Chapter 22: The Servant of the World (II)
If the silence in the room just now was because she was afraid that the bare feet of the Chu Si family were not afraid of wearing shoes, and she really risked her life to make a big fuss, the dead silence now is because she suddenly pierced through the thin layer of shiny surface and exposed the dirtiest side.
Chen Lan had heard from Chen Yan before, and some of the generals who followed the old marquis were now living a miserable life, and he had also thought about finding an opportunity to inquire again, but before he could come to the house, something happened, and now he found it directly in front of him. Listening to those words, she naturally knew that the grievances of the four Chu families were deep. can pick a problem at this time, just the word trouble is enough for those stewards to use the topic to play, and even the Zhu family will inevitably be annoyed.
However, the Chu Sijia seemed to be really open-minded, and they didn't pay any attention to everyone's iron and green ugly faces, and sneered again: "The two sisters-in-law stopped me just now, but I heard the words clearly. The girls can get one hundred and twenty taels of silver to make clothes, but we can't get a penny for the New Year! Back then, it was promised by the old marquis himself, not to let the loyal servants shed blood and tears, but whoever followed him guarded, the four seasons clothes and festivals were rewarded, but now, not all this money has fallen into the pockets of those conscienceless things! My eldest son...... My eldest son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but now he can't even do a chore...... God, are you blind, why do you let us sincere people suffer like this......"
Chu Sijia's voice became higher and higher, and in the end, he was already a little crazy, and he desperately hit the ground with his head, and smashed the green bricks on the ground with his fists. At this moment, there was a sudden shout from above.
"Fork out! Nonsense to arrange the master, don't fork her out quickly! ”
Chen Lan was startled by the voice beside him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Chen Yun had already stood up, sweeping away the kind of well-behaved people who followed Chen Bing on weekdays, or Chu Chu, who was sad and crying in front of him yesterday, and his face was a little hideous. At this time, the housekeepers' daughters-in-law and mothers finally came back to their senses, knowing that they would let the Chu Sijia talk about it again, and maybe something would be revealed, so they hurriedly divided several forwards, some twisted their arms and some hugged their necks, and desperately pulled this stout big woman out. Just as they were about to drag people down, Leng Buding was a cold voice again.
"Wait!"
Chen Xi got up gently, and didn't look at Chen Yun, who had an extremely bad face on the side, but said slowly: "Let's get people out slowly." Although what she said was a bit radical, it must be known that our Hou Mansion does have always had the rules of caring for the generals. The one who died in this war was the first class, and not only was the first prize for clothes every year, but all the children were sent to the office. The injured are second-class, there is a rule for the reward for clothes every year, and the children are also given priority to send errands, how did it become like this today? ”
In the past, although Chen Xi was not hidden in the deep boudoir, she always reserved a seat in the main hall of the Tatexiang Courtyard, but everyone knew her arrogance, so she suddenly stood up at this time. Seeing that the two young ladies above looked at each other-for-tat, and then said a few words, all the daughters-in-law and mothers were a little stupid and didn't know what to do.
Chen Lan had been watching coldly just now, seeing almost everything, thinking about it, she coughed lightly, but she didn't stand up: "Fourth sister, fifth sister, if there is something to sit down and discuss, there is no need to be angry." ”
She nodded at the green calyx, the green calyx with surprise on her face was slightly stunned, and she hurriedly glanced at the mothers and daughters-in-law of the Chu Si family who were twisting it, and several people immediately let go of their hands.
