The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 24
When Li was handling affairs in the mansion, he did not avoid his children.Ye Xueying watched the whole process of Li's handling.

Ye Xueying was surprised by Li's decisiveness and coldness, but at the same time she felt it was normal. If the matron of a big family had been weak and kind, she would have been killed long ago.

Three days later, when everything was dealt with, Li asked with a smile, "Xue'er, you've been watching these days, is there anything you don't understand?"

Ye Xueying had been thinking about it for a long time when Li was dealing with it.She really had a lot of doubts in her heart.

She asked, "Those who stole, why don't you sell them?"

Ye Xueying didn't quite understand that Mrs. Li had sold so many people but not those who stole things.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Treachery is the most serious crime, so I sold the Tian family and Wen family to the grassland as slaves. This is to let everyone see how miserable the fate of betraying me is. Those few people who have personal affairs, Selling to the other party's house is both adult beauty and punishment."

Ye Xueying was a little confused.The other party is willing to spend money to buy it back, so naturally there is still affection, and the lover and concubine will naturally live happily together in the future.How could it be punishment?
Mrs. Li said leisurely: "I don't understand?"

Ye Xueying nodded.

Li sneered: "Why would men outside pursue the maid and daughter-in-law in the mansion? Because she is from the Ye mansion, and there are benefits if you get along with her. If you buy her back now, she will be just a woman. You can't get any more benefits, and you have to spend money." A sum of money was spent, and his family's reputation was ruined because of this incident. It won't take long for the man's family to regret it, and those few people will naturally not end well. They didn't marry, they bought. I want to let Let them take a good look at what those men will look like after they turn their faces."

Ye Wenying smiled and said, "That's right, their lives will be hundreds of times more painful than when they were in my house. They will be punished without us whipping them. Others will still have to say that our Ye family is righteous."

If Ye Xueying realizes something, the income of those maids and wives in the mansion is much higher than outside.If the men outside are smart and have ways to make money, they can still help them.Ye Mansion spends hundreds of taels of silver every day, and the man can find a business at will and make a lot of money just by providing money to Ye Mansion.Even if you don't do Ye Mansion's business, you can still take advantage by relying on someone in Ye Mansion.The government doesn't dare to control things like bullying, smuggling and reselling.

And once they leave the house, they can't do anything except do some housework and sell their own needlework.They are used to living a good life in the mansion, but when they really come to ordinary people's homes, the cost of food and clothing will drop a few notches, first of all, they can't bear it.Once the mentality is out of balance, the woman will regret it, and the man will also regret it.In the future, there will be some quarrels between the men and women, and the woman's deed of prostitution is in the hands of the man.It's really noisy, how can we have a good life?

"As for those dirty hands and feet, if you want to sell them, you can't afford to sell them. If you sell them to others, they will definitely have to steal and be arrested. At that time, it is said that they are people who have gone out of our house, so there is no need to corrupt Ye. The reputation of the mansion. For a few small moneys, they rushed to the farm to do coolies, and the people in the farm would supervise them, which saved trouble." Ye Wenying said again.

Ye Xueying nodded and asked, "Where are the two Jin Yiwei? Why didn't you drive them away?"

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "It's easy to drive them away, but it's hard to reassure the emperor. Today we drive away these two, and tomorrow two newcomers will come in. Rather than dealing with newcomers, it's better to deal with acquaintances. With these two people, Jin Yiwei So I won’t send people here anymore. I won’t be suspicious anymore, wondering who is the Jinyiwei. In this world, who doesn’t have a few Jinyiwei?”

The third brother clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's the truth. Knowing that they are Jin Yiwei, just take precautions secretly."

Ye Xueying nodded and asked tentatively, "What about Honggu? You drove her to the farm, is she a spy?"

Li shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem like she is so poor that she doesn't even have money for medical treatment. If she were a spy, she wouldn't be so poor. Your second uncle is a very generous person. However, the second uncle's people can't go with her." It's too frequent and the interactions are too close. She's not a spy now, so there's no guarantee she won't be tempted in the future. It would be good for me and her to send her away as soon as possible, so as not to hurt the friendship between master and servant."

Qingniao and Lue admired at the side: "Madam is really considerate, it's not in vain for Honggu to serve Madam."

Li smiled and said: "If you play with me, I will always take care of you."

Blue Bird and Green Calyx nodded excitedly.

Ye Xueying sighed secretly, letting Honggu escape!If I find another chance to repair her one day, I will have to avenge the murder of the original person.

The third brother suddenly said: "If Hong Gu is really a spy, the day she leaves the mansion is the day she dies."

Ye Xueying asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

"The Tian family and the Wen family are so miserable. Ye Youliang is imprisoned, but she is safe. What will the second uncle think?" The third brother asked with a smile.

Ye Xueying understood instantly that the second uncle would definitely think that Aunt Hong had betrayed those two people.She remembered the 100 taels of silver that Li gave away in public when seeing Hong Gu off.Honggu was so moved that she rolled off the stretcher and kowtowed.The other servants envied Honggu for becoming a farm steward and praised his wife for her affection.Thinking about it now, Ye Xueying felt cold all over her body.

Qingniao and Luzhi also thought of it, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Li smiled and said nothing.Obviously she had thought of this a long time ago.

Ye Xueying accepted it, the cheap old lady and the third brother are both good people.

More than ten days later, when Mrs. Li received the news of Honggu's death, she was still a little sad.What makes her sad is not Honggu's death, but Honggu's betrayal.After Ye Xueying found out, she also let go of her worries.

Ye Xueying still had a big question in her heart, and taking this opportunity, she asked, "Mother, does grandfather know that second uncle is going to harm us?"

"How could you not know? What could be hidden from him? He and my grandmother just favored my second uncle, otherwise there would be no point for my family to move here." Ye Wenying said angrily.

Mrs. Li struggled and said: "Master Hou is resourceful, courageous and courageous, but he made a big mistake in this matter. He should have been hesitating all the time, wanting to keep us, but also not wanting to hurt the second uncle. But the world is like this, how can we have both method."

Ye Xueying was a little curious. In her original memory, her grandfather was just a stern old man who should be treated with respect.I don't usually look at myself.Apart from kowtowing during festivals, I have no special impression.

But looking at Li's attitude, although she harbored resentment towards Lord Hou, she admired him very much.This is so rare!This shows that the old man must have something extraordinary.These days, Ye Xueying also learned about the official system in this world.Hou Ye is the general soldier of Luozhou, with more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hand, and the commander of one of the three armies guarding the northwest border.

Luozhou is a place adjacent to the Xia Dynasty and the foreign races in the prairie. The foreign races in the grassland invade almost every year. It is naturally quite remarkable that Hou Ye can guard here for decades and prevent the foreign races from going south.To be exact, the Ye family has been staying here for more than 100 years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty.

If old man Ye didn't have real skills, the position of Luozhou General Soldier, Marquis of Wu'an would not be able to sit still.

Ye Xueying had never seen such a person with her own eyes, and she was full of curiosity about that grandfather.
