"That must be related." Aunt Qiu smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Er was in distress yesterday, and the mothers-in-law who swept the courtyard were all responsible, so it was natural to open the gap from them." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qin family was a little uneasy, rubbing his fingers against the teacup, and muttered: "The mother-in-law is old and dazzled, and the poisonous snake is hidden among the flowers, and there are also negligence in the past. ”

Aunt Feng finally calmed down her heart, and sneered at this time: "The new official has three fires, and Aunt Xin doesn't take these people to be angry, but who are she looking for?" Are you looking for us? There's nothing we can do about it. ”

Aunt Gu's face turned pale, Liao glared at Aunt Feng, and said with a calm face: "This is ridiculous, where do you think about this matter, and it can't be planted on our heads, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Aunt Feng hurriedly laughed and said, "The concubine also means this." I'm afraid that Aunt Xin will make too much trouble, and she won't be able to end the scene when the time comes, and she will have to trouble her grandmother to clean up the aftermath. ”

"I didn't take responsibility for this, why should I deal with the aftermath? Tell me to say, let's put our hearts in our stomachs one by one, and it has nothing to do with us if Sister Xin makes trouble to the sky. ”

"That's it, we are talentless and virtuous, so we have to take a good look at how capable our Aunt Xin is."

"That's right, I heard that Aunt Xin used to be a young lady of the general's family, and she has been helping her mother take care of the house since she was a teenager......"

Several aunts in the hall talked and laughed, full of the happy atmosphere of watching the fire from the other side. I only hated that the Qin family couldn't beat them out with big brooms one by one, so that they couldn't laugh anymore.

*****************

"Aunt Mingjian, although we are in charge of sprinkling and cleaning in the lady's yard, we are not responsible for the backyard. Two years ago, when the prince was there, the emperor ordered strict frugality, and the backyards of all the gardens in our house were given to some experienced grandmothers, who served those flowers and crops, and in addition to going to the house every year, they could sell them for their own money, and the backyard of the lady was given to the Cheng family. When we went to clean up earlier, the Cheng family said that we deliberately made it bad and trampled on her flowers and plants, so we didn't go to the backyard for more than a year. ”

Xin Nian sat in the small flower hall, slowly stirring the floating tea in the teacup, and listened to the two mothers-in-law in front of him report on the situation in the Qin family's courtyard. After listening, she put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Your backyard is not small, there are five or six acres of land, such a big place, how many people are in the Cheng family?" Can you clean it up? ”

"Aunt doesn't know, the Cheng family has a lot of ability, there are no slaves and maids in this house, there is no one she doesn't know, relying on her man is the godson of the chief manager, talking on weekdays, no one dares to refute when she is idle, we are still the mother-in-law in the lady's yard, and we are still motionless under her control, and she can take many people to the backyard to pick and clean."

"Yes, yes, she has long said that the affairs of Madame's backyard have nothing to do with us, and we are not allowed to go, but if we go, we have bad intentions. Even the girls in the lady's room only went to the backyard once a morning to pick a few flowers and plants in a vase, and in this way, the lady also said that she would rather go to the garden to pick flowers if she had nothing to provoke. ”

Two mothers-in-law, you say a word to me. Xin Nian smiled: "I have also heard of this Cheng family, saying that it is extremely powerful, but I don't know that it is so big." Okay, you guys go down, don't lie to me at this time in order to clear up your responsibility, and I asked the Cheng family when I turned around, if you say no, then you will not be able to escape punishment. Do you understand? ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly said: "We don't dare to lie, even Mrs. knows about this, my aunt doesn't believe it, just ask Mrs. to know." ”

"Okay." Xin Nian nodded, watching the two mothers-in-law go down, she turned her head to Xinghua and said, "Did you hear that?" There's a lot of resentment. ”

Xinghua smiled: "Mother Cheng is indeed a little overbearing among the subordinates, and it is no wonder that people are angry. ”

Xin Nian groaned: "That Huang woman in the garden, if I remember correctly, she is relying on the power of the Cheng family, right?" ”

"Yes."

Xinghua nodded. At this time, I only heard the green leaves who had just entered the door interjected: "The Cheng family is bad, that Cheng's mother relies on her old qualifications, and she doesn't even have a master in her eyes, two days ago I heard her muttering in the garden, saying that the sixth young master and the fourth girl are blessed, and they are not as precious as grandma's child, Jin Zun Yu, and said that our young master girl may not be able to grow up safely......"

"Alright, where do you have to speak?"

Xinghua hurriedly glanced at the green leaves, and the little girl pouted and was unwilling to go out.

"This green leaf has a refreshing temperament, but it's just a little faster."

Chunyu was laughing on the side, Xinghua glanced at her, shook her head and said, "What do you really say, I didn't expect that one day, there would be someone more straightforward than you." ”

As she spoke, she saw that Xin Nian's face was wrong, so she cautiously stepped forward and said tentatively: "Auntie, don't be angry, these Diao slaves don't have a door in their mouths, once they become rampant, they dare to say anything......"

She didn't know that Lu Ye's words were touching the sharp thorn in Xin Nian's heart, and before she could finish speaking, she saw the master slap the table fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Is she rampant?" She is clearly a curse, a curse on my child's short life. Don't think that this is an unintentional statement, since she can run a huge force in the mansion, she can't say that she knows some of the master's secrets, which is also there. ”

Xinghua Chunyu's heart was in full swing at the same time, and he said in unison: "Yes." Slaves and maids must be careful in the future. ”

Xin Nian took a few breaths, then calmed down and said in a deep voice: "There are so many slaves in the prince's mansion, is it possible that the Cheng family's family is the only one?" ”

"Not really. The backer of the Cheng family is the chief manager, and the chief manager is the princess's confidant, so naturally no one wants to provoke him. However, there are also some decent old people who can't get used to them. Not to mention anything else, the mothers-in-law who often go to the concubine's courtyard to clean up are not angry in their hearts, saying that these people are too unruly, and they don't act like people in the palace, but like the girls and mothers-in-law of the nouveau riche. ”

"Okay." Xin Nian clapped his hands: "I'll just say, this is the Prince's Mansion, with a subordinate of her Cheng family, she can operate an iron bucket?" It's good if there is opposition. ”

"What is my aunt going to do?"

Chunyu's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands: In the past few years, she and Xinghua have suffered a lot of idle anger from her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and finally, the opportunity for the communiqué's personal vendetta has come.

Xin Nian glared at her: "Put away your expression, this smile is too bright, and I almost didn't write the words 'revenge for personal gain' on my face." ”

Spring:...... Yes...... Is it so obvious?

"Xinghua, you send someone to call the Cheng family. Besides, I have an important matter here that you have to do for yourself. Remember, this matter is related to whether we are proud or disgraced this time, so we must be cautious. ”

"Yes."

Xinghua's face immediately became extremely solemn, leaned into Xin Nian's ear, and after listening to her instructions, she couldn't help showing a little surprise on her face, but she didn't ask anything, nodded and turned around and went out.
