Since Jia Lian started gambling, Grandma Wang, the nanny of Yingchun, was beaten forty times because she was one of the four big bosses who set up gambling in Jia's house, and all her family property was confiscated. The whole family was driven to work in the village.
live.
Because Wang Zhu's daughter-in-law was Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law, she was also kicked out. Now, there were two vacancies in the Yingchun House.
This is a shortage in Grand View Garden. The monthly salary is high, but the work is easier than in Rongguo Mansion.
Moreover, these two women are not just menial women who do chores. Although they will not be hired as wet nurses, they are still teaching the women.
What makes people even more envious is that after the nanny Wang of Yingchun was driven away, the tutor became the top manager in the yard. Who wouldn't want to come and get this good job?
So, I don't know how many people secretly found Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, said good things, and gave gifts, all hoping to be transferred to Zhujin Tower to welcome the spring.
Ping'er didn't dare to take advantage of others casually, but Wang Xifeng didn't care.
She had been taught since she was a child that "if you don't get the benefits, you won't get them for free." Now when people came to give gifts and wanted to fill the gap, naturally, she accepted whatever they gave her and happily put it all in her own little treasury.
.
Wang Xifeng had made up her mind to "take money for free and do nothing", so she waited until the servants had given away all the gifts. When they were full, she announced:
Grandma Wang and Wang Zhu's daughter-in-law are missing, leaving Mrs. Bao in Yihong Courtyard and Mrs. Guo in Wang Xifeng Courtyard to take over. This is what Second Master Lian said.
As a result, the women who gave the gifts all became taken advantage of.
The bad guys spent a lot of money in vain, so they were naturally very dissatisfied and said a lot of bad things about Sister Feng behind her back.
Sister Feng knew it and didn't care. Ping'er tried to persuade her twice, but Sister Feng just snorted and said with a sneer:
"They asked for this, why should they blame me?
If I don't accept the things they bring to my door, they might even say behind my back that I look down on people."
.
But it was said that Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Guo were transferred to Jinlou and became the nuns to guide the Spring Festival, and they immediately became arrogant.
The power of the nanny is not small. In theory, she should teach and supervise the etiquette and rules of welcoming the spring during the day. She can also educate the maids who welcome the spring not to break the rules. At night, she must take turns to supervise the night ones and be responsible for welcoming and sending them off.
A gift for the master, a visitor.
Even a decent "Vice Lady" like Si Qi should actually listen to Grandma's arrangements.
But the problem is, in the house of Yingchun now, except for the master Yingchun, who is a softie, the servants are more and more arrogant.
The first one is Yingchun's chief maid Siqi, who is the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family, Mrs.
, Aunt Qin Xian’s family spent the night at the south corner of the Grand View Garden, and she had always been on good terms with Lin Zhixiao’s family.
With these connections and backers, Siqi's life is more comfortable than in Yingchun.
For example, the little maids Lian Hua'er and He Hua'er basically followed Si Qi every day, serving him from the front and back.
Anyway, there are few things to do during the Spring Festival, and when Xiuji was still there earlier, it was enough for Xiuji to be taken care of by himself.
Now Xiuju was suddenly transferred to Tanchun by Mistress Lian, and was replaced by Sister Chan to Yingchun.
Sister Chan used to be a little maid doing odd jobs in Qiu Shuangzhai where she was Tanchun. She was responsible for cleaning the yard, buying things and spreading the news. Although she didn't dare to be as arrogant as Siqi, she was as virtuous as her grandmother, Mrs. Xia.
He is picky, quarrelsome, and quarrelsome.
Now that I was transferred to serve Yingchun, I couldn't help but have the feeling of "flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix", especially seeing that Yingchun is a coward. None of the servants in Zhujin Tower took Yingchun seriously, and they immediately followed suit.
, within a few days, she also gave herself the title of "Vice Lady".
