Xilan muttered and complained, she was still a child, she was stimulated by Hongwen's casual mouth, and she was dissatisfied, so she walked to Aunt Shen's room in a hurry.

At this time, Aunt Shen was eating melons in the wife's house, and the unaware Mei Nu was sitting in front of the window, because his wife explained how to sew the hat and was sorting out the sewing box.

Hearing hurried footsteps, Mei Nu looked up and saw Xilan breaking in, and habitually got up to give up her seat.

Who knew that Xilan was crying and mourning, and she didn't sit down, but stood there and said angrily: "You quickly give me eight hundred and fifty taels of silver, don't delay, I won't be tired of my flesh and skin."

"What's wrong?" Mei Nu was completely confused, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Most of your hooves are crazy, and you don't care what kind of silver I want for no reason?" Why don't I redeem the silver, and your flesh will still suffer? I don't understand what country you're talking about. ”

Xilan raised her face, anxious, and shouted childishly: "What am I doing with you for silver?" Oops, I'm really crazy! It was my aunt who called me to ask for it, and she told me so, and I told you so, I know what she is going to do? If you don't believe it, ask for yourself. ”

If it was someone else like this, it would be okay, Mei Nu, who already had a knot in her heart, suddenly raised her willow eyebrows, and the fire came out. is so rude at a young age, and if you change to someone else, you will be angry, just because you are popular now.

Of course, Mei Nu had to pinch the handle to have a seizure, and said that since Hongwen called her, it wouldn't be without a reason, but who made you say it unclear?

Mei Nu, who boasted of standing upright, immediately sank her face and said coldly: "Are you joking with me, or are you serious?" Your master called you over, looking like he was joking with me, but you were very anxious, and I was confused. Good! You said that your aunt asked you to come to me, didn't she tell you that if my grandmother is not in the house, I can't call the shots? Even if grandma is in the house, she doesn't see the money and asks for money without taking a bill, so how can we pay the account? Isn't that a joke! You also said that you asked me to ask her to understand, could it be that I am your girl? At your disposal? I'm not going to go, but I'll have to ask for it yourself, and then I'll exchange the money." ”

After saying that, Mei Nu still sat down and fiddled with the needle and thread, and no longer paid attention to Xilan.

Xilan was robbed by her, and her face turned red, and she knew that she was at a loss. Although everyone is my aunt's personal maid, they are all different in terms of age and even status.

But Xilan has been flattered everywhere recently, and her temper is good, but she refuses to speak well, probably because the two sides have started to go wrong.

"If you don't give me money, what are you doing with me?" Xilan turned around and left immediately, and suddenly sneered: "Why bother to show me your face?" Okay, I can't afford to mess with you, I'll go back and ask now and come back if I understand, and see if you can send it then?"

Mei Nu was annoyed in her heart, and she also sneered: "The villain has a will!"

"You, let's see."

Xilan was so angry that she ran all the way back to Hongwen's house, and said Mei Nu's words in an accentuated tone.

The weather was hot, like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pot, Hongwen, who was already in a bad temper, was suddenly furious, and opened her mouth to scold: "Mei Nu, that little prostitute, even she looks down on me?" Thought that her grandmother had become a family member and her status had increased? I don't know what to do.

I want money, for my own use, do I have to report it to her carefully? It's such a big face, I'm going to ask her myself. ”

Xilan, who was still angry, said deliberately: "You better not go." Mei Nu's mouth has always been faster than a knife, we are girls and she counts a few words, it's nothing, if you go to be her, then you can't do it!"

Xilan was also confused, so she couldn't die to say this, and she forgot that Hongwen had a nickname called Knife Mouth.

Hongwen was full of anger by her words at Sang and scolding Huai, stood up viciously, stared at Xilan, and spat at her face, "Phew! Am I afraid of that little whore, you damned thing? A dog in this house went out and beat someone, and I didn't have any face, so I didn't want to go because of your nonsense. She's a big girl, but when my wife said this, I still have to ask. ”

At that moment, she was angry and drank Ling Xilan to follow, and the master and servant walked back quickly.

The slave in the house is waiting, and it is expected that Hongwen's temper will not be able to stand it, but how can she have some scruples when she becomes an aunt, right?

was guessing, seeing Hongwen walk in with a black face, no need to ask what Xilan said when she went back, Hongwen was here to be naughty. She sat still, eager to see how the other man would have a seizure.

