home in the end

Chapter 170 Punishment
"Why are you kicked out? I think you know it in your heart, and the people below should know it too, right? If you don't know, I don't mind teaching you!"

All of them knelt down immediately, and Liang Yimei didn't ask them to get up. She put down the teacup gently, and said with a smile on her lips, "I told you my rules when I first entered the mansion, but after only three months, you put them down. It has fallen on deaf ears, and my Liang family dare not use such a person."

"Now, I will repeat my rules again. If you do something wrong or fail to fulfill your duties, I will fine you money. Remember, it is not a monthly fine, but a fine of money. If you are not convinced, you don't have to do it here. , I have taken the fine money, I can sell you again, you can find another job, I can’t afford the heavy ones, so I will sell them all, and anyone who breaks the law will be sent to the yamen for punishment.”

"Our Liang family is not a famous family. We don't like lynching like beating boards. Think about it now. If you can do it, you can stay. If you can't do it, you can go with Ren Yazi."

The bound person whimpered, and the people below lowered their heads even lower, but they didn't say a word. Liang Yimei sneered, with a cold look in her eyes, "I thought I wouldn't dare to sell you all out!" ?” She turned her head to Uncle Qin and said, “Tell Ren Yazi to come in, except for the people brought from Quanzhou and A Li who followed me and Yan Qing who is beside the young master, sell all of them!”

The people below raised their heads in a jerk, and Chef Gu even knelt and climbed a few steps, kowtowed and said: "Miss, the servant is willing to stay, please forgive me." She kowtowed her head as she spoke.

Liang Yimei said with a sarcasm, "It's late!"

Liang Yimei nodded to Uncle Qin, and people from outside rushed in and tied up the rest.

Liang Yimei heard people shouting: "Miss is going to kill everyone like this, isn't she afraid of thunder and thunder?"

Uncle Qin's complexion changed, he took a step forward and pulled out the man, looked at the young lady's gesture, Liang Yimei looked at her and smiled and said: "According to the "Law of the Great Zhou", if a house slave tries to murder his master, the serious one will be sentenced to exile, and the light one will be punished with a stick." Twenty, take me to prison! You cursed me in front of so many people, and it counts as an 'attempt to murder the master', don't worry, I'll send someone to take you to the Yamen later!"

That person suddenly collapsed on the ground, and the rest of the people were also dumbfounded, not daring to resist anymore!

Liang Yimei looked at them and laughed and said: "Don't worry, if I did nothing wrong, I won't trouble you for no reason... In fact, I'm also blaming you. I didn't want to take care of it at first, I just focused on learning. Follow the rules, but you want to challenge my bottom line, I let you one foot, but you have to advance one foot, if you don't take into account that the young master is about to leave home, and don't want him to worry about these bad things..."

The expressions of the people below suddenly changed, knowing that the young lady had been enduring it all this time, and thinking about it, they were even more angry, and despair was revealed in their eyes.

Liang Yimei signaled to Uncle Qin, and Uncle Qin went out to fetch the Ren Yazi he brought, even if Ren Yazi was used to walking in big houses, she was startled by so many people in the meeting hall, she glanced carefully The people on the seat just watch their noses with their eyes, and listen to their orders with their noses and hearts.

Liang Yimei was not good at these things, and gave the full power to Uncle Qin to manage. Seeing that the people who were tied up in front had negotiated the price, and those who were tied up later were frightened. Cook was even more horrified. She was born and bred in the capital and knew Being kicked out like this, it won't be any better even if they find another family, and the Liang family is indeed good, and they won't deduct their regular money, even food and clothing are good, and there are days of rotation every month...

Chef Gu regretted taking part in their affairs, she turned her head and saw Zhou Quan's family standing there with all their beards, and hated in her heart that she had participated in a lot of things here, just because her man was the manager of the shop, so she couldn't help it. guilt...

Looking at the rest of the people, Uncle Qin showed embarrassment: "Miss, if you sell them, nothing will happen to Zhuangzi's replacement in the mansion. It's just that Zhuangzi went to so many people all at once. I can't find so many people to replace..."

Liang Yimei's expression was indifferent, she couldn't see anything on the surface, but hope was kindled in the bottom of her heart, and they all looked at Guanshi Qin expectantly.

"Although they are wrong, they are not going to be kicked out. It's better to send them to the Zhuangzi, and then let the nuns in the Zhuangzi teach them the rules."

Liang Yimei frowned and remained silent. After a while, when the breathing of the people below became heavy, she nodded lightly, "You can be the master. Have the people from Zhuangzi brought it here?"

"I'm already waiting outside." Uncle Qin replied with a bow.

"Let them in."

The people who came in were also pale, and their hands and feet were still trembling. They had been listening and watching outside, and they were a little afraid of the lady above.

The people who were tied up felt a little sad. At first, they thought that if the young lady sent them all out, the house would not be able to cope with it, so they still had a glimmer of hope, but looking at this, it turns out that the young lady had already prepared for it!

The next thing is the matter of the inner court, Uncle Qin led Ren Yazi and the betrayed person down.

