Chapter 25: Deterrence

"Girl, the slave and maid remember, in the future, the slave and maid will ask Bai Zhi more about everything, as long as the girl does not dislike the slave and maid, the slave and maid will definitely stay by the girl's side for the rest of her life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Bai Lan cried and laughed, but asked Ji Nianjin to "flutter" and have fun.

"Okay, wipe your tears, you're a big girl, you should show some momentum, you cry at every turn, that's not good. Bai Zhi is alone outside, you follow me to take a look. ”

Ji Nianjin straightened out the clothes she was carrying, let Bai Lan open the curtains, went out, and stood under the eaves with an unhappy expression.

A few maids and women who were crying and shouting wronged, when they saw Ji Nianjin coming out, they quickly broke free from the hands of those strong mothers-in-law, and knelt down in front of the verandah.

"Girl, the slaves and maids are wronged, you are good, don't drive the slaves out."

"Girl, those words were all said by the slave's sister, she also heard it from the Tingxue Pavilion, the slave and the maid have not done anything to be sorry for the girl, girl, please, don't drive the slave out."

Among these people, the one who cried the most was the little maid named Chun Tao in the morning, with a handful of tears and a handful of snot, she was afraid and aggrieved, and kept kowtowing.

The more Ji Nianjin listened, the more frowning she became, the maid in the hibiscus courtyard was so unruly, shouting like this, even if Ji Nianjin did the right thing and asked outsiders to see it, they would think that Ji Nianjin was a ruthless and vicious master.

"Angelica Bai!"

Ji Nianjin only shouted Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi understood, took out a handkerchief from her waist, motioned to the two mothers-in-law to grab Chun Tao, and quickly stuffed the handkerchief into Chun Tao's mouth.

Chun Tao whimpered and wanted to resist, but the two mothers-in-law held it down desperately.

"Your name is Chun Tao? If you stop screaming like Fang Cai, I will tell Bai Zhi to loosen the veil from your mouth, can you do it? ”

Ji Nianjin asked, not seeing any look on her face.

Chun Tao nodded desperately, her face full of panic.

"Chun Tao, you don't have to be afraid, this is my grandmother's decision, today out of my hibiscus courtyard, I think, you can still be on an errand in the house, but I can't keep you in this hibiscus courtyard."

After Ji Nianjin finished speaking, she motioned for Bai Zhi to step forward and let go of the veil in Chun Tao's mouth.

As soon as it was released, Chun Tao said to Ji Nianjin with teary eyes:

"Girl, the slave knows that she is wrong, please let the girl spare me this time, and beg the girl to keep the slave and maid."

"Chun Tao, the girl has already said it, this is what the old lady meant, and the girl has no choice, so you can do it yourself."

Bai Zhi stood in front of Chun Tao and motioned to the two mothers-in-law to take Chun Tao away.

A mother-in-law dressed in a dark gray gown and neatly cleaned up the floor stepped forward, bowed to Ji Nianjin, and said:

"Girl, the old slave will take them away."

This mother-in-law, Ji Nianjin recognized, it was a housekeeper mother in Yaoxi Hall, and her husband's surname was Liu.

"Mother Liu, it's hard work, they served me after all, and I ask Mother Liu to be tolerant. Bai Zhi, thank you Mother Liu for me. ”

"The second girl is polite, these are the duties of the slaves."

Mother Liu didn't say anything, nodded behind her, and several mothers-in-law each escorted a few people and walked towards the gate of the Hibiscus Courtyard.

Those mothers-in-law and maids who were detained, seeing this scene, knew that they really had no hope of continuing to stay in the hibiscus courtyard.

Chun Tao turned back step by step, and a warm sun on the winter afternoon happened to shine on Ji Nianjin's body, so that she couldn't see Ji Nianjin's expression standing under the eaves porch, but the look revealed in Ji Nianjin's eyes suddenly made Chun Tao a little scared.

When Liu's mother left the hibiscus courtyard with people, Ji Nianjin ordered someone to close the courtyard door, and the rest of the maids and women were still standing in the courtyard and did not disperse.

"Bai Zhi, are all the people in the courtyard here?"

Because Ji Nianjin is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, in addition to the two big maids, there are four second-class, four third-class, plus a few rough maids, plus a few rough maids, and a few rough mothers-in-law, and the small courtyard is also full.

Seeing that Ji Nianjin didn't tell them to disperse, everyone knew that Ji Nianjin had something to say, so they all held their breath and didn't dare to be careless.

The few who were just kicked out, they already knew the reason, and they would be honest, telling Ji Nianjin not to be angry with them.

"Back girl, it's all here."

Bai Zhi stood behind Ji Nianjin, one left and one right with Bai Lan, staring at the people in the courtyard without blinking.

Ji Nianjin nodded, she came down from the verandah, stood very close to everyone, and didn't speak, just looked at them one by one.

These maids are all the rules in the Hou Mansion, and the Li family assigned the discipline of these maids to a mother surnamed Shan next to him, and those who were assigned to the hibiscus courtyard were also arranged by Li's assigned mother.

It's ridiculous to say that before the Mei family was pregnant, although she held the power of the Hou Mansion, but the big and small things in this mansion, the Mei family asked the Li family, and everything must be done according to what the Li family said.

Therefore, Ji Nianjin didn't trust the people in this courtyard.

She looked over one by one, some of them were timid, they didn't dare to meet her gaze directly, and they lowered their heads one after another, while some of them were bold, although their faces were respectful, but those eyes looked away.

For a while, only the sound of people's breathing could be heard in the hibiscus courtyard.

Ji Nianjin looked around, and then returned to the eaves.

"I believe you already know what those people who were kicked out just now are why, I have a few requirements here, you can do it, naturally stay, if you can't do it, the gate is there, please take care of yourself. Think about it, and when I'm done, you'll reply to me. ”

Everyone looked up one after another, not knowing what Ji Nianjin was going to say, but no one dared to speak, but it was quiet.

"First, I have only one request for being an errand in my hibiscus courtyard, that is, to be sincere, I don't care where you were on an errand before, and who instructed you, as long as you enter my hibiscus courtyard, then your master is now me, once I am known, if any of you turn his back on his master, this fate will not be like those people just now.

Second, what happened in this hibiscus courtyard, no matter how big or small, I hope that it will never flow out of this gate of the hibiscus courtyard, you remember!

Thirdly, when you go out of the gate of the Hibiscus Temple, if you hear anything outside about the Hibiscus Courtyard or the big house, no matter how big or small, report it.

As long as you do these three things, you should be rewarded with a lot, and if I know that you have violated any of them, I don't want to see you in the Hou Mansion in the future. ”

Ji Nianjin's voice was cold, making these maids tremble, they looked at Ji Nianjin in surprise, how did this cowardly second girl who was praised by everyone in the Hou Mansion become different?

"I'm done, as long as you do what I said, in the future, there will be a good life for you in this Hou Mansion, otherwise, I don't care if you are born in a family or bought it from outside, you will all be thrown out! I can let my grandmother get rid of those broken mouths today, and tomorrow I can let my grandmother get you out, if you are lucky, you might as well try it! ”

Ji Nianjin was intimidated, she understood that it was impossible to ask them to remember and do it all at once, but she just wanted such an effect, from now on, she wanted no one in this Hou Mansion to look down on her anymore!
