Mr. Yao Liu just wanted to cry: "You bunch of trash, do you know who is the master? Just wait for me. When I go out, I will not let you have an easy time..."
Shedding tears and speaking the harshest words.
Mother Zhao, the housekeeper, calmly asked those people to go down and do what they were supposed to do, and then asked the nursing staff to escort Mr. Yao Liu back to the house.
Without even reporting to the old lady Gu Qingling, the housekeeper Zhao Ma took the decision to "close" Yao Liuye's small black room and deprived him of his dinner.
"What are you doing? You are a housekeeper, why do you shut me up?!"
"Let me out, you old woman, do you hear me? Let me out -"
"I am your master, if you dare to lock me up, I will definitely tell the old lady, and she will not let you go."
…
Zhao's mother also had the coffee table and chairs moved and placed them deliberately in front of Yao Liuye's door. Then she prepared tea and snacks and just sat there and drank slowly.
Yao Liuye, who was locked in the room, was dumbfounded. He immediately flew into a rage and cursed loudly.
Zhao Ma ignored him, he scolded him, she drank hers, and after that she even cracked melon seeds, as if she was just "listening to a show".
Mr. Yao Liu was furious.
After he scolded him until his mouth went dry and he yelled for someone to bring tea in, Mother Zhao finally spoke: "Hey, are you done scolding me? I thought that Master Yao Liu was so powerful and capable of scolding... You go on.
!”
"You old pious woman, you are just a servant. How dare you do this to me? You don't want to live anymore!"
Zhao Ma looked at Master Yao Liu inside the door and smiled: "Master Yao Liu, what are you kidding me? If you don't get the old lady's approval, do you think this slave dares to do this to you?"
"What do you mean?!" Yao Liuye was shocked.
"What I mean is..." Zhao Ma paused deliberately and said, "I want you to understand the current situation clearly and figure out whether you have the final say in this yard or whether it is the slaves who have the final say."
"you……"
"Um?"
"You...you mean, you are the old lady...jun (po) who deliberately came to torture me?"
"You are thinking too much. The old lady doesn't have the time to spare. You are just a bastard and you are not motivated, so the old lady is too lazy to talk to you. She just doesn't want to waste her time and energy on you, so she went out of her way to
I bought someone like a slave to 'take care' of you." Zhao Ma ate a melon seed and said, "As for you, you can make trouble as you like, no matter how much trouble you make, with the slave watching, you can't make trouble out of this yard. slave
In other words, you can buy a servant with more than a dozen taels of silver to provide him with food, drink, and so on. If you can spend that little money to keep me in your care for the rest of your life, the old lady will have saved a lot of money..."
Yao Liuye is scary.
"I don't understand where this money is saved? It's very simple. How much money can a slave spend? But it's different for you, Mr. Six. If you abide by the rules and do a good job, the old lady will give you a betrothal gift and get a wife.
You still have to spend money to choose a yard for you and support a family... Then the money spent will not be much."
"What...what does the old lady want to do?! She wants to lock me up for the rest of my life?!" Mr. Yao Liu's legs were weak and his back was cold.
If someone had told him this before, Yao Liuye would certainly not believe it.
But since he was "arrested" from the capital, Yao Liuye has been "watched" many times and has never been released.
Until now, it has fallen into the hands of the housekeeper, Zhao Ma.
The old lady told him on the first day she came here: "So you are Mr. Liu Yao. Hello, my slave Mrs. Zhao. Just call me 'Mama Zhao'. From now on, I will be responsible for taking care of Mr. Liu."
When he saw it, Zhao Ma told him such a "terrible" truth.
Zhao Ma burst out laughing: "When did I say that the old lady will lock you up for the rest of your life? What I mean is that if you disobey, the old lady won't mind locking you up for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"
"I...when did I disobey? She said she would lock me up, so I was locked up. What else can I do?" Yao Liuye argued.
He didn't admit it. He had never been honest since he was imprisoned.
As long as there is a chance, he wants to "make trouble" and go out early. However, it is a pity that every time he is "beaten" back, every time he has to return to this courtyard to copy books, and there are people following him every step of the way.
Don't fall off.
"Sixth Master, you must be obedient. Have you finished copying the "Yao Family Rules"?"
Yao Liuye choked: "...am I still copying? Besides, the old lady didn't let me finish copying at once. Didn't she ask me to prepare a plan and copy a little bit every day..."
"Yes, but you haven't finished copying. How can you get out if you haven't finished copying as a punishment?" Zhao Ma calculated it for him in front of Master Yao Liu.
If Mr. Yao Liu had copied the family rules honestly from the beginning, he would have finished copying the family rules a hundred times and the people had gone out. But who made Mr. Yao Liu not to be honest?
Either he wanted to find someone to copy for him, but he was caught cheating, or he copied carelessly and was fined, or he made some other mistakes and was caught, and was fined again...
I went back and forth and copied the family rules hundreds of times no matter how many times, but I never finished them.
"Do you think you are at a loss? If you had been serious a long time ago, how could you still keep copying here? A dignified sixth master actually got his turn to be guarded by a servant and copied the family rules here. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...
Do you think you are miserable?"
Yao Liuye looked embarrassed and didn't want to talk to her.
Mother Zhao didn't mind either, cracked a melon seed, and continued: "It's true that I said you can't recognize the situation. I can tell by your temperament. Back then, you must have had the wind and the rain, but you
You also need to see clearly whether this is the time for you to show off your authority. Take a look for yourself, how many of the slaves in this courtyard can be controlled by you? In addition to the usual things like serving tea and water, those are necessary
, what the slave is saying is, like you just wanted someone to send a message...Look at the people below, who responded to you?"
"Isn't it because of you?" Yao Liuye glared at her angrily. If it weren't for this old woman, would the servants be so disobedient?
Zhao's mother didn't admit it. She said that the people below did not listen to her, but listened to the "rules".
The old lady re-established the rules, and the servants should do what they were asked to do, and the orders she gave were what these servants should do, so these servants listened to her.
If it were any other matter, they wouldn't necessarily listen to her.
It stands to reason that Master Yao Liu is the master and the master. No matter whether it is the job of the servants or not, as long as he gives an order, no one will disobey him. But why doesn't everyone follow him?
"Yao Liuye, haven't you ever thought about it?"
Yao Liuye paused there and said with a suspicious look on his face: "What do you mean by this? Do you mean to say that if they don't listen to me, it actually has nothing to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me in the first place. Or if you think about it again, why is me just a servant? Why doesn't me listen to you?"
"Because you belong to the old lady, and you listen to the old lady. Isn't this normal?"
"Yes, the slaves belong to the old lady, but what about them?"
"They are also the old lady's people..." Yao Liuye was shocked. He looked at Zhao Ma outside the door and said, "You mean, all the people in my yard are the old lady's people?!"
