spared the two old women, which shows that people are not wrong at all, it is she who picks bones in her eggs and makes things difficult for others; listed the charges and accused the old woman who carried the water for slandering herself, obviously not allowing her to show her loyalty properly.Chen Yanyan was in a dilemma in her heart, and she wanted to pretend to be dead.Li Haitang sneered, glanced at the old women in the courtyard, fixed his eyes on Chen Yan's face, walked over slowly, and said in a voice that everyone could hear."
Sister-in-law Chen, you intended to poison me and become dumb before, but I didn't expect that I accidentally ingested poison and harmed others and ended up harming myself.I read that you are the sister-in-law sent by Mrs.
Li Yan, regardless of the previous suspicions, I gave you the antidote pill. ”"As the saying goes, this man's heart is made of flesh.I believe that you have the right balance in your heart to know when it is safer to turn to whom. ”Casting a meaningful look at Chen Yanyan, Li Haitang turned his head to look at the two old women who were chopping wood and carrying water, and asked, "How much money do you have every month?"
”"If you go back to Miss Li, the old slave has half a tael of silver per month."
The old woman who was chopping wood replied respectfully, and kept her head down, kneeling on the ground.Li Haitang bowed his head, "Let's get up first." ”"Miss Xie Li."
The old woman got up gratefully and silently took two steps back to distance herself.Li Haitang was supported by Yang Yan's grandmother and walked towards Chef Liu.At this time, Chef Liu didn't want to take Qiao anymore, so she slowly stood up and bowed, and said in a flat voice: "Miss Li came to the kitchen, what do you have to say?"
”"I want to eat meat buns, and I heard that Chef Liu is very good at cooking, so I have the cheekiness to trouble you.""
Since it's what Miss Li wants to eat, I'll definitely do my best to cook it.""
I'm tired."
Li Haitang bowed his head in thanks, turned around and looked at Chen Yanyan, and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
”Chen Chang Yan was undecided, looked at the two greasy fat women worriedly, and hesitated: "Old slave, old slave has thought about it." ”"It doesn't matter if Grandma Chen doesn't think about it, when the poison is unbearable on the first and fifteenth days of the first month of the month, I believe you will come to me in a hurry.I have to be patient and have time. ”Li Haitang's words, not only Chen Yanyan was stunned, but even the calm and breezy Chef Liu couldn't help but look at her sideways, and even the two old women of the Pavilion secretly compared Li Haitang and Mo Xinlan in their hearts.It's not the same.It's just different.Chef Liu silently admired in her heart, and looked forward to the changes in the Xiqiao Pavilion in the next five years, and even the changes in the eight major families.When she was silent, Chen Yanyan had already come back to her senses, she went from disbelief to disbelief to anger at accepting the facts, but she also knew that she couldn't complain about others, and she deserved her life to be used by people on both sides.People who survive in the cracks know one thing best, judging the situation.Life is held in the hands of others, and it is difficult for Chen Chang to not bow her head.She decided to make a living between Mrs.
Li Yan and Li Haitang, maybe she could start and finish well.Thinking about it and seeing the reality clearly, Sister-in-law Chen knelt down and kowtowed, "Ask Miss Li to give the old slave a chance to make meritorious contributions."
The old slave must know everything, say everything, and be loyal to Miss Li. ”"Good!"
This is what she wants, Li Haitang praised with satisfaction, turned back to Yang and said, "You lead Chen and Chang Chen to make the roster." ”"Yes."
