Chapter 35: Disposition
Xie Songhua raised his eyes, glanced at Xie Yuncang, and still lowered his eyes, "Hmm." ”
Everyone found that the expression on Xie Yuncang's face became strange again, he looked at Xie Songhua fixedly, and then turned to the old lady next to him, and after the two supreme people of the Xie family looked at each other, they completed a silent exchange.
Xie Yuncang turned his face again, and his tone was different from Fang Cai's seriousness, and even had a rare gentleness, "Four girls, all of them here are your blood relatives, and the Xie family is also your family, in your own home, you don't need to be so careful, the girl next to you today is talking to you, it is for my father's eyes."
You lived in Mengpo before, and I saw that you were quite lively, why are you so submissive now, but someone rules over you? ”
Before Xie Songhua could speak, Qi Shi opened his mouth, "Master, let me deal with such a trivial matter!" It's my fault that these maids didn't work well. ”
Qi's face is not ugly, a big family like them pays attention to etiquette and rules, and the affairs of the inner house belong to the jurisdiction of the hostess, this is the rule!
It's just a matter of Mother Sun, in the end it involves Aunt Zhang, and it involves human life.
Brother An'er hugged to Shou'an Hall, which can be said to be for the sake of the son's interest.
Now that a maid has been dropped, if Xie Yuncang is also acting on her behalf, where will she find her prestige in the inner house in the future? !
Xie Songhua hurriedly said: "Father and mother, don't misunderstand, the maids in my yard are very good, Sister Lilac just speaks a little ugly, she is very peaceful on weekdays, and she never causes trouble for me."
Sister Bai Shao is too disciplined, she doesn't tell me to eat too much, because she is afraid that I will grow too fat, not to let me sleep too much, and also because she is afraid that someone will say that I am lazy, not that I am too brightly dressed, for fear of looking like I am a nouveau riche, and because I am not called ......"
When they heard her words at the beginning, several maids were relieved, in the end, the four girls were timid, and they didn't dare to sue in front of so many people.
Who knew that when I heard it, it slowly didn't taste right, and Bai Shao's face slowly turned white.
Xie Songhua keeps talking about the rules, but what people's rules are so cumbersome, almost eating, drinking, and sleeping are all managed.
Before Xie Yuncang could speak, the old lady snorted coldly, "My wife has always asked the girls in the house to pay attention to the rules and not to lose the dignity of the girl's family, but I don't know that the rules in my house are already so strict." ”
Bai Shao suddenly fell to his knees in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to defend himself, so he only begged for mercy.
Xie Songhua was still at a loss, "Sister Bai Shao is not right?" ”
Xie Yuncang didn't look at her, but turned to the Qi clan who was sitting below, "You deal with it." ”
The embarrassment on Qi's face was almost unbearable, which immediately put the quality of the maids in Yanchuntai on the surface.
Fortunately, Xie Yuncang still remembered to hand over the matter to her in the end, so that he would not lose face in front of so many people.
The fate of the Qi family is also very simple, the white peony is unusable, and it is directly hit with 20 boards and thrown to Zhuangzi, and the future is over.
The cloves naturally had to be disposed of, but seeing that they were about to fall, Xie Songhua seemed to be suddenly sober and hurriedly pleaded.
She spoke earnestly, as if she was sincere in defending the lilac.
The maids in Yanchuntai obviously have problems, but if they all fall off, everyone's faces will not look good.
Qi only fined her for one year's monthly money, and reduced her monthly silver by one level as a punishment.
As for the other two second-class maids, they also received some punishments, but with Bai Shao in front, the others were naturally too late to be grateful, where did they dare to complain.
After this matter was over, the old lady let everyone disperse, but Xie Songhua was left behind.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but be curious, and seeing that a few young girls couldn't help but look back, Xie Changqing coughed heavily, turned around and asked the scholar in front of him, "What time is it?" ”
One sentence frightened the young masters and girls who still had to go to school and immediately ran away in a hurry.
Xie Shuhua has always been uneasy, and can't help but look behind frequently.
Xie Li stood next to her, and also looked at her twice before saying, "This Xie Songhua is really stupid, he can be bullied by the maid to this extent!" ”
Xie Shuhua groaned for a while, seemed to sneer, and then said quietly: "Not necessarily, look at this time, didn't my father do it for her again, drove Bai Shao out, and beat everything else." ”
"What's this!" Xie Li disagreed, "A girl's family, even the elders to take care of the people in the yard for her, it seems to be cheap, but in fact, it also makes grandmother and father see her ability, in the long run, the third sister still thinks she can fall well?" ”
Xie Shuhua was stunned, thought about it carefully, and then showed a little smile, and hurriedly restrained herself, "But I think it's shallow." ”
As she spoke, she glanced again at the old lady's room.
At this time, Xie Qian also took all the people in the room down, and the Shou'an Hall was completely quiet.
"Are you literate?" The old lady picked up the wad of paper again, squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time before asking.
Xie Songhua sat in the seat and seemed a little at a loss, and his face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "In the past, Mr. Murakami rented the room next door to our house to teach, hired me to help clean up the house, and secretly learned some words. ”
Hearing her say this, Old Madam Xie nodded, "No wonder, I can write even though I can write so badly." ”
"There is no pen and paper at home, I, I always use branches on the ground to draw the words I learned, this is written with charcoal."
Old Madam Xie sighed, and there seemed to be some appreciation on her face, "It's also your life that is hard, and when you encounter such a thing, this is already a bit of understanding, and you haven't been to school seriously for a day." ”
Xie Yuncang didn't want to talk about this, "Where did you get these things you wrote above?" ”
Xie Songhua hurriedly said: "These days, Sister Bai Shao controls me strictly, I can't do this, I can't do that, fortunately, she is willing to let me go around the house, and she doesn't follow me, so I am happy to go shopping for more than an hour every day." ”
As she spoke, a shallow smile appeared on her face, "Many of the people in the mansion don't know my identity, but when I am a little girl in the mansion, they are willing to talk to me, and these are what I learned from them." ”
"You don't know what to write on here, you can explain it to me." Xie Yuncang handed the pile of paper to Xie Songhua.
Xie Songhua took it a little shyly and said, "I ......"
"It's just the three of us here, and no one laughs at you."
Hearing Xie Yuncang's words, Xie Songhua seemed to have the courage, "I'm just bored to think of something to write." ”
She picked up the first piece of paper, "This is the first day I went to the garden, and I saw a few mothers-in-law quarreling, and I thought it was fun to write it down, but it was nothing more than unclear responsibilities and rights, and the benefits were unknown." ”
Seeing that the two people above didn't say anything, she picked up the second piece of paper, "This is the low house at the end of the walk, and an old mother told me that it was all sick in the house and temporarily moved there to recuperate, but I found it very rare to recuperate there." ”
She went on to tell what she had seen and heard in her house, and her words were clear and her demeanor was delicate, and she wrote it down with curiosity.
When she finally got the last piece of paper, Xie Yuncang's eyes became a little sharp, "I can understand the others, how can this one be written so sloppily, many of them are unrecognizable." ”
Xie Songhua was a little embarrassed, as if he was embarrassed, "This is the price of grain." ”
