Ruqing let them kneel and beg, and didn't pay attention to it, just stood there with a cold face, not knowing what they were thinking, and a few girls were even more panicked, thinking that although these four girls were young, they were unfathomable, and they were blind to think that this master was easy to bully.

The movement in the courtyard has already alarmed the other people in the Li family's house, and the Li family took Rumei to the prefect's wife, took away Liu's mother and a few first-class girls, and the other mother-in-law, Li Quan's family, and the third-class girls were still in the house, listening to the movements in the courtyard, and came out to find out.

Li Quan's family is an old man in the Fang Mansion, and he can be regarded as a first-class mother-in-law, but compared to Liu's mother's status, it is one level worse, but in Wulan Pavilion, he is also authoritative, and when he saw the movement in the courtyard, he shouted: "What the hell is going on?" Yuqin, what are you little hooves doing here? Have you done everything your wife commanded? Then he ran to the yard in three steps and two steps, and was about to scold, when he suddenly saw Ruqing present, and said with a smile: "Yo, the fourth girl is also there, the fourth girl, it's so late, why don't you stop?" ”

Ruqing said lightly: "Mother Li, I can't sleep." ”

"How can you not sleep? Is there something bothering the four girls? Then his eyes swept around, and he found Linglong kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted, "Isn't this Linglong?" What's the matter, Fourth Girl, did Linglong's little hooves make you angry? ”

Ruqing nodded, her face was heavy, "Mother Li, you come to judge the reason, my own girl doesn't come to serve me, but she does things for other girls, is there such a reason?" ”

Li Quan's family has been waiting for the master in the inner house for decades, as soon as Ruqing said this, she immediately understood, and immediately scolded Linglong and a few girls, and then said to Ruqing with a smile: "It turns out that this is the case, it is indeed these cheap girls who are ignorant and misbehaving, the four girls should be the wife, and then let the wife clean them up." ”

Ruqing smiled faintly, "Mother Li, my mother is tired of the official locks all day long, and she can't bear to bother her with these little things." ”

Li Quan's family was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Then, according to the girl's meaning---"

Ruqing smiled shyly, "I'm young and I don't know how to deal with this matter, so let's ask my big brother first." ”

Li Quan's family was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about how the eldest young master could have anything to do with these four girls, so he stepped forward to stop Ruqing, and said with a smile: "Fourth girl, when is this, the eldest young master must have rested, the eldest young master is studying so hard during the day, don't bother---

Ruqing shouted innocently: "No, I just came back from the eldest brother, and the eldest brother said that he usually sleeps when he is a child." At this time, the big brother must not have rested. ”

Li Quan's family was stunned again, thinking that such a simple matter had become so tricky.

Ruqing looked at her look, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she pretended to be annoyed on her face, "But Mother Li is also reasonable, the eldest brother has to study during the day, which is extremely hard, I really can't bother him for some trivial things, otherwise, I'd better go find my father." Please help me with this. So saying, he turned and walked outside.

The poor Li Quan family was first overjoyed, and then they were shocked, and they hurriedly rushed to Ruqing, stopped her with both hands, and begged: "My fourth girl, aunt and grandmother, when is this, the master must have rested, and the girl will definitely disturb the master if she goes at this time." The fourth girl is so filial at the time, it's better not to go, wait for the wife to come back and deal with this matter, ah---"

Ruqing tilted her head, thought about it, and pretended to be annoyed, "Hey, what Mother Li said also makes sense, Daddy must have stopped at this time." I really don't want to bother anymore. However, is it possible to forget about this matter? ”

Li Quan's family was busy with a smiling face, "The girl is kind-hearted, she can't bear to disturb her wife, and she can't bear to let the old man this heart, these girls are really not presentable, they should be beaten and beaten well, but the girl scolded and scolded, Linglong also punished and knelt, and the girl also breathed, according to the old woman, this matter, forget it." ”

Ruqing shook her head, "That's not good." Linglong is my girl, she is not doing things well, I will definitely punish her. But these minions, really hateful, actually let my girls do things for them, so that no one in my house took care of it, and it was like a chicken nest. Then he suddenly thought of something, and said to Linglong: "Forget it, my house is still in a mess, you can go back and clean up now." If you don't clean up, you won't be allowed to sleep. "Long Wangshu

Linglong hurriedly kowtowed, and said thank the girl for her unpunished.

