Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, and said:

"What do you think about the cutting of manpower, boss and second brother?"

In fact, Jia Amnesty had long wanted to bring this matter up to Mother Jia while he was free, but he had been busy with the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion before, so he delayed it. At this time, of course he agreed, so he told Mother Jia said:

"Mother, my son thinks the proposal of the sister-in-law is good. It is impossible for us masters to support others on an empty stomach. Those who can be laid off should be laid off!"

Jia Zheng never cared about these miscellaneous matters in the government, as long as they don't affect his life, he also said:

"It's fine for you, mother, to decide these things, and the son has no objection."

Mother Jia has always liked Jia Zheng's son, and she was even happier when she heard him say that, but when she thought of cutting off the manpower and seeing the Rongguo Mansion fall under her own hands, her heart became heavy again!

But thinking of her own empty private treasury, even if Mother Jia doesn't want to lay off people, she can't help her, unless she can provide money to maintain the daily expenses of the house.

Glancing at the people in the room waiting for her to make a decision, Mother Jia said:

"It's not impossible to lay off people, but there must be a charter, right? Who will stay and who will be sent out of the house, you go back and make a list for me, after discussing it, let's do it!"

Seeing that Mother Jia had let go, Mrs. Wang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the old lady insisted on not cutting the manpower at this time, then they really don't know what to do!

After making this decision, Mother Jia seemed to have lost all energy and energy, and suddenly became sluggish. She said to the people in the room:

"Okay, you go back and discuss it, list the names of those people who you think need to be laid off, and show me later, if you think there is no problem, let them go out from the government!

There is no need for their redemption money. See what is in the mansion, and try to compensate them as much as possible, and return their deeds of sale to them. "

Wang Xifeng and the others agreed, and flattered:

"You are still a kind-hearted ancestor, I believe those servants will be grateful to you, ancestor."

As for whether those slaves are willing to be released from the mansion, it is not their master who cares. What they care about is how much the mansion can reduce the cost of spending after releasing a group of people, and whether their lives can be better.

After Mother Jia asked everyone to disperse, Li Mo went back thinking how many people he could take this opportunity to let out. At this time, letting them leave the mansion with the deed of sale was better than waiting until the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked. The outcome of being sold by the government is good. Although I know what will happen to the master I meet after being sold by the government, I will lose my life if I am not careful.

Li Mo was thinking about who should be let out, and Jia She was thinking about the same problem. Not to mention, the fact that Ningguo Mansion was ransacked made his sense of crisis unprecedentedly high.

If he didn't know that his wife and children would not be able to escape even if he sent them away in advance, he would have wanted to send Li Mo and Heng An away, and stay alone to let the Holy One be convicted.

It's a pity that this method doesn't work, but you can also take this opportunity to release some of your confidants out of the mansion. Jia Amnesty is not worried that once their deed of sale is returned, they will turn their backs and deny them, and they may betray them in the future he.

But the Holy Majesty must have known about these things in the mansion, if they really did these ungrateful things, Jia Amnesty would not be afraid to recite more.

Anyway, how to convict depends on the Holy Majesty's will, it doesn't make much difference if there is more or less.

When the news of layoffs in the mansion was made by Mother Jia and the others, all the people in the Rongguo Mansion were talking about it. Those who were valued by the master were fine, but the other servants felt a little uneasy. up.

Most of the servants in the Rongguo Mansion don't really want to be released. Although the Rongguo Mansion is not as good as before, it is better than ordinary people. If they are released, who knows what they will have to face?The unknown is always scary.

All of a sudden, people in the Rongguo Mansion were fluctuating, and those with relationships and favors all sought out connections or solicited connections, and used money to bribe some capable people around the masters, hoping that they could speak well for themselves and their families in front of the masters, and not be punished. Let go of the house.

Dafang Li Mo was also begged by many people to come in front of him. Li Mo didn't see him, and told the people in the yard that if anyone wanted to leave the mansion, he would take this opportunity to let them go.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a commoner and being free. In addition, they can save some money in the mansion these years, so going out to live is not as terrible as they think.

