Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cleanup
Mama An is a person who can do things, Li Jingyi flipped through a thick stack of hemp paper, and secretly said that it has only been twenty years since her mother opened the mansion, and the minions in this mansion have become a big climate, and the money she wants to sell adds up, and there are a hundred fewer people, Li Jingyi looked at Mama An and indicated how many people in the family were on errands at the back of each household, where they were on errands, and what kind of relationship was with which family involved, nodded, picked up a few households, and said to Mulan, "You send this to Mama." ”
Mulan took it with a bent knee and retreated silently, Li Jingyi looked at the little girl's slender figure, "What do you think of Mulan?" ”
Ling thought for a while, "I've only seen each other for two days, looking at the last calm child, I didn't talk much, I listened to it, saying that the little girl suffered a lot of sins at the hands of her stepmother, and she was sent to the house as soon as she was old, but she should have an idea, she went to ask Mama An to recognize her godmother, and she was very filial to Mama An, so she was specially brought by Mama An this time." ”
"Then you take it slowly, if you are a clear-minded person, I can also help you," Li Jingyi saw that Lingxin had already begun to pay attention to Mulan, and nodded with satisfaction, "You go back to the Hou Mansion and stay at home at night." ”
On the afternoon of the second day, not only the servants of Chonghua Courtyard, but also the entire Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the people who were not on bad orders gathered in the Buyu Hall of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Li Jingyi looked at the servants outside the hall, slowly walked out of the main hall, stood on the steps of the hall, and said in a deep voice, "Many of you here have only entered the mansion in the past two years, and I just know that I, the lord of Ruihe County, see, or the first time I have seen you, just today I also met with you, we can't make our house a slave who doesn't know the master, and the master doesn't know the servant." ”
In the past two years, the eldest princess of Jinyang has indeed bought many people into the mansion according to the advice of Aunt Zhu and her father-in-law, but except for the maids who were assigned to serve in Xian'an Courtyard, the rest of them are the same as Li Jingyi, and it is the first time she has seen them, "We actually added so many people?" ”
Aunt Zhu coughed lightly, "Your Highness forgot, you said that you are now the eldest princess, if you are too simple, it will only make people think that the emperor has neglected you, so you specially asked the slaves and maids to buy people back,"
The eldest princess of Jinyang remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and said, "Yes, our house is too big, and it seems very empty with few people, you did the right thing." ”
Li Jingyi didn't hear the conversation between the two in the hall, she waved her hand and asked someone to escort the slaves and maids brought back from Zhuzhou to the open space in front of the hall, "Why should I sell these people and they have families, not to mention that you all know, today I called everyone over, just to ask them to set an example for you, and also to remind you, I am not like my mother, I am a good talker, today except for them, who among you is not willing to stay in the eldest princess's mansion, just stand up, I will make the decision for my mother, exempt you from the ransom money, and go to your own home." ”
Aunt Zhu couldn't sit still when she heard it inside, she was not afraid that Li Jingyi would send people, but she was surprised by Li Jingyi's strength when she came back this time, "Your Highness, what's wrong with the county lord?" If she does this, the people below are easy to have different hearts! ”
"I didn't know that I had sold and dismissed a few minions, and I had to worry that they would have different intentions,"
Li Yuanshan specially came over to support his daughter today, what he was afraid of was the intimate people of these so-called eldest princesses of Jinyang, and pleaded with the eldest princess of Jinyang to stop her daughter, "Aunt Zhu really forgot her duty to be a slave!" ”
As soon as Li Yuanshan said it, Aunt Zhu couldn't stand still, and hurriedly knelt in front of the eldest princess of Jinyang, "Your Highness Mingjian, the slave maid will never dare to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness, the slave maid is just worried that the county lord's methods are too tough, and the people below will be resentful......
Li Yuanshan didn't give the eldest princess of Jinyang a chance to defend Aunt Zhu at all, and sneered, "It turns out that in Aunt Zhu's eyes, it turns out that the master doesn't want to be worth money to let the slaves and maids go free, it's actually a bad thing?" Then it is wrong for the capital's mansions to let slaves go out of the house to accumulate blessings when there is a happy event? ”
Where did Aunt Zhu say that the well-informed Li Yuanshan, she also knew that this was the eldest princess of Jinyang, at most, she was not allowed to enter the mansion, and there were no other ways to deal with Li Yuanshan, to put it bluntly, when it came to holy grace and real power, the eldest princess of Jinyang sent An Guohou is not a little bit.
Even the eldest princess of Jinyang was told by Li Yuanshan, and she also felt that Aunt Zhu was thinking about it, "Yes, I think Jing Niang has done a good job, and she can also save the speculation caused by a large number of minions in our house." ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang said so, Aunt Zhu knew that she was weak to return to the sky, and she didn't dare to say anything more so as not to annoy the eldest princess of Jinyang, and Li Jingyi outside, after waiting for a cup of tea, did not see a single subordinate who was willing to leave the eldest princess's mansion, "I am willing to let everyone out of the mansion, but I don't see a single person willing to go out, it can be seen that your life in the eldest princess's mansion is still passing,"
Li Jingyi beckoned, and saw Mama An coming over with a smile on her face, Li Jingyi pointed at them and said, "This is Lingxin and Longyi's family, after a while, I will ask Lord Gao to send someone to give them their slave status, Longyi's family I gave them a small village of more than 100 acres, Longyi, on the day of the wedding, I will accompany her with the dowry of 12 lifts." ”
Li Jingyi didn't finish speaking, and there was already a sigh under his head, this not only got rid of his nationality, but also got a Zhuangzi, and in the future, this Zhang family will be the landlord when he goes out, and after three generations, Zhang Da's grandson will still be able to go to school to study and take the official exam!
