Chapter 396: Pick
Chapter 396 Pick
Throughout the day, Ye Yunshui was immersed in Qin Murong and the royal secrets she had clouded.
Last night, she and Qin Murong had been sitting in the bamboo forest and snuggling up to each other, listening to him talk about those past things, as soon as the sky brightened, Qin Murong took people out of the city.
Ye Yunshui knew that he was going out of the city to meet the four main generals under Prince Zhuang, and when he left, he only kissed his forehead.
She didn't ask him if he was in danger, because he would not be able to answer, she just stood in the depths of the bamboo forest and waited silently for him to return.
Hua'er didn't see Ye Yunshui return to the main house in the morning, so she took the little maids to surround the bamboo forest with a felt blanket, put breakfast vegetables and fruits, a pot of hot tea, snacks and books, and saw that the stone chair was not comfortable, and asked the little maids to move a beauty.
Ye Yunshui sat on this couch, covered the felt carpet, and simply stayed in this bamboo forest, reading the book while waiting for Qin Murong to return.
At this moment, she just wanted to have a quiet wisp of thought, but she hid from it, but this thing always chased her.
Before noon, Hu Tao came over to talk back, saying that Mama Wei had brought the family of the dead person to see him.
Ye Yunshui forgot about it, but when people came, they had to see it, "...... I really didn't have the heart to move when I brought people here. She really didn't want to do anything at this moment.
After a while, Mama Wei came with Hu Tao, followed by a young woman and three children.
Mama Wei smiled and asked Ye Yunshui to say goodbye, and instructed the women and children on the side to kneel down and kowtow, "This is the princess, don't kneel down and kowtow."
The young woman hurriedly scolded the three children and "kowtowed"
The three children looked up at Ye Yunshui in confusion, and the next moment they were pressed down by the young woman......
After this ceremony, the young woman took the children to the side, and Mama Wei stepped forward and said complimentingly, "The new house of the princess is very beautiful, and the old slave has never seen such a beautiful garden."
Ye Yunshui only raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and his gaze turned to the young woman, "What do you call it?" ”
"The man he died was called Liu Er." Mama Wei suddenly interjected.
Hua'er glared at her, and Mama Wei continued to laugh, but with a hint of embarrassment.
Ye Yunshui didn't look at Mama Wei, but looked at the second daughter-in-law of Liu.
There were no patches on the clothes, and the three children were also dressed in coarse cloth, which had faded after washing.
Ye Yunshui slowed down for a long time and asked the second daughter-in-law of Liu directly, "Liu Er's family, can the firm compensate you for your silver?" ”
"The merchant house only gave three taels of silver, two of which were arrears of wages, and the other one or two were the burial expenses made up by the workers of the slave men." Liu's second daughter-in-law spoke neatly, without dragging mud and water.
"What is the accident burial fee that is not written on the deed before the work?" Ye Yunshui inquired casually, and he also wanted to know more about Naqingfeng Commercial Bank.
"The slave family is illiterate, but I heard the slave man say before that the business house is dead or injured." Liu's second daughter-in-law only regarded Ye Yunshui as unwilling to lose money, and pleaded:
"The slave family doesn't want to blackmail, but the slave family's house is rented, and the livelihood of the slave family usually depends on Liu Er alone, and now the slave family only lives on pulp laundry, and there is a sick mother-in-law, and with three children, now it is enough to pay the arrears of the house money with three taels of silver, this day is really difficult, I just ask the princess to reward the slave family with a mouthful of food"
"And how much silver are you going to ask me for?" Ye Yunshui glanced at Mama Wei, but Mama Wei was giving Liu Erjia a look.
Liu's second daughter-in-law felt Mama Wei's gaze, but she twisted her body, "As long as the slave family has a place to live, it can treat the mother-in-law and feed the children."
Ye Yunshui looked at the three little babies, two boys and one girl, the eldest was only six years old, and the younger one was just able to walk...... This second daughter-in-law of Liu is not very old, and she has some backbone if she didn't throw her children and mother-in-law down and remarry.
