Chapter XVII. Acquiescence
ββ¦β¦ The slave has followed you for many years, and it is impossible not to ask for it from you, but to go to find the eldest lady from near and far! Mother Tian's wrinkled face turned slightly pale, and she explained again and again.
The old lady's heart softened again, "Get up." β
"Old lady Xie."
I saw the old lady pressing her fingers on her temples.
Tian's mother tiptoed over and gently rubbed it.
The movements were gentle and the strength was moderate, and the tense nerves immediately relaxed, and the old lady closed her eyes comfortably.
This is her habit of playing small.
Whenever she overthinks about it, her temples are tight, and her head is groggy, Tian's mother will gently rub her like this.
One rub is more than forty years!
From a trembling new daughter-in-law to today, the big girl around her has changed one stubble after another, but Tian's mother has always been by her side, and she sacrificed her life to save her in several crises...... Why did I suspect that she would betray just now?
Feeling the softness on her forehead as when she was young, the old lady laughed in her heart. said secretly, "It's hard to say that it's hard to be confused, why is it that you are getting old, but you are getting more and more real." The gray hair that fell from Tian's mother's forehead when she kowtowed flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "...... She's also old. β
has followed herself from a little girl in the general corner, and for more than 40 years, she doesn't seem to have asked for anything from herself.
ββ¦β¦ Tell me, whose children are those little girls in Lijing Pavilion? In the silence, the old lady's voice was faint.
This is, promised?
The fingers rubbing on her temples trembled slightly, and Tian's mother's lips moved, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Narcissus is the niece of the head of the outer courtyard Liang, Xiangping is a distant relative of the treasury manager Wang Degui's family, originally in the sewing room, not long ago entrusted the old lady's sister Zimei to make up for the lack of Sister Lily of the Valley who was released, Ruixiang is a relative of the family of Wang Quanbao, the manager of the back office, Yuming and the nephew of Duan Jing, the manager of the bookkeeper, have just made a marriage, and they are ready to get married when they are released when they are old......" Standing in the center of the ground, Qiaolan is introducing the background of the maid who is kneeling outside.
With his eyes slightly closed, lazily crooked on the autumn-scented brocade pillow, Zhao Qing listened quietly.
Seeing that she didn't mean to speak, Xiangtong took it over and said, "Speaking of which, there is no background in this courtyard except for Tansy and Birdbranch, and the second wife specially bought it from the outside to prepare the ......" was ready to make a room for the third master, and the words stopped again, her voice paused, and continued, "However, the slave maid heard that not long ago, Ai Ju recognized Mother Su in the eldest lady's house as her godmother...... One or two of these people are not afraid, they are afraid that they will be screwed together! β
If it is really screwed together, it can shake the Shen Mansion!
"The eldest lady also relies on this to dare to release people, the third grandmother has just entered the door, and there is no foundation, so you must not offend!" The experienced mother Wu's eyes were full of worry, and she persuaded step by step, "If you offend these people, the third grandmother will be an enemy in the house in the future, and it will be difficult to move an inch." β
I see!
No wonder everyone dared to brazenly intercept her master in plain sight!
Even if she has no dowry, no background, and no husband to support her, but she is pregnant with Shen Huaiyu's only flesh and blood, just with this, the old lady and the second wife will not sit idly by.
But Daisy dared to bring someone to guard the door and prevent her from entering!
Did you recognize your godmother?
When is "Cai"?
It's probably after Shen Huaiyu's accident, right?
ββ¦β¦ When did you recognize your godmother? "The voice of the yellow warbler is light and fluttering, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will miss it.
Qiao Lan was stunned.
"About ...... Like, maybe...... Was it half a month ago? "The little maids in the Jinyuan Courtyard all said so, and Qiao Lan couldn't be sure.
