Jingzhuang's eyes were dark and she said in a low voice: "Master has done something wrong. Shouldn't we slaves give him some advice?"
Jingyi was almost pissed off by Jingzhuang's stubbornness.
"Even if you want to say it, don't you know how to say something nice? If you have to say something to make her unhappy, aren't you asking for trouble?"
If Jingzhuang had just said a few compliments to make Shi Baoning happy, Shi Baoning wouldn't have been so furious and used Jingzhuang as a punching bag!
Jingzhuang: "Who doesn't know how to say nice things, but what's the use? Now the master has gone astray and regards her sisters as enemies. It's up to us servants to wake her up. If Yi Ming can say those nice words, Not only will it fail to help the master, it will actually harm her!"
"You!" Jingyi was so angry that she was almost speechless.
Thanks to the fact that they have known each other for so many years, they know each other well.
If someone else were to give Jingzhuang some advice with good intentions but were reprimanded by such words, I'm afraid Jingzhuang would feel that Jingzhuang is ignorant and takes her kindness for granted!
But even if Jingyi knows that Jingzhuang has no bad intentions and is loyal to her, what's the use
Shi Baoning doesn’t know!
Shi Baoning not only didn't know, but even hated Jingzhuang's so-called "loyal words that were offensive to the ears"!
In the end, there is no effect at all, but you suffer.
"Why are you doing this?"
Jingyi sighed helplessly.
Jingzhuang seemed to still want to argue, but the fact was before her eyes—her advice was indeed ineffective.
In the end, she was the unlucky one!
Jingzhuang opened her mouth, but in the end nothing came out, so she lowered her head dejectedly.
Jingyi said that she had won against Jingzhuang, but she didn't feel any joy as a winner.
He also looked bored.
If her master is enlightened and rational, why wouldn't she want to make him feel better
Don't let jealousy get the best of you.
But it was obvious that Shi Baoning could no longer listen to any persuasion about Shi Qingxue. The slaves like them could only sit aside and say nothing.
"Hey, don't be too sad!
The master was so angry that the punishment was inevitably harsh. Once her anger subsides, you may be exempted from punishment. "
Jingyi said these words of consolation, but she didn't quite make sense in her heart.
She thought of the injury on Jingzhuang's face, and whispered: "I heard that the master has a magical elixir to remove putrefaction and promote muscle growth. Wait until tomorrow when we are happy with the master's service, maybe we can ask her for a reward. Then You will still be beautiful."
Jingzhuang raised her head and showed a forced smile to Jingyi, "Thank you, I'm fine. I'm kneeling here, and you don't have to look at me all the time. It's cold outside, so go back to the house first!"
Jingyi smiled indifferently, "I'm wearing thick clothes, it doesn't matter.
Besides, the master asked me to 'watch' you. If I leave now, someone might make irresponsible remarks in front of the master again. "
Jingyi did not mention her name directly, but both of them knew that she was talking about the first-class maid Jingrong who came from the Shi family with them to marry.
Jingrong was originally only a second-class maid, but because Shi Baoning became the mistress of the Wenren Mansion after she married, a maid was raised from among the second-class maids, and was named Jingrong by Shi Baoning.
This Jingrong was well-behaved, well-spoken, and very lovable, and she suddenly became a popular person around Shi Baoning.
He even had a posture that vaguely surpassed the two old men Jingzhuang and Jingyi.
Jingzhuang has a peaceful temperament and doesn't fight against the world, so it doesn't matter, but Jingyi is not the kind of person who can swallow her anger even if someone steps on her head.
Over the past year, there have been many conflicts with Jing Rong.
The two of them almost got into a fight in the backyard of the Wenren Mansion, forming a gang, but they just didn't have a real fight with real swords and guns.
Jingyi is looking for Jingrong's faults, so naturally she won't let the other party find her faults.
So I moved a chair specially and sat in the courtyard, 'looking' at Jingzhuang.
Jingzhuang looked at Jingyi's great posture, and understood in her heart that the other party actually still wanted to accompany her.
Only then did the cold heart warm up a little.
She looked at Jingyi and thanked her softly, "Thank you!"
Jingyi waved her hands and hummed: "Stop thanking me, I will thank God if you take care of yourself!
Regarding today's matter, if the master is not in a better mood, and someone bites the tongue in front of the master, you don't know what will happen in the future! "
They say clothes are not as good as new and people are not as good as old!
But most of the time, we only hear the new people laughing, not the old people crying!
Jingyi was almost certain that Jingrong would not let go of such a good opportunity to add insult to injury.
She doesn't need to worry, but what will happen to Jingzhuang is really...
Jingli gritted her teeth and thought: She and Jingzhuang have supported each other for so many years and are closer than biological sisters. Do you want her to watch Jingzhuang being demoted to a greenhouse or even worse place to suffer
Furthermore, Jingzhuang is silent, but she is the best at serving others. Without Jingzhuang, her out-of-the-box temperament, even if she is better at talking, how can she compete with Jingrong single-handedly
Isn't there no good fruit for her to eat by then
Jingyi made up her mind that she could never go on like this.
