973 Yue Qian Dai
Li Shujun couldn't help but glance at the two of them, not to mention her, everyone in the Tonghou Mansion knew her.
One is the old man of the Hou Mansion who Shen Wangxin subdued, and the other is the henchman who follows Shen Wangxin's ass every day, Shen Wangxin.
The two of them deserve to be Shen Wangxin's right-hand men, and they have been summoned all day, and they don't even have a trace of resentment.
Li Shujun originally wanted to take the opportunity to teach the two of them a lesson and kill Shen Wangxin's arrogance. But who knew that after a whole day, the two of them didn't make any mistakes at all, and JQ told her and Aunt Wang to have no way to start.
Seeing that the time for the family banquet in the evening was coming, Li Shujun was not good at entangling with these subordinates, she glanced at Aunt Wang proudly, the mother and daughter didn't know what to do with their eyes, waved their hands, and let these people retreat.
Hong'er followed the big butler out of the main hall of the Hou Mansion.
She regards Shen Wangxin as a benefactor, and she can't hold her breath for anything related to Shen Wangxin. But she remembered Shen Wangxin's advice, and saw that the chief butler did not say a word, and was respectful from beginning to end, so she did the same.
At the end of the day, although she did not fully understand the intention of the big butler, she also felt a little in her heart, as if she had caught the tail of a naughty little beast. Just one foot at the door and pull the little beast out of the cave, and she would understand the original intention of the great butler.
The group came out of the hall of the Hou Mansion in a daze.
Just walked not far, and a few familiar housekeepers walked quickly past Hong'er and walked in front of the big housekeeper, with a complaining look on their faces.
"Big butler, we won't talk about it. But you have been in this Hou Mansion for decades, and you served the old Hou when he was alive. This Hou Mansion mentions you, which one doesn't give you a thumbs up? Their mother and daughter are not serious masters of the Hou Mansion, they are just holding a family banquet, so they can call us like dogs? ”
"That's it, I don't think they're holding a family banquet at all, but a fox and a tiger, holding chicken feathers as an arrow! I'm sorry, I've seen them unpleasantly for a long time, even when Mrs. Shizi first took over the Hou Mansion, she was never like them. ”
The chief butler smiled, shook his head, and said, "What are you talking about?" Hou Ye asked his aunt to hold a family banquet for the Hou Mansion, and we, as subordinates, should do our best to help. My aunt is also doing her best, and you are cooperating, what are you doing with so much gossip? ”
"What are we gossiping? Isn't it that Mrs. and Miss Cousin are too much? I think they just want to take advantage of the fact that Mrs. Shizi is pregnant, so they will take away the right of the housekeeper, the big housekeeper, you are old and confused, why do you still help outsiders talk? ”
The chief butler did not take their stubble until they felt bored, and then they complained and left.
Hong'er had been following behind the big butler, and after hearing the conversation between the two parties, she was even more confused.
When everyone was gone, she stepped forward and asked, "Butler, don't you think what they said is very reasonable?" Today, everyone has seen the performance of Mrs. Aunt and Miss Biao, if they really help each other, how can they deliberately play prestige? Even I can see that some things are deliberately done by them, how can you not see it? ”
Of course, the chief butler knew that Hong'er was sent to him by Shen Wangxin, and specially learned from him how to manage the affairs of the house.
He glanced in the direction the group had left, and asked with a smile, "In your opinion, are they complaining to me because my aunt has overstepped her bounds, or because they are dissatisfied because they have suffered here today?" ”
Hong'er didn't have to think about it, she knew that it was the latter.
The chief butler nodded, and then said: "They just complained to me, but they knew that they were soft-spoken, and with a few words from them, they couldn't threaten Mrs. Auntie at all, they just wanted to use us as guns, so why bother with them?" ”
Hong'er seemed to understand something, and nodded in realization. But soon, she had another question in her mind: "But if we don't care, it is difficult to ensure that Mrs. Auntie and Miss Cousin kick their noses in the face, if Mrs. Shizi loses her prestige, how many people in this Hou Mansion will be able to listen to Mrs. Shizi in the future?" ”
When the chief butler heard this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, glanced at Hong'er, and said, "You little girl is quite loyal, just let me tell you." Mrs. Shizi also knows that this group of people is obedient on the surface, but in fact, they secretly have a lot of crooked thoughts. I just want to take this opportunity to suppress and suppress them, lest they look down on the young master because they are old people in the house. ”
"I see!" Hong'er fully understood.
She chatted with the chief butler for so long, and when she looked up, she realized that it was not early.
"Oh no, the family banquet is about to start, Mrs. Shizi is in a hurry, I'll go first!" Hong'er said hurriedly.
The butler smiled and nodded, watching her disappear into the night.
When Hong'er came back, Shen Wangxin was still grooming. Since she became pregnant, rouge powder has rarely been used, and even the Qilan incense that was commonly used in the house is now useless.
Thinking that it was just a family banquet, she asked the maid to take a comfortable dress and put it on. waited until the time was about the same, and then together with Jiang Xian, they both arrived at the main hall where the family banquet was held.
