Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 78
Du Zhong didn't know that there was a reduction in the monthly fee, so he couldn't help but look at his eldest daughter in doubt, and thought to himself: "Which one is this singing about by the eldest daughter?"

Du Heng looked at Hong Ling and the others, nodded lightly and said: "You have also told the truth, I think monthly money is extremely important to you."

Hong Ling and the others fell to their knees with a plop, and everyone scrambled to say: "Miss Shengming, slaves support their families with monthly money. Three to five hundred copper coins are nothing to girls, but to slaves, they are a family." It’s just for chewing! If these hundreds of coins are missing, the parents (children, younger siblings) of the servants’ family will starve.”

Du Heng nodded again, and said slowly: "I know what you said, five hundred Wen is enough for four people's rations for a month. Since you are required to stay in Xiyuxuan as errands, you cannot let your family members go hungry Stomach. Let’s do it this way, within three months, you will be lowered first, and I, Xi Yuxuan, will make up for the difference in the three months. If you work hard, you will be promoted back to the level you dropped, and the monthly money will still be paid out. If someone has a different opinion, not only will you not be able to get back the level, but you will also be kicked out of the house and never hired."

Hong Ling and the others thought that their income reduction was a foregone conclusion, but they never expected that the girl would be extra merciful to make up the money, and that as long as they worked hard for three months, they would be able to return to their original ranks, which really made them overjoyed , Everyone hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness. The slaves must do their jobs well and serve the girls faithfully." It's just a twisted mind.Speaking of which, being a servant should be like this. If you don't have the word of loyalty, it will be difficult to be a servant for a long time.

Du Zhong saw that the girl had beaten Enwei and used her force, but within a short time had subdued Hongling and other 18 people, he couldn't help but secretly nodded in praise, the girl's method is really extraordinary, I didn't expect her to have such a rough place at such a young age, Du Zhong suddenly felt a sense of peace in his heart. He knew that even if he didn't protect him overtly or secretly, the girl would still have the power to protect herself.After all, he is already in his 60s this year, and he suffered a serious illness a few years ago, so he may not have a few more years to live, so he only tries his best to keep the girl safe for the rest of his life, so that when he goes underground, he will have the face to see her long gone Madame.

Just as Du Heng finished beating Hongling and the others, Mammy Liao came back with Qingfen Qinfang carrying a large basket of copper coins. Mammy Liao had a straight face, with the words "I love you and I'm unhappy" clearly written on her face Du Heng knew that Madam Liao felt sorry for the thirteen pennies, but in fact she didn't feel bad. The two masters and servants who survived the hard life know better than anyone else that a penny is difficult for a hero.Now they have ideas and family background, but they are not rich after all.But if you feel bad, you have to spend what should be spent, and you can't be reluctant. If you don't even want to spend the money for dismissal, it's hard to say.

Qingfen and Qinfang had just put the bamboo basket containing copper coins on the table, and Bi Tao and the others who went back to the residence to pack their luggage also came back. The ring is soft and so on.Because Bitao and the others have never served close to them, and they have never even entered the room, so Du Heng's masters and servants are not worried about Bitao and the others stealing any valuables, so they are not asked to open their bags for inspection. Bitao and the others queued up to receive five hundred copper coins one by one.

Bitao was the first to receive the money. She came to the girl and wanted to say something but she didn't say it. She just knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, girl, for the reward. Take care, girl." Then she stood up and stood down. Go aside and wait for Butler Du to turn around and take them out together.

The other servants also followed suit. After receiving the money and kowtowing to the girl, they stood aside. It didn't take long for a large basket of copper coins to be distributed. Although Mammy Liao felt distressed, she knew that the money was very important. It's impossible to spend, so I didn't keep a straight face when I gave out money, and I always spoke in a soft voice, and I didn't offend anyone again at the end.

Seeing that the 26 people had already received the reward, Du Zhong got up and said, "Girl, please reward the list of the 18 people, so that the old slave can go back and write down the book again." The 18 people listened to the words of the housekeeper. , everyone's heart tightened, although they knew that as long as they serve wholeheartedly, they will be promoted back to their original level in three months, but when they think of being downgraded for nothing, they still feel uncomfortable, so they can only secretly make up their minds to be good As an errand, strive to be promoted back to the original level as soon as possible.

Du Heng ordered Qingfen to deliver the list to Du Zhong, and said in a slow voice: "I'm sorry that the chief manager came here, Yang Mei, and bring the health-preserving tea prepared a few days ago to the chief housekeeper." Yang Mei responded and walked out , Du Zhong quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to be or not, it's the old slave's job, how dare you accept the girl's reward!"

Nanny Liao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, you can take it. This is the girl's wish. You can take it back and drink it in the morning and evening. Keeping it is good for your health."

Yang Mei quickly brought in a large bag of health-preserving tea, walked to Du Zhong and said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhong, this is the health-preserving tea prepared by the girl. You can brew it with boiling water for a quarter of an hour before drinking it. A small bag can drink a whole God." Du Zhong accepted it with a smile, saluted the girl repeatedly and thanked her, and then took the list and left Xiyuxuan with the 26 people.

After cleaning up, there were 22 servants of Xi Yuxuan, counting Madam Liao Yangmei Qingfen Qinfang.Mammy Liao is undoubtedly the nanny in charge, and Yang Mei is the first-class servant girl. All the servants have no objection to the arrangement of these two people. Everyone knows that Mammy Liao and Yang Mei accompanied the girl through hardships. Now that the girl's life is getting better, they should get better too.But for the newcomer Qingfen Qinfang, everyone was dissatisfied. These two little maids who were born exactly the same look pretty, but they are just people who have just entered the mansion. Waiting for the maid, which newcomer didn't wait for the maid to slowly get up from the end.

Although everyone dared not say it, they had thoughts in their hearts. Du Heng saw that they were looking at Qingfen Qinfang with jealousy, so he knew that they were not convinced, so he said loudly: "In the future, Yangmei will bring Qingfen Qinfang together. Attendant in the upper room, Hongling, you should help the nanny to manage things in the garden."

When everyone heard this, they understood in their hearts that the girl still didn't trust people like herself, and would rather let the newly bought servant girls serve close to her than let them come forward.Thinking about it carefully, it is also true that these people have not been working in the mansion for a year or two, and they always have bonds with other servants in one way or another. It is better that the little maids bought by these two girls have nothing to worry about. Serving the girl wholeheartedly, and their identity cards are held in the hands of the girl, unlike people like myself, who are kept by the mansion. Compared with these two little maids, the girl is more at ease.
