In the blink of an eye, on the tenth day of October, it was the birthday of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Mrs. Xie freshened up and inspected everywhere, so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.

It wasn't until the beginning of the morning that I saw that everything was in order, so I took the time to fill my stomach with a bowl of white fungus sweet soup and a few pieces of refreshments.

After careful questioning, Mrs. Xie knew that the third lady disliked the bird's nest porridge for today's breakfast and cooked it into a salty taste, so the maid found the kitchen to replace it, and the kitchen was negligent for a moment because she put all her mind on the birthday banquet, and sent the wrong breakfast.

As a result, the maid in the third room, the green kite, was so powerful that she wanted to smash the kitchen, and the housekeeper Mama Gong allowed her to come nonsense, so she ordered several daughters-in-law to come forward to restrain the green kite and drive her out of the kitchen.

The third lady was furious when she heard this, and went out in person, and now she is making a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Xie secretly complained, the third lady relied on being the elder, and she pressed people at every turn, but now in the Guogong Mansion, her mother-in-law passed away, the second lady is gone, and the fourth lady can't suppress the Nian's family, although Mrs. Xie is a clan woman, but she is a junior, and it is always good to disrespect the elders on the surface.

Mrs. Xie sighed secretly, and hurried to the kitchen in a hurry, and before she saw anyone, she heard the third lady roaring angrily: "I don't know whose power it is, just a cheap slave, who dares to beat my maid, I think who dares to stop it today, unless you expose the skin of this slut." ”

Mrs. Xie's footsteps were suffocated, and her eyebrows frowned even tighter.

Mama Gong is a close confidant of the deceased grandmother Liang, when the Liang family was in trouble, thanks to the assistance of the Gong family, they got a place to live, after the founding of the country, the Liang family inquired about Xie Jin Feng Zhenguo Gong, and found it back, because the two elders of the Gong family have passed away, and the Gong family is young and widowed, lonely, Liang placed her in the Guogong Mansion, and has always been the daughter-in-law in charge, because the Liang family values it, that is, the Zhenguo Gong does not treat the Gong family as a servant, and the younger generations dare not slack off, even if the Liang family passes away, Mrs. Xie is in charge of the feed, He also respects the Gong family as an elder, and never dares to reprimand him for being snubbed.

No matter how domineering the third lady is, she usually doesn't dare to point at Sang and scold Huai like this, today is she deliberately trying to make trouble?

I also heard Mama Gong argue: "Mrs. Tai's forgiveness, not the slave maid's intention, because of today's miscellaneous matters, a moment of negligence to send the wrong breakfast, bird's nest stew time is extremely long, are prepared the night before, for a while there is really no way to prepare another for Mrs. Tai, the slave has explained to the green kite, how do you know that she wants to mess around, today is the birthday of the grandfather, the ingredients are prepared for the birthday banquet, the slave and the maid dare not lose, have to stop the green kite, and dare not beat. ”

As soon as the green kite heard this, she raised her voice and ran into a confrontation: "Mrs. Tai, it is clear that this mother-in-law is reversing right and wrong, first pointed to the slave's nose and scolded, and said that even if the bird's nest porridge is salted and salted, and arsenic is not added, where will it be eaten to death, the fourth lady is not picky, but some people don't know the severity, the slave and the maid are angry when they hear it, so they want to ask for an explanation, but they are beaten by this old pious woman." ”

Mama Gong also reprimanded angrily: "Qing Kite, you dare to find fault with it, so many people are present in the kitchen, and everyone has witnessed that you are making trouble unreasonably, and even the girl Wen next to Mrs. Shizi is also ......" Before she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face, Mama Gong was shocked and angry, staring at it, but she saw the third lady standing with her waist crossed, her eyebrows and eyes, and she scolded angrily: "Don't talk about the maids around me, even if it is a cat or a dog, it is not your turn to scold, what are you." He scolded a few mothers-in-law behind him: "Why are you stunned, don't drag her out, beat her hard, and hand it over to people to sell." ”

