Chapter 116: Incident
If you want to donate an official position, and if you want to donate an official with a real job, the cost required is several times that of a false official title. Even if Granny Zhang is a close confidant of the old lady, she usually rewards a lot. Even though her husband is in charge of a very powerful
It’s a big money-making shop, but after all, the couple still live on the monthly salary of the General’s Mansion, how can they come up with such a large sum of money? Grandma Zhang’s natal family is in the countryside, and it is even less likely that she has much savings. She wants to give it to
Her nephew donated his official position. Thinking about it, it was an impossible task.
So, does Grandma Zhang and her family plan to use a one-off way to trade things for their own personal gain?
The old lady's brows furrowed tightly and she was silent.
Aunt Jin looked at her and said: "Old Madam, in fact, based on my relationship with Xiuyu, I shouldn't say this. But Old Madam and I are masters and servants. It makes no sense for Xiuyu
I did something wrong and helped her hide it from you. Now that this matter has not become a big deal, now that you know it, you reprimanded her and asked her to restrain herself and correct herself. I believe she has never done it.
I have betrayed you, so let this matter pass."
After hearing what she said, the old lady sighed, looked up at her, and said, "Jinyu, I know you are a good person, loyal, nostalgic for old friendships, good-hearted, and willing to help others. But this matter has not happened.
So simple. If they are really interested in donating official posts and want to make money because of it, just doing tricks in the tea shop is not enough. I think Xiuyu's matter is definitely not that simple. I need to pay more attention to it.
Just check it out.”
After hearing this, Aunt Jin didn't know what to feel in her heart. She knew the old lady. She was really smart. She didn't show any sluggishness even when she was older. On the contrary, she became more sophisticated and thoughtful because of the increase in experience. Aunt Zhang's
She has already checked everything she can. If the old lady thinks there are still problems, it must be a more serious incident. If it is really found out, Granny Zhang is afraid that something serious will happen. However, she also
There is nothing more to say. Everyone has their own destiny. She has done everything she can. As for the consequences, it is not up to her servants to decide. Now it just depends on how the old lady wants to deal with it.
So she smiled and said: "The old lady has always been wise. Small people don't understand these things. You must have your own reasons for making this decision."
The old lady also smiled. Then she sighed and said, "People, everyone has their own ideas, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that as an old prince of the General's Mansion, I naturally have to think about this family.
As long as it's not betrayal, what can I not tolerate?"
After hearing this, Aunt Jin felt a chill in her heart.
The old lady is a person who values rules, that is to say, she is actually a person who values loyalty the most. The people below are easy to say anything, even if they are greedy for a little money or a little advantage, but as long as it is not too excessive, she will turn a blind eye.
Just let it go and not pursue it too much. But if there is betrayal, don't expect the old lady to be open to the past relationship. In the old lady's heart, no relationship is as important as the word "rules".
At this time, voices came from the yard. It was Grandma Zhang who had finished tying the knot for her at the painting screen, and then returned to the old lady. The old lady and Grandma Jin looked at each other, and then let people in.
She always avoids talking to others in secret, so she will definitely alert others. The old lady will not make such a mistake.
Grandma Zhang entered the room and saw the old lady and Grandma Jin talking and laughing. Their expressions were natural and not much different from the past. She couldn't help but feel a little more confused. If nothing happened, why did they drive everyone away?
After going out, they closed the door and whispered? Since there were important things that even she, Jinxiu and others were not allowed to listen to, why was the atmosphere so relaxed now? She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it, she tried to pry a few words but found out
I didn't know anything. I knew that the old lady didn't want to know it on purpose, so I didn't dare to ask anymore.
However, she was unwilling to do so after all, so when Grandma Jin said goodbye, she volunteered to send her out, but the old lady did not stop her. When the two walked out of the old lady's yard, she took Grandma Jin's hand.
, and said with a bit of grievance during the intimacy: "Sister Jinyu, what do you want to say to the old lady when you come here this time? Jinxiu and the others are just younger, and even I have to be kept in the dark.
Where?"
Aunt Jin gave her a meaningful look and said: "It's all something that happened in the shop outside. It has lost the face of the General's Mansion. The old lady doesn't want others to know. It would be too conspicuous to keep you alone, so she even
You also kicked her out together. But you don’t have to worry. The old lady will naturally tell you when the truth comes out in two days. She still needs your help. There are not many old people around the old lady now. You are
Isn’t it the most powerful among them?”
