Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 28 Changes in People's Minds (3)

Shen Yuechen looked at the broken tea bowls scattered on the ground, and felt it was a pity. The pair of pastel plum tea bowls with tangled branches were just given to her by the old lady a few days ago, and she has never used them.

Cui Xin was just about to prepare tea for the lady, Chun'e took it upon herself to find out the pair of tea bowls and asked her to wash them before using them.

Cuixin was well aware of Shen Yuechen's habits, knowing that she usually only likes to drink tea from a white porcelain tea bowl, so she was a little hesitant, but Chun'e took the opportunity to push her on the back, causing her to trip over the corner of her skirt and accidentally dropped the tea bowl. It was broken.

Even so, Cui Xin couldn't tell what happened, she lowered her head to pick up the debris on the ground, almost crying out of anxiety.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen frowned and said, "Clean up everything carefully."

Chun'e, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to watch the excitement, was a little surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's a pity, what a pity, if the old lady asks later, what should the young lady do? Cuixin is too clumsy." some."

Shen Yuechen glanced at Chun'e lightly, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes, and said to Cui Xin, "I'm used to using celadon tea bowls, and you know it. It's very good, why did you take out the things that the old lady gave you?" Ruin?"

Cui Xin raised her head, choked with sobs and said, "Naturally, this servant is aware of Miss's habits... But Sister Chun'e insists on taking out this tea bowl... She said it was to avoid spoiling the old lady's wishes."

Chun'e immediately became a little anxious: "You girl, you are so dishonest in front of the young lady. When did I say that I have to take it out? You obviously took it out yourself. Why do you have to rely on me?"

Although Chunhui looks honest, he is on the side with Chun'e, so naturally he won't talk to Cuixin.

At this time, Chun Ming became a good person, squatting down to help Cui Xin clean up the mess, while persuading softly: "Miss, don't be angry, sister Cui Xin is also curious for a while, and she will lose her hand if she is not careful..."

Shen Yuechen originally thought that they were all called by the old lady, so she couldn't blame her, but now, seeing how they were colluding to squeeze Cuixin, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Come and stand up, all of you. Taking advantage of what's going on today, I happen to have something to say."

Shen Yuechen called them together, and murmured slightly: "Now, you are all in my house, and in the future, you will naturally be prosperous with me, and you will suffer with me. I usually don't ask much. If you like peace and quiet, you just have to do your part. What happened just now is indeed Cui Xin’s fault, but Chun’e and Chun Hui are also at fault. Since you know that the tea bowl is expensive, why didn’t you tell her carefully Be careful, or, why don't you handle it yourself, why do you have to wait until the wrong thing is done before you speak out? People are not in harmony, and such wrong things will inevitably happen in the future." Speaking of this, Shen Yuechen's eyes The light swept over Chun'e's pale face, and continued: "Remember, my rules here are to punish together and reward together. From now on, if one of you makes a mistake, it is all of you who make a mistake together." Made a mistake. Cui Xin broke the tea bowl today, so of course she should be punished, and the three of you should also be punished with her, and you are not allowed to eat lunch or dinner today."

Shen Yuechen doesn't like to do this kind of thing to punish slaves, but sometimes she has to do it.

As soon as she spoke, even though Chunming and Chun'e were unwilling, they could only bow their knees in aggrieved way: "Your servant knows your mistake."

Shen Yuechen glanced at the people who bowed their heads and said nothing, and then told Cui Xin: "Sweep the broken porcelain first, don't touch it with your hands, tie it carefully." In his tone, there was no intention of reproach, but more Somewhat concerned.

Although Cuixin is young, she never hesitates in her work. When she was in Nanpianyuan, she always took over the laborious work of washing and carrying water, and she was very capable.

Shen Yuechen knew in her heart that the teacup incident was caused by Chun'e on purpose, so she punished them all together, in order to let them know that they should not think that they are called by the old lady, so they can cause trouble without any scruples.A servant is a servant, no matter how powerful and favored he is, he cannot surpass his master.

As expected, Shen Yuechen did what he said, during lunch and dinner, he didn't even reward them with a mouthful of porridge.

It's the dog days right now, and it's so hot that if you move your body a little, you'll be hot and sweaty, and you can't stand hunger most of all.Not eating lunch has already made them all wilt, and not having dinner will make them even more hungry.After being hungry for a day, the degree of discomfort is no less than that of punishing kneeling.

Wu Ma seldom saw Shen Yuechen so serious, she thought she was really angry, and wanted to say something nice for Cui Xin, but she smiled slightly, and still called Cui Xin to watch the night, as if she was not angry.

It was late at night, and Shen Yuechen was sitting in front of the window to enjoy the cool, and he still didn't feel sleepy for a while. The windows in the west wing room were remodeled. The windows were huge, and the ventilation was smooth. Putting on the window screen will make the room airtight.

Cui Xin sat beside her quietly doing needlework, and occasionally raised her head to look at Shen Yuechen, taking a closer look at the expression on her face.

