Chapter 58 [Half Slave and Half Master]
"Oh, there are such things as Ju," Ye Junyi was very surprised when she heard this, "These aunts are all married by the daughters of official eunuchs, aren't they so unbearable?" ”
"Hey!" Qingyu sighed and said, "It's not that the slave maid said that these aunts are not, they are playing right and wrong in front of Mrs., and after a long time, Mrs. will know." A few days ago, Aunt Ying suppressed it, and I didn't dare to do anything, Mrs. has now taken over the affairs of the house, and the people are young, they will definitely see the opportunity to come out and make trouble. Madame should be more attentive to them. ”
"So that's the case," Ye Junyi said, "I was fostered in the Zhou Mansion a few years ago, because I used to play with my second cousin who was about the same age when I was young, and I didn't want my second cousin to have thoughts about me that he shouldn't have." You also saw that situation yesterday, this person is an idiot, and when I returned to the house, the Zhou Mansion hid it from him and locked him in his own courtyard. Unexpectedly, not long after I arrived at the Zhou Mansion, I ran out of the courtyard, in addition to the fact that there will be unclean people in the Zhou Mansion, will there be unclean people in our Mansion who are ventilating the news? ”
"Madame is suspicious of those aunts?" Qingyu asked.
"My second uncle mentioned it," Ye Junyi said, "not only my aunt, but also the people around me, as for those people, he refuses to tell me, or he is only suspicious, and he doesn't know the specific people." ”
"It's really hateful," Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, "Madame, don't worry, as long as your aunt finds Ann's eyeliner, she will know the general idea as soon as she asks." But the people in Madame's house are a little tricky. The only ones who can get close to Mrs. are me, Chunlan, and Qiu Ju, and there is a big girl who has not been made up because she has not found a reliable one. Secondly, as far as the two grandmothers, Juanxiu, and Hua Gu brought by the lady, the rest were all just bought, and it stands to reason that they will not be related to the Zhou Mansion. ”
"Well," Ye Junyi said thoughtfully, "Therefore, this person must have been brought by me from the Zhou Mansion, and there are just a few people, how could they do such a thing?" But why did she do that? ”
"Since I have separated Mrs. and Master Hou," Qingyu said, "these people just can't see the master." ”
Listening to Qingyu's words, Ye Junyi raised her head, looked at her carefully, looked at Qingyu uncomfortably, thinking about her own words, her face turned red: After staying with Mrs. for so long, seeing that Mrs. is a good person, she unconsciously lost her words - Mrs. should be too careful, right?
"Qingyu, hey!" Ye Junyi lay back on the couch and sighed, "If I have a choice, I don't want to marry a man with many concubines, let me choose, I am willing to marry a man from an ordinary family, and I will stay with him for life as a husband and wife, just have rice to wrap my belly every day, and coarse cloth to cover my body is enough." However, creation makes people. ”
"Ye is a wonderful person." Qingyu Road.
"Yes, he's a very nice person, of course I know," Ye Junyi said, "but Madam, I'm a selfish person, and I don't want to share him with other women." ”
"That's what a woman is," Qingyu said in a deep voice, "Madame is not at fault for this. Besides, the master has his own wife, and he can't fit other women in his heart, so the lady should put her mind at ease. ”
"Oh, don't they hate me?" Ye Junyi smiled bitterly, "They are also women!" A group of women who treat their lord as a mountain and as an arm to rely on, aren't they pitiful? ”
"Madame's heart is too kind," Qingyu said, "The lord is moved by Mrs., put it at the tip of his heart, you pity them, if it is another ruthless man, please this today, that tomorrow, and don't take Madame in your eyes." Then these aunts will definitely cut off the skin of the lady and eat the bones without cutting off the bones. Madam, you see, you have been here for a few days, except that Aunt Ying escorted them to give you tea on that day, and sent someone to call them a few days ago, and they came reluctantly, and they still disrespected you so much. It's going to be a long time to come! ”
"Hey!" Ye Junyi sighed faintly, and then said again, "Qingyu, you are a good woman, I can't bear to hurt you!" ”
"Madame!" When Qingyu heard this, tears flowed out, and she knelt down, thinking that Mrs. didn't know, "Mrs. is too worried, Qingyu is just a maid, and she always remembers her identity, and the master gave the slave to Mrs., and in the future, Qingyu will serve Mrs. well, and don't think about it." If the lady doesn't like the slave maid, then send the slave and maid with a small maid at will. ”
"Qingyu, hurry up." Ye Junyi hurriedly got up and helped her up, hugged her and tears flowed out, after these days, I also knew that Qingyu was a very proper person, and many things were due to her, but some words must be said, separated in my heart, it was a ditch, "Madame believes in you, otherwise how could she say this?" ”
Qingyu was helped up, and quickly tried to tear the rules to set up, she was the son of the Xu Mansion, and her parents taught her the rules of being a slave and a maid as soon as she was born, no matter how she showed her face in front of her master over the years, she didn't dare to go beyond it. The scene at this time made her uneasy.
