Chapter 47: A Slave Must Be a Slave
Those subordinates in Shen Xuanlin's courtyard were escorted over, and there was no need to interrogate them at all, and Shen Dong was already furious. The faces of those subordinates were drunk, exuding bursts of alcohol, and they clearly looked like they hadn't sobered up yet.
Xiao sneered: "I really haven't seen such a bold minion, and he is even more nourishing than his master." ”
Shen Dong slapped the table suddenly, and the teacups on the table were shaken and jumped, making a loud noise: "Okay, you bold minions, you really have a lot of courage!" ......"He's going to drag them all out and beat them to death."
"Father," Shen Ninghua interrupted Shen Dong's words loudly, "Grandmother is in poor health, so it's better not to see blood staining her yard, lest she be bumped." ”
Shen Dong frowned and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the Xiao family: "Mother, what do you think these people should do?" ”
Xiao's eyes swept over Shen Ninghua: "It turns out that you handed over the backyard to me to take care of, but you have also seen that my body is not as good as day by day, it is better not to hold the power, I think about handing over the power of the housekeeper to the Su family, she is a lively person and will not move any crooked eyes." As for these subordinates, leave it to Ning Hua to deal with. Ning Hua is the most kind-hearted, and when he saw his younger brother being treated harshly this time, he must have a lot of anger in his heart. ”
Shen Dong handed over the power of the housekeeper to the Xiao family, just because he didn't want the people in the second and third rooms to interfere, but now that the Xiao family opened his mouth to bring the Su family up, he couldn't refute anything openly, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Everything is arranged by my mother." ”
Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Ning Hua, take these people down and dispose of them." ”
Shen Ninghua felt a trace of coldness in his heart, and nodded respectfully: "Father, the actions of these subordinates are arrogant, maybe there will be people who will be more excessive than them in the future, since you want to deal with them, why don't you come and make an example of the monkeys, and call all the minions over to watch the punishment?" ”
"Well, yes, you can look at the arrangement." Shen Dong felt that there was nothing to do, so he nodded indifferently.
"Then I'll ask my father to order the minions in your yard to come over later."
Shen Dong hesitated for a while, thinking that Shen Ninghua wanted him to come out and support him, so he didn't object: "Okay, don't make too much trouble." ”
"Yes, Ning Hua retired." Shen Ninghua got up, turned around and instructed Qingque, "Call all the people of the Shen family to the edge of the garden pond, remember, it's all the people, even if you break your leg, if you have a breath, carry it to me." ”
"Yes, miss."
Shen Ninghua raised the corners of her lips, and the corner of her eyes saw Xiao Shi, whose expression suddenly froze, and smiled coldly in her heart, Xiao Shi must have guessed that all this was designed by her behind her back, so she handed over those subordinates to her to dispose of. This was just to make things difficult for her.
If she is punished too severely, then the kind image she deliberately created will be gone, and a person who is ruthless and good at disguise will naturally not be filial, and the previous efforts will be in vain. If she dealt with it very lightly, not to mention whether Shen Xuanlin would resent her, those subordinates would probably think that she was weak and could be bullied, and she would not want to have a word in the Shen family in the future.
Xiao Shi calculated very well, but there was one thing she miscalculated, and now she has no ability to lay it out again. If she is good, when she finishes dealing with those subordinates, she may really let her succeed in guiding the rumors. But now that she is too busy to take care of herself, how many of those people are really holding her?
Shen Ninghua's order came out, and all the people in the Shen Mansion were active, and when they learned that the matter was spread from Shen Xuanlin's Ye Cui Ju, they immediately didn't know how many people were angry. They knew the behavior of those minions, but they didn't expect to be caught by the master, and at this time they were afraid that they would be affected. However, they didn't dare to delay too long, and ran towards the garden pond one after another.
Cushions were placed in the pavilion by the pond, Shen Ninghua was sitting on it drinking tea, and Bai Wei and the other four were standing behind Shen Ninghua, their eyes full of seriousness. After everyone came, they didn't dare to make the slightest noise, and they all stood in place with bated breath.
Shen Ninghua drank half a cup of tea before turning his head to look at the people standing neatly at the bottom of the steps.
"I've seen the eldest lady." They all knelt on their knees and saluted.
Shen Ninghua didn't shout, looked around and turned his head to ask Bai Wei: "Are all the people here?" ”
"Miss Hui, the people around the eldest lady and the second lady haven't come yet."
"The people around my mother didn't come?" Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, thought for a long time and spoke, "Then wait." ”
Shen Ninghua picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea, but the people below were dissatisfied. They're all on their knees! Many of these people are decent minions around their own sons, and they haven't encountered anything that they have been waiting on their knees for a long time, and now they have been wiped by Shen Ninghua, how can they accept it?
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Ninghua frowned and put down the teacup in his hand: "Hongling, go and ask, the people in my father's yard have arrived, why are my mother and second sister so procrastinating?" ”
"Yes, miss."
Shen Ninghua got up and walked to the front of the steps, looked at many people on the ground who couldn't support their pale faces, and said, "I know that many of you are very decent, and even more respected than my master. ”
Someone couldn't help but be angry: "The master is the master, and we don't dare to be compared with the eldest lady as slaves." ”
Shen Ninghua turned his head: "You are the maid in the courtyard of the third sister, it looks familiar." It was the big girl next to Shen Yulan who spoke.
