Chapter 70 Panic
"Mother is not afraid, the stage is set up in the water pavilion over there. Our water pavilion is different from other houses. It has two floors. Sitting upstairs and listening to opera through the water is also very interesting. The sound will be brighter."
Yuan has always had no principles for Xie Zhiwei, she can help her with ideas, of course it is what Xie Zhiwei said, and she clapped Xie Zhiwei's hand happily, "I listen to you!"
As for the arrangement of the flower hall, the chairs and benches are all ready-made. In Xie’s storeroom, there are all kinds of styles, and they are all complete sets. Originally, a set of chrysanthemum style was used, but it was destroyed in the end. It's not impossible to get together a set of autumn chrysanthemums, but those good chrysanthemums are hard to find.
"Mother, leave the layout of the flower hall to me. I've already drawn up the menu. I'll ask Zi Mo to take it to the kitchen. In the kitchen, I'd like to ask Mother Tian to knock it out so that Siyi Pavilion doesn't happen. .”
The kitchen needs to be on guard against not purchasing good ingredients, but Xie Zhiwei is not worried that someone will do anything else. The steward of the kitchen is an old man of the Xie family. The Xie family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has the rules of the Xie family. It is not like that in other houses. When the head of the house is changed, all the housekeepers, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law will be replaced.
All along, several important office workers and their wives have been selected from the old people of the Xie family, including the kitchen and shopping, and they have always been selected from the old people of the Xie family who are smart and capable.
Xie Zhiwei just thought about it, then took the warehouse pair of cards from Yuan's hand, and led the people to Xie's warehouse in a mighty manner.
Xie’s warehouse is on the West Road. From the backyard in the north, a diversion river winds to lead to the outer river. It enters from the back street and passes by the West Road. A three-story building is built on the west side of Anfu Hall, with a total of more than 100 rooms up and down. The house is the storehouse of the Xie family.
Xie Zhiwei made such a big noise, it is impossible for Chunhui Hall not to hear the movement. Everyone knows that Siyi Pavilion, which was chosen by the eldest girl, was well furnished, but it was destroyed by others. For the banquet in the future, the eldest girl had no choice but to choose the Dahua Hall again.
Mrs. Xiao was talking with the old lady in Chunhui Hall. When she heard the movement, the old lady thought it was noisy and asked, "What's going on outside?"
After hearing this, Lan Yuan, the maidservant in front of the old lady, went out to take a look, raised the curtain and came in, and replied, "Back to the old lady, there is the eldest girl leading people in the warehouse building to adjust the tables, chairs, benches, and vases. Listen, servant girl." Said, at the Siyi Pavilion, several vases from the previous dynasty were destroyed, a yellow glazed animal ear statue, which was the old lady's favorite, was actually destroyed."
As soon as she heard that it was a yellow-glazed animal ear statue, the old lady's heart skipped a beat. Now she was a little apprehensive when she heard the name of the old lady, so she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was unnaturally stared at by the old lady, and said with a sneer, "Mother, why do you look at your daughter-in-law like this? Could it be that mother thinks that the person who destroyed Siyi Pavilion is the daughter-in-law?"
Without evidence, the old lady certainly wouldn't say yes.
She raised her sleeves, twisting the string of eighteen pieces one by one with her fingers, "The yellow-glazed animal ear statue is the old man's favorite treasure. The Xie family has passed it down for nearly two hundred years. It is broken like this." , what a pity."
Xiao Shi didn't take it seriously, and it was just a piece of porcelain that allowed it to go forward or not. What's more, she just sent a message to ask Nanny Tang to do this. How could she know that Yuan Shi was also bold, and actually put out the yellow-glazed beast ear statues, and she really looked like a nouveau riche.
Mrs. Xiao also trembled a little. The old man is the Minister of Dali Temple. What does Dali Temple do? If the old man intervenes in the trial of the prison case, the matter is really a bit hanging.
Mrs. Xiao winked at Nanny Tang, just in time to take advantage of the urgent matter in the long room, and she couldn't spare her hands for a while, so she cleaned up everything from head to toe.
Nurse Tang was waiting on the side, she handled this matter, and when Cai Lanyuan said it, she also became anxious. After receiving the signal from Xiao Shi, she found an excuse and went out.
Sure enough, it was Xiao Shi!
The old lady's heart tightened, it was not a good time to criticize Mrs. Xiao, she waved her hand and sent all the people below down, "I'm tired, I want to rest for a while, you go down, let your second wife serve me. "
The old lady was lying on the Arhat bed. Xiao came forward and put the big welcome pillow behind her, and helped her take off her shoes and put them on the pedal. Knowing what the old lady was going to say, but Xiao didn't want to hear it, and didn't speak.
The old lady pointed to her forehead, "Press here for me."
Mrs. Xiao knelt on the pedal, gently pressed the foreheads on both sides for the old lady, and heard the old lady say, "I know you are blaming me. The right to give in the palm was taken away by the elder room. You are blaming me for not being in front of the old lady." Speak for you. Don’t even think about it, the second child crawled out of my stomach, if I don’t face you, can I still face Yuan Shi? Really, the old man’s words are too harsh. "
When the old lady said this, she was full of grievances. There are some things that are not easy to talk to her daughter-in-law, so she can only point them to the end. Since that day, her heart has never been peaceful for a moment.
Xiao's hand paused slightly, she really didn't expect that the old man has always been strict and attaches great importance to rules. She has been married to the Xiao family for so many years, and she only sees the old man during the New Year and holidays. She only knows that the old man is majestic, and he keeps his word at home, but with the old lady, after all, they are husband and wife for more than 20 years, and they respect her mother-in-law on weekdays. Will she still divorce her mother-in-law?
But at this time, judging by her mother-in-law's expression, she may not be able to.
"Maybe the old man is just talking. Mother, don't take it too seriously. If the daughter-in-law is not doing well enough, the mother will tell her, will the daughter-in-law not change?"
"After all, it's for Cui's dowry." Feng closed her eyes, but she didn't see the panic flashing in Xiao's eyes, "Those things, even though they were all given to her, a farm , I also took out all three shops, who knows, that little **** is still not satisfied."
Ms. Xiao was so frightened that she wanted to cover Feng's mouth. She could scold Xie Zhiwei like that? If the old man finds out, even she, who has listened to it, will follow suit.
"Mother, since Sister Wei wants it, now that she's older, it's time to return it to her. If you keep it, the daughter-in-law may be inappropriate." Xiao said cautiously, and saw the old lady's eyes suddenly He opened it and gave her a fierce look.
Feng Shi sat up, "That day, you also saw Cui Shi's dowry list, those things are worth a lot, and we can't deal with them. If you take out any of them, the Cui family will take care of them." Notice it. Those farm shops, where do you think the ten thousand to twenty thousand silver I gave you every year came from?"
