Qing Shu's eyes flashed, he suppressed his anger, and asked lightly, "What did Madam say?" She thought, this matter can be big or small, it is difficult to take over, and it is even more difficult to deal with. Since the death of General Gu, the Gu Ye clan has not been close to his daughter, and has been hiding in the Wenlan Courtyard all day, and the number of times the mother and daughter meet each other is definitely not more than five times a year. Therefore, the former lord did not understand the personality of the Gu Ye clan, and the former lord's feelings of admiration for Confucianism were finally transformed into a kind of resentment under such a cold treatment by his mother. Now, the two maids around such a mother and daughter are fighting, and Gu Ye's reaction, she is very curious.

Mother Su replied cautiously, "Madame instructed the old slave to transfer Xiaojuan, the rough maid in the young lady's courtyard, and the Ding family sister, who was in charge of sprinkling and cleaning the main hall, to serve in the lady's courtyard. As for what to do with Miss Xiaoyu and Miss Xiaosuo, Mrs. asked Miss to decide. ”

Qing Shu knew that the Gu Ye clan had always ignored the things in the house, and hid in the main courtyard all day long to get moldy. However, the Gu Ye clan didn't even care about the life and death of his personal maid, this is really a master who can chill people's hearts.

You know, if this is replaced by the original Gu Qingshu, it will definitely let Xiaoyu fend for itself, if he is in a bad mood, maybe he will make Xiaoyu hurt and injured, and he will not punish Xiaoshu for a penny. Gu Ye knew this, but handed over the injured and unconscious Xiaoyu to her, not caring at all about Xiaoyu's affection for five years of close service, which was really ruthless.

Qing Shu dispelled the idea of slowly getting close to Gu Ye's family, and after a little thought, he came up with a rule, "Please ask Lang Zhong to look at Xiaoyu's injury." Again, I ordered him to go down and send someone out to grab the little lock and come back. ”

Mother Su looked up in surprise, "Little, Miss......"

Qing Shu's face sank, "Why don't you go soon?" Lang Zhong is late, how good should he be if he really wants to make trouble! "The servants in the house have been dismissed a lot in the past two years, and there are only a few maids left who serve the master, and there is still this kind of thing, she just wants to sigh.

Su's mother was startled, turned around and left. Suddenly remembered something, and turned back, "Miss, the money for the treatment of Miss Xiaoyu ......"

"Go to the account office and get it out of my monthly money this month." When her people make mistakes, of course, she has to bear the burden of being the master.

Su's mother forcibly suppressed a shocked look, said yes, and left in a hurry with her head down.

An hour later, except for the Gu Ye clan and Xiao Juan, who was temporarily transferred to serve the Gu Ye clan, everyone in the Gu Mansion was summoned to the open space in front of the main hall.

There were two chairs side by side on the table at the entrance of the main hall, Qing Shu was sitting on the chair on the left, and on the chair on the right was a boy with a nervous face who looked like five or six years old.

In the front position of the audience, there are two people on the left and right, namely the housekeeper Gu Qiang and his daughter-in-law Su's mother.

Gu Qiang was of medium height, about forty years old, with a few white hairs mixed with black hair, a beard, a red face, a hooked nose, a big mouth, and his eyes stood firmly on the left side like a torch, and he did not see the humility and deference of his master.

And Mother Su, on the contrary to Gu Qiang, stood on the right side with a respectful face.

There were two people kneeling on the flat ground not far behind their husbands and wives. One is a small pale fish with a white cloth wrapped around its head; One is a small lock with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth gagged.

At a distance of about two meters behind them, the male and female slaves in the palace stood in two columns on the left and right.

The column on the right is the woman and the child.

Xu Sanniang, a widow with a five-and-a-half-year-old daughter, is a cook in charge of kitchen work; The widow Xu Wuniang, holding a child who is not yet two years old, is the woman who is responsible for washing and sewing; Ding Jiamei, a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl, is in charge of the sprinkling and cleaning work and chores in the main hall of the house, and has been transferred to the lady's room at noon.

The column on the left is the man.

Cai Tieniu, who is missing an arm, is in his twenties and is a doorkeeper; The lame Li Dalang, in his thirties, is a coachman responsible for feeding horses and driving cars; Wei Tiehammer, who is not dexterous in his left hand, is sixteen years old, and is a handyman in the front yard; Ding Jiabao, a twenty-year-old man with a scar on the left side of his face that extends from the corner of his eyebrows to his chin, is mainly responsible for shopping in the house; Gu Yuanbao, a thin eleven-year-old boy, the second son of the ancient housekeeper and Su's mother, is a little maid who specializes in serving the little master of the ancient mansion.

Qing Shu put down the roster in his hand, his eyes swept over everyone, and he really wanted to sigh, this ancient mansion, at the feet of the Son of Heaven where the royal family and the famous families gathered, can really be described as a freak among freaks, and it is so different that people are speechless. This servant is not a man who is armless, lame, or disfigured; A widow with a child. The only ones that are normal are the four maids of Xiaoyu, Xiaosuo, Xiaojuan and Ding Jiamei and Gu Yuanbao.

After secretly sighing, Qing Shu motioned to Mother Su to remove the towel that blocked Xiao Su's mouth, and then indifferently asked the person kneeling below, "Say, who made the first move?" For what reason, there was a conflict. Although she knew what happened from Su's mother, and Xu Sanniang testified, she still wanted to ask again, and wanted to give Xiaosuo one last chance.

