In the spring before the first wife's return to the hall

Chapter 68

Qi'er, who looks ordinary, rarely has a chance to change her own destiny, so she takes every step very carefully: she has thought about her bold actions many times.

When facing Lianxiang, she would always take a step back and not compare with Lianxiang, because Lianxiang was brought into the mansion by Jin Er, and she was by no means comparable to someone like her who appeared halfway.

Therefore, even though she thought Lianxiang's greed was terrible and inappropriate at this time, she didn't dare to signal to Jin'er, let alone reminded her.

Lianxiang woke up suddenly after hearing Qi'er's words, and took advantage of Qi'er's words as a step to retreat from the room; it didn't matter if she changed her dress or not, the most important thing was that she needed time to be happy.

It has been more than ten years since she was born, and she has also suffered for more than ten years; she has seen women riding in a carriage, but she dare not imagine that she will become one of them.

But right now she has something in the palace!How many women are there in the world, and how many women can have palace ornaments?At this moment, Lianxiang knew how right she was to follow Jin'er to the Jin Mansion.

In the future, she will become the aunt of the Jin Mansion, become a master, and possess more gold, silver and jewelry.

Jin'er didn't take a second look at Lianxiang, a person she knew very well, who she saw more thoroughly at the moment, did she need to look more?
Qi'er put the tea in front of Min'er and Li'er, and then put the last cup in Jin'er's hand: "Ma'am, there is a little bit of chaos in the house."

Jin'er looked up: "Because of the Fourth Aunt Tong's matter?"

"Yes. Originally, everyone thought that the butler's loss of errand was already a severe punishment, and it was Mrs. Tan who personally punished him. The master will send the three of them to the Zhuangzi after reprimanding him again."

Qi'er's voice was steady, and she could not hear what she was thinking in her voice: "But the master sent the housekeeper to the government after being punished. I heard that he is dead."

"The butler's son was also sent there, and the housekeeper's wife has been beaten to death - none of the housekeeper's family will stay in the mansion."

When she said this, she looked at Jin'er: "Madam, many people in the house think that the master is so angry because the housekeeper and the others offended you."

"The maidservants all know it's not the case. If you don't want to find a way to explain this matter, I'm afraid it will be used by someone with a heart, and it will be extremely disadvantageous to Madam Yu."

She is well aware of Mrs. Jin's attitude towards Jin'er, especially when Tan Qiuyin is there. Of course, it is best for Jin'er not to bear such a reputation at a time like this.

Jin'er shook her head: "How to explain? If people know the details, they will think that the butler's family deserves it, but what about Tong Si? She doesn't have a strong desire to live, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stand everyone's anger." verbal punishment."

"Besides, this matter is my opinion. No matter what others say, I ask myself that I am worthy of the four words of conscience. If others say long or short, I care about it. This day will not pass."

After Jin'er finished speaking, he took a sip of tea: "Qi'er's hands are really skillful, the same tea in your hands is different from Lianxiang's."

She is really fearless.

Qi'er didn't say anything more, but there was a cry from outside the door: it turned out that Aunt Tong Si was outside the door, waiting for Qi'er to report to Jin'er before she came in again.

Jin'er heard this cry and looked at Qi'er, knowing that it was Qi'er's arrangement, that she wanted Fourth Aunt Tong to accept her a complete favor.

But why bother?She didn't want to be kind to Fourth Aunt Tong, if it wasn't for Jin Dexi's outrageous actions, she would not have helped Fourth Aunt Tong if she had been beaten or something.

Not for other reasons, but because Aunt Tong Si regarded her as an enemy, of course she would not retaliate with virtue; and she did not want to repay hatred with virtue in behalf of Tong Si, but she just couldn't tolerate women being bullied like this.

She has her bottom line.

Qi'er went over and invited Fourth Aunt Tong to come in: "You want to thank Madam, I said you don't have to."

Fourth Aunt Tong knelt at Jin'er's feet: "My servant is willing to work for a horse..."

Jin'er looked at Fourth Aunt Tong in surprise: "You—"

Qi'er explained from the side: "Master's self-blame is not because he didn't think well, and he would not let Tong Si suffer, so he allowed her to stay in the mansion."

"But the servant girl has no face to serve the master, so she is willing to be a servant girl and just asks for a place to stay." Tong Si took the words: "The master knows my heart and allowed me to clean up in the mansion. I have already been cleaned up. A quiet room."

When she said this, she kowtowed again: "The servant girl is still too self-interested. She only thinks of herself, but she doesn't think of Madam. She really deserves to die. I would like to use my remaining body to serve Madam..."

Jin'er sighed and pulled her up: "It doesn't have to be like this, I mean it really doesn't have to be like this; after all, you are the aunt of the mansion, how can you be my slave and handmaiden here? You go to clean up by yourself, and your heart is enough."

Tong Si wanted to say more, but was pulled back by Qi'er: "It's good for you to be filial, but if you really want Madam to serve as your maid, it's one thing for those talkative people to say that you are one thing, so what will happen?" Chewing Madam's bad words?"

