38 Hold the money
At this time, the night was already dark, and there was probably only Youfu in Fugu County that was still brightly lit and noisy. However, these voices are almost all coming from the rooms. Elsewhere, although there are lights and figures, there is no sound.
The people on Renyi Street are all stamping their feet, walking back and forth, or simply hiding in the shelter under the corner, huddled together, shivering.
In the courtyard of Youfu, there are about four or five dishes on a table, but there are many people sitting. Shrinking his hands in his sleeves, he waited helplessly.
In the past, some people left the table early, and You Fu thought that it was disrespectful to them, and in the end, they found trouble and ruined other people's families. With this lesson, no one dared to leave the table early after that.
On the side of the lobby of You Mansion, You Dagui was full of red drinks, and his interest was very high. But when he saw the steward appear at the door out of the corner of his eye, he confessed and went into the back hall by himself.
As soon as the steward came over, You Dagui hurriedly asked, "How is it, but the account is settled?" ”
The steward knew what You Dagui cared about, lowered his head, and hurriedly replied, "Master, the number of people eating in the open air this time has increased by 10%. So in terms of income, it's about 20% less than last time! ”
"What?" You Dagui shouted, and his face, which was still red just now, suddenly turned cold, "This group of iron roosters, since they like to drink the northwest wind, let them spend another hour and let them remember it for a long time." ”
"The old man is wise, I expect that they will never dare to be stingy with that money next time!" When the steward heard this, he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, raised his thumb, and patted his ass.
You Dagui still didn't have a good face, and said hatefully: "Grandma's, the imperial court hasn't paid military salaries for three years, and Lao Tzu wants to raise so many families, is it easy!" ”
When the steward heard this, he thought in his heart that two-thirds of the fertile land in Fugu County was occupied by Youfu, and it was not easy to raise these families!
However, when he spoke, he showed a look of hatred for the enemy, and said with hatred: "That is, this year, there has been a mutiny in Jizhen for nearly a month since July 12, isn't it caused by the imperial court's refusal to pay military salaries!" ”
When You Dagui heard this, he stared at him, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "Grandma, I provoked Lao Tzu, and I will also play a play for them." ”
This was a bit scary, and the steward didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand by default.
"Go, tell Judah that this year's harvest is not good, and that ten of them will be eliminated from the house, and that they will choose the ten worst! In addition, except for the ten people headed by them, the rest of the people will be reduced by one percent of the monthly silver. After You Dagui finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the back hall with a gloomy face.
The steward had no choice, so he could only go to the side courtyard to convey You Dagui's words as he said.
"What? The monthly silver is already so low, and it will be reduced again? When You Liu heard this, he immediately jumped up and asked.
The steward was helpless, but it was better for them to reduce it than to reduce it themselves, so he explained lukewarmly: "The master is also forced to do so, if you work harder and force those untouchables to pay more money and food, it will not reduce your monthly silver!" ”
You Da is in the barracks, and You Er is the boss in this room, and he cares about another aspect: "Did the master say that the ten people eliminated must be from which team?" ”
The steward shook his head, he was a little impatient: "I didn't say it, I just need you to hand over the ten worst ones." Leave! ”
After saying that, he patted his ass and left, knowing that there would be a commotion in the house soon.
Sure enough, before he walked out of the courtyard, he heard a quarrel slapping the table and roaring from inside, as if You Liuyou Qi had the loudest voice and was fighting-for-tat.
The backyard, which is a little far from this side yard, has not been transmitted here despite all the noise in front. It's quiet, as if it's two worlds away from the front yard.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound, as if some porcelain had been broken, and at the same time, a coquettish shout came out, breaking the silence: "Get out, when did the old lady promise him that he was especially expensive, don't go!" ”
A few heads poked out of the next few embroidery rooms with the sound, and after looking at them, they immediately shrank back, gossiping about the news to their masters.
"Miss, then Ulan refuses to go to the front yard and is losing his temper!"
"This slut also deserves to serve the master with us, waiting for the master to clean her up and teach her a hard lesson!"
"Miss is right, this kind of barbarian born in the grassland doesn't have the appearance of a lady, it's far worse than Miss, and I don't know what the master likes about her!"
"The master is blinded by lard, and he wants a broken shoe!"
“……”
Similar discussions were muttered in You Dagui's many concubines' rooms, but the voices were not loud, for fear of being heard by Ulan.
Because they had already seen how powerful Ulan was during the day, when Ulan was just brought to the backyard, the seventh concubine happened to meet her, and said a few cold words, but Ulan directly stepped forward and punched her in the face, and the force was so great that she was directly knocked to the ground.
The seventh concubine couldn't beat Ulan, so she went to the old man's side to cry and complain, but the old man laughed, and there was no punishment.
With this example, these concubines can naturally only lower their voices and gossip behind their backs.
"Wow" footsteps, two maids who came to pick up Ulan went downstairs and went to the front yard, obviously to tell You Dagui.
Ulan was dressed in a new cotton coat at this time, and he had lost his spicy atmosphere, with a trace of sadness on his face, and walked to the window to look at the crescent moon in the sky.
I don't know how Yaya is, is the owner okay? Uncle also said that he would come to save himself!
Thinking of this, Ulan showed a wry smile, he grew up watching Hu Guang, what kind of ability he has, how could he not know! I don't know why I was obsessed with ghosts at that time and actually believed him.
At this time, he should be in prison, and I don't know what happened to him? With his cowardly character, I'm afraid he will be bullied by the jailers and other prisoners, right?
Ulan thought for a while, and suddenly burst into tears silently. Although the original family was a little poor and miserable, he was very happy. But now, this home is gone. In my life, I'm afraid I'll never see Yaya again, and I won't be able to see the head of the house.
All of this is caused by You Dagui. At this time, Ulan had already understood the cause and effect of the whole thing.
Thinking of this, the hand in her sleeve shook the scissors that she had secretly hidden, and knew in her heart that although the two maids were driven away just now, Na You Dagui actually held a wedding banquet today, and he would definitely send someone over to urge him to go out to meet the guests.
If you don't do it, You Dagui may come over in person. Hmph, if You Dagui forces himself again and dares to use force, the old lady will castrate him, which can be regarded as venting for this family!
Ulan didn't expect that Hu Guang not only did not get bullied, but killed the jailer, was about to escape from prison, and came to save her. It's just that now, in trouble, he is leading the selected elite to crouch at the end of the corridor behind the door, looking at the door.
Suddenly, Hu Guang's brows furrowed, and he realized that things didn't seem to be as he imagined.
