Chapter 433 2 Mother-in-law fights
On the sixth day of March, everything goes well.
Early in the morning, Shen Rong changed into the new spring clothes she had made in February.
The old lady asked a famous embroidery workshop in Beijing to make this spring dress for Shen Rong. Two sets were made in total.
One set is an apricot yellow round-necked double-breasted jacket with a moon-white Hangzhou silk Yuehua skirt.
The other set is a ivory-white gauze half-sleeve with a twelve-panel silk-thread Xiang skirt and a duck-egg-green lotus-patterned shawl.
Shen Rong wore the second set.
She stood in front of the mirror, her waist slender and graceful, like a young girl in her twenties. You couldn't tell at all that she was a woman who had given birth to a child.
Shen Rong asked Chun Xing to find the pearl headdress that the old lady gave her when she first entered the mansion. Shen Rong picked out a pearl hairpin, but felt it was still too plain, so she picked out a pearl hairpin and inserted it into her bun.
Chun Xing stood behind Shen Rong and looked at her in the mirror, praising her: "Young Madam is so beautiful! This pearl hairpin really suits you!"
Shen Rong blushed slightly at Chun Xing's compliment. "You're the only one who talks too much!"
"I am not wrong!" Chun Xing straightened the shawl on Shen Rong's body and looked at Shen Rong's face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
If Shen Rong couldn't tell that the maid was in trouble, then she would have grown a pair of eyes in vain. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Chun Xing's face, and she fell to her knees with a plop.
Shen Rong was startled, thinking that Chun Xing had done something wrong, and her heart sank.
"Madam, I..." Chun Xing hesitated for a moment, then she mustered up her courage when she thought of how Madam had saved Chun Wang's family without a word.
"I know you are planning to buy someone, so I want to ask for mercy from the master. Please allow my parents to work in the mansion."
Chun Xing knelt on the ground, looking at Shen Rong expectantly.
These days, Chun Xing found that the mansion was getting better and better.
Moreover, the mansion was renovating the house for farming, and the young mistress asked her how much increase in monthly salary would be appropriate in February.
Life was getting better and better. After Chun Xing went back and told her family about what was happening in the mansion, when her family heard that the mansion was still short of staff, they thought about going in to work there.
Shen Rong frowned. She didn't understand. After finally getting her freedom, why would she want to become a servant again?
But think about it again, if the life of good citizens was easy, who would be willing to sell themselves and become a slave?
In the end, Shen Rong didn't ask anything, she just said:
"Get up, and ask your family to come and see me tomorrow."
Then she suddenly remembered that the other two maids in the yard were also born in the family. She paused and said, "Go out and ask Juxiang and Qiuxia later."
It stands to reason that no matter which family it is, a servant's child will not be easily released.
However, the old lady was really not good at managing the house, life in the mansion was getting more and more difficult, and there were few masters, so she released a few servants who were willing to leave the house.
To Shen Rong, it made no difference whether the servant was a born-in-law or a servant bought from outside.
However, I still need to mention this to the old lady later.
Seeing Shen Rong agreed, Chun Xing smiled and said, "I'll go right away!"
Chun Xing had just gotten up and was about to go out when there was a sudden noise outside.
At this time, the brother and sister jumped in from outside like monkeys and shouted:
"Mom! Fight! Those two mothers-in-law are fighting!"
Shen Rong looked at Chun Xing.
Chun Xing received Shen Rong's signal, nodded and left the house.
Shen Rong bent down and wiped the sweat off the two children's heads. "Where have you been so early in the morning? You are sweating all over."
Ever since Changsheng started practicing martial arts, his son Pingping has followed him there early in the morning every day. Sometimes, Anan would also go along just to join in the fun.
Shen Rong touched the clothes on Ping Ping's back and said in a loud voice, "Juxiang."
As soon as Shen Rong finished speaking, Juxiang walked into the main room with a basin of warm water. "I saw that the young master's clothes were soaked with sweat, so I went to the small kitchen to get some water. The young mistress is still making a fuss outside, so go and take a look!"
Shen Rong was more satisfied when she saw how attentive Juxiang was. "Okay, remember to change their inner clothes."
"This slave has taken note of it."
As soon as Shen Rong walked out of the hospital gate, she saw Chun Xing running towards Guiyuan.
Not far away, through the colorful fruit trees, Shen Rong could hear the quarrel ahead.
"What's going on?" Shen Rong saw Chun Xing and hurriedly walked forward to ask.
Chun Xing panted heavily, "Two maids started arguing over sweeping and cleaning, and then they got angry and had a fight. When I went there, the two maids had been pulled apart by the housekeeper. Now, they are complaining to the housekeeper! Madam, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Shen Rong nodded. "Let's go over and take a look. Can you tell me what they were arguing about?"
Chun Xing hurriedly told Shen Rong what she had found out.
It turned out that after the mansion was renovated, although all the open space in the mansion was paved with soil for growing fruits and vegetables, many roads were also built between the courtyards.
Those roads were paved with blue bricks and had to be swept every day. After Shen Rong took over the housekeeper's duties, she arranged for two maids to sweep the roads in the mansion.
