The affairs of the maid are left to the aunt to handle, but the servants in the mansion still need to be dealt with. You must know that Luo Mansion used to have a big business, so servants were naturally indispensable, but the current situation does not allow so many servants to be left at all, so we have to
Dismissed some of the servants. After seeing off my aunt, I asked the housekeeper to summon all the servants.
After the housekeeper heard this, he ordered his servants to put down what they were doing and go to the main courtyard. Madam had something to say. The matter was so big last time, how could the servants not know about it. If Luo Mansion was sealed, they would have to come out and start again.
Adapting to the new environment. After listening to the butler's words, I knew it was time for my wife to make a decision.
Soon, all the servants in the mansion were standing in the courtyard of the main courtyard. The housekeeper entered the house and said to the madam, "Madam, everyone is here."
After hearing this, the lady came to the courtyard and said to the servants: "Everyone should know what happened before. Something happened to the second master, and the house has to reduce the food and clothing expenses. You all know the situation in the Luo house.
We won’t need so many people in the future. In the future, the monthly salary may be reduced by half. If you don’t want to stay, you can go to the accountant’s office tomorrow morning to get your deed of betrayal and money and you can leave.”
Although their prostitution contracts are all in Luofu, Madam is unwilling to force them to stay. Rather than suffer with them, it is better to go out and find another way to make a living.
Apparently, the servants were a little surprised after hearing what the lady said. The lady actually promised to return the deed of betrayal to them.
The madam also asked them to make a decision now, after all, they need to think carefully. In the evening, the housekeeper returned to the main courtyard again and said to the madam: "Madam, someone has just looked for the slaves, and they are not willing.
I left and promised to reduce my monthly salary by half. I wrote down the servants I am willing to stay on this list."
The lady took the list, and half of the people on it were willing to stay. The lady was very touched, and she didn't expect that they would be willing to stay.
Then he asked, "You didn't force them to stay, did you?"
"How could I do this? They all stayed here voluntarily. Also, I forgot to tell Madam that the servants are also willing to stay," the butler said.
At this time, the maid and nun beside the madam suddenly knelt down beside the madam and said to the madam: "Madam, we are not willing to leave. Even if there is no monthly salary, we are willing to stay and serve the madam."
"I know you are reluctant to leave, but I can't watch you suffer with me," the lady said.
"We all followed Madam from our parents' home, and we will never leave under any circumstances." Mammy said.
"Mommy is right, we are not leaving," the maid said.
None of the four maids around the lady were willing to leave, and there were four people in the yard who were also unwilling to leave.
There are only two maids close to my aunt. If they are willing to reduce their monthly salary by half, they can naturally stay in the mansion.
However, because Mr. Luo doted on Aunt Hu, there were four maids around Aunt Hu. One of them wanted to leave the Luo Mansion, but was pushed to the ground by the maid and let Aunt Hu teach her.
"You are a bunch of ungrateful people. You were about to leave when your monthly salary was cut in half. Why didn't you refuse the reward when I first offered it to you?" Aunt Hu said disdainfully.
The maid's face was already scarred. Looking carefully, her face was covered with old and new wounds. It seemed that Aunt Hu had taught her a lesson more than once. No wonder she wanted to leave Luo Mansion.
"I can return your aunt's reward to you, but I don't want to stay in the Luo family anymore," the maid said.
"Whether we leave or not is not up to you. If you want to leave, I won't agree. Even if you die, you must die in Luo's house for me." Aunt Hu said.
Aunt Sun in the yard next to her heard the commotion and hurriedly asked the maid next to her to ask the lady to come over.
The maid hurriedly went to the main courtyard in a panic. When the lady saw this, she asked, "What on earth happened to make you so panicked?"
"Madam, go and see Aunt Hu quickly. Cui'er will be beaten to death by her." The maid took a deep breath and said.
"What?" the lady asked angrily.
"My aunt and I were just entering the yard when we heard something going on in the yard over there," the maid said.
Without saying anything, the lady took her maid to Aunt Hu's yard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard the maid's cry. When she walked in, she saw a maid beating Cui'er with a whip.
"Stop," said the lady.
"My wife has a lot of free time today, and she went to my yard to meddle in other things." Aunt Hu said.
"Why did you hit her?" the lady asked.
"She is my slave. I can teach her whatever I want. Even if I sell her, she will still have to go out with a smile." Aunt Hu said.
"Madam, please save this slave." Cui'er cried.
As soon as Cui'er finished speaking, the maid covered her mouth. The lady glared at the maid and said, "What do you want? Let go."
The maid was frightened by the madam's shout and quickly let go of her hand. Grandma helped the maid up, and she was very hurt when she saw the sadness on her face.
"Look, my whole face is swollen." The lady asked.
Madam found out that when she came here just now, Aunt Hu was beating this maid, and now she was teaching her a lesson. What had she done to make Aunt Hu so angry?
The madam asked her to take Cui'er back first, and then said to Aunt Hu: "If you continue to be so restless and self-disciplined, don't blame me for being rude."
