Chapter 158: Picking up the Mess
In this way, Mu Yishan's family members who had painstakingly placed in Gutian City and were really cared for by him all fell into Xue Rulan's palms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Many concubines who used to be spoiled and spoiled, and didn't put their housemothers in their eyes, they would cry without tears, and when they saw Xue Rulan one by two, they were all as well-behaved as chickens, trembling, and their whole bodies were weak, I was afraid that if one look was wrong, and if they didn't reply with a word, the powerful housemother would be able to eat people alive on the spot.
When it came to kneeling and kowtowing to say goodbye, in order to show loyalty to the master's mother, some people knocked their foreheads and bled out, which shows how scared they must be!
Faced with this situation, Xue Rulan smiled unconsciously, and thought to herself, "You little sluts, you will also have today!" β
"At the beginning, relying on the uncle's favor, the eldest son of Qi'er dared to laugh and despise him, and even dared to secretly make a black hand, but now the uncle is under house arrest by his son, your dependence is gone, I want to see, how arrogant are you one or two?"
After seven or eight years of accumulated anger, she finally got through to the day when she could vent her anger, how could Xue Rulan let it go?
She didn't do it ruthlessly, and told everyone with a smile about the future arrangements, "You came back from Gutian City unexpectedly, and the family was caught off guard, the yard of our big house is big, and there are many houses, but there are not as many concubines and children as the uncle." β
"No, our family is about to make a big decision, and the whole family is too busy with big gifts, so I don't bother Mrs. Lao for these small things."
"Therefore, you can squeeze in for a while, and when you are busy with business, I will go to Granny Ming and ask her old man to allocate a few more yards for our big house."
That's it, Xue Rulan is open-minded, putting those who were originally not harmonious in private and have enmity together, and every month's share is all according to the rules, no less, but not more.
This is simply a torment for the delicate people who have passed the customs in Gutian City, plus Xue Rulan sent a strong old mother to watch the courtyard gate, no one can go out for a walk, within a few days, these people can't bear it, and they have begun to target each other and find trouble with each other.
When Xue Rulan heard the news, she smiled, "Let's let them go internally first, and after a while, find a leader and give them a good reputation." β
Mother Lu pursed her lips and said, "It's cheap for these sassy foxes, grandma is just too kind-hearted." β
Xue Rulan smiled and didn't answer, she is not a kind-hearted person, but if she doesn't drive these people to a dead end first, when she opens her mouth to ask her mother-in-law for grace to release people, who will leave the Hou Mansion?
As long as they feel that life in Houfu is worse than death, and they can live well when they go out to marry, this can be regarded as achieving their goal.
She also believes in karma a little now, these people are nothing more than arrogant, but they don't have any deep hatred, and Qiaozhu, Xue's mother and the like, there is still a difference.
Therefore, Xue Rulan thought about sending all these eyesores far away, so as not to leave another incident.
As for those little ghosts who secretly colluded with Qiaozhu, when they arrived at this time, they were all gathered in a courtyard by her to take care of them, these people were Mu Yishan and Huang's henchmen, and Liang Wenyu had found a place to go in the future, either coal kilns or iron mines, let them go where to atone for their sins.
However, because Mu Lingxuan was about to make a big decision, and the New Year was also in front of him, Liang Wenyu decided to hold off and wait until the end of the New Year to get this group of people away.
In this way, the situation of Qiaozhu, a key person, is very delicate, she must not be found by some people with a heart now, in a word, unless Qiaozhu's body is carried out of Zifang Courtyard, otherwise, Xue Rulan will not leave any chance for her to betray the news again.
If you want to be neat and tidy, there is no way, as long as Qiaozhu dies quietly, it will be completely solved.
But Liang Wenyu endured for the sake of her son, and Xue Rulan couldn't keep her eyes open at this time, adding bad luck to the family, right?
So no matter how much you think about it in your heart, you still have to hang Qiaozhu's breath.
And how to arrange Yuzhu in the future, but it will be simpler, just wait for Qiaozhu's matter to be over, and immediately take advantage of the reason of being old, and release the maids who have lived in the house to match people, and then the name of Yuzhu will be over in the sky.
