Chapter 41 [Redeeming the Aunt]
Ye Junyi brought the two girls to Beiyuan, Qingyu brought dozens of maids and women who were already waiting in the courtyard gate, and when they saw the three masters coming, they were all blessed. Ye Junyi saw this battle for the first time, and his heart was a little weak, but his face was silent, he nodded, and followed Qingyu into the courtyard.
The ancients have always sat in the north and faced south, so this north garden is also the main courtyard, first is the door of the three entrances, and then you see a big fountain standing in the courtyard, the pond is a huge Taihu Lake strange stone, there are several thousand-year-old trees around the courtyard, the left side is to set up a shelf, the gourd branches and vines planted are full, and the milky white flowers are not exposed in the lush leaves; On the right side is vacant and leads directly to the next few side rooms. On the left side is the hand verandah with two wings, in the middle of the five main houses, the eaves verandah are all decorated with exquisite paintings, hanging with the figures, flowers and pink palace lamps, it is really not magnificent.
She first arranged for the two girls to live in the two wings on the left, and the things and things had already been prepared, just put on the daily necessities that the two girls were used to.
Arrange to deliver to the next person, just to the middle of the big house, the advanced outer room in front of the ebony table and two Taishi chairs, the left side is a couch made of the same wood, the couch is a small door, into is a passing hut, out is the back garden, she has heard that the garden is more than ten acres large, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds. Open a door to the right, and there is her bedroom.
"Madam," Qingyu said, "the furniture in this bedroom is newly made of yellow rosewood, which is only now a tribute, and all kinds of ornaments are also all kinds of treasures given from above, and it is said that even the favored lady may not be able to use these best products." ”
"In this way, won't we save a lot of silver taels in our house." Ye Junyi walked to the couch in the house and sat down, and said with a smile.
"Yes, the one above is hanging with the lord and the wife." Qingyu took off her shoes and helped her lie down.
"It's just that there are so many people in this courtyard," Ye Junyi said, "If there are too many people, it will be mixed, and I am afraid that it will be easy to give birth to some right and wrong." ”
Qingyu listened, and said: "One housekeeper in the house, four first-class maids, six second-class maids, six in the courtyard, eight mother-in-law and maids in the small kitchen, six mother-in-law and maids in the two girls' rooms, and six housekeepers in the back garden, this is still ranked, and the rest of the rough subordinates are not allowed to show up in front of the lady and the girl." ”
Ye Junyi couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart when he heard this, no wonder someone in ancient times said in a poem: Zhumen dog meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road.
"In the past, Mrs. lived in the master's study, and it was inconvenient to arrange so many people, but when I came here, it was arranged according to the rules, and there were seven or eight people living in each aunt's house." Qingyu continued, "Everyone who gets the job has a steward in charge, and the steward in the house is in charge, and whoever causes trouble will have to seek the accountability of the steward, Madame can rest assured." ”
"Alas," Ye Junyi lay down tiredly and sighed, "Mama Li is a capable person, but she went, this Mama Xu is not familiar with it, and she is not very effective, she is in charge of things, and you have to come to take care of it more, and I know that you will be given double copies of your monthly case." ”
"Yes," this Qingyu didn't squirm, "It's Qingyu's duty to share it for his wife." ”
The master and servant were chatting, and there was a little maid outside who was rumored to be Aunt Zeng's grandmother asking to see her.
"Ugh." Ye Junyi, who was so tired that he didn't want to move his fingers, sighed.
"Madame, rest first, an aunt's aunt's nurse, don't be there." Qingyu said on the side.
"No," Ye Junyi thought for a moment and ordered, "Let her in, this Zeng family has been so weird since she started, it makes me so curious, and let her nurse come in to see what is going on with her." ”
"Yes." When Qingyu heard this, she told the little maid to call her to talk back outside, but she helped Ye Junyi to get up again.
As soon as Ye Junyi was half-lying on the couch in the outer room, a woman in her forties was brought in.
"The slave and the slave have seen the lady." This woman was polite, and although she was dressed as a subordinate, she was also well-dressed, and she must have a good face and a good upbringing when she was young.
"Mama Xing is not waiting by my aunt's side, but why did she come to Mrs. Ben?" Ye Junyi asked her lazily.
"Mrs. Hui," the torturer choked up a little, and ran to the ground with a loudspeak, "Aunt Zeng is young and ignorant, and she bumped into Madame, please forgive Madame." ”
"Hmph," Chunlan next to her snorted coldly, "Collision? Forgive? She wants to harm Mrs., causing my sister Qingyu to almost die, Mrs. hasn't done anything to her, a grounding, just can't stand it? ”
"Madam," the criminal begged bitterly, "my aunt's father is also a prefect, and when I was at home, the whole family also held my aunt in the palm of my hand, and I could bear such suffering?" Since childhood, I have been accustomed to a delicate temper, and I can't stand half of the grievances, if it goes on like this, even if the body can support it, my heart is thinking about the broken thing, and I hope Mrs. begs for mercy. ”
"Oh?" Ye Junyi didn't quite understand when he heard this, sat up straight, looked at Xing Shi and said, "It's just that you're confined indoors, how can you say it so seriously?" But what happened? ”
"Madame," the Torturer cried, "Madame, don't you know the rules of this house?" This grounding is not only guarded by the mother-in-law outside, and cannot go out of the inner room for half a step, and not only has only a small bowl and a half bowl of porridge for three meals, but also has to copy 300 Buddhist scriptures every day. If it is the daughter of other ordinary people, my aunt is a person who can't stand too much wrongdoing, the first miscarriage was grounded for three days, she sneaked out to find the old lady, and was sent back by the Hou Ye to be grounded for half a month, she was heartbroken, and ran out to trouble the lady, but this time it was only grounded, and it was not said for long. We were not allowed to go in or come out, but I peeked at it last night, and that man, that man, was already half dead! Madame, Madame, see mercy, woo......"
