Chapter 58: Tongue
Frost Red was taken by Lingyu to the courtyard where the people lived, because Frost Red was struggling all the way, so the movement was a little big.
By this time, the people had finished their work for the whole day, except for the guards who were on guard, and the people who needed to be on duty in the various courtyards, everyone else had already returned to the place to rest.
Therefore, after noticing the movement outside, many people poked their heads out to watch.
However, when they saw these two people, one was Shuanghong, who was looked at differently by Hou Ye, and the other was the big girl beside Gu Baiyu, the mother of the house, and they all chose not to make this trip to the troubled waters.
But Rao was like this, and he didn't have the heart to rest, but pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.
They also want to know what the situation will be in this Hou Mansion in the future.
Gu Baiyu has just entered the house, Xiao Yanlin has seen her important family, and today I heard that the old housekeeper has handed over the housekeeping authority to Gu Baiyu.
It is true that they all guessed that Gu Baiyu would be in this Hou Mansion in the future, but they also wanted to see what kind of temper this new master and the people around her were, and pay attention to it in the future, so as not to upset Mrs.
Outside the house, Lingyu had already let go of Frost Red, her sideburns were a little disheveled because of the hunger struggle just now, and she looked at Lingyu angrily.
"Isn't that what I just said right? Didn't Mrs. get entangled with the second master before she got married? Didn't Madame abandon her brother and marry her brother? How can such a woman who is not determined to be worthy of Master Hou?! ”
She swore by it, and the more she spoke, the more annoyed she became, as if in her eyes, Gu Baiyu had become a goblin like Nada, who had brought disaster to the country and the people.
Lingyu didn't get angry when she heard such words?
"Don't talk nonsense! It was the second master's wishful thinking before, and the lady has already drawn a line with him, where did you hear this? Forget it, no matter where you hear it, it's just one-sided, Mrs. has already told Hou Ye about the matter with the second master in the past, and the second master is now married to Aunt Gu, and Hou Ye himself has not pursued it anymore, what are you doing! ”
"That's Hou Ye being blinded for a while!"
Lingyu laughed angrily: "That's none of your business, what position do you have to say such things?" Mrs. is from a famous family, dignified and virtuous, and has the same heart as the Hou Ye, they are not compatible, who can match the Hou Ye, are you worthy? ”
Lingyu still remembers that Shuanghong broke the medicine bowl and looked at Xiao Yanlin's gaze with tears, she was really thoughtful, Hou Ye pitied her for being helpless, but she had such a thought!
Lingyu stared at Frost Red's eyes, trying to see greed and ambition in her eyes, or the annoyance and anger that had been exposed, but this time Lingyu was disappointed.
Frost Red's expression did change, but it wasn't the emotions she thought.
After hearing Lingyu's sentence "Are you worthy?", Shuanghong's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief, as if she had heard some extremely shocked guess.
Lingyu vaguely felt that something was not right, but when he looked at Frost Red again, he had already withdrawn the emotion on his face.
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Lingyu looked up and saw that it was Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yan coming.
Gu Baiyu had just waited for a while, but when she didn't see Lingyu come back, she had some worries in her heart, so Xiao Yanlin simply brought her here.
Just walked to the door, just heard Lingyu's sentence "Are you worthy", in front of Xiao Yanlin, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, how could this Nizi speak so bluntly.
The two people who had just confronted each other also saw the arrival of Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu, stopped the dispute, and saluted the two.
The subordinates who were originally hiding in the house also walked out quickly and saw the two masters.
As soon as Xiao Yanlin came, the room was silent, and before Lingyu could report what had happened, Xiao Yanlin had already raised his hand to stop her words.
"No matter what the reason, being disrespectful to the master's mother is touching the Hou Mansion's plan, and you go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment."
"Also," Xiao Yanlin looked at Shuanghong, his expression was very flat: "My wife and I are in love, and we don't need anyone to put their beaks, if anyone has such thoughts, then go to the housekeeper to get the deed of sale and leave the Hou Mansion as soon as possible." ”
Shuanghong bit his lower lip, he knew that Xiao Yanlin was really angry.
Xiao Yanlin obviously knew that she was not afraid of any punishment, what she was afraid of was that the Hou Mansion no longer needed her.
Frost Hong knelt on the ground and bowed her head deeply: "The slave knows." ”
Xiao Yan couldn't make a sound, she lowered her head and didn't dare to get up, and after a while, a pair of small boots stopped in front of Shuanghong's eyes.
Gu Baiyu looked condescendingly at the beautiful woman kneeling on the ground, and didn't speak for a long time.
Shuanghong could feel the scrutinizing gaze fall on the top of her head, an indescribable pressure rose from her heart, she felt that she was right, everything she did was for Xiao Yanlin, but in front of Gu Baiyu, the natural and noble temperament on Gu Baiyu made her unable to say anything ugly in front of Gu Baiyu, as if those words would stain Gu Baiyu's ears.
Shuanghong still lowered her head, waiting for Gu Baiyu's reprimand, or humiliation.
