At that time, Aunt Shen, Madam knew about it and dealt with it.What Aunt Cao did is not as serious as Aunt Shen, but on New Year's Eve, it hindered Madam's eyes and stabbed Madam in the heart. Could Madam still spare Aunt Cao lightly?

Shiliu waited anxiously for the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day, and finally waited until the main courtyard spoke.

Before today, Madam didn't even pass on half a word, but today she suddenly wanted Mrs. Cao to come to the main courtyard.I don't know how my wife will take care of Aunt Cao, and how she will deal with the people around them.

Aunt Shen committed a crime, although her close maid Xiaotao didn't get any blame, the wife was generous and got 20 taels of silver as a dowry.

But Xiaotao is only 17 years old, so she can still work for another four or five years after calculating her age.The distribution of the second-class girl is a monthly allowance of [-] yuan a month, and there are three pieces of cloth for four seasons clothes a year.

For food alone, there are five catties of pork, two chickens, one duck, one goose, thirty catties of vegetables, thirty catties of rice, ten catties of noodles and twenty eggs every month.

Coupled with the money rewards for happy events during festivals and festivals, 20 taels of silver can be earned in one year.Three or four years less errands means less earning of seven or eighty taels.

Besides, Madam has already told Xiaotao to recruit a son-in-law at home, which means that she is not allowed to work in the yard again.

I made a name in front of my wife, thinking that I will not be able to work as an errand after I have a baby in the future.This is calculated according to a lifetime, but even the pomegranate is heartbroken.

Everyone in the house knew each other well, and knowing Xiaotao's situation, no one in her family who liked her was willing to get married.Those who rushed to propose marriage, it can be imagined that the conditions were very ordinary, and Xiaotao's parents didn't like it.

Madam didn't let Xiaotao's body deed go, and the outsiders were not willing to marry a slave to go home.Hearing that Xiaotao's family has no other options, they have already started looking for a son-in-law in Zhuangzi when they arrived in the capital.

Pomegranate has endured all these years, and finally she will be able to resign and marry in a dignified manner in another year.If it happened to this matter, Pomegranate's parents really wanted to eat Cao Shi.

Wen Jiao has always felt sleepy since the beginning of the year, and the nap time has changed from two quarters of an hour to three quarters of an hour, and now he can sleep for nearly an hour.

From the first quarter of the first day ([-]:[-] p.m.) to the first day of Shen ([-]:[-] p.m.), Wen Jiaofang felt that he had slept enough for half an hour and three quarters of an hour.

After rubbing comfortably in the quilt twice, and feeling the silky smoothness of the satin quilt with his face, Wen Jiao reluctantly asked someone to come in to wash and change clothes.

After rinsing his mouth, he took a sip of hot milk and put Bai Lu's hand on his side.Looking at the clock, it was already the second quarter of Shenchu, Wen Jiao remembered what he had to do in the afternoon, and asked, "Has the Shen family and the Cao family arrived?"

Bai Lu smiled and said, "The two aunts have already arrived, and now they are waiting at the gate of the courtyard."

Spring comes late in Kyoto, and it snowed even on the day of Lantern Festival.Looking at the cold weather outside, Wen Jiao is not a psychopathic sadist, even if he doesn't want to see the two of them anymore, he still has the heart, fearing that he won't be frozen to death.

Besides, finish the work quickly, and send them away early so that they will no longer be out of sight or disturbed, so Wen Jiao ordered: "Call everyone in."

After a while, Xiaoman led the Shen family and the Cao family in.As soon as the two entered the room, they knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I have seen my wife."

Just standing outside the courtyard for more than half an hour, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Cao knelt on the ground, thinking that Madam would reprimand and explode.

Unexpectedly, Madam laughed, and she was not in a bad mood when she heard the voice: "Everyone get up, give me your seat."

The maids brought the embroidered stools, and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Cao sat down cautiously, with their heads down, not daring to look at Madam, tense, waiting to hear Madam's next orders.

When the strings in Shen Shi and Cao Shi's minds were about to break, the lady above said with a slow smile: "I have something to say, I don't intend to keep you two in the mansion now."

"Whether you let go of your life deeds and give you a dowry to marry off, or move to live in Zhuangzi, the rules are the same as now, you can choose for yourself."

Wen Jiao didn't mean to hang Cao and Shen on purpose.Although she was determined to remove the two of them from the mansion, she just woke up from a nap and her mind was not spinning fast, so she thought about how to speak for a long time.

In the end, I thought that according to the current etiquette and rules, I don't have to worry about my concubine's thoughts when I want to say something, so I just said it directly.Then he leaned on the pillow and sipped milk to see how Shen Shi and Cao Shi would react.

As soon as the words fell, both Shen Shi and Cao Shi froze.After a while, Shen slowly raised her head, with tears streaming down her face, she choked up and said, "Madam..."

Wen Jiao couldn't see Shen's like this the most, so he interrupted her with a smile, "Think about it before you say it. Once you say something, you can't go back on your word."

Chen choked, took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, then slowly lowered her head and remained silent.Wen Jiao saw that it was still a while before Lin Hai came home, so he was not in a hurry, and continued to have snacks with his milk and wait.

However, after waiting so long for Wen Jiao to merge into her expectations, she saw Cao Shi suddenly raised his head with firm eyes.

