Chapter Seventy-Four: Slaves Are Human Beings
With the end of the maid selection activity initiated by Liang Qianqian, the inner house of the Protector Mansion, which had been noisy for several days, finally returned to calm. And it seems that there have been some changes since that day. Whether it is the main courtyard Hua'an Hall, or the long room, the second room, and the third room, a problem was found at the same time, and it was not so easy to inquire about the news from Linghuayuan. And the ears and eyes they put in the Linghuayuan in advance don't know when it started, and it lost its effect. This is really not a good thing for them who are married middle-aged women who are full of food and have nothing to do, and they will be troubled if they don't do something.
This feeling of not being in control of the overall situation makes them feel panicked. So, they started from some family members of the staff in Linghuayuan, and only then did they hear some news sporadically.
First of all, all the subordinates of Linghuayuan have been re-divided, and the reward has changed accordingly. But I can't ask what it is, so I don't know. Second, no matter what the subordinates of this Linghuayuan do, they don't have to be on duty for every six days of work. When it's not on duty, you can do anything. Those who are outside can go home, and those who are at home can go out by themselves, just a little, and there can be no unfinished work in their hands. If there is something at home, you can take a leave of absence, and you don't need to deduct the monthly silver.
Just these two items, not only the second lady in charge of the middle feed is not calm, but even the old woman who claims to have seen the world can't calm down. Let's not talk about the first one, this second article alone is enough to grasp the hearts of the people under this Linghua Garden.
Not only that, but the most terrible thing is that the people said: "The eldest girl said that although these slaves have signed a deed of sale, in her opinion, it is just a contract of lifelong service." It is their job to serve her, and it is their obligation to serve well, but they are also human beings, and they are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are flesh and blood. It's not an object, it's not a cat or a dog. If they make a mistake, she can be punished, and it's a big deal to pull them out and sell them. As a last resort, she will never have human blood on her hands. ”
These women in the house, they have never been out of the cabinet, and they have no blood on their hands, and if they have it, they can say that they have no human lives in their hands? But this girl really dares to say that. She is now talking in the mansion, what will she do if she marries into the East Palace in the future? What about becoming a queen? That is the example of the world's destined women, who can touch it if she doesn't touch people's blood? Who would dare to touch it?
Besides, these minions, their goal in life is to earn decent points in front of their masters, so that their masters treat them as individuals. Now she has given this dignity directly, which is equivalent to directly grabbing people's hearts. In the future, whoever wants to stretch out his hand to Linghuayuan, I'm afraid that he doesn't need the master to speak, and he will directly block back where the slave is.
Lin couldn't help but ask, is this still a little girl who has just reached the end of her life? This scheming, this city, and this vision, even she, a lady from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, is beyond her reach.
So what kind of woman should her biological mother be, it should be quite not simple. No wonder my lord dreams back at midnight now, and he always calls her name. In this way, not to mention it, Lin was also convinced. Well, if this girl doesn't embarrass herself, she doesn't mind being a virtuous stepmother, even if it's just for her son's future.