Seeing that Mei Nu didn't even bother to stand up, Hongwen became angry, walked over and pointed at Mei Nu's face, and asked: "Let me ask you, you have been in the house for many years, don't you know the dignity of your master?" And I obviously told Xilan to get the silver, but you didn't send it to her, but you still had to run her, what is the reason? I want money, and I have business to do, so what qualifications do you have to ask questions? Could it be that I'll keep it for myself? Even if I keep it, what will I do to you? It's your turn to check me. ”

After saying it quickly, Hongwen sneered again: "Is it your wife who told you not to send it, or your grandmother who told you not to send it?" Oh, such a majestic slave sister, I simply returned to Mrs. Ming'er, and I will send you to be in charge. ”

The expressionless Mei Nu listened quietly, unmoved by Hongwen's sarcasm, slowly stood up, and sneered: "Yo! Auntie, dare to say this to me? I'm sorry, please ask your family Xilan to go, she didn't explain when she came, she opened her mouth and asked for silver, I know what kind of silver I want? Besides, the two grandmothers are not in the house, isn't it right to ask her to ask and come again? If she had spoken out and done business, I would have hurried to send the money over.

You ask her well, has there been an explanation? As for what my aunt said, it's even more nonsense, the silver is from the house, it's really like what my aunt said, do everyone's? In short, don't talk about these words back to the wife, even if you go back to the old lady, you won't be guilty of killing your head and filling the army. ”

After saying it in one breath without showing weakness, Mei Nu looked at Hongwen provocatively, and also learned to chuckle: "I never said that I wanted to be in charge, and I didn't go to the camp for this errand, it's just that my grandmother asked me to help keep counts and write accounts." We haven't gotten in the way of other people's eyes, we haven't swallowed other people's wages, and we haven't made small mistakes to find trouble, who will be jealous of me? As for the dignity of the master's subordinates, how can I not know that I have been a maid for so many years? Is it still an individual who does not know how to be inferior or inferior?

Oh, there must be a master, a subordinate, he! Now the master is also done by the subordinate, and the subordinate can also be the master, what is the rarity? Only the old lady was born to be the master! There is no need to be respected, no one dares to disrespect them, and the rest of the willow tables, willow stools, are generally high. ”

Mei Nu had already had the idea of being unconvinced, and she used these words to be sarcastic and thorny, all of which talked about Hongwen's sore spots.

Hongwen was so angry that her face turned blue, slapped the table hard, and shouted: "You stinky prostitute, how big is your identity?" How dare you bump into me? I will ask your master, who took your loins?"

When Mei Nu saw her turn her face, she also threw the sewing box to the ground, and said disdainfully: "Auntie, please clean your mouth, who do you say is a prostitute?" I didn't raise a man, and I didn't climb into my lord's bed, so I wasn't afraid of people's discussions. If I am a prostitute, some people are not necessarily not prostitutes, they are the same people, the same background, don't pretend to be the dignity of the master to intimidate me, this kind of side branch of the master, I can't see it in my eyes at all. ”

Although she fought back without giving an inch, the problem was that she was in a weak position in the end, not to mention that Hongwen was a favored concubine who was rightfully red, that is, a concubine and aunt who were not favored, no matter how reasonable the maid was, a face-to-face dispute would also belong to the following crimes.

Don't worry that it's fake, and at the same time, this is the first time that such a fierce quarrel has been, Mei Nu is in a mood, and she actually cried first, and after crying, she lost her mind, and her mouth was full of miscellaneous scolding.

And Hongwen naturally has the upper hand, and she is the master who often counts her down, and she has rich experience in quarrels, and when she was angry, she immediately jumped up in anger and was about to go over to beat Mei Nu.

Frightened, Xilan hurriedly hugged her waist, and Hongwen hit her when she returned her hand, scolding: "Dead girl, let go."

Xilan endured the pain, and for a while she lost her temper and did not let go of her death.

Seeing this, the crying slave went crazy, and rushed up and shouted regardless of it: "You fight, you fight!" Why do you call me a prostitute? Why?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to tear together, the maids and women who were alarmed hurriedly rushed in and crossed the middle of the two, pulling left and right to persuade, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

Soon Du Qianqian came with Aunt Shen, entered the house, and immediately drank the two of them who looked like fighting cocks.

"Well, you're going to rebel." Du Qianqian was very angry, "Why are you yelling, what is the reason?"

Mei Nu cried while telling the reason, and Hongwen also rushed to say it again.

