If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter
Chapter 107 Calming Talisman
When Aunt Yu saw Madam Xiao's gloomy face, she was so scared that she immediately knelt down and whispered, "It's all my fault. I took the initiative to bring this thing back."
Before, she thought that the girl from the Qin family was a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat and was well-mannered.
She didn't expect that he was waiting for her here.
This kind of private transaction actually slipped through her hands!
Madam Xiao quickly leaned forward and supported Aunt Yu, "Get up. This matter is not your fault."
Nanny Yu's forehead was already covered with sweat. She hesitantly said, "Thank you, Madam."
Madam Xiao gently picked up the Buddhist beads in her hand and said slowly, "Cheng'er has outstanding looks, noble status, and a good personality. She only lived in the capital for a while a few years ago, and even now, there are still people in the capital asking if Cheng'er is married."
"Girls like this who come from humble backgrounds always think that the wealthy and powerful families have endless wealth and splendor, and they are obsessed with their dreams."
"In order to win the favor of a rich and noble man, there are many tricks and schemes, which are hard to guard against."
"Right now, the fifth son's wife has asked the virtuous concubine to look for a marriage partner for Cheng'er, and she will arrange one for him before the end of the year."
"After getting married, starting a family, and having a proper job, those thoughts of young Mu Ai gradually faded."
Nanny Yu replied with a stammering "yes".
Madam Xiao added, "Cheng'er is stubborn and insists on his own opinions. I'm afraid the more we try to stop him, the more he will care about that girl."
"Let him be for the next few days. As long as he doesn't cause any unresolved problems, just pretend you don't know. Since he wants to participate in the military examination, he should go to the capital next spring at the latest."
"That girl from the Qin family, open the door to do business, and go buy what the mansion needs. If that girl uses such tricks again, just tell me and I will deal with it."
Nanny Yu nodded in agreement repeatedly, but in her heart she secretly felt resentful towards Qin Shu for giving her the gold card.
After the master and servant finished talking, Nanny Yu saw Cui Yu standing outside the door waving at her, and hurried out, "What's the matter?"
Cui Yu held a sachet and asked, "Mammy, this is the sachet that was taken off the old lady's tent this morning. Normally, such sachets should be burned, but Xiang'er saw a talisman inside and came to ask if she wanted to keep it."
When Yu Mama saw the sachet, she knew it was the one Qin Shu had asked Xiao Cheng to bring back. She was immediately furious and said without thinking, "Burn it."
After saying that, he went back to his room.
What's the point of showing off a useless sachet?
Cui Yu then handed the sachet to the little girl next to her and instructed, "Since Aunt Yu has ordered it, then follow the rules."
The little girl took the sachet and carried it to the kitchen.
There was a large winnowing basket in the big kitchen, which was filled with sachets, scent bags, old handkerchiefs and other items that were replaced in the rooms of the masters and ladies of each courtyard.
Burning this stuff is a lucrative job.
The old woman in charge of this matter would pick and choose among the things to see if there were any leftover silver ingots, gold hairpins, etc.
There are also some exquisitely crafted sachets purchased from outside.
This kind of sachet can be sold for dozens of copper coins in the market.
Mrs. Chen picked and threw the sachets that needed to be burned into the stove.
When she saw the talisman, Mrs. Chen thought to herself: Since it is something used by the masters, the talisman inside can either ensure safety or calm the mind.
Moreover, the sachet containing the talisman is still 90% new, with exquisite workmanship, and the bats and birds on it are lifelike, which makes people happy just by looking at them.
Mrs. Chen simply put the sachet and the talisman into her arms.
It was the end of the Xu hour when I got off duty.
When Mrs. Chen returned home and just entered the house, her daughter-in-law Wang came in with hot water.
If she wanted to do things the way they were, Mrs. Chen would have to curse a few times to vent her anger.
But today, she felt unusually calm, and even said, "Put it there. You don't need to serve here. Go back and rest."
