Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

Moreover, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai were also happy to see Sheng Changfeng following Wei Chen, hoping that Wei Chen could guide him to study hard and make progress every day.

Looking at the Buddha without looking at the monk, Sheng Changbai begged Wei Chen for the rare time. Wei Chen had no choice but to keep Sheng Changfeng by his side for the sake of his friend.

However, Wei Chen was a little curious. Sheng Changfeng was so close to him, so why was there no reaction from Lin Sushuang?

Forest Pavilion.

In the warm spring-like main room, Lin Sushuang was half-leaning on the soft couch, intently looking at the account book delivered today.

At this time, Zhou Xueniang, the personal maid, suddenly ran in and reported: "Miss, Brother Feng went to the west wing again!"

"what?"

Lin Sushuang threw the account book on the couch, straightened up and asked: "How many times have I told you not to let him go? If you don't let him go, you don't know how to stop him?"

"I want to stop you, but I can't!" Zhou Xueniang looked aggrieved: "When Brother Feng opens his mouth, he will do whatever the master wants. This slave is just a servant, how can he dare to stop him?"

"This bastard, those who don't know better think he came out of the belly of that bitch from Qinyun Yuan!"

Lin Sushuang was so upset that she slapped the table with her palm, causing the tea set on the table to jingle.

Speaking of which, on the day of the poetry meeting, the reason why Sheng Changfeng went to look for Wei Chen was because Lin Sushuang was instigating it behind his back.

Qinyun Court suddenly gained so many people, and Wei Shuyi suddenly became generous. In the final analysis, it was all related to Wei Chen.

Lin Sushuang knew very little about Wei Chen, so she wanted her son to find an opportunity to find out about Wei Chen.

Who would have known that Sheng Changfeng went out for a trip and didn't bring back any information without telling him. He actually surrendered to the enemy and obeyed Wei Chen's words, not even listening to what her own mother said.

What's even worse is that after the poetry meeting, Wei Chen's weight in Sheng Hong's heart became more and more important, and Sheng Hong was also happy to see Sheng Changfeng and Wei Chen getting along well.

Every time Lin Sushuang stopped Sheng Changfeng from looking for Wei Chen, Sheng Changfeng would lift Sheng Hong out and press her down, leaving Lin Sushuang speechless.

After all, Sheng Changfeng is the son of the Sheng family, unlike Mo Lan, the daughter.

No matter how much Sheng Hong dotes on Lin Sushuang, he still has a certain limit. There is no way he would hand over the control of his son to a concubine.

In other words, Lin Sushuang actually had no say in Sheng Changfeng's discipline, and Sheng Hong made the final decision.

Now that Sheng Hong valued Wei Chen and wanted Sheng Changfeng to get closer to Wei Chen, Lin Sushuang could only let it go no matter how reluctant she was.

It was the same today. Seeing her incompetent and stupid son running to the west wing where Wei Chen lived, Lin Sushuang hated the iron in her heart, but she had no choice but to stay bored in the yard. A gloomy face.

Zhou Xueniang quietly glanced at Lin Sushuang's face and said cautiously: "My dear, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"The situation in Qinyun Yuan has changed drastically. Our previous plans will definitely fail. I still need you to make an idea about the next step."

"Qinyun Courtyard, Wei Shuyi..."

Hearing Zhou Xueniang mention this matter, Lin Sushuang rubbed her brows and felt a headache again.

It turned out that Lin Sushuang had already made a plan. First, she used the power of the housekeeper to deliberately reduce the expenses of Qinyun Court, which caused the people in Qinyun Court to be divided.

Then, he found the remaining loyal servants around Wei Shuyi and put them in his own hands.

In this way, the whole Qinyun Courtyard was in Lin Sushuang's hands, and the life and death of Wei Shuyi and the child in her belly were at her mercy.

But as soon as Wei Chen arrived, Lin Sushuang's plan was immediately disrupted.

Now that Wei Shuyi had enough manpower around him to guard Qinyun Courtyard airtight, Lin Sushuang wanted to deal with her, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.

Chapter 91

The next day, early in the morning.

Qinyun Courtyard.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao, who were responsible for guarding the door, each held a round dumpling and sat at the door of the courtyard, chatting about home affairs.