Li Mo had asked Xiaoyin and the others for their opinions, and seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Li Mo decided to release most of the people in the courtyard, leaving only a few rough envoys and Xiaoyin by his side.

Hearing Li Mo's decision, Xiaomei and Qiuhe quickly knelt on the ground and begged Li Mo to take back this decision. They really didn't want to leave Li Mo's place. Even if they left the mansion, they would definitely be bullied. Stay by Li Mo's side and continue to serve her. In the end, they don't even need the monthly money. They just hope that Li Mo can keep them.

Li Mo looked at the few people kneeling in front of him, and said in a helpless tone:

"Well, I'll return your deeds of sale to you, but after you go out, you will stay in the villa outside for a period of time. If nothing happens after a while, I will bring you back and continue to serve me, so that you how do you feel?"

Hearing that Li Mo took a step back and planned to pick them up, it was just to live in the Zhuangzi outside the mansion for a while. What else were they unwilling to do? They quickly agreed, for fear that Li Mo would regret it when he went back. Send them out and leave them alone.

Li Mo dealt with the people in his yard, and recorded all the people who didn't need much in the Dafang side, plus the people who needed to be released in Jia Amnesty's side, this time the Dafang side was almost emptied by 80.00% There are only one or two staff left, even Heng An's servants.

Jia Amnesty did something that surprised Li Mo this time. He released almost all the concubines in his backyard from the mansion, and gave them a sum of money to settle down. If someone has a place If they go, they will be sent to send them there.

Even for those concubines who have nowhere to go, Jia Amnesty has someone buy them a few small villages. It's good if they are willing to live there. If they don't want to, he will not force them, and they can make their own arrangements.

Of course, there were also some concubines who were reluctant to leave Rongguo Mansion and begged Jia Amnesty to keep them. Seeing Jia Amnesty's firm attitude, Li Mo also ignored the matter.

They sued directly to Mother Jia, not saying that Jia Amnesty forced them to leave the house, but that Li Mo, the housewife, could not tolerate them and asked them to drive them out of the house, begging the old lady to make decisions for them.

When Mother Jia asked Li Mo to come over, Li Mo knew what was going on when he saw Jia Amnesty's concubines. Before Mother Jia asked him to ask, Li Mo said in a very bachelor way:

"Old Ancestor, you are looking for me because of their affairs, right? The daughter-in-law is innocent. It is the master's decision to let them go out of the house, but I don't care about the daughter-in-law's affairs. After all these years, the daughter-in-law is used to it. If you want to do something to them, you have to do it a long time ago, why do you have to wait until today?"

Mother Jia didn't quite believe what Li Mo said, any wife in charge would be happy to see her husband add people to the room one by one, as long as she seized the opportunity, she would like to deal with all those enchanting ones.

I think that's how Jia's mother dealt with those individuals in Jia Daishan's house at the beginning. When Jia Daishan was still alive, he could still allow those people to exist, but he didn't allow other women except her to give birth to sons to compete with their sons for family property. .

Some secret means were used to cause those concubines who were pregnant with boys to have miscarriages or various accidents. Except for those who were left with daughters, there was no good end for the others.

Mother Jia has this attitude towards her husband's women, but it doesn't mean that she allows her son's daughter-in-law to use this method to deal with those women who deal with her son. It is best to have more children and more blessings.

Jia Mu is old, but it doesn't mean she is really confused. She said in a voice that couldn't hear the emotion:

"Oh, then tell me why the boss let everyone out of his backyard for no reason, don't tell me you didn't instigate him."

Li Mo said with a look of injustice:

"Old Ancestor, you really misunderstood my daughter-in-law, how can I win over the master, if you don't believe me, I have no objection to keeping these people with my wife.

I just heard that the master is going to release all the people in the backyard. My daughter-in-law, I am also very surprised. If everyone is released, who will serve the master in the future?

These sisters are also pitiful. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you let you go out alone, you may not know what will happen in the future. The master's consideration is really not thorough. Think about it. one out. "

In Li Mo's heart, he really wished that these people who had tripped him up before would be left behind, so let everyone be unlucky together!What's the point of being alone with no one for company? Since they want to stay so much, I'm actually very happy.
