"Miss," Taoyao said angrily while looking at an account book for this month, "Look, the incense in Luoyue City costs two taels of silver for a pack, and even the incense in the capital is not that expensive. What! There is also this candied fruit, but the servants don’t know that the eldest girl eats candied fruit as a main meal every day... "
In the past, Taoyao was only responsible for serving Xiao Fei in Southern Xinjiang. The management and accounts were all Madam Zheng's business. Xiao Fei didn't look at the accounts, so Taoyao certainly didn't pay attention to these, or in other words, she didn't have the opportunity to touch these accounts. Otherwise, Taoyao and the others might not be able to understand other things, but these maids still know the price of these little things at home.
The more Taoyao thought about it, the angrier she became. In the past, she had always looked at Madam Zheng very kindly, and she was also considerate to herself. She didn't want to know people, face but not heart, Madam Zheng must be too courageous, she is the royal family The family gave birth to a child, and she even put her mind on the big girl's money! People die for money, birds die for food, Mother Zheng is desperate!
Thinking about it, Taoyao remembered something. Two years ago, Madam Zheng's daughter Liusu was released from the mansion because of her master's kindness. Later, she heard that her marriage was not bad. At that time, there were discussions in the palace for several days. Many people envied Madam Zheng for finding a good husband-in-law for her daughter. Later, when Tassel’s generous dowry was carried out, Madam Zheng kept saying that she just returned the dowry. When I went back, I added a few more lifts. Now it seems that Mother Zheng may have fed herself with the big girl's money!
"Miss," Taoyao said indignantly, "you can't just let Madam Zheng go like this!" Everyone in this family knows that it is the easiest and most relaxing thing to do in the courtyard of the eldest girl, and the eldest girl has a calm temper. , On weekdays, as long as the servant knows the rules, he never cares too much, even if he makes a mistake, he will be fined a little... If you encounter a bad-tempered master and sell it off casually, that is also a common thing.
But the master is kind, that is not an excuse for the slave to bully the master!
In contrast, Xiao Fei was much calmer, as if she was not the person involved.
Nangong Yue asked calmly, "Sister Fei, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Fei stood up, blessed her body, and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go back to Yuebiju first." Madam Zheng must not be forgiven, but she can't be in Bixiaotang, this is her Yuebi after all. living thing. Besides, we can't let outsiders think that the sister-in-law is picking things up, right?!
Nangong Yue did not keep Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei is also a big girl, sooner or later she will have to deal with these inner house matters independently, otherwise when she gets married in the future, how will she deal with those matters of her husband's family!
only--
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "don't forget that you have both parents and are the eldest daughter of this palace."
In this Luoyue city, in this southern border, it is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Fei is the proud daughter of heaven!
Except for the masters of the palace, who else in this huge southern border would dare to belittle her!
"Sister-in-law, I understand." Xiao Fei nodded thoughtfully, and then left.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Fei and Taoyao, who was carrying a food box account book, returned to Yuebiju, and ordered that Nanny Zheng be called over.
Mother Zheng didn't know that she was going to be in bad luck, so she came again with a smile on her face.
Xiao Fei was sitting on the host seat in the main room, looking at Madam Zheng with cold eyes, Nanny Zheng had a vague premonition in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and saluted respectfully.
"Mother Zheng, I have already read the account book you sent yesterday." Xiao Fei said lightly.
When Xiao Fei said this, Madam Zheng's heart was settled, and she said with a smile: "Miss, you called the slave over here to get those account books."
Xiao Fei cut to the chase and said, "Madam Zheng, I will give you a chance. As long as you admit your mistake and receive the punishment, I will let you go."
Mother Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but she comforted herself that the lights in the eldest girl's study room were turned off so early last night, and it took only half an hour to see what kind of tricks were coming!
The eldest girl is playing tricks against herself, trying to deceive herself!
A look of color flashed in Madam Zheng's eyes, she hadn't read many books, but this way of dealing with people was not seen from books, but experienced through experience.
"Miss, please make it clear. This servant has served the girl for many years and has always done her best. The girl is so indiscriminate that she said that this servant made a mistake. This servant is really wronged!" The posture of crying out for injustice.
Xiao Fei looked at her quietly for a while, then asked Taoyao to show those account books to Mother Zheng, and asked, "Mother Zheng, I only ask you, did you check these account books yourself?"
Madam Zheng nodded, and said with her chest out, "Miss, it's all written down by the servants. The servants have carefully calculated it many times, and they will definitely not be wrong."
"Mother Zheng is really talking nonsense with her eyes open..." Tao Yao couldn't bear to listen anymore, she couldn't help but she saw Xiao Fei raised her hand, signaling her to keep silent.
Xiao Fei said calmly: "Madam Zheng, I've always been the most impatient to argue with others. Since you don't admit your mistake, then I won't tell you more, and you won't come to my place tomorrow." She is the eldest girl of the palace, so why would she have to argue with a servant over trivial matters! Since Madam Zheng dared to do it, she should have foreseen that this day would come!
Madam Zheng turned pale, and shouted dissatisfied: "Miss, slaves are not convinced!"
Xiao Fei's eyes turned cold, and an inherent majesty subconsciously radiated out, "I'm afraid Madam Zheng is used to being the master of the house, and has forgotten her identity! I am the eldest girl of the palace, and I don't need to worry about your obedience." Or if you don't accept it, I want to show some face to Mammy, but it seems unnecessary....Come here!"
As soon as she gave an order, two women came up.
"Mother Zheng is greedy for my master's silver taels, drag Mother Zheng down for me, and give me 20 sticks to make a warning to others!"
