Song Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Steward Zhong, you remind me that the inner courtyard will arrange another person, in short, she can't let things be controlled by her." ”

"Coincidentally, today's eldest lady asked the slave maid to recommend a candidate to lead the inner courtyard, and the slave and maid pushed Mama Liu, Mama Liu is an old man in the house, and she is a fellow villager with the slave maid, she is the most suitable, and the slave and maid will explain to her later."

As she was talking, Qing'e came to ask for instructions, saying that the eldest lady was unwell and wanted to ask Dr. Wu.

"Didn't she just do well?" Mama Cui was puzzled.

Qing'e said: "The lady is just holding on, last night the lady was busy until midnight for the birthday banquet, and she kept coughing." The lady also said that she regretted taking the housekeeper's errand, and was afraid that her body would not be able to hold ......"

Song Yao gave Mama Cui a look: "You go and invite it in person." ”

Mama Cui understood and nodded.

Mama Cui went to invite Dr. Wu and went to find Mama Liu when she came back.

Mama Liu is instructing the servants to clean up the garden, leaving no dead ends.

She is now full of energy and wants to repay the eldest lady for her kindness.

Mama Cui came to her, and she was not surprised.

The two went to a secluded place to talk.

"The eldest lady wants to propose a head of the inner courtyard and ask my opinion, I think you and Mama Wang are qualified, so let's ask your thoughts first, do you want to be the head of the inner court."

This technique is too familiar to Mama Liu.

In the past, there was a good errand in the house, and Mama Cui was in this tone, holding a flatbread and asking if you wanted to eat it, and then watching her performance.

The so-called manifestation is filial piety.

If the eldest lady hadn't told her in advance, she would have emptied her money bag to fight for the head of the inner courtyard.

Mama Liu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and her eyes lit up: "Yes, of course I want to." ”

Mama Cui coughed dryly twice and stopped talking, only looking at Mama Liu quietly.

Mama Liu understands, this is waiting for her to bribe!

But do you really want to pay for it?

The eldest lady said that she would announce it in a few days, but she was not the head of the inner courtyard before the announcement. In case it annoys Mama Cui, what if Mama Cui goes to Mrs. to blow the wind in her ears and has an accident?

Forget it, don't offend this villain.

Mama Liu pained to untie the money bag, and there were probably more than two taels of silver in it, all of which were given to Mama Cui.

sneered: "I only have so much left in my hand, and I hope that Mama will say a few kind words for me to the eldest lady." ”

Mama Cui flipped her money bag and frowned, this is too little.

Helplessly, she has already recommended Mama Liu to the eldest lady, and now it is too late to regret it.

"There's one more thing you need to answer me."

Mama Liu smiled flatteringly: "Don't say one, a hundred deserve it." ”

Mama Cui was very satisfied with her attitude: "After you become the head of this inner courtyard, don't forget who is the master of this house, what does the eldest lady ask you to do, you have to report to me on everything, understand?" ”

Mama Liu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I understand." ”

"This family, the eldest lady is not long, you also know that she is not in good health, after the birthday banquet, the lady will take back the right to take back the power of the family, as for you, the head of the inner court, if you behave well, I can let you continue to be."

"Yes, yes, I'll do well." Mama Liu was sincerely perfunctory.

But there is another plan in my heart: after the eldest lady successfully held a birthday banquet, the status of the eldest lady in the house will be different, even if the eldest lady is no longer the head of the house, she secretly works for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will not treat her badly, didn't the eldest lady say? Even if she doesn't belong to the family, give her ten taels a month! In the future, when the lady is old, isn't she still the eldest lady in charge?

In the evening, the kitchen brought the decocted medicine, and Jiang Wanning took a sip and was slightly stunned.

This medicine has been added!

And the portions are more than before.

At this dose, I'm afraid she won't live until the end of the year.