"Madam, do you want to start with Aunt Yin?" Qingyu asked after calming down. ”
"It's certain that the Yin family has a problem," Ye Junyi said, "There is something I haven't had time to deal with her yet, but whether this matter was done by her still needs to be verified, and you can't identify her because she has doubts in her heart." For the time being, let people see if she has dealings with those people these days, and see if there is anything suspicious. Several other aunts also checked, and sometimes the person who really messed up was not necessarily the one who was on the surface. ”
"Well, slave gets it." Qingyu paused for a moment, and said with some caution: "Then, the people in this house, what are the plans of Madame?" ”
"Hey!" Ye Junyi had a headache, stroked his forehead and said slowly, "I really don't want to doubt them!" But for the sake of the master, he also has to take a good look at it, if that day, this person goes to leak the master's affairs, then the matter will be big. ”
"Madame is reasonable," as soon as the master is mentioned, Qingyu's energy is very high, "If Madame is relieved, this matter will be handed over to Qingyu." Everyone in this courtyard should also be sifted again. A while ago, I was busy and roughly divided them into work, but they have not yet been registered. The slave and maid summoned them tomorrow to say that according to the rules of the Xu Mansion, they would need to observe for another ten days before they could officially determine the number of maids and stewards. Madam, do you think this method works? ”
"Okay!" Ye Junyi patted the stay and said, "This method is very good." First, these people know that they are investigating them, and they will not suspect others, second, they will expose each other in order to compete for the top share, and third, I will bring these people to know that it is the rules of the Xu Mansion, and they will not be too careful. ”
"Ma'am, that's exactly what it is." Qingyu replied with a smile.
As soon as the master and servant said this, a little maid replied outside, and Aunt Lou came.
"Madame knows, you let your aunt wait outside first." Qingyu commanded the little maid loudly, but her eyes looked at Ye Junyi, smiled and said softly, "It's just the right time, Madame can explore this person, this aunt seems to be very shrewd, a few aunts have made trouble before, obviously every time I see her shadow, but I can't stop her at all." This time, she took the initiative to come, not just didn't come up with something. ”
Ye Junyi nodded, took her hand, and got up. Qingyu took the grate to tie her messy hair.
"Where is this Lou family?" Ye Junyi asked Qingyudao.
"Mrs. Hui," Qingyu said, "This Aunt Lou's father was originally a general under the master, because the master saved this general, he saw that the master was alone and there was no one to wait, so he sent his daughter to the lord's tent to wait." I heard that this general is also a skilled general, and now he is a general on the frontier of the town. ”
"His current status, I'm afraid the master has also promoted him a lot." Ye Junyi said with a smile.
"That's natural," Qingyu straightened her messy hair and put on a cloak of fine yarn, "but now he is a great character, and he can't say that the master will be useful to him one day, so he ......."
"Therefore, this Aunt Lou is a person who cannot be offended." Ye Junyi continued, "However, which of these four aunts is a lady that I can afford to offend?" ”
"Well," Qingyu said with a strange smile on her face, "However, it's still okay for the lady of this main room to properly teach these concubines some rules." For example, let them come to the main house to establish rules, and if they don't stand well, they will be punished for copying scriptures or forbidden to be grounded or something. The old lady, the lord, and even their maiden family knew about it, and they would only say that the lady was a well-educated person who disciplined the aunts of the Xu Mansion well......"
"Flutter," Ye Junyi bent over with a smile when he heard this, "Are the ladies of other families like this?" ”
"That's natural," Qingyu said disapprovingly, "My aunt is half a master and half a slave, and since their family sent them here, they know about it, and if they are young, they are Madame's minions, and life and death must be decided by Madame." Their mother's family is powerful, they can't move, and they will be punished with a small punishment, who dares to say anything? ”
"Life and death are up to me? How is it possible? Ye Junyi thought it was funny, those aunts were not Xu Ziqian's wife, and they came in earlier than her, except that the wedding was not so grand, what was the difference, how could life and death be in their own hands?
"That's nature," Qingyu glanced at her, didn't the men in Madame's family have concubines? I don't know any of these things. "The aunts in our house are a little special, and the aunts of other families are actually not much better than the big maids and stewards. After the head of the family leaves, these aunts have children, and those who are willing to take them will be taken away, and those who have no children or whose children are unwilling to be raised, the mother-in-law with a good heart will send them to the family temple to spend the rest of their lives, and those who do not have this kindness will be driven out of the house directly, and even directly poisoned to the head of the family to accompany the funeral or be killed by the mother-in-law and abandoned in the mass grave, the latter is rare, but it is not nothing, high-ranking officials and big families do this, and people still envy their family background. ”
