Chapter 21 Slap in the face Aunt An

On this day, Song Qingyue was busy proofreading the types and quantities of crops planted by each Zhuangzi, and Aunt Cao, who had a big belly, was helping.

Song Qingyue saw that Aunt Cao's body was swollen and her face was worried, so she could only sigh silently in her heart, and let her help her here. It's better to be busy with something than to think wildly.

The reason why Aunt Cao is in a bad mood is that Lord Song hired another Aunt An last month.

Since Mr. Song handed over the cement business to Cao He and his family, wealthy businessmen who wanted to give their daughters to Mr. Song as concubines could line up all the way from Guangzhou to Yangzhou.

Mr. Song is a bold and careful person. He knows that he is very popular, but is there any reason not to accept the money delivered to his door?

In private, with the help of King Su, he checked the families who wanted to send their daughters to the bottom of the sky. They almost dug out the graves of their ancestors to have a look.

One is because the ancestors of the An family were fishermen who went out to sea to fish. They started their careers by building boats and had little ties to the Jiangnan officialdom. Moreover, the one who followed Aunt An this time had a dowry of 20 taels.

Among them, 10 taels are white silver, and the other 10 taels are six Zhuangzi in Nanzhili, eight shops in the central area of ​​Yangzhou City, two seagoing ships, and some furniture, clothing, jewelry, etc. .

Master Song rested in Aunt An's yard for a month to show respect for the 20 taels of dowry.

That Aunt An is the eldest daughter of the family. She was born and brought up according to the standards of a noble daughter from a Jiangnan family. She already felt aggrieved, and this month's Fourth Master Song doted on her, and she felt more and more superior to others in this mansion.

There are a total of four concubines in the Song Mansion, Aunt Chun is not favored, Aunt Qiu is a slave and belongs to a concubine, and Aunt He has finally recognized her position after being taught by Master Song for arranging his wife, and has become extremely Obedient, and Aunt Cao is a good man.

In the whole house, only the third girl, Song Qingyue, dared to throw face at Aunt An.

This time in the big kitchen, Mo Xiang raised his hand and slapped Lian Root, the maid next to Aunt An.

"Your aunt should tell the kitchen in advance if she wants to eat it, so that they can soak her hair in advance. This blood swallow belongs to my girl. What are you? How dare you take it away without saying hello?"

"Mo Xiang, are you crazy? Your master is just a housekeeper, how dare you go against my aunt?"

Snapped!
Immediately afterwards, another slap was made, and finally the girl Lian Root's face was slapped symmetrically. Mo Xiang felt very satisfied.

Mo Xiang has been very confident recently. It has been three consecutive months. She has won the first place in the Mo Yuxuan monthly exam. The lady rewarded her with a "scholarship" of 100 taels of silver, and said that she can invest the 100 taels of silver in Miss's business, she will also get money when dividends are distributed every quarter in the future.

With the support of the third lady, who is she afraid of?I have long been unhappy with Aunt An and her soft-spoken maid in the courtyard, but I found a chance for her to give Aunt An a break.

"You!" Lian Root couldn't believe that Mo Xiang was so arrogant, she looked around, the servants in the kitchen turned around one after another, and went out, each busy in their own way, pretending that they didn't see anything.

Lianyuan covered her face, and ran back to Lianxiangyuan crying to ask Aunt An to decide.

When Aunt An heard that the unfavorable girl born to Aunt Chun actually asked someone to slap her in the face, that is to slap her in the face!
At that time, she was so angry that she gave Yunmao beside her a wink and asked her to take someone to Mo Yuxuan to teach that dead girl who had no one in her eyes a lesson.However, they were unable to enter and were blocked by two female guards at the door.

"Why don't you let us in, our aunt is the elder of your young lady!"

The two female guards were amused, and they looked Yunmao up and down: "It's been a long time since an aunt dared to call herself an elder."

"Live...see you long time?"

"Ah, this is what our girls say, if you live long enough, you can see all kinds of messes." One of the older female guards said kindly.

Mother Yun's face turned red from being humiliated, and she immediately yelled at the courtyard door: "You bastard who was born in a common room, don't be complacent! You will definitely regret how you treat our aunt today! Come out and give it to us!" My aunt apologizes! Our aunt is magnanimous and doesn't care about your child..."

At this time, a maid named Mohen came out from the inside. Due to her outstanding performance in the monthly exam, she was recently promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid by Song Qingyue.

She blessed herself to the two female guards at the door, and said: "Miss thinks it's noisy, please throw this woman out."

The two female guards are both top-notch in martial arts, the younger one is called Feng Jiu, and the older one is called Feng Qi.Feng Jiu was young and had a bad temper. She squinted her eyes and laughed, grabbed Nanny Yun by the neckline, rolled her arms, and easily threw her out of the courtyard!

At the gate of Mo Yuxuan, a group of maids and women who watched the excitement and inquired about the situation had gathered long ago. When they saw that Nanny Yun was thrown out by the third girl's female guard, they all laughed out loud.

In the Song residence, everyone knows that the third girl is Master Song's sharp heart, the little ancestor that no one can offend, and the third girl is the third girl, and Aunt Chun is Aunt Chun. Even if Aunt Chun is not favored, it has nothing to do with the third girl. Don't you see that these two women don't live in the same yard!
But no one has ever told Aunt An about these things, who made her be so arrogant and domineering, so bad at being a human being.

In the evening, Aunt An fell into Mrs. Song's arms and wept. Mrs. Song comforted her a few words, and called Mo Xiang, Mo Hen and the kitchen staff for questioning.

