Chapter 385: Reward instead of punishment
The housekeeper is worried that the incident at the east window of Shunzi will affect him, although the person who left Shunzi is Nalan Jin, but the person who brought Shunzi into the house is the housekeeper.
It makes sense that the housekeeper will be affected.
The housekeeper was in a hurry to help Shunzi apologize, but it was unexpected by Nalan Jin. Looking at the housekeeper's sincere appearance, Nalan Jin almost believed that Junzi was innocent.
"This ...... The butler is suddenly like this, where do you start? Nalan Jin said with a smile.
"Miss, don't be sloppy, even if you do such a thing, even if you don't pursue it, I feel shameless. Although I am not related to him by blood, after all, he is my relative, and his fault is my fault. ”
The housekeeper sincerely expressed his sincerest apologies to Nalan Jin. There are also some complicated emotions in the verbal expression. The tears on his face were enough to explain the panic in his heart.
Nalan Jin sounded very strange, and when she warned Junzi, there was no one over there at all.
And it is impossible for her to beat the gong and drum and tell the housekeeper about this matter, and Shunzi is a thief, let alone mention it.
But Nalan Jin taught Shunzi a lesson, and before he could burn half the incense, the housekeeper hurriedly came, and if someone hadn't reported the news, it would have been really haunted.
"What did Junko do wrong?" Nalan Jin deliberately pretended not to know anything and looked at the housekeeper, "I just reminded him casually, the housekeeper is so timely, and he knows it clearly, he really deserves to be a housekeeper, and there are many eyes and ears in this mansion!" ”
Nalan Jin stood up and walked in front of the housekeeper, ostensibly as if he was praising him, but in fact he was picking on the thorns.
The housekeeper will be caught by Nalan Jin if he is not careful, and he will be liquidated ruthlessly, and he will not let go if he comes out first.
"I misunderstood, Miss didn't know. Since the old man's incident, I have strengthened the precautions in the house. So I will know what is going on, and naturally I will not miss the matter of the straight. ”
Cold sweat broke out on the butler's weak forehead, and he replied again and again, while constantly wiping his sweat. The sweat on the palms of the hands and the dust left on the hands can be rubbed with mud.
Nalan Jin inadvertently, he could see the housekeeper's trembling body, his body unconsciously pulling back, and his feet were in the direction of the door.
"Oh, it's my villain's heart that lives in the belly of a gentleman. The hard housekeeper has worked hard, and he will do his best in the future. ”
Nalan Jin nodded thoughtfully, knowing that the housekeeper was perfunctory, but she still didn't pierce this layer of window paper.
"Doing things for the house, this is also the old man's love for me." The butler squeezed out a smile in embarrassment.
Nalan Jin drank silently at the table, and she didn't respond positively to the housekeeper's apology, and she couldn't even talk.
The housekeeper can't get any tone from Nalan Jin at all, is he punishing Shunzi, or is he not to blame in the past?
Just in case, do the trick of killing two birds with one stone.
The housekeeper let Liu'er go out, all of which criticized her negative impact, and even took out the previous dismissal of Lin Dacheng to talk about it.
Let all the people in Nalan Mansion think that Nalan Jin is charitable and benevolent on the surface, but in fact he is an out-and-out bitter person.
Such public opinion spread up and down the mansion in an instant, and Nalan Jin's image completely collapsed.
Where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and a few maids have nothing to do, so they like to be in groups of three or five and get together.
"I really can't see that Miss is such a person."
"Don't talk nonsense, I've been in the house for so many years, and I've never seen Miss mistreat any of my subordinates."
"It's also about what kind of person the Lin family mother and son are, don't we know yet? I firmly believe that Mademoiselle is not that kind of person. ”
"I believe it too."
Thanks to Nalan Jin, who is usually not thin on these subordinates in the mansion. In this eventful autumn, they are still willing to stand up and say a word for Nalan Jin.
But this is only a part of the subordinates, and some of the subordinates who were bought by the housekeeper poured dirty water on Nalan Jin.
Dongfang Yi originally wanted to comfort Nalan Jin after hearing about it, but seeing that Nalan Jin looked indifferent, he knew that he was too worried.
I was able to deal with the refugees with peace of mind.
The housekeeper deliberately used the power of public opinion to ask Nalan Jinjin questions, hoping to know her true thoughts.
"These subordinates have nothing to do when they are full all day long, so they like to talk about the master's affairs." The housekeeper took advantage of the matter of reporting the account book to Nalan Jin, "Actually, the young lady doesn't have to take it too seriously, if he does something wrong, he should be punished, and he doesn't have to care about what his subordinates say." ”
Nalan Jin looked at the ledger unhurriedly, glanced at the housekeeper next to him from time to time, and saw the anxiety in his heart from his hands placed in a panic.
