Chapter 134: Selling
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The rewards sent to the Hou Mansion in the past few days are like flowing water, and they will definitely not be like this for no reason. Even if he is a fool, he will feel the smell at this time, not to mention that most of the people who work on errands in the Hou Mansion are not stupid.
They knew that the Hou Ye had fallen off the cliff, and only orphans and widows were left in the huge Auxiliary Marquis Mansion, so their thoughts couldn't help but float a little.
When Xue Su and Liansheng returned to the house in Tonghua Lane, they couldn't see the porter when they walked to the main gate, and they didn't meet a maid slave after going in for a long time.
Because the Hou Mansion was in a mess, Steward Li tried his best to restrain the manpower, he was too anxious and overworked, and the old man was infected with the cold, and he couldn't even go down to the kang now, let alone rectify the mansion.
The steward was seriously ill, and the people below were even more happy, no one did the work in the house, and the monthly money was correct, Xue Su was not a good person, the more he listened, the more gloomy his face became, and his palm slapped it on the table, making a clang.
Chunlan Qiuju shuddered in unison, standing in place and not daring to say anything, since the day they entered the Hou Mansion, the master has never been so angry, she has a gentle temperament, and she has always been gentle and kind to the slaves, not like others who beat and scolded at every turn.
I didn't think that as soon as something happened to the Hou Ye, those dogs who bullied the soft and were afraid of the hard would turn against the sky, and they rushed to bully Mrs., and they really didn't remember it.
"Chunlan went to Steward Li's place and took the roster of the people in the house, whoever left without permission today, and the work that should be done was not done, so they were all driven out for me, if I signed the death deed, I could sell it to the hands of the people."
Hearing this, Chunlan responded timidly, and was just about to go out, when she heard Madame's movement again, "You call Xu Cheng together, others are tall and big, and they won't let you suffer." โ
After that, Xue Su's eyes were tightly closed, his fingers rubbed the sore forehead and pressed the corners of his forehead, Lian Sheng sat aside, wanting to help but didn't know where to start, and finally had to leave the main courtyard and wander around the mansion aimlessly.
As soon as she walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, Liansheng saw a familiar figure, she fixed her eyes, and her delicate little face couldn't help revealing a trace of surprise, and asked, "Wu Junshi, why are you here?" โ
Wu Shutong walked forward quickly, his eyes faintly revealing a little worry, and he couldn't help but say, "Miss Liansheng, there is nothing wrong in the house, right?" โ
"Uncle is the pillar of the Chu family, and now that he is gone, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts have come out, and he doesn't take his aunt in his eyes at all, which is really shameless......"
Probably angry and ruthless, Lian's angry eyes were red, and she almost didn't shed tears, Wu Shu watched from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, don't worry too much, Master Hou will fall off the cliff in order to save the driver, Your Majesty admits that he will not let his wife and son be bullied." โ
Lian Sheng wiped his face and shook his head with a wry smile, "Uncle is no longer alive, what's the use of compensating more?" No amount of gold or silver can bring people back. โ
Realizing that she was a little out of shape, the little girl took a deep breath and slowed down for a while before asking, "The Ukrainian army division came over today, but what is the matter?"
"The reason why Wu is here is to bring a message to his wife, Hou Ye is benevolent and righteous, bravely killed the enemy in the border city, and saved hundreds of people, if the lady can use it, as long as she goes to the camp north of the city, 200,000 troops are at your disposal."
Hearing this, Liansheng finally showed a little smile on her face, she blessed the man and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, your great kindness, in the next life, you will be rewarded with a straw ring." โ
Sending Wu Shutong out of Tonghua Lane, Liansheng only felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a little, but she was still a little worried about her aunt, so she was ready to go back and take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hospital, before he entered the house, he heard the woman's sharp voice, "Su Niang, Brother Cheng is your own brother, why do you have to live such a shabby life?" Quickly open the door of the storeroom, and pick out a few high-quality jade ornaments for him to choose from, and this child is also being ridiculed and despised when he walks around. โ
Zhao Xianglan's voice is very loud, and her tone is also very high-pitched, just like an old hen who has been choked by the neck, which is really annoying.
Xue Su sat on the Eight Immortals Chair, holding a tea bowl in his hand, looking coldly at the woman standing in the hall, his red lips hooked up a sneer, "Zhao, what kind of thing are you, why are you shouting in front of Mrs. Ben?" Don't forget, as early as when you were in Anning Village, you were kicked out of the house by my father with a letter of resignation, and now you are living in the Hou Mansion, I will give you a bite to eat, which is already good, but at the moment you are so insatiable, and you want to go east and west, you are so bullying me, right? โ
Xue Su didn't mention it, Zhao Xianglan forgot about her abandonment, she was choked at this moment, and she didn't know what to say. After all, if you are not a stepmother, you can't suppress her as an elder, how can this be good?
turned around and glanced at Father Xue, who just wanted to speak, but was pulled by Jade, and his soft index finger was pressed against his lips, not giving Father Xue a chance to speak at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Xianglan was so hung upside down, a few days ago, Xue's father was drunk, and he didn't know what was going on, he actually touched the Linglong room, and it became a good thing with her; And if you have already touched someone, you don't have to restrain yourself anymore, just break the jar and break it, and put the jade into the room together, and the life is very chic and very comfortable.
