Chapter 5: Punishment

Li Qin looked at Li'er's busy work alone, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Looking at it, Li Qin's heart was a little sour. If Li'er knew, Li Qin, who she cared for every day, would have long since lost her soul, how sad she would be.

Li Qin calmed down and asked, "Hasn't the vanilla come back yet?" ”

"Ahh You say vanilla! Who knows that she has always come and gone without a trace recently, saying that she is taking a day off from Huang's mother today. Speaking of which, it's not like I'm trying to be lazy. As if she had just remembered, she took a few steps to the side of Li Qin's bed and asked in a low voice, "Girl, do you keep waiting outside?" ”

"I forgot, let them go!" Li Qin tilted his head and leaned on the side of the bed as he spoke, staring blankly at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's it! You don't care about these things, and I have nothing to say about this girl! Li'er rolled her eyes as she spoke, thinking that she was extremely dissatisfied with her own girl but helpless.

Li'er packed up her things, and when she left the main house, she saw Liangchen standing outside. Li'er was stunned, Liangchen was standing under the corridor at this time, and he didn't know how long he came, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to say anything just now, and Li'er greeted him with a smile.

"Sister Liangchen, why do you have time to come over, hurry up and sit in the house!" As she spoke, she let Liangchen into the house.

Liangchen said with some embarrassment: "Miss Li'er, I'm ...... I also wanted to find someone to report, but I didn't see anyone along the way. ”

"I can't complain about my sister, I'm afraid that the people in the courtyard are all in the small flower hall at this time, sister, please."

At this time, in the small flower hall of Shuxiang Xiaoju, the mother-in-law and the girl knelt down a few people, and the small flower hall seemed a little crowded.

It was almost dark, Lanxi passed on the order of Second Mrs. Liu, and these people in Shuxiang Xiaoju were all brought over and kneeled one by one, and they had been kneeling for more than an hour.

Everyone trembled, but no one dared to move. Why are you kneeling here, Lan Xi said it when she passed them over, because they didn't serve the girl wholeheartedly, so they were punished to kneel here and reflect on it.

Some of these people are not convinced, why are you not satisfied with serving Miss Li, does Miss Li's matter have anything to do with me? He is not a person who serves the girl. But they didn't dare to say this, and they didn't dare to complain about Second Mrs. Liu, so they could only secretly scold the culprit in their hearts: the girl of the Li family.

Gradually, some complaints came out of the crowd, and Mrs. Liu, who went back to rest, entered the small house in Shuxiang with a radiant face. She was going to Zhaohui Hall to ask for peace, but she just walked through Shuxiang's small residence and came over to deal with these subordinates by the way.

Walking slowly to the front of the crowd, his eyes swept through the crowd, and a few mothers-in-law who were still whispering just now had their mouths closed at this time, and they didn't dare to gasp.

Lanxi stepped forward and lowered his hand to report, "Second Mrs. Hui, there are a total of twelve people in Shuxiang Xiaoju, except for the herbs that went home to take care of the mother because of her mother's illness, and the grains that can't get rid of the girl, the others are here." ”

Second Mrs. Liu's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and she found a few mothers-in-law who were born with her mother-in-law's eyes, and then asked, "The people from Yingxue Pavilion are also inside?" ”

"Yes, the second wife, although they have been separated out for a long time, but when they usually receive the monthly money, they are all on the account of Shuxiang Xiaoju, so they are called together." Lanxi Mariel replied, Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with the few people over there.

The small residence of Shuxiang is a small courtyard separated from the Yingxue Pavilion.

Originally, the two places together were called Yingxue Pavilion, because of the proximity to the lotus pond, to Tingyuxuan is also very close, and it is only half a cup of tea from the peach orchard, which has always been the best view of the Chen family in the Jinzhou house. It is the courtyard that Mrs. Liu is going to live in for her biological daughter.

I didn't know that Mrs. Liu didn't move after giving birth to two sons, so she gave up.

Before Li Qin came, the two places had been separated, because Yingxue Pavilion was not inhabited, so he usually left three or four rough envoys who swept the courtyard, and only went to the side of Shuxiang Xiaoju when he received the monthly money.

