Zhi Tao was a little unconvinced, "It's okay if you don't stand, and Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai will definitely be towards our five girls and the fourth young master, after all, they are in-laws who are connected by blood." ”

Hua Jin's face, which had always been calm, showed a smile of unknown meaning, but he did not mention this topic again, "Zhitao, go back and gather all the people in Hongxun Courtyard." ”

"Assembled? All? The peach was a little puzzled.

"Yes, all. Whether it is a maid or a servant, the one who serves in the room or the one who sweeps outside. After breakfast, they all went to the flower hall in our second room. ”

"Yes, Fifth Girl. The slave and the maid will go. ”

"Also, last time I asked you to ask someone to go outside to make a wooden plank and a wooden sign with a person's name written on it, I also took it together."

Zhi Tao nodded, and hurriedly went to do what the five girls had explained.

Bai Tao was a little nervous, "Five girls, all the subordinates of Hongxun Courtyard, there are dozens of people in total, if it is ......" If you say a word to me, I'm afraid the five girls will not be able to bear it.

Feeling Bai Tao's nervousness, Hua Jin showed a faint smile, "One, two and dozens, what's the difference." ”

Looking at the slender and delicate figure of the fifth girl, exuding such a calm and calm momentum, Bai Tao only felt that her heart had also settled down.

…………

As a maid and servant of a noble family like Zhang Fu, in addition to being able to get a higher salary than ordinary people, hard work and prudence are what these inferior people with slavery must abide by all their lives.

Every day before dawn, these maids and servants began to get up and perform their duties to serve their masters.

After a busy morning, they could only take a breath when they went to the lady's room to greet the hosts and have breakfast, and nothing went wrong in between.

Of course, this tension and busyness are also for those who serve their masters with all their hearts.

Since the second room and five girls took over the general affairs of Honghun Courtyard, they have not asked half a word about the good or bad errands in this courtyard, which gives some people who like to take advantage of opportunism.

Seeing that the breakfast in each house has been withdrawn, and there will be no major mistakes in the master's house, there are many people who have returned from the people's room that should be empty at this time.

A servant woman who was working in the pantry pushed open the door at this time, and when she saw that several servants were chatting, she took out a bag from her bosom

The melon seeds were thrown on the kang, "Just have those little maids busy outside, let's talk while eating." ”

It's just that as soon as the melon seed bag wrapped in oiled paper was opened, a little maid hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, "Mother Duan, Mother Song, the five girls summoned everyone to the flower hall?" ”

"To the flower hall?" Duan's mother, who came in later, frowned, and raised the handful of melon seeds she had just grabbed in her hand to the kang, "Don't let people be idle, it's not enough to have those little maids, I want to toss our old bones." ”

The little maid was so frightened that she took a step back, "Yes...... It's all the subordinates who have to go. ”

And the servant woman known as Mother Song's eyes rolled slightly, "I want to see what kind of moth this fifth girl can make." ”

…………

Hua Jin felt that her appetite this morning was exceptionally good, and she didn't know if it was the plate of emerald green cucumbers and sweet and glutinous red beans and barley glutinous rice porridge, she actually used half a bowl more than usual.

As soon as he put down the chopsticks in his hand, Zhi Tao opened the curtain and hurriedly came in, "Fifth girl, the matter you ordered the slave and the maid has been done." ”

Hua Jin picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his lips, "Have all those subordinates arrived?" ”

"I'm going to the flower hall one after another."

Hua Jin bowed slightly, but instructed Bai Tao, "Come to the tea, and soak the newly appreciated Lushan clouds and mist from Mrs. Tai." ”

Yanran served Hua Jin and rinsed her mouth, and Bai Tao brought tea.

Hua Jin picked up the tea cup and lifted the lid, and the green tea leaves bloomed in the azure Ru kiln tea set, which was beautiful.

After sitting on the big kang by the window and slowly tasting a cup of tea, he took the white peach and the peach out of his own yard in the east wing.

As soon as I walked to the outer Ming Hall, I saw Lingxiang push the door and come in, "Fifth girl, the slave maid has just gone to see it again, and the people have already arrived." Seeing that Hua Jin only nodded slightly, she added, "Everyone is worried that their master has no one to serve?" ”

Zhitao has always said bluntly, "I'm worried about it again at this time, why don't you say it when you're lazy." ”

Hua Jin still quietly lifted the corners of his skirt and stepped out of the threshold.

The flower hall of Honghun Courtyard is not like those mansions in Jiangnan, and the beauty of the construction is that it can take in the picturesque garden scenery of the four seasons.

At this time, the flower hall that Hua Jin entered was a small open hall built by connecting the main room and the back hood room, and sometimes Luo or Du's mother would pass some words to the housekeepers here.

Gathering all the people of Honghun Courtyard here, it seems that this place is cramped and crowded. In addition, there are many individuals who are talking about each other, and it is even more lively.

But when Bai Tao opened the curtain and Hua Jin walked in slowly, all the discussion stopped abruptly, and most people looked at this little ruler with deep eyes.

Hua Jin walked to the front of the flower hall, and took off his cloak by Bai Tao, and then slowly sat on the chair next to the only Eight Immortals table in the room.

A petite doll, what's so scary?

Some people couldn't help but straighten their backs, and some coughed lightly, but quickly regained their quiet.

Hua Jin's hand holding the handkerchief rested lightly on the table, and gently tapped the table with his index finger, "When ...... When ......" seems to have a rhythmic sound, it becomes clearer and clearer in the quiet room.

In this way, again and again, after about half a pillar of incense, she saw that fine beads of sweat had appeared on the heads of some of the people.

Hua Jin's fingers moved away from the table, but he waved his hand at Zhi Tao.

Zhi Tao nodded, and Bai Tao, Ling Xiang, and Yan Ran carried the prepared wooden board with people's names on the table, and put a wooden box with a normal texture in front of the wooden board.

At this moment, all the subordinates standing in front of them looked at each other......

Hua Jin still watched all this quietly, until Zhi Tao handed her a booklet again.

Hua Jin coughed lightly, and his voice was crisp and powerful, "Calling everyone over today is nothing more than to do better things in the future." ”

The speed of his speech was not slow, and his eyes were blazing and he looked around at everyone, "What I hold in my hand is the code of conduct and reward regulations for all the subordinates of Hongxun Courtyard from now on. Without waiting for everyone to discuss, he opened the booklet, "I'll read it to everyone, and when I'm done, everyone can ask if they don't understand." ”
