Chapter 182: Serving the Crowd
Qin Yining and Sun returned to Xingning Garden, and first went to see the injuries of Mother Jin, Cai Tang and Cai Lan.
The rough mother-in-law in charge of the punishment listened to the instructions of the old lady, and the punishment was not light, a total of fifty boards of punishment, Qin Yining was halfway when he came back, and the rough mother-in-law did not want people's lives, otherwise hitting the tail vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae and other parts would be enough to paralyze people with one stroke, and Rao was so, more than 20 boards were enough for three people.
Picking oranges and orchids are young and better.
It's just that Jin's mother has a handful of old bones, not to mention that her body is not as good as that of young people when she is older, she is also a figure with a head and a face in the house on weekdays, but this time she was pressed and beaten in the alley in front of the hanging flower door, and how many pairs of eyes stared at her, which really made her lose face.
The injuries of the three caused high fevers, and Kim's mother was particularly serious.
Rock Candy and the doctor showed the three of them carefully, applied the medicine, and went to boil the medicine.
Sun squatted in front of the sickbed and held Jin's mother's hand tightly: "Nurse, you must not have anything to do, when you come out of the house, you are the only one by my side." It's all useless for me, I'm tired of you. As he spoke, tears began to fall.
Mother Jin's lips were dry, her tongue couldn't be pulled, she was lying on the couch and turned her neck laboriously, and reluctantly said, "Madam, don't cry, the slave is fine, ah." ”
The voice was weak as if people would go at any time, and Sun's tears were even more like rain.
Qin Yining brought a handful of pestles for Sun's family, helped her sit down, took a wet handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her face, and then squatted in front of the couch to look at Mother Jin's eyes and grabbed her hand.
"Mother Jin rest assured, my father has now handed over the cards to me, this time I will be in charge, will definitely seek justice for you, the villain in the inner house who loves to chew his tongue and give birth to right and wrong will not let go, you just take care of your body, not only for my mother, but also for yourself, although the world is in chaos, but with me in one day, I will fight for you for a day, and I will never ignore you."
Mother Jin was moved when she heard this, tears were about to flow, and she said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Thank you, Miss Four, these days, Madame, I'm afraid there is no intimate person to serve here, so I have to pay attention to Miss." ”
"Don't worry, I arranged for Shuorenzhai's maidservants to serve, and they are all trustworthy."
Mother Jin nodded: "That's good." ”
In the end, she was old and seriously injured, and Jin's mother soon fell asleep.
Qin Yining instructed the rock candy: "You are good to take care of it." ”
"Don't worry, girl, I can't do anything else, these are not difficult for me."
Qin Yining called Jiyun to a place where no one was outside and whispered, "If it changes today, I'm afraid that the Qin family will be stared at by people who don't know how many roads, and your flying pigeon biography will no longer be available in the future, otherwise it will cause death." ”
Jiyun was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly: "The girl is thoughtful, and what she says is very true, and the slave and maid must be cautious in the future." ”
Qin Yining nodded.
After sitting down in the side room and eating tea, and resting for a while, someone outside replied: "Fourth Miss, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in charge are here." ”
"Let them all go to the main hall, I'll be there in a moment."
"Yes."
Qin Yining stood up, and Songlan immediately took the lake blue plain makeup and flower gown she brought just now to serve Qin Yining and put it on, and then pulled her long hair back into a hairpin, and fixed it with a pearl tassel butterfly love flower silver hairpin. The pearl tassel hangs behind the ear, echoing with the pearl's studs, glowing with elegant soft light, simple and elegant.
Qin Yining also deliberately used Jiaorongfang's lipstick and eyebrows.
She doesn't use these much on weekdays, she likes to use some moisturizers to moisturize, but today she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress her young age, so she used some thoughts. The long eyebrows of the willow leaves are drawn obliquely into the temples, and the rose-red lipstick is pointed, and the whole face is lit up, glamorous but not demonic, adding a bit of fierce momentum.
"Girl, the slave will come with you later." Songlan put the white gauze shawl for Qin Yining, and took a begonia-shaped fan with both hands.
Qin Yining took the fan, and then hugged Erbai, who had been lying on the table and staring at her with wide black eyes, in his arms, and followed the hair all at once.
"You have a heart. If you don't say it today, I'll call you too, I can only name those old people in the house, and I don't know the details thoroughly, so you can help me watch some of them. ”
Songlan smiled and nodded when she heard this.
On weekdays, Qin Yining went out of the house, bringing more rock candy and Jiyun, but Songlan and Qiulu had no complaints, because Qin Yining knew people very well. When you go out, you need protection, and it is naturally more convenient to take Jiyun who knows martial arts. And what to discuss at home, it is to find more intelligent and resourceful pine orchids who understand everyone in the house. Qiu Lu is smart and careful, but she is quiet and quiet, so the important things are collected by Qiu Lu. As for the Yaoqin and Yuqi rewarded by his father, Qin Yining treated them as the master who taught them to play chess, and always treated each other with courtesy.
Although there are many big girls in Yishuo Renzhai, they are very harmonious with each other, and there is no such thing as who steals the limelight.
