Xifeng didn't talk nonsense anymore, took out the information on the left side and the time when the daily housekeepers came to her yard to report on the statistics of her housekeeper for half a month, flipped through and pulled out two, Qing'er hurriedly took it and handed it to the third daughter-in-law of Wang and the second daughter-in-law of Hu respectively.

"The two of you have a good performance today, you have never been late, and you are serious about your duties, grandma is aware of everything, please go to the porch and stand under the fire, and warm your body." Qing'er smiled.

Wang's third daughter-in-law and Hu's second daughter-in-law hurriedly took the paper, and when they saw that it listed the time when they came over every day, it was clear and not bad at all. was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Slave and maid thank the second grandmother for being compassionate." When Xifeng raised his head and motioned for them to get up, he hurriedly walked to the porch and stood next to the brazier to roast the fire.

They came early, and after waiting for half an hour for these mothers-in-law to come, their hands and feet were already cold, and they could go to the porch to roast the fire, so they naturally would not be polite. The mother-in-law in the courtyard below was very envious, seeing that Xifeng was very kind to the third daughter-in-law of Wang and the second daughter-in-law of Hu, and then thinking about the ruthlessness of throwing the knife just now, she couldn't help but slander in her heart, this second grandmother Lian's face changed faster than turning a book.

Xifeng took out another piece of information and handed it to Ping'er, Ping'er took two steps forward directly, and pointed out a Tong woman who was at the head of the team at this time: "On the tenth day of October, you were late for two tea times, on October 12, you were a quarter of an hour late, and you left your post without permission before you were locked the night before yesterday, and today you were late for a tea time, what are the reasons for these?" ”

"Slave, slave and maid can't remember." Mrs. Tong glanced at Xifeng: "It's been too long, and the slave really can't remember." ”

Xifeng looked at her, without a trace of expression on her face, only moved her lips slightly and said four words softly: "Don't reply to the question, lie and prevaricate, and slap your mouth ten times." ”

"Second grandmother, second grandmother, slave maid remembered, second grandmother," When the two brides-in-law rolled up their sleeves and passed, the Tong mother-in-law knelt down suddenly.

Xifeng waved his hand to let the two brides-in-law step aside for the time being, and his sharp eyes swept over the housekeepers: "You'd better hurry up and recall the rules of the house." ”

The mothers-in-law couldn't help but complain in their hearts, the masters of Rongguo Mansion used to treat their subordinates extremely kindly, even if they made a mistake, they just said a few words at most, those rules have long been in vain, how can this second grandmother Lian be so serious and act according to the previous rules? It's really unlucky to meet such a housekeeper grandma.

Mrs. Tong didn't dare to get up on her knees on the ground at this time, so she quickly said the reason: "I came late because I slept through it, and the slave and maid had a stomachache the night before yesterday, so I left first." Speaking of which, the voice became quieter and quieter, and Mrs. Tong didn't dare to look up at Xifeng.

Xifeng suddenly said gently: "Every day on an errand, it must be very hard." ”

Mrs. Tong hurriedly shook her head: "It's not hard, it's not hard, the slave doesn't dare to complain." ”

"If it's not hard, then why did you sleep? It doesn't seem to take me seriously. Although Xifeng was laughing, his tone was extremely gloomy.

The mother-in-law hurriedly kowtowed: "Grandma Mingjian, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the slaves and maids sometimes can't get up." ”

"Looks like I should give you a good rest." Xifeng looked at her.

The mother-in-law only felt cold sweat: "The slave will not dare in the future." ”

"You left your post privately the night before yesterday when you had a stomachache, but who did you go back to?" Xifeng asked again.

"Slave maid...... No, I begged my grandmother to see it, the situation was really urgent at that time, and the slave maid was ...... I didn't have time to reply. ”

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin," Xifeng smiled again, and took out another piece of paper and handed it to Ping'er: "Read." ”

"On the ninth night of the first day of October, someone invited you to eat wine, on the evening of the 11th day you played cards with Fei Pozi and others, and on the night before yesterday, you played cards and ate wine with Wang Erbao's daughter-in-law, Wang Shanbao's daughter-in-law, and Zhang's daughter-in-law, and lost 80 yuan." Ping'er finished reading it quickly.

