Mugui

Chapter 133

The sound of the slap was a bit loud, which caught the attention of the villagers.

But when everyone saw that the person being beaten was from the old Yang family, they immediately assumed that nothing had happened, and even dispersed one after another, even Li Zheng and the patriarch left together.

Ge Shouhou sneered, grabbed Yang Caixia's hair, and asked viciously, "Did you take a fancy to that wild man just now?"

Yang Caixia's scalp hurt from being pulled, and she said anxiously: "You nonsense!"

Ge Shouhou didn't hide his vicious eyes, and said, "Then let's go home and talk about it."

While talking, he dragged Yang Caixia, who was crying in pain, all the way home.

……

Here, the carriage team from Duke Huguo's Mansion came to the county town and found one of the best inns to book a stay.

Guo's mother knocked on Yang Yu's door.

After entering the door, Mother Guo saluted and said, "Second Young Master, should we send some people to serve Second Miss?"

Yang Yu put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and said angrily: "A mere concubine, I came to pick her up in person to save face! Since she doesn't know what's good, don't bother her, wait until she begs me !"

Guo's mother thought that anyway, the Duke's wife didn't pay much attention to this concubine's granddaughter, and she didn't even prepare the most basic jewelry and decent clothes.

That being the case, let the second young master vent his anger.

She didn't say any more, and walked out of the room with a smile.

After the gate was closed, blocking the Second Young Master's sight, Mother Guo put away her smile.

The servant girl Ling Hui came out from the side room, saw Guo Mama, smiled and greeted her, and said, "Guo Mama, what did Second Young Master say?"

She was sent by the Duke's wife to be the maid in charge of the second lady, so she naturally has to worry about the affairs of the second lady.

Mother Guo walked back to her room slowly. There were already many people standing in the room. One of them was a tall and thin middle-aged steward with hairpin flowers sitting at the table, and the rest were all young women, all dressed as maidservants.

The steward of Hairpin is the steward next to Shizi's wife, Mama Wan.

Seeing Mama Guo coming in, everyone looked at her one after another. Except for Mama Wan who didn't leave, the rest of the women saluted Mama Guo one after another.

Mama Guo sat at the table and poured a cup of tea for herself and Mama Wan.

Mama Wan took the tea, thanked her, and then asked, "What does Second Young Master say?"

Guo's mother took a sip of her tea before she said unhurriedly, "Second Young Master means, wait for Second Young Lady to take the initiative to speak and return to Beijing."

The servant girl Linghui was surprised and said: "But, isn't the second young master going back to Beijing to prepare for the exam? My wife originally didn't agree with the second young master coming to pick me up."

Guo's mother lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Mama Wan put down her teacup, and said slowly, "Second Young Master is a man from the outer court, so naturally he doesn't know the rules of the backyard. Didn't Mama Guo advise you?"

Guo's mother raised her eyes and looked at her, and said, "How about Wan's mother go to persuade and advise? After all, I am just a travel manager, and I only care about travel affairs. But Wan's mother is the second young lady's personal manager, and she is always in charge. And it should."

Mama Wan was silent. Mama Guo was right. This matter was not handled well. Madam would only say that the personal steward sent by Madam Shizi was wrong, and she would not speak of Mama Guo who was beside her.

Guo's mother was drinking tea while waiting for the other party to reply.

After a long while, Mama Wan said: "I'll go and talk to Second Young Master." She stood up and went out.

Guo's mother slightly curled her lips, the second young master was angry, no one said it was useless.

The maidservants present looked at each other in blank dismay, quietly waiting for news from Mama Wan.

After a while, Mama Wan came back, shook her head slightly, and said, "Let's leave, Second Young Master won't allow it."

Everyone had no choice but to sigh and dispersed.

Linghui didn't leave, but stood up behind Mother Guo and squeezed her shoulders, saying: "Mother Guo, we are in the same boat, you have to give me some pointers."

Guo's mother glanced at her luxuriant hand, closed her eyes in enjoyment, and said something: "Second Miss grew up in the countryside, so why not be in a hurry when she has a chance to fly back to the branch? It's just a show." That's all."

Linghui smiled and said, "You are right."

Guo's mother said: "It's just that there is an old lady beside her, she is not easy to mess with. I heard from Manager Mu today that she is the female official Bao who is next to the empress dowager. She is a powerful character. With her suggestion I'm afraid this second lady is not easy to mess with."

When Linghui was in the ancestral house today, she stood a little behind and didn't hear Manager Mu talk about the identity of Mrs. Bao. When she heard the news, she immediately stopped what she was doing and said nervously: "What? Did it come out? Or the one next to the Empress Dowager? Isn’t that the matter of the Second Miss, and she has the final say?”

Not to mention the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid there will be no servant with a stronger background than her in the Duke's Mansion.

Then what is she in charge of, the big maid in charge?All rights will be voided!
Guo's mother said: "Not only that, there are two servant girls beside the second lady! You have to use great means to make the second lady trust you."

Linghui froze immediately, and said, "What should I do?"

She was sent by his wife to look after and handle Second Miss.

She can't afford to mess with a female official Bao, not only her, but also the madam will show some face to female official Bao, after all, who doesn't know that when female official Bao goes out of the palace, she wears a palace card!
Who dares to mess with an old lady who can enter the palace to meet the emperor and concubine?
With the addition of two personal maids, this task will be difficult for her.

Mother Guo said: "Don't worry, just wait and see."

How could Linghui not be in a hurry? "Or, I'll go to that village now and serve the second lady!"

Guo's mother said impatiently: "I told you, the second young master won't allow it! Can't you tell the difference between the young master from the concubine and the young lady from the concubine?"

Linghui was taken aback for a moment, then bit her lip.

Mother Guo is right, she can't do anything!
Guo's mother saw that she was anxious, so she had to persuade her: "It's a long journey back to Beijing, you just have to behave well. Besides, even if Officer Bao is by her side, so what? A 50-year-old lady can still have the energy to stay with her all the time." she?"

Linghui hesitated to speak, and after a long while, she nodded and left the room sullenly.

Originally thought it was a simple job, but it was just a secret pawn, relying on his wife's power to suppress a concubine daughter and make her obediently obey her wife's words.

How majestic and majestic it will be to be the chief steward of the inner courtyard with the second young lady as a dowry in the future!

I didn't expect things to turn out like this!
Where did Second Miss get the luck to have Officer Bao help her!
Yang Mu didn't know that her future maids and stewards were struggling, and she was talking to Li Zheng and the patriarch in the yard.

"Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid I don't know when I'll be back. This ancestral house and Mrs. Bao's ancestral house, I'll trouble you two to take care of it."

Li Zheng stammered: "Let it go, let it go, don't worry! I, I..."

The patriarch smiled obsequiously and said: "We must take good care of this yard, oh, and Mrs. Bao's yard! Mu...Miss Yang, feel free to come to Beijing!"

Li Zheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
