"The slave knows her mistake, please punish the girl!"

The corners of the eyes of the two girls who were scolded by Nuan Xiang were full of tears, their expressions were very frightened, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly.

"To be a slave and a maid is to have the appearance of a slave and a maid, and dare to look directly at the majesty of the master, without respect! It seems that you are too lazy in your daily life. ”

"Yes, the slave knows her mistake, please punish the girl."

"In the past, you were not by your master's side, and you were negligent in disciplining, from now on, I will teach you some rules on behalf of Miss. Once there are other people who hurt the safety of the master, they will be determined according to the family law, and they will not be spared! You two, you understand! ”

"Yes, the slave is willing to accept the punishment and beg the girl to be light."

The two girls were only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and now they were beaten severely by Nuan Xiang and kowtowed to the ground in fear, and the fingers exposed outside the sleeves were white, and they looked frightened.

They are just lowly women, and according to the law they are about the same status as animals, and once they sell themselves into slavery, they make a mistake! The master can sell and punish at will, even if it is the most normal thing to be executed by the master's family, of course, the two girls are scared in their hearts!

"Each man goes down and receives five battles!"

"Yes, girl!"

Yun Niang looked at Nuan Xiang who looked smiling on weekdays, and her temperament was more active than Nuan Fei, who knew that her face was so scary! The little eyes were glaring, but it made people's hands and feet weak, just look at the frightened faces of the two girls!

Since Nuan Xiang is helping her establish majesty and rules, how can she say more! She knew that she was doing it all to suppress the restless people below!

As soon as this incident came out, but in a moment, the matter of the subordinates who didn't understand the rules in Yun Niang's yard spread out, which made many people who didn't care about it at first cheer up, and the original lazy atmosphere became cautious!

Yun Niang sat on the main hall and waited for the housekeeper to go down and summon the people of the house to come and order, and it was not until the time when she drank a cup of tea that she watched Steward Du come in to report.

"Miss, all the people in the house are ready, please give instructions from Miss."

"Well, I'm tired of the housekeeper! Let them in! ”

"Yes, Miss!"

Steward Du walked down respectfully, and ordered the house slaves outside the door to enter the door and wait for the order, but within a few breaths, the entire main hall was crowded with people.

"I've seen the master! I've seen the second master, I've seen the young lady! ”

As soon as the subordinates in the house entered the main hall, they saluted one after another, their movements were standardized, their eyes were focused, and their chins were slightly closed, showing a well-behaved look!

"What position you are, report your names one by one, so that I can understand who you are!"

Yun Niang looked at the group of people in front of her, her brows were lightly furrowed, according to the visual inspection, there were about 100 people!

This huge Shangshu Mansion was only a master before, even if it was luxurious, there was no need for so many people to serve, not to mention the monthly money of these people, even if it was food and clothing, it was a big expense, even if the family was a mountain of gold and silver, it should not be so wasted!

And what she is most afraid of is that the subordinates in this house are all relatives and old people, filling their own pockets and covering each other, if they want to do anything, it is impossible to prevent it!

"His subordinate Du Yanshan is the big housekeeper of the house, and all the trivial matters in the house are in charge of his subordinates, and his subordinates have seen the lord and the young lady."

Steward Du looked at Yun Niang and wanted to find out the connections and positions in the house, and walked out at the moment and said respectfully.

Yun Niang nodded at Steward Du, and saw Steward Du retreat.

The people below glanced at each other, and some people stood up and said one by one.

"Slave Chunlan is the big maid of Luohua Garden, and the slave maid has seen the master and the young lady."

The first one to stand up was a big girl in a green gauze skirt, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance was very standard, her skin was white and beautiful, and she looked very talented! The movements are neat, and she looks like a smart and neat girl.

"The slave maid Xia Solstice, is the maid of Luohua Garden, I have seen the master, I have seen the young lady!"

"The slave maid Qiuhan, she is the maid of Luohua Garden, I have seen the master, I have seen the young lady!"

"Slave Dongyue, she is the maid of Luohua Garden, I have seen the master, I have seen the young lady!"

The four girls standing in front are named after spring, summer, autumn and winter, and even the clothes are very suitable for the occasion, the tender green of spring, the red of summer, the goose yellow of autumn, the white of winter, and they are about the same age, and their appearance and figure are even more impeccable, what makes Yun Niang care most is not these! It's because this spring, summer, autumn and winter are all girls in Yun Xiu's yard, even if the people behind her introduce them one by one, Yun Niang has no expression, but her eyes look at spring, summer, autumn and winter from time to time.

According to what she knew about Yun Xiu, he was by no means the kind of superficial person, there was no one else in a courtyard except for these four women! That's why Yun Niang is curious.

After the following people were introduced one by one, Yun Niang stood up and said the rules of the house, which was no different from the words of Nuan Xiang in the afternoon, but it was more detailed, and after the rules were established, Yun Niang asked Nuan Fei to reward the people below, and let them leave, but she kept their appearance and position in mind, thinking that those unnecessary people in the house should also be reduced!

However, this matter still has to be gradual, and if so many people are laid off at once, it will make the people in the house panic.

"Butler, do you know when Yun Xiu will return to the mansion?"

Yun Niang has been in the house for almost a day, and she saw that the sky was dark, but she still didn't see Yun Xiu's return to the mansion, and she had already missed it in her heart, so she couldn't help but ask again!

"Miss, today is the day when the Holy Lord recalls the frontier soldiers to reward meritorious deeds, I am afraid that there will be a celebration banquet in the palace, and adults are in important positions! I'm afraid it's going to be later, so do you arrange dinner first? ”

"Yes, how did I forget this, you go down to arrange it first, eat in the living room, since Yun Xiu is participating in the palace banquet, then he will definitely drink! You let the kitchen cook the decanting soup, and give it to Yun Xiu later. ”

"My subordinates will arrange it!"

Yun Niang is also a family that has never been a big family, and since she entered the mansion today, she has been thinking about how to manage this huge Shangshu Mansion, which has a large number of people and a complicated relationship! made her dizzy, so she had to grope according to what she thought in her heart!

And she thought that the housekeeper was to manage this compound, but who knew that in addition to the things in the courtyard, there were also some things in the Zhuangzi, and the acres of land rewarded by the Zhuangzi reached 12 hectares, that is, more than 1,000 acres of land, in which almost tens of thousands of loads of grain were produced every year, and there were some shops! These things were all rewarded by the Heavenly Family, and Yun Niang didn't know about them, so she didn't know about them!

She took a look, there are a few cloth workshops and rouge gouache shops with relatively high profits, but the money is spent on the daily expenses of Shangshu Mansion, and there is not much surplus in a year, although there is a lot of food, selling it in the shop, it can't make much money in a month! And Yun Xiu's money is only forty taels of silver a month, plus the people's contacts between the court and the central government, Yun Xiu's little silver is not enough to stuff his teeth! Yun Niang also knew at this moment why the people who were officials were greedy.