Although it was winter, but Mrs. Tong was sweating outside, wanting to defend but not knowing where to justify, every word was said very right, and then looking at the leisurely Xifeng above, Mrs. Tong fell to the ground: "The slave knows that she is wrong, please ask the second grandmother Lian to forgive the slave and the maid this time." ”

Xifeng sneered: "I can't even speak, what do you mean to spare you this time?" You're the same thing? I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and I will be rewarded for doing well, and I will be punished for not doing well. How can you let me spare you? What credit do you have? ”

Mrs. Tong has begun to cry, how can she have any credit?

"Come on, drag it down to serve in the family law." Xifeng snorted coldly: "Lie and deceive the master, slap your mouth twenty; If he leaves his post without permission, he will drink and gamble for money, and he will be punished with 30 rods; If he did not do his job effectively, he was removed from his position as a steward. After speaking, the bride-in-law dragged Mrs. Tong to the side and opened her mouth first and then scolded her.

While Mrs. Tong was beaten, Xifeng was not idle, and continued to interrogate others one by one. Except for the third daughter-in-law of Wang and the second daughter-in-law of Hu, none of these people can escape the punishment of the palm and the cane, and the things they have committed have been turned out by Xifeng, and they are read out by Qing'er Cui'er and Xi'er Ping'er in turn, even if they are clever and can't tell the difference. Even if someone wanted to run away to move the rescuers, but when they thought of the kung fu that Xifeng showed when he threw the flying knife, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, so he just turned around and went out to find Mrs. Xing. If everyone sues Xifeng in front of Mrs. Xing together, if they want to have this serious mother-in-law in charge, Xifeng will not be able to please him.

Xifeng had seen a few beaten mothers-in-law peeking at her viciously, and vaguely heard what they said Mrs. Xing, Xifeng looked at them again, and after punishing one person, she pointed to one of the mothers-in-law, and said to her mother-in-law: "Throw her out of the door, don't get in the way of my eyes here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other mothers-in-law who were huddled with her hurriedly gave her a look and whispered: "Go find your wife quickly." The man nodded slightly, and then was picked up by the mother-in-law and thrown out of the door, with a bang, the door was closed, and Xifeng continued to interrogate and punish one by one.

After a while, Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Fei were tried. These are the last two people.

As soon as Xifeng pulled out the paper, before handing it to the eldest girl, Wang Shanbao's family shouted in horror: "Second grandmother, beg the second grandmother to spare me, I don't dare anymore." And I'm my wife's dowry, and if you want to punish me, you have to ask your wife first. ”

"Do you think your wife will protect you?" Xifeng asked directly.

"Anyway, the second grandmother has to ask my wife to punish me, and I am my wife's dowry." Wang Shanbao said with a hard mouth, someone was already thrown out just now, and he should go back to find Mrs. Xing. Xifeng is such an arrogant housekeeper who handles the big house, Mrs. Xing will definitely not sit idly by.

"Even if my wife comes, you won't be able to escape." Xifeng sneered.

"What's the matter today, early in the morning, the ghost is crying wolf." As soon as Xifeng's words fell, the door was opened, and Mrs. Xing and the maid and the maid had already crossed the threshold and walked towards Xifeng.

Xifeng smiled and got up and walked to the porch to salute Mrs. Xing: "My daughter-in-law has seen Mrs. Xing. ”

"Get up, hum, I can't be your courtesy, you are a serious housekeeper grandmother, you can dispose of whoever you want, even my companion can be directly beaten." Mrs. Xing was already sitting on the throne of Xifeng Fangcai, and patted a few times: "What else do you dare not dare?" Do you still have my wife in your eyes? ”

"My wife said that she wished for her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law was worried about her wife." Xifeng was not afraid of Mrs. Xing at all, and said bluntly: "The daughter-in-law is the wife's serious daughter-in-law, but the two of them don't take the daughter-in-law in their eyes at all. Mrs. has always been kind to her daughter-in-law, how can she look down on her daughter-in-law, and they act like this, isn't it discrediting their wife? The daughter-in-law will not tolerate them doing things to discredit the wife under any circumstances. ”

Mrs. Xing was instigated by the beaten mother-in-law, so she directly changed her clothes and came directly to Xifeng, but she didn't expect that it was her companion who gave Xifeng no face first, and she was a little embarrassed at this time, but she is an elder in the end, how can she admit her mistakes in front of Xifeng so easily?

