Chapter 230: It's Your Turn, Please Hold Firm
After Wang Dong left, the room was eerily quiet again. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
The maids didn't dare to speak, Xue looked at Sanniang and then at Mama Xue didn't know what to say. Wang Jing was a little anxious when Sanniang started crying, but when she got to the back, she stood there and didn't move.
"Perran, help me to the backyard to get the punishment." Mama Xue finally spoke.
"Yes." Pei Lan was about to come forward to help Mama Xue, but Wang Jing was stunned.
"Are you the maid next to the lady, or is this old woman's? Are there any rules? Can anyone move you? Wang Jing hugged his arms and said with a cold face, which scared Pei Lan to tremble.
"The old man just said to call the executioner, wait." Wang Jing glanced at Mama Xue.
Mama Xue knelt back again, and the others in the room didn't dare to move again.
Sanniang helped Xue to the table and sat down, standing beside her. Seeing the slightly uneasy eyes cast by Xue, Sanniang quietly shook her hand and asked her not to speak. Xue sat down quietly.
After a while, the grandmother in charge of punishment in the backyard came, first asking for peace to the Xue family, Sanniang and Wang Jing, and then standing aside to listen to the instructions, only occasionally glancing at Xue Mama and not hiding her surprise.
"Mama Yang, just now the master ordered, Mama Xue will commit the following offenses and hit the thirty boards." Wang Jing glanced at Mama Xue: "You ask someone to take her down." ”
Although Mama Yang had just heard what Mama had just called her to say, she was still surprised when she heard it at the moment. She is an old man who follows Wang Dong, since the Xue family married in, she has witnessed Wang Dong's trust in the old lady beside this lady, and she doesn't want to fight for the young master and the young lady today.
Mama Yang is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and when Mama Xue was in power, she was very respectful to Mama Xue.
Heard Wang Jing's words. Mama Yang hurriedly called the two mothers-in-law she brought to help Mama Xue out. Mama Yang herself wanted to retire, but Wang Jing stopped her.
"I heard that some people in the house always love to use their power for personal gain, and they also disobey the master's orders, Mama Yang, aren't you like this?" Wang Jing looked at Mama Yang for a while. Said leisurely.
Mama Yang broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and hurriedly smiled: "The slave doesn't dare, the young master laughed." ”
Bai Ying was close to Wang Jing. stepped forward and walked up to Wang Jing and whispered a few words.
Wang Jing raised his eyebrows, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said to Mama Yang: "Your family is in charge of the outer study?" ”
Looking up at Wang Jing.
Wang Jing waved his hand. smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I know it, it's not bad." Some time ago, my father said that he would be asked to be the bookkeeper. ”
Mama Yang was overjoyed when she heard this, and saluted Wang Jing: "Thank you, young master." ”
Wang Jing laughed: "What does it have to do with me, he can do it himself." Since you are a family with him, you must also be reliable. ”
Mama Yang hurriedly said: "The slave must obey orders. ”
Wang Jing nodded: "I heard that there are real fights and fake beatings on this beating board, but this time my father ordered the execution, so I guess there will be no fake beatings." ”
"It's nature. The master's order, how dare the slave and maid disobey. Mama Yang said respectfully.
Wang Jing was satisfied and waved his hand. Let Mama Yang go down.
Wang Jing took advantage of the lack of attention and winked at Sanniang. Sanniang couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Wang Dong didn't speak when he was there just now. It's because Sanniang had long expected Wang Jing's temperament, and when she saw that she was wronged, she would definitely attack on the spot, so she wouldn't care about Wang Dong's presence at all. Sanniang was afraid that the scene would be difficult to clean up at that time, so she secretly ordered Bai Ying to watch Wang Jing. Wang Jing had just received Bai Ying's hint and knew that there was something strange in it, so he didn't say anything.
However, Wang Jing's performance just now made Sanniang very satisfied.
The matter had settled, and Wang Jing saluted Xue and said goodbye.
When Wang Jing also left, only Sanniang was left in the room, and the Xue family was already Sanniang and Xue's maid.
"Mother, let's talk, and leave only one or two maids to serve, right?" Sanniang said to Xue.
Xue nodded, leaving only the agarwood and letting the other maids go out.
"Mother, Mama Xue must need someone to serve you later." Sanniang glanced at Pei Lan who was walking out, and said with a smile: "Pei Lan next to you seems to be a careful person, and she has a good relationship with Mama Xue, so it is better to send her to Mama Xue to serve." ”
Pei Lan was taken aback when she heard this, and turned to look at the Xue family: "Madam......"
Xue remembered that it was Pei Lan who brought her and Wang Dong here just now, and remembered Pei Lan's words and deeds on weekdays, where did he not understand in his heart? She sighed: "Before Mama is all right, Pei Lan, you can go to Mama's side to serve." ”
Peilan's face turned pale, she thought that Mrs. was the most soft-hearted on weekdays, maybe there was room to turn around, and she just wanted to kneel, but when she saw Sanniang's faint glance at her, she suddenly deflated.
