Section 66 Chapter 59 House by House
"What is Mr. Lin talking about, he actually made his grandmother so happy, and he quickly made a dream talk, and the dream language was so filial piety." When she was far away, Mengyu heard a hearty laugh of the old lady reaching her ears. Mengyu stepped over the threshold of Xile Ju and walked into the house.
"Three girls, you're here, Manager Lin is telling me about your performance in the conference hall today!" The old lady's face was full of smiles that could not be hidden, and when she saw Mengyu, the crow's feet wrinkled with this smile were deeper.
"It turns out that Mr. Lin is making fun of his dream language and making his grandmother happy." Mengyu walked behind the old lady and said to Manager Lin with a smile.
"The third lady is really wrong to blame the old slave, the old slave is to calm the old lady's heart, and deliberately told the old lady about the third miss, and I hope that the third miss will forgive her." Manager Lin stood up and saluted the Dream Language.
Mengyu was just a casual joke, but it attracted such a serious answer from Manager Lin, which was really boring, so he didn't say much to Manager Lin, and complained to the old lady: "Grandmother, look at this Steward Lin, Mengyu is just a joke." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Is it the first time you know that Mr. Lin behaves like this?" even joked with him. ”
Mengyu smiled and said to Manager Lin's blessing body: "That's Mengyu's rudeness, please don't blame Manager Lin." ”
Manager Lin hurriedly dodged sideways, and said, "The third lady is too polite, it's all the old slave's fault. ”
"Okay, okay, Mengyu is a junior, Lin An, you also saved her father's life, even if you accept her gift, it's not impossible."
"The old lady's words are the birthday of the old slave." Manager Lin said respectfully to the old lady again.
The old lady no longer said much about this matter, and said to Mengyu with a smile: "Just now, Manager Lin has already told me about your handling of the matter of 100 acres, and my grandmother is very comforted. ”
"Grandmother is wrong." Mengyu humbly bowed her head and replied.
"You don't need to be overly modest, you did handle this matter very well." The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
"Although Baimu has been punished, but the final execution, Mengyu thought about it again and again, and still felt that it was more appropriate to let the grandmother punish herself."
"Oh? Why? The old lady asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Mengyu felt that after all, the dead old Bai manager had been a cow and a horse for so many years for our Lin family. Although he had never seen Mengyu, he often heard the old lady mention how he was faithful during his lifetime. Although his son is an uncompetitive character, he must also look at the thin side of the old white manager and consider it carefully. First, for the spirit of the old man in the sky, and second, there are still many old people in the mansion, even if they have not made great contributions to the Lin Mansion, but after so many years in the Lin Mansion, there is still hard work. Do not break the hearts of these people. Dream Yu thought for a moment and confided all the thoughts in his heart.
"It's hard for you to be so thoughtful at such a young age. In the future, I don't have to worry about you not being able to handle the affairs of the house, if you think how to have the best effect, you don't have to come to me to ask, just deal with it yourself. The smile on the old lady's face widened.
"How to deal with the 100 acres thing?" The 100-acre incident, after all, there are still many people in the house. If it is not handled properly, it is possible to cause serious resistance from the subordinates. Maybe they won't say anything in front of your master, but in private, outside the house, it's hard to say.
"What you said just now is right, you must not hurt the hearts of those old people in the mansion, after all, if the hearts of the people are scattered, the momentum in the mansion will naturally plummet every day. If there is collusion with outsiders, it is even more difficult to prevent. With that, the old lady sighed, stood up, and said, "Let's go, come with me to the firewood room to have a look." ”
Mengyu stepped forward, helped the old lady, and went out of Xile House, and Manager Lin followed closely.
The two mothers-in-law guarding the door of the firewood room saw that the old lady was present in person, so they knelt down and saluted without saying anything.
"Get up, and open the locks." The old lady raised her hand and said.
When the two mothers-in-law got up, one of them opened the heavy lock. Before the old lady could speak, Baimu had already knelt down from the firewood room, lay at the feet of the old lady, and said with tears on her face: "Old lady, the villain knows that he is wrong, and the villain really knows that he is wrong." The mournful cry, combined with the messy hair and dirty clothes of Baimu, really made those who heard it sad and those who saw it wept.
