Lady's life after time travel

Chapter 56

And Mrs. Zheng, who came back to the house, was also a little unhappy. She has been flattering the old matriarch for so long and hasn't let the old matriarch let go. Is it really not possible?But thinking of the 500 taels of silver sent by my brother, if I can't do this well, the silver will be gone, and I will lose face in my natal family in the future.

When her husband Xiao Jihao came back, she was still walking around the room.

"What is this for?" Xiao Jihao has been entrusted by his elder brother to manage several public shops in the past few years. He has done well, and he has a goal to fight for, so he doesn't feel that he is useless.

Mrs. Zheng hadn't told her husband about her brother yet, but when her husband asked about it, she said, "My brother is going to be promoted."

"That's a good thing." But why are you spinning around?

"It's a good thing, but my brother wants to find an official in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is no way now." Zheng continued.

Xiao Jihao knew his wife's virtues, she must have failed the old lady, otherwise she wouldn't be like this, so he said: "What's so good about going to the suburbs of Beijing? It's also at the feet of the emperor. If something goes wrong, it's a big deal. What's the matter?" Why don't you go to other places, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I remember that my brother-in-law will be promoted to the next level to be the county magistrate. When you are a county magistrate in other places, others take you seriously. When you arrive in Beijing, who knows who you are? I don't If you are an official, you can let him do things, not to mention filial piety in many ways, there may be a famine throughout the year, and what is more important is that if you offend your boss, the loss outweighs the gain, and whether the official position can be guaranteed is a problem."

"I just said that one sentence, but you have so many sentences waiting for me here. Isn't my brother the in-law of the protector of the country? Others don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, why can't he be an official? You guys The Xiao family is afraid of things and avoids everything, so what?

Don't I know that it is better to be an official in another place than in the suburbs of Beijing?But the children of the brother's family have reached the age of getting married. Isn't there a better choice in Beijing?Do you still want to stay in a small place for a lifetime?

I don't have a natal family here either, so I want to be closer to my brother? "She originally wanted to say that people from the Jiangnan family looked down on her family, but when she thought that it was Mrs. Zheng's natal family, she dared not say it out.

"What do you call your Xiao family? Don't you belong to the Xiao family? I said, have you benefited from your brother? Why did you even come up with such a reason? When is it your turn to worry about their children's marriage? I remember you used to always say that your siblings are not good anywhere, why is it changed now? Let me tell you, you can’t do the cash register. If you let me know, you just wait and see. I'm short of money, can you do this?" Xiao Jihao looked at Zheng Shi suspiciously.

Mrs. Zheng said loudly: "Who has collected the money? Who has collected the money? Am I that shallow-sighted person? I have a lot of money in my hand, can I do it to me? That is my real brother!" "

People who are harsh and soft on the inside are often loud, Xiao Jihao didn't think of this, he was just annoyed by his wife and noisy, so he flicked his sleeves, went to the concubine's room, slapped Zheng on the table angrily, and scolded the vixen!

The news that Sanfang was thinking about going to another place to work also spread in the mansion, because it was the second half of the year, and there were not many shortages, so he could only go there in the spring of the second year at the earliest.But because of this matter, Quan's and Zheng's secretly fought against each other for a long time.

The Quan family wanted to show off in front of the Zheng family, probably because they lost face during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Zheng family could still please the old matriarch and his sister-in-law, but for the third sister-in-law Quan's husband who was also a concubine In front of her, she didn't have the slightest intention to flatter her, so she said: "Congratulations to the third brother and the third sister-in-law, but I don't know if the third brother has a temperament that doesn't care about anything, will the third sister-in-law have to worry about everything when he gets to the place?" Haha, when the time comes, it may not be true that the people on that side only know that there is a third sister-in-law but not a third brother. Ha ha."

Quan's mouth can't say anything better than Zheng's. I think that Zheng's life in this mansion for so many years is because he can please Mrs. Zheng. The niece of Marquis Zhenyuan also thinks her status is higher than this Zheng's, so of course her mouth is not as sharp as Zheng's. After hearing this, she was so angry that she wanted to slap Zheng's mouth, but years of upbringing told her not to do this, so she just With a snort, he said, "I know you are jealous, so I won't care about you like sister-in-law three, let's go!" A group of people walked away, leaving Mrs. Zheng and her servants trembling with fear. Shi loses his temper.

