Need for money

Second Mistress married into the Lin Mansion for more than ten days, and it was the first time she took power to manage the family affairs. The first person to investigate and deal with was Mrs. Lin's confidant Li Guanshi. sensation.

In private, the servants and maids whispered and said anything.

Some people said that the second mistress was very powerful, and she grabbed Guanshi Li as the confidant of Mrs. Lin, and she did a lot of evil things, forcing Mrs. Lin to authorize her.

Some people said that Mrs. Lin didn't like the second grandma, so she deliberately asked her to deal with Li Guanshi, and then found an excuse in the second grandma's handling, and insulted her.

Some people say that the second grandma got too many stares when she first married into the Lin family, which made her lose face, and she was afraid that she would not be able to manage the Lin family's backyard in the future, so she asked Mrs. Lin to take this job, just to make an example of others and make money. Some prestige.

Others said that Mrs. Lin felt that she was old and mentally weak, and planned to train the second grandma to uphold the dignity of the second grandma, so she handed over the matter to the second grandma to handle it. While testing, she carefully trained her.

There are different opinions, and the relationship between Tang Yuxiang and Mrs. Lin has been covered with a veil of mystery.

Tang Yuxiang took the lead along the way, leading Zhiqiu and Zhidong to the hall, seeing their servants along the way, all respectfully kowtowed and saluted. Compared with the past, her attitude has changed quite a bit. It alluded to the huge gap between a master with power and a master without power in the eyes of servants.

Sitting in the seat in the hall, Tang Yuxiang had a complex expression on her face. Until now, she still couldn't forget that when she first married into Lin's family, even a rough envoy could point fingers at her, call her a tough man, and be a bastard.

Standing behind Tang Yuxiang, Zhiqiu was the most excited. The master has a high status, and even with her, a little girl, she can walk straight. , and even so, it may not necessarily be able to do well.

Zhidong's temperament is calmer, although he is also very happy, but at least he can keep his face unchanged.

"Your servant sees Second Mistress."

"Greetings to Second Mistress."

Because there is a major matter to be dealt with today, Zhiqiu was afraid that the master would not be able to shake the scene, so he asked Zhichun and Zhixia to come to the hall later, so that there are more people to show more momentum.

Tang Yuxiang was awakened by the voices of the two maids, nodded, motioned for the two to get up, and then ordered the maids guarding the hall to find all of Li Guanshi and the servants who sued Li Guanshi, including Two aunts.

At this time, Tang Yuxiang was different from the past. He obeyed the order of Mrs. Lin, which was equivalent to taking a Shangfang sword that could hold the power of life and death in Lin's mansion, so the girls in the hall did not dare to neglect, and hurried out to find someone up.

Seeing that all the maids in the hall ran out, Zhiqiu took a step forward and said sarcastically: "Second Mistress, you don't know, the last time the slaves came to the hall, they were laughed at by these girls for a long time, some of them laughed at the humble background of the slaves, I don't understand the rules, some laugh at the servants' clothes, how shabby they are, how shabby they are, they can really piss people off, but today, these maids are all groveling when they see the servants, hum, according to the servants, these people They are all the masters who exalt the high and depress the low, and there is no good thing."

Tang Yuxiang was thinking about how to investigate the matter clearly, so she didn't pay too much attention, just nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought again.

Zhidong frowned when she heard the words, and felt that Zhiqiu's words were a bit harsh, but she had also been laughed at before, and she knew it was very uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything to persuade her.

With the backing of Mrs. Lin, the work was really effective. After a while, several servants brought up Guanshi Li. In the past, Guanshi Li had a great reputation in the mansion, and he was even more arrogant than some masters. He was released yesterday. Locked up in the firewood room for one night, and then escorted by several servants to the hall, he was completely lost.

Although people didn't dare to do anything to Guan Shi along the way, he was still blushing and embarrassed when he was seen by the servants who had been supporting him in the past. It wasn't Mrs. Lin, but Tang Yuxiang. Although he was surprised by Tang Yuxiang's beauty, he hesitated for a moment and didn't kneel down. He just bowed and gave a salute.

