Chapter 204 Each has a plan
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "snap", and he was slapped on the face.Mrs. Tong stared at her, her eyes seemed to be blazing, Ruan Mingdie also fell silent suddenly, Caifeng was anxious to persuade her, and suddenly Ruan Mingdie stood up and said coldly: "Mom now only talks about my identity. Noble, you shouldn't think about being someone else's concubine, but why were you not the daughter of a high-ranking official back then? Didn't you also give your father a continuation? These years, the grandfather's family has declined, and our Hou's mansion is not a hot and powerful person, you Why bother to hold on to your noble dream? Mother, now that something so big has happened, you should wake up from that dream."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Mrs. Tong to speak.Here Mrs. Tong was so angry that she couldn't move, Caifeng kept persuading her in a low voice, until she saw Ruan Mingdie's figure go out, she came to the door, looked around, then turned back, and whispered to Mrs Tong: " Madam, don't be angry, and let the servants interrupt, maybe... the girl's plan can't be said badly."

Mrs. Tong immediately glared at her, as if she was about to eat people, and said sullenly: "You also want my daughter to be a concubine? Although the Hou Mansion has fallen, she is still a nobleman, so what can she say? Concubine..."

Caifeng didn't wait for her to finish, she smiled and said: "Ma'am, don't be upset, the girl is young and has little experience, what do you know? When I saw the battle yesterday, I was frightened, thinking that our Hou's mansion is now a mansion. Tilting. It should have been like this in the first place, but it is different now. Who would have thought that the young man would intervene halfway? Hehe, no matter what, the young man is willing to help the old man for the sake of his face, that is He still remembers the old friendship between our Hou Mansion and the Duke's Mansion in his heart. As long as he still remembers, our Hou Mansion may have a difficult time for a while, but we will eventually get over it. Madam, do you think it makes sense? "

Mrs. Tong's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and she was noncommittal to Caifeng's words, but her eyes moved to her face, and she said in a deep voice: "So what? What does it have to do with Qiyatou's future? Don't you Can you see? That girl was so dazed that she... even said such shameless words."

Caifeng hurriedly laughed and said: "Madam also came here when she was a girl. As the saying goes, which girl does not have a spring? But the young man is such an outstanding person, why can't the girl be fascinated? Let the servants see, this matter seems to be true." It’s not that there’s nothing we can do. As long as we make good use of our friendship with the young master, show us more kindness, as the old saying goes, don’t reach out to smile people, let’s put down our posture and show more kindness. I must be ashamed to treat us coldly. In the future, the two families will gradually get closer, so how dare you guarantee that Seventh Miss and the young man will not succeed? Seventh Miss is the daughter of Huanghua, or the prostitute of the Hou family. Doesn't it humiliate him?"

When Mrs. Tong told Caifeng to say this, she couldn't help but feel ready to move.She is a mean and vicious woman, but she is not a smart person. All these years, she has only relied on the pampering and indulgence of the old marquis to gain power in the mansion. Not convinced by her.Otherwise, as long as she had a bit of scheming, she would never have made trouble to the point where she lost 20 silver in vain, so that she almost didn't even have a foothold in the Hou's mansion.

I think that in front of Su Mingxi that day, her performance was a little worse than that of her own daughter.It was only after Su Mingxi refused straight away that he let go of this thought.At this time, let Caifeng say this, and then think of her daughter's appearance just now, it is clear that she has a deep-rooted love for Su Mingxi. , but he is also a man after all, right?Don't you believe that a charming and noble girl from a famous family can't arouse his affection?My Die'er is obviously more beautiful than her three older sisters.

Thinking about it this way made my heart move even more.Thinking that once her daughter can really marry Su Mingxi, then her position in this family can be regained again. For a while, she felt that the oppression in her chest was swept away. At this time, Fang felt hungry. The porridge was brought over, and he ate it all in one go.

Caifeng watched from the side, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Ma'am, that's right, don't care what it is, if the sky falls, there will be a tall person to support it, so don't worry, the days to come will be long, you After all, she is still the head wife of the Hou Mansion."

After finishing talking, he packed up the dishes and went out, and saw a figure disappearing in a flash around the corner of the house. The color was clearly the color of the clothes Ruan Mingdie wore just now.Caifeng understood in her heart, she pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, although girls are valuable, it is important, but sometimes, men don't like them if they are too reserved, now that Miss Seven knows that his wife has let go, she He is a smart person, so he must know how to control this speed.

