Chapter 118: Compassion
Mrs. Situ was soft-hearted, and she really felt sorry for Mother Xue's young widow and it was not easy to take her eldest daughter, and she remembered the pain of being separated from her daughter for ten years, and her expression was a little unbearable. When Situ Ningbing www.biquge.info saw it, he told her about the big girl Huang Ying, who he sold when he was a child, a few years ago.
“…… The boy was eight or nine years old, thin as a monkey, covered with scars, and had been abused and beaten by his father all year round, and dared to stop my horse for a few taels of silver...... I couldn't recognize Huang Ying when I saw her, she was not even Chinese New Year's Eve today, but she looked like she was in her forties, her face was yellow and thin, not to mention, her original pair of skillful hands were also rough, and she couldn't hold a needle and thread for a long time......" Goodbye to the old big girl gave Situ Ningbing a great touch, at that time she was still young, thinking that things were far less meticulous than now, I always felt that Huang Ying was bullying her young and challenging her majesty as a master, and she was determined to teach this maid who didn't put herself in her eyes a lesson, and by the way, she also made an example to the following maids who thought she was young and could be bullied! Ten years have passed, and this little thing has long disappeared in memory like dust, until that **** Seeing the skinny, ragged woman with no trace of freshness in her eyes, only numbness, Situ Ningbing realized that maybe his original "lesson" was too big!
Mrs. Situ couldn't help but feel gloomy when she heard what happened to Huang Ying, although she hated Su Yun's wrong thoughts, she couldn't bear to let her fall to such a point, but according to her daughter's intentions, she felt that she really spared Su Yun, if this reward and punishment were not clear, how to control her subordinates in the future?
"Otherwise..."Mrs. Situ thought for a while, "send her to Zhuangzi, and then match her with a tenant, and when Mother Xue is old in a few years, you will give her some silver and let her go to Zhuangzi to support the elderly and reunite with the family." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother. Situ Ningbing showed a look of approval, and this matter was decided. The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Mrs. Situ went back to the Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Tell me, whose idea was this?" As soon as Mrs. Situ left, Situ Ningbing looked at the two big maids beside him with a smile on her face, Jianlian and Hongluan.
Seeing the smile on his master's face, he only felt a chill down his spine, and knelt down as soon as his feet were weak, "It's the slave's idea." ”
Hongluan saw that the slave was kneeling, so naturally he didn't dare to stand and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, don't blame Sister Pian, this matter was provoked by the slave maid first, and the lady is also the news that the slave maid asked Mother Xu to reveal, if you want to punish the slave maid, you can punish the slave and the maid!"
"Okay!" Listening to the "bang" sound louder and louder, Situ Ningbing twisted his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't knock!"
"Don't be in a hurry to take the charge on your body, you didn't see mercy behind you to support you, do you have the courage?!" After snorting coldly, Situ Ningbing returned to his usual leisure, looked at Hongluan who was kneeling on the ground and said lazily: "Since you want to receive punishment so much, I will fulfill you." From today on, you will be demoted to the third class, temporarily do some rough work with the rough envoy in the yard, and go to the flower room to plant flowers after returning to Longxi. ”
After she finished saying these few words, Hongluan was already stunned, and looked at the pity beside her who hung her head and said nothing, and Hongluan wanted to kowtow again.
Situ Ning's cold gaze fell on her, and her tone was still lazy but a little unquestionable, "Don't tell me to say it a second time!"
Hongluan's body trembled, her lips trembled a few times, and it took a long time before she said calmly as if resigned to her fate, "Yes, the slave obeys." He straightened up and kowtowed to Situ Ningbing before slowly standing up and exiting the main room. She's not a big girl anymore, and she's not qualified to stay here.
Hongluan walked out of the main house in despair, but she didn't know that Situ Ningbing nodded almost invisibly behind her. This girl is too impulsive, and she has been too happy recently, although she will not get carried away, but she is a little presumptuous, just take this opportunity to sharpen her temperament, if she can get through, it will be of great use, otherwise...... There are people around her, and she is not the only one who is missing!
After disposing of Hongluan, it will be the next turn to see mercy. Without waiting for Situ Ningbing to speak, he consciously said when he saw pity: "The slave is guilty, please punish the young lady!"
Situ Ningbing stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Get up! I don't have a long memory of how many times I punished you, and I don't bother to punish you!"
Seeing pity was stunned, but it was just like that? Shouldn't she be punished for copying the Heart Sutra hundreds of times or letting her jump around the yard or something? Seeing mercy was a little apprehensive, did the young lady see her plan and tactfully stop it? Or was the young lady actually very angry and felt that she was hopeless and decided to give up on her?
"Forget it!" Situ Ningbing was happy when he saw the look on her face, "In order to prevent you from being able to sleep at night, you can go to the firewood room for me now and chop all the firewood!"
As soon as he heard this, his originally pale smile suddenly turned red, and he showed a bright smile towards Situ Ningbing, "Yes!