She secretly looked at Zhao Qing, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating in her eyes, and muttered secretly in her heart, "Don't ask about the influence and character of these head-to-head stewards of Manager Liang, Duan Jing's family, and Wang Degui's family in the mansion, the third grandmother asks what this painless thing is for?" β
"It was seven or eight days ago!" Bao Jin corrected, "At that time, the bones of the third master had just been transported back, and when she saw Ai Ju crying to death, Su's mother followed with tears while persuading, saying that her little daughter was so old...... Later, I recognized my godmother. "A yard thing, the scarf remembers very clearly.
Zhao Qing let out a "oh" and fell silent.
Why didn't she go to the old lady of Rongshoutang?
The matter is so big, the longer it drags on, the more passive it becomes, and the more difficult it is to close it, what is the plan of this third grandmother?
The surprising silence made Wu's mother, Bao Scarf and others feel terrible.
The uneasiness amplified in the heart in circles and circles.
Seeing that the sun had risen in the sky, and the one on the bed was still crooked there as if nothing was there, and closed her eyes to recuperate, Mother Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded softly:
ββ¦β¦ I've been kneeling outside for more than an hour. β
"I know, let's all go down." The voice was faint, and Zhao Qing's eyelids didn't move.
Her lips moved, and Mother Wu quietly withdrew with Bao Scarf, Qiao Lan, and Xiangtong.
Hearing the door being gently closed, Zhao Qing opened his eyes.
Through the moonlight-colored silk curtains, I saw that Tansy and the others, who were drowsy by the August sun, were still kneeling unyieldingly.
"Why are these ancients so difficult?"
Zhao Qing rubbed his temples weakly.
The most effective way to control the strategy is "stick and carrot".
It's just that as a bride of the underworld, the one hundred and twenty-four dowries are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and her whole body can be described as clean and slippery, how can there be a "carrot" to reward. There is no way, if she wants to survive in this deep house where even the minions who sweep the floor will step on the ground, she can only use a big stick.
To deter the Lijing Pavilion minions and make them act only with their own eyes, she can only use an iron fist!
Therefore, yesterday the old lady promised to introduce Mr. Su, and while Master Fang was happy, the eldest girl Zimei hinted that she took the opportunity to ask for a favor for the servants of Lijing Pavilion, which not only bought people's hearts, but also earned a generous reputation...... She pretended to be stupid.
In fact, she also hesitated.
If she didn't have this child, she would have agreed.
It is also a good way to kill monkeys and make an example of chickens, and deal with a batch of them ruthlessly to deter others.
But not now!
Any one of these people was instructed to kill her child with just a glass of water. offended the old lady and the eldest lady, the high-level officials of the Shen Mansion, she was already trembling and walking on thin ice.
How can you have the energy to watch out for these villains around you every day?
The so-called day and night prevention of house thieves is difficult to prevent, even if she wants to prevent it, can she prevent it?
Therefore, she simply didn't do anything, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to directly give Lijing Pavilion a big change.
But I didn't expect that these people would have such a big background power!
Caught off guard, she was forced into the game.
Stepping down to the ground, Zhao Qing found a slender ink stone for thrush in the makeup on the three-screen mirror table carved with vermilion lacquer, mud and gold, "Shui Zhi is the granddaughter of the old lady who accompanies Fang Tian's mother, and Shui Xian is the niece of Manager Liang...... "Write and draw carefully on the white silk.
This is a habit that the secretary in his previous life cultivated.
Whenever the company develops a new product or opens up a new field for an old product, the secretary will draw a simple and intuitive interpersonal context map about the area to be developed through the information provided by the marketing department. Remind her who to make friends with, which competitors to prevent and who to distance herself from...... For her to find the entry point in time and adjust the marketing strategy.
In his previous life, he had to recite complicated and trivial customer information almost every day, Zhao Qing had a good memory that he would never forget, and following the statements of Bao Jian, Qiao Lan and Wu's mother, soon, a simple and intuitive map of the Shen Mansion network jumped in front of him.
