Chapter 10 Chapter 4 Life is like a mustard
Guanyin listened to Qiu Xuan's narration and asked,
"Apart from Chun Tao, who else is the servant girl who messes around with Shiro-kun?"
Qiu Mian said the names of the other three maidservants.
Guanyin wrote them down one by one, and then explained to Qiu Xuan,
"You go back to the backyard now, and still lead the other slaves and maids to help handle the funeral affairs of Mrs. Chen."
Qiu Jian stood up after kowtowing to Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, and then exited the living room.
------
Next, Guanyin called several other slaves and maids over to ask them one by one.
What several people said is basically the same as what Qiu Qian said.
It's just that someone else has added, about Qiu Qian.
This Qiu Qian is capable and capable, and he is deeply liked by Chen Shanyi.
Chen Shanyi had intended to wait for Li Yuanji to grow up and ask Qiu Jian to make him a room.
Chun Tao saw that Chen Shanyi liked Qiu Qian, and she was already jealous in her heart.
But due to Chen Shanyi's status in the hospital, Chun Tao didn't dare to say anything.
Now seeing that Chen Shanyi's status in Li Yuanji's heart has been shaken, Chun Tao intends to take the opportunity to take revenge on Chen Shanyi and Qiu Jin.
Chun Tao did unbearable things with Li Yuanji in front of Qiu Jin, one was to demonstrate to Qiu Jin, and the other was to humiliate Qiu Jin.
-----
When Guanyin asked the slaves and maids in the courtyard, she had already figured out the situation clearly.
At this time, it was unitary time, and it was already dark.
Zheng Guanyin may have been frightened, and his spirit did not look very good, as if he was a little sleepy.
Guanyin asked her with concern, "After a busy day, is my sister-in-law a little tired?"
Zheng Guanyin forced a smile and replied:
"I don't know what happened these days, I always feel a little sleepy and can't lift my spirits."
Guanyin smiled and said, "I've been busy since the morning, and I'm definitely tired."
"I wonder if Uncle has already returned home? Now it's getting late, and I'm not going to see my uncle anymore."
"Just ask my sister-in-law to go back and tell my uncle in detail what happened in the fourth uncle's courtyard. See what he does?"
When Zheng Guanyin heard this, he immediately said urgently:
"It's not okay, I can't tell, or my sister will say it."
"So far, I can't even remember the names of those handmaidens, how do you want me to say it?"
Guanyin was helpless, so she had to agree to go with Zheng Guanyin to see Li Jiancheng.
Seeing that Guanyin agreed to go over together, Zheng Guanyin smiled with relief.
------
Before going to the West Courtyard, Guanyin asked Fengshu to call Qin Lan and play chess.
She told Qin Lan to be optimistic about everyone in the courtyard, let the chess guard the courtyard gate, and don't let anyone enter or leave.
After the explanation, Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin took Fengshu, Ji Xue and Qinghong out of Li Yuanji's courtyard.
A few people walked south along Yong Road, bypassing the south wall of Li Yuanji's courtyard to the west, passing through the Moon Gate connecting the east and west inner courtyards, and came to the west compound.
When I arrived in the front hall of the inner courtyard on the west side, there were already lamps and candles in the hall.
At the door of the front hall, the two entourages of Lu Zheng and Li Jiancheng stood there.
------
Guanyin stepped forward and asked Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng returned to Guanyin, Li Jiancheng had already returned home, and was talking to Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji in the front hall.
Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin arranged for three maidservants to wait at the door, and the two entered the front hall together.
Li Xuanba saw the two sisters-in-law come in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted the two.
Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin returned the salute.
Li Yuanji saw that the three of them saluted each other, and also stood up, but stood stunned and did not move.
Guanyin and Li Xuanba saw each other, and walked forward again, bowed to Li Jiancheng with crossed hands and knees, and greeted Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng smiled and nodded, and asked a few people to sit down.
Zheng Guanyin walked to the middle of the front hall and sat down next to the table between Xishou and Li Jiancheng.
Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji sat on the low couch on the east side, and Guanyin sat on the west side.
