Chapter 271: Ming Qiang (Part 1)
"Yes, Miss Er." Juan Bilang replied, deliberately turning up the volume, wishing that everyone inside and outside could hear clearly.
Gu Yunzhen has a gentle temperament, but he is not stupid, and his heart is like a mirror.
To put it bluntly, it was because the second uncle and the second aunt were unwilling to give up the property and this mansion, so they wanted to use this method to embarrass the second sister and embarrass the second sister.
And her second younger sister never had the temperament of sitting still and waiting for death, so she counterattacked the second room with a backhand, and made a lot of money.
It was also the second aunt who gave the second sister the reason for her outburst.
The nurses in charge, including Nanny He, couldn't help swallowing, and their hearts became more complicated.
Although they are slaves, and the master's family also has their body deeds, but anyone who can reach the level of a steward and nun is no longer just a slave, but a trusted confidant entrusted by the master's family.
Under normal circumstances, the main family would not use their deeds to manipulate them, nor would they sell them casually, unless Pixel Niang made a huge mistake like this.
Several nuns sighed secretly in their hearts: The second girl's trick is really cruel!
The second wife was pushed to the fire, this time, if the second wife didn't buy Zhou Li's family and Qian Momo, she would be ashamed.
Gu Yanfei took into account the changes in the expressions of Nanny He and the others, slowly scanned the crowd, and said calmly: "Although our Gu family is no longer the Hou's mansion, you can't help but look at me."
"Who is the master and who is the servant, everyone should weigh it clearly in their hearts."
"If you don't want to be a servant of the Gu family, I won't force you, and I will send you to find a new future."
When Gu Yanfei said these words, there was always a slight smile on Gu Yanfei's lips, and on that exquisite and flawless face, the black pupils shone with a stern light, which made it hard to look at.
A few nuns boldly raised their heads to look at Gu Yanfei, and when they met her cold eyes, they couldn't help but startled, thinking of the late Marquis Gu Ce for a moment, then they lowered their heads again, feeling quite anxious. There is a bit of trepidation.
Outside the hall behind, there was a sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps, gradually approaching.
Nanny He couldn't help but cast a quick sideways glance to the back, and saw a short, fat woman of forty-five or sixteen years old with a rust-colored beanie running towards this side in a hurry, out of breath.
Nanny He naturally recognized this person, this is the chief steward in charge of the kitchen, Nanny Zhen.
The kitchen is a fat job in charge of oil and water. Although you can't get money directly from it, you can take advantage of your position to get some charcoal fire, firewood, round-grained rice, meat and vegetables, etc. Everyone in the house wants to enter the kitchen. Be a daughter-in-law in charge.
Everyone in the mansion respects Madam Zhen three points.
At this moment, Madam Zhen, who was usually rich and comfortable, was sweating profusely as she walked swiftly up the stone steps in front of the main hall.
Panting heavily as she walked, she explained to Gu Yanfei who was in the house: "Second girl, forgive me, but the kitchen is just busy right now, and there was a commotion during the busy schedule. The japonica rice was wet, so the servants ran to the grain depot to check , so it was a step late."
Nanny Zhen kept saying that she went to the grain depot, but she was not far away just now.
After hearing the news that Gu Yanfei summoned the nanny in charge to come to the main hall, she ordered her daughter-in-law to order a woman who was in charge of cleaning nearby in advance, and told her to report to her if there was any trouble.
Just now, when Mother Zhen heard that Gu Yanfei was going to hand over her body deed to the second room, she was anxious. She never wanted to leave the mansion, she just planned to come a little later to put on a show.
Who in this mansion does not know that the second house only shares 10% of the family property, and will move to a second house in the west of the city, and follow the second house, where can there be such a big kitchen in this mansion to manage, so much oil and water? fishing!
Mother Zhen showed a flattering smile on her face, she was holding her skirt, and was about to step over the threshold of the main hall, but she heard the purple-clothed girl in front of her order lightly: "Stop it."
"This Yude hall is not something you can enter if you want to."
As soon as Gu Yanfei said these words, the two maids guarding under the eaves immediately took two steps forward, and quickly stopped Nanny Zhen from entering the main hall.
One of the servant girls silently said with lip movements: "Nurse Zhen, don't make things difficult for us."
Nanny Zhen froze in an instant, and said again: "Second Miss, I know I was wrong. This time there is a reason for what happened, and I will never dare to do it again next time."
Nanny He and the others in the hall tensed up even more. While they were glad that they didn't take Joe, they also felt that Nanny Zhen was really confused. He is the second master's confidant, so it is impossible for the eldest young master to allow the big housekeeper to continue to sit in the position of the big housekeeper next week.
