Chapter 110 Daily life of husband and wife!
The highest official in charge of the country's prisons and one of the country's three major judicial chiefs, the current Dali Siqing is indeed a smart man.After receiving the post from Chunyu and asking why, Dali Siqing directly ordered the guards to dispatch to seize all the private properties that Lai Dalai and Lai's family had secretly bought over the years.When arresting Lai Da and Lai Er's family, they went to the door in person and promised to You Mei that such evil slaves who betrayed the master would be severely punished.
Lai everyone cried to death in front of Jiamu, complaining that she was wronged, and asked Jiamu to try to save her family.
Mother Jia was so heartbroken by Lai everyone's crying, and when she was about to claim her identity as the wife of a superior country, she was met with a charming and cool look, and her cold and heartless gaze immediately made Mother Jia's pleading words difficult. I can't say it anymore, I can only watch helplessly as the officials put the shackles on Lai everyone who was crying to death, and escorted him out of the door.
"Boss, daughter-in-law, what do you want to do? It's me, the old man who is beside my mother-in-law..."
"It doesn't matter if it's an old man. The laws and regulations of the country are there. It's not that an old lady can get away with just saying that she is an old man by your side."
Charming raised a sneer, and continued in a very blunt tone: "The old lady knows how much the two good sons born to Nanny Lai have dug from the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia. Not to mention those things, they can all be called high-quality goods. As far as the furnishings are concerned, Lai Da took a full 20 taels of silver from the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention a full 50 taels of silver from the Ningguo Mansion. Old lady, don’t give Tell Ben Gong that it was earned by their family, Ben Gong is not stupid, he can figure it out clearly, he sold himself to become a family and gave birth to a child, and fortunately the master favored him as the manager's thing, how much is the reward plus monthly money after a year .”
Mei Mei's aura at this time is really compelling, even Dali Temple Minister who came to the door to catch the rat in person dare not look directly at her, let alone others.Even Jia Mu, an old lady who has been living in front of Meimei for several years and wants to be a demon from time to time, and was pushed back as soon as she was a demon, began to feel a little confused.
Charming glanced at Jia's mother coolly again, and then told Dali Temple Secretary to let him lock up Lai Dalai's second family for a little longer, and then randomly sentence them to exile for three thousand miles. They are in the same boundary of the capital as themselves, breathing the same air.
With so much money and furnishings as the background, it is appropriate for Lai Dalai and Lai Er's family to be imprisoned.Since the charming princess wants Lai Dalai and his family to enjoy the treatment of exile for three thousand miles, as a courtier, Dali Siqing naturally has no reason not to be dissatisfied.Immediately, he said positively that he would definitely follow Her Royal Highness's instructions and let the Lai family shine and shine together in the bitter cold of the border.
She nodded charmingly and satisfied, and after Dali Temple Minister took her leave, she ordered that Mother Jia, who was very hurt today, be sent back to Rongqing Hall.
Charming followed the way and ordered: "Let the concierge keep a close eye on me, don't let Nanny Lai and her grandson Lai Shangrong, who was born free, go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, the old lady is not in good health. , if you are frightened by this thing that scooped up the face of the old master (referring to Mrs. Jia) and came to beg for mercy, be careful that I will pick your skin."
The little maids present all shuddered and said repeatedly that they knew.Seeing this, Wu Mei went back to Rongxi Hall in satisfaction.
A few days later, Jing Er's sister-in-law came to the door again, chatting with Wu Mei about the follow-up of the matter.
"Does the princess know that the verdict on the son of the Lai family who betrayed the master has been handed down? All the sons of the Lai family, except Nanny Lai and Lai Shangrong, who have been deprived of slavery, have all been sentenced to exile for three thousand miles and will never be able to return to Beijing." sin."
"The verdict has been handed down. The current Minister of Dali Temple is quite neat in his work." Wu Mei slightly nodded, and then asked Second Sister-in-law Jing, "Have you returned all the money?"
"I'm back, I'm back. There is a big Buddha like the princess sitting in Rongning and Ningxia. The Lai family will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die. Who dare not return it."
