The fourth girl made the whole family cry again

Chapter 20 Your dad is back

"If the fourth girl has any work to do in the future, just ask the little maid to call her. The old woman has a lot of strength, so please don't be polite!"

The two old ladies left these words before leaving.

Zhou Xixi didn't even show up and asked Fat Ya to send the two women out of Zhulan Garden.

Seeing that there was no one behind them, the two women began to chew their tongues.

Mother-in-law A: "You see, they are both concubines, but their biological mothers are different, so the situation is different."

They are both concubines, so this is a comparison between the third girl and the fourth girl.

Mother-in-law B: "Isn't that right? The two of us are responsible for the hot water in the third and fourth girls' houses. When have we ever had any benefit in the past few years?"

Mother-in-law A: "In the past, Grandma Li was very strict in the fourth girl's house, and she didn't even leave any room for us. Now it's better. This surnamed Li can't protect herself. The fourth girl herself is old enough to be the master of the house, and she has a lot of money." It’s just loose.”

The old woman shook the dime in her hand and estimated that it was at least half a tael. She couldn't earn so much money in a month!
  As for the third girl, the two didn't say much. Life was not easy, and no one could tell.

Speaking of Grandma Li, that shocking scene in the morning.
  Mother-in-law B: "Don't even look at who gave birth to the fourth girl. Who in our house doesn't know that Aunt Liu has more money in her house than in the entire general's house. Aunt Liu gave birth to the fourth girl, and her money Naturally, I will leave it to the fourth girl in the future."

The two women can figure out which direction the wind will blow in the future by using their brains a little.

At this end, the two women returned to the big kitchen happily.

On the other side, two other women were returning from the east courtyard carrying large wooden buckets.

Mother-in-law B rubbed her sore shoulders and let out an ouch.

"This madam is really good at scheming! Every time we went to deliver hot water, we were not ordered around by her, not even willing to reward a copper coin, and she wanted to skin us inside and out!"

Mother-in-law Ding glanced around: "There are many servants in the big house and the second house, and a fixed monthly payment is allocated. The west courtyard is bustling with people, and the east courtyard is almost becoming a cemetery. Once you enter, It’s so deserted, it doesn’t look like the main courtyard of the General’s Mansion!”

Mother-in-law C: "The eldest lady is really good at scheming. On this trip, we swept the floor and poured water. We also cleaned the main room. We did the work of the servants in the east courtyard and earned a living in the kitchen of the palace. Wages!”

The key is not to speak out yet.

When they first divided the work, the two of them thought that being able to serve a legitimate daughter would bring a lot of benefits, so they gave the steward money to choose the job. Now, they just have to knock out their front teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and eat Coptis chinensis for the dumb!

Mother-in-law Ding: "Let's forget about the big house. Fortunately, there is no shortage of money for the second house. We can still get some benefits. Why is no one paying attention to us today?"

The old lady was thinking about going to the second room today. Normally, she would be greeted by Aunt Sui who was next to the second wife, or the maid would rush out and reward her with a few snacks or a handful of coins. Today, it was actually a little girl who was cleaning the house. road?
  The two women were doing something strange in the main courtyard of the second house.

Over at Bamboo Orchid Garden, Zhou Xixi was soaking in a bathtub filled with flower petals, and was also listening to the gossip from the main room.

During dinner, System Xiaobao wandered around again, and when he came back, he went straight to Zhou Xixi's bathroom.

In the mist-shrouded bathroom, the aroma of soaked flower petals filled the air.

Zhou Xixi half-reclined in the bathtub, enjoying the two not-so-beautiful maids rubbing their shoulders and back. There was a plate of green grapes on the small table at hand. She pinched one with her white and slender fingers and put in the cherry. Small mouth.

After the grapes were imported, within two seconds, the pulp was eaten into someone's stomach, the skin and seeds were spat out, and landed accurately in the spittoon along a certain section of the profile.

【Your father is back! 】

As soon as System Xiaobao entered the room, he looked at a certain idle host, curled his lips, and got straight to the point.

Zhou Xixi was eating a grape when she choked on the incoherent words and swallowed the whole grape with a "gulp".

【Cough cough cough! What? Who did you say is back? ]    【Your father! Zhou Bai, the second master of the Zhou family! 】

Zhou Xixi didn't really react when she heard such a title.

It turns out to be dad!

I heard her mother say in the old lady's room that day that she should be coming back.

Zhou Xixi stood up from the bathtub and asked the maid to help her put on her underwear.

[When did you come back? Do I still need to go there? 】

Although Zhou Xixi said this, she was unwilling to move in her heart. The washing was white and fragrant. Wouldn't it be better to get into bed by herself?

The system checked, [At 3:10 in the afternoon, your father stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion with his left foot. When he came back, he first went to the old lady's courtyard, kowtowed and drank two pots of tea.

At four o'clock, your father went back to the front yard, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.

At five o'clock, your father went back to the old lady's courtyard to have dinner and drink two pots of tea.

At six o'clock, your father came out of the old lady's courtyard and was intercepted by the second lady's people on the way to Wutong Garden. After some negotiation, your father reluctantly went to the main courtyard.]

【etc! 】

When the system said this, Zhou Xixi stopped him from saying anything else.

[You mean that my cheap dad went to the old lady’s courtyard after he came back, and the second lady didn’t even know? 】

System: [It should be that the second lady didn’t go there and had been preparing things for the banquet tomorrow in her courtyard. 】

Zhou Xixi: [Then my cheap dad went to the front yard to wash up and didn’t go back to the backyard? 】

System: [Your father has been in a dusty life and has an unkempt beard. When he kowtowed to the old lady, the old lady asked him who he was? Later, your father went to the front yard to take a bath. He changed the bath water five times in the front yard before washing himself clean. 】

Zhou Xixi: "." Is this what I'm asking? But after changing the bath water five times, what will happen!
  Zhou Xixi: [My cheap dad didn’t go home for a few months, so he went to visit his mother first. This is filial piety. But when he returned to the backyard, why didn’t he go to the main house instead of going to Aunt Liu’s place in Wutong Garden? 】

After asking around, this is the key point!
  What the second master did was obviously against the rules, so it was reasonable for the second wife to send someone to stop him halfway.

Zhou Xixi blinked her deer eyes, shining brightly, and moved towards the system.

【统宝，他俩打起来没有？ 】

System: "." I want to find an excuse for you, saying that your daughter cares about your parents, but what's the matter with your look of watching a good show?

[Host, the following scene is a bit hard to explain. Are you sure you want to listen? 】

Zhou Xixi glared, [Of course, you know this and I know it, and no one else knows, so what can't be said? 】

Everyone: There is something wrong with our ears. We really didn’t hear anything.

One of the things that a certain system likes to do the most when coming to the General's Mansion is to go out for a leisurely trip and return to Zhulan Garden. The habitual thing to do is to take shortcuts.

Just like today, the home courtyard came out, passed by the next room, and encountered a deputy management affairs of the door of the door, because the class was half an hour late for the class, he was uncomfortable in his urine, and he found it before he ran to the latrine. The angle began to be solved on the spot.
