in charge

At noon, the sun was cold.

The girl who passed the meal came and went, and glanced at the figure kneeling in the courtyard from time to time, some were sympathetic, and some were moved.

Mo Zi's face was wrinkled and dusty, and every breath was heavy.She knelt for a long time last night. She has good physical fitness and can hold on, but her knees were also swollen early this morning.The swelling wasn't too bad, but if I knelt again, and the kneeling was densely packed with small iron pestles, and there was no blood, it really hurt.

With her head lowered and her back hooked, others seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, but she was actually counting the time by watching her shadow.She can still feel pain, and her tu can go down.Taking a deep breath is a slow-release agent for the spirit.With the golden ginseng pills given by A Hao in his mouth, his palms are still warm.

She wanted to stand up and squat for a while while others were busy preparing meals, but she underestimated that old lady's ability.As long as she moves, an evil-faced woman will appear from behind a certain pillar, screaming that she cannot move.

When kneeling for 10 minutes, cold sweat broke out from head to toe. She thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly survived for 10 minutes longer.This is probably breaking the limit.

The problem is that breaking through the limit does not mean that you can kneel down endlessly.Although relying on the tenacity of the soldier, she has not yelled for pain so far, but after setting the deadline for 10 minutes, she decided that she would not bear it for a second when the time came, and would move first.This is called benevolence!

"Ten, nine" 1 secretly counted in his heart, the pain was so painful that the blood was drained, and the soul was abruptly separated "Three, two, one!"

Opening her mouth, Mo Zi heard her voice "old" about to become a broken gong

"Grandmother, Sanniang is here to lead someone." Qiu Sanniang came with a lazy voice and a flattering tone.

When Mo Zi heard it, she wanted to jump up.It's a pity that her tu is useless at this time.Can't jump, tilted to one side.When the head was about to hit the ground, let the two hands support it in time.

A pair of small clothes, a pair of green chrysanthemum.

Lu Ju looked at Mo Zi's bowed body, her complexion was like a ghost, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.And Xiaoyi had a cold expression, and immediately rubbed her tusks to activate the blood.

Mo Zi finally cried out in pain.

Qiu Sanniang squatted beside her and narrowed her almond eyes, "Mo Zi, didn't you mean to recruit me just now? Did you want to call the old lady?"

Mo Zi's voice was weak and his words were not weak, and he laughed, "You said let me endure until lunch. I am the most annoying when I am hungry when I eat. I want to say the trick first, lie to something to eat, and then talk back. I have no energy, why? torture?"

Qiu Sanniang didn't follow her smile, but shifted her gaze to her tummy, and then stared at the sweaty head, "Such a smart brain, can't escape this kind of punishment at all? It's not a big deal, I'm not afraid of it." people know."

"I invite you to recognize yourself, the difference is huge. Otherwise, why let me bear it?" Mo Zi was limited by his status, even if he was strong in attitude, he could only be passive in action in front of the mistresses of the palace.

If she recruited, it was tantamount to putting Qiu Sanniang into a passive position and putting herself in the position of a traitor.That's lose-lose.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was not much time for Mo Zi and Qiu Sanniang to prepare. At this time, they relied on tacit understanding and trust.Although Qiu Sanniang has a bit of a young lady's temper, and her relationship with Mo Zi is not like a master and servant, but more like a conflict between an opponent and a confidant, but at critical times, she is worth entrusting.Others can't understand Mo Zi's heart is like a mirror.On the contrary, Qiu Sanniang is the same.She likes to give Mo Zi problems, but she loves to tell Mo Zi what's on her mind.Because, only Mo Zi is not surprised or surprised, accepts it calmly, and can support her.

"It's just that it's terrible to pinch it every time." Mo Zi complained.

"There's no next time." Qiu Sanniang watched the curtain on the opposite side rise, took the handkerchief from her sleeve in a hurry, stuffed it into Mo Zi's hand, stood up straight, with a social smile on her face.

"Third Mistress, Madam and Madam invite you to come in and have dinner together." The girl came out and finished inviting, and then looked at Mo Zi who came down from the needle felt. "

However, no one paid attention to her.

Xiaoyi kept silent, kneading and kneading.Green Chrysanthemum pursed her lips, and her rumbling sound was beautiful.Hongmei pretended not to hear, and followed Qiu Sanniang closely.

The one who came out to invite people was also a big girl of the red-letter generation, following the old lady with the highest status in the mansion, she was naturally a little arrogant.With a move of both hands, he called two servants and asked them to put ink on the needle felt. At the same time, he said to San Niang, "Miss San, the old lady is not in a good mood. She hasn't eaten well since last night. We are girls. It is inevitable to follow her a little bit.

