Chapter 68: Wake Up
Wan Niang threw the silver bowl in her hand onto the table. The jade hand slapped the table and said angrily!
"Presumptuous! Do you think this is your seat? Do you think I'm your young lady, spoiled and used to you at any time? When did your Xi family's tutor talk to his master like this? ”
"Don't forget, what kind of identity you are!"
Wan Niang's rebuke made Toad and Yu'er stunned on the spot.
I've never seen Mrs. Wan so harsh. I never thought that Mrs. Wan would treat these two of her after Miss disappeared, Miss's personal maid.
"On weekdays, the four sisters are spoiled, but it makes you forget your duty more and more, forget that you are being a slave to others, and you should abide by the rules of a slave. Look at this morning, one by two. What kind of system has it become?
How dare you break in without going through, and shout at Mrs. Ben like this, who taught you the rules? There is room for the four sisters in this house, when will you be able to tolerate the two of you to be presumptuous? ”
Not only was Toad stunned, but even the other maids in the house who followed Wan Niang were stunned.
In their eyes, Mrs. Wan has also dealt with ignorant subordinates. He also reprimanded the reckless minions. But I have never been so angry as I am today.
For a moment there was silence in the room, and no one dared to speak. Even to take a breath, he breathed in and out slowly, for fear of making some movement and attracting Wan Niang's attention.
"The two of you remember, no matter how much the fourth sister spoils and gets used to it in private. But outside, you must know how to abide by your duty, but don't fall into the hands of others, and in the end, even your master will suffer.
Don't forget, I'm the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty. There is no distinction between men and women, and all those who are slaves, who do not respect their duties, who act recklessly, and who break the rules. These are all under the control of the law, and if you think that the master is favored, you will be fine.
This will be brought to the attention of the slave inspector. Strictly investigate according to the law. My fourth sister, your master, is going to be affected! ”
Wan Niang's words made Toad suddenly remember.
In the past, Xi Ningyu treated herself and others with little control, and even less harsh. But he forgot that he was no longer the original little jasper.
Although he did not sign the deed of sale, since he followed Xi Ningyu, he has been in and out as a maidservant.
If according to the law of this dynasty, it is true. The house slave committed a crime and did not understand the rules outside. If it is serious, not only will the master's reputation be damaged, but he will also be punished by the law!
"Mrs. Wan! Toad knows her mistake, please Mrs. Wan read the relationship with our master and forgive this time. Today is me and Yu'er are too ignorant of the rules, and Mrs. Wan wants to punish her.
Toad is willing to bear it all by himself, but please Mrs. Nian Yu Er is still young. Spare her once, we must remember that we will not dare to be rude in the future! ”
Thinking of this, Toad quickly knelt down.
Seeing that the fish was still stunned with the pestle on the side, Toad hurriedly reached out and pulled the fish to kneel on the ground.
Wan Niang actually didn't really want to take advantage of Xi Ningyu's absence to bully these two little girls.
Instead, she thought about Xi Ningyu and these two girls she didn't hate. will be so harsh and warn the two!
If you are so laissez-faire, you will be caught by other people with intentions in the future. If you really go to the private slave inspection, that Ning Yu will be affected, even if you don't take criminal responsibility, your reputation will be tarnished.
Wan Nianghou and the two knelt for a while.
"It's hard and cold, but it's a good place to wake up. You've been kneeling for so long, can you figure it out? ”
Toad secretly rubbed her somewhat numb knees, and then raised her head and quickly glanced at Wan Niang, who was sitting on the top and slowly sipping tea.
"I figured it out, Mrs. Wan seemed to be scolding today, but it was actually a reminder. It seems to be embarrassing for the two of us, but it actually saved the two of us!
Toad is not stupid, understood. In the future, I will keep in mind that I will not let Miss fall into an ugly situation because of us, and I will not let Miss be implicated and lose her reputation because of myself. Thank you for your teachings today! ”
Wan Niang listened to what Toad said. There is no resentment, no hidden hatred. Some are humble, more careful, and sincere.
Only then was he greatly relieved, and a little smile appeared on his face.
"Now that you understand it, let's teach you the one who doesn't understand it very well, but don't understand one of them, and the other is ignorant. In the end, I made a mistake and was punished, and I also made your young lady sad for you! ”
"Yes! Mrs. Wan rest assured, I will explain it to Yu'er later. It's just that now, I still bother to ask my wife to inform my young lady...... However, it is ...... privately."
Wan Niang saw that Toad was at this time, and she could be reprimanded again. Thinking about Xi Ningyu first, I like this girl even more from the bottom of my heart.
This time it is no longer difficult for the two of them, let people help the two little girls up first.
"Since you've already guessed, I won't dwell on it. I left last night, not because I was afraid that the two of you would drag her, but you can rest assured that there will be someone to protect you on the road, and nothing will happen.
When you get to the barracks and meet the general, you don't have to worry. The two of you live in the house well, and wait for the fourth sister to come back, but give me a careful look.
If there is any incident, if you dare to chase after you privately, be careful that the fourth sister comes back. I'll let her not spare you two! ”
Hearing Wan Niang say this, Toad knew that she had completely failed to keep Miss this time, let alone chase. That is, people don't know where they go or which way they go, and how to chase them.
At this point, he could only sigh a little weakly.
"Yes, Mrs. Wan rest assured, as long as we can make sure that my young lady is fine, the two of us will wait in the house peacefully. It will never embarrass Madame, Madame can rest assured! ”
"Well, that's good. Okay, let's go, I was frightened in the morning, and I reprimanded me now. Hurry down and eat something, but no one can do anything with me and come and talk to me after eating.