Gu Yanfei ignored Mother Zhen who was outside the hall, and turned to ask Bi, "Are they in good order?"
Juanbi flipped through the thick stack of deeds of sale in the box, took out a lot of deeds of deeds of sale, and shook them casually. There were at least twenty of them. Some hair straightened.
This body deed is the lifeblood of these servants. Obviously, the body deeds in Juanbi's hands are not only for Madam Zhen and other nuns in charge, but also their family members.
"Girl, that's all." Juan Bi presented the body deed to Gu Yanfei with a smile on his face.
Madam Zhen, who was stopped by two maids outside the main hall, looked at this scene, dripping with cold sweat, with a panicked expression, her guts were green with regret.
She is doing a good job as the chief kitchen manager, she really didn't plan to follow the second master and second wife!
Nanny He looked at Gu Yanfei, then at Nanny Zhen outside the main hall, gritted her teeth, and simply asked Ying, "Second Miss, let the servants handle such trivial matters."
As soon as this remark came out, the other nuns in charge were all shocked, and then regretted why they didn't think of it.
That's right, now is a good opportunity to show your face in front of Second Miss!
Gu Yanfei didn't accept those body deeds either, met He Nanny's eager eyes, nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Nanny He was ecstatic, and responded loudly.
Then, after listening to the instructions in full view of everyone, he took a wooden box containing the deed from Juan Bi.
Seeing that Nanny He walked past her in high spirits, and Nanny Zhen still wanted to beg for help, but Gu Yanfei said flatly, "One time of infidelity, one hundred times of infidelity."
"Everyone, remember!"
Those two simple sentences were like a big basin of ice water poured down on her head. Madam Zhen's whole body was icy cold, her feet went limp as if she was exhausted, and she knelt down on the ground in embarrassment.
Nanny He, who had just stepped out of the main hall, was also terrified in her heart, with a serious expression.
She is a sensible person. Today, Mother Zhen intends to give the second girl a blow, thinking that the second girl is young and easy to handle, but the second girl is not soft and hard, and she is decisive in killing. This time, Zhenmao will not be able to steal chickens. The eclipse is over!
Nanny He held the body deed in the box, and brought four or five maidservants to give her a boost. Under the complicated eyes of everyone, she left with her head held high.
She hurriedly went to Mingyi Courtyard to ask to see the second wife, Mrs. Wang, and conveyed Gu Yanfei's meaning with a smile:
"Second Wife, this is the deeds of Aunt Zhou, Nanny Qian, and Nanny Lai...their families."
"My girl said that if the second wife doesn't want these people, then the mansion will find a matchmaker and sell them all."
"The people in these rooms have a total of four thousand taels of silver. I don't know what the second wife's plan is?"
Facing Mrs. Wang, Nanny He looked neither humble nor overbearing, with her back straightened, telling herself in her heart: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she must make this matter beautiful.
Four thousand taels of silver? ! Wang Shi almost jumped up, her face was ashen.
Buying a maid from a prostitute is only a matter of ten or twenty taels of silver, and there is only a contract of twenty here, and Gu Yanfei dares to pay ten times the price, so why doesn't she go and grab it openly!
Mrs. Wang didn't bother to argue with this servant, and looked haughtily at the nurse in charge next to her.
Nanny Shi immediately understood, snorted coldly, raised her chin and said, "Mommy He, these four thousand taels of silver are probably enough to buy two hundred slaves outside!"
He Momo looked at Shi Momo with a smile on her face, without showing any timidity, she retorted plausibly: "Shi Momo, can this person be the same as others? There is a girl with ten taels of silver, and a girl with a hundred taels of silver." Girl, each has its own price, it depends on 'whether it's worth it'."
"If the second wife doesn't like these old people, she can go outside and buy some new ones. The servants will never dare to force the second wife."
Madam He's words are full of meaning, and she always smiles at people.
The four thousand taels of silver were not bought for these slaves, but for the face of the second wife.
If the second wife thinks that her face is not worth four thousand taels of silver, Nanny He knows that she has a brilliant tongue, and she will not be able to do this job.
Wang: "..."
Wang's complexion darkened again, his eyes were gloomy and unhappy, and his fingertips ruthlessly pinched into the tender palm.
This Nanny He used to be respectful in front of her, but now she dares to speak to her in such a tone!
Mrs. Wang wanted to order her mother-in-law to drive Nanny He out, but she couldn't say it.
If she allowed Gu Yanfei to sell these people, then she would become a whole family, no, it would be a joke of the whole family, how would she gain a foothold in the family in the future!