"Naturally, they are also wrong, but is your punishment too heavy? In the end, they are my companions, and they have been with me for so many years, daughter-in-law, you will look at my face and spare them. "Mrs. Xing still wants to intercede.

"Even if she stole her wife's jewelry?" Xifeng didn't want to talk to her more.

"What did you say!" Mrs. Xing has always been stingy and does not have many jewelry, and her mother's family is shabby, how can she tolerate someone stealing her things, so she hurriedly asked the maid to move a stool for Xifeng, took Xifeng's hand and asked eagerly: "What did you say she stole my jewelry?" ”

"How many times has my wife lost her jewelry, but she never doubted it?" Xifeng asked rhetorically: "It's not just Wang Shanbao's family, but also Mrs. Fei, if the wife doesn't believe it, send someone to search their residence now, and there will be something to be found." Moreover, the daughter-in-law wants to sue you, although the two of them have deep trust in you, they have not said bad things about you behind their backs, saying that you are stingy, iron rooster, small and uninformed, and far worse than the second wife, and the old lady likes it all by herself, and they also said a lot of more ugly things, and the daughter-in-law is really difficult to say. If the wife doesn't believe in this matter, she can send someone to quietly ask other mothers-in-law, and she can ask those five or six-year-old children in the house who have not yet come in. What do they say when they eat, drink, and gamble? The wife asked her daughter-in-law to spare them, how big of a mind does the daughter-in-law have to be able to tolerate such a betrayer? They can steal Mrs.'s jewelry and slander Mrs. now, and they can steal our Rongguo Mansion's property and slander our Rongguo Mansion in the future. Madam, the lord is the eldest son of the lord. Second Master Lian is now getting more and more promising. "The implication, don't ask who lives in Rongxi Hall now, Rongguo Mansion will definitely be a big house in the future.

After Xifeng finished speaking, Mrs. Xing's face darkened, and she slapped it on a few times: "How can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable." These bastards! ”

Looking at Xifeng again, Mrs. Xing had changed her face, took Xifeng's hand and patted it lightly: "Good daughter-in-law, you did the right thing." Just now I was blinded by these bastard things, these bastard betrayal things, you must take care of them. ”

Xifeng patted Mrs. Xing's hand in turn: "Madam, please take a look, these people, none of the daughter-in-law will spare any of them, and the daughter-in-law must let them know the price of not taking you seriously." You just sit and watch how your daughter-in-law vents your breath. ”

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she just sat down. The maid had already moved another chair and placed it next to Mrs. Xing, Xifeng sat down, and asked Ping'er to read the accusations of Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Fei's family that she had collected in the past half a month: chewing her tongue behind her back and saying bad things about Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing, stealing the master's property and silver, using the name of Rongguo Mansion to forcibly buy and sell dozens of acres of farm's fertile land at a low price outside, taking disguise in front of the housekeeper's grandmother, drinking and gambling money, and leaving her post without permission.

After Ping'er finished reading, Xifeng directly asked Mama Qian to take eight people to search for things in their residences, and at the same time asked her mother-in-law to give each of them thirty slaps and fifty canes. Xifeng also deliberately gave her mother-in-law a look, and her mother-in-law understood, so she didn't use rags to block the mouths of the two people, intending to deter Mrs. Xing.

When she slapped her mouth, Mrs. Xing could still sit still, but when she saw that Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Fei were pressed to the stool one after another, and the executed mother-in-law took a stick and beat her buttocks hard, listening to their heart-rending howls, Mrs. Xing couldn't sit still anyway. looked at Xifeng again, but found that Xifeng's face was as usual, and he picked up the teacup and tasted it.

Mrs. Xing couldn't understand, Xifeng was only fourteen or fifteen years old, why wasn't she afraid?

Bi Xifeng also smiled and said to Mrs. Xing: "Mrs., please drink tea, this is the Pu'er sent by my mother's aunt, you can still eat it, if you like it, I will send a pack to you." ”

"It's good, it's good," Mrs. Xing tried to pull out a smile, not wanting to lose too many battles in front of Xifeng: "Daughter-in-law, you can keep it for yourself." ”

Xifeng had already smiled and instructed Qing'er: "Go and get a bag for Mrs. to carry." ”

"Daughter-in-law, this board has also been beaten, what are you going to do next?" Where did Mrs. Xing drink tea?

