Chapter 158: Missing (Two Shifts in One)
Mo Forget's eyebrows twitched, and he understood, whether he was too serious, or the girl was cautious and saw people's hearts thoroughly.
"As for the loyal servants who are too faithful," Zhiruo continued, "the more loyal they are to their former masters, the more difficult it is for them to integrate into their new roles. ”
Don't forget to nod: "I know, don't worry, big girl, I'm not good at looking at people and picking people, but there is still Uncle Qiang." This is also the reason why he thinks of looking for Johnson every time he needs to add people, and Johnson has a unique view and experience of buying people. The people selected by Qiangbo, after training and training, six or seven out of ten are easy to use and useful, and the remaining three or four may have such and such deficiencies, but there is no problem with their character.
Zhiruo smiled in agreement, picking and employing people is a university question. Speaking of which, although the treatment of slaves in the Plum Village was far better than in other places, the punishment was also terrible, which they were repeatedly warned about when they entered the Plum Village. After arriving in Meizhuang, there were so many new people, plus the original old man, only two were found to have bad intentions, one was sold to the lowest building in the northwest after receiving thirty boards, and the other was sold to the northwest mine with a bow and crossbow because he was trained as a guard, and when disposing of those two people, Qiang Bo and Mo Forget let all the slaves on the Zhuangzi watch it together to set an example.
On this point, Zhiruo and Qiangbo are all of the same opinion, they just want everyone to know that as long as they are faithful and abide by their duties, Meizhuang is heaven, otherwise, it is more terrible than hell. Don't forget to say cruelly in public, disloyalty is disloyalty, as long as there is tangible evidence to find infidelity, even if it has not had time to cause consequences, don't think about reducing the punishment.
At that time, although Zhiruo was only watching from a distance, he could still feel the seemingly innate superiority momentum of Mo Forget, and couldn't help but think about that question again: Who is Mo Forget, and what kind of experience has he had?
Zhiruo thought that Ji's return to the Yuanhou Mansion of Qingqing would definitely make a big fuss, and it was estimated that there would be a storm in the city. Unexpectedly, the wind and waves were calm, but in two days, Ji was personally escorted home to the temple by Qiu Yiran.
After a moment's pause, Zhiruo smiled dumbly and shook his head. She has memories of her past life, so she has always relied on her memory to think that someone is what she is, but she has forgotten that many people and many things will be very different with the change of circumstances. In the previous life, the reputation of the Qiu family was not so bad, and with the huge dowry she handed over, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion can be said to be swept away gloomy and thriving, and Qiu Yiran is even more proud like a new upstart. In this life, hehe, compared with the future of her two sons, her daughter's marriage is naturally at a disadvantage, not to mention that because of her involvement, Qiu Yanran's family affairs are indeed difficult, and it is not easy to marry into an official family, let alone the right family.
In modern times, women can still leave home and fight, but this is the ancient times when the fate of parents is greater than heaven, and women marry their husbands at home, no matter how reluctant the woman is, unless she has the courage to run away alone (and can escape successfully) or would rather die, she can only bow her head. For example, whether it is the pampered Qiu Yanran or the high-spirited Ruxia, in the end, they can only accept it obediently.
Thinking of Cao Cao Cao, Zhiruo was sighing for the helplessness of most women in this era, and the magpie hurried over: "Girl, Ruxia has come to see you again, the porter said to ask for instructions, and then knelt outside and cried and begged, causing many people to watch outside the Zhuangzi, don't forget that the eldest brother has passed, let me ask the girl." ”
"Oh?" Zhiruo raised his eyebrows, "What is she here for?" "What I said last time was not alienated enough, and what I said was not clear enough?" Besides, the Yin family is no longer the Zhenbei General's Mansion now, and the Niu family is no longer the slave of the Yin family, Ruxia doesn't want to be a concubine for that old man, and she can't ask her here.
Rudong pursed his lips: "That kind of person is to drive away, don't forget the eldest brother, it's true, didn't he say to stay away from Ruxia?"
Zhiruo shook her head and said with a smile: "Bring my hat, let's go out to see what she wants to sing." ”
"You! People didn't do anything, they just asked to see the girl, how can they get rid of it? Let people say that the girl is ruthless?" Ruchun funnily poked Rudong, who looked disapproving and wanted to say something, took the hat taken by the magpie and followed Zhiruo.
