185 Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
Early the next morning, Wang Jingshu urged Caiyu to take the 5,500 taels of silver tickets taken from the treasury to go to the prefecture and the prefect with A Guang, thinking of returning the money.
After the master urged, Cai Yu no longer persuaded deeply, so he went with Ah Guang with the silver ticket.
Not long after, Pinxi knocked on the door, "Master, Miss Rong is here to greet you." ”
At this moment, Wang Jingshu was changing her clothes, and she was just about to go out of the house for breakfast, but she was unintentionally splashed with water by a little maid, so the clothes were about to be changed again. "Tell her to go directly to the left room and wait for a meal together."
"Yes."
She changed into a peach-colored big-sleeved shirt under Pin Wei's service, and suddenly remembered the things in the palace, "This dress was still added in the palace." When I wore it for the first time, the queen mother said that the color was beautiful. ”
"I want the servant to say, where the clothes are good-looking, it is clear that the master is good-looking." Pin Wei straightened the hem of her skirt and replied, "The master is good-looking, and he looks good in everything." ”
"Where am I good-looking, you haven't seen the good-looking people in the palace......" As soon as the words fell, Wang Jingshu suddenly closed her mouth, because she found that she was also nostalgic for the days in the palace in the past, and how long had she been out of the palace. When I was in the palace, I always thought about how free I should be when I left the imperial city, but when I was in the palace of King Ning, I would think of the people and things in the past, and I didn't know if the queen mother was good in the palace? As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw that Youxiao was squinting and was about to fall asleep and standing there straight, so I felt a little funny, and immediately coughed lightly, "It is said that spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, and if someone is sleepy, go to sleep." ”
"Ah......" Pinxi and Pinxiu both secretly looked at Youxiao, who was embarrassed to be sleepy again, and called Youxiao even more embarrassed, it was really a mistake to be sleepy in front of the little girls, how to discipline them in the future. simply argued to the end, "Who is sleepy... Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to be sleepy in front of his master......"
insisted on creating the appearance that he was not sleepy, which really amused Wang Jingshu, who was originally a little annoyed. Listening to the princess's laughter, Xiao Xiao spoke again, "Oh, master, this dress is very good for you... It is said that people are matched with clothes, and if I want to say that clothes are matched with people, this clothes are really more and more lined with it when worn on the master with a good face, otherwise the clothes will be dull. ”
Wang Jingshu listened to her sweet words, how could she look like a woman who was once meticulous, and no one would believe her when she said it. "Alright, you don't play tricks. Come with me to dinner, Ruofen is waiting there. ”
Youxiao immediately stepped forward to help Wang Jingshu walk out, and as soon as he opened the door of the house, he saw that the maid who had no intention of splashing water on the princess knelt on the ground, begging the princess for forgiveness.
In fact, it's not that Wang Jingshu wants to punish her, this is what you know, in charge of all the maids, her words must be implemented by the maids. A little maid walked inappropriately and splashed a basin of cold water on the princess, even if she was unintentional, she had to be punished, otherwise how should the entire main courtyard be taken care of, and how should the entire Ning Wangfu be taken care of?
Before Wang Jingshu could speak, she reprimanded her first, "Where are your eyes, and you dare to collide with your master?" If you are in the palace, this kind of behavior will be severely punished by the Shang Palace Bureau. The master is benevolent and virtuous, and he is punished and kneeling, otherwise he must be punished by the rules of the Shang Palace Bureau! ”
Frightened, the little girl kowtowed and begged for mercy.
She looked wet all over, and Wang Jingshu couldn't bear it in her heart, but she also knew that this Ning Wangfu had just begun, and all the rules and regulations of the body and etiquette and even the family rules had to be erected. If you don't do a good job at the beginning, in the end, the people will not care, and then the entire palace will be in chaos. "If you have no intention, then you will be punished by kneeling for half an hour to set an example. Walk well in the future and don't rush around. If you bump into something important in the future, even your master and I can't protect you. ”
Half an hour is not a long time... It's over.
"Pinyin, don't hurry up and thank the princess for her kindness!" In Youxiao's eyes, half an hour's punishment of kneeling is really not much, she was just a palace maid when she did something wrong, and an hour's punishment of kneeling is still light.
But for Pinyin, it is a very heavy punishment, especially since she has just entered the palace, she is the only one among the third-class maids who has been punished at present, I am afraid that there will be many people who laugh at her. Yesterday, she was still glad that she was selected by Cai Yu Youxiao to serve in the main courtyard, but she was about to be punished for one night. She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, pulling the hem of the princess's skirt hard, hoping that the princess would not punish her.
Wang Jingshu ignored the little maid's pleading, but instead looked at Youxiao on the side, "Her name is Pinyin?" Is it a phonetic word for a rhythm? ”
Xiao remembered this again, she didn't agree, there was already a sprinkling of pin cherry in the main courtyard, if you call Pin Yin again, I'm afraid of chaos, "Exactly!" The phonetics are set by herself. ”
Wang Jingshu looked down at Pinyin again, "Why do you decide on this word?" ”
Pinyin stopped begging, she felt that her opportunity had come, and knelt on the ground respectfully and replied, "Back to the princess, the maid is good at music, and she was fortunate to learn the pipa, guzheng and dulcimer." ”
Pipa, Guzheng, Yangqin......
