Su Qianlin's face was cold, what did Su Qianling mean by this, the maid next to you didn't want to come to me, she clearly looked down on me, from the side of the concubine to the side of the scholar, no one would be happy, didn't this embarrass her in public?

A pair of eyes glared at Qiu Tao fiercely, Su Qianlin couldn't help but scold Qiu Tao for being a fool, but there was a little grievance on her face, she turned sideways to Su Qianling, and said: "Third sister doesn't need to be allocated to me, there are enough people in this courtyard, and my mother also asks Sister Huancai to come over from time to time, so I don't need to let Qiu Tao come over again." ”

Listening to Su Qianling's words, Su Qianlin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that she shouldn't have noticed that Qiu Tao had a problem, it's just that the people sent by her mother are all big girls, you give me a second-class maid, do you think I will be rare?

The corners of Su Qianling's lips were raised, a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "After all, Huancai is the big girl by my mother's side, and she always comes to serve you, it is inevitable that there will be inconveniences, Qiu Tao is a safe one, even if you don't confirm it, let her take good care of you for me during this time, I can feel more comfortable in my heart, so don't push it." ”

While speaking, Su Qianling couldn't help but sigh lightly, as if she had just remembered something, and said: "By the way, I have an old mountain ginseng here, which is said to be the best medicinal material to dispel dampness and drive away cold, I brought it to you, Hongyu's hand was injured, so I asked Qiu Tao to make ginseng soup for you." ”

While speaking, Su Qianling glanced at Zhihua, and when Zhihua saw this, he hurriedly gave Qiu Tao the mountain ginseng in the hand of the maid behind him, and the mountain ginseng was stuffed into his arms, and Qiu Tao had to continue.

Su Qianlin was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only say thank you and force a smile.

After Su Qianling and his party left, she reached out and threw out the pillow beside her, today she had thought that she would definitely get some benefits from Su Qianling, but she didn't expect that she would become so shrewd at some point, not only did she get the benefits, but now it seems to have given her a dismount!

I couldn't be angry in my heart, but I had nowhere to sprinkle, Su Qianlin was so angry that her eyes were on fire, and she began to think about it in her heart again, and a little ruthlessness flashed between her dark eyes.

All the way back to Huashang Courtyard from Yulin Courtyard, Su Qianling didn't speak, Zhihua Zhiyan followed her, obviously feeling the coldness around her, the two glanced at each other from time to time, but they didn't dare to speak, Zhiyan seemed to know why the third lady was angry, and her heart was even more fluttering.

Back in Huashang Courtyard, Su Qianling glanced at the busy people in the courtyard, his face was calm but a little cold, and a pair of clear eyes were like a deep pool, peaceful but slightly cold, which made people tremble slightly.

"Zhihua, go and gather all the people in the yard to the front yard, I have something to say." Su Qianling was about to enter the house, but suddenly stopped, she turned around and instructed Zhihua.

Zhihua's heart trembled, glanced sideways at Zhiyan, and hurriedly went to gather everyone, Zhiyan followed Su Qianling's side, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, and asserted that she knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't get used to seeing other young ladies treat the third miss as a fool, one set in front of her and one behind the other, today the third miss also gave her the people in the yard, and she was not convinced when she thought about it, even if she was a little worried, but more of a grievance and unwillingness!

In a moment, Zhihua gathered more than 20 people up and down the courtyard, Su Qianling sat in front of her, and glanced between the crowds, some of whom she recognized, and some of whom had followed her for so many years, but she couldn't remember clearly.

"Let everyone gather here today, I have a few words to make clear." Su Qianling's face was calm, the sun shone on her face, showing a faint look, her appearance was not the ultimate among people, but the temperament revealed by this opening of her mouth was incomparable, at least, the other ladies in the general's mansion did not have such an aura.

Everyone looked at each other, it was rare to see the cold and solemn appearance of the third lady, although there was a little doubt in their hearts, but they didn't care very much, the third miss has always been soft, even if they did something wrong, it was a few lessons, and as the days went by, the hearts of the people in Huashang Academy became wider and wider.

Looking at everyone's indifferent expressions, Su Qianling's heart sank, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and her voice was still as light as a spring breeze, but the exit was a little powerful and cold.

"Everyone is the person my mother personally ordered to me, I haven't changed it for so many years, and the latest one has been a year, compared to the people in other yards, you are all considered old people, presumably everyone knows this rule very well, today I will mention three points, when it comes to whom, you decide for yourself." Su Qianling said, his eyes slightly provoked and swept a glance in the crowd, taking in everyone's expressions, and a pair of clear deep eyes faded a little cold: "First, since you have come to Huashang Courtyard and everyone follows me, you must see clearly who is your master, if you have two hearts, as long as I catch the braids, there is a vacant position in the Huanyi Courtyard!" ”

When the people who didn't care about it heard Su Qianling's words, their hearts trembled involuntarily, and a few people with weak hearts suddenly turned white, although the Huan Washing House was clearly a miscellaneous position, it was the most tired and dirtiest place in the entire General's Mansion, and the steward was also ruthless, but everyone who had stayed in the Su Mansion for half a year avoided the Huan Washing Courtyard.

