"Miss! The water for soaking the rice was too little. Today's rice is hard again. How can I eat it... Oooh, my hands are so clumsy..."
"Silly girl, weren't the beans you soaked last night stored in the east compartment? Everything you dig here will get messed up... Look at the ashes you made all over the floor, while I'm chopping vegetables..."
"Miss, I didn't see much dry firewood yesterday. I'll go to the kitchen to get some more... Huh! Those bastards, the fryers and tea cookers started eating and drinking again, waiting for the master to come back to see if I'm not cruel. File a complaint against them!"
"Okay, stop nagging. Brother Xiao has his own plans and his own difficulties. Let's not cause trouble..."
In the side courtyard, the two masters and servants washing vegetables and lighting the fire were Huniu and his little maid A Chou. When the entire Xiao family mansion was already eating and was about to leave, lunch for these two people had just started.
A Chou pushed open the cotton curtain, not knowing what she wanted to find, but when she took a closer look, she suddenly screamed and jumped up on the spot. "Little...Miss! Come out quickly...come out quickly!" A Chou burst into tears.
Hearing this, Huniu quickly picked up the curtain and walked out, but as soon as she took out her left foot, she felt as if she had been cast on a body-fixing technique and became motionless.
The side courtyard was not big, and the courtyard was already full of people at this time. Xiao Letian led the way, followed by Master Qing and Master Long. As for the bald guards, Huniu also knew them. Brother Xiao is back, the master is back, and Huniu's backbone is finally back.
Xiao Letian's face was livid with anger, while Jiao Si's face was pale with fright. He had always thought that Xiao Letian would not touch him for the sake of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but the whip just now made him sober. Xiao Letian was not from the Qing Dynasty at all, and he didn't care about the Qing Dynasty's rules at all.
Jiao Si'er, whose face was covered with whip marks, hurriedly walked over and said with a sneer, "Master, I have been wanting to ask for permission for a long time. How do you plan to settle this Miss Huniu? If she takes a concubine, what will happen to the inner house?" The monthly silver standard has to be determined by you, sir. Our accountant will not dare to disburse money without your words..."
Xiao Letian no longer had the patience to listen to Jiao Si'er's nonsense. He stared at the aggrieved Huniu, stretched out his left hand, grabbed Jiao Si'er's ugly face and pulled it to the side. Update as soon as possible
"Hu Niu...have you had lunch?" Xiao Letian said tremblingly.
"Not yet... not yet, it's just cooked..." Huniu held back the tears in her eyes.
Xiao Letian opened the cotton curtain, entered the room and saw Hao Xuanwu crying in distress. I saw a basin of white rice placed on the black table, and a plate of fried soybeans and radish leaves next to it. There was no trace of meat in it.
When Fu Qing saw the humble meal, without saying a word, he turned around and kicked Jiao Si in the chest, "Damn it, old pig dog, how dare you master me? You dirty bitch..." After saying that, he slapped Jiao Si in the face. A fistful of punches. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Jiao Si'er knew that this was a life-and-death moment, and he might die here if he was not careful. This old guy was huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, pleading endlessly.
"What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? I only wanted to do good for my master, so why did I get beaten in the end? Third Master, please calm down, wasn't I doing this for my aunt? What's wrong with me protecting the family business for my aunt!" "
"What on earth does it mean for a young girl without a matchmaker to live in the master's house? Are you raising her as a maid or as an aunt? You have to give us a guarantee, right? We have to recognize a clueless woman. Master? Then where do we put our aunt?"
"You bastard, you still dare to sow discord!" Third Master Qing clenched his fists and gave him a few more blows. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Let him say it!" Xiao Letian tore the cotton curtain off the door frame, and the cold wind blew into the room. "Let him speak, let him pour out all the bezoars and dog treasures in his stomach!"
Jiao Si'er also took the risk. Although the others were kneeling on the ground, their necks and eyes were full of dissatisfaction and resentment. "Sir, please ask the servants around you, how many times have I abused the Huniu girl? In the beginning, she was not a big fish. Yes? But sir, you must remember that Fuhui is your first wife, and the mistress of this family is the aunt of the Fucha family after all..."
"A few days ago, I just asked each room and courtyard to clean my own house. These two girls were dissatisfied and angry. Not only did they refuse to do it, they also splashed water on others and even started doing it in the inner house. Such unruly women, I I don’t know why I fell in love with it..."
"Not only that, she was picky about what she ate and she didn't like the food in the common room was bad, so she actually opened the fire herself... But just like that, I didn't stop her from going to the kitchen to move rice and noodles! They were both hungry that day. Why? Why are everyone scolding me now and saying that I am wrong! I don’t accept it, I just don’t accept it..."
When Xiao Letian heard this, he almost yelled with all the strength in his lungs: "Then let me ask you, why did Huniu move from the main room to the side courtyard? Who gave you the fucking right..."
Jiao Si'er was even more ruthless. He tilted his head and pushed it, "Rules...are the rights given to me by the rules of my ancestors! My aunt is the eldest wife, the madam, and the imperial decree. Please come to more and faster chapters." The big house must be reserved for Aunt Fuhui, this is an ironclad rule!"
"What does a concubine want if she doesn't live in a side house? Besides, Master, you didn't give her the status of a concubine. Now she is a woman with no status and depends on our family. If this is placed in Sijiu City , the seventh and eighth aunts of our Fucha family can beat her out, and beating her to death is just like crushing an ant..."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed angrily, "Ants? We are ants in your eyes? Just crush us if you want... What kind of rules are you telling me? What kind of bullshit rules are these? Tell me what the hell." Where are these bullshit rules down there?”
Xiao Letian looked around with eyes that no one dared to answer. In the end, Mr. Long leaned over and whispered, "Sir, this old bastard really has some rules..."
