58. Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys
Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes slightly, "You say." โ
Tao Zhimo smiled and said calmly: "Zhimo wants to ask, Mama Zeng is her mother's dowry ring, and before her mother speaks, she will reprimand Zhimo first, is this considered a crime?"
"The slave knows her mistake!" Mama Zeng is worthy of being trained in this deep house, as soon as Tao Zhimo's words fell, she immediately "pounced" and knelt down to ask for guilt, "The old slave should not overstep, please punish Mrs."
Mrs. Tao pursed her lips and was silent, Mama Zeng, as her confidant, was used to commanding in front of her subordinates, and the subordinates did not dare to say much, so she was used to it. Now that she asked like this, she had nothing to say.
"Please Madame punish the old slave!" Mama Zeng saw Mrs. Tao's slightly stunned face, and kowtowed her head in a hurry.
"That's it," Madame Tao waved her hand to get her up, "for the sake of you and me for many years, you should pay attention to it in the future." โ
Tao Zhimo smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth, and the two of them sang and worked together very well.
Mama Zeng had just gotten up, but she heard Tao Zhimo's crisp voice sounding, "Wait!"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Tao's face was slightly displeased, what if she was just protecting her short? But a mere concubine, who has been wandering outside for three years, what else do you want!
Mama Zeng was still kneeling on the ground, so she felt a chill behind her back, turned her head sideways and glanced at Tao Zhimo, and quickly withdrew her gaze. This dead girl really doesn't seem to be an easy master. Thinking that she is in the backyard, her status is only below Mrs. and Miss Seven, and even those aunts have to give her a little thin noodles. Hmph, let's see how she cleans her up then!
Tao Zhimo is neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "Although Zhimo is a concubine, she is also a master." Just now, Mama Zeng 'taught' Weaving Mo like that, which made Weaving Mo a little unclear about the difference between master and servant in the house. Or is it as Mama Zeng said, please ask a teaching Mama to 'teach' the weaving foam? Thinking about being away from home for three years, the rules in the house have changed a lot. lest Weaving Mo do something wrong one day, and be taught by which grandmother. โ
When Mama Zeng heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Tao Zhimo a few times, crying and shouting: "The old body is guilty! The old body is a slave, how dare you teach the sixth lady!" Tao Zhimo gave her this hat, she can't afford it. It's just that although her voice cried miserably, how could there be a trace of panic on her face?
After she finished crying, Tao Zhimo ignored her, and all of a sudden, the room was a little quiet.
Mama Zeng quickly glanced at Mrs. Tao on the seat, and Mrs. Tao's face was a little cold.
This Mama Zeng has been by her side for so many years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen?
Mama Zeng gritted her teeth, slapped herself twice, and kowtowed again and again, "The old man is guilty!
Mrs. Tao waved her hand, "Housekeeper, take Mama Zeng down and fine her for half a year." After Mrs. Tao finished speaking, she saw Tao Zhimo staring straight at her, as if she was still waiting for her to speak, so she didn't have a good breath, "Confinement for another three days." โ
"But," Tao Zhimo's face was puzzled, "How can Zhimo remember, for the minions who have committed the following crimes, is it ten or twenty boards in the family law?
Tao Lingfeng was named inexplicably, and only coughed lightly, "The light ones are ten big boards, and the heavy ones are twenty big boards." โ
"Oooh. Tao Zhimo nodded as if suddenly realized, and looked at Mrs. Tao on the seat, she didn't say anything to punish her, just watched quietly.
Mrs. Tao's face was a little gloomy, and after a pause, she said, "Nian Zeng's first offense, just hit ten boards." โ
"Yes. The housekeeper on the side walked up and gently pressed Grandma Zeng's shoulder.
Mama Zeng's heart trembled, but she was a little lucky, she has been by Mrs. since she was a child, Mrs. can't really beat her, right?
"Mother is not favoritism, and Zhimo admires it in her heart. Tao Zhimo continued, "You should be punished in front of the people, otherwise the people in the courtyard will have no rules." When Mama Zeng heard this, her legs were weak, and she blinked at Tao Lingfeng with black and white fawn eyes, "Right, big brother?"
Tao Lingfeng lay down again and touched his nose, "Yes, my mother has always had clear rewards and punishments. After pondering for a while, he instructed the butler, "Execution in the backyard." "The sixth sister has just come back, and this dismount must help her, otherwise I am afraid that she will not be able to stand in a stable position in the house in the future.
Before the sixth sister entered the mansion, the prince also gave him a few words of understatement, so that he didn't have to worry too much. Also, after all, his current identity is different from what he used to be, and he doesn't have to focus on his mother in everything. He suddenly had an illusion, as if the prince valued him so much so that he could support his sixth sister more confidently in the mansion.
The housekeeper answered, and dragged Mama Zeng, who was shrunk like an old hen, down in three or two strokes.
