daily life

Chapter 279

The imperial physician came to check the pulse and prescribed a prescription.Ning personally directed the servant girl to decoct the medicine, and returned to the East Mansion after having lunch here.

Back in the room, Biyu laughed and said: "A few of the mothers in charge didn't immediately follow the orders of the Fourth Madam after the incident. They're all right now, and they're still standing in the flower hall, without food."

"Oh?" Ning laughed, "What's going on? Tell me about it."

Biyu told the story in detail.

Ning's smile grew stronger, "Those people are like that, don't they argue with me sometimes? I can't wait to give them a slap in the face every time. Now it's embarrassing for the fourth daughter-in-law again, it's okay, let's just Don't know."

Biyu nodded with a smile.

Xiang Zhixuan took a nap, got up to wash up, changed her clothes, and went to the flower hall refreshed, and continued to hang those people in the air, letting others worry about it.

Mama Xie from the kitchen was the first to come forward and report to Xiang Zhixuan the expenses in the kitchen last month.

There are a few things that do not match the expenses. It is obvious that the comprador of the kitchen has been greedy for some money and has not yet settled the account.

The comprador is a relative of Xie's mother. Xiang Zhixuan knew this a long time ago. Thinking about her mother-in-law's handling method, she said bluntly: "There is a mistake in the account, take it back and take a closer look. Who made the mistake, you will Let someone make up for the silver that is owed."

Unexpectedly, Mother Xie said: "No, the last account, a few taels of silver was paid to Gongzhong in the kitchen, and this account included those few taels of silver. Ma'am, let me give it to you." Let’s do the math..." He talked about what happened in the twelfth lunar month of last year.

Xiang Zhixuan pursed her lips slightly, and looked at Mama Xie quietly.The eyes that were clear and bright like autumn water gradually became as cold as frost and snow.

Mama Xie is not a dull person, inexplicably feeling the cool wind whizzing down her back, she quickly glanced at Xiang Zhixuan, seeing the look in the eyes of the person in front of her, she couldn't speak smoothly, and then she fell silent.

Xiang Zhixuan rubbed her chin and said, "Keep talking."

Xie Mama hurriedly said: "I know I was wrong, I will go back now..."

"No need." Xiangzhi closed the account book, her voice was calm, "I replaced the cheap comprador in the kitchen. If you still have objections, you intend to cover—"

"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Mother Xie bowed her knees and saluted, "I will go back now."

"En." Xiang Zhixuan watched Xie's mother tiptoe out, and let out a soft breath.She didn't want to play the trick of three fires when a new official takes office, but these people forced her to do so.

It's like killing a chicken for a monkey to watch. If the one that jumps out gets eaten up, the others will be honest.

After that it was smooth sailing.

After all the matters at hand were dealt with, there were only those few people left in the hall.

Xiang Zhixuan seemed to have completely forgotten about them, and got up to leave.

Those few people couldn't hold it anymore, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and admit their mistakes, wishing they could kneel and kowtow.

Xiangzhixuan put it away when she was done, and waved them down, doing whatever she was supposed to be busy with.But I feel very boring in my heart: why does she have to show her face to others?Is that interesting?I don't know what these people think.

When returning to Qingfeng Pavilion, a young servant ran over and said: "Fourth Madam, the old lady invites you to the study yard."

Xiangzhi twitched the corner of her mouth.Speaking of which, she hasn't dealt with that father-in-law in a serious way, and she hasn't said a few words.He ordered someone to call her over, but I hope nothing happened again.

She nodded in response, and told Qiangwei: "Go to the front yard and call Zhao He over." In case of any unexpected situation, he can replace Xi Lang and help her make up an idea in time.This is what Xi Lang told her long ago.