"It's better to marry her early. Looking at the cheerful back of the merciful man who was about to wagging his tail, Situ Ningbing whispered almost inaudibly. As long as Yang Yi arrives in Chang'an, she will know who it is, no matter who it is, she will leave when she sees pity!
Glancing around the room, which looked a little empty due to the absence of two big maids, it was time to add some people.
"Bi Yuan" Situ Ningbing said to the only big girl left in the house: "You did a good job this time, you can get double monthly orders this month." Without waiting for Bi Yuan's thanksgiving, Situ Ningbing said again: "Today's incident, the big girl in my house is missing two, and after returning to Longxi, you can pick two to make up for it." ”
Bi Yuan was flattered, and said: "Miss, isn't this appropriate? The slave maid is just a big girl, if it is reasonable to say that you can choose a second-class, third-class and miscellaneous little maid, can you choose a big girl in the house, or is it more suitable for Mother Xue?"
Situ Bingbing smiled and said very casually: "Mother Xue will go to Taiyuan with Su Yun to retire, I will open a small restaurant in the name of Mother Xue near Zhichong Mansion there, arrange the shopkeeper and men for her, and then write a letter to the Duchess of Yue Guo to ask her to take care of Mother Xue's mother and daughter." Taiyuan is the territory of the Wang family, and the Wang family and the Li family are in-laws, so Mrs. Min will not give this face. According to Wang's shopkeeper, the life of Xue's mother and daughter is not a problem, and there is... There are young guards and even officers in the Zhichong Mansion, I just hope that Su Yun can change his temper. ”
Bi Yuan looked at Situ Ningbing in a daze, happy and grateful, although she originally felt that it was wronged to marry a tenant in Zhuangzi with Suyun's talents, but this was the best result, it was better than selling it to someone whose future was uncertain and life and death. Who knew that Miss actually had other arrangements, and she had thought about Mother Xue and Su Yun everywhere! While she was grateful and happy, she was ashamed of Su Yun's actions, she had just been waiting in the house and heard one or two of the movements outside, and Su Yun shouted those few words if she didn't have a side mind, she wouldn't believe it! In this way, Miss could still think about her like this, compared to the two, Su Yun was really a little hateful......
"But didn't Madame just say that she wanted to send Sister Su Yun to Zhuangzi?" After being ashamed, Bi Yuan immediately thought of the feasibility of Situ Ningbing's plan, if Madam insisted on sending Su Yun to Zhuangzi, Miss couldn't disobey it?
Situ Ningbing looked at her with a foolish look, "I don't say it, if you don't say it, who knows?" It is impossible for my mother to go all the way to Longxi to see if I sent Su Yun to Zhuangzi to be a tenant. It's just that she knows later, everyone has been sent to Taiyuan, can she still force me to get people back?"
No matter how stupid Bi Yuan is at this time, she understands that Miss didn't plan to send Su Yun to Zhuangzi at all, and she was just a perfunctory lady. Bi Yuan felt that she had never understood her master, and said that she was very lenient and temperamental, but sometimes her methods of dealing with her subordinates were obviously ruthless and ruthless, and the grandmother was a different matter, but a good person like Sister Yuhe had never made any mistakes, and she died of a sudden illness overnight, and she didn't even see the corpse, could it be that because Mrs. used to treat her as a daughter, Miss couldn't tolerate her? But why was she so kind to Su Yun who coveted her uncle? Bi Yuan really couldn't figure it out, and her face unconsciously showed a distressed expression, and naturally she couldn't escape Situ Ningbing's eyes.
"What other difficulties do you have?" "It's not so difficult to pick a few maids?" Although I don't expect her to be able to compete with Pity, but she can't even do such a little thing!
"I..." Bi Yuan "I" wanted to ask about Yuhe for a long time, but I never dared to say the words, and finally gritted my teeth and mustered up the courage to ask: "I want to ask Miss, why do you want to treat Yuhe like that?" Miss doesn't seem to be such a ruthless person, since she can spare Su Yun, she won't have the same knowledge as herself, it's a big deal to be sent to Zhuangzi or be demoted to the third class like Hongluan to do rough work! If this knot in my heart is not solved, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve my master well in the future, and I am afraid to guess whether I will become the next jade lotus all day long, how can I be loyal to my duties?
Situ Ningbing didn't expect that her embarrassment was for Yuhe, thinking that she was cautious today, begging her to save Su Yun regardless of it, and now asking about Yuhe, it seems that she is also a girl who values affection. Originally, Bi Yuan's temperament was not very suitable for her appetite, so Situ Ningbing paid less attention to her, but now it is a lot more pleasing to look at her. Anyway, Yuhe's matter is not an unspeakable secret, and it doesn't hurt if she knows, so she said simply: "Yuhe is a very good maid, but it's a pity that her master is Concubine De." ”
Bi Yuan's mouth opened wide, and it took a long time to blink her eyes to ease up, and then solemnly said to Situ Ningbing: "The slave knows." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Situ Ningbing and said, "The slave will definitely serve the young lady well in the future, and she will never think about it again!"
