Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong was slightly surprised to see Qiu Mama calling him.In fact, I have tolerated Madam Qiu's excessive words and deeds just now, and I still want to find a chance to communicate with Madam Qiu, why is she now looking for me instead?But it's good to take this opportunity to communicate, so the two entered the outer room of the master bedroom.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the conversation, Qiu Mama was wrong: "Young master, I just asked the people in the inner house, and found that there is no one around you to serve you. This time, the young lady selected a few maids for the young master from the Hou's mansion, and the young master also You can choose by yourself in the inner house. Otherwise, it will hurt my uncle's face."

This is also true, after Wu Shigong arrived in Henan, he never arranged for a maid and a housemaid to accompany him in the inner house.But Wu Shigong never cared about this matter, because according to the usual habits, the maid in the same room's concubine's room served Wu Shigong every day.Wu Shigong is not a person who cannot support himself.Besides, in this inner house, who would dare to let Wu Shigong sleep alone?So this problem is not a problem at all.

So Wu Shigong felt a little annoyed in his heart, this Madam Qiu was too lenient, and it was all on her own head.Just as Wu Shigong wanted to reprimand him, he noticed that the curtain leading to the big bed in the master bedroom was shaking.Wu Shigong immediately understood that Xue Yufei was eavesdropping behind.Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Wu Shigong couldn't utter bad words anymore. He took a long breath and explained:

"It's not a big deal. It's enough to have Zhu Yun and Xiu Zhu serving. Besides, I'm used to their service, and I don't feel comfortable changing people."

Wu Shigong pointed out to Mommy Qiu that your daughter Zhu Yun is also his concubine now, so don't go too far with Mommy Qiu.

"Then do it according to my uncle's wishes. In the future, when my uncle wants to choose a maidservant, I will talk to the servant girl." Wu Shigong never thought that Qiu Mama would be so easily persuaded by himself.

Wu Shigong didn't know, in fact, Mother Qiu didn't care about this issue at all.Wu Shigong didn't have a maid with him.In particular, it is a good thing for Xue Yufei and Zhu Yun to have no maids.Since Wu Shigong has already refused, why should Madam Qiu be enthusiastic.

In fact, this time Mrs. Zhang sent Qiu Mama to follow Xue Yufei to Runing, just to give Xue Yufei a place.Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was spoiled and spoiled and had no intentions. She also learned that her son-in-law Wu Shigong had taken so many concubines, so she asked Madam Qiu to help Xue Yufei take full control of the inner house.

Qiu Momo's position beside Mrs. Zhang was the same as Zhu Yun's position beside Xue Yufei at that time. They were both the foreman before they left the cabinet.

And when the time comes, they will all marry along with their young lady, and they will also help their young lady to keep her pet and take charge of the inner house.It's just because Xue Lian hurt his kidney water.Qiu Mama was not taken over by Xue Lian, but was assigned to a housekeeper of Yangwuhou's family.However, Mother Qiu's position in the Yangwuhou Mansion has never been shaken.

In fact, looking at it from a modern perspective, Madam Qiu is actually a very capable woman, which is nothing more than the prejudice and discrimination against women in this era.Buried her.It made her only able to show off her skills in the inner house.

Qiu Momo had long understood that what she had done was a bit excessive.After all, rules don't care about favors.Because in the Ming Dynasty, there were only very harsh mistresses or mother-in-laws.Only then will the concubine or daughter-in-law completely follow such rules.Let them serve by your side.

Generally speaking, that is to say, it is enough to make sense of it.When a concubine or daughter-in-law pretends to be a servant, the mistress or mother-in-law will immediately let her rest magnanimously, which is not the case today when she was bowling rice.

So Qiu Momo knew that Wu Shigong must be very angry, but Qiu Momo wanted to establish Xue Yufei's absolute mistress status in the inner house, so.She took the initiative to talk to Wu Shigong tonight, and took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation, just to control the right to speak.

Qiu Momo said to Wu Shigong again: "I seem to be dazzled just now, is my uncle talking to Eldest Sister?"

Wu Shigong heard that Qiu Mama saw him talking to Xiaojie.This is not something shameful, so I immediately nodded and replied: "Yes! What's the matter?"

"The servant girl is going to say something more." Wu Shigong immediately frowned, listening to what Qiu Mama would say, "My uncle is full of energy and blood, and the elder sister is growing up again, and it is adoption again. I hope my uncle will speak carefully." Be careful."

Wu Shigong didn't understand Qiu Mama's words all of a sudden, he was stunned for a while, finally understood Qiu Mama's meaning, immediately flew into a rage, and scolded: "You are presumptuous!" If it wasn't for Wu Shigong never hitting women , Wu Shigong already punched him.

"what!"

Wu Shigong was always very kind in the inner house, and he rarely got angry, so his anger made Xue Yufei who was hiding behind the curtain couldn't help screaming in shock, and came out from behind the curtain.

And Mother Qiu knelt down with a "plop".However, there was no expression of fear on her face at all, and she still said to Wu Shigong unhurriedly: "The eldest sister is almost old, and she still stays in the boudoir at night, so it is inevitable to be misunderstood. And the uncle is away all the year round, and the inner house There is no discipline. This time Madam wants her servants to help the young lady tidy up the inner house."

