Chapter 42: Give them a day off
When people's interests are violated, they often make some thoughtless actions, especially minions who have never read any books, they are easily provoked by others, and they want to make trouble without thinking about the consequences.
For example, now, as soon as Chef Qin took the lead in inciting, the houses and courtyards didn't even know what was going on, so they followed him to the main courtyard, and the crowd was excited along the way, shouting loudly the slogan of "striving for reasonable welfare for the subordinates", with a vigorous momentum and a neat team.
Song Liangchen and Cheng Beiwang were about to have breakfast in the main courtyard when they heard the earth-shattering roar outside, and both of them were dazed, sticking out their heads to look.
"Lord Shizi! There are also minions who have been loyal to the Shizifu for several years, and there are also those who have been loyal for more than ten years, and there has never been such a time of dissatisfaction! Chef Qin knelt in front of the main house with a plop, his face flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or suffocated.
"What's going on?" Song Liangchen frowned, he has always been generous to his subordinates, and the subordinates in the mansion are all honest and obedient, how could he suddenly ......
"Master." Yu's family also came, with a small face aggrieved: "What did the princess do, don't you know?" Everyone is not a person who doesn't understand the rules, if it weren't for the princess being too much, it would definitely not be like this. ”
Cheng Beiwang raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Isn't your concubine quite capable?" What's going on again? ”
There were outsiders there, Yu Shi restrained a little, and whispered: "Cheng Dudu is fine, the housework of the Shizi Mansion has made you see the joke." ”
"I don't laugh at you, my aunt is more likely to make trouble." Cheng Beiwang said with a smile: "Today's day of sleeping is wrong, tomorrow there will be something missing, a group of women are making trouble, I am used to it." This is not? ran to the prince's mansion, and didn't want to go back. ”
Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, panicked, and hurriedly looked at Song Liangchen and said: "Master, we don't want to make a fuss, it was you who suddenly let the princess take care of things, and she won't take care of it, so everyone is not satisfied." After all, it is the princess of the world, and it is definitely useless for the concubine to be alone, everyone has opinions, so let's just talk about it together. ”
Song Liangchen pursed his lips, although Yu Mengshuang always doesn't like to speak, but he doesn't have any city government, or is he stupid, what do you say. Look at what she said, doesn't it show that she is dissatisfied with the princess, so she instigates her subordinates to make trouble together?
Sighing, he said, "What did the princess do to make you have such a big reaction?" ”
Yu's willow eyebrows were crossed: "She deliberately drunk her master yesterday, so that the concubine could not sleep." Yesterday's meal was also a mess, so you can ask and know. To be honest, the concubine still has to be in charge of this matter, and not just anyone can manage it well. ”
"Master Yu is right." Chef Qin said: "Let's just talk about the arrangement of this kitchen, Master Wen takes care of everything early in the morning every day, and when he is replaced by the princess, he almost doesn't even eat lunch." No, it's time for breakfast now, you see, there is no courtyard in the house to send breakfast. ”
Isn't this nonsense? Chef Qin is on strike, who will go to deliver breakfast?
Song Liangchen understood, this was because Shen Meijing's sudden assuming of power caused everyone's dissatisfaction. It is true that he did not think about it, after all, Wen Erya has been in charge of the backyard for so many years, and suddenly someone replaced her, which must not make people complain.
After thinking about it, he said, "Since that's the case, it's better to ......."
"Master, breakfast is here." Lin Feng was outside the crowd and suddenly said goodbye.
A group of slaves in the courtyard were waiting for the prince to order the return of power to Master Wen, listening to the voice and looking back, the kitchen girl in the kitchen carried shrimp porridge, passed through the crowd, and came directly to Song Liangchen.
Chef Qin was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at the maid: "Who asked you to bring breakfast?" ”
The kitchen maid said unhurriedly: "The princess has arranged the kitchen, and the breakfast in each room and courtyard has also been delivered, please rest assured." ”
Song Liangchen raised his eyebrows: "The people in the kitchen are all here, how did she arrange it?" Can't do it yourself? ”
The kitchen maid bowed her head: "The princess has hired the cook of Du Kanglou, and the people have already started to prepare lunch in the kitchen." ”
Chef Qin's face changed, and he hurriedly said to the prince: "Master, look, the princess is going to drive the slaves away?" The slave is conscientious in the house, and he doesn't dare to say how hard and tired he is, but every time he eats for the master, he also takes a lot of effort. It's been seven or eight years since the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the princess doesn't like the slaves, so she said that she would change it? ! ”
The people in the courtyard were a little flustered, waiting closely to see the reaction of the prince.
Song Liangchen rubbed his eyebrows: "Go and invite the princess to come over." ”
"Master, the concubine is here." Meijing stood at the outermost of the crowd and smiled in response.
Everyone was shocked, and Chef Qin's heart also jumped.
When did she come?
Cheng Beiwang leaned to the side to watch the excitement, and saw the woman calmly walking through the crowd, and walked to Song Liangchen to salute: "Concubine to the lord to say goodbye." ”
"No courtesy." Song Liangchen stared at her: "Should I praise you?" It's been a long time since there has been such a big movement in the Shizi's Mansion, and it's the first time that everyone has gathered together like this. ”
Shen Meijing stood up straight and said with a smile: "It's the fault of the concubine, I didn't have a good understanding of what the princess should do, so everyone was dissatisfied." ”
"And what are you going to do?" Looking at her with his arms crossed, Song Liangchen inexplicably felt a little gloating.
She always seemed to be omnipotent, and he was a little displeased to look at her. His daughter's family, a little weaker, needs to rely on a little, so he feels like a normal woman. But Shen Meijing has never needed him, and her smiling face has not changed for a hundred years.
He suddenly wanted to see her panicked.
However, this time it was destined to be disappointed, because someone had informed her in advance, so Meijing was already fully prepared.
"Everyone feels tired of doing things and is unwilling to do it, the concubine thinks that the prince can give them a holiday." Meijing said: "The concubine over there has already hired two chefs, three helpers, and two maids. On the side of the main courtyard, the mother-in-law who sells maids is already waiting at the gate of the house, and it is good to wait for the concubine to pick a few obedient and sensible people. ”
The subordinates in the courtyard were angry, and they didn't dare to reprimand loudly, but they dared to talk in a whisper, and everyone spoke in a whisper, but mixed up was a flood of accusations.
are all old slaves of the Shizi Mansion, you say you can change it?
"I'm afraid that's not right." Song Liangchen said: "These people have been in the Shizi Mansion for a long time. ”
"The concubine knows, so it's just a holiday." Meijing said with a smile: "When they don't want to do things, the concubine arranges someone else to do it." When they wanted to come back, the concubine still allowed them to come back. ”
