Chapter 5: Stirring up the Masses
On the second day, Ji Yanning got up early, and was eating breakfast after freshening up.
"Miss, Steward Wu is here. Shiso walked in and reported.
Ji Yanning put down the spoon in his hand, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Let him in." ”
Wu Geng glanced at the extra few guards and maids guarding the door in the courtyard, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he stepped into the room.
"Miss. Wu Geng stepped forward and bowed to Ji Yanning, "Miss, is she better?"
Ji Yanning looked up at him, the man in front of him was about thirty or forty years old, wearing a blue-gray brocade robe, looking very respectful, because she looked up at her, she could also see Steward Wu's bloodshot eyes, looking very tired.
Ziyu said that Steward Wu was rescued by Ji Yanning's father, so he has done his best for Dafang over the years.
She smiled and said, "It's already fine, Uncle Wu don't worry." ”
Ji Yanning listened to his slight relieved voice, and then listened to him say, "That's good." ”
"Uncle Wu, bring me all the account books. Ji Yanning said.
Wu Geng raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yanning, a little surprised, but quickly recovered his expression and said, "Yes, Miss should also learn to manage business, I will have someone bring all the account books over to Miss in the afternoon." ”
He looked at Ji Yanning who was sitting quietly in front of him, wearing plain clothes, and there was no other headdress on her head except a white plain flower, her eyes were calm, but she was not godless, she looked like a different person.
But also, her parents died suddenly, and she and her brother almost lost their lives, how can her temperament still be as willful as before?
After Steward Wu left, Ji Yanning walked towards Ji Lang's courtyard under the leadership of Ziyu, and she wanted to go to the old lady with Ji Lang to say goodbye.
Ji Lang's yard was not far from where she was, and it was only a few steps away.
It's just that before he entered the courtyard, Ji Yanning heard the sound of conversation in the courtyard.
"I don't believe it, Uncle Wu is very good to me and my sister, my father said that Uncle Wu is a person who can be trusted!"
A mother-in-law's voice said: "Young master, you can't say that, although Steward Wu is good, he is also an outsider, only the surname Ji is your relatives, and they will be good to you." ”
"No, the fourth brother likes to bully me. ”
"But the third master and the third lady are still good to the young master, and they will send you things every day, right?"
"This ...... My sister is the best for me. ”
"That's natural, but the eldest lady is just a girl's family, sooner or later she will have to get married, and if she marries, she won't be a member of the Ji family, and she can't take care of you all the time. ”
"No, my sister will always be with me. ”
"Young master, you are now that the master and the lady are gone, you have to listen to the words of the third master and the third lady, after all, they are really good to you, and the eldest lady's good to you is only a temporary ......"
Hearing that these subordinates were chewing on the root of their tongues, Ziyu frowned, and was about to go in and scold, but saw Ji Yanning beside him walk straight in.
"What Mama said, I don't know if I think this is the courtyard of the third room!" Ji Yanning looked coldly at Mama beside Ji Lang, and a chill appeared all over her body.
When the grandmother saw Ji Yanning standing in the courtyard, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Miss." ”
"Sister!" Seeing Ji Yanning standing in front of him, Ji Lang was very happy, rushed towards her, and hugged her.
Ji Yanning bent down and touched his head.
Ji Lang was the first person she saw after she woke up, she was in a daze at that time, but she saw a meat ball that pounced on her body and kept crying so that she didn't want to die, crying hoarsely, very sad.
Maybe he understands his fear and fear, or maybe he is the only younger brother of the original owner, and the original owner died to save him, so Ji Yanning is very attentive to Ji Lang.
He is only seven years old, he still doesn't understand many things, and in the face of the death of his parents and the almost death of his sister, he must be extremely confused and scared.
Those people in the third room dared to pay attention to such a little child! Ji Yanning's eyes flashed a fierce color.
She took Ji Lang's small hand and walked to the grandmother who was kneeling on the ground.
"Palm. Ji Yanning said coldly.
Before Ziyu stepped forward, the grandmother had already slapped herself hard: "The old slave should die! The old slave shouldn't say these things to the young master! The old slave cares too much about the young master to say such nonsense!"
After only a few strokes, her face was already swollen, and it seemed that she was indeed ruthless.
The people in the courtyard didn't dare to come out, and the eldest lady stood there, unmoved, looking terrible!
Ji Yanning's gaze swept towards the people in the courtyard, and those people immediately lowered their heads.
She said, "Sell the human hair." ”
Hearing that Mama was going to be sold, everyone's eyes widened.
Generally speaking, when people make mistakes, most of them are sent to Zhuangzi, unless they make a big mistake, they will be sold, and Mama just said a few words for Sanfang in front of the young master, and they were sold!
The grandmother was even more dumbfounded, and hurriedly kowtowed to Ji Yanning: "Miss, the old slave knows that it's wrong! The old slave really knows it's wrong, please let the old slave have a way out, the old slave has been in the Ji family for more than ten years, even if there is no credit, there is hard work! What's more, the slave's family is all on errand in the Ji family, how do you want the old slave to see them in the future!"
Ji Yanning frowned slightly, as if he had listened to her words.
Seeing her hesitating, Mama was about to cry more miserably, but she didn't expect to hear Ji Yanning continue to speak.
"Since it's a child, then sell your whole family together. ”
Ji Yanning's words were like a thunderbolt, scaring everyone a lot, the grandmother collapsed to the ground and continued to beg for mercy, but Ji Yanning had already let people drag her down, leaving only her crying and admitting her mistake The sound seemed to be echoing in everyone's ears.
It's really ...... to sell the whole family It was so heartless that the rest of the people lowered their heads even deeper.
Ji Yanning looked at them and said, "In the future, who dares to talk nonsense in front of the young master, or accept the benefits of someone, but think about it carefully, who is your master in the end? If Miss Ben finds out again, it will be more than just selling it." ”
Her tone was cold, and she said every word very clearly, and her voice was thin and chilling.
"The minions don't dare!" said the men in the courtyard in unison.
Ji Yanning looked at them like this, didn't say anything, took Ji Lang's hand and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
Seeing the eldest lady and the young master leave the courtyard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they still had palpitations.