Otherwise, the one who will be punished will be himself. "

Hongmei spoke on behalf of Qiu Sanniang, "It's not that the third grandma is partial to Mo Zi, but she has a reason for doing so. When the third grandma goes in and tells the old lady, the old lady will understand. In short, this person,

It must never be punished again.Sister, don't be too persistent, go with the flow, and don't offend the master. "

The big girl was originally brought up by the second-class girl, and she still had some respect for the celebrity in front of the old lady. In addition, her words were very reasonable, and she knew the time and called the servant back. "Don't blame the third grandmother, the old lady ordered , the servants are not nice to listen to. If the old lady asks later, please say something nice for the servants."

Unlike Hongmei, Qiu Sanniang greeted people with a smiling face, her expression was indifferent, she waved her hand and walked in without waiting for anyone to help lift the curtain.

The big girl was taken aback.

Hongmei knows how to be a human being and help with the aftermath. "Don't worry, don't worry. The third grandmother is a kind person, and she never makes irresponsible remarks. Moreover, I have been with the old lady for so long, and she is strict in her mouth, but has a bodhisattva heart. When others beg for mercy, Big things become small.”

The eldest girl smiled wryly, and entered the room with Hongmei.

Qiu Sanniang did not go to the table to eat, but was taking the chopsticks from the little girl's hand from the side, and said, "I have eaten it. Grandma, let me serve you for a while. When I came in, the elders loved me, and they didn't let me eat." I picked up a chopstick dish."

The old lady spoke to the maids who passed the meal, and there were only a few big girls and confidantes left in the room.

"San Niang, you are well informed. I just brought your girl back from outside the house, and you came right after me." The elders don't need to be too polite when speaking to the younger generation.

Qiu Sanniang is a person who wants to be rude to anyone, so she replied like this, "The granddaughter-in-law is well-informed, but the grandmother is open and aboveboard, and she is not afraid of people knowing. And I only got the letter from the person you picked up last night." , if you can’t count it, come here. If it’s a little later, that girl’s tu will probably have to be scrapped.”

The old lady made Qiu Sanniang very angry, and snorted coldly, "If you are useless, you will be useless, but you are just a girl, just give me some money. I have heard that you are very indulgent to the people below.

It's really nice to see it with my own eyes now.After all, you are still young, so I'm afraid you don't know much about the rules in the palace.In ordinary households, there are girls and masters who are as close as sisters, but we can't do it in our house.There is a difference in respect and inferiority, and the order of seniority and juniority.It is the good fortune of the servants that the master can have a compassionate heart.But there is a limit to everything, so you can't let the bottom people mess around.Although she is your dowry girl, you will be my Xiao family's wife when you marry in.Since I'm a member of the Xiao family, why don't I, an old woman, take care of it? "

Qiu Sanniang nodded again and again, "It's okay. The granddaughter-in-law also understands that grandma loves me."

"It's good that you understand." The old lady turned her head and asked her eldest girl, "How about you, still kneeling obediently?"

The girl faltered.

"Grandmother, it's up to me to let it go. Mozi has a stubborn temper, but she takes soft things instead of tough ones. Even if she is beaten to death, she may not let grandmother do what she wants, but she is angry with you. She just told you I'm complaining, and I'll help to ask. What did she do wrong to make you so angry?" Qiu Sanniang pretended not to know.

When the old lady heard it, hey, pretend to be confused with me, and I simply explained what I said.

"This girl disguised herself as a man, and she jumped out of the house by herself. There are all witnesses and evidences, and she dared to quibble in front of me and your mother-in-law. How can I not be punished if she is so bold? The master. You know, last night your uncle wanted to intercede for her. Weil came here again this morning, pretending that I couldn't see his temptation. It's unreasonable!"

Qiu Sanniang listened to the following paragraph, which was fresh but did not miss her prepared remarks, "It is my fault that Grandma Mo Zi girl disguised herself as a man and went out of the house."

The princess said with a white face, "My son, don't make mistakes on yourself."

Qiu Sanniang put down her chopsticks.In fact, I never picked up a dish with chopsticks.Then, take a look at Hongmei.

Hongmei immediately took the cushion and stepped forward, laying it under Qiu Sanniang's feet.

