Chapter 38: Breaking the Ice
It's been sealed a long time ago, what's the use of calling here at this time?
Haven't you ever been lynched?
After all, it is an animal that causes the accident, and it is not something that people can control.
Even if he gets into trouble with the government, as long as Guo Shun insists that the horse is shocked, no one can help him.
With a lot of thoughts, the old lady looked at the eldest lady quietly.
The eldest lady straightened her chest.
“…… It's just a brute, Guo Shun took the initiative to apologize, so let's leave it at that. The old lady said unhurriedly, "As for Zhu Gui......"
"The daughter-in-law has kicked him out of the house." Without waiting for the old lady to say the punishment decision, the eldest lady took it.
It's so arrogant!
Is this the rhythm of hitting the dock with the old lady?
Thinking that the eldest master had taken over the business steadily, Zhao Qing's heart tightened for a moment, and she secretly looked at the old lady.
The old lady's face turned pale.
"How can you get out and forget it!" The unhurried voice revealed an undisguised righteous indignation, "You must set an example by giving thirty boards in public!" Also, those maids and wives who are in the car today, except for the injured Chunlan and Mother Wu, everyone else has been thrown out for me, our Shen Mansion can't afford to raise such a treacherous minion! ”
"You ......"
The eldest lady's face turned the color of pork liver.
The green tendons on the stiff neck are clearly visible one by one.
Tension is on the verge of erupting.
Facing the grim and ruthless color that flashed in her eyes, Zhao Qing's hairs exploded all over her body.
1,000 wounded and 800 self-inflicted.
It was messy when she was in Yingdi, her stomach was churning and uncomfortable, everything was arranged by the eldest wife, and she and Chunlan didn't pay attention to it, now that she thinks about it, except for Chunlan and Wu's mother, who have been with her all the time, it should be the eldest lady's body who was secretly transferred down the mountain with her carriage today...... Taking the opportunity to throw them out can certainly cut off the eldest lady's arm, but at the same time, it also creates a large number of enemies for the old lady.
After so many years in business, these people have an intertwined relationship background.
Especially a month ago, the old lady had just picked up the minions of Lijing Pavilion. It's not good. She would be betrayed overnight.
At that point, ...... yourself The livelihood in this house is all in the hands of the big house!
In a flash of thought, Zhao Qing leaned over and picked up the teapot on the kang table, slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old lady, "The old lady drinks tea." ”
Slightly stunned. The old lady reached out and took the teacup.
Zhao Qing took the opportunity to say, "...... Speaking of details, it's not all to blame these people, the granddaughter-in-law was in front of me at the time, in that case. Not to mention saving their granddaughters-in-law, even they themselves don't have time to escape. The words changed, "Besides, after all, they are not serving their granddaughter-in-law, they are not treacherous, and they beg the old lady to open up, but don't really give it all, otherwise, these people will hate their granddaughter-in-law to death." ”
She didn't even fall into the ground!
The eldest lady, who was determined to make a fuss, didn't believe her ears.
She looked at Zhao Qing with a strange expression for a while. I forgot to reply.
You can hear a pin drop in the room.
Catching up with Zhao Qing's secretly handed over looks, Huamei, who was already frightened, hurriedly and quietly dragged the eldest lady.
"What the old lady said is that these people should be beaten and beaten hard, and they are all the daughter-in-law who did not think about it before." After coming back to her senses, the eldest lady said, "In that situation, there are people who panic for a while, they are all old people for many years, and it is indeed a bit too heavy to be thrown out, which will chill people's hearts." also begged the old lady to give her daughter-in-law a face, but Zhu Gui was thrown out with 30 boards, and the others were fined three months of monthly interest, how about it? "It's a change from the previous strength. She looked at the old lady flatteringly.
The old lady's face sank like water.
"Old lady......" Zhao Qing was well-behaved like a baby, gently shaking the old lady's arm.