------
After a few people sat down, Li Jiancheng turned his face to look at Zheng Guanyin and asked, "Have you already asked everything clearly?"
Zheng Guanyin looked at Guanyin and said to Li Jiancheng:
"Before and after the matter, the eldest grandson knows best, so let her say it."
Guanyin saw that Li Yuanji was present, and it was inconvenient to say some things.
She glanced at Li Yuanji, who was sitting with her head down, turned her face and looked at Li Jiancheng with a smile, and then pushed,
"The affairs of the inner courtyard are dominated by the sister-in-law, and it is better for the sister-in-law to do it."
------
Zheng Guanyin wondered in her heart, didn't she just say that Guanyin would talk about it, why did she temporarily change her hexagram again?
She looked at Guanyin a little puzzled, but Guanyin looked at her and smiled.
Li Jiancheng saw the doorway.
He said to Li Yuanji with a serious face,
"Fourth brother, you've been making trouble all day today, and I'm tired of thinking about it."
"It's not convenient for you to go back to the courtyard now, so let's rest in the study outside the west courtyard tonight."
Li Yuanji didn't speak, nodding in agreement.
Li Jiancheng called the entourage outside the door and asked them to take Li Yuanji to the study in the outer courtyard to rest, and repeatedly explained that they should take care of Li Yuanji, which was actually hinting that he must be optimistic.
------
After Li Yuanji left, Li Jiancheng smiled and said to Guanyin,
"Eldest grandson, now that the fourth brother has left, can you tell me more about the situation in his courtyard now?"
Zheng Guanyin didn't understand until this time that Guanyin didn't say anything just now because Li Yuanji was there.
At this time, Guanyin had no scruples, so she explained in detail what she had just learned in Li Yuanji's courtyard.
Li Jiancheng listened carefully, frowning from time to time, and seemed to be a little angry.
After Guanyin finished speaking, Li Jiancheng turned to Zheng Guanyin again,
"Lady and eldest grandson, have you discussed what to do?"
Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng, who looked physically and mentally exhausted, and said in a low voice:
"The concubine was a little frightened at the time, and she is still a little uncertain, this matter is a matter of human life, it is better to be handled by Lang Jun."
------
Li Jiancheng turned his gaze to Guanyin again,
"Eldest grandson, what do you think?"
Guanyin had already considered it, and she gave Li Jiancheng advice,
"The concubine thinks that for Chen Shanyi's aftermath, she said to the outside world that she died of a sudden illness."
"Because outsiders know her relationship with the fourth uncle, they should buy a good coffin and bury her with dignity."
"Let's ask her if she has any relatives, and if so, pay her family some money."
After talking about the handling of the aftermath, Guanyin stressed to Li Jiancheng that she should keep it a secret.
"If this matter spreads, although it is impossible for the government to inquire about the affairs of the Tang State Mansion, it will not be good for the reputation of the fourth uncle and our mansion."
"Whoever knows of this matter must be warned one by one, and shall state the benefits and harms, and shall not spread it out."
"Let these people know in their hearts that anyone who knowingly commits a crime will be punished severely."
"As for how to deal with a few servant girls and the fourth uncle who instigated the fourth uncle to mess around, it is still up to the uncle to decide."
------
Li Jiancheng saw that Guanyin's words were clear, thoughtful, and dealt with in a proper manner, and he couldn't help but feel that his mother had found a good wife for his second brother.
Looking at his wife Zheng Guanyin, although she is gentle and charming, she lacks the courage to be the director of the house.
But on second thought, there is nothing to regret, nothing can be perfect.
It is not without benefits to have a wife like Zheng Guanyin, at least he will not be like his father, and he will be controlled by his mother in everything he does.
------
Li Jiancheng listened to Guanyin's thoughts, weighed the pros and cons, and put forward his own disposal opinions.
According to the law of the Sui Dynasty: the master accidentally killed the house slave, and the rod was 100. Execution of a domestic slave without cause and imprisonment for one year.
In fact, it is a true sin for a master to cause the death of a domestic slave, but it is not a felony. For wealthy families, the death of a house slave is similar to a dead head of livestock, and even if they are guilty, they can be settled with money.
