Chapter 284, the three brothers and sisters gossip on the mule cart, punishing loyal servants and shocking people's hearts
The three Situ brothers and sisters stayed in Fuxiang Village until the fifth day of the first lunar month, and early in the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, when they said goodbye to the four brothers of the Li family and returned to Beijing.
"Brothers, you don't have to send it, remember to go to Beijing early in the morning on the fifteenth, and let's enjoy the lanterns together at night!" Situ Yan sat on the mule cart, lifted the curtain and waved goodbye to the four of them.
The four brothers of the Li family understand that the little sister will not stay in Fuxiang Village all the time, after all, her eldest brother has returned, although she understands it in her heart, she is still so uncomfortable that it is difficult to even squeeze a smile on her face. Situ Yan can see these clearly, but these are all things that she will experience sooner or later, she will not persuade her, and she doesn't know how to persuade her. However, she came back to live for two days every now and then, or took the Li brothers to live in the capital for a while, which was better than the separation between the two places in the northwest capital before.
Situ Jin hugged his fists and the four brothers of the Li family resigned, and then got into the car and ordered Wu Guo to set off, and the mule cart went out of Fuxiang Village and got on the post road, and the four Li family stopped sending each other. Looking at the car shadow that was gradually becoming blurry, Li Shilang couldn't help but wipe his tears again, "Big brother, will Xiao Wu not come back?" ”
"Talking to Xiao Wu these days, she has a big revenge now, according to Xiao Wu's meaning, I want to do business, I don't object to Brother Situ, I want to go back and forth Xiao Wu will run on both sides of the capital and Henan County! I'm afraid that only those who celebrate the New Year will come back to live for a while. No matter when Xiao Wu comes back, this is her home! Li Dalang had already been prepared, but he was also sad, but he understood that the little sister was different from them, not to mention the little sister's talent, if she only stayed at home, wouldn't it be a waste.
"Yes, Big Brother is right. Primary four, we will start school after fifteen counties, and we will live in Henan County. Naturally, it will be common to see little sisters. On the contrary, the eldest brother and the second brother have seen less! ”
"Little San doesn't have to worry about me, if I want to be a little five, I will also go to the county seat for two days!" Li Erlang is the most open, compared to his little sister going away, now he can be so close at hand, he is already satisfied.
The four of them chatted as they walked back. Situ Jin on the mule cart was also chatting with Situ Yan about the four members of the Li family, "This is the New Year, and Yan'er is eleven years old." Although you yourself are not in a hurry to discuss marriage, but after all, we and the Li family brothers are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and it will not change if we live together like this! In the future, you can still avoid it, right? ”
Situ Yan knew that this feudal ritual was crushing people, and she also understood that Situ Jin was worried about her reputation. But she didn't want to hurt the hearts of the four brothers of the Li family like this. But on the face, he still agreed to Situ Jin, "Brother doesn't need to worry, I will pay attention!" What's more, this is out of the fifteenth, I will live in Henan County, and then I will be busy with the things in the shop, I just want to go back to Fuxiang Village, I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity! ”
"Hmmm! Yan'er, you have no objection to being a brother in business. But there is one thing, you must not show your face. Lost identity! If your future in-laws know, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the door? When Situ Jin thought of Duanmu Xuan's background, he originally wanted to oppose Situ Yan's continued business, but he knew that although the little sister listened to him, in some things, even he, who was a brother, couldn't stop and persuade him.
"Brother, I'm only eleven years old, and I said before that I wouldn't get married so early, so brother should think about his marriage first, right?" Situ Yan didn't want to discuss her marriage with Situ Jin anymore, so she kicked the ball on Situ Jin again.
"Brother Wei has no fame now, wait a little longer!" Situ Jin was not in a hurry, thinking that when he had a fame, it would be better to talk about his relatives than to be white now.
Situ Li is the same age as Situ Yan, only a month away, and he is still a slave at the moment, so this matter is not in a hurry at this time. Therefore, he didn't interject, but kept secretly looking out, leaving Situ Mansion these days, he was the one who had the most fun.
"Cousin, why didn't you see that snow wolf when you left just now?" Situ Li saw that Situ Jin and Situ Yan seemed to have finished talking, so he dared to interject.
"I'm going to forage for food, I think it's time to walk in front of the carrot and find the way!" How could Situ Yan leave the snow wolf, but the snow wolf is wild after all, although she follows herself, she will let the snow wolf out as long as she has the opportunity, and she will not keep holding it up.
