Wei Lang Seducer's Handbook

Chapter 119

One of them with a mottled face knelt and kowtowed: "Ma'am, if you don't believe what the three of them say, then add us. So many of us say you should believe it, right? Steward Feng is just bullying others, You have to decide for us!"

The other long-faced person also kowtowed several times, and together with the three who were tied up, there were five people in total, crying and shouting, clearly different from the remaining four who were quiet beside them.

Wei Ziqing hesitated and turned to look at the four: "Why don't you talk?"

Those with moles on their faces kept giving them winks, but they were horrified to find that not only did they ignore them, but they even took a step forward.

"Ma'am, yesterday was not what we wanted. What Steward Feng said was true. We used to be domineering, and we even cheated, beat and scolded the servants, and lied to the master. You will punish us, but we will have nothing to say."

Regardless of the crowds in the hall, the long-faced one stepped forward and pushed the speaker.

"What nonsense, it's you, it has nothing to do with us, there must be evidence for what you say."

"Evidence? Any random person in the mansion is evidence. Do you need me to find it for you?"

Madame Gong broke free from the rope like crazy, "I'll beat you to death, you bastard, and I'll make you come out and bite again."

Wei Ziqing seemed unable to stand the noise in the hall, and covered his forehead with a headache: "Butler Feng, I'll leave this matter to you, you have to check carefully to see if there are any mistakes like what he said."

Mrs. Gong's face turned pale: "Ma'am, he deliberately harmed us, we can't let him investigate..."

Before he finished speaking, Butler Feng had someone stuff a rag into his mouth, and the five of them were taken away.

As for the remaining four, they still knelt on the ground obediently, without any wavering.

Wei Ziqing squinted for a while, then smiled and asked them to stand up: "Kneeling all night, doesn't your knee hurt? Okay, let's all go back to work."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to move.

Wei Ziqing ignored them, and looked at Steward Feng: "Tell me first what to do with those who are taken down."

"Kitchen, laundry room, stables, gardening, training servants."

Wei Ziqing found out the roster of the group of people who came yesterday, and threw it to Butler Feng: "Choose five from here, and they will do their jobs."

The expressions of the four lying on the ground changed, and they dared not stand upright. They listened tremblingly to Wei Ziqing's instructions to Butler Feng on how to deal with the rest.

Just as they were terrified, there was no sound around them, several people raised their heads and saw that Steward Feng was the only one left, and his wife had already left, so they dared to straighten their bodies and stretch their muscles.

"What happened yesterday was ordered by Madam?"

He was so rude when he came up, and he couldn't get along with that kind lady.

Steward Feng closed his eyes half-closed, and it took a long time for the old god to say: "What do you think?"

"The lady knows that Eunuch Li..."

Butler Feng opened his eyes and showed a strange smile: "You think that anyone can live in this mansion? The last old gentleman who lived here was the late emperor's crown prince Shaofu, who single-handedly assisted the late emperor to succeed to the throne. After his death, he asked to be demoted to a commoner, but the current sage couldn't bear it, so he sent him all the way out of Beijing, and stood on the tower looking up to the sky to sin against himself."

"Can I make it clearer? Let's break the sky, an eunuch, let alone the wife of the general's mansion dispose of his godson, even if he slaps him in the face, he has to smile and apologize to the general's mansion, dirty master hands."

The four of them were silent all the way, and when they passed by the courtyard where the slaves who were punished were disposed of, they happened to see them sitting on the board in the courtyard.

The fat steward screamed in pain, and shouted recklessly: "You four are traitors! When I get out, I have to kill you!"

One of the four people kindly persuaded: "You should think about how to plead guilty, and ask Madam to forgive you."

"I'm not guilty, do you think I'm stupid? If I admit it, how can I turn over?"

The other person couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at him sympathetically: "You still think that your younger brother was the noble concubine of the master's family before? Madam has already removed your position of steward, and a new steward has been appointed."

"All five of us withdrew?" Chang Mozi's face was full of disbelief.

The remaining two are unwilling to stay here for longer, so as not to be implicated: "Let's go, talk to them more about what to do."

"That's right, Guanshi Li has Eunuch Li as his godfather. We don't have anything. We'd better be honest and stop being bewitched by him."

Seeing that the four of them left without looking back, the sound of cracking sticks resounded across the sky, and several people howled ghostly and yelled for all moves.

The long-haired one, that is, Guanshi Li, gritted his teeth and looked sternly: "What are you screaming about, a worthless thing?"