In the past in the Lin Mansion, he had never knelt down to any hostess other than Mrs. Lin. On the contrary, some hostesses without power had to give him a smile and give him some benefits in order to accomplish certain things.

Tang Yuxiang had seen Guanshi Li's handsome appearance before, so now seeing him disheveled and embarrassed, he had some sympathy for him, so he didn't mind his unreasonableness, but Zhiqiu, who was standing aside, quit, and scolded softly: "What a bold slave, why didn't you kneel when you saw your master? Come here, pull it down and slap your mouth!"

This sound shocked everyone in the hall. After all, they didn't expect Second Grandma to be so strong this time, she didn't even ask a question, but just because Manager Li was a little rude, she wanted to slap her.

In fact, in the eyes of some servants, Li Guanshi was not rude, because Li Guanshi had never knelt down when he saw a mistress other than Mrs. Lin.

Tang Yuxiang didn't expect that Zhiqiu would make her own decision. For such a trivial matter, Guanshi Li would be punished, and her brows were also wrinkled. If she hadn't been more stable, she might have said something about Zhiqiu, but I thought about it After thinking about it, she just sat there quietly, watching what the servants in the hall would do and whether they would listen to her orders.

All the servants in the hall knew that Guanshi Li was the confidant of Mrs. Lin, so they all looked at each other and hesitated to move forward.

"Are you all deaf? Can't hear the order of the second wife? A group of blind slaves, if you don't get beaten by me, if you don't obey, you will report back to the old lady and sell you all!" Zhiqiu saw The maids and women serving in the hall did not do anything and cursed loudly.

These servants heard that Zhiqiu had moved Mrs. Lin out, and only then did they realize that the second grandma was serving under Mrs. Lin's order this time. If she accidentally collided with her, she might really be betrayed. Go out, so a few brave ones stepped forward to grab Li Guanshi and slap his mouth.

Li Guanshi did not expect that a little girl next to Tang Yuxiang would dare to be so arrogant in front of him. He really felt the humiliation of being bullied by dogs in Pingyang. Rest, he is no longer as scared as yesterday. He thinks Mrs. Lin will protect him, otherwise he will not refute the face of the second master. With confidence in his heart, how can he let these people The mother-in-law is crazy,

"Bold, a group of lowly and blind slaves dare to torture me. Don't be afraid that I will turn over and take your heads in the future!"

The tiles on the roof that were shaken by this stern shout shook a few times, and the women who were about to start turned pale in fright, and stopped their hands again. They knew what kind of person Li Guanshi was. Yes, if they can turn around again in the future, they will die.

Tang Yuxiang used to see that Guanshi Li was a good-looking person, and she didn't feel bad for him. In addition, she was very dissatisfied with Lin Jingzhi's anger with her because of the two aunts, so she even hoped that Guanshi Li was wronged. In this way, Lin Jingzhi will not dare to say anything in front of her in the future, how pitiful it is for his aunt to be bullied.

After Zhiqiu yelled, although she didn't stop her, she didn't really intend to do anything, as long as he was subdued and knelt down and kowtowed, the matter would be over.

But she didn't expect that Guanshi Li dared to resist in public and threatened his servants, it was really against the heavens!

Could it be that Guanshi Li is really a wealthy slave who dares to bully his master?

Tang Yuxiang had this question in her heart for the first time, and just as she was pondering with a gloomy face, Zhiqiu on the side spoke again, "Li Zhong, don't forget who you are, how dare you act in front of the second wife?" Shouting loudly in front of you, do you still have a master in your eyes, come here, hit me until he is convinced!"

At this moment, the women guarding here looked bitter, and shouted in their hearts that it was unlucky. If they knew this would happen today, they would all take sick leave to rest, but now that people are here, they have to obey the orders of one party, so Five or six wives had their own thoughts, half of them felt that Second Mistress was not prestige enough, and Guanshi Li was a confidant of Mrs. Lin, so she just stood there without doing anything. One is right, the future is worrying, continue to push forward.

Anyway, Guanshi Li is also a man, if he tries hard to resist, two or three wives really can't hold him back.