"I envy my cousin, I have the love and care of the four brothers of the Li family, the admiration of Duanmu Shizi, and even a spiritual animal like the snow wolf follows my cousin! Which is like me? Situ Li didn't understand, his cousin was just a girl, but she could be loved by so many people. Not even a single animal would ever abandon her.
"Cousin, people are mutual, how much you give, although it may not necessarily be in return, but at least you can do it with a clear conscience! Whether it is in Lijia Village or in the northwest border city, I have also rescued some white-eyed wolves, but because they are not grateful, we have to die to everyone? I only know that people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, people bully me an inch, and I will pay it back a hundred times! As long as your cousin is worthy of his heart, as long as he insists on himself, there will always be people who like you and are close to you. It's like me and my brother. Although Situ Yan has no feelings for Situ Li, after all, this person is the only bloodline of the Situ family, and this person is not bad in nature, so he said a few more words.
Situ Jin also nodded on the side, although he didn't approve of Situ Yan returning the enemy a hundred times, but he also knew that now they were alone, if not, I am afraid that it would be more difficult to revive Situ Mansion than to ascend to the sky. But now that the Qin family is gone, Xiaomei no longer has to live with hatred, as long as he can achieve something in the future, he can naturally become Xiaomei's backer, and at that time, he will protect Xiaomei from the wind and rain, and Xiaomei's hands will no longer be stained with blood. He wants his little sister to be a holy white lotus.
Situ Jin let go of what he was thinking in his heart and patted Situ Li's shoulder, "Cousin Li, since Situ Mansion has undergone great changes, your life and I are no longer the same as it used to be, instead of sitting in place and sighing at myself, it is better to continue to move forward, although the road is full of thorns, but if you don't move forward, it will be difficult for Situ Mansion to regain its former glory!" Don't worry, even if there are constant storms along the way, at least we are accompanied by our brothers and sisters! ”
Situ Li understood what Situ Jin meant, and looked at the two brothers and sisters gratefully, they already had a lot of their own affairs, but they still had to take care of him as a useless waste. "Well, thank you, big cousin, thank you, cousin Yan'er. I will try my best to support Situ Mansion, although I don't know if I can make Situ Mansion regain its former glory, but I will definitely do my best! ”
Situ Yan chuckled, Situ Li is the same as Situ Jin, she needs her encouragement every now and then, so that she will not retreat, I think this is also the product of Situ family's DNA. Although this kind of character is not what she likes, these two people are related to the original owner, since she can't discard it. can only be prepared to constantly spur the two, but fortunately, these two are not bad in nature, but they are on the list of her helpers.
After all, she has fulfilled the original owner's wish, and she no longer owes anything to the original owner. So even if she leaves at this time. Draw a line with the two, and her conscience will not be disturbed.
The three of them chatted for a while, the capital was approaching, Situ Yan called the snow wolf into the car, so as to save the fear of some unknown people after entering the capital and bring trouble to Situ Mansion.
Back at the house, Li Youzhu and Cui Ping went out to greet the servants in the house, Situ Yan was still a little unaccustomed to such pomp. Only nodded. A few steps into the inner courtyard. Situ Jin and Situ Li are very used to it. The two chatted and walked as they walked. Situ Jin also asked about the situation in Li Youzhu's mansion.
"The eldest young master is at ease, the eldest lady ordered before leaving, and there are also people who come to the door these days, but they are all neighbors around the world, and what they send is just some ordinary gifts, and the slave has already sent the return gift according to the meaning of the eldest lady! It's just that the two cousin young masters came to make a fuss, and the slaves were afraid of attracting the attention of the neighbors and ruining the reputation of the eldest young master and the eldest lady, so they had to give each of them ten taels of silver, and then they were dismissed! The slave is in charge of his own affairs, and he asks the eldest young master to punish him! When Li Youzhu mentioned Situ Chenming and Situ Chenxi, he also hated the root of his teeth, but after all, he didn't do what he was told, and he should receive this punishment.
"Young master, my father is old, and the slave is willing to take my father to bear it!" The bolt also hated these two, but he understood that although they were now good people, they were still slaves of the Situ Mansion, and it was their fault that they did not follow the rules of the government.
Cui Ping had already followed Situ Yan into the inner courtyard at this time, and she didn't know what happened in the outer courtyard, but the little maid in the outer courtyard alertly reported to Cui Ping.
"Eldest Miss, the two cousins and the concubines are kneeling in front of the mansion, and there is no way for Brother Zhu to do it, so he will? Miss, please give me a favor? Cui Ping's anxious eyes were filled with tears and she knelt in front of Situ Yan.