Although it is true that the Lai family earned it himself, the Ningguo Mansion only needs 50 taels of silver and some decorations from Lai Ergian, and the rest goes to the Rongguo Mansion, and the second sister-in-law has nothing to say, because this is the charming statue. The Buddha deserved it, otherwise the evidence would not have been found so quickly, and the money would not have been returned so quickly.After all, so many yamen servants are busy, so they have to wipe off a layer of hair no matter what.The only thing that Second Sister-in-Law Jing regrets now is why she didn't order the concierge of Ningguo Mansion to lock it up, and let Nanny Lai come to the door to plead for mercy in order to save the old master's face.
And that Jiao Da who saved the master and begged for his kindness, thinking of him, Jing Er's sister-in-law felt a little headache.Originally, being a slave and saving the master's son was the right thing to do, but after Jia Daihua's death, he became more and more dependent on the old.
Why did your ancestors earn this family business after a narrow escape, and now, instead of repaying my kindness, they acted as masters with me instead.Regardless of the family business earned by the old Duke, his children and grandchildren's failure is nothing to do with others.As a descendant of Duke Ning, why is he not Jiao Da's master.So don't blame Second Sister Jing, who is the head wife of Ningguo Mansion, for not liking him.
"This Jiao Da is old, it's really hard to do anything anymore. Since he has the merit of the savior, let's support him well. It won't cost much money to rely on the family property of Ningguo Mansion."
Jing Er's sister-in-law thought about it seriously, and had to admit that what she said was quite reasonable.
It's better to be supported than to be ignored...
Moreover, if Jiao Da continues to let Jiao Da get drunk and swear, Jing Er Sister-in-law always has a feeling that one day, Jiao Da, who has no control over his mouth and likes to ask for favors, will publicize some unspeakable things in Ningguo Mansion. Everyone knows.
So let's take care of it, anyway, as the princess said, it doesn't cost much.Even if she spent too much money, she should spend money to buy something safe.
After Jing Er's sister-in-law figured it out, she quickly left and went back to Ningguo Mansion to make arrangements.
After Jing Er's sister-in-law left, Chun Yu said to Mei Mei in a rather staggering way: "Princess, it's really amazing that a servant can do the job of Jiao Da in Ningguo Mansion!"
I want to clean it up. They have credit for saving old Duke Ning's life, so they can only see what is out of sight, or be more generous, so that they can take care of Jiao Da. After all, the credit for saving old Duke Ning's life lies in That's it.
The reason why Chunyu was speechless was because she was educated since she was a child that everything should be done with the master first, and it is right for a slave to save the master. How could she become a slave and be kind to the master!The water here is a bit deep, Shu Chunyu couldn't figure it out in her head.
Xia Yu also couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it at all, and instead echoed what You Mei had said to persuade Second Sister-in-law Jing: "What the princess said earlier is reasonable, but it's just a matter of spending some money, anyway, Second Sister-in-law Jing doesn't need to take care of it herself..."
"It's not certain," Chun Yu said with a bit of a thug: "Maybe that Jiao Da regards himself as an elder and wants the masters of Rongguo Mansion to support him personally, otherwise we can say 'now, don't report me. Well, it’s the words that you’re pretending to be the master with me instead!”
"No way."
Xia Yu's eyes widened, apparently unable to believe what she heard.
Charming at the side chuckled: "Chunyu, you are so good at thinking, why don't you go to heaven?"
"Princess shouldn't talk about slaves." Chun Yu pursed her mouth, trying to make herself look aggrieved and said: "It should be said that the servants of Ningguo Mansion are so capable, we can't go to heaven!"
This time, she smiled so charmingly that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her stomach was still throbbing in pain.
"Next time I say it in front of Second Sister Jing, I'm sure Second Sister Jing will be very happy."
Chun Yu and Xia Yu remembered the painful and sad expression that Jing Er's sister-in-law had every time she picked up someone, and immediately burst out laughing.The three master and servant laughed so loudly that Xiao Guan Guan, who was playing with building blocks, rolled his eyes helplessly.Her mother, her Aunt Chunyu, and Aunt Xia Yu became more and more unrestrained, and sometimes even her little one couldn't bear it.
The little girl, Miss Jia Guan, who couldn't stand it, tilted her head, and knocked down the building blocks that had been built with great difficulty, and then ran to the charming face with two chubby legs, and pulled her clothes. Nuo Nuo said: "Mother, Xiao Guan Guan wants to eat cold cake..."