Ye Junyi was stunned for a while, and looked up to see Qingyu, Qingyu nodded and said, "Master doesn't care about the affairs of the house, Aunt Ying is very strict in governing the family." ”
"Then you go on a trip with Mama Xing," Ye Junyi said, "Tell those mothers-in-law who are guarding the door to leave, let the waiting subordinates go in and wait, and also go to the kitchen to order, stew some supplements for Aunt Zeng this time, make some good food and supplements, and if necessary, call the imperial doctor to come too." ”
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." When the Xing clan heard this, he kowtowed in thanks.
Qingyu called her up and walked out with her.
"Madam," said the Guilty Clan, who walked to the door, hesitated, and then turned around, "Madam, my aunt is actually a scheming and simple-minded person, and I am afraid that someone will provoke her actions." ”
"Oh," Ye Junyi also felt very strange about this matter, "Have you found out that your aunt has been in contact with someone of unknown origin during this time?" ”
"That's ...... No," Xing thought for a moment, and said, "It's just that some time ago, Aunt Yu, who never interacted with us, sent her nurse a few times, and when she came the first time, she just chatted for a while and gave her a sachet; A few times later, as soon as she came, my aunt sent us out, and I don't know what we were talking about. ”
"Oh, what does that sachet look like?" Ye Junyi asked her.
"The sachet," Xing Shi listened and thought about it, "it is azure, not very good-looking, it seems to be a man's thing, the outside is bare, there is no half a stitch, but the back is embroidered with a very beautiful flower, small, not to be seen without looking carefully." After the aunt got this thing, she regarded it as a treasure and kept it in her arms all day long, and even the slave and maid were not allowed to touch it for half a minute. ”
"Oh, I see." Ye Junyi was tired and lay down again, "You go back to take care of your aunt first, if your aunt needs anything, just come to Mrs. Ben." ”
Xing listened to it, sang a promise and walked out.
The last words of the criminal clan were the same as not saying, Aunt Yu's nurse had already been dealt with by Xu Ziqian, not to mention that Yu Qi'er was a tough person, and she didn't seem to be a person who could do dirty things like that.
Ye Junyi didn't bother to think about this, and went back to the back room to rest.
"Woo woo woo ......"
It's no wonder that the old lady who likes to be quiet is reluctant to take these two girls with her, no, Ye Junyi is asleep, but she can hear them crying again.
Ye Junyi got up, got dressed, and walked out of the door, but saw Jingyi sitting under the hustle, the dog sitting next to her and looking at her with blank eyes, and the nurse and maid standing on both sides like sculptures.
"Jingyi," Ye Junyi walked to her side and squatted down, pulling her little hand, "What's the matter?" Why not? Is it okay to tell your mother? ”
"Mother," Jing Yi looked at her timidly, "no, no....... It's Jingyi who is not good ......."
"It's not good for a child to lie," Ye Junyi touched her little face softly, "Jingyi is a good child, her mother knows, tell her mother what's wrong." ”
"Mother, Jingyi wasn't born by a dog, was she?" Jingyi's little hands rubbed together.
"Ahh Ye Junyi was stunned for a while when she heard this, and glanced at the nurse who was standing up straight, "What's the matter?"
"Mother, don't be angry," Jing Yi thought she was going to punish her grandmother, and quickly wiped her tears with sobbing, "Jing Yi didn't ask." ”
The nurse saw the blessing and replied, "Just now the second girl said that she was born to her aunt, and the eldest girl was born to a dog." ”
"Why, hasn't the eldest girl seen the aunt who gave birth to her?" Ye Junyi asked her.
"This," the grandmother glanced at Jingyi and whispered back, "No." The old lady said that her hometown is like this, and she only knows her grandmother and mother, but she does not necessarily know the people who are alive. ”
"Then you haven't told the big girl about such things?" Ye Junyi was very angry and unconsciously raised his voice.
"The lady has only been in the Xu Mansion for a short time, and there are some things that she does not know," the nurse continued, "Aunt Ying has ordered that such things should not be discussed in front of the girl, and how can the slave and maid mention them?" Aunt Ying is very strict in governing the family, a while ago, the second girl's nurse took the girl, met Aunt Yin, told the truth, and let Aunt Yin play with the second girl for a while, after that, all the people in the third girl's house were changed, and the nurse disappeared, I am afraid that she will be sold. ”
"Ridiculous!" Ye Junyi thought in her heart that this Qian Hongying was really too much, if she came in as an aunt......
"Come on," she stood up angrily, "Qingyu, go and inform your aunts that you will come to my house early tomorrow morning to greet my wife." ”
"Yes." Qingyu listened, and went down to arrange it without mentioning it.
Let's say this Jingyi, when she saw that Ye Junyi was angry, she was even more frightened, pulled the corner of her clothes, and said timidly: "Mother, don't be angry, Jingyi doesn't ask, okay?" ”
"No," Ye Junyi bent down distressedly, held her little face and said gently: "Jingyi asked well, mother is telling you now, dogs can only give birth to puppies, and it is Aunt Yu who gave birth to Jingyi, so tomorrow my mother will let Jingyi see her, okay?" ”
"Really? Mother, can you still see her? Jingyi was so happy to hear this, and after a while, she smiled again, "Mother, Huanhuan really didn't eat Mimi, you tell your sister that she is not afraid of Huanhuan and play with Jingyi, okay?" ”
"Okay, Mother will go later." Junyi smiled and touched her head, "Go back to your room." ”
Jingyi obediently blessed her, and happily led her Huanhuan back.