"The butler is more and more at speculating about other people's intentions. When did I say I'm going to punish a straight? Nalan Jin closed the ledger, "The housekeeper kept reminding me not to listen to the rumors of my subordinates. But you yourself listened to the words of your subordinates, and thought that I was going to punish the straight. ”
The housekeeper looked at Nalan Jin with wooden eyes, if he knew Nalan Jin's character well before, but at this moment, he couldn't see through Nalan Jin at all.
"What do you mean, Miss?" The housekeeper couldn't help but ask again.
"Instead of chastifying him, I will praise him." Nalan Jin's words made the housekeeper even more confused, "He has already apologized to me before. For the sake of his mistakes and can be corrected, the merits and demerits are offset, go to the account room and get a few taels of silver for him to buy him a few good-looking outfits. ”
Nalan Jin's reward was even more painful than punishing Junzi.
The housekeeper was much relieved when he heard this, and according to Nalan Jin's meaning, he dressed up Shunzi in a decent manner, and walked in the mansion as a small person with status.
This move is among the people. It has established a lot of prestige. Let those who believe be more convinced, and let those who are indecisive and always suspicious surrender.
It can be said that the whole Nalan Mansion is united, and Venalan Jin is the first to look forward.
The housekeeper originally wanted to use Shunzi's matter to ruin Nalan Jin's reputation and provoke her relationship with the house. Take the opportunity to muddy the water, so that the housekeeper has a chance to fish in troubled waters.
I didn't expect that the housekeeper's plan for so long would be easily destroyed by Nalan Jin's simple move.
The Lin family is looking forward to Lin Dacheng being able to make a career and get ahead. So she walked around Nalan Jin's house from time to time. Two people gossip and talk about things between women.
The relationship between the two people seems to be slowly becoming intimate, friendly, and close from the heart.
It's not like the saber rattling when we first met. Even face and heart discord.
When the Lin family is idle, he will personally cook for Nalan Jin's stewed soup to replenish his body. His purpose in doing this is nothing more than Lin Dacheng.
"Godmother, you don't need to do such rough work yourself in the future, there are so many people in the house, just let them do it. The chef was personally selected by her grandfather when he was there, and her skills in making soup were top-notch. ”
Nalan Jin always saw the Lin family working hard for herself, and she couldn't help it. It's good to enjoy it when you can, so I persuaded her to be a person who can move her mouth.
"I saw that you weren't in good health a few days ago, so I just took advantage of today's leisure time to cook soup for you, and the cooks helped prepare the ingredients for me, so I didn't do much work."
Lin handed the soup to Nalan Jin as he spoke, and every time he was like this, he had to watch Nalan Jin eat it with his own eyes before he could leave with peace of mind.
As long as Nalan Jin refuses slightly, the Lin family will be cranky, otherwise she will think that Nalan Jin is just perfunctory and dismissed for helping Lin Dacheng.
After getting along for so many days, Nalan Jin also felt the meaning of Lin's sincerity. So she stopped persuading. Drink the soup clean.
It is rare to see two women who are fighting openly and secretly to sit down and drink tea and chat so calmly.
It is this kind of picture that allows Dongfang Yi to have no worries, not to worry about the house, not to worry about his backyard catching fire.
Since the disaster, Nalan Jin has launched the method of cash-for-work, and Dongfang Yi will be busy with the affairs of the refugees.
I got up early every day and returned to the house very late, and I couldn't say a few words to Nalan Jin, so I sighed tiredly and lay down, and fell asleep in a few seconds.
Dongfang Yi sent refugees to all walks of life, and some clever ones worked under his own hands.
"Your account, that's not right." The refugee pointed out.
"What do you know as a country refugee? Hurry aside and do your hard work. The settler impatiently pushed the refugees away.
"Why do you look down on manual work, it's right for me to do manual work, but it's also right that you don't calculate the account." The refugees are arguing with the guys.
Obviously, the guy has been working in the workshop for so long, and he has never met anyone who dares to accuse him. If it were Nalan Jin or Dongfang Yi, it would be a person who was inferior to him in nothing.
"Oh, you can't get along with me sincerely, right?" The guy rolled up his sleeves.
Dongfang Yi watched from the side for a long time, and felt that this refugee was very interesting, he walked over to take a look at the man's account, and there was indeed a big mistake.
"Okay, you go down to work." Dongfang Yi made a sound to stop the unpleasant friction between the two people. "You don't look like you're from our store, are you?"
The guy was not convinced, but Dongfang Yi had to let it go. But when he left, he didn't forget to stare at the refugees.
When the refugee saw that it was Dongfang Yi, he immediately felt a sense of intimacy, "Benefactor, I am working elsewhere, and the boss asked me to come here to pick up the goods." ”
"Well, that's good."
Dongfang Yi looked at the refugee seriously, and then ordered someone to take away what he wanted. I underestimated it in my heart.
Sure enough, heroes emerge in troubled times.
Who would have thought that there would be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among the refugees, and they value this outspoken refugee very much.
"Thank you, benefactor, I'll go first." The refugee thanked Dongfang Yi and turned to leave.