He had sensed the danger at first, so he didn't go to make trouble like those idiots like Mrs. Gong. He couldn't stop coming out to bite Steward Feng, trying to take the opportunity to get him down, so that no one would be able to interfere in his affairs, so that he could hide from the sky and control the internal affairs.

Who would have thought it was a set?When he came out to bite, it just gave Wei Ziqing an excuse to investigate, how could he resist the investigation?

When the new emperor came to the throne, Eunuch Li was an old man in the original palace, but when King Rui was young, Eunuch Li once reported his favor to his son.

Eunuch Li just showed his face in front of the new emperor and reminded him a few words, and the new emperor remembered it. Naturally, he rewarded him casually. Office is irrelevant.Even if the chief executive sees him, he has to be polite.

The luckiest thing for him was that he was in favor of Eunuch Li before this, and he took advantage of the opportunity to recognize Eunuch Li as his godfather. Since then, he has been walking sideways in the mansion. It used to be that the master didn't care about fame and wealth, let alone internal affairs. His belly was full after eating, and his godfather was also radiant from being raised by him.

Now that the godfather has gained power, the tide has risen, and he still wants to be majestic again, but he has suffered a hard nail before he even started.

What about the general?Don't underestimate the power of eunuchs who serve people.

Li Guanshi took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, and stuffed them into the hands of his confidant who beat him without anyone noticing: "Tell godfather, let him fish me out, and, revenge..."

The newly appointed stewards got orders and had been waiting in the garden for a long time.

The stone bench in the pavilion was covered with thick and soft cushions, Wei Ziqing nodded at Zheng Er, she is really a good girl who is naturally careful.

The stewards mentioned their names one by one, and the steward Yang who was in charge of the kitchen, Wei Ziqing took a closer look, so familiar.

"Where's Xiaotao?"

"Xiaotao is young, she has been helping to light the fire in the kitchen."

"I see this kid is smart, let him come to my yard."

Yang Guan was overjoyed at first, but then panicked with worry: "Ma'am, I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it. My child looks quick, but his brain is not smart at all. He doesn't have eyesight, and he speaks straight. Afraid of making you angry."

"It doesn't matter, come to me, I will naturally teach him, maybe I can return you a sensible and obedient person."

After hearing this, Steward Yang was happier than when he became a steward himself: "I don't ask you to train him to be a lady of the family, it's enough for him to have the temperament of your little finger, and I don't have to worry about him not getting married at that time." gone."

Yang Guanshi's words are no exaggeration. Wei Ziqing's temperament is not deliberately pretended by him. A person who has been playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood has learned etiquette and rules for more than ten years. She is also a grass chicken who walks with wind, not to mention that she has transformed into such a noble status, so she can't help but have that ladylike vigor.

"You will bury your own daughter..."

A few simple jokes relieved the tense atmosphere on the field. Wei Ziqing immediately ordered a few people, and didn't say too many details.

After everyone had dispersed, Steward Feng came out with his notebook.

"Ma'am, there are a few things waiting for you to deal with: it is the first time for the mansion to buy clothes for the master. I have prepared a few shops for you to choose from, such as Qianji, Dayoufang, and Fuyunlai. If you are not satisfied, please let me know." Instructions; Mrs. Wang, Minister of Rituals, Mrs. Sun, Minister of the Ministry of Households...all posted door stickers and invited you to your home; today, according to what you said, all officials below the third rank of the sect stopped their good words and confiscated the gifts. Those above the third rank are housekeepers I came here, so I didn't report it, the gift list is as follows, you can see how and when you will return..."

"Steward Feng." Wei Ziqing rubbed his forehead: "Look, I'm from the countryside, how can I know this? You don't need to talk about such trivial things."

Butler Feng's list was full and set up the table neatly. He thought he had done a good job, but when he heard Wei Ziqing's words, the tendons on his forehead twitched.

"Ma'am, you are self-effacing. I have sorted this out. I picked up the important ones. You still need to know."

Wei Ziqing didn't know why, his head was buzzing: "I really have a headache..."

Looking at Steward Feng's suspicious eyes, Wei Ziqing gave up explaining: "Go and call Xiaosi here."

Then he regretted it again: "Primary Four still has to study, so you go and call Axiu."

Axiu was gnawing on a candy figurine she bought outside, with paint all over her mouth, when she saw Wei Ziqing rushing over excitedly: "Brother Qing, try it?"

Wei Ziqing looked at Monkey King whose head had been bitten off, and fell silent.

