Begin your journey to the heavens from knowing or not

"My aunt is a person who spends her money wisely. Officer, you shouldn't let her embarrass herself in front of my father and my wife..."

On the way home, in the carriage, Minglan couldn't help but say worriedly when she heard Xu Wenhui's retelling!

She was not surprised at Qi Heng's indifference attitude, but she was a little worried when she heard Xu Wenhui's last words teasing Aunt Kang!

She knows best what kind of temper her aunt is, that is, she is a poisonous scorpion hiding in the dark, even if Xu Wenhui is so powerful now, she appears to be subdued! But secretly he will never give up! She didn't necessarily play with her poisonous needle and give it to the Xu family at any time!

Xu Wenhui did not directly respond to Minglan's topic. He picked up a piece of pastry from the food box in front of him and put it in his mouth. He tasted it and thought it tasted okay. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Huh? It tastes good, and it's stuffed with red bean paste. Did my great-aunt make it?"

Xu Wenhui had plans in mind for Aunt Kang, but after all, Aunt Kang was Minglan's direct aunt, which made Minglan feel awkward. Xu Wenhui thought it would be better not to tell her the truth!
Minglan obviously saw what Xu Wenhui meant, and didn't say anything after hearing the words. After all, it seemed that Xu Wenhui had taken it to heart, so she stopped asking. She believed that Xu Wenhui could still handle it for a mere wife of the Kang family. !
So he followed Xu Wenhui's question, also focused on the cakes, and said:
"Yes, grandma had this prepared! At the last banquet, grandma saw that you really liked food, so she had more prepared this time! Let you take it home and eat it slowly!"

"Well, my aunt is still very careful! Remember that I like to eat this!" As he said this, Xu Wenhui felt that he was almost home, but suddenly he thought that there were still some unfinished matters at home, and it was no longer good to hide it from Minglan at this time. I told you about the incident where I punished several servants after hearing gossip!

Upon hearing this, Minglan frowned slightly at first, but soon relaxed and said:

"That's right. An official is the head of the family. Isn't it normal to deal with a few servants who can't control their mouths?"

Xu Wenhui was very satisfied with Minglan's answer. Although he said that he had violated the agreement first, Minglan's attitude of 'submitting' to his master so quickly was worthy of praise!
Seeing Xu Wenhui nodding with satisfaction, Minglan took the opportunity to continue:
"Officer, the servants in the front yards can just deal with it, but you can no longer take care of Aunt Zhou in my grandmother's yard!"

Upon hearing Minglan's request, Xu Wenhui couldn't help but look at Minglan seriously and asked:

"Do you know that if we don't deal with that Nanny Zhou this time, these servants will never end it!"

He dealt with Aunt Zhou for the sake of Minglan. These servants were most attuned to the situation. If they didn't deal with Aunt Zhou this time, they might underestimate Minglan, which would be detrimental to Butler Minglan!

Minglan obviously understood the reason, but still shook his head and said with a very serious expression:
"I know, but Grandma Zhou is an old man next to my grandmother. If there is a rift between you and my grandmother because of this matter, it is because of me, my granddaughter-in-law! I hope you can agree to this, my concubine. Room request this time!

Moreover, in the final analysis, this matter still depends on my grandmother's attitude. When I get my grandmother's favor in the future, these will not matter!

If you really deal with Aunt Zhou because of this matter, grandma might put the blame on me. Wouldn't that make it more difficult for me to get close to grandma? "

Xu Wenhui pondered for a moment, and finally sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Well, in that case, it's up to you! But you have to be mentally prepared! My grandmother doesn't change her mind so easily!"

The more experience a person has, the more confident he will be, and the more stubborn he will be. Especially as he gets older, stubbornness becomes more powerful!

The same is true for Mrs. Xu. It’s hard to change things that you’re sure of!

If Xu Wenhui hadn't risen to prominence so quickly and made so many achievements, his grandmother might not be able to resist some things!
Minglan was not worried at all and said confidently:

"Don't worry, officer! I believe that sincerity can make a difference! If it doesn't work in one or two months, it will work in one or two years! If it doesn't work in three or four years? Seven or eight years? It doesn't matter to me!
But if I sincerely serve my grandmother, she will definitely be soft-hearted! I still have this little bit of confidence! "

Seeing how confident Minglan was, Xu Wenhui also felt that he had gained a lot of confidence and said with a smile:

"Okay, then it's up to you! Come on, this orange tastes good, you should try it too!"

