"This is too bullying!" Qin slapped on the case, angrily said: "Just relying on how much money I have to do whatever I want, to humiliate my Qing'er like this in front of my sisters, can it be that Qing'er Isn't she her sister? I don't know how many uneducated people can do such a thing!"
Qin's anger was hard to dissipate, he felt his mouth was dry, and he picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips.
Seeing that Qin Shi seemed to rush to the door to settle accounts with Lu Xiaoshu, Xiu Rong couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and hurriedly persuaded: "Second Madam, calm down, you know the temper of Third Miss, let's forget about this matter! Slave servant Tell Madam, I really can't bear to see Miss San being wronged! Madam, you just know it in your heart, now you are in charge of this inner house, when is it not a chance to teach her a lesson?"
The Qin family really wanted to rush to the door to make a fuss with Mu Qing, but after hearing what Xiurong said, she calmed down a bit, nodded with a sneer and said, "You are right, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! It ruined my daughter's reputation! Pooh, isn't it just two pieces of broken jewelry, it's hard to see who hasn't seen it!" Can't help but scold Lu Xiaoshu again.
"You've done a good job, go back and serve the third lady well! Advise the third lady, don't let her get sick, it's not worth it for such a small thing! Let's not have the same knowledge as that little woman, go Let's go!" Relieved, Qin ordered Xiurong.
Xiurong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed to go.
The more Qin thought about it, the more depressed she became, leaning on the couch with her head tilted and her elbows propped up, thinking about how to give Jing Mingtang a good look.
It's a pity that all the people she had arranged to stay there before were sent back. Although a mother Liu and a chrysanthemum were left behind, it was obviously inconvenient to contact them at this time!
It is obvious that there is no way to do anything in Jingmingtang.
As for food and so on, let alone neglect or tamper with. After all, Lu Wenxuan is the Marquis. Although she is in charge of the inner house, he is the serious master of the Hou Mansion. If Lu Wenxuan treats him badly in terms of food, as long as Lu Wenxuan says a word, maybe the kitchen will no longer be hers. !
The same goes for the laundry room.
You must know that there is still a Mao family watching by the side.
After much deliberation, Mrs. Qin couldn't think of any perfect solution, so she couldn't help but secretly feel depressed and depressed, so she could only grit her teeth and comfort herself: Forget it, the future is long, and there will always be suitable opportunities!
Within two days, the opportunity came.
Each room has to pay a certain amount of living expenses to the public house every month, after breakfast that day, Qin came to Jingming Hall in person and told Mu Qing about it.
This is the rule of the family, and Mu Qing has nothing to say, but as soon as the Qin family asked for six hundred taels, Mu Qing frowned slightly and remained silent.
"Sister-in-law, elder brother is Lord Hou. Your food and clothing costs are much better than those of our second and third bedrooms. The best things in the house, except for your mother, are for you first. The best food and dishes are delivered first." The clothes sent to the laundry room here, from yours, are also cleaned most carefully and quickly, and the fresh fruits offered by the Zhuangzi and the flowers sent from the flower house are also the best. The cost, of course, will be higher! Now It's just a season, but if it's a festival or some special day, it will cost even more!" Qin said with a smile.
"Human relationship?" Mu Qing couldn't help but raised her head slightly and asked back. Is it possible to book out a large room for human relations
"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand!" Qin smiled and said, "The relationship between the family is naturally out of the public. What I'm talking about is the relationship between the elder brother and the outside! The elder brother is very valuable now. When the New Year's day comes, you You know, I don’t know how many people are here for Eldest Brother, isn’t that—hehe, naturally you have to pay for it yourself! But Eldest Brother has so much salary, this kind of thing is nothing more than a trivial matter to you!”
I see!
Mu Qing sneered slightly in her heart: Do you have a relationship with Dafang? That's really nice! Husband becomes Marquis of Changping, isn't the entire Lu family benefiting? She doesn't believe that the second and third bedrooms don't borrow the slightest momentum, but this is good, the matter of paying the money will be clearly divided on the head of the first bedroom...
Compared with more than ten years ago, this second younger sibling is still the same temperament, it hasn't changed at all!
It's a pity that she is no longer the Mu Qing she was more than ten years ago.
Mu Qing lowered her head as if in deep thought, but didn't answer for a while.
Qin surreptitiously looked at her, unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, and contempt spontaneously arose.
What she despises the most is Mu Qing's temperament. She is obviously reluctant in her heart, but she can't say a word of rejection!
She was like this in the past, but she didn't expect it to be like this now. Of course, even if she refused, she would not agree.
Even when it comes to the old lady, she can't find any mistakes in her words! In addition, the old lady looked down on Mu Qing, so how could she not help herself? This money, she wants her out!
