Chapter 691: Xiangling
Mrs. Xing's face was flushed when she was reprimanded by Mother Jia, and she was ashamed, and she was ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground and get into it, so that she could hide from people and not come out to meet people, so that she could be a hundred.
However, Mrs. Xing is a Qingming person in the end, and she knows that she can't hide.
In line with the idea that long-term pain is better than short-term pain, Mrs. Xing was silent for a long time before she replied: "Back to the old lady, I really can't do anything about this matter, the old man forced me to do this, what can I do as a proper woman? I have also advised the master several times, but the master will not follow my advice.
The old lady is the smartest person in our family, and she knows everything in her heart, so there is nothing she doesn't know, and I can't help myself!"
Mother Jia couldn't help frowning a little when she heard this, and she knew the temper of her eldest son Jia Yu even more.
Now that Mrs. Xing has made some compliments and grievances, she has made a soft heart, even Mother Jia can't help but feel emotional, and her anger has disappeared a lot.
However, although the anger in Jia's mother's heart is gradually dissipating, for Jia's mother, the anger still has to attack, that is, she scolded Mrs. Xing with her head and face, and spat and said, "Ridiculous, confused.
If he forces you to kill, will you also be able to kill with you?
Can our family still withstand the toss now? It's only been a few years since the East Mansion happened!
Have you forgotten all of them?
The decay of Ning Guofu, the lesson of the previous car and the teacher of the rear car, don't you feel ashamed and reflective at all?
You are like the master of the broom, who does nothing serious.
I have reduced everything else and done as you wish.
When has I not given you all the things in my house to use?
Is there a time when I am reluctant to deal with you?
But you are not yet satisfied.
In my house, there is such a long-term maid as Mandarin Duck, handy, and a caring person.
You will take her from me.
Is she the only one in the entire mansion who can't make it?
If your lord wants to take a concubine and marry a little wife, I will not embarrass you.
But if you make up your mind and fall on top of my head, then you don't think about it.
I was about to call your master over and ask him face to face if he still had me as a mother in his eyes.
If your family really has a maid, take the money out of me and buy a beautiful maid to put in the house.
I don't care what you want.
But my maid here will not be able to bring you evil. net
Mandarin duck, I still plan to leave her by my side to serve me for a few years, just like your lord serving me day and night, fulfilling the general principle of filial piety.
It is a coincidence that you came here today, lest I call someone to find you.
You go now, go and talk to your master, just say that I won't give the mandarin ducks, there is no room for negotiation.
You are the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, and it is most appropriate and appropriate for you to go and speak for me.
Come on!
So be it!
I'm tired, so I won't keep you longer."
After saying that, Jia Mu raised her voice, called someone in, and said, "Go and call them all over, and you are happy!" Why are they all scattered? It's not going to be fun."
The maids who were waiting in the house hurriedly agreed.
It's just that Mrs. Wang and the others are just living in Rongguo Mansion and can't escape.
Mother Jia called them over to speak, and naturally there was no reason not to go.
The same is true for Jia Tanchun.
His mother, Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia, is here, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate.
Only Aunt Xue and the others are different.
They do not live in the Rongguo Mansion now, but in the Yunfu next to it.
Therefore, no one mentions this matter.
Aunt Xue returned with the people of Yun Mansion, and she also looked at Xue Baochai along the way, and said, "Daughter, this Rongguo Mansion is really coming more and more from her own foolish nature, thinking that the old man is also a famous scholar, why is this big man so confused and ridiculous? This kind of messy thing, it comes as soon as you open your mouth, and you really don't treat people seriously."
Xue Baochai frowned, looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mother, there may be something strange about this matter. The mandarin duck is certainly beautiful, but the old man wants to take away the only handy maid in the old lady's house, and I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems."
Xiangling smiled and said, "What is there to guess about this? The matter is simple. It's nothing more than the word "wealth."
Hearing this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but look at Xiangling and asked, "Sister Xiangling, what's the solution to this matter?"
After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Xiangling smiled indifferently and said, "I secretly asked the maids in Rongguo Mansion before, how they have been treated recently, how the treatment of the masters is, and whether there has been any increase or decrease. If this economy is not good, the people below will feel it the most intensely and concretely. Often, the people above can see a lot of problems."
Seeing Xiangling talking a lot of nonsense, everyone couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Xiangling, you are confusing us, what the hell is going on?"
Xiangling shook her head: "Oops! You're stupid. The money in the house is gone, and I want to dig up the silver from the old lady's hands! If you think about it carefully, the mandarin duck is in charge of the old lady's private treasury, if the eldest man marries the mandarin duck, not only can you get a concubine and beauty who warms the bed, but what else can you get? It goes without saying!"
After Xiangling's explanation, everyone couldn't help but gasp for a while.
They had never thought about this until Xiangling put forward this idea, and they were really scary to think about it!
Among them, Xue Baochai was the most sensitive and interested in economic matters, and immediately said to Xiangling, "Xiangling, what does your brain think? Why did you think of this all at once?"
Xiangling smiled indifferently: "This old man has to be a mandarin duck, and he has a problem in itself. If it comes to posture, the female actors of the troupe who were bought back from Yangzhou Mansion before, their posture and appearance are not much worse than Mandarin Ducks, and there are female actors who are better looking than Mandarin Ducks, but the big man doesn't want them, but they only want Mandarin Ducks. If something goes wrong, there must be a demonic heart. In addition to the problem of silver, what other capital does Mandarin Duck have to make the old man angry and ask the old lady to warm the bed?"
Xiangling continued to say to everyone, "The economic problems of Rongguo Mansion are already quite serious. In the past, the construction of the Grand View Garden had depleted the treasury, and the income earned was almost negligible. And those old men don't care about the price of food and clothing, they squander at will, they are extravagant, and they have to raise so many little wives, the little daughters-in-law in the back, the human contacts, the slaves below are full of private pockets, etc., how much money do you say is enough for them to spend?"
