Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 366
Since Guanshi Yu has been classified as a servant under Yao Cunhui, and Yao Cunhui is the concubine of the mansion, it is only natural for Guanshi Yu to put Yao Cunhui first when addressing the two, but Mrs. Xue is not only uncomfortable but also angry, and curses Yu secretly. The steward was ungrateful, his expression darkened immediately, he snorted coldly and wanted to take the opportunity to refuse the reprimand.

Yao Cunhui noticed her signs, and immediately raised her voice and laughed first: "You just say it! You are also working for the family, so there is nothing you can't say!"

Steward Yu thanked Yao Cunhui, then hesitantly said: "That's right, the servants of Zhuangzi spend a lot of time working in the fields. I don't know, uh, can you give me two more clothes every season?" Steward Yu was afraid of Yao Cunhui. He Xue refused and hurriedly said: "You just need ordinary coarse and plain clothes, you don't need better ones! Hehe, that's what the old slave said, if it doesn't work, forget it!"

Xue's face suddenly turned cold, and he sneered and said unhurriedly: "Isn't there a release material every year? Is this not enough? Or was it missed in which year?"

Steward Yu was taken aback, and immediately shut up and refused to speak for a while, and said, "This old slave just mentioned it in passing, so let's just treat it like an old slave."

Xue was stunned, unexpectedly, Guanshi Yu didn't even have an explanation.She has always disliked this dull man, not as good as the steward Wang of Daqingzhuang who knows how to be a man, he will give her gifts every year and festival, and every time the new fresh goods from the Zhuangzi come out, he will pick a good order and give it to her.Hearing him say that now made me feel even more disgusted.

"It's not worth anything," Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "Look back and see if there are any ready-made fabrics in the warehouse. If there are any, send them over with the added farm tools in a few days! But the Fuchu has its own rules, and this time When I take over the extra rewards for everyone! Later, I will ask someone to check it out. If it is true that the clothes are not enough as you said, I will report to the old lady and his wife, and discuss it with the chief steward of the outer courtyard. Change the rules. You can’t let the big guys go to work in tatters, it’s not decent for people to see them!”

"Slave, thank you for your grace!" Steward Yu hurriedly bowed to Yao Cunhui.

"Second Aunt, do you have anything else to ask?" Yao Cunhui smiled and turned to Xue Shi.

There was anger in Xue's brows, and he smiled on the surface and said: "You have nothing to ask me, what else do you want to ask? Now this is your decision!"

Yao Cunhui smiled and said to Guanshi Yu: "Then you go back now! Let's talk about things later!"

Steward Yu respectfully agreed, kowtowed to Yao Cunhui and Mrs. Xue, stood up and was escorted out by the deacon's wife.

"My niece and daughter-in-law are really bold and resourceful. She said she wanted to change the rules of the house as soon as she came up. I have been in charge of the affairs for so many years, let alone changing them. Even with such thoughts, I never dared to make a move!" Xue said sarcastically. .

"The rules should be changed if they are out of date. It doesn't seem strange, does it?" Yao Cunhui smiled disapprovingly.

Xue said with a sneer: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are young and inexperienced, you don't know that servants are hard to control! You are used to being greedy! You are so responsive, hum, there will be troubles in the future!"

"I agreed immediately without saying anything," Yao Cunhui said with a smile, "Of course I will send someone down to find out the situation and see if what Manager Yu said is true. He is going to be punished! But if what he said is true, then this rule should be changed by the ancestors. Didn’t the second aunt also say it just now? This is how people like us behave!"

Xue suddenly had nothing to say, and said with a sneer: "My niece and daughter-in-law are careful and know how to be considerate of servants! But since you know how to be considerate to servants, why don't you know how to be considerate to your ancestors? You have to worry about such trivial matters Old ancestor! Don’t my nephew and daughter-in-law feel that it’s a bit of a fuss!”

After hearing this, Yao Cunhui said solemnly: "Second Aunt's words are wrong! How can this be a trivial matter? If there are words from our house that treat the servants harshly and go out, and lose face, then it is unfilial to the ancestors! Besides, we are the younger generation who handle things. There is no reason for the old ancestor to intervene in person! The old ancestor is the head of the family, so if the rules of the house need to be changed, she must nod her head! Second aunt, do you think this is the case?"

Xue immediately felt a lump of cotton stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down, not to mention how boring it was, but she smiled and said, "Second Aunt will understand after you explain it like this! It's because you thought carefully and thought about it." Zhou Quan! You are worthy of doing business in the rice shop before!"

As soon as Mrs. Xue said these words, the maids and servants who stood by and waited on them all turned pale. They subconsciously lowered their heads while holding their breaths. The people around Yao Cunhui looked angry and gave Mrs. Xue a slight glance.

Yao Cunhui sneered inwardly, everyone in the capital knew that Aunt Xindao was born in the Rice Grain Imperial Merchant's House, and it's not something to be ashamed of, why would you say it?
"That's why my ancestors and my mother-in-law are so relieved to leave things to me! It's my good fortune to have my second aunt to help me!" Yao Cunhui smiled, full of complacency and happiness.

