The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 379

Strange?There's nothing strange about this, it's nothing more than finding a new backer.

Besides, since the death of the old lady, the Cui Qing family's situation in the Cui family has been very embarrassing. It cannot be said that other members of the Cui family treated or abused them, but that their family was directly ignored.

The servants did not flatter the high and trample the low, and served the masters of the Hepu Courtyard as usual, but they only stopped at 'rules'.

After a long time, everyone in Hepuyuan felt that they were not the master of the Cui family, but the guests of the Cui family, and they were very uncomfortable in daily life.

Cui Qing and Cui Sibo are very shrewd people, they are very aware of their current situation, and they also understand that it will be a matter of time before their family is exiled by the Cui family.

Since they were going to leave Cui's house sooner or later, why didn't they find a suitable time to take the initiative to talk to the old man about breaking up the family, so as to strive for greater benefits for themselves?
Cui Qing was kicked out of the Cui family when he was young. He didn't have any sense of belonging to the family. Back then, he used tricks to return to the Cui family, mainly to give Cui Sibo a serious identity. After all, the princess of Nanping said at that time that she only married Bo The son of Ling Cui, the son of the direct branch.

In order to be able to marry a noble daughter with a prominent background, and to ensure a good future for his son, Cui Qing will cooperate with Sanji Cui's family.

Now that Cui Sibo and Nanping have reconciled, his reputation is also bad. Even if he uses the Cui family's signboard, it is difficult to find a good marriage. After repeated consideration, he decided to strike first in order to seize the initiative.It's better than being kicked out of the house by the old man. You won't get any benefits, right? !
Xiao Nan didn't speak, just smiled lightly, her attitude was very clear, the Cui family had already split up, as long as it wasn't a major matter of ransacking the family and exterminating the family, she would never interfere with the housework next door.

However, she didn't want to leave Wang Shi alone like this, so she said casually: "Perhaps Mr. Shi Lang has other plans."

Wang Shi is not a person who does not wink, she sees Xiao Nan's expression is indifferent, so she can't continue talking about this topic.

As if to cover up, Wang took a sip of tea soup from the cup and praised casually: "Good tea!"

Xiao Nandao: "My aunt ordered someone to bring this tea, if the sister-in-law likes it, I will pack a few pieces for you later."

The corner of Wang's mouth curled up, and he said jokingly, "That's very nice, hehe, I'm not welcome."

While talking and laughing, her eyes swept across the hall without any trace. Wang saw a blueprint spread out beside the honorable seat, which seemed to be the garden map of Rongshou Hall. Does the church really want to do a lot of construction and expand the courtyard? !

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang deliberately changed the subject, as if talking about family affairs, gossiping: "...the children are growing up, and they are about to move out of the inner courtyard. Cleaning up the yard, and picking out maids and servants for them..."

Wang paused for a moment, took a peek at Xiao Nan's expression, and said, "Speaking of slaves, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, a playful look flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "My sister-in-law just said you're welcome, why is she treating me like an outsider now? Hehe, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Mrs. Wang put down the teacup, "Since my brother and sister said so, I'll just say it straight. That's right, when the old man and the old lady negotiated the separation of the family, they only divided the ancestral house and the property, and did not unify the slaves and maidservants in the family." Divide..."

Xiao Nan was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that at that time, the slaves and maids in the family belonged to the property of the master, and when the family was divided, the slaves and maids also needed to be divided.

When the old lady set up three halls to divide the family, she only divided them in general, and did not specify a certain detail.

After Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan adopted into Rongshou Hall, they didn't care, and continued to live according to the old lady's old rules.

The servants in the family are composed of three parts: one is the old lady who has been used to for many years and their descendants, the other is the servants brought by Xiao Nan from her natal family, and the third is Cui Youbo's book boys and servants.

Among these three parts, Xiao Nan brought the most people from his natal family, while Cui Youbo brought the least people from Rongkang Hall, and most of them were alone, not the whole family.

Suddenly hearing Wang's mention of slaves, Xiao Nan couldn't help guessing, is it true that Rongkangtang really wants to separate the family again, and solve the problems left over from history together?
Actually, Xiao Nan didn't like to use the Cui family's servants. The Cui family's three siblings had been in business for 70 to [-] years.

These house slaves are distributed in every corner of the Cui family. They marry each other and make friends with each other, forming a huge network of relationships in the Cui family.

Regardless of their humble status, they are quite a force. After decades of operation, they have also spawned several respectable big servants, such as Cui Zhong, the chief steward of Rongkang Hall, and the chief steward of Rong An Hall. Yang Cheng, Cui Yi, the big housekeeper of Rongshou Hall, and others, they were slaves in the Cui family, but when they went out, they were also lords who called slaves and maidservants, and they were even more respectable than some low-level officials.

Even those domestic slaves who failed to be in charge should not be underestimated. They have lived in the Cui family all their lives, and their in-laws and friends may also be inconspicuous little maids and servants. , the business is extremely skilled, and of course there is no shortage of pretty maids who are eager to climb into the bed of the master, such as A Jin and Fu Rong, who are all domestic slaves, and they are all restless.