Li Quan's family praised Ruqingguo on the side for being kind-hearted, and he was so considerate to his subordinates, and Linglong was blessed to follow her.

Several other girls also echoed, and Ruqing glanced at them lightly, "My girl is waiting for me and doing things for you, should you also say something?" ”

A few girls, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to react for a while. It was still the jade painting that reacted quickly, and nodded desperately, "The fourth girl said very well, if the fourth girl is useful in the future, even if you are instructed, as long as our sisters are free, we will serve the girl with all our hearts." ”

The other three girls also heard the mystery and said the same thing.

Na Qing shook his head and said, "You are all waiting for your mother by your mother's side, and you can't even do your mother's work, so how can you have time to do things for me." I don't want to send you, but I am not happy when you ask Linglong to do this and that for you again and again, punish you, and take care of your mother and not punish you. Then I will punish you for giving me all the silver of this month. ”

A few girls were immediately stunned, although they sold themselves into the house, but their respective Lao Tzu Niang also worked in Fangfu Zhuangzi, and they could receive 600 hanging money to go home every month, if they gave the money to Ruqing, what would they take back to their parents and siblings?

Ruqing saw that they didn't speak, and said, "It seems that you must be unwilling, so forget it." This time, if I don't want to be a caring and filial daughter, I have to ask my father to be angry for me. ”

When Li Quan's family heard this, they were anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ruqing, and said with a smile: "These cheap hooves have done such a crime, and the girl has just deducted money." The girl is really kind-hearted, you cheap hooves, why don't you come over and kowtow to the girl and thank the girl for her grace of not punishing? ”

Although the girls were not happy, they couldn't beat the situation, so they had to kneel down towards Ruqing, and said words of gratitude to Dade in their mouths. Ruqing's expression was still flat, and after they kowtowed a few times in succession, they opened their mouths, although their tone was light, but slightly stern, "Don't think that I am from a concubine, so you dare to bully me." I warn you, if I am found to be in the wrong place in the future, although I am not talented, I will have more than enough power to wield a few minions. A few girls were shocked, and hurriedly said that they would never dare to do it again. Li Quanjia's expression flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ruqing straightened her sleeves again and said slowly: "Although I was not born in my wife's belly, I always have the surname Fang." Again, my mother pays so much attention to face, you dare to let her lose face in front of her father, what will happen to her, you know it all too well, you don't need me to remind you, right? ”

Ruqing's words have come to this, where do a few girls dare to say more, so they have to kowtow vigorously, and say in their mouths: "Yes, yes, the girl said very much, it is the maids who have no eyes, and they offended the girl, please forgive the girl." ”

Seeing that they were finally convinced, Ruqing showed a satisfied smile and a gentle smile at Li Quan's family, "Mother Li, I'm sorry, it's Ruqing's sin to make a noise until Mother Li rests." When this month is over, I will give all the monthly silver of these girls to Li's mother, which can be regarded as Ruqing's compensation. ”

The long-term slave became the master, which is the portrayal of the Li Quan family, although Ruqing is the master, but the Li Quan family is a qualified slave, these people are like characters, they dare not offend, because Ruqing has to slap her well.

This is one of the ancient survival rules that Ruqing summed up after living in ancient times for seven years.

Sure enough, after getting the silver promised by Ruqing, although it was not much, there were always more than two taels of silver, and Li Quan's vigilance against Ruqing was eliminated, and Ruqing was complimented instead. Then he turned around in front of Ruqing and scolded a few girls fiercely, "Not long-eyed things, the fourth girl is the master of the house, you dare to make a mistake, is the skin itching?" Fortunately, the girl is kind-hearted, but she has only deducted your moon silver, and if it were me, she would have stripped your skin ---."

