Chapter Thirty-Seven: Back and forth
Mama Han cautiously tentatively said: "According to the old slave, Zhixia and Qiuqiu still have remorse, and it is not impossible to stay." It's just a lock spring girl, I think it's better to ...... She has too many thoughts and too many miscellaneous. β
Lin Jiuniang said gloomily: "I'm afraid, it's not good for her to leave Yixin Courtyard now." If I really open my mouth to pick her up, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will intercede for her. How can I refute my sister-in-law's face? β
Mama Han hesitated: "Even if Miss Suochun goes to find the eldest and youngest grandmothers, the eldest and younger grandmothers may not necessarily protect her, is Miss Nine thinking too much?" β
Lin Jiuniang smiled bitterly: "With my understanding of my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law will definitely protect her." β
Jiang Xuan is a person who has no ideas, and she has always been jealous of her eldest brother's favor for her.
Seeing Lin Jiuniang's insistence, Mama Han also said: "If this is the case, it can fulfill her marriage." If she could marry the Qin family and become a young grandmother, she would naturally not be willing to stay in the Yixin courtyard to work for the eldest young grandmother. β
Lin Jiuniang saw that Mama Han said her thoughts, and smiled and said, "Yes, but how can this matter be achieved?" I'm still in the boudoir, so it's inconvenient to show up, and the Qin family and the Lin family have no contact, so it's a bit blunt to mention it rashly. β
Mama Han said with a smile: "It's better to leave this matter to Steward Lin, it can be seen that Steward Lin is loyal to the eldest young master, and naturally he will not treat Miss Nine badly." Moreover, you can also take the opportunity to let Steward Lin and us are now in the same boat. β
Lin Jiuniang couldn't help but be glad that she was quick at the beginning, and won Mama Han over before Lin Siniang.
"What Mama said is very true." Lin Jiuniang replied with a smile.
At this time, it happened that Steward Lin came to visit again, and when he saw Lin Jiuniang and Mama Han, he said with a smile: "Miss Jiu, I have prepared the carriage and horses, and I can go to Hanjia Village to pick up Miss Han at any time." I wonder what else Miss Nine commands? β
Lin Jiuniang said: "That is the case, Mama Han will also follow, so I can rest assured, after all, Sister Yingniang is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is better to be cautious." β
Mama Han was overjoyed when she heard this, and she felt even more that she was not following the wrong person.
At this moment, Suo Chun returned.
As soon as he entered the door, Suo Chun knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with tears in his eyes: "Miss Jiu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ......"
Although she already had the bottom in her heart, when she saw Suo Chun kneeling on the ground, Lin Jiuniang still felt a pain in her heart and squinted her eyes slightly.
"Miss Suochun, you made it clear, what should you not do?" Mama Han deliberately said in a weird manner, "Make it clear, and let Miss Nine understand what you think." β
Suo Chun's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Suo Chun shouldn't hide from Miss Nine and privately divide the oil and water in the small kitchen." β
Mama Han said again: "What else? β
Suo Chun was stunned.
She has been in the house for many years, so she naturally knows which is more important.
Privately dividing the oil and water in the small kitchen is greedy.
took refuge in the grandmother, but turned his back on the master.
As a maid in Yixin Hospital, she didn't know what the young grandmother's attitude was towards Miss Nine.
Miss Nine is the most favored by the eldest young master, and she is also the most jealous of the eldest young grandmother.
The young grandmother wants to win over herself, so she naturally has her own intentions.
Perhaps, he wanted to get news about Miss Nine from himself.
Perhaps, it's for the convenience of getting started......
Thinking of this, Suo Chun shook unconsciously.
She immediately said to herself: So what, at least now, she hasn't done a single thing for her grandmother.
At least for now, he is innocent.
Suo Chun hurriedly defended: "There is really nothing else!" Miss Nine, I've been with you for so long, you know me best, I, I'm ......"
Suochun "me" for a long time, but "I" didn't come out with a complete sentence.
Mama Han couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, with Suo Chun's qualifications, it is enough to be an honest maid, and if she wants to be double-faced, she is afraid that she will not be able to cope with it.
"Suo Chun, where did you just go?" Lin Jiuniang spoke, her voice was not slow or urgent, and she couldn't hear her emotions.
Suo Chun lowered his head and said: "I just went to Tingyuxuan, when my sister came this morning at the spring equinox, she accidentally dropped the veil on the ground, and I went to return the veil to her." β
Lin Jiuniang pursed the corners of her mouth slightly.
It's a lie, and it's a very clumsy lie.
But she didn't want to debunk.
If the sister-in-law thinks that she can feel at ease in this way, then that's fine.
"Suo Chun, how much silver did you get for the oil and water in the kitchen?"
Suo Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "This, I haven't calculated, it's about one or two hundred taels." β
"How many are left?"
Suo Chun immediately said: "Miss Jiu, I, I have three younger sisters and one younger brother at home, and the little money I have every month is posted at home, and there is really not much left around me......"
Mama Han interjected: "Suo Chun, I don't believe that you don't keep your own money for yourselfβaren't you still thinking about marrying into the Qin family?" How much dowry can your parents give you, and can you not keep a hand for yourself? β
Suo Chun's face was flushed, his teeth bit his lip tightly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Mama Han accentuated her tone, and said a little fiercely: "Suo Chun, don't forget, you shouldn't take this silver!" If you still want to stay in Pleasant House, you'll have to spit out the money! β
Suo Chun softened half of his body and almost collapsed on the ground.
She calculated, in the past two years, she has taken a total of two hundred and thirty-seven taels of silver.
One hundred taels of them, she took them home one after another.
There were still one hundred taels, and she secretly stuffed them to Qin Jiming several times and asked him to help collect them.
It's not that Suo Chunxin can't be compared to his parents, but, after all, he has a younger brother, and his parents will definitely think more about his younger brother. If I give all the money to my parents, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come back in the future.
The remaining thirty-seven taels, plus the monthly silver and rewards that he usually saved, add up to sixty-five taels, and Suo Chun put it into a small box in his room.
Miss Nine means this, don't you want to return all the money to her yourself?
But Miss Nine is not short of money, and more than two hundred taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket for her!
And he only has these sixty-five taels of silver left on him, is it possible that Miss Nine still wants to let herself write an IOU?
Suo Chun thought so, his face turned pale.
If that's the case, what's the point of staying in Pleasant House?
Lin Jiuniang saw that Suo Chun's face was wrong, so she glanced at Mama Han and said softly: "Suo Chun, you should also know that it is yours to privately divide the oil and water in the kitchen." If I don't punish you, then are there any rules in our Pleasant House? I won't pursue what has been spent, how much silver you have left with you now, give it all to Mama Han, and when you get married one day, I will make up a part of it as your dowry for you to take away. β
If Lin Jiuniang said this before, lock Chunxin.
But now that Mama Han has it, Suo Chun can't believe it.
She stood up abruptly and glanced at Mama Han.
Mama Han saw the sorrow and resentment in her eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Suochun, do you think Miss Nine is embarrassing you?" β
Suo Chun smiled miserably and said, "I'm a slave, how dare I?" β
Mama Han suppressed her anger and said, "Even if Miss Nine is not the master, you are not a slave, you two are friends of equal status, you took her silver behind your friend's back, shouldn't you give it back to her?" You have done something wrong, you have been exposed, you don't want to repent, you don't want to make amends, but you only think about how you can get rid of your crimes, how you can keep the money that you shouldn't have taken yourself, lock the spring, you all say that people are not enough, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, but you can't just think about yourself, and don't think about others at all! Even if this person is your master! β