Jiang Wanning put down the medicine bowl: "This medicine is too bitter." ”

Qing'e persuaded: "The medicine is bitter, the lady drinks it while it is warm, otherwise the medicine will be more bitter when it is cold." ”

Jiang Wanning frowned: "You go and get some candied fruit." ”

Qing'e went to get the candied fruit, and Jiang Wanning took the opportunity to pour the medicine out of the window, and then made it look like she was drinking the medicine.

It was pouring rain outside the window, and the liquid was quickly washed away by the rain, and there was no trace to be found.

Qing'e took the candied fruit, Jiang Wanning put down the medicine bowl, her facial features wrinkled, and said vaguely: "Give me the candied fruit." ”

Qing'e smiled: "Why is the lady afraid of suffering now?" In the past, the medicine was more bitter than this, and the lady didn't frown. ”

Jiang Wanning took the candied fruit and eased her heart: "I used to have a light mouth, I didn't taste anything I ate, and I didn't feel bitter about bitter medicine, but now that I can taste it, I can't drink it." ”

How could the original owner not be afraid of hardship? It's just that the original owner wants to get better too much, but who knows that all he drank obediently is poison.

"Qing'e, you go and tell Dr. Wu, can you make the medicine into a pill and swallow it, I really can't drink this medicine."

Qing'e said: "The slave will go tomorrow to speak." ”

Qing'e removed the medicine bowl, Jiang Wanning looked at the dense rain curtain outside the window, the wet and cold air hit her face, and a layer of small pimples rose on her skin.

The chill in my heart condensed into frost in my eyes.

She didn't want to do things too desperately, as long as they stopped here, she was willing to let them go, and try to leave the Song family by peaceful means, and from then on they had nothing to do with each other.

Now, it seems, there is no need for this.

It is still possible to live if you do evil in heaven, but you cannot live if you do it yourself.

There is a price to be paid for harming others.

The next day, Wen Liu prepared the fabrics that the Song family wanted and sent them in person.

Jiang Wanning asked Mama Wang to count the fabrics, and ordered someone to send Mrs. Wang's and Wu Niang's materials respectively, as for Aunt Wei's share, she had to send it in person.

Jiang Wanning took Qing'e to Chunhui Hall to see Wen Liu.

Entering Chunhui Hall, Jiang Wanning saw Wen Liugan sitting, and no one was waiting for a cup of tea, so her face sank immediately.

"Who's here to serve?"

A maid stood up: "Back to the eldest lady, it's a slave." ”

"Mr. Wen worked hard to deliver goods to the house, but there was no one to serve him even tea, how should I punish you for being so lazy and rude?"

The maid was not afraid of her: "Back to the eldest lady, Shicai Qilang asked the slave maid to go to the kitchen to get some snacks and take them to the school, the slave maid just came back, and she didn't have time to serve tea." ”

Jiang Wanning sneered: "Qilang has a servant and a servant by his side, so he can tell you to run errands?" If you don't keep your duty, you go to curry favor with Qilang, who can you hide from that little bit of thought? ”

The maid shouted: "The eldest lady has wronged the slave and maid, it's really not that the slave and maid deliberately came to Qilang, the slave and maid...... The slave and maid were just passing by. ”

"Shichiro went to the school, and he couldn't get here either way, and he dared to quibble. Fortunately, you are guilty of committing a crime in front of me, and if you let your lady know that your mind is not pure, she will immediately betray you, and now, you will kneel in the court for two hours, and then there will be a next time, and you will not be spared. ”

Qing'e wanted to speak several times, but held back.

The servant cried and went to the court to kneel.

Jiang Wanning said: "Qing'e, go make tea." ”

Qing'e hesitated for a moment and left.

Wen Liu saw that the little lady already had a bit of the demeanor of being a housewife, and she was very relieved.

"Ah Ning......"

"Uncle Wen, accompany me to play a scene later."

Wen Liu was surprised, what kind of play is he playing?
