Chapter 173 Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
According to the specific accounts and managers, Ding Yezi quickly locked down the most serious one, and decided to use him to make an example of the monkey!
Now that she is in charge of the inner courtyard for the first time, if she kills everyone at once, I am afraid that she will not even have a usable manpower in the future, it is better to treat an example, kill chickens and monkeys, and let those people know that she is not in charge of the house for nothing, she is not easy to deceive, and she has her own means to deal with them!
Although he had a plan in his heart, Ding Yezi did not act rashly, thinking about waiting for Hao Ling to come back, and calculate it with him, if it was feasible, Ming'er would do it in the morning!
There is no doubt that after Hao Ling came back in the evening, Ding Yezi told him his own plan, Hao Ling clapped his hands and praised it, only saying that she would do it according to her wishes, since she is now the head of the inner courtyard, she naturally listens to her in everything, and there is no need to discuss it with him.
Seeing Hao Ling's unreserved support, Ding Yezi was both happy and a little dissatisfied, how could he believe her like that? Or had he already seen through her?
She asked faintly, "Xianggong, you believe me so much?" If I decide to do something next time, and I do it without consulting you, even if I do it wrong, you won't blame me? ”
Hao Ling didn't hesitate for a moment, his eyes were deep and he looked at the woman in front of him who was frowning slightly, and said with a smile: "Lady, my whole life will be handed over to you, is it possible that there are more important things on the side?" ”
Ding Yezi was speechless for a moment, and really wanted to open the head of the prince in front of him to see if he was the same as her, and he also traveled from modern times, not an authentic ancient person. However, she also understands that an encounter like her is rare in the world, and the possibility of it happening again is too low.
Could it be that Hao Ling really cares about her? How much do you care?
Ding Yezi leaned lightly on his shoulder, but the tangled questions were thrown aside by her blink, and she didn't think much about it at all.
Now that they have promised each other a mandarin alliance, since they have worshiped heaven and earth to become husband and wife, and since they have promised each other for life, what do you still think about whether you care or not?
The next morning, which was also the first day of December, the stewards gathered in Aunt Shen's southern courtyard as usual, ready to listen to the day's orders. Although Ding Page is in charge now, the master means that Ding Page is not enough, so let Aunt Shen supervise it for the time being, so the stewards also see Ding Page here at Aunt Shen.
Ding Yezi's expression was indifferent, no different from the past, and after dealing with today's affairs, he asked lightly, "Is there anything else you haven't said?" ”
In the past, after each steward received his own order, he would immediately retire to do things, and would not stay in the hall for a long time, but today it is different! After all the affairs were dealt with, Ding Yezi bluntly asked the stewards to leave for the last time to go together. Although the stewards didn't understand what Ding Page meant, they didn't want to ask much in their own identity, so they had to stay, and now they heard Ding Page ask if there was anything else, and hurriedly replied in unison: "Back to the young lady's words, there is no more." ”
Then, everyone looked at Ding Page in surprise, not understanding what she was doing.
Aunt Shen also didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ding Page's gourd, so she looked at her with a frown, but she didn't say anything to ask.
Ding Page took the account book on the side, flipped through it twice, stopped, and read lightly: "November 20, buy three hundred-year-old ginseng plants, and spend seventy taels of silver!" ”
After reading it, she put the ledger aside, stared at a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the front row, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with a light smile: "Steward Song, is there such a thing?" ”
Song Xun didn't understand what he meant, but he still hugged his fists, and Lao Cheng nodded solemnly in response: "If you return to the young lady, there is indeed such a thing!" Last month, due to the illness of the eldest young master, the ginseng in the warehouse was used up, and last month, the masters in the house stewed soup without ginseng, so the small one went to the pharmacy to purchase three plants for the masters to use. ”
Ding Yezi still had a warm look, and asked with a smile, "Oh? The eldest young master is sick and really runs out of the stock of mountain ginseng in Fuli? How do I remember how many plants don't seem to be used? ”
Song Xun still hung his head and said unhurriedly: "There were originally four ginseng plants in the house, and the eldest young master also used four plants later, so they all ran out." ”
Ding Yezi nodded and said, "This is not bad, I remember that four plants were also used, but there were really only four plants in the warehouse?" ”
Song Xun nodded slowly as if he had nothing to do: "Yes, the villain does not dare to deceive the young lady." ”
Ding Yezi didn't expect him to say anything as soon as he asked him, so he was not angry at his current reaction, but said: "Steward Song, then please go and bring the account books in the treasury to me now." ”
Song Xun's thick eyebrows tightened, and finally looked up at the woman on the right side of the main seat, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, the little one has been working in the Hao Mansion for many years, and the young lady is just a newcomer to the Hao Mansion, is it possible that the little one still suspects that the little one has two thoughts about the Hao Mansion?" ”
Aunt Shen was also unhappy immediately, and said lightly: "Page, Steward Song is also an old man in Haofu, you are just a new master, although you want to be powerful, you can't talk nonsense at will, so as not to chill the hearts of those who have dedicated half their lives to Haofu." The lord has always treated his subordinates preferentially, if he knows that you are doing things like this, I am afraid that it is not appropriate. ”
Hearing Aunt Shen's words, Steward Song fell to his knees with a puff, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, the old slave has been in the Hao Mansion for half his life, and he has always been loyal and attentive, who would have thought that the young lady would be so suspicious." The old slave really has no face to continue to stay in Haofu, and begs Mrs. to see the old slave's past achievements, and let the old slave go back to his hometown to retire. ”
Aunt Shen frowned slightly, and hurriedly said comfortingly: "Steward Song, don't worry, as long as I am still in this Hao Mansion for a day, I will not allow anything to happen in the mansion, and the master will not allow it, you can rest assured that you will stay in the Hao Mansion." ”
Hearing Aunt Shen's heartwarming words, Steward Song couldn't help but burst into tears, with a desolate look, and even the faces of the stewards beside him also showed a sad look of a rabbit and a dead dog.
Seeing that the two people in front of him were singing and harmonizing, Ding Yezi didn't say a word, only looked at it with a smile, as if watching the most interesting drama in the world.
Aunt Shen finished talking about the scene, but she couldn't wait for the slightest response from Ding Page, so she took the initiative to look at Ding Page, her tone was very slow, and she persuaded earnestly: "Page, although you are in charge of this family now, the rules are still there, the family style is still there, the master and I are still there, some things will not change!" ”
After that, Aunt Shen's eyes also flashed with a fine light.
Hum! It's just a milky girl who hasn't dried up, what can you really find? It's just a coincidence!
