Chapter three hundred and sixty-two troubles in the house
Wu Shigong was a little surprised to see Aunt Qiu calling him. In fact, he had tolerated Aunt Qiu's excessive words and deeds just now, and he wanted to find a chance to communicate with Aunt Qiu. Why was she looking for him now?
What? But it was a good idea to take this opportunity to communicate, so the two of them entered the outer room of the master bedroom.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the conversation, Aunt Qiu was off topic: "Sister, I just asked the people in the inner house and found that there is no one around you to serve you. This time, the young lady selected some maids from the Hou Mansion for my uncle, and he also
You can choose by yourself in the inner house. Otherwise, it will damage my uncle's dignity."
This is true. After Wu Shigong arrived in Henan, he never arranged for the eldest maid and the maidservant to live in the inner house. However, Wu Shigong never paid attention to this matter, because according to usual habits, the concubine was the same as his roommate every day.
The maids in the room serve Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong is not a person who cannot support himself. Besides, in this inner house, who dares to let Wu Shigong sleep alone? So this problem is not a problem at all.
So Wu Shigong felt a little angry. Aunt Qiu was too lenient, and it was all her fault. Just when Wu Shigong was about to reprimand him, he noticed that the curtain leading to the big bed in the master bedroom was shaking. Wu Shigong immediately
Understanding that Xue Yufei was eavesdropping from behind. Without looking at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, Wu Shigong couldn't say anything bad. He took a long breath and explained:
"It's not too urgent. With Zhuyun, Xiuzhu and the others, it's enough to serve them. Besides, I'm used to their service, so I won't be used to it if they change people."
Wu Shigong pointed out to Aunt Qiu that your daughter Zhuyun is now his concubine and asked Aunt Qiu not to go too far.
"Then let's do what my uncle wants. In the future, when my uncle wants to choose a maid, he can talk to the servant again." Wu Shigong didn't expect that Aunt Qiu would be convinced by him so easily.
Wu Shigong didn't know. In fact, Aunt Qiu didn't care about this issue at all. Wu Shigong didn't have a maid with him. Especially if he didn't have a maid, it was actually a good thing for Xue Yufei and Zhuyun. Since Wu Shigong had already refused, why would Aunt Qiu bother?
Be enthusiastic.
In fact, Mrs. Zhang sent Aunt Qiu to follow Xue Yufei to Runing this time just to set up trouble for Xue Yufei. Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was spoiled and had no scheming, and she also learned that her son-in-law Wu Shigong had taken in so many concubines, so
He asked Aunt Qiu to help Xue Yufei take full charge of the inner house.
Aunt Qiu's status next to Mrs. Zhang was just like Zhu Yun's status next to Xue Yufei at that time. She was the head maid before they left the cabinet.
And when the time comes, they all have to marry their young ladies, and they all have to help their young ladies to be favored and in charge of the inner house. It was only because Xue Lian injured her kidneys that Xue Lian did not take over the house, and was forced to marry her.
Assigned to a housekeeper in the Yangwuhou Mansion. However, Aunt Qiu's position in the Yangwuhou Mansion has never been shaken.
In fact, from a modern perspective, Grandma Qiu is actually a very capable woman. It is nothing more than the prejudice and discrimination against women in this era. She was buried and she could only show off her skills in the inner house.
.
Aunt Qiu had long understood that what she was doing was a bit excessive. After all, rules do not care about favors. Because in the Ming Dynasty, only very strict mistresses or mothers-in-law would let their concubines or daughters-in-law serve them according to such rules.
around.
Generally speaking, it is just as long as the intention is met. If a concubine or daughter-in-law comes forward and pretends to serve, the mistress or mother-in-law will immediately let her rest generously. There is no such thing as today's meal.
So Aunt Qiu knew that Wu Shigong must be very angry, but Aunt Qiu wanted to establish Xue Yufei's absolute mistress status in the inner house. Therefore, she took the initiative to talk to Wu Shigong tonight, and took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation, just to
Hold on to your right to speak.
Aunt Qiu then said to Wu Shigong Yifu: "I seemed to be dazzled just now. Are you talking to my eldest sister?"
When Wu Shigong heard that Aunt Qiu saw him talking to Xiaojie. This was not a shameful thing, so he immediately nodded and replied: "Yes! What's the matter?"
"Then this slave is going to say more." Wu Shigong immediately frowned, listening to what Aunt Qiu would say, "My uncle's energy and blood are strong, and my eldest sister has grown up and is adopted. Please speak carefully."
Proceed with caution."
Wu Shigong didn't understand what Aunt Qiu said. After being stunned for a while, he finally understood what Aunt Qiu meant. He immediately became furious and scolded: "You are so presumptuous!" If Wu Shigong hadn't never hit a woman.
, Wu Shigong had already punched him.
"ah!"
Wu Shigong was always very kind in the inner house and rarely got angry, so when he got angry, Xue Yufei, who was hiding behind the curtain, couldn't help but scream in fright and walked out from behind the curtain.
And Aunt Qiu knelt down with a "plop". However, there was no fearful expression on her face at all, and she still said to Wu Shigong unhurriedly: "The eldest sister is already in her late teens, and she doesn't want to go to the boudoir at night."
, it is inevitable for people to misunderstand. And my uncle is away from home all the time, so there is no discipline in the inner house. This time, the lady wants the servant to come, just to help the young lady sort out the inner house."
