Chapter 40: Reprimand
The woman glanced this way, then glared at the maid viciously and reprimanded in a low voice.
"How do the masters get along? How can you have the right to speak, close your mouth, don't turn around and get into trouble, our family is the second master's home after all, what does it have to do with you? ”
Hearing this, Mama Xu, who was waiting close to Madame, stopped her steps about to give Madame Jujube Ren'an Divine Tea, turned around a little puzzled, and asked curiously.
"What are you two doing here? Madame is ready to sleep, no one is allowed to make noise, don't you know? ”
The two of them snorted in fright and fell to their knees, and then the two begged for mercy again and again, and the mother whispered.
"Old sister, it's really an accident, the slave maid and the others also know that the lady is going to sleep, but there is one thing that is not unpleasant, it is really pitiful to look at the second grandmother, and please let my sister go in and say goodbye!"
As soon as she heard that this matter was also related to the second grandmother, whom Madame had paid special attention to recently, Mama Xu always listened to Madame talking to herself, and felt that she owed something to the second grandmother, so she turned around a little puzzled, and then asked in a low voice.
"What's the matter, but the second grandmother is not feeling good today? What's the matter, just tell me, I'll go back and go back to our wife, the matter of the second wife is the most important thing in our whole house, you can say it quickly, don't sell it. ”
When the grandmother heard this, her mind shook slightly, but she was still unwilling, if a second-class person wanted to see his wife, he could only rely on what his wife was interested in.
At the moment, Madame is only interested in the matter of the young grandmother, shouldn't she come forward to ask Madame to see Madame in this matter?
"Old sister, there are some things that we can't say in front of people, I can only tell you one thing first, our second grandmother and second grandfather are now living separately, this is what I saw with my own eyes, do you think this matter is serious?"
When Mama Xu heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, obviously not believing in this matter.
"You old thing, don't open your mouth, do you know that tonight, Mrs. specially instructed the second master to move back to live, and even the bed in the study has been removed, where can the second master live? If this is nonsense, go back and let the second master know, the second master will definitely beat you out, this time is different from the past, our second master is in a bad mood. ”
The grandmother took a very firm stance and said in a resolute tone.
"Old sister, how dare I dare to speak out about this matter among the masters, you think too highly of me, I am at least waiting in front of our wife, although I am not as decent as my sister, but I also know the truth that I can't sell the master in private, who do you think of me? This is true, and there is no truth at all. ”
As soon as I heard this, it was obvious that this thing was true, and more importantly, this thing had already been known to this old man, what if I let others know about it?
Mama Xu frowned, and said a little reluctantly: "You follow me into the inner distance, I will go to ask you to see Mrs., but after meeting Mrs., you can't say that you can say this, you have to say that you saw it, you can't say that it was passed on by others, if you listen to others, this matter will be a big trouble." ”
This is not simple, this is a matter of taking the credit on herself, the mother-in-law naturally agreed repeatedly, and quickly nodded and said.
"Okay, old sister, you just have to rest assured, I will do what my sister told me, let's go and see Madame quickly, don't be too late for a while, Madame is asleep."
Mama Xu brought people into the inner courtyard, and when she saw that Mama brought a person who was waiting outside into the courtyard, the others were naturally a little curious, and several little maids came up to ask.
But seeing Mama Xu's serious face, the maids all closed their mouths, and waited cautiously for Mama to come out after asking to see Madame.
The mother-in-law was waiting outside, and as soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she couldn't help but be speechless, no wonder everyone wanted to serve the master, just that kind of carved beams and painted decorations were extraordinary, not to mention these little girls around the lady.
The ones who were dressed like a daughter, so beautiful, it could be seen how they did their work on weekdays, and the dirty and smelly ones were all done by those people in their outer courtyard.
Trying her best to hide the unfairness in her heart, the mother-in-law smiled and took the initiative to say.
"All the girls are like fairies, and they are really beautiful, as soon as my mother-in-law, who has never seen the world, enters the door, I suddenly think that I have entered the fairy cave, girls, I am fine."
Seeing the two sentences, it pleased everyone, and everyone laughed, and one of them looked at her a little puzzled, and then smiled and asked.
"Mom is out waiting, isn't she? A few of our sisters also go out from time to time, and we know that there is a mother who guards the door for my wife, but it's you, your old man doesn't even enter the inner door on weekdays, why did you come here today? ”
After listening to the deliberate approach of these girls, the mother-in-law also knew what these girls were for, just to find out the information.
But this matter can't be said to others, and the mother-in-law just pursed her lips and smiled, seemingly not very smart.
"Naturally, I have something to ask Mrs., I have a little matter at home, and I want to ask Mrs. to reward me with two pieces of silver, this is such a thing, my wife is sick, and the family is also sloppy, and I can't compare to the blessings of the girls, and enjoy happiness in this courtyard."
When the maid heard this, she smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything else, but silently stayed away from the woman.
It just so happened that at this time, Mama Xu, who had just entered the house, poked her head out, opened the curtain and beckoned, and softly called the mother-in-law over.
The mother-in-law immediately walked in, and as soon as she entered the door, she first went around to the back and kowtowed to Mrs. Xie, but it was a pity that Mrs. Xie was concerned about the affairs between the children at the moment, and she didn't care about these false courtesies, so she hurriedly said.
"Hey, don't be polite, if you have anything to do, let's get down to business, there's no trivial matter between these children, you can say it quickly, and tell me what's going on? With such a fuss, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest well at night. ”
Mama Xu, who heard Mrs. Xu's words, hurriedly stepped forward to rub her head for Mrs., and whispered persuasion while rubbing it.
"Madam, don't worry, as the old saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, children have their own blessings, why should you be too anxious? I think it's also our young master and young grandmother who have their own ideas. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie just waved her hand and told her to stop talking, and then stared at the mother-in-law in front of her with burning eyes.
The woman knelt down in a panic and nervously talked about what had happened.