After waiting for Li Quan's family to teach them a lesson, Ruqing said, "Tonight's matter, let's end here." My mother is busy all day long, and we don't let my mother worry about everything we do. Mother Li, you said yes, right? ”

Li Quan's family nodded hurriedly, and said in his mouth, "The girl is really intimate and filial, this matter is over, so as not to let my wife know and be angry." Then he sternly warned Yuqin and the other girls, as well as the other subordinates in the courtyard, not to mention anything in front of his wife, otherwise she would not spare her first.

Ruqing slowly returned to her room, still with a gentle and shy smile on her face, and along the way, the other little girls and rough servants in Wulan Pavilion gave in one after another, and bowed their heads to say goodbye.

*

Ruqing returned to her room, Linglong had already cleaned up the house, and when she saw Ruqing, she hurriedly shouted in a low voice; "The beds are all packed, girl, you can rest."

Ruqing said "um", Linglong stepped forward to take off the rose red embroidered ginkgo biloba for her, Ruqing asked her to wait, and said lightly: "Linglong, I don't want to investigate today's matter." You have to remember that I am a concubine, and I have to live by looking at other people's faces. You are a slave, and you have to live by the face of your master. I solve my own problems, and you are the same. Ruqing turned around, looked at Linglong's red and swollen eyes, and said word by word: "From now on, I will not stand up for you again." Your own business, you figure it out yourself. "Avenge her own girl, although she has the right, but she does not have that obligation.

Linglong was stunned, stared at Ruqing blankly, her nose was sour, she knelt down towards Ruqing, and sobbed, "Girl, it's all incompetent." ”

Ruqing didn't help her up, let her kneel, and sat down wearing the robe handed by Mrs. Shen, "You can't be blamed for this." If you follow any of my sisters, you will never suffer these grievances. If you want to blame me, I blame myself for not being able to let you be wronged. ”

Linglong hurriedly said: "No, it's all the incompetence of the maid and the trouble for the girl." Actually, in fact, the servants didn't want to do things for them, what are you withstanding and what are you withstanding ---"

"Well, I know your grievances. I only allow this to happen once. You understand it for me. Ruqing said: "You are my girl, and there is no reason to do things for other girls." Even if it's my wife's girl. ”

"But, but, they want me to do it, what should I do?"

Ruqing said coldly: "That's your own business, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Linglong was stunned, feeling a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to cry, so she had to wipe her face, get up, and said in a low voice: "The maid knows, and she will definitely not trouble the girl again in the future." ”

After waiting for Ruqing to go to bed, Mrs. Shen covered the quilt for her, and then whispered to Ruqing: "Girl, sleep, Linglong and I will retreat first." ”

Ruqing said lightly, "Mother Shen should also go and rest." She glanced at Linglong gently, and then when she wasn't paying attention, she said in a low voice, "Bother Mother Shen to comfort Linglong again." ”

Mrs. Shen was slightly stunned, and soon smiled, "Don't worry, girl, the old woman has her own measure." ”

Ruqing really laughed at this time, and when the room was quiet, she looked at the curtain on the top of the bed and was stunned, she knew that Linglong had indeed been wronged, but she couldn't stand up for her every time, right? The delicate relationship between ancient girls and rings is also a great knowledge of the relationship with colleagues in the modern office.

Too much character, will be seen as an outlier, too good, and excluded, too strong, easy to be slandered, too weak, easy to be bullied, in short. The rule of office survival is to stick to principles, be flexible, and never compromise. Once you compromise once, you will always suffer the loss.

No one has been arrogant or bullied all his life, and those third-class girls of the Li family only took advantage of it once, and felt that Linglong was easy to bully, so they beat the snake stick to keep up, and then gained an inch. Linglong's starting point at the beginning was also good, but she just wanted to help each other, but she helped too hard, which made people look down on her. However, if she doesn't help, she will be a little more blunt and ruthless, in short, she will suffer if she agrees to do it, if she doesn't do it, she will be squeezed out by many maids in Wulan Pavilion. If you want to get out of this whirlpool, it's up to her to deal with it.

Ruqing turned over, she believed in Shen Pozi's ability and would not let her down.
