Chapter 1298 Willing to be an ugly girl 25
When she heard that this man was arrested and sent to the government, Mrs. Akiko finally felt a lot more angry: "This man dares to be greedy. Your Excellency, you cannot let him off lightly."
Even if Mrs. Lunzi cannot be touched, it is still good to touch the people she has worked for to cause harm. Let others see what happened to Mrs. Lunzi.
"That's for sure." What Fujiwara Michichiro was thinking was that he should quickly ask someone to say hello again. Under severe punishment, he would confess to anything. Don't trap Mrs. Lunzi. After asking Tan Mo how much assets she has, she should be exiled to the army or something like that. Don't ask anything else.
After receiving the letter and reading it up and down, Mr. Fujiwara praised: "Son, you are indeed smart, witty, and very understanding of reason and filial piety. You are really blessed to have given birth to a good daughter!"
"This is also a blessing for you, sir." Mrs. Akiko saluted with a smile, feeling that the suffocation in her heart was relieved a lot.
After one night, the chief steward all confessed. The government led soldiers to search, and all the land deeds and house deeds were taken to Fujiwara Residence. Fujiwara Michizhang gave the land deeds and house deeds to Mrs. Akiko, which was regarded as compensation for Tan Mo's loss. After all, Zhuangzi had given them to Mrs. Akiko before.
The outhouses that had been raised were sent away, and all the men and women were sent into exile; all the slaves and maids were sold, and the money returned to the treasury, which was an explanation to everyone.
Looking at one land deed and two house deeds, Mrs. Mingzi couldn't help but burst into tears. Her little daughter was the best, so she gave them two shops and a village and returned them. He also borrowed the help of the Taoist Master to punish the evil servant who harmed his son. Now I can rest assured that my little daughter lives outside and she can take care of herself.
At this time, the good daughter in Mrs. Akiko's heart was eating barbecue under the blooming cherry tree.
Xi Ning took a bite happily: "Well, not bad, sprinkle more salt and pepper."
"Yes, miss!" The people in the kitchen were roasting, and they were secretly amused. What an elegant thing to do, flower viewing, was turned into a barbecue party by Ms. Zunzi.
"Miss Takashi, the tuna is ready." A plate of freshly grilled tuna was brought to him.
Xining picked it up and took a bite. It was okay, but she didn't like fish very much: "Grill more pork belly."
The moderately fat and thin pork belly is what she likes the most. Wearing Tang Hu clothes and lying casually on the mat under the tree, it is so comfortable.
Seeing a group of slaves sitting on their knees, except for a group of servants with knives, eating meat and drinking sake, looking happy and enjoying themselves, the other slaves had long faces.
Xining bit off the meat on the bamboo stick in one bite and pointed with the bamboo stick: "You can eat too, no need to be restrained, everyone is free to do whatever you want."
A-Ling, who was kneeling downstairs in the wind, barely held the corner of her mouth: "Thank you very much, Miss, but I don't like eating meat."
But no, besides grilled fish, there are snacks and vegetarian dishes in front of me.
Xining immediately shouted: "Go and bake some leeks for them, put more oil on them."
"Yes, miss!" A few handfuls of leeks were placed on the hot iron plate, white smoke came out, and they made a "sizzling" sound.
Mrs. Akiko's six people also knelt and sat aside, watching Miss Takashi, who was wearing a tight long coat and "pants", eating meat like a rough warrior.
One of them really couldn't stand it anymore and asked the leader Akui softly: "Sister Akui, are you just looking at me like this?"
Aoi sat with her back to Miss Takashi. She took a sip of sake and said, "What did you see? I didn't see anything." The man was speechless for a moment, and he said he didn't see anything while sitting with his back to her. What a blind eye, who are you kidding?
Akui has her own account.
The chief steward was brought to justice, and now she is the chief steward. Moreover, Miss Zunzi said that 20% of the income from the village will be given to Mrs. Akiko, 70% will be given to Miss Zunzi, and the remaining 10% will be distributed to the people in the village. In addition, if she does a good job, she will be rewarded with 10% of the extra income than in previous years.
She checked the accounts and found that the amount of grain, rice, oil, salt, fish and meat sent to the mansion plus the amount sold and sold each year totaled 600 guan. If you include those who are greedy for ink, it may reach a thousand guan.
A first-class maid's salary is one and a half coins per month, while the lowest-class underage servant is three hundred coins.
One percent is equivalent to one hundred guans. Counting all the people in the village, there are only about fifty people in total. Twenty or thirty guans are enough to get rid of them, and they are very grateful.
If she has an income of 1,000 guan this year, which is 400 guan more than last year, wouldn't she be able to get 40 guan? If you can work for five years and earn 200 guan, you can buy more than ten acres of land and a small house; or you can buy a small shop in the capital and you can provide for your retirement.
In two days, I will find an opportunity to bring my daughter and granddaughter to show Miss Zunzi. If the granddaughter can be adopted by Miss Zunzi, she will marry a promising petty official and become his wife, and then she can become a concubine.
Aoi was selectively blind and turned her back to the big fish and meat behind her. She drank sake and ate the snacks and grilled fish in front of her as if nothing had happened. Yep, her good days had just begun. She had water in her head and she didn’t care about what Miss Zunzi ate or what she wore. Even if Miss Zunzi went to the house to unveil the tiles, she pretended not to see it.
The freshly roasted leeks came. Akui picked up some of them with her chopsticks, held up her sleeve with one hand to block them, and put the leeks in her chopsticks into her mouth. After eating it slowly, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's delicious~"
Even Mrs. Akiko has no objection to marrying a maid, so what can they say after coming later. After the five maids looked at each other, they ignored it and pretended not to see it. They just went to eat and drink and enjoy the flowers.
Xining ate and drank enough and lay down. Looking at the pink clouds all over the trees, a few petals drift down from time to time. Be comfortable, this is life, this is life.
Once the cherry blossoms bloom, they immediately enter their full bloom period. Xining allowed Akui and six other old maids to stay at Chunxi Courtyard as they pleased, while other slaves could rest under the cherry blossom tree as long as they finished their work.
So mats were spread out under the cherry blossom trees, and they even slept directly under the trees, enjoying the beautiful scenery of spring. But these servants are also very sensible and leave the best position vacant for the fifth lady.
Xining finished his lunch and wrote a few more lines, and was planning to lie down under the cherry blossom tree for a while. After a nap, have dinner, then go to a hot spring to sleep.
Just as he was about to go, someone suddenly rushed in. It was a servant with a knife guarding the door.
He couldn't wait for the maid to announce, so he knelt down on one leg and shouted loudly in front of the corridor: "Miss Takashi, it's not good, Zaemon is back."
Just come back when Zaemon comes back, why don't you put on the grill and grill some meat for him. It has been several days since I went to deliver the letter, thank you for the hard work!
"Accompanying us are the female officials invited from the palace by the Taoist Master to teach the young lady!"
"Ah?!" A Ling jumped up: "Everyone, get up, clean up quickly, go and ask the people under the tree to collect all the mats. Help the lady change clothes, open the cabinet for what? The clothes are on the shelf..."
Suddenly the room was abuzz with excitement.