Rudong pouted, and quickly pulled the magpie to follow: "Remember, you must not let Ruxia get close to the girl!" Who knows what Ruxia is crazy about today, or what conspiracy she colludes with Ruqiu, how can she not follow the girl to protect the girl?
At the gate of Zhuangzi, Ruxia was still kneeling, crying and begging: "Let me see the girl, let me go in to see the girl, the girl has a kind heart, she has always treated me like a relative, she will not watch me die." ”
Ruxia wore a cyan shirt today, a moon-white skirt, plain flowers and wood hairpins, and cried pear blossoms with rain, she looked even more pitiful and pitiful, which made people feel pity, and some men in the crowd couldn't help but feel pity: "Ouch, hey, crying so pitifully, is there something in trouble that has happened to the eldest girl of the Yin family?" "Yes, listening to her, it should be the slave maid who went out of Meizhuang, and now she is asking for it back." "Didn't you say that the eldest girl of the Yin family had ......a good heart?
Ruxia was secretly smug with her head down, she believed that Yin Zhiruo would soon let people come to invite her in, and if she didn't want to see her again, no matter how reluctant she was, Yin Zhiruo couldn't afford to lose this face, right? As long as she entered Meizhuang, she had a way to get Yin Zhiruo to agree to help her, no matter how it changed, Yin Zhiruo would never suddenly change from that soft-hearted big girl to someone who could watch her die in front of her, right? What's more, Yin Zhiruo has always been timid and hesitant, can he not be afraid of committing an unexplained murder? She first cried and begged here, and then entered Meizhuang in full view of everyone, if she died inside, Meizhuang would be out of business? Yin Zhiruo said it clearly? Yin Zhiruo's previous temperament was weak, but he was never stupid, and he would not be unable to understand this truth.
Of course, if she forced Yin Zhiruo to help her like this, it would definitely make Yin Zhiruo unhappy, and she would definitely not treat her like before, but she had no choice now, right? She heard that there were many aunts in the Ning family, and many of them died of illness inexplicably. Phew, what kind of illness died? It's not like she's not unheard of the dirty things in the backyard of a big family. It can be seen that the old lady of the Ning family is jealous and very spicy. What's more, she gets goosebumps all over her body at the thought of serving an old man, and she doesn't have that motivation to compete for favor, does she?
Therefore, now it can be said that she is desperate, she can only suppress her pride to ask Yin Zhiruo, and spend more effort to please Yin Zhiruo in the future.
Thinking like this, Ruxia violently twisted the tender flesh on her thighs, and suddenly burst into tears: "Girl, girl, help me! Girl, let me in! I want to see the girl!" Aunt ...... "Is she dazzled? Isn't it Yin Zhiruo who got off the sedan chair in front of her and walked over? Although she was wearing a hat, she still recognized it at a glance." How could it be? Why did Yin Zhiruo come out? Shouldn't someone let her in? Could it be that her heart suddenly softened again and came to pick her up in person?
"I'm here, just tell me what you want. Zhiruo's cold voice instantly shattered the extravagant hope that had just popped up in Ruxia's mind, and the whole heart was cold.
The surroundings were lively: "Wow, is that the girl wearing the hat the eldest girl of the Yin family? She actually came out in person?" "That's it, what did I say just now? The eldest girl Yin is famous for treating her subordinates well, and this is still a slave who has been released." "But isn't it? This old maid is really, and the temperament of the master she serves is not clear? I'd like to hear what she's struggling with. ”......
Ruxia, who was unprepared for this situation, heard the discussion around her, and became even more at a loss, seeing that the magpie commanded the two mothers-in-law to carry a Taishi chair over and put it in the door facing her, Ruchun and Rudong helped Zhiruo to sit down, it was really a "just talk here" posture, and her hands and feet became even colder. How can she talk about it here? Can she say those things in public? Even if she seeks death here, so many people will not be able to rely on Yin Zhiruo, what should she do? Why is Yin Zhiruo acting so strange now? It cannot be inferred according to common sense.
"Ah Gengbo," Zhiruo suddenly turned to the porter who was standing beside Mo Wang, "what did you say to Ruxia, or what did you do?, why did she kneel on the ground and cry so pitifully?"