Wang looked at her mother-in-law with fear and trepidation, not knowing what trouble her mother-in-law was going to make next.
Instead of scolding her, he let her go back and rest. She hasn't been treated like this since she came in!
Could it be that she wants her husband to divorce her?
Wang's eyes were filled with tears. She knelt down in front of Mrs. Chen and begged, "Mother-in-law, I know I am wrong. Please don't let your husband divorce me."
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment.
Then she remembered the words she often said in the past, "Let my son divorce you." Mrs. Chen felt a little amused and bent down to help her daughter-in-law up and said, "You are tired of taking care of the child. The child is so young, how can you divorce him just like that? You just said it in anger."
She waved to her daughter-in-law, "Okay, I'm going to sleep too. I have to be on duty tomorrow. Go back."
Only then did Wang feel slightly relieved and walked out of the door, looking back every few steps.
She didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
Could it be that my mother-in-law has some serious illness?
Did you suddenly come to your senses?
After Wang returned to her room, she tossed and turned and could not sleep all night.
On the contrary, Mrs. Chen, who had been haunted by nightmares all day, slept well that night and didn't even have a dream.
The next day, I went on duty feeling energetic and refreshed.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I was immediately attracted by a group of old women.
"Did you hear that the old lady called the court doctor again last night?"
"Rong'en Hall has been in chaos for most of the night. Several masters, ladies, young masters and young ladies have not slept for most of the night. Many courtyards have not ordered breakfast today."
"But the nightmare has come back again?"
"cough!"
A heavy cough was heard from outside the kitchen door, and the old women who had gathered together immediately scattered like birds and beasts, pretending to be busy with their own things.
The second-class maid from the Sixth Madam's room came in, raised her chin high, and said in a domineering tone: "Is the bird's nest for the Sixth Madam ready?"
Ma Pozi quickly brought the packed food box over with both hands, and said with a flattering smile, "It's ready. I just packed the food box. It's a coincidence that you came."
As soon as the girl left, the old women gathered together again.
"Didn't you say you've been guarding for most of the night?"
"It is said that the Sixth Madam is pregnant, so she can go back and rest."
"Alas, I'm afraid there will be no peace in this mansion again."
"It's only been a few days since he got better? Could it be that the Bodhisattva only cares about the New Year?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You dare to exclude even the Bodhisattva!"
The old woman who had just spoken quickly clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, Bodhisattva, please don't blame me..."
In Rong'en Hall.
The young generation stayed up all night and recovered their energy and spirit by lying down for a while.
Nanny Yu is old, and after staying up all night last night, she felt weak and dizzy, and could neither wake up nor fall asleep.
As soon as I lay down on the small couch in the compartment, I heard the old lady in the inner room, who had finally fallen asleep after drinking the calming soup, start groaning again.
Nanny Yu hurriedly forced herself to walk in.
The old lady waved her hands in the air, then hit her body with her hands, shouting incoherently, "Ah, snakes, so many, hit, hit..."
Aunt Yu hurried forward, held the old lady's hand, and called softly, "Old lady? Old lady?"
Old Madam Xiao shuddered all over and slowly opened her muddy yellow eyes.
She handed her hand to Nanny Yu, sat up with difficulty, and felt around on the couch with her hand.
Nanny Yu asked, "What is the old lady looking for?"
Madam Xiao said as she felt around: "There are so many snakes hiding underneath, hurry up and look for them."
Nanny Yu quickly comforted her, "Madam, it was a dream, there was no snake."
"Nonsense! I clearly saw those snakes crawling under the bed! Look for them quickly and fumigate them with realgar."
When the master gives an order, the servant must do it.
Rong'en Hall was in chaos again.
In just three days, almost all the masters and servants in the Xiao Mansion had dark circles under their eyes.
Xiao Cheng sat in the main hall of Rong'en Hall, covered her mouth and yawned loudly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Wasn't it fine a few days ago? Is the talisman that Miss Qin gave me no longer effective?"
