After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber
Chapter 220 Xue Baochai
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression was already a little hard to describe.
"This...is really a young lady from the government?" She turned her head to confirm with Mother He.
Mother He sneered twice: "Madam, didn't you go to Beijing to preside over the wedding in person?"
That means, yes and no, don't you know best?
Mrs. Xiao sighed, and began to worry about her son's future: It seems that the mistress of the governing mansion really doesn't care about the upbringing of the concubine.Can such a daughter-in-law really help her in her official career?
Mrs. Xiao was skeptical at the top, but Dr. Tea downstairs heard that she was a grandma, how could she dare to neglect her?Hastily asked the shopkeeper to entertain in person.
"Grandma, can I take you upstairs to the private room?" The shopkeeper asked for instructions with a smile on his face, then turned around and scolded Dr. Cha, "You have no eyesight, why don't you take the good Mingqian?" Brew Longjing for Grandma!"
"Hey, okay, I'll go now, grandma, please wait a moment." Dr. Tea got the shopkeeper's right words, and hurriedly went to make tea.
The shopkeeper continued to smile apologetically at Mrs. Ma: "The young man is not sensible, so please don't be as knowledgeable as grandma. Come, grandma please go upstairs."
Perhaps the shopkeeper's flattery was in place, but Ma Shi still held his head up, nodded reservedly, said "yes", then supported the maid's hand, led by the shopkeeper, and slowly walked up to the second floor.
The shopkeeper is an old man of the Xiao family for many years, and he has a book in his heart.Although he was respectful to Mrs. Ma on the surface, he did not disclose the news that Mrs. Xiao was here. Instead, he directly led Mrs. Ma to the private room next to Mrs. Xiao.
These two private rooms are also connected by organs.Mrs. Xiao's room can clearly hear the movements of Mrs. Ma's room, but Mrs. Ma's room cannot see the slightest bit of Mrs. Xiao's room.
Mrs. Xiao nodded appreciatively, and gave a brief signal to Mama He, and Mama He stepped forward, closed the mechanism connected to the downstairs, and opened another mechanism hidden behind an ancient painting.
Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was sent up soon.Dr. Tea is an old craftman. This tea is top-notch in terms of color and aroma.
However, Mrs. Ma just glanced at it, and said lightly: "I don't like Longjing, go and change Biluochun."
Dr. Cha was startled, and subconsciously went to see the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper nodded slightly, and Dr. Tea was about to take away the tea and replace it with Biluochun.
However, it was his subconscious glance at the shopkeeper that offended Mrs. Ma all of a sudden.
With a sound of "snap!", a cup of scalding hot tea hit Dr. Tea's hand, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
"Ah!" Dr. Cha was caught off guard, exhaled in pain, raised his head in disbelief, and met Ma Shi's glaring eyebrows.
"Why, I can't handle you anymore?"
Dr. Cha quickly lowered his head and kept saying, "Damn the small ones, damn the small ones!"
The shopkeeper also helped to explain: "Grandma, calm down. He is just a fool and doesn't know the rules. Grandma doesn't care about villains, so don't be as knowledgeable as him. I will punish him later!"
Ma Shi looked at the shopkeeper with a half-smile: "You are not a good person either."
"Yes, yes, yes, the little one also apologized to grandma." The shopkeeper raised his arms and slapped himself twice, "Grandma, calm down, grandma calm down!"
In fact, he was very annoyed in his heart, and thought to himself: Just let the eldest lady see, how can such a domineering woman surpass Grandma De and take over the family business?
Grandma De is the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Xiao Er. She has studied with Mrs. Xiao for many years, so how could she not have many people under her command?
After Xiao Chengyun brought Mrs. Ma back, Mrs. Ma showed great ambitions, with the attitude that her husband is the eldest son of the eldest wife, and the family business of the Xiao family should be inherited by their husband and wife.
Don't say Mrs. Xiao is dissatisfied, Grandma De is even more dissatisfied.In addition to this dissatisfaction, she was still a little worried, because she was afraid that Mrs. Xiao would become soft-hearted and turn her head towards her son and daughter-in-law.
The shopkeepers under the Xiao family originally wanted to wait and see, but Mrs. Xiao's attitude was very firm, and they naturally knew who to follow.
And the shopkeeper of the teahouse, who had shown his love to Grandma De early on, was the one who least wanted the Xiao family's inheritance rights to change.
Originally, he was a small shopkeeper, even if he was worried, he couldn't do anything.
However, Ma Shi himself came to the door today, if he didn't take the opportunity to cheat her, how could he be worthy of himself?
He is so careful, if it is normal, it is impossible for Mrs. Xiao not to notice.But these days, Mrs. Xiao was really angry with her son and daughter-in-law, and she couldn't get angry when she saw Mrs. Ma today.
But Ma himself did it himself, so he didn't have the air of a grandma.No matter how much Mrs. Xiao doesn't like this daughter-in-law, she is also her son's wife.
Let me ask, which mother doesn't want her son to have a good wife?