Liang Yimei looked at Aunt Zhao, and said: "You are in charge of the inner court, but you can't manage the inner court well, so you should be punished, and you will be fined ten taels of silver. If this happens again, I will dismiss you. "

Both Aunt Zhao and A Tao breathed a sigh of relief, this punishment is already considered light, and the mother's monthly allowance is only two taels of silver, but it is only a five-month monthly allowance. reward……

Zhou Quan's family was secretly happy. As soon as the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, they felt a cold gaze looking at her. She followed her and saw the lady in the seat looking at her coldly.

Her heart suddenly turned pale, and then she thought that her husband was still in charge of Fu Ya Ge, and the young lady wanted to give him face, but just after thinking about it, she heard the young lady coldly say: "I think Zhou's family is still suitable for staying. In Zhuangzi, Aunt Zhao, you can send her there together."

Surprised, Zhou's family looked up at Liang Yimei in a daze, but Liang Yimei had already looked away.

Zhou Quan's family only felt cold all over, while others felt relieved when they saw her like this. The previous resentment towards Liang Yimei disappeared, and Zhou Quan's family's dependents were all punished.

Liang Yimei looked at the sky, and it was already past lunch time, so she turned to Aunt Zhao and said, "You can make arrangements for these people." She took A Tao, A Li and others to the kitchen.

When the mansion was first established, there was Shang Zhiqing to help them. The people they bought were also good and bad, and the time was short. Before Liang Yimei had time to examine their character, things happened one after another. Liang Yimei almost put all her energy on In terms of external affairs, when Liang Yimei found out, she didn't have much patience to teach them little by little, so she asked Uncle Qin to go out and select some other people. With the help of Chen and Shen, most of the people selected this time were good. Send them to Zhuangzi and ask the mother to teach them.

When Liang Yimei fled back from the Northland, they had almost learned the rules. Originally, Liang Yimei didn't want to replace these people in the mansion, she just wanted to send them to Zhuangzi, but the rumors these days made her angry Big, remembering that if she gets married, there will be no one in charge in the inner courtyard, and the fifth grandma is a soft-hearted person, and she doesn't care about things at ordinary times. She is afraid that they will hinder Liang Yilin, so she just wants to be a deterrent, at least after she leaves. , They have scruples in their hearts, and they dare not go too far!

The positions of these people have been fixed long ago, and they also do their own jobs in Zhuangzi, so it is not difficult to get started. Aunt Zhao just follows Liang Yimei's arrangement.

Grandpa Fifth and Grandma Fifth didn't feel much about the change of servants, as long as it didn't affect their lives, Grandma Fifth followed Grandpa Fifth's suggestion and stopped meddling in the Liang family's affairs.

In addition to going to the next door to play the horse crane, it is to take care of the vegetable garden in the backyard.Grandpa Fifth and Grandma Fifth really couldn't bear the feeling of not working, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet when they were free.Liang Yilin ordered someone to open a vegetable garden for them in the backyard and take care of them, and told the people around him not to make them tired.

When Chen Shi and Shen Shi came back, they naturally found that most of the people in the mansion had changed, but neither of them asked, but Chen Shi frowned slightly, seeing Liang Yimei calm and calm, remembering that her husband had said about this younger sister My heart is full of ups and downs, even in Quanzhou back then, my husband regretted that she was not a man, so he no longer took it to heart, and only concentrated on teaching her to behave.

The people in the house trembled for a while, seeing that the lady was smiling all day long, and felt even more uneasy, so A Tao gradually taught the new little maid who was sent to her side, "...as long as you obey the rules, the lady will not embarrass everyone Speaking of which, I don’t know how much better the young lady is than other families. Apart from other things, the young lady never beats and scolds the servants...you should be more content.”

These words spread through the mouths of the little maids, and those maids were relieved, and they were more devoted to their work.It's just that those women who have been around for a long time smiled bitterly in their hearts, "Miss does not beat and scold servants, but if something goes wrong, she will be kicked out. It only takes a while to beat and scold. They are rough and thick, what are they afraid of? But Throwing him out... What is the situation outside but his eyes are darkened, and if he goes out again, it is still unclear whether he will survive!

It may be that they have scruples, these women are more cautious than the little maids, which saves Liang Yimei a lot of work.

Uncle Qin asked Liang Yimei to talk about Guanshi Zhou, "...he came from Quanzhou with us, and the whole family is in our hands. At the beginning, I fell in love with him because he was smart and flexible. "Uncle Qin said bitterly: "Who would have thought that he is too clever and has too many thoughts, and Fu Ya Ge is such an important place, I'm afraid..."

Liang Yimei put down the teacup and said: "Those with a lot of thought will be of great use if they use it right. We have treated him too well these days, so you can beat him. This time, you can tell him about Zhou Quan's family." In the end, if I don’t look at his face, I can sell their whole family, and his wife made a mess of my inner courtyard, but this punishment is still too light for me.”

"Now Fu Ya Ge is at a critical time. Isn't the supply of goods in Baoding stable? Transfer him there, and you come back to preside over Fu Ya Ge in person, and then go out to find some capable managers... first get rid of his temper talk later."

Uncle Qin bowed and said yes.