She got up from the embroidered stool, knelt down and looked at Wen Jiao again, and said, "I beg Madam for mercy, I am willing to leave the house to marry someone."

Wen Jiao didn't expect Cao to make a decision so quickly.With a spirit of being responsible to his subordinates, Wen Jiao looked into Cao's eyes and asked carefully, "Have you really thought about it?"

Cao's eyes did not hide, and he replied: "I have already thought about it."

Shen Shi and Cao Shi have no longer threatened Wen Jiao, and Wen Jiao can put aside prejudice and rationally view her two tempers.

Therefore, Wenjiao admired Cao's decisiveness at this time, so he said a few more words, and said with a smile: "When you leave the mansion to marry, except for a dowry, you will sever ties with the Lin Mansion from now on. If you want to borrow the Lin Mansion in the future, You can’t do it with light. Whether it’s good or not depends entirely on how you live.”

"If you go to Zhuangzi, you will be provided with food and clothing for four seasons. You should all know me. As long as you do your duty in Zhuangzi, you will naturally be safe for the rest of your life. It's just that you can't go back to the mansion in the future. "

Mrs. Cao did not waver when she heard this, she still straightened her body and said, "When I get to the Zhuangzi, although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, my concubine is only 27 years old this year. If I just spend my whole life guarding the Zhuangzi, this life will be too boring."

"Go out of the house to marry, support each other, and have children. As long as the person you marry is not such a heartless person, you can always live a happy life."

Mrs. Cao looked around, and now there were only four big girls in the room, including Bai Lu Baishuang, so she closed her eyes and opened them again, and said: "When I was young, I was not full enough to eat and not warm enough to be sold. I don’t know where my hometown is or where my family is.”

"Later, I was lucky enough to be bought by my first wife, and she was well-clothed and well-fed. It's just that my concubine has been in the mansion for ten years and has not given birth to a child. It will be difficult to have children in the future."

"With no relatives around, even if I have enough food and clothing, I don't think it's interesting. Today, my wife is kind enough to let my concubine go out of the house to get married. I am grateful. In the future, I will read a volume of scriptures to my wife every day in front of the Buddha. , I pray that Madam will live a long and healthy life.”

Cao Shi didn't know that these words of hers had reached Wen Jiao's heart.

Wen Jiao listened to what Cao said, "I don't know where my home is, where are all my family members", thinking about my previous state of mind, and thinking about it now, I understand why Cao would rather block her eyes than insist on the New Year's Eve. Come out to pay New Year's greetings.

Even Wenjiao felt that this Lin Mansion was not her home a month ago.For a concubine like Cao, the master is not the husband, and the wife is the master. Even the girl can't be called her girl.

There are no parents outside, and one is bought alone. It is indeed a rootless duckweed.If she wants to have some sense of belonging, she can only have a child.

If you want to have a baby, you can't find Lin Haisheng.But under Wen Jiao's deliberate control, the Cao family can't see Lin Hai all year round, so he can't help but make such a bad move.

Wen Jiao has always admired people who have firm goals and know what they want.She couldn't help but praised: "In the past, I didn't realize that you still have such a heart. In this case, I promise you to take away all the savings from the mansion over the years as your dowry. In addition, I will give you 500 taels of silver to press the box."

"You are allowed to live in the mansion until the end of February. When spring comes out of the mansion, your body deed will be returned. You have registered with the official media, so you can choose someone you like."

Mrs. Cao didn't realize that Madam still had such kindness, so she bowed her head to thank her.

Wen Jiao smiled and said, "You've already made up your mind, so go back. Don't make it public, just go back and pack your things quietly."

Mrs. Cao kept Wen Jiao's words in mind, and kowtowed again: "In the past, my concubine offended my wife a lot, but my wife still thinks about my concubine so much. I am very grateful."

Wen Jiao nodded and said with a smile: "You can repay my kindness by living your life well in the future."

Mrs. Cao went out thankfully, while Mrs. Shen was still shedding tears.

When Wen Jiao was talking to Cao Shi, he kept watching Shen Shi with one eye.

When she heard Wen Jiao talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhuangzi going up and marrying out of the house, Mrs. Shen tightened the veils on her hands.When Wen Jiao talked about the dowry brought out for Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Shen raised her head slightly again and looked at Mrs. Cao.

Wen Jiao sighed inwardly, it seems that after more than a year of explaining the truth to Shen Shi, Shen Shi didn't make any progress.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to keep Shen Shi under her nose anymore.Whether it is going out of the mansion or going to Zhuangzi, Shen must choose one.

Seeing that the time has already been confirmed (four o'clock in the afternoon), Lin Hai should be home in half an hour.Wen Jiao withdrew his smile and said, "Mrs. Shen, have you thought it over yet?"

Shen knows that Madam has made up her mind, but she doesn't want to go to Zhuangzi, nor does she want to go out of the house to get married, so she worries about hard work.So when she heard this sound, she couldn't help trembling, knelt on the ground, shed a few more tears, wanted to open her mouth, but felt unwilling.

It happened that there were still books left over from reading in the morning on the kang table, so Wen Jiao gave Shen another two quarters of an hour.

See two quarters of an hour passed.Shen still didn't speak, just cried, Wen Jiao lost her patience and said, "Since this is the case, after the first month, I'll send someone to send you to Zhuangzi."
