Chapter 430 Xie Gong's birthday is destined to be a farce
In a blink of an eye, on the tenth day of October, it was the birthday of the Duke of Zhen.
Mrs Xie was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.
It was not until the beginning of Chen that everything was all right, so I took time to use a bowl of white fungus sweet soup and a few pieces of tea to slightly fill my stomach.
After rinsing her mouth, she listened to the maid's report, saying that Mrs. San had just rushed to the kitchen and took a cane to scold her. After careful questioning, Xie Fu knew that Mrs. San had disliked that the bird's nest porridge for today's breakfast was cooked into a salty taste and asked the maid to find a kitchen to replace it. Unexpectedly, the kitchen put all her mind on the birthday banquet today. For a moment, she sent the wrong breakfast. The bird's nest sweet porridge that Mrs. Third Lady used to eat was sent to the fourth room by mistake. Mrs. Fourth knew how busy she was today and didn't want to make trouble. She made do with it. Naturally, the kitchen could not be exchanged for Mrs. Third Mrs.
As a result, the maid in the third room, Qingyuan, was so powerful that she wanted to smash the kitchen. The steward, Mother Gong, did not allow her to mess around and ordered several daughters-in-law to restrain Qingyuan and drive her out of the kitchen.
The third lady was furious when she heard the words and went out in person. At present, she is making a lot of trouble.
Mrs Xie secretly complained. The third lady relied on being a respected elder and often put on her own airs to oppress people. However, at present, in the Duke's mansion, her mother-in-law passed away, and the second wife was also disappeared. The fourth wife could not be suppressed by the Nian family. Although Mrs. Xie was a patriarch, she was a junior. It was not good to disrespect the elder on the surface. If it was normal, she would punish the next person. It's also peaceful, but today there are many miscellaneous things, and the kitchen is particularly important. If you punish the stew, you are afraid that no one will make any mistakes, not to mention that the stewman Gong is not a servant and can't be punished at will.
Mrs Xie sighed and rushed to the kitchen in a hurry. Before she saw anyone, she heard the Third Madame roaring angrily: "I don't know whose power it is. A bitch dares to beat my maid. I don't see who dares to stop it today. It's not to expose your bitch's skin."
Mrs Xie's footsteps suffocated and frowned more tightly.
Mother Gong is a cronin of the late grandmother Liang. When the Liang family was in trouble, thanks to the assistance of the Gong family, she got a place to live in. Later, the Liang family inquired about Xie Jin to seal the Duke of Zhen and found her back. Because the two elders of the Gong family have passed away, Gong is young and widowed and lonely, the Liang family placed her in the Duke's mansion. Li has always been in charge of the daughter-in-law. Because of the importance of the Liang family, even the Duke of Zhen did not regard Gong as a servant, and the younger generation did not dare to slack off. Even if Liang died, Mrs. Xie took charge of Zhongfu, and still respected Gong as an elder and never dared to scold and neglect.
No matter how domineering the third lady is, she doesn't dare to point at Sang and scold Huai like this. Is this the intention to make trouble today?
He also heard from Mother Gong's defense: "The old lady forgives me. It's not the maidservant's intention. Because of today's affairs, I accidentally sent the wrong breakfast. The bird's nest stewed for a long time, and it was prepared the night before night. For a moment, there was really no way to prepare it for the old lady. The maidservant has explained it to Qingyuan, but she had to fool around. Today, it is the Duke of the country. On the birthday, the ingredients are all prepared for the birthday banquet. I dare not lose, so I have to stop Qingyuan and dare not beat them.
As soon as Qingyuan heard this, she raised her voice and contradicted: "Madam, it is clear that this woman turned right and wrong. First, she pointed to the maidservant's nose and scolded her. She also said that even if the bird's nest porridge was salted, it was not added*. Where did it die. The fourth lady was not picky, but some people didn't know the importance, and the maidservant couldn't get angry when she heard it. I just wanted to ask for an explanation, but I was beaten by this old pious woman.