Mama Gong has not suffered such humiliation since she entered the Xie Mansion, although she didn't dare to fight back, she covered her face and snorted coldly: "Third Mrs., I am not your house slave, let you shout and scold." ”

Seeing that she dared to face the face, the third lady raised her hand and slapped her again, but this time she was firmly pinched by Mama Gong's arm: "If it weren't for respecting the old lady, in order to repay the grace of the Guogong Mansion for taking care of it, plus the Guogong Mansion several times to keep me, I wouldn't stay in the house, I respect you as the master of the Guogong Mansion, the daughter-in-law of the old lady, so I call myself a slave, Mrs. Tai can figure it out, I don't have a deed of sale in your hands." ”

"It's the other way around, you faceless slave!" The third lady screamed.

Mrs. Xie saw that she was making a lot of trouble, so she quickened her pace and stepped forward, but before her words of consolation could be spoken, Mrs. Santai opened her mouth with an order: "Dalang's daughter-in-law came just in time, you can hear this Diao slave's big words, if you don't kill her today, the Zhenguo Mansion still has rules." ”

Mama Gong was also so aggrieved that her eyes were red, and she knelt down on her knees: "Mrs. Shizi, the old body is really unbearable to be humiliated, although she has been taken care of by the Guogong Mansion for many years, she has a place to live, and she originally planned to serve you well, and it is considered a fate with the old lady, but she doesn't want to let people tolerate it, the old body knows that she is humble, and she doesn't dare to ask Mrs. Shizi to be the master, so I will kowtow to Mrs. Shizi today, today is a good day for Grandpa Guo, I don't dare to bother Grandpa Guo, and I also ask Mrs. Shizi to tell her shame for the old body another day." ”

Mama Gong is also over fifty years old, at this time, there were old tears and choked appeals, which made Mrs. Xie feel uncomfortable, and secretly complained that Mrs. Xie was unreasonable, and hurriedly helped people up: "Mama please get up quickly, your parents have the grace to save your grandmother's life, and your grandmother also instructed us to support you before she died, so that we can support you, it should be respected, it is Mama's insistence that you will be able to work, don't say such things again." ”

These words are not only to persuade the Gong family, but also to remind the third lady that Mama Gong is not a servant woman, and she is kind to the old lady, not to mention beating, she should not even be reprimanded.

The third lady sneered secretly, when the Nian family funded the uprising of the Chuzhou army, she made great contributions to the founding of Dalong, and was knighted, and she was also prestigious, she was the eldest daughter, the reason why she married the third lady was because she took a fancy to him as Qi's own person, but not long after entering the door, Liang actually found it back, Qi was expelled, and the husband was reduced to a concubine, and had to grovel in front of Liang, Liang gave her a lot of guilt, and endured for many years, and it was easy to survive until Liang died, and as a result, for Concubine Xie, the husband had to maintain harmony with several brothers, She had to continue to hold back.

At present, the Zhenguo Mansion is just an empty shelf, if it weren't for the Nian family, how could the family still have fine clothes and food, the third master finally made up his mind to fight, and she still needs to tolerate such a slave and maid as the master?

Today, she was afraid that the third master would not be strong-willed, and in the end she would compromise again, and deliberately found this handle to make trouble first.

At the moment, he slammed heavily: "Shameless and skinless sluts, and the face is arrogant and arrogant, no matter how great the kindness, allowing you to eat and drink for nothing over the years has been offset, Dalang daughter-in-law, you have to let go, respect and order is an iron law, just say that our Xie family has made great contributions to the founding of Dalong, can we disrespect the Son of Heaven?" Since this lowly maid is willing to be a slave, she should respect the Lord, and she should not be allowed to contradict the Lord's family. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xie heard this, she was even more depressed, knowing that today's things were only afraid that she would not be good, Sanfang was deeply dissatisfied because of Xie Qi's affairs, and she was just taking the opportunity to make trouble, and she also had a cold face at the moment: "Third aunt, grandmother left her last words on her deathbed, and instructed the prince to serve Mama Gong as the elder and send her to the end of the elderly, the prince and the concubine did not dare to disobey, Mama Gong did not want to be honored, and was willing to work, it was her integrity, and she was respected by the son, Mama Gong was not a slave of the Guogong Mansion, but a parent, and today's events were clearly instigated by the green kite, Mama Gong was negligent for a while, and even the third aunt's breakfast was not used well, and the third aunt was asked to look at the face of the son and the concubine, and forgive her. ”

