Chapter 9
Jin Xi had a serious bump this time, with symptoms of a mild concussion. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou hired a famous doctor this time. After drinking a few medicines and lying down for a few days, only skin trauma remained.The internal medicine is halved, and the external medicine is still changed every other day.While changing the dressing, Jin Xi carefully checked the bronze mirror a few times, and it was estimated that there would not be too obvious scars, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no such thing as plastic surgery these days, and it is really scarred. In the future, if you don't marry a one-eyed dragon, you will only be able to marry long and short legs. Then she can't even cry.

During these days when Jinxi nestled in Xuefeng Pavilion to recuperate, the three sisters from the first room came to see her every two days, but none of the girls from the second room came.Only Mama Liu, the nanny of Jinwen, the fourth girl who was recovering from illness in Zhuangzi, got the letter when she returned home to get the monthly prescription. She deliberately abducted her and sat there for a while. body.

Jinxiu didn't come to see her because she was guilty, or she might be dismissive of her silly little sister who was a concubine.The concubine daughters of the second room only look forward to Jinxiu, so it is reasonable not to come.The three Dafang sisters came to see her frequently, but Jinxi was puzzled.

Jin Jue always looks like an unattainable fairy, but she treats everyone like that, and it's not against her in particular.Jin Ling is also habitually inquisitive, and Jin Yue has always been a good person, so I don't see any special intentions in them. Could it be that they are really brotherly?
Pooh!Sure enough, she couldn't be distracted while practicing calligraphy, so Jin Xi put down the pen in her hand, looked helplessly at the handwriting with chicken feet, crumpled it up and threw it into the waste paper.Seeing a bag full of waste paper, Qing Xing, who was serving next to her, quickly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of warm honey water and handed it to Jin Xi, "The old lady doesn't let the girl go out because she is afraid that the girl's wound will get wet. Xu Luo has a scar, the girl can bear it for a few more days, and after a hundred days, she will be able to go out and catch up."

"I don't want to go out." Jin Xi took a sip of the honey water, put down the cup and continued to destroy the paper.In the early spring, the catkins are all over the sky, even if Mrs. Zhou didn't give her orders, she would not go out at the risk of wound infection.In the era when a cold could kill a person, if you get tetanus, you will die!

"Yo! Tsk tsk tsk, the word sixth girl...is not as good as fifth young master!" Mama Gu came in through the curtain and stood carelessly in front of the desk, commenting on Jinxi's words.The pearl guarding outside the house was one of the two maids who cursed Jinxi for her early death a few days ago. At this time, instead of coming in according to the rules to stop Mama Gu, she raised the curtain to watch the fun.

The men and women of the Zhou family are ranked separately. The fifth young master is Zhou Boyan, who was born to the second bedroom and the second aunt. He was officially enlightened two months ago when he just turned four years old.Jin Xi's handwriting is indeed not good, but it is obviously ironic to say that she is not as good as Qing Yan.

Qingxing's face was flushed red, as if Gu's mother was mocking her.Jin Xi's face was full of joy, and he held his chest and let out a long breath, "Fortunately, I don't have to go to school, or I would have been beaten to death by my husband!"

Mama Gu hit the cotton with her fist and almost suffered internal injuries. After grinding her molars a few times, she scolded a fool secretly, took out a ledger from her sleeve, and threw it directly in front of Jinxi, "The old slave is getting old, and his brain is too old. I can't manage the account if I'm confused, please ask Gao Ming for the money expenses in our courtyard in the future!"

The ledger was smashed onto the inkstone, and the half-worn and yellowed moon-white satin pipa lapel jacket was immediately splashed with a string of small black spots, which quickly faded away. Qing Xing hurried to the clean room to get a cloth towel for Jin Xi to wipe. The rubbing became dizzy, the ink dots turned into black marks, and the clothes were completely unwearable. She was anxious and angry, "Mom, what are you doing? Girl, this is the only dress that can be worn, and the rest are either too small or torn." , What do you let the girl wear if it gets dirty?"

"You little hoof, you dare to point at my mother and scold me after eating a bear's heart? It seems that the beating is still light at ordinary times, this time my mother let you..." Mama Gu raised her eyes, and slapped Qing Xing with her hands.

A black thing flew towards Gu Ma, but when he raised his hand to block it, the water from the brush washer splashed all over her body.Mama Gu wiped her face and was about to scold, but she saw Jin Xi slowly put the brush back on the desk, picked up the ledger and stared at her with a sneer, "I will hand over the account, I will send someone to deliver it to you after checking it out. I don’t care about you if you’re short of a penny, if it’s much worse, you won’t be able to keep your old face. If you have time to play wild here, you’d better go back and spend your money!”

It feels like Jinxi's eyes are like ice floes in a winter pond, extremely bright and sharp, enveloping her in a surge.There was a chill between her brows and eyes that didn't match her age, and her dark eyes seemed to be a mass of thick, insoluble ink, which could see through her from head to toe.As a result, this face had a sharp and cold taste out of thin air, which made people dare not look directly at it.

