The more Zhe Jing thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She wanted to take action, but the force value was not high enough, so she could only vent her anger on Manager Zhou, "I bought these two people, and you still haven't sent them to me!"
Uh... Manager Zhou was dumbfounded when he was pointed at by the whip. This little ancestor was really trying to pick up the pieces.
But no matter how frustrated he felt in his heart, Manager Zhou could only smile with his face, "There are several girls here. It's a blessing for them that the eldest lady is interested in them."
"You're blind, I said I wanted these two people!" Zhe Jing whipped her furiously. Fortunately, she didn't intend to hurt anyone, and the whip flew past Manager Zhou's cheek.
Manager Zhou took two steps back with lingering fear. It was said that the eldest daughter of the Zhe family would beat someone up if she disagreed. Manager Zhou had thought it was a rumor before. At this moment, his face turned pale with fear. After calming down, he stammered: "Big
The two young ladies have already been bought and have passed the red deed at the Yamen."
"I said I would buy these two people!" Zhe Jing reiterated forcefully. The Zhe family has no shortage of maids or cooks. Originally, she came to Yaxing just to visit, but now she and Zhan Fei have sex. Zhe Jing
He wanted to take the cook and the maid away, "Ada, give me some money!"
Before Manager Zhou could speak, two banknotes were stuffed into his hand. When he looked closely, they turned out to be two fifty taels. This made Manager Zhou couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't earn a hundred taels a year.
silver.
But Zhe Jing didn't dare to show off to the person she offended, and Manager Zhou didn't dare to take the risk. He endured the heartache and handed over the banknote, "Miss, please stop looking at these few people."
The girls all know the rules, and two of them are also good at cooking. It’s really hard for these two to have passed the red deed in the Yamen."
"So what if we have the red deed? It's just a matter of words. I want these two people!" Zhe Jing looked arrogant. The Zhe family's face is here. How dare those small officials in the yamen not give the Zhe family face? "These two people
There's something wrong with the person's deed of sale, and if it's invalid, it won't count. Okay, I'll take these two people home."
Zhan Feiyu smiled and looked at Zhe Jing who was talking to herself, "From what Miss Zhe said, it seems that the Shuntian Mansion Yamen is run by the Zhe family. The contract written in black and white on the Yamen will be void if it is invalid. I would like to ask the Bai Mansion about it."
Yin.”
"You?" Zhe Jing stared at Zhan Feiyu, this sharp-tongued little bitch, with burning eyes.
Bai Fuyin is upright and impartial. Whenever the Shuntian Prefecture takes over the case, Bai Fuyin will not give face to anyone who comes to tell the case. Everything is handled impartially and there is absolutely no bending of the law for personal gain.
"Don't worry, Miss, this red contract is absolutely valid." Manager Zhou said with a grimace. If it were an ordinary trivial matter, the government official would be somewhat accommodating, but if it really got serious, who would dare?
I am pretending to be a public servant for my own benefit, so I don’t want this official uniform anymore.
"It seems that Miss Zhe, who is under the emperor's feet, can no longer cover the sky with one hand." Zhan Feiyu smiled and said, "Ah Nuan has put away the deed of betrayal and brought the two of them back."
"Yes, Miss." He Nuan responded.
"This bitch..." Seeing Zhan Feiyu and the others swaggeringly getting on the carriage and leaving, Zhe Jing was furious and took a whip and hit Manager Zhou angrily. She couldn't move the bitch, and she couldn't do this.
Untouchable!
Ah Da and Ah Er didn't stop them. They wore thick winter clothes. The young lady was so angry that her whips were misguided and she couldn't hit anyone to death.
Manager Zhou fell to the ground and cried out in pain. He protected his head with both arms and dodged his body left and right. The whip came down one after another. Apart from the burning pain on the back of his hand, it was not too painful.
After all, people were coming and going outside Yaxing. Zhe Jing was tired after being whipped for more than a dozen times, but her anger could not be dissipated. "Go home!"
