Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 5

"Old Majesty, this servant/slave knows I've made a mistake, please punish me, Madam." The people below kowtowed.

"I want to punish. From now on, you must memorize all the rules I set before, keep your job responsibilities in mind, and do things well for me. I will spot check at any time. If I find anyone who is not Done well, the first time, you will not be allowed to eat dinner; the second time, you will be fined for half a month; the third time..." Gu Qingling said, "Sell them directly. I don't want to see you in my yard again."

what? !

sale? !
Chen Ma and the others were terrified.

Many of them are the children of the Yao family. If they are really "sold out", it means that their wives and children have separated.

"Okay, don't kneel down one by one, what should you do? Remember this time first, and we will settle the accounts together next time." After finishing speaking, Gu Qingling put down the teacup.

"Yes, old lady."

The servants responded, got up one after another, and rushed to do their own work.

Chen Ma lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, and was about to take the big maid to go to Gu Qingling in spring, but after walking a few steps, she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.

She gave Chen Ma a wink and motioned for her to open the door.

The big servant girl stayed in Chunchun, bent slightly and said: "Old Madam, your clothes are messed up, this servant will help you tidy up."

It's reasonable to see guests, no matter what, she is also a countess, Gu Qingling nodded.

With the permission of the old matriarch, the big maid came closer in spring and arranged the headgear and clothes for Gu Qingling.

No one knows better than her what clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear.

When her eyes fell on the headgear worn by Gu Qingling, she was startled, because she actually found a phoenix embroidered on one of the hanging ribbons.

Her strangeness immediately caught Gu Qingling's attention: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Qingling remembered - the clothes on her were not from the Yao family.

Gu Qingling: "..."

The big servant girl didn't dare to speak in spring, but silently picked up the ribbon in her hair and let her see it by herself.

——Good guy, it seems that the person who ate her tofu is not an ordinary person!
——Damn it, it's even embroidered with a phoenix!

Although I don't know who the word "An" on the jade pendant represents, but the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon can't escape, right?

Gu Qingling's mind was in a mess, and she was a little confused for a while, but she didn't need to come up with any reasonable reason to "deal with" the maid spring, because Chen Ma had already returned from the gate of the courtyard.

She bowed slightly and said: "Old Madam, the abbot of Ningshan Temple came outside, and they came to apologize for what happened just now."

"Heh! Now that I know they're here, why didn't they come when the accident happened just now?" Gu Qingling instantly put the matter of the prince behind her and focused on the matter in front of her.She had a look of disdain on her face, full of upper-class attitude.

Mother Chen was afraid of making her unhappy, so she didn't dare to answer, so she just lowered her head even lower.

"Okay, let's invite someone in, I want to see what he has to say."

"Yes, old matriarch, oh no." In order to know what she knew, Chen's mother even tentatively changed her address, "Old madam..."

"No need, they will make such a trip, I'm afraid they have already found out my identity, whether it is called 'Lao Madam' or not, they already know who I am."

"Yes, old lady."

Chen Ma responded and went out to invite someone.

Gu Qingling casually found an excuse to conceal the source of the things on her body, so she called the big servant girl, Chunchun, to quickly take off the outrageous things on her body before the person came in.Even if she is a countess, that royal thing is not something she can wear casually.

When the abbot and others entered the courtyard, they found that the courtyard was still a little messy, and the old matriarch did not plan to entertain them in the main hall, but moved a chair and sat directly in the courtyard, and he knew it in his heart: the old matriarch Still angry, don't wait to see them!
"The poor monk's Dharma name is Wuwen, the abbot of Ningshan Temple, and now he brings all the elders in the temple to greet the old matriarch, good day to the old matriarch."

As soon as Abbot Wuwen finished speaking, Gu Qingling said with a cold face:
"What's the matter? I'm not worried at all right now, so I chose your Ningshan Temple after thousands of choices. In the end, the monks in your temple brought outsiders to Laoshen's yard to make trouble in Laoshen's absence. What do you, the abbot, usually do? Who cares about them? No wonder your temple is so big, it doesn’t have half the incense of Jing’an Temple..."

Abbot Wuwen's posture was quite low, and he apologized again, explaining that the monk was new and didn't understand the rules, so he had already been punished.

"Oh! Leave it to the old man? Am I the abbot, or are you the abbot? You people in Ningshan Temple don't care about it, isn't it funny? When the old man is just like you, he has nothing to do all day long, either eating vegetarian food or knocking wooden fish Ah..." Gu Qingling directly played a difficult old lady who was "unreasonable and unforgiving".

"The old lady misunderstood, this old monk didn't mean that."

"What do you mean, the old body doesn't know, anyway, the old body has suffered from you," Gu Qingling stared at him, and said, "You have to give the old body an explanation, not a gentle apology."

An apology, who wouldn't, what she wanted was actual benefits.

For example, return the fee she paid to Ningtong Temple this time.