Suddenly remembering the rumors about Jinxi being possessed by a ghost, Mama Gu subconsciously took two steps back, steadied herself and then looked up, only to see a silly little face.After two months of raising her, Jinxi's palm-sized face gradually became rounder, her skin was translucent, her forehead was full, her nose was straight, her small mouth was pink, she looked cute at Yuxue, but she always had a careless expression on her face. The smirk of the lungs does not look smart.

It turned out that she was delusional!Gu Mama secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still murmured in her heart.After going out and standing in the sun for a long time, the chill in my heart was gone.

Mama Ai went to Pine Age Hall to greet the old lady back for Jinxi, and when she heard that Mama Gu was going to pick a pick, her anxious tone changed. "What should we do? Mama Gu is the mother in charge sent by the Da Furen. If she makes such a fuss, outsiders will definitely say that the girl has no elders, and the girl's reputation will be ruined!"

Jin Xi didn't take it seriously, and continued to write her ghost painting talisman, "According to mother, I will let the slaves bully my reputation?"

"But... no one in our yard knows how to settle accounts except Mama Gu!" Ai's mother looked annoyed. If she had known this, she should have stopped the girl and should not have interfered with the income and expenditure accounts in the yard.These years have not been asked, but I have lived well, why do I have to tear my face?
Jin Xi almost vomited blood because of Mama Ai's steamed bun mentality, so she took a few mouthfuls of cold water before resisting the urge to scratch the wall, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Mama Ai's face instantly turned from red to white, and then from white to green. Seeing Mama Ai staring at Jinxi like a ghost, Qing Xing hurried forward and tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Mom...why do you look at the girl like this?" Woolen cloth?"

"No...it's nothing!" Ai's mother hurriedly lowered her head, gritted her teeth for a long time and suddenly shook her head, "Girl, think again, this is not going to happen!"

"Then wait for me to be beaten to death!" Jin Xi angrily threw the pen in his hand on the table, seeing the words just written into a mess, the circles of his eyes turned red little by little. "If I had a mother, I wouldn't be bullied! If I had the ability, you and Qingxing wouldn't let a foreign servant bully me. In the winter, I asked Qingxing to wash her clothes with cold water. Her hands were so cold that her skin was broken." Said, and said that Qing Xing will not be eaten until it is cleaned. In front of outsiders, Qing Xing was beaten to pieces, and your family heirloom will not be taken away. It is the dowry you left for Qing Xing... Woo Woooo...it's all my useless..."

These words are no less than steel needles being pierced in Ai's mother's heart, and tears can't help but fall down.Covering her mouth with her sleeve and crying silently for a long time, she suddenly knelt down in front of Jin Xi, "Auntie is kind to this old slave, she will do whatever she says, and this old slave will do it now!"

Qing Xing stared blankly at Ai's mother kowtow to Jin Xi, not knowing what Jin Xi wanted her mother to do, she didn't dare to ask more questions because of her posture.When Jinxi gave her a piece of paper in the evening and asked her to find a chance to hide in Mama Gu's room, she seemed to understand a little bit, and her whole body trembled with excitement.The old godmother will make you look good this time!
A thin account, Jinxi has not finished calculating for four days, Mama Gu still had some scruples, but seeing her like this immediately regained her spirits, one day she said she had a headache and the next day she said her legs hurt, and she went to Jinxi every day to make a fuss. Walk.

Jin Xi looked timid, and Mama Gu was sure that she didn't dare to do anything to herself. She was sitting on a black lacquered flat-headed official hat chair, patting her thighs and crying and howling to list her achievements over the years. Qing Xing suddenly led the old lady Nanny Zhou and the housekeeper's wife Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law barged in.

Mama Gu was taken aback and jumped down from the chair. Before she could speak, Nanny Zhou gave her a vicious look, "What a bold slave, I let you work in the Sixth Girl's Courtyard because you are so honest. Mother in charge, I didn't expect you to use the face given by the master to take advantage of the sixth girl! Take it away!"

"The old slave didn't do such a bad thing, and I beg the masters to investigate clearly. These years of serving the sixth girl, there is no credit but hard work." A few thick women grabbed her arm when they came up, and Mama Gu was very frightened. Arguing with a white face, while talking, he gave Zhu Yong's wife a wink.

Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law secretly scolded her for being an idiot, she couldn't even look down on a fool, and Qing Xing actually sued the old lady in front of the second wife's uncle and wife.I'll embarrass the eldest lady, and I'll have the heart to pick you up, and I don't care about your credit and hard work!
The women who followed dragged Mama Gu out like wolves, but Jin Xi blocked their way, "Wait a minute, I don't care if you take Mama Gu away, but first you have to account for the accounts in my courtyard." Be clear. Otherwise, if there is chaos in the future, who do I turn to? If the people behind make a mistake and gossip about Mama Gu, if it spreads, people will say that I have neglected my aunt, and I dare not bear the charge!"