Xiao Nan had suffered from house slaves, so she didn't like, let alone reuse the Cui family's house slaves.

She was thinking on her side, while Wang's side was still talking: "I didn't think of it at first, but my third uncle and grandmother mentioned it occasionally, saying that the little man and the little lady in the family are getting bigger, and the people around me are getting older. There should be more slaves and maids, and I want to transfer some young girls from the family slaves to make up for it... I just remembered that most of the slaves and maids in the family have their titles with me. Alas, I was wronged because of my lack of thoughtfulness. Rong'an Hall and your Rongshou Hall..."

Xiao Nan's mouth twitched when she heard this, she really wanted to say, no wronged, not wronged at all, we don't want any of those house slaves.

Seemingly Wang didn't see Xiao Nan's expression, she picked up a red sandalwood flat square box from her side, put it on the small table, and said: "Here are the family deeds of servants and maids from 25 families, a total of 130 seven people, ten of them The children who come to the family are all working in the Rongshoutang, in order not to break up the family, I discussed with the old man, and then I thought about distributing this part of the family slaves to the Rongshoutang, brothers and sisters, please check and accept."

More than 100 people?Wang is really generous.

Xiao Nan took the box pretending to be grateful, opened the lid, flipped through the deed paper, and complained in his heart: Sending so many people here, are you generous, or are you a burden?
Not to mention, Xiao Nan really guessed right this time, Wang's move is indeed throwing away the burden. The Cui family has a total of 500 household slaves registered, but 300 of them are in Rongkang Hall, which is partial to Rongkang. The hall simply cannot accommodate so many slaves, so many people are crowded in the back street, arguing endlessly over trivial matters all day long, which will affect the stability and unity of the master's house after a long time.

Looking at the two halls on the left and right, there are many masters in such a big place, but there are not many families with slaves in the courtyard, which is in stark contrast with our own house, which is too, too unbalanced.

In the past, when the family was not separated, the Wang family would not say anything. The left and right were all the money from the public. The Rongkang Hall used dozens of servants and maids, and she was not the one who paid the bills.

But it's different now, once the old lady left, the three halls were separated, and all the money and money went to their respective accounts. In the first one or two years, Wang didn't feel anything, but starting this year, Wang felt that money was a little tight.

A few days ago, she abolished thirty or forty redundant servants, but, but the family members of these servants ran to the door crying and begging for mercy, which made her very upset.

It just so happened that at this time, she heard that Sifang wanted to divide the family, and Yao Shi secretly planned to take away the slaves when the family was divided, so Wang suddenly thought that she could divide the slaves in the back street to the left and right halls.

Yesterday, Mrs. Wang went to visit Mrs. Liu, the second old lady, and successfully separated eighty or ninety people.Not only did she get rid of the burden, but she was also praised by the old man and the second old lady, which made Wang very happy.

So, Wang Shi came to look for Xiao Nan again today.

Although he was very reluctant, but what Wang said was well-founded, Xiao Nan had no choice but to hold his nose and accept the more than 100 people.

Sending Wang away, Xiao Nan looked at the red sandalwood box and smiled wryly: "Well, it's not enough if we don't expand the yard this time."

At noon, Yuan Yuanwailang went back. Before leaving, he patted his chest and promised that new drawings would be delivered tomorrow, and he also actively recommended several craftsmen with good craftsmanship.

Cui Yizheng was worried that there was no craftsman he could trust, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him, took Yuan Yuanwailang's post directly, and ordered someone to find a craftsman.

In the afternoon, after taking a nap, Xiao Nan called Tie Niangzi and Yu Zhu over.

"Sister-in-law in the lobby gave me 25 households to give birth to slaves. This is the roster. You can check it."

The words sounded like they were being spoken to two people, but in fact they were mainly addressed to Iron Lady, who was also a domestic slave of the Cui family and lived in the back street of the Cui family, so she should know the slaves there better.

The iron lady understood what it meant, she hurriedly took the booklet, flipped through it carefully, and it took a full quarter of an hour before she closed the booklet and replied: "Lady, these people are honest and responsible. .”

This is the truth, if it is a top-notch person, Mrs. Wang may not be willing to let go.

Xiao Nan complained secretly, and then said to Yuzhu: "You will call these people tomorrow, and follow the old rules to re-register and compile the book. Those who made mistakes or were dishonest should be marked down in detail."

Yuzhu knew what Xiao Nan's old rules were, it was nothing more than registering the detailed information of the servants, including name, age, relative relationship such as parents, siblings, etc. And so on.

Then check them one by one according to the booklet. Some liars, those who concealed deliberately, and those with ulterior motives, according to the seriousness, were directly crossed out from the booklet and sent out of the Cui Mansion, and the whole family was sent to a remote Zhuangzi for serious cases. coolie.

Steward Yuzhu has been in charge for three or four years, and she knows exactly what the house slaves of the Cui family look like, and she believes that many people can be screened out with just the first step.

PS: June has also passed. During this period, the situation of a certain Sha is not very good, and the update is not very good, but my dear friends are still so supportive, and this Sha is really moved and ashamed.Well, next month, a certain Sa will definitely work hard, please continue to support me!