Xue was speechless for a moment.I thought to myself, in the past two days, I have to send an appropriate person to write a letter to Manager Wang of Daqingzhuang, and let him figure it out...

Anyway, she allocated a lot to Daqingzhuang that should have been given to Xiaoqingzhuang in previous years.They eat their own food and spit it out themselves!
Every two days, Mother Zhou, the mother-in-law of Yao's family, came to the door with her two daughters-in-law, kowtowed to meet Yao Cunhui, said with a smile that she was here for Miss San's wedding, and handed over an invitation card.

"The sixth day of February?" Yao Cunhui was stunned when he opened the invitation, and blurted out: "This is too fast! Is this what my father meant?"

Yao Cunhui couldn't help gossiping secretly: Could it be that Yao Cunmei and Zhao Jiyuan did something, so father had to hastily set the wedding date?
"Yes," Zhou's mother nodded, and quickly explained: "On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Zhao, the future third son-in-law, moved out of our house. The young master said that he specially found an eminent monk to meet him. On the sixth day of the second lunar month, his birthday and the third lady's birthday are the same. If you miss that day, you will have to wait until October to have a good day. Third Miss, go through the door!"

Yao Cunhui nodded lightly when she heard the words. Anyway, Yao Cunmei is definitely going to marry Zhao Jiyuan, and it doesn’t make any difference if it’s earlier or later. Since Zhao Jiyuan said so, it’s okay for Dad to follow suit. Maybe he will throw this trouble out early, and Dad will feel relieved In one go!
"Isn't this a bit too urgent?" Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "I have the house, furniture, and daily necessities? Is everything ready for the marriage? After all, the third sister is the daughter of our family. The superior is wronged! Did father send someone to look at Mr. Zhao?"

Zhou's mother nodded, "If you go back to the princess, it's just that the old slave took people to look at it. The house is in the auspicious alley in the north of the city, with two courtyards, five main rooms, left and right wing rooms and an inverted warehouse. Furniture and so on are all there. It is a new addition, and now everything is being moved in. Hehe, let alone compared with the princess, it is far worse than our Yao Mansion, but everyone knows Mr. Zhao's background, and it is already rare to be able to do this! He I don’t have many friends in the capital, so it’s enough to keep everything simple! After marriage, he found a school to teach, and he can also support the third lady! It’s just that life is naturally harder, it’s not as good as ours!”

Zhou's mother couldn't help but sighed a little sadly as she said that, she said in her heart that there are unpredictable things in the sky, Mr. Zhao is such a good person, and whether he is knowledgeable, everyone said that he is expected to go to high school, but he didn't want to but fell to this situation!The Yao family is also well-known in the capital, and they were engaged to him before this, so naturally it is impossible to regret the marriage because of this!After all, it was Miss San who was unlucky!However, Mr. Zhao is also a responsible person. He has not become depressed or eccentric because of this, and with the support of the Yao family, the life of the third lady will not be sad.

From this point of view, Zhao Jiyuan intends to live in the capital for a long time!For some reason, Yao Cunhui suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"You told my father so much, but my father didn't say anything?" Yao Cunhui asked again with a smile.

Zhou's mother also laughed and said: "The master frowned for a while, and asked the old slave and the housekeeper to go to Mr. Zhao again, saying that the Yao family's big courtyard with three entrances in the capital and all the furniture in the courtyard were taken away. I gave it to him, but Mr. Zhao refused to take it, saying that if the master wants to give it to me, I will just give it to Miss San as a dowry!"

Mother Zhou sympathized and sighed as she spoke, she just praised Zhao Jiyuan for being a good person!
Only Yao Cunhui sneered and disdainful in his heart, coaxing his wife's dowry to use, Zhao Jiyuan is the best in the world, Yao Cunmei's kind of brainless, he might be sold by him and count the money for him!What is the difference between giving Yao Cunmei and giving him?With such a evasion, he would have gained a clear name first, presumably Xiu Shu, who is sitting in the hall, can get more!

But, is he really willing to be a sitting gentleman?
"Since that's the case, then let's do it like this!" Seeing that there was nothing left to ask, Yao Cunhui nodded and smiled and said, "Go back and tell Dad, you just said that I will go home in two days to add makeup to the third sister. Day, will naturally go back to congratulate!"

"Yes, the old slave will not bother the princess! The old slave will leave!" Zhou's mother hurriedly bowed and agreed, and the well-dressed maid led her out of Xihe Hall, and then the mother-in-law led her to the second gate.

Mother Zhou couldn't help sighing secretly, the third lady has always been competitive, married to such a man, and there is the second lady in front of her for comparison, if she meets the second lady on the day she leaves the court, maybe something will happen!It's just that my younger sister is out of the cabinet, so there's no reason why the second miss won't be there!
In Xihe Hall, Yao Cunhui held the red and gold-plated wedding invitation and pondered for a moment, then ordered Mama Rong to pass on Qianshan to explain carefully.Zhao Jiyuan, she decided to send someone to check it out herself.

No one expected that the small Buddhist hall where Mrs. Xiao was staying suddenly caught fire one night!The soaring flames dyed half of the sky red, pierced the sky, and almost illuminated the entire mansion!The air was full of flying soot and filled with a strong smell of fireworks.
