Withdrew the annual ceremony
This means that they don't want to continue their friendship.
Mrs. He slapped the small table next to her with a slap, and the teacup on the small table made a "crash" sound.
"These people, could it be that they are bullying our Jing'an Bo mansion, and there is no one left!" Mrs. He said angrily, her chest heaving violently.
Seeing the ugly face of the old matriarch, Liu Momo kept panting, and quickly patted the old matriarch's back to comfort her in fright, "Old matriarch, don't get mad at yourself because of these guys who are stalking people, ma'am You are still in bed, and Erlang Saburo is not at the house, so this family needs you to support it."
Mrs. He's anger finally dissipated, she rested for a while, and then asked, "Which ones are they, can you write them down?"
Mu Xiang lowered her head and didn't dare to vent her anger, until she heard the old matriarch's question, she whispered the names of the families that had rejected the New Year ceremony.
Mrs. He clenched his fists, "Remember it all, since they don't want to associate with us, we don't want to put our faces on our backs!"
"Yes, old lady."
Mrs. He thought about it again, and ordered: "You order someone to bring all the returned annual gifts to me, and I will see for myself."
After Mu Xiang took the order, she went out to do errands.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Mu Xiang led the stewards of the outer court and the servants to carry the New Year ceremony to the flower hall of Qingwei Hall.
The steward bowed respectfully to the old matriarch, "Old matriarch, here are all the annual gifts sent to each family that were returned."
Mrs. He leaned on crutches and walked to the side of the New Year Ceremony, pointing to these cages placed on the carpet and said: "Open them all, I will see for myself."
Those large and small red lacquered wooden boxes were carefully opened by the servants. When Mrs. He saw the things inside, her eyes widened.
Immediately, he was furious: "You guys arranged for these things to be given to others? Everyone is a jerk!"
The stewards of the outer court were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and couldn't get up, "I also ask the old lady to forgive me. These annual gifts are ordered by the grandma to the younger ones. Although the younger ones think it is inappropriate, it is not good to disobey the older ones." Grandma's orders."
The old lady He trembled with arrogance, wishing to raise her crutches to teach these people a lesson, but she held back.
Nanny Liu hastened to support the old matriarch, fearing that she would be really angry for a while.
"Old Madam, things have already happened, even if you get angry again, it won't help."
Madam He sighed and said dejectedly, "Tell them to go down."
Nanny Liu waved to the stewards who were kneeling on the ground, and the stewards hurriedly lifted their robes and left in a disheveled manner.
Nanny Liu helped the old lady to rest on the warm pit.
"This Mrs. Zou is getting more and more confused! You go and send someone to call her here." The old lady's anger has not been extinguished at all, but she has suppressed it temporarily. Once the fuse of Mrs. Zou appears, I am afraid it will It pours down like a thunderstorm.
Look at the annual gifts given to various families, the original top-grade wild ginseng was replaced by inferior ones, the Jade Buddha used flawed jade, and the top-grade sencha cakes were also replaced by inferior loose tea...
The Zou family has been a family for five or six years anyway, how can they be so confused!
After a while, Mrs. Zou rushed to Qingwei Hall with her confidant mothers and maidservants.
"Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to grandmother." Zou's etiquette was standard, and no one could find any faults. Even the expression was dignified and dignified, without any anxiety or anxiety.
Grandma Liu who was standing beside the old lady frowned when she saw Mrs. Zou like this.
The old matriarch snorted, "You don't need to greet me, go and see those gift boxes behind you!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zou blessed the old lady, and turned to look at the opened brocade boxes.
After reading it, she turned around and asked the old lady strangely, "Grandmother, this is an annual gift that I asked the housekeeper to send to each family. How did it get to you?"
The old matriarch was about to be laughed at by Mrs. Zou, "Mr. Zou, don't you know why you are here with me?"
Only now did Mrs. Zou show a surprised expression, not daring to say: "Grandmother, could it be that these annual gifts have been returned?"
Mrs. He looked gloomy as she watched the grandson-in-law acting.
Zou walked up to the old matriarch's side in small steps, lowered her head, and said as if extremely aggrieved: "Grandmother, it's not that the granddaughter-in-law is perfunctory with each family's annual gift, it's actually the public's money that's left there and can only be bought. There is nothing my grandson can do about this."
The old matriarch frowned, "Didn't I just transfer the profits from Linju to Gongzhong?"
Mrs. Zou was taken aback, and quickly explained, "Grandmother, Guilinju has closed its business in the middle of the month. How can it support the New Year's expenses with only one month's profit."
Go out of business
The old lady thought for a moment.
Although he knew the reason, Mrs. He still couldn't forgive Zou's perfunctory in being in charge.
She suppressed her anger, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you are also responsible for such a thing. I don't think you need to be responsible for this family. Let me do it for you. You go back to your yard and reflect on yourself!"
Mrs. Zou never expected that the old lady would deprive her of her housekeeping rights at this time.
The panic and shock that she had pretended to come true all of a sudden, her eyes widened for a moment, and she couldn't believe it, but she seemed to realize it after a while, she didn't care about the original restraint and dignity at all, and knelt on the floor of Mr. He In front of the Taijun, he hugged the old Taijun's thigh and begged.
