128 One by one
The dishonest mothers-in-law below rolled their eyes, and someone laughed and said, "Miss Sixth is thinking too much, how dare we have a grudge against you." pinched a kneeling little maid, "It's all these little hooves chewing the root of their tongues, and the shadowless things are also blindly arranged, you just think they fart." ”
Lonely Crane shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb, and such ugly foul language dares to enter the ears of Miss Six." ”
The man quickly shut up, craned his neck and nodded and smiled at the lonely bird.
Rong Zhao disdainfully took the account and threw it on the ground, "Don't think that arranging a few sentences in private is a trivial matter, this rumor is like the wind, blowing faster than anything else." There are two choreographers for me today, and there will be four choreographers for me tomorrow, and it won't be long before everyone points at my back and scolds me, but I can't be a fart. ”
There was silence below, only Rong Zhao spoke, "I still have to figure it out today, and let you know who is ignoring your money and who made me carry the pot." ”
"I have issued the monthly salaries of you maids and ladies according to the details on the account, and everyone has recorded every sum clearly. Zhou Yue's family, let me ask you, did I ever give you less than a penny?" Rong Zhao looked at the servant woman standing in the middle, the best dressed and the most neatly dressed, and asked.
Zhou Yue's family had a ghost in his heart, and glanced at Rong Zhao, "Naturally, it is not less than a point, Miss is precious, how can you take a fancy to our children, that idea of monthly money is the sesame seeds on the baked cake in your eyes, and it is very small." ”
"Okay, pick up the ledger and read it to me one by one in front of so many people. Rong Zhao picked up the tea, took a sip, and raised his voice outside: "If anyone who sends out the silver is different from what Zhou Yue's family reads, stand up and squeak to see if it is less of you, or if I really deduct it." ”
In this way, Zhou Yuejia began to read it in public, read one, and Rong Zhao asked one.
There are many people who are not satisfied with the monthly silver deduction, and there is one who has the audacity to say that it is less, and there are two or two or three, and almost the little girls have a lot of monthly money.
In their opinion, regardless of whether the missing moon silver has passed through the hands of Miss Six, they can use her to rectify the things above today.
In this way, after a delay of several hours, several ladies and ladies sent people to ask why they had not returned to work everywhere.
"If you are greedy for some silver and take a small change, I should only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, but your heart is too greedy, and half of it is greedy. One person is greedy for a few taels, so many people, you don't make less money, and it's more than my monthly money in a month. Rong Zhao's sharp gaze swept like a sword, and shot at a few housekeepers, "With so much money, you are not afraid of being remembered by thieves when you sleep at night!"
A few stewards were frightened and honestly afraid, in fact, they would have deducted a little bit before, but they also took one or two percent, like this time, half of which was also in accordance with orders.
Now that I see Miss Six pursuing it, I am naturally panicked. Running out of ideas, they all looked at Zhou Yue's family.
Seeing this, Xu said, "What are you all looking at what Zhou Yue's family is doing? Could it be that Yueyin is greedy for her?"
Zhou Yuejia grabbed his sleeves and glared at a few people. Several people turned their gazes and lowered them to the ground, all speechless.
Rong Zhao said coldly: "You are the old people in the mansion, and you all feel that you have the face of two or three lifetimes, and I feel that I have to keep it for you no matter what." But I earned my own face, and who did I blame for my own loss? I can't keep it for you. Since you've done shameless things, don't blame me for ignoring them. ”
"According to the rules of the house, if someone withholds the monthly salary, what should be done?" Rong Zhao asked Xu.
Xu replied: "If you give back the original amount of money you have embezzled, you can be light, beat you and then drive out of the house, if not, you can send it to the government for investigation." ”
Rong Zhao said: "I don't think they will say anything, just send it to the government, there should be someone in the prison of Dali Temple to entertain them." ”
This time, everyone was afraid, and they knelt down and kowtowed, "Ask Miss Sixth for mercy, it was Zhou Yue's family who asked us to do this." She said that she just had to deduct it, anyway, the little maids would think that Miss Six was greedy. ”
"Oh, did you let me do it, and you still have the idea of letting me carry the black pot?" Rong Zhao suddenly asked Zhou Yue's family, chuckling.
This laughter was infiltrating, which frightened Zhou Yue's legs and stomach, and he didn't dare to deceive anymore, and confessed: "The slave is obeying Mama Fang's words." ”
"Mama Fang?" Rong Zhao pretended not to believe it, put down his cold face, and reprimanded angrily: "Hun said, Mama Fang is the person next to her mother, and my mother has always loved me, how could she harm me? Pull it down and hit twenty boards, and see if she still mixes up!"
Zhou Yue's family was fighting in the courtyard, but Rong Zhao didn't let people shut their mouths, and the courtyards near the howl shook to the ground.
After the twenty boards were played, Zhou Yue's family was dragged back to the house. Rong Zhao asked again, "Do you want to tell the truth?"
Zhou Yue's family was lying on the ground, arching for a long time before kneeling up, crying: "The slave doesn't dare to lie, don't dare to lie, it is indeed Mama Fang's instructions." He took out a bracelet from his bosom and raised his hands high, "This is what Mama Fang gave to the slave." ”
Rong Zhao asked people to take the bracelet up to take a look, looked at it for a moment, and said, "It's really Mama Fang." As if he was a little hesitant, "Then let people invite Mama Fang." He also threatened Zhou Yue's family, "If you lie, be careful about the skin on your body." ”
Taking advantage of the efforts of asking people to invite Mama Fang, Rong Zhao sent the big maids who were close to the masters everywhere to go back and serve first, and then give them an explanation, and then make up for the monthly stipends they were deducted.
After noon, the stomach was empty, Rong Zhao asked people to prepare a meal again, a few maids supported by the side, and waited outside when Mama Fang came. said that he would wait for Miss Six and Grandma Er's grandmother to finish their meal, and then let her go in and talk back.
Mama Fang's face is that Steward Cao will give a few points, but being trampled on by Rong Zhao like this is really unbearable.
Before the change, she was still waiting under the sun, but because she was taught by Rong Zhao last time, she was scared of her, and then this time is different from the past, now Rong Zhao is in charge, the eldest lady was seized of power, and she was disgusted and fell out of favor by the Hou Ye, and her status in the Hou Mansion also plummeted, and she no longer had the power of the fox and tiger in the past, so she could only endure it in every way.
Rong Zhao ate this meal very slowly, deliberately dried her, and waited until the time was almost up before withdrawing the banquet.
Then Mama Fang entered the house and looked at the embarrassed Zhou Yue's family, and she knew that something was wrong. At first, Rong Zhao asked, but he only pretended not to know, and accused Zhou Yue's family of slandering her. Rong Zhao didn't give face, and she was tortured, but she was not exempt from the crime, so she admitted it.
But she only said that she was not convinced by Rong Zhao, so she was like this, but she did not say anything unfavorable to the Gao family, and was anxious to clear up the relationship.
