When Huiniang heard what Yaren said, she was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect this.
After all, when we were in the county town, our family was not big, so we only hired one cook. This was not just a servant, but someone paid by the village every month.
And their business has been assigned to the villages below, so they can finish it, and then it can be distributed to the distribution stores by a few people in the family.
My uncle’s family also helped with the work, so there was no need to buy someone else!
As for the servant girls, the Shi family only lived in the few courtyards where they lived. It was such a big place, and the whole family didn't think there was anything wrong with doing the work themselves.
Therefore, when Magistrate Niu came to the capital, it was only the four of them and their family, and they did not bring any servants or servants with them at all.
This is also the reason why, after arriving in the capital, Mrs. Niu directly arranged the four members of the Shi family in the reverse room.
Although I heard my husband-in-law say that there is always filial piety in the family.
However, looking at how the four members of Shi's family were dressed, there was not even a servant, maid, or servant. It must have been that even if they had earned some money from doing business in the county town, it was probably not much.
After all, I heard that the eldest son and the youngest son of the Shi family stayed in the county. It should be Shi Xinhai and his wife who left most of the money the family earned over the years to their two sons.
When she thought about Shi's family's previous business of operating on pigs and then selling pork, Mrs. Niu felt that it was not good enough.
Therefore, the four members of the Shi family were arranged to live together with the servants in the mansion.
During this time, Magistrate Niu had no intention of paying attention to the affairs of the government because of his promotion. Naturally, he knew nothing about the arrangements of the Shi family.
Now that Huiniang heard Yaren's words, she thought about it carefully. The second yard was so big that it would be unreliable for her and her daughter to do the cleaning and cooking alone.
The most important point is that the second child has to take the imperial examination and become an official.
It would be inappropriate for an official's family to have no servants or servants.
And Jiang Er, at this age, she has to look after others. If someone comes to the house, she can’t let her daughter serve them tea and water herself, right?
Therefore, these people will definitely buy it.
Since Yaren kindly reminded her, she didn't want to find another person, so she directly asked Yaren to help and find some better people.
Although the servant girl was not available, it did not prevent the Shi family of four from moving anxiously.
Regarding the news that the Shi family was moving out of the mansion, Hui Niang didn't even see Mrs. Niu in person. She just asked to see Mrs. Niu outside the yard, but was dismissed by Mrs. Niu's personal servant.
When the servant girl went back to tell Mrs. Niu, her family came to see her and told her that she wanted to leave Niu Mansion, but she dismissed her immediately!
Mrs. Niu threw the hairpin on the dressing table impatiently and snorted.
"I think they have been living in the mansion for so many days and have never been used by the master. They must have empty pockets and want to make a splash by talking about leaving the mansion! I don't know what the master is thinking about taking them.
At that time, when the chief came to the capital, he was worried about the rampant thieves along the way.
, and asked him to help protect him. But the road was calm and calm, and not a single thief was seen. Our house still provides food and drink for their family. The money in the house was not blown by the strong wind, how could it be so wasted
.It’s better to leave, so as not to eat for free every day and look like an eyesore.”
The biggest reason why Mrs. Niu had complaints against the Shi family was that she had called Hui Niang to talk to her several times before.
I originally thought that thinking about Shi Jiang relying on her master to eat, Hui Niang would naturally support her and try her best to flatter her.
However, Hui Niang either didn't speak or choked someone to death when she spoke. How could she have the consciousness to eat and drink for free in Niu Mansion?
Therefore, after inviting Huiniang to talk to her several times, Mrs. Niu forgot about her!
Now that she learned that Shi's family was moving away, Mrs. Niu felt that it was easier for her to evict them.
Hui Niang didn't think much about Mrs. Niu not seeing her.
If you don't see me, then you won't see me. Anyway, Mrs. Niu's attitude has been clear to her for a long time these days.
As for Magistrate Niu, she didn't have much hope.
When Shi Xinhai heard what Hui Niang said when she came back, she pondered for a moment, then packed up her things together, then went out to call a donkey cart and got on the cart and left!
It was several days before Magistrate Niu learned that the four members of the Shi family had left Niu Mansion.
"What? Why did you let Shi Xinhai and his family leave?"
Magistrate Niu paced back and forth in the room, with a grimace on his face, and shouted angrily at Mrs. Niu.
"They are just freeloaders. If they want to leave, just let them go. Why are you yelling?"
Mrs. Niu had just put a gold hairpin on her hair. Before she could ask Magistrate Niu whether the hairpin looked good on her, she was yelled at by Magistrate Niu to her surprise. She immediately became angry and angry.
's reply.
"You are stupid, why are you freeloading on the autumn wind? Did you know that the gold hairpin on your head was made by the filial piety of the Shi family?"
Magistrate Niu angrily pointed at the golden hairpin as thick as a finger on Mrs. Niu's head and said angrily.
When Mrs. Niu heard this, her head went blank.
What?
The gold hairpin on my head was made with the filial piety of the Shi family. How much money did the family have at that time?
No, it’s my own man. What did he hide from me?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Niu's eyes suddenly stood up, she stood up from the dressing table, put one hand on her hips, and pointed at Magistrate Niu's nose with the other and cursed.
"Okay, let me tell you why you were so polite to your family at that time. It turns out there was a hidden secret behind it. Let me ask you, how much money did your family pay you back then? I remember you said before, the Shi family
Those who show filial piety are just scattered pieces of silver, not much filial piety at all. You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I will go back to my parents' home and talk to my father and brother about what you have been doing without telling me all these years.
What kind of shameful deeds have been done."
Magistrate Niu just blurted out this out of anger.
When he was in the county town, the Shi family's money for filial piety was increasing year by year. Naturally, he would not give all of this money to his wife.
Just took a small part of it and stuffed it into Mrs. Cow's mouth.
Others were secretly hidden in their own vaults.
Now that he was talking baldly, Mrs. Niu pounced on him and tugged on his clothes, asking him to tell him honestly where the filial piety money he had spent over the years had been spent!
Naturally, Magistrate Niu refused to explain. For a moment, the two people were pulling each other and almost got into a fight.
If it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Niu's father and brother, Magistrate Niu would have already fought against her, but when he thought about the fact that his promotion has not been settled in the past few days since he came back, he had to rely on his father-in-law and uncle to help him put in good words. Naturally, he couldn't really
He took action against Mrs. Niu.
Therefore, I could only pull back my robe with force, hold on to my crooked hat, and hurried out of the room.
