How can I not be moved in my heart?
The candlelight jumped slightly, but the two hands were tightly held together. The warmth conveyed from the palms of Aunt Zhou was something Wei Jingwei had never experienced in these years.
Have a sweet dream tonight.
Early morning, Ci'an Hall.
Wei Jingwei brought Nanny Zhou to Ci'an Hall early in the morning and introduced her to Mei's mother, Mei Xiaoqin.
Upon hearing that she was a nun from the palace, Mei Mu also restrained her usual rudeness.
Smiled and nodded.
Mei Xiaoqin looked at Nanny Zhou unblinkingly, not daring to speak casually.
"From now on, Nanny Zhou will teach my sister the rules. Half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon every day will be enough. After Nanny came out from the palace to serve the nobles, she went into the Liu Mansion to teach her the rules. She taught her the rules. Needless to say, those who came out. Many ladies from aristocratic families are proud to be taught by Grandma Zhou, and the ladies who have been taught by Grandma Zhou will gain a lot of respect in their husband's family when they get married." She smiled and said: " It was also very difficult for me to get Nanny from my grandmother. We should treat Nanny well. My sister must also study hard and live up to my wishes."
Mei's mother showed a smile on her face, nodded repeatedly, and praised Wei Jingwei, who was sitting next to her, saying: "You did a good job this time, and you spent a lot of effort on Xiaoqin." She turned to look at Mei Xiaoqin, "Thank you very much. Your sister-in-law."
Mei Xiaoqin was already overjoyed when she heard that she could win the favor of her husband's family during her marriage.
He smiled and said to Wei Jingwei, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Wei Jingwei shook her head and laughed, but said nothing.
She has given this gift. It depends on whether Mei Xiaoqin can escape from Aunt Zhou.
It's not easy to satisfy grandma. According to her temperament, she may have to shed her skin even if she doesn't die.
This makes her feel good, and the shopkeeper said that the business at the cosmetics and cream shop is very booming, so Wei Jingwei plans to triple the amount of money in the yard this month.
Furthermore, she has already paid out this month’s monthly silver. From next month, the expenses of the servants in the Mei Mansion will no longer come out of her money. After raising them for so many years, not only will they not have any People remember her well, but she also raised a pack of white-eyed wolves.
It's also time to let them know who controls their livelihood in Mei Mansion.
"Su'er, no more money will be paid to the servants next month. Leave it to Mei Xiaoqin to worry about."
Su'er smiled and nodded, her crescent-like eyes crescent.
"My slave has long been dissatisfied with those maids and women. They all live off the young lady's money. They have raised such a gang of people, but they don't respect the young lady at all. Now I have cut off their money. Look at those people. What else is there to say?" Speaking of where she was angry, she frowned and said, "There were several times when I heard these servants gathering together and blatantly speaking ill of you, Miss. It really pissed me off."
"Look how angry you are. What bad things did they say about me?" Wei Jingwei was also very curious.
Su'er paused for a moment before saying reluctantly: "They said, Miss, you are in poor health and cannot have children. You will have no children in your life. If you don't take care of yourself and not upset your wife and Miss, you dare to do it again and again." And it would be unwise for San Di to confront them head-on. And even if you succeed with your words for a while, if your wife and husband are angered that day, you will be driven out of Mei Mansion with a divorce letter. Then you can beg for mercy. It’s all useless.”
Su'er was also furious and recounted the vulgar words spoken by the servants in full.
After hearing this, Lian'er angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know what's going on with the words of those heartless people outside? You even brought it up to the young lady and said it, which will only make her unhappy later." ”
"Slave......"
Wei Jingwei waved her hands and didn't care, "Okay, Lian'er, don't worry, the servants outside have said these things. I haven't heard any unpleasant words in this year. If these words can be If I am angry, I will be angry to death."
"My lady, you are still happy. Last time you went to the kitchen and beat up that mother. Now that our life in Hongxia Pavilion is finally getting better, you still have to take action to repair these people who have no sense of inferiority in their hearts. Servant, and you don’t know yet, the maids and women outside are always ostracizing us from Hongxia Pavilion. They demote us to the ground, and lift Ci’an Hall and those who serve around me to the sky. It’s really unreasonable.”
Lian'er finished speaking angrily, her mouth like a sawed-off gourd.
Wei Jingwei didn't want to pay attention to these people's rumors and said indifferently: "Don't listen to the nonsense these people say. Let's live our lives well. Also, go and gather the people in our yard. I have something good to do." Announce."
As soon as Lian'er heard that it was a good thing, she was full of energy and hurriedly walked outside. After a while, a large group of people gathered in the yard.
Looking at the maids and women who usually served them, Wei Jingwei said:
"I know that since you followed me and came to serve in Hongxia Courtyard, you have suffered a lot of grievances and exclusion."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mother-in-law and maids below quickly said: "We are lucky to be able to serve Madam. Those people outside are ignorant and don't know Madam's benefits. The slaves don't care. The slaves just want to Please serve Madam well in Hongxia Courtyard and do your best. Madam’s words are really flattering to us."
A stout woman with a loud voice said loudly: "Yes, madam, we people are prepared to follow madam all the time. As long as madam doesn't drive us away, the old lady is prepared to die in this yard."
A woman next to me laughed and said, "When you get old and can't do any more work, you won't be able to stay here to occupy your position."
Wei Jingwei knew that if he wanted them to do things for him and sincerely treat himself, he still had to show some attitude.
"If you are willing to stay and work in my place, as long as you are sincere to me, I will definitely not abandon you when you are older."
As soon as she finished saying this, the mother-in-law and the maids all looked very excited. They quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Slaves, I am willing to serve my wife for the rest of my life!"
She paused, then continued to smile: "Today I asked Lian'er to call you, and there is one more thing I want to announce. You may have been following me for a long time, and you have always been with me when I was in the most difficult time. After a lot of suffering, I didn’t say I wanted to leave. Of course I believed your sincerity, but..."
"It's not enough for me to just thank you. I also hope that you can live a good life. Those of you who are loyal to me, Wei Jingwei, I will not treat you badly. So, I made a decision. From now on, all of you, Yueyin On the basis of that, all the silver will be tripled.”