The maid raised her face, her eyes full of disberence.
Shen Ninghua walked up to her and looked at her condescendingly: "Since you know that you can't be compared with me, you shouldn't refute it." ”
"Miss, this is not even a word for the slave maid to say, so what way do we slaves and maids have to live."
Shen Ninghua sneered, plucked the hairpin from the top and threw it into the pond casually: "Qingque, let her go down to help me find the hairpin, if I can't find the hairpin, you really have no way to live." ”
"Yes, miss." The blue finch immediately stepped forward, picked up the maid with a blank face, and threw it at the edge of the pond.
The maid's eyes widened in horror, she didn't expect Shen Ninghua to do this: "Ah, help, woo woo......"
Everyone was stunned by Shen Ninghua's actions, they didn't expect Shen Ninghua to have such courage, the original anger and contempt in their hearts slowly dissipated, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly. These minions are like this, when the master is weak, they are arrogant, and if the master is tough, they immediately begin to care about their lives.
Shen Ninghua turned his head to look at the maid who was struggling in the water, his eyes were full of indifference: "Since the mother and the servants in the second sister's yard can't come over, then we won't wait, Qingque, and throw those people in Xuanlin's yard down to wake up the bar." ”
"Yes, miss." The blue finch moved extremely fast, and those minions who drank alcohol were directly kicked into the lake before they could resist.
Shen Xuanlin stood close to Shen Ninghua, his face tightened.
Shen Ninghua lowered his head and asked him, "Xuanlin, are you afraid?" ”
Shen Xuanlin shook his head: "Don't be afraid." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled: "This is what it looks like, you are the master, those people are all slaves, if you are comfortable serving, don't be stingy with some decency to them." Those who don't serve well and give the master's face a look, they are directly beaten to death with a stick, and they all sign a deed of sale. ”
"Sister, I remember." Shen Xuanlin's eyes were bright, and his dark eyes stared coldly at the minions in the lake, with a bit of eager light.
Shen Ninghua nodded: "Okay, since you understand, then I will spare these minions for their lives, and what to do with them is up to you." ”
"Okay, thank you, big sister."
"Your family doesn't have to say thank you." Shen Ninghua smiled at him, and turned his head to look at the kneeling subordinates on the ground again, but his face sank, "Xuanlin wants to personally dispose of those minions, and you send a few people down to scoop them up." ”
The minions kneeling in the middle looked at each other, got up despite the pain in their knees, and jumped into the pond to catch people.
Those people drank a lot of wine, but when they woke up in the water, their whole body was weak, and they finally ran into someone to save them, and immediately tightly entangled them to the dead and alive to prevent people from moving. It took almost a quarter of an hour to drag everyone ashore.
A few minions who went into the water to catch people were tired and lay on the ground panting, and it took a while to recover.
Shen Ninghua swept around the crowd with different faces, and said: "Qingque, go get the silver, just a few jumped into the water to save people, each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, take the silver and go back to rest." ”
A hundred taels?
"The slave thanked the eldest lady."
Many people regret it in their hearts, why didn't they go into the water to save people obediently just now? If they also jump into the water, they can now take the money and rest. A hundred taels of silver, but they have to save up for years.
The slave who went into the water to save people left happily, and he was no longer dissatisfied with Shen Ninghua in his heart, but mocked the slave next to Shen Xuanlin in his heart, the slave should have the appearance of a slave, why did he lose his identity and make the eldest lady unhappy, I don't know what to say!
Hongling walked over: "Miss, the descendants of Chunhuayuan and Qinxueju are here." ”
Shen Ninghua looked at Mama Qin, who was the leader: "Mama Qin came late, and the people in my father's yard have been waiting for a long time." ”
Walking over to see the scene here for the first time, Mama Qin's heart jumped suddenly, and she found that among the people kneeling on the ground there were actually minions in Shen Dong's courtyard, and her bad premonition was even more serious, and now when she heard Shen Ninghua say this, she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss, the slave maid and others are late, and please punish the eldest lady." ”
Shen Ninghua didn't care about her blunt attitude, and didn't make much trouble when she heard her admit her mistakes: "Get up, it's good to come." It just so happens that the matter has been dealt with, I hope everyone will take this as a warning, I don't want to deal with the minions in front of so many people, so let's disperse. ”
Mama Qin raised her head suddenly: "Miss, the slave and the others are uneasy, please ......"
Bai Wei interrupted her: "Mama Qin, you have already admitted your mistake just now, and Miss didn't pursue anything, you just have to thank the master, not to mention anything else, you serve Mrs. hard, naturally you can't compare with others." ”
Mama Qin choked in her heart, if Shen Ninghua embarrassed them like just now, then it would be easy to say, but after Shen Ninghua punished everyone, he just bypassed himself, then he was afraid that these people would have enough hatred.
Shen Ninghua didn't reply, and directly took Qingque and the others back to Yingyue Residence.
As soon as she changed her clothes, Hongling rushed in: "Miss, just now there was news from the little master of Yecuiju that those minions were beaten to death with sticks. ”
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes: "Xuan Lin's order?" ”
"Yes."
"yes, got it." Shen Xuanlin, really a wolf cub.