"That's it, this matter has nothing to do with them, let them go down!"

"Yes."

Second Mrs. Liu spoke, and several people in Yingxue Pavilion were glad that they had escaped. got up and kowtowed to Mrs. Liu, and walked out of the flower hall leisurely, but he didn't go far and only hid in the corner to watch the excitement.

Seeing this, Huang's mother hurriedly followed with a few steps on her knees, and kowtowed a few times in front of Mrs. Liu.

"The old slave is at fault, he didn't discipline these subordinates well on weekdays, please punish the second wife!"

Saying that, she knocked down again, Huang's mother hung the title of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and now everyone in the courtyard was kneeling, she knew that she could not escape the responsibility of being under the rule.

The people below, led by Huang's mother on weekdays, saw her like this, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, kowtowing while saying: I was wrong, please punish the second wife......

After everyone was a little quieter, Mrs. Liu Er said: "Mother Huang, you are an old man in the house, and I want you to come to Shuxiang Xiaoju because I value you." In the past, I saw that you were quite attentive to the Li family's girls, but this time the Li family's girls had such a thing, which shows how negligent you are usually to discipline them! ”

"Yes, the old slave is wrong, the old slave is ashamed of the second wife, please punish the old slave heavily!"

Huang's mother thought, looking at what the second wife meant, the girl is not ready to be punished, how to say that it is also the girl of the Li family herself. Then as the housekeeper mother of this small house in Shuxiang, this punishment is inevitable. Since he couldn't dodge, he simply stepped forward to admit it, maybe there were other turnarounds.

If you want to talk about why Huang's mother is so determined, you have to talk about why Li Qin was injured.

Two days ago, when this girl from the Li family visited the garden, she didn't know which tendon was wrong, and the person who usually didn't leave Shuxiang Xiaoju for half a step actually walked to Tingyuxuan that day.

Tingyuxuan is the highest place in Chen's homeland, surrounded by lotus ponds on three sides, and the girl of the Li family rolled down the stairs directly. Fortunately, she didn't fall into the pool, otherwise with the body of the girl of the Li family, even if she survived the injuries all over her body, she wouldn't be able to survive the cold of soaking in the pool.

It's a coincidence, when the accident happened, I heard that there were six girls and cousins in Yuxuan. Something happened here, and the cousin over there left with the girl.

There was no one in charge of the Chen family that day, and Li Qin was injured like that, and the later doctors were all invited by the fifth young master.

Huang's mother was thinking that no matter whether this matter had anything to do with her cousin or not, she couldn't say anything related to her cousin.

The second wife doesn't plan to move the grains, so it can only be borne by these subordinates in Shuxiang Xiaoju, so it's okay.

"When something happened to the master, you didn't serve well, and they all ran away. You girls are good-natured, I'm not so easy to fool. Now that you know that you are wrong, take the punishment. Second Mrs. Liu said, glancing at Huang's mother, and Huang's mother's head hung a little lower. All the people in Shuxiang Xiaoju were fined two months, and each person went to Liu Cheng to receive twenty boards. ”

As soon as the words fell, two of the kneeling women fell down. They can still bear to deduct the monthly money, but they have to talk about playing the board...... They are all old, and they are trying to mix up time in Shuxiang's small house, but they didn't expect to be beaten by the board now, which can be where to put their old faces in the future.

These people scolded the girl of the Li family over and over again in their hearts, scolding her for going out and wandering around blindly, and it was not good to provoke anyone to provoke the cousin girl, but now it is good, so many people have been punished......

After scolding Li Qin, he scolded Huang's mother again: The old treacherous and slippery, what else is there besides a good mouth, he admits his mistakes when he admits his mistakes, and drags the big guy in vain.

It's good now, let's wait for the board together. This old immortal knows every day that she is greedy for money, and she has never seen her come to the girl's side.

Although I haven't served the girl very much, everyone is the same, why is she good on weekdays, but now she has to accompany her to be beaten and punished for nothing!

These people are usually headed by Huang's mother, because no matter what they do, they will not be punished in this Shuxiang small house, so they are naturally headed by Huang's mother. Now there is no reason to be beaten with her, after all, she is not the housekeeper mother in this yard.
