Chapter 193: Heavy Profits
Jiang Yishi told the stewards to stand down, and Sister Wu whispered about Meng Yue and Meng Hua’s argument.
Meng Hua scolded Meng Yue for being shameless, seducing a foreign man herself, but blaming her mother for the trouble. Meng Yue cried out in anger and argued with her, and Meng Hua slapped her in anger.
The Second Mistress separates the rooms, Jiang Yishi is pregnant and neither of them will care much.
Linxiang asked Meng Yue if she asked the old lady to make a decision, Meng Yue was reluctant, and said that she was a parasite, and had already made a big mistake, making her father and siblings unhappy, and she was not willing to make more trouble …… Linxiang only had to accompany her back to the courtyard.
Jiang Yishi mourned her lack of fight, all hit on the face, she still just backed down.
Fu succeeded in raising Meng Yue to be invalid, and then thought about how to clean up Meng Ruimo and how to raise Meng Ruyu to be excellent, so she didn’t have much energy to manage Meng Hua.
Meng Hua’s impulsive and irritable nature is like the Duke of Cheng. Today at Fu An Hall, he was about to speak out, and was forced down by Meng Ru Yu, and now he is running here to make trouble.
When it was time to eat the morning meal, Second Lady Meng left.
Jiang Yishi finished eating, and rested for half an hour. When she woke up, Wang Hao’s daughter-in-law had been waiting on the porch for two quarters of an hour.
Wang Hao’s daughter-in-law is in her thirties and is very sharp.
Wang Hao has earned a lot of money by following the old Duke of China and bought a two-story mansion. Wang Hao’s daughter-in-law is not popular with Fu’s family, and has always been at home.
I heard that the grandma has become the family, but also let her go to work as a cleaning steward, husband and wife are extremely happy. This is the trust that Master Shizi and Great Grandma have in their couple.
They had thought that they would be marginalized when the old Duke passed away, but they hadn’t expected Fu to be stepped on and Great Grandma to directly take charge of the inner courtyard.
Jiang Yishi took Sister Wu, Linxiang, and Wang Hao’s daughter-in-law to the inner court council hall.
Jiang Yishi didn’t have much energy to manage the center feed in recent times, so she let Sister Wu and Linxiang help out.
Especially Linxiang, brisk, spirited, absolutely loyal, knows the people and things of the Meng family, focus on cultivating her. In the future, when Linxiang gets older, if she and Meng Qingshan are willing, let her be the steward of the inner courtyard.
Then transfer Shuizhu from Huzhuang over, and Jiang Yishi will have enough people around her. There is also Sister Guo, who was previously wronged by Fu, and then let her return to her previous position.
Halfway there, Meng Yue’s maid came to report that Meng Yue’s health was poor and she couldn’t go to the council chamber today.
The council chamber is in a corner of the west side of the inner courtyard, the courtyard stood more than twenty people, the original size of the pipe are here, most of the face of nervousness, there are a few may have heard the wind, a face of hostility.
Outside the council chamber stood a dozen people, is waiting to take over. The previous nine deputy stewards have not moved, not only because they have performed reasonably well, but also because they have been suppressed by Fu’s inner circle.
Second Lady Meng sat on the Luohan bed in the hall room drinking tea, while Sister Ji and Hong Ye sat on the brocade stool next to her. There were also a few big-bladed grannies standing, people who specialized in beating people up in the outer courtyard.
Second Lady Meng laughed and said, ”Resignation Mo daughter-in-law come and sit. Some old farts haven’t seen the situation clearly and are fanning the flames there.”
Jiang Yishi smiled and said to Linxiang, “You guys go out and collect all the pairs of cards and redistribute them.”
She was afraid of the noise now, and let a few maids and maids go out to collect them, rather than letting those people come in to hand them over.
Whether those people were willing or not, they all handed in their pairs of cards.
Linxiang again spoke on behalf of Jiang Yishi about who was responsible for what errand and handed out the pair of cards to them.