Mrs. Tao suddenly gasped, her original intention was just to let Zeng Mama take her to the hall for punishment, and she called the people outside to listen, who knew that this Tao Zhimo was so aggressive, and what made her even more angry was that this usually docile Tao Lingfeng actually dared to disobey her!
It is up to the owner to beat the dog! When the execution is carried out in the backyard, it is shown to all the people in the backyard. Mama Zeng has been in the house with her for nearly 20 years, when has she ever suffered such a grievance? She has lost face so much today, making her think that she can still gain a foothold among the subordinates? Where is this Mama Zeng? This is clearly to slap her in the face!
Although Mrs. Tao was angry in her heart, she did not show it on her face, but picked up the teacup without saying a word, but after drinking two sips of tea, the โกโก on her face fell off a lot, revealing deep nasolabial folds.
Tao Zhimo lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Suddenly, there was some silence in the room, and at this time, Tao Zhijin, who had been sitting quietly, opened her mouth softly, and her voice was like a warbler's cry, "I heard that the sixth sister has lived in a secluded valley with the granddaughter of that Luo Shen Doctor in the past three years?" She deliberately bit the word "Yan", just to remind Tao Zhimo to recognize her identity, she is just a humble concubine, she is the real and only concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Tao Zhimo looked at her, didn't seem to notice the word she deliberately bit down, and smiled calmly, "Exactly." โ
At this time, Tao Lingfeng said at the right time: "Miss Luo and the others have been waiting in the side hall for a long time, mother, do you think you can let them in?" His expression was natural, as if nothing had happened just now.
Mrs. Tao had already straightened out her anger at this time, and said gently: "How can you slack off the visitors, just invite them in quickly." She said calmly and decently, as if she had always been the graceful and luxurious lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After a while, Luo Yaosi, Lian Tong and Cai Wei's mother and daughter came in under the leadership of Yahuan. Luo Yaosi took a step forward and took the lead in blessing his body, "Luo Yaosi, the folk girl, I have seen Mrs. Tao." The four people behind her also followed Fushen, but they hung their heads and said nothing.
Mrs. Tao looked at her, and saw that this Luo Yaosi had a beautiful face, a light posture, and a lot of everyone's spirit, and suddenly there was a bit of appreciation in her eyes, "Get up." โ
In fact, this Luo Yaosi, as Luo Huatuo's granddaughter, is also famous, and everyone is extremely polite to people who have medical skills, so maybe they will get sick one day?
"Mrs. Xie. Luo Yaosi got up generously, and the few people behind her also stood up.
"Yo, it's still a twin, and it looks like a Peugeot. Mrs. Tao first noticed the two sisters, they looked like Yahuan, but they didn't look like them.
"Madame has won the prize. The two girls said in unison.
Luo Yaosi said with a smile, "The two sisters have grown up with me since they were children, and in the past few years that Miss Six has been in the valley, grandpa has never treated her badly, so that my sister Duyu has been waiting for her, and left an ignorant Cai Wei for me." โ
When Mrs. Tao heard this, the smile on her face became a little unnatural.
Luo Yaosi's words have a lot of information. First, these two sisters are from her valley, and they have grown up together since childhood, and their status is not low, you can't treat them as ordinary maids; Whoever can win Luo Huatuo's favor, you can't bully her in the future.
Luo Yaosi continued, "I was thinking, Miss Six is still recuperating now, and Twilight Yu grew up in the valley since she was a child, and she also knows a little about medicine, so she will continue to be by Miss Six's side and have a care." What does Mrs. Tao think?"
Mrs. Tao quickly returned a proper smile on her face, "Very good," and looked at the sisters with admiration, "I will ask the girl to take care of her in the future." She couldn't tell who was Twilight and who was Caiwei, and her eyes fell on the two of them.
"Twilight rain doesn't dare. Twilight Yu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and she did not show a sincere and fearful look to Mrs. Tao's approachable and even condescending kind words, but calmly responded to it. Tao Zhimo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and today's appearance of twilight rain was enough to establish the status of the two sisters in the mansion in the future.
Mrs. Tao's face did not change in response to Twilight Rain, and she looked at a small dot behind her. This little girl seems to be a little nervous, this, it should be a little girl, right?
Mrs. Tao had a hint of joy in her heart, heh, are you allowed to attack my people? But a concubine who can't get on the stage, it's still a little tender to fight with her.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yaosi smiled again, "This is my little junior sister, her name is Mercy Pupil, she was abandoned by her family in the wilderness when she was a baby, my grandfather picked her up, and saw that she was clever, so he accepted her as an apprentice." โ
Mrs. Tao smiled a little awkwardly, and said, "Miss Pity Pupil is indeed born smart and cute, and she is very likable. After speaking, he beckoned to her cordially, "Come here." โ