Wu Shigong calmed down all of a sudden. He realized that what Aunt Qiu said was actually true. Xiaojie was thirteen years old after all. She might still be a child in modern times, but in the Ming Dynasty, she was already old enough to get married.
It's time.
But this is not a problem. Everyone can see that Wu Shigong does treat Xiaojie as his daughter. Wu Shigong doesn't believe that Aunt Qiu is an old maid, oh no! Old lady, Wu Shigong looked at Aunt Qiu again.
Wu Shigong couldn't think of any other name for her appearance. Anyway, Aunt Qiu would never do such a stupid thing. Does she think it's fun to deliberately use words to irritate her, the head of the family?
Wu Shigong didn't believe this, because after his brief contact with Aunt Qiu, he already felt that Aunt Qiu was a powerful woman. Then Aunt Qiu's words must have ulterior motives. But for a moment, Wu Shigong didn't understand that Aunt Qiu was a powerful woman.
What was Grandma's intention? Wu Shigong calmed down completely and said coldly to Grandma Qiu: "Then what do you want to do?"
Aunt Qiu knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Miss! Uncle! I want to discipline the servants in the house well so that they can learn the rules of a wealthy family. In addition, the accounts of the inner house must be clear, and the miss must also carefully
Take care of it. All young gentlemen and young ladies should also learn to educate themselves so as not to degrade the honor of the Marquis Mansion."
Wu Shigong was very angry all of a sudden. This Aunt Qiu was not polite. She wanted to seize the financial, personnel, and educational rights of her children! Xue Yufei, on the other hand, looked nervously at Wu Shigong's expression, for fear that Wu Shigong would be angry again.
.
Wu Shigong could see that Aunt Qiu's previous words and deeds were all to put pressure on him, forcing him to give in and hand over the management of the inner house to Xue Yufei. However, Wu Shigong also understood that Xue Yufei's character and temper were not suitable for him.
After handling the affairs of the inner house, won't all the power fall into the hands of Aunt Qiu by then?
However, at this time, Wu Shigong had no interest in arguing with Aunt Qiu anymore. He simply cut through the mess quickly. He immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay! I'll do as you say. I'm busy with affairs outside, and I can't take care of so many things in the house.
But I'm tired from working outside, and I don't want to worry about anything again after I return to the inner house."
"Fei'er and Lin'er are both the most important people in my mind. I can rest assured that she will manage the inner house. But I also love all my family members. Especially Zhu Yun's service is inseparable. So today at dinner
I don’t want to hear about what happened again. Do you understand? Once you understand, just go down."
Aunt Qiu immediately kowtowed and retreated. All she did today was to give everyone in the house a show of strength. As long as she obtained Wu Shigong's authorization, Aunt Qiu would definitely not act so excessively in the future. Nor would she.
She offended everyone. So after getting Wu Shigong's approval, she went down contentedly.
After Aunt Qiu retreated, Xue Yufei was still a little worried about Wu Shigong's anger. She leaned next to Wu Shigong and said softly: "Aunt Qiu is actually a very good person. She has always been very good to me, so everything else
My sister and children will not suffer. Today...she did this only after the madam told me."
Wu Shigong laughed out loud. This silly girl even confessed her own mother. Besides, will Aunt Qiu be bad to Xue Yufei? But Aunt Qiu's kindness to Xue Yufei means that she is also good to other people.
Okay? Just look at the punishment she gave to her daughter Zhuyun.
Seeing Wu Shigong's laughter, Xue Yufei became even more panicked. She hurriedly said: "Actually, I like your husband's children very much. I came here this time because I wanted to discuss something with my husband. Mr. Marquis and Madam
I have found a marriage for Lin'er. She is the seventh lady of the British prince's family. I have also gone to see her. They are quite a match and they are about the same age. As long as your husband nods, I will write to you about this marriage.
Set it down."
Wu Shigong rolled his eyelids and stared at Xue Yufei for a long time. How old was his little friend Xue Chenglin? Why was he about to get engaged? Although he knew that early marriage was advocated in the Ming Dynasty, this was probably a bit too much.
"What? Doesn't your husband agree?" Xue Yufei's face became even more worried.
"Oh no!" Wu Shigong immediately forced out a smile and said, "I have been away from the capital for a long time. It is better to let the Marquis and his wife make the decision on matters in the house. I have no objections."
Xue Yufei suddenly became happy, and then said: "I will ask my wife to search carefully and find a good family for my eldest sister at Xungui's house."
"There's no need to say it for now!" Wu Shigong immediately rejected Xue Yufei's kindness, "Xiaojie is still young now, let's raise her for a few more years. Then everything will take its course. To be honest, those dandies in the capital are not worthy enough.
Where is my child, Wu Shigong?"
At this time, Wu Shigong thought that after he had reached this point, most of his children's future marriages would be political marriages, and free love would be insulated from them. If Xiaojie could form a positive relationship with Tao Xin, he would also It can be considered a good thing. But it is too early to say anything about it now.
Seeing Wu Shigong frowning again, Xue Yufei asked again: "What is your husband thinking about?"
Wu Shigong stretched out his hand and pinched Xue Yufei's nose, and replied with a smile: "My husband is thinking: I want my wife to be carefree every day and not to be bothered by anything. Okay! It's not early, hurry up and undress your husband." Bar!"
