Chapter 614: Doubts (Part II)

The newcomer returned to the door, and the man was about to start dismantling the shed, removing the seat, and removing the stove. The stewards and servants in the outer courtyard are busy, and the housekeepers and mothers in the inner courtyard are not easy. Cleaning the courtyard, returning the furnishings, counting things, and settling the number of refreshments and wine feasts, which one of them must be reported to Shi Niang. Despite this, Shi Niang still moved everything backwards, and first called Hongwen to ask Brother Jin'er's situation: "What have you done in the past two days?" ”

With her understanding of her son, Brother Jin will look for a maid and a mother to eat when he is hungry, and he will go to wear it when he is cold. The only thing she was worried about was that he was in trouble, and everyone helped him hide it.

Fortunately, Hongwen also has his own worries - although there was no accident this time, there is no guarantee that he will be so lucky next time. Hou Ye regarded the sixth young master as golden, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, he would reward them with fifty taels of silver for serving by the sixth young master's side, which was comparable to a steward in the outer courtyard. Because of this, Gu's mother has always wanted to go out, but now that she has gone out, she is still thinking of a way to ask someone to get her sister in to serve the sixth young master. If the sixth young master had any mistakes, they would have taken fifty taels of silver more than the other maids and mothers...... Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart.

I wandered around Eleven Niang for several days, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to answer in front of Eleven Niang.

Now that Eleven Niang took the initiative to mention it, where did she dare to hesitate, and hurriedly told Eleven Niang about the events of that day.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The two young masters will be in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard for a while, and there are some places where we can't follow, so we asked Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu to watch. It was fine before. On the day of the dowry, Old Marquis Sun specially asked the sixth young master and the seventh young master to come over to talk, Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu didn't dare to go in and waited outside the door. But until the fifth master sent the old marquis Sun out of the house, the sixth young master and the seventh young master did not come out, and the two went into the flower hall to look for them, but the errand girls in the flower hall all covered their mouths and smiled, but they didn't tell them where they went. The two begged grandpa to tell grandma, and then a maid secretly pointed to the warm pavilion, and said that this was ordered by the sixth young master, so let the two of them not be told.

The two of them hurried in to look for it, but there was no one to see. At this moment, the room full of people panicked. Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu were looking for one near the flower hall, and the other came to the inner courtyard to report the news...... When the slave found the sixth young master, the sixth young master and the seventh young master were setting off firecrackers with incense and candles...... Seeing that those little guys were rude to the fifth young master, the slave maid went up and scolded him...... This punishment servant fΓΉ is the housekeeper of the mothers, and the slave maid is just an errand in the sixth young master's house, taking advantage of the sixth young master's momentum, he does not dare to ruin the reputation of the sixth young master, and only scares those people away. I was afraid that the sixth young master would take the liberty to find the steward, and found a man who only knew how to flatter and cater to the master, and drove the wolf and the tiger, so he accompanied the sixth young master to the head of Bai...... Later, the sixth young master went to find Hou Ye again...... The slave maid had time to report to Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu, saying that the sixth young master and the seventh young master had found it, but they didn't dare to leave, and they had been accompanying the sixth young master ......"

Anyway, Xu Sijie is also the master, in order to tie up with Brother Jin, he didn't even pay attention to Xu Sijie, which shows how big his heart is!

Eleven Niang hates those who move those ignorant children for their own benefit. In her previous life, she didn't know how many such examples she had seen. Good children end up being a danger to society.

She was furious, and slapped her palm on the kang table, and the tea cup on the kang table shook "Peng Peng", and her face turned white with fright, and her forehead was sweaty.

"Which two mothers were on an errand that day?" Eleven Niang shouted to Zhu Xiang to come in, "Call someone in for me!" ”

Eleven Niang has never been so angry with sè, and Zhu Xiang's god sè can't help but be a little nervous. She whispered "yes" and quickly ushered in two mother-like men.

"Which little guys were courteous in front of the Sixth Young Master that day?" Eleven Niang looked coldly at her mother who was kneeling at her feet, and did not gently call them up as usual, "I left you on an errand, and you actually let people in without paying attention to them." I don't even know when the main house of Yongping Hou became a hall, and anyone can enter and exit arbitrarily! Within a quarter of an hour, you will be called to the door without landing on the ground. I'd like to see which steward taught it, and he doesn't know how to do it! ”

The Yongping Marquis Mansion has been established for more than 100 years, and the personnel in the mansion are complicated, and those little guys also have parents who are familiar with each other. It's just that he wants to make a face in front of the sixth young master and beg for food. The two of them turned one eye open and one eye closed. Red Stripe asked them to go to the steward to kidnap them, and they secretly screamed in their hearts that they were terrible, and dragged on to see the situation unfold. Seeing that Hongwen accompanied Brother Jin to Mr. Bai, he wanted to be a good person, so he was busy ventilating and reporting to his acquaintances, and asked someone to find a way. Who knew that the red-veined thunder was loud and rainy, and then it was over. The two of them just breathed a sigh of relief, and were called in by Eleven Niang and reprimanded.

They are all old people in the house, and they have never eaten pork and seen pigs run. This matter has to be said from the "small", but the little guys are young and ignorant, and they accompany the master to make trouble, which is unstable; To say from the "big", that is, knowing that it is harmful to the master, he still coaxes him, leads the master to have fun, and no one dares to ask for mercy when the skin is open. Now it seems that Eleven Niang is clearly going to say "big" and deal with a few small guys.

The two couldn't help but exchange glances.

Madame only asked them to find someone, and did not ask them...... It must have taken this anger out on a few of the little guys.

