Chapter 56: The So-Called Slave
The morning air on Zhuangzi is very fresh. www.biquge.info After eating a fairly rich breakfast, Jia Lian was excited about what he was going to do today.
Because it was already dark when they arrived at Zhuangzi last night, they now had time to take a closer look at the place.
They live in a two-entry house, probably because of the relationship in the Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is quite atmospheric but very exquisite.
It can also be seen that Wang Zhuangtou also takes good care of this mansion on weekdays, but Zhou Muqing knows that it is probably because they live in this mansion.
Although the house was re-cleaned and replaced with a new bedding when they came yesterday, it could not hide the traces of people living in it.
It stands to reason that even if the master's family has not been here for 20 years, as a subordinate, he cannot live in the master's house, but must live in a small courtyard specially built for his subordinate.
Wang Zhuangtou and they just moved in, if they didn't make a ghost, they wouldn't believe it when they killed Zhou Muqing. Although they have done a cover-up, how can the places they have lived and those they have not lived in be covered up with a cover-up?
Everyone knows what to do today, and no one said that they would go for a casual walk in Zhuangzi early in the morning, and the people brought by Jia Lian were also early in the morning, and they consciously waited for instructions in the courtyard.
Zhou Muqing took the towel handed by the maid in his hand and wiped his face, and asked the little girl very casually.
"You are the one who serves in this Zhuangzi, but how long have you been here?
The little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she is very handsome and good-looking, she also ignores Zhou Muqing's questions, and she seems to dislike Zhou Muqing's appearance very much.
After a long time, she replied, "If you go back to the girl, the slave maid is the daughter of Wang Zhuangtou, and she has been serving here since she came out. ”
Zhou Muqing always felt that the little girl's calm tone seemed to be hiding some gnashing of teeth. The long journey yesterday was also very tiring, and I didn't have time to call Wang Zhuangtou to ask the people who came to serve him.
After listening to the little girl's words, Zhou Muqing's thoughts returned, and he glanced at the little girl obliquely with the will of heaven, and then looked at the furnishings in this room, Zhou Muqing only felt funny for a while.
The room where I live now is clearly the boudoir of a boudoir woman, and it must have been for the young lady of the main family to live in, but now it has become the place where the daughter of Wang Zhuangtou lives.
This time, he and the others came over without prior notice, thinking that Wang Zhuangtou was not prepared, so he had to vacate the place where he lives now.
This little girl seemed to be very dissatisfied with others occupying her room, and she really regarded this Zhuangzi as her own place, but Zhou Muqing smiled coldly in her heart.
"Bai Shao, go and see if the young master is up, Second Brother Lian is already waiting in the courtyard, let the young master not sleep lazy, there is still business to do today!"
Bai Shao listened to Zhou Muqing's words, hurriedly bowed, and walked out, there is indeed something troublesome to do today, but you can't let some irrelevant people disturb it.
When Zhou Muqing cleaned up and took this little girl and Ziyuan to the courtyard, the people in the courtyard, whether they were Jia Lian and the people they brought over, or the people who were the head of Wang Zhuang in this Zhuangzi, were already waiting in the courtyard.
Together, there are probably forty or fifty of these people, but fortunately, this yard is quite large, and it does not seem crowded when so many people are crowded together.
Everyone was divided into two or three waves, each occupying a corner, and when they saw Zhou Muqing coming over, they all saluted under the leadership of Wang Zhuangtou.
Zhou Muqing still knew about cutting the mess with a quick knife, and since he had already found out Wang Zhuangtou's crimes, Zhou Muqing didn't plan to say more to him, so he sat down directly next to the chair next to Jia Lian and Zhou Mufeng.
According to the ancients, the affairs of the inner house still have to be managed by women, Jia Lian except to bring people to shock the scene, Zhou Muqing didn't expect Jia Lian to do anything now, so he spoke directly.
"Okay, everyone has seen it, you should know that I am the owner of this house, now I ask you, which of you have signed the deed to serve in this house, and which ones have not?"
Regarding Zhou Muqing's questioning, except for the people brought by Jia Lian, the people in this Zhuangzi were all looking at each other and whispering, and they all looked at the first few people in Wang Zhuang.
Although Wang Zhuangtou didn't know what Zhou Muqing meant by asking, he was quite proud in his heart when he looked at the way the people behaved.
I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I have long been in my own hands, so where can any girl and young lady command them at will?
"What are you all arguing about? Didn't you hear the girl ask you? Are you all dumb?"
After listening to Wang Zhuangtou's words, everyone immediately quarreled, and the scene seemed noisy. Zhou Muqing glanced at Aster.
Zi Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Okay, don't make any noise, now the people on the Zhuangzi stand on the left side of the deed, and those who don't sign the deed stand on the right, and the girl is still waiting to give you a reward." ”
When everyone heard that the girl of the main family was going to reward themselves and others, they immediately quieted down, looked around at each other's left and right, and soon stood up again and right. Obviously, there were only five or six people on the left who had signed the deed of sale, and there were more than a dozen on the other side.
Seeing this, the group of people in Rongguo Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, it is easy to deal with fewer people, if there are more people, they don't know if they are enough.
It was originally a matter that had been discussed a long time ago, and Ziyuan, as Zhou Muqing's eldest maid, said it directly to Wang Zhuangtou at this time.
"Wang Zhuangtou, the girl has seen that you have worked hard in Zhuangzi over the years, but she wants to reward you, but we only plan to reward these people who have signed the deed. ……”
Wang Zhuang looked at Zhou Muqing and their style, but at this time, he was full of joy, thinking that he had really fooled Zhou Muqing and them.
Zhou Muqing did send people to visit the Zhuangzi last night, but so what? He has been in the Zhuangzi for more than 20 years, and who dares to oppose it if he has spoken to the public.
"Didn't you hear what the girl said? The girl is the master of this village, and she can do whatever she wants you to do. As for those of you who haven't signed the deed, let's take a day off and go back today. ”
These people who did not sign the deed were originally tenants in Zhuangzi, and they came to work in Wang Zhuangtou's house to earn a little pocket money.
It's just that they all looked at the few people who signed the deed of sale with envy, looking at the style of these girls and young masters, there must be a lot of silver taels rewarded this time, and they are even more envious and jealous of these people, who told themselves and others to be reluctant to sign this deed of sale?
