The concubine of the famous family is very evil.

Chapter 124

"But mother and concubine have something to do with Jinniang?" Jinniang deliberately avoided talking about it. It's better to put things like checking accounts on the table. Talking in private will make people suspicious. I originally wanted to use it as a warning Those over-thinking people in the princess's courtyard, those who are greedy and inaction, should put their minds to rest as soon as possible, and do their jobs well. Moreover, she also gave them a two-day buffer period. They need to do something, of course It should have been done a long time ago, and it can be regarded as giving Wang Mama all face.

Mama Wang's face froze, her anxious eyes faded slightly, and she said: "The princess is taking a nap, and this servant came to look for the second young lady by herself, not... the princess' intention."

Jinniang's face turned tired, and she smiled, "Mom has something to do, just tell me." As she said that, she inadvertently stretched out her hand and hammered her waist, "I just saw Princess Ning at the second wife's place. After a while, I feel a little hungry, and I don’t know if my husband has eaten yet.”

Mama Wang was about to speak, but she backed away and looked at Jinniang in embarrassment, neither retreating nor entering, Jinniang said when she saw her, "Why don't you go to Jinniang's courtyard, how about some food? The weather in Laoshizi is really cold."

After hearing this, Mama Wang couldn't say anything more, she forced a smile on her face, and said, "Yes, it's getting cold, young mistress, go back to the house quickly, don't freeze."

Jinniang nodded, and took Si'er to continue forward. After walking a few steps, Mama Wang chased after her again. She swept away her previous hesitation and said as if she mustered up her courage: "Second Young Mistress, please Help the slaves."

Jinniang looked at her seriously, since she insisted on piercing the window paper, shouldn't she save face for her?

"Mother Wang is serious. If Mom is doing it for the account book, I think you don't have to say it anymore. You should know that Jinniang has given you time. If it is still difficult to deal with it, then I can only say that you are too sorry for the concubine mother." I trust you." Jinniang looked at Mama Wang with a look of pity. A servant with status in the mansion like Mama Wang has a very high monthly rate, reaching ten taels of silver a month. Jinniang is a serious young mistress. It's only 50 taels of silver, plus the rewards that the princess gives to Mama Wang on weekdays, because she is the closest person to the princess, and all kinds of guests in the mansion donate gifts, and the subordinates give gifts. The monthly income is very considerable, but If she wants to be greedy for ink, it is really unreasonable.

Madam Wang's face was flushed when she heard this, her eyes were full of shame, she lowered her head slightly, and said after a while, "Second young mistress, this servant knows that you have already helped this servant, but what this servant asks is not the one in the account. thing, but..."

Jinniang was not surprised when she heard that, it wasn't about the accounts, so what was it?It hasn't been long since I came to the mansion. I don't hold power and don't care about things. It's not even as useful as Madam Wang's speaking in the mansion. What can I help her?

"If it's not about the account book, Jinniang will do her best to help Wang Mama." Jin Niang calmed down, smiled and said to Wang Mama, the account book is too sensitive, and it also involves the management of the princess's courtyard. , Prince Jane's mansion is so big, and the princess is the person in charge of the family. If even a small kitchen has a big financial problem, you can know the whole mansion by looking at one room. The inside has long been corrupted and festered, and if things go on like this, even if Wang Ta manages to make money outside, he can still cover the consumption of the courtyard. One day, he will be unable to make ends meet and eventually go bankrupt.

Therefore, Jinniang started from the little kitchen of the princess, and tried her best to help the princess to make some reforms, investigate and deal with some people who are greedy for ink, kill a few monkeys, and scare the chicks. Speed ​​is also good.

Seeing Jinniang let go, Mother Wang felt a little relieved, hesitated for a while before saying: "Young Mistress, this servant also knows that this servant is ashamed of her trust in the princess, but this time, this servant really didn't do that shameful thing, it's just that this servant did something wrong. Sister-in-law... is the Liu family in the kitchen, she's probably..."

So that's the case, isn't that the same?Mrs. Liu has long been suspected. She is in charge of the kitchen, and she reported all the expenses in the kitchen. What I saw that day was a lot of waste of ingredients, and baskets of dry goods such as fungus and mushrooms were broken. , There are also countless meats. Since they are bought, the princes and concubines can't eat them, so where can they go?Are they really going to watch it break?I'm afraid I'll take out the house again and sell it for money.

Thinking of this, Jinniang couldn't help but sneered and said: "Mother Wang, what you said is still about the account books. Since Mrs. Liu is in charge of the kitchen, she must be the first to check the accounts. Now you are here to do it for me." She begged for mercy, how could Jinniang continue to investigate? You said just now that you were ashamed of your trust in the concubine, and now you are here to plead for your sister-in-law, this is too contradictory."

Mother Wang murmured for a long time without making a sound, with a face of shame, Jinniang shook her head and said: "If you are for Liu, then Jinniang can only say that there is nothing you can do!" She made up her mind to help the princess, then You can't give up for the sake of one or two people's face. After all, Prince Jane's Mansion is also her future home, and she still needs to rely on it to live a life of rice worms. Only when Prince Jane's Mansion is prosperous can she live a comfortable life, right? ?
Disappointment appeared in Wang Mama's eyes, her face turned red and then paled, she saluted Jinniang, then turned and left.

Jinniang sighed behind her, shook her head and went back to her yard, Leng Huating went to the study, Jinniang was numb from the cold outside, and sat down by the brazier as soon as she entered the room, Xiugu took She picked up a marble to help her play, and she was covered in ashes, with a gloomy expression on her face.

Jinniang stretched out her hand to warm the fire, and Si'er came back with her. Naturally, her hands and feet were cold, but she didn't immediately surround the fire, but went to the back to make tea for Jinniang. Feng'er smiled and said : "Sister Si'er, just rest, I'll do it."

Si'er just smiled and sat down next to Jin Niang. When Xiu Gu saw her, she relaxed her eyebrows which were originally tightly frowned. She took her hands and rubbed them affectionately, but said in her mouth: "It's the same with you girl. The young mistress is standing outside freezing. If you don't persuade me, you foolishly follow the freezing. Look at it now, your hands are almost freezing."

Si'er smiled and retracted her hand. Recently, Xiugu was too enthusiastic towards her, which made her feel uncomfortable. When she was in the Sun Mansion, Ping'er had a good relationship with her. Although Xiugu was kind to them, she didn't Not very close, now that Ping'er...is about to leave, but Xiugu suddenly became enthusiastic, she is not a fool, she has met Xiugu's son before, he is honest, but she just looks at him If it doesn't fit, Xiugu will become a shavehead, with hot hair. Xiugu didn't say it clearly, so she couldn't refuse directly, but she wisely kept her distance, so as not to make it difficult to talk in the future.