Ah Gengbo suppressed his anger and responded: "Big girl, the slave doesn't know what's wrong, the slave just said that she wanted to report and ask for instructions according to the normal rules, and she suddenly knelt on the ground and cried. The slave can't figure it out, she Ruxia has also been a big girl, I don't know the rules of a big family? I don't know if there is no post to visit, you need to report it first? And she also came before, and the slave did the same, and she was also waiting here in the gatehouse, and I don't know which one is evil today?"
Zhiruo said "Oh?" and turned his head to Ruxia: "Is it Ruxia? When you were a maid by my side before, I didn't see you crying so much, how can you love to kneel when you redeem yourself and go out? How can you say that it is also a small jasper now, isn't it ugly to cry and kneel in public? Oh yes, isn't your family going to cooperate with the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion to open a store? That day, Da Mao heard your father on the street saying to the same person happily, I heard that it is still a business that will become a prosperous shop. Seeing that your family is getting more and more developed, you should pay more attention. ”
The crowd of onlookers boiled again: "Oh, if you want to do a big business, what are you doing with such a pitiful look?" "It can't be that you want to find Miss Yin to borrow silver to do business, right? It's just an old servant, and her face is really big!" "That is, isn't it cooperating with the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion? Will there be a shortage of silver?" ......
"Girl, I'm ...... I...... I was so nervous that the girl would not want to see me, and would not let me go back to her, so I listened to what Agenbo said. Ruxia's eyes were blurred, and her head was a mess.
She didn't know how to describe her embarrassment at this time, how could it be so coincidental, her father couldn't help but brag with her old acquaintance that time, and she happened to be bumped into by Da Mao? You know, Zuixiangfang is still looking for an incense master and other preparatory affairs, and it has not yet been announced to the public, because Dad leaked the news that time, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion also called Dad to warn him.
How much did Da Mao hear? Did you hear that they made perfume? Did Yin Zhiruo suspect anything? That's why he came out in person and prepared to expose her in public?
For the first time, Ruxia had this feeling of being roasted on the fire, and she secretly scolded herself for thinking about it, why did she forget the "delicate face and seven fragrances"? She took out the secret recipe and knew that sooner or later Yin Zhiruo would know, but she was not ready to go back to Meizhuang to see Yin Zhiruo again. Right now...... What should I do? Not to mention the others, even if she can go back to Meizhuang to be a maid, she doesn't dare, the body deed is in Yin Zhiruo's hands, once Yin Zhiruo knows about the "Jiaoyan Qixiang", does she still have a way to live?
It's messy, it's messy, Ruxia feels that she is completely chaotic, she has been thinking hard about it for the past few days, and her mind is full of how to make her father and mother give up her plan to send her to Ning's house.
According to her calculations, as long as she can return to Yin Zhiruo's side to be a big girl, she will get back two or two months of silver every month, and then promise her father that she will be able to ask Yin Zhiruo to intercede with King Jing and get a place for her younger brother to go to school, and her father and mother will give up selling her to the Ning family. After all, the contract of cooperation with the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was signed, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion could not break the contract because of this matter, as long as the Zuixiangfang was opened, their family would not be short of silver, and what reason did they have to sell her daughter, her father and mother had always valued her very much, didn't she?
The most important thing is that as long as she returns to Yin Zhiruo's side, her father and mother will not be able to be the master of her family, if Yin Zhiruo is afraid of the Ning family and dares to give her to the old man of the Ning family, she will not be scolded and vicious, and sacrifice herself as a maid in order to tie up with the Ning family?
She calculated very well, but unfortunately she didn't calculate that Yin Zhiruo already knew that they were going to open a shop, and she didn't expect that Yin Zhiruo would personally come out to "talk" with her in public......
"Come back to me, be a maid?" Zhiruo's voice was full of doubts, and it sounded full of ridicule to Ruxia, "Ruxia, you didn't say anything wrong, did you? Or would I be wrong? The girl from the Wangpu family's family didn't do it, and went back to Meizhuang to be a maid?I knew that you were so reluctant to me, and I wouldn't have agreed to your family's request to redeem yourself, so why don't you stay?"
