Chapter 78: Handsome
Gu Baiyu's sudden appearance not only did not make these people relent, but made them even more indignant in their hearts.
In good conscience, they all saw Xiao Yanlin's love for Gu Baiyu, and since Gu Baiyu came, they have always been very peaceful.
Xiao Yanlin watched closely, they didn't have a chance to go to Gu Baiyu to beg for help, but they didn't do anything wrong, but they didn't think that Chengdu had been so restrained, and they would be expelled from the Hou Mansion, so they were naturally unwilling.
Being a subordinate in the Hou Mansion is a good errand.
There are no elders in the Hou Mansion, and there are not many rules, as long as you are diligent and diligent, the monthly money you get every month is also very high;
You must know that several of them signed a death deed, and in some large families, such subordinates don't even have monthly money, just food and clothing.
No one wants to leave the Hou Mansion, let alone some positions that still have some oil and water to be fished.
Now that they are going to be expelled from the mansion, they only think that Gu Baiyu looks good-tempered, so they are not afraid of her.
"What did Madame say by that? A few of us have been diligent, although we are not as good as Miss Lingyu in front of Madame, but we can't drive us away without reason! β
This person spoke with a gun and a stick, and in and out of his words, he seemed to imply that Lingyu was Gu Baiyu's henchman, and those of them who did not come forward to curry favor with her would be looked down upon by Gu Baiyu.
Some people come out, and others are even more fearless.
"That's it! Madame must give us a reason to convince us to-day! Otherwise, even if we leave today, the other subordinates in the mansion may not dare to do things under Madame's hands! β
This is simply a big reversal!
The old housekeeper frowned abruptly when he heard this, and Gu Baiyu also frowned slightly.
These people are really thorns!
Gu Baiyu turned his gaze to the old housekeeper on the side, nodded at him slightly, and said, "What did these people do in the mansion before?" β
The old housekeeper immediately stepped forward and counted what several people had done before to Gu Baiyu.
Some of them are cheating, and some of them are making money on the matter of purchasing......
In short, none of them are innocent.
After listening to the old butler's words, those people's faces turned red.
The man who came out at the beginning, his eyes rolled slightly, but what he said in his mouth was: "The ancients, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." It seems that now in this Hou Mansion, it is also a lady's word! Alas, the lady and the old butler insisted on teaching us to be expelled from the house, and to put it bluntly, why should we put any on our heads! β
The others reacted, "That's it!" There is no evidence for words, but there is evidence? β
There was even more boldness, and he had already started to walk in front of Gu Baiyu.
"Madame, don't you think that you have secured the position of the head of the house? Madame is going to send down so many of us at once, does Master Hou know? β
"Yes, we want to see Master Hou!"
After speaking, a few people stepped forward in person, with a posture of wanting to surround Gu Baiyu in the middle!
These people are all upright and middle-aged men, and they surrounded them all at once, and if they didn't say anything else, they made people feel uneasy in terms of momentum.
Lingyu vigilantly guarded Gu Baiyu's side, and the old housekeeper also hurriedly took a few steps forward.
And Gu Baiyu's gaze has gradually changed, from the beginning of wanting to solve it with them, to now, there is impatience and a little coldness in his eyes.
Something that gets an inch!
Seeing that Gu Baiyu's expression was wrong, the old housekeeper was anxious, and only sighed that his heart was too soft, and he didn't solve the whole matter neatly.
thought about the reprimand, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yanlin coming from behind.
The old butler's steps immediately took a step back, and he shook his head secretly in his heart.
The eyes of those who looked at those who came out were also full of pity.
This man is not satisfied!
Being so polite to the master's family, they still have to inch in, and now they are rushing to find death, and no one can save them.
And those few people, who didn't notice Xiao Yanlin who came in at the door, saw that Gu Baiyu stopped talking, thinking that he was frightened by himself, and said proudly: "I advise Madame, to make such a major decision, it is still ...... what Master Hou said."
"That's right! We are not convinced, we have to wait for the Hou Ye to fall! β
Seeing that the situation was urgent, they thought they had won the battle, but they didn't expect a cold voice to suddenly come from behind them.
"You're looking for me?"
No one expected that Xiao Yanlin would suddenly appear at this time.
The backs of those troublemakers were almost stiff.
The head turned back inch by inch, and the moment I saw Xiao Yanlin appearing, a few timid people had already knelt on the ground with a thud!
There are also some active minds and more cunning, and when they saw Xiao Yan coming, their faces changed abruptly, and they slowly moved back, trying to reduce their sense of existence.
And Xiao Yanlin had already walked quickly to Gu Baiyu's side.
He stood still behind Gu Baiyu, and his warm big hand gently rested on Gu Baiyu's back.
Gu Baiyu turned his head, and stopped talking a little: "Master Hou......"
