[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

Chapter 1 (worms)

"Snapped!"

A bag of silver landed on the surface of the small table with carved legs of sandalwood and grass leaves, making a crisp sound, which shocked the little girl standing beside her in emerald green clothes with her waist down and her head down.The mouth of the bundled purse shrank, and then the surroundings fell into silence.

Zhao Zhihan, who was the second wife of the main house of the palace, was sitting on the chair opposite this little girl, casually stroking the dark emerald ring on her left middle finger.On the surface, she was pretending, but in fact, she was just thinking about how much this gem would be worth if it was sold out.

"Madam... Look at this..." When the big maid in red shirt and purple dress standing next to her leaned over to call her, Zhao Zhihan let go of the dark emerald and raised her head.

Zhao Zhihan glanced at the little girl in front of her who was only slightly nodding her head and showing no trace of panic on her face, cleared her throat, and after a long while organized her words in classical Chinese, she said, "Let me ask you, why do you want to steal something?"

"Ma'am, I didn't steal anything." The little girl in green shirt replied aloud, although her voice was small, she showed no trace of fear.

This little girl didn't show any fear at all, of course it was because everyone in the Wang family knew that the second wife of the Wang family was a weak woman who stretched out her hands and did not take care of her.Her weakness is not only reflected in her petite physique, but more importantly, her extremely weak personality.

Zhao Zhihan married into Wang's family and was married to Wang Ziteng for five years, but she never sternly scolded a servant.In the first two years, the relationship between her and Wang Ziteng was fairly harmonious, and she had a daughter, who was named after Wang Xifeng, the daughter of the grand master's family: Wang Xiyi, which means "Feng Huang Lai Yi".

Anyone who has some competitive spirit will not rely on her daughter's name so attached to other people's name, at least she has to take it equally, but she did not even say a word.

Among the three houses of the Wang family, Zhao Zhihan's second house was the most uneasy.Throwing things happened from time to time, and it was also common for older wives to bully little maids and make a scene.When such things happened in the past, Zhao Zhihan couldn't find the real culprit, so he could only let it go.Even if some things can be judged to be troublesome, but because the old servant is senior, there is no way to let it go.Because of this, the servants in this courtyard became more and more helpless.

His wife is incompetent, and she can't even manage her own yard well. As Zhao Zhihan's husband, Wang Ziteng also shook his head and sighed.He is a big man outside, so naturally he won't help her with this mess.After a long time, he felt bored with Zhao Zhihan for a long time.If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have a son-in-law, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to come to Zhao Zhihan's courtyard.

And the first wife, Shi Shi, and the third wife, Li Shi, were even more leisurely watching the fun.Every time there was a commotion in the second room, they just gathered together to chat and laugh, and put the husks of the melon seeds that had been licked into the flower basket on the table.The little girl who came to report the news danced and talked, and the two rewarded some food and playthings, and then let them go out to continue watching and talking.

But there is also a Lafayette in this Wang family, and it is Wang Ziteng's own mother, the old lady Wu.It's just that the old lady doesn't care about three things—no matter whether she doesn't care about her daughter, her daughter-in-law or her family.No matter what kind of troubles are going on at home, she always looks calm and relaxed.Or chanting scriptures, burning incense, or copying texts, all of which put a lot of spiritual power.Therefore, she never worried about Zhao Zhihan's affairs.

Now there was another theft, and what was stolen was no longer jewelry, but silver.However, it was the first time in five years that the stolen person was caught directly on the spot.If you don't catch it on the spot, it will naturally be nothing.Caught like this, even the eldest maid who was closest to Zhao Zhihan in the second room couldn't guess what Zhao Zhihan would do.

This happened quite differently than before.It was Zhao Zhihan who came together with the maid in the red shirt to catch the stolen goods. The strange thing is that she didn't let go of the stolen goods, but kept her and recruited other servants from the hospital to enter the house. interrogation conducted.

The maid in the red shirt naturally looked at Zhao Zhihan expectantly, and saw her sitting on the chair, touched the ring on her hand, and calmly said: "Take out the silver from my drawer , was caught on the spot, how can you tell that you didn't steal anything?"

"I just took it out to have a look, and I didn't steal it. Ma'am, I'm afraid you have wronged me." The little girl said "neither humble nor overbearing", with a hint of impatience in her tone.After all, this kind of thing happens on weekdays, and she has never been punished, so she is not afraid of the second wife in front of her.

Hearing the tone of the little girl in Cuishan, and seeing her relaxed and fearless expression, Zhao Zhihan naturally felt the arrogance of this girl.So she relaxed the tension on her waist, raised her head and rubbed her shoulders, and said casually: "First drag it out to play twenty boards in the yard, and then bring it here for interrogation."

As soon as these words came out, the maids and women in the room were stunned.Everyone couldn't believe it. You looked at me and I looked at you. Some women directly picked up their ears, and then said to the woman next to them: "Madam, did you talk just now?"

"Say... did you say it?" The woman next to me replied.

"That's right." Zhao Zhihan put down her hand rubbing her shoulders, looked at the two wives who were talking privately, and continued: "It's just you two, Nanny Chen and... Nanny Qin, right? Take her with you Go down, bring it up after the punishment."

The two women surnamed Chen and Qin were dumbfounded, and even the others were completely stunned.All these words were not something that their second wife, Zhao Zhihan, could say.The maidservant in the red shirt and purple skirt who was closest to Zhao Zhihan was naturally dumbfounded.After a while, one of the two wives, Nanny Chen, said, "Ma'am, it hasn't been found out whether she stole or not, so it's not justified to punish her."