Then he asked the little maid to guard Jingzhuang for him, and he sneaked to the study room in the front yard to find Wen Renchi.
Jingyi made no mistake in estimation.
After Wen Renchi left with a puff of sleeves, he did return to the study.
But at this time, in addition to Wenrenchi, there was also Uncle Li, the steward of Wenren Mansion, in the study.
Li Shuzheng gave Wen Renchi an exhaustive report on the housework and some details in the mansion this year.
After Wen Renchi listened patiently, he said, "Didn't we agree before that you and Baoning will manage the household chores? Don't you have to tell me everything?"
It's not that he really doesn't want to take care of things at home.
It's just that he is busy with military affairs, and it is really difficult for him to spare the energy to ask about everything. Even in the past, Uncle Li was in charge of the trivial matters in the house.
Why is it that now that there is an extra Shi Baoning, he still has to worry about it
However, Uncle Li was very insistent on this point, "Master, you are the head of the family, so you must know everything about the situation at home. Moreover, the things reported by the old slave have been carefully screened to eliminate some useless information. Just to let you know about the situation at home, and try not to waste your time. You still..."
Wen Renchi surrendered and raised his hands to express, "Okay, okay! From now on, Uncle Li, I will listen to whatever you say, okay?"
Anyway, Uncle Li just wants him to listen carefully, so he should listen carefully to the end.
Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction and carefully explained the family's financial situation to Wen Renchi.
After Wen Renchi heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked: "What? It's actually a loss? Didn't we say that several of our shops are quite profitable this year
how? Isn’t it enough for our family’s expenses? "
This has never happened before, no wonder Wen Renchi was surprised!
Uncle Li smiled coldly and replied in a weird tone: "No matter how much money our shop makes, it can't match the speed at which others spend money!"
Wen Renchi: "..."
He finally understood why Uncle Li had to tell him about the family affairs.
It turned out to be waiting for him here!
This year was considered the first year that Shi Baoning got married. Although Wenren Mansion's yield was not low, Shi Baoning couldn't stand it because he was spoiled and spoiled, and he didn't know how expensive vegetables, rice, oil and salt were.
She basically copied the luxurious lifestyle she had in Shi Guogong's Mansion, wanting the best in everything, without even considering whether the Wenren Mansion's financial and material resources could afford it.
How can Wenren's Mansion compare with Shi Guogong's Mansion
In addition, there are many things that need to be prepared again for a wedding, which is a big expense.
Due to many factors, it’s strange that the Wenren Mansion’s finances are not overdrafted this year!
Not to mention Wenrenchi was surprised, even Wenren Mansion, which Uncle Li had managed for his master for so many years, almost thought that the accountant had embezzled the harvest of the mansion when he saw the account book handed over by the accountant.
Later, after a one-on-one visit, I discovered that this was indeed the number.
Originally!
Uncle Li thought that it was understandable that Shi Baoning had just gotten married and didn't know the situation in the house, so he spent money uncontrollably for a while, coupled with various objective reasons.
Just pay attention next time!
Unexpectedly, he showed Shi Baoning the accounts and vaguely reminded him several times to restrain his spending.
Shi Baoning had no reaction at all. The next day, he felt that the Eight Immortals table in his dormitory was not very good, so he insisted on buying another Eight Immortals table worth several thousand taels of pear wood.
The old ones were naturally thrown back into the warehouse, where they became infested with insects.
Uncle Li looked at it for a long time and couldn't see any difference between the two tables, but he couldn't get rid of the anger in his stomach.
Hence the scene today.
After hearing Uncle Li's explicit or implicit complaints, Wen Renchi didn't know what to say for a while.
He looked at Uncle Li's angry look and knew that Uncle Li was thinking about Wen Renfu and himself.
But…
"Uncle Li, you also know that Baoning has been spoiled since she was a child. She devours gold and jade in the Shi family and uses the best for everything..."
"But now that she has married into our Wenren Mansion, the old routine can no longer be used! There is nothing wrong with wanting to live a good life, but we must also consider the actual situation of our family!" Uncle Li snorted angrily.
Wen Renchi smiled bitterly: "When I married her, I promised my father that she would live a good life.
She was the eldest daughter of the Shi family, and now that she has married into our family, I can't let her lower her demands to accommodate us, right
To put it bluntly, I cannot let my wife live a better life, but it is me, the husband and the head of the house, who is incompetent! "
Uncle Li's eyes widened: "!!!"
"That's not what I meant, young master. Don't blame yourself, young master. It's all my fault. You're talking nonsense, but you must never..." Uncle Li argued eagerly.
Wen Renchi smiled and waved his hand, "I know that Uncle Li, you are all thinking about Wenren Mansion. The situation in the first year was special, and I didn't consider it well.
Don't worry, I will find a way to make up for the shortfall, and this situation will never happen again. "
However, Uncle Li was not at ease at all. Instead, he asked even more nervously: "What do you want to do?"