Suddenly they saw a person coming from a distance. The two women quickly stopped talking, dusted off their clothes, and stood up.

When the person came closer, the two women who were waiting for her saw her face clearly, and their minds relaxed. They sat back on the round pier, smiled and said hello to the person: "It turns out to be Mrs. Guan, where is it?" Did the gust of wind bring you here?"

Lady Guan walked closer with a food box and said with a smile: "The kitchen has made a lot of breakfast today. The masters have used it up, and there are still a lot of pastries left. They are all good things and cannot be wasted. I thought The two sisters worked hard on duty, so I brought it to you specially."

With that said, Lady Guan opened the food box and found a plate of red jujube cake, a plate of purple yam cake, and a plate of frosted millet cake, all of which were steaming hot and overflowing with sweet fragrance.

"So many!"

When Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao saw such a sumptuous meal, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.

This lady was originally in charge of the kitchen of the Sheng family. She wandered to the entrance of Qinyun Courtyard a few days ago and chatted for a long time with the two gatekeepers in a very familiar manner.

After that, Lady Guan regarded herself as their best friend. She was in charge of the Sheng family's kitchen and had plenty of oil and water. She would always bring some good things from the kitchen to share with the two of them.

Although Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao both felt a little confused, they were still servants who made a living in a house. They usually didn't look up when they looked down, and people hugged them with warm faces. It was hard to drive them away without any reason.

Therefore, facing Madam Guan's enthusiasm, both of them dealt with it politely.

After all, they are all servants, and they have a lot of topics in common with each other, and one of them intends to blend in and please them. After going back and forth, they gradually become familiar with each other.

However, on weekdays, Mrs. Guan would only come over with a bag of snacks and fruits, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao would just eat them as snacks, without any psychological burden.

Not only did they solemnly take out the food box today, but the food inside was so rich that it was almost the same size as what the masters ate. Although Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao were drooling after seeing it, they were a little afraid to start.

Seeing the two of them sitting still, Mrs. Guan secretly laughed in her heart: These idiots from the countryside are short-sighted and timid and cannot achieve great things.

So in front of the two of them, he grabbed a piece of millet cake and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he greeted the two of them: "It's okay, just eat it. It's all leftovers from the masters. It's a waste to put it away." , entering our stomach is better than feeding it to animals!"

When Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao saw this, they both smiled broadly. They wrapped their hands in their coats and wiped them randomly. Then they hurriedly grabbed the hot pastries and started eating them. In a short time, they destroyed several plates of pastries.

Mrs. Li patted her belly, feeling a little unsatisfied. She suddenly thought that these rare delicacies to them were just Mrs. Guan's daily life. She couldn't help but envy: "Sister Guan is lucky. She is in charge of the kitchen, so the whole family has no worries about food and drink."

"Everywhere, Miss Lin is the one who promotes me, otherwise I might still be lighting a fire under the stove!"

Lady Guan smiled and waved her hand

, then Zhuangruo said unintentionally: "You two sisters, don't you know that anyone who helps Lin Qige is promoted very quickly, not to mention that they can get an extra monthly salary from Miss Lin every month!"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao both asked curiously: "How much subsidy does Miss Lin give you every month?"

Madam Guan smiled and said: "I am in charge of the kitchen, and my monthly salary is the same as that of a second-class female envoy, which is six cents. Miss Lin will subsidize me with an additional four cents, so I can make up one tael."

"One tael of silver!" Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao made surprised sounds.

In the Sheng family, the female servants are divided into three, six or nine grades. The first-class female servants earn one tael per month, the second-class female servants earn six qian per month, and the third-class female servants and coarse maids earn three qian per month.

Of course, this is just the public account of the family. The owners of different courtyards will provide additional subsidies to the servants in the courtyard to varying degrees depending on their financial resources.

Qinyunyuan had the weakest financial resources in the past, so it naturally suffered the most in this respect. The few servants to begin with were all corrupted and bribed by Lin Sushuang one by one. Only Xiaodie, who was left with only one muscle, was still guarding Wei Shuyi. around.

Nowadays, Qinyun Courtyard has a large number of new people. Lin Sushuang's tentacles that reached into Qinyun Courtyard were all cut off. For a moment, she had no idea where to start, so she thought of using inducements to defeat them one by one as usual.