Just think about it slowly, this is only the first month, next month, it's not just six hundred taels! Qin sneered secretly in her heart.
After waiting for a while, Mu Qing still didn't speak.
Qin Shi became a little impatient, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law?"
"Huh?" Mu Qing raised her head and looked at her in confusion, as weak as a dewy flower in the morning mist.
"Sister-in-law, what else do you want to say?" Qin said with a smile: "Six hundred taels of silver is nothing to sister-in-law! Hehe, this set of porcelain teacups must be more than six hundred taels!"
"How can I be so rich!" Mu Qing smiled and said: "The things in this house were bought two years ago. After I came to Beijing, I spent a lot of money. Now I really don't have that much on hand. ! Well, I thought about what the second sibling said just now, but I couldn’t figure it out for a while!”
Mu Qing smiled embarrassingly, "To tell you the truth, my second brother and sister, I really feel a headache when I see and hear these accounts, and I have to spend a lot of effort to figure it out. But this way It will inevitably delay the work of the second younger brother and sister! How about this, I will leave this matter to Huamao, and the second brother and sister might as well send someone to talk to Huamao in detail, how much should be paid later Silver, I'll pay for it!"
What Qin wanted was for her to pay the money. Mu Qing had already said it, but she didn't take anything else to heart. She immediately nodded happily and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really a careful person! Okay, then this matter That's it! Then I'll let Mammy Xi explain it to her in detail!"
Qin's heart was secretly proud. If she knew it was so easy to ask for money, she should ask for more. But it's nothing, the future is long!
As Qin Shi said, she got up and said goodbye.
Mu Qing sent them off with a smile, and Dang even told Madam Hua to go to the conference hall to find Madam Xi later, and to settle this matter early, so she couldn't drag the money from the public.
After hearing this, Qin Shi felt even more at ease.
Unexpectedly, some things are not convenient for Mu Qing to say, but it does not mean that it is not convenient for Madam Hua to say them.
For example, if Mu Qing had to look at the kitchen account book for the day-to-day calculations of what food she ate, she would look petty, and she obviously didn't trust Qin, so Qin would beat her up and talk to Mrs. Lu. Sue the wronged capital.
But Madam Hua held the attitude of being responsible for her master's explanation, the more careful she checked, the more serious her attitude was, and no one could say anything wrong with her.
Madam Hua was not polite, she went to check and ask about the kitchen ledger, laundry room, and flower room in person, and the result can be imagined.
Among other things, the kitchen ledger can be checked for what dishes were purchased on which day and what dishes were delivered to which room. There is no obvious difference between what is sent to the first room and what is sent to the second and third rooms . Mammy Hua then asked Mammy Xi how much the second and third wards paid for it every month, Mammy Xi hesitated a bit...
After investigating several things one after another, Qin Shi, who hadn't expected it at all, suddenly choked up, his teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing he could do!
How could she have imagined that Mu Qing could play with her mind! It seems that Mrs. Feng is right, this woman is becoming more and more cunning now!
She was the one who took it lightly!
When Nanny Hua politely asked Qin for an answer with an expression on her face, Qin was so angry that she couldn't help but smile and call herself "confused", and praised Nanny Hua for being careful! All the responsibilities are thrown down.
"I have told you a long time ago that the identities of elder brother and sister-in-law are different from ours, so we must take extra care in everything, and you must not wrong elder brother and sister-in-law! Who knows that those things that are obedient and obedient don't take my words seriously, Turn your back and forget about it! I don’t have the reason to stare at them all day and night. It’s not counting as if they did what they asked. Find out, otherwise, I'd be ashamed to death, how can I have the face to see my sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Qin laughed as she spoke, with a very embarrassed smile, "I'll wait until I've been busy for a while, and I'll make amends to my sister-in-law! Madam Hua, it's really hard work for you! In front of my sister-in-law, it's imperative that you explain something to me first, But please don't let my sister-in-law have a lump in her heart!"
"Second madam is serious!" Nanny Hua hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the second madam was also concealed by the people below. Our wife has always been the most kind-hearted and reasonable, and the second madam knows this! Old slave Go back and tell our wife, she will definitely not blame the second lady!"
"That's good, that's good!" Qin smiled again as if relieved.
"Then this money—" Sister Hua laughed along.
"Let's do it, I'll go there after I figure it out!" Qin thought and smiled.
"Alright, then the old slave will go back and report to the eldest lady!" Nanny Hua bowed her knees and retreated.
As soon as she left, Qin Shi began to rub her chest, her face darkened.
This time, she underestimated the enemy, so she confessed!
