Need for money

To be honest, if Zhiqiu hadn't been too presumptuous this time, Tang Yuxiang really didn't want to be angry. Ever since she married into the Lin family, there was no one around her who could talk, and she didn't realize it until she bought Zhidong and Zhiqiu. Seeing that she has a partner by her side, she is no longer alone. She also lived a hard life before, so she didn't care much about her status. In her eyes, she treated these two little girls as her own sisters.

But she didn't expect that it was because of her soft heart that she doted on Zhiqiu like this!

If he doesn't rectify this time, Zhiqiu will fall into the hands of Mrs. Lin sooner or later, and by then, his life will be in danger.

It was the first time for Zhidong to see the Second Mistress being so angry, his heart tightened, he quickly shook Zhiqiu's shoulders, and urged: "Zhiqiu, haven't you seen that the Second Mistress is really angry, why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake."

After finishing speaking, she said to her master again: "Second Mistress, knowing that Qiu has a tendon and can't turn corners, just let her go once."

Tang Yuxiang knew that if she couldn't wake up Zhiqiu this time, it would be tantamount to harming her, so she ignored Zhidong's pleading, and said coldly: "Why, you dare to mock Grandma Fang in the morning, and now I don't even care about it inside?"

"Slaves don't dare." Zhiqiu felt resentful in his heart, bent his waist, and knelt straight in front of Tang Yuxiang. Because his face was swollen, Zhiqiu's voice was obviously out of tune, but the slight grievance, Still carry clearly.

"Hmph, you don't dare, why don't you dare? Who is Grandma Fang? She is the master and the second wife's wife in the future. Where do you have the courage to open your mouth to mock her!" If it was the past, Tang Yuxiang would have Helped Zhiqiu up, but today, she had to harden her heart.

Zhiqiu wiped away his tears, and said in a crying voice: "This servant just feels sorry for the master who didn't sleep well all night, so she spoke quickly and said the wrong thing."

Tang Yuxiang felt pain in her heart when she heard the words, and her face was complicated, "You and Zhidong love me, I know, but Grandma Fang can be mocked by you for a moment of quick talk? Don't you know that she was promised by the old lady herself?" Is the second master a flat wife? You are not mocking Grandma Fang, but provoking the majesty of the old matriarch!"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhidong and Zhiqiu's expressions changed drastically, they really didn't think of this.

Now in the Lin residence, who dares to challenge the majesty of Mrs. Lin?Isn't that the old birthday star who eats arsenic and thinks he has lived too long!

"To be more serious, you are hitting the old lady in the face!"

With a plop, Zhidong knelt down on the ground in fright, while Zhiqiu shuddered all over, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, which was like hitting the old lady in the face. Could it be that he was doomed this time?

"Second Grandma, you must have a way to save Zhiqiu, right?" Zhidong came back to his senses, put his knees on the ground, knelt down a few steps, hugged Tang Yuxiang's legs, and kept shaking them.

Tang Yuxiang actually didn't know whether Mrs. Lin would deal with Zhiqiu. The reason why she said this was to scare Zhiqiu well, so that she would restrain herself when she spoke and did things in the future, "I have a way? I What can I do? In the morning, I asked Zhiqiu to admit his mistake, and when Lin Zhou’s anger subsides, I can ask the old lady for an explanation, but what do you want me to do now?”

If Zhiqiu had admitted his mistake at that time, Tang Yuxiang could have said that Zhiqiu was quick to talk, it was an unintentional mistake, and Lin Zhou had already forgiven Zhiqiu, then Mrs. Lin might not pursue it after hearing this, or the punishment would be light Some, but at that time Zhiqiu said nothing and didn't look back, but wanted to go all the way to the dark, so if Mrs. Lin started to track it down, she, Tang Yuxiang, couldn't even find a better excuse, so how could she persuade Mrs. Lin? Jun punishes Zhiqiu.

In the Lin residence, she would not be lucky enough to think that such a big matter could be hidden from the ears of Mrs. Lin.

"Second Grandma, you have to think of a way." Hearing clearly that his companion had caused a catastrophe, Zhidong burst into tears, and he burst into tears all at once, grabbing the corner of Tang Yuxiang's skirt tightly. put.

Tang Yuxiang sighed softly. To be honest, if this matter really pissed off Mrs. Lin, what can Tang Yuxiang do? She doesn't know how much she has.

Of course, having said that, at that time, she would not just watch Zhiqiu being beaten to death.

When Zhiqiu first heard that she had offended Mrs. Lin, a layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on her forehead, but listening to it, her not very smart head suddenly opened up. Second Mistress can't interfere with this matter!