Situ Yan understands that Li Youzhu is doing this to protect Situ Jin and her reputation, and his circumstances can be avoided, and his crime should be punished! Is it really difficult to do?
"Cuiping, you get up first! The punishment for this matter must be punished, after all, this house rule must be observed, but I think the eldest young master will not move the board, at most it will be punished for a few months, you can rest assured, how much the pillar has been punished, I will make up for you! ”
Cui Ping listened to Situ Yan's words, and then she was a little relieved, but she still couldn't let go in her heart, "Okay, I don't need you to serve here, you go to the outer courtyard to have a look, if the eldest young master is punished heavily, you can come back and report to me!" ”
"Yes, Miss Xie!" Cui Ping got Situ Yan's words, so she happily ran to the outer courtyard.
In fact, how could Situ Jin punish Li Youzhu, but if he didn't punish him, if these two came to the door again in the future, it would be difficult for other minions to deal with it, so he was also worried. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Cui Ping poking her head out and looking into the study.
"Cuiping, come in!"
"The eldest young master, it was the eldest lady who asked the slave to come over!" Cui Ping knew that she shouldn't come at this time, but one was her husband and the other was her son, how could she bear it.
"Well, I see! You stand aside first! Of course Situ Jin understands what the little sister means, this Li Youzhu is kind to him, not to mention punishment, even if he reprimands him, he doesn't know how to speak, but after all, this Situ Mansion is now his master, so the momentum he should have still has to have.
"Bolt, you get up first!" The bolt wanted to argue a few more words, but when he saw his father giving him a look, he got up and stood next to Cui Ping.
"You have all seen and heard about the young master, this is a family affair in the house, remember to keep your mouth in check, don't spread it!" Situ Jin glared at the other servants in the room, and saw that everyone was kneeling and nodding, so he looked at Li Youzhu, "As for Manager Li, if he violates the rules of the government, he deserves to be punished, but his first offense is to violate the reputation of the young master and the eldest lady, so he will be punished lightly!" Situ Li paused for a moment, and then spoke, "I will be fined for half a year!" But this thing must not be done again, everyone in the house, if someone commits it again, no matter how serious the circumstances are, they will be punished with a heavy crime! "For the minions, the monthly case is the only thing they care about, such a punishment is not light, not to mention that it is half a year's monthly case all of a sudden, if it is placed on the ordinary minions, it will be a disaster. But for Li Youzhu's family, they are not only one person who works as an errand in the house, and one person receives half a year less, which really has no impact.
"Yes!" The other minions in the room felt that the punishment of the eldest young master was a bit heavy, only Li Youzhu understood that the eldest young master was not punished at all, it was completely for others to see, kowtowed, thanked Situ for his lenient punishment, and then got up.
Cui Ping's heart that she had been carrying was put down. glanced at the eldest young master embarrassedly, and exited the outer courtyard study with Li Youzhu.
"Why did you get here?" Li Youzhu pulled Cuiping, and the two found a place where no one was there and chatted.
"Am I not worried?" Cui Ping also knew that she shouldn't come to the outer courtyard, but she really couldn't rest assured.
"It's just that what I did was wrong, even if the eldest young master wants to play the board, I deserve it, don't you make it difficult for the eldest young master? In the future, if you don't come to the outer courtyard less, we can't be the slaves of the slave bully, don't forget, our lives are still saved by the eldest lady? ”
"You still need to say this, I don't know?" Cui Ping glared at Li Youzhu, angry that he didn't understand herself, but she also knew that this was hers, "Don't worry!" It's not my first day as a minion! But the eldest lady really guessed correctly, the eldest young master will not beat you on the board, but only the monthly punishment, and the eldest lady also said that no matter how much you are punished, the eldest lady will make it up for me! ”
"Don't just be happy, you and I are not the only two minions in the house now, since the eldest lady cares about us, then we can't lose our proportions!" Li Youzhu saw that Cui Ping didn't care, not only was he a little worried. Although he knew that Cuiping would never be able to do the thing of a slave bully, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no villain, blowing the wind in the ears of the eldest young master and eldest lady, this time or twice, maybe the masters didn't believe it, but after a long time, when the old love was gone, I was afraid that these ear winds would become the key to their lives.
"I'm the son of Situ Mansion, how can I see these things clearly, okay, don't worry, I'll pay attention!" Cui Ping knew it in her heart, but the eldest lady and the eldest young master could treat them so kindly, it was difficult for her to be unhappy.
Situ Yan naturally knew the result quickly, and she had a little understanding of Situ Jin's methods of handling things, and she could rest assured that she would hand over this house to Situ Jin. (To be continued......)
