Although they are all slaves of the Lin family, it is obvious that these slaves are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The husband and wife are expensive, and the slave follows the master, which is also very practical in the small circle of the Lin family.

However, your slave is also a slave, the master spoke, and the little guy who could be arranged to guard the door in the study was not stupid, so he hurriedly pounced on Cui Qiao and pressed Cui Qiao to the ground, and then I don't know who pulled the sweat towel on his body to block Cui Qiao's mouth, and then divided two people to press Cui Qiao towards the main courtyard.

After Cui Qiao's trouble, Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai were not in the mood to continue practicing calligraphy, and they had to be calm to practice calligraphy. Fortunately, the task given to them today by Master Lin has been completed, so they simply don't write it.

Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai have gotten along well recently, if there are other things, the two may be able to gossip a few words with each other, but the matter involves the big girl in Lin Ruhai's house, so naturally there is no way and no gossip.

But Lin Liu was still full of curiosity about this, and he didn't know what was going on, so Cui Qiao would be like this.

Without waiting for him to think about how to inquire about this, when he returned to his yard, he saw his nurse Zhang Shengjia with her waist crossed and reprimanded the servants in his yard like a dominatrix.

"What's the matter, if someone does something wrong, mom just punish them, why bother?" Lin Liu frowned slightly, such a big battle, don't you really think he is not high-profile enough.

Lin Liu came back, Zhang Sheng's family was naturally in no mood to reprimand people, so they welcomed Lin Liu in first, and then let people disperse after two cruel words, and let the big girl wait for Lin Liu to change clothes. She explained on the side: "The second master doesn't know, my wife suddenly let people out of the house today, and many of them are old servants in the house. ”

Lin Liu raised his eyebrows, to be able to get the title of "old servant", it is not possible to be a servant in the Lin family for one or two decades, then at least three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been servants in the Lin family. In other words, these people are the sons of the Lin family, and they are well-connected among the slaves of the Lin family, and they may still have a little power in their hands.

"This is the grace of the old lady, and it has nothing to do with my mother reprimanding people, could it be that someone in my yard was released by Mrs. Kai'en, and some people are envious and want to be let out by Kai'en?" Lin Liu: This is definitely the opposite.

Who can be an old servant is happy to be suddenly let out by Kai Grace! There is no one who has suddenly been crossed by some human rights-oriented people.

Zhang Sheng's family knew the ins and outs of this, so he almost laughed out loud because of Lin Liu's words, and said with a smile: "How can they, they can't wait to serve the second master for a lifetime." "That's the big truth.

In this era, the common people have a word called "grass people", a mustard-like life.

Think about it, even Feng Yuan, the son of the eunuch family, was beaten to death by Xue Pan, and no one dared to take over after the Feng family sued for a year, and finally it was over, although there are reasons why the four major families are powerful, but it can also be seen what life the people at the bottom of this era are living.

Thinking about these old servants of the Lin family, let's not talk about corruption or not, being a slave in the Lin family is not to mention food, shelter and clothing, and they have monthly money every month, and they are old servants who have served the elders of the Lin family, generally as long as they don't make mistakes, neither Master Lin nor Mrs. Lin will dispose of them casually, let alone sell them casually.

But when you go out, it's ordinary people, not to mention all kinds of expenses, even if you become a character who can be stepped on by others anytime and anywhere, not everyone can get mixed up to the point where the Lai family asked the Jia family to come forward to donate officials to their grandson Lai Shangrong.

Zhang Sheng's family didn't sell much guanzi, and he didn't shy away from saying that there were other people in the house, because sooner or later this matter would spread throughout the Lin family.

"I heard that the first one my wife wants to release is the uncle's nurse Wang Fujia." Zhang Shengjia said a little gloatingly.

Lin Liu suddenly realized at this time, no wonder Cui Qiao made trouble, so it was, but this incident made Lin Liu have new doubts, "Okay, what did my mother do when she let the eldest brother's nurse out." ”

With a family background like theirs, it is indeed necessary to regularly gracious to clear out some old servants to prevent the people below from colluding with the slave to bully the master, but on this list of "open graces", it is generally impossible to have a nurse's family, unless something big happens.

According to Lin Liu's understanding, there was a nurse beside him who was let out by Kai En before he crossed over, that was because the nurse was a good gambler, and after losing the bet, she actually stole things from Lin Liu's house, and was caught red-handed and stabbed to Mrs. Lin, and the result was naturally that Mrs. Lin let her family out of Kai En. After all, even if Mrs. Lin didn't want Lin Liu to have a chance, she wouldn't put such a gambling nurse who everyone knew by Lin Liu's side, that would be too obvious, and if Master Lin knew about it, he would definitely have an opinion on her.

Zhang Shengjia snorted lightly and sneered: "What is good, the second master doesn't know, the Wang Fu family is bold, not only embezzled the things in the uncle's house, but also opened a shop outside under the banner of the Lin family, forced to buy and sell, and was sued to the master." ”

Lin Liu was taken aback when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "This should be sent to the yamen!" ”

Forced buying and selling was not a noun in ancient times, it must be a verb, Lin Liu estimated that since someone dared to stab the matter to Master Lin, it was definitely not a trivial matter, and it was not necessary to be involved in any life lawsuit, such a thing should not be dealt with quietly, because that would damage the reputation of the Lin family, and reputation was a benefit for literati. Therefore, the correct way should be to send it to the yamen and sever the relationship, so what does the Wang Fu family have to do with the Lin family, and they can't play kissing and hiding for such a servant.

Zhang Shengjia pursed his lips and smiled, "The second master is right, but this Wang Fu's family is the uncle's nurse, in the end, the uncle has eaten her milk, and the wife has to give some face." ”

Lin Liu heard the meaning of Zhang Sheng's words, this is to make his wife sing red face, and let the servants in the house feel at ease, their Lin family is not ungrateful. As for what the Gusu prefect's yamen will do with them after the Wang Fu family is released, it is not something that the Lin family can manage.

Does anyone see through Master Lin and Mrs. Lin's approach?

Of course there is, and even the vast majority of the Lin family understands this, so it's no wonder that Cui Qiao dog jumped off the wall in a hurry.

"In that case, my mother also ordered me to go down, and the people in my yard should not chew this tongue, if I heard it, let someone send it directly to my mother." After thinking about it, Lin Liu said again: "Mom has a lot of experience, it's not that Hongzhen and Baizhi can compare, and my yard has to be managed by Mother Lao." ”