The two of you are not sure, and you are trying to scare yourself there. I'm also weird for being lonely, come over and have some fun! ”
At this point, the toad and the fish saluted helplessly and retreated silently. I went back to my yard and ate something, and lived a day waiting for Xi Ningyu's return in the Duhu Mansion.
After two days, Xi Ningyu and the others naturally had nothing to do all the way.
But Ling Xuanyi, who was in the imperial city at this time, received a message from Qingying.
"Ahem...... Master. That's, the Shadow over there. He sent a message back and said it was ...... Uh, yes......"
Ling Xuanyi saw Mo Ying stumbling like this, and put down the book in his hand with great impatience.
"What the hell is going on, but what's the danger? Still being bullied by someone, though. ”
Mo Ying hurriedly organized her words in her heart, and then said in one breath: "The letter from over there said that Miss Xi followed Master Jiang Huan and went to Zhanyang to sweep the bandits!" ”
Ling Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What, what to sweep?" ”
"Bandits!"
"We received a letter from time to time that there seems to be a gang of bandits in Zhanyang County, Huaizhou. The local officers and soldiers exterminated them several times, but to no avail. It was only reported to the county government at the beginning of the year, so Master Jiang Huan was needed to lead the army to sweep away the bandits...... It's just that I don't know why Miss Xi will follow! ”
"Huh...... This girl, she will play. Can you also join in the fun? ”
After Ling Xuanyi heard this, he thought for a while. Then he burst out laughing!
"Got it, pass the word. Let Huaizhou County divide up our people and hurry to Zhanyang.
Secretly protect it so that you don't get discovered. Don't let the girl get hurt, as for how to play, play with her, and protect her when you've had enough! ”
When Mo Ying heard the first sentence, he felt very much.
Hearing the latter sentence, his body trembled. And the heart said, "Okay! I don't know if I can become a housewife, and I don't know what other girls mean to you in their hearts. You are regarded as a daughter-in-law's pet, and there is no bottom line for the pet, and we are frequent visitors to the military array. Is that where she plays? You can rest assured!
"Uh...... Father! Don't you get people back? ”
Ling Xuanyi also smiled bitterly in his heart, let's go? How to do it?
Seeing that Ling Xuanyi was not speaking.
Moying also retreated with interest.
After Ling Xuanyi waited for Mo Ying to exit, he picked up the book on the table. I put it back and stood up. Walk to the shelf where the scrolls are stored, gently move to the next scroll, and slowly unfold them.
As the scroll gradually unfolded, a figure on the scroll jumped on the paper.
"You girl, I haven't seen you for months. I don't know if I will forget me when I grow up.
You can toss, it's just over the New Year. It's going to be a mess in Zhanyang, I hope Jiang Huan's bastard can protect you, if you have a damage, the relationship between me and his Jiang family will come to an end! ”
Ling Xuanyi just looked at Xi Ningyu's picture scroll, and Gu Ziyan said a few words. Then gently close it and place it away.
"Someone!"
The atractylodes outside the door were on duty today, and they heard Ling Xuanyi calling people in the house. Hurriedly pushed open the door and came in and said, "Master, what is there to do?" ”
"Follow me into the palace, the military attache of the Zhanyang garrison of Huaizhou County is incompetent. This son enters the palace to participate in the people! ”
After hearing this, Cangshu was stunned!
Ginseng? Master, what's wrong with you today, I've never seen you take the initiative to participate in anything in the court. Why did you get interested today, and I also participated in Huaizhou County, there are a lot of things in front of you that can be participated, why bother to participate so far!
However, Cangshu was chattering in his heart, and he hurriedly responded.
Cangshu hurriedly arranged for the car to drive and drove it himself. sent Ling Xuanyi to the palace and followed him into the inner hall.
The Western Qin Emperor, who was reading the book in the side hall, suddenly got a report, saying that Ling Xuanyi invited him to see him.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, this kid. It is rare to invite him to enter the palace usually, but what is going on today, he actually took the initiative to come.
"Announce quickly."
Xiao Nei got the emperor's order and hurriedly turned around to announce the people.
"Minister, Ling Xuanyi. I've seen my emperor, long live! ”
"Okay, okay, this is not the court. Family, don't come to these annoying sets. ”
When Emperor Xiqin saw Ling Xuanyi coming in, he also stepped down from the dragon chair.
"Yi'er, what is the matter today, can you enter the palace to see me in person?"
Ling Xuanyi's face was steady, and his hands were placed on his sides.
"Back to the emperor, but today I have something to do. Chenshen, Huaizhou County, Zhanyang County garrison.
Inaction in office, patrol is unfavorable. The rule is not strict, and it is not possible to use the ability of military equipment to maintain local tranquility. As a result, the bandits are in trouble, and everyone in Zhanyang is in the chaos of banditry, and they can't work with peace of mind during the day, and they can't sleep quietly at night! ”
When the Western Qin Emperor heard that Ling Xuanyi was a ginseng, he felt very fresh.
"Yi'er. You...... I have never liked to participate in court affairs, why today? ”
"Chen Qisheng, Huaizhou County, one of the two counties of grain production in Western Qin. If this is the case in the county, the bandits will be uncertain and the law and order will be unstable.
Why do the subjects work? How can the people be home? Because of bandits and nuisances, no one cultivates the land and no one collects grain. The army is not prepared, and the granaries of the county governments are not collected. In case of national disaster again, how can it be used for the army to fight?
It seems to be a matter of one place, if you ignore these small bandits and let them develop. It will eventually lead to a national disaster, so the minister has to participate! ”
