Chapter 16: Rectifying the Backyard (1)

Song Li bowed his head, his gaze stopped on Aunt Gu's face for a moment, and looked away in disgust.

is another woman who does not let people worry.

"Aunt Gu, just wait, Miss has her own arrangements." Yingyue responded without being humble or arrogant.

After almost recognizing all the people in the house, Song Li walked to the door slowly, looked at everyone with a squint, cleared his throat and said, "Let everyone wait for a long time." ”

"Don't dare."

The crowd replied in unison.

When Aunt Gu saw Song Li come out, a little impatience appeared on her fair face, and she said in a strange manner: "I don't know why the eldest lady summoned us here and hung it out?" ”

Song Li left Aunt Gu behind, her voice was a little cold, "The Liu family is still soaking in the lake, do you want to be with her too?" ”

Aunt Gu's expression froze, she didn't expect Song Li to be so straightforward and not give face at all, her face instantly became ugly, "How dare you, it's just that the concubine thinks that although you are the eldest daughter, you are a junior in the end, and it is really unreasonable to treat the elders like this, I am also for your own good, you only returned to the capital, if it is spread out, it will be detrimental to your reputation." ”

"There's no need to bother Aunt Gu to worry about this, just shut up and stand up." Song took a step forward, also standing in the sun, looking at Aunt Gu without squinting, "I don't like people buzzing like flies on the side when I speak, understand?" ”

Although Song Li's face was as usual, the momentum that flowed out of his body for a moment made Aunt Gu a little afraid, but relying on the favor of Grandpa Guo, she had no fear, "The concubine understands, but Grandpa Guo's favorite is the face of the concubine, if he is sunburned, he will be sad." Aunt Gu pretended to be shy and bowed her head, holding a handkerchief in both hands to hand it over.

"Mama Lu, pull her down and slap her mouth! I'm going to see if my father will do anything to me if I hurt her face! ”

Song Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with Aunt Gu, and directly ordered Mama Lu.

"Yes Miss!" Mama Lu stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Gu's arm.

Aunt Gu struggled desperately, a pair of beautiful eyes glared at Song Li viciously, and the steps on her head clanked, "Song Li, you dare, I am a noble concubine appointed by Grandpa Guo, what qualifications do you have to beat me!" Besides, you're still a junior! ”

"Hit!" Song Li said categorically.

"Smack-"

Mama Lu's eyes were quick, and she hit Aunt Gu's face with her right hand, and the force was so great that Aunt Gu's fair-skinned face couldn't see that a red palm print instantly appeared on her face that she was over thirty-five years old.

"Eligibility? My Song Li's two words are qualifications. Song Li walked up to Aunt Gu and looked at her condescendingly, bursting out with a terrifying momentum on her body, "Mama Lu is now in the mansion, you are old and prestigious, you come to tell Aunt Gu if I have this qualification?" ”

"Miss, of course!" Mama Lu lowered her head and said loudly.

"Uncle Cheng." She pointed out the housekeeper Song Cheng again.

Song Cheng took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, "Before the master left Beijing, he instructed his subordinates that after the young lady returned to the house, the whole house would be in charge of the son and the young lady, and the younger one would assist with Mama Lu, so ......" Song Cheng changed his words and continued meaningfully: "Miss naturally has this qualification." ”

Song Li nodded with satisfaction, waved Song Cheng away, looked around and returned to Aunt Gu, "Be a man, you still have to be interesting." ”

Aunt Gu covered her face, her face was pale and pale, she was very good-looking, hatred flowed in her eyebrows, and finally she bowed her head and responded shallowly, "Yes, I listen to the arrangement of the eldest lady." ”

"Song Yu, go and pick up the Liu family and bring it over."

"Yes." Song Yu turned to leave, and after a while, he returned with Liu, who was covered in wet and messy hair.

"Get a blanket for the Liu family." The Liu family is the master of the first courtyard in the end, and it is really inappropriate to expose his body to everyone's eyes like this.

Jin Se quickly hugged a blanket and covered Liu's body, and when Song Li saw this, he spoke slowly.

"Originally, I didn't want to interfere in the affairs of this backyard, but if I don't rectify it, maybe I will poke out some basket in the future, Liu's words and deeds are not right, bad conduct, many years of relying on my father's favor and stewardship, bullying things in the backyard, bad habits are difficult to write, it is really difficult to be competent to be in charge of the family, and now I will take the decision to strip her of the right to be in charge of the family, do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads, and even more people who had been oppressed by the Liu family all year round seconded the proposal.

"Nope."

"Nope!"

"Lady Wise!"

Song Li waved his hand, stopping everyone's high emotions and continued: "I have just returned to Beijing and I am not familiar with many things in the house, I will comprehensively consider selecting the most suitable candidate from several aunts, and the candidate will be announced tomorrow morning at the latest." She said, looking at Liu, "You'll pack up and get ready to hand over later." ”

Liu's hand holding the blanket tightened, unwilling and wanted to protest several times, but thinking of Song Li's resolute attitude and had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, she took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Seeing the Liu family put away her fangs, Song Li was quite surprised, she thought that the Liu family would not let go of the power of the family so easily, and thought of killing chickens and monkeys to use her to beat those servants with different intentions, but now that she was so obedient, she had to put away the thoughts in her heart.

