Chapter 12, The Maid
Aunt Wu's mother and daughter didn't realize that this was wrong at this time, Aunt Wu only thought that Xie Shi, the lady of the five-room main room, gave her a dismount, thinking in her heart, although her son is not a son-in-law, but he is the eldest son of the five-room house, and it will be her son who will inherit the fifth room in the future.
Although Aunt Wu was reluctant to squeeze together with the maids in the room, she thought that it would not be long before her son would be the young master of the fifth room, and when the time came, Xie's wife would have to look at her son's face to live, and she would definitely let Xie taste the taste of today········
Aunt Wu didn't even want Xie to go to live with the Tongfang maids at that time, and she didn't even want Xie to stay in the Pingguo Mansion at that time, her plan was to find a reason to send the four Xie's mother and daughter to Zhuangzi, everything depended on her mood, because she thought like this, so Aunt Wu was very happy and went to the backyard with the Tongfang maids, without the slightest reluctance before.
And a few of the maids in the fifth room, I saw Aunt Wu very reluctant before, how can I be so happy at this time, one by one are inexplicable, these maids in the room, most of them are the descendants of the fifth room, because they are beautiful, so they were accepted by the fifth young master Su Minghua, because they did not give birth to children, so they were not raised to be an aunt, and now they are still the identity of the maids, and Su Minghua is now suddenly dead, these maids have only three ends, and the best is to be sent to the shop outside the house to work, The second is to be sent to Zhuangzi, but for the rest of his life, and the worst is to be sold.
According to the rules of the Dashun Dynasty, the general big families will not easily sell their maids, unless they are traitors to the master, or they have embezzled the money of the lord's family or something, and these people who are sold will end badly, or they will be reduced to ordinary people, worried about food and clothing, and most of them who are beautiful like the maids in the house have fallen into prostitution, leaning on the door to laugh and work hard.
For this reason, after Su Minghua died, these maids were worried about their future, whether they were willing to go to the shop outside the house to do things, or be sent to Zhuangzi, but they were also unwilling to be sold, and the situation of the fifth room was very special, Mrs. Xie did not give birth to a son-in-law, and the eldest son was born by this Aunt Wu, these maids were a little undecided, I don't know whether to please the one, is it Mrs. Xie, or Aunt Wu?
"Aunt Wu, this is the house you live in, the house is a little old, it is not as good as you and the young master living in office, please forgive me!" Responsible for taking Aunt Wu to the backyard is a mother-in-law next to the Xie family, who is called Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's family is the companion room brought by the Xie family from her mother's house, and she is naturally loyal to the Xie family.
In the past, because of Aunt Wu's reasons, the Xie family fell out of favor, and they couldn't even follow the fifth young master to take office, so the subordinates who served the Xie family were quite complaining about Aunt Wu.
Of course, Mrs. Li did this, not at the behest of the Xie family, although the Xie family is a merchant girl, but her maternal grandfather's family, but the famous family of the previous dynasty, but to the Xie mother's generation, somehow suffered a catastrophe, leaving only the Xie family's mother, and the original Xie family's wealth, half of it was because of the Xie family's mother, Xie was taught by his mother, and as the wife of the fifth room, there is no need to treat an aunt like this.
Mrs. Li did this, just to please the Xie family, of course, if the Xie family knew, she would definitely be happy, after all, she was not unable to compete with Aunt Wu before, but she was unwilling to fight with her, and now Aunt Wu's daughter almost killed her daughter, Xie decided that she would not let Aunt Wu have a good time in the future.
Speaking of Aunt Wu, although her maiden family is an official eunuch, and her aunt is the sixth aunt of Pingguo Gong, when she married into the fifth room of the Su family as a concubine, it was also considered ten miles of red makeup, but it is a pity that Aunt Wu is not a person who can run a business.
And Aunt Wu's dowry, a large part of which was deceived by Su Minghua, Su Minghua took Aunt Wu in office for many years, and has been snubbing Xie's wife, and officialdom is indispensable for entertainment or something, Xie is far away in Lin'an City, far from the water can not solve the near fire, and every time Su Minghua finds an excuse to take money from Xie, Xie will ask clearly, and also make accounts on the account book of the fifth room, over time, Su Minghua will no longer Wen Xie take money, but take money from Aunt Wu, By the time Aunt Wu realized that she only had a few worthless Zhuangzi in her hands, it was too late!
"Ahem, what kind of house is this, how can I let my aunt live in such a house?" Aunt Wu and the subordinates who served her pushed open the door, and they were choked by the falling ash and coughed, Aunt Wu's face was very embarrassed, and Aunt Wu's nurse Mrs. Zhou immediately shouted at this time.
Mrs. Zhou is Aunt Wu's nurse from childhood to adulthood, watching Aunt Wu grow up, and watching Aunt Wu marry from an official lady to the fifth room of the Pingguo Mansion as a concubine, and then watching Aunt Wu's life over the years, so seeing this dusty house at this time, I feel worthless for my own young lady, and it is inevitable that I will be angry in my heart.
Mrs. Zhou felt worthless for Aunt Wu, but she didn't think that it was Aunt Wu who rushed to be a concubine herself, and just eight years ago, Aunt Wu had just given birth to a son.
At that time, Xie still cared about Su Minghua's husband, after all, this is her lifelong dependence, although she gave birth to two daughters before, but she still hopes to have a son, and at that time, Aunt Wu gave birth to a son, showing off her might, Xie was angry, and lost the child in her belly, Xie will never forget that Aunt Wu came to show off her power in front of her, Su Minghua didn't even look at herself after she came, so she took Aunt Wu and left, and since then, Xie has never had any hope, After that, even after giving birth to Su Jingui's little daughter again two years later, Xie did not have any feelings for Su Minghua anymore, and this is also the reason why Xie needed to pretend to be heartbroken after learning that Su Minghua had died.
