After she finished speaking, she looked impatient and motioned for Wei Jingwei to step back.
Wei Jingwei sneered in her heart, it was indeed a wild boar wearing human clothes, but it didn't even look like it. It only took more than a year for Mei's mother to transform from a peasant woman in the countryside to a wealthy lady in the capital, and she knew only a little about many rules and etiquette.
I have never heard of the mistress of that family actually having to apologize to a naughty slave.
In addition, Mei's mother behaves very vulgarly and stupidly on weekdays, and has a bad temper. Wei Jingwei once reminded her of the rules when the two of them went out to a banquet in Beijing, but she stopped reminding her after she came back angrily.
After making a fool of herself at the banquet, she blamed Wei Jingwei for being incompetent. There are countless such bad things.
After taking a moment, Wei Jingwei turned around and took the account book that Su Er had prepared.
Read: "Yesterday, Ci'an Hall consumed a total of five ducks, four chickens, six fish, three bags of japonica rice, and one bag of millet. In the previous two days, Ci'an Hall consumed a total of four ducks, five chickens, three fish, and more. There are several crabs..."
Seeing Mrs. Mei look at Xing'er who was crying fiercely, she stopped and gave an accurate figure, "My wife, this month alone, the kitchen has spent a total of three hundred taels."
After she finished speaking, she stopped talking. What was the situation of the Mei family before she married in? It was just plain porridge and vegetables all day long. The whole Mei family's faces were green after eating.
Listening to these numbers, she was not convinced that there was no idea.
Three hundred taels, how long is enough for ordinary people to eat?
Seeing her say this, Xing'er raised her head in a hurry, "Madam, Xing'er has always served you with care and dedication. My mother also takes good care of your food in the kitchen. She also always cares about your health, fearing that the food is not suitable for you. Taste. That’s not her type.”
Mother Mei's heart that had just been relieved suddenly came back. Looking at Xing'er who was crying in tears, she waved her hands helplessly, "Forget it, let it go. They won't do it next time. Wei, don't be so reluctant. I tell you....."
Wei Jingwei raised her head, frowned and said, "Madam, I want to say something that shouldn't be said. If you blindly indulge these thieves, I'm afraid it will affect the Mei family's reputation if word spreads, and it will also be very detrimental to my career."
Hearing what she said, Mei's mother grasped the armrests of the chair and turned her head to look hard, "What do you mean?"
"To put it mildly, these things are because the servants below are stealing things for themselves. To put it more seriously, it is because the family tradition of my Mei family is not strict and the hands of the servants below are not clean. If word spreads in the future, I will still be an official in the court. If someone Knowing that he can't even take care of his own family, how can he take care of other things? How can he still have a chance of promotion in the future?"
Although her purpose was to look good to these unscrupulous slaves and let them understand the situation, she was also telling the truth.
The same was true for these servants in the previous life. The old lady was conniving, so she could only cover up the scandal in the house in every possible way. Otherwise, it would be a joke for Mei Yuanqing to achieve the position of Minister of Rites.
It was about Mei Yuanqing, and Mei's mother couldn't sit still.
She lowered her head, kicked Xing'er away hard, changed her attitude and yelled loudly: "What a bastard, I didn't care about any of your little tricks in the past. I didn't expect that." It will have an impact on my son’s career! There is absolutely no room for you. Come on! Drive Mrs. Li and Myolie out of the house."
Xing'er couldn't believe it, how could her wife change her face in the blink of an eye and hurriedly apologized. The arrogant look he had just now suddenly disappeared.
Crying is called a pear blossom carrying rain and is pitiful.
It's a pity that she, a thin maid, is no match for the stout woman, so she was quickly dragged out like a dog.
She could be heard begging for mercy from a distance.
When things got to this point, the servant below looked at Wei Jingwei obviously differently. There was a kind of awe in his eyes that he had never seen before!
After experiencing this, Mei's mother was both angry and frightened. She sank into the chair, and several maids rushed to the front to pour tea and water and beat their legs.
Wei Jingwei laughed in her heart. She just said she wanted to protect her, but now her personal interests were involved, so she drove him out ruthlessly.
The maid and mother-in-law were kicked out because her hands were dirty. What other options were there? Look at the Mei family, from top to bottom, they are all equally cool.
Having achieved her goal, she bowed and left.
On the way back to Hongxia Courtyard, the breeze blew softly and felt particularly comfortable on her face.
The warm sunshine above her head seemed to clear away all the haze, making her feel indescribably happy.
Lian'er Su'er followed on both sides, laughing and joking, "Miss, I didn't see it just now. The maids and women in the old lady's yard used to look at us with their nostrils. When Miss exited just now, they actually saluted." .”
Lian'er laughed out loud as she spoke, feeling particularly happy.
Su'er has a calm temperament, but her slightly arched eyebrows also revealed that she was in a good mood.
Wei Jingwei walked slowly and said with a smile: "You have worked hard in the past to suffer with me." It won't happen anymore.
That night, the meal at Hongxiayuan was unexpectedly rich.
In the past, Hongxia Courtyard was extremely frugal.
Today, the servants entered Wei Jingwei's room carrying plates of delicacies, covering the entire carved table.
After Mrs. Li left, the new Mrs. Xu knew about her behavior, and the food she brought was rich and delicious.
This meal was the happiest meal that Wei Jingwei had in her previous life and this life, and she was rewarded with many dishes.
The entire Hongxia Courtyard was filled with joy.
Early in the morning, while Wei Jingwei was still asleep, she heard a very unruly voice.
"What are you two damn girls trying to do to stop me from even visiting my sister-in-law? I'll report it to my sister-in-law later and sell you to Goulan Washer to be that lowly kiln girl, huh."
She was arrogant and rude. Neither Su'er nor Lian'er was her match, yet they actually let her in like this.
After Wei Jingwei was woken up, she sat up on the bed, her black hair hanging loosely, and her fair and pink cheeks still showed anger that her dream had been disturbed.
She looked directly at the other end of the door and saw a very extravagantly dressed girl walking in quickly, with a look of arrogance on her face.
After seeing her, he even complained angrily: "Sister-in-law, your two maids are really unruly. I am the serious master of the Mei Mansion, and they actually stopped me from seeing you. When I saw you... Do you need so many rules? You are my sister-in-law. Such maids should be beaten before they become obedient."
Wei Jingwei looked at the arrogant and unreasonable girl in front of her. This was Mei Yuanqing's only biological sister, Mei Xiaoqin.
In her previous life, she was not kind to Mei Xiaoqin, and the Mei family was not well-off, but Mei Xiaoqin liked beautiful jewelry and expensive clothes, and often came to her small warehouse to get things. She even spent money on a lot of clothes and jewelry outside, and she accepted them all.