She is the second wife's close maid, and Grandma Fang will be the second wife's second wife in the future. Anyone with a little brain will think a little deeper. Is it because the second grandmother is behind this matter? The plan, the purpose, is very simple, that is, Tang Yuxiang saw that Lin Zhoushi was not pleasing to the eye, and became jealous, jealous, so she asked the maids around her to humiliate her intentionally, so as to show off her authority.

Mrs. Lin is already living like a human being, it is impossible not to think of this.

"Second Mistress, this incident was caused by my servant's quick talk. If the old matriarch really wants to punish this servant, please don't interfere." Zhiqiu knelt down and sat up slowly, with a somewhat calm voice. weird.

Tang Yuxiang and Zhidong looked at each other when they heard the words, and they couldn't understand why Zhiqiu seemed to be a different person all of a sudden, "Zhiqiu, you are my personal maid, I don't care about you, who cares about you!"

"The servant did something wrong and deserved to be punished. If the second mistress begged for the servant, what's the use of family law?" Zhiqiu lowered her head and replied softly.

"Are you afraid of hurting me?" Tang Yuxiang was not stupid, and had already figured this out.

Zhiqiu bit her lips firmly when she heard the words, tears streaming down her face, and stopped speaking.

First sighed softly, Tang Yuxiang stretched out her hand to help the two little girls up, seeing the red and purple finger prints on Zhiqiu's face, her heart softened, "Silly girl , you are my personal maid, I don't care about you, who will care about you!"

"This matter has reached the ears of the old matriarch. If I really want to punish you, I will try my best to be dismissed from Lin's mansion, and I will save your life!"

"Second Mistress, this servant is wrong, and this servant really knows it's wrong." Zhiqiu's eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Tang Yuxiang's chest, crying loudly.

Zhidong stood on the side, choked up, and finally hugged his master's arm tightly, and cried too.

Now that Zhiqiu has realized her mistake, Tang Yuxiang stopped talking about her, but asked Zhidong to bring the soup and ordered Zhiqiu to drink it first.

When Zhiqiu finished drinking the medicine, Tang Yuxiang said: "Zhiqiu, this matter is big or small, and it's all in the mind of the old lady, so I think we'd better go to Grandma Fang and tell her. Sorry, this way, when the old matriarch is in trouble, I can say something to intercede with you."

"But second grandma, you are the main wife. If you just go there and apologize to Grandma Fang, wouldn't you be short for nothing!" Until now, Zhiqiu still puts Tang Yuxiang's matter first.

Tang Yuxiang shook her head, and replied: "When is this, and you are still talking about this, besides, if you can really let the old lady forgive you, so what if you are a little shorter!"

"Can……"

What Zhiqiu wanted to say was interrupted by Tang Yuxiang directly, "Okay, don't talk about it, in fact, Grandma Fang is not a person without capacity, and she has been a widow for a few years at a young age, and she still has A child is really a miserable person."

Zhidong and Zhiqiu didn't say anything after hearing the words.

If you want to come to apologize, you can't do it empty-handed. Tang Yuxiang rummaged in her jewelry box for a long time, picked out a purple jade hairpin, and then made a few dishes of medicinal food with her own hands. Then she led the two little maids and went straight to Lin Zhou's courtyard.

Along the way, Tang Yuxiang forbade Zhiqiu to cover her face with a veil. That look was so miserable. In the eyes of some passers-by, she really won a lot of sympathy. Of course, the face of Zhiqiu, a big maid , can be regarded as lost.

Mrs. Lin Zhou was watching her son study, when suddenly she heard a report from a servant saying that the second grandmother led the maid and came to apologize in person, so she hurriedly straightened her clothes and greeted her outside the door. Lin Tian heard that When the second aunt came, she also put down her pen and ink, and followed.

For this second aunt, Lin Tian wanted to get close, but didn't have the courage.

"Second Grandma, what are you doing? It's such a big deal. You really don't have to be so concerned." Lin Zhou warmly took Tang Yuxiang's arm when she stepped out of the gate, and helped her into the hall.

Tang Yuxiang patted Lin Zhou's little hand, and sighed softly, "Guifang, my sister's lack of strict discipline has caused you to be so humiliated. If I don't come to apologize personally, I will feel very sorry."

As soon as her voice fell, Zhiqiu knelt down in front of Lin Zhou with a plop, and then kowtowed three times in succession, "Bang, bang, bang", "Grandma Fang, it was the servant girl who spoke quickly in the morning, and said If you should say something that should not be said, please forgive the servant this time if you have a lot of adults."