Just now, the third lady, who is the most talkative and temperamental on weekdays, still scared her by what she did just now, she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so she had to turn around.
Sanniang saw Bai Zhi and Bai Guo standing at the door one by one, so she personally poured a cup of warm tea for Xue's and handed it to Xue's.
After Xue took it, Sanniang said, "Mother, my daughter apologizes to you. ”
Xue looked at Sanniang in surprise: "Why did you apologize to me?" ”
Sanniang saw that Xue's expression did not seem to be fake, and sighed in her heart: "Mother, I just insisted that my father punish your grandmother." It's easy to think I'm punching you in the face. ”
Xue Shi looked at Sanniang: "Then Sanniang, do you mean that?" ”
Sanniang shook her head.
Xue smiled: "Isn't that it?" Xue put down the teacup in his hand, took Sanniang's hand, and said, "Sanniang, I know that you are a good girl, and you are forced to do this today." Doesn't there be a saying among scholars, that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Mama Xue ...... Sometimes it's really excessive. ”
Xue lowered his head and said softly: "It will become what it is today, it is also my fault, if it weren't for me...... You didn't blame me for conniving at the slaves to bully your brothers and sisters, it is your trust in me, I also understand you. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Shi smiled, stared at Sanniang with a pair of bright eyes, and said, "I remember you once said that we are a family." After all, they are just outsiders. Why, you forgot what you said? Xue glanced at Sanniang with some disgust.
Sanniang smiled: "Mother is right, Sanniang just said the wrong thing." Glancing at the teapot on the table, Sanniang raised her hand, poured herself a cup, and said to the Xue family seriously: "Sanniang punished herself with three cups." ”
Saying that, under Xue's stunnedness, he drank three cups of warm tea in a row.
Xue Shi smiled, raised his hand and tapped Sanniang's head: "You, sometimes weird, sometimes naughty, sometimes smart." ”
Mother and daughter laughed.
Sanniang suddenly said to Xue seriously: "Mother, have you forgotten one thing in the past four years?" ”
The smile on Xue's face was not put away: "What's the matter?" ”
"Mother, have you forgotten that you are the master of the backyard?"
Xue Shi was stunned, lowered his head and did not speak.
Sanniang said seriously: "In his position, he has to seek his own government, and the backyard is actually similar to the government." Throughout history, whenever the real superior does not seek government, but throws his hand to some people who are close to him to do mischief, then chaos will appear. Mother, do you really not understand why Mama Xue, a minion, dares to be so arrogant in front of us masters? ”
Xue Shi smiled bitterly and said with some difficulty: "I know, it's because of my connivance." ”
There is also Wang Dong's attitude. Sanniang said secretly in her heart, but she didn't say it.
"Mother, it's time to put things right." Sanniang said slowly: "In the past, my father let go of the foreign office, and the emperor was far away, so the things in the backyard would naturally not be magnified to the court. But as an official in Beijing, he is still an eye-catching member of the three products. Mother, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at our house right now? ”
Xue Shi was shocked, she didn't understand any of this, but she knew that Sanniang was not an alarmist.
Sanniang knew that the Xue family had listened, and continued: "Mother, do you know why the previous right attendant of the Criminal Department was dismissed? For her wife wronged a concubine for stealing her bracelet and beat the concubine to death. But then the bracelet was found on the back of her pillow. This was originally a matter in the backyard, and it stands to reason that it should not involve the court, or if this squire was just an outgoing official, this matter would have passed. But this is the capital, where the imperial history is everywhere, so of course this matter was known by the imperial historians, mixed with the squire a book, saying that he has no way to govern the family, let his wife be unvirtuous, and the family has unjust cases, so how can a house be swept without sweeping! ”
Xue listened carefully, and his heart was shocked. No one had ever mentioned her, and she didn't know that the things in the backyard would involve the appointment and dismissal of officials in the court.
"Mother, think about it, if the matter of the slave bully in our house is known by the imperial history, what will happen to my father?"
Xue's face was already pale.
Sanniang poured another cup of tea and replaced the cup of tea that had been cold in Xue's hand, but she didn't speak again, only letting Xue think it through.
"No, I can't let my lord lose his future because of me." Xue finally clenched his fists and raised his head, looking at Sanniang: "Sanniang, you help me." What do I do, what do I have to do to keep the lord from being impeached by the imperial historians? ”
Sanniang handed the cup of tea that was just enough to enter to Xue's, Xue took it and subconsciously took a sip, and Sanniang said slowly: "It's very simple, as long as you sit firmly in the position of your housewife, there will be nothing." Now that Mama Xue is injured, she must be injured a lot, and there must be no way to do it. So...... Mother, in the future, you will have to take care of this family by yourself. (To be continued)
