Chapter 580 Decentralization

For the next few days, Gongyi Kewen tried every means to please Yingchu, and every time she mentioned the matter of being in charge.Yingchu refused to let go at first, but then seemed to be moved by her behavior, and finally handed over the account books of several cloth houses to her and asked her to help check the accounts.

Gongyi Kewen happily returned with the account book in her hand, and within an hour, the news spread throughout the house. Many people said that Miss Thirteen's luck was good. Come one by one.It was also said that Miss Fourth was so generous that she was willing to give away even the money she held in her hand.

When the news reached the second room, the second lady was lecturing the two stewards about the kitchen purchases, and when she heard the maid's report, her already ugly face immediately became more gloomy.

"Get out of here and get the board!" The second lady scolded the two stewards, "I can't do such a small thing well! If there are any problems in the future, don't wait for me to find you, chop off your own hands and keep them." It also keeps you idle and not doing anything!"

"Yes, yes, I will do my job well in the future, and I will never make mistakes again!" The two stewards responded obediently, and retreated disheartenedly with their tails between their legs.

"A bunch of useless dogs!" The second lady scolded a few words, still not relieved, smashed all the tea sets on the table, and then said bitterly, "Why should I care about these trivial matters, Gongyi Keyi controls the financial power, and even distributes it to Gongyi Kewen, that sycophant! Master Hou is too partial, I am so conscientious and busy for the whole mansion, and he treats me like this!"

"Ma'am, keep your voice down," the servant girl hurriedly urged, "If the Marquis hears this, it will be terrible!"

The second lady said angrily: "He looks down on me so much, why should I be afraid that he will hear it! At worst, take back this bit of housekeeping power, thinking that I don't care about these trivial matters every day!"

"Who is looking down on you?" The second master came in from the door, saw the broken tiles, frowned, "What's the matter? Why are you so angry? Who made you unhappy?"

"Who else? What else can I be angry about?" The second lady saw the second master, and her resentment became heavier, "Master runs out every day, doesn't worry about everything at home, and doesn't know the difficulties of my concubine at home! In fact, I am in charge of the whole family, but I have to endure Aunt Qiong’s concubine telling me what to do. That’s not counting. Every needle and thread needs to be approved by the public! If you want to be obedient, you must For rewards, the money has to be paid by the concubine herself, I don’t know how much the monthly expenses will be!"

The more she talked, the angrier she became, and she slapped the table fiercely and said, "It's good that Gongyi can be concubine. He is in charge of the money bank and doesn't do anything, and even distributes the rights to Gongyi Kewen, that concubine! Master, see for yourself. What's it like? Money and power are in charge of the girls who haven't left the cabinet. As a serious daughter-in-law, I can only be pestered by some trivial matters! I don't know how many people in the whole house are watching the jokes about our second room !"

The second master glanced at the maid who was standing next to her, and the maid hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and took it out the door behind her.

Then the second master said: "I know you are angry, but I can't get involved in the affairs of the inner house. I go out every day to contact some colleagues and friends. Seeing that my father's health is getting worse and worse, I have to work hard Increase your own influence, otherwise how can you compete with your eldest brother for the right to inherit?"

"Master can't just keep his eyes on the outside, and he can't be careless about the affairs of the house!" The second lady said, "Look at that Gongyi Kewen, she has a lot of troubles in her mind. She used to coax the old lady into submission." She is obedient, and now she has coaxed even Gongyi Kejin to delegate power to her. I think she is more powerful than the former prostitutes of Dafang! If she really passes the selection by then, the fish Leaping over the dragon gate, the big house rises with the tide, how can the master compete with the big brother for the right to inherit!"

"It's not that serious, is it?" the second master said, "Girl Wen has a bit of a mind, but after all, she is an ignorant concubine. It is so easy to pass the selection. I think she will go through a process, and she will definitely be screened out." of."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case!" The second lady sternly said, "If you want to be completely at ease, it's best to let her lose her qualifications for selection, and even cut off her hope of getting married!"

The second master frowned and said: "Don't mess around, if things come to light, father will send you to the temple to think about your mistakes! Don't forget, father also promised us to intercede for Keshu if we have the opportunity, and let her go home Come on, if you annoy father, there will be no hope for this matter!"

"Master, don't worry, I don't want to do anything." The second lady sneered, "Recently, the weather is changing and people are most likely to get sick, especially those who are not clear-headed. It's not surprising that they get a serious illness or even die. thing."

On the other hand, Gongyi Kewen flipped through the ledger several times. In fact, she can't understand it, but it doesn't matter, she can learn, and soon she will be able to master everything, and then it's time for her to collect money!

There is not much time left for her, so Gongyi Kewen forgot to sleep and eat, and kept studying with the lamp on at night. Xiao Ai came to persuade her several times, but she refused to rest.