Wu Shigong suddenly calmed down.He realized that Qiu Momo's words were not wrong.After all, Xiaojie is 13 years old. She might still be a child in modern times, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was time to get married.

But this is not a problem.Everyone could see that Wu Shigong really treated Xiaojie as his daughter.Wu Shigong didn't believe in Qiu Momo, an old maid, oh no!Old woman, Wu Shigong looked again at Madam Qiu's charming face.Wu Shigong couldn't find any other titles, anyway, Mother Qiu would never do such a stupid thing, does she think it's fun to deliberately use words to provoke her, the Patriarch?

Wu Shigong didn't believe this, because after he had a brief contact with Qiu Momo, he already felt that Qiu Momo was a powerful woman.Then Madam Qiu's words must have ulterior motives.But for a moment, Wu Shigong didn't understand what Qiu Momo was up to, so Wu Shigong calmed down completely, and said coldly to Qiu Momo, "Then what do you want to do?"

Qiu Momo knelt down and kowtowed her head and said: "Miss! Uncle! I want to discipline the servants in the mansion well, so that they can also learn the rules of the big family. In addition, the accounts of the inner house must be clear, and the young lady also needs to be careful. Take care of it. Young masters and young ladies should also learn how to behave. Don’t lose the dignity of the Hou family.”

Wu Shigong was immediately annoyed.This Qiu Mama is not impolite, she has to seize the financial rights, personnel rights, and the education rights of her own children!And Xue Yufei looked at Wu Shigong's expression nervously, for fear that Wu Shigong would get angry again.

Wu Shigong could see that Mammy Qiu's previous words and deeds were all about putting pressure on herself, forcing herself to make concessions and hand over the management of the inner house to Xue Yufei.But Wu Shigong also understands that Xue Yufei's temper will not be able to handle the affairs of the inner house well. By then, the power will all fall in the hands of Qiu Mama, right?

But at this time, Wu Shigong was not interested in arguing with Qiu Momo anymore.He simply cut the mess with a sharp knife.Immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay! I will do as you say. I am busy with affairs outside, and I can't take care of so many things in the house. But I am tired outside, and I don't want to worry about anything when I go back to the house."

"Both Fei'er and Lin'er are the most important people in my mind, and I am relieved that she will manage the inner house. But I also love all the family members very much. Especially Zhu Yun's service is inseparable. So at dinner today I don't want to hear what happened again. Do you understand? After you understand, you will go down."

Mammy Qiu immediately kowtowed and stepped back.Everything she does today.That is to give everyone in the inner house a warning.As long as Wu Shigong's authorization is obtained, Madam Qiu will definitely not act so excessively in the future.She won't offend everyone either.So after getting Wu Shigong's approval.She also went down contentedly.

After Qiu Momo retreated, Xue Yufei was still a little worried about Wu Shigong's anger. She leaned against Wu Shigong and said softly: "Qi Momo is actually very kind. She has always been very kind to my concubine, so other The younger sister and the children will not suffer. Today...today, she will only do this if the madam tells her to."

Wu Shigong laughed out loud with a "puchi".This silly girl even confessed to her own mother.Besides.Would Mother Qiu treat Xue Yufei badly?But the kindness that Qiu Mama treats Xue Yufei means that she is also kind to other people?Just look at how she punished her daughter Zhu Yun at that time.

Seeing Wu Shigong's laugh, Xue Yufei became even more flustered.She hurriedly said: "Actually, my concubine likes my husband's children very much. I came here this time. I just wanted to discuss something with my husband. Lord Hou and his wife found a marriage for Lin'er. The Seventh Miss of the Shizi's family, I have also visited, and she is a good match, and the age is about the same. As long as the husband nods, I will write to make this marriage final."

Wu Shigong rolled his eyes and stared at Xue Yufei for a long time. How old is his little friend Xue Chenglin?Why are we getting married?Although I know that the Ming Dynasty advocated early marriage, but this is too much.

"What? Could it be that your husband won't agree?" Xue Yufei's expression became even more worried.

"Oh no!" Wu Shigong immediately smiled and said, "I have been away from the capital for a long time, and the matters in the mansion are still decided by Lord Hou and Madam. I have no objection."

Xue Yufei became happy all of a sudden, and then said: "The concubine will let my wife look for it, and find a good family for my eldest sister in Xungui's house."

"It goes without saying for the time being!" Wu Shigong immediately rejected Xue Yufei's kindness, "Now Xiaojie is still young, and she will be raised for a few more years. Then everything will go with the flow. To be honest, those dudes in the capital are not worthy of me, Wu Shigong." child."

At this time, Wu Shigong thought that when he had come to this point, his children's future marriages must be mostly political marriages, and any free love would be insulated from them.If Xiaojie can form a positive relationship with Tao Xin, she will be considered a good deed.But it's too early to say all of this.

Seeing Wu Shigong frowning again, Xue Yufei asked again: "What is husband thinking?"

Wu Shigong stretched out his hand and pinched Xue Yufei's nose, and replied with a smile: "My husband is thinking: I want my wife to be carefree every day, and not to be bothered by anything. Alright! It's getting late, hurry up and undress your husband." !"

"Husband——!" (To be continued...)