Qin Yining thought about it, and called Jiyun to hold the pair of cards, and the three of them went to the main hall.
The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in charge of each house and courtyard were all in the courtyard in front of the main hall at this time, and more than a dozen people were talking to each other in groups of threes and twos.
Knowing that today's pair of cards was handed over to the fourth lady by Hou Ye, they were surprised and a little frightened.
The fourth lady is a well-known savage overlord, very powerful, and she will beat people with her eyes, in the past, when Miss Huining was there, she was beaten by her, not to mention them?
"The fourth girl is here." The little girl at the moon gate said loudly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all stood up and peeked at the moon gate in unison.
I saw the fourth lady holding a palm-sized rabbit, with two beautiful maidservants coming slowly, with the green bushes as the background, the snow-white moon gate as the foil, and the three masters and servants who came in a row were all like shallots, so that people couldn't help but take a few more looks, but when their eyes lingered on Qin Yining's face, the servants all subconsciously lowered their heads.
This person was clearly not angry, and his smile was very gentle, but they just had a sense of nervousness when facing Hou Ye, for fear that they would say something wrong and do something wrong.
Two second-class maids took out an armchair from the room and placed it under the porch of the main hall, set aside a black-lacquered high-legged square table, and served tea.
Qin Yining sat on it, put the well-behaved Erbai on his lap, gently smoothed it, observed the dozen or so people under the corridor, and slowly opened his mouth.
"I invite all my mothers and sisters-in-law to come today, I think you also know that this house will be under my temporary management for a few days."
"Yes." All the servants and women should say yes in unison.
"I am young and ignorant, but I was entrusted with important tasks by my father, and in the days to come, I will have to work for you to help me more."
"The slaves don't dare."
Qin Yining smiled and said: "You are all old people in the house, I won't say much about the rules, only emphasize a few things, one, from now on, if anyone in the house has nothing to do, they are not allowed to go outside, and it is strictly forbidden to secretly entrain, and those who guard each door must be watched carefully. ”
In the huge house, it is inevitable that the people will be lazy and cunning, take advantage of the working hours, or wander around the courtyards, the rules proposed by Qin Yining are not unusual, they are what the people should abide by, but everyone is used to being casual, and when they suddenly hear these requirements, everyone is inevitably unconvinced.
"I know that there will be disobedient among you. But don't worry, it just so happens that I also have the meaning of 'pruning and pruning leaves', if any of you want to leave the Hou Mansion, just commit it! If I catch him, he will be thrown out with twenty boards. If anyone catches the wrongdoer and comes back to me face to face, he will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. ”
As soon as these words came out, the servants couldn't help but shudder, this girl was really as powerful as the legend. However, the reward of twenty taels of silver is really attractive, and they can't save less than twenty taels a year.
"Second, from now on, the defense of the house will be doubled and tripled, whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, those who go to the door at night will not eat and drink and play cards! If I catch someone who eats and drinks and plays cards and delays serious business, once caught, he will be thrown out with 20 boards. In addition, the errand bearer should keep a detailed record of the list, which time period, who is guarding what position, should be written down in detail, and handed it to me to check every day. ”
"If you should be a casual worker, but because of my order, you will be paid three times the salary for the processing time, and you will be paid a supper for the night patrol."
When the servants heard this, they looked at each other, there had never been a temporary processing of three times the salary and a supper in the house, although this girl looked powerful, but she was also a clear reward and punishment.
"The original rules of the house remain the same, I listen to things in the main hall of Xingning Garden every day, and I get up (eight o'clock in the morning) to listen to the things of the night before, and plan the next things to pay attention to. If there is a reply to receive and buy something, they will try to get the right card at this time. If you can't make it to this hour, if it's not urgent, you will postpone it until 3 p.m. and go back again. Do you remember? ”
"The slaves know." The servants answered in unison.
Qin Yining stood up, slowly paced with Erbai in his arms, and said: "During the days of my housekeeper, we all encourage us to do our duty and keep each other decent, as long as we don't make mistakes, I don't want to make trouble and increase my reputation, but you also know that my temper is not very good, if I really make mistakes, don't be lucky or can escape my eyes." I know what people below and outside are saying about me, and my notoriety is already there, and I'm not afraid. ”
"Slaves and maids do as the young lady commands." After some reprimands, everyone was already very convinced of Qin Yining.
Seeing everyone like this, Qin Yining's tense body was slightly relaxed due to nervousness.
She had never managed so many people, and when she was ordered to do so, she could only tell what she thought, and she didn't know if she was doing the right thing. Now that everyone is still obedient, she is relieved.
Outside the Moon Gate, Sun saw that Qin Yining was at ease, and couldn't help but smile with emotion, and turned back to take care of Mother Jin with confidence.
Next, Qin Yining listened to the replies of the various housekeepers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and made some instructions. He sent someone to guard outside the palace gate, quietly waiting for Qin Huaiyuan's news.
As everyone knows, her every move today has already reached the ears of each room, and also to the ears of the second and third uncles in the outer courtyard.