It is now May, and the weather is already hot, and some small snacks to drive away the heat and cool off are also placed on the table.The cold cake in Xiaoguanguan's mouth is a local specialty snack in Sichuan.It is made of rice, well water, and brown sugar. It is delicious, sweet and soft, and refreshing and delicious.
The chefs in Rongguo Mansion make cold cakes. In addition to the brown sugar boiled sugar water, there are plenty of them. Sometimes they add some things such as mung beans, red beans, jujubes, honey, and fresh orange petals. repeat.
You must know that Xiaoguanguan is a master who likes sweets. The cold cake tastes sweet and soft. Xiaoguanguan fell in love with it the first time he ate it. When summer comes and the weather is hot, Xiaoguanguan wants Eat a bowl of cold cake.
"Xia Yu, go to the small kitchen and have a look yourself, and ask the people in the small kitchen to cut the cold cake made this morning into two small pieces. Remember not to chill it."
Youmei was afraid that Xiaoguanguan would be small and would get stomach upset if he ate too much iced cold cake, so every time Xiaoguanguan ate cold cakes that had not been chilled in the ice cellar, it was the same this time.After Xia Yu arrived at the kitchen, she ordered the staff in the small kitchen to cut into two pieces the cold red bean cake I made this morning, and mix it with brown sugar water boiled with ancient well water and cooled.He took it himself and sent it to Xiaoguanguan who was waiting to eat.
Xia Yu brought two bowls of cold cakes, one big and one small.The small bowl is naturally from Xiaoguanguan, while the big bowl is charming.
Charming eating cold cakes is called an elegant, small mouthful, often greedy little Guan Guan finished a small bowl, and she didn't move much from a large bowl.At this time, Xiao Guan Guan stopped making noise, but sat obediently on the stool and asked Chun Yu to wipe her mouth.
"Mother, my daughter wants to visit Big Brother Zhu." Sitting on a small stool, Xiao Guan Guan said obediently.
"Brother Zhu has been ill for a while. As a cousin, you really should visit." Wu Mei put down the half-moved cold cake, wiped her mouth, and ordered: "Xia Yu, today you Don't be too busy checking with Manager Lin (Lin Zhixiao) about the bank account, and accompany Xiao Guanguan to the South Courtyard."
The reason why Yumei ordered Xia Yu instead of sex was mainly because Xia Yu was a doctor who knew how to treat Jia Zhu. When he saw Jia Zhu's face, he could tell whether he was seriously ill or not.After experiencing Jia Zhu's serious illness and passing out at home, Wang Nianhui has regained her love for Jia Zhu, but she is pregnant now, she eats and drinks well, and doesn't have any strong pregnancy reactions, but her spirit It's still a bit ineffective, and it is inevitable that there will be some negligence.And Jia Zhu is very thoughtful, so she might hide her illness so that Wang Nianhui doesn't have to worry.
Charming has always been indifferent to adults except Jia She, but she can't be too cruel to cubs, no matter who they are.So letting Xia Yu go to visit with Xiao Guanguan is really a rare display of compassion.
Xia Yu also understood the intention of Yu Mei asking her to go with her, and immediately pursed her lips to promise that she would handle things properly, then hugged Xiao Guanguan, led the servant girl, and went to the south courtyard in a mighty manner.
After chatting with Chun Yu for a while, Wu Mei felt a little sleepy, since she went to the room where the soft straw mat had been spread, she had a little rest.
Chunyu sat on the threshold doing needlework for a while, and then a little maid came to report that Zhou Rui had already collected the annual rent from the tenants who rented the land in Rongguo Mansion, and asked Chunyu to go over and check. .
Chunyu is a little strange. "Isn't this something that should be done with copper coins? Why did you come to me?"
The little maid was a little hesitant, and under Chunyu's persuasive eyes, she couldn't hold on, and replied in a low voice: "So that Aunt Chunyu can know that it was Zhou Rui who said that Big Brother Tongqian didn't do it carefully and couldn't compare to Chunyu. The two aunts, Xia Yu, are careful, so let me see if the two aunts are there, and if they are, please go and check the rent."
