Chapter 53

After waiting for Lu and others to go far away, someone knelt on the ground with a plop after hearing the rockery. She covered her face tightly, but tears still seeped through her fingers.

For a long time, she slowly took down her hand, took out her handkerchief, dried the tears, and sorted out her dress, then walked slowly towards her courtyard.

But the back, but with a bit of perseverance and determination.

After the people in the mansion left, the courtyard was silent. Qiao took the tea from Xie rucao and asked in a low voice, "what happened yesterday? You can always tell me?" Today's thing, really called Qiao moved a, she did not expect that this legitimate daughter should be so protect themselves.

Smell speech, Xie Ru Zhuo tiny smile, way, "originally want to tell mother of, just just a moment ago numerous mouth miscellaneous of, can't say." She told the story of yesterday again and said, "if it wasn't for the urgent summoning of your concubine, I would have been entrusted by my mother at that time."

After listening to her story, Qiao's back was already wet. For a while, he grasped Xie ruzhuo's hand tightly and solemnly said, "it's your destiny that yesterday's event can escape, but you should remember that it's up to the end, and you should completely forget it! I'm not allowed to think about it any more, and I'm not allowed to look into yesterday's women. Do you understand? "

She only thinks that Dongmei is angry with Xie ruzhuo, but she doesn't think that Dongmei has such a vicious idea. And this winter plum is obviously for Xie ruzhuo!

No matter who is behind the instigator, can know such secret, and can control palace people, certainly not low status. Although the Xie family is powerful, they may not be able to keep a daughter under the oppression of the royal family.

Seeing that Qiao was so nervous, Xie rucao only gave a faint smile and took Qiao's hand in a soothing way. He said, "mother, don't worry, I'm old. I'm not a reckless man. This is the end of it. But I still have the power to deal with my subordinates! "

Qiao thought carefully for a while and said, "yes, although we can't continue to investigate yesterday's events, I must give you justice for today's events."

Then she looked cold again and said, "if this Li Ding can get your personal belongings, it must have something to do with the people in your yard. Dongmei is just a third class servant girl. She can't get into your yard. It's time to clean your yard. How about we... "

Xie ruzhuo thought of this layer early. He just laughed and listened to Qiao's arrangement carefully.

After half a day's discussion, it was already noon. Xie ruchuo accompanied Qiao to have lunch again, and then sent her back to the yard.

But don't want to, just go to the door, see Bizhi a face of anger came over, see two people, Bizhi please ANN, and want to talk and stop.

Qiao Shi sees Bi Zhi's direction is small storehouse, then knows it must be for housework, she also does not hide Xie ruzhuo, only way, "come in and say." Said, took Xie ruzhuo to enter the room together.

Seeing her attitude, Bizhi was surprised at first, and then said, "Madam Hui, you took your maidservant to check the accounts in the morning. The maidservant has checked them one by one. It seems that there is no problem, but look at this." Say, Bi Zhi takes out a list from sleeve, see above one by one is listed buy list.

Qiao Shi took to see a few eyes, then handed to Xie Ru Zhuo, way, "Zhuo son, you see what problem."

Xie ruchuo took it and looked at it carefully for a while. He saw that the prices of vegetables, meat and silk were written on it. After she married Xiao Junhan in her previous life, she had been in charge of the family for a period of time, and then she found out the problem.

"Mother, the price of this brocade is thirty-one, isn't it too high?" You know, even my father's official position, he only has a salary of less than 100 Liang per month. The price of a piece of brocade is really a bit off the mark.

Xie rucao finished, and pointed to several other shopping things, one by one, "there are these kinds, the price is a little wrong, I'm afraid it's weird."

Smell speech, Qiao Shi satisfaction of nod, way, "you pour is a clever." All of what Xie rucao said just now is the source of corruption of the people who buy things in the government.

With that, Qiao asked Bizhi, "did you ever find out who was greedy?"

Bi Zhi shook his head in embarrassment and said, "those mammies who are in charge of purchasing are very crafty. The maid asked for a long time, but there was no clue. "

After listening to Bizhi's words, Xie rucao suddenly remembers something.

In a previous life, because of the serious money deficit at home, the old lady went out to make a thorough investigation herself. It doesn't matter. It's found on the head of Qiao's confidant, Mammy Wang. The old man was greedy for several thousand taels of silver because he was in the doctor's room! When the old lady knew this, she was so angry that she not only let mammy down, but also seized the power of Qiao's family.

At that time, Xie ruzhuo was only interested in watching the fun. At that time, because of this, he gloated for a long time.

Now when Bizhi said something about corruption, Xie rucao immediately thought of mother Wang. She thought for a while and then said, "mother, I have an idea here."

Joe accidentally looked at her and said, "tell me about it."

"Since they're passing the buck to each other, let's choose one to be in charge. After all, a few people work together to swallow a share of money, but no one alone, OK? Let them fight in the nest first. When the time is up, let's catch turtles in a jar again! "

Xie Ru Zhuo said, Qiao Shi then understood, her eyes a bright, smile way, "you this ghost wench, idea pour is many." With that, she looked at Bizhi with a smile and said, "do you hear what miss four said? Go and do it soon!"

Bizhi happily answered and went out in a hurry.