"Yeah, let me try it! Well...it tastes really good. Come on, you can try it too!"

……

At this time, Yongyi Houfu,

In Ning'an Hall,

The Aunt Zhou mentioned by Xu Wenhui and Minglan was kneeling in front of Mrs. Xu with tears and snot in her eyes, begging for mercy.
This week, grandma is wearing a gray robe and a flowered headscarf. She is very meticulous and neat! It looks like life is going well! Somewhat decent!

But now he is kneeling on the ground. He kowtowed a few times just now. There is some dust on his forehead, plus most of his nose and tears, he looks a bit embarrassed!
Just listen to Aunt Zhou crying and saying:

"Old lady, you have to be careful! It's all those despicable idiots who talk nonsense. They were afraid of being severely punished, but they slandered this old slave! You have to make the decision for me!
Now the young Marquis has known about this, and was deceived by those idiots, thinking that it was the old slave who did it!
You, the old man, know the temper of the little Marquis, and you can't rub the sand out of his eyes. You will definitely not be able to spare me these few taels of meat this time!
But this time... this time the old slave was really unjust!

Old lady, for the sake of this old slave serving you, I beg you, please say a few kind words to the old slave in front of the little Marquis, so that the little Marquis can spare the old slave’s life! Old slave, I...I don’t want to die yet..."

This week, Grandma has been an old servant for many years, and she is working next to the old lady. She can notice the slightest disturbance in the house!

What's more, Xu Wenhui dealt with many servants this time, and there was quite a stir!

So Grandma Zhou got the news very quickly, so she was so frightened that she ran to Ning'antang to seek refuge with Mrs. Xu!
This week, Mammy Zhou was quite old and had gray hair on her temples. She still looked a bit desolate when she knelt there and cried. It was a master-servant friendship for half a lifetime. Naturally, Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to see it and quickly raised her head. Holding hands weakly,

"Okay, okay! Don't cry! You are at the age where your grandchildren can wrap around your knees. Stop kneeling and stand up first before talking!"

"Thank you, old lady! The old lady is the most kind-hearted person. This old slave is saved!" Aunt Zhou stood up gratefully while wiping her tears!
"Okay! Look at your little potential, it's just a few idle words. Could it be that Hui'er can really kill you!" After saying a few words indifferently, Mrs. Xu had another look on her face. He said sternly: "But you have to behave yourself. Minglan is the wife Hui'er Mingmatch is marrying. I think you should know some things that you should or shouldn't say! You are the grandma who came from my side. You have to act more cautiously!”

Mrs. Xu also comes from a big family, so she still understands the truth. It's one thing that she doesn't like Minglan very much, but she doesn't allow people to make random comments! That is breaking the rules of respect and inferiority! Absolutely not allowed! Naturally, Grandma Zhou did not dare to admit that she had gossiped, so she quickly explained with an aggrieved look on her face.

"It's such an injustice. How dare I, old slave, make up the misfortune of the eldest lady? There is absolutely no such thing! This must be an attempt by those despicable idiots to escape..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu glared at Aunt Zhou angrily,
"Okay! Do you dare to say that you didn't say it? If you didn't, why did you come to me to see me? Since it's nothing, you can just ignore it! Could it be that Hui'er can still unjustly accuse you?"

She knows the character of the women around her best. If this Aunt Zhou hadn't felt guilty, she would never have come here to specifically seek asylum!
He must have really said something inappropriate and let his grandson know about it, so he was so frightened!
Seeing that Mrs. Xu noticed it, Grandma Zhou smiled and said:

"This...old lady, you are really discerning! In fact, the old slave drank too much wine once! I was confused and said a few more words for some reason, but the old slave was definitely unintentional. The old slave followed the old slave. Madam, you have known me for many years, how dare I arrange it for you, even if you give me ten courages, I wouldn’t dare!”

Of course, Grandma Zhou didn't say something nonsense because she was drunk. She just saw the old lady emphasizing the rules, so she found an excuse!