Shen Yuechen looked at the new moon in the sky, lost his mind for a while, then got up and walked to the bedside to sit down, looked at Cui Xin who was doing needlework, and asked softly: "Are you hungry during the day?"

Hearing this, Cui Xin raised her head and looked at her, bit her lips, shook her head, and said honestly: "Actually, no... During lunch, Wu Ma quietly gave the servant two pancakes to eat..."

Shen Yuechen listened, smiled faintly, saw that she was looking at him with pitiful eyes, and said: "I know that you are not at fault for what happened during the day. However, speaking of it, you were not careful enough to allow others to take advantage of you. So, It should be punished."

Cui Xin nodded, put down her needlework, stood up and walked to Shen Yuechen, bowed her knees and said: "This servant is stupid, always makes Miss worry..."

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Today's incident is a lesson. As the saying goes: You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

Cui Xin pursed her lips, feeling confused, she lowered her voice, and asked, "I don't understand... everyone is your slave, Miss, why do they still target slaves everywhere?"

Shen Yuechen patted Cuixin on the head: "Because you are an old man by my side, and if they want to climb up, they naturally have to step on you."

Cui Xin was young and simple-minded, she listened ignorantly, but she just understood in her heart, the lady was reminding herself, and then said: "Miss, the slaves have kept it in their hearts, and must be careful in the future, and don't let others Bully it casually, and make you lose face, miss."

Shen Yuechen lay on the bed with his clothes on, eyes closed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's good if you can remember. If you want to eat the snacks on the table, you can eat them."

The next morning, Chun Ming and others, who had been hungry for a whole day and night, went to serve Shen Yuechen as usual, and all of them carefully watched her winks and acted, no longer eager to perform as before.

Chun Ming is the oldest of the three, and she thinks the most in her heart. She originally thought that the eldest lady was a good old man with no temper, but she didn't expect that she also had a sharp and merciless side.

Today's breakfast was prepared by Wu Ma, the dishes were exquisite and light in taste, and Shen Yuechen was very fragrant, while Chun Ming and the others standing behind her showed a salivating expression on their faces.

After breakfast, Shen Yuechen went to the old lady's room, and as soon as she entered the door, she smelled a pungent milky fragrance.

Shen Mingfang is now in front of the old lady, like the stars holding the moon, but twisting her body, pouted her mouth, moaning and pushing the spoon that Nanny Li gave her, as if she was about to cry.

Shen Yuechen stepped forward slowly, looked at the mutton meat in Nanny Li's bowl, frowned slightly, and felt disgusted by the smell herself.

Shen Mingfang has always had the problem of picky eaters, all because Xiao has been raising him too carefully.

Shen Yuechen greeted the old lady first, then looked at pouting Shen Mingfang, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Brother Fang? You pouted so early in the morning that you could hang a soy sauce bottle on it."

The old lady was amused by her words, she let go of Shen Mingfang's little hand, and said with a half-sigh: "He didn't eat much for breakfast, so he ordered the kitchen to warm up mutton meat for him, but he got stuck again. "

Seeing Shen Yuechen coming, Shen Mingfang stretched out her short legs and got off the bed, walked straight up to her, and said with an aggrieved face, "Hug me, cousin."

Shen Yuechen was thin and weak, it took a lot of effort to lift him up, but he couldn't stand still, so he had to sit on the stool, and then put him on his lap.

Shen Mingfang nestled in her arms like a clingy little monkey, while smelling the sandalwood scent from her elder sister, while staring at the steaming goat's milk in Mammy Li's hand, her face was full of displeasure.

Although he usually likes to be clingy and coquettish, he is especially good at looking at people. Only when he is with the old lady will he make a lot of trouble. If he is in front of Mrs. Xiao, he will definitely not dare to do this.

Shen Mingfang raised her head, looking at Shen Yuechen with big watery eyes, as if she was waiting for her to speak for herself with a soft heart.

Shen Yuechen did not follow him, and went to pick up the lamb in Li Nanny's hand with a smile: "Brother Fang is obedient, children who are not picky eaters will grow taller in the future."

Shen Mingfang still shook her head, still refusing.

Shen Yuechen rolled his eyes, and simply scooped up a spoon and blew it, drank it into his mouth, savored the taste carefully: "Well, it's so fragrant and sweet! Such a delicious thing, it would be a pity not to taste it." After speaking, he scooped up another spoonful and tasted it beautifully.

Shen Mingfang was still unmoved at first, but when Shen Yuechen drank the third spoonful, he couldn't sit still, and looked helplessly at the half bowl of goat's milk left, and suddenly said softly: "Give it to me too." I'll take a sip..."

Shen Yuechen smiled when he heard the words, quickly scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth, and said softly: "Brother Fang, if you drink all this bowl of goat milk, sister will draw a big carp, okay?"

Shen Mingfang looked up at her and nodded happily, and drank three mouthfuls of goat milk in a row, looking very satisfied.

The old lady sat and looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You still have a way, and you can clean up this troublesome thing in a few moments."
