Chapter 10: The Slave and the Maid (II)
Slave Maid (II)
The lotus branch was more steady, only fiddling with the silver dancao sachet tied around the waist and did not speak, and the lotus leaf was more straightforward and smiling, "The slave said, don't blame the lady girl." ”
"There really is such a master, and the slave and maid have nothing to say when they meet, just keep their own loyalty...... But to say do your best and do things seriously...... That's unwilling. ”
"That's exactly what happened." Shen nodded and hugged An Cheng.
"If it's your fault in this matter, then you should have thought of making up for them early, it's too late to do it now." Shen warned the daughter in his arms, "Now that I think about it, you are too negligent as the master. ”
"Besides, it is to compensate them, and there is no fanfare to give money to people, you must know that I personally ordered them to be beaten and thrown out, and if you do this, won't it make people think that you are dissatisfied with my words?"
Shen originally wanted to say, I am your mother-in-law, I won't think much about it, if I marry someone in my mother-in-law's house in the future...... But my daughter is too young now, and I was afraid that I would talk frivolously in the future after hearing such words, so I swallowed it and didn't say it.
"Besides, you were at fault, but how old were you? It's only three years old, what can you tell the difference? But those little girls are still in my room, they dare to deceive and conceal them, in order to please you, they know that they are wrong, and they dare to coax you! ”
"If you blindly sell candy, why didn't anyone else tell me? I haven't found out for so long, is it because I was lying to you that you were young or that you didn't care about it? ”
Shen said that An Cheng was even more ashamed, she was not three years old at that time.
"Mother...... "An Cheng rarely calls it that." The tenth sister also understands etiquette at the age of three, and those little girls are not much older than me, and now that they are like this, I really don't want to go. ”
"I'm the one who caused them." An Cheng pulled Shen's sleeve, she wouldn't be coquettish, but she had seen An Mei do this to Zheng Nanniang.
"Forget it...... "It's the first time for the Shen family to have such treatment here in Ancheng, and they can't stand it, and their hearts turn into spring water in the wet eyes of their little daughter.
"Since you say so...... "It's rare for the little daughter to beg herself, and Shen wants her to be happy."
"It's unlikely that the old man will come back again, it's useless to leave that house, wait for us to settle down in the capital, so we will ask someone to sell it, and those little maids will follow to Beijing, and then arrange work."
An Cheng was not at ease, "Where is the arrangement?" "Still following the mother-in-law outside the second gate?
Shen glanced at An Cheng, "You still want them to enter the main courtyard?" Or is it waiting for you? ”
An Cheng shook his head, this must not work, not to mention that it was not driven out and sent back, but there is, this one is out and one in, An Cheng is not very relieved.
It's one thing to feel guilty, it's another to worry.
Seeing An Cheng simply shaking his head, Shen relieved his heart, "Let them go to Zhuangzi in the future, it must be hard but there are not too many rules, and the Zhuangzi with a lot of oil and water, their hands are much more relaxed, and then on the way to Beijing, I will allocate more silver to them." ”
"I also have ...... in my hand" An Cheng said urgently, but gradually silenced under Shen's gaze.
"What's wrong with you, kid?" Shen looked at her suspiciously, "Did someone say something?" ”
Otherwise, how can they stand up for them, and they will give silver?
Is this too much to compensate?
"No, not really." If Shen is suspicious again, the unlucky one is Su Xin Huixin.
Seeing that An Cheng didn't seem to be dead, Shen simply said it thoroughly, first glanced at the lotus leaves and lotus branches, and the two slaves knew that they had something to say in their private rooms, so they got out of the car very understandingly.
"Why, do you feel uneasy about your conscience if you don't do something?"
An Cheng nodded, "Hmm......" After all, she is an adult, and they are just children.
"This person was born into three, six, nine and so on, for example, we are masters, they are slaves, and then in Beijing, some people are born princesses, county lords, we are just courtiers and courtiers." It's better to tell Sister Cheng about these things earlier.
"The duty of a slave is to take care of the master, the master must help what he does right, and the wrong thing that the master does must be stopped, and we, the masters, there are higher people above, higher heavens, and we must also guard our duty for them, help those who should help, and stop those who should stop."
"The master is not good, the slave and the maid are guilty, and we will also be affected by the people above." Those princes who compete for the throne, don't they win or lose a group of courtiers who take the lives of the whole family to accompany them? Of course, this cannot be said.
"But the master is not good, if the slave and maid don't take it to heart, follow the crowd, if it's not good, it will go with him, this is not good for the slave and maid, it is not keeping their duty, not having the same heart with the master, for the master, it is not able to control it, and it has not cultivated a henchman."
"They have no future, and the reason why they don't know how to be slaves is because they don't know how to be slaves." Children are ignorant, they have to teach everything, and they have their own truths.
"I promised you to make amends, because they don't know how to follow the rules, why don't you be the master without you?"
"Sister Cheng, now you have to know how to control it, you should be kind to be treated, you should be strict and strict, and if you meet someone higher than you in the future, you must also guard your duty."
Shen was afraid that he would say too much, and An Cheng couldn't understand it, but he didn't expect An Cheng to listen to it as if he was fascinated.
What Shen said is the law of survival in this era, the master is wrong, and the slave and maid failed to remind and block, so the slave and maid are punished.
The princess was wrong, it was the courtiers around her who failed to admonish, and it was the courtiers who were punished.
Layer after layer, everyone is in this layer, under the big slave is the small slave and the maid, and under the big master is the small master.
But are those princesses and county lords at ease?
Not necessarily.
The border has been fighting for many years, and they have repeatedly made peace with each other, and they are the ones who go.
Today, she has nothing to say about others, he is affected by others, An Cheng has no complaints, this is the law of this society, and no one is an outlier.
Shen's words, the gentle tone is wrapped in indifferent truth, and the distinction between classes is naked, clear and habitual.
If An Cheng insists on going her own way, it will be "wrong" again, and the slaves and maids around her will be punished again.
I don't know why, the more An Cheng thought about it, the more she felt cold, and finally she had a cold shiver, which provoked Shen to hug her tightly, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." An Cheng felt that in ancient times, he might be a little unadaptable.
She wanted to adapt to the life of ancient times, with unprecedented urgency, so that she could ignore the discomfort in her heart.
Follow Shen's thinking, like the Shen family she has always wanted to learn, live as a daughter who abides by her duties and is comprehensive in all aspects, and advances and retreats.
She really didn't want to implicate anyone else.
I really don't want to be an outlier anymore.
"Mrs......" An Cheng hugged Shen, suppressed the feeling in his heart, and said as usual, "I'm sleepy." ”