didn't wait for the third lady to speak again, Mrs. Xie directly ordered: "Qing Kite is disrespectful to Mama Gong, she should be severely punished, and she also instigated trouble and violated the rules of the government, and the crime is added to the first degree, today is the birthday of the grandfather of the country, it is not good to investigate, first detain her firewood room, and then severely punish after today." ”

Mrs. San wanted to make trouble, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xie, who has always adhered to the code of "calming things down", to be so spicy this time, she was really angry at the moment, and pointed at Mrs. Xie and said, "You dare!" ”

"How dare I, as a woman of the Xie clan, can't I dispose of a slave who has made a mistake?" Mrs. Xie frowned and said: "Although I respect the third aunt as an elder, but today is Daddy Weng's birthday, and I should take Daddy Weng as the priority, even if the third aunt wants to blame, I have to wait until the third aunt to learn a lesson." ”

didn't pay attention to the third lady, and only comforted Gong: "Mama, today's things are all the fault of the green kite, I will deal with it impartially, so as not to let Mama suffer this grievance in vain, and please Mama to see Daddy's birthday, take care of it first, today's things are so cumbersome, without Mama looking at the kitchen, I can't rest assured, I have to work Mama." ”

Mrs. Xie did this part, Mama Gong was very grateful, and she didn't care about the third lady, Mrs. Xie turned around again, saw the indignant appearance of the third lady, turned her heart sideways, and ordered several servants in the third room who followed and cheered: "This place is full of people, carefully someone collides with Mrs. Tai, and does not send Mrs. Tai back to the room, today is a good day for the grandfather of the country, if there is a little more turmoil, he will be punished!" ”

The usual pleasant housewife suddenly became powerful, and the servants were all in a daze, and then they reacted, although they were waiting in the third room, the deed of sale was in the hands of Mrs. Xie, she was determined to fight and sell, and the third lady could not keep it.

So the third lady, who was speechless for a while by the raging anger, was so fooled back to the room by the slaves and maids around her, until she was helped on the kang, she came back to her senses, shook her hand is two slaps, beat the two maids around her to the side, and smashed while scolding, making the room full of porcelain gravel crumbs, which alarmed several daughters-in-law, but no one dared to persuade them, and they responded to their respective husbands to ask, and even the third wife heard the news.

I heard that the third lady was humiliated by Mrs. Xie in front of the servants, and the faces of the old men in the room were dark, and the sons couldn't help but shout: "There is only an empty lord in the long house, just relying on the court's Fenglu, I'm afraid that even the slaves and maids can't support them, and over the years, thanks to us, they have nothing to do with the Gong family as their ancestors, why should they bully their mother for a servant woman." ”

"The grandfather has to be the master of the old body, no matter what today, I have to ask for an explanation, the eldest daughter-in-law does not respect the elder, why let her be in charge of the middle feed, the internal affairs of the Guogong Mansion should have been in charge of us a long time ago, today in front of the old princess, we must let the grandfather of the country show his attitude, or hand over the middle feed, and then take a break from the Ji family, let Yu Feng come forward, get back the official position for Qi'er, or split the family, and then don't let these moths eat and drink for nothing, there is no such cheap thing!" The third lady was annoyed, and picked up a jade ruyi with her hand, and smashed it in half with a "bang".

Xie Yu, the eldest son of the third room, also gritted his teeth for a while: "It just so happens that the third uncle came to celebrate his birthday today, I am not afraid that we are weak, hum, the power of the Enyi Bo Mansion at the moment, even the Zhenguo Mansion does not dare to underestimate it!" ”
