Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mansion Shakes
"What, they've all been kicked out!"
The second lady sat up straight.
Bang, the blue and white porcelain bowl in the hand of Shuxiang, who was waiting for her to drink medicine, fell to the ground, and the decoction spilled on the ground.
A violent cough.
"Mrs. ...... carefully," Mother Xue hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted the second empress dowager on the back.
Yanxiang and Mingxiang both stepped forward to fetch water, and those with brooms took brooms, and carefully cleaned up the ground.
"What did she and the old lady say?" Stopping coughing, the second wife pushed away the cold boiled water handed by Shuxiang, and looked straight at Mother Xue, "...... Is there any sentence that does not like to listen to and angers the old lady? ”
"The old lady left Tian's mother in the house." Mother Xue replied cautiously, "Mother Tian refused to say a word, and no one knew what the third grandmother said to the old lady." ”
"More than 20 people said that they were all killed?" Her eyes were a little straight, and the second lady muttered to herself, "The third master was the head of the family before his death, which background can he enter Lijing Pavilion?" The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the second wife's face was as white as paper, "God, this time it's really broken!" ”
The five fingers that clenched the placket of Xue's mother's clothes trembled.
"It's turned upside down, it's turned upside down......"
And Shen Huaijing was stunned when she looked at the two tables full of wine and food.
"Why don't you ......" Shen Huaizhen's eyes rolled and discussed, "I'm going to invite the mothers who are in charge of all places?" "It's better than wasting.
"You're not ashamed enough!"
In an uproar, Shen Huaijin knocked over a good table of mats to the ground.
There was also a mess in the courtyard.
Lotus flower pattern embroidered pier, rosewood cloud dragon pattern Taishi chair, rosewood tripod, mahogany dwarf...... They all lay in the center of the ground, the teacups were shattered, and even the precious fragrant cloud yarn in front of the window was torn into one by one and thrown all over the ground.
Suddenly, it looks like small bunting wrapped around the legs of tables and chairs.
How so?
How so?
The eldest lady's pale face was distorted and looked particularly hideous.
"Didn't you say she was going to intercede?"
"Didn't Mother Tian say that the old lady had acquiesced?!"
is the most forbearing, although the eldest lady is the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion, it can be seen that her ability and knowledge are far inferior to her own, but the mother is more expensive than the son, and the second wife who gave birth to a good son has to grovel, flatter and please, and be even more cautious with the old lady...... I don't know how many grievances she has suffered over the years, but she can deal with them calmly.
It's the first time I've smashed something like this!
Even Su's mother knelt down.
The slave heard the mother-in-law of Lijing Pavilion shouting that the third grandmother was going to intercede for everyone, so that everyone could get out of the way...... I watched her enter the Eishoutang ......"
From beginning to end, every step was carried out according to their calculations, but the predicted results did not appear, what went wrong?
What did they miss?
Rewinded things from beginning to end in her mind a few times, and until now, Su's mother was still confused.
Thinking of the manpower and material resources invested in this, her body trembled, and she replied to the kung fu, and went up to the tooth hall to the bottom of the tooth hall.
“…… Did she really say in public that she was going to Rongshoutang to intercede for everyone? ”
I was tired, and I was almost full of shame and anger, and after listening to Su's mother's words, the eldest lady's heart suddenly moved, as if something flashed in her mind, and suddenly she couldn't catch it.
"Yes." Su's mother repeated the scene again, "Otherwise, everyone would not let her out of the hospital......" Her voice suddenly froze, "What does Mrs. ......mean?"
The third grandmother is not going to intercede.
Instead, he went to face the old lady and forced her to fulfill the promise of the other party's master!
From the very beginning, they were on the guard that Zhao Qing would send the little maid to Rongshoutang to force the old lady to come forward to deal with this kind of tactful and peaceful way to counterattack, and they also blocked and robbed at all intersections from Lijing Pavilion to Rongshoutang...... But I didn't expect that she would go into battle shirtless and persecute the old lady in person!
Even if they thought about it, how could they prevent it!
"How could it be, how dare she ......" The thought flashed, and Su's mother was a little incoherent, "Look at that...... Meek...... "The thin wind blows down, and she talks like a mother, how can she look like a harmless little white rabbit," how could she make such a ...... This ......"
I've never seen it before, and Su's mother didn't know how to describe it for a while.
"Even the old lady dares to take advantage of it, she is looking for death!" The eldest lady sneered again and again.
Take advantage of the old lady?
Su's mother was stunned, "Mrs. is talking ......"
The change was too fast, not only Su's mother, but even Du Juan, Yingchun and others kneeling behind her felt that their heads couldn't turn around, and they looked at the eldest lady who was suddenly in a particularly good mood in confusion.
"In public, she said that she was going to intercede, but the old lady threw everyone away." The eldest lady said, "From an outsider's point of view, she went to intercede for everyone, but the old lady didn't agree!" ”
The result is that she sold her favor, and it was the old lady who offended people!
Everyone sighed.
"God, she's so bold that even an old lady dares to ......," cuckoo screamed.
Before, they all thought that she had offended the old lady with one of her words, which made the old lady angry.
