Chapter 67: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict
When Zhiqiu heard that the second grandmother had plans to leave the house without permission, she was secretly shocked and hurriedly said:
"Second grandmother, don't have this kind of thought, if you let the eldest lady know, you will say that you don't abide by women's morals, and you must not pick the skin of the slave?"
Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu and began to study the book in his hand.
Zhiqiu saw that the second grandmother ignored her, and also lowered her head and began to embroider the purse, her second grandmother, kept saying that she had only learned female red since she was a child, and she did not read and write, but this female red only did it once in a while, so it is also called female red? She just said very mercilessly: "The second grandmother's female celebrity should also practice well." I haven't seen her move a finger again, but she works hard with those books every day, big characters, the second grandmother wants to study books, she has to guard the books, and she has to teach the words that she can't know, Zhiqiu is so depressed.
Seeing that the Tangram Festival is coming, the three girls' purses, handkerchiefs and other things have to be embroidered by the mother herself, but I haven't seen the second grandmother mention this, too anxious, but she is a maid, while being a teacher, she has to do these things for the second grandmother, the second grandmother does not do it, she has to do it as a slave, and she has to be greedy for a few blacks.
The two were busy with their own work, Zhixia and Zhidong pushed the door in a rage, Mengxi and Zhiqiu put down their work at the same time, Zhiqiu stood up, Mengxi also sat up straight, looking at the two of them.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that the two of them were disheveled, Mengxi and Zhiqiu asked at the same time.
Zhixia and Zhidong stepped forward to pounce on the second grandmother and knelt down:
"Ask the second grandmother to be the master of the slave!"
"Hurry up and say, what's going on" Mengxi said as he stretched out his hand to pull the two of them up.
"The second grandmother didn't know, the slave maid heard that the tea, rouge and other portions of each room this month have come down, the slave maid went to the aunt to get it, to the aunt, but the aunt said, when she sent someone to pick up the sub-cases in our yard, the grandmother in charge of distributing the items said, because the things of the master mother are better than the aunts, they haven't come down yet, let wait, the slave and the maid thought, how can there be a master and a mother has not arrived, so she will send the aunt's to the reason, the slave and the maid and Zhidong went to find Sun Mama theory, on the way the slave and the maid also heard, The second grandmother has two taels of bird's nest and other parts every month, but it has not come down, to grandma sun, the slave maid asked about it together, grandma Sun said, these examples are there, but this year's new goods have not yet arrived, and the ones for the aunt are Chen's, but the second grandmother is the master, and she is noble, and she can't take Chen's general, so it dragged it down, and the slave just went up to theorize two sentences, and it happened that the big girl Cuiping next to the eldest lady also went to get something, and said when she saw it, she didn't look at what her identity was, she had a few catties and a few taels, and she wanted to drink bird's nest, The slave maid saw that she said something ugly, so she stepped forward to theorize, and as soon as she said a few words, she asked the little maid beside her to beat the slave and maid, and begged the second grandmother to be the master of the slave and maid."
Zhixia said while crying, and Zhidong also echoed a few words from time to time.
"It's really unreasonable, it's too bullying, the second grandmother, let's go to the second master, although the second master doesn't spoil the second grandmother, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog, they treat the second grandmother like this, and they also hit the second master in the face, and the slave doesn't believe that the second master doesn't care about it? If the second master doesn't care, we will go back to the old lady directly, and the slaves and maids don't believe that such a big Xiao Mansion is gone, and there is no rule at all, and the master who carried in the sedan chair in the dignified manner let a few minions bully him."
When Zhiqiu heard this, his face flushed, and he said to the second grandmother.
Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu, and said in his heart, what are these words, am I just a dog? After thinking for a long time, Mengxi opened his mouth and said:
"Let's wait for this matter first, see what the eldest lady has to say, know that you have worked hard in summer and winter, go down to wash first, and take some medicine"
Seeing that the second grandmother said this, Zhiqiu also sat down with her head down, and when Zhixia and Zhidong went out, Zhiqiu said:
"The second grandmother will still have a long life in the house in the future, she can't be bullied like this, the second grandmother will not spoil the second grandmother, and then let these slaves be cheap, and in the future, in this mansion, there will be no second grandmother in the eyes of those people."
"Zhiqiu, I also understand this reason, it's just that I won't stay in this mansion for long......" Mengxi sighed and said quietly.
"Second grandma! …”
Zhiqiu looked at the second grandmother in surprise, and wanted to ask something, but was stopped by the second grandmother with her eyes.
"This matter, I said it today, you can remember it in your heart in the future, don't mention it again, there are some things that you don't need to know now, understand?"
Zhiqiu nodded and looked at the second grandmother distressedly.
"I told you last time, I'm going to leave this house sooner or later, and now I don't have the heart to fight, let your brother open a medicine hall, just so that we can have a place to go out of the house in the future, just say this thing, that slave dares to bully the master like this, there must be a hint from the master, I just thought about it, this is fine, they don't give it in the future, we simply don't want it, go out of the house to buy, so that you and Zhichun also have an excuse to go out of the house often, bring some things back and forth, others also think it is a daily use for me to buy, will not ask, It also happened to fulfill the matter of the medicine hall."
Is that okay too? Zhiqiu's big clear eyes sparkled at the second grandmother, this second grandmother is really a celestial person, so talented, this can also make her think of it, and then her eyes darkened:
"It's just that it's too bitter for the second grandmother, besides, how can we get out of the house so easily, unless the second grandmother is dismissed, but with the power of the Xiao family, if there is really that day, the second grandmother has only a dead end, grandma will not think about this in the future, the last time the slave maid also thought that grandma was just a momentary whim, grandma will still find a way to hold the second master's heart in the future."
Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu, no wonder you answered so much last time, I thought I was just talking, and I couldn't do it seriously. Knowing that it is not a matter of one or two days to reverse Zhiqiu's thoughts, take your time, so he said:
"I also know this reason, but it's better to make some preparations now, let's talk about it slowly in the future, come, help me freshen up first, go to the eldest lady to have a look"
Seeing Zhiqiu looking at her puzzled, Mengxi had no choice but to explain:
"This matter, since the eldest lady's people participated, why can't we pretend to be dumb, go to the eldest lady to apologize, see what she says, you also want to enlighten you when you are fine, don't let them feel too aggrieved, follow me, it's not easy, it's hard for you"
"Second grandmother, don't say that, it is a blessing for the slave to meet a master like you who knows pain and heat, and the slave knows what to do, but this Daoqian should also be humane and humble from the eldest wife."
Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu like an idiot, and said in his heart, dare to let the top boss give you a humble attitude, try, I'm afraid that you will be laid off tomorrow, and if you don't, you will immediately throw over a few pairs of small shoes for you to wear!
Slowly came to the dresser and sat down, Zhiqiu saw this and hurriedly went out to order someone to fetch water, and stepped forward to wait for him to freshen up.
was busy, a maid came to report, and the eldest lady sent someone to spread the word that the second grandmother had something to do in the past.
