The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

As we all know, the old lady doesn't like the eldest wife, but loves Grandma Lian'er very much. Grandma Lian'er was helped back to her yard by the second master Lian. The old lady let the three of them go, and a group of servants immediately guessed what was going on. , the slaves in the big house thought that Xing Yue would come back in disgrace, and they talked behind their backs.

"You know, Second Grandma Lian was helped back by Second Master Lian. This wife really doesn't know what to do. Second Grandma Lian is someone the old lady values, and she comes from the royal family, so she can punish her. Look, this old lady Madam called a few people over, maybe she would be ashamed for Madam." A woman said gloatingly.

"No way, which new daughter-in-law doesn't set the rules for her mother-in-law? You and I have worked it out, and you can see it with a discerning eye. This Lian's second grandma doesn't care about her wife, and she can't do it on the bright side. When it comes to filial piety, it should be fine for my wife to punish her."

"The wife is not the biological mother of the second master Lian. The Wang family is powerful and has the support of the old lady. As soon as he knelt down, the old lady sent someone to come over, isn't it just to support the second grandmother? The wife has never liked the old lady. How can I be reprimanded." Another woman said.

A group of women gathered there to chat, but they didn't notice that Xing Yue and his party came back, and Xing Yue caught him. Xing Yue himself intended to punish the slaves in the mansion, so he just took the opportunity to attack.

"Really, the chat was quite lively." Xing Yue looked at the slaves kneeling on the ground with a half-smile. "Why don't you talk anymore, everyone is dumb? You slaves are really capable. If you don't work hard, you gather together and chew the tongues of your masters behind your back. Bind them all up to me, and drag them out according to the rules of the mansion. Each beat [-] big boards, and the whole family went to Zhuangzi to work."

"Madam, please forgive me, this slave will never dare again." A timid old woman was so frightened that she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Ma'am, you can't punish me, I belong to an old lady, you..." A woman struggled to resist, her mouth was covered to prevent her from speaking.

"You, a slave, actually called myself me in front of the master. You belong to the old lady. I can't punish you. Come and send her back to the old lady, and tell the old lady about it." Xing Yue Directly asked someone to send the old woman back to the old lady.

"When the stick is being blamed, let all the servants and maids watch. If there is any gossip in private, it will all end like this." Xing Yue is going to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, because the servants in this mansion are too messy.

Sitting in the town room, Xing Yue heard the sound of boards being beaten in the yard, and the pained voice of the mother-in-law gagging her mouth. She felt uncomfortable. As a modern person with equal human rights, she resisted these from the bottom of her heart. But don't be cruel, I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future.

Nine out of ten slaves used by the big house are family-born children, and only a few are bought from outside, most of them are dead contracts, and live contracts are used to do some low-level chores, which cannot be seen by the master.

Having children in a family has the benefits of having children in a family. You know the roots and know the basics, and the rules are good. It is easy to use, but after a few lifetimes, the roots are intertwined and the tail is too big. Moreover, I know that there are many secrets in the mansion, and I even hold a lot of criminal evidence of the master's family. This is something that Xing Yue did not Selling these wives alive and driving them out of the mansion is just the reason for sending them to Zhuangzi to take care of them.

Xing Yue came back unscathed, and used ruthless methods to dismiss several decent women, which made the servants of the first room feel awe, and the hearts of the servants who took refuge in the second room sank.

When Xing Yue returned to her own courtyard, she saw Yingchun stretching her head out anxiously looking out, her heart warmed up, and after a few words of comfort, she took Yingchun back to the house and ordered Hongling to call the woman who guarded the corner gate. Come, she wants to ask a question.

It took less than half an hour for what happened in the morning. It took a long circle to get to the old lady's place through the gate of daily access. , then the person who reported the letter must have gone through the corner gate, and the distance there was shortened by half. A girl walked quickly and arrived in a quarter of an hour, and half an hour was enough to go back and forth.

The corner gate was set up for the convenience of the women's relatives, and it was locked on weekdays, and a special woman was assigned to guard it, and the servants were not allowed to come in and out at will, so as to prevent the servants in the big house from colluding with the second bedroom.

"Cui Liu, you are guarding outside today, did you see anyone eavesdropping outside?" Xing Yue asked, today, she asked Hong Ling to take Ying Chun back first, closed the windows and doors, and kicked out all the women and girls Keep away, and let Cui Liu watch outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, but also to save Wang Xifeng a face, even if she wants to teach Wang Xifeng, Xing Yue will teach the lesson behind closed doors, she can't let Wang Xifeng lose face, let The slaves are joking, this family will still belong to Wang Xifeng in the future, and the slaves will not be able to hold it if it is saved.