And this time, because of the great determination of the prince and the future New Year, the young children selected in advance have been trained after experiencing these two major events, and they can just top up the vacant ones.
Over the years, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has not made much moves, and it is time to change some fresh blood to this place that has been stable for more than ten years.
In the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Xue Rulan is like this, making a big adjustment in secret, she is not arbitrary, these things are all consulted by Liang Wenyu, and she only began to implement them after getting the nod of her mother-in-law.
The courtyard next to it is okay to say, the big girl next to Liang Wenyu will also release three of them this time, and these three are all outstanding, and I don't know who will go cheaper in the end.
The big girl next to Mrs. Hou has a lot of dowry, and she will not cut off contact with her wife if she gets married, after the news spreads, maybe how many people are rushing to ask for marriage, and want to take this opportunity to get in touch with the Hou Mansion, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to marry an official wife.
As for Xue Rulan's own side, she chose the two girls Luo'er and Man'er to come out, and wanted to come and follow her to finish this month, even if these two girls have learned almost, they will be promoted to first-class maids when the time comes, but in this way, there are two less second-class maids, and two need to be mentioned to make up for it.
She thought about it for a while, and instructed Lu's mother: "Qiaozhu and Yuzhu have a deep sisterhood, mother and let them go, the two of them are old, I just want to stay, and I can't stay for long." β
"It's the cloves around Sister Yuan, I look good, you have been paying attention to it for the past two days, choose a few smart and clever ones in this wave of family children, give Sister Yuan one first, change the cloves, I will take her with me to learn how to treat people, and it will be worth a lot in the future."
"The rest of the little girls, you might as well pick out a few good ones, bother to dial a little, after the year, we have to promote some people in the yard."
When Lu's mother heard this, she hurriedly smiled and agreed, happy and worried, happy that the matter of the girl Lilac has finally reached a conclusion, and it is also a creation to be able to go to the grandmother's side and learn to have high eyebrows and low eyes.
The good thing is that this child is so good that he doesn't die, and he has survived the mind of climbing high branches, and he used to look at the young master of Baoshan is a gentle character, and his eldest lady is also a bodhisattva, even if he is really a concubine, he will not be too tormented, and he is an aunt himself, which can be regarded as reassuring.
But now, the eldest lady and the Xue family have divorced, and they don't know who they will marry in the future.
She added a matter of concern to her heart, so much so that Xue Rulan said such things, but she still refused to move Qiaozhu out, and Mother Lu had no intention of caring about it anymore.
The days were slowly spent under the busyness of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Yin Yamen, and on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Mu Detai and his son finally took the soldiers and returned triumphantly!
On the whole, the losses in this battle to defend the border were relatively small in recent years, and if we put this relatively small amount aside in a disaster year like this year, it will suddenly become a great victory.
The people were rejoicing, and they spontaneously cooperated with the yamen to prepare a grand welcome ceremony for the soldiers returning home, and even some rich gentry put the lion dance and dragon dance prepared for the New Year out in advance, in order to add a little more joy to the welcome ceremony.
What Lan Jiayin wants to do most is to stand on the fifth floor of the Immortal Building like last time and watch Mu Lingxuan come back with his own eyes.
It's a pity that the two of them are about to make a decision, at such a time, if she still goes to the Immortal Building in such a high-profile manner, then Ming'er Pingjing City will have to ring the bell to spread, 'The fifth lady of the Lan family misses her fiancΓ©, and even disregards the etiquette and takes people to the Immortal Building to greet ......' gossip!
Thinking of such a vulgar result, Lan Jiayin finally suppressed her heart, and didn't want to let herself and Mu Lingxuan become the talking points of these people.
Reason is rational enough, but when it comes to doing things, it is inevitable that there will be some uncertainty.
Early in the morning, Lan Jiayin couldn't sit still in her room, so she took people to Mrs. Lan's yard, and she didn't count, she had to find something to do for herself.
No, you see that she is either sitting in Mrs. Lan's Xinuan Pavilion, dropping the pen when she helped Mother Hu copy the list, or when she was playing with Brother Hao, she didn't say anything to the children.
Mrs. Lan frowned, but she herself is a person who abides by the rules, so even if she has been slightly more open in the last half a year than in the capital, it is far from reaching the point where she can support Lan Jiayin to go to South Street to meet her future uncle.
