the Xiao family knows everything about what happened in the Cixin Hall!
On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore, for a person like Old Madam Feng, who has a strong desire to control, this is absolutely unbearable.
The more Old Madam Feng thought about it, the more angry she became, she raised her hand and splashed the tea on Xiao's face, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not dead yet!" ”
The tea has been put to half temperature, and it is not hot to splash on the face, but Xiao is also an old man, and he has been a housekeeper for many years, and at this moment the tea on his face is flushed, and there are tea leaves hanging on his cheeks and sideburns.
"Old lady, your words made your daughter-in-law really embarrassed, I don't know what my daughter-in-law did not do well, and made you so angry......"
Old Madam Feng came to her senses, and looked at the embarrassed Xiao family, although most of the anger in her heart was out, she regretted it a little.
It's a little too much just now, after all, the Xiao family is in charge of the house, and even if you don't look at the Xiao family, you have to save some face for her two grandchildren.
"That's it, you go back, let Mrs. Liu's family go out of the house early tomorrow morning, don't block me again." Old Madam Feng softened her tone.
"The old lady is resting, and the daughter-in-law retreats first."
As soon as Xiao left, the huge hall of compassion was extremely quiet, and the needles could be heard.
Old Madam Feng swept her eyes at Feng's mother and the others, and said nothing.
The oppressive atmosphere made Feng's mother and the others unable to raise their heads, and sweat quietly soaked the clothes on their backs.
Mother Feng took the lead and knelt down, followed by Ah Fu and Ah Xi.
As for the other maids and maids, they are all kneeling outside, and they are not qualified to come in.
"Tell me, who is so talkative?" Old Madam Feng stretched out her hand and wanted to pick up the tea to drink, but halfway through her hand, she remembered that the cup of tea had been splashed on Xiao's face, and her face couldn't help but sink even more.
Seeing this, Ah Fu got up boldly, neatly changed a cup of new tea and brought it to Old Madam Feng, and then returned to his place and knelt down honestly.
Old Madam Feng took a sip of the teacup, although she was angry, she was still satisfied with Ah Fu's eyesight.
"No one admits it?" Old Madam Feng took another sip of tea, and her tone could no longer hear joy and anger.
But the more Old Madam Feng was like this, the more the subordinates who knelt on the ground felt a chill in their hearts.
Ah Xi finally couldn't bear the pressure, and kowtowed: "It's a servant...... The servant has a lot of mouths for a while......"
Seeing that she was one of the big girls beside her, Old Madam Feng tightened the corners of her lips, staring condescendingly at Ah Xi, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, without saying a word.
After such a while, Ah Xi's sideburns were already scattered: "After the second aunt and grandmother left, the little maid of Yaxin Yuan came to talk to the maid, and the maid thought that the second wife had a motherly heart for the second aunt and grandmother, so she couldn't help but say a few more words. Old lady, the servant knows that she is wrong, if the servant knows that it will cause such a big incident, she will not dare to talk nonsense even if she kills the servant......"
Ah Xi knocked her head a few more times, and her white and tender forehead was already purple and green: "The maid really knows that she is wrong, please ask the old lady to spare the maid, the maid will not dare to ...... again"
"That's enough."
Old Madam Feng spit out two words, and Ah Xi immediately stiffened and stopped kowtowing, looking at her in horror.
"From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the sewing room to do your work." Seeing that Ah Xi's forehead was blurred with flesh and blood, Old Madam Feng's heart softened and dispelled the idea of sending people out of the house.
"Thank you...... Mrs. Xie ...... "Ah Xi sat on the floor paralyzed, and everything was already in despair.
From a decent lady in the Mercy Hall to a maid in the needlework room, such a blow made her want to die immediately.
Ah Fu saw that Ah Xi's expression was a little wrong, and in the end he remembered the love between the two of them who grew up together, so he hurriedly pulled her and said, "Old lady, take Ah Xi down to clean up." ”
"Go ahead." After making a fuss, Old Madam Feng was also tired, and said coldly, "Mother Feng, these people will be handed over to you to beat, and those who have more mouths will be kicked out of the house in the future!" ”
On this night, the subordinates of the Mercy Hall seemed to be collectively silent, and they didn't dare to come out.
Yaxin Yuan is also not much better.
Xiao returned to his residence from the Cixin Hall in an embarrassed state, and as soon as he entered the house, he overturned the table, and the teapots and teacups on the table fell to the ground, and broken porcelain was splashed everywhere.
"What's going on?" Second Master Jiang happened to come in, and found that there was not even a place to put his feet, so he frowned and asked.
Xiao was embarrassed and aggrieved, and withdrew his subordinates to explain the situation.
"Confused!" After hearing this, Second Master Jiang immediately reprimanded, "What are you doing as an aunt to pinch your niece in such a trivial matter?" Spread the glow on your face? ”
Xiao's face was hot, and he hated: "Who knew that Jiang seemed to be so disrespectful of his face, he actually tore his face to compete with me." ”
Those mothers-in-law in other houses who are embarrassed by their concubines or stepmothers who are embarrassed by their original spouses, which one is not a trick on such a trivial matter?
Who dared to squeak among those girls who were pinched? Why can't it be her turn?
"Don't be unconvinced, you are a good match for four girls? Earlier, she had a good family affair, so she naturally cared about her reputation, but now it is different. ”
"How is it different?"
"The jar is broken." Speaking of Jiang, the second master Jiang was also not in a good mood.
He hadn't forgotten that day when he was squeezed by his niece in front of the treasury and couldn't speak.
Xiao Shi trembled his lips and waited to say more, but Second Master Jiang said coldly: "In short, that girl is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, you stay away from her!" ”
After the second master Jiang finished speaking, he looked at the old wife's face under the light and was more yellow than the tea leaves hanging on her sideburns.
Xiao didn't get a word of comfort from Second Master Jiang, but got a count, and watched his man sleep with a concubine, he was so angry that he trembled, and his eyes rolled to invite his henchman to whisper a few words.
The henchman nodded and quietly went out.
Jiang seemed to be the master and servant returning to the Begonia Residence, and Ah Man couldn't wait to ask: "Girl, how do you know that the old lady and the second wife dare not embarrass you?" ”
Jiang seemed to smile faintly: "Without him, if there is no desire, it is just rigid." ”
She didn't ask for anything, so she could naturally use the dowry left by her mother and ask her grandmother for a sky-high price. The grandmother was reluctant to give up using her mother's dowry for profit, and when she attacked her second aunt, of course, she could only watch from the sidelines.
As for the second aunt, I thought she was a girl without her mother's protection, and she recognized that she was thin-skinned and would use a tactful way to solve it. In this case, I'm afraid that the kitchen will stop before she can make a move, then she can only suffer this dumb loss.
It's a pity that the second aunt didn't know, she had already understood a long time ago that when people live in the world, face and dignity are two different things.
Face is not as important as living happily, and living happily cannot lose dignity!
"Sleep, we'll see tomorrow." Jiang seemed to signal Ah Man and the others to wait for her to wash.
Ah Man and Ah Qiao exchanged glances, and thought in unison: What will be the excitement tomorrow?
