On the morning of the second day, Mother Zhou knocked down the candidate for the foreign affairs mother in front of everyone in Ziwei Academy.
Sure enough, it was Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Liu.
Wei Wei, who was full of smiles, froze on her face, and everyone looked at her in surprise. Of course, some were dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude yesterday, so they gloated.
Those who had such good things even went up to ask Mammy Zhou: "Didn't you say yesterday that Mammy Wei was set? Why did it suddenly change to Mammy Liu?"
Mammy Zhou rolled up her sleeves and glanced at the man with a blank expression: "Who is talking nonsense outside, guessing the mind of the master? I don't remember which master ever promised others errands." After saying this He turned around and left, leaving behind everyone who whispered.
Wei Wei's face was red and white, and she looked at Liu Wei and Niu's sister-in-law surrounded by everyone, she snorted coldly, and walked away.
When everyone's enthusiasm dissipated, Madam Zhu gave Madam Liu a wink and went straight back to her room. Seeing this, Mama Liu exchanged a few words with everyone, and when everyone had dispersed, she quietly followed. Arriving in Mammy Zhu's room, Mammy Liu was overjoyed and stepped forward to give her a blessing: "Mammy Zhu is really capable, this time it's all thanks to you for being a good girl."
Mammy Zhu smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Although I did my best, I want you to be able to get on the stage. You must know that the lord above us is not easy to fool." Mammy glanced, "Since it's already done, that note doesn't know about you..." This was to remind Mammy Liu to cash out twenty taels of silver.
Madam Liu patted her forehead: "Look at me, I'm happy to patronize." Then she took out a purse from her sleeve pocket, took out the note written by Madam Zhu yesterday, and handed it over. Madam Zhu Mammy continued to stare at Mammy Liu's movements without saying a word.
Madam Liu hesitated for a moment when she took out the money, but then she smiled and took out two ingots of about five or two weights, and handed them over respectfully.
Mammy Zhu looked at but did not answer, staring at Mammy Liu with a half-smile but not saying a word.
Mama Liu said with a smile: "I don't have much cash on me..."
Madam Zhu glanced at Madam Liu's purse with a smile, and backhanded Madam Liu's hand back: "I said yesterday, it's really refreshing to help you all because of you. Look... Well, I still don't want this money, but... don't forget, the final decision on this person will take place after the New Year, even if you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, isn't it too early?"
When Liu mama heard the words, she felt a "squeak" in her heart, and in the blink of an eye, she clapped her hands with both hands as if she had remembered something: "After reading this memory." After speaking, she touched her waist, and in the end she felt it for no apparent reason. A few taels of silver came out, and together with the 10 taels of silver that had been taken out before, they were held in front of Madam Zhu with both hands.
"This is the shocking silver I hid in my belt before, but I forgot, it happened to be five taels."
Madam Zhu smiled slightly, and then answered: "As expected, I didn't see the wrong person..."
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door, and Zhu mama frowned. She put the silver in her sleeves and stepped forward a few steps. She opened the door and looked out, but there was nothing.
"What's the matter? Someone is outside?" Madam Liu also came over.
Madam Zhu thought for a while and shook her head: "If it's the wind, it's fine. You go back first."
Madam Liu responded, and before she left, she didn't forget to smile and said, "At that time, there is still something to rely on for the old sister, and please don't forget the sister."
Madam Zhu smiled reservedly and sent Madam Liu out.
After the people left, she took out the money she just got and took a closer look, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little disdainful and a little satisfied: "I still want to play that trick with me, huh—"
Over there, Ren Yaoqi was sitting in the Xici room in the main room drinking tea slowly, when she saw Zhou Mama come in, she raised her eyes and glanced at her: "How's it going?"
Mother Zhou stepped forward and bowed her head: "It has been arranged according to Miss's instructions." After that, she looked at Ren Yaoqi with some hesitation and said, "Miss, is it really useful to do this?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Mammy Zhou with a smile, and blinked a little naughty rarely: "Mamma might as well just have a look."
"But there are a lot of people stuffed by Aunt Fang..."
"The beauty of having more people." After Ren Yaoqi said this, he picked up a cup of tea and drank tea. Although Zhou mama still had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask any more.
In the afternoon, for some unknown reason, Madam Liu bribed Madam Zhu in private, and the news that the two colluded to squeeze Madam Wei down spread like wildfire.
Although she didn't know whether the news was true or not, Wei Wei was very angry. In the evening, when the masters went to the Ronghua Court to say good night, he stood with his waist on his back in the courtyard of the backyard and yelled at him.
After all, Mama Liu was still a little guilty. She was so angry that she didn't dare to go out to defend herself.
Mammy Zhu may be thick-skinned, or maybe she understands that this matter is actually the master's intention. .
Fortunately, Wei Wei also knew something very powerful. When she heard that the masters were coming back to the yard, she shut up, spit at Liu Wei's door and left.
But in the evening, there was another good person who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and secretly told the person who leaked the news to Madam Liu.
It turned out to be her nemesis, Guan Ma. She heard about it from nowhere, and then told the old ladies in the backyard.
When Madam Liu heard the words, she was even more annoyed at Madam Guan in her heart. Early the next morning, seeing Mammy Guan's schadenfreude smiling face, Mammy Liu clenched her teeth and took the boiling water on the stove and poured it at Mama Guan.
Mammy Guan jumped away with a howl like killing a pig. Fortunately, the weather was cold, Mammy Liu didn't splash it properly, and only splashed some water on Mammy Guan's boots.
Guan Ma was furious when she reacted, screaming and pounced on it. The two fought in the small kitchen where the hot water was being boiled. In the end, there was too much movement, which alarmed Mrs. Li, who sent Mrs. Zhu over to see what happened.
Madam Zhu reprimanded Madam Liu and Madam Guan with a cold face, then she trained Madam Liu alone for a long time, and then fined both of them for half a month.
But the Liangzi of Guan mama and Liu mama became even bigger.
Seeing that it was the twelfth lunar month, every household became more and more busy. The rooms of the Ren family were also busy changing the decorations in the front and inner rooms of the court. Like the vases and ornaments in the inner room, if the masters are tired of looking at them for a year, they will put some away and put them in the warehouse, and then find fresh ones from the warehouse and display them. The pomegranate bonsai in Ziweiyuan was also asked by the third master to be replaced by Clivia and Narcissus.
