Bondage

Song Wan frowned: "Has no one told Lin Jiayue about her identity as a silly sister?"

Vanilla shook her head: "Miss, you don't know, the house is completely messed up now, Aunt Lin asked her subordinates to work on a rotation system, and everyone broke their heads for the fat vacancies such as kitchens and warehouses. How can anyone ask her anything?"

"Everyone hopes that the house will be more chaotic. It is impossible to find out who is missing the number. The servants heard from Si'er that they are throwing things away every day, but the bills are getting more and more. Now they take turns, I don't know If there is a problem at that end, I am afraid that the gods will never understand this terrible account."

Song Wan's eyes dimmed slightly, and she pondered for a moment and said: "Let Mrs. Lang find out about it, and if she finds a silly girl, she will be bought and sent to my dowry village."

"After a loyal servant, he should not be treated like this."

Vanilla nodded and turned to do it.

"Hengzhi, go find some melon stems for spare, and tell the servants, Master Hou will come and inform me immediately when he returns home."

Song Wan stood in front of the carved window of Long Xiangzhai with her handkerchief in her hand, feeling more and more boring in her heart.In the past, she was the most impatient to deal with such trivial and trivial matters, but now she is always with them, which is really annoying.

"When will the woman in charge of the mansion report to Lin Jiayue the affairs of the mansion?"

"Probably around tomorrow."

Song Wan nodded, sat back on the futon, and began to read the scriptures again.

At a quarter past on the second day, Song Wan led Heng Zhiheng Wu to Xiuyan Pavilion.

Seven or eight women surrounded the Xiuyan Pavilion. Some of these women were holding melon seeds, some were eating snacks, and some were spitting tea foam. Grandma, I don't know what to pick my teeth with.

A group of people chattered non-stop, causing Song Wan to frown.

"Grandma."

When the women saw Song Wan, they got up quickly, throwing and spilling the melon seeds in their hands, making it a mess.

"Where's Aunt Lin?"

A woman said: "Aunt Lin went to the small kitchen to make ice cream for us. She said that after eating to cool off the heat, she will be able to do more work with less effort when her mind is calm."

Song Wan lowered his eyes, looked at the dirt on the floor and took two steps back slightly.

Seeing this, Hengzhi said: "How can you still look like a servant? Although Aunt Lin is a concubine, she is now in charge of the house, and she can be regarded as half of your master. Now it's confusing, master and servant are different. Who taught you such a bastard behavior?"

"I asked them to do this, do you have an opinion?"

Lin Jiayue and Qian Bi were holding a large lacquer tray with several bowls of ice cream on it.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard Heng Zhi scolding the women in charge.

"I let them do this. They are all human beings, so why should they be classified? Just because you are willing to kneel and serve others every day does not mean that others are willing too. In my Embroidery Smoke Pavilion, there is no rule for people to kneel, talk and work. .”

She couldn't bear to see Song Wan's noble and proud demeanor the most.

"The servant is also a human being, but it is just a helper, why bother to die?"

"What are you talking about..."

Song Wan raised his hand, and Heng Zhi retreated to the side without saying a word.

She was impatient to talk about these useless things with Lin Jiayue, she only came here today for one purpose.

"I heard that you sold a lot of servants?"

"So what? Do you know that the Hou Mansion doesn't need so many people at all?"

Song Wandao: "The Marquis of Chengyang's mansion has been established since the imperial dynasty, and it has been handed down for a hundred years. There has never been a precedent in the mansion for selling servants, do you know?"

Lin Jiayue sneered: "This precedent is set by me, what do you want?"

Seeing that Song Wan's face was indifferent and unsmiling, Lin Jiayue smirked and said, "It's not that you are burdening the revenue of the Hou Mansion, you can stand and talk without pain in your back. There are so many people in the Hou Mansion, if you don't know how to reduce a batch, won't you be punished?" Tired to death?"

Lin Jiayue actually thought she was raising the entire Hou Mansion?With what, her two so-called profitable shops?

Song Wan was a little funny for a while, although he knew that this person was arrogant in the past, but he didn't know that she would be so arrogant.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with her.

"I'm just here to tell you that servants in the mansion are not allowed to sell. Since there is no such precedent in the Hou Mansion, you must not break this rule when you come here."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Just because I am Mrs. Chengyang Hou."

Lin Jiayue smiled coldly, and took out Jiang Mu's dental plaque from her bosom and threw it on the table. She wanted to say a few more words, but Song Wan said, "Are you oppressing me with filial piety?"

After saying that, he turned around.

What she wanted was nothing more than this sentence, and if the goal was achieved, there was no need to entangle her any longer.

Song Wan came inexplicably and left suddenly, Lin Jiayue frowned, she could only convince herself that the other party was angry from embarrassment and couldn't hold on any longer.

"Don't pay attention to her, let's eat first, and then talk about business after eating."

The women looked at each other with concern, and they almost broke out in a cold sweat when they saw Song Wan suddenly, but seeing that the grandma obviously didn't want to take care of things, the two of them were happy again.

"Aunt Lin is lenient, and now no one in the entire Hou Mansion will say anything wrong about you."

"That's right, those of us who are servants, how have we ever been so respectable in front of the master? In other yards, even a small man can't sit on it."

Everyone complimented Lin Jiayue, but Lin Jiayue looked at Song Wan's back and pursed her lips in silence.

Walking back to the Lan Courtyard, Song Wan said: "Tomorrow, I will find a doctor from the government to diagnose my pulse, and they say that I have been seriously ill since I was suppressed by Lin Jiayue's filial piety in Xiuyan Pavilion."

"The servant knows."

From then on, Song Wan hid away in the name of recovering from illness, until Jiang Xingjian finished her work in Shanglin Garden, she never saw anyone in the mansion again.

Jiang Xingjian didn't know that the Marquis's mansion had been turned upside down, and he went to the court to report on his work as soon as he controlled the plague in the Fanyu Bureau.

"Master Hou is so beautiful and blessed, but he really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and wasted his wife's youth."

"What does your lord mean by this?"

Jiang Xingjian's face was ugly, and he was extremely displeased that someone brought up Song Wan in such a joking tone.

The man chuckled and walked away.

While Jiang Xingjian was wondering, Mr. Sun, a scholar of Dongge University, stepped forward and said, "May Hou be free today?"

"I don't know what advice Master Sun has?"

"Earlier, Zhuojing and Mrs. Hou have seen the marriage of the little girl. Although the two governments have not made an agreement, I think that this matter should not be delayed any longer. There must be a conclusion on whether it will be successful or not."

Jiang Xingjian said: "That's the case."

"It's better to hit the sun in another day. My wife is in the carriage now. Why don't I invite her to your mansion to meet Second Master Yan?"

Jiang Xingjian was taken aback for a moment, wondering why the Sun family was so anxious all of a sudden, they couldn't wait to post a post to find a better day.It's just that the Hou family has already lost their marriage with the Lan family, and the in-laws of the Sun family can no longer be lost.

After a little thought, Jiang Xingjian nodded, and agreed happily.

Lord Sun raised his eyebrows, gave him a meaningful look, and then got into his carriage swiftly.
