The weather in mid-autumn slowly cools down after noon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this time, the golden black hangs obliquely, the sun is dim and yellow, and a lot of afterglow spreads all over the sky, and a few evening clouds on the horizon are plated with a layer of golden or orange coat, reflecting the verdant distant mountains, which is particularly quiet and freehand chic.
In the Yicui courtyard, there were more than a dozen maids and women standing neatly, all of them holding their breath, but they all secretly glanced at Peng Jin who was sitting on the Taishi chair at the door.
Although the day has not passed, whether it is true or false, at least on the surface, they have put away their previous frivolity and slackness, for fear that the white yarn baotou in front of them will be unhappy with the third grandmother who seems to be a different person, and they will be sent away like a snail.
Biluo has always been relied on and trusted by the third grandmother, and today she has been expelled from the Bofu; Then these people, if they offend the third grandmother, they don't know where they will be sold directly!
Peng Jin held on to his headache, sat down on the Taishi chair dignifiedly, picked up the tea bowl on the high table next to him, and asked word by word to the more than a dozen quail-like people below: "Do you know why I gathered everyone today?" β
The dozen or so people below looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Someone who had the courage to be naΓ―ve, half respectful and half coaxing, said: "I don't know, please ask the third grandmother to show me." β
Yunwu glared at the coaxing people, and opened his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Peng Jin.
"Green willow, thirteen years old, entered the mansion the year before last, and was assigned to Yicui Courtyard a year ago, serving pen and ink in the third master's study." Peng Jin held the tea bowl, didn't look at the maid, and said casually in a casual tone:
"Your old son fled to the capital when he was young, and was taken into the house by the old uncle. Now you are in the front yard, responsible for driving the car for the master; Your wife is in the courtyard of your wife and is responsible for guarding the gate of the courtyard. The couple only has one daughter for you, who eats and drinks well on weekdays, and also invites you a female gentleman for two years.
At the beginning, your old son and mother took the way of the eldest grandmother and sent you to the house to be a rough girl.
A year ago, the third master was ready to go to the exam, so he wanted to pick a maid with a rough understanding of literature and ink to serve in the study. It just so happened that the grandmother said that you knew a few words and read a few poems, so she recommended you to your wife. After the inspection, Mrs. agreed to let you go to the third master's study to serve the pen and ink.
After arriving at the Yicui Courtyard, Biluo will take the initiative to approach you, and on weekdays, he will also ask for warmth, and give you a copy of any good things. Not to mention anything else, I gave Biluo a silver hairpin with pearls and a bracelet of pink crystal, which I am wearing on you now. β
Peng Jin raised his head at this time, looked at the green willow that had been trembling with fright, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and asked gently: "The silver hairpin and bracelet are all made by Baohualou, and the silver tray under the pearl is embedded with the name of Jinlou, and the gold beads used for knotting the bracelet are also engraved with the name of Jinlou." As for the year, month and day, and which master made it, do you still need me to report it one by one? β
Liu Lu had already knelt on the ground with a "poof", cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he defended in a trembling voice: "Back to the third grandmother, the slave maid has some friendship with Biluo, and has also given some objects in private, but it is just the friendship between the little sisters, and the slave and maid have definitely not harmed the third grandmother with Biluo!" Please also ask the third grandmother to take a look! β
"Mingcha?" Peng Jin's face turned grim and sneered, "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" β
"Yunmist, you tell her." Peng Jin looked too lazy to talk to the green willow, and ordered the cloud and mist standing on the side, lowered his head to sip the tea in his hand, and never looked at the green willow again.
"I won't talk about it, I'll start from more than a month ago." Yunwu had a cold face and said indignantly:
"On the eighth day of the seventh month, the cousin of the Min family came to visit the old lady in the house, and everyone gathered together in Rongshoutang to feast and drink, and the trouble ended very late. The third master asked for a book and went back to the courtyard in advance. You don't go to serve the third master's pen and ink, but hide in Rongshoutang to eat and drink, and let Biluo go to the study to serve the third master instead of you.