When Xiao Fei gave the order, although the two women were astonished in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey, and immediately took the order, dragging Madam Zheng down from left to right.
Madam Zheng's covetousness with her master's money can actually be guessed by anyone in the courtyard with a little discernment, but the eldest girl Xiao Fei has always been indifferent, and Madam Zheng is the mama in charge of the yard, Madam Zheng's mother-in-law Those who served the old concubine in the past even had a bit of face in the palace, who would dare to offend them for nothing!
I never thought that Madam Zheng would have today!
"Miss, this slave is not convinced!" Madam Zheng shouted again, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she couldn't figure out how things would develop like this? Shouldn't the eldest girl confront herself and discuss what happened
Amidst her screams that were so sharp that they almost broke through the roof, she was dragged into the courtyard by two thick women, and then they rode one rod after another. People gathered around to watch, and even those outside the yard came to see what happened...
Yuebiju, which had always been deserted in the past, was surrounded by servants from the backyard in no time!
A rough servant girl cleaning the inner courtyard tried her best to squeeze to the front, while curiously asking a woman next to her: "Ms. Luo, what's going on?"
The woman had hidden her words for a long time, and when someone asked, she couldn't wait to say: "I heard that Madam Zheng was ordered to be punished by the elder girl! Tsk tsk, it's a full twenty boards!" Now Madam Zheng Mama probably will have to lie on the bed for half a month, and lose all face and errands!
"Big girl?!" The rough servant girl blinked in disbelief, "Didn't the big girl always...have a temper, um, the best?" Who doesn't know that the big girl has such a high temper that she is almost silly! Thinking about it, even if it is punished, it is at most copying the "Three Character Classic" or something...
"I heard that Madam Zheng is greedy for the big girl's silver!" Another fat woman said, "Madam Zheng is also true, and she has gained a lot over the years... I don't know when to stop!" : It really deserves it! Madam Zheng made so much money out of it, who wouldn't be jealous.
"But doesn't the eldest girl ignore these things on weekdays? Why did she suddenly..." another maid asked a little strangely.
Several people around looked at each other in blank dismay. It seemed that the eldest girl was quite different after returning from the capital this time. There is a saying: if you are close to vermilion, you will be red; if you are close to ink, you will be black. The eldest girl is so close to the concubine, can't she be influenced by the concubine
Not to mention, all kinds of speculations in the minds of the slaves, but one thing is beyond doubt, it is best for the slaves who are serving as servants in Yue Biju to have a better mind, don't think that the big girl will be as easy to fool as before!
With such a big commotion in Yuebiju, it is naturally impossible not to disturb other people in the palace.
Xiao Fang immediately got a report from a little girl in green clothes, her brows were tightly furrowed and she slapped the table angrily, "Nurse Zheng is so courageous! She even dared to lie to the elder girl's money!"
It is the consensus between the master and the servant that these servants take a little bit of profit from it when they are doing things, but if they are greedy, they are slaves who bully their masters, and it is extremely hateful!
Thinking of the fact that she personally pointed out Madam Zheng to Xiao Fei as the nanny in charge, Xiao Fang gritted her teeth angrily, waved her hand, and the little maid hurriedly backed away.
Xiao Fang said to Nanny Qi in a cold voice: "I trust Nanny Zheng so much and let her take care of Sister Fei's yard. I never thought she would repay me like this!" hateful!
"Ma'am, don't get angry with that villain." Qi Nanny comforted softly, "Anyway, Zheng Nanny's family is in the palace, and Madam's Wuzhishan cannot be found!"
Xiao Fang snorted coldly, how could she be willing to let Madam Zheng go so easily!
Xiao Fang narrowed her eyes slightly, she already had a decision in her heart...
Looking at Xiao Fang's face, Qi Nanny knew that this time, Madam Zheng's family might not end well. But this is the way of the world, one is prosperous and the other is humiliated. When Madam Zheng was in glory, no one in the family was less fortunate, and her daughter Liusu also got a good marriage. Now that Madam Zheng is down and out, this family can only suffer together!
"Actually, Madame should be happy." Nanny Qi said kind words to comfort Xiao Fang, "Looking at it now, the eldest girl has really grown up! She will definitely be able to share the worries for Madam in the future!" Xiao Fei's temper Qi Nanny Momo couldn't understand better, and thought that the eldest girl was like a dead-headed scholar who kept her ears to the outside world all her life, but she didn't expect that now she has realized some things about the inner house.
Xiao Fang's expression softened a little when he heard this, and he nodded: "Yes. Sister Fei has really grown up! She's enlightened!"
But, why does Sister Fei insist on being so close to that Nangong Yue, as if they were her own sisters!
Thinking of this, Xiao Fang was a little displeased again, she frowned, and thoughtfully said: "...you go to Xia Fang's house tomorrow, and let Brother Lei come to the palace in a few days. I haven't seen Brother Lei for a long time. "
Nanny Qi quickly agreed.
The news about Yuebiju naturally spread to Bixiaotang.
It was Que'er who came to report, and she spoke vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes in Yuebiju, and finally sighed: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it is true that I am watching the eldest girl's actions." The demeanor of Princess Fen..."
Nangong Yue smiled, Xiao Fei was actually talented and intelligent, but she didn't like to pay attention to these trivial matters before, this small lesson will definitely make her grow a lot. As a girl in the palace, although she can live in luxury, it is not easy to live a smooth life. Just like Han Qixia...
Thinking of Han Qixia, Nangong Yue still couldn't help but sigh slightly.