The two couldn't help but feel lucky. I just hope that Eleven Niang's anger will be treated lightly after they are gone.

But if the errand is not done well, it is impossible to say where this fire will burn at that time!

The two hurriedly responded "yes" and went out in a panic.

Eleven Niang instructed Zhu Xiang: "You go to the Hanging Flower Gate with red lines, and call me when you see everyone arrive." ”

Zhu Xiang and Hongwen cautiously responded and went to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Eleven walked around the house twice in a girly manner, then calmed down and thought about it, and went to Brother Jin'er.

The golden sunlight of early winter shone in, and the room was bright and warm.

Wearing a big red lotus carp brocade jacket, Brother Jin held a brush, and wrote something on the kang table seriously, and the snow-white Chengxin paper was pressed with a lying deer paperweight carved from Hetian jade. The maid Ah Jin smiled and stood by the kang to help Brother Jin grind the ink.

Hearing the movement, both of them looked over to this side.

Ah Jin hurriedly bent his knees and saluted, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on Brother Jin'er's face.

"Mother, mother!" He put the pen on the pen holder of sweet white porcelain and jumped on the big kang with his arms outstretched.

Eleven Niang stepped forward with a smile and hugged her son: "What are you doing?" "The voice is as gentle as a March breeze.

Brother Jin threw herself into her mother's arms, and her smile became even brighter.

"I'm drawing!" As he spoke, he picked up the Chengxin paper on the kang table, "Look! ”

The painting was covered with deep and shallow ink, and I didn't know what it was.

Without waiting for Eleven Niang to ask, Brother Jin also said: "This is the bamboo I painted." ”

"Where are the bamboo poles? Where are the bamboo leaves? Eleven Niang sat on the side of the kang and asked her son.

Brother Jin pointed to a few thick vertical ink marks: "This is a bamboo pole." He pointed to a few shorter, messier ink marks, "This is a leaf!" ”

Shi Niang looked at it carefully and said, "No wonder I can't tell what is a bamboo pole and what is a bamboo leaf." Brother Jin'er's bamboo pole does not have bamboo knots. As he spoke, he took a pen and drew a few strokes on another piece of Chengxin paper, and immediately sketched the shadow of Qingzhu.

Brother Jin tilted his head and looked at it for a long time: "My mother didn't draw it right." I went to the second aunt to see, and the bamboos in the yard of the second aunt were all grown together in large groups. ”

That's realistic, this is freehand, okay?

But for a five-year-old child, he couldn't understand this.

Eleven Niang smiled helplessly and moked Brother Jin'er's head: "But Brother Jin'er didn't draw it right!" Otherwise, you go and ask the fourth and fifth brothers' gentlemen how to draw this bamboo! ”

Brother Jin nodded, and immediately put on his shoes to ask.

Ah Jin hurriedly stopped: "Sixth Young Master, Mr. Zhao is only afraid that he is still lecturing at this time." It's never too late for us to go again in the afternoon. ”

"Won't you give a lecture in the afternoon?" He stunned Ah Jin for a moment.

Eleven Niang encouraged the child to sit up and walk, and smiled and motioned to Ah Jin to put on his brother's shoes.

Zhu Xiang came in: "Madam, those little guys have all called to the Hanging Flower Gate." ”

"Let them wait there first." Eleven Niang said, "You go and call Manager Bai in." ”

Zhu Xiang left in response.

Brother Jin looked at Eleven Niang curiously.

Eleven Niang didn't move, and said lightly: "Mother wants to punish those few little guys who pick up firecrackers for you!" ”

"But," Brother Jin said puzzled, "I asked them to pick up firecrackers!" Aren't they supposed to listen to me? ”

"My mother once taught you that there are three unfilial pieties. Do you remember which three? Eleven Niang asked her son gently.

Brother Jin thought for a long time, raised his head and pursed his lips to look at his mother and smiled: "No queen is great!" ”

Eleven Niang also laughed.

It was indeed a bit difficult for him to memorize all three of them at his age.

"The thing is that Ah Yi is obedient, trapped in injustice, and unfilial; The family is poor and old, not for Lu Shi, and the second is not filial; Don't marry and have no children, never worship ancestors, and don't be filial. Eleven Niang explained to him carefully, "...... You see, even parents have to point out their mistakes to be considered filial piety. How much more are these servants who are servants? Knowing that you are wrong, in order to make you happy, I also help you pick up firecrackers. And your fifth brother stopped you, and those little guys turned their heads against him regardless of their humility. Eleven Niang said, "Whether a person is good or not, it can be seen from this point!" ”

Brother Jin nodded suddenly.

Only then did Eleven Niang smile comfortably: "Let's go, let's go to the hall and wait for Manager Bai to come!" ”

Brother Jin jumped up and followed her mother to the hall.

After a while, Mr. Bai came.

"Go and find out who disciplines these little guys. dared to contradict the fifth young master and instigate the sixth young master. Eleven Niang said solemnly, "I was tied up with those little guys." The stewards each made ten boards and deducted one month's wages. The little ones each played 30 boards, and then asked their parents to take them back. He also instructed, "Give me a slow beating, so that everyone in the house knows why they have been beaten this board." ”

In this way, these little guys will also have to weigh their actions in the future.

As a person in charge of Bai, he inquired clearly about the purpose of Eleven Niang's call to come long before he met Eleven Niang. But when she heard that Eleven Niang had to tie up and beat the steward who was disciplining the little maid, she was still taken aback: "Tie up the steward too...... This, this...... Isn't that too ......."

does not directly control the stewardship of the outer courtyard through the Hou Ye...... This is something that the Xu family has never done before!
