Chapter 8: Driving People Out

Que'er couldn't hide something in her eyes, and Mother Zhang understood at a glance that the fourth lady already knew that she had set her trap, in fact, half of the reason why she came here in person today was for this matter. So she sat down again, and looked at the fourth young lady calmly, to see how she was going to take care of herself.

However, Rong Jin said gently: "It's really hard for my mother to run by herself, I don't know why my wife suddenly sent me another messenger?" My yard is already small, and it is enough to have a few maids," he said, untying a blue and white fish-shaped purse from his waist.

"A few days ago, Mrs. was busy with the accounts on the Zhuangzi, and she didn't take care of the fourth miss, but now she is free, and I remember that there are fewer people serving here, and there are nine people serving around the third miss, so you should be as regulated as her, so I sent it again."

Of course, Zhang's mother won't tell her that the few people who were transferred over before were the most lazy and idle, and there was Lao Ziniang who was not easy to get out of the house, and now it was Mrs. who saw her facing herself in front of the old lady, so she was pitiful that she sent her a few people who listened to the call, but the red sleeves were not only to serve her.

Rong Jin suddenly realized, took out a long time from his purse, and finally took out three taels of silver, handed it to Zhang's mother, and smiled sincerely, "Mrs. cares about me, I will go to Mrs. Xie tomorrow, but Mother Zhang ran away, and I have to thank Mother Zhang, I don't have much silver here, you can take this." ”

"No, no, no, Miss, you have tormented the old slave, how dare the old slave ask for Miss's silver," Zhang's mother hurriedly excused herself.

"Is there too little mother?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Then you take it!" Rong Jin forced the silver into her arms, smiling on her face, but her heart was dripping blood, she had saved six taels of silver in the past six months, and gave half of it to this mother, didn't she cut her flesh?

"What do you have to say about the fourth miss?" Zhang's mother couldn't help it, so she had to accept the money and take out the amount of money.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that it's just a matter in my yard, and it's a waste to have too many maids, so I want to ask Zhang's mother to take back a few arrangements to go elsewhere, so that people can make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things," Rong Jin looked at Zhang's mother with a pair of moist apricot eyes, innocent, but Zhang's mother saw the sophistication that was deeply hidden from these eyes.

Mother Zhang's experience over the years has also become a fine practice, how can she not understand what she means? She hurriedly said: "Since the fourth young lady is too suspicious, the old slave will pick a few and send them elsewhere, and then return to his wife." ”

Rong Jin thanked him again and again.

In fact, Rong Jin couldn't tell if Mrs. sent someone over again to see how good she was in Wanshoutang, but she still wanted to hurt her, but what she could be sure of was that the previous ones were not good, they were old oils that had rolled in the oil pot, and they didn't move, they still loved to make trouble, and there were people to support them, so they had to go back a few. And Rong Jin saw that after Zhang's mother sat down, she spoke and acted very measuredly, and she would never be disrespectful because she was a concubine, so she gave this few pieces of silver, presumably she would also do things well.

"Actually, these maids are just bought and trained, but unlike some old oilers who have a lot of experience, they are the most easy to discipline, and the red sleeves are first-class girls, so it will not be wrong for her to manage the yard, it is also the fourth lady's skill, how good the shuttlecock is made, the second girl and his wife liked it, so they sent someone here," Zhang's mother mentioned again.

Rong Jin immediately understood the meaning of her words, she thought that these newly sent maids were second-class maids, but they turned out to be fledgling and unequal, so give them a second-class name to others, and see how much she Zhu has a heart for concubines!

But Rong Jin doesn't mind, the new is good, and the background is clean.

Then a green-clothed maid quietly entered the door carrying a pot full of tea, her head was lowered, and she wanted to shrink herself to the ground so that no one could see her, but the two of them in the room did not speak, and the sound of the water jet hitting the teacup when she made tea was particularly loud.

"Didn't Miss Fourth let her make tea in the painting? Which one are you? Mother Zhang glanced at the servant slowly.

"Slave maid...... Slave Vanilla," Vanilla presented the freshly brewed tea to Zhang's mother, and the tea soup flowed with her hand.

"How did you learn the rules of this girl, Miss is in front, you present this tea to me, do you say I will accept it or not?" Mother Zhang smiled sarcastically at the corner of her mouth, staring at vanilla coldly.

Vanilla's face was not colored, and she hurriedly turned around and presented the tea cup to Rong Jin, her hands trembling even more, "Miss, slave maid...... The slave forgot the rules for a while, and hoped that the young lady would forgive her sins. ”

Rong Jin sighed in her heart that this power is really a good thing, who would have thought that the maid who dared to throw her face at her yesterday would be scared like a little white rabbit because of Zhang's mother's words, and she couldn't kneel down for her?

People are about to be taken away, and she can't make any moths out of a few words, so Rong Jin didn't go to pick up the teacup, but said with a smile: "The rules naturally can't be forgotten, even if I forget the rules, Mother Meng has to whip it, you forget the rules, how can you pass with a few words of begging for mercy?" Mother Zhang, why don't you take it back and let her learn more? ”

Zhang's mother cooperated with her head and said, "That's right," and then pointed to the vanilla, and said solemnly: "Go, call the others over, I have something to ask!" ”

There was a commotion in the side room, and the few who were hiding from eavesdropping came tremblingly.