Mother Gong also scolded angrily: "Qingyuan, how dare you make trouble? There are so many people present in the kitchen. Everyone witnessed that you are unreasonable, and even the Wen girl beside the prince's wife is also..." Without finishing her words, she was slapped on the face. Mother Gong was shocked and angry. She stared at her, but Seeing the third lady standing with her waist, she raised her eyebrows and bulging eyes, she scolded angrily, "Don't mention the maids around me, even if it's a cat or a dog, it's not your turn to scold me. What are you?" Several women behind him scolded sharply: "What are you doing? Why don't you drag her out? Thirty dozen boards fiercely and hand them over to people's teeth for sale."
Mama Gong entered Xie's house and had not suffered such humiliation. Although she did not dare to fight back, she covered her face and snorted coldly: "Mrs. Third Madam, I'm not your domestic slave. Let you shout and shout."
When the third lady saw that she dared to contradict her, she raised her hand and slapped her again, but this time she was firmly pinched by Mother Gong: "If it hadn't been for respecting the old lady, in order to pay for the care of the care of the Duke of the country, and the prince had retained her several times, I wouldn't have stayed in the house. I respect you as the master of the Duke of the country and the old lady's daughter-in-law, and I would have been a slave. She said that the old lady had figured it out that I didn't sell the deed to you.
"It's the opposite, you shameless and naughty slave!" The third lady screamed.
Seeing that Mrs. Xie was really speechless, she accelerated her pace. Unexpectedly, she hadn't said her words of comfort. Mrs. San opened her mouth and said an order: "Dalang's daughter-in-law came just right. You can't be afraid to hear this unruly slave's big words. If you don't kill her today, there will still be rules in the Zhenguo Mansion."
Mother Gong also blushed with grievance and knelt on her knees: "Madam, the old man is really unbearable to be humiliated. Although she has been taken care of by the Duke for many years before she has a place to settle down, she originally planned to serve you well, but it was also regarded as a fate with the old lady. Unexpectedly, it is unacceptable. The old man knows that she is humble and dares not ask his wife to be the master. Now I kowtowed to the prince's wife. Today is a good day for the prince. I dare not bother the prince of this matter. I also asked the prince's wife to tell me a shame on behalf of the old man another day.
Mama Gong was also over 50 years old. At this time, she burst into tears and choked her grievances, which made Mrs. Xie feel uncomfortable. She secretly complained that the third lady was unreasonable and quickly helped her up: "Mama, please get up quickly. Your parents have saved your grandmother. Before she died, she still told us to retire for you. It should have It's Mother's insistence that makes you work hard. Don't say such words anymore.
This is not only to comfort Gong, but also to remind Mrs. Gong that Mother Gong is not a servant and is kind to the old lady. Not to mention beating her, she should not even be scolded.
The third wife secretly sneered. In those years, her family funded the Chuzhou army to revolt. She made great contributions to Dalong's founding the country and was awarded the title. She was also the eldest daughter. The reason why she married the third uncle was that she wanted him to kiss the Qi family. Not long after entering the door, the Liang family came back. The Qi family was expelled and the husband was also reduced. As a concubine's son, she had to kowtow in front of the Liang family. Liang gave her a lot of hardships. She endured for many years and easily survived the death of the Liang family. As a result, for the sake of Xie Fei, her husband had to maintain harmony with several brothers, and she had to continue to endure.
At present, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion is just an empty shelf. If it hadn't been for the help of the New Year's family, how could the family still be rich and clothed? The third uncle finally made up his mind to fight for a battle. Does she still need to tolerate such a slave and maidservant?
Today, she was afraid that the third master's intention would not be firm, and in the end, she compromised and deliberately found this handle sent to her hand to make a scene first.
At present, he said heavily: "A shameless bitch, and he still has the face to be proud of kindness. No matter how much kindness you have been able to eat and drink for nothing over the years. Daughter-in-law, you have to understand that respect and low order is an iron law. Let's say that our Xie family has made great contributions to the founding of Dalong. Can we make contributions to the emperor or disrespect the emperor? Since this maidservant volunteered to be a slave, she should respect the Lord. How can she contradict the master's family?
