Such as Zheng's mother, who has been by Zhu's side for a long time. I'm used to seeing good things on weekdays, and I can naturally not blink in the face of a box of silver tickets. However, at this moment, Zhang's mother stood in front of the kang with her head down, her eyes peeking at the pile of fifty taels of silver tickets that could be redeemed at sight, but she couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm. This really can't blame her for being shallow-eyed, although she has served in the house for many years, but she got married from a little girl to the second class, and then although she is still in the Tatexiang Courtyard, others also call her a mother, but she can't say anything in front of the Zhu family, and the man is not an errand outside, and the monthly case of the couple is only three or two. Therefore, after entering the house, she wondered if the old lady would give a reward or two if she was in a good mood.

However, Zhu glanced at the pile of silver tickets, and his heart turned around in an instant, and then he gently closed the box, but he didn't notice Zhang's mother's disappointed expression. Seeing that the green calyx stepped forward to put the box away, she waved her hand at it, and said lightly: "Don't move this." I'll talk about it when your third lady comes in. ”

After saying this, she looked up at Zhang's mother: "Just now I heard a lot of noise outside, and it was shouting again, what happened?" ”

Mother Zhang glanced at the red snail, and after all, she didn't dare to hide it from the old lady according to Chen Lan's instructions, so she bent her knees with a smile on her face and said, "Back to the old lady's words, there are indeed some things. The third lady just told the little one not to tell the old lady, but since the old lady heard it, the little one didn't tell him again, and she was inevitably suspected of bullying the master. Here's the thing, before Father-in-law Xia came, saying that he wanted to see the third miss, the third miss hurriedly went out to meet him, and the result was ......"

After all, I didn't see the bloody scene in person, and there was a red snail pestle on the side, so Zhang's mother just followed Chen Lan into the house dryly, and after Lai's mother relayed what Lai's mother said, seeing that Zhu's face gradually turned cold, she hurriedly stood aside honestly, and she didn't dare to make a sound. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhu to open his mouth again, but he asked Hongluo to explain in detail what happened before.

Hongluo had expected that Chen Lan would inevitably let her follow Zhang's mother over, and she also said it impartially at the moment, and when she finished speaking, she quietly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. When Zhu saw her lying on the ground, he didn't scream or say anything. After a long time, he sighed: "There are those who are worry-free, and there are those who are not worry-free...... That's it, it was originally her kind heart to maintain, but now it seems that this kindness has been trampled in vain! Go see where the people are, and let people come! ”

Although he did not name him, everyone knew that Zhu's name was Chen Lan. Therefore, Yu Shao hurriedly agreed. Before she could go out, the little girl who was waiting outside announced in a loud voice: "Old lady, the third lady is here!" ”

Seeing Chen Lan who came in with undisguised anger on his face, Zhu Shi understood what was going on after a little thought, so he stopped her salute and ordered him to sit down beside him, and then asked what happened.

Chen Lan seemed to still have the bloody scene flashing in front of him, stood up and bowed his knees to thank him, and then he opened his mouth to tell Chen Yun about being slapped by Chen Xi, and then showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "If that incident just now spreads out, I'm afraid everyone will have to say that our Hou Mansion has no rules for elders and young." The fifth sister is hateful, but the fourth sister's words are too hurtful! Now the old lady is still recuperating, they were originally sent by the second and third uncles to serve, and now they are planning. The granddaughter dared to ask the old lady to send a letter back, and asked the second and third uncles to send someone to pick them up! ”

"You're absolutely right!"

The Zhu family originally had the intention to call Chen Xi in and reprimand him, but after thinking about it, Chen Ying couldn't calculate and was even more embarrassed. Thinking of this, she nodded in agreement with Chen Lan's proposal. Although there are still some more ruthless thoughts in my heart, I think about Chen Xi is the granddaughter of the Chen family after all, her reputation and face are too bad, not to mention hurting others, even her daughter Korean Duchess was also victimized, so she gave up, but she still found another place to vent her anger.

"I know that you are trying to reassure me, but you are about to make a fuss, and I, an old woman, have no reason to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. Since you have already said that you sent those girls away, then do so and get out of the four girls and the five girls. As for you, you will be fined for half a year, and you will be punished severely. ”

Chen Lan was shocked, and was about to persuade one or two, but who knew that the Zhu family pondered for a while, but he changed his mind again.

"Wait...... If those girls wait until they return home, it is inevitable that some people will go up and down the camp and go to the door, and it will be difficult to receive the effect of punishment at that time, so they will simply match people on the spot. Since the tenants on this Zhuangzi will also be considered in our house in the future, let Zhang Zhuangtou pick a few single ones and marry those girls to them. You have been exempted from rent and given work. Now that you have rewarded people, you will naturally be more and more grateful to you, and it will save these girls from coming back to be an eyesore! ”

"Old lady, it's not one or two people, isn't it too ......"