Zhan Feiyu knew that Zhe Jing would not give up and was just trying to show off her tricks. He returned to the courtyard of Yufeng Building and continued today's homework. This made Chef Xiao and Cui Ya who came back with him dumbfounded.
"Miss likes to be quiet, and she has to study every day, so whether she is cleaning up in the kitchen or in the yard, she should move more slowly..." He Nuan gave a rough explanation of what the two of them had to do.
Chef Xiao is responsible for three meals a day, and Cui Ya helps with some chores. As for Zhan Feiyu's warm service, they don't need to intervene.
"I have remembered everything the girl said." Chef Xiao said, leading the somewhat dull Cui Ya to salute He Nuan, and then continued: "I stayed at Yaxing all night, I'm going to cook some
Take a shower first, and prepare lunch for the lady in a moment."
"Cui Ya, go and boil the water." He Nuan took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Chef Xiao, "Your accent sounds like you are from the capital, so go buy some clothes and sundries that you two need first.
We’ll start working tomorrow after the arrangements are made.”
"Thank you, Miss He." Chef Xiao took the money gratefully. She knew that she had met a kind-hearted master, so Chef Xiao finally felt relieved.
After the arrangements were made, He Nuan turned around and went to the study, and whispered back: "Miss, Mr. Xiao is hiding something."
"Today we went to Yaxing out of the blue. Outsiders couldn't have planned it in advance. Chef Xiao can check it out as long as it has nothing to do with us." Zhan Feiyu estimated that Chef Xiao's origins were not as simple as what Yaxing said.
Cooks who are good at cooking will serve at the master's house and will not go to the village unless there is some special reason.
Furthermore, when Zhe Jing appeared, Chef Xiao's expression changed obviously. Although she concealed it very quickly, He Nuan still noticed that she should have seen Zhe Jing, and when Zhe Jing wanted to buy and sell by force, Chef Xiao's eyes
I became more nervous and uneasy, and I didn't relax until I returned to Yufeng Building.
The Zhe family is also considered a top family in the capital. Since Chef Xiao has met Zhe Jing, she thinks that the master's house she stayed in before is almost the same as the Zhe family. Chef Xiao will be sold to the dental clinic, probably to avoid some, left and right.
It's just a secret in the back house.
…
Compared to the calm in Zhan Feiyu, the Zhe family was in a violent storm at the moment. Several women tried to stop Zhe Jing from going crazy, but they were whipped several times.
Luliu staggered, not caring that he almost fell, and shouted anxiously towards the house, "Madam is not good, the eldest lady is here..."
The eldest lady was so angry at Orisaburo yesterday that she was currently leaning on the soft couch talking to the second lady who came to visit. She couldn't help but frown when she heard Luliu's shout.
"Little sister, what are you making all this fuss about?" The second lady stood up and walked towards the window.
Through the breathable gap, the second lady saw Zhe Jing running like crazy with a whip. The woman and maids following behind wanted to stop her but didn't dare. A nurse came over, but they were stopped by Ah Da and Ah Er.
.
The eldest lady had a sullen face. Saburo cared about his sister-in-law more than himself as a mother, which made the eldest lady depressed. At this moment, the sister-in-law broke into her yard without any rules.
Listening to the noise outside and the painful cries of the servants being whipped, the eldest lady laughed angrily, "I sacrificed my dignity to apologize to a junior, and even gave her my own dowry. It's just that I don't appreciate it. That's all."
Hate me."
"Sister-in-law, there is no need to be angry. Evil people will be punished by evil people. Let's wait and see." The second lady always looked down upon Zhe Jing's behavior, which almost brought the Zhe family's face to shame.
It happened that her parents-in-law doted on her and the sons of the Zhe family protected her. If the two sisters dared to say anything bad about Zhe Jing, they would become public enemies of the whole family. They would watch over it. When Zhe Jing gets married in the future, they will look after her husband's family.
Are you still allowing her to act so lawlessly?