"For the government's system, I will not change it for the time being, and everyone will continue to do their part step by step. Later, I will make corresponding changes to some unreasonable systems with my observations, and Uncle Cheng is still solely responsible for the affairs of the front yard. She nodded at Song Cheng, and then looked at Mama Lu, "The matter in the backyard will be handed over to Mama Lu and Qingtang Jinse for the time being, if you can't make up your mind, you can come to me, if I am not there, I will discuss with Mama Yu and Mama Qing by my grandmother's side, and then that person will be responsible after the election of the head of the family." ”

"Yes!"

Mama Lu and the three of them saluted together.

"I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, and I like to pull out thorns, if I let me know that someone is fishing in troubled waters, or bullying others, relying on the old and selling the old directly, you don't try to challenge my bottom line, I have a way to clean you up."

Her gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, and finally lingered on a few of them for a moment as if in a warning, and then suddenly sneered.

The people who received her gaze lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her, as if they had been seen through at this glance.

"Let's all step down and do their jobs, a few aunts stay, I have something to discuss with you."

When the subordinates heard the words, Song Li sent Yingyue to lead several aunts into the house, and pulled Song Cheng and Mama Lu aside, "I haven't been in the house for many years, and I don't know anything about the personalities of your aunts, I don't know what good proposals Uncle Cheng and Mama Lu have?" ”

Song Cheng has been by the side of Lao Guogong since he was a child, and was later promoted to a housekeeper, and he is quite prestigious in the house. And Mama Lu is her mother's dowry maid, and she is also very respected in the house, the two have been in the house for decades, and they know more about the people and things in the house, and it is good to listen to the opinions of the two properly.

But neither of them seemed to want to get involved in this matter, and shook their heads and said, "I listen to the arrangement of the young lady, and my subordinates don't dare to talk much." ”

Seeing this, Song Li had no choice but to let Song Cheng leave first, and he took Mama Lu back to the house.

In the house, together with the immortal heart wrapped in wet clothes, waiting to see who is in charge of the family, the eight aunts, including the Liu family, all sat down, waiting for Song Li to speak.

Song Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his eyes fell on the faces of several aunts in turn to analyze their faces.

Aunt Gu is a favored aunt after the Liu family, born in a Jiangnan family, it stands to reason that the power of the family should fall on her head, but she is not willing to admit defeat by nature, she loves to be competitive, her vanity is too strong, and the power of the family falls on her head, and she has unintentionally achieved the second Liu family.

At this time, she was looking forward to it, and kept glancing at Song Li, but Song Li ignored it.

The second is Aunt Zhu of the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion in the east courtyard, the younger sister of Dali Siqing, who was born with a good appearance, a quiet personality, and does not like to compete. Yingyue once mentioned to her that she is not a suitable candidate, she has been suppressed by the Liu family all the year round, and she has long lost her fighting spirit, if she is in charge of the family, she will not be able to control the arrogant and domineering Liu family and the Gu family who are supported by the family.

She looked at the third place again, Aunt Pan in the Cutting Wind Pavilion in the east courtyard, Aunt Pan is the oldest of many aunts, and she is also the longest concubine by the side of Grandpa Guo, she has a son and a daughter, her personality is similar to that of Aunt Zhu, and she is also a character that does not fight or grab, but she is a little more bloody than Aunt Zhu.

Because his father insisted on sending Song Huaixi to the military camp, he moved out of the Cutting Wind Pavilion with the two-year-old sixth lady Song Yunjing, and did not talk to his father for several years, even if he encountered difficulties from the Liu family, he never stretched out his hands to his father for help.

She also took great care of her when she was a child, and Pan was the most suitable person in her heart.

The rest are either too low, have a bad family background, or are ambitious, and they are not suitable candidates.

In the end, she decided to take the case and decide that it would be Pan and Zhu, Pan has brains and blood, and is not afraid of Liu and Gu. The Zhu family has a family background and is delicate, and the two of them join forces with her support, and they are not afraid of any big baskets.

The Liu clan and the Gu clan instantly stood up in opposition.

"The concubine has objections!" The two glanced at each other, and Gu was the first to speak.

Pan and Zhu looked coldly at the two like clowns jumping off the beam, and felt a little funny, the two who were tearing apart at the beginning were now united in battle.

"If there is any objection, give you a chance to perform." Song Li glanced at Gu Shi lightly, tilted his head and fiddled with the saucer in front of him and said casually.

A hint of joy flashed in Gu's eyes, he cleared his throat, and pointed out the shortcomings and shortcomings of the Pan family and the Zhu family one by one, "Sister Pan is too old, it is inevitable that she has a bad memory, and Sister Zhu has a weak personality, she is in charge of the two of them, I don't know what it will look like in this house!" ”

She said righteously, only to see Song Li nodding her head without a match, mistakenly thinking that Song Li had listened to her words, and continued: "The concubine thinks ah, I am the most suitable person to be in charge of the family, I was born in Jiangnan and my family has been doing business for generations, and my ability to do business is definitely stronger than Sister Pan and Sister Zhu. ”