"The servant has been guarding outside, and no one has approached, except that Zizhu came to see his wife halfway, saying that he was going to ask for leave, so the servant should inform him." Cui Liu replied with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

"Oh, leave due to business?" Xing Yue responded unconsciously, thinking about Zizhu's matter. This Zizhu was not a child of the family, but Mrs. Xing bought it from the outside after entering the door. She signed a death contract and a sale contract in her hands , there is no one at home, she has no reason to betray.

"Ma'am, the lady who looks at the corner gate is here." Cui Liu was about to reply when Hong Ling walked in to reply.

"Let her talk." Xing Yue simply put down the Zizhu matter first.

"The old slave has seen his wife. I don't know what orders the old slave has for her to come here?" Xing Yue looked, the woman was in her thirties, wearing half-worn cotton clothes, washed very clean, and her hair was meticulously arranged. A neat guy.

"Hua Pozi, are you on duty today?" Xing Yue asked.

"If you go back to your wife, the servant is on duty today." Mrs. Hua replied respectfully.

"Then tell me, who came in and out through the corner gate today." Xing Yue said after taking a sip of tea.

"Returning to the wife, the servant has been on duty since the moment of the hour, and until the handover just now, in addition to the wife, the young master, and the young mistress, there were still eleven people who came in and out through the corner gate. Go to the second wife of Rong Mansion, and return at four o'clock; at two o'clock, the little girl of Rong Mansion comes to report that the youngest daughter of Mrs. Zhang, who is on duty next to the wife, is ill, and ask someone from the family to pick her up; at three o'clock, the next duty Mrs. Zhang went to Rong Mansion and the youngest daughter went back. At four o'clock, Baimei, the wife's side, and Qingyue, the girl's maid, went to Rong Mansion to greet the old lady, and returned when Chen was approaching; Looking for Zizhu next to his wife, he said that Liu Ye, who was on duty in Rongfu's big kitchen yesterday, made a mistake, and was rewarded by the second wife with [-] boards. Seeing that he couldn't do it, please ask Zizhu to go and have a look; After leaving the Rong Mansion, at the quarter of the hour, Hongjiao with the master's body went to the Rong Mansion, saying that it was the master's permission; Mrs. Fei who is next to my wife came to pass on the message." Mrs. Hua reported in detail.

Xing Yue usually finishes her meal around seven o'clock in the morning, that is, Chen Shi, and she taught Wang Xifeng that there is Chen Shi, so the person who tipped off the news must have gone out after Chen Shi, if what Mrs. Hua said is true, then Only Zizhu, Hongjiao, Aunt Zhou and the little girl beside Aunt Zhou went out at Chenshi.There was a reason for Zizhu's incident, Aunt Zhou had already informed her yesterday, and now it seems that only Hongjiao has a problem.

"How many little girls did Aunt Zhou bring?" Xing Yue wondered why there were only ten people, and asked after thinking about it.

"Returning to Madam, Aunt Zhou brought two girls with her when she left the house."

"Send someone to see if Aunt Zhou and Hongjiao are back, if they come back, please come here, I have something to ask them, but Zizhu is back?"

"If you go back to your wife, Zizhu hasn't come back yet." Xing Yue nodded to show that he knew.

The gossip about the Rongguo Mansion spread very quickly, the news that Xing Yue's Second Mistress Lian was called by the old lady spread wildly, Hongjiao and Aunt Zhou rushed back to watch the joke.One of these two people is a serious aunt who has passed through Ming Road, and the other is a housekeeper who usually creates trouble for Mrs. Xing. These days, Jia She often goes to Xing Yue's place, so naturally the favor given to them is much less. They are very dissatisfied with Xing Yue.They thought that the old lady would support Grandma Lian'er, and they wanted to see Xing Yue's disheveled face, so they hurried back to watch Xing Yue's jokes.

This Hongjiao came back earlier, just in time to see Xing Yue had a few wives tied up, so she huddled in her own room. The people sent by Xing Yue invited them.

Aunt Zhou is the old man serving Jia She, she is several years older than Xing Yue, and unlike her sister, Aunt Zhou who looks like a living dead, Aunt Zhou is living a bright life this time, she is gentle and well-behaved on the surface, a virtuous person, but behind her back Li didn't know how many trips she had made for Mrs. Xing, how many eye drops she had given Jia She, now she was wearing a blue skirt and light yellow jacket, seeing Xing Yue's complexion was not very good, and greeted Xing Yue with a smile.