"Grandmother, you can't do this. It's the granddaughter-in-law's fault this time. The granddaughter-in-law shouldn't disregard the family's face and use those inferior annual gifts. The granddaughter-in-law will make up for it. Use the granddaughter-in-law's private house stickers. What a chance, daughter-in-law!"
Mrs. He's face was indifferent, she greeted Zou Shi's embarrassed face, and said coldly: "Zou Shi, I knew why I had to come here today, and send Grandma back to her yard."
After the old lady gave an order, Mrs. Zou was dragged out by a few thick women.
After Zou's voice completely disappeared in Qingwei Hall, Mrs. He rubbed her forehead and gave orders after a while, "Go and call all the stewards and maids in charge of each courtyard. I have something to order, and I will send the accountant to you." people also called."
On the day of Qingwei Hall, servants came in and out constantly, and everyone in the whole family knew that the wife of the eldest son had really fallen out of favor this time.
After Mrs. Zou returned to her room, she almost smashed everything she could see to pieces. Finally, Mother Qiao hugged her tightly and stopped her.
"Grandma, don't be like this, you still have two young ladies to take care of!"
Sister An and Sister Lin had long been attracted by the noisy sound here, and the maids and nurses around them couldn't stop the two young ladies, so they let the two children see the scene of Mrs. Zou going crazy. Sister An, Lin Seeing her usually gentle and virtuous mother turn into such a ferocious look, the sister was terrified.
The two little faces were full of panic, and they froze to the side without daring to make a sound. At this moment, Mrs. Zou looked at the two daughters.
She stared fixedly, and suddenly sneered with a distorted expression, "Ha! Why is neither of you two boys, if one of you two is a boy, how could I be where I am today! Two losers, Get out of here!"
Mother Qiao was taken aback. She never expected that the eldest grandma would say such words to the two children. Although the eldest grandma usually resented herself for not being able to conceive a male heir, she still loved the two young ladies very much. Riri personally took care of the children's daily life, who would have thought that she would suddenly target innocent children.
Although Sister An and Sister Lin were young, they were sensible. Being suddenly disgusted by their mother, the two little girls burst into tears at the same time, and ran towards Mrs. Zou. They wanted to make sure that what their mother said was just a joke.
Mother Qiao dared not let such a Zou Shi really touch the children, she quickly winked at Jinshui beside her, and asked her to ask the maids to take the two young ladies out.
Sister An and Sister Lin were taken away, and Zou seemed to have finally calmed down when she heard the children's cries. She sat down on a chair with empty eyes.
This time, she is really finished. Now that her husband hates her, Tong Fang is pregnant, and the power to manage the house has been taken back, she, the eldest wife of the Jing An Bo Mansion, may become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
She suddenly remembered the inexplicable letter she received the day before yesterday.
Yes, it was that letter, it was that letter that urged her to do this, sending it to various families with inferior annual gifts, and then told the old lady that the money was not enough, and that the news of returning to Linju to close business would be told, old lady In a fit of anger, Jun will assign Gui Lin Juzhen to Gongzhong, and at that time, the most lucrative restaurant in Quansheng Capital will fall into her hands.
She obviously did it step by step according to what the letter said, but how could the result be like this!
Chow shook Mammy Qiao's arm wildly as if she had suddenly caught a life-saving straw, "Mommy, that letter, that letter! Find that letter quickly, as long as you find that letter, grandma You will definitely be able to return the power of the family to me."
Mother Qiao was taken aback, but also remembered which letter the grandma was talking about.
That day, the grandma took out a letter from somewhere, and sat on the rose chair to read it by herself. After reading it, there was a flash of complacency on her face, and then she threw the letter to the charcoal beside her. in the basin.
Even she and Jinshui didn't see the contents of the letter.
Mother Qiao sighed, guessing that Grandma was being used by others.
"Grandma, you have already burned that letter."
"What? Burned... burnt?"
Although she didn't want to hurt Zou, Mother Qiao still had to tell her the truth.
Zou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
It seems that she really deserved it!
Mrs. He was sitting at the desk flipping through the accounts. After all, she was too old and her body couldn't bear it. After reading it for a while, her back hurt.
Nanny Liu couldn't see it from the sidelines, and suggested: "Old Madam, take a rest, why don't you let the maids take a look at it for you, and report to you when the time comes, it's the same."
The old matriarch really couldn't hold it anymore, so she could only nod, she pointed to Mu Xiang behind her, "Mu Xiang, come and see my account, if you don't have enough manpower, you can choose two trustworthy second Wait for the girl to help."
Mu Xiang hurriedly lowered her head, answered, and sat down to work.
The old lady was helped to rest by Nanny Liu.
"Go and find out what's going on with Guilinju, why it went out of business properly."
Grandma Liu got the order and immediately went out to give orders.
Chu Lian took Wenqing into the wing room in the main room, and as soon as Fu entered, he saw He Sanlang's handsome face like ice.
He Changdi's cool gaze swept over, and then his handsome face turned slightly, his body moved slightly, and he faced Chu Lian with a broad back.
Then Chu Lian heard his voice, "Why are you here, don't you ignore me?"