"Alright, alright, my old bones are about to be shaken apart by you!" There was a kind of love in the soft tone that even the old lady herself didn't notice, conniving, and looking at Zhao Qing's eyes was full of relief.
She defused a huge crisis for herself!
Just now under the righteous indignation. As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Today, I really tore my face with the eldest wife, intimidated by my years of accumulation, even if I won in the end, I drove away these people, and while breaking the eldest wife's arm, I also planted a curse for myself, and the gains outweighed the losses.
It's no better than it was in the past.
The business is in the hands of the big house, if she doesn't want to be used by the big lady to empty herself, she has to immediately support a person who can compete with the big house, but looking at the second room, how can there be a man available?
Unless you find someone with a foreign surname!
As the ancestor of the Shen family, how could she lure the wolf into the house and give up the inheritance of her ancestors to someone with a foreign surname?
But she and the ambitious lady were already frozen there!
Ready to fly, have to send!
Qingmei Huamei is already scared silly.
The only Zhao Qing has irreconcilable contradictions with the eldest lady, with her pungent temperament, she has already burned high incense if she doesn't fan the flames at this time, and the old lady doesn't expect her to help turn around.
If only Tian's mother were here.
Even if the second wife is here, it would be fine.
Although he has no opinions, but with the temperament of the second wife, he will be busy and muddy, hoping that big things can be turned into small things, and the world will be peaceful.
Just as he was out of whims, Zhao Qing opened his mouth unexpectedly.
At a young age, he was able to understand the mystery of this, and was able to let go of such a deep personal grudge to help her solve the siege, this heart, this vision...... Even if the third master is reborn, he can't be out of the right!
The old lady looked at Zhao Qing carefully.
The moon-white plain brocade gown is wrapped around a thin waist that has been somewhat rounded and slightly loose, the chin is much sharper than when he first entered the mansion, and the delicate and picturesque little face is thin with only a pair of bright big eyes, which makes people feel distressed when they look at it.
This month, she has not had an easy time!
Inexplicably, the old lady's heart was suffocated.
“…… Just dispose of it. She said slowly.
Qingmei exhaled at the same time.
I was scared to death just now!
Suddenly, I realized that after a while, the clothes on the two of them were soaked.
The eldest lady's expression was also light, and her gaze at Zhao Qing was a little complicated.
Just as she was about to speak, the little maid knocked on the door and came in.
“…… The big man is back. ”
As soon as the eldest lord sat down, he heard that Zhao Qing, who had just experienced a dangerous situation, was personally picked up by the old lady, and the second master and second wife of Rongshoutang also hurried over.
At a glance, seeing Zhao Qing, who was sitting next to the old lady like a well-behaved baby, the second wife was stunned, and then showed a smile, but she didn't dare to step forward and ask her again.
After a moment of scramble, everyone sat down again.
The eldest lord talked about the process of looking for Zhao Qing's life-saving father.
“…… Actually let it rot to the stomach? The old lady looked at him incredulously.
"Commander Fu said that it is a blessing for Xue Ying to be rescued by him." The eldest lord nodded, "Let's rot this matter in our stomachs, and don't mention it to anyone in the future." Don't go around preaching, looking for it, people don't like us to repay the favor at all. ”
“…… How so? The second old man asked blankly.
Everyone looked at the big man.
The old man shrank back.
Don't even look at me, I don't know.
The old lady was thoughtful. "What kind of mission are you doing here?" It is inconvenient to reveal his identity, and he is even more afraid of leaking it.
"It should be a military general who is higher than Commander Fu......" Zhao Qingdao said.
"Why?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Qing in unison, and the second wife asked.
"At that time, Commander Fu seemed to be going to give him a military salute...... Zhao Qing said what he saw at the time, "Looking at his skills and the posture of those people, they should all be military generals." "A man from the army. Standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, with their special style.
The old lady nodded.
"Where do you think he will come from?" In his tone, he unconsciously relied on Zhao Qing.
