Chapter XXVIII
The second update: ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
******
The eldest master, the second master and others arrived one after another.
The little maid came in and replied, "...... The meal was set. ”
The old lady nodded, and got up to go to the dining room.
Hula-la, everyone moved.
Zhao Qing sat still and didn't move.
"The eldest lady is right, a slave is a slave, how dare she hate her master, if it is usual, her granddaughter-in-law will not be more serious, but she ......" her words changed, "The granddaughter-in-law is now pregnant with the only blood of the third master, but she has to guard against it!" ”
What is she doing here?
Want to disobey yourself?
The old lady's face sank instantly.
Zhao Qing only couldn't do it.
"I didn't know that there was a little girl named Red Sleeves in my granddaughter-in-law's house...... "I told Shen Huaijin about hitting herself yesterday," ...... almost lost two lives, how dare my granddaughter-in-law use these people again?! ”
The old lady's dark face slowly turned to surprise, and then to astonishment......
"How can this happen?"
She really didn't know about it.
During the day, it was because everyone didn't know what happened to Shen Huaijin during his time in Lijing Pavilion, and he didn't dare to go back, and when he came out at night, the old lady was furious because she was calculated by Zhao Qing, who dared to touch her head?
Naturally, no one dared to tell her about it.
“…… What my daughter-in-law said is true! Zhao Qing's voice was categorical, "This matter was handled by Mother Xue herself, and the old lady sent her to ask about it." ”
Mother Xue was passed in panting.
“…… The second wife asked Miss Seven personally, and it was Tianxiang who coaxed her to say that the third master would not kiss her if he had a child, and heard Tianxiang say that as long as she hit the lower abdomen, the child would be gone, so she hit the third grandmother's lower abdomen ruthlessly. "The stakes are very high, Mother Xue didn't dare to hide it, and told everything about yesterday.
Everyone in the room gasped.
Shen Huaijin's little face shrank in the nurse's arms.
The old lady's face sank like water.
The eldest grandmother and the fourth grandmother quietly withdrew with a few young ladies and maids.
The room fell silent, and the pins could be heard.
“…… Just as the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, the Shen family has a big business, there are a hundred and ten people up and down, and there are occasionally one or two Diao slaves. The eldest lady coughed lightly and said, "How can the third grandmother kill everyone with one rod?" He took the list in Su's mother's hand and trembled, "These people are all carefully selected by me and checked by the old lady." Deliberately aggravated the old lady's gate, "I dare to guarantee ......" I dare not say that I guarantee that these people have nothing to do with Ai Dai and others, the eldest lady's voice paused slightly, and said, "These people are all embroidered by Zhong Linghui, generous and courteous, and they will never dare to mess around when they serve the third grandmother." ”
Zhao Qing raised her eyebrows, "The eldest lady dares to guarantee that there will not be a second Tianxiang among these people?" ”
What they want is for more heavenly incense to appear among them!
How can she guarantee it?
Caught off guard, the eldest lady was slightly stunned.
Zhao Qing refused to give her a chance to breathe, and her eyes were rarely aggressive, "...... The eldest lady dares to guarantee that their purpose of entering Lijing Pavilion must be pure, and dare to guarantee that the blood of the third master will be safe and sound after I use these people?! ”
How is that possible?
The eldest lady sneered in her heart.
She had already seen and understood that this child was a talisman, and no matter how ridiculous things involved him, the old lady and the second wife would give in unconditionally. Only when this child is gone, the third grandmother in front of her can rub herself like a thorny rose!
How could he have allowed this child to be born unharmed?
For a moment, the silence in the hall was even a little suffocating.
Staring at the eldest lady's face, the old lady's brows gradually furrowed.
"The old lady can be a guarantor...... In the silence, Zhao Qing spoke aggressively again, "Today, as long as the eldest lady and the granddaughter-in-law make a word, they guarantee that the child will be born safely after the granddaughter-in-law uses these people, and will grow up safely...... If I had a miscarriage or died in the middle of the trip, the eldest lady and the old lady would unconditionally send me back to the Fang family to recuperate, and I would not hesitate to use them. He looked straight at the eldest lady and asked word by word, "Does the eldest lady dare to make a note with me!" ”
Fart!
Even if she doesn't do it, who can guarantee that the child will be born safely?
Growing up in peace?
Now let her promise, what guarantee does she take.
Isn't this a shackle that is put around your neck?
Do you want her to change her mind from now on, like the second wife, eat fasting and pray for the child to be safe and sound every day?
It's so beautiful!
"Why should I guarantee it?" was passionate, and the eldest lady's face was distorted almost hideous, "Could it be that if you accidentally dropped the child while walking, it should also be counted on me?" ”
Seizing the loophole in her statement, Zhao Qing pointed straight to her heart, "Big lady, this is admitting, the purpose of you sending these people here is to kill this child?!" ”
"You ......"
A mouthful of sullen air blocked in her chest, the eldest lady felt that she was going to explode, as soon as she raised her arm, she heard a clang, and a set of good purple sand tea sets on the table next to her rolled to the ground, and the hot tea splashed the eldest man's body, he stood up and hurriedly shook his clothes.
The second old man shouted loudly for the little maid to come in.
Seeing that the hall was in a mess, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they ran in one by one tremblingly, and Huamei squatted next to the old lady first, "...... The old lady isn't hot, is she? "The green plum and purple plum are holding the broom, and the one who picks up the pieces is picking the pieces, and Su Mei is shouting out the cuckoo and osmanthus that follow the eldest lady," ...... Go get a clean set of clothes for the old man! ”
The hall was a mess.
Syllable!
The old lady slammed the table, "Shut up!" ”
Everyone was stiff.
