Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 94
Shen Bixiang put down the chess pieces and got up, led Mother Du out, Chu Lingyue followed, and arrived outside Linglong Courtyard not long after.

"What's going on?" Shen Bixiang saw a few people tied up at the door when they arrived, leaning against each other limply, wondering if they had passed out.

"Greetings to Madam, these people tried to steal firewood in the middle of the night, but I overwhelmed them." Xiang'er stepped forward, told the story, and took Shen Bixiang to see the firewood room at the door and the ear room not far away.

To be precise, these people did not come to steal firewood, but to move the firewood from the firewood room at the door to the ear room next to Chu Lingyue's room.

"Ma'am, the maids sleep in the anteroom in winter, so that they can take care of the kang at night. In summer, no one sleeps in the anteroom." Mei Xiang reported behind Shen Bixiang, but she broke out in a cold sweat.

The design of the rooms in Weiyuanhou's Mansion is similar. The walls are double-layered. It is cold in winter, and a fire is lit inside. The heat wafts along the gaps between the walls, and the whole room can be warmed into spring in a short time.Such a room structure can also play a good role in heat insulation in summer.And the side room has a separate door, which is a separate room, so as to prevent the dust from the charcoal fire from floating out and making the room smoky.On weekdays, if it is not necessary to take care of the charcoal fire, the maids will not come here.

He moved the charcoal fire here today, and it was clear that he wanted to heat someone to death.

Shen Bixiang frowned and looked back at Chu Lingyue. Chu Lingyue gave her a helpless look and motioned to take him down first.

"Does my aunt also think it's weird?" Chu Lingyue and Shen Bixiang stood in the corridor, and it was hard to see what emotions she was hiding in the darkness.

"After all, they are related by blood, why just..." Needless to say, Shen Bixiang knew who did it. On weekdays, seeing Sun Qionghe picking his nose and eyes at Chu Lingyue all kinds of things, he thought it was just trying to win favor. It's a small fight, and I won't do such a vicious trick.

I saw you today, I didn't expect...

"Ling Yue, don't worry, my aunt will give you peace of mind!"

"Auntie, please don't mention it. Liuliyuan has done this kind of thing not once or twice. If Auntie is ruthless this time to rectify it, Auntie Sun will inevitably make a fuss, saying that Auntie is deliberately embarrassing. It’s my aunt who bribed these people to pour dirty water on her. It’s better to press it and not mention it, and wait for the future to make a big effort and break it with one blow.”

After hearing this, Shen Bixiang nodded, ordered a three-month fine, and then released him.

After learning that this plan did not do anything to Chu Lingyue, Lu Mingmei had no choice but to endure it.But when he thought that Shen Bixiang hadn't sold out some of his servants, he suddenly felt that things might not turn around.

So, life is in this kind of you fighting, I live in defense.

In a blink of an eye, it is winter, and soon it will be New Years.Murong Jing came over quietly from time to time, leaving some small things to amuse her. She was delighted to see it, but she didn't understand what he was up to.

From the beginning of summer to the present, the two of them can't be said to be fighting each other, but it doesn't mean that they are not interested in each other.But why did Murong Jing hold back his temper and keep dating in such a sneaky way? Could it be that he has a hobby of cheating?

Lan Xi looked at Chu Lingyue's sullen look a little strangely since Taixue's annual vacation, and saw Chu Lingyue frowning for a while and being happy for a while. Thinking of the gadgets that often appear in the room, she suddenly understood that Chu Lingyue was thinking about the future things.

So he quietly put down the roasted chestnuts on the stove, took Mei Xiang and ran out to gossip.

"Miss is definitely interested in someone!"

Mei Xiang was embroidering, and she almost pricked her hands when she pulled her like that, so she gave her an angry look, put the embroidery bandage into her arms and said, "I think you are the one in love, I'll go tell the miss She betrothed you to a family!"

Lan Xi refused to listen to it, and the two got into a fight after a while. Seeing the two quarreling, Chu Lingyue smiled and got up, took the cloak and went outside to watch the snow.

There is an unwritten rule in the Marquis of Weiyuan, that is, when Linglong Courtyard is in good times, Liuli Courtyard must be in trouble.For the past six months, Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei had a difficult life.Lu Hengtao is fine, he is a man, and he usually wears official clothes in court, and he is not very picky about the cost of food and clothing, so he was not affected by Shen Bixiang when he was in charge of the house.

However, since the summer, Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei have been living worse day by day.At the beginning of summer, at any rate, Shen Bixiang decided to make three sets of clothes for everyone in the family, Qing Yishui Jiangnan silk, it's nothing to say.But in winter, Shen Bixiang actually said that the money was not in hand, so he changed the three clothes into one. It was not made of expensive fabrics, but cotton!

"Aunt Sun doesn't know, it's best to wear this cotton cloth in winter. It keeps warm and absorbs sweat without freezing the body." The mother who came to deliver the clothes laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, but Sun Qionghe couldn't help but get angry.

