Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 508

She had dinner with Guan Yuanhe, while Granny Liu and others were already waiting outside, Hui An went into the inner room to rest for a while, and then moved out of the Ming Hall, ordering Nanny Fang to ask Granny Liu and others to come in and answer.

Mrs. Liu and the others walked in with their heads down, but their expressions were more respectful and restless than when they were in the big kitchen just now. The reason why Hui'an didn't get angry at that time was because he didn't want to disturb the dinner in the courtyards, and then disturbed Mrs. Dingguo. The heart of Mrs. Liu and others is to make them feel more uneasy because they don't know her attitude.

Now Hui An is not surprised to see their expressions like this. He picked up the tea, lifted the lid and knocked on the tea bowl, then threw the tea cup on the table with sharp eyes, stared at Mrs. Liu and said, "But I know I'm wrong." Already!"

Mrs. Liu and the others were startled when they heard the words, and felt that the cracking sound of the teacup fell directly on their hearts, but Hui An directly asked the blame without asking a word. After all, Mrs. Liu was dissatisfied. It's just that in the past few days she has been showing off in front of the subordinates. If Hui An said a word and she was subdued, and she didn't dare to say a word and let her be slaughtered, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.

Mrs. Liu drank too much wine today, and now she is a bit over the top, so when she heard Huian's accusation, she kowtowed to the ground and said: "Young Mistress wants to be held accountable, and the slaves don't dare to say more." He said, the young mistress is the master, it is right to punish the servants no matter what, and the servants should also be grateful and bear it, but the young mistress has to let the servants know what is wrong. Then they smashed the equipment in the big kitchen. The servants and servants can't compare to Miss Donger's weight in the young lady's heart, but they are all old people in the house, and the young lady is asked to take care of the servants and servants who have served the old majesty, the master and the wife for many years. Tell the servants where they are wrong."

Hui'an heard that Mrs. Liu dared to quibble, and flung her face at her because of her hard work, and said in a cold voice: "What's wrong? Huh, okay, I'll ask you carefully today, and you can tell me why Dong'er did this. If you smash the big kitchen, what if you smash it?"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Liu said: "Miss Dong'er is loved by the young mistress, and she has a big temper. It's just a trivial matter to have the young mistress take care of the big kitchen. The slaves dare not say much."

Hearing Mrs. Liu say this, Hui An glanced at the women behind her with their heads bowed, and said, "You think so too?"

Those women are much more sober than Mrs. Liu, and they just saw Hui'an's methods two days ago. Besides, Mrs. Liu is confused, and she can't challenge her master even if she wants to stand up, but they can't be confused too. Yan then hurriedly said: "The servants are wrong, the servants should not have filled their stomachs before the master eats, because there was an example of this when Aunt Hu was in charge of the big kitchen earlier, the lady is generous, the servants will kick The nose is on the face, and the self-esteem is arrogant. The slaves know that they are wrong, Miss Dong'er is the one who smashed it, young mistress, please forgive me."

The women begged for forgiveness one after another. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu was a little dazed. She glared at the women beside her who were kowtowing desperately, and when she went to look at Hui'an again, she met Hui'an's solemn gaze. Mrs. Liu froze with a shudder. got there.

Hui'an looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "I said earlier that I don't care what the rules are when Madam is a housekeeper. Since I am in charge, I should follow my rules. This is also allowed by the old lady. Earlier Fang Mammy then read out the rules of the big kitchen to everyone. Now you know that you made mistakes, and you are still quibbling when you are caught, cheating, cheating, and being lazy! Huh, I really think that the rules I set up are all Can't set it up!"

After Hui'an said, she didn't look at Mrs. Liu again, and didn't wait for her to be convinced, she just said coldly: "Mrs. Liu is arrogant and disrespectful to her master. She is dragged to the execution room to be punished with a stick for twenty. She is exempted from buying in the kitchen and takes the post of steward. Today In the big kitchen, as long as there are slaves who serve on the table, no matter who they are, they will deduct three months of monthly silver, and each will receive twenty boards, which will be paid in four installments."

After she finished speaking, some women came in and gagged the pale-faced Mrs. Liu and dragged her down. The remaining women were sweating profusely and dared not say a word.Only then did Hui An look at a plainly dressed middle-aged woman who was kneeling at the end, and said, "Of the mothers in charge of the kitchen today, only Mother Yuan has not been at the table to enjoy the meal, but is doing her duty to buy for the old lady. The ingredients, the horseshoe vegetables are not something of this season. Since the old lady wanted to eat it, Mama Yuan went out of Beijing to look for it. It was really hard work. You should learn more like Mama Yuan, and start the kitchen from now on Mama Yuan will take care of everything."

The faces of all the women changed slightly when they heard the words, that Mama Yuan was not someone else, she was the daughter-in-law of housekeeper Zhou in the front yard. Procurement of vegetables.In recent years, Cui's family has been in charge, the big kitchen has already been full of Cui's people, and because Yuan's men are powerful in the mansion, they have not been excluded, but she has always had a bad relationship with the women in the kitchen.

Although Mrs. Hu was sacked earlier, Mrs. Liu took over the big kitchen, so the women didn't panic, they just felt that it was still their own world, but now that Mrs. Yuan was in charge, wouldn't this big kitchen be the same as the big kitchen? It's like the sky has changed suddenly, how can they not be surprised.

Therefore, the women were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded, Hui'an said: "Mother Yuan stays, you all go back."

After everyone retreated, Hui'an stood up, helped Mama Yuan up herself, and said with a smile: "Mom has served by her side in the early years, so it's time for her to get up. Mom will follow me to the inner room to talk." .”

Generally, the master's inner room will not allow anyone to enter at will, except for the close-fitting maidservants and cronies. Mama Yuan was held by Hui'an, and after hearing what Hui'an said, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Young Mistress killed the servant girl. The servant girl I've been thinking of visiting Young Mistress for a long time, but Young Mistress is always busy, so the servants don't dare to disturb her rashly."

While talking, the two entered the inner room, Hui'an leaned on the Arhat bed, Dong'er put a big pillow behind her, and Hui'an asked someone to move a bed for Mama Yuan to sit down, then smiled and said: "Mom said that But no, I don't necessarily want to see other people coming, but I am happy for my mother to come, and I also want my mother to talk to me about the people and things in this house, and let me get to know the aunts and sisters as soon as possible."
