Make a long-term worker as an old attack

Niu Lishi knelt in the front hall of Xue's mansion, too frightened to even lift his head.During these years in Xue's residence, besides the kitchen and the backyard, she has at most been to the old lady's room to deliver medicines and meals. She has never seen such a magnificent place in the front hall of Xue's house.

The maidservants in their kitchen were called to the front hall of Xue's house around noon. At that time, she had just made a bowl of hot oil-splashed noodles and was about to send them to her son who was working in the field. go.Just like that, Niu Li felt that the bowl of noodles on the stove must be lumpy, and he had to find someone to tell his son to go to the kitchen to eat quickly.

Just thinking about it, a girl came over and whispered something in Xue Qian's ear. Niu Li looked up quietly, and saw the old man sitting in the front hall with a straight face, which would be even more serious. It's ugly and scary.

"Crack!" Xue Gan slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "Which one is Niu Li?!"

When Niu Gengniang saw the master suddenly calling her name, she was startled, thinking she heard it wrong, she didn't dare to say anything for a long time.Suddenly, the girl who had just walked back came to her side, dragged herself up, and dragged her to the front of the crowd. Niu Lishi was so frightened that her feet went limp, she plopped on the ground, and kowtowed several times to Xue Qianlian.

"Master, master, the young one, the young one is Niu Lishi." She could not help but tremble all over her body, always feeling that the eyes of the masters and wives sitting above were piercing her body like needles. .

"Niu Li, how long have you been in the kitchen?" Xue Tian asked.

"Back to Second Madam, the younger one has been helping in the kitchen for almost 30 years."

"Oh, I remembered. I heard from the old lady that 30 years ago, a girl with no father and mother was picked up from the street. She fled famine and came to our county. Her maiden name is Li. Is it you?" Mrs. Xue Tian continue to ask.

"Exactly, it's the small one."

"In this way, if the old lady hadn't picked you up, fed you, and pointed you to others, you should have died in a foreign land long ago, right?"

"Yes, yes, the old lady and the old lady have shown great kindness to the little one, even if the little one is a cow or a horse in the next life, he will not be able to do so."

"In the next life, I won't be a cow or a horse in my next life. The old lady treats you so well, why do you have the heart to change her medicine and cause her to die in vain?!" Xue Tian's voice suddenly became sharp, and the sharp and piercing voice was word by word Every single word plunged into Niu Gengniang's heart.

"Young one, I didn't have it, I'm wronged, Second Madam, I really didn't!" Niu Li was shocked, and suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing from the soles of his feet to his head, but his hands and feet were cold, which was unfounded. The accusation came so suddenly that she had no choice but to kowtow to the master.

"Look for yourself, this high-quality Qingdai found in your house, you didn't steal a defective product to fill it up, how could this Qingdai be in your house?!" A girl threw a bag of parcels in front of her. Niu Gengniang tremblingly opened it and saw that the package was indeed modified by herself with the old clothes that Niu Geng couldn't wear, but she didn't recognize the dark green things in the package at all.

"Master, master, I am wronged! I don't even know what this thing is!" Niu Gengniang cried and cried out.

Niu Geng at the entrance of the front hall heard the commotion inside again, and seemed to have heard his mother's cry, so he was about to rush in.

"Boy, now that my son is going in, do you want the master to kill you two directly?" Xue Fu stopped him with one hand and said, "You wait here first, I'll go in and have a look, you must remember, don't Break in." Saying that, Xue Fu forcibly stopped Niu Geng from wanting to break in, pushed the door open by himself, and went in.

"Master, we laymen can't tell what this thing is, why don't we ask the doctor to take a look, is it Qingdai?" As soon as he entered the front hall, he looked at Niu Gengniang who was crying with tears all over his face, and The small pieces of dark green scattered around her.Xue Fu glanced at Xue Gan's dark face, slowly turned to one side, and said in a low voice.

Xue Fu's words still had some influence on Xue Qian, and he sent a servant to ask the doctor to take a look, the package was indeed the best Qingdai.

When Niu Gengniang who was kneeling below heard what the doctor said, her scalp went numb and she couldn't even cry.

At this time, Jin Feng, who was kneeling on one side, suddenly wailed: "Master! It's all because of Jin Feng's carelessness. The bitch changed the medicine and didn't find it. The old lady died in vain. Master, you beat Jin Feng to death!" Let Jin Feng continue to serve the old lady underground!" As she spoke, she fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"Sir, tell me, judging from the medicine dregs, the death of the old lady has something to do with the medicine that was changed." The sullen Xue Gan finally uttered these words after a long time, and the entire front hall fell silent. You can even hear a needle drop.

The doctor who stood by the side didn't dare to delay, and immediately replied: "If you use the best Qingdai produced in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the pharmacy when decocting the medicine, the color of the medicine residue should be purple black. The color of the indigo naturalis produced in China should be light green. I saw it today, and the drug residue left by Jinfeng girl is light green. The indigo naturalis produced in the provincial capital should be used. Although both of them are indigo naturalis, they can There is a big difference between the efficacy and price of the medicine. In the medicine prescribed to the old lady, Qingdai is mainly used to relieve cough, nourish the lungs and detoxify. If the medicine is not effective, it will definitely affect the effect of the whole medicine. Look at the amount of Qingdai , It should have been changed for about 20 days."

