Chapter 9
Seeing the two of them come in, Qin Tian hurriedly took two steps back, lowered his head and bowed his head and bowed to the two of them with a blessing.
Concubine Li and Zhuang Xinchuan walked through the crowd with their maids, daughters-in-law, and servants, and they didn't even glance at these servants out of the corner of their eyes. It wasn't until Yueniang came up to greet her that she looked straight at her and said with a smile, "Yueniang, is the eldest sister in the house?"
Yueniang first blessed Concubine Li, and then replied, "Back to the second concubine, the wife has just returned from the tea shop and is resting!"
Concubine Li glanced at the room and smiled: "Eldest sister is busy with other affairs, so I finally took a break. I shouldn't have disturbed her, but I happened to be in a hurry to see eldest sister, so I had to disturb eldest sister!"
After speaking, she gave Linger a wink to Linger who was beside her. Linger stepped forward and opened the curtain to report. When there was a response, Concubine Li took her son's hand and walked in.
And Yueniang didn't have time to stop all of this, she frowned, dared not speak, and hurriedly followed behind them.
Only when Qin Tian sees this can he realize Li Yiniang's status in the banker.
If you don't have any confidence, you wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
The eldest lady seems to be in power, but in fact life is not so easy, right?
Every year, the children are one year older. When she really handed over the head of the family, with the character of Concubine Li, how could there be room for the eldest wife and mother?
This may be the source of the conflict between the two women, and it can also be said to be the crisis of the banker.
If she was still in the laundry room, it would be none of her business to kill them, but now that she came to the eldest lady's yard, the fate of their servants was also linked to the eldest lady. When the wife falls, the people around the eldest wife will not have a good life.
It seems like a risk, but there is always an opportunity when it is in danger. You can't achieve your goal in the laundry room for a lifetime, but there is always a chance by your wife's side.
Just thinking about it, the old woman next to me said, "You will live in the yard in the future, but do you want to move the things from before?"
Qin Tian regained his senses and smiled at the old woman: "Thanks to my mother for reminding me, I'll go and move things here!"
After he finished speaking, he took some money out of the twenty money that his wife had just rewarded, and put it in his wife's hands, and said with a smile, "Mom, Qin Tian doesn't understand anything, and I will ask my mother to take care of her in the future!"
I saw this old woman in the house just now, and then Yueniang called this old woman again. It can be seen that this old woman still has some status in front of the eldest wife, so Qin Tian would take great care to win over her.
In fact, Qin Tian's old ladies don't look down on them, but Qin Tian's doing this is a kind of respect, plus she will have two dimples when she smiles, and her sweet appearance is very flattering, so Grandma is also very happy. Then he mentioned Qin Tian a few words, and told her the rank of the servants in the yard and their personalities. Who needs to be avoided and who needs to be coaxed will benefit Qin Tian a lot.
After saying this, Qin Tian resigned from his mother-in-law, went out of the yard, and went to the laundry room to get his things.
On the other side, after Concubine Li took her son Zhuang Xinchuan in, she saw the eldest wife sitting sideways on a chair by the window, holding an account book and a stack of account books in her hand.
Concubine Li's gaze shifted from the cold face of the eldest wife to the ledger, then turned around and patted Zhuang Xinchuan twice on the shoulder.
Zhuang Xinchuan got the hint and knelt down to the eldest wife with a plop.
The eldest lady turned her face, and firstly gave Yueniang a wink, Yueniang understood and went down with the maids in the room.
It wasn't until the servants went out that the eldest wife looked at Zhuang Xinchuan on the ground and said coldly, "Xinchuan, what are you doing, get up quickly." Although she said that, she didn't ask anyone to help.
Auntie Li watched from the side and raised her eyebrows.
On the ground, Zhuang Xinchuan lay there and didn't move. He lowered his head and said, "Auntie, my son knows it's wrong, and I ask Auntie to punish him."
The eldest lady lowered her head and looked at Zhuang Xinchuan's black long hair, and felt at a loss for a while.
Until a few years after the death of the master, he was a mother-in-law, and he was so affectionate that he was surrounded by her and brought her a lot of joy, but he didn't know when he started. call her aunty...
Being able to share weal and woe may not necessarily be able to share wealth and honor. They have been living together since a long time ago.
The old lady sighed in her heart.
Concubine Li took a step forward, first pretended to hit Zhuang Xinchuan behind the back, then pointed at him, raised her head and said to the eldest wife, "Eldest sister, just teach me a lesson, don't feel bad! Children are not sensible, and if they do something wrong, they will If you beat it, you must scold it, or you will not remember it in the future!"
Beaten and scolded, and the matter is over.
How can the eldest wife not understand her cleverness? It's just that this matter is no trivial matter, how can it be that a child is ignorant so simply exposed?
Although she knew some things, she had to admit that Shengshi would be handed over to Zhuang Xinchuan in the future. No matter how good her son was, he couldn't bear this burden!
But the more this is the case, the more strict it is to treat Zhuang Xinchuan, otherwise, it will ruin the master's life's small efforts, the Zhuang family's huge business, and how many people have he supported? If the banker falls, how many people will lose their way?
Therefore, this matter must not be handled carelessly, and he must be taught a profound lesson!
Thinking of this, the eldest wife ignored Li Yiniang, just looked at Zhuang Xinchuan on the ground, and said coldly, "You said you were wrong, but tell me what you are wrong?"
Zhuang Xinchuan lowered his head for a while without making a sound
The eldest lady sneered, "Just say what's on your mind!"
Zhuang Xinchuan raised his head and looked at the eldest wife, his face was full of dissatisfaction, he said: "The aunt asked me to speak my heart, so I will say it directly! Aunt, this kind of thing is not what our Zhuang family is doing, and the aunt goes out. Ask and inquire, which one doesn't play tricks on jin liang! Some tea merchants even lend to tea farmers in the form of pre-purchasing, and then charge heavy profits, I just deduct some jin liang, which is kind!"
As he spoke, he straightened his back, and his voice gradually became higher after speaking!
"Fuck you!" The eldest lady suddenly shouted angrily, and smashed the ledger in her hand at Zhuang Xinchuan's face, causing Zhuang Xinchuan to stop immediately, and Concubine Li took a step back in fright.
The eldest wife has come out and made public appearances for so many years, and the people she has come into contact with are three kinds of religions, nobles, gentlemen, and treacherous villains. What kind of people should she not deal with? What kind of person can she not cope with?
Even if she can say a few words, foul language is even more difficult for her. When weak, she is soft, when strong, she is hard.
Without any temper or patience, how could it be able to sustain Shengshi Tea for so many years?
