Daughter's Survival Manual

Chapter 21
Mrs. Zou's family background is not very high, and it is the limit to raise a Zou Sui who looks gentle and respectful on the surface.It was because of Zou Sui that she was able to enter Guiyihou's mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth, but she had never taken over the power of the inner house, and she had appeared in the social circle of noble ladies in Yecheng.The news that the Marquis of Guiyi had gone spread quickly, and many dignitaries and their family members came to the door early in the morning.

Although Han Yao is a female marquis, she is bright and cheerful, and her appearance is as beautiful as a plum blossom, she still has many good wives.Mrs. Zou only heard Han Yao say a little bit that when facing these elegant wives, she found that she couldn't get in except to keep crying.

As soon as the two wives were sent away, Mrs. Zou couldn't take it any longer. She immediately spat on the ground, "What kind of Mrs. Yushi, what kind of Mrs. Guogong, you are just a woman! What you said is useless , Show off in front of me! When my son was born, you people didn't know where you were! Dogs look down on people, if you are good with Han Yao, why don't you go with her, why are you calling in front of me? !"

Madam Zou was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she almost fainted on the spot, "What!" Nanny Ning was so frightened that she quickly covered Madam Zou's mouth. Heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "My old lady, where is the time to say this? If people hear this, then it's okay? This will only look like a few days. When the funeral is over, old lady, you After getting rid of that evil spirit, what do you think of the Hou Mansion, will anyone dare to treat you so slowly at that time?"

Madam Ning's words made Mrs. Zou smile, and Mrs. Zou snorted coldly, but she was not as angry as before.Nanny Ning stepped forward with a flattering smile, and took down a teacup with lotus leaves painted on it from the table, and said with a smile: "Old Madam, this is the Taiping Monkey King I just brewed, please moisten your throat." By Mrs. Zou's side.

Mrs. Zou took a sip of tea, and her heart improved a lot. When she thought of the future life in the Hou's mansion, she would be happy. Isn't it what she wants to have children and grandchildren?Nanny Ning smiled slightly, picked up Mrs. Zou's obedient words, and said: "The lord is already talented and handsome, but without the pressure of a righteous girl, the old lady may not be able to rely on that appearance and literary talent alone." After a few days, one after another came to the door. You just hold Jinsun Tiao.

For a talent like the Lord Lang, the new wife he finds must be as beautiful as a flower, caring and filial to you, adding clothes to you when it’s cold, and fanning you when it’s hot.The new lady will give you ten or eight grandchildren, old lady, I have met so many people, but I have never seen anyone living such a comfortable life like the old lady, I just look at the old lady One person is enough to live. "

Mrs. Zou immediately put down the tea bowl, with a smile on her face, but she pretended to be angry, "How can there be such a good wife as you said? It's fine if she is as beautiful as a flower, caring and filial, as long as she gives me a few more children." Grandson, don't give birth to a child without a handle like her in seven or eight years. After giving birth with great difficulty, you even killed yourself. Tell me, what is it if this is not fate?" Mrs. Zou said, but she After thinking about it, she felt that it was strange, and it took her a long time to remember, "But, tell me, who is so accurate in fortune-telling, so accurate? Counting her giving birth yesterday and dying yesterday?"

Mrs. Zou mentioned it, and it was only when Nanny Ning remembered what the two stable wives said yesterday, "Old lady, I'm afraid it wasn't counted. If you think about what those two wives said yesterday, it was someone who made up their minds to send the lady to heaven. It's..." Mrs. Zou shook her hand, she swept the tea bowl on the ground, she turned her head and said to Nanny Ning: "Don't scare me, didn't they succeed?"

"I didn't succeed, so what's the difference? Madam, the lady is pregnant with the little man, but her body is as weak as the sky. Yesterday was not the day when the man was supposed to give birth. Even if you gave birth to the little man, you Haven't you seen the appearance of a female gentleman, that is a face that can live a long life?" Nanny Ning said she was sure, but she also had a lot of doubts, could there really be women outside Zou Sui's mansion?However, Nanny Ning did not dare to say this to Mrs. Zou. In Mrs. Zou's heart, Zou Sui was very kind.

When Mrs. Zou was talking to Nanny Ning, Han Yuexia also had someone finish the message.Hongxiu stared at Han Yuexia dumbfounded. She never knew when Han Yuexia would actually get involved with the aunts in the back house.

When Han Yue looked at Hongxiu's stupid look, the corners of her mouth turned up. Some people and some things are not just because you ignore her and she doesn't look at you, so you can pretend that it doesn't matter.Even knowing that they will face each other in the future, it will not delay them at all to help them deal with Mrs. Zou now.Mrs. Zou had just caught her breath and had a rest when a nanny came to report that the three aunts from the backyard had also come.

Speaking of Zou Zhen's three aunts, Mrs. Zou didn't like any of them.Those are also a few hens that don't lay eggs, and Aunt Song used to be Han Yao's second-class maid.It was when Han Yao was pregnant with Han Yuexia that she made the decision to follow Zou Sui.As for the other Aunt Mi and Aunt Shi, they were either the concubines Ji who were bestowed by Shangfeng outside, or they were provoked by Zou Yan himself after drinking.