The exquisite jade is Xue Su's person, naturally towards the master, the gentle and gentle wind blows in his ears, where does Father Xue remember who Zhao Xianglan is?
"I have said it clearly, my father and Brother Cheng stayed in the Hou Mansion, and it is reasonable for me to take care of it, but Zhao you are an outsider, even if you make trouble in the official mansion, I will take advantage of it, if you don't want to stay here, pack up your baggage as soon as possible and get out of the Hou Mansion!"
Hearing Xue Su's scolding, Zhao Xianglan trembled, and as soon as she wanted to refute, she met the woman's bloodshot eyes, which seemed to condense with murderous intent, and the words that made her gush into her throat were swallowed again, and her momentum was also three points weaker, and she was silent.
At this moment, Chunlan and Xu Cheng walked in, the maid held a roster in her hand, and her beautiful little face showed a little hesitation, and asked:
"Master, all the people on the roster have been ordered, one-third of the minions are not in the house, and one-third are idle, either sitting under the porch playing cards, or gathering in the backyard to laugh, all the names of these people are recorded in the booklet, do you really want to send them all out?"
"This kind of waste from eating inside and out, it is useless to stay in the Hou Mansion at all, it is better to get out as soon as possible, and this person in the province is always thinking crookedly, wanting to bargain from me, an orphan and widow!" As she spoke, the woman's palm-sized little face was covered with frost, without a trace of hesitation.
Xu Cheng knew in his heart that his wife was afraid that he was really angry, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him, so it was better to take this opportunity to cut off the cancer in the Hou Mansion together.
The tall guard stood at the foot of the hall and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are going to find the human teeth, and please wait for a while." โ
Seeing Xu Cheng so neat, Xue Su's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and he waved his hand slightly, and let him go down.
Father Xue listened to their conversation and couldn't help but say, "Su Niang, there are hundreds of servants in the mansion, and two-thirds of them are driven out, isn't this Hou Mansion empty?" โ
"What's the point of being empty? Originally, there were not many masters in the house, and there was no need for so many people to serve, if there were not enough people, the idle courtyard would be locked, and it would be used to clean it later. โ
While speaking, Xue Su flipped through the roster, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, looking like a sharp knife, the cold light was clear, making people's hearts tremble.
The subordinates of the Hou Mansion are no longer poor, nor are they deaf and blind, and the lady will count the roster after returning home, is it possible to clean them up?
There was a timid slave who was uneasy, thinking of what he had done, his face turned pale with horror, and he wanted to rush to the main courtyard to plead guilty.
But some mothers-in-law have become old fritters, and at the moment while eating tea, they said, "How many lazy people are there?" Could it be that Madame can still send them one by one? Put your heart back in your stomach, let's finish this game, you are not allowed to pay the bills......"
The one who spoke was the mother-in-law in charge of purchasing in the kitchen, she was also an old man in the Hou Mansion, and what she said carried a lot of weight, which put those worried little guys at ease and dispelled the idea of asking for guilt.
"Granny Zhao is right, the so-called law does not blame the public, if we all leave, who will work for the Hou Mansion?"
In less than half an hour, Xu Cheng brought Renyazi back to the house, Xue Su took the roster in his hand and asked Chunlan Qiuju to call all the minions over.
Naturally, the honest duty did not dare to delay the time, and soon gathered in front of the main hall, while the other bold ones had to wait for a full two quarters of an hour before they were late.
Xue Su glanced at it and ordered directly at the guards, "Drive these people out of the Hou Mansion, sign the death deed and keep it, and sell it to Li Yapo." โ
The servants who work in the Hou Mansion are either young and strong, or they have a skill, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price. Now Li Yapo is smiling and can't see her eyes, as if there are countless silver beckoning at her, and she is very happy.
At this moment, these servants knew that the lady was not joking, they hula lala knelt down, kept kowtowing, and begged for mercy in their mouths, but Xue Su was not moved, and only asked lightly, "Why don't you do it yet?" โ
The guards woke up like a dream, and after staying in the courtyard for such a long time, it was clear who was the dead deed and who was alive, and it didn't take much effort to move their hands, and it didn't take long for the crying in the courtyard to gradually stop, and the woman's face softened a little.
"There are more than 20 minions who have signed a death contract, even if Li Yapo takes it away, I don't want much, ten taels of silver per person."
Chunlan Qiuju took the deed, checked with Li Yapo, and worked hard for a while, and then she was idle.
Xue Su turned around and went to the wing, she lost the most important person in the paddock, the only blood related relatives, only Xiao Ning'an was left, if she didn't see the child, her heart was always empty, like a rootless duckweed, always unrealized.