Sister-in-law Yang bowed, led Sister-in-law Chen to an ear room in the Pavilion, and ordered Sister-in-law Chen to write down the eyeliner sent by the government of all the old women and maids in the Pavilion at present.In the back kitchen, Li Haitang appeased the two old wives and asked Chef Liu to treat the two well.Chef Liu changed her cold expression, and readily agreed to take in the two wives and protect them from being bullied.Li Haitang thanked Chef Liu for her righteousness, and asked Sister-in-law Li to call a few old sisters-in-law from the Cabinet Pavilion to escort the three flattering and greedy old women to the front yard.In the front yard of the pavilion, the sun before noon was warmly sprinkled, and the cold winter wind was not as howling as at night, but soft like a feather brushing the face.Under the eaves porch, Li Haitang sat in a circle chair, holding her favorite Huanghuali dim sum box.This was given to her by Mo Shenghuan, and this morning he ordered the little maid to send two packs of delicious mung bean crisp, I heard that he specially sent someone to Yuanxiangzhai in Yanxia Town to buy it.Eating half a piece of mung bean crisp beautifully, Li Haitang patiently waited for Chen to finish writing the roster.And in the courtyard in front of her, fifty old women and maids stood with their heads bowed, and none of them dared to raise their heads or make a sound.Grandma Yang led Grandma Chen back, holding a thin booklet in her hand.He bowed down and said, "Big girl, this is the roster written by Chen Chang Yan, and twelve of them are the old men of the Qi Pavilion, including the old slave and Li Chang Yan. ”"Hmm."
As soon as Li Haitang's little hand was raised, Yang Yanchang immediately sent the roster.The roster is placed on the Huanghuali box, and I look through it page by page, not letting go of any name or house name, including the monthly calendar of each person."
Sister-in-law Chen is really the most reassuring person, no wonder Mrs.
Li Yan regards Sister-in-law Chen as a confidant.""
The old slave doesn't dare."
Chen Yanyan hated herself for underestimating Li Haitang at this time.When she was writing the roster in the ear room just now, she learned from Yang Yan's mouth that the package of dumb poison antidote was also mixed with another poison, and she would have unbearable abdominal pain on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and if she didn't take the pain-relieving powder in time, she would die of pain.Blue out of blue and better than blue.She knew that the ladies of the rich and noble families were already ruthless masters of playing with power, and they would do anything to achieve their goals.Unexpectedly, Li Haitang, who was born in a poor family, also had such ruthless methods, which really made her regret not knowing people clearly."
Smack!"
Closing the roster, Li Haitang proudly looked at the more than 50 people in the yard, Hibiscus was delicate and innocent, and a cold appeared between her beautiful eyebrows.obviously deliberately put on a proud posture, but because of his immature age, people can't be afraid.However, she is not worried that she will not be able to suppress these cunning, greedy and bullying old women and maids.Zhuge Yi and Mo Shenghuan both taught her: When others despise you, it is when you are ruthless, so that those who despise you will no longer dare to trample you under your feet like dirt.Ruthless?
Today is a good day."
Come on, according to the names of the people in this flower book, one by one.and he that covets the monthly silver shall have fifty rods and return it to his own house; If you dare to rely on the power of your master to bully and insult others, you will be given eighty rods and returned to your home; Those who dare to privately pass on the news of the Cabinet will be given a hundred rods and sent to the eight families to be punished by them. ”Li Haitang bit every word very clearly, so that more than 50 people in the front yard could hear it very clearly.Let them think about what they do in private, and wait for the board to be beaten."
Miss Li, we are specially sent here to serve by the ladies of various provinces who are sympathetic to Miss Li's food, clothing, and daily life.Miss Li can't look down on us and just say it, why bother so much. ”An old woman stepped forward, straightened her back, and provoked with confidence.She hadn't been beaten by the board by her original master's side, how could she let a milky little girl fall off?"
Yes, Miss Chestnut.As the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat a dog, and you can't torture us for no reason. ”The other old woman couldn't get angry and stood up to refute."
Yes, yes, Miss Li doesn't want to be an enemy of the Eight Great Families.""
Miss Li is young, and she must have been instigated by some people.""
Miss Li, we are all people sent by various prefectures, and if we want to be punished, our master should be punished."…… The chatter that filled the courtyard stopped when a cry of pain came from under the verandah to the west.The old women and the maids turned their heads in surprise and confusion, and saw two fat old women tied to the bench in the verandah, and the two rough old women in the back kitchen were waving their wooden sticks heartily.() Glory to the end
