Chapter 453: Dismissal
On the second day, the old lady instructed the housekeeper: "Go and call all the subordinates." ”
The people are kicking in their hearts, the masters in the house are getting fewer and fewer, at the beginning after the two young ladies got married, the young master went to the border, and then the third master and the second lady also left the capital, I don't know what the masters think, there are only two or three masters left in the huge Hou Mansion, and it suddenly seems empty, and now everyone is called together I don't know what it is.
"Old lady, the people have arrived. Steward Qi said softly.
The old lady nodded: "It's not a death deed to sign a step forward." ”
Suddenly, more than twenty people came out.
"Each person will be given a hundred taels of silver, and then leave home Xiahou Mansion to find another way out. ”
The maids and girls below were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.
"Old lady, the slave has been waiting in the Hou Mansion for most of his life, and now let the old slave leave, the old slave doesn't know where to go?" said an older coachman with surprise.
"I remember that you are a man with children and daughters, and it is time to go back and enjoy the happiness with your children and grandchildren. After speaking, the old lady looked around: "Take the silver and leave, the Hou Mansion now has few masters, and there is no need for so many subordinates,"
Seeing that the old lady had made up her mind, these people had no choice but to get up and take the silver, and muttered in their hearts to leave the Hou Mansion.
There are still dozens of people who have signed the death deed, and the old lady swept it over everyone and said: "This is your deed of sale, take the deed of sale and let Steward Qi give no one two hundred taels of silver, so leave the Hou Mansion." ”
The rest of the people thought that after those people left just now, these people who were sold into the mansion would not leave, but they didn't expect that it was their turn now.
"Old lady, you can't have no one left by your side, let the servants stay. ”
Some people begged bitterly, some people were at a loss, and some people were secretly happy in their hearts, the old lady ignored what these people thought in their hearts, and waved her hand: "Let's go, follow Steward Qi to get the money." ”
Seeing that there was no possibility of change, these people had to get up and line up to find their deed of sale from Mama Chen's hands.
After everyone left, only Mama Chen was left by the old lady's side.
The old lady glanced at her and didn't speak, Mama Chen said directly: "Old lady, you can't drive the old slave away, the old slave has no children and no daughters, and can only sleep on the street when he leaves the house, the old lady can't bear to watch the slave and maid wandering on the street." ”
The words made the old lady smile: "Okay, then you can stay with me, the old man." ”
In comparison, Mama Chen knows more about the inside story, after the old lady met a farmer in the manor that day, the second master and the fourth young master disappeared, and it must be the follower who left, but why she left, Mama Chen still can't figure it out.
Chen Rui learned that the servants of Xiahou Mansion had been scattered, and rushed into Xiahou Mansion with anger.
This time the entry into the house was very smooth, no one intercepted, searched up and down, and there was no trace of Xiahou Lin, Chen Rui realized that he was in the old lady's place yesterday.
"The old lady has good means, what about the second old man in your mansion?" Chen Rui asked in a fierce voice.
The old lady didn't take Chen Rui's anger to heart at all: "The old man can hear clearly, Master Chen doesn't have to be so loud, the second child said that he went out for a walk after he got well, if you want to find him, just wait." ”
Full of nonsense! Chen Rui can believe it.
"Someone sneaked into the house yesterday, did Xiahou Lin, the old horseman, secretly run away with someone at that time?" Chen Rui was so angry that he couldn't imagine that people could be lost under his nose, and he suddenly felt that the fire in his heart was rushing up.
The old lady didn't raise her eyelids, picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, ignoring Chen Rui's words.
"Okay, Xiahou Lin, a shrunken turtle, only cares about his own life, and even loses his mother, what a coward!"
Seeing that the old lady ignored herself, Chen Rui felt bored, but he couldn't help but scold twice, and then left in a huff.
"Old lady......" Mama Chen was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, calculate the time, the second child has already walked out of the scope of the capital, at this time, even if you want to chase it, you can't catch it, as long as the boss is still in power at the border, these thieves won't dare to do anything to me." ”
The old lady understood in her heart that even if Shuang'er raised the anti-flag, the boss was still an important minister of the court, and the court did not dare to do anything to herself at this time.
Chen Rui was angry with a belly, this old thing, careless, put himself on the verge of it!
Seeing that he was angry and asked the reason, Mr. Sun pulled his goatee a few times, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "This is not easy to do, my lord, don't you forget, the third lady in Xiahou Mansion is still in the family temple, and now that the personnel of Xiahou Mansion have been transferred to zero, it is time for the third lady to come out to respect and be filial." ”
"It's still a lot of ideas from the gentleman, haha, it's a good plan!" Xiahou Yan has been locked up in the family temple for so many days, I am afraid that the people who already hate Xiahou Mansion hate itchy teeth, put her back in the mansion, and the old lady will not have to live a peaceful life anymore.
Chen Rui felt happy when he thought of Xiahou Yan turning the Hou Mansion upside down, and without further ado, he asked people to hurry up and send Xiahou Yan back to Xiahou Mansion.
Xiahou Yan, who has been in the temple for several years, has been cursing day and night since she first came in to being silent now, and she is no longer cursing, but she just hides this hatred in her heart, and is bent on planning how to take revenge after she goes out.
The life in the nunnery is really hard, there are no maids and maids, no rouge gouache and exquisite food, and they have to work under the supervision of the master every day. His face was sallow, his palms were rough, and he had some gray hair at a young age.
Xiahou Yan thought that she would spend the rest of her life in the nunnery like this, but she didn't expect someone to come and pull herself out of the nunnery directly, and those masters didn't dare to resist when they saw this group of guards.
"Who are you, where are you going to take me?" Xia Hou Yan struggled desperately, trying to get rid of these people's clamps.
"Miss Xiahou, I advise you to be honest, otherwise you won't blame me for being polite!" One of the guards saw her keep shouting, and directly pulled out a bright steel knife, Xiahou Yan was so frightened that she suddenly lost her life.
Only then did the group drive the carriage in the direction of the capital with satisfaction.
Xiahou Yan was nervous, and she didn't know how to send herself back there, until the carriage stopped, and the people outside scolded her to let her down, and Xiahou Yan got out of the carriage tremblingly.
Looking up, a few bright big characters in Xiahou Mansion flashed in front of her, Xiahou Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and thought about it: Could it be that her grandmother was kind and sent someone to bring her back?
Xiahou Yan shook her head, no, if she was so kind, she would not have suffered so many years in the temple.
Thinking of the people in Xiahou Mansion, the hatred in Xiahou Yan's heart came to me one after another, since I am back, I will not let you get better!