As everyone's beautiful girl, Wang Jingshu has only learned the surface of the music and rhythm, although it is difficult to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is only slightly interested in the guzheng. "Then this main courtyard is really condescending to you, why bother to be a third-class maid......" added, "Raise your head and let me see." ”
Pinyin raised her eyes slightly, not daring to look at the princess directly. Wang Jingshu saw it and immediately decided, "In the future, I will be a musician in Ning Wangfu, it is too condescending to be a third-class maid." ”
Pinyin knows in her heart that being a musician doesn't have to be as hard as a third-class maid, and her food and clothing are comparable to that of a second-class maid. How this is a good deal, "Thank you princess, thank you princess for your love!" ”
"Don't rush Princess Xie Ben, I didn't exempt you from kneeling." Wang Jingshu really appreciates talent, but I didn't expect a little maid to also learn those elegant things, but the rules are still rules, and the two can't be confused, "Kneel for half an hour and get up again." ”
"In addition, I am the only master in this palace now, and I don't like to listen to music, so now you can only work as a third-class maid. In the future, there will be more musicians in the palace, and you will play music for the masters with those musicians. ”
This is undoubtedly a painting cake to satisfy her hunger, giving Pinyin hope and instantly disappointing her. This time, even the prince has not arrived in Pingzhou, and then in the future...... There are too many variables during this period.
After a while, Wang Jingshu turned around and went to the left room, followed by Pinyin Pinxiu Pinxi, leaving Pinyin kneeling on the ground.
Alone, she was shivering by the wind, although it was late spring, but at this time it was cold in spring, and it was in the north, and sometimes this season was as cold as winter.
Whoever told her to make a mistake can only be punished......
Dripping in the past, but Pinyin felt that this half hour was as long as a year, and she was so cold that she couldn't stand it. The wind blew in gusts, and it was bitterly cold to her.
At this moment, Wang Jingshu was having breakfast in the left room, ordered the maids to close the door, and sighed, "The cold spring in the north is really cold." ”
"It's very cold," Rong Ruofen followed, and then said, "Auntie, the kneeling maid over there, did she commit a crime?" It's so cold that she's going to freeze. ”
"She's on her knees." Wang Jingshu stared at Rong Ruofen carefully, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished." In this palace, everyone is the same, regardless of whether it is the master or the maid's family......"
This is to warn Rong Ruofen that it is best not to interfere in some things, and never be arrogant in the palace just because he is a junior. She doesn't have that qualification, no one has that qualification.
Rong Ruofen understood, so she never mentioned the matter.
The wind is getting stronger. Wang Jingshu was about to get up after breakfast, but she heard Rong Ruofen say, "Auntie, please do well." Ruyu will be my first-class maid, and that grandmother doesn't have to be invited. ”
Originally, Wang Jingshu decided that Ruyu was a second-class maid, and asked Youxiao to order the change of name. Why, she didn't make it? looked at Youxiao on the side, "What, you didn't do this?" ”
Youxiao suddenly lowered her head, and she couldn't answer. In fact, she is also very embarrassed, no matter how Rong girl is, she is half a master, no matter how much she is better than their subordinates. If she insists on not letting Ruyu change her name, what can she do?
Wang Jingshu guessed that it must be Ruofen's obstruction, so it didn't work, and warned Rong Ruofen again. This is a clear statement, "Since you live in the palace, then you will rarely see the prince and those concubines in the future, and the number of rituals must be sufficient, so as not to make others look down on your mansion." I have asked Caiyu to find the mama who respects the rules to teach you, and I have also assigned you three little maids to serve you daily. As for Ruyu beside you, she has to change her name to be a second-class maid, if you don't want to change your name, you will be sent out of the palace! This is the rule of the palace, the second-class maid and the third-class maid have to change their names, and if you don't want to change your name, don't go into the palace to do things! ”
"The first-class maids around me have all worked in the palace, and everyone knows that the palace is the most hierarchical. Youxiao used to be a female history, and Caiyu was carefully accompanied from the time I was a girl to the palace and then followed to Pingzhou, and Qingyun also came out of the palace. Looking at them, they are the people I trust the most, and they are the only ones who are qualified to become the big girls in the main courtyard. As for the Ruyu beside you, not only are the rules not as good as them, but also the things are even worse, I am determined to be a second-class maid for your sake, and if you are dissatisfied, then set a third-class girl. How is it? ”
The princess warned Rong Ruofen in public in front of many maids, causing her to lose face, and Ruyu behind her was even more ashamed for a while. And the other maids were a little more cautious, after all, this princess didn't even give her junior face, if she offended her, wouldn't it be very bad......
Wang Jingshu no longer gave her any time to speak, took Youxiao's hand, and went to the main room, seeing Pinyin still kneeling there and trembling, she couldn't bear it after all, "Okay, get up, be careful next time, don't do anything wrong again." There are rules in the palace. ”
"Thank you, Princess, thank you Princess."
Pinyin stood up with the help of Pinxiu, and Wang Jingshu motioned to Youxiao to put a thin cloak on her and send her back to the room. Then he went into the house by himself.
Today's play, killing chickens and monkeys, Wang Jingshu is still very satisfied with the results.
Unexpectedly, at night, someone hanged himself, and after checking, he realized that it was Ruyu.