The eldest lady walked to the door and looked at Zhe Jing, who was rushing towards her like crazy. She smiled coldly: "Did you come here to run wild in my yard because you got angry outside?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to speak in a weird way, I just want to ask." No matter how domineering Zhe Jing was, she didn't dare to whip the whip on the eldest lady. This was not only her sister-in-law, but also a girl from the Zhao family of the Minister of Household Affairs.
Before the eldest lady could speak, Zhe Jing asked angrily, "Obviously it was that bitch who offended me, but sister-in-law, you went behind my back to apologize to others. Now everyone in the capital is watching my joke. Sister-in-law, how are you doing?"
What kind of heart do you have?"
Zhe Jing's hand on the whip tightened, and she did not dare to attack the eldest lady after all. However, she could not vent her anger. Zhe Jing looked at Lu Liu with a sinister look and suddenly raised the whip and whipped her.
"Ah..." He screamed in pain. Luliu was hit in the face with a whip without any precaution, and he screamed in pain.
"How dare you scream like a cheap servant? It's your honor for me to whip you!" The more Lu Liu screamed in pain, the more proud Zhe Jing became. She swung the whip in her hand again. If she couldn't deal with that bitch, could she?
You can't deal with this bitch yet!
The eldest lady and the second lady really didn't expect that Zhe Jing has become so lawless. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Luliu is the maidservant of the eldest lady. This whip hits Luliu one after another. Isn't it right?
On the lady's face.
"Stop!" The eldest lady's face was livid, her whole body was shaking with anger, and she yelled rudely, "Why don't you stop the eldest lady!"
Several maids came to their senses and no longer cared about their dignity. They rushed over and finally stopped the crazy Zhe Jing. The two women took the opportunity to push the beaten Luliu into the house.
There were three whip marks on his otherwise good face. The deepest one ran from the left brow bone to the right cheek, and the skin was torn. Luliu's face was probably ruined, and he could no longer serve in the inner courtyard. He sent it to
Zhuangzi is already the best way out.
"Little sister, are you crazy?" The second lady was really worried that Zhe Jing would go crazy and beat them all, so when the maid stopped Zhe Jing, she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the whip from her hand.
"I'm crazy, and you've driven me crazy. You help outsiders humiliate me, my sister-in-law. You just don't like me and want to discredit me!" Zhe Jing screamed in a high-pitched voice, her eyes filled with hatred.
Staring at the two sisters-in-law.
"Don't think I don't know. My sister-in-law went to Yufeng Mansion to apologize and I lost face. Second sister-in-law, you deliberately concealed the news from me. You two are colluding and bullying me!"
"Little sister, don't forget that Cheng Wu led his people to visit Yufeng Tower at night, but in the end they came back defeated. Why should I apologize for you? It's because I don't want to lose my family and have another enemy for no reason!" The eldest lady sneered and stood.
Looking down on the steps
The unreasonable Zhe Jing said, "Father, your eldest brother, and nephew are fighting bravely on the battlefield, but you are dragging them back in the capital. Little sister, please treat me as your sister-in-law. If you continue to act so willfully,
You will hurt them!"
The Zhe family has a gold medal for immunity from death, but after all, the Zhe family is a military commander and does not have much connection with the court. Once someone secretly makes a stumbling block, whether it is a lack of food, grass, or military pay, medicinal materials will affect the outcome on the battlefield.
It will be too late to regret it by then.
The eldest lady went to Yufeng Mansion to apologize. On the one hand, she did not want to provoke strong enemies for the Zhe family. On the other hand, she did want to save Zhe Jing's face. But in the final analysis, Zhe Jing's loss of face was her own fault.
Seeing the calm and dignified elder sister-in-law's eyes red with anger, the second wife couldn't help but feel sad. The men of the Zhe family were working hard on the battlefield, and the slightest mistake would be the result of being shrouded in horse leather, but Zhe Jing, the sister-in-law, was causing trouble all day long.
, ruining the reputation of the Zhe family, and making enemies of the Zhe family every once in a while. If this were her own daughter, the second lady would want to slap her to death.
