CHAPTER XXXV
Ye Rong angrily rushed to the study of the second master in the outer courtyard, the second master Ye Chenghun was dealing with official documents, he thought he was a very diligent person, even if the official position was not high, he would handle the official affairs as perfectly as possible. After all, he is not like the eldest brother, he was born to be a marquis, and unlike the third brother, he has a powerful father-in-law, even if he doesn't know anything, he can still be an official, and the official position is bigger than his. He can only rely on himself, and he believes that with his own mind and diligence, sooner or later, he will also rise to the top, and there will be titles and official positions.
"Daddy!" Ye Rong pushed open the door of the study, "How can you treat your mother like this? You know that it was the old lady who poisoned you, and you let your mother carry the black pot! ”
"Shut up!" Ye Chenghun was so angry that he almost pouted, he prides himself on being smart and wise, and he is a person who is good at strategy, how can there be such a stupid daughter, before he entered the door, he shouted that it was the old lady who poisoned her, even if it was true, he couldn't announce it to the public, "Nonsense, it was your mother who poisoned her, and the big girls around her all testified against her, can there be a fake?"
Ye Rong pursed her lips disdainfully, "That big girl is the person who the old lady planted next to her mother, of course you have to listen to the old lady, Dad, you can help your mother, you didn't see it, the yard where she lives is dilapidated, and it is not a place for people to stay at all." ”
"Who told you that the poison was given by the old lady, and the big girl is the old lady's person?" Ye Chenghun pinched his eyebrows, could it be that they were doing it so obviously, even Sister Rong could see it.
"Mother said it." Ye Rong stepped forward and pulled the second master's sleeve, "Dad, there was a patriarch here that day, why did you shield the old lady and let your mother be wronged in vain." ”
"Don't say it again," Ye Chenghun flicked his sleeves, "That poison was given by your mother, and it has nothing to do with the old lady!" When did Qi become smarter, he thought that she would not think of it, but he was still not smart enough, and he only saw that she was guilty, but he didn't expect that this was only temporary.
Ye Rong's eyes widened in disbelief, "You, you are simply indistinguishable from wrong, ruthless and unjust!" In her heart, her parents have always been loving, although they are not as slimy as the third uncle and third aunt, but they also respect each other, but she didn't expect her father to treat her mother like this.
"Smack!" was accused by his nine-year-old daughter, Ye Chengxun was angry, raised his hand and slapped her, "I'll tell you to shut up!" ”
The injury on Ye Rong's face was not completely healed, she was just able to see people, and the second master's slap made her tears gush out of her eyes, covering her face and bending down.
Ye Chengxun remembered that her face was still hurt, and secretly regretted it, but he was worried that she would talk nonsense everywhere without any scruples, and reprimanded with a cold face: "Aren't you still grounded?" Go back to your yard now, and don't come out without my orders!" ”
Asking for help for her mother to no avail, but she was beaten, Ye Rong was sad and angry, crying so much that her body trembled.
Ye Fu had been standing in the courtyard for a while, listening to the quarrel between his father and sister before he hurried into the study, "Father is angry, the third sister is still young, even if she says something, she is unintentional." ”
Ye Chenghun waved his hand with a straight face, "Take her back!" ”
Ye Fu pulled Ye Rong and left.
Ye Rong refused to go back to her yard, went to the small courtyard where the Qi family was locked up, and cried to the Qi family. Qi's heart is even colder, what a Ye Chengxun, he is really ruthless, not only did he hurt himself, but even his daughter was beaten. Fortunately, she still kept a hand, and the silver from the greedy ink was exchanged for a silver ticket, and she hid it quietly, and no one told her, even Ye Chengxun didn't know where it was.
After Ye Rong finished crying, she returned to her yard angrily and aggrievedly, and the maid came over cautiously, "Girl, the warehouse said that the items registered for use in our yard have greatly exceeded the standard, and there are more than a dozen sets of tea sets alone, three sets of bed tents, and many others, say, let us ...... Go back. ”
"What go back?!" Things came in waves, and Ye Rong was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, "Those tea sets are broken, and the bed tents are broken, what do you want to return them?!" ”
The maid couldn't wait to shrink into a shelled turtle, "The eldest lady said that everything damaged will be compensated according to the price." ”
"If you lose, you will pay for it, it is worth a few pieces of silver, and it is also worth asking for it locally." Ye Rong didn't care.
"The eldest lady said," the maid swallowed with difficulty, "the things in the girl's house are worth three hundred and twenty taels of silver...... "When the second lady was in charge of the house, all the good things were sent to the girl's house, but the girl had a bad temper and often broke it, and it was really a lot of silver."
"What, three hundred and twenty taels?!" Ye Rong gasped, "Why didn't she grab it!" ”
The maid took a step back cautiously, "It was originally three hundred and twenty-six taels, but the eldest lady said that the girl was still young, so she wiped the odds." ”
Ye Rong picked up the small pastel teacup in her hand and wanted to throw it out, but when she saw the maid staring at the teacup in her hand with frightened eyes, she realized that these were all silver, and put it down hatefully, "It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, my mother just had an accident, and my aunt can't wait to bully us." ”
The maid didn't dare to say anything, who was the tiger and who was the dog, she didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Rong sat at the table angrily, her monthly monthly silver is only three taels, she is used to being lavish, she never saves silver, anyway, she has a mother, what is missing, just ask her mother directly, and she doesn't need to deal with anyone, so the monthly silver is all spent, where can I find three hundred and twenty taels of silver?
