Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Xue Baochai flipped through the five or six red and blue booklets presented by Yun Shu, flipped through them slightly, and then threw these things in front of Li Daren with a smile, with a biting coldness in his tone: "Two Butler, just take a look. Are there any mistakes in the above records? Here are some "good" things you have done since you became the second housekeeper in the mansion. It really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that the second steward, a small family servant, has more power than the head of the Xue family? He dared to steal my father's seal and give away money. Everyone said It's really good to be so brave... Oh, look at what I said, it's really insulting to compare you, the second housekeeper, to a dog. After all, dogs have always been representatives of loyal ministers. At best, you are nothing more than a Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf..."

Compared with Xue Gui's inaction, although Li Daren is the second housekeeper of the Xue family, he is actually no different from the chief housekeeper?Therefore, whether it is scheming or confidence, although he did have some panic in his heart when he saw the account book, he is also a treacherous person after all, and he quickly calmed himself down. He said, "I don't know what this girl means? It's too ridiculous to just get a few account books and say they are evidence of my crime. The last three generations of my Li family have been serving in the mansion. Yes, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. The girl framed me like this now? Isn't it too chilling?"

It's no wonder that although this Li Daren is only the second housekeeper, he holds the real power in the mansion, and he can also make Xue Gui, the big housekeeper, not target him. This mouth is really like a clever parrot, eloquent.Seeing him like this, he can say black is white. If he hadn't known his true face a long time ago, his behavior would really make people think that he was wronged.

Although Xue Baochai had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her beautiful apricot eyes: "Framed? It really is a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. I don't think you intend to admit it no matter what. It's okay, anyway. In my heart, it doesn't matter if you recognize it or not." Anyway, the ending has already been decided: "Speaking of which, Butler Li is such a clever tongue. If I'm not here, I really know who you are. After hearing all these words, I thought I wronged you. It's a pity, it's not."

"Miss, what exactly do you want?" Li Daren looked at Xue Baochai, obviously not planning to let him go, gritted his teeth, and asked.

"Giving profiteering money, slaves bullying the master, corrupting the law, taking advantage of power to bully others, robbing people's daughters, and forcing them into prostitution. Look at your crimes, just picking out one of them is enough to kill you. How do you think I will deal with you? "Xue Baochai glanced at Li Daren, then moved his fingers and said.

Li Daren is not considered an idiot, seeing Xue Baochai like this, he knew that Xue Baochai did not intend to let him go today.Looking at Xue Pan, who was on the side, his voice seemed to be somewhat sad, and he shouted: "Master, the master has gone. You are the head of the Xue family. Why should you come to this mansion?" Make the decision. Don't you think it's too disrespectful for a girl who has not left the cabinet to act like this?"

He really didn't know how to repent when he was about to die, but he still wanted to provoke.It's just that he was afraid that he might not understand Xue Pan's character?Seeing Li Daren like this, Xue Baochai thought of it with a sneer.

Xue Pan looked sideways at Li Daren, and said: "Father has already said it before he died. Before my sister leaves the cabinet, the inner house in the mansion should be taken care of by my sister. She will organize the mansion and deal with the slaves, of course there is no No problem. I listen to my sister in everything here." Although Xue Pan is not as smart as his sister, he can clearly distinguish the relationship between close and distant.

Hearing Xue Pan's words, Li Daren was filled with old blood and had internal injuries.In the past, he was very satisfied with Xue Pan being so stupid and stupid. Thinking of Xue Pan being so inexperienced and stupid, he got Xue Gui away in the future. It's not him who has the final say.But now he felt that Xue Pan was really stupid.

The meaning of what he said was already so obvious, but this Xue Pan couldn't understand it at all, and he said everything stupidly and listened to his sister.

It's downright stupid.

"Yun Shu, you took a letter from here and the things I prepared. Send these slaves to the governor of Jinling together. Tell me their crimes one by one. Let the governor not be merciful How to deal with it?" Xue Baochai waved his hand, and someone blocked Li Daren's mouth again.Turning his head, he said to Yun Shu.After thinking for a while, I added another sentence: "Earlier, I heard from my second uncle that there was a shortage of manpower in the Northwest Bitter Kiln to do the work. If Mr. Fu Yin can't think of how to arrange it, send them there. Also It can be regarded as doing some good deeds for the common people." If it wasn't for Father Xue's death not long ago and it is not easy to commit crimes, it would be based on the messy things that Li Daren has done in these years.It is not an exaggeration to kill directly.

As soon as they heard Xue Baochai's words, the people who were tied up immediately began to resist, but they were all tied up with hemp rope, unable to move, and their mouths were also stuffed, so they couldn't speak.He could only twist his body and make a humming sound.

"Look, I'm so happy to be silly. Yun Shu, hurry up and take the people away so that they can go on the road as soon as possible." Xue Baochai pretended not to see their terrified or begging eyes.

Come now for fear of regret, it's too late.

"Yes, girl." Yun Shu blessed his body and answered.Then he directed the young servants, regardless of the struggle of those people, they all pressed down and went to the Jinling government office.

Take away Li Daren and other slaves who should be dealt with.

"Sister, after dealing with Li Daren's slaves, what shall we do next?" Xue Pan scratched his head honestly, and asked so.