The maids, women, and nurses inside and outside the courtyard were silent at this moment, but it was obvious that everyone was dissatisfied with Zhe Jing, chasing the eldest son of the Ning family all over the capital, and losing the face of the men of the Zhe family.
Now she offended someone for no reason, and her eldest sister-in-law apologized for her, but Zhe Jing not only didn't appreciate it, she also made a scene in the back house, and beat up her eldest sister-in-law's personal maid. Looking at the capital, there is no such domineering and arrogant sister-in-law.
"Jing'er, make amends to your sister-in-law!" A scolding sound sounded at the door of the courtyard. Mrs. Zhe, who rushed over after receiving the news, had a solemn face. She spoke to Zhe Jing in such a stern tone for the first time, "I will give it to your sister-in-law now.
Apologize, and then go to the ancestral hall to kneel down, reflect on when and when to get up!"
"Mother?" Zhe Jing looked at Mrs. Zhe dissatisfied. Mother is so stupid that she even helped her sister-in-law to bully her.
The eldest lady and the second lady also suppressed their emotions and bowed to Mrs. Zhe respectfully, "It's because the daughter-in-law is unfilial and disturbed her mother from worshiping the Buddha."
In the Daqing Dynasty, the country was governed by filial piety. In addition to pampering Zhe Jing, Mrs. Zhe really couldn't fault her in her dealings with others. The first lady and the second wife were also respectful and filial to the old lady from the bottom of their hearts.
The old lady with a cane waved her hands, sighed, and looked at Zhe Jing with disappointment, who refused to admit her fault, "It's all me who spoiled Jing'er. You are sisters-in-law. If there is anything wrong with Jing'er, you can just point it out."
, it’s better to change now than to suffer a loss and learn a lesson later.”
The eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other. Their mother-in-law had said this many times, but if their sister-in-law really taught her the rules, her mother-in-law would probably be the first to be unhappy.
Perhaps it was the old lady who had never been harsher before. Zhe Jing reluctantly apologized and went to the ancestral hall angrily. As for whether she knelt down to reflect or went to the ancestral hall to hide in peace, there was no way of knowing.
…
A north wind blew at night, and then snowflakes fell.
The lights were still on in the stove. Cui Ya added a piece of firewood to the stove and then whispered: "Why does Miss Tian have to take a bath every night in such a cold weather?"
Cui Ya was sold by her family when she was ten years old. The five taels of silver she sold were used to treat her eldest brother who broke his leg and give him medicine. Cui Ya remembers that at home, he could not take two baths in one winter because it was too cold.
Who wants to take a bath? If he accidentally catches a cold, he might die of the disease, and the family doesn’t have any extra money to buy medicine.
Later, she was sold to the Wang family, a rice merchant, as a maid, and she was washed once a month.
"Don't say what you shouldn't say. We, as people nowadays, just do our duty. Don't ask about the master's matters and you shouldn't ask." Chef Xiao likes Cui Ya's temperament. She is obedient even though she doesn't do much, so she asks her to
She does whatever she wants and won't be lazy, otherwise Chef Xiao wouldn't have taught her the rules just now.
Cui Ya nodded with a dull expression, "I remember."
After waiting for a quarter of an hour for the water to boil, Chef Xiao quickly poured the hot water into the two wooden buckets, closed the lids, and then shouted to the outside, "He Huyuan, the hot water is ready."
It’s burned.”
The two large buckets of hot water seemed weightless in He Sheng's place. Carrying one bucket in each hand, he still walked quickly and left the kitchen in the blink of an eye.
He Nuan had just prepared his clothes, opened the door and asked He Sheng to bring the hot water in, "Brother, have you found out?"
"Ms. Xiao was in the Wen family's village before. The second lady of the Wen family lived in the village..." He Sheng quickly explained the investigation.
It is estimated that people in the capital have almost forgotten about the second young lady of the Wen family. After all, she has been crazy for seven or eight years, so the Wen family had to send her to Zhuangzi to raise her. Chef Xiao and several maids and women went to Zhuangzi with them.