Tang Yuxiang saw that only half of the people did it, and the two eyebrows painted by the old lady became more and more wrinkled. Zhiqiu was furious and no longer cared about anything. If Guanshi Li can't be punished now, the master's face will be lost. So she rushed over in two or three steps, raised her arms, and slapped her face twice.

"Bah, bah"

With the sound of the sound, the hall fell silent, the two women also stopped their hands, and everyone turned their attention to Zhiqiu and Guanshi Li.

Li Guanshi was stupefied at the beginning, he really didn't expect this little girl to dare to slap him, who is he, he is the confidant of Mrs. Lin, he is very respectable in Lin's mansion, but now, He was actually beaten by a maid!

"Looking for death!" After regaining his senses, Li Guanshi cursed angrily, raised his leg and kicked it.

Although Zhiqiu has a bit of a temper, she is only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She just slapped Guanshi Li twice with anger, but she was also uneasy. Seeing that Guanshi Li wanted to fight back, she Feeling timid, he quickly jumped back and hid. Seeing that the little girl hadn't been kicked by Li Guanshi, he raised his leg and chased after her.

Zhiqiu hit people and fought back with Li Guanshi, all in the blink of an eye, when Tang Yuxiang reacted, Zhiqiu was forced by Li Guanshi to circle the table, Tang Yuxiang waved eagerly,

"Zhiqiu, come here quickly, come to my place."

Hearing Tang Yuxiang's call, Zhiqiu thought that the second grandma was the master after all, and Guanshi Li didn't dare to do anything to the master, so he ran here obediently, but Guanshi Li was so angry that he lost his mind at this time, how could he want to After so much, he still keeps on chasing.

Tang Yuxiang took a few steps forward, pulled Zhiqiu behind her, and said angrily: "Guan Li, do you really not take my master seriously?"

Li Guan was dragged by the two wives beforehand, and then chased after Zhiqiu. He was exhausted and out of breath at the moment. Standing behind Tang Yuxiang's right, he raised his leg again and tried to kick across Tang Yuxiang.

Li Guanshi's bold move fell into the eyes of everyone in the hall, but it changed their taste, because they didn't know who Li Guanshi was going to hit. Zhidong followed Tang Yuxiang all the time, and they didn't know where the courage came from when they saw this. He bumped Guanshi Li's chest with his shoulder before.

Li Guanshi had already raised one leg, and fell to the ground after being hit by the impact. At this time, the women who had done the work earlier also reacted, rushed forward together, and pressed Li Guanshi to the ground. , can't move at all.

Seeing that Manager Li was restrained, Tang Yuxiang pulled Zhiqiu and Zhidong over, looked them up and down, and asked anxiously, "Come here and see, are you injured?"

The two little girls were terrified at this moment, their legs were trembling, and they couldn't speak, they just kept shaking their heads.

Dragging the two little girls around for a few times, Tang Yuxiang was relieved when she saw that they were really not injured, and then the anger rose in her chest. This manager Li is really against the sky. In his eyes, there is still Are you my second grandma?

"Li Zhong, you really have the guts of a bear, and you dare to beat me too!" Tang Yuxiang was really angry, so she knew that Li Guanshi didn't want to beat herself, and she couldn't care less about it. Now she just He wanted to vent his anger on the two little girls, but he wanted to punish Li Guanshi. Naturally, the more reasons he had, the better.

"I'm not going to hit you, I'm going to hit that lowly servant girl!" Li Guanshi puffed his neck to defend, but at this time, no one in the hall believed his words.

The two wives pressed Guanshi Li tightly, not wanting him to turn over, but after Li Guanshi lay on the ground and rested for a while, he regained his strength, and the two of them could no longer suppress this resistance.

Seeing this, Tang Yuxiang was angry and anxious. Just as she was about to call the remaining women to help, she suddenly realized that her eyes went dark, and there was an extra figure in front of her. Li Guanshi's head was smashed down.

With a sound of "Bang!", the wooden chair fell apart.

Immediately, Guanshi Li let out an earth-shattering cry, "Ah!"

