Master Lan was very angry, he never thought that Mrs. Lan would be bullied by a minion because of his ignorance.

"Old, sir, slave maid, slave maid didn't listen to anyone's orders, just because you don't want to see Madame. Because Madame always mentions the late eldest lady, you feel unlucky. That's why the slave wants to be angry for the master. "Look, this reason is actually for his good.

Master Lan glanced at Cui'er and asked, "I just entered the courtyard, where are all the people in the courtyard?" ”

Cui'er looked at Master Lan and said unhurriedly: "Back to the master, there are no people in the courtyard at all, but I didn't know what was going on before, as long as you come, the people will automatically come back to work." Wait until your front foot is gone, and their back foot is gone. ”

After Cui'er finished speaking, she fell to her knees and cried, "Master, you can't treat Madame like this, she is your wife." Madame eats this kind of meal for three meals a day. Slaves and maids really have no choice, and often secretly go out to buy something and come back. But. The monthly silver of the slave and maid is also limited, and in the last few days, they will eat the food in this house. Sir, are these really what you commanded? Did you let these subordinates torture Madame? Ever since Madame was ill, the servants have been so disrespectful to Madame. How dare they if it wasn't what you commanded? Cui'er begs you here, don't torture Madame. ”

Cui'er was out of breath crying, and Master Lan helped Cui'er up and said, "When did Master Ben order his subordinates to dare to treat Mrs. like this?" Madame is the head of the house, even if she doesn't care about the affairs of the house now, she is also the head mother. Bring all the people in the courtyard. Let the housekeeper go. "Master Lan knows that Cui'er can't call those subordinates, and it is naturally easy to do things with a housekeeper.

Soon, those subordinates were all brought into the lady's house without their knowledge.

Master Lan was not ambiguous at all, and said coldly: "Beat this Mama Li to eighty boards, and then drive him out of the Lan Mansion." ”

Mama Li was dumbfounded when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Master, the slave doesn't dare anymore, beg the master to spare her life." Master, the slave doesn't dare. ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly called over, and the two of them drove Mama Li and pressed down on the bench, and the crackling board was greeted.

Mama Li, who was in pain, screamed, and to the end, there was no sound anymore. It was directly dragged and thrown out of the house.

And those subordinates in the courtyard were all subjected to forty boards, so that they could remember it for a long time. The next time you dare to be disrespectful to your wife, it will not be forty boards, but directly killed and thrown into a mass grave.

There were more than a dozen of them, and they were all trembling with fright.

Madame Lan sat there quietly, even if there was such a big movement in the courtyard, she never came out to take a look.

Master Lan felt a pain in his heart, so he walked in, looked at his wife and said, "Madam, I've hurt you." I really don't know that they are so bold as to do this to you. ”

Mrs. Lan didn't get angry, but smiled and said gently: "The concubine knows that this is not the master's idea, so she doesn't blame the master." It's only those minions who speculate in vain about the master's heart that such a thing will happen, and since you have already punished it, this matter is over. ”

When Master Lan heard this, he sighed, and then said, "Forget it today, and go to the front hall for dinner in the future." These minions should also be beaten, and when the time comes, Master Ben will discuss with Mrs. Zhi whether to hand over the middle feed in the house or let you take care of it. ”

Madam Lan shook her head, and then said softly, "Master, I know you feel sorry for me. But now is not the time, and in the morning, I am also a little impulsive. You have spoken, even if I am not in charge of the house, I am still the head of the house, your wife. Come to think of it, they don't dare anymore. These days, my sister takes good care of the house, and since I got sick, I'm lazy. I don't want to worry about the affairs of the house, and it's good to live so easily. Master, you don't have to talk to your sister about this. As long as the master has a concubine in his heart, the sins of the concubine are not in vain. After Mrs. Lan finished speaking, she hurriedly asked Cui'er to come in first and prepare some food. After all, it's past dinner now, and Master Lan is still teaching the minions here with her.

"Madam, Cui'er doesn't dare to go to the kitchen." Cui'er said timidly.

"Cui'er, why don't you dare go to the kitchen?" Master Lan asked puzzled.

"Every time Cui'er goes to the kitchen, she is sneered at, and sometimes, she beats the slave and maid. Say yes, count the cooking money. In the past, Cui'er didn't dare to say it, because she was afraid that her wife would be sad. Now I know that the lord will make decisions for my wife, so Cui'er has to say. Cui'er lowered her head and muttered.

When Master Lan heard this, he shouted loudly: "Butler, you go to the kitchen in person and tell them to prepare a meal for Master Ben and send it to Madame's yard." Then let the steward come over in person, and don't say a word about the situation here. ”

"Yes." The butler glanced at the food on Madame's table, and his face became unpleasant.

These subordinates, who gave them the guts. Mrs. is the lord's wife, when in Xuzhou, the lord has always been very affectionate and respectful to Mrs. How could they make so much trouble?

The butler shook his head, and went straight to the kitchen. Presumably, the Blue Mansion is going to turn the sky upside down today.

After listening to the housekeeper's instructions in the kitchen, the meal was soon ready, and the steward personally delivered it.

"Master, the meal is ready." The steward smiled flatteringly, and then said.