"It is said that Liu Er also signed a contract with the firm when he came to work in the house, even if something happens in our house, it will not be our turn to come to our house to compensate for the silver, but I pity you for your orphans and widows...... But I heard before that you want a hundred taels? ”
After Ye Yunshui said this, his eyes looked directly at Mama Wei, but when he saw a hint of joy flashing on her face, he immediately hid it and changed to a surprised look, "Concubine Shizi, what Mama Yan can say to the old slave is twenty taels of silver, how did it become a hundred taels?" ”
Ye Yunshui glanced at her, Mama Wei pursed her lips and hurriedly stepped aside, Liu's second daughter-in-law was slightly flustered on her face, she looked at Mama Wei, her eyes were resentful, "It's all Wei Steward taught the slave family to say this, the slave family has never seen a hundred taels of silver in his life, and he doesn't have the heart to be greedy for money, twenty taels of silver is what Mama Yan said and the slave family, the number is not much, she said that the mama in charge can call the shots......" Liu's second daughter-in-law was quite hesitant at this point, moved her lips and didn't dare to continue.
"You girl, what are you Hu Qin?" When Mama Wei saw Liu's second daughter-in-law bite her out, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, pointing at her and scolding.
Liu's second daughter-in-law said firmly: "If the slave family has half a lie, the sky will thunder."
Mama Wei wanted to defend again, but was reprimanded back by Hua'er: "The princess didn't ask what you were talking about?" You are also a housekeeper, how can you not understand the rules so much? ”
Liu's second daughter-in-law saw that Hua'er dared to scold Mama Wei, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she knelt on the ground and said to Ye Yunshui: "The slave family knows that the princess is a good person, and she doesn't dare to ask the princess to reward the princess with silver, and reward the slave family for an errand to do, the slave family can pulp and wash clothes, sew and mend, and can do anything."
Liu's second daughter-in-law knelt down in front of Ye Yunshui again, and the little babies stepped forward and pulled her clothes, and they all knelt down next to her in a daze, and the immature little faces obviously didn't know why they knelt......
"Mama Yan asked you to ask for twenty taels of silver, and Mama Wei asked you to say one hundred taels...... So why don't you do what they say? Ye Yunshui said this very calmly, that Mama Wei peeked at Ye Yunshui's expression, and did not dare to suddenly interject again, but because of Ye Yunshui's problem, she was anxious, but after such a while, fine sweat was already oozing from her forehead.
Liu's second daughter-in-law listened to Ye Yunshui's question, pursed her mouth, raised her head and glanced at Mama Wei and said:
"The slave family didn't have the intention of coming to the palace to ask for silver, but after the slave man died, his co-workers said to the slave family, let the slave family find the palace to ask, every year in the palace work or injury, or death, all get paid, generally open the mouth to ask for twenty taels, and finally get five taels. The slave family invited someone to introduce the strict steward, but the Wei steward was also there that day, so he stopped the slave family and asked the slave family to say to Yan Mama that they wanted twenty taels, but said to the outside world that they wanted one hundred taels, otherwise they would not allow the slave family to have five taels of silver, and the slave family did not know what they meant......"
"These two housekeepers can't afford to provoke the slave family, but the slave family is now desperate and let go, if they retaliate in the future, they will not hesitate to break the net, and take their mother-in-law and children down to find Liu Er to reunite"
Liu's second daughter-in-law said, wiping a few tears.
Mama Wei's face flickered, obviously embarrassed and embarrassed, full of cautious looks.
When a few little babies saw their own mother crying, they couldn't help but pout, and the youngest one stared at the food on Ye Yunshuishi's table, and kept swallowing saliva......
Ye Yunshui turned his head and said to Hu Tao: "You take a few of their mothers down to eat something first, and I'll deal with it when I go back." ”
Liu's second daughter-in-law knelt down and thanked her, and followed Hu Tao down, Mama Wei knew that Ye Yunshui was going to deal with her first, so she quickly knelt on the ground and cried with a face: "The princess spares her life, the old slave is hard"
"Fooling the princess, any hardship is a capital crime" Hua'er immediately bluffed her, and the frightened Mama Wei hurriedly said:
"Although the old slave is in charge, the people below ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