"Ma'am, I see that your complexion is not good, but you are not feeling well, but which little hoof has offended your wife?" The tone and posture were gentle, but when he said the last sentence, his eyes had pointed to the delicate red. Jiao, she thought that Xing Yue was angry with the old lady and came back to take revenge on Jia Amnesty's concubine Ji. She was looking at Hongjiao very disliked, and happened to use the hand of his wife to suppress her.

Hongjiao, worthy of the name, is wearing a red jacket, and she looks delicate and charming, but now she has a low eyebrow and is pleasing to the eye, standing obediently by the side, and now the wife is asking them to come here, just to find out who reported it to the old lady Xin, she has been serving Jia She since she was a child, how can she not know Jia She's temperament, her master is very filial to the old lady, but he is very dissatisfied with the old lady's partiality in his heart.

"Aunt Zhou, didn't you go to visit Aunt Zhou who was in the second room today? Why did you come back so soon?" Xing Yue didn't ask directly, but asked coolly, she didn't know what these people were thinking.

"The servant girl is just talking to my sister. I have been gone for an hour. That's enough. I just met someone sent by my wife on the way into the mansion, but what happened in the mansion?" Although Aunt Zhou is not afraid of Xing Yue, pay attention Seeing the gatekeeper, Hua Pozi was also there, and she also realized that something was wrong, so she didn't dare to look for opportunities to make troubles. Others came into the house late and didn't know the identity of Hua Pozi, but she knew it clearly.

"It's something serious. The slaves in this mansion are becoming more and more outrageous. They eat everything from inside to outside. If there is a little trouble in the mansion, it will be known all over the street. You only bring a girl by your side to serve? I heard from Mrs. Hua that you brought two servants to the second bedroom." Xing Yue remembered that Aunt Zhou was invited over as soon as she entered the mansion.

This is to find out who gave the old lady a tip-off. Aunt Zhou thought something bad was going to happen. She was being used by a yellow-haired girl. On the way to Rongfu, she met a third-class maid who was next to Lian Erye. The little girl seldom came out, if it wasn't for the maid around her who recognized her, she would not have recognized her. The little girl said that the second master Lian sent her to the mansion, so she was unprepared and went to Rongrong with that girl. House, no wonder that little girl is so attentive.Now she has to think about it, that girl is in the courtyard of Lian Erye, she must have been sent by Lian Erye to ask the old lady for help, this Lian Erye will be the head of the family in the future, she has no children, and she will have to rely on her in the future Lian'er's grandma lives, so she still buys a favor for Lian'er's grandma. If you want to understand this, you have to cover up for them.

"Ma'am, my maidservant sister wants to rearrange the house, so this maidservant will leave a girl to help." Aunt Zhou thought that the girl who tipped off the news was still in Liurong Mansion and had not returned, so she simply made up a reason so that the girl could return to the mansion. Not knowing but self-defeating, the girl had already mixed with Xing Yue's group and returned to the mansion. Xing Yue's group had three masters, and they brought many maids and wives, no one noticed.

"Hongjiao, what are you doing in that mansion if you're not by Master's side?" Xing Yue looked at Hongjiao coldly.

"Ma'am, this servant doesn't just run around at random. The servant girl's good sister, Xiuyun, is very good at embroidery. The servant girl is going to learn some while she's resting, so that she can make clothes for the master. The master also knows that." Hongjiao hurriedly proved own innocence.

Xing Yue couldn't figure it out for a while, so she sent them back.

"Zi Zhu and the little girl who stayed in the Rong Mansion to help are back, send someone to report, Mrs. Hua, you go back to work, watch carefully, and no one is allowed to come in and out." Xing Yue felt that Aunt Zhou's maid was wrong.

"Yes, ma'am, the slave will leave."

"Wait for Zizhu to come back, let her come to see me." Xing Yue sent everyone out, lying on the couch thinking about it, she always felt that something was ignored by her, this Hongjiao spoke with confidence, not like a tip-off, Aunt Zhou also reported it. As for Zizhu, she came to the courtyard.Xing Yue always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't remember it for a while.

After sorting out the matter from the beginning, I finally realized that something was wrong, so I called Hong Ling in, whispered a few words in my ear, and lay there waiting for news.

"Ma'am, my servant went to check. There is a hole in the east window near the door. I asked the cleaning women, but when they cleaned it early in the morning, there was no hole." Hongling returned to the house, attached to the Xing Yue said in his ear.