The Aunt Zhou that Old Mrs. Xu knew was the Aunt Zhou in the early years. Now Aunt Zhou is an old man in the Hou Mansion. She has high qualifications and the support of the old lady. In fact, she is not afraid of Minglan!

Seeing that the old lady didn't like Minglan very much on weekdays, and Minglan was born as a low-ranking official and a concubine, Grandma Zhou seemed a little jealous this week, so she often gossiped!

Mrs. Xu didn't know about this situation. When she saw Grandma Zhou admitting that she had seen through, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, feeling that it was just as she expected!
But on his face, he pretended to be angry and pointed at Grandma Zhou and scolded:

"You bastard! How old are you, and you still can't control your stinky mouth? Sooner or later, I think you're going to spoil that mouth! Hmph!"

In fact, although these servants are not allowed to arrange Minglan, because Mrs. Xu herself doesn't like Minglan, she is not as angry about this matter as she imagined!
Aunt Zhou has followed Mrs. Xu for many years and served her for half her life! Why can't I see that Mrs. Xu is not really angry? I can't help but feel overjoyed. With the old lady coming forward, it seems that this time it is safe!

He was happy in his heart, but pretended to be annoyed and slapped his mouth twice.

"Old slave deserves to die! Old slave deserves to die!"

After the beating, Grandma Zhou gritted her teeth again with a distressed look on her face and said:

"I promise, I will never drink alcohol again in the future... If I drink alcohol again and cause trouble, I will jump into the Bian River to wake up!"

Aunt Zhou looked so painful, as if it was going to kill her, which made Mrs. Xu point at Aunt Zhou and laugh.
"How old are you! Why are you acting like those monkeys outside? That's all! It's just drinking. Just keep your mouth shut!"

"Thank you, old lady. Old lady, you are really a living Buddha! You also know that we are all so old, so we have to find some hobbies, right? I have no other love for you, I just love to eat two cups! If we don't have that thing, Son, I'm so slanderous!" Seeing that the old lady was happy, Grandma Zhou took the opportunity to ask cautiously:
"Old lady, where is the young Marquis... can you take a look...?"

When Mrs. Xu heard Grandma Zhou ask this, she also suppressed the smile on her face and became serious!

This grandson is now more dignified as his official status increases, and he is not as obedient as he was when he was a child!

In addition, Mrs. Xu knew that Xu Wenhui loved Minglan,

So when she mentioned this matter to Xu Wenhui, she herself was somewhat troubled, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a big deal, so she paused and said:

"I just heard that Hui'er went out. When Hui'er comes back, I will tell him! But you, an old guy, have to apologize in front of Minglan. This matter is always your fault! Let others find fault. !”

"That's natural. When the eldest lady comes back, I will go there immediately!"

Naturally, Aunt Zhou nodded her head repeatedly. For a person like her, her face was as thick as a city wall. An apology to the host's wife was nothing at all! However, thinking of Xu Wenhui's temper, Grandma Zhou was still a little frightened, so she asked tentatively:

"Old lady, please see if I can apologize to the eldest lady in front of you! If by any chance I meet the young Marquis alone in the past... I'm afraid..."

Mrs. Xu understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. Aunt Zhou was afraid that she would be punished by Xu Wenhui before she could even apologize!

When Mrs. Xu was about to speak, she felt that Aunt Zhou was too careful, but after thinking about it, she realized it made sense. Her grandson could do such a thing!

Thinking back to when Xu Wenhui beat his niece Li Qiyan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yue State, he would beat her whenever he wanted, not to mention the old servant woman next to her, who had no scruples!

So after thinking about it, he turned to look at a maid and said:

"You go to the front yard and wait. When the young master and the others come back, ask them to come with me! Just tell him that I have something to tell him!"

"Yes, old lady! I'll go right now!"

The maid naturally accepted the order and said yes, saluted and went out!
At this time, Mrs. Xu turned to look at Aunt Zhou,

"Well, don't worry about these!"

"Thank you, old lady! Thank you, old lady! Old lady, in my eyes, you are simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva! This time, I am really grateful to you!"

Naturally, Grandma Zhou also heard Mrs. Xu’s instructions, and felt relieved after hearing this! When he heard the inquiry, he naturally saluted Mrs. Xu repeatedly with a grateful look on his face! (End of chapter)