Qiu Sanniang knelt down softly, "That's true. Sanniang ordered Mo Zi to leave the house. Now, she dare not hide it from her elders. When Sanniang was in Luozhou, she opened a restaurant business by herself, called Wangqiu Lou. Sanniang's family didn't know about this matter. Although the Qiu family is a big merchant, they also knew that it was inappropriate for a woman to do business. It's just that Sanniang lost her mother in her early years, and her father doted on her so much that she always took Sanniang with her. Sanniang's eyes and ears exaggerated, Learned a lot about business. The two elders didn't know that although the stepmother didn't treat Sanniang very badly, she was very good at budgeting. Sanniang had to plan for her own future, and used a sum of money left by her late mother to build the Wangqiu Tower Unexpectedly, the business of Wangqiu Tower is getting better and better. Before I got engaged to Saburo, I had already arranged to open a second house in Shangdu. The manager and the location were almost selected.

After marrying in, I thought that Prince Jing's Mansion was different from ordinary people, it was inconvenient to get in and out, but it was not easy to shut down this business. After all, a bunch of guys depended on the building to support their families, so I had to hide it from you, and at the same time let Mo Zi walk and handle the accounts A few things on the list.It is also a last resort to climb over the wall. "

"Then, what about the Hongyu shipyard? It's also Moziguan?" Wang Hao "charged into the battle".

"I'm about to tell you about this. The red woodwood was originally a dowry from my father. Before I married in, I went to see it once. There was only grass and stones, and I didn't know anything about shipbuilding, so it was left idle.

Later, the fortune teller said that the water would be prosperous for me, so I let Mo Zi, so as not to be prosperous. "Qiu Sanniang said very lightly, so lightly that she said, "Grandmother and mother-in-law treat me like their own flesh and blood, so I shouldn't hide it from you.It's all because Sanniang was afraid of losing your love, so she didn't know how to speak.

Unexpectedly, it made it to this point today.San Niang asks for punishment. "

The old lady waited for these words.Qiu Sanniang's low profile should allow him to naturally interfere with her overseas business, especially the shipyard.The shipping industry is the lifeblood of a country, and the threshold for shipping is extremely high, even the royal residence cannot just open a family.Unexpectedly, the third daughter-in-law brought this treasure as a dowry.

"Sanniang, you too. Although it's shameful for women to run a business, we don't know about your situation. I often tell your mother-in-law that you have to take care of family affairs, otherwise such a good skill will be wasted. Besides, Wangqiu Tower was opened before you got married, and the red treewood was a dowry given by your father. Even if you tell the truth, can we still blame you?" The old face smiled lovingly, "It's just that you are too indulgent. Mo Zi is gone. She is a girl, can she be as capable as a master like you? She also disguised herself as a man and ran out. If people know that she went out from our mansion, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of the palace? You know that you are not very good at managing it yourself , This makes sense. However, if we want to find someone to help you, we Jingwang Mansion has so many capable stewards, but we can’t find a few? Not only help you manage, but also help you make a lot of money. That's hard to say, but we know that you have worked so hard for the mansion, how can we treat you badly? To be honest, Si Niang has already told us that the two places where Mo Zi is looking outside may be your business. You If we make up our minds to keep it a secret and let that girl outside kneel down, we won't be able to say no to you. But, this heart, from now on will be divided. A family that was originally good, let this matter come to a dead end .”

The brilliance of Qiu Sanniang, no, it should be said that the brilliance of Qiu Sanniang and Mo Zi lies here.It must be said by Qiu Sanniang herself.Why?Just to give the old lady and the princess a good impression that they can correct their mistakes.For such a face-saving mistress, she can only hide her needles in the cotton.The more aggressive and ruthless you appear on the surface, the tougher the opponent will respond.

"Siniang?" Qiu Sanniang suddenly put on an aggrieved expression, "Grandmother, mother-in-law, I"

"Don't feel wronged. Since you said it yourself, we don't blame you. Si Niang is up to you, and I won't say a word to your mother-in-law. Those two children, when you have them yourself, let them They live in a single courtyard, so you don't need to take care of them." The old lady used up the chess pieces and threw them away.

"Thank you grandma." Qiu Sanniang sneered in her heart, "That Mo Zi"

"Sanniang, you are the daughter-in-law of my Xiao family, and your business is my Xiao family's business." In other words, your money is my Xiao family's money. "It's just that, that girl, my old lady is determined not to like it. It's beyond her capabilities to help you manage your livelihood. It's out of control to seduce the master. If you don't punish her severely, the girls in the house will follow suit. What's the matter?" ? You want to help your mother-in-law run the house from now on, so you should bear the pain and let go of your love, and you can't favoritism, just deal with it."

"Grandmother, I don't feel sorry for her, but I just want to tell you that I have already dealt with her. If you don't kill the chicken, how can you scare the monkey?" Qiu Sanniang asked Hongmei to bring Mozi in after finishing her harsh words.

Mo Zi was carried in by Xiaoyi Luju.After sitting still, I heard Qiu Sanniang say a word.

"I sold this girl."! .