Ye Rong pulled the handkerchief in her hand angrily, and after a while, the exquisite thin silk embroidered handkerchief was torn out of shape, and the maid looked at it distressedly, but she didn't dare to stop her.
"Forget it, no matter, I don't have any money, what can she do to me?!" Ye Rong slapped the table and decided not to return the silver.
Contrary to Ye Rong, Ye Qian's mood was very happy.
Meng Shi was busy for a few days, and after counting the account books and inventory everywhere, he was free. Before falling ill, she was in charge of the middle feed of the Hou Mansion, which can be described as a familiar car, and there are many people in charge who are convinced of her, even if there are old ladies and Qi family's cronies, they dare not oppose her openly, after all, Meng is a serious Mrs. Hou, Qi made a mistake and was locked up, no matter how loyal a person is, he has to weigh his own weight.
Ye Qian took her mother's hand and excitedly introduced all the way, "Mother, this is my yard, and this east wing is where Mama Feng lives......" In her memory, this is the first time her mother came to her place where she lives, and she can't wait to tell her mother everything again.
Meng Shi held his daughter's soft little hand, with a gentle smile on his face, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes, what a Qi family, that's how he treats his daughter. This is the Jiping Hou Mansion, Qianqian is the Hou Ye's serious daughter-in-law, according to the example, Qianqian's monthly silver, house furnishings, and daily meals are all higher than the three girls in the second room, but the tea sets, bed tents, screens, etc. in the Qianqian house, as well as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and gadgets placed on the Duobao Pavilion, none of them can satisfy her. Meng Shi remembered what Ye Rong had taken away from the inventory registered in the warehouse, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Mother, this was given to me by His Royal Highness King Yu." Ye Qian showed the jade carved bird to the Meng family, because Ah Huang stayed in the palace of King Yu, and King Yu asked her to bring back this jade carving that was exactly the same as Ah Huang, so that she could often think of Ah Huang, and by the way, she could also think of herself.
"Well, it's beautiful." Meng pushed the shredded hair from her cheek behind her ear.
Ye Qian smiled happily, and two small pear vortices appeared on Bai Shengsheng's cheeks, "There is a Ah Huang in the palace, the same as this one, very smart......"
Meng Shi smiled and listened to Ye Qiannian chattering about the affairs of King Yu's mansion, and was very relieved in his heart, originally thought it was a helpless family affair, but he didn't expect that King Yu was very attentive to his baby daughter, and he was not as arrogant and domineering as outsiders said, too, how could the son born by that innocent and kind woman be a bad one?
Ye Qian's every day is very happy, either sticking to her mother or her brother, and she doesn't even take Mama Feng's etiquette class seriously. Mama Feng didn't restrain her, anyway, His Royal Highness had instructed that she was not allowed to criticize the little princess, as long as it seemed like that on the surface, besides, her original duty was not to teach etiquette, but to take care of the little princess, Ye Qian had no intention of going to class, so she naturally didn't embarrass her, let her follow the Meng family, and learn to be in charge of the family.
After more than ten days, it was the day when the government issued the monthly silver, and the big house and the third room successfully took away the monthly silver, but the second room encountered setbacks everywhere.
"Why didn't you get the money?" Ye Rong asked the maid in disbelief, is the eldest aunt so arrogant and blatantly deducting her own monthly routine? If her mother was in charge of the house, she didn't care about the three taels of silver, anyway, she had what she wanted, but now she wants nothing, all counting on these three taels of silver.
The maid's face was flushed, she went to get the silver, but she didn't get it but was reprimanded, usually there were people everywhere in the house, she also felt that she was a decent person, but now it was different, thinking of the disdainful eyes of the housekeeper, she was also very aggrieved, "It is said that the girl still owes three hundred and twenty taels of silver, if she doesn't pay it back, she will deduct the silver from this month until it is enough for three hundred and twenty taels." Moreover, the girl received more than she spent, and she did not make up the money, and in the future, the treasury would not give the girl new utensils. In other words, in the future, if the girl's tea set really accidentally fell, she could only use it.
"What?!" Ye Rong shouted angrily: "Three hundred and twenty taels, it will take more than a hundred months!" "Then she hasn't had a monthly bill of money for many years, my God, how is she going to live?
"If only my wife was still in charge." The maid muttered dissatisfiedly, I heard that not only their girls were here, but also the eldest girl Ye Fu and the second young master Ye Ji did not receive the monthly silver, and even the second master's hands were nervous, if the wife was in charge, it would be impossible to have these troubles at all.
"Mother? Yes, Mother must have money! Ye Rong jumped up excitedly, it was only three hundred and twenty taels, just look for her mother!
