chapter eight
Yangzhou Shengfu...
"Tell you to get a charcoal fire,
a meal,
All the time is gone.
little girl,
If they wake up. "
Xiaodie, Madam Ye's personal maid, looked at Little Dot and said. When she got closer, she realized that Little Dot was crying there. Then asked
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
The little one sobbed and said
"There was no charcoal fire in the kitchen, so I was kicked out."
Xiaodie asked while comforting the little one: "You told them this is our example, no."
The little boy cried and said, "I told you, but Lady Guan and the others just told me to get out."
"Come on, give me the frame and go back. It's cold outside."
"Um"
Xiaodie went straight to the kitchen and wanted to get the charcoal fire, but was stopped by Lady Guan and the others.
"Don't drag me, this is what our little girl deserves."
"Who let you in? Get out now. What are you causing trouble?"
Just as the two were fighting, a voice came from outside the door.
"What are you doing?"
When Lady Guan saw the visitor, she immediately took two steps forward to say hello.
"Mrs. Zhou is well-dressed, why did you come to kiss me?"
After saying that, he turned around and scolded Xiaodie.
"Hurry up and leave,
So as not to make Mrs. Zhou angry. "
Xiaodie did not leave, but looked at Lady Guan and said
"Now I know I'm afraid. When I usually skip meals,
Why aren't you afraid? I didn't see you being afraid when I tried to withhold charcoal. The rule was eight pounds of charcoal a day, but now I only get four pounds every three or five days.
Now since Sister Zhou is helping Xiaoniang Lin take care of this, let Sister Zhou make the judgment. "
When Lady Zhou heard this, she pretended to scold her.
"You are so brave.
Now Ye Xiaoniang is pregnant,
How dare you despicable bastards deprive her of her things. "
After hearing this, Lady Guan cooperated and said:
"Where is our deduction? A few days ago, their courtyard received too much, and our kitchen distributed it to the younger one.
I didn’t dare to say anything and let them take it away.
The kitchen and the accounts couldn't reconcile yesterday.
Or have we filled this hole ourselves?
I think Miss Xiaodie must not admit this account.
I deducted it from the daily profits in the future, and asked Miss Xiaodie to take pity on us. It turned out that we only had a few months of money.
Nowadays, I can’t even pull off the headband. "
Mrs. Guan's strange tantrum made Xiaodie very angry.
"Nonsense, you said that since you have the certificate, you can show it and we can have a look at it.
I took these meal charcoal fires,
Have you pressed your fingerprint?"
Seeing that Xiaodie was having a hard time handling it, Mrs. Zhou said
"Why is Miss Xiaodie so angry?
If you take more on weekdays.
Then just take less today.
When the account is filled in,
Let’s just follow the usual daily weights. "
"Okay, since Sister Zhou can't control it,
Then I can only go to the eldest lady’s room.
Let her comment,
Let’s see how much charcoal fire our little girl deserves. "As he said that, he walked out.
Lady Guan immediately stopped Xiaodie and said confidently
"Today is the day of the expedition,
The eldest lady has so many things to do,
How can I allow you to be so wild? "
"Since there is grievance,
Even the official drum is beaten at the door of the official's house.
Even if I ask the lady to hit the board and drag her out today,
We want to avenge our little mother. "
Lady Guan said forcefully, "You are not allowed to go."
Xiaodie was completely honest. "Why, don't let anyone talk anymore. I will tell Sister Shangguan and Sister Duanmu when I get back soon. From now on, Sister Shangguan will come to argue with you. But our Sister Shangguan's hands are not those used for washing and cooking." , I have a sword in my hand."
Lady Guan said disdainfully, "I still don't believe she dares to kill people in this house."
"That's not necessarily the case. Our uncle is the dignified General Dingyuan. He was brought up by my mother. If you dare to deprive our mother of her things, guess if Sister Shangguan knows about it, will she dare to kill you?" Xiaodie said truthfully. It's clear and logical.
Madam Guan was not only stunned by these words, but Madam Zhou was also startled, and her heart tightened. Madam Guan had not seen her, but she had seen some things. After thinking for a while he said:
"Hey, it's just a few kilograms of charcoal, why bother?" After saying something casual, he turned to Lady Guan and said:
"Ms. Guan, since Miss Xiaodie wants charcoal,
Just go to the stove and get some for him. "
"Yes, I will go to the stove and get some for him.
So as not to delay today's wedding banquet. "
After saying that, he went to get a basket of charcoal.
"Don't be angry, Miss Xiaodie, there are twenty or thirty kilograms here, how come it's not enough for you?"
Xiaodie took some charcoal from the frame and said
"I'll take what's mine, and I won't take a penny more from what's not mine. Let me tell you, my wife is not short of this little charcoal money, but the rules are the rules. Besides, although we are aunts, we are My uncle is a general in the current dynasty, and he is an official in the same dynasty as my lord. If he knew that you were treating my wife so harshly, I could kill you with just one word without him having to do anything personally. There is still an uncle living in my wife’s yard. The two personal maids here are said to be maids, but in this house they represent my uncle's reputation as a general in the court. You guys, please weigh them." After that, he took the charcoal and left.
Madam Guan still refused to give up, "They are so arrogant because of their big belly. They will suffer in the future. If they don't want to alarm Madam..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Zhou stared back in fear.