"Well, bring it up." There was no superfluous expression on Old Man Lan's face, and after the steward listened to the order, he asked his subordinates to bring the food.

After the dishes were served, all the people withdrew.

The steward smiled slightly, and then said, "Master, the dishes are ready, and the small ones have also gone down." ”

Without Master Lan's orders, he didn't dare to move, just quietly waited for Master Lan to speak.

Old Man Lan looked at the food on the table and sneered, so frightened that the steward trembled.

On the table, there are six dishes and one soup neatly placed, all of which are fresh and hot. It was completely different from the food that Master Lan had seen when he came in before, no wonder Master Lan was angry. It turned out that what Cui'er said was true, as long as he came to Madame's courtyard, the subordinates would prepare meals for Madame Lan according to the normal portions. If he doesn't show up, then the food is not as good as the next person?

Old Man Lan slapped on the table with a 'snap', and saw that the soup on the table was shaken and rippled.

What happened in Madame's yard today, no one dared to spread it, and the steward naturally didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Old Man Lan was angry, he could only stand there without saying a word.

"Steward Sun, you are not small. Ben had just come to Madame's yard, and when he saw the food on her table, he prepared to eat together. As a result, Mrs. disagreed, and when she called, it was actually some rancid rice and vegetables. Master Ben didn't know that the lady of the Blue Mansion actually ate all this. I thought that the Blue Mansion would no longer be able to open the pot. Aren't you ready to explain the explanation? Master Lan said coldly.

"Huh? Impossible. Madame's meals have always been four dishes and one soup, how can it be a rancid meal? "How could the steward admit that he dared to say the matter of eating rancid rice and vegetables for the lady of the main room of the Lan Mansion.

"Hmph, Cui'er, bring that box up." Old Man Lan said angrily.

After listening to Master Lan's instructions, Cui'er brought the box containing the food to the table. As soon as I opened the lunch box, the rancid smell came out. The steward also frowned slightly, the smell was too big.

"Steward Sun, do you mean that Master Ben has wronged you? Okay, if you think this food tastes good, then eat it in front of Lord Ben and Mrs. Ben. Master Ben gave you all the food of his wife, and you are not grateful? Master Lan was very annoyed, it turned out that during this time, he didn't care about Mrs. Lan's mood, but he didn't treat Mrs. Lan harshly on food and clothing. Who knows, these subordinates are so powerful.

When Steward Sun heard this, he knew that Master Lan was going to support his wife, so he hurriedly knelt down in fright.

He kept begging for mercy and said, "Master, the master is wrong." The slave didn't dare anymore, but the slave did it when he was instructed to do it, if someone didn't tell the slave, it would be a dare to give the slave, and the slave wouldn't dare to do it. ”

"Huh? You mean you were told to do that? There are no more than five people in this house who can call you. Tell me who is so bold to let you be Mrs. Jian? Master Lan shouted coldly.

"Yes, it was ordered by Xiang'er beside Mrs. Zhi." Steward Sun wilted and soon sold Xiang'er.

"Xiang'er? What a girl next to Mrs. Zhi said, do you obey your words? Old Man Lan glanced at him and asked in obvious disbelief.

"Master, the slave thought, since Miss Xiang'er came to order it herself, then it must be Mrs. Zhi's order, the slave didn't think much about it, and always thought that Miss Xiang'er was sent by Mrs. Zhi. Therefore, the minions did not dare not disobey her orders. The steward said aggrievedly.

"Hehe, good, all of them are very good. Steward, scold Steward Sun with eighty canes, and then throw them out. Old Man Lan trembled angrily, and directly asked the housekeeper to deal with Steward Sun.

When Steward Sun heard this, he realized the seriousness of the matter, which was to drive himself out of the house. His status in the Blue Mansion is not low, his salary is also very high, and he can usually make some oil and water. If this is beaten and thrown out, where will it make money?

He knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, this one was exactly the same as that Mama Li.

Originally, Master Lan didn't want to talk nonsense, but when he saw him like this, he said coldly: "What qualifications do you have to beg for mercy?" I heard that Cui'er in Madame's yard went to the kitchen to get food, and because she didn't have any money, she beat it? Said it was for the food? When did the Blue Mansion have such a rule, when the master eats, he still needs to buy food with silver from your minion? It was the first time that Master Ben had heard that there were such rules in the Blue Mansion. You are glad that you have been in the Blue House for many years. Otherwise, Master Ben will ask the butler to send someone to beat you to death. Old Man Lan glared at him and said fiercely.

The housekeeper didn't give Steward Sun another chance to speak, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and dragged it out.

Master Lan let everyone out, and then knelt down in front of Mrs. Lan and said, "Madam, I'm sorry for you." ”

Mrs. Lan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly helped up Master Lan, and said, "Master, what are you doing here, isn't this a joke?" How can you kneel for me? We are husband and wife, and you can understand what you do. Since this matter was not instructed by the master, the concubine body cannot blame the master. ”

When Master Lan heard Mrs. Lan speak so gently, he felt a little uncomfortable. I always feel that since my wife came back from Aoyama Temple, it has changed a lot, in short, it is a strange feeling.