Chun Yu sneered, "Zhou Rui really has a lot of thoughts this week, you go back and tell him, it's best to let him clean up his messy intestines, lest the princess find out and have his good fruit to eat."
The little maid let out a hey, and immediately ran out of Rongxi Hall, presumably to go to Zhou Rui to answer her.
Chunyu rolled a few big eyes at the back of the little maid, and finally couldn't bear to continue doing needlework, so she recruited a rough envoy in the yard who could only use her strength and do some rough work, and let her go Talk to the gold bricks who stayed in the study and helped Jia Shen sort out.
"When you see Big Brother BRIC, you say that Steward Zhou can't find anyone with copper coins, and ask him to go and check with Steward Zhou on the newly collected rent when he has free time."
After the old woman answered, Chunyu put away her sewing and walked into the room.At this time, Meimei had already woken up from a short break, and was lazily leaning on the soft bed, yawning gracefully.
"What's the matter, what are you?" Wu Mei is still very sensitive to the emotional changes of these two caring girls. Although Chunyu still has the usual expression, Wu Mei still feels that something is wrong, and she feels that this girl is sulking.
Asking in a charming and soft voice, Chunyu's eyes were reddened immediately, and she revealed Zhou Rui's malicious intentions.
Charming and contemplating for a moment, she suddenly said: "Remove all the managers except Lin Zhixiao, and tell the gold bricks, silver ingots, and copper coins that the rent collection in the future will be the responsibility of the three of them."
Even the female officials around her dared to make up their minds, they were so courageous, they didn't speak spring language, Xia Yuzi combed herself and didn't want to marry, even if she wanted to marry, he was worthy of being a servant.Dare to use this kind of superficial thoughts, she really thinks that her Chun Yu and Xia Yu are as stupid as him, but their hearts are higher than the sky!
Chunyu wiped his eyes, and said in a vicious tone: "They should be dismissed, lest they think that the slaves are easy to bully, and jump around in front of the slaves." Lin Zhixiao is fine, he is married Yes, you don't need to move if you are in charge, but Zhou Rui and others, some are widowers whose wives just died, and some are supposed to get married, but dragged on until they were in their twenties.Chunyu didn't think too much about his idea before, but now that Zhou Rui jumped over the copper coin and came to invite himself or Xia Yu, he can guess what his idea is without thinking about it.
It's really lame □□ eyes are too high, and I don't see if I am worthy of extravagant swan meat.Chun Yu was really flustered by this incident, and when facing the master, Mei Mei, she was still able to maintain a peaceful mind, her eyes turned red to show her grievance.But when Jin Zhuan came to apologize to Chun Yu with silver ingots and copper coins, Chun Yu directly imitated the way of helping the cook in the small kitchen to tidy up people. Really beat them up.
Silver ingot...: I'm so fucking wronged, it's all out of anger.
Xia Yu led Xiao Guanguan to the south courtyard to visit Jia Zhu who was recovering from illness, and only stayed for a while before returning.It is true that there is an intention to let Jia Zhu take a good rest, and there is also the attitude of Wang Nianhui with her big belly as if she is facing a big enemy.
As soon as he returned to Rongxi Hall, Xiao Guanguan fell asleep.Charming asked Xiao Guan Guan to rest and take a nap on the soft straw mat in the room.Children are easy to fall asleep, and Xiao Guan Guan lay on the soft bed, covered with a thin woolen blanket, and soon fell asleep.
The three master and servant went to the outer room to talk.
Xia Yu told about Jia Zhu's illness, and said: "Brother Zhu's illness, my servant took a closer look at it and found that it is not serious, but it must be taken care of carefully, so as not to be easily affected. If you stay up late and read books like before, it will hurt your mind. , I'm afraid I won't live long."
Charming nodded: "Have you told Mrs. Wang that?"
"No." Xia Yu replied: "It's not that the servant doesn't want to say it, but because the second wife is so nervous that the servant doesn't know what to say, so I have to come back and tell the princess, and if the princess tells the son-in-law, How the son-in-law handles this matter is the son-in-law's business."
"Well, you're right. The son-in-law should really say that, after all, he's his own nephew."