Madam's tolerance is limited, this is the last warning to Aunt Hu.
After returning to the main courtyard, grandma was giving medicine to Cui Er.
"Why did Aunt Hu hit you?" Madam then asked.
"Madam, actually, it was just because the second master once said that the slave girl was pretty, Aunt Hu became a little unhappy after hearing this. After that, she beat and scolded me. I wanted to leave Luo Mansion, but Aunt Hu
But he said that even if I die, I will die in Luofu. In fact, I have been helpless since I was a child and really want to stay in Luofu. However, Aunt Hu will not let me go and will beat me to death. Madam, if Madam is willing
, can you leave me in your yard?" Cui'er said.
No wonder Aunt Hu beat and scolded Cui'er so much. It turned out to be because of the second master's words. In the past, when the second master was here, Aunt Hu knew how to restrain herself, but now she beats and scolds her even more unscrupulously.
It's no wonder that the second master praised this girl, she was really pretty. In fact, Aunt Hu didn't need to care at all. If the second master fell in love with Cui'er, he wouldn't let Cui'er continue to serve Aunt Hu.
"Mommy, let me take good care of her first, and then bring her to me when she recovers. You also know the situation in the house now. If you are willing to stay, then stay." Mrs. Luo said.
"Thank you madam for taking me in," Cui'er said.
Other courtyard
After the young master of the Zhao family returned to the other courtyard, he asked Ran'er to invite his mother and Wen Yuan to Yun He's yard. He had something to discuss. After the young master of the Zhao family finished speaking, he also went to Yun He's yard.
In less than a quarter of an hour, mother and Wen Yuan had arrived.
"Mom, Miss Wenyuan, don't be nervous. I invited you here today because I want to follow you to the capital." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"You took Yunhe with you to find your relatives. It doesn't seem convenient for us to follow you, right?" Mom said.
"The reason why I asked you to go back together is because of Yun He's matter." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Actually, for the sake of Yun He's life experience, we can't be taken back. What if someone recognizes me and thinks of Yun He's life experience?" Mom said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry, no one in the capital dares to spread rumors. Yun He's parents want to see her as soon as possible, so I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. If mother doesn't want to, I believe Yun He won't want to go back either." Young Master of the Zhao family
said.
"Mom, this is what I mean. If you and Sister Wenyuan don't go back to the capital together, then I won't go back either," Yun He said.
"Mom, I think it's better to just listen to Yun He and go back to Beijing together. Then we can take care of each other. Besides, many people in Licheng know that you have passed away, so leaving the capital is the best choice. Besides, look at you
He and Wen Yuan share the same love as mother and daughter, so it is better for them to treat each other as mother and daughter." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"I understand. Since it's what Yun He means, Wen Yuan and I can just go back with you." Mom said.
road.
Because he planned to leave early tomorrow morning, the young master of the Zhao family also left Yun He's yard.
Mother and Wen Yuan returned to the yard to pack their things. Wen Yuan remembered the words of the young master of the Zhao family, so he turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, in fact, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my mother. I want to take advantage of the opportunity
This opportunity, I accept you as my godmother, and I can stay by your side and take good care of you in the future." Z.br
"What a silly girl. I have already regarded you as my daughter, but I don't need you to take care of me. I will help you find a good man to marry," said the mother.
"Wen Yuan doesn't want to get married, he just wants to stay by your side for the rest of his life." Wen Yuan said.
After Yun He packed up his things, he went to Ningxiang's yard.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back. Why don't you go back with me?" Yun He said.
"You are going to recognize your relatives. It seems inappropriate for me to follow you." Ningxiang said.
"Mom and Wen Yuan will go back together. You might as well go back with us. It's always wrong to leave you here alone." Yun He said.
"Now that the second master has committed suicide, I shouldn't stay in the other courtyard anymore." Ningxiang said.
Ningxiang has long been disheartened by her parents. If she returns home now, she will definitely be plotted against by her parents. Her parents only have money in their eyes, and they will secretly make bad plans when they see her go back.
Therefore, after leaving the Zhao Family Courtyard, she may really have no place to go. However, she cannot stay in the Courtyard and cause trouble to others.
"Since you can't stay in another courtyard, then come back to the capital with me." Yun He said.
"I won't go back with you this time." Ningxiang said.
Ningxiang knew that Yun He's life experience was not simple, and if she followed Yun He back, it would definitely bring inconvenience to Yun He.
Seeing that Yun He could not talk to her, she did not continue talking about the matter, but she secretly decided to bring Ningxiang back to the capital.
She planned to sleep with Ningxiang tonight. So, after washing herself, she stayed in Ningxiang's yard.
After extinguishing the candle at night, Ningxiang asked, "Are you unable to sleep?"
"That's right, thinking that I will see my family tomorrow makes me a little excited," Yun He said.
"For so many years, I thought you were no longer alive. Now that I can find you again, I must be very happy." Ningxiang said.
"I'm just worried that if they know that I dislike me at the Lichun Dean's Assembly," Yun He said.
"They are your parents, why would they dislike you?" Ningxiang said.