Asking the little maid to take the bowls and chopsticks, Caifeng returned to the room, and saw Madam Tong drinking tea slowly, her eyes were full of brilliance that she hadn't seen for a long time. Seeing her coming in, the woman said slowly: "Yesterday was too chaotic, and I didn't have the time to ask, what's the matter? I heard that the woman who escaped from marriage came back? Hehe, it's so funny, she still has the face to come back. It seems that I really underestimated her face. How is it?" Did the young man see her? Si Qi is an idiot, why don't you quickly hug the big tree of the young man and let that woman come back? When I saw that woman, I refused to use even a single ounce of strength."

Caifeng quickly laughed and said: "The servant has been here to serve the wife, and I don't know the specifics very well. I only heard that the woman came back, she seemed to bring some silver, and gave some to the young man on the spot. Speaking of which, the young man It's really magnanimous. When I saw that woman, I couldn't hold back and didn't turn my face on the spot. It's just that when I walked out, I heard that her face was not good-looking. Madam, you see, the uncle is indeed too reckless and confused, and the woman doesn't care about face. That's right, it seems that yesterday she gave a few aunts a blow in public, tsk tsk, madam, what's the point? She did such a shameless thing that day, but now that she came back, not only did she not admit her mistake, but she showed off her power. The women in the back house were really stunned by what happened yesterday, and none of them came forward to take her down, maybe even their wives came forward..."

Mrs. Tong waved her hand to stop Caifeng from continuing. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "No hurry. Caifeng, I really went too far this time. I'm afraid there is one person in this house who Counting one, everyone wants to tear off my flesh, that is, the master has suffered a stroke and can't speak or write, otherwise, I guess I can't even have such a place to eat and drink in the Hou's mansion right now. At such a juncture, that woman jumped out, just to take away some of the hatred others have for me. Let her make trouble slowly, and wait until she makes the backyard miserable, and then we will go out to clean up the mess, and then , People who have been bullied by her can't care about hating me. Maybe if I take her down, those aunts don't know how to thank me. Hmph! , those aunts and I are her elders, how can we turn her upside down?"

Caifeng thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but clapped her hands, and said with a heartfelt admiration and smile: "Gao, it's my wife who is amazing, you can see it so clearly. This servant is really confused. Fortunately, this servant is only loyal to my wife, thinking that I must not Letting the power in the hands of the wife make it easier for others, and this will cover up the other stupidities of the servants, anyway, the wife makes up her mind."

"Hmph! You're really good at trickery." Mrs. Tong pretended to snort coldly, but there were layers of smiles on her face.

************************************
"This is the roster of the servants of the Hou Mansion. This is the account book. I checked it with your sister-in-law last night. There is only one hundred and sixty taels of money left on the account. Finally, some antiques in my room with Dad I was not fooled by the lady with long claws. If I went out, I would be able to collect 2000 taels of silver. In addition, I can’t give the 2000 taels of silver I have saved to my sister at this time. Come out and stay to get through this difficult time."

Ruan Siqi pushed the account book and roster in front of Ruan Yunsi, and said solemnly: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the money must never be touched again. During the Chinese New Year, a mere few thousand taels of silver is not enough, let alone us. Year? In previous years, I didn’t talk about anything else, just the red envelopes, New Year’s clothes and monthly money for the servants, which cost seven to eight hundred silver, and this was just for the servants. Don’t the masters make new clothes? Don’t you buy gold jewelry? Which of those aunts is easy to deal with?"

Ruan Yunsi flipped through the ledger and roster, and nodded slowly while listening to her brother.Suddenly I heard Mrs. Gu say: "Sister, our family is really struggling now. I discussed with your brother, why not cut down some servants. We don't have any land rent to collect this year, let alone those annual rites of filial piety in the farm. But there are always hundreds of people in this clan, and every household has to give out things in the past, what will we do this year? Sigh! This is really a big headache when you think about it."

Ruan Yunsi closed the roster, and said calmly: "Our family has never used long-term workers. Now the people in the mansion are servants and family-born children. Now that my brother and sister-in-law say they want to cut them, where do they put them? What's more, there are only more than 200 people. People, this is not a lot in the rich and noble family, and they are all useful people, if they are cut off, it will be even more a joke, and the Hou Mansion cannot let people see this joke at this time."

Ruan Siqi sighed: "I don't know what you're talking about? It's just that... now I really have a big head. People say that a penny can't kill a hero. Now we obviously have thousands of silver, but we feel that it's not enough. Dong It's also a hole, and it's also a hole, this... this still owes money to the little eunuch."

　It’s almost the end of the month, children who have guaranteed monthly tickets, reach out, 5555555555555, they have fallen out of the top [-]
