Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 147

The servants of the Zhou family gathered together, chatting privately in twos and threes.

"Why did Miss suddenly call everyone here? Did something happen?"

"I don't know, could it be that someone made a mistake?"

"No, it seems that something happened to the master!"

"Master?" Someone exclaimed, and the person next to him immediately reached out and covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down, don't you think about it?"

However, the exclamation was still heard by the people around, you passed it on to me, I passed it on to you, it spread in twos and threes, and everyone's faces became panicked.

Something happened to the master, as servants of the Zhou family, they wouldn't be in bad luck too, would they?
"Quiet me!" Wang Quan shouted loudly.

The chattering stopped immediately, but everyone was still exchanging glances with the people next to them in panic. Wang Quan wanted to speak again, and Yi Jia made a gesture of pressing his hand at him.

"Is everyone here?" She asked Wang Quan in a low voice.

Wang Quan looked at the crowd, then at the little steward beside him, and nodded towards Yijia, "It's all here."

Yijia nodded slightly.

"Master something happened." As soon as she spoke, the quiet crowd erupted again.

Yijia didn't speak, and let them whisper.Everyone was inquiring, guessing, and afraid, but slowly, they looked at the girl standing on the high place, her eyes were calm, her expression was calm, and she didn't look afraid or worried at all. Everyone was confused, and they slowly stopped. mouthed.

Everyone knows how much the master loves the second miss. If the master is really in danger, the second miss will not be so calm.

So, even if something happened, it's not serious, right?

Someone boldly spoke up, "Second Miss, what happened to Master?"

Yijia calmly told the truth, "The grandson of Mr. Kang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was found to have cheated in the imperial examination, and the master was involved in it. Therefore, together with Mr. Kang, he was taken into custody by Dali Temple."

As soon as he said a word, there was an uproar everywhere.

This is not a small crime. If it is not done well, it will implicate the family, but it will implicate the whole family.Then these servants of myself did not end well.

Looking at the scene below, Wang Quan couldn't help being anxious, and the second lady was too. She didn't hide such a thing, and if she said it now, wouldn't this just cause confusion?

"Shut up!" he yelled again.

The housekeeper and Miss Master are all here, and no matter how many words they have in their hearts, they have no choice but to hold back.

Yijia looked at the crowd and said calmly: "I know that many of you are afraid and worried at the moment, wondering if you will be implicated. Then let me tell you now, if anyone wants to leave Zhou's house, you can go and tell the housekeeper With a word, you can leave after paying this month's monthly payment. As for the contract of sale, it will be returned to you as it is."

Some of the servants of Zhou's West Mansion are old people who followed from Hangzhou Mansion, and some were newly bought after they came to Beijing.What Yijia took over before was only the inner courtyard and some stewards, and Wang Quan, the steward, was arranged.But the West Mansion is not small, and naturally there are many servants everywhere. There are many sons and daughters of the elderly who came from the Hangzhou Mansion, who were arranged by Mrs. Ran, and it was not convenient for Yijia to drive them all out.

The matter with her father this time was big or small. With Liang Mingzhi's guarantee, she felt a little more at ease, but she was very worried about her aunt's health.Although Ran's family has been locked up now, and even people are a little confused, she can't guarantee that these people will do nothing, let alone Zhou Xuan who keeps himself locked up all day.He has a dark heart, now that he is finished, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the opportunity of his father's arrest to incite his servants to make trouble.

If someone said something in my aunt's ear, if she got angry, it would be too late.It's better to take this opportunity to drive away all the people who were inserted by Ran's at that time.

"Second miss, master, this is..." someone asked.

The person who asked the question was not the old man from Hangzhou Mansion, but Ran's son who was married to Zhuangtou as a dowry. This man was very embarrassing in front of Ran's previous life, and Yijia recognized him at a glance.Unexpectedly, everything changed after he was reborn, and he also came to Xifu to work as an errand.

She said lightly: "I don't know what happened to the master. Whether you will be imprisoned and your family and servants will be implicated, or you will be safe and come back soon. I don't know about this, and neither does my mother. If you want to leave, Zhou The family will not stay, and if you want to stay, the Zhou family will not drive you away. It is up to you to decide whether to leave or stay. But if you leave, the Zhou family will definitely not want you when you come back. If you don’t leave, no matter what day the Zhou family comes No matter what, it will not be treated badly."

It sounds so good, but it's just empty talk!

I don't know what, I'm afraid the master has really done something bad, if such a thing happened to the master, the whole family or even the whole clan will definitely be implicated, and when the time comes, these servants will definitely not be able to escape.They are not from the Zhou family, so why should they be unlucky together.

