Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 53 Moon Silver
"Ma'am, don't worry, this servant is going to invite the doctor right now. Mammy has repeatedly told me that this servant must serve Madam well. Don't let Madam get angry in a hurry, Mama will miss you." May said hurriedly.

"I know, I know, hurry up and get a doctor, don't be afraid of spending money, you must use the best medicine, by the way, your mother Jiang's room is here, why hasn't she been sent back yet?" Mrs. Su paused. Resting his mind, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked in a low voice.

"This... Mrs. Madam, Mammy is afraid that the medicine will blow you away, so she deliberately went outside to recuperate. Butler Ding is Mammy's godson, can he take good care of Mammy?" Xiangmei was also a little impatient and thoughtful After turning around, he immediately made up a statement, which finally convinced Mrs. Su.

Holding the golden pickle and walking out of the upper room, Xiangmei felt troubled. She had already inquired about it just now, and the master strictly forbade anyone to ask for a doctor for Mammy Jiang. How dare she openly disobey the master's order!

After thinking for a while, Xiangmei went back to her room and changed her clothes, carefully hid the gold coins, grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into her purse, then quietly came to the west corner gate, and gave a large handful of copper coins to the gatekeeper's wife Buying wine and drinking, the woman guarding the west corner gate opened and closed her eyes, and let Xiangmei slip out of the house.

Xiangmei stayed outside for about an hour before returning to the General's Mansion. When she went out, she was empty-handed, but when she came back, she had already carried a not-so-small burden. The woman at the door naturally wanted to ask Just ask, if Xiangmei brings some prohibited things, they will also eat melons.

Seeing the mother-in-law approaching to inquire, Xiangmei quickly stuffed a bag of marinated goods in it, and said with a smile: "Mothers have worked hard, I bought some sauced meat for my mother to drink, it is still hot, mother hurried to the house Eat it, it won’t taste good when it’s cold, and I have to hurry up to deliver something to my wife, since my wife has become pregnant, she likes to eat Yang Kee candied fruit, no, I bought a big bag of it.”

There is a saying that it is shorthanded, the two women don't care about anything when they get the sauce, and quickly send Xiangmei away to close the door. It is rare for the two sisters to have good food and wine, so they don't want to drink a few more glasses...

Mother Jiang was beaten to only half her life. She was too busy to care for herself, so of course she couldn't continue to poison the eldest girl Du Heng. After taking the self-made antidote, Du Heng recovered quickly, but because of headache Life has not been good for a few years, so Du Heng still looks quite weak, and his face has never had any color.This made Mama Liao very anxious.Ever since Xi Yuxuan set up a small kitchen, Mammy Liao plunged into it and almost never came out.

Every day, Mammy Liao boils the ginseng, angelica, astragalus, snow lotus, and ganoderma into nourishing soup for her daughter's body, but Du Heng's scalp becomes numb when she sees Mommy Liao. Entering the room with the tonic, she either lay down and pretended to be asleep, or hid in the clean room, which really made Yang Mei laugh. Since she served the girl, she has never seen such a big emotional change in the girl.

Unconsciously, a few days passed, and it was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the day when the government distributed monthly money to the servants and rewarded money for the New Year.The servants of the entire family are eagerly looking forward to this day. After receiving the monthly money and rewards, most of the servants will be able to go home for the New Year. They will not come back to serve as errands until the fifth day of the lunar new year. Only those servants who serve the master personally are not allowed to take annual leave , but usually the government will give these people double the rewards, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will take turns to make up the annual leave for these maids, women, and servants who cannot go home for the New Year.

Early in the morning on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Mei dragged Mammy Liao to collect the moon silver. Mammy Liao was unwilling at first, but Yang Mei had no choice but to go with her after entering the room to see the girl who was still sleeping. The Yishouyuan.Because Mrs. Su was pregnant, Mrs. He forcefully took away her power of housekeeper, and the place where the monthly money was distributed was moved to the Yongnian Hall of the Yishou Garden.

When Nanny Liao and Yang Mei came to the yard under the steps of Yongnian Hall, the nanny in charge and some maidservants from all over the mansion were already waiting in the yard.These maids and maids who usually don’t even look at Madam Liao and Yang Mei are different now. As soon as Madam Liao and Yang Mei entered the courtyard, they greeted them affectionately, one by one. Miss Yangmei screamed, and the two screamed with goose bumps all over their bodies. The intimacy of those people really made them unbearable.

Fortunately, the sound of opening the door of Yongnian Hall interrupted the flattery, Mammy Liao immediately said with a smile: "The door is open, let's line up quickly, and we can go back to serve the master earlier if we finish receiving it earlier." , Qiqi started to push Nanny Liao and Yangmei to the front, so that they could receive the reward money and the monthly silver first.

Nanny Liao and Yang Mei thanked her again and again before standing in the first place. Nanny Liao was better. After all, she had been famous before, but Yang Mei had never had such an experience. The excited Yang Mei's face was flushed with excitement. It's hard to restrain myself.

Everyone filed into Yongnian Hall and stood in two compartments. After a while, there was Mrs. He, wearing a big fur lying rabbit with gold inlaid emeralds on her head, a tribute satin jacket with full-sleeved fur and autumn colors, and a horse-faced skirt with stone and blue colors. Holding the hand of the little maid, she walked out slowly, followed by Nanny Li, and behind Nanny Li was the little maid holding a thick account book.

After Mrs. He sat down, Nanny Li took the account book and opened it in front of Mrs. He. A young girl who could read and write hurriedly stood up. Mrs. He was illiterate and couldn't read the account book at all. One of the root causes of her having to put up with her daughter-in-law housekeeper.

The little mammy began to read according to the account book and the list. The first one was not the Yishouyuan and Tangdiyuan, which were always ranked first in previous years, but the Xiyuxuan of the eldest girl Du Heng.Since Mrs. He is the one who released the rewards in person this year, she already sent out the ones from the Yishou Garden yesterday.

Nanny Liao and Yang Mei stepped forward and knelt down. Mrs. He said a few polite words, and then signaled Nanny Li to pass all the moon silver from Xi Yuxuan's servants to Momo Liao. Momo Liao looked at the beautiful 20 With two silver coins, I have mixed feelings in my heart. Since my wife passed away, the monthly silver she received no longer has silver ingots, but will never exceed a thousand copper coins.After carefully collecting the 20 taels of silver, Madam Li handed over a heavy purse and five slings of copper coins.Mammy Liao knew that the purse was rewarded by the old lady, and the five slings of copper coins were rewards for other maidservants in Xiyuxuan.

Five hanging copper coins are not light, so Yang Mei quickly reached out to take it, so as not to burden Mammy Liao.The two kowtowed to Mrs. He as a reward and then stepped back, happily returning to Xiyuxuan with a full harvest.Along the way, Nanny Liao and Yang Mei received countless envious and jealous looks, the bright silver ingots and the yellow copper are really eye-catching.