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan, who had finally avoided and got rid of the image of the arrogant, domineering and bullying second-generation ancestor under his own training, although he might have overcorrected a bit, which made his image a little simple and honest.But it's better than being a dandy who walks around with cats and dogs.He smiled and said: "The next step is to bother my brother and direct the servants to search the homes of Li Daren and other servants who bully the master."

"Okay, I got it." Xue Pan was naturally martial, but in the past few years, Xue Baochai had been stricter and changed a lot, but his nature remained the same. Get excited here.

"Asparagus, you also go with the uncle and help keep the booklets." Xue Baochai turned her head and said to a pretty little maid again.

Asparagus immediately took two steps forward, blessed his body, and replied.

If you are a more thoughtful person, you may have a knot in your heart at this time, thinking that Xue Baochai has the power all by himself, and even such a small matter needs to be followed by someone.However, Xue Pan didn't have this kind of mind, and he couldn't think of it. He even scratched his head and said naively: "Your sister is thoughtful." A boy left.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai smiled.Compared with those cunning people, she still thinks people with Xue Pan's character are cuter.

After Xue Pan disappeared, he tilted his head and said to Yunjuan, "Yunjuan, go to Fushoutang and tell Ruyi that if there is any person who shouldn't appear in front of mother, I will definitely not leave half a point. For the sake of sympathy, just stick to death." At the end of the words, there was a gloomy coldness.

"Yes, girl." Yunjuan Fushen replied, but he did not mention it.

"Hua Ling, ask someone to clean these up. Boil some wormwood water and sprinkle it on. Don't be contaminated with bad luck." Xue Baochai looked at the courtyard that was a little messy because of just now, and ordered.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, with millions of dollars in wealth. As the only daughter of the Xue family, Xue Baochai has been surrounded by a lot of maids and wives since childhood.Besides Yunshu Yunjuan's two big maids who were serving close to her, there were four second-class maids Hualing, Asparagus, Marigold, and Mujin, as well as dozens of third-class maids who ran errands and cleaned up, as well as nurses.

"Yes, Miss." Hua Ling is one year younger than Xue Baochai, she is only ten years old today, but she is smart and calm, and among the four second-class girls, Xue Baochai values ​​her the most.

Xue Baochai nodded and left with the girl.

It's just here that I came out of the courtyard, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old acting a bit sneaky, frowned, and shouted first: "Stop for me."

It's just that her sound didn't make the girl stop, on the contrary, it made her quicken her pace, and nodded to Jinzhan sideways.

Jinzhan got Xue Baochai's intention, and immediately directed the two women to walk over quickly, and brought the girl back.

"Who am I? You are so courageous that you can ignore my words, so it is you." Xue Baochai's memory was strong, and when Jinzhan brought someone to her, she immediately recognized it. , this is Xue Gui's second daughter, named Liu Xia.Worked in the sewing room.But it is said that she is working in the sewing room, but because she is the daughter of the housekeeper, she only has a name and receives monthly money, but she has never sewed a thread.She even has a domineering and aggressive temper, and likes to bully others, causing many girls and women to complain to her.However, because of his father, he could only mutter behind his back and dare not do anything.

Speaking of which, the reason why she let Xue Gui's family go this time.It's not that Xue Gui's charges are much less than Li Daren's.It was because Xue Gui's ancestor had made great achievements in the past. Father Xue obviously knew Xue Baochai well enough. When he was seriously ill, he told himself that if he wanted to take care of the servants in the mansion in the future, he would spare Xue Gui's life.Therefore, Xue Baochai just passed Xue Gui and didn't mention it when he started this time.

Of course, she didn't say anything, but it didn't mean she just let Xue Gui go, she had already decided where Xue Gui would go.

As Xue Gui's daughter, Liu Xia has the same good looks as her mother, Hu Shi, but she has the same brains as her father, she is a typical vase girl.She was brought to Xue Baochai by her mother-in-law, and she didn't feel anything wrong when she heard Xue Baochai's words. She even smiled and said, "It's a big girl. I don't know how to call the servant girl, but what are your orders?"

"Slap your mouth." Xue Baochai said lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman immediately responded, took a step forward, and slapped Liu Xia forcefully.

Although Liuxia is only a member of the sewing room, because she is the daughter of the big housekeeper Xue Gui, she is treated more respectably in Xue's residence than Yunjuan Yunshu, the eldest girl next to Xue Baochai.It was the first time since I was born to be slapped like this.Therefore, she was stunned immediately.

A pair of eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"Nurse Tang, teach her the rules of being a slave." Xue Baochai said coldly.

Immediately, a woman in her early forties stepped forward, and Fushen answered.

Xue Baochai pointed to the two women who were thicker than ordinary men, "You two stay here and listen to Madam Tang's orders." Then she turned her head slightly and said to Nanny Tang: "If she dares to make any changes, or If you are disobedient, Mother Tang doesn't have to show mercy here."

"Yes, this old slave knows." Nanny Tang answered with her head bowed.

Xue Baochai glanced sideways at Liuxia who seemed to have not recovered, and then left without looking sideways.After walking for a while, Xue Baochai sneered when he heard Liuxia's sharp voice.

After dealing with Li Daren and other servants, it's time to talk about Xue Gui, the big housekeeper.