Don't blame her for knocking the door, it's really that she came here at a bad time. It is said that it is the countess.

To put it bluntly, she had no money in hand.

If it wasn't for this, the original owner would not have tried to get the bastard to marry a merchant's daughter to supplement the family.As a result, the concubine was arrogant, thinking that he was the son of an earl, how could he marry the daughter of a merchant?

After a big fuss, the original owner was so angry that a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat, so he just left.

What she took over was such a big mess: the eldest son didn't live up to his expectations, and took a false job, with no benefit; the second son was stubborn, a proper dude who only spent money; , the same sons and daughters who can only spend money but not make money; plus a group of slaves in the Yao family, with hundreds of mouths...

Seeing this, Gu Qingling couldn't stand it anymore. Without a word, she pretended to be defeated in the battle for "right to head the house" with her daughter-in-law, so she packed up her burdens and reselected a group of available people. The dowry ran away.

She said she was in poor health and wanted to "retreat" in the temple, but in fact she set up a shop in the name of Chen Ma, and planned to use the power of Wenxiang Space to open a rouge shop to earn pension money for herself.

Now that the store has not opened yet, someone has already made a plan. She was "kidnapped" in the middle of the night, and she just encountered the wave last night. It's no wonder that she is in a good mood.

No one has a good temper towards anyone.

Abbot Wuwen didn't know this. What he was facing now was the negative emotions of an "evil old lady", which was like a storm.

In the end, he failed to speak to Gu Qingling. Not only did he refund all the expenses Gu Qingling spent in Ningshan Temple, but he also had to let her continue to "live" for free, and arranged for monks to patrol day and night to solve her safety problems.

Abbot Wuwen didn't know what to say, because he knew so many old ladies and old ladies, none of them would care about Adu's things.

Logically speaking, shouldn't these rich and powerful families pay attention to the breeze, bright moon, sunny spring and white snow?

He thought that as long as he put his posture low enough, apologized, and sent a century-old ginseng as an apology, the matter would be over.If it doesn't work, take that monk out and let the old lady vent her anger.

But in fact, the century-old ginseng was taken away, and the "incense money" was returned shamelessly, and "food and housing" were free for three months.

Abbot Wuwen: "..."

Chen's mother and the eldest maid Chunchun snickered: That was before, since my old lady almost left, she changed to a new hobby - being stingy.

If I followed the old lady to the "bargaining scene" to set up shops and talk about the source of goods a few more times, it would not be uncommon or strange.

After settling the rent issue, Gu Qingling's mood instantly improved a lot.

What's more, the abbot generously gave her a century-old ginseng, so it should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?
Gu Qingling asked the maidservant to put it away in spring, in case of emergencies.

"Yes, old matriarch." The eldest maid Chunchun held the box of the century-old ginseng, not daring to neglect it.

No way, who let her take care of the old lady's warehouse.Because I was in charge, I understood how poor her old lady was—who would have imagined that a hundred-year-old ginseng would be a rare item for an old lady in the earl's mansion?

If you want to spread the word, I'm afraid there will be no believers.

Gu Qingling said: What's the matter, as long as she has the space to smell the fragrance, is she afraid that she won't be able to make a lot of money in the future, and eat popular and spicy food?
Just wait, when the signboard of her rouge shop is ready, most people will come to her shop to buy things.

It took Gu Qingling a lot of effort to get out of Yao's house, but now it's not easy to go back.

She did think about whether she should find an excuse that she missed her grandchildren, but when she went back like this, she always felt like a loser and disheartened.

When she left back then, she let go of her cruel words: "Okay, I'll go. I'll make you kneel and beg me to come back in the future. It will depend on whether I like it or not."

How long has it been since?
Three months, and it turned out to be a slap in the face.

"Ah... a headache!"

Sitting on the porch, slowly sipping a cup of jasmine tea, the artistic conception is quite beautiful, even this annoying thing is quite annoying.

The only thing she is lucky about now is that luckily the original owner's man is dead, and no one cares about her. She can completely wander outside with the word "Countess", and it's okay if she doesn't go back for a while.

However, any fool would know that it's fine if she didn't go back for a while, but if she didn't go back, wouldn't others be suspicious?

Once she suspects that she has nothing to do with her son, even if she is a countess, she is nothing more than a "paper tiger" without her son as a backer.At that time, the word Countess will not be effective now, so I don't know.

Rumbling--

There was a loud thunder, which startled Gu Qingling, she looked up, only to find that the dark clouds had piled up to the horizon.

"It's going to rain! No wonder it feels a little stuffy," Gu Qingling said to herself, and called Chen's mother to remind everyone to inform everyone that it was going to rain.

"Yes, old lady."

The rain fell as soon as it was said, just for a while, and the downpour came suddenly.

slam-la-

slam-la-

A servant hurried through the corridor and ran into a courtyard.

"Sister Xia Tao, is the eldest lady there? The servant wants to see the eldest lady..."
