Mrs. Xing's face turned red after being scolded by Jia Mu, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it, so that she could not come out to see anyone, so that she could get away with it.
However, Mrs. Xing is a Qingming person after all and knows that she cannot escape.
In line with the idea that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Mrs. What should I do? I have tried to persuade the master several times, but the master has refused to follow my advice.
The old lady is the smartest person in our family. She knows everything in her heart. There is nothing she doesn’t know. I can’t help myself! "
When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but frown a little, and she knew even more about her eldest son Jia She's temper.
Now that Mrs. Xing's flattering and aggrieved words made her soften, even Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and her anger immediately disappeared a lot.
However, although the anger in Jia Mu's heart was gradually dissipating, for Jia Mu, the anger was still coming out, and she scolded Mrs.
If he forces you to kill someone, don't you have to follow him and kill someone too?
Can our family still withstand the hardships now? That thing happened in Dongfu only a few years ago!
Have you all forgotten?
The decline of Ning Guofu is a lesson learned from the past and a lesson learned from others. Don’t you feel any shame or reflection at all?
You are like the master with the broom, you don't do anything serious.
I have reduced other things to suit your wishes.
Everything I have in this house, when have I not taken it out and used it for you?
Is there ever a time when I can’t bear to argue with you?
But you are still not satisfied.
Yuanyang is the only long-term maid in my house, a considerate person who is handy and easy to control.
You are going to take her away from me.
Is she the only maid in the entire mansion who is indispensable?
If your master wants to take a concubine or marry a young wife, I will not make it difficult for you.
But if you make up your mind and it falls on my head, then forget it.
I was about to call your master over and ask him face to face whether he still sees me as his mother.
If your family really needs a maid, just take the money from me and buy a beautiful maid to put in the house.
I don't care what you want to do.
Only my maid here can't bring harm to you. .net
Yuanyang, I plan to keep her by my side to serve me for a few years. This is just like your master serving me day and night, fulfilling his filial piety.
It's a coincidence that you came here today, so that I wouldn't have to call someone to find you.
You go now and talk to your master. Just say that I won't give you the mandarin duck and there is no room for negotiation.
You are the housekeeper's wife. It is most appropriate and appropriate for you to speak for me.
okay!
So be it!
I'm tired, so I won't keep you any longer. "
After saying that, Jia Mu raised her voice, called for people to come in, and said, "Go and call them all over, so you are so happy! Why are they all scattered? They must not be happy."
The maids waiting in the house hurriedly agreed to go.
It's just Mrs. Wang and others. They live in Rongguo Mansion and can't escape.
Jia Mu asked them to go over and talk, so there was no reason not to go.
The same is true for Jia Tanchun.
His mother, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Mu are here, so it would be inappropriate for him not to go.
Only Aunt Xue and others are different.
They do not live in Rongguo Mansion now, but in Yun Mansion next to it.
Therefore, no one mentioned this matter.
Aunt Xue led everyone back from the Yun Mansion. She looked at Xue Baochai along the way and said, "Daughter, this Rongguo Mansion is really following its own foolish temperament. Come to think of it, Mr. Zheng is also a famous scholar. Why? Why is this old man so confused and ridiculous? He just opens his mouth to talk about such random things, he really doesn't treat people as human beings."
Xue Baochai frowned, looked at Aunt Xue and said: "Mom, there may be something fishy about this matter, but it's not necessarily true. The mandarin duck is beautiful, but the old man wanted the mandarin duck and took away the only one who was handy in the old lady's house. Maid, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems."
Xiang Ling smiled from the side and said, "What's there to guess about? This matter is simple. It's nothing more than wealth and sex."
Hearing this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but look at Xiangling and asked: "Sister Xiangling, what's the explanation for this?"
After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Xiangling smiled calmly and said: "I secretly asked the maids in Rongguo Mansion how they are being treated recently, how the masters are being treated, and whether there is any increase or decrease. If the economy is not good, the people below will The feeling is the most intense and concrete. Often the people above see a lot of problems."
Seeing Xiang Ling talking a lot of nonsense, everyone couldn't help but said, "Xiang Ling, you have confused us. What is going on?"
Xiangling shook her head: "Oh! You are so stupid. The money in the house is gone, and you want to dig money from the old lady's hands! Think about it carefully, Yuanyang is in charge of the old lady's private treasury, if the eldest master If you marry a mandarin duck, you can not only get a beautiful concubine to warm your bed, but what else can you get? It goes without saying!"
After Xiang Ling's explanation, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
They had never thought about this matter until Xiang Ling proposed this idea, and they were really scared to think about it!
Among them, Xue Baochai was the most sensitive and interested in economic matters. He immediately said to Xiang Ling: "Xiang Ling, what are you thinking? Why did you think of this all of a sudden?"
Xiang Ling smiled calmly: "This old man must be a mandarin duck, and he has his own problems. If it comes to appearance, the female actors in the troupe that were just bought from Yangzhou Prefecture are no worse than a mandarin duck in appearance and appearance. How many times, there are better-looking female actors than Yuanyang, but the old man doesn’t want her, only Yuanyang. If something goes wrong, she must have evil intentions. In addition to the problem of money, Yuanyang also has other capital to make the old lady angry. Do you also want to ask me to warm the bed?"
Xiang Ling continued to tell everyone: "The economic problems of Rongguo Mansion are already quite serious. The previous construction of the Grand View Garden was a drain on the treasury, and the income earned was almost negligible. And those gentlemen did not care about the price of food and clothing, and they did whatever they wanted. They are squandering and extravagant, and they have to support so many little wives, secret wives, favor exchanges, and the servants below are lining their own pockets, etc. How much money do you think they can spend?"
