The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 174

第174章 今夜难眠
第174章

“你师姐精的跟个猴子似的,还用得着你这么点大的孩子操心,你师姐夫更是个了不得的,什么没见过?伱好好睡觉,不然长不高,等长大了你再去添点力。”

李郎中不容质疑地堵住了小东的话。

小东闭上了眼睛。

外面一阵一阵地响起鸟叫声,隔壁刘太医的窗户一会儿开一会儿关,听的很清楚。

顾靖晖却没合眼,侍卫们一条条消息传来,让他无法入眠。

秦鸢也没睡。

这些天,因着府里供奉天花娘娘的缘故,夫妻需分房。

顾靖晖在外院书房住着,红叶和翠茗就干脆在正房里伴着秦鸢歇息,晚上一起围坐在桌边盘账。

红叶学的很快,已经能够独立地盘账了,秦鸢检查过几次,就让她单独算。

翠茗则要慢上许多,但也能帮上忙。

内院的账本子已经盘完了,往年的还在府里账房那里封存着,红叶问:“小姐,往年的账还要盘吗?”

秦鸢没做声。

翠茗道:“这才半年多点,就这么多,这还没到年底,我的天。这么些年下来,不晓得要有多少。”

说实在的,秦鸢也被惊住了。

兴许是秦家太穷,林家又没有什么底蕴,她竟不知,没几个主子的侯府钱流的像水似的。

一个鸡蛋一文钱,到了侯府的账本子上,就是五文钱一个鸡蛋。

更不用说鸡鸭鱼肉,新奇的瓜果蔬菜,冬日里的银霜炭,夏日里的冰,平日里的香料、文玩、珍卉、奇绣。

每经过一层就要多一层花费。

这似乎都是惯例了。

红叶道:“怪不得卢妈妈的事把那些管事妈妈们吓成那样,我本来还担心小姐骤然接管了后院,她们要在背后生事,没想到六夫人手下的管事妈妈们也个个都跟鹌鹑似的,一点都不多话,原来是这些位置都太有油水了。”

人为财死,果然不虚。

这些趾高气扬的管事妈妈们心里怎么想她不知道,但面上都得老老实实的。

翠茗点头:“就是在秦府,管厨房的妈妈也是最滋润的。”

红叶哼了一声,道:“秦府管厨房的可是夫人的陪房,夫人管家,自然是把最肥的位置给她身边最得力、最信得过的人。”

言下之意,以前都是六夫人在管,那这些肥缺是不是都给了六夫人的人。

秦鸢道:“这就是我让你监管茶水房,多探听消息的缘由了,这些肥缺背后盘根错节的,没摸清楚底细之前,不好表态。谁让咱们来的时日短,还没站稳脚跟呢。”

有些事容嬷嬷未必知道,有些容嬷嬷又未必会告诉她。

红叶叹道:“如今封府,个个都呆在屋子里,连消息都不好打听了。”

秦鸢道:“我知道的,你不要心急,万事慢慢来。”

一只飞蛾直愣愣地飞来,扑打着灯罩,簌簌作响。

秦鸢轻挥团扇,将它扇走了。

红叶双手托腮,眨巴着眼睛道:“六夫人肯定能通过这些管事妈妈们得到不少好处。就算这些管事妈妈们都是老夫人的人,得了肥缺也不会不孝敬她,也算是一手遮天了。”

翠茗笑道:“明里暗里的好处肯定是少不了的,她在掌家,管事妈妈们总要看她眉高眼低的度日,少不得孝敬几分,但要说她在侯府一手遮天,我看又不是。”

红叶反驳:“小姐回门那次,不就是六夫人故意使坏,她的手都伸到外院的管事那里去了,要不是小姐派我去找容嬷嬷告状,那天还不知怎么收场。”

说起这件事,红叶还气的不轻。

秦鸢笑了笑。

按着红叶的脾气,这件事只怕死都记得。

翠茗笑道:“她若是能一手遮天,又何苦如此。这件事还是借七小姐的手做的,害得七小姐被侯爷、老夫人整治,现在还关在院子里学纺线绣花。”

秦鸢点头附和,“对,不然我又为何能顺势从她手里得了小半的中馈呢。”

要真一手遮天,那小半中馈她得了也守不住。

不过是狐假虎威耳。

红叶嘟着嘴不言语了。

秦鸢知她恨不能将顾六夫人好好收拾一顿,斟酌半晌道:“往年的账就先不盘了,我意在中馈,那些管事妈妈们先不论,毕竟断人财路犹如杀人父母,这些关窍细节记下来就是,总有咱们用得着的时候。”

红叶叹着气点头。

翠茗沉思。

秦鸢又道:“六夫人贪墨的银子,估算一下即可,用不着一笔笔的细算,毕竟她也还是六爷的夫人,六爷嫡子嫡女的母亲,就是看在他们的面上,老夫人也不会拿她如何。我只要老夫人知道她都做了什么,同意将中馈全都交给我就行了。”

杀人不过头点地,她和顾六夫人还要做妯娌。

只要顾六爷不休妻,还给六夫人嫡妻的尊重,她就不能和顾六夫人完完全全撕破脸。

不然就是在给顾六爷难堪了。

红叶嘟着嘴不吭声。

秦鸢看着她道:“我要的只是一个让六夫人交出中馈的理由。一个说破天去都无法改变的理由,贪墨就是最合适的。”

翠茗道:“小姐这么想没错,虽然六夫人一直在给小姐使绊子,但却没到要赶尽杀绝的地步,老夫人以前靠着六夫人执掌中馈,若是因为小姐对六夫人处罚太过,难免会有闲话,说老夫人有了嫡子媳妇就对庶子媳妇不慈。”

苛待庶子苛待庶子媳妇,传出去名声也不好听。

更何况徐家又很难缠。

红叶也想到了这一点,默默低下头,细细撕着手边的废纸。

秦鸢没再说话,拿起笔,将梳理出的明细誊到纸上。

这些红叶和翠茗都已经整理合计了一遍,誊写起来到也不多。

上次顾侯爷磨出来一盒的墨汁,还没用完,到省了功夫。

写好之后,翠茗一一摊放,等着墨汁干透。

好半天没说话的红叶突然道:“六夫人至少有句话说的是对的,有个孩子就站住脚了,她贪墨银子,又在背后使坏,还跟六爷打架,将六爷的脸挠成那样,还不是会被轻轻放下。”

红叶说这话的时候,低着头,都没看秦鸢一眼。

但这话显然是对秦鸢说的。

翠茗皱了皱眉,红叶现在不催着小姐圆房了,倒是改催生孩子了。

Author:

After being reborn, Qin Yuan discovers that her legitimate younger sister has also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from her previous life, the impoverished Juren, but she also insists on marrying her off to the Duke of Dingbei, her previous life’s brother-in-law. Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood. Why is she now the Prime Minister's wife, enjoying honor and prestige while I am rejected by my husband and oppressed by a concubine, living a lonely life?” In this life, her younger sister is despairing: “Why is Qin Yuan doing even better?! Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