The two old women worked diligently at first, but later, Old Woman Zhang discovered that although there were many courtyards and roads in the west, no one lived there, and no one would notice even if the road surface was cleaned every few days, so she began to be lazy.
So, under the pretext of finishing work early and resting early, she discussed with Wang Po and decided that each of them would be responsible for half of the roads in the mansion, and she chose the courtyards of the former West Mansion, which are now the West Cross Courtyard.
Mrs. Wang didn't know Mrs. Zhang's little thoughts at first. When she saw that Mrs. Zhang chose the west wing of the courtyard, she thought that Mrs. Zhang was really righteous and gave her the place that was difficult to clean.
Mrs. Wang was an honest person. Afterwards, she felt that the other party had been wronged, so she gave Mrs. Zhang a purse as a gift.
But what Mrs. Zhang did was discovered by Mrs. Wang within a few days.
Mrs. Wang thought that the road over there was winding, so after finishing her own work, she wanted to go and help. However, she didn't expect that when she entered the west wing, Mrs. Zhang was hiding in the house and sleeping!
Looking at the roads again, they were covered with dead leaves, and it was obvious that they had not been swept for a long time.
Originally, the two of them were responsible for their own areas, and whether Mrs. Zhang swept the area or not had nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.
But Mrs. Wang thought that she was working so hard sweeping the floor every day, while this man was slacking off every day, so she wanted to switch with Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was afraid that Mrs. Wang would report her to the housekeeper, so she had to change reluctantly.
But she was still unwilling to give in.
The next morning, she was working reluctantly in the East Courtyard and happened to be met by the housekeeper.
Seeing that she was not serious about her job, the housekeeper scolded Mrs. Zhang.
The old woman Zhang rolled her eyes, slapped her thigh and howled, "Housekeeper Gong, I am an old woman, sweeping such a large area, and my waist and legs are so tired. Unlike some people, they are very cunning and have snatched the west wing. They hide in the deserted west wing and sleep every day. Poor old woman, my life is miserable!"
When the butler heard this, he had nothing to understand.
He did not disturb others and quietly entered the west wing.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the yard was indeed covered with dead leaves, and the old woman who used to sweep the yard had disappeared.
After finishing a busy day, the housekeeper gathered the servants in the mansion in the evening and fined Wang Po fifty cents in public, hoping that the servants would learn from it.
Mrs. Wang felt guilty. Even though she had only been lazy for one day, she had to accept it. She thought she was just unlucky.
Unexpectedly, when she returned to the servants' room, she heard another maid telling other maids that she saw Wang Po complaining to the housekeeper in the morning.
Mrs. Wang stood outside the door, trembling with anger.
He immediately wanted to settle the score with Mrs. Zhang.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would come home today.
Mrs. Wang held her breath all night, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. As soon as the sun rose and it was time to start working, she immediately confronted Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang naturally refused to admit it.
Mrs. Wang wouldn't listen to her. Even though she was lazy for a day, she was still blamed by Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang asked Mrs. Zhang to give her fifty cents.
Mrs. Zhang refused to admit that she had not cleaned the house.
Can this be tolerated?
In the end, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but take action.
The two of them fought fiercely.
Pulling hair, scratching face, slapping, cursing the other person's ancestors...
The two women fought fiercely, and they were no different from the other women in the village.
When Shen Rong and Chun Xing arrived, the two old women were holding the housekeeper and complaining that the workload was too heavy, and asking the housekeeper to judge.
The butler's head is bigger than two.
"The young madam is here!" Someone saw Shen Rong and shouted.
When everyone heard the shout, they turned around and bowed to Shen Rong.
"Uncle Shan," Shen Rong half-bowed to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper turned aside and said with a wry smile: "Young Madam, this is a matter of the inner courtyard. Look at this..."
Yesterday, he thought that Shen Rong had just taken over as the housekeeper and the matter was not a big deal, so he took action to deal with it himself. However, he did not expect that there would be a fight again early this morning.
Just now when he saw Chun Xing coming to inquire about the news, he knew that the young lady was going to take care of this matter.
The servants in the mansion are all old people who have followed the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for most of their lives. During these years of following the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, they have suffered a lot of contempt and ridicule from outside. If they are punished blindly, it will only make people feel disheartened.
Within a few breaths, Shen Rong thought of a way to deal with the matter.
"Don't worry, Uncle Shan. I'll take care of this matter. If you have something else to do, just go ahead and do it."
After hearing this, the butler felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly bowed and fled from the backyard with a few servants.
Shen Rong asked Chun Xing to help Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the ground, up.
"Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, do you two realize that you are wrong?" Shen Rong looked at them coldly.
The two old women had never seen the always good-tempered young mistress suddenly look so cold, and they felt a little uneasy.
Shen Rong looked at the expressions on their faces, glanced at the other maids, and said, "You are all the elderly in the mansion. The old lady is kind-hearted and has always been thinking about you. The old lady often told me that the elderly in the mansion have been treated badly over the years, and she will definitely provide for you in the future.
However, I believe everyone knows the situation in the mansion. Please don't let the old lady down."
As soon as Shen Rong said this, the expressions on the faces of the maids around her were moved as they looked at Shen Rong. A trace of shame also flashed across the faces of the two maids, Zhang and Wang.
