Chapter 44: Palm Beads
As soon as the twins saw Wen Zhu, they were like mice seeing cats, they immediately threw away the abacus in their hands, stood up straight, and did not squint, Wen Xiaoju on the side put down her feet, reached out to pick up the two abacus, pushed a sister with one hand, and then kicked the stunned Wen Ju with her foot, and walked straight out.
Wen Zhu also kicked Wen Ju, and Wen Ju, who had woken up, gave her a blank look and walked out quickly. Sun Mu finally broke free from under the sheet after a long time of hard work, but the sheet was specially taken off by the Wen sisters from the big bed in Mei Ge.
Wen Zhu looked surprised, pointed at Sun Mubai and said, "How can my sister-in-law be so embarrassed?" As soon as the words fell, Sun Mubai's already bulging arms fell out of a lot of bamboo slips, Wen Zhu took a step forward, picked up the bamboo slips, looked at them a few times, and saw that Sun Mubai's face was embarrassed, and he suddenly had a plan.
Wen Zhu smiled very brightly, and said: "If my sister-in-law wants to read a book, just say it, why bother to move the book yourself, no wonder a few maids treat you as a thief." ”
Sun Mubai muttered a few times, did it himself, took out the bamboo slips from his arms, bowed slightly, and went straight out, but heard Wen Zhu's voice behind him: "In the future, the son-in-law of the Sun family will come to read again, send a small servant to follow, and don't let him move the books by himself." ”
Sun Mubai was ashamed and angry, there was a hot pain everywhere on his body, he just wanted to escape from here quickly, went out of the Wen Mansion directly, got into the carriage, and called someone to call Wen Xiaomei.
Wen Zhu went to release Wen Xiaomei in person, and whispered in her ear, Wen Xiaomei nodded again and again.
Seeing his father-in-law, he couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, Sun Mubai really couldn't lie down or sit flat, so he kept lying on Wen Xiaomei's knees aggrievedly, holding Xiaomei's hand tightly, and exhaled in pain after a slight bump.
Sun Mubai said sullenly: "Sister Niangzi is so fierce, let's not come back in the future." Wen Xiaomei was stunned, and Sun Mubai said again: "Think about the room full of books, or come back often." Immediately crying and laughing, he held his hand and wrote in his palm: September 20, the third sister's birthday, come back then.
Sun Mubai was overjoyed and said happily: "Your third sister will not have time to take care of me on her birthday, so I will go to the study for a day." After that, he kept giggling, but it caused the pain in his abdomen, and the expression on his face was very funny for a while.
Wen Xiaomei looked funny, and said in her heart, the third sister has no time to take care of you, so I'm afraid that the eighth sister is very idle.
Wen Zhu came back to the room, and saw that a group of sisters were there, dominating the table in her room, Wen Ju sat there and glared at her dissatisfied, the twins stood aside with the same hatred, only Wen Xiaoju held a chess game with one hand, and said to Zhao Cai who was standing opposite her: "This backgammon is also interesting." ”
Before Wen Zhu could speak, there was a maid, and Master Wen came. The article came in with a gloomy face, waved his hand, and cast a sympathetic look at the young ladies and retreated with interest.
The article's expression immediately changed, and he looked at the daughters with accusatory eyes, and complained: "It's all because my father is used to indulging you too much, and you are so lawless that you don't know how to call your father together for such a fun thing." ”
After a pause, he said: "Your sister's brain is turning fast, and the son-in-law of the Sun family doesn't know that he was beaten by a few of you." Zhu'er too, hid early to watch the excitement and didn't send anyone to call Daddy. ”
Wen Ju and the others knew that Wen Zhu had been hiding aside and peeking for a long time, letting them mess around, so they couldn't help but stick out their tongues, and the resentment in their hearts disappeared.
The article looked left and right, and saw that there was no one near the left, and said in a low voice: "Your aunt invited a grandmother from Xufu to you, saying that she should teach you what it means to be a woman and a woman's virtue. ”
turned to Wen Zhu and said loudly, "Your fifth sister is married, but you are in charge of this house." With a sanctimonious look, after that, he felt out the small seal from his sleeve, which was the seal of the master.
Wen Zhu stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't know where to start, and said in his heart, wait for tomorrow to call Wen Fu's family and ask carefully.
Wen Ju and the others were reported by the article, and they were in a mess for a while, and went back to their rooms in a gloomy manner, Wen Zhu finished washing and lay at the head of the bed, thinking of today's excitement, I felt quite funny, that Sun Mubai was beaten by a few sisters-in-law, but it was not a grievance.
When I thought of Luo, I felt upset again, the hurt of the previous life was still there, and I would never talk about love and trouble again in this life, thinking that the two shops were gradually on the right track, so I looked for no longer going out of the house in the near future, remembering that Luo promised his brother that he would return home when the March period expired, and he would hide from him for another two months.
Gradually, I was tired, I fell asleep unconsciously, and had a strange dream, in which I traveled all over the world and bought a baked cake, and the seller of baked cakes became Luo in a blink of an eye, and entered a restaurant, and the little two eyebrows and eyes that greeted him were the same as Luo, and he stepped on the street, but he saw that the sky was full of Luo Shen's haunted figure.
In the morning, Wen Zhu sat on the bed in a daze, not yet awake from the dream, Zhaocai came to serve her to wash, she reached out and pinched Zhaocai's face, rubbed and rubbed, it was difficult for the little girl, frowning and not saying a word, but it made Wen Zhu more and more suspicious.
When Jinbao came in, he was concocted in the same way, and Jinbao begged for mercy again and again, Wenzhu came back to his senses and strengthened his determination to never leave the house within two months.
After washing, he ordered someone to call Wen Fu's family and asked her what she had to do to run the inner house, and the Wen rich family already understood the methods of the three young ladies, so they didn't dare to slack off at all, and said respectfully: "The main thing is the distribution of silver for the next month in the house, the food and clothing of the ladies and ladies in the house, and the dismissal and employment of the subordinates." ”
"Well, is there a convention? Go and show me the ledger. Wen Zhu commanded.
Wen Fu's relatives went to get the account book, and after a while, Wen Zhu took it and checked it carefully, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows gradually frowned.
Seeing that it was clearly recorded in the account book, there were six first-class big maids, six second-class little maids, eight third-class rough maids, two nurturing grandmothers, and four daughters-in-law; The wife has four first-class big maids, four second-class little maids, six third-class rough maids, two nurturing grandmothers and two daughters-in-law.
And the ladies of Wenfu, including Wen Ju's concubine, are all the same, two second-class little maids and one grandmother. In terms of food and clothing, it is even more unbearable, and it is even a grade with the big girls around the ladies and wives, and even the upbringing is not as good as the mother-up.
Closing the account book with a snap, Wen Zhu was secretly frightened, how could Miss Madame be so bad? The lady is married to a foreign surname, but the daughter is biological, the young ladies should be better, how can they be on the same level as the maid?