Immediately, there were yells from the courtyard, and there were also people who were not convinced and wanted to come in to question Great Grandma and Second Mistress. The few grannies who beat up people were put to use, beating up a few of the troublemakers before the outside world quieted down.
Jiang Yishi went to the door to say a few words. Feeling uncomfortable again, she left Lin Xiang and Sister Wu with the Second Mistress to distribute the work, and she went back to the Floating Life Residence to rest.
As soon as she returned, Shui Ling reported, “The people from Fu Qing Yuan came to inform that the dowager madam said she was not feeling well, and that the masters would each eat their own in the evening.”
Jiang Yishi reclined on the bed to rest.
When she heard Flower calling from the courtyard, she sat up.
She had sent Flower to scout the situation in the main courtyard and wondered if it had heard anything.
Flower was so smart that she knew she was Jiang Yishi’s obedient little girl and was not liked by Granny Fu, so she never went to the main courtyard during the day. If you want to listen to the movements there, you go to the courtyard near the main courtyard.
It jumped up onto the spoil board, keeping a certain distance from Jiang Yishi, and meowed, “I’ve been hearing from this morning to now, and all I hear is that Granny Fu cries, cries, cries, and Duke Cheng coaxes, coaxes, coaxes. Hmph, mealy-mouthed and annoying, not fun.”
Seeing the little thing’s face of impatience, Jiang Yishi coaxed it a few times and promised to let it go play in the forest for two days in a few days, and then go see Li Zhenbao.
Only then did the little thing cheer up, promising to listen to the wall corner if there was nothing else.
Jiang Yishi secretly grunted, the old Duke did not dare to tell Duke Cheng about Fu secretly help Zhao Guifei and Zhennan Marquis House of the matter, but told how Fu scourge Meng Yue and Meng Ruimo. Not only did Duke Cheng not blame Fu, but on the contrary, he felt that she had been wronged.
It’s true that when you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather.
Jiang Yishi missed Jiang Chen’s father even more. He did not remarry after Hu s death, both because he missed Hu and for the sake of a pair of children ……
Before dinner, the surprise voice of the watchman’s maid came, “Master Shizi is back.”
This voice made the silent Floating Life Residence immediately clamor and cheer, and the birds in the birdcage all sang.
Jojo began to recite the love poem again, “The so-called Yi Ren, on the side of the water, there is a good person in the north ……”
The voice of the maid maid, “Greetings to Master Shizi.”
Jiang Shijiu got up to welcome him out the door.
Seeing Jiang Yiji, the smile on Meng Zhimo’s face was brighter than a fiery red sunset.
He took a few quick steps and entered the house hand in hand.
As soon as he entered the house, Meng Zhimo embraced Jiang Yishi into his arms, scaring Sister Wu and several maids into avoiding the west side of the house.
Meng Zhimo kissed Jiang Yishi’s cheek for a moment, his lips lingered on her ear, and said softly, “Shishi, thank you. You don’t know, how much credit you’ve gotten this time ……”
Here do not dare to say some words, the two ears and temples for a while, let the maid serve Meng Zhimo clean hands and face.
After the meal, the subordinates sent down, Meng Ruimo only briefly talked about the matter during the hunt.
The emperor summoned Ping Wang, Ping Wang hugged the emperor’s legs and cried sadly, so that the emperor also has a few points of heartache. The meeting time is not long, only more than two moments, but the significance is far greater, the emperor’s dissatisfaction with King Ping and concubine Qu has been much less.
The emperor did not see concubine Qu, perhaps because the crown prince with Zhao five girls, so that he remembered the previous unhappy ……
Although this was a pity, the loss of Concubine Zhao and the Marquis of Zhennan was even more serious. Not only did they fail to stop the Emperor from seeing King Ping as they had hoped, they also lost a girl and their face.
“In order to stop the Emperor from seeing King Ping and Concubine Qu, the Marquis Zhennan Mansion has put in all their money and would rather push Fu out. I don’t know what consideration Fu based on, knowing that doing that would incur the displeasure of the Meng family’s current family, but still did it …… Noble Concubine Zhao summoned her, supposedly to appease, or promised some more heavy benefits.”