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was even more depressed. She knew that today's things could not be done well. The third wife was deeply dissatisfied because of Xie Qi's affairs. She just took the opportunity to make trouble. Now she also cold-faced: "Third aunt, my grandmother left her last words on her death and told the son to respect Mother Gong and die for her. The son and concubine Dare not go against it. Mother Gong did not want to be honored and was willing to work hard. It was her integrity and more respected by the sons of the world. Mother Gong was not a slave of the government, but a parent-chief. In addition, today's matter was obviously provoked by Qingyuan from it. Mother Gong was a momentary negligence, and even the third aunt's breakfast was not good. She also asked the third aunt to look at the face of the prince and concubine. On, forgive."
She didn't wait for Mrs. San to speak at all. Mrs. Xie directly ordered: "Qingyuan is disrespectful to Mother Gong. She should have been severely punished. She also provoked trouble and violated the government rules. The crime is added to the first class. Today is the birthday of the Duke of the country. It is not beneficial to investigate. First, she will be detained in the firewood house and then be severely punished after today."
The third lady originally wanted to make trouble, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xie, who had always adhered to the rule of "rease affairs and peace", was so spicy this time. At this time, she was really angry and pointed to Mrs. Xie and said, "How dare you!"
"How dare I? As Xie's wife, I can't deal with a slave who made a mistake?" Mrs. Xie frowned and said, "Although I respect my third aunt as my elder, today is Weng's father's birthday. Weng's father should be the priority. Even if the third aunt wants to blame, I have to wait for the third aunt to learn a lesson."
I didn't pay attention to Mrs. San, and only comforted Gong: "Mama, today's affairs are all Qingyuan's fault. I will deal with them impartially and prevent Mama from suffering from suffering from such grievances in vain. I also ask Mama to look at Weng's father's birthday and take care of it first. Today's things are so cumbersome. Without Mama looking at the kitchen, I can't rest assured that I have to work on Mama. "
For the sake of Mrs. Xie's affairs, Mother Gong was very impressed. If she didn't care about Mrs. San, Mrs. Xie turned around again and saw Mrs. San's righteous and indignant appearance. She flattered her heart, and then ordered several three-room servants who followed each other: "This place is a lot of trouble-healing. Carefully, someone bumped into Mrs. Tai. Why don't you send the old lady back to her room? Today is a good day for the prince. If there is another disturbance, she will be punished!"
The usual pleasant housewife suddenly became powerful, and the servants were all in the same mind. Only then did they realize that although she was waiting in the third room, the deed of selling was held in Mrs. Xie's hand. She was determined to fight and sell, and the third lady could not keep it.
So the third lady, who was burned with anger for a moment, was fooled back to the room by half of the maidservants around her. It was not until she was held on the kang that she came to her senses. She shook her hand and slapped the two maids crookedly, and smashed them while scolding, making the room full of porcelain debris. Now Several daughters-in-law were shocked, but no one dared to persuade them. They answered their husbands to ask, and even the three masters heard the news.
I heard that Mrs. Xie was humiliated by Mrs. Xie in front of the servant woman. The old men in the room were dark, and several sons couldn't help shouting: "There is only an empty lord in the long room. I'm afraid that I can't even support slaves and maidservants just by relying on the imperial court. Over the years, Thanks to us, they have nothing to do with us as their ancestors. Why do they bully their mother for a servant?
"The old man has to be the master. Today, no matter what, he has to ask for an explanation. The eldest daughter-in-law does not respect the elder. Why should she be in charge of the middle-feeding? We should have been in charge of the internal affairs of the state. Today, in front of the old princess, we must let the prince express his attitude, or hand over the middle-rangement and then divorce the Ji family. The mourning star, let Yu Yu come forward to get back the official position for Qier, or split up and don't let these moths eat and drink for free. It's not such a cheap thing!" The third lady was so angry that she picked up a jade Ruyi and smashed it into two halves with a bang.
Xie Yu, the eldest son of the third room, also gritted his teeth: "It happened that today, my uncle and third uncle came to celebrate his birthday. I'm not afraid that we are weak. Humph, at present, the power of the Enyi Mansion, but even the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion dares not underestimate it!"