But looking at Mrs. Ma's appearance, it is enough for her to be a troublemaker and not cause trouble for her son. How can she be expected to be a foreign teacher for his wife and assist his son's career?
Mrs. Ma still doesn't know that at this time, Mrs. Xiao not only won't let her take charge of the family business, she has even started to think about whether such a son and daughter-in-law are worth the Xiao family's investment.
At this moment, seeing the shopkeeper slapping his tongue, she was still full of flattery. She thought she had frightened the old man, so she asked the shopkeeper to show her the teahouse's account book.
Marsh thought well.Isn't her mother-in-law unwilling to hand over the family business to her?Then she will get it by herself.With her power in governing the government, as long as she first finds out the details of the Xiao family from bottom to top, who would dare to fight her?
After all, in her eyes, no matter how rich the Xiao family is, they are just merchants, not even imperial merchants.If the Government of the People's Republic of China wants to clean up the Xiao family, wouldn't it be easy for them to do so?
She wanted to see the account books, but the shopkeeper naturally refused.
Not to mention that he has taken refuge in Grandma De, if not, unless Mrs. Xiao speaks, how can anyone see this account book?
So, the shopkeeper pretended not to hear it, nodded and bowed and asked: "Grandma likes Biluochun, so I'll make it myself." After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Stop!" Mrs. Ma was angry, "You don't understand what I said? Go and get the account books for the past two months, and I'll have a look."
Mrs. Xiao, who was separated by a wall, frowned secretly, and looked down on this daughter-in-law even more.
The shopkeeper's Gu Youyou said that he was obviously trying to save face for Mrs. Ma, hoping that Mrs. Ma would understand his difficulties and accept him as soon as he was good.But this Mrs. Ma was relentless, totally ignorant of his kindness.
Could it be that the concubine daughters of the governing government were all abandoned and raised?
In fact, Mrs. Xiao really wronged Mrs. Uncle by thinking this way.
Although Mrs. Uncle is the same as all the main families, she doesn't want to see concubine daughters, but because her own concubine daughter married the king of Zhongning County, in order to avoid people suspecting the Ma family's family style and causing trouble to her daughter, she treats several Concubine, she was taught carefully.
However, since it is from a concubine, the cost in various aspects is naturally not as good as that from a concubine.
Moreover, in order to live a better life, it is normal for concubines to be cautious and courteous to their aunt, brother, and father.This Ma Shi is no exception.
Or maybe it was because she was very depressed in her natal family. Once she got married, her husband, because of her status as a lady in the government, would be tolerant and flattering to her, which made Ma Shi, who had low self-esteem and pride, suddenly inflate.
Once this person swells, he will easily forget his shape, which makes her feel that the entire Xiao family should support her.
However, after arriving at Xiao's house, she repeatedly hit a wall, why didn't this make her angry?
In addition, as a woman who grew up in the inner house, even if she went out to socialize, she was only among the four princes and eight princes. She didn't know the situation in the court at all, and naturally she didn't know the current situation of the four princes and eight princes.
In her heart, apart from the royal family and a few princes, they are already the first-class family in the capital.
Therefore, she had the illusion that the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away, would definitely be vulnerable if the government governing the country made a move.
No matter how dissatisfied the shopkeeper was, Mrs. Ma was the master after all, so he could only cry and said: "Grandma, don't embarrass the little one, no one can read this account book without Mrs. Madam speaking!"
"Oh, is that so?" Mrs. Ma sneered, "If the wife in the hall came to see it, would you say the same thing?"
"This... this..." The shopkeeper laughed dryly, "Grandma De is the one who spoke in person, so the younger ones naturally dare not stop her."
Mrs. Ma said with a sullen face: "After all, you just think that I am not as good as the lobby wife. You have to think clearly, I can't do anything to her, can't I not do anything to you?"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and then fell silent.
Mrs. Ma was still furious, but Mrs. Xiao couldn't help sighing, and said to Mother He: "Wang De expected me to be here, and he won't let Mrs. Ma mess around, just show me."
Mother He asked: "Does the wife want to go and have a look?"
"In the past." Mrs. Xiao said, "I can't let her be ashamed again."
When Mrs. Xiao led Mother He over, Mrs. Ma was ordering someone to slap her mouth.Suppressing her anger, she raised her voice and asked, "What are you doing? It's so lively."
The shopkeeper Wang De's eyes lit up, and he called out, "Ma'am!"
Ma Shi's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the maid beside him.The maid gave her a comforting look, and she calmed down, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the wife is here. My daughter-in-law pays her respects."
Mrs. Xiao supported Madam He's hand, and sat on the head without hesitation, without looking at Mrs. Ma, she just asked Wang De: "Wang De, tell me, what's going on?"
Mrs. Ma gave Wang De a hard look, meaning to tell him not to talk nonsense.
But Wang Deben wanted to take the opportunity to suppress her, how could he be threatened by her?
"This... grandma wants to look at the account books, but I really don't dare to make up my own mind, so I ask my wife to learn from her."