"Master, Jinfeng has been serving the old lady personally these years. I know the old lady's physical condition better than anyone else. After the two young masters got married, the old lady's health has improved a lot, but for some reason, her body has become weaker. Suddenly things went wrong. At that time, Jinfeng had already sensed that something was wrong, but because the doctor was returning home for the New Year, Jinfeng, a girl, didn't dare to identify her indiscriminately. She had to wait for the doctor to come back before Jinfeng had the courage to sue the master. Master, Jinfeng For failing to remind Master and Madam in time, Jin Feng deserves death!"

That Jinfeng said it in a good way, pear blossoms were crying with rain, and everyone in the room felt pity for them.Only Niu Geng's poor mother was left, who was so angry that she couldn't even breathe.

"Miss Jinfeng, the old woman has never had any grievances with you, why did you wrong me?! Why?!"

"You have been wronged! The evidence is solid, the witnesses and the physical evidence are solid, who can wrong you?!" Xue Qian slammed the table several times in a rage, the beard on his lips was trembling, and his frown was about to be squeezed. At the same time, the angry voice from the chest made everyone in the front hall shudder, and they didn't dare to say another word.

"Mother, mother!" Just when everyone was eager to shrink back and not show their heads, that Niu Geng rushed in so recklessly, pushed away the boy who was blocking the door, and Niu Geng rushed past the crowd and knelt down. His mother's side.

"Master! My mother definitely won't do this thing of changing the medicine. She can't even read a few words, so how can she know which medicine is good and which is bad." Niu Geng kowtowed several times, his thick forehead It hit the floor tiles with a loud bang.It's just that he knocked too hastily, and didn't notice the several glances that Xue Fu, who was beside Xue Qian, gave him.

"You are Niu Geng?! Niu Li's son?" Xue Gan's voice was as cold as ice.

"The small one is right."

"Do you know that long-term workers are not allowed to come to the front yard without the master's summons?"

"Master, my son is also impatient for a while, please don't be as knowledgeable as him, master." Niu Lishi saw that Xue Qian's expression was not good, and compared to her own troubles, if her son was involved, it would really seem like the sky had fallen to her. Same.

"Hmph, I was impatient for a while. Last year, the young master guaranteed you to learn to write and keep accounts. Did our Xue family forget all about your kindness so quickly? How dare you run amok in this front yard?!"

"Master, I don't dare." Even though Niu Geng had such brute strength, he still didn't dare to do anything wrong in the face of the master.What's more, the man in the hall is Qing'er's own father.

"Master, please calm down. Niu Geng's temper is stronger than that of ordinary long-term workers, so you don't have to worry about him." Xue Fu walked up to Niu Geng, lowered his head slightly, and rarely begged for Niu Geng's favor with lowered eyebrows.

Xue Gan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.In the past six months, he has been troubled by many things at home. Now, the house is restless, and the guys and girls who were captured a few days ago with the money of the master's money are enough to make him upset. Seeing these long-term workers and wives who don't know how to repay their kindness makes him feel even more chilled.He paused and said, "Mrs. Niu Li, you said you were wronged, but who else has handled this Qingdai besides you? The old lady's medicinal materials have always been picked up by the madam from the medicine shop with her own hands, and they are all used in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The product is very good Qingdai. After grabbing the medicine and coming back, give it to the kitchen, and you will fry it and send it to the front yard. Even though the old lady fried the medicine according to the Qingdai during her last few days, the girl in the kitchen pointed out that every day It was you who unpacked the medicine bag and put the medicinal materials into the medicine pot last time, and then Zhaoqing continued to fry it. Could it be that my wife and Zhaoqing were greedy for this little profit and went to replace the Qingdai?!"

"Young one, I dare not think so. My wife and the young master will never do this, but, my little one, I am really wronged. This..." Niu Li has never been a smooth-talking person. Yes, she is a country woman, facing such a situation, she has nothing to do but cry.

Niu Geng hugged his mother tightly in his arms, seeing his mother in her 50s who had suffered such a great grievance, although he felt distressed, there was nothing he could do, so he could only complain that he was useless and couldn't protect her well.

This innocent disaster fell on the heads of the two women, almost knocking them unconscious. Niu Geng knelt in the front hall, and felt for the first time that the Xue family mansion was extremely ferocious. He seemed to have fallen into a huge ice hole. It was the same inside, instead of being rescued, the people around them stood at the entrance of the cave, watching them grinning grinningly.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, I don't want to say anything more." Xue Qian only felt a headache, and seeing the two kneeling in front of him felt even more depressed: "You guys leave from Xue's house, because you two are in the mansion It's been so long, and I don't want to pursue anything more, but our Xue family can't tolerate such ungrateful people, Xue Fu, pay them this month's monthly money, and send them away quickly, I don't want to see these girls again. "After that, Xue Gan left the front hall without turning his head, leaving only Niu Geng and his wife kneeling on the ground with chills all over their bodies.