Go, you can get the monthly bill, you can get the deed of sale, why don't you go?
The person who asked the question stood up first, and then one after another, Wang Quan's face became paler and paler.In the end, half of the people stood up.

In addition to the people who were inserted by Ran's family, there are also some people who bought after arriving in the capital, and they all want to leave when they are in trouble.

Yijia's expression remained unchanged, and she ordered Wang Quan and the accountant to help settle the monthly bill.Then he asked Xuezhu to go to Zhou Chengyan's study to find out the deeds of prostitution of these servants and hand them out to them one by one.In a blink of an eye, these people went back to pack their things and left Zhou's West Mansion.

Looking at the remaining half of the people, Yijia said: "For those of you who stay, my Zhou family will remember your affection. From today onwards, each person's monthly allowance will be doubled."

Although it was exciting and good news, although everyone had a little smile on their faces, they were not really happy.

If they don't leave, some of them really appreciate Zhou Chengyan's kindness and voluntarily stay.They were worried about Zhou Chengyan. Even though the monthly order was added at this time, they couldn't be happy.

There are also some, because they don't know where to go when they go out, and after all, there is only a possibility that something will happen to the Zhou family.If there is no accident, if you take this gamble, you don't know that it will not be a blessing in the future.

Yijia doesn't care if they are happy or not, as long as those black sheep are driven away, she can control the others.

"My mother is pregnant, and I don't know the news about my father for the time being. From now on, you are not allowed to spread outside news, you are not allowed to gossip in private, and you are not allowed to talk about your father's affairs in front of your mother. If anyone dares not listen to me , pass the news in, then the whole family will no longer have to stay at Zhou's house, and each person will sell all [-] boards!" To the rest of the people, Yijia said with a serious expression.

Now that they have decided to stay, everyone will naturally have no other ideas.The wife's pregnancy is not good, if she is really stimulated by the matter of the master, maybe the young master will really be in danger.

They believed that the master would come back safely, and if the master came back and found something wrong with the young master, they would definitely not let them go.

Everyone nodded and promised.

Yijia had achieved her goal, so she told them to break up first.Then he looked at Wang Quan who was walking back and forth in a hurry, "Steward Wang, if you want to leave, just go to the accountant to get the monthly bill. I'll ask Xue Zhu to find the contract for you."

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Wang Quan hurriedly denied, "I'm just worried that the news of what will happen to the master has not yet come back. If you drive these people away, if the master returns soon , What did they say outside, gossip, but it is not good for the master."

"But at this moment, mother's body is more important." Yijia didn't know this, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, so she can only do this.

Seeing her like this, Wang Quan nodded helplessly, it was indeed so.

If there is good or bad between the wife and the young master, that will be a big deal.

"Then Miss, go and ask Mr. Liang first to see what's going on with the master. The younger one will go down first and see how the manpower is arranged." With so many people leaving at once, the remaining people's errands must be carefully arranged. Just a click.

Yijia hurried to the study room, Liang Mingzhi had already washed up roughly, although he still looked dusty, he looked much more energetic.

"Is everything settled?" Liang Mingzhi asked.

Yijia nodded, and didn't bother to ask him where he came from, and asked Zhou Chengyan directly, "What's the matter with my father? And Mr. Kang, and Kang Qikun, did he really cheat in the imperial examination? "

Seeing that there was no one at the door, Liang Mingzhi pulled Yijia to the inside, opened the window again, and after observing the surroundings, he said in a low voice: "I can't tell you more about the Kang family. There are too many problems and people. But don’t worry about your father. The root of this incident is the old man of the Kang family. Your father was taken in because he was his student. He was wronged, and the matter will be investigated soon. , he'll be fine."

"But just now Bai Lu came back to deliver the news that my father was arrested by people from Dali Temple. Is he really okay?" Thinking of this, Yi Jia was still worried.

There are many unjust cases throughout the ages, what if my father...

Liang Mingzhi couldn't bear to see her worrying like this, thought for a while, and continued: "Don't worry, your father also knows about this matter, but he just got the news temporarily, so he hasn't had time to explain you and you. Mother."

"Does father know too?" Yijia was astonished, but after being surprised, her heart settled down.

If father also knew, then this time there must be no danger.

"Then when can I visit my father?" she asked again.

"Not for the time being." Liang Mingzhi said: "Not only can't go to see him, but you'd better not leave the mansion, let alone let the outside news reach your mother's ears. But you can go to the East mansion to find your uncle For help, you can also write to Princess Chengmin."

"He can't help his father, and he won't help." Yijia said.

Liang Mingzhi said: "I know. But you're just a 13-year-old girl. When you encounter such a thing, how do you know if he can help, will he help?"

Is this for outsiders to see?
Yijia nodded, "Okay, I'll go."
