Second Master Yao suddenly felt guilty, because he knew that this matter must be about him.
Although he didn't quite understand how his affairs were related to the family tradition, it was indeed him who almost put the Yao family in trouble. If he hadn't been tricked into the casino and owed so much money all of a sudden, the Yao family would have
Neither will...
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gambled. I..."
Before Mr. Yao could finish speaking, Gu Qingling said with a cold face: "It is indeed your fault. You usually raise birds and fight crickets, but you dare to gamble with others. You simply don't take family law seriously.
"
"Family...family law?" Second Master Yao was a little confused, "Mom, when did our family have family law?"
Gu Qingling glared at him: "I said yes, I will do it now."
Second Master Yao: "..."
No, mother, you usually dote on me, why do I feel like you are digging a hole for me now?
Gu Qingling didn't care about that and directly "promulgated" her family law. Regardless of men, women, old or young, all descendants of the Yao family must recite the "Yao family rules". Once someone breaks the law, everyone will be dealt with according to the family rules.
Of course, this family rule has just been formulated after all, so it may not be perfect.
It's okay. If she thinks something needs to be added, she will make it up at that time.
Everyone: "..."
Can family rules still be like this?
Gu Qingling didn't care about that. Anyway, she set the family rules, and she would do whatever she said.
After talking about the family rules, the "Yao Family Rules" prepared in advance were distributed to the hands of Uncle Yao, Mrs. Yao, Second Master Yao, Second Mrs. Yao, concubine, concubine, grandchildren and aunts.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingling's face: "I am a fair person, everyone has it."
But this smile, in the eyes of Aunt Chen, was like a devil.
Old Aunt Chen was not willing to accept it at all: "As an aunt, why do I have to carry such a thing?"
"It's okay if you don't memorize it. You can leave the Yao family." Gu Qingling looked at her and said calmly, "If you want to be a member of the Yao family, you have to memorize the family rules. Don't worry, I will give you a month to memorize them slowly.
.A month later, I will randomly check each one again, and whoever memorizes it well will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba's eyes suddenly lit up. They were only fourteen years old. Although they got monthly silver, it was only 10 taels. Now Gu Qingling said that whoever can memorize it well will have 100 taels.
Isn’t that equivalent to saving money for a year?
The two little maids were immediately moved.
"Old lady, is it true?" Miss Yao Qi asked quickly.
Gu Qingling nodded: "Of course it's true, but after a month, you two can try it."
Seeing Aunt Zhang's two daughters being so active, Aunt Chen said: "..."
Well, for the sake of money, she was actually a little tempted.
As for being illiterate?
It's okay, Aunt Chen is illiterate, but she has two literate sons, so just look for them.
If it doesn't work out, I still have a third daughter-in-law.
Just when Mr. Yao thought that his "punishment" was about to pass, Gu Qingling directly turned to a certain page of "Yao's Family Rules" and asked Mr. Yao to read it himself.
Second Master Yao was terrified: "Expelled...expelled from the house?! Mom, are you expelled from the house for gambling?"
He quickly raised his head and looked at his mother - right? His mother was going to kick him out?!
"This will be the rule from now on. If the amount of gambling is huge, or if you participate in gambling more than three times, you will be expelled from the house." Gu Qingling said expressionlessly, "Although thousands of taels of gold is indeed considered a 'huge amount,' you are a first-time offender, and you are in
Those who break the rules before the family rules are established will not be kicked out of the house, but the punishment should not be less."
"What punishment?"
"There are three punishments. The first is to kneel in the ancestral hall for an hour every day for a month after you recover from your injuries. The second is to pay off the debt you owe due to gambling for three years. The third is to
, punished by copying 100 articles of "Yao Family Rules"."
Second Master Yao took a breath of air: "Mom, I am your biological son!"
Isn’t this penalty a bit too much? One penalty would be enough, but three were actually given.
"Yes, if you were not my biological son, I would kick you out directly."
Mr. Yao did not dare to speak anymore and accepted the punishment obediently.
Also, compared to being "expelled from the house", which is just asking him to kneel down and copy, it doesn't seem to be serious.
However, does his mother really think that he can pay off so much money within three years?
In addition to punishing Master Yao, Mrs. Yao was also named.
Mrs. Yao Er was very surprised. How come the mistake Mr. Yao made was none of her business?
Gu Qingling said: "Why don't you care about your wife? There is a saying called 'husband is honored and wife is valued', which in turn means 'husband makes mistakes and wife is ashamed'. Husband and wife are one body. If you think your man has done something wrong, you can run away."
Lose?"
Mrs. Yao Er feels a little aggrieved. Her legs are on Mr. Yao's body, so she has to take care of them, right?
But Gu Qingling didn't care. Anyway, husband and wife were the same. Since Mr. Yao had been punished, as his wife, she would also be punished without mentioning anything.
After arguing for a long time, Mrs. Yao Er, who had always relied on the fact that she was marrying the old lady's favorite son, and who was always "helping others", chewed her silver teeth into pieces, and had no choice but to admit it.
But then, Mrs. Yao Er felt much better, because all the servants who usually took Master Yao out to play were punished by Gu Qingling.
Not only were they punished, but several of them who were caught by Lu Qingling were also directly tied up by Lu Qingling and "sold" directly.
Everyone's skin tightened and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Sure enough, after the fire burned out Mr. Yao, no one else was spared either.
Mrs. Yao was directly deprived of the family rights by Gu Qingling because she was unlucky as a housekeeper; Aunt Chen was punished by copying 100 family rules because she was always "double-dealing" and instigating her children to respect their aunt's mother; even the honest Aunt Zhang did not run away because
She built a "Buddha Hall", which was "extravagant and grand".
Everyone: "..."
You said that Auntie Chen was "instigating her children" earlier, but what did Auntie Chen do here?
Auntie Zhang doesn’t set up the Buddhist temple every day or two anymore. She is usually very frugal. If you insist on calling her “extravagant and fashionable”, you won’t even do it like that.
However, Aunt Zhang was not Aunt Chen. Even if she was "picked on" by Gu Qingling, she just accepted the punishment without any complaints.
Aunt Chen sitting next to her vomited blood: Damn it, you made me look like a bad person after you did this!
Silent Aunt Zhang:...
Gu Qingling didn't even look at Aunt Zhang, and began to "train" the concubine and concubine in the family. Anyway, no matter whether you made a mistake or not, they can find it for you and won't let you copy the family rules 180 times.
, she is not human.
In addition, a batch of servants were also sold on the spot.
The reason is simple - slaves bully their masters.
Anyway, either she felt that these people were difficult to handle, or she thought that the master of the family was too "extravagant" and used too many servants and needed to be streamlined. Almost in an instant, the Yao family's servants were "reduced"