"The rest of those who neglected their duties have been removed from their positions as stewards, and these two people and several other evil slaves are naturally going to be sent to the official," Xifeng saw what Mrs. Xing wanted to say again, and hurriedly gagged her with words: "Madam, you must know that they and their families have done bad things outside in the name of our Rongguo Mansion, and they will be held accountable in the future, but they will drag us down, like such evil slaves, they can't be covered." ”

"It's up to my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xing's hands trembled: "But they are all my dowries, will they?" ”

"Mrs. rest assured, what they are doing is not assigned by Mrs., Jingzhao Mansion Yin will handle the case impartially. There are fewer people around you to serve, and your daughter-in-law will look for someone to pick a few of them for you that are always available. ”

"It's good to be honest, but don't make it too pretty." Mrs. Xing emphasized.

Xifeng naturally understood what the reason was, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Mrs. just wait for the good news from her daughter-in-law." ”

"Okay, good, daughter-in-law, you are a good one, I don't worry about you doing things." Mrs. Xing patted Xifeng's hand again, and then looked at the two mothers-in-law who were beaten to death, and Mrs. Xing said again: "Daughter-in-law still has something to do here, I'll go back first." ”

"I don't have to." Seeing that Xifeng was about to get up, Mrs. Xing hurriedly said again, and left directly with a few maids.

That Wang Shanbao's family and Fei Pozi and others only felt five thunders, this second grandmother Lian didn't just punish them at all, she was going to uproot them! I have to send it to the official, how can this be good?

Xifeng will not give them a chance to open their mouths at all, as soon as Mrs. Xing leaves, she will let people shut their mouths, but all those who steal will be thrown to Jing Zhaoyin, and all those who drink and gamble will be sold directly. When the old lady knew, Xifeng had already been disposed of.

The old lady almost vomited blood in anger, and directly asked Xifeng to be reprimanded: "Those are all old people who are used to our family, why did you sell them so hastily, and you are a big family when you sell them?" ”

Xifeng didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly showed the old lady all the accusations that they had fingerprints on. If she didn't sell all the families of those mothers-in-law, would she have to wait for those people to make a stumbling block for her in the house? She's not stupid!

The old lady seemed to be in disbelief: "How is this possible? Those are all old people we are used to, how can they drink and gamble and scold us behind our backs, and say that my Baoyu is a perverted embryo, and that I am partial and confused? ”

Xifeng didn't comfort her, but said: "I'm afraid it's because the master in the house is too kind that he has raised the temper of these people." Who would dare to use this kind of minion? Who can rest assured that it is used? Maybe you're going to do something against your lord at any point, Ancestor, these people really don't deserve your pity. Brother Bao usually likes to eat the rouge on the maid's mouth, and these people say that he is a perverted embryo, and it is definitely not a good thing when he grows up. Ancestor, let's take a look at Brother Bao first, he was said like this at a young age, how can he stand it. "If you have time to feel sorry for the minions, old lady, you might as well take care of Baoyu.

"Yes, yes, how can my Baoyu be wronged like this, Feng girl, you did the right thing!" The old lady didn't pursue Xifeng's unauthorized betrayal of slaves.

Xifeng smiled and saluted and left, and then asked Yazi to come, and took Qian Mama and others to choose twenty maids and maids. Then Mama Qian and Zhao'er trained for two months before being assigned to various positions one by one. In this way, the great exchange of blood of the servants of the big house came to an end. Those evil servants who were sent to the yamen, because of Wang Ziteng's special care, did not get any benefits, and Wang Ziteng felt sorry for Xifeng, and handled it cleanly, and did not let anything have anything to do with the big house.

Since then, up and down the big house, only Xifeng Jia Lian does not know Mrs. Jia Xing. Although the originally favored little housekeeper around Jia Yu was also sold out by Xifeng, but those people also scolded Jia Yu behind their backs for saying "shameless old rascal", Jia Yu didn't get angry with Xifeng, and Xifeng was close to the husband and wife everywhere, and transferred a few people from elsewhere to serve him, Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing felt that this daughter-in-law was very caring. Xifeng has been married to Jiafu for less than two months, and Dafang is already completely under her control. If Jia Yu did something bad, Xifeng would know it as soon as possible.
