Chapter 54: The Rules to be followed
A little to the right are three gardenias and three daisies, all of which are already blooming very well. The large white gardenia is blooming fragrantly, but unfortunately the daisies are also blooming, and if you want to soak in water with the fetal chrysanthemum, you have to wait for another flowering period. Once the crops in the space are ripe, they will stop growing and will not decay, but if you want to get their growth period form, you have to see the time for yourself.
There are still quite a lot of Qiankun bags in the sleeping building, and Yiyi happily picked gardenias and packed them into a Qiankun bag, feeling that it is quite strange to pile gardenias on the ground like sweet potatoes and vegetables.
Although the space of each Qiankun bag is large enough, Yiyi's favorite things are stored separately. After waiting for a few more needles on her fingertips, Yiyi decided to take the time to buy more bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo screens, so that it is convenient to take out the space directly.
When I saw the eight tea trees, I almost burst into tears, what a thick branch and leaf! The only thing that can comfort Yiyi is that she has received a lot of tea tree seeds. After picking the seeds, Yiyi prunes off the top buds of the tea leaves that are too dense, and there is no way to wait for the next time.
Yiyi is in the ceramics business, has a lot of research on tea utensils, and also likes tea.
Fuliang tea has been famous since ancient times, and the adjacent Qimen black tea is famous all over the world and has the reputation of "black tea queen". In her previous life, Mother Lin was a technician in a tea factory before she became a full-time housewife, and she had a good hand in stir-frying tea.
Yiyi reached the age of being able to hold a spatula, and the first thing to fry was not vegetables, but to use his hands as a shovel and stir-fry tea with his bare hands. It took Yiyi three years to learn Lin's mother's one-handed roasted tea skills. During the summer vacation of college, he also worked as a tea master in a tea performance organized by a tea company several times.
Therefore, the tea Yiyi has its own insistence, and the most exclusive thing after arriving in Xun is the current "end tea" and "mixed tea", the good tea leaves are roasted and dried and then ground into powder, the form of the tea is finished, and the taste will be destroyed; The addition of mint, dogwood, green onion, ginger, dates, etc., completely destroys the true taste of tea. At least Yiyi doesn't like it very much, and Yiyi is very much looking forward to being able to drink the tea she likes right away.
After the tea trees were taken care of, because the plants were to be improved, Yiyi only planted three tea tree seeds of each kind; Yiyi marked a place on the left side of the farmhouse to take the collected fruits and plant a new round of fruit trees, as if there were three of each variety. The rest of the land was reclaimed first, and potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted first. This land is only a dozen acres in size, and she has to plan and use it well.
I don't know what Chiqiong is busy with, and I haven't seen anyone several times in a row. It should be stepping up his cultivation, after all, he has spent a lot of time refining the marrow pill for himself recently. Yiyi endured not to disturb him, although he was not used to it.
Yiyi looked at the time after leaving the space, and pushed the door to the courtyard, and the three of them who lived in the inner courtyard were busy coming out, and Yiyi waved their hands to let them go back to the room to rest.
"Isn't the young lady waiting for the slaves badly, so you don't like us to follow." Nuan Yu mustered up the courage to ask this, and the other two maids also looked at her worriedly.
Although it has only been a few days since she came to the house, Nuan Yu has already seen that the young lady is very lenient and never embarrasses them, and she has never even said anything serious and hurtful. But not only did the young lady not rely on personal maids like other ladies in the boudoir, but she never even wanted them to serve with her or laugh with them. That is, Huaxiang can comb the young lady's hair every day, and the other maids feel disgusted.
"I don't need someone to serve me, you can help me by taking care of this yard. I am your master in this family, and I just need to do what I have to do. Yiyi saw that a few maids were still stunned, and said with a bad look: "I have been overseas for many years, and I have long lost that pampering." I don't need a maid, I need a helper, so I only look at ability and obedience, I don't need to be empathetic, and I can't figure out my mind. β
"Master?!" A few maids are still a little hesitant, are they being praised by the young lady for their ability?