Under the pain, Li Guanshi's strength increased several times at once, and the women could no longer hold back, so they let go, so Li Guanshi hugged his blood-stained head and rolled all over the floor, sometimes A few timid maids were startled, and when they came back to their senses, they screamed loudly.

Tang Yuxiang is a doctor and is not afraid of blood. Although he was taken aback by the man's cruel methods, he immediately woke up. The first thing he did was to take Zhidong and Zhiqiu, who were shaking all over, into his arms.

"Who are you?" Tang Yuxiang patted the backs of the two little girls before looking at the visitor.

There were two women standing in front of Tang Yuxiang. One was wearing a light blue dress, with a plump body and a good complexion. Although there was fear in this woman's eyes, she still walked forward thoughtfully. Taking Zhidong into his arms, he softly comforted her,

"Don't be afraid, everything is over. Go back to Second Mistress, the concubine is Aunt Wan."

What attracted more attention was another woman, that woman was wearing a long water-green dress, her face was covered with fine gauze, she was tall and slender, and she was pinching the broken back of the chair with a small white hand. The woman moved her hand.

"The concubine is Aunt Yu!"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Yu threw the broken back of the chair in her hand, and said coldly to the maids who were still screaming: "Shut up, anyone who dares to scream again, I will cut off her tongue. "

These words were very effective, those maids immediately covered their mouths with their hands and shut up, not daring to utter another syllable, looking at Aunt Yu with horror in their eyes, they had clearly classified Aunt Yu as not to be provoked of the object.

Since Aunt Wan and Aunt Yu seldom leave the small courtyard since entering the mansion, this is the first time Tang Yuxiang has seen them. At this moment, she saw that Aunt Yu shocked all the servants when she made a move, and felt uncomfortable for a while. The main wife, but now she is forced to be compared by a concubine. Although she also understands that Aunt Yu has helped her a lot, the arrogance in her bones makes her unwilling to admit defeat in front of the two concubines.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuxiang let go of Zhiqiu, turned around, and slowly walked towards the main seat. After sitting down, she looked at the two aunts and said calmly:

"It turned out to be two younger sisters. We should be meeting for the first time."

The two were startled for a moment, and then Aunt Wan came back to her senses first. She let go of Zhidong in her arms, and quickly walked up to the front of the teapot and poured a cup of warm tea. Then she came to Tang Yuxiang, knelt down with a plop, and raised the teacup Standing up, high above his head, he said respectfully:

"My concubine pays my respects to Second Grandma, and wishes Second Grandma good health and all the best."

Tang Yuxiang looked at Aunt Wan's face first, and then took the tea into her hands, but she didn't drink it immediately. Aunt Wan felt that her hands were empty, so she quickly kowtowed three times respectfully. Neither fast nor slow, without any pretentiousness, when she raised her head, Tang Yuxiang could clearly see that Aunt Wan's forehead was already bruised and purple.

Seeing that Aunt Wan was not lazy during the salute, Tang Yuxiang put the teacup to her mouth and took a sip, saying, "Get up."

"Yes!" Aunt Wan replied, then stood up and walked to the table, and poured another cup of warm tea.

According to the rules, when the concubine and the main wife meet for the first time, they should kneel down and offer tea. Before offering the tea, they should kowtow three times, then raise the teacup over the top, call themselves maid concubine, and say a word of blessing.

Aunt Yu knew this too, but when she walked into the hall earlier, she saw that Tang Yuxiang had nothing to do with a servant, and she was overwhelmed with justice. It was Tang Yuxiang's relief, but she never expected that the second mistress in front of her would just say thank you, and she would give her a blow!

Really being this aunt, does she like being that? If it wasn't for saving people in the first place, how could she have fallen to such a state!

With resentment in her heart, Aunt Yu clenched her fists tightly, and her sharp nails sank deeply into the flesh.

Tang Yuxiang, on the other hand, sat quietly on the chair, looking at Aunt Yu who dared to hit someone's head with a chair with a blank expression. When meeting this Aunt Yu, who was three points tougher than Guanshi Li, there was no disturbance in her heart.