"Qinqing, I see that your spirit is not very good today, I think it is because you didn't sleep well last night, you might as well go back to the yard to rest, and when your brother and Ade come back in the afternoon, I will call someone to invite you over." With the purpose of not being out of sight and out of mind, Mrs. Lan waved her hand and sent her absent-minded daughter away with a high-sounding reason.
Lan Jiayin doesn't sit in a sedan chair when she goes out, isn't this upset? Then just walk and enjoy the scenery and relax.
Under her leadership, the group walked slowly on the way back to Kexin Pavilion, Lan Jiayin was quite sad in her heart at this time, why?
Because although Mrs. Lan now has more of Mother Liu's new force, she still can't leave Hu Qinghui every day, because Hu Qinghui writes very beautifully, and it is very suitable to help Mrs. Lan write important invitations.
Lan Jiayin was driven out by her mother's disgust, but her best friend was brutally arrested by her mother, leaving her alone, lonely and pitiful.
"Miss, you better hurry up, it's freezing to death in the cold, you rub like this, and you don't wear clogs under your feet, your shoes will be wet after a while, what if your feet are frozen?" Jinzhu watched her grinding, moving back step by step, and this was called a hurry in her heart.
Mu Shizi came back today, representing the engagement on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, which will be held as scheduled, and today is the twenty-first day of the lunar month, only seven days away from the day of Dading, which is simply a blink of an eye!
Lan Jiayin was wandering outside in the cold, in case she caught the cold and fell ill again, then she, the first maid by her master's side, would really die and would not be able to excuse her guilt.
Lan Jiayin glanced at Jinzhu when she heard this, sighed helplessly, held the anemone stove in her arms with one hand, and waved the thick cloak in the other hand, "Mama wore the thickest fox fur cloak for me, and the waterproof lint boots on my feet, and the hot stove in my arms, so I almost wrapped a handkerchief on my face, but I covered it so tightly, but I was walking in my yard for a while, why did it get cold?" β
"Jinzhu, don't make a big fuss!"
Jinzhu secretly rolled her eyes, seeing that the bitter mouth did not work at all, she hurriedly changed her style, she took two steps forward, gently held Lan Jiayin's sleeve, blinked her eyes without mist, and begged mournfully: "Miss, my good miss, do you want to look at my mother and suck the maid to death?" β
"Alas....." Lan Jiayin is really convinced of this little girl, isn't this a combination of soft and hard!
Mama Kang is not so easy to fool as Jinzhu, thinking that there is indeed the possibility that Jinzhu will say, someone had to nod and speed up the pace back to the yard.
As a result, as soon as she entered the gate of Kexin Pavilion, across the verandah and the flower garden in the courtyard, Lan Jiayin saw Mama Kang pacing back and forth under the porch of the main house, with a look of anxiety on her face.
When she heard the movement, she hurriedly paused to look, and when she saw that it was indeed Lan Jiayin and her party who entered the door, she hurriedly beckoned in surprise: "Miss, did the bell invite you back?" β
In an instant, he muttered in confusion, "No, this time is not right, according to the distance, the bell should not have arrived at the main courtyard yet, right?" β
Before Lan Jiayin could speak, she saw Mama Kang, who had always been steady and steadfast, taking three steps and making two steps, a gust of wind passed through the verandah, and grabbed Lan Jiayin, pulled people to the main house, and when she arrived at the door, she pushed her little master into the house without saying a word, turned around, but she was full of confidence, and arranged for a group of maids outside to do things, from Jinzhu to Huang Gui, there was no one left, and it didn't take long, only Mama Kang and Jinzhu were left at the door.
Outside the house, Jinzhu was curious, and tried every possible way to find out the news from her mother-in-law.
In the room, in front of the large red sandalwood carved screen, stood the puzzled Lan Jiayin.
Mama Kang's sudden outburst of inattention made her a little stupid at the bottom of the situation......
Suddenly, Lan Jiayin thought of a certain possibility, and suddenly she was no longer calm, even the hand stove in her arms rolled to the ground, making a loud noise, she didn't care, and rushed into her bedroom with a smoke!