"I just returned to Miyan, and I don't know how other people in Beijing treat the maids. Today I'm going to talk about my rules here. "Yiyi is busy so far, and I haven't used the experience of selling people before, so I haven't been in a hurry to set rules for them.
In the past, when I was in charge of a few clerks, everyone had a job to do, and when they didn't have a job, they were at ease. These maids are probably so anxious because they are afraid that they will be rejected by their own families and will be resold again.
"Miss, please do not hesitate to command." A few little girls are really positive, and the young lady has set rules for them, which is intended to use them for a long time. Whew~ Down-to-earth!
"Then call all the people in the courtyard!" Yiyi went to the main house and sat down.
Huaxiang called everyone Qi and said that Miss wanted to set rules for everyone, and everyone was very quiet one by one.
Yiyi then said: "You are all my people, and your contract of sale is also received by me." You can respect the other masters in the house, and you only need to listen to me in this family. β
Yiyi looked at the crowd and said, "My rules are simple: First: I am the only master of you; Article 2: Do not ask the reason for what I have commanded. Article 3: It is forbidden to spread the affairs of the courtyard or discuss them in private. Can it be done? β
The eight of them hurriedly said, "Obey the orders of the eldest lady." "It is not permissible for a slave to speak privately about the rights and wrongs of his master's house. The minions who chew the root of their tongues when they get serious have no good end, they have all been taught harshly by Liu Yapo, how can they be so ignorant of life and death.
According to the "Xun Law": "Slaves and maids are cheap, and the law is better than animal property" and "the law is disposed of by the master", and the law stipulates that selling slaves is the private property of the master, and the master has the right to dispose of it.
The master kills a slave and a maid without going through the government with a hundred rods, and kills an innocent slave and maid for only one year. If an official commits a crime under this article, his sentence shall be reduced by three degrees. If the slave or maid is guilty, and the master asks the official to kill him, he is not guilty; And the slave or maidservant, even if he kills his master with negligence, shall be hanged.
The "Xun Law" clearly stipulates that "the son sues his parents, the woman sues the authority, and the slave and maid sue the master, the master's parents and the wife, do not listen." And the city of the abandoners. "Even if you sue the elders with inferiority, the judicial department will not listen to them, and they will behead the accuser and abandon the city.
"All the slaves and maids, sue the master, and those who are not rebels, rebels, or rebels, are hanged. Those who are close to their maternal grandparents during the period of suing the Lord shall be exiled for 2,000 miles and imprisoned for 1 year. "That is, the subordinate sues the master, the three major crimes of rebellion, great treason, and treason, and the informant who is not convicted of the crime is guilty of capital crimes; The slave and maid sued the master's blood relatives for three generations, and the informant who was convicted of the crime was sentenced to one year in prison and exiled for 2,000 miles.
The law stipulates that if a slave or maid kills the master, it is regarded as one of the "ten evils" of the "great rebellion", even if it is amnesty, it is not within the limit of amnesty.
The law of Xun has stipulated that the slave is the private property of the master, and the master has the power to kill him; In order to prevent slaves from committing crimes and planting crimes, the law even explicitly stipulates that slaves must keep all crimes except rebellion, rebellion, and treason for their masters. So the requirements of obedience are even more lenient than those prescribed by the law, and these requirements are not a problem at all.
Originally, as long as the masters of this era were not too cowardly and naΓ―ve, they would not be betrayed and bullied by their slaves. It's just that there is only one head of the big family, but there are many masters, and those who are not strong often can't control the subordinates who serve closely, and they will spontaneously submit to the most powerful people in the family.
Obedient and not talkative, this is the basic requirement for a slave to be loyal to his master; The eldest lady is a woman who has not left the cabinet, but she can buy them out of her own pocket, and can control their deeds of sale in one hand, she must be a person who can control their fate and have the ability to provide them with shelter. Therefore, they only listen to the orders of the eldest lady, and even if the other masters of the family ask them, they will never reveal it.
