Chapter 9 Severe Punishment
Mr. Yang first asked Hongxing: "Let me ask you, are you being lazy on purpose?"
"I don't have you," Hongxing said with tears in her eyes, kneeling down and saying in a sob voice. , "It's a little late today, but I didn't mean to do it.
Mother Yang, you know that I am here to raise children. Where can I be a sneaky person?"< br>
"Fart!" Zhang Ma interrupted her, "Are you just late today? What day is not spent dawdling? Plus that pendant, I always ask you to do some work, if you dare to use embroidery There is no joy in picking up dirt, or the person is nowhere to be found, and I don’t know where to hide.
You keep saying it's not intentional, does that mean we are making things difficult for you? ”
Mother Zhang looked fierce. She had her hands on her hips and her thick eyebrows were raised, making her look even more sinister.
The pendant was standing aside, and was intimidated by her aura. He knelt down unconsciously.
“Sister, don’t be angry yet. Mrs. Yang pretended to be humane and said, "These little girls sometimes do things in a stubborn way and don't know how to adapt." Or maybe it’s just lost, like it’s lost its soul, and we need to take good care of it! "
"I also know that this person is not perfect, but the most important thing in being a servant is loyalty. Even if you don't do it well once or twice, it doesn't matter.
But if the heart is dirty and the lungs are damaged, it will be serious. "Mother Zhang also put on a smiling face, but her smile was really not very pretty. She looked like she was about to bite someone. "Don't you think so, Mother Yang? ”
“This is nature, this is nature. "Of course Mrs. Yang will not refute this.
Mother Zhang took the food box and said to Mrs. Yang of the Song family and to everyone present: "Don't worry about it being a little later, everyone, just take a look at these. What kind of food did the two girls bring to the madam and the young master? "
The food in the food box has long been cold, and it is not the master's food.
"What's going on with you two? Song took the initiative and asked, "Who allowed you to do this?" ”
Hongxing and Zhuangzi were also panicked at this time, hesitating and saying: "That's... that's the only thing we had when we went to the kitchen..."
"It seems that Mother Zhang didn't feel anything at all. I'm wronging you! If there's a lack of food in the kitchen, you just go to me, and it's your turn to make your own decisions?" Mrs. Yang scolded, she didn't want to implicate the people in the kitchen because of this matter, her in-laws were in charge of that stall. Yes, let's just let these two girls admit all their sins, "Hurry up and make amends to my wife!"
Ms. Song also said to Wen Mingqian with extreme apologies: "I've been ill these past few days, really. It was a bit of an oversight, and I didn’t expect these two girls to be so presumptuous. It’s no wonder that you and the fourth young master were wronged.”
Wen Mingqian, who had not spoken at this time, finally spoke: "Mama Zhang is not looking for trouble for nothing, these two are really not decent.
I originally thought that maybe they made a mistake accidentally, so don't make a fuss over trivial matters. Individual system.
But later it turns out that they did this intentionally. If you don't punish them, you will not only indulge their bad intentions, but also ruin your reputation as a virtuous person.
Those who don’t know the details must spread the word. They treated our mother and son harshly because of your wishes. "
"Madam Mingjian, I really don't know that these two audacious people dare to hide such thoughts." Of course, it is impossible for Mrs. Song to protect these two girls in front of everyone, not to mention that she did not let them do this in the first place. Do, "Thank you more, madam, for knowing that I was not the one who ordered you to protect my reputation." "Aunt Song, I shouldn't have said that you have been too lenient, which is why these people have no respect." It’s time to take action on these two ignorant people today to prevent such ridiculous things from happening again in the future. "Zhang Ma curled her lips and said, "I just want everyone present to listen. Even though Madam has not been in this mansion for many years, you servants can't neglect her. Otherwise, fight or sell to see who is shameless! "
When everyone heard this, their faces were a little embarrassed. Mrs. Song laughed along with her and asked Wen Mingqian for instructions: "Madam, I wonder what you want to do with the two of them? ”
"Aunt Song, why do you need to ask Madam? Do you not know the rules in this house, or are you deliberately asking Madam to do things that offend people?" Zhang Ma asked Aunt Song with a half-smile.
"Mother Zhang, don't get me wrong. I asked Madam for instructions only because I respect her. If Madam has any special instructions, I will obey them." Ms. Song explained quickly.
“I don’t have any special instructions, just follow the rules.” Wen Mingqian responded calmly, “After this commotion for a long time, it’s time to study in Chang’an, let’s all disperse!”
"Then follow the rules and ask Yazi to come and sell them both." Ms. Song said, "I will do it, and I don't need to worry about it, Madam."
Hongxing and Zhuangzi After hearing this, the two of them naturally cried and begged. It wasn't because the house was so nice, but because they were kicked out because they treated their master harshly, which was a huge taboo.
When you are a servant, you have to take care of your reputation. If your reputation is not good, how can you find a good master?
But where can anyone speak for them at this time? Several older women came over and pulled them down.
"My wife and the Fourth Young Master haven't had breakfast yet," Mrs. Yang said. "When the time comes, ask the kitchen to prepare a table of food quickly, so that the Fourth Young Master can study after being full."
"Let's skip this meal!" Zhang Ma said, "Let's talk about it at lunch."
After everyone dispersed, they all discussed in private, whether a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Wen Mingqian will No matter how powerless she is, she is still the mistress of this house after all. Those two girls are so indifferent, and even now Aunt Song can't protect them.
"As expected, they finally had an attack." Mrs. Yang helped Mrs. Song walk back, "But I thought that the old guy named Zhang couldn't help it on the first day. Who would have thought that he had an attack today. "
"That Mrs. Zhang is both rough and fine," Ms. Song said with a chuckle, "If she had an attack on the first day, she would at most scold those two girls, and naturally she would not dare to do it in the future. So blatant.
They didn’t say anything at first, just to make people more and more arrogant, so as to act as a warning.”
“The little lady said this, Indeed." Mrs. Yang nodded, "Are we really going to sell those two girls?"
"Of course we want to sell them." The smile on Mrs. Song's face deepened, "Not only do we want to sell them, We need to sell it with great fanfare so that everyone will know the majesty of our wife.”
Mrs. Yang understood immediately, clapped her hands and said: "Wonderful, wonderful! What the young lady said is really reasonable."
"In addition, arrange two more maids to serve." Mrs. Song said, "This time we should send You have to know in your mind what kind of people you want to go to. "
"Old slave knows that you should send someone who is smart and loyal." She emphasized the word "loyalty".
