Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three The Big House (Seeking the Moon)
Chapter 323: The turbulent big house (please vote for me!)
The news of Aunt Jin's acknowledgment was not only spread outside, but also caused waves in the inner government house.
That night, Mr. Li retired from the government office and stayed at Madam Liu's in the main room. After dinner, he lay lazily on a special reclining chair, with his feet hanging naturally in the wooden basin in front of him.
Mei Zhi, the maid who accompanied the bed in the main room, half squatted and half knelt, vigorously washing the master's feet, while Mrs. Liu sat quietly on the embroidered pier and looked at her husband.
Li You enjoyed the decadent life of the ruling class. He closed his eyes to rest and praised: "Looking at all the rooms, only plum branches are the most comfortable to wash if you dare to use your strength."
Mei Zhi was rarely praised by Li You, but she didn't answer and asked absently: "Is Aunt Jin really the daughter of the Jin Wanwan family? Isn't it Master that you are pretending to be her?"
"Can this still be fake? Don't make any wild guesses."
As a loyal maid who protects her master and the moat of the Li family's main house, Mei Zhi was originally the most wary of Aunt Guan. Unexpectedly, Aunt Jin, who had always been low-key and harmless, was the real tiger. She actually had a father like Jin Wanwan, so the loyal maid
The sense of crisis suddenly increased. After all, this family background is too powerful, and he is one of the richest people in the world.
Mei Zhi didn't know how to speak in a roundabout way and made insinuations, so she raised her head and said to the master straightforwardly: "If my little maid is someone like Jin Wanwan, she definitely doesn't want her daughter to be a shameless concubine with no status."
Mei Zhi's worries are justified. These days, there is a huge gap in the status of wives and concubines. According to the rules, the wife is the mistress, and the concubine can only be ranked between the master and the slave. Especially for a well-known family, it is not right for a daughter to be a concubine for others.
It's a shameful thing. It's absolutely normal for Jin Wanwan to have some thoughts.
Even if the status of wife and concubine remains unchanged, if the concubine becomes arrogant and rides on the mistress, this is intolerable to Zhongyi Mei Zhi!
Li You thought about it and said, "You are worrying too much. Sister Bao is not someone who likes to argue."
While he was talking, Mr. Li inadvertently raised his foot and lightly brushed it against Mei Zhi's chest. Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from the soles of his feet. As if he had discovered something interesting, he deliberately put his foot against Mei Zhi's plump chest.
, rubbing up and down through the thin gauze clothes, it was so tender and itchy that I couldn't help but let out a few moans, and my little brother was also ready to move.
Mei Zhi said in shame and anger: "Master, please don't act mischievously, or you will ruin your coat!"
"You don't have to worry about breaking it if you untie it." Li You suggested obscenely.
Mei Zhi's almond-shaped eyes were gradually filled with anger. Just as she was about to say something, a maid came to the inner courtyard to report the matter on the order of the chief steward Li Si. "Aunt Jin brought her back, but the Jin family sent a carriage to accompany her.
It is loaded with silk, gold and silver, and is said to be given as a reward to the servants at home on behalf of Aunt Jin."
Mei Zhi no longer cared about resisting the master's sexual harassment, and immediately accused: "Master, look! This is buying people's hearts!"
Li You raised his hand to stop Mei Zhi from continuing, frowned and asked, "Does everyone in the family know?"
"The servants of the Jin family took the initiative to publicize this matter when they entered the inner office. I'm afraid everyone in the house will know about it."
Mr. Li's frown deepened. Jin Baoer recognized his relatives. He was not worried about anything else. What he was most worried about was the inexplicable sense of superiority in a wealthy family.
A top salt merchant like Jin Wanwan is no longer an ordinary person. Even if his father-in-law's speculations are true, they are just the tip of the iceberg, and there is still an unknown amount of water behind them. It's just that the background has been touched.
Being bigger and possessing the force of the Department of Defense, he seemed helpless. If he were replaced by a general informing the county, all the dregs would have been eaten up, but this did not mean that he could underestimate the power behind the big salt merchant.
All in all, what the Jin family did tonight must be due to their sense of superiority under the aura of great wealth. Li You made up his mind and ordered: "Pass this to the master, take the things and distribute them to the house."
Servant. But all the servants of the Jin family who come to the door must be taken down. Each of them will be punished for thirty years for making noise to the county government. They must not be let off lightly. When they are sent back to the Jin Mansion, tell his family that I will not do this!"
Li You stepped on his slippers and stood up again and said to Mrs. Liu, "I'll go to Aunt Jin's place to have a look. I'll be back soon."
Mei Zhi pulled Li You's sleeve and said, "You must come back."
"Young lady is not in a hurry, but the maid is in a hurry." Li You said with a dumb smile.
Madam Liu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly blushed and said, "I am also in a hurry."
His timid and introverted wife rarely made such a clear statement. Li You was so surprised that he couldn't help but look back and stare at Madam Liu.
After mustering up the courage to express her thoughts, Madam Liu felt a little embarrassed. She looked down at her toes shyly, but heard her husband say, "Madam, you've made some progress."
She knew that the man must have a playful smile on his face when talking.
Then I heard Mei Zhi complain: "Can you not be in a hurry? I don't think you are interested in it, sir."
Then I heard my husband say loudly: "Nonsense! Master, when did I become useless? When did I not feed you, the little prodigal hoof? You screamed louder than your young lady."
Madam Liu wanted to raise her head to persuade her, but when she heard her husband talking about her in a nasty way, she felt shy and lowered her head in silence.
Mei Zhi stretched out her fingers and counted: "In the four rooms of the house, including the slaves and Xiaozhu, excluding Aunt Jin who drank the medicine, there are a total of five people. So far, only Aunt Guan has been born, and there is no other one. Sir, do you think you are pregnant?"
Is it useful? Can my lady not be anxious? Can she feel at peace?"
This... Li You was speechless. He couldn't report his great achievements in hunting wild food. Finally, he said angrily: "Xiao Zhu doesn't count!"
"Then who knows, those words only happen to the master." Mei Zhi curled her lips, raised the wooden basin, stepped over the threshold and poured water.
When I got to the yard, I saw Lv Shui from Aunt Guan's room poking her head in and calling out from outside the door: "Is the master here? My young lady wants to say a few words to the master."
Mei Zhi pointed out: "Are you Aunt Guan worried too?"
After a night of silence, Li You signed the ticket the next day, went to Jin's house to demand salt lessons, and brazenly arrested Meng Gongming, the former Dian Shi, as a sign of beating.
It is true that you, Jin Wanwan, are powerful in the officialdom, but I am a real member of the officialdom. I also have a strong backing, either overt or covert. This difference needs to be clarified.
The specific difference is that it should be that Jin Yuanwai became Li Xianzun's father-in-law, rather than Li Xianzun becoming the son-in-law of the Jin family.
At Jin's house, Jin Wanwan was hit twice by his new son-in-law and was still confused when he learned what happened last night, but he yelled with his wife, "That's it! Who told you to do that? Li You is not an ordinary official.
, is definitely not a thing in the pool, your little tricks that are not on the table are of no use! He will not accept your trick, and today he backhandedly ruined the face of my Jin family!"
Mrs. Xie said: "Poor Bao'er has been mistreated by my husband and wife for many years, and has never enjoyed a single day of happiness. Thinking of me as a mother, it makes my heartache. What will it be like to live under someone else's roof and be a concubine now? You have to use any method! You were in the beginning
You sold your daughter behind my back and suffered retribution for not being able to have a son. Now you don’t want to find a way to make up for it, so you have the nerve to say it’s useless?”