"Let Tian's mother find a way to pass this on to the old lady." A hint of cruelty flashed in the eldest lady's eyes.
"The minion will definitely not mess up again this time!" Su's mother responded loudly.
There was a ruthlessness in the loud tone that vowed to be ashamed of blood.
"Also, give me a list of the situation of the maids and women everywhere as soon as possible." The eldest lady stopped her again.
"Big lady, this is ......" Before she finished speaking, Mother Su was already suddenly, "The slave will list it immediately." ”
A sneer appeared on the corner of the eldest lady's mouth.
Pick people up, huh?
Even if they are all thrown out, and a new batch is replaced, it is still the people of her big house!
Want to turn the sky upside down, right?
Then you have to weigh yourself a few pounds and a few taels first!
*****
Zhao Qingzheng was reclining on the autumn fragrant brocade pillow, playing with a dark green and dark green eight-treasure jade carved cup, while listening to the treasure scarf.
“…… The old lady sleeps very little, generally wakes up at the beginning of Mao, will go around in the flower yard, most like to see the petals with dew, Mao is back to the room left and right, after the rooms gather, the morning is two quarters of the meal, if there is no major event in the house, will be accompanied by Tian's mother to the nunnery at the beginning of the temple to chant the scriptures, two minutes at the beginning of the afternoon with lunch, three minutes at noon to take a nap, not just getting up, the afternoon is more casual, or let Qingmei call a few young ladies to go to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers, or listen to the grandmother of each room to pull the house, or and the eldest wife, the second wife to wipe the cards, everyone at the beginning of the year to ask for good night, the second quarter of the first day of the first day with dinner, Then he will eat in the courtyard, and rest left and right...... "But in one day's work, the scarf will make the old lady's work and rest clear," If the third grandmother is looking for the old lady, it is best to do it later, or when she is enjoying the cold...... Sister Huamei said that the old lady was easier to talk during these two moments. ”
This life is too boring.
It is incomparable to the colorful life of the elderly in their previous lives, such as street dancing, walking in the park, watching TV, and various recreation rooms for the elderly.
“…… If you can make the old lady's life more enjoyable, maybe you can improve the relationship between the two that has frozen to the freezing point, right? While pondering how to try his best to mend the relationship between her and the old lady that had completely broken up as of this afternoon, Zhao Qing nodded at the treasure scarf, "Well, you did a good job." ”
There are no material rewards, but verbal encouragement is indispensable.
As he spoke, Zhao Qing asked curiously, "How can you just be a third-class maid?" ”
has been by her side for the past two days, Zhao Qing found that the scarf is very fast in terms of eyesight and scheming, and acts safely, in her opinion, the scarf is stronger than Xiangping Tansy.
"The slave maid was originally a second-class maid in Puliuyuan, and the second wife saw that the slave maid was quite clever, and it happened that Lijing Pavilion was short of people, so she was sent to be in charge of the third master's study, and she was also a second-class ...... at first" A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the treasure scarf, "It was the tansy narcissus who saw that the slave and maid had no background, and was deeply liked by the third master, so she took advantage of the third master's absence to frame the slave and maid, saying that the slave and maid seduced the third master...... was demoted to the third class by the old lady, responsible for the flowers and plants in the backyard, and strictly ordered not to step into the front yard. ”
Although the few words were very plain, from the fleeting hatred and unwillingness in Bao Jian's eyes when he mentioned this matter, Zhao Qing could also think of the thrilling battle they had fought at the beginning, and couldn't help but look at her more.
The scarf is tall, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a slightly pointed chin, a small face that is fairer than several people in tansy and narcissus, like exquisite fine porcelain, especially a pair of eyes, black and bright, the eyebrows are slightly upturned, born with a charm, smiling, amorous, although only twelve years old, it has begun to appear a rare beauty billet.
No wonder Tansy is jealous.
"This is still because the third master is gone, Lijing Pavilion is in chaos, and the slave maid saw that everyone was guarding the gate of the courtyard, and the main house was not as tight as before, so she had the courage to secretly come to see the third grandmother......"
She's gambling, right?
A third-class little maid who was personally ordered by the top leader of the Shen Mansion not to step into the front yard, and has no background, if there is no accident, she will never come out again in this life...... She is gambling, betting that she will have a salted fish to be reborn one day, and she will definitely be reused at that time, and be grateful to her!
Especially with Tansy has such a deep hatred, from the time Daisy was punished to today's uproar, she didn't show the slightest, let alone take the opportunity to say a bad word to vent her anger, this scheming and forbearance are worth her looking at differently.
As for faithfulness...... It can be cultivated slowly.
While pondering the possibility of cultivating Bao Scarf into a "capable secretary", Zhao Qing looked at her quietly, "...... You won your bet. ”
The scarf looked up in disbelief.
Facing Zhao Qing's eyes that couldn't see any emotions like deep lake water, suddenly, Bao Scarf felt like he had been suddenly stripped naked, and all his scheming calculations were red. Bare. The naked one was seen through by Zhao Qing at a glance.
Cold sweat brushes down the ground.