Listening to Su Qianling's words, everyone looked up, her eyes that exuded cold air and cold mist made them suddenly feel a chill in their backs, and they couldn't help but shiver secretly.

Su Qianling took a sip of tea slightly, reached out and put the cup on the table, the bottom of the cup knocked the corner of the table, making a crisp sound, which made people's hearts tremble: "Second, recognize your own identity, what to say to the outside world and what not to say, weigh it yourself, to me, you should also know the truth of reporting level by level, if anyone thinks they are judging themselves, then my Huashang Academy is not big enough to accommodate a living Buddha like you, please leave early." ”

Zhiyan's heart trembled, and he looked sideways at Su Qianling with a cold expression, this seemed to be said to her, but his eyes were not on her, and he didn't even look at her between words, listening, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and at the same time, a sour grievance came up, and the Jinpa under his hand couldn't help but twist together.

Looking sideways at Zhiyan's demeanor, Su Qianling retracted his gaze, his face was still soft with a little coldness: "The last point, I have redistributed everyone's monthly money, I have already written the list, and then the courtyard will implement a reward and punishment system, and at the end of the month, from top to bottom, I will reward and punish according to your table, and those who work hard will be rewarded with Cheng dù, and the monthly money will be doubled at most, as for those who are sneaky and slippery, the monthly money will be deducted depending on the situation!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion among everyone, and his heart was all bottomless, I don't know if my monthly money is more or less, and the reward and punishment system is also invisibly a little more pressure.

Su Qianling sat in front and was not in a hurry to speak, reached out and handed the cup to his lips, and took a few sips shallowly.

Perhaps, because of this relaxation, everyone was even more unpredictable about Su Qianling, but they didn't dare to say more, and after a few words in a low voice, they gradually lost their voices.

Everyone's voices gradually subsided, Mother Jin got Su Qianling's instructions, took out the list she had just written, and began to read the names one by one, and the person who was read the name stepped forward to get the money bag, the money bag was the monthly money for the next month, and the day was coming, so she took this opportunity to send it.

"Third Miss, this number, the old slave is not convinced!"

Mother Li took the money bag, the money in it was one-third less than before, she had been in Su Mansion for so many years, even the big girls around the master would give her a little thin noodles, and now that the third lady has lowered her monthly money, she is naturally not convinced.

Su Qianling was drinking tea, and when she heard Mother Li's voice, her fingers paused slightly, and she still handed the cup in her hand to her lips, took a shallow sip, and put it back on the table.

"Mother Li, do you think it's unfair for me to give you this, or should you be worth more?" Su Qianling looked at Mother Li with a pair of clear eyes, and between speaking, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and a private smile appeared on her face, but this smile made people feel cold out of thin air.

"Third Miss, the old slave has been in this Huashang Courtyard for a few years, and I haven't done anything to make you angry or uncomfortable in the past few years, let alone anything that you can't tolerate, this reduction of monthly money The old slave has no way to agree, even if it is the eldest lady, she will always give me a reason!"

Su Qianling's heart was cold, did she use the eldest lady to press her?

A pair of clear eyes brought out a little coldness, Su Qianling's face was still as calm as usual, she reached out and pulled away the hair floating in front of her sideburns, invisibly bringing out a sense of oppression that people couldn't look at directly: "You want a reason?" Then you listen carefully, on the third day of the first month of last month, the eldest sister sent someone to send a blue exquisite fruit, the thing did not pass through Mother Jin, it was you who took over and sent it directly to me, only half blue! ”

Mother Li's heart trembled suddenly, that exquisite fruit is a rare thing, she saw that no one around saw it, so she secretly hid a few in her room, thinking that the third lady didn't notice it, but now when she mentioned it, her heart couldn't help but thump, and her legs were a little weak.

"At the end of the month, when you cleaned up my house, the glass bottle on the left side of the screen table was knocked off by you and cracked, you didn't report it to Jin's mother, but instead took something and stained it from the inside, am I right?" Su Qianling stood up and looked at Mother Li condescendingly, with a bit of chill in her clear eyes, which made people dare not look directly.

Mother Li couldn't help but tremble when she heard the "glass bottle", she thought it was seamless, but she didn't expect that the third lady was the same as seeing it, those watery eyes could almost see through people's hearts, she was flustered, and in March, Mother Li's bean-sized sweat beads came out silently, covering her forehead.

"Third Miss, the old slave doesn't dare anymore, you can spare me this time!" After all, the old man who has been in this backyard for decades, knowing that there is no way out, he will not struggle, and only hopes that the third lady will be as kind as usual and give her a chance.

"You'll talk about it later." Su Qianling's face was calm, and she couldn't see that she wanted to spare Mother Li, nor did she see that she wanted to punish her.
