??Chapter 363 Questioning
?? Not long after, Yuqing came in to report that Mrs. Xiao had brought Mrs. Hong here. When Xie Zhiwei heard about it, she sneered and said, "Please come in, I want to listen. What does she want to say?"
??After meeting each other, Xie Zhiwei asked Mrs. Xiao to sit on the kang, and Mrs. Hong knelt down with a puff, "Miss, you have been wronged!"
??Xie Zhiwei looked at Xiao Shi, and said with a smile, "This is Second Aunt's companion room, right? What's wrong with you, why don't you tell Second Aunt, come to me?"
When Xiao saw that Xie Zhiwei was not polite, she couldn't help but change her face, "Since the eldest girl remembers that Mrs. Hong is my companion, she also remembers that the old man said a long time ago that this gift is in the hands of you and your mother." Although Mrs. Hong is my companion, she used to be in charge of the charcoal fire at home, but today it's just for the charcoal fire, and the eldest girl is just doing her job. If she doesn't come to you and tell me, what's the use of telling me?"
?? "That's how it is!" Xie Zhiwei didn't take Xiao's dissatisfaction seriously. She turned the teacup in her hand and said casually, "Then tell me, where is the grievance?"
Mrs. Hong bent slightly beside her, her mouth was tight, "Miss, you are young and inexperienced, and you don't know that housework is far from simple. As for the charcoal in this house, the best silver frost charcoal It is only available in a few of the master's houses, and there is a fixed number every year. The medium red charcoal is only used in the aunt's house, and there is also a fixed number. The charcoal fire is purchased every year when autumn comes, and it will be used throughout the winter. , In spring, who will use charcoal?"
"I understand what you mean. Every year when the first lunar month comes out, we don't use much charcoal, but let me ask you, since this year's winter solstice, I will not be at home. Where did the charcoal in my report go? I don't believe it either. Every year, I just buy with that point, and I don’t get half a cent more. You don’t need to say it to me for your thoughtfulness. I still say that if you can’t handle the errands, you can change the position. There is always someone in the family. Good job. If you don't agree, go to the family rules hall and ask, I think Second Aunt should understand things you don't understand!"
??Xiao's face was flushed, "Miss, you are looking at Mrs. Hong as my person, and the job of buying ice charcoal is a fat job, so you just use this reason to change her?"
Xie Zhiwei was suddenly very surprised. She squinted at Xiao Shi, and sneered, "Second Aunt, how much has the old lady given you for the proceeds from my mother's dowry over the years? Do you have any points? It depends on Second Uncle and For the sake of my younger brothers and sisters, I didn't care about it, did Second Aunt not think about it?"
Xiao Shi stood up abruptly, "Miss, what are you talking about? Even if the old lady subsidizes me, I took it from the old lady, so how much can I subsidize? Besides, you forced me that time The old lady gave you your mother's dowry, and the old lady gave you more than 60,000 taels of silver, and I gave you that silver. Even if I owe you, how much can I owe you?"
Xie Zhiwei could still find out how much money the old lady took and how much money Xiao subsidized. Seeing Xiao's nonsense, Xie Zhiwei gave her a sideways look, "Second Aunt, if that's the case, let's settle the score. The old lady is still alive, although she is blind, but her heart should not be blind, do you want us to ask?"
Xiao took a breath, she thought how the old lady got to where she is today, and it had something to do with the harmless little girl in front of her, "Miss, you are not young anymore, you are here soon It's too old to talk about marriage, a girl's family, reputation is especially important. This time, Second Aunt doesn't bother with you anymore. "
Mrs. Xiao led Mrs. Hong away disheartened. After Qiu Nanny sent her out, Zi Mo came in and said to Xie Zhiwei in a low voice, "Girl, when the second wife came, Tang Nanny also came. She didn't come in. Pulled Xuantao outside and asked a lot of questions."
"What did you say?" Xie Zhiwei was not very happy. She thought that after knocking on the mountain of the old lady, she would be able to shock the tiger of the Xiao family. Unexpectedly, this person is so stupid that he has no intention of restraining himself. What do you want to do?
"Ask how many people are there in Xuantao's family, where are her parents on errands, and whether the family has engaged her." Zi Mo said a little angrily, "Girl, what do you think is going on with Madam Tang? ? How can anyone ask someone like that?"
?? "Why would she ask that?"
Bai Ling heard it from the side, and pursed her mouth, "Sister Zimo is making a fuss. The servant girl was wandering in the garden the day before yesterday, and she also met the second wife's housewife, so she asked the servant girl and asked about the girl's yard on New Year's Eve. How much silver was divided among the people, and how much silver was divided, and the servant girl said that the servant girl gave twenty taels to each other, so she hurriedly asked the servant girl, is there any engagement?"
"Heh, are you all looking at the maids in my room?" Xie Zhiwei laughed, and asked Zi Mo, "Nurse Tang has a son, and I heard that his errands are pretty good, but in the future, all of you will follow me Let's go, go tell Xuantao, even if you betroth someone, a servant will still get Tang Nanny's son? Where can't you find a good one."
As soon as Xie Zhiwei finished speaking, Xuantao raised the curtain and came in, and spat at Zimo, "As long as you talk fast, she is just asking for nothing, and I will still be tempted? Where will the girl go in the future, the slave will follow Where, even if the girl drives out the servants, the servants will not leave."
Xie Zhi smiled and looked at Xuantao again, "You work in front of me every day, so please be careful, Zimo knows how to find a good husband for you, so you just stick to it If you don't pay attention to it, is it possible that you really want to follow me and grow old?"
In a word, all the girls in the room laughed, and Xuantao threw herself at Zimo with a groan, "Well, you little hoof, I'll tell you where the bag of things came from that day, and it's shoes and socks. It's the skirt again, you still lied to me that it was brought by Nanny Bao, I still believe it, dare you hide it from me so tightly, you still haven't explained it, who is it?"
??Originally, it was the old lady of the Zhao family who asked someone to bring it in and give it to Zimo. Now that Zimo was told by Xuantao, she blushed with shame, stomped her feet and went out.
??Bai Ling's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "It's useless for me to inquire about the news outside all day, so it's a dark under the lamp!"
??She came over hurriedly and took Xie Zhiwei's hands, "Girl, tell this servant, who is it?"
??The girls in the room were all guessing who it was, some said this, some said that, but no one was right.
??Xie Zhiwei held the teacup but smiled and said nothing, glanced at Xie Mingxi from time to time, saw that he was holding a copy of "Shan Hai Jing" reading with relish, and didn't pay attention to the noise in the room at all, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
As soon as Du Yuan came in, he saw that the room was very noisy, after listening for a while, he heard something interesting, and said, "You are talking about Sister Zimo, I know, it is Zhao Er, the manager next to the girl! "