Although Chen Lan had said something about being a twitch before, it was just a threatening remark, but after coming in and returning to the courtesy, Zhu Shi actually said that she really wanted to send it away, and she felt that it was difficult to return for a while. However, Zhu was now going to match those girls to the tenants on the Zhuangzi, she really felt a little unbearable, hesitated for a moment and was asking for mercy, and suddenly felt that Zhu slapped her hand.

"You kid have a good heart, and I know that, but sometimes you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless. This matter was not done by the five girls instigating people, so that the two of you sisters have no face, it is the bitter meat trick of the four girls, and I can't see it when I am old? Since you said that your girl has never been to their house, then it must be the people under them, if you can't punish them severely, when the matter spreads, people will say that there is no rule in our house! One by one, they don't talk about fourteen, fifteen or sixteen, they are just right for people, so they don't have to say anything to people! ”

Chen Lan is not really soft-hearted. I just felt that there must be a group of innocent people among them, and only punished the girl, but the master behind it was unharmed, and she didn't think it was a taste. But Zhu's words were on point, so she took a deep breath and had to nod, but decided to say something to Zhang Zhuangtou in her heart, at least pick some of the tenants who are of the right age and good looks.

Although she knew that the old lady was not the kind and generous she usually showed, but with this neat and tidy disposition just now, Mother Zhang and Hongluo still shuddered together. When Zhu ordered Chen Rui to send a letter to Jingshi, Zhang's mother, who was in a state of distraction, only reacted after Hongluo lightly bumped her elbow. I was busy agreeing, but as soon as I walked, I was floating under my feet.

Chen Lan also said things like teasing people before, and the girls below begged for mercy, but they were not so afraid after all. After all, there are eight girls brought by Chen Xi and Chen Yun together, either second or third, plus Chen Lan's own four, no one believes it. However, no one expected that it would not be long before a news came that seemed to be a blow to the head.

The old lady is going to get rid of them together!

Whether it is the son of the Hou Mansion or the one who sells into the mansion from outside, but all the girls who can survive to the second or third class, not to mention wearing gold and silver, the four seasons clothes on weekdays, the jewelry head and face rewarded by the master, plus the monthly money for twelve months every year, add it to the top of a piece and even reach the use of a well-off family. Therefore, since the age of the Hou Mansion girl is matched, the first envy is not that the girl who admires everyone is hired to be the main room, nor is it assigned to those who have heads and faces, but to the young masters and masters. Only in this way can we eat and wear all our lives without worrying. What's more, these girls who serve the young lady are almost half masters on weekdays, and they never thought that they would be rationed to the tenants.

In a panic, the seven people had to be divided into two sides and quarreled, but there was no result of pushing and shoving, and some people wanted to find their own young lady to intercede, but they were blocked by the two mothers-in-law when they arrived at the door, and there were a few strong women guarding the house. Seeing that he couldn't break through, Xiujiang, the most powerful person beside Chen Xi, couldn't help but shout at the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law with a thick waist had only taken the hibiscus and the woods before, where were you afraid of such second-class girls at this time.

"Do you still think you are a golden and noble girl? If you don't persuade the young lady to serve well, what a big deal will it be, if you are still kept, what will become of the house? The old lady has already spoken, that is, the second master and the third master, who will fight against the old lady for you slaves? Let's stop it. Even the fourth and fifth ladies are grounded, waiting for the government to send someone to take them back, not to mention you girls! ”

The mother-in-law who spoke saw that the faces of several girls were like ashes, and two or three of them were demented, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the pillar where the blood had not been wiped clean. Thinking that Lai's mother had also conveyed the old lady's instructions, the mother-in-law hurriedly added two more sentences: "Also, I can warn you little sisters, don't learn from Danxin and can't get along with the pillar, use death to blackmail the master, and it is you Lao Tzu Niang who will suffer when you turn back, even if you die, don't think about anything to pretend!" Acquaintances are honest and matched, where is not to live! ”

Seeing the door slamming in front of him, Xiujiang only felt that his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground all of a sudden, while the other girls were also crying in a daze, and for a while, the room was full of sobbing.

Chen Yan, who was coming back from outside, heard this cry as soon as he entered the weeping flower door, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but he still went straight to the west wing room in high spirits. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that in the middle of the room, all four girls of Hongluo Yun'er were kneeling upright on the ground, while his own girls Dew Drop and Sandalwood were standing there with their hands down, their faces full of fear. Seeing that his sister Chen Lan's face on the chair in the middle was very bad, he hurriedly walked around and asked with a frown, "Sister, did they make you angry?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yun'er's low voice came from below: "Miss, it's all the slave's fault." If it weren't for the slave maid who thought that she could hear some news, and let Danxin and Xiujiang enter the door one after another, she wouldn't have given them a chance to twist those shoes, and the slave and maid should die. ”

"What shoes are ......" Chen Yan asked suspiciously, and then his face changed greatly, "Is it that my sister spent a lot of time on the shoes that was twisted?" Who is so bold! ”