"Axiu...you, are you kowtowing?"

What about his stable, capable, mature and kind Axiu?

Axiu also realized it, and retracted her arms in embarrassment: "It's really boring in the mansion, and I can't do any work, so I can only pass the time by eating and drinking."

Wei Ziqing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, why are there still people rushing forward to be sent?

Enticingly said: "Axiu, can you do me a favor? I'm not feeling well today, can you follow me to deal with the affairs of the family?"

Axiu nodded calmly: "Sure, as long as I know how."

Wei Ziqing smiled sweetly: "It doesn't matter, the three of us discuss it."

Axiu didn't know what was wrong, so she naturally went to help organize the booklets on the table.

Axiu's strengths are carefulness and patience, and her weaknesses are also obvious. He has no understanding of the courtesies between officials and schools; naturally, let alone him, Wei Ziqing dare not say that he can be sure. To inquire, in fact, is to help teach him how to get started as soon as possible.

Wei Ziqing looked at the serious discussion between Axiu and Steward Feng, which made him think a little bit, and added a few words from time to time.

He thought in his heart, with such a posture and Axiu's extremely fast hands-on speed, it seems that his leisurely life has taken another step forward.

If Steward Feng knew Wei Ziqing's thoughts, he might ask, "Why are you thinking about how to enjoy your leisure before you start being busy?"

If Axiu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely grieve her teeth with hatred, the pit was dug too silently.

Butler Feng and Axiu lay on the table and calculated for a long time, and finally wrote a number and handed it to Wei Ziqing.

Wei Ziqing was drowsy from the rare warm sun at noon, when he saw the piece of paper, he froze for a moment.

"You can discuss it."

Axiu smiled happily: "I can't decide this."

Steward Feng also remained silent, only staring at Wei Ziqing picking up the paper before moving his eyes away.

"This is……"

Axiu rushed to answer: "This is the estimated expenses for today." Then she took out another sheet from the side: "This is the estimated large expenses for this month, and Steward Feng also estimated the remaining details based on experience. After counting, more refunds and less compensation, you take it out first."

Wei Ziqing covered the money bag on his waist, and looked at the two people vigilantly: "Shall I pay?"

Butler Feng stared at him strangely: "You are the head wife, if you don't come out, who will come out?"

"Then how did I live before I came here?"

"It's all the money temporarily allocated by the court. Now that the general has returned to the mansion, the money given there has been spent. It's up to the general and you to pay for it."

"..."

Wei Ziqing swallowed hard: "There are so many servants in the house, maintaining such a large yard, you mean, all the money comes from me?"

"You can ask the general for his salary to supplement the family. It's the same for other families."

When Song Boming came home in the middle of the night, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Brother Qing had left the light on and was sitting under the dim light with his coat on, reading a book.

Seeing him coming back, Brother Qing got off the bed and gently helped him take off his coat: "May I do you a favor today."

Song Poming's heart was warm, and he hugged his waist instead: "I'm not busy, but I have a lot of chores. How are you at home?"

Wei Ziqing brushed his collar with his finger, and lightly opened a corner of his shirt with his index finger, scratching back and forth unconsciously.

"Feng Steward said that many adults came to the house to give gifts, and they have to return according to the etiquette."

Song Boming's eyes were gloomy, and he tightened his hands tightly, pressing the person tightly against his body: "You can do as you see, Feng Steward has a lot of experience, if you don't understand, just ask him."

Brother Qing's little hands were weak and boneless, and they slipped into his clothes coldly: "It's getting colder and colder, it's time to make winter clothes..."

Song Boming's voice was hoarse, and he buried his head on his shoulder: "Then buy it."

"Primary four needs to prepare for the exam, and lacks a good teacher."

"Let Steward Feng invite..."

"I don't like the gold silk yarn in the bedroom, and the blanket under my feet is also in the way. I don't want that kind of tree in the yard..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Brother Qing was muttering, so he couldn't even pretend he couldn't hear him.

Wei Ziqing flattened his mouth aggrieved: "No money."

"..."

"How much is your monthly salary?"

"..."

"It can't be 100 taels of silver, right?"

Song Boming coughed lightly, and let go of the soft brother Qing: "The new emperor's new policy is the time to use money, and the courtiers..."

"speak English!"

"28 taels."

Wei Ziqing lost his focus: "It costs 12 taels of silver just to return the jade inkstone that Mrs. Sun gave me, and Madam Wu's calligraphy and painting are worth 30 taels of silver..."