Grandma Zhang heard something specious, and her instinctive reaction seemed to be that something was wrong. However, after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't think of anything wrong. After thinking for a long time, she had to put the matter aside for the time being, and said with a smile: "I see, then I'm relieved.
.Sister Jinyu, please walk slowly. I will talk to you later when I have time."
Aunt Jin looked at her deeply. After all, they were sisters, so she couldn't help but feel sympathy. She gave Aunt Zhang some hints inside and outside her words, just to see if she could hear it.
I understand. If I understand, go to the old lady and admit her mistake quickly, and maybe you can get the old lady to let her go. If you don't understand, then you can only wait for the punishment to come. I don't know how the old lady will punish her!
In fact, Grandma Zhang didn't understand it, because she didn't think that the things in her family were serious at all. They said that there is no business without treachery, and there are a lot of cunning business people in this world, but she just
What does it matter if you do some tricks? Since you don't realize the seriousness of the matter, you will naturally not think about it, so don't you just not understand Grandma Jin's warning?
However, she told Ms. Feng about the matter. After hearing this, Ms. Feng had other thoughts.
Did the old lady notice something?
She has been in the mansion for seven years and has served the old lady for seven years. Even if her understanding of the old lady is not as deep as that of Grandma Jin, she is definitely not too shallow. The old lady attaches great importance to the issue of heirs in the general's mansion and treats everyone
Heirs are all valued very much, and this is natural. Why is it that the Zhao family has never had many heirs? So no matter what you do, even if the old lady forgives everything, she will never easily forgive such a thing as taking action against Zhao Yutiao's flesh and blood.
. And she not only did this kind of thing, she also did it more than once. Although she failed all times and failed, she still did it after all. If it was leaked, wouldn't the old lady be disgusted with herself or even hate her to the bone? So these are
Things must never be known to anyone, not even the slightest leak!
Thinking of this, Ms. Feng's heart immediately became confused. It wasn't that she was too timid, but that Nanny Zhang had always been close to her. But this time, the old lady purposely kicked Nanny Zhang out. It wasn't because she obviously couldn't do this.
Should Aunt Zhang know? She never thought that Aunt Zhang would be tabooed by the old lady because of her family affairs. She could only think that the old lady might have noticed the relationship between Nanny Zhang and herself, so she rejected Nanny Zhang.
Outside the door, wouldn't she be afraid just thinking about it?
Because of such a mistake, Pei Xin'er, who had been working hard to take back the housekeeper's power, now did not dare to act rashly and had to pretend to be sick again, saying that his body was not yet healthy.
After recovering, I no longer dare to appear in front of the old lady.
The old lady was worried about the possibility of her cronies betraying her, and she was not in the mood to pay much attention to Feng. She just ordered Eucommia ulmoides to go to her for diagnosis and treatment, and nothing more was said. Feng also had a few tricks up his sleeve in pretending to be ill.
He was so tempted that he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw this. He didn't dare to think about anything anymore and simply hid.
Although the old lady is not taking care of things now, after all, her remaining power is still there, and she has many cronies. It is extremely simple to investigate the affairs of a servant. In just two days, the investigation results about Grandma Zhang and her family were sent to her.
Arriving in front of her, she carefully looked at what was presented to her by the people below. The more she looked at it, the more her face became livid and angry.
"That's unreasonable!" She couldn't help but slapped the table so hard that even the teacup on the table bounced up, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Jinxiu and Huaping stood by and did not peek at what was written on the paper, but they were shocked when they saw the old lady looking so angry. It should be noted that the old lady was old and strong, her mind was calm, and she could be happy or angry easily.
She was invisible, it was rare for her to show such anger, with such a furious look, she was really angry, and I don’t know what kind of things could make her so angry?!
The two of them hurriedly knelt down with a "pop" sound. Although they knew that the old lady's anger was not directed at them, they still couldn't help but feel frightened and panicked.
But the old lady didn't even look at them, she just shouted loudly: "Come here, call me Zhang Xiuyu!"
She was so angry that she even called out Grandma Zhang's maiden name.
Jinxiu and Huaping exchanged glances. Huaping climbed up hurriedly and said yes, then quickly turned around and retreated to find someone. Jinxiu also stood up carefully, observing the old lady's face and comforting her.
Said: "Old madam... calm down, no matter what happens, just deal with it calmly... Anger will hurt your body, your body is important!"
The old lady did not express her anger at her, but she slammed the table again and said bitterly: "Aren't you angry? How can I not be angry?! How do I treat her well on weekdays? Did I shortchange her or wrong her? She
You actually do such shameless things to repay me, how can I not be angry?!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