One was unable to refuse, and the other came from an unknown source. When Madam Zou saw that she was not as beautiful as Han Yao, she felt even more displeased.Isn't this ruining her?But this will be reported by someone. According to the rules, these aunts will also offer incense to Han Yao and keep vigil.However, because of his low status, even if he passed out crying in front of the hall in sackcloth, he could only be regarded as an ordinary domestic slave.

In just a short while, the three of Aunt Song appeared in front of Mrs. Zou wearing coarse linen clothes.Aunt Song is the son of Guiyihou's family. She was dissatisfied with the fact that Mrs. Zou was an extra master for no reason. She kept Han Yao from humiliating her for so many years. Now that Han Yao has gone, Mrs. Zou's status in the mansion is not It went up all at once.

Aunt Song didn't like Mrs. Zou, but after hearing Mrs. Zou's thunderous tricks outside the main courtyard yesterday, even though she didn't like it, she could only go forward and greet Mrs. Zou with the corners of her mouth.After all, she is a shallow-minded person, and she can be regarded as being protected by Han Yao in Guiyihou's mansion. Aunt Mi and Aunt Shi, who came out of the crowd of women, are naturally appropriate in their expressions. When the three of them are compared, Aunt Song looks very special Stiff, with a look of indifference on his face.In Madam Zou's eyes, it became more and more obvious that Aunt Song missed her old master and was full of disdain for her.

Mrs. Zou is not a generous person, what's more, in her opinion, if you follow my son, no matter how famous or honored you were before, you are still Zou Sui's concubine. When you see her, you want to serve her.Mrs. Zou was originally because of Han Yao's attention to other people's eyes, but now she bumped into Aunt Song who was not in place.

Mrs. Zou nodded indifferently, as a response, and watched them go to the inner hall to offer incense.They are not allowed to go outside, but if they go out, it will be embarrassing.The three of them finished offering incense and cried once.Aunt Shi timidly walked up to Mrs. Zou and called softly: "Old lady..." Her porcelain-white face and ruddy lips kept trembling, and any man who saw her would feel pity for her.

To be honest, Aunt Mi was still a little hesitant in her heart, she kept looking at Aunt Shi from the corner of her eyes, feeling timid, but she was very moved by Aunt Shi's proposal.Thinking of Aunt Shi's words, and thinking about Mrs. Zou's usual kindness, Aunt Mi finally came out.

Old Mrs. Zou looked at her sideways. Aunt Mi managed to muster up the courage and asked after a while: "Old Madam, the lady just went, and there are many and chaotic things in the house. Although the concubine and the two sisters are from humble backgrounds , but thanks to the great kindness of the female monarch, I have a place to live in the Marquis's mansion. The concubine and the two sisters dare to speak to the old lady, and the concubine is willing to help the old lady share the worries with the lord."

Madam Zou's eyes widened suddenly, she was startled, and a feeling of disgust surged up immediately.She originally thought that these aunts were just crying for the last time, but she didn't expect that they all made up their minds to come up with the internal affairs of the mansion!Mrs. Zou hated Aunt Shi's tender face that seemed to be able to pinch water, and she simply sank, with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face: "What do you want to do? You still want to go out to greet the official's wife? Don't you also think that you have become the half master of Guiyihou's mansion?!"

Seeing Mrs. Zou's refusal, Aunt Mi quickly winked at Aunt Shi who came with her, and Aunt Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The old lady is serious, and maids and concubines will not go to such a scene on stage." The lady is in the middle of five heads and seven. For several days in a row, the affairs in the house are complicated. The old lady is no better than those young women, so she naturally has less energy to take care of these.

The maid and concubine have nothing to do, and I really can't bear to see the old madam that you have no skills at all, so I want to solve the old madam's worries and problems, and take care of some small things within my ability.In this way, the maid and concubine can not only help the old lady and the master, but also use this to do their best for the queen.It is definitely not what the old lady said, overthinking one's own abilities, knowing one's own status but delusional to do things that should not be done by concubines. "

Aunt Shi's words were much more tactful than Aunt Mi's, but Aunt Song, who was in the same position as them, didn't agree with the other two. Seeing that Mrs. Zou's face softened, she suddenly added a sentence: "That's right. , old madam, the concubine thinks so for the sake of the old madam and the lord, the status of the concubine is low, but after all, her vision is farther than those ignorant women outside, how much self-confidence is there for those trivial matters? If you can manage it well, the old master can just rest assured."

"You—" Mrs. Zou suddenly stood up, her hands trembling.Before Zou Sui got married and returned to Yihou's mansion, she was just an ignorant woman from the outside world that Aunt Song said she had no vision and no ability. How did she ever take care of such a big matter?Concubine Song's face is high-sounding, but Mrs. Zou is thorny in her heart, and she finds Concubine Song's words harsh, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my vision and skills are not as good as that of an aunt who was born as a maid like you?" ?!"