Although the old lady knew what kind of person this hundred acres was, after all, when Mr. Bai was alive, the old lady often saw his precious son, so it can be said that the hundred acres grew up under the nose of the old lady since childhood. When I was a child, the hundred acres would also be pleasing, and I was rewarded by the old lady. But who knows, the cute doll at that time turned out to be an ungrateful villain when she grew up. Although the old lady's eyes were slightly moved, her face was still expressionless: "Do you really know that you are wrong?" Then tell me what you did wrong. ”
Baimu knew that this was his only chance, so he immediately kowtowed to the old lady and said: "Baimu has been taught by the old lady and the old lady since he was a child, and he will never forget it. It's just that after the death of his father, there was no one to protect the villain, and the villain had no power or power among these people, and he suffered from the white eyes and bullying of the people who had old grudges with his father. Later, fortunately, the old lady raised her love and gave the villain the position of the second head of the house. It's just that the power is great, and naturally someone will send money, and the villain will also shirk at first, but later more and more people, thinking about what they asked, were just doing it easily, and it was not a big deal, so they took it. Who knew that the villain's mind was uncertain, and he was dazzled by the white silver, it was the villain who was too greedy in his heart, the villain was despicable and shameless, it was the villain who failed the old lady, and it was the villain who ......" At the beginning of the hundred acres, he wiped his tears while saying, and later, he began to slap himself. The cheeks are flushed, and the slap prints on them are clearly visible.
"Alright, let's stop." The old lady spoke, but in her words, she couldn't tell whether she was moved by the hundred acres.
After Baimu slapped a few more times, he stopped, raised his head slightly and prepared to peek at what the old lady's expression was, and he had a lot to plan. As soon as he looked up, he found that the old lady was looking at him without blinking. He hurriedly lowered his head, knelt down a few steps forward, hugged the old lady's leg and said, "Old lady, the villain really knows that he is wrong, you have a lot of adults who spare the villain." ”
The old lady took two steps back, and Baimu didn't dare to continue to mess around, so she had to cry and kowtow to the old lady one by one.
"Since you all know where you are wrong, you used to be the second head of the house, what if someone deceives the master, embezzles silver taels, and violates the family rules?" Just when Baimu thought that he had planted it this time, the old lady finally spoke.
Baimu thought that the old lady was giving herself a chance, but should she say something serious to win sympathy? Or should you say a little bit to free yourself? After thinking for a while, Baimu decided whether it was the former: "If you go back to the old lady, according to the family rules of the Lin Mansion, if someone is found to be doing this, it will naturally be a fifty battle, confiscate all the family property, and if there are family members in the house, notify the person to sell all the teeth." If the steward level acts in this way, after the above punishment is over, it will be sent to the government for punishment as a punishment. Hundred acres said fiercely. The more ruthless you are to yourself, the more you can show the sincerity of your regret, and then the old lady will be more moved.
Who knows, all this is just Baimu's own inner thoughts, and it has nothing to do with the old lady, but the old lady continued to say without emotion: "Since you know everything, I don't need to talk to you in detail." You said let me read in your father's face and spare you. But next time, if a situation like yours arises again, how can I convince the public? What are the rules of this Lin Mansion? Don't say that I don't show mercy, I'll read it for your father's sake, and I won't send you to the official. It's just that you left the gate of this Lin Mansion today, and from now on, you have nothing to do with my Lin Mansion, even if you starve to death at the gate of the Lin Mansion, I will definitely not have the slightest soft-heartedness and reward you with a bite of food. I hope you will be able to do it yourself in the future. ”
After speaking, the old lady didn't look at the hundred acres, and threw up her sleeves and left. Baimu was paralyzed on the ground, and Mengyu instructed the subordinate next to him who was about to be punished with a cane: "Whatever the old lady says, you will execute." As for the money account room, I will hand it over to the chief manager of Lin to dispose of it in accordance with the rules of the Lin Mansion. After speaking, Mengyu also left with the old lady, she knew that the old lady at this time must still be a little sad in her heart.
In the future, 100 acres will come out of this Lin Mansion compound, what will happen, it will naturally be a matter of the future.