Mrs. Zheng would not go to war with these servants in public, she still wanted to maintain her face, and hoped that the old lady would hear good things about herself, so she walked away after a while, but it is said that the four The master hid out and didn't come back for several days.

What Zheng thinks in his heart is, if you ask you to do things for your brothers, you will push back and forth, but for your own family, you are not ambiguous at all, old lady, old lady, if you want to say that the third master is not with you My son is not related by blood. My brother is more or less related to you. It is supposed to be closer. How can you do this?

But she only dared to mutter behind her back, and looked at the money her brother gave with distress when it was over, did she really want to send it back to him?Let's wait, they will also go to Beijing at the end of the year, we will talk about it then.

In the blink of an eye, it's October, the weather is getting colder, and the battle between the third and fourth bedrooms has come to an end.The stewards of Zhuangzi and shops outside the Duke of the Protector’s Mansion have to come back one after another to meet with the master. Firstly, to report the book situation to the master. Secondly, many family members of the stewards are also in the capital. reunion.

Although there are still two months to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the purchasing managers in the house have started to buy new year's goods. In addition to asking a servant to wait for each person to make a set of clothes, the masters also have other things to prepare. The women are jewelry. And so on, one style is required every year, and the men are based on their personal hobbies, or the four treasures of the study, or rare antiques, and must ensure that everyone is satisfied, so it is not an easy job to be in charge of purchasing.

"Sixth sister, how about going to my place later?" Sister Ting, who never took the initiative to invite people, invited Jingshu, which surprised Jingshu, but quickly smiled and said: "Okay, is it fifth sister?" What's delicious there, you want me to eat alone."

Sister Ting smiled shyly, "No, no, I have something to do with you." The following words became lighter and lighter.

"I know, but you must give me some snacks when I go, or I won't be happy."

"Well, there must be some snacks." Sister Ting breathed a sigh of relief.

That's what Jing Shu said, now that girl doesn't have any snacks in her room, she just wants sister Ting to be less nervous.

After finishing her boudoir school, Jing Shu asked her to go back and talk to Mrs. Qin more or less first, and then took Yun Xiu to Sister Ting's house.

After eating a few bites of snacks and drinking another cup of tea, Sister Ting hadn't spoken yet, Jing Shu felt that she couldn't wait any longer, so she asked, "Sister Fifth, what's the matter with you?"

Sister Ting thought for a while and made up her mind: "Sixth sister, can you tell the old lady to let me stay in the capital next year, I don't want to go out."

It turned out that this was the matter, but the third aunt Quan did not reveal that she wanted to bring the child there.Jingshu asked: "The third aunt said that she would

Did you take it with you? "

Sister Ting shook her head and said, "No, but I'm worried, I don't want to leave here."

Jingshu thought that the third aunt would definitely not bring Sister Ting there, because with the temper of the third aunt, she wished that Sister Ting would stay in this mansion. If you know that when you go to other places, you will have to pay for food and clothing. She took it out by herself, how could it be compared to letting the children stay in the mansion, since they would be taught, and it would save money, without asking her to bother.

So Jing Shu said: "Don't worry, Third Aunt will definitely keep you in Beijing."

"Really?" Sister Ting asked.

"Really, I promise!" Besides, it is estimated that Sister Yun and Brother Yong will have to stay here, maybe the third aunt won't even take away a concubine, so let them stay alone in this mansion .

"Jingshu, I believe in you!" Sister Ting made up her mind again and decided to tell what she saw that time, but she couldn't say anything out of her mouth, she could only say: "There is something, I, I, I" I didn't say it for a long time.

Jing Shu hurriedly said: "Fifth Sister, don't mention the past, let's do well in the future, isn't it better than always remembering the past?"

"Oh, oh, I see." I don't know if Sister Ting understood, I hope she can no longer remember this matter.
