Chapter 51: A slap in the face
There are two housekeepers in Jiaofu, one outside and one inside.
Meng Guang, who is outside the main house, is mainly responsible for entertaining and welcoming distinguished guests, as well as arranging the living life of the old lady. The other is named Hu Wei, who mainly manages the maids and subordinates in the house. The two housekeepers are considered to be the old men in the house, and they have followed Jiao Xiang for many years, and they are still conscientious. However, Hu Wei has a shortcoming, that is, he is lustful. Although Jiao Xiang said it twice, this problem has not been changed, and he always likes to take advantage of the maid on weekdays.
Rose and Little Lotus can be said to be the most beautiful of the maids, and Hu Wei has long been eyeing them. Before, he was also going to take Rose as a concubine and marry Xiao Hexu to his son. But he didn't expect that when a Mu Fan came out halfway, Jiao Xiang actually gave him the two maids together. This made Hu Wei very angry, but he was also helpless. After all, as Jiao Xiang's apprentice, Mu Fan's status is very high.
But I didn't expect that Mu Fan came and went without a trace, and he only stayed for half a day before leaving twice, and the interval was very long. This gave Hu Wei the opportunity to get close to the two, so he went to his wife, and when Mu Fan was away, Rose and Little Lotus returned to his jurisdiction. During this period, he also wanted to take advantage of Rose, but he was sternly refused, and Xiaohe, the girl, also threatened to tell the master and Mu Fan. So Hu Wei has been working harder to call the roses to work these days, and often find trouble with them.
"To tell you the truth, although the master rewarded you to Mu Gongzi, you are still just two cheap maids, don't you have to work hard after he leaves?" Hu Wei sneered and said: "Only by obeying me and my son will you get rid of the identity of subordinates, and life will be better." ”
"You are delusional, we will not agree." Xiaohe glared at Hu Wei and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll see how long you can last." Hu Wei smiled sinisterly, "After cleaning the yard quickly, I will go and wash all the clothes of the subordinates, when will they be washed, and when will they be able to eat." ”
"Rose, Lotus, I'm looking for you." Mu Fan couldn't bear it anymore, stepped into the back garden, and pretended not to know and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
At this time, Hu Wei turned his back to Mu Fan, and Xiao He, who was angry, was holding Rose who was covering her face, and the two girls had tears in their eyes. Seeing Mu Fan suddenly appear, the three of them were shocked. Especially Hu Wei, because he took a leave of absence because of some personal matters yesterday, he only returned to the house before lunch today, and he didn't know that Mu Fan had been here this morning. Hearing Mu Fan's voice, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Mu Gongzi, I don't even know when you came." Hu Wei turned around and asked with a flattering face.
"I'm coming to the house, do I have to inform you in advance?" Mu Fan grimaced, glanced at the long-faced butler in front of him, who was not tall, and came directly to the two of them.
"Childe, you're back." Rose and Xiaohe hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said respectfully.
"Well, I'm back." Mu Fan responded, pretending to be surprised and asked, "What's the matter, you want to cry, who bullied you?" ”
The indignant Xiaohe was just about to speak, and Rose on the side quietly pulled her sleeve. As the old housekeeper of the house, Hu Wei's status is not low. Rose didn't want to cause trouble to Mu Fan because of her own affairs.
"Childe, no one bullied us." Rose endured her grievances and replied softly with her head down.
"Lift your head up." Mu Fan said in a commanding tone.
Rose didn't dare to disobey Mu Fan's words, so she raised her head slightly. Mu Fan looked at the bright red palm print on Rose's left face, as well as the tears in his eyes, and his head was about to explode. took two deep breaths to stop his anger, and said in a cold voice: "My face is swollen and I said that I wasn't bullied, Xiaohe, you say, what's going on!" ”
Seeing that Mu Fan was going to stand up for Rose, Xiaohe was overjoyed, glared at Hu Wei next to him with a puffed mouth, and said, "Childe, it was Steward Hu who deliberately provoked trouble and beat Sister Rose." ”
"Oh?" Only then did Mu Fan turn around, stare at Hu Wei and say coldly: "Steward Hu, did you beat my maid?" ”
"Mu Gongzi, listen to my explanation, there is a reason for it." Hu Wei obviously felt the evil aura emanating from Mu Fan's body, and a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, and he hurriedly bent down and arched his hand, and said quickly: "Madam once said that when you are not in the house, these two maids are still under my control. It's just because they didn't finish their work on time, and they relied on your power to contradict me, so I punished me a little. ”
Madame Wang did say this, but it was Hu Wei who made the first request.
"Damn, this old pervert is really good at talking." Mu Fan muttered in his heart, not to mention that he could hear it clearly at the door, even if he didn't hear the conversation between the two sides, Mu Fan didn't believe that Rose would use his own momentum to confront Hu Wei.
"You're talking nonsense." When Xiaohe heard Hu Wei's words, his angry little face turned red, and he said to Mu Fan: "Childe, this housekeeper Hu asked my sister and me to clean the entire back garden, but only gave me half an hour's effort. We didn't dare to rest for a moment, but it was impossible to finish the cleaning, he just deliberately gave us a difficult problem and then used it to make things difficult. ”
"You're talking nonsense." Hu Wei looked at Mu Fan with an indignant expression, "Mu Gongzi, don't listen to this girl's words, the reason why they haven't finished cleaning is because they are lazy!" ”
Mu Fan couldn't wait to take off his size 42 shoes right now, jumped up and slapped Hu Wei's size 45 face. But he still held back, beating people should be reasonable, no matter what, Hu Wei is the housekeeper of the house, and if the subordinates make mistakes, he does have the right to beat and scold.
"I see." Mu Fan nodded and looked around. Mu Fan has been to the back garden of the house twice, the area is very large, and there are many pebbled paths in the garden, with Rose and Xiaohe, I am afraid it will take at least more than an hour to clean up. They spent half an hour cleaning half of the garden, and they had done their best.
"Manager Hu, since you stipulated that Rose and Xiaohe should be cleaned within half an hour, you have thought carefully about giving such a short time." Mu Fan put his hands behind his back and said in a cold tone: "In this way, half of the back garden has not been cleaned yet, and I will give you half an hour to see if you can complete the task." ”
"This ......" Hu Wei obviously didn't expect Mu Fan to come to this move, and he was stunned on the spot. However, he reacted quickly, came back to his senses and hurriedly bent down to salute, and said, "Mu Gongzi, cleaning the courtyard has always been the work of subordinates. ”
"What's the matter, in front of me, you have become a superior person?" Mu Fan stared at Hu Wei, and finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and said coldly: "Let me tell you Steward Hu, if you can't finish cleaning in half an hour, it means that you are deliberately looking for trouble with the Roses." If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to spare you today. ”