"As for Lingxin, she is unwilling to leave me, I have already made my father clear and gave them a family to get rid of their nationality, Lingxin's father will go to the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion to be a head of the village in the future, and her brother will come to help me take care of the shop in the capital......"
This reward is even thicker, the head of the village is high and the emperor is far away, that is, the hands and feet are clean, and you can also get a brain full of fat, not to mention that this is also out of the country, you can buy land in the future, and the county lord's shop, the old people in the Jinyang Princess's Mansion all know that when Li Jingyi got married, the dowry was all good, and the shop was also prepared in a good location and made money.
Li Jingyi waited for the discussion to be quiet, and said to Gao Jin on the side, "Gao Changshi, please also ask you to help me count the slaves and maids who betrayed the master this time and their families, and hand them over to a few mothers to take back, as for the worth of silver, we have a lot of silver in the house, just take people away!" ”
I don't even want to be worth a lot of money? Sure enough, it's a slave who betrays his master! The eyes of the few women who came over lit up, and they kowtowed to Li Jingyi one after another, muttering that they had never seen such a kind master, and their eyes were already staring at a group of people who were gagged, who wouldn't want this?
If the eldest princess's mansion is worth silver, in the future, in order to make a profit, these Ya women will also pick those who can afford to buy rich slaves, and now the county lord of Ruihe doesn't even want to be worth silver, then the fate of these people, everyone present shuddered, shrunk their heads for fear that Li Jingyi would be in a bad mood, and see which of them was not pleasing to the eye, so he asked Ya Po to take them away, then there is no place to sue!
Because the slaves who were escorted up were all gagged and tied up in the morning, Mama An also explained the matter to them beforehand, don't blame Rui and the county lord for having a big deal, and complain that their relatives have forgotten their duties!
After the little hundred and tenable people were divided up by a few tooth women, Li Jingyi didn't say anything, only waved his hand to tell everyone to disperse, and turned around and went back to the hall.
"Thank you for your hard work, it's all about my mother, when I picked someone for you, I didn't be more careful," the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Kulala being escorted down so many people, and then thought about her daughter marrying far away, there was a litter of white-eyed wolves around her, and her face was quite unbearable, "It's all my mother's fault......"
Li Jingyi shook her head with a smile and said, "There is a way that people's hearts are changeable, and those people may not have a heart of single-mindedness before following their daughter to Zhuzhou,"
She sighed, "It's because my daughter is too confused," in the future, she will marry a reliable family, and she can spend her life with Rongzhi in peace and stability under the protection of her parents.
Seeing that Li Jingyi took the responsibility, Aunt Zhu and Liang's father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, these twenty companion rooms, except for the four rooms sent by the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, the others were all selected by their hands, if Li Jingyi blindly wanted to get out of the evil spirit in his heart, they would not be good.
Li Jingyi took a list from Lingxin's hand, "My mother prepared it for me, I stayed in the capital at the beginning, I still know me as the master, and the rest of the people, my father has already helped me choose, and my mother has seen it." ”
What else does the eldest princess of Jinyang have, she doesn't know anything about the situation in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, even if she wants to give advice, she can't mention that the person she gave at the beginning caused such a big mess, "You are no longer a child, look at the arrangement yourself,"
Li Yuanshan twisted his beard and said, "What His Highness said is that in fact, Jing Niang's encounter with an accident this time has a great deal to do with her ignorance of the world,"
"Let's raise her too delicately, she doesn't know anything about the hearts of the world, His Royal Highness has never taught her to be in charge of the family, "As a mother, teaching her daughter is one of the responsibilities of women, and the eldest princess of Jinyang is a serious dereliction of duty."
"Where does Jing Niang need these, I originally wanted to marry into the Rong family, she only has a blessed ......" The eldest princess of Jinyang lowered and lowered her voice under Li Yuanshan's forced gaze, "It's all to blame on that Hu family!" ”
Li Yuanshan was too lazy to argue with the eldest princess of Jinyang about who was to blame, "If the daughter marries into the Rong family and takes over the middle feed from the Hu family, does His Highness think there will be such a thing?" ”
The Rong family happily married someone, but they didn't ask Li Jingyi to touch their hands, blocked her ears, blindfolded her, and only offered her as a mud bodhisattva, once they felt that this Bodhisattva was useless, they wanted to break it mercilessly, Li Yuanshan lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in his heart, "Your Royal Highness has always been concerned about government affairs, and as far as the ministers know over the years, all the affairs of the eldest princess's mansion are handled by Gao Changshi and her father-in-law and Aunt Zhu." ”