There were three green-clothed women and a mother-in-law, lined up in a row, with their heads lower than the other, and they couldn't wait to be lower to their heels.

Mother Zhang got up and faced a few people, holding a cup in her right hand, and said with a smile: "I have been making a pot of tea for two quarters of an hour, and when you make tea, won't everyone be thirsty to death?" With that, he slammed the teacup on the mahogany table, and the tea splashed everywhere.

When the new servants heard this, their legs trembled with fright. Rong Jin's heart also twitched for a moment, after returning to the Lin Mansion, this was the first time she had seen the discipline maid, when she was in the Xu family before, there were very few servants in the house, and when she encountered something, she dragged it out to play the board, and there was never such a battle.

"Whose job is it to boil water and make tea?" Zhang's mother asked in a deep voice.

The maids were already shaking like chaff, the hands standing on the far right side of the painting sleeve cage were tightly clenched, gritted their teeth, and their right legs tried to stand out, and suddenly a servant beside her replied: "It's into the painting." ”

"Have you spoken?" Zhang's mother walked up to the servant. She was immediately silenced, her knees limped, and she fell to her knees with a thud.

The sound was brittle, and the bones were broken.

Mother Zhang glanced at the painting in a cold sweat on the side, straightened her waist, and said sharply: "Each performs its own duties, and is responsible for it, you can't understand this rule in the painting, you are the old lady's side, you can't lose her old man's face!" ”

The picture was so red that she almost dripped blood, a drop of sweat ran down her cheeks from the corner of her forehead, and she gritted her teeth and spit out a few words: "Yes, the slave understands." ”

"You guys go pack up and go out with me, don't be embarrassed in Yimei Courtyard!" Mother Zhang glanced coldly at the other three slaves.

How dare they say no, stand up on their knees, and run out when they stand......

The door was pushed open, and the cool breeze blew, Rong Jin's hot blood almost jumped to the door of her head before it cooled down, and she exhaled deeply, excitement and pleasure poured out of her bones. She has long wanted to discipline these slaves and maids, and now there is Mother Zhang, which can be regarded as a bad mouth, and her three taels of silver are really worth it!

As soon as the maids went out, Zhang's mother changed her face again, squatted at Rong Jin, and said that the fourth lady smiled, and then retreated.

This is a scene that Zhang's mother herself didn't expect, she thought that the fourth lady would question her because of the pheasant feather, she had already thought about how to deal with it, but she didn't think that this young lady was very good, didn't ask a word, and gave her three taels of silver.

In fact, she is a person who takes care of the accounts for his wife, and she really doesn't like three taels of silver, but she just cheated someone before, but now she has received her silver, or she doesn't want to help with this, she can't help it, of course, these four young ladies are well-born, polite and polite, and very appetizing to her.

There was Zhang's mother waiting outside, and a few maids were cleaned up very quickly, but a cup of tea followed, and there was some reluctance when leaving, after all, I couldn't find such an idle errand in the future.

Among the old people, only the painting remains, she is the maid given to Rong Jin by the old lady earlier, and Zhang's mother is not good at taking people away.

In fact, it was not that the old lady valued Rong Jin and sent someone to her, but when she just returned home, everything didn't work, Lin Qian wanted the old lady to send a competent teacher to teach her, and the old lady didn't care too much, so she pointed at random, pointed to the painting and sent it over.

Rong Jin is now sitting on the chaise longue, sipping tea slowly and leisurely, looking at a few bunches of morning glory climbing up the windowsill.

This time it's the same as the last time, the maid sent the deed but didn't give it, so in the end, he can't be their master.

"Miss," the finch entered the door, and the wind was blowing under her feet, and she stepped forward and said, "That mother is really majestic!" In a few words, he trained the vanilla so that he didn't dare to reply, and took them away, and our yard will be quiet in the future! ”

Rong Jin put down the teacup and said thoughtfully: "It's a lot quieter, but how long you can be quiet still depends on the red sleeves and paintings." ”

Finch scratched her head, her thick black eyebrows frowned, and she said disdainfully: "What about these two?" Next time, you will also learn from Zhang's mother, and if you scold people, won't they be honest? ”

Rong Jin sneered and knocked on her head, "Can it be the same if I scold a few words and Mother Zhang's scolding a few words?" ”

Naturally it's different, otherwise would she be guilty of selling her a few cursed words for three taels of silver?

The finch rubbed her forehead, her eyes flashed, and she asked again: "The slave almost forgot, the pheasant feather...... Have you asked Zhang's mother? Did she do it on purpose? ”

"Didn't ask," Rong Jin let out a long yawn.

"Why didn't the young lady ask?"

"The pheasant feather was given to me by the second sister, what does it have to do with Mother Zhang?" Rong Jin smiled meaningfully, immediately got up and walked to the shelf bed, and yawned and said: "No, I stayed up too late to make those shuttlecocks yesterday, and I don't need dinner today, you can settle down first when you are there," After saying that, he stepped on the silk shoes embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns and entwined branches, and got into the quilt without even taking off his clothes.