Seeing that the Chu Sijia seemed to have exhausted their strength, sitting on the ground and lowering their heads, Chen Lan said lightly: "The three of us sisters are old ladies who spoke, and they only started to assist in housework today, so naturally some things don't understand. It's just that since the man in your family has followed the old marquis to guard Gansu, that is the old man in the family, is it possible that he doesn't understand the rules at all, and when he comes in, he talks and wraps his gun and clamps the stick, and he also cries and grabs the ground, what is this, to blackmail the master? How did you keep talking back then, did you talk to your master like this back then? ”
Speaking of this, Chen Lan's tone suddenly became stern, and he immediately shouted: "Trespassing into the Water Mirror Hall without notification, and speaking out of taboo and arrogance, dragged out to blame twenty boards!" ”
As soon as they heard this, the mothers and daughters-in-law in the circle around them all showed relieved expressions, and immediately someone came up to fight the Chu family. However, before they had time to drag people out, Chen Lan continued: "The board is to blame you for ignoring the rules and decency, but the reward clothes you said before are the rules of the old year, and there is no clear text to say that they will be dismissed, that is, they should not be in arrears. If there is another half point deducted, you can come directly to me to plead! As for what you said about your kid who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, now the boss is not small but has no errands, and when I return to the old lady to make a theory, no matter what, I can't call you who made meritorious contributions back then, but now they are not as good as others. ”
When the Chu Sijia heard that they were going to be beaten, they were already very hopeless, and they were disheartened and ready to be ridiculed and retaliated against after they went back, but they never expected that there would be such a measure next. Stunned for a moment, she immediately shook off the two people who were holding her arms, took a few steps forward on her knees, and knocked her head three more times with a bang.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!"
"Don't thank me." At this moment, Chen Lan felt that the two people on the left and right beside him were looking at him, but as if he didn't see it, he just lowered his head and covered his hand, and then sighed softly, "If there is a mistake, it should be punished, and if there is merit, it should be rewarded, this is the rule." ”
Seeing that the two mothers-in-law came up like a dream and pulled the Chu Sijia down, Hongluo only felt that the heart of the old man was suddenly put down. At this moment, she suddenly saw Chen Lan look over, nodded to her again, and immediately her heart jumped, and after thinking for a moment, she quietly walked out of the house from the side. Seeing the two mothers-in-law dragging the Chu Si family out, scolding and swearing something, she hurriedly caught up with the first few steps.
Hearing movement behind her, one of the mothers-in-law turned around, and when she saw that it was a red snail, she immediately stopped and said with a flattering smile: "Why did the girl come out?" ”
"Miss is not at ease, let me come out to prison." Seeing that the two mothers-in-law were taken aback, and then they all showed embarrassed expressions, Hongluo glanced at the Chu four families, and said lightly, "Twenty years in Hedong and twenty years in Hexi, no one can guarantee anything, although she has broken the rules today, there is always something pitiful." You do all the heavy work all day long, and you can't do it for the sake of some people who don't deserve to be offended. After all, things in the house are not good now, so you have to accumulate some virtue. ”
The two mothers-in-law suddenly had some expectations, but thinking that Hongluo was not only the girl next to Chen Lan, but also the person in front of the old lady, and now that the second master was in prison, it was really uncertain, so they gradually dispelled their original idea - before they came out, there was a familiar housekeeper and daughter-in-law who gave them a gesture and asked them to teach the Chu family a hard lesson. When the red snail stuffed two silver horns in their hands without a trace, they were even more speechless, but they agreed with a smile on their faces.
Set up two benches in the yard, and went to get the bamboo boards, and when they started, they naturally kept their hands very sparing, and they finished playing twenty boards in a moment. Chu Sijia heard Hongluo's words clearly, she was not a stupid person, she knew that this board was really light, and she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, so when she was helped to stand up, she looked at Hongluo's eyes full of gratitude.
There was such a sudden fuss just now, seeing the two young ladies fighting each other, in the end, Chen Lan suddenly spoke, and quickly solved the matter, and at this time, when he saw the Chu Sijia coming back and kowtowing to thank him, the daughters-in-law and mothers in the house were all holding their breath, where did they dare to say eight more words.
As far as the four Chu families limped away, the next housework was naturally in order, and everyone stepped forward to ask for cards and so on, thinking and thinking, for fear of making mistakes. As for the housekeeper mother who asked for silver to make a spring shirt at the beginning, she didn't know when she slipped away without a trace.