How could the original "Vice Lady" Si Qi tolerate anyone who dared to compete with her? She pointed at Sister Chan's nose and cursed:
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being compared with me?"
Sister Chan naturally refused to suffer a loss and immediately put her hands on her waist:
"You have a child at home, and I have a child at home, why can't you compare? You can have a small kitchen and a small stove, but I can't?"
Siqi's face turned green with anger and called Lian Hua'er in:
"You grab her, I'm going to slap this little hooves in the face!"
But they didn’t expect Sister Chan’s grandmother, Mrs. Xia, to be on good terms with Aunt Zhao, and Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Guo were also good friends with Aunt Zhao in private. So the three of them considered themselves to be the “New Party of Zhujinlou” and had long seen the past.
Zhui Jinlou, headed by Siqi, originally had a maid and a woman who didn't like him, so he was holding back his energy and wanted to compete with her.
Sister Cicada was also very sweet to Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Guo. At this moment, Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Guo rushed into the house. One held Siqi and the other protected Sister Cicada. They kept shouting:
"Girl, don't be too arrogant. All the work in this house is thanks to Sister Chan. For the past three days, apart from going out to stroll in the garden and lying down in a daze, the girl has not even poured out the tea."
Si Qi stamped his feet angrily:
"I'm a serious 'Vice Lady', I'm not a working person in the first place! She doesn't have to sweep the yard now, how can it be enough to give her a cup of tea?"
Sister Chan hated people saying that she used to do menial work, and she was so angry that she jumped:
"Aren't you a slave yourself? You are more noble. Mr. Lei Gong also has eyes, so you are not afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Siqi was so angry that he took advantage of her tall and strong figure to get rid of the old woman and kicked the stool over.
The stool touched Sister Cicada's skirt. Sister Cicada took the opportunity to shout "Ouch!" and sat on the ground and started crying:
"Siqi beat someone to death! If there is no trace, hit me with a stool..."
When Mrs. Guo was about to play chess, the little girl Lian Hua'er grabbed hold of her. Mrs. Bao stepped forward and pushed Lian Hua'er, who also burst into tears:
"That's not bad! Your sister beat Sister Siqi and then hit me..."
There was a lot of shouting, pushing, crying and making noise in this room. It was more noisy than a vegetable market.
And Yingchun was sitting at the table, holding up "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" and reading:
"The Supreme Being said: There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people call upon themselves.
Retributions for good and evil follow each other like a shadow. Therefore, there are gods in heaven and earth who take charge of people's transgressions. They will take away people according to the seriousness of their offenses.
If you calculate the decrease, you will be poor and exhausted; if you encounter more troubles, everyone hates them; punishments and misfortunes will follow; auspicious stars will avoid them; evil stars will bring disasters; if you calculate them all, you will die..."
.
At this moment, Xiuju suddenly ran into the house in a hurry.
Ignoring the fuss among the people in the room, he went straight to Yingchun and breathed in a low voice:
"Have you heard, girl? My wife is going to marry her to Miss Bao's brother."
Yingchun had already read "Tai Shang Inspiration" no less than a thousand times. At this time, he was immersed in the story of "good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded", and did not hear what the visitor said.
When he looked up and saw Xiu Ju, he persisted in "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" and said with a smile:
"This is truly the best book in ancient and modern times. Every sentence is true and every word is precious. With this book, how can there be any disputes in the world?"
Xiuju knew that her old master was of a dull temper, so she was so anxious that she repeated:
"Girl, my wife is going to marry her to Miss Bao's brother."
When Yingchun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned:
"Is this...really?"
However, I heard Sister Chan, who was acting playfully at the side, suddenly stopped crying, rushed over in two steps, pointed at Xiuju and said loudly:
"Xiuju, who allowed you to enter this house without permission?"
Mrs. Bao also helped:
"You broke into the house when you came. If the third girl finds out, she will scold you for being unruly."
Suddenly I saw Baochai walking in from the door with a smile:
