Chapter 6: Compromise
"Guizhi, go out and see what's going on, the people in this courtyard are becoming more and more unruly." Mrs. Tai's flat voice came from the gauze tent.
The first maid Guizhi got up from the bunk next to the bed, answered "yes" in a low voice, first lit a candle and put a lampshade on it, and then retreated with very light steps.
When Mama Shui saw the light reflected from the window, she suddenly rode the tiger hard, it seemed that Mrs. Tai had been alarmed, and if she said that it was okay after a while, a meal would be indispensable, but if she really reported the third lady's fainting, and then it reached the ears of the eldest lady, then wouldn't she offend the eldest lady? How good is that!
Thinking of this, Mama Shui was anxious and angry, she hatefully threw a few knives at the old Lai family, swearing that if she escaped this time, the necessary peeling of the skin of the old Lai family could relieve the hatred in her heart!
Lao Lai's family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that things had been done, as for the rest, the biggest thing was just a meal, no matter how bad it was, even if it was kicked out, wouldn't there be Aunt Wen.
Gui Zhi walked out and saw two people standing by the flower bed, one of whom was still in charge of guarding the water grandmother under the porch, so she naturally walked over.
"Mama Shui, what's going on? Mrs. Tai was awakened, if it wasn't a big deal......" Gui Zhi pointed out.
Shui Mama's cheeks twitched, and she hurriedly said: "Miss Guizhi, that's the case, the third lady of the big house suddenly fainted, and the maid was also stunned, it is estimated that the third lady was raised here by Mrs. Tai, and she actually came to Songhe Hall, and the old Lai family also had no opinion, so she looked for me in a panic, I was embarrassed for a while, this old man actually shouted out, really, alas! ”
Lao Lai's family saw Guizhi set his eyes on her, and secretly scolded Mama Shui in her heart for not slipping her hands, but she pretended to be panicked and didn't know what to do, and she couldn't say a word.
Gui Zhi frowned, knowing that things were not so simple, but it was about the safety of the third lady, and she couldn't grasp Mrs. Tai's attitude, so she couldn't make the decision for a while, so she asked the two of them to go with her and wait outside the door curtain first.
Gui Zhi lifted the curtain and went in to make a report, and saw half of the gauze tent tied to the tent hook, and Mrs. Tai was wearing her clothes and half-sitting against the pillow.
"Did you make it clear what was going on?" Seeing Guizhi's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but have some doubts.
After such a short while, her mind cleared up a little, and the anger naturally disappeared a little, thinking that if something hadn't happened, no one would have made such a loud noise.
Gui Zhi bent his knees and said: "Mrs. Hui, it turned out that the third lady suddenly fainted, and those girls had no master, so they came to you, and they were too ignorant to go to the eldest lady, and they came to disturb your dreams." ”
"Where's Ah Shui? Didn't stop it? Mrs. Tai said displeased.
Gui Zhi hurriedly said: "The mother-in-law who guarded the door had soft ears, so she couldn't help but plead, so she came in and told Mama Shui that Mama Shui couldn't make up her mind, and the mother-in-law somehow shouted loudly. ”
This is remarkable, first of all, it is said that the mother-in-law's ears are soft, who knows if her ears are really soft or she has received benefits and ignores Mrs. Tai.
Mama Shui is too, an old man who has been serving for several years, and she can't even deter a mother-in-law who guards the door, which is really useless.
After Gui Zhi finished speaking, he raised his eyes and secretly went to look at Mrs. Tai's expression.
Mrs. Tai frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "What happened during the day today?" ”
Gui Zhi hurriedly said: "There is such a big matter, I heard that the third lady naughtily hurt the eldest lady's dog, at that time the eldest lady was socializing with the distinguished guests who went to the banquet, and was a little angry for a while, so the banquet was hastily ended, and the third lady was invited over afterwards, who knew that Aunt Wen's beloved daughter was worried that the third lady would be punished, so she begged the lord to go over, but she didn't expect to anger the lady, and after ordering someone to take the third lady down, the lord punished Aunt Wen, and the third miss fainted when she couldn't stand it. ”
Mrs. Tai heard what else she didn't understand here, Xuan'er couldn't stop the Jiang family in the past, which shows how arrogant the Jiang family is, but she does have arrogant capital, after all, the future crown princess is the daughter of her in-law.
Thinking of this, her expression was gloomy, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritable, I'm afraid that in the future, she will only be able to live in a corner of this mansion! She closed her eyes and said with a tired look: "Okay, you go in person, take my pair of cards and immediately go to ask Dr. Li in the house, and order him to treat the three girls." I'm tired, wait for me to rest. ”
Mrs. Tai coughed twice after speaking, and Gui Zhi immediately brought a cup of honey water over and served her old man to drink it.
She knew that this was because Mrs. Tai didn't want to worry too much, and now that she knew the attitude of the above, the people below would be able to do things easily.
It seems that even if the third lady has been raised by Mrs. Tai for some time, she has not left much of a deep mark in Mrs. Tai's heart. That's right, after all, the eldest lady Zhuyu is in front, and the bright future is there, but in the future, she will glorify her ancestors, what is the third lady.
When Gui Zhi took the pair of cards and was about to go out, Mrs. Tai said to her back: "The rules in the yard should be physiological." "Since it's in her yard, it's better to be reliable.
Gui Zhi turned around and asked hesitantly, "Then, Shui Mama?" ”
Mrs. Tai said lightly: "I don't need useless people here."
Gui Zhi bowed his head respectfully when he heard this, and he understood what to do with Shui Mama and the Mama on Night.
And the outer Shui Mama and Lao Lai's family were worried, and they were all thinking about how to put all the responsibility on each other when Mrs. Tai passed them in.
But after waiting left and right for a long time, they didn't see Guizhi come out to let them in, and finally, Guizhi came out.
Mama Shui and Lao Lai's family were in high spirits, and said secretly: Here it is!
Who knew that Gui Zhi ignored them, and only said lightly: "You all go down, you won't be on an errand in the house from tomorrow, and you will pack up your things tonight." ”
Mama Shui was dumbfounded, it shouldn't be! Didn't she just stop people and chase her away? Anyway, she has been with Mrs. Tai for three years! For this little thing, you have to let her get out?
Lao Lai's family couldn't help but be stunned, but she had a way back, and she didn't feel much uncomfortable.
Gui Zhi finished speaking and was about to leave, but Shui Mama came back to her senses when she saw this, and excitedly stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, with hope in her eyes, and asked anxiously: "Miss Gui Zhi, aren't you joking with my wife?" I have served Mrs. Tai for three years, how can I say that I will be driven away? ”
Gui Zhi pulled his sleeve out of Mama Shui's hand, and said meaningfully: "Yes, Mrs. Tai has the most important rules, you have served Mrs. Tai for three years, you should understand Mrs. Tai's preferences better than those who are not in the stream." ”
Mama Shui trembled her lips, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, she suddenly raised her head, her face was hideously distorted, and she said with the last glimmer of hope: "I want to see Mrs. Tai!" I'm not convinced! ”
Gui Zhi knew that she was actually angry, but she still hardened her heart and said: "If you obediently pack up your things and leave, you still have fifty taels of pension silver to get, but if you insist on seeing Mrs. Tai, then you won't get a penny!" ”
Mama Shui now understands that Mrs. Tai is determined not to keep her anymore, and no matter how much she entangles, it will only be disgusting, thinking of this, she hid her face and cried.