"What?" Xiao Letian was completely dumbfounded. He never imagined that there were really such rules in the mansion at this time, and the status of concubines was only slightly higher than that of maids. Update as soon as possible
Now Jiao Si'er finally regained some sense of victory. He pursued the victory and said, "Master, this slave is really public-minded and everything he does is in compliance with the rules. Why don't you give me Huniu's identity today?" The monthly salary has been fixed, and if the servant dares to deduct half a copper, he will immediately jump into the Haihe River and become a bastard..."
Xiao Letian's eyes kept getting dark. Huniu saw that it was not good and quickly went up to hold her back. Achou brought another chair for Xiao Letian to sit down. Update as soon as possible
"Okay, okay, you want an explanation, then I will give you an explanation today... From now on, Huniu will enjoy all the rights of the wife and move back to the main house immediately. All the money expenses of the inner house will be borne by Huniu. Determined...from now on Huniu and Fuhui will be...equal wives!"
With a bang, all the servants inside and outside the courtyard were in an uproar. Qingwen covered her mouth with several handkerchiefs and looked surprised. They kept thinking in their hearts that they were lucky, thanks to their flattery and betting on both sides, otherwise They also have to suffer in this conflict.
Jiao Si'er was shocked by the word "equal wife" on the spot, "What? What the hell... He's actually an equal wife! No, absolutely not..." Jiao Si'er jumped up from the ground and shouted to the servants in the garden. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"This is a random fate. Master, you have made Hu Niu faint. This is a random fate..." After saying that, Jiao Si'er knelt down in front of Xiao Letian and climbed over using his knees as his feet, holding Xiao Letian's thigh. Cry loudly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. ah!"
"Sir, after you get married to Aunt Fuhui, it's natural for you to marry into the Fucha family. It's no problem to raise the flag. With your knowledge and ability, you can get into the Three Flags even if you raise the flag. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. …”
"Master, please don't make a mistake. I beg you, please don't be confused... Oh, oh, Mr. Qing, please advise me. If you anger the imperial court, you will be beheaded..." "
Xiao Letian was so dizzy from the noise that he raised his foot and kicked the slave in front of him to the side. "This is my decision. Who the hell dares to change it? The worst I can do is take Huniu and leave this Qing Dynasty. The world is over." No matter how old I am, I am an upright man, and I will never be able to spend all my money in ten lifetimes, so don’t give me any bullshit rules..."
"Don't think that I don't know your details, don't you want to make a snitch? Go, hurry up and make a report! Someone, drag this old thing out of here..."
More than a hundred servants inside and outside the courtyard watched helplessly as the crying Jiao Si'er was dragged out. They all shuddered in their hearts. No one expected that Xiao Letian was so tough and didn't even care about the face of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Master Long, let our guards take over the work of these people first. Lock up the people brought by Jiao Si'er in the granary outside Zhuangzi and wait for my fate. Go ahead..." Xiang Shaolong turned around after receiving the order. Walking outside, a group of guards circled these old men from the capital together and blasted them away like wolves and tigers.
Just when the guards were about to attack women like Qingwen and Xiren, Hu Niu suddenly said, "Don't attack them. These girls are quite pitiful. Let them stay at home first. The granary is really not a place for girls to stay." of……"
Xiao Letian looked at Huniu in confusion and asked in a low voice, "You, you really want to keep them? Aren't you afraid..." Huniu gave Xiao Letian a hard look, "What are you thinking? The stinky man's mind is twisted again." Well..." After saying that, he pinched Xiao Letian's waist hard with his nails, and he grinned in pain.
The men that Jiao Si'er brought from the capital were all escorted outside the village by the guards, while the women all stood up behind Huniu with low eyebrows and obedient eyes.
Xiao Letian calmed down a little at this time. Looking at the already cold food in the room, he grabbed Huniu's hand and said, "I'm so sorry for you. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen. You Don’t worry, this will never happen again.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian even picked up the half-cooled rice on the table, "Anyway, this is also the fruit of a long day's work of you and A Chou. Come on, come on, Master San, sit down and have a bowl together. If you don't eat, you won't give me face..." …”
No matter how much the Fuqing family declined, a skinny camel would still be bigger than a horse. I had never eaten this kind of food since I was a child. I sat at the table with a grimace and took a big mouthful of it as if it were a Chinese medicine ball.
"Hey! Rice with uncooked rice? There's also sand..." The third master won the prize after just one bite. Xiao Letian still didn't believe it. "Really? It's impossible. I've tasted Huniu's cooking, so I won't be like this." Bad..." As a result, Xiao Letian stuffed a mouthful and won the prize as well. It is unprecedented to have such a thing between rice and rice.
A Chou said coyly, "Today's meal was not made by the lady, but by me..."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier...Qingwen, Xiren...didn't they all say that your craftsmanship is good? Hurry up and get a table of food and wine for the master. The sooner the better..."
Just as the women started to arrange the side dishes, Mr. Qing asked in a low voice, "Brother, it's okay to vent your anger, but you really can't be cruel to this Jiao Si'er. After all, the Queen Mother is standing behind him." Ah... Listen to my brother, you can give Hu Niu the treatment of a wife and pamper her a little more, but in terms of status, you still have to let my sister be the head of the house..."
"I'm just thinking about you. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I think Hu Niu is a sensible person. She should know your difficulties..."
Xiao Letian frowned and tapped the bowl of rice with chopsticks. "I don't know what you are talking about, but sometimes running a house is like making a pot of good rice. If it turns out to be undercooked from the beginning, think about it later." It’s not that easy to change... It’s better to be a little more difficult at the beginning than to go back to the trouble later!”