Xie ruchuo accompanied Qiao for a while. Seeing that she was tired, she got up and left.

The news that the eldest lady wants to choose a principal mammy soon spread like wildfire. Because the supervisor this time is mammy Wang, the right-hand assistant of the eldest lady, those mammies who are moved by the news all move their minds.

Finally, on the recommendation of Bizhi and mammy Wang, Qiao decided three candidates. Mammy Zhang, Mammy Liu and mammy Zhao were all among Qiao's candidates. But Joe was worried about which one to choose.

Another afternoon, as soon as mother Wang was about to go to bed, she was summoned by her mother. She quickly got up to tidy up and went to Joe's room.

"Ma'am, are you looking for me?"

Seeing that mammy Wang was coming, Qiao nodded and said, "Mammy, you are coming. Please sit down." Qiao's one side gives a seat with a kind face, one side is facing green branch way, "still Leng do what, quickly go to make tea for mammy!"

Bi Zhi answered, poured a cup of tea and handed it to mammy Wang. She was so happy that she repeatedly said, "thank you, Bi Zhi girl. I can't help it, madam. You really appreciate me!"

Joe waved his hand and said with a smile, "she's a little girl. She should be. Mammy, when I call you here today, I actually have a candidate in my heart. I want to discuss an idea with you. "

Smelling speech, Mammy Wang immediately brightened her eyes and said, "which one do you like, madam?"

"Well, Mammy Zhang, who is in charge of the back kitchen shopping, I think she is safe on weekdays and recommended by you. What do you think of her?" Joe thought for a while, then asked.

As soon as she heard about mother Zhang, mother Wang immediately felt a little happy. You know, mother Zhang had a good relationship with her, and she always gave her things. Now if you choose her, you will have a lot of money to gain!

But she couldn't say it herself. Mammy Wang looked at Bizhi and said, "didn't miss Bizhi recommend one too? I think that's good."

After hearing this, Qiao immediately waved his hand with a smile and said, "she's just joining in the fun. That mammy Liu's work is not proper. She's not as steady as mammy Zhang."

Qiao's words were like a reassuring pill, which made mammy Wang feel at ease. She said with a smile, "yes, madam, you have a brilliant eye."

Smell speech, Qiao Shi sneers a way, "you are used to coax me, Mammy, busy these two days, then announce the person that chooses.". I'm a little tired. Go ahead

Mammy Wang went out of the door, looked back at the closed door, and immediately raised a greedy smile. Now she has the approval of the eldest lady. If she doesn't make a stroke, how can she be worthy of her mother Wang's hand of turning stone into gold!

After spending a whole afternoon in mother Zhang's room, mother Wang came out of her room. And on her hand, already had a heavy purse. She proudly packed the lotus and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

But don't want to, haven't walked into the kitchen, then saw a wench in a hurry to run over, panting thick air way, "Mammy, you quickly go to have a look, Jiangzhu and Qingtao elder sister quarrel!"

Mammy Wang was stunned. She turned pale and said, "I'll go and have a look!" Qingtao is her niece. She has no daughter, so she is very devoted to the woman of her brother's family. She has always been used to it. Later, Qingtao was driven to work as a worker by Xie rucao. She used her right to transfer Qingtao to the kitchen. No one dared to be angry with her.

As soon as the maid said that someone dared to quarrel with Qingtao, she was furious.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she heard the noise inside. Mammy Wang calmly walked in and said, "what's the matter? What's the noise?"

As soon as she saw mammy Wang, Qingtao immediately took back her claws and fangs and said, "aunt, you see, the bird's nest that I worked so hard for my eldest lady has been broken by Jiangzhu!"

There was a small broken stove on the ground. The bird's nest was still steaming. It was obviously broken soon.

When Jiang Zhu heard the words, he immediately said, "you really can confuse black and white. It's clear that you put the stove on the table by yourself. If other people don't touch it, it will fall down sooner or later! Unfortunately for me, it fell when I passed by. I don't think you scared me, but you still dare to accuse me of breaking it? "

"Oh, there are so many people here. How dare you say that?" Qingtaozui, who is used to provoking, said in a sharp voice, "I don't believe you. Ask the people in the kitchen, who don't know you broke it? Hum, I won't care with you for robbing my big servant girl. That's my heart. But you can't be a servant girl, just think you are the master! Can you touch the bird's nest of the eldest lady? Now it's broken. Who will take the responsibility? "

"You're bloody!" Jiang Zhu was a steady man in ordinary days, and he was not very likely to quarrel with others. He was so angry that he blushed and said, "I don't want to tell you so much. I have to wait on the young lady!"

With that, Jiang Zhu wanted to go, but she didn't want to. She was stopped by mammy Wang and said, "do you want to go? Clean up this place first

Jiang Zhu is a Leng, see mammy Wang's chubby body block the way, immediately annoyed, angry way, "this kitchen has a special cleaning maid, why should I do it?"

"Because this is my jurisdiction, I said that whoever comes will come!" Seeing the old story of Qingtao coming up again, Mammy Wang realized that Jiangzhu was the one who had robbed her niece's position as a big servant girl. Now she made up her mind to embarrass her.

Jiang Zhu didn't want to talk to her. She turned around and wanted to take the broom, but she was snatched by mammy Wang and said, "who allows you to use the broom?"
