He put on his clothes and hurried to the room.
At this moment, the upper room was in full swing, Yu Qianjiao was disheveled, her face was full of tears, holding Jiang Yuezhen in her hand, insisting that she hid her dowry, Jiang Yuezhen was incoherent in anxiety, insisting that she was innocent, Yu Wei The two big men, Wu and General Yu, watched the quarrel between their aunts and sisters, and were quarreled with each other, but they didn't know who to trust, let alone how to deal with it.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded outside the door: "Miss Six, are you looking for this?"
Yu Qianjiao immediately stopped fighting, looked around, and saw Aunt Mei was wearing a peach red Baidie wearing flower spring shirt, her loose waist just covered her slightly protruding belly, making her plump and graceful. Take it easy.
Aunt Mei held a rectangular black sandalwood jewelry box in her hand, Yu Qianjiao was immediately attracted by the box, and exclaimed in surprise: "This is it!"
Seeing Yu Qianjiao stretching her hand towards her, Aunt Mei handed the box to Yu Qianjiao smoothly, and said with a smile: "See if there is anything missing?"
Yu Qianjiao opened the box and began to count it. After a while, she smiled and said, "Nothing is missing, that's great!"
Seeing that the thing was found, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, only Jiang Yuezhen looked at Aunt Mei suspiciously, and asked, "Where did Auntie find this thing?"
Aunt Mei ignored her, but walked slowly to General Yu, and said with a smile: "I heard that Grandma is going to find the dowry for Miss Six, and I have been helping to take care of it. Later, Miss Six was rewarded. It was Miss Six's nanny who put it away and put it under the silk box. Because Miss Six was young at that time, Madam didn't tell her. Miss Six's nanny, who was born last year, came back from illness When I left my hometown, I forgot to tell Miss Six about this. The box containing the satin was sent to the warehouse and registered as silk, so there was no record of this jewelry on the books. Grandma wanted to buy it from the huge warehouse. Where can I find this little box?"
Jiang Yuezhen's face changed upon hearing this, and she said in a deep voice, "Then how did my aunt know?"
Aunt Mei stood beside General Yu, stretched out her jade hand to pour a cup of tea for General Yu, and said with a smile: "Since my wife passed away, there have been many and complicated things at home. I also want to help the master to share his worries, so I pay more attention. More than that. This pair of red treasure heads, as well as the beeswax and frozen stone bergamot hand that Madam received on her 40th birthday, and the emerald cabbage that Madam gave to the Mu Mansion the year before last, were all that Madam said she would keep for Miss Six, but they were confiscated in the treasury. It's not even registered."
Listening to Aunt Mei talking about the origin and current location of various things, Jiang Yuezhen's face gradually became more ugly. These things were all she had been looking for but could not find, but now Aunt Mei said in detail out.
When Yu Qianjiao heard that there were so many good things, she laughed through her tears and said, "Thank you, Auntie, it's still Auntie who loves me." After she finished speaking, she still gave Jiang Yuezhen a hard look.
Seeing Jiang Yuezhen's pale face, Yu Weiwu said coldly: "You don't regard Yufu as your own home, so why are you willing to do your best for this home? In my opinion, you don't care about this home!"
When Aunt Mei heard this, a look of joy flashed across her eyes, and she immediately lowered her eyes, pretending to be nonchalant.
General Yu coughed and said, "Your wife is also tired, or let her rest!"
Although these words are more polite, they have already deprived Jiang Yuezhen of her power as a housekeeper. Our home? Hurry up and hand over the keys!"
Tears of humiliation gradually welled up in Jiang Yuezhen's eyes. She looked at Yu Weiwu with tears in her eyes, but she saw that the other party was full of hostility and impatience, obviously it was impossible to speak for her.
Jiang Yuezhen paused, moved her hands to her waist slowly, and untied a long bunch of keys, Yu Qianjiao snatched the keys and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, please be your great grandmother , I don’t need you to worry about my family’s affairs!”
Aunt Mei kept her gaze on the key in Jiang Yuezhen's hand, she tried her best to hide the longing on her face, but her eyes betrayed her urgency.
General Yu took the key from Yu Qianjiao, thought for a while, and handed it to Aunt Mei, "Mei Er, take care of this house for me first."
Aunt Mei beamed with joy, she took the key with her hand, and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, Mei Er will definitely take care of it for you!"
Everyone in the room was beaming, but Jiang Yuezhen felt that everyone kept her out and didn't even want to look at her.
Is this her lover, her relatives, her home
She lowered her eyes slowly, and it took a long time before she forced herself to swallow her tears.