.
Although she is the second young lady of the Wen family, she is a lunatic after all. Over time, the Wen family has ensured that the second young lady Wen can eat and drink. The soup manager at Zhuangzi can be regarded as a husband based on his wife. His wife is the son of the Wen family, and his parents are
I and my brothers are all working as servants in the Wen family, otherwise Tang Maocai would not be able to be the steward.
Tang Maocai was right about Zhuangzi. Mrs. Tang disliked the inconvenience of life in Zhuangzi and spent most of the year living in the Wen family's house in the back alley. Soon Tang Maocai became lustful and fell in love with Chef Xiao.
"Chef Xiao seems to be a cautious person. Doesn't she have any connections in the Wen family?" Zhan Feiyu took the words, his eyes sparkling with gossip. In a big family like the Wen family, let alone a cook.
, even the mother-in-law who poured Yexiang has some connections, not to mention that it is obviously Tang Maocai who is not responsible for this matter.
"The doctor said that Miss Wen's second Miss's madness is getting more and more serious. Chef Xiao probably took the opportunity to escape because she didn't want to cause trouble." What He Sheng found out was that Chef Xiao deliberately revealed the news that Tang Maocai was interested in him.
Mrs. Tang knew about it, so Mrs. Tang set up a trap to frame Chef Xiao, got her deed of betrayal, and drove her out of Zhuangzi.
The Wen family may not care about this crazy daughter, which is a stain on the Wen family, but Miss Wen is really dead, and the servants who served her may be punished by the master. In order to avoid disaster, Chef Xiao did this
Only then did he leave Zhuangzi by being betrayed.
"Yufeng Tower seems to be the property of the Wen family." Zhan Feiyu paused, looked at He Sheng and spoke again: "Is Second Miss Wen a concubine?"
Mrs. Wen was a tactful person. When Miss Wen was alive, she despised her for bringing the Wen family into disrepute. She ignored her and left her to die in Zhuangzi.
But the person died, and Mrs. Wen stepped on the body of Miss Wen Er to show her loving and generous side as a legitimate mother. She would definitely let Miss Wen be buried in glory, and then severely punish the servants who served her. Wen Er
The blame for the lady's death was placed on the servants.
A quarter of an hour later, while soaking in the warm bathtub, Zhan Feiyu closed his eyes and thought about the Wen family again, "If Mrs. Wen has such a vicious and cruel temper, Miss Wen might have been driven crazy."
"The eldest Miss of the Wen family is the most talented girl in the capital. After the second Miss Wen was frightened and went crazy in her early years, it was the eldest Miss of the Wen family who sent people to take care of her. I heard that the old lady of the Wen family disliked this granddaughter who was a commoner and had lost the face of the Wen family.
He wanted to make her die of illness, but the eldest lady of the Wen family stopped her and sent her to Zhuangzi with great fanfare, so Mrs. Wen had to stop her thoughts."
He Nuan feels terrible when she thinks about it now. She has had human lives on her hands, but they were all the lives of enemies. But in the back houses of these big families, killing a servant, not to mention killing one of her own family members, is normal.
, human life is like grass.
"A Nuan, you said that Chef Xiao was bought by me, will the Wen family come to ask for her?" Zhan Feiyu opened his eyes, his face flushed by the heat showed excitement, "If Miss Wen Er,
The madness is man-made, Chef Xiao is afraid that she knows something, she is afraid that she will be silenced so she escapes, but the Wen family is afraid that they will not let her go."
"Then Miss?" He Nuan really didn't expect this. Zhe Jing made a big fuss in Yaxing during the day. I think she knew about it when she came to the Wen family. In this way, she must also know the whereabouts of Chef Xiao.
Zhan Feiyu thought about it and said, "If Chef Xiao is innocent, it's okay to keep her. If she is an accomplice, let the Wen family take her back."
"Yes." He Nuan agreed, recalling the brief contact with Chef Xiao, He Nuan could not tell whether she was an accomplice or not.