Without waiting for Xiaoyu to speak, Xiao Suo, who had been hanging his head, immediately came to his senses and took the lead, "Miss, Miss, it's all Xiaoyu's cheap girl, she said bad things about Miss behind her back, and the slave maid heard it, and the slave and maid taught her a lesson." Miss, this cheap girl can't stay. ”

Xiao Yu fell into tears with a pale face, "No, no, Miss, the slave didn't speak ill of Miss, the slave was instructed by Mother Su to bring food to Miss." Locking her slightly, she knocked over the food in the slave's hand, hmm...... Also, he beat the slave and the maid and pushed the slave and the maid down, hmm...... Miss, don't drive the slave away, please, miss, don't drive the slave and the maid. As he spoke, he actually ignored the injury on his head and kowtowed to Qing Shu again and again, and the white cloth wrapped around his head quickly became red.

Seeing this, Xiao Suo snorted triumphantly.

Seeing the blood oozing from the white cloth wrapped around Xiaoyu's head, Qing Shu was furious and said sharply: "Mother Su, drag Xiaoyu down and lock him in the firewood room." ”

Su's mother flashed with disappointment on her face, and as soon as she beckoned, she and Xu Sanniang forced the little fish who was still begging for mercy to go to the firewood room. Mother Su thought that the young lady had become better and was about to punish Xiao Suo, but she didn't expect it to be the case, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart again.

Gu Qiang stood quietly in place, not even moving his eyebrows.

Xiao Lock was even more smug and stood up.

Qing Shu didn't look at her, and lowered his eyes, "Housekeeper." ”

Gu Qiang didn't raise his eyelids, and his voice didn't rise or fall, "What does Miss command?" ”

Qing Shu said expressionlessly: "Xiao Suo, as a maid, did not come forward to rescue the master when he fell into the water, but abandoned the master and fled alone, and he was innocent of death." Miss Ben remembered her old love, and couldn't bear to kill her, so she decided to let her go. She was not grateful, but instead beat the girl in the house in a domineering manner, making the chickens and dogs in the house restless, such a maid could not be kept. Today, I will hand over the small lock to the housekeeper and sell it, and as for the deed of sale, let Su's mother go to my hospital to get it later. ”

Gu Qiang's left little finger hanging down at his side moved involuntarily, "Yes, miss." ”

"Don't, Miss, don't, Miss......" Xiao Suo couldn't believe her ears, she was stupid, and when she reacted, she knew that she was scared, and she screamed hoarsely. Miss, Miss, you can't sell the slave maid, the slave and the sister next to Xi Gongzi can talk, the slave and the maid are loyal to the young lady, the slave and the maid ......"

Qing Shu frowned, and was about to order her to shut up.

But Xu Wuniang, who could see Gu Qiang's signal, had already handed the child in her arms to the Ding family sister beside her, stepped forward in a few steps, and took out a handkerchief from the small lock where her hands were tied, and blocked the mouth of the little lock who kept howling.

Seeing this situation, Qing Shu raised his eyebrows and whispered softly to the struggling Xiao Suo: "Xiao Suo, out of the ancient mansion, your character of being arrogant and slandering the master must be changed." Not all masters are as talkative as I am, and can tolerate people climbing on their heads. With that, he waved his hand, "It's all gone!" ”

Gu Qiang replied yes, turned around and waved his hand, and everyone dispersed. At this time, Xu Wuniang had already picked up the childish child and held it in her arms, while Ding Jiamei and Ding Jiabao brothers and sisters were struggling with small locks left and right, and left behind the housekeeper.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Qing Shu got up, glanced at the thin boy on the chair on the left who was bowing his head and pinching the corners of his clothes, and paused as he left, "Qingyang, do you want to sit in my sister's courtyard?" ”

Gu Qingyang, the only young master in the ancient mansion, immediately raised his head when he heard this, staring at Gu Qingshu's gaze with doubt, surprise, and longing. Maybe he was too excited, his slightly pale little face flushed, and he stammered when he spoke, "Really, is it true?" Sister, sister. ”

He was a skinny boy. The eyes on the small, thin face are big and round, and they are always timid when they look at people, and their voices are also small and small, which can easily make the person who sees them feel a little pity.

Gu Qingshu's eyes softened, smiled and slowly stretched out a hand, spread out his palm, and handed it to the boy with longing in his eyes, "Sister wants to talk to Qingyang, do you want to go?" ”

Gu Qingyang's eyes instantly became bright, he jumped down from the high chair, and wanted to put his little hand into his sister's palm, but suddenly retracted again, smiled shyly, wiped his hand on the cyan robe, and then put his little hand into Gu Qingshu's white palm.

Gu Qingshu smiled lightly, gathered his palm, and held his brother's hand, "Let's go!" ”

Gu Qingyang nodded heavily, "Hmm." His emaciated, slightly pale little face was dyed with joy, and his black and white, innocent eyes were shining with sparkling eyes.

Su's mother came back to her life, and just saw the backs of the two sisters and brothers walking away hand in hand, and she was so shocked that she almost hit the pillar.

Gu Qingyang's little maid Yuanbao didn't know whether to follow or not, and when he saw Su's mother appear, he immediately stepped forward like a savior and asked for instructions, "Mother, the young master was taken to play by Miss, should I follow?" ”

Su's mother was awakened, slapped her forehead, sighed, and poked Yuanbao's forehead with her finger, "You stupid boy, don't you go up and serve, stupidly standing here as a wooden stake?" If there is something wrong with the little young master in the young lady's courtyard, hurry up and invite the little young master out to protect him, remember. ”

Yuan Bao was poked by his mother's forehead, shrunk his neck, and ran in the direction of the young lady's yard