Ever since she was born, no one in his family has ever worn such a vulgar material!
"Didn't mom lie to me? Why does the young lady have that brocade on her body? You can't pretend I'm blind!" Sun Qionghe knew how to be patient, but Lu Mingmei couldn't bear it, pointing at the mother who delivered the clothes and scolding.

Shen Bixiang is in charge of the family, and he is well-defined in rewards and punishments. He is also considerate and caring for his servants, and the servants have become more confident. Seeing Lu Mingmei scolding so indiscriminately, her mother immediately became unhappy: "Second Miss said this is What's the matter, the madam made herself a cotton dress, as did Lord Hou's! Missy is a daughter, so what's wrong with loving beautiful clothes? Besides, Missy's clothes are not the money of the old man who left, they are The eldest lady paid for it by a tailor outside."

After finishing speaking, mother put down her clothes and turned around to leave. Before leaving, she still took a disdainful look at the tea money offered by Qiuxiang.

This mother didn't follow suit, no matter what, she had to have her own small treasury.

Sun Qionghe endured it, picked up the cotton coat and threw it out.

Looking at the servants coming and going, Sun Qionghe still felt that money could turn ghosts around. If she didn't find a way to get some money, she would go crazy.

In previous years, she did not celebrate the New Year with Lu Hengtao, but spent it by herself in the house outside, or went back to Sun Shangshu.This year, I came to the Marquis of Weiyuan, and it was particularly depressed.Thinking of this, Sun Qionghe's gums became sour. After thinking about it, Sun Qionghe got up and took Qiuxiang to Kunwu courtyard.

In the Kunwu Courtyard, Shen Bixiang was talking to Chu Lingyue and Chu Tengyun that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the mansion has a lot of income, and there may not be enough manpower, let's see if the two of them have any ideas.

"Auntie, don't make it difficult for me." Chu Lingyue shook her head repeatedly when she heard this. How could she, a little girl, know so many family affairs, let alone some personnel matters.Mama Du is a good one, but Mama Du has long been assigned to draw up a gift list for visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.Stewards were also assigned to oversee the warehouses.Apart from these few people, Chu Lingyue really didn't know who else could help.

Chu Tengyun was also in a bit of a dilemma. He led troops to fight all year round, and he never asked about the affairs of the inner house.He wanted to transfer a few clerks from the barracks, but the clerks had official positions, so it was inappropriate to transfer them hastily.The second is that there are big men in the barracks, and there are mostly female relatives in the back house. If someone spreads it, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence.

"Okay, you two just watch me die from exhaustion!"

Shen Bixiang also lost her temper, and went to rest after getting rid of her employment.

"Auntie, come more capable ones. How about asking uncle to seal you a big red envelope when the Chinese New Year comes?" Chu Lingyue offered tea with a smile, "Lingyue also wants to help you, but what do I, an unmarried girl, know? It’s really powerless. If you see a girl in my house who can help, I’ll go back and pack it for you right now.”

"Yes, I have to tie a red rope around my head!" Chu Tengyun was also happy, and he peeled a sweet roasted sweet potato and sat down next to Shen Bixiang, eating it like a temptation.

When they were still in Eastern Xinjiang, they sometimes lacked food and clothing. The two of them were used to sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and a sweet potato was a snack.Chu Tengyun doesn't eat these things, but Shen Bixiang likes to eat them, and this gesture at the moment is clearly trying to annoy her.

Sure enough, Shen Bixiang reached out and snatched the sweet potato from Chu Tengyun's hand, unceremoniously broke it open and shared half of it with Chu Lingyue, "I know Ling Yue is filial, but I'm angry with your uncle, you said you're a marquis anyway, even I can’t find anyone who can help with the purchase, so it’s not ashamed to say it.”

Chu Tengyun also felt wronged, he had mentioned several people just now, and Shen Bixiang rejected them on the grounds that they were men, but they were not men, and Chu Tengyun didn't know any women, so how should he give advice.

"Auntie, you don't know your blessings. If uncle really knows that the woman is a good housekeeper, nothing will happen." Chu Lingyue covered her mouth and smiled, and Shen Bixiang blushed when she saw it.

That's right, the two have been married for several years, and they have had nothing to do. It was okay when they were in Dongjiang, Chu Tengyun said one thing.When they arrived in the capital, many people wanted Chu Tengyun to take a concubine openly and secretly, but Chu Tengyun couldn't explain it, so they often ran to her.Shen Bixiang wanted to say no, but couldn't bear the repeated visits from others.After a long time, I was also a little depressed.

Chu Tengyun seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly appeared when those people came to the door, and after a cold reprimand, he drove them out.

It didn't take long for Chu Tengyun's beloved wife to know how to take concubines. Many people made fun of Shen Bixiang, saying that she must have burned incense in her previous life to have such a good husband.

At this moment Chu Lingyue also made this joke, how could Shen Bixiang not hear it, gave her a half-truthful look and scolded: "What do you know, little girl, sweet potatoes can't stop your mouth!"