Looking at the dense names on the white silk, Zhao Qing's heart became heavier and heavier, and for a moment, she seemed to be in ice water, and she felt a chill in her heart.
No wonder knowing that it was the old lady's personal order, the eldest lady dared to release people.
It turns out that there is still a relationship with Tian's mother!
I just don't know if this matter was mediated by Tian's mother and acquiesced by the old lady, or is the eldest lady relying on the matter to the end, Tian's mother will never stand idly by and arbitrarily assert the independent gang?
The more she learned and the more she thought about it, Zhao Qing found that she had thought about things too simple from the beginning!
It's been almost two hours, these people are still in a stalemate with her and refuse to leave, depending on the situation, they must have been instructed by a master, and today they vowed to kneel at the door of Lijing Pavilion, and they also forced her to commit it!
But is there any room for compromise?
It was because she was afraid that she would offend the stewards of all places guarded by Tian's mother and the housekeeper, so Wu's mother persuaded herself to invite these people in and go to the old lady as soon as possible to ask for a favor, which not only reflected her generosity, but also bought the hearts of these people, and she would do her best to her in the future.
Is that really the case?
If they were really grateful to her and really begged her, then they would not have used such drastic methods, as long as they found a mother who was worthy of her status and dignity to come to Lijing Pavilion and have a showdown with her face to face, knowing the background of these people, no matter how spicy she was, she would not do anything desperately.
Of course, it would be good to be able to change all the people in Lijing Pavilion at once, but now that she already knows, this seems to be a bit difficult...... Uh, it's not big, it's too big!
Speaking of which, this is all because her own heart is too big, she first came to your land for three days, and she didn't think much about eating a fat man, looking at the past and present, which official can change all the people in the entire yamen as soon as he takes office?
It seems that there is no one!
If you really dare to do that, it's strange if you don't raise the county to be an enemy!
said that they came to kneel and beg her, these people didn't have a trace of sincerity at all, they were obviously bullying her in the Shen Mansion, and they were lonely, and they had no foundational background, so they didn't dare to stalemate with them at all, let alone disagree with them!
Even if she obediently went to the old lady to intercede with them, she would not be grateful to her, they would only be grateful to the person who helped them to come up with ideas and let them out to force herself to intercede for them; On the contrary, in front of everyone's eyes, being forced to compromise and give in by a group of minions, what prestige does she have in the Shen Mansion in the future?
But on the other hand, if she sticks to her original intention, it will be tantamount to offending all the people in the Shen Mansion at once, and she will be overwhelmed by all enemies.
Five fingers unconsciously groped for the uneven carvings on the edge of the three-screen mirror table, Zhao Qing suddenly realized that if this matter was acquiesced by the old lady, she only needed to come forward and say a word and go through the motions, so as to give Master Fang an explanation...... Isn't her current insistence like an ant shaking a tree?
Finally become a laughing stock!
As soon as this thought flashed, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Qing's forehead instantly.
What to do?
In this poisonous day, if these people kneel down and make trouble again, they will die, compromise is impossible, and persistence is even more impossible, what should she do?
What is the attitude of the old lady?
Slowly pacing to the window, Zhao Qing quietly looked at the crowd outside.
The door was blocked, and she didn't dare to let Bao Jin Qiaolan and others go out, she deliberately asked the people who watched the excitement to help her return to the old lady, the trouble was so fierce, even if no one went, the old lady should have known, but she refused to come forward......
What does the old lady mean...... Just let people go, right?
Just waited for her to come forward and beg for a good job of sealing Master Fang's mouth?
If so, how would she end up?
In the form of an ant, how can she shake the will of the old lady, a towering tree?
The more she thought about it, Zhao Qing found that by setting up this bureau, the other party had already calculated all her ways out, and blocked them one by one, and she had already been forced into a dead end, but she didn't realize that she was still cooperating!
She's too careless!
Zhao Qing's two temples jumped up one by one.
