The thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

All the people of the Yang Mansion gathered together, and the seating order was slightly different from the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Yang Zhiqing and Wang Wan sat on both sides of the old lady. Although Yang Shouyan and Yang Yupei did not spend the New Year in Yang Mansion for the first time, the entire Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not cold at all.

"It is worthy of being a lady from the Wang family, Sister Wan is different from us." He Niangzi smiled brightly, she wore a bright dress today, a gold silk jacket, heavy makeup, and beautiful lips, very delicate and rich.

She knew that Wang Wan had done something that the old lady was satisfied with this time, and she couldn't be wrong to say a few good words about her in front of the old lady.

"Wan Niang did a good job this time." The old lady was very satisfied with Wang Wan's ability to take care of family affairs, and she didn't think that she had nothing to do with herself on weekdays, and she was very orderly when she did serious things.

"It's just a matter of acting according to the rules and regulations, Wang Wan doesn't dare to take credit." Wang Wan's tone was light.

Yang Zhiqing raised his glass, "Come, I wish Yang Mansion a prosperous and prosperous life, and A-Niang a long and healthy life." ”

Everyone raised their glasses with great interest......

This is the third time Jing Ci has seen Yang Zhiqing. This biological father didn't like to be close to her, and since the first day she came to the Yang Mansion, he said to her that "you are not allowed to act rashly", and he treated her painlessly and without itching, and turned a blind eye. It's just right, she doesn't like him anyway, so it's just right not to interfere.

"Shall we set off firecrackers later?" Jing Ci said to Yang Wei next to her.

Yang Weixiao shook her head, her tone was quite disdainful, "That's a little thing, how old are you?" ”

Jing Ci pursed her lips, and when she saw that she couldn't move the third sister, she turned to Li Chen on the other side, "Are you going?" ”

"The fourth aunt is really playful," Li Chen teased, "If my mother knows, I have to teach you." ”

She had no choice but to eat vegetables with her head bored, Yang Mansion was like this, it was really boring.

…………

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Jing Ci An stayed in the courtyard and distributed New Year's money to the maids in the courtyard.

Jing Ci asked everyone in the courtyard to enter the house, and then asked Fang Nian to send money to everyone. After everyone's share was distributed, everyone knew that Fang Nian and Qingnu, as Jing Ci's close attendants, received the same money as everyone else, no different from the rough maids in the courtyard.

"Since you have entered the courtyard, you are my people, and everyone in the courtyard is treated equally." Jing Ci's face was a severity that they rarely saw, and the maids couldn't help but be surprised, is this still the usual docile master?

"I don't ask you to go to the soup for the courtyard, I just hope that you can perform your duties and be down-to-earth. I don't treat my servants harshly, but I'm also a person who knows what to reward and punish. ”

Everyone couldn't help but tighten their hearts, did the fourth lady finally take out the master as a send......

"Fang Nian, another set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone," Jing Ci looked at Fang Nian, and the corners of his mouth smiled, "If you see Fang Nian, if you see me, you can't read and write, won't you lose my face." ”

"Xie Siniang! The slave maid will serve Siniang wholeheartedly in this life. Fang Nian was quite excited, not because of how valuable the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were, but because Siniang said that seeing her was like seeing her master, what a great honor it was, and it invisibly raised her status to a very high level.

"Young girl, another ten silk horses."

"Xie Siniang."

Everyone showed a look of envy, ten horses of silk are worth more than pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which is equivalent to the material of twenty sets of clothes, it seems that the four ladies are rewarded the most by the young girl.

In addition, there were additional rewards for the cook and the little maid in the kitchen.

"As for punishment...... "Jing Ci raised his eyes and stared at everyone.

The maids, who had no extra reward, trembled in their hearts, and they knew in their hearts what they had done to their masters some time ago. As soon as the master suddenly came out like this, their hanging hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

Jing Ci looked at their changed faces and was quite satisfied, so he continued: "I don't want to cause bad luck during the New Year. In the future, who doesn't want to stay in the courtyard and talk to Fang Nian at any time, there is no need to be coy, and anyone who does not pay attention to things will be punished according to the rules of the Yang family. On the contrary, I am the master of the first house, the only fourth lady of the Yang Mansion, even if I am not treated well one day, the right to teach the cheap maid, the Yang Mansion will still give it to me. Ladies and gentlemen...... Do you understand everything? ”

Jing Ci stared at everyone closely, his voice was fierce, not at all like the relaxed and easy-going little master on weekdays.

"Yes—" Everyone hurriedly responded, nervousness written on their faces.