098 You must provoke me
098 You must provoke me
Because of two consecutive funerals, this Mid-Autumn Festival in Yufu was very low-key. There were no lanterns and festoons, and no stage performances. Except for Aunt Mei and Zhang Luo, everyone had a Mid-Autumn reunion banquet, and there was no sign of a festival at all. Lively atmosphere.
Yu Linglong had just had dinner that day when a little maid came to report that Aunt Mei asked to see her.
Yu Linglong asked Tonghua and the others to remove the food from the table, and asked someone to invite Aunt Mei to come in.
Aunt Mei was wearing an apricot red hibiscus shoulder-length gown, an ocher-colored thin cotton cape on the outside, and a magpie climbing plum silver hairpin on her head. .
As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Mei called the woman behind her, put an eight-inch square food box on the table, smiled and said to Yu Linglong: "This is the five-color mooncake that I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare for Miss Fourth. Fourth Miss, try it, how does it taste?"
Yu Linglong nodded lightly, and called Ling'er: "Put it away first."
Ling'er took out the food box, and Aunt Mei also sent the mother-in-law out. Seeing that there was no one in the room, Aunt Mei stepped forward, took out a new five-color rich and expensive purse from her sleeve, and put it away with a smile. By Yu Linglong's hand.
"Miss Si, the rent of a few shops has just been collected under the festival, this is your 30%."
Scanning the purse on the table, Yu Linglong smiled slightly, it seemed that Aunt Mei was indeed a shrewd person, and she got the power of accountant of Yu Mansion so quickly.
Seeing Yu Linglong's satisfied expression, Aunt Mei leaned forward again, and asked with a smile: "Miss Si, you are really clever. Last time, how did you find Miss Six's red face?"
Even Jiang Yuezhen couldn't be found, how did Yu Linglong know
Yu Linglong didn't look up at her, she lowered her head and took a sip of her tea before slowly saying, "If I let you know what method I used, I won't be entitled to take the 30% of the harvest."
A set of red treasure heads looks like nothing, but if you want to find such a pair of jewelry in the huge Yufu, and then take the opportunity to design Jiang Yuezhen, this matter will involve many relationships.
Ever since Mrs. Yu passed away, Yu Linglong has been trying to infiltrate power into the Yu Mansion. With the silver taels and jewelry sent by Mu's before, she asked Hemerocallis, Ma Changgeng's family and others to get in touch with each other, inquire about the news, and placed them in key places such as the warehouse, accounting room, kitchen, sewing room, tea room, etc. Manpower, even charcoal houses and stables have her eyeliner.
Don't underestimate these little servants, in Yu Mansion, they are very well-informed, for example, which courtyard master ate what food, what tea he drank, and what clothes he wore today, as long as Yu Linglong wants to know, Someone will tell her immediately. When the master left the house, where he went, and when he came back, the servants in the stable and porter knew better than anyone else.
With these sources of news, the actions of everyone in the Yu Mansion are under the supervision of Yu Linglong. Ever since the day she decided to help Aunt Mei gain the power to head the house, Yu Linglong has been looking for Jiang Yuezhen's flaws, Mu Shi's dowry... The list is naturally the best breakthrough.
In the warehouse of the Yu Mansion, there are quite a few things, but there are not many things. Even if people who don't know the details have an account book, it looks messy from the outside, and they don't know what to do. But those poor women who work in the warehouse all year round are different. They collect and move things in the warehouse all day long, and they are more familiar with every item of property that goes in and out of the warehouse.
Just like that set of red treasure tops, the account book only records the box of silk brought in from Miss Six. Who would be bored to check what is at the bottom of the box? After being gnawed by a mouse, I deliberately dug out those boxes to check and dry them, and only then did I find the box of red treasure noodles.
Even Mama Tian, who was in charge of the warehouse, would not have thought of such a trivial matter, but the humble woman knew the whereabouts of this set of red treasure heads.
This is the big role of little people.
As for the other items, it was the same situation. The masters of the Yu Mansion only knew that they had nothing to ask their servants for, but they didn't know how to find it, let alone the keys here, so how could they find something
But Yu Linglong didn't intend to tell Aunt Mei about this kind of thing, if Aunt Mei also knew the tricks, she would naturally follow suit and gradually escape from Yu Linglong's control.
Seeing that Yu Linglong refused to say anything, Aunt Mei smiled embarrassingly, and changed the subject wisely: "Miss Si, I have only been in charge of the house for a short time, and there are many things I am not familiar with. I hope Miss Si can take care of me."
Although she has gained the power of housekeeper now, General Yu also trusts her very much, but after all, the Yu Mansion