However, Gu Baiyu just said lightly: "Do you know what you did wrong?" ”
Shuanghong raised her head and looked at Gu Baiyu for the first time: "The slave doesn't know!" ”
Gu Baiyu smiled lightly, not angry: "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you." ”
"It is disloyal to speculate on the master's mind and question the master's decision; Privately discussing the rights and wrongs of the master, still in front of everyone, and no matter what you say is right or wrong, but it hinders the reputation of the Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion, which is unjust. ”
"You keep saying that you are thinking about the Hou Ye, why did you do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing? Do you know that if you dare to question this family matter in front of everyone today, someone will question the Hou Mansion and the Hou Ye tomorrow. You have a special identity, even you say this, what will others think of the Hou Ye and the palace, have you ever thought about it? ”
Gu Baiyu's voice was not stern, but Shuanghong couldn't refute it: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can tell me face to face, so that there are many non-gentlemen who talk about right and wrong behind your back." It is necessary to know that many things are disasters that come from the mouth, and the rod will be exempted, and the punishment will be twenty years, and the monthly money will be stopped for three months. ”
This punishment was much lighter than Shuanghong imagined, she was still unconvinced in her heart, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, but remembered that Gu Baiyu said that because of her words, she might provoke criticism from outsiders about the Hou Mansion, and she felt remorse in her heart.
Her remorse Gu Baiyu could see it clearly, she didn't plan to continue to investigate, let Shuanghong think about it herself.
"Alright, that's the end of today's business."
Xiao Yanlin also spoke at the right time: "In the future, if you have Mrs. to take care of you, you don't have to come to the main courtyard to be on duty anymore." ”
Xiao Yanlin made a final decision and decided the life of Shuanghong after frost.
At this point, the matter has come to an end for the time being, and the subordinates who have been listening with their ears pricked up also have their own thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that Master Hou really values Mrs., and Mrs. is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and her work is really convincing.
An argument ended, and Lingyu followed behind Gu Baiyu, preparing to go back to the main courtyard.
Walking to the gate of the main courtyard, Gu Baiyu suddenly spoke: "You will also be fined a month's money." ”
Lingyu's eyes widened: "Madam! ”
"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, talk to me first, and if you want to clean up people, there are other ways, why do you have to do it yourself, you are making this trouble today, for fear that others will not know that you are hot?"
Lingyu pouted: "I'm not here to be angry with my wife......"
Gu Baiyu nodded, and took out a silver ingot from his purse: "Well, I know." Take the reward of faithful protection of the Lord. ”
Lingyu looked at the big ingots in her hand, and suddenly burst into tears and laughed, she only had half a tael of silver a month, and Mrs. really had a knife mouth and a tofu heart!
Xiao Yanlin looked at the master and servant from the side, and also felt interesting.
It seems that Gu Baiyu didn't treat Lingyu as a person at all, but taught her sister instead.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanlin also took out a silver ingot from his purse: "A reward for Mrs. ”
Lingyu only felt that she was illuminated by the God of Wealth today, and she was so happy that she didn't know how to know it, and looked at Xiao Yanlin's face full of emotion.
Lingyu was so moved that she said very interestingly that the money was too much, and it was not safe to carry it with her, so she was going to hide it, and then left quickly.
Xiao Yanlin looked at her back and laughed, with some teasing in his voice: "The maid taught by Mrs. is really interesting." ”
Gu Baiyu squinted at him.
Xiao Yanlin's heart moved, and he hugged the person horizontally: "But Madame is more interesting." Today's lady is really sharp and convincing, and Mrs. is so majestic! ”
Gu Baiyu beat his chest with his hand: "It's not as good as Master Hou!" The frost red girl is fascinated by the Hou Ye! ”
Xiao Yanlin wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he decided not to say anything, and only hugged the person all the way to the bed.
Gu Baiyu struggled: "I haven't changed my clothes yet!" Dirty! I want to wash, I want to bathe! ”
Xiao Yanlin grabbed Gu Baiyu's hands, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "I'll wash it later, and I will wash it twice......
Gu Baiyu blushed: "I'm very busy today, I'm sweating, let me go wash it." ”
Xiao Yanlin grabbed her finger to her lips and bit it: "It's not dirty, Madame is sweet and delicious, and extremely cute." ”
......
After Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin left, Shuanghong went to find the old housekeeper.
It is undeniable that Xiao Yanlin's attitude still scared her, and she didn't want to leave the Hou Mansion.
After receiving twenty slaps, blood spilled from the corners of Frost Red's mouth.
The old housekeeper had the heart to set rules for her, and he also wanted her to teach her a lesson, so the person who started was a little heavier, and he also watched from the side and didn't say anything to stop it.
After all the punishments were over, Frost Red hurriedly left and went back to her room.
Because Xiao Yanlin and the old housekeeper took care of her a lot before, although they lived in the next person's room, everyone else was in a room for four people, and only she lived in one by herself.
My face is still sore and swelling, and I might be swollen tomorrow.
Shuanghong was lying on the bed, and the words Gu Baiyu said were still echoing in her mind.
Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of a soft knock on the door.
"Who?" Frost Hong frowned, she had just been punished today, who came to see her joke?
The sound outside the door surprised Frost Red.
"It's me, Aunt Gu."