Mo Xiang knelt down and said: "Returning to the master, the ordinary bird's nest that Aunt An originally wanted, she saw our lady eating blood swallows, so she took my lady's blood swallows without authorization. She really didn't understand the rules, so the servant girl told Lianyuan, the bird's nest This kind of thing needs time to soak, and if necessary, you have to greet the kitchen one day in advance, and she called my young lady a bastard born in the house, and the servant was so angry that she reached out and beat the lotus root."

Master Song frowned when he heard this, Lian Gen was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to defend himself, but Master Song stretched out his hand to signal her to shut up, and asked the steward of the kitchen directly: "Is what Mo Xiang said true?"

The kitchen steward lowered his head and said, "Going back to the master, what Miss Lianyuan said at that time was 'an unfavored girl born in the house', not a 'bitch born in the house'."

Here, Mohen immediately added: "'Tongfangsheng's bastard' is what Grandma Yun came to the gate of our courtyard and shouted at Miss, Liuzhu in Zhixiang Garden, and Nanny Qin from Cuizhutang also I heard it, Aunt Cao was in our girl's room at that time, and she heard it too."

Master Song's eyes darkened, he rubbed his fingers with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and smiled gently at Aunt An, whose legs had softened from fright, and said, "What are you doing kneeling, get up, the ground is cold."

Aunt An wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Mr. Song's Ruyu face with surprise, but Mr. Song's next words almost sent her to hell.

"I can't blame you for the servant's fault. The lotus root and Yunmao have been sold. There is no room for slaves who disrespect the master."

"No...husband... my lord, my lord Song, the lotus roots grew up with my concubine, and Nanny Yun is my concubine's nanny. They have been with my concubine for many years, and they have worked hard without credit. Please take care of me For the sake of my body, can I be lenient to them? My lord, I beg you!"

Mr. Song looked down at Aunt An who was holding her thigh and was crying so hard, she reached out and gently wiped her tears, as if it hurt her very much: "I punished the servant, not you, you cry What? Get up, your eyes are swollen from crying, it will hurt tomorrow."

His voice was low and magnetic, and in Aunt An's ears, it was so cold that it made her tremble all over.

That day, in order to intercede for Nanny Yun, Aunt An smashed her forehead. In the end, Mr. Song leniently punished Liangen and Nanny Yun to work as coolies on the road construction site for half a year. If they did well, they would be spared. If it's not good, it won't be too late to sell it.

On the second day, Aunt Cao brought two bottles of high-quality green plum wine to Mo Yuxuan to exchange for fried melon seeds. Sunflower is a foreign variety, not found anywhere else. Watermelon seeds are easy to eat.

"Have you heard? Grandma Yun and Lianyuan were punished to build roads!" Aunt Cao laughed so hard that her stomach hurts. If it wasn't for her big belly, she would have rolled on the couch twice.

Song Qingyue observed her complexion, it was indeed much better than the previous few days, and asked with a smile: "Master Song went to your room last night?"

Aunt Cao blushed, waved her handkerchief and said angrily, "You're a little kid, how old are you, don't worry about your own business."

Song Qingyue said casually, "I'm not a child."

These words have almost become her mantra. Everyone knows that Miss San has always looked like a grown-up since she was a child, and she is used to it. Aunt Cao didn't care, and asked, "Is your Zhuangzi still lacking people?"

"No! By the way, Aunt Cao, do you have a master who is good at gardening?"

"Gardening? You want to make a garden?"

……

In the study, Song Quan reported to Mr. Song about Miss San throwing money everywhere to buy land. He said with some concern: "Miss spends too much money, less than a year, the 6 taels of shares sold, and Miss has already given away more than half of it." , do you want to invite a few accountants to teach the third lady?"

Mr. Song is dealing with the reports sent by road construction from various places. The main reason is that there are old villagers who steal the cement mortar used by the government to build roads and take them home to paint walls and build houses, or there are fights and fights because of grabbing work positions. Mr. Song only laughs when he hears this. Laughing, said: "Hasn't she been teaching the servants in her yard to read and write for a year? I heard that the Cao family has a good relationship with her? She also borrowed a bunch of Cao's staff for her. Leave her alone. Would love to see how she makes her money back."

The steward, Song Quanquan, looked distressed, but his worries remained undiminished. He said, "Since Miss bought the Zhuangzi, she has been running to the Zhuangzi every three days. Mrs. Qin seems to be very dissatisfied."

Master Song frowned. Mrs. Qin is the female teacher specially invited by Master Song to teach the girls in the mansion, learning etiquette, reading and writing, and embroidery.

This Mrs. Qin was recommended by His Royal Highness King Su. She was originally a female official in charge of sewing and sewing in the palace. Because she offended the nobles in the palace, she was dispatched to Lingnan. In order to invite her to teach the children at home, Mr. Song, But it took a lot of effort, it can be said that it took three visits to the thatched cottage.

"Yue'er often doesn't go to class?" Master Song asked with a frown.

"That is to say, she also opened a jewelry shop with Aunt Cao, and she skipped classes every three days. Mrs. Qin doesn't like Miss San very much, saying that she has no rules." Seeing that Mr. Song finally realized the seriousness of the problem, Song Quan continued. Persuading: "My lord, if you let the third lady go on like that, I'm afraid that a good official lady will be like that merchant girl!"

Mr. Song hummed. In fact, among the concubines, he was the most satisfied with Mrs. Cao. He was knowledgeable, sensible, and occasionally gave him advice.

But after all, she was originally a concubine, and the market got a little angry. Xiaoyue'er always ran around with Aunt Cao, which was really not good.

In Master Song's heart, Song Qingyue is a cold and cheerless little fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and even her own father despises her.

Ever since he heard someone scold Song Qingyue for being a bastard who was born in a common room last night, he began to seriously consider whether to record Song Qingyue under Liang's name and give her the status of a legitimate daughter.Otherwise, Qingyue will definitely suffer in marriage in the future.