It's just that if the master treats the house slave too harshly, he will bear the reputation of the evil master.
Li Jiancheng agreed with Chen Shanyi's handling of the aftermath and keeping secrets.
For the four maidservants who instigated Li Yuanji to mess around, he advocated severe punishment.
The reason is that Li Yuanji is still young, and these handmaidens actually charm the young master, which is really bad, and they should be executed to serve as a police officer.
Li Yuanji must be strictly guarded, and this time he will be given ten strokes of the cane and be reprimanded.
After thinking about the wall in the study room of the outer courtyard for three days, he was not allowed to go out.
In the future, he will personally report to Li Jiancheng every day on his performance for a day, and if he makes another mistake, he will be severely punished.
According to Li Jiancheng's handling method, although Li Yuanji was also punished, it was tantamount to exposing the matter lightly.
------
After listening to Li Jiancheng's handling results, it was inconvenient for Guanyin, Zheng Guanyin, and Li Xuanba to express different opinions.
All three agreed.
Li Jiancheng saw that the three of them had no different opinions, so he asked Lu Zheng, who was waiting outside the door, to call Wen Tingfang, the head of the manor.
He explained the handling of the matter to Wen Tingfang one by one.
Wen Tingfang was able to become the head of the Hedong Manor of the Tang State Mansion, and his mind was clever, which was not comparable to ordinary people.
He knew Li Jiancheng's arrangement.
Wen Tingfang promised Li Jiancheng that there would be no mistakes and that he would handle it completely according to his requirements.
------
After everything was disposed of, Guanyin said goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law, and returned to her own courtyard in the East Courtyard with the book.
Walking on the road, Guanyin has been silent.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Li Yuanji was messing around, and five people died in one day.
I tried my best to find out what happened, but I didn't expect to end the lives of four young maids.
She also couldn't say whether today's matter should be investigated or not.
She asked herself in her heart, whether the lives of the four young maidservants were important, or the dignity of the Tang State Mansion was important.
She lamented that countless people in this world are like a mustard, and this world is the way of the powerful and rich.
She was glad that she was born into a family of people.
But she has personal experience that the lives of too many wealthy and powerful people are at stake.
In the eyes of the emperor, all the subjects of the world are like mustard.
In the eyes of the master of the family family, all the house slaves are like a mustard.
Guanyin couldn't figure out what kind of world this was.
------
Since the accident in Li Yuanji's courtyard, peace has returned to the inner courtyard.
Guanyin returned to the ordinary life of reading and practicing calligraphy.
Ding Niangzi, who lives in the back cover room, will go to the main room from time to time to chat with Guanyin.
She thought that Guanyin was married, and she was no longer as shy about men and women as before.
She was afraid that Guanyin was young and ignorant and did not know how to deal with the affairs of husband and wife.
Intentionally or unintentionally, I will talk about the topic of having children.
------
After dealing with Li Yuanji's matter, the relationship between Zheng Guanyin and Guanyin became deeper.
She saw that Guanyin was not easy to move, so she took the time to come over and talk some gossip.
Zheng Guanyin is very devout to burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and is most interested in the topic of expounding Buddhist scriptures.
On this day, Zheng Guanyin came over to chat again, and it happened that Ding Niangzi was also there.
As she spoke, she turned the topic back to the Buddhist scriptures.
Guanyin and Ding Niangzi are not very proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but they also know some of them.
The two chatted with Zheng Guanyin without saying a word.
------
While chatting, Zheng Guanyin felt uncomfortable, his chest churned, and he felt like vomiting.
Ding Niangzi hurriedly asked Fengshu to bring a spittoon.
Zheng Guanyin retched according to the spittoon, and did not feel like stopping until he was about to spit out the yellow water in his abdomen.
Ding Niangzi asked Zhiqi to bring water to rinse her mouth, and asked Zheng Guanyin with a smile,
"Mrs. Zheng, do you remember the last time you came to the menstrual event?"
Zheng Guanyin blushed and replied embarrassedly,
"It's been more than a month."
