Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 217 The tough-tongued Madam Wang

Minglan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she was very moved.

Grandma is like this. She thinks about everything in advance.

"I'll have someone prepare some thank you gifts later, and ask Brother Bai to accompany you to visit Brother Li tomorrow morning. Remember to come back early and don't stay too long, you know?" Old Mrs. Sheng warned.

"Yes." Minglan nodded, hesitated, and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter wants to ask you something."

"explain."

"There is only one person available to my mother, Sister Xiaodie. My granddaughter wants to send the maid given by her grandmother to serve her," Minglan said.

After what happened this time, she was really worried about the maid arranged by Mrs. Wang.

But Xiaodie should have gotten married long ago, so she can't be delayed.

She bought all the maids in Mrs. Sheng's courtyard from Yazi, a person who cooperated with Yongyi Hou Mansion.

After a while, a maid aged fourteen or fifteen came in, bowed and said, "I've met the old lady, Miss Six."

As Cui Wei's personal envoy, the second-class envoys and rough envoys all have to listen to her, so they naturally want to get to know each other.

After they left, Minglan entered the house and briefly asked Cuiwei about her family situation.

"Grandma, if you give me another little girl, you will have too few maids around you. I..."

After hearing this, Minglan bowed and left, taking Cuiwei back to the room.

Minglan could only give up after hearing this.

Back in the room, Minglan asked Xiaotao to summon all the people serving her here.

When everyone arrived, Minglan introduced Cui Wei to them and sent them off.

In Minglan Courtyard, in addition to Xiao Tao and Dan Ju, there are two second-class maids responsible for cleaning the room, and there is also a rough maid responsible for washing and doing rough work.

"Cuiwei, I'll thank you for the hard work from now on." Minglan said with a smile.

"Okay, please take Cuiwei back to the room to make arrangements." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

This is not to distrust her, but to deepen our understanding.

"Cui Wei is prepared for you, so let her stay with you and serve you. I will just arrange another one for your little sister." Old Mrs. Sheng said after thinking for a while.

"Young lady has broken my slave." Cui Wei said.

After buying it back, I asked Fang's mother to be responsible for training him. Whether it was loyalty or work, he was excellent.

"Cuiwei, from now on you can serve Minglan." Mrs. Sheng said.

"Yes." Cuiwei responded, bowed to Minglan, and said, "I've met the girl."

That Ren Yazi specializes in serving noble and wealthy families, and the servants he provides are all from very innocent family backgrounds.

Originally, she wanted to ask her grandmother for a maid, but her grandmother had already given her one, so she had the nerve to ask for it.

"Okay, it's just a maid, why are you pushing me around? That's it." Mrs. Sheng waved her hand.

The reason for the small number of people is that she does not have a separate courtyard yet, and these people only need to be responsible for the house where she lives and the outer hall.

After a brief understanding, Minglan asked Xiaotao to take Cuiwei to settle down, leaving Danju alone.

She told Dan Ju about leaving Dan Ju to serve Li An.

Danju didn't feel any objection to Minglan asking her to serve a man.

Personal maids like them, as long as they are not older than their master, basically have to accompany the master when he gets married.

At that time, not to mention serving the uncle, if the master was inconvenient, he would have to support him.

The next morning, Changbai and Minglan took leave and took a carriage to Li's house. "The provincial examination is about to take place now, and Brother Bai is asked to take leave. What if this delays the provincial examination?"

Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied that Mrs. Sheng asked Sheng Changbai to take leave twice.

She had placed high hopes on her son since he was a child. Sheng Changbai was older, and she was worried that the maids in Sheng Changbai's courtyard would seduce him, so she specially selected a few ugly ones to serve him.

And Sheng Changbai is also very competitive. He has worked hard since he was a child and has never slacked off for so many years.

"I said, what are you talking about here? Then the Li family brother got sick because he was trying to save Jin Jin brother. As the eldest son of the family, isn't it right for Changbai to go and visit on behalf of the Sheng family?" Sheng Hong said angrily.

Two days ago, Mrs. Sheng asked someone to invite Sheng Hong back because she was ill.

Sheng Hong simply used this excuse to take leave and stayed at home to investigate Sheng Changjin's fall into the water.

There was no other way. He promised Mrs. Sheng that the results would be found out.

The day before yesterday, he called the concierge for questioning, but he didn't ask anything.

I deliberately waited for a day, and when I went to Shou'an Hall to pay my respects to Mrs. Sheng early this morning, I told her the results of my investigation.

As a result, she was scolded by Mrs. Sheng, and she was upset. Listening to Mrs. Wang's talk, she became even more upset.

"It is indeed appropriate for Changbai to visit the Sheng family on behalf of the family, but didn't we just go there yesterday?" Mrs. Wang retorted.

"You have the nerve to tell me, did you arrange that maid? If she hadn't been negligent, how could Brother Jin have fallen into the water?" Sheng Hong said coldly.

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while when she heard this, then came to her senses and said angrily: "Officials must speak based on their conscience. I arranged that maid. But if the maid makes a mistake, you can't blame me, right?" "

"Why can't I blame you? There are few maids in your courtyard? Do you want to arrange for a newly purchased maid to come over? What's more, you are the eldest lady and you are in charge of everything at home. Don't you have no responsibility at all?" Sheng Hong said .

"Ah."

Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "I can see that the official can't find anyone to instruct him to vent his anger on me. He's just a concubine, and I'm the head of the family, so why bother to deal with him?"

When Mother Liu heard Mrs. Wang say this, she thought to herself that it was not good. She glanced at Sheng Hong and saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, so she hurriedly pulled her without leaving any trace.

"shut up!"

Sheng Hong's face was ashen and he said: "You still know that you are a eldest lady, a bastard who opens her mouth and a bastard who keeps her mouth shut. Do you still have the bearing of a eldest lady?"

"I…"

Madam Wang wanted to say something else, but Mother Liu quickly pulled her back and shook her head slightly.

There is a difference between direct concubine and concubine, but it cannot always be mentioned.

What's more, concubine has always been a taboo for Sheng Hong, and Mrs. Wang always mentioned it in front of Sheng Hong.

I have reminded her so many times, but every time there is a quarrel, Mrs. Wang forgets.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't speak, Sheng Hong was still angry and said: "This matter has a lot to do with you, the head of the house, being a lax housekeeper. From now on, you don't have to take care of this family."

After saying that, she walked away without giving Mrs. Wang a chance to speak.

"Just don't care, you really think I care." Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"Oh, my eldest lady, couldn't you say a few words less when the master is angry? If the master asked Lin Xiaoniang to take care of the house, wouldn't she be proud again?" Liu's mother advised.

"I..." Mrs. Wang opened her mouth. She also knew that Xiaoniang Lin would be proud of letting her take care of the house.

But she couldn't control her temper. When she got angry, she wouldn't think so much.

"Let her be proud of herself. Is it possible that she can still ride on my head?" Mrs. Wang said harshly.

"Alas." Mother Liu felt helpless towards the tough-tongued Madam Wang, and could only sigh silently in her heart.