Xiao Yanlin glanced at her gently, and his hand was on her back without moving.
Through the thin fabric, the gentle palm seems to transmit infinite strength to her.
"You take care of it."
Gu Baiyu glanced at Xiao Yanlin gratefully.
She knew that if Xiao Yan came out to support her, the matter would be solved quickly, but she didn't want to do this.
She wanted to figure it out on her own.
In other words, with the tacit understanding between the two of them, it has always been Xiao Yanlin who is outside the main house and Gu Baiyu who is inside, so she hopes that Xiao Yanlin can let her do it.
This is her field, and it is also her confidence.
Compared with being a naΓ―ve girl who is not familiar with the world under Xiao Yanlin's wings forever, she wants to be the hostess of the back house within her own jurisdiction.
She was very grateful, and without any words, Xiao Yanlin understood what she meant, and just stood behind her, silently supporting.
Xiao Yanlin is like the solid backing she has been looking for for a long time, he is there, although he is silent, he firmly expresses his support.
Gu Baiyu turned his head and turned his gaze to those people: "The affairs of the back house, since the day I married into the Hou Mansion, I have taken over it with full authority, even if it is the Hou Ye ......."
"Even I am at the mercy of Madame's arrangement."
Xiao Yan said.
It is clear that he will support his wife to the end.
After that, everything was easily resolved, those people no longer had the arrogance of those people, and Gu Baiyu also wanted to send them away at will from the beginning, and changed it to thoroughly investigate the past actions of these people.
Throughout the afternoon, Gu Baiyu was resolute, not only found out what the old housekeeper said, but also found out what he didn't say.
Not only that, Gu Baiyu also took the opportunity to beat the other subordinates in the mansion as well.
If there is a fault, it will be punished according to the seriousness of the matter, the seller, the family law disposer, and the monthly fine will be deducted;
Those who keep to themselves and work diligently also have their own rewards: those who are good and famous, who are promoted to higher positions, and those who are good in money are rewarded with gold and silver......
Don't look at Gu Baiyu's young age, but he is very sophisticated and spicy in his eyes, and he has clear rewards and punishments for disposal, and he also grasps his weaknesses according to the different circumstances of each person.
Not to mention that people are convinced, even the old housekeeper praises it.
And Xiao Yanlin has been looking at her silently, his eyes have changed from gentleness at the beginning to appreciation, and in the end he has a little pity.
"Madame's amazing talent, it's a pity to only succumb to the back house."
Gu Baiyu was busy all afternoon, rubbing his sore neck, and when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and put Xiao Yanlin's free hand on his neck: "Master Hou is exaggerating again." Master Hou should not be idle, rub it for me, it is sour. β
After speaking, he obediently lay on Xiao Yanlin's lap, opened a pair of big eyes, and looked at Xiao Yanlin from the bottom up, looking coquettish, how could there be Leili just now, and he was decisive in killing.
Xiao Yan smiled, relaxed the movements of his hands, and knealed them one by one, "I'm serious, Madame looks at people with a spicy eye, knows how to see people's weaknesses, acts decisively, and is handsome in the barracks." β
Gu Baiyu squinted his eyes, obviously being served very comfortably: "Nonsense, if I go to the barracks to be a handsome, then what will become of Master Hou?" β
Xiao Yanlin's movements on his hand suddenly stopped.
Gu Baiyu raised her head, and was taken into her arms by Xiao Yanlin with one hand, and rubbed her side cheek with the other hand.
"Madame is handsome, I will naturally be the most loyal soldier in Madame's hand, and the sharpest knife in your hand."
Gu Baiyu's face rubbed against the palm with a thin callus: "I don't want it, I just want to be the millet worm behind Hou Ye, the sky is falling, just let you, who is tall, stand on top!" β
She was extremely gentle, and there was infinite restraint in her tone, Xiao Yanlin even felt that if time stopped at this moment forever, it would not be impossible.
However, there are always people who are bad at such times.
Lingyu didn't want to disturb the two of them, but the stakes were so high that she didn't dare not report it.
"Master Hou, madam, the little guy next to the second prince came, and he didn't send Aunt Gu back, but he picked up the second master."
Hearing this, Gu Baiyu frowned slightly.
Tomato is already married, and it is no longer in accordance with the rules to go out of the house without permission, and he hasn't come back when it's almost dark, and he called Xiao Ruoping away?
She was thinking about it, and Xiao Yanlin helped her get up: "Madame is tired today, can I take you out to eat?" I heard that the second prince has a private room in the Shuntian Teahouse, so let's go and join in the fun. β
Gu Baiyu's heart moved, "Okay." β
She also wanted to see if there was anything going on with the second prince and tomatoes, and Xiao Ruoping needed to appear as well.
