C1742 A good wife has a good wife and a bad husband (1/2)
Seeing that Hu Po had come out, Fu Qing and Fu Hui's expression changed as they laughed and said, ”I'm sure. I was craving for this bite, thank you very much!” Fu Qing picked up a piece of green bean cake and threw it into his mouth, nodding his head and praising it.
According to the rules of etiquette, the Amber, Assassin, Ping Er and the other twelve Grand maidservants were all betrothed to Fu Hui under the orders of the Great Clan Elder, Ci Xi.
This kind of girl was commonly known as a concubine. She was a close friend her family prepared for her daughter, a girl that was bullied by men without help.
This kind of big girl had a higher status than ordinary maidservants, but more importantly, she had to serve the master. When the mistress couldn't stay with the master due to her unwell condition, the big girl would go up to fill her in.
The things that the old master likes will be upgraded to concubines, which raises his status. If the old master looks down on, he will be assigned to a servant or steward when he grows up and become a housekeeper.
Don't underestimate the housekeeper in the Great Mansion. They have a lot of power in their hands. Those who walk unhindered in the Beijing are not only those popinjays with eight flags, there are also many stewards of the Duke Palaces who are extremely domineering.
The stewards of General Yukiko went out to make tea, while Brother Red Ribbon rushed to pay the bill politely! Not to mention in Tanggu City, even stewards and mistresses in the palace would have a scary amount of face.
There was no need to talk about the distance, just talk about the steel produced by the Steel plant in the north, even the orders were all queued up until next year, but if you wanted to go through the back door with these people, you would need to bring up the goods within three days.
This was because all the big families understood the principle of being crafty and crafty. It was just like how the Qing San Ye had a iron nail factory in Da Xing County, and was opened by a brother of his own concubine, who used the metal of the Northern Iron Works.
Don't underestimate this kind of insignificant thing, in Great Qing, there really wasn't any other place like this. Fu Qing relied on this iron nail Factory's annual net profit of around 200,000-300,000, showing just how abundant the profits were.
Xiao Letian's Great Mansion was not someone that Fu Qing could compare to. Currently, the big girls, like Hu Po and the rest were no longer taking care of any specific things. All of them, like carrying tea and pouring water, giving handkerchief and the like, were busy with the other maid tasks.
When a husband invests capital, the first wife, second wife, and housekeeper will each be in charge of big and small affairs … ”” No, no... It was precisely because their identities were different that their relationship had now changed.
Fu Hui pulled on Hu Po's hand and sat down beside him. My body isn't that good to begin with, so why bother making me a snack? As long as the maidservants did these things … The divine doctor that came to Jiangnan a while ago gave you a prescription that's still useful? ”He's one of the most famous fighters in Suhang …”
The prescription that Fu Hui mentioned was to treat the side effects of Amber's poison, and when she heard about this, her eyes turned red and her tears fell, ”Ah … Don't even mention it, this is life! Your servant is unlucky, and will never have a future … ”I only hope that old master won't despise me in the future, and will reward me with a bowl of rice when I get old …”
After saying that, Hu Po began to cry. That poison incident was really the pain of his life. She cried so much that she felt wronged. This is my sin... ”I didn't cultivate in my previous life, and only in this life did I create such a vicious revenge …”
Kacha! Fu Hui's heart flashed across the field as though lightning, and a shiver rose from the depths of her heart.
”What's wrong with me? What the hell am I thinking? Should I, Fu Hui, not be enlightened? Three men have already died under the hands of this Keefer. Do I have to be the fourth one to die? Could it be that I want to kill Xiao Letian … ”
Just when he was a little bit away, Fu Hui had already leaked the news of Hu Niu giving birth to her son to her brother. With Fu Qing's temper, this matter had already spread to the Forbidden City the next day.
If the imperial government were to know that Xiao Letian already had a son and was a healthy crown prince, then the strategy the imperial government had towards the Hua Clan would have to change greatly.