On that day, Biluo gave you a piece of lake silk that her grandmother had just given her, embroidered with spring flowers on a green background. You cut a new dress with it, and you just put it on for the first time two days ago.
On the tenth day of the seventh month, the third master went to the academy to ask the master about teaching, and you sorted it out in the study. Biluo took a few silk flowers that her grandmother gave her and went to the study to play with you. It was not until it was dark that the third master sent a message saying that he would stay in the academy that night, and Biluo came out. When he came out, Biluo didn't bring a single silk flower, but he brought a book that the third master often reads.
The next day, Biluo went to the study to find the third master by returning the book.
On July 13, the second lady made her birthday. Because the third master wanted to warm the book, he sent a congratulatory gift and returned to the Yicui Courtyard. On the way, you deliberately led your uncle to take a long detour, passing by the water pavilion, and also collided with Miss Table, making Miss Cousin so angry that she cried to the old lady, and the old lady called her grandmother over to reprimand her.
After I came back, I was bumped into by my grandmother and I saw that you were talking to other people about your grandmother's wrong, and your words were disrespectful.
Ghost Festival......
β¦β¦
On August 13, the night before yesterday, after the lights went out, Biluo quietly went out to look for you.
Then, early yesterday morning, something big happened.
You said that Biluo's affairs have nothing to do with you, so how do you explain these things? β
Green Willow's face turned pale with fright, and every time Yunwu said something, her heart sank a little, and in the end, the whole person fell to the ground, trembling, shouting injustice, but it was obvious that she was weak and lacking in confidence.
She is not a snail, she can still recover her good status if she is driven away; It's not Jinzhu, it's still an old lady to protect if something happens.
Although the eldest grandmother promised that as long as she did her errands seriously, she would give her benefits and promote her, but the incident was so big yesterday early that even the wife, who had always cared about the affairs of Yicuiyuan, indicated that she would protect the third grandmother, would the eldest grandmother be willing to help her?
The third grandmother was angry, and even her henchman Biluo was sent out without hesitation, how much affection could she have for her?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she fell on the ground, crying so hard that she forgot to refute it.
And there really is no way to argue with it.
In the past, everyone didn't take the third grandmother seriously, so they didn't deliberately hide it when they did these things, but they didn't expect to dig a big hole for themselves. Now as long as the third grandmother has the heart to investigate, nothing can be found.
Every creature feels for its kind.
Seeing that the situation of the green willow was so miserable, for a while, the dozen or so maids and women who were standing hung their heads lower, and their foreheads and palms were all sweaty.
"You were recommended by your grandmother, and your wife approved it, and I don't want to send it down, but this Yicuiyuan can't keep you, so I can only send you back to your original place. As for you betraying the trust of your wife and grandmother, what they will do with you, I don't have a good time asking. Peng Jin took it lightly.
All she wants is to drive out these people with ulterior motives, so as not to threaten herself and her children, instead of forming too many grudges at this time and setting up obstacles for the future of herself and her children.
Sure enough, when Lu Liu heard Peng Jin say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked much better. As long as you are still in the house, and you have a big grandmother to rely on, you don't have to worry about having a better day.
A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.
With the example of Green Willow in the past, Peng Jin's next disposal of others will be much smoother.
Most of Peng Jin hadn't let Yunwu list their crimes one by one, so they took the initiative to ask for guilt.
Peng Jin took advantage of the situation and dealt with them one by one, and remediated the Yicui Courtyard from top to bottom.
Scattering everyone, Peng Jin instructed Yunwu: "In a while, you will personally report today's events to the old lady and his wife." β
Although it is a matter in his own yard, with such a large personnel scheduling, the personnel relationship involved is complicated, and with the approval of the top two, he will face less pressure from all parties.