"Let's go down."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jing Ci felt more helpless in his heart, these slaves and maids are really ...... Stupidity. After all, the rough slave is a rough slave and maid, and it can't be compared with the first- and second-class slaves, and it is not as good as one thousandth of the young girls cultivated in the eldest sister's courtyard.

When she was in Luoyang, she didn't have her own maids, and she didn't know how to manage and control slaves and maids, but she understood these things in just a few months in the Yang Mansion.

She's not stupid, it's just that there are things she doesn't want to pay attention to, she feels that she doesn't belong to herself, and she has nothing to do with her, but now she ...... She seems to have really gradually integrated into the Yang Mansion...... Even the maids in the yard she wants to manage obediently.

Of course, the most important thing is that, as Xiao An said, if you don't tidy up the surroundings, maybe the seemingly inconspicuous will be a fatal blow.

It was late at night.

Fang Nian changed the master with a hand stove again.

"Is Siniang keeping the New Year tonight?"

Keeping the New Year? In the past, she used to stay up with Daddy every year, they stayed up all night together, from late at night to the rooster crowing, and then set off the first string of firecrackers of the new year, but Daddy was gone......

After the New Year's banquet in Yangfu, everyone dispersed back to their respective courtyards, she wanted to keep the New Year with A-Niang and the third sister, obviously they didn't follow this custom.

"Go to bed."

It's okay if you don't keep it at this age.

"Yes."

Fang Nian responded, and then turned around to look for the young girl, why did this young girl go for so long with hot water?

There was no young girl in the courtyard and kitchen, Fang Nian entered the bath, and when she saw the familiar figure, she was relieved that she had found her.

The young girl was carrying a pot to pour hot water into the basin, but she was dazed, and before she knew it, the hot water was about to overflow out of the basin......

"Hey, hey—what's wrong? It's all full. Fang Nian stopped her in time.

The young girl came back to her senses, reacted and hurriedly stopped.

"Qingnu, what's wrong with you, this big New Year, if you get burned, see how you explain to your master." Fang Nian is not angry, Qingnu has always been a cautious and steady person, how could she make a mistake at this juncture?

"What's wrong with Siniang?" The young girl replied suddenly, this time she really came back to her senses.

"No, I said Qingnu, what's wrong with you?"

The young girl gathered her eyes and squeezed out a smile, "It's okay." ”

"Siniang wants to go to bed, leave it to me here, you go make the bed." The young girl looked at her soulless appearance, and she was really worried that something bad would happen to her, and the washing water of the master would have to be boiled again.

"Good sister." The young girl smiled lightly.

The young girl then entered the master's inner room, but she was still thinking about it in her heart...... The master rewarded her with ten silks, but Fang Nian was just a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which shows that the master knows everything.

Are those ten horses of silk a warning?

…………

The first day of the first month.

Everyone went to the courtyard to greet the old lady for the New Year.

As Jing Ci expected, my grandmother really spread a lot of tea and fruit cakes, and she would not let everyone leave easily in two or three hours.

"I heard that you beat the cheap maid in the courtyard last night." Yang Weixiao asked Jing Ci.

"The news of the third sister is too fast," Jing Ci glanced at Fang Nian, who was standing behind him in a regular manner, "This girl told you, right?" ”

Yang Weiwei smiled, "You sent Fang Nian to send 'Granny Xu' rice cakes early in the morning, I asked you about the situation last night, and she said it in passing." ”

Granny Xu's rice cake is a famous product in Chang'an, and Jing Ci sent someone to buy it early in the morning, which was very delicious, so she gave some to Yang Weixiao.

"I have been in Yangfu for so long, and none of the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs have grown, and I have learned a lot from mastering and controlling people's hearts." Jing Zi smiled, and his tone was a little helpless.

"This is advanced knowledge. From the master and servant in the courtyard and the battle in the inner house, to the court and the diplomacy of a country, what does not need to be careful? "Coming from a family, it's a must-have skill for them.

"But I really don't like these things in my heart." Jing Ci shook his head.

The maid of the Yang Mansion, except for Fang Nian, has no temperament like the maid of the Wang family.

"If you don't like it, you can't do it, in short, you did a good job last night, you are worthy of our Yang family, after all, you have the temperament of the Yang family." Yang Weiwei is really satisfied with this, her sister finally learned what the master should be, and she was once worried that she didn't know how to fight in the house, it seems that the blood of the Yang family is really born.

Jing Ci heard this, but couldn't help but tremble his shoulders.

The Yang family's temperament......

Invisibly, she actually has the so-called Yang family temperament......