"Get up, in fact, I am not angry with you for a long time in my heart." Seeing Zhiqiu's miserable appearance, Lin Zhou also felt a pain in his heart. This must be very painful, have you taken any medicine?"

"Grandma Huifang, before the maidservant came, she had already taken medicine." Zhiqiu also knew that Mrs. Lin Zhou was a good person. At that time, she only satirized her master because she didn't have a good rest all night. Now seeing Lin Zhou With a concerned look on his face, he lowered his head in shame, feeling ashamed.

Tang Yuxiang saw that Lin Zhoushi was really not angry anymore, so she put her heart back in her stomach, and then took out a brocade box from her sleeve, which contained the purple jade hairpin, "Guifang, I made you angry today. Elder sister is really sorry, there is a small object in here, it should be regarded as an apology to you."

"No, my sister can't take this item." Hearing this, Mrs. Lin Zhou quickly reached out and returned the brocade box.

Tang Yuxiang didn't take back the gift, but just put it on the table next to her, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't be polite to me, hey, were you teaching Tian'er how to learn calligraphy just now?"

Halfway through speaking, she saw a pen, ink and inkstone on a small table not far away, and asked curiously.

Mrs. Lin Zhou is not a petty person either. Seeing that Tang Yuxiang had to give it away, she stopped talking. It only takes a few days for her to give another gift in return. When Tang Yuxiang talked about her son, her face immediately turned pale. A hint of love floated up, "Yes, Tian'er has been eager to learn since childhood, and has learned hundreds of words, Tian'er, come and meet Second Aunt."

What mother doesn't love her son?In Lin Zhou's heart, the smart and well-behaved Lin Tian has always been her pride.

Lin Tian took a step forward when he heard his mother's order, and bowed to Tang Yuxiang in a regular manner, "Nephew Lin Tian, ​​I have seen my second aunt."

"Tian'er is so good." Tang Yuxiang stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Tian closer. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. Then he said, "Tian'er, take Second Aunt to see what you wrote. , if the writing is good, Second Aunt will bring you delicious food."

Although Lin Tian met Tang Yuxiang several times, he was not familiar with him and was a little afraid of strangers. He turned his head and saw that his mother did not stop him, and nodded to himself with a smile. Then he dragged Tang Yuxiang to his small table and came to Coming closer, Tang Yuxiang picked up the paper on the table, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I'm still young, so it's pretty good to be able to write such a single stroke, but in some places, it's still a bit lacking."

Tang Yuxiang practiced calligraphy and reading with Xu Xiuqi since she was a child, and also practiced good handwriting. She took out a new piece of white paper, laid it flat on the table, then picked up a brush, dipped it in some ink, and handed it to Lin Tian's little hand.

Seeing Lin Tian took the brush, Tang Yuxiang came behind him, grabbed the pen holder above his little hand, and controlled the direction of the brush just like Xu Xiucai taught her to write when she was a child, and with the strength of the two, slowly wrote A word of 'day'.

This celestial character has obviously improved a lot. Lin Tian's face burst into joy when he saw this. He put the brush back on the inkstone, turned around, and shook Tang Yuxiang's big hand, "Second Aunt, Tian'er has already written very well, you have to bring something delicious for Tian'er."

Tang Yuxiang smiled when she heard the words, and nodded at Zhidong. Seeing this, Zhidong took out several plates of desserts from the lunch box she brought, put them on the table, and said with a smile:

"Grandma Fang, this is the medicinal food that Second Grandma personally made for you."

Mrs. Lin Zhou said with a smile, "I've heard people say that Second Grandma's cooking skills are extraordinary. Today, my sister finally has the opportunity to taste it." After finishing speaking, she picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up some snacks, Putting it in his mouth, he only took a few bites, and then praised it again and again.

Because of the strict control of his mother on weekdays, Lin Tian has no good food and often eats snacks. At this time, his eyes lit up and he stared at the plate of snacks. Tang Yuxiang saw that he was cute, so he took his little hand and came When he arrived at the table, he picked up a small piece with his fingers and put it near his mouth. He thought that Lin Tian would not be able to resist eating it in one bite, but at the last moment, Lin Tian resisted it and said, : "Second aunt, if Tian'er doesn't eat sweethearts, can I change my request?"

Tang Yuxiang was taken aback, and asked instinctively, "What do you want in exchange?"

"Tian'er wants to ask the second aunt to lend the second uncle to Tian'er for a day. Tian'er heard from his mother that the second uncle sleeps with the second aunt every day."
