CHAPTER XXI

On the way here, the eldest lady and the second lady naturally saw the fish basket in the servant's hand, and when they asked clearly, the anger in their hearts was even worse.

A few shopkeepers were blocked in their yard, refusing to erase even a box of rouge, and every penny was counted cleanly, and she turned around and had money to send her subordinates.

The two rushed to the courtyard in a vigorous manner, Wen Shuse had already entered the house, and the eldest lady and the second lady went to the west wing where Xie Shao lived to knock on the door.

"Third brother."

"Third Brother ......"

Xie Shao ran all night yesterday, and quarreled with the sharp-toothed man on the street, quite physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to take off his shirt and bathe, and put his head back to sleep, when the door panel was suddenly photographed, and it seemed that he was going to unload the two door leaves before stopping.

Min Zhang has always been helpless against the little lady who is sprinkled, and only stands outside the door with a big lady and two women, "The son is resting, don't shoot the girls." "I don't dare to really get my hands on pulling people.

His ears were numb, Xie Shao closed his eyes and hissed, put on his clothes again, and opened the door, with no good face, "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest lady stood outside the threshold, and said with a look of grievance, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, she is too bullying, taking advantage of the absence of the third brother, she made the house restless, and her mother was so angry that she cried, and her grandmother fainted even more." ”

The second lady followed, "Yes, we can't recognize such a sister-in-law, the third brother still asked her where to come from and where to go back." ”

The words of the two were full of accusations and accusations against Wen Shuse.

Xie Shao was a little surprised, didn't Second Steward Wen manage it very well, and he didn't believe their words.

Turning his head, he just looked in the direction of the east house, and saw Xiangyun standing under the eaves, and said in a long voice, "Our third grandmother said, what is the suffering of the eldest lady and the second lady, hurry up and finish complaining to the third son, and wait for her to take a bath and come out to listen to the two ladies quibble." ”

Xie Shao: ......

The eldest lady and the second lady were shocked by that quibble, and when they reacted, they stomped their feet and cried, "Third brother, look, is she a dog." ”

Xie Shao had a headache and swept his eyes, "Who are you scolding?" ”

The second lady was choked and hurriedly said, "Third brother, you don't know what she did......"

I can't sleep.

Xie Shao entered the room and sat on the futon, dozing off, while listening to the two cousins constantly accusing his new wife, after listening for a long time, he finally understood, propped up his eyelids and asked, "You said she asked the shopkeeper to ask you for money?" ”

"But no, the shopkeeper of the shop came to reconcile the accounts today, she didn't admit a word, and the shopkeepers came to ask us for spice gouache money, and even my mother didn't let go of ......"

The eldest lady followed the arch fire, "In the past, who didn't know that the third brother was the most hurtful in this house, but as soon as she came, everything changed......"

A few people worked hard to complain in the house, Wen Shuse had finished bathing, changed into new clothes, and asked Aunt Qing and Mama Fang to move out the wooden bench and put it under the pear tree, and then prepare tea and pastries, and put on a posture of accompanying to the end, before letting Xiangyun call someone.

Xiangyun went to the west wing to deliver the message, but he didn't go up the threshold, standing under the treadway, still elongated his voice, "The third grandmother has finished bathing, and the eldest lady and the second lady want to ask for an explanation, just come." ”

The eldest lady and the second lady in the house leaned back angrily, "Look, how arrogant she is......"

Xie Shao rubbed his eyebrows, knowing that if he didn't show up today, he wouldn't be able to end the show, and wanted to see if the third grandmother was as arrogant as they said.

As a result, as soon as I came out of the threshold, I saw the girl sitting on a round bench under the pear blossom tree, with a begonia dress, a hairpin and beaded flowers, a fan in her hand, and a leisurely tea sip.

Xie Shao: .....

The eldest lady and the second lady are like wasps, "third brother ......"

Xie Shao walked over stubbornly, and Wen Shuse only asked people to prepare two round stools, one for himself to sit on, and the other for him to sit on.

Xie Shao was not polite at all, and after sitting down next to the little lady, he raised his hand and brushed his sleeves, "Your third sister-in-law is here, just say anything." ”

The eldest lady and the second lady had no seat, so they could only stand, and in front of Xie Shao, they could say back, this time they were really facing me, and they suddenly got stuck in their throats.

The eldest lady bumped into the second lady and asked her to speak first, the second lady only suffered a loss in front of Wen Shuse last night, and she was a little stunned, and she had to think carefully about what she said.

Wen Shuse was not in a hurry, waiting for them to think slowly, and after a while, the eldest lady spoke first, and did not call her sister-in-law, "Before you came, there was a group of harmony in the house." ”

Wen Shuse nodded and admitted, "I really can't do this, I'm not stupid, and I don't want to be wronged." ”

Xie Shao: ......

The second lady couldn't stand it, and immediately complained, "Third brother, she scolded you for being stupid." ”

He heard it, he didn't need her to repeat it, he scolded several times, and it was not bad this time, Xie Shao had a splitting headache, "Get down to business." ”

The eldest lady stabilized her mood, "The money spent by the Xie family in the shop is all counted in the monthly expenses, and this matter is also acquiesced by the second uncle and second aunt......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a movement behind him.