"That's right, it's unjustifiable. This is too heavy a punishment, Ma'am, you have to think twice. How can you just hit me if you don't know why?" Mother Qin also echoed, and then turned her head The other servants followed suit with other servants.

Zhao Zhihan looked up at the servants who were protecting the little maid for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.This little maid named Yulan was added to her yard by the eldest wife Shi Shi, and she recognized this mother Chen as her goddaughter.On the surface, this Yucca is a person from the second room, but in fact, she often goes to play in the big wife's courtyard.The reason why these servants protect her is because of Nanny Chen, and of course it is because of the power of the eldest wife in the inner courtyard of the Wang family.

Zhao Zhihan smiled, and imitated the official wife in the TV series and reached out to hold the teacup.She pretended to be elegant, slightly lifted the lid of the teacup, and blew gently on the edge of the teacup.While blowing, she said in a leisurely tone: "This is my yard, and I can punish whoever I like. As long as I am unhappy, it is my right to kill thousands of people unjustly. Do you want me to throw a teacup for you?" You see, you can't fight?"

What Zhao Zhihan said was very unreasonable, and she said it on purpose, just to tell these servants who have already bullied the master: she is the master, and she is not an easy-going lamp, so they can't let them continue to bully her.

As soon as Zhao Zhihan finished speaking, Nanny Chen blocked Zhao Zhihan's words: "It's unreasonable for Madam to throw ten teacups. It's unreasonable. Even though we are servants, we can't just listen to Madam's orders." , do everything. If my wife tells us to kill and set fire, can we go too?"

"That's right, we are slaves, and we shouldn't listen to the master in everything." The other women and maids echoed.

Seeing the servants like this, Yucca began to look directly at Zhao Zhihan's face without avoiding Zhao Zhihan's eyes, with a smug smile on her lips.Seeing this, Zhao Zhihan also smiled, this was a naked provocation.

After traveling for several months, Zhao Zhihan also discovered that the original owner of her body was the one who fell from being bullied.Thinking that she could die and be taken over by an outsider like her, it should have something to do with the people in this deep house.

As for the slave bullying the master, just swallow it, Zhao Zhihan really couldn't bear it and couldn't swallow it.Just looking at these servants who are more assertive than their master, as a modern person with equal values, I really want to go up and cry them.It's crying, not dying.

Now that the room is full of people, the only one who has not spoken aloud is Hongyi, the maid in the red shirt beside Zhao Zhihan.This big maid was brought by the original owner's natal family. Although she didn't bravely fight against all the protectors, she was the only one who didn't make trouble.Her protection of the lord was too obvious and fierce, and she would definitely be bullied and schemed by other servants. Zhao Zhihan still understood her very well.

Just like this, Zhao Zhihan silently took everyone's reactions into her eyes, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then stood up holding the teacup.She walked up to Yucca, looked into her eyes, raised her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth with her index finger, pressing her so that she could no longer smile, and then said like a puppy who made a mistake: "So many people protect you!" Are you happy?"

Before Yulan could say anything, the cup in Zhao Zhihan's hand had already dropped and hit her feet directly.The tea in the cup spilled out, wet Yucca's shoes and socks.Zhao Zhihan tested the temperature of the water, it wasn't very hot and wouldn't hurt, but she definitely felt a very clear pain.After pouring the tea, Zhao Zhihan then stepped on the edge of her shoe to prevent her from jumping.

Sure enough, Yulan stayed where she was, biting her lip and holding down her tears, her eyes were wet.After a while, Zhao Zhihan let go of her shoes, and walked slowly in front of Nanny Chen.Seeing her approaching, Mother Chen deliberately straightened her waist and looked at Zhao Zhihan with her aura.Seeing that Yucca's feet were scalded again, she was also very angry.

Zhao Zhihan looked at her, and only smiled, then raised her hand and grabbed Nanny Chen's skirt, almost lifting her up.She couldn't suppress her words, even Zhao Zhihan, who didn't believe in violence, couldn't suppress her.As the master, she could fight regardless of her status, but she wanted to see if these slaves were so dick enough to fight back.

"Oh, my god..." Chen Momo obviously didn't expect that the second wife would make a move, let alone that such a petite person like her could have such strength. They all came up and hugged Zhao Zhihan's hand.

Zhao Zhihan clung to her, her tone was slow and soft but full of threats: "You bastard, let me ask you again, will you hit the [-] boards... or not?"

"Madam, what are you doing? I am an old man who has served in the mansion all my life. How can I be treated like this? You asked me to beat my own daughter, how can I do it? Madam treats me like this Me, if this gets out, I will be ridiculed." Naturally, Madam Chen refused to submit, and stretched her neck to "educate" Zhao Zhihan.

Seeing that she was very hard, Zhao Zhihan raised her hand even more forcefully and said, "Mammy doesn't want to hit her, so I'll do it myself. Hongyi, bring the board."

"Hey." Hongyi got the words, pulled back the soul that had been a little bit away from the shock, and hurriedly went out to find the board.

When Hongyi took back the board, Zhao Zhihan reached out to take it.Everyone else was taken aback, not knowing if the second wife was really trying to be cruel, or if she was just pretending to scare people.And Zhao Zhihan took the board, loosened Nanny Chen's skirt, pushed her to the ground with all her strength, then picked up the board and hit Nanny Chen on the buttocks.

"Ouch!" Nanny Chen screamed in response, quickly covered her buttocks, then quickly turned over and hugged Zhao Zhihan's leg, "Ma'am, don't hit me anymore, I will hit as I want."