Qi'er patted her hand lightly: "As long as you have the heart, you can do a lot of things, and you don't have to be by Madam's side, right?"

Tong Si was not a stupid person in the first place, and now he understood the matter of staying with Jin'er and nodding his head again and again.

After sending Tong Si away, Jin'er looked at Qi'er, and knew that this girl wanted to take Tong Si for her use: but she really didn't have the intention.

Qi'er didn't explain until the Min'er sister and brother left: "Madam has no help in the mansion, only relying on the master's words, if the maid says something that shouldn't be said, she will only help more and more; because many people can't see the master's treatment. Hello madam."

"Tong Si has been in the mansion for several years, and was given to the master by the great grandfather. His status is a bit special, and his status in the mansion is also a little different from that of the other aunts."

"Now that she wants to clean up, I believe that many people in the mansion will only get close to her, and maybe she can help the madam; it's not just that the maidservant is counting on something, but there are always good things for more people, you said Woolen cloth?"

Jin'er sighed: "I let you talk, what else can I say. No wonder it's called Qi'er, she really has a delicate heart."

Qi'er looked at Jin'er: "The woman who asked someone to check on Madam..."

Jin'er's heart sank when she heard this: "I have my own calculations." She stood up without explaining much; and Qi'er also had a wink and didn't say any more. Of course a servant must know what to say Just click on it.

Qi'er said something more, just because it was too strange, why Madam saw her as if she saw a ghost.

The breeze was refreshing, Jin'er asked Lianxiang and Qi'er to put the table under the big willow tree, and they would eat here when they were preparing for lunch.

Lianxiang looked towards the gate of the courtyard several times, because she could hear clearly, Jin Jingyi had promised Jin'er that she would come: why didn't she come?She was even more anxious than Jin'er, the righteous master.

Unlike the shady half of the courtyard in Xinyuan, the coolness in the lotus garden is all due to the lake water; it is a good time in early summer, and the lotus leaves all over the lake are so refreshing.

Tan Qiuyin loves lotus, that's why Jin Jingyi asked someone to build this yard by the lake, so that it is the lotus of this lake.

But now Tan Qiuyin turned a blind eye to the emerald green of the lake, sitting on a chair, holding a teacup tightly in her hand, her fingers turned white from exertion.

The water in the cup was splashed out from time to time because of her shaking hands, but she didn't notice it at all.

She had already dealt with the housekeeper's family, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Mu Jin'er: Jin Jingyi should understand that no matter what mistakes the housekeeper and the others made, Jin Jingyi would tell her how to deal with the housekeeper in the end.

At that time, she will of course rely on Jin Jingyi, but everyone in the Jin family will think that it is her idea of ​​Tan Qiuyin: Naturally, she is the only headed mistress of the Jin family.

The status is unbreakable.

But Jin Jingyi didn't ask her a single word, he didn't even send someone to come, and sent Jin Baozhu's family away directly: he insisted on slapping her hard, and took Mu Jiner's hand to slap her.

The most annoying thing was that she sent someone to invite Jin Jingyi to come over - Jin Jingyi dealt with Jin Baozhu and others very quickly, much faster than she expected.

She just wanted to ask Jin Jingyi why he didn't respect her, and at the same time, she wanted Jin Jingyi to come over for lunch: she knew that Mu Jiner had something to say to Jin Jingyi, so she insisted on Jin Jingyi coming to her for lunch.

At that time, it's okay for Jin Jingyi to go to Mu Jiner's place, because Jin Jingyi came to her first; but what?Jin Jingyi refused, the reason being that he was going to Mu Jiner's place.

The door was pushed open, and before Nongqin stepped in, before she could speak, Tan Qiuyin threw the teacup in her hand viciously, hitting Nongqin's feet heavily.

Water and debris splashed in all directions, scaring Nongqin into jumping out immediately, and then stepped in again: "Ma'am..."

"Well. Let someone clean up." Tan Qiuyin had already stood up and turned her back, her voice was as flat as usual: "What's the matter?"

Nongqin agreed, and went to help Tan Qiuyin to sit down: "Xiangsu did go to the master, but he didn't see the master, and was stopped by Jiu Ge."

Tan Qiuyin nodded to show that she heard: "You go to the master again, just say go to Mrs. Tai's place earlier before the dinner." It is impossible for her to ask Jin Jingyi to come over, so she will take a little detour.

She went to Mrs. Tai's side early to wait for him, and no matter what, she would accompany Jin Jingyi in front of the county lord.

Jin Jing's mother is filial, so he shouldn't object.

Nongqin said softly: "The sorceress is here again, she is in the flower hall; she said that she can clear up my wife's doubts."

When the sorceress saw Tan Qiuyin, there were also guests from Mrs. Tai's place. They were her sister-in-law, Ma Shi, the wife of her husband's elder brother, and Mrs. Jin Datai.

Mrs. Ma looks doughy, and her dress seems to be tied to her body: "Sister-in-law, I just heard that Mrs. Tong did something wrong? Even if she did something wrong, she will be taught by her elders." , there is no reason to say that if you drive out, you will be driven out."