Uncle An hurried over with a few servants holding a pile of account books, and Wen Shuse followed the eldest lady's words and instructed Uncle An, "You read to the eldest lady, how much she spent last month." ”

Uncle An had already rolled these accounts, and read them out aloud after opening the account book, "The eldest lady took a total of 1,268 taels of silver in the account room last month for buying spices, gouache, silk, and jewelry, and in addition to the Xie family's shop, a total of 150 taels of silver were also credited. ”

Tsk, more than a thousand taels of silver, a month......

Being able to buy a set of yards in Fengcheng is amazing, even the second lady was stunned, and turned her head to look at her own sister.

The eldest lady's face changed, "Don't talk nonsense, one thousand taels of one is because I subsidized Aunt Gu's cousin five hundred taels, and the third brother specially rewarded it." ”

This is to make a face and make people beat, Wen Shuse is not soft at all, "The eldest lady should not know yet, I happened to see Aunt Gu's cousin being kicked out of the Xie Mansion that day, the five hundred taels of silver were not given by you, but by me, Aunt Gu has already come to the courtyard, and your third brother also knows that you deceived him of a thousand taels of silver tickets." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly looked at Xie Shao.

Xie Shao sat beside Wen Shuse, with a calm appearance without waves, it was self-evident, and the eldest lady's face turned white for a moment.

Wen Shuse continued, "If you don't come to me, I will also let people go to you, the account you owe, including my Wen family, please ask the eldest lady to settle the account within today." ”

Ignoring the eldest lady's look as if she was buried in the soil, she turned her head to look at the second lady again, "What about the second lady, you owe me the four hundred and eighty taels of silver from the Wen family, when will you pay it back?" ”

More than 400 taels on credit? She's really bold.

This time, the eldest lady was surprised, the second lady opened her mouth, her face was red for a while, and the other party said that she would keep it secret when she was on credit, but who knew that she was sold when she turned around......

"Uncle An, read the account book of the second lady."

Uncle An is happy to serve, "The second lady withdrew ...... in the account office last month"

—

The movement on this side of the garden soon reached the ears of the eldest lady, and the servant trotted all the way, and when he saw someone, he said, "The eldest lady is not good, the eldest lady and the second lady were grabbed by the third grandmother and sued the third son......"

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, scolded, "Is she going to turn the sky upside down?" and hurriedly sent Biyun over to take a look.

When Biyun arrived, not only the eldest lady and the second lady, but even the second son and the second grandmother were also passed to the courtyard.

Wen Shuse handed out a stack of account books, sat there upright, and said politely, "I'll bother you today, settle the accounts first." ”

The eldest lady and the second lady never thought that they came to complain, but in the end they became accountable, not counting, the hiding behind the two was also picked up in public, as if they had stripped off their clothes, their faces were gone, and their faces were blue.

The second lady has been pampered by the eldest lady since she was a child, and she was the first to attack, "I won't give it, what can you do to me?" ”

Wen Shuse smiled, "I can't do anything to you, we can only meet in court to repay the debt, go to the mansion to find your eldest brother, there should be valuable things in the second lady's house, sell it to pay off the debt." ”

The second lady pointed at her, "You! ”

"Since childhood, the master has not taught you, should people do what they can? The second lady doesn't know that she will have to repay the account sooner or later? ”

The second lady cried angrily on the spot.

The eldest lady snorted, "Isn't it just more than a hundred taels of silver, what good is it for you to use the third sister-in-law to mobilize everyone so much and force everyone to a dead end?" ”

It's an emotional game.

"I'm not a likable person, and I don't care about using silver to win people over." Wen Shuse didn't buy it, "I know that the eldest lady has saved a lot of private money, but there is no need to sell it, I will close the account today, the one thousand taels of silver tickets, the eldest lady will take it back tomorrow, don't deceive people easily next time, it will be too embarrassing to be exposed." ”

The eldest lady was also angry with her.

The second grandmother saw that the two sisters-in-law were crying angrily, and stepped forward to add oil and vinegar, "My brother and sister are really majestic today, in the end, we are just people with foreign surnames, and you ......have offended people this time."

"Is it the second sister-in-law?" Wen Shuse interrupted her, and when she saw that she didn't say anything, she knew that she was not mistaken, sighed lightly, and said kindly, "You still persuade the second brother to go to the shop less, I learned from the Wen family's elder brother that the little lady inside will cheat money, usually a pot of wine is dozens of copper coins, and when they get there, dozens of taels or hundreds of taels, the second brother must have been deceived, otherwise how could he have paid more than six hundred taels of wine on credit......

The second grandmother was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the second grandfather in dismay, "You, you went to Yidian?" ”

Fengcheng Yidian is full of girls, who doesn't know what kind of business they do.

The second son's face was flustered, and he hurriedly explained, "I, I was also forced to be helpless, and I was pulled up by someone......."

The second grandmother grabbed him, crying and beating, "I gave birth to children for you at home, you are chic, and you went to Yidian, you have no conscience, I don't live anymore......"

Biyun rushed over, saw this scene, and his heart "chuckled", and hurriedly went over to pull away the second grandmother, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Shuse recognized it, it was the eldest girl Biyun in front of the eldest lady.

Just right.

Wen Shuse called, "Aunt Biyun." ”

As soon as Biyun looked over, Wen Shuse said, "The eldest lady didn't come today, just when you brought a letter back with her, just say that the third prince is busy with daily affairs and has no time to manage the accounts, and I am the housekeeper, and you are not convinced, from today onwards, to avoid such conflicts in the future, we will take care of our own affairs, and we will not have an account room in the second room." ”