Gongyi Kewen struggled for two days and finally learned how to read accounts. However, before she had time to be happy, Xiao Ai came to report the bad news: "Miss, it's not good! The news just came that the lady has a high fever. In a coma, sick and unconscious!"

"What!" Gongyi Kewen was surprised, "When did it happen? Did the doctor invite you? Who is taking care of the eldest lady?"

Xiao Ai said: "My servant heard people say that the eldest lady ran to the yard alone last night and slept on the lawn all night. When the nanny found out in the morning, the eldest lady had already passed out with a high fever, and she couldn't wake up no matter how much she cried. , the situation looks very bad! Now I have sent someone to invite the doctor, and the doctor will be here in a while."

"Let's go, I'll go and see her!" Gongyi Kewen's face sank like water, "No accident will happen to her, nothing will happen to her!"

The draft is just around the corner, the eldest lady must not die, otherwise I will have to mourn for her for three years, not only will I miss this selection, but the future will also become unpredictable.Who knows what will happen in three years, I am no longer young at that time, where can I find a suitable good family!Maybe she will be sold casually by the old lady, and the one she married is not as good as Gongyi Kelan!

Gongyi Kewen came to the Buddhist hall quickly. Ever since Qi Guan's family also gave up on the eldest lady, the eldest lady was thrown into this small disused Buddhist hall, and there was only a nanny with handicapped legs to serve her.

She did all kinds of bad things in the past, and after coming here, people often came to take revenge on her. She was crazy, and she didn't know good or bad, and she didn't know how to resist when she was bullied. Only when she went crazy was she scarier.Fortunately, the Elder Master still wanted to save her life, so she was able to live until now.

When Gongyi Kewen arrived, the Eldest Master also came over, his expression was equally solemn, he also attached great importance to his daughter's draft, if Qi Guan's appearance happened at this juncture, it would be very bad .

"Father," Gongyi Kewen's eyes turned red instantly, and she said worriedly, "How is mother? Has the doctor come to see her?"

The old man shook his head: "I haven't woken up yet, the doctor won't arrive until a while."

"It's fine, why did my mother suddenly become ill?" Gongyi Kewen blamed herself, "It's all my daughter's fault. I have been busy helping my fourth sister with accounts these days, and neglected to take care of my mother. My mother is so seriously ill. , the daughter cannot escape the blame."

"How can I blame you, you are doing a good job," the old man's expression eased, this daughter's ability was beyond his expectation, and he was very satisfied with her being able to help the public to manage the accounts, " Your mother's illness is all due to lack of care by the servants, and I will punish you severely later!"

Gongyi Kewen said: "Father, my mother needs someone to take care of her when she is sick, and I am a little worried about letting the servants take care of her. Why don't you move her to my yard for a while?"

"How can this be possible?" the elder frowned. "It's not like you don't know about her madness. When she gets mad, she bites anyone. If she hurts you, it's not a trivial matter."

"Daughter will be careful," Gongyi Kewen said. She took two steps towards the elder and said in a low voice, "Daughter suspects that mother's illness is not accidental. If mother is left alone, she will be killed." None of us know."

The old man's eyes flashed brightly, he actually felt that Qi Guan's illness was strange, after thinking about it, he said: "Moving to your yard is definitely not acceptable, let her go back to live in the original yard, and I will send her a A few confidantes will take care of her, and will never let others have a chance to harm her!"

"That's fine, then I'll trouble my father." Gongyi Kewen said, asking the eldest lady to move in with her, but she was just talking casually, how could she really let a lunatic approach her.She has to find ways to get money recently, and she doesn't have time to look at the eldest lady. It would be great if her father offered to take care of the eldest lady.

The Eldest Master made up his mind and was about to carry him away immediately, when the Second Master and the Second Lady came in.

The second lady looked at the battle and asked in surprise: "Where is the elder brother taking the sister-in-law? Didn't the sister-in-law have a fever, she had to lie down on the bed, it was windy outside, how could she carry it outside. "

"The Buddhist hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not suitable for her to recuperate. I will take her back to take care of her for a few days." The elder said.

"Brother's words are wrong," said the second wife. "It was the old lady's decision to let my sister-in-law live in the Buddhist hall. The elder brother also agreed at that time. How can you say that if you take people away, you will take them away. Brother, take action." Before, you should always ask the old lady what she means, after all, the elder brother is not the one who is in charge of the family!"

The old man's face darkened, and he said: "At that time, Qi Guan was allowed to live here because she was afraid that her madness would hurt people, but she didn't want her to die here! Qi Guan is very sick now, I have to take her back If mother comes back, if she punishes her, I will bear it with all my strength!"

The second lady laughed and said: "Brother is not afraid of being punished by the old lady, but I am very afraid. Before the old lady leaves, I will take charge of everything in the house, and I will be obliged to maintain the order of the old lady. Unless the eldest brother I can get the approval of the old lady, otherwise I would not dare to let my sister-in-law out, or if something happens to my sister-in-law's madness, I can't bear it."