After several trials, Mrs. Guan, who was responsible for the specific implementation, finally decided to start with the two most stupid-looking janitors in front of her.

First, he would strike up a conversation in a familiar manner, and then use some small favors to further win his favor. Then he would use himself as an example to promote the benefits of working for Lin Qige to the other party, making the other party envious and itchy.

Then, as long as Lady Guan twitches her fingers, the other party will eagerly fall into Lin Qige's arms.

Seeing that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao were already in the urn, Mrs. Guan smiled even more proudly: "The two sisters currently only have three yuan a month. If they help Lin Qige with work, I will also supplement three yuan, six yuan a month. This is a normal second-class woman." It’s a monthly routine!”

Mrs. Guan was beaming as she spoke, and her saliva was flying, but Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao secretly curled their lips.

Their whole family, young and old, was working under the hands of the Youyang Sheng family's eldest son, and Sheng Wei's task for them was to serve Wei Shuyi peacefully in Qinyun Courtyard.

Therefore, no matter how much money they could get from doing things for Lin Qige, they would not do it.

They had deliberately acted surprised just now, just to tease Madam Guan to continue talking and to hear what kind of conditions the wealthy Lin Qige could offer them.Even if you can’t go there by yourself, it’s still fun to hear something new!

As a result, six dollars a month...

Isn’t this just a shabby person?

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao don't know what the Qinyun Court was like in the past. In today's Qinyun Court, the third-class female envoys and rough envoys each receive a subsidy of one tael of silver per month, and other miscellaneous benefits are added. It must be worth five denarii to get up.

In other words, Granny Li and Granny Zhao's monthly salary alone is enough to earn one, two or three taels of silver (plus the normal three taels per month), and they also have many benefits, which are more generous than Madam Guan's life.

Madam Guan just wanted to impress them with her monthly salary of six taels of silver, which was simply a fool's errand.

Speaking of which, Lady Guan confidently offered the conditions to the two of them. I thought that after hearing such a generous offer, the two people who had never seen the world would definitely have their eyes lit up and they would bow down.

As a result, looking back, they both showed a lack of interest, and Lady Guan was immediately confused.

The script is wrong!

"Sisters, did you hear clearly, this is six cents a month?" Lady Guan asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I heard it clearly, it's good."

"You are not moved?"

"..."

"..."

"Sister Guan, we've finished breakfast. If you have nothing else to do, go back first." Mrs. Li yawned lazily and sat back on the round pillar in a daze.

Madam Guan was dejected, packed up the food boxes on the floor, and was about to leave when she was stopped by Mrs. Zhao again.

"Sister Guan!"

Lady Guan was overjoyed, turned around quickly, and said expectantly: "Sister, do you have something to say to me?"

Mrs. Zhao scratched her head and said shyly: "The snacks my sister brought this time are quite delicious. If you have something delicious next time, don't forget to bring them!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely not forget the two sisters." Mrs. Guan forced a smile, turned around and left quickly.

When he reached a deserted place, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore and threw the food box to the ground.

"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. If I feed you such heartless things, I might as well feed them to animals!"

Chapter 92 The hired ship arrives

Mrs. Li was sitting at the door of the courtyard. When she saw Mrs. Guan walking away, she called a boy to help guard the door for a while, while she and Mrs. Zhao went into the courtyard to report today's events to Bai Zhi.

Wei Shuyi was physically handicapped, Banxia served her closely, Xiaodie took care of Minglan's daily life, and now Bai Zhi was the housekeeper of Qinyun Court, taking charge of about ten people.

When Bai Zhi came to Yangzhou Shengfu, the first thing he did was to inquire around and understand the intricate relationship between the various courtyards in the mansion.

This was not the first time that Lin Sushuang secretly sent people to spy on the servants of Qinyun Court. Bai Zhi also felt that the people in Qinyun Court were floating, and he felt quite uneasy.

This time he heard that Lin Sushuang had failed to send people to win people's hearts. Bai Zhi thought it was a good opportunity. After asking Wei Shu for permission, he summoned everyone in the courtyard and asked Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao to speak out in front of everyone.
