Chapter 15: Begging for Money
The small Ji family looks calm, but in fact, there is a dangerous undersurge, and each has a ghost.
Ji Yuexi naturally didn't know when the danger would come from, she only knew that Lily suddenly had a high fever in the afternoon, and she needed medicine, but she didn't have any money.
Ji Fu's daughter-in-law, it's time for her to settle an account of the fact that her monthly money was deducted.
Ah Qiang and Ah Cai were put in her yard to guard the lily, at first they refused to cooperate, Ji Yuexi casually ordered a few hemp holes, and then fed them two pieces of mud balls that they kneaded casually, and the casual clothes softened.
The dirt here is definitely cleaner than it is in modern times, and they have done a lot of bad things, which can be regarded as a slight punishment.
It's still useful to keep it, so take your time like this.
"If the poison on your body still wants to wait for me to solve it, let me guard it here, Lily is missing a hair, and you have been living in the pain of paralysis of your limbs, and then you died of poison."
Before Ji Yuexi left, he glanced at Ah Qiang, who had a bad idea, and smiled lightly, "Don't think about going to other doctors for treatment, only I have the antidote." ”
The hole can last for an hour, and she goes to ask for money, and the time is enough.
Today, Ji Yuexi's trouble with the third aunt has been spread all over the world, and now as soon as she appears in everyone's field of vision, everyone avoids her like a monster.
A person who is crazy enough to threaten the third aunt with a knife is hard to guarantee that he will not come and stab you with a knife in the next second.
Ji Yuexi was not moved at all, but took out a dagger from his sleeve and shook it several times, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's better that the entire Ji Mansion is afraid of her, otherwise they will think that she is easy to bully.
Just like that, I came all the way to Steward Li.
Steward Li is the eldest lady's person, and now the eldest lady is the highest status in the concubine room, and she is still the concubine of a county magistrate.
is also the one who has been with Ji Zhengrong for the longest time besides her mother, after her mother's death, Ji Zhengrong remembered the relationship between husband and wife for many years, and raised her to the position of the main wife, which became the eldest lady today.
Steward Li is naturally the person she promoted, but now she is disdainful in the face of Ji Yuexi.
In the end, he is also the old man of the Ji Mansion, and he is the subordinate of the lady in charge of money, and the monthly money in the mansion depends on his face, and now that Ji Yuexi is coming, he doesn't raise his eyes.
"Steward Li, I said, when will I pay my monthly money this month?"
Ji Yuexi walked in front of him with his knife, his tone was threatening, watching him unmoved, and the knife in his hand was even more powerful.
She holds the scalpel steadily, and now that the dagger is in her hand, it is natural to play naturally.
Steward Li had already gone to find someone to move the eldest lady on the way over from Ji Yuexi, and now he knew that what he was doing was delaying time.
"Second Miss, the conscience of heaven and earth, the monthly money in this house has never been deducted, I don't know why the second miss came here to complain about injustice?"
He has eaten Ji Yuexi's monthly money all these years, and he also has a hundred silver taels a year, but now he is reluctant to spit it out.
He said that he lied, and he still looked wronged, so that outsiders could see it as if Ji Yuexi was deliberately embarrassed.
"I took it?" Ji Yuexi glanced at him, and the knife in his hand floated even more, "Steward Li has to touch his conscience when he speaks, if I don't see my monthly money, what do you say?" ”
When the words fell, Ji Yuexi threw the dagger in his hand fiercely.
The technique passed neatly and accurately through Steward Li's head, piercing his hat against the wooden window behind him.
Under the small threat, Steward Li's soul was about to be scared away by her.
People die for money, birds die for food, Steward Li thought of so much silver over the years, and only spoke after a while:
"Second Miss, you have to be reasonable, the money is all lilyed, and there is a lily painting here, you can't slander people."
Lily can't read big characters, every time she comes, she takes her own silver taels, and listens to the housekeeper who asks her to draw a charge and obediently draws it, but she didn't expect this layer at all.
Now, this housekeeper's account book has Lily's handprint on Ji Yuexi's money every month.
Seeing this, Ji Yuexi was so angry that he directly gritted his back molars, wanting to give Steward Li a knife.
This black-hearted thing, that is, her mother is gone, Lily is illiterate, and he has been deceived for so many years, and the silver she got is estimated to be more than a little less.
Now that she has found out, she must seek justice for herself and Lily, but Ji Yuexi has not yet started, and on the other side, the eldest lady has already come.
"Wait!" The eldest lady watched Ji Yuexi come here to make trouble, and her face turned black directly.
Knowing what she was doing on the third aunt's side today, she was naturally happy when she saw the third aunt eating deflated, but she didn't expect Ji Yuexi to come to her territory again at this time.
Could it be that you are also here to settle accounts?
can straighten out from a concubine's room, and can also sit firmly in her position when the third aunt is favored, the eldest lady is not as kind as she seems.
People who can sit firmly in this position naturally have some wrists in it.
Now that his own people are being bullied by Ji Yuexi, if he sends people out like the third aunt at this time, he will definitely lose his majesty in the future.