Huamei slowly raised her head, only to realize that the old lady's face was blue and black, and her lips were trembling with anger.
"Old lady ......" came back from the shock, and the eldest lady's eyes turned red, "My daughter-in-law has been in the door for more than 20 years, and she has served you with all her heart, and she has been working hard all night......
"Alright, don't say any more." The old lady interrupted her impatiently, looked up at Zhao Qing, who had quietly gotten up and hid behind the corner table to carefully protect herself, and said, "...... The minions of the Regency Pavilion are all bought from the outside. ”
There was a faint hint of reluctantly restrained anger in the gentle voice.
“…… The granddaughter-in-law Xie and the old lady are fulfilled. I didn't expect it to be like this, Zhao Qing was slightly stunned, and then bent his knees across the table to give the old lady a big gift.
"Old lady!" The eldest lady screamed.
Facing the sharp gaze of the old man, his voice stopped abruptly.
After a while, he said slowly, "When my daughter-in-law went back, I told Mr. Liang to go to Yaxing." ”
The tense air suddenly lightened.
While everyone got up to go to the dining room, the old lady walked in front with the eldest lady's arm, "...... I'm willing to keep her, I'm just for this child, she wants to buy a slave outside, let her buy it! In this way, if something happens to the child, everyone will not be responsible...... It also saves you from getting fishy if you don't eat fish. ”
The reassuring tone of the serious and long, with a hint of gambling and competition.
The eldest lady felt bitter in her heart.
She lowered her eyebrows and responded, "The old lady's hard work, the daughter-in-law knows." ”
*****
“…… So little? ”
Looking at the ten little girls and ten mothers-in-law who came in behind Mr. Liang and Yapo Liu's mother in dismay, Zhao Qingzhi frowned.
So ugly?
Why are they all like crooked melons, can this person use them?
Mother Wu, who was accustomed to seeing the maids in the house one by one, opened her mouth wide in shock.
"Manager Liang didn't make it clear to Liu's mother, how many people does the third grandmother want to buy?" And Bao Scarf had already questioned, "Mother Liu only brought twenty people, even if the third grandmother didn't pick or pick them up, it wouldn't be enough!" "What's more, they are all so ugly, and they can't pick out two and a half of the big ones.
Mother Liu secretly glanced at Manager Liang in the afterglow.
Mr. Liang looked at his nose and nose and mouth, and bowed his hands respectfully and said nothing.
Mother Wu snorted coldly when she saw it, "Mother Liu is afraid that the Shen family will be short of your silver?" ”
Mother Liu shuddered.
hurriedly piled up a smile on her face, "What did this mother say, who doesn't want to earn money for nothing, how can there be a reason to push it out?" "Glanced at Manager Liang, "Hearing that Manager Liang said that there is such a big business, I didn't sleep for most of the night, and I was thinking about serving the third grandmother well, and I could take care of our business in the future, but ......" She changed her words, "The third grandmother and the girls are raised in the inner house, and they don't know the hardships of our traders...... Now it is not compared to previous years, the price of food is one day a day, everyone has silver and hoards grain, who is willing to spend silver to buy girls to fill in the dings? sighed, "I used to feed a group of girls, and I didn't have a few taels of silver a month, but now it's good, raising a girl for hundreds of dollars a day just by eating and drinking, raising five or six in my hand, a bag of rice will see the bottom in two days, and I can't get rid of it in time, I will lose a day if I raise it for a day, I have no business at hand, who is willing to raise more?" He babbled a bunch of bad things about the world, and finally pointed to more than 20 people, "It's still that I ran for seven or eight days to get these together, and I saw that Manager Liang was urging him again and again every day, so I first brought it and asked the third grandmother to pick it up, and I will send the rest as soon as possible!" ”
Thinking that these people were indeed sent by them for seven or eight days, the scarf was speechless.
That day in Rongshoutang, I was almost angry and vomited blood by myself, it would be strange if the eldest lady could let her buy a lovely slave smoothly, seeing the expressions of Liu Ma and Liang Zong, Zhao Qing waved his hand to stop the questioning of Wu's mother, who had heard a lot about Gulan Town's tooth shop, and asked Liu's mother, "...... Food prices are still rising outside? There is no sign of a fall? As an elite in the shopping mall, Zhao Qing is more interested in these news.
Seeing that she was not entangled, Mother Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fall? How can it fall! She sneered, "The war in the northwest can't be fought in ten or eight years, and if the trouble is not good, it will be able to reach Tanxi at the end of the year, and if the Zhongzhou Mansion is really besieged, I am afraid that piles of gold and silver will not be able to buy a bucket of grain!" ”
How can you not rush to hoard?!
In Yaxing, Liu's mother is best at these gossip, Zhao Qing asked the ground, seeing that she was interested, Liu's mother, who was already weak-minded, simply gushed out, "In the rebellion of the King of Jin that year, Long live and the queen mother's mother and son were trapped in Yizhou, and the price of grain rose to two taels of silver a bucket......"
No wonder even the little maids in the house are raising funds to stock up on food, it turns out that this is really the case outside.
It's just that how can it be diametrically opposed to Su Dao's opinion?
Doesn't it mean that Su Dao is the number one Confucian in Southern Chu, why is he so unreliable?
Surprised, Zhao Qing asked curiously, "Didn't you say that Banzai had already crowned the Seven Princes in the northwest of the famous town as the general of Zhenwu and commanded 500,000 troops to the west?" ”
“…… The Seven Princes? Liu Ma nodded, "Three years ago, he captured Abul Khan Nuo Er Khan alive, and his reputation was far and wide, which really frightened the Tartars, and it was said that he would be able to win with his troops, but this time ......" shook his head again, "But it may not be!" ”