Mei Mei shook a palace fan with peacock blue feathers, half covered her mouth with the fan, and yawned delicately.With her movements, the sleeves were half off, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was exposed, making her skin look tender and fair.
"After checking all the rents collected in the mansion, it's time for the Huangzhuang under the name of the palace to collect rents. Whichever is convenient for the two of you, you can go through it yourself."
Chunyu Xiayu replied at the same time, obviously keeping the charming words in mind.
After a while, about half an hour or so.Xiao Guan Guan, who went into the back room for a rest, also woke up.
"Are you hungry?" Wu Mei tidied up the creases on Xiao Guanguan's skirt, frowned and looked at it for a while, then removed the bun on Xiao Guanguan's head except for the bun, and combed it for Xiao Guanguan herself. hair.
Xiao Guan Guan's hair is very soft, with a little yellowish at the ends, but it is abundant and dense, combed into a hairstyle suitable for a little girl, not to mention how pretty it is.Of course, there are good genes in it.As Jia She is the most beautiful man in the capital, Xiao Guan Guan looks like him, a perfect embryo of a beauty.
"I remember that at the beginning of the new year, my father asked Wan Gonggong to send some gems of various colors to the palace. I remember that there seemed to be pink gems in it. After a while, you open the warehouse to find them, so that the craftsmanship is exquisite. The master goldsmith here made a set of jewelry for Xiao Guanguan. Girls are pretty, so they are suitable for those pink and bright yellow ones. Although Zhenghong is good, it adds a little old-fashioned."
"Princess is right. Our little princess is pretty and cute, and I have to dress up to be cute and cute..." Chunyu smiled and echoed the charming words, and said: "I remember that there seemed to be some pink, pink and purple in the storeroom." The jade embryos (referring to the original jade that has not been adorned), the servants will find out after a while, and use these pink and pink jade embryos to make some jade hairpins and jade hairpins suitable for the little princess..."
"What's the use of talking, sister Chunyu, hurry up and prepare it." Xia Yu, who brought lunch from the small kitchen, entered the room, and after hearing the long series of words Chunyu said, she hurriedly teased her.Chun Yu glared at Xia Yu pretending to be vicious, and after calling out 'bad girl', she was the first to laugh uncontrollably.
"Come on, stop making jokes in this palace, what should you do?"
After Mei Mei 'pushed' Chun Yu and Xia Yu to do something, she and Xiao Guan Guan had lunch together.The lunch is very simple, and the taste is light and healthy.Of course, according to Xiaoguanguan's sweet nature, the bowl of custard stewed for her is still sweet.And compared to the bean curd that the small kitchen staff made on the spur of the moment, Xiao Guan Guan's bowl of bean curd was also sweet.
Now that he is getting older, Xiao Guanguan has restrained himself from eating.No matter how much you like sweets, you will not take sweets as a meal.Usually together with the main meal, eat seven to eight full, and then stop eating.
The same is true for Meimei, but her taste is light and she doesn't like sweets, so she used a bowl of millet porridge, and a bowl of salted tofu curd topped with slightly spicy chili oil, sesame seeds, green onions and side dishes, which made her stomach full. When he was full, he stopped and stopped eating.But now Yumei has confirmed that Jia Hu and her future second girl (Jia Yingchun) have taken root in her stomach, so Meimei thought about it, and ate a sweet and sour fish weighing about one catty, and then let it go chopsticks, while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he asked Xiao Guan Guan if he was full.
Xiao Guan Guan nodded obediently, and as an answer, Wu Mei ordered the little maids to remove the leftovers.
"Xiao Guan'er sit down for a while, drink some hawthorn to digest food, and then go to learn the rules from the foster mother."
The sisters and daughters of the royal family are generally over four or five years old, and they are taught the rules by the nurturing mother.It was a special reason that Wu Mei didn't teach the nunnies to teach the rules when she was young.However, ever since Princess An Le Di, who became charming and became a small character Mei Niang, she also began to learn the rules from the foster nuns.
When Xiao Guan Guan was five years old, the mother and nun were ready.Now Xiao Guan Guan has been studying with the foster mother for nearly a year, and her words and deeds are quite different from usual. Even if she just sits on the side and keeps silent, she still has a demeanor that belongs exclusively to the royal family.