Everyone, including the eldest master, looked at Zhao Qing quietly, as if waiting for the master to solve his doubts, and they didn't think that she was just a thirteen-year-old girl, dozens of years younger than herself.
"Commander Fu is the highest military general in the local area, if Engong is the commander of other provinces or the general of the local garrison, Commander Fu will never be so humble, this seems to be. Engong must be in the military department or military camp, and his status is much higher than that of Commander Fu...... "Thinking that in addition to the military department, the current military generals are gathered and the jurisdiction is higher than the local troops, only the Western Expedition of the Seven Princes, Zhao Qing's voice came to an abrupt end.
She thought of the rumors that the Western Expeditionary Army would have to transfer grain from Tanxi Province as soon as it passed the Beilou Pass.
Could it be that you are here to transfer food?
This is a top-secret military secret!
The thought flashed, and Zhao Qing's face turned pale.
The old man had risen to his feet.
"Are you saying that they are the people of the Seventh Prince, and they are here to transfer grain?" The voice trembled slightly, and the old man's face turned red.
"Maybe it's from the military department, I'm not sure." Zhao Qing shook his head. "If he comes to transfer grain, he should go with the deputy commander to ......deal with it." This kind of life and death event involving the life and death of the two armies and the tens of millions of grain hoarders in Tanxi Province is involved. Without sufficient evidence, how dare she speak out.
"I must have come to fetch food!" The eldest lady slapped her face, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so mysterious!" Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he said, "The two of them left one after the other, maybe it was for the eyes and ears of the eunuchs." In fact, I have already made an appointment to meet somewhere. ”
This statement is quite reliable, and everyone began to talk about it.
The atmosphere came alive all at once.
Zhao Qing was sent back to Lijing Pavilion by Qingmei Huamei, and it was already over.
Xia Zhu, Qiuju and others, who were in a hurry, immediately surrounded them.
“…… The third grandmother scared the slave to death. Xia Zhu's tears fell, "It was rumored earlier that you were going down the mountain in advance, and Wang Degui's family took the slaves and maids to the carriage to wait first, but when the second wife came down the mountain, I didn't see you, and the slaves and maids inquired and found out that Wang Degui's family actually brought the slaves and maids to the carriage of the fifth lady!" Everyone's carriage is exactly the same, the coachman is not in front of him, and he can't tell who is who, Xia Zhu blamed himself again and again, "It's all to blame for the slave maid, and I fell into Wang Degui's house." "Today, if her third grandmother has three longs and two shorts, she will be unable to say goodbye.
"Okay, it's fine." Zhao Qing patted her on the back, "People have calculations, no matter how much you take precautions, it's useless." The topic changed, "How is Chunlan?" ”
"The left lower leg is broken, and the doctor has already beaten the board and is lying in the house." Dongmei's eyes are red.
A group of people came to Chunlan's house, and Chunlan was struggling to get up.
“…… Don't move! Zhao Qing held her down, "If you don't grow well, you will become a cripple, and you won't be able to marry in the future." She said half-seriously, half-teasingly.
"Third grandmother......" Goodbye Zhao Qing, Chunlan was suddenly separated from the world, how could she be ridiculed, called the third grandmother, and then she couldn't speak, and her tears fell like broken beads.
For the haggard Chunlan, Zhao Qing also had a sense of separation.
She shook Chunlan's hand tightly.
Coming out of the Chunlan house, Zhao Qing turned around and instructed Qiu Ju Dongmei, "The eldest lady has promised Ming'er to invite Mrs. Fang to the mansion, Ming'er, you two don't care about anything, specially entertain the people brought by Mrs. Fang, except for the things I asked you to inquire about, it is best for you to make friends with the eldest lady's personal maid who have nothing to talk about." ”
In order to send messages and send letters to inquire about the news in the future.
Coming here cleanly, her foundation is too thin, and she must seize every opportunity she can use to gather contacts! (To be continued.) )