Du Qianqian said angrily: "Xilan, you kneel down for me, you slut, how did you tease on both sides?" To be honest, if you dare to say half a word, you will be exposed first. ”

Frightened, Xilan hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "I really don't do the slave's business, and I didn't say any nonsense, but according to the truth, I blame my fast mouth."

Du Qianqian said angrily: "I don't ask you anything else, just ask your aunt and grandmother to tell you to say that?" Or is she making things happen?"

Xilan wiped her tears, the little girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and defended: "Mrs. clearly sees that these words seem to have a reason, and the person who came is not good, and the answer is also intentional." It seems that there are a lot of words between my aunt and my sister, and the slave family doesn't understand. Even if my wife beats me to death, I will explain it like this, who dares to chase the wind and catch the shadows and chew it. ”

Du Qianqian understands everything, it is still the little bit of the thing of the woman in the house, today one intends to find trouble, the other intends to refute, and the words are in a hurry, and they move their hands, so they ask: "Aunt and grandmother are inappropriate, and it is not appropriate for Mei Nu to reply to you, yes or no?"

"Both." Xilan nodded.

At that moment, Du Qianqian glanced at the others coldly, and then pointed at Xilan and said: "You slut, even if your aunt and grandmother are not in a good mood today, and ask you to go and get the silver, you are not allowed to say anything useful for anything, you should explain it to Mei Nu behind your back." It was the monthly subsidy in the summer of the house, and Mei Nu saw that it was a serious matter, so he would not refuse to pay it to you.

Even if you don't dare to disobey your aunt and grandmother, when Mei Nu asks you to ask and come again, and says that grandma is not in the house and cannot be the master, she is not wrong to do this, and she does not mean to embarrass you. You won't euphemistically explain that Mei Nu is not good at exchanging money without authorization, and when grandma comes back, she will send the silver immediately, so don't you say it on both sides? It's good for you, the words on both sides are word-for-word, although you don't add oil and vinegar, but you are also playing with right and wrong, and this matter is all because of you. ”

The others listened silently, it seemed to be in order, but in fact, everyone was not afraid, because Du Qianqian was kind by nature and never embarrassed the people below. If it weren't for the majesty of Mu Sheng and Mu Ang, the Jinling Mu Mansion would have been almost chaotic in terms of personnel.

Sure enough, Du Qianqian hit the nail on the head and said: "I should have punished you heavily, I don't think you are still young, and I haven't denied it, and today's fault is temporarily placed on you." If you dare to speak up next time, it is not light or serious, and you don't ask if you are good or bad, I will know it, and I will be convicted of two crimes and punished together. ”

"Yes." Xilan looked aggrieved, got up, and stood aside with a pout.

Hongwen saw that Mrs. blamed Xilan vigorously, feeling that everything was secretly about herself, and she didn't mention the fault of Mei Nu, she was very unconvinced, relying on herself to be her confidant, and said: "Mrs., don't wronged Xilan, I really told her to say so." I think it's all a family, are you afraid that anyone will lose the money? Then I will issue a bill for the payment, and it will not be too late to keep an account for her. I think I used to take care of all things for my wife, and I also did it first and then went back to my wife, if Mei Nu is a knower, I should come over with Xilan and ask for understanding, won't I sue her?"

Who knew that she scolded Xilan back, as the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner's face, even if I am not, I shouldn't use Xilan to attack me, right? Mei Nu is too disrespectful in her eyes, don't you know that I am appointed by my wife to help with family affairs? She looked down on me, and she looked down on my wife. ”

While speaking, Hongwen secretly observed her wife's face, and saw that her was frowning and pondering, so she continued: "I also know that I have always been straightforward and fast-talking, offending people everywhere, and being jealous of others. Alas! In fact, there is not much to do in the house, and it is enough to have a grandmother to manage it alone, and a slave to help her. Take advantage of the opportunity to tell my wife in person, I won't ask about the affairs of the house from now on. Why force yourself here, it's in the way of others! Today, people have a small seizure, but they are scolded, and they will have deep grievances in the future, and they may be calculated by others, which is difficult to say. ”

As she spoke, Hongwen turned around and pointed at Xilan, gritted her teeth and scolded: "It's all your nasty damn thing, and I'm being bullied by others." I asked you to ask for money, and you came here behind my back to waste what kind of pomp and circumstance as the deputy of the house? Naturally, people can't tolerate you. (To be continued......)