The six or seven-year-old girl from other people's family has already started to learn how to be a housekeeper from the nanny, so it is not surprising that she can speak so clearly.When Jin Xi said this, everyone was extremely surprised. This little idiot is actually enlightened?

"This is the account book. I don't accept it. The housekeeper will check it for me!" Ignoring the stunned crowd, Jin Xi took out the account book and handed it to Zhu Yong's wife.

Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law works under the eldest lady, and she is in charge of the accounts of the entire Zhou family.There were only seven people in Xuefeng Pavilion, and she only had to look through the small account of the monthly payment before she knew it.Looking at the plain but full of loopholes in the accounts on the surface, he secretly scolded Mama Gu for committing suicide and ruining the eldest lady's affairs.

She rolled her eyes, handed the account book to Nanny Zhou and said with a smile, "You've never been too old!"

"I don't know how to account!" Mother Zhou is old and mature, so she had to go this way, how could she take the initiative to offend the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "If the account is not accounted for, as long as it can match the money. Find the money first For Miss Six's nanny, the eldest lady will make her own arrangements later on."

Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law nodded again and again, and immediately two women ran to Mama Gu's house to rummage through boxes and cabinets. In the blink of an eye, they found a bag of loose silver, and a bag of candles, hair oil, needles and threads that they had secretly saved.

Glancing at the miscellaneous tatters, Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law secretly scolded Mama Gu for being worthless, and handed the account book, broken silver, and the package to Mama Ai with a smile, "There are still 40 taels of silver in the account, all here Well, you also put away the extra things for the girl!"

The account is only her monthly money, where are the rewards from the elders in each house during the holidays, where are the clothes and fabrics that she should get according to the season?Jin Xi secretly rolled his eyes, but for the sake of the overall situation, he suppressed his voice.

Ai's mother took the things nonchalantly, flipped through them, and suddenly pulled out two pieces of paper, and asked, "What is this?"

Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law glanced back, the expression on her face changed suddenly, Nanny Zhou felt puzzled, she walked over to take the two pieces of paper from Mama Ai's hand, glanced at them, then stared at Mama Gu with gritted teeth and said: "Bold and slavish!" How dare you steal and sell your master's jewelry?"

Like five thunderbolts, Mama Gu's face turned blue with fright. The crime of disrespecting the master can be big or small, and there is no fixed standard. When it gets too big, outsiders will say that Jinxi doesn't respect the elders. Mama Gu is not very worried about this. But stealing and selling the master's property is a capital offense.

"Nothing! The old slave didn't..."

"I lost my jewellery?" Jin Xi turned around in a daze and shouted, "Sister Pearl, bring me the jewellery box."

Jinxi didn't have much jewelry, only a few silk flowers and two small silver hairpins, all of which were on the tent, and Gu Mama let out a sigh of relief.But Qing Xing suddenly called out, "Would the second madam give you that pair of pearl hairpins made of curly grass and rice?"

"Really? Where is the gift from my mother?" Qing Xing called out, and it was only then that Jinxi remembered that the gift from the second lady had disappeared the day the table was ordered.As soon as his face turned pale, tears fell, and he held Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law tightly and cried: "What can I do? What can I do? If I lose my mother, I will be angry!"

"Miss, don't worry, this pair of hairpins is on the old slave!" Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law coaxed Jin Xi to be well, then turned her head and gave Gu Mama a vicious look. "How do you redeem it? If you don't redeem it, you will pay with your life!"

"This old slave never did such a thing..." Mother Gu was so frightened that the three souls left and the seven souls left, she howled with snot and tears, and suddenly turned around and pointed at Jin Xi: "It was the sixth girl who ordered Ai Po What I did was to frame this old slave!"

Zhu Yong's daughter-in-law didn't come up in one breath, and slapped Mama Gu a few times.Mama Gu was so dizzy from the beating that she accidentally bit her tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood, and the second half of her speech was a fool and a fool. If these two people can plot against you, what use are you?

"Take it away!" Mother Zhou ordered, and suddenly a group of people left Xuefeng Pavilion like a flood.Not only the ancient mother was taken away, but also the pearls of the jewelry were taken away.Apart from a few women doing rough work, only Qing Xing and Ai Mama were left in the yard.

Mother Ai hugged the bag of things, and asked Jinxi like a dream, "Will Da Furen put Gu Mama back?"

"No!" Jin Xi was very sure, if she could be released in this way, she would take the risk in vain, and let Qing Xing file a complaint when she picked the second lady's natal family to come.

But apart from the thorn in Gu Mama's side, the eldest lady has to take revenge!

Looking at Mama Ai's face full of joy, Jin Xi swallowed the reminder.Secretly praying for God's blessing, the second lady must seize this opportunity and fight the eldest lady!
 Today is so punctual, hee hee:) Praise~~~~~~