"Big Lady!"
The housekeeper hurriedly ran to the eldest lady's side, looking timid, looking like he was being bullied by Ji Yuexi.
The eldest lady saw him like this, her face was a little more ugly, but she still put on an amiable appearance and walked in front of Ji Yuexi.
"Why did the second lady come here today to talk about something? If you are dissatisfied with your monthly money, shouldn't you find your mother first? ”
Now that the eldest lady has been straightened, she naturally transferred to the eldest lady's knees, and it stands to reason that she should be called a mother.
If it was Ji Yuexi in the past, he would definitely abide by etiquette, but now Ji Yuexi is different from the past, and directly "bah" and spit on her.
"Big lady, I respect you as a lady to give you enough face, you are a concubine, rob my mother's position, don't pretend in front of me."
Ji Yuexi was sick to her stomach when she saw her fake appearance.
The original owner once thought that he would be taken care of by the eldest lady when he knelt to the side of the eldest lady, but in fact?
She was far inferior to her own and lived more miserably than a servant.
At first, the eldest lady was still willing to be pretty, but then she didn't even pretend to be pretended, and directly replaced her yard with the current small yard, completely snubbing her.
Because she can't get Ji Zhengrong's favor, she naturally has no value in the eyes of the eldest lady.
Ji Yuexi's move was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the eldest lady.
At this moment, the mother-daughter relationship naturally can't go on, and she snorted coldly at Ji Yuexi.
"Second Miss, you have to speak with your conscience, I am now the eldest lady of the Ji Mansion! When you see me, you should salute! ”
"I'm still the future princess! You're going to bow down to me when the time comes! ”
Ji Yuexi smiled unruly and scolded her directly, "Don't pretend in front of me, I only need silver, and you have deducted my monthly money all these years, and you will spit it out for me!" ”
It was the housekeeper who swallowed her monthly money, and the eldest lady knew about it, but she only turned a blind eye.
This time is different from the past, Ji Yuexi's attitude made the eldest lady's heart chuckle, and her momentum dropped by half at once.
She turned her head back, looked at the housekeeper hiding behind her, and scolded: "What about the second lady's monthly money?" Didn't you, as a housekeeper, personally send it to the second lady? Could it be that it is corruption! ”
"The eldest lady is aware of it, even if I have eight hundred guts, I will not deduct the second lady's monthly money!" Of course, it was impossible for the housekeeper to admit that he was corrupt, his eyes rolled, and he immediately changed his attitude, "The slave family will go and check where the money went!" ”
"Check it out right away! I have to give the second lady an explanation! ”
The two of them sang and harmonized in front of Ji Yuexi, just pretending to show her.
"The housekeeper had better check carefully, if I go to the Dingwang Mansion at the beginning of next month, maybe I won't be talking to you like this."
Ji Yuexi walked to the wooden window unhurriedly, pulled out the dagger that had been stabbed into it, and took the hat on the butler's head in his hand and played with it.
"I heard that King Ding has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and he must know a lot of torture, if he comes at that time, he will definitely be able to help Steward Li find out who the murderer is!"
She laughed, laughing wildly.
There was no threat in his tone, and the words that came out were combined, but they frightened the butler.
That's right, if Ji Yuexi really becomes the princess of Ding, his head will not be protected!
Steward Li panicked, hurriedly took out all the silver in his pocket, and almost knelt in front of Ji Yuexi.
"Second Miss, I'll find you the rest of the monthly money right away, you take it first."
This full bag is estimated to be a hundred taels of silver, which is Ji Yuexi's monthly money for a year, and she smiled even worse when she saw the housekeeper's appearance.
"Housekeeper, my monthly money is only a few dollars, you give me so many ...... at once"
"No more, no less, this is the ...... it should be"
The housekeeper took his hat from her hand with a weak heart, and didn't give Ji Yuexi another chance.
has a weak heart, and suddenly exposed his greed for silver, and now the eldest lady can't save him.
Ji Yuexi has money in his hand, and there are important things, he wants to go out to buy medicine for Lily immediately, and he doesn't want to continue to delay here.
"I don't need to give me any less money tomorrow, Steward Li, you know what I mean, right?"
Dropping this sentence, Ji Yuexi was about to leave, glanced at the servants watching the play outside the door, and added:
"If other people in the mansion are also deducted money, even if they come to Miss Ben, I will definitely give everyone justice!"
She knew that there were not a few people like Lily and her who were deducted money by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper always used different reasons to deduct money, and those people were all people who had signed the deed of sale, and there was nothing they could do about the housekeeper.
But what Ji Yuexi can't look down on the most is such a person.
When passing by the eldest lady's side, Ji Yuexi naturally didn't let her go.
"Eldest lady, I remember that when my mother was alive, she received a lot of rewards from the concubines, and now that I am ready to get married, I don't need you to keep it."
After she finished speaking, the eldest lady's face completely collapsed.
It turned out that Ji Yuexi still remembered!
However, the money had already been filled into her eldest daughter's dowry......
