Seeing that the last maid also put a golden hairpin she kept privately into the box, Jiang Xuening finally nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Boyou glanced at the "Children Learning Qionglin" in her hand, coughed, and asked tentatively: "Have they spit out everything they took, do you want some?"
point?
Would you like to order this enlightenment book?
Jiang Xuening was able to say some things that Yan Lin gave her on her eighteenth birthday to bluff people, it was already the limit, how would she know if there were more?
So she just said: "They must have not returned the things. I think many people have taken things out and exchanged them for pawns, but it would be too embarrassing for them to take out anything more. I don't care about these two boxes. It’s okay to beat them so that they don’t dare to be presumptuous in the future. What does father want?”
It's a bit heavy to pick up and put down gently.
Jiang Boyou frowned: "Will you not punish me?"
Jiang Xuening thought for a moment, looked at the maids who were kneeling in the courtyard again, and said: "They were assigned to my room after being taught by the mansion. There were rules, and when they were in front of my daughter They are all flattering and flattering, and their skill in serving people is not bad. Even if they are asked to come out and kneel, except for a few, they dare not come out and talk back. There are many people in the world who bully the weak and fear the hard, and they are all 'mediocre'. In the final analysis, the daughter is too talkative, too indulgent, and thinks too much, and can't allow others to say a word about the people in my house. So the daughter thought, why not give them a chance. This time, I went down to get five boards each. , a fine of two months, and it’s fine to serve him wholeheartedly and not commit another crime. If he commits another crime, he will bring out the new and old ones and settle them together, and deal with them directly.”
These words sounded plain, but Jiang Boyou had mixed feelings in his ears.
Ning girl has really grown up...
I thought she would go to war and was afraid of fighting, but I didn't expect that in addition to looking for other people's faults, she would also reflect on her own faults, and being so outspoken, she suddenly became a bit more open and upright.
The important thing is not to lose the benevolence of the house.
Although this method cannot be said to be swift and resolute, but why does the daughter's family need such a powerful wrist?
Jiang Boyou looked at this daughter, unknowingly how much more pleasing to the eye than before, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, I will do as you said."
Jiang Xuening's heart was calm and unruffled.
Of course, she is not completely pure and kind-hearted, but she has experienced the previous life and deeply understands the truth of "keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future".
Just like Yan Lin back then.
Of course she insisted on being that queen, even if the Yongyihou's mansion did not lose its power, she would choose to marry Shen Jie in the end, but why did she have to say such an absolute word, and why did she choose to say it at that juncture?
Words are dead, and people are dead.
If she had Yan Lin hating herself, it was completely reasonable for Yan Lin to bully her even if she gained power.
There are two things in this world that are best not to do, one is to bully young people poor, and the other is to force mad dogs to jump over the wall.
Dealing with these maids and mothers-in-law is the same as the latter.
One is that mediocrity is the same, it is better to keep these people who already know their mistakes and are more cautious in their words and deeds if they change to a new one; The hatred is on her, and she has been serving her for so long, and her mistakes are not enough to kill them. If a person speaks out alone, who knows what he will say?
What's more, sometimes not dealing with it may not be worse than dealing with it.
When many people brought back things just now, they must have hidden some secrets. Some people gave more, and some people gave less.
Jiang Xuening didn't know how much each of them had taken, and she didn't bother to check it out.
But they may not be suspicious of each other.
You think she hides too much, and she thinks I take too little, and after it's over, I turn around and pick it up by myself, it's natural that I should suffer.
If anything happens at that time, I can't hate her.
In this way, she can be clean, gain a good name, and please Jiang Boyou, so why not do it?
It should be known that if he wants to leave the mansion in the future, Jiang Boyou has to agree.
Jiang Xuening thought about it, and asked Chang Zhuo to order someone to bring a brazier, then stood up and faced everyone: "Did you all hear what I said just now?"
Everyone below trembled: "Listen clearly."
Jiang Xuening said unhurriedly: "What kind of temper am I? You have been serving me for a long time, and I always know. This time I take three points of the blame on my own. I don't really feel that I have any faults, but I think most of you have some mistakes. The elderly need to be taken care of. I can’t bear to let you be sold out because of this. It’s hard to find a good family if you have a bad reputation. I’m used to you. If you make a mistake the second time, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."
Wang Xing's family fell on the ground in front of them, shivering fiercely.
The courtyard was quiet.
There were a lot of servants and servants who came to watch quietly in the surrounding corners, and their hearts trembled when they heard the words: This second girl seems to have become different. If anyone doesn't serve her wholeheartedly in the future, she might be as good as she is now. Like those kneeling on the ground, they couldn't eat and walked away.
Jiang Xuening raised her hand to pick up the "account book", and walked to the brazier.
The hot air that came up engulfed his face.
She threw the book directly into the brazier, and Ming Huang licked up the pages with a bright red tongue of flame, swallowed it, and burned it quickly.
Everyone who was kneeling down watched and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xuening only said: "This time the matter will come to an end, no further involvement, no further investigation. You all go down and receive the punishment."
Wang Xing's family immediately kowtowed to the ground and flattered: "The second girl is really a bodhisattva with a heart of kindness, and the old slaves and these girls can meet a master like you. It's smoke from the ancestral grave that burned for three lifetimes." Gao Xiang! This is the penalty, this is the penalty..."
The others are also very grateful.
After a while, all went down to receive the punishment.
Lian'er and Tang'er were both literate, and they knew what their girl wrote in the "account book" just now, and they were stunned to see this development. Even Chang Zhuo, who was waiting next to him, couldn't help but look at Jiang Xuening with a look of "I'll just take this book and talk nonsense and scare people".
Jiang Xuening's gaze stayed on those maids for a moment.
She turned her eyes and asked Tang'er softly: "Who was the one who knelt down and talked back just now?"
Tang'er was startled, and thought about it for a while.
There was only one person who talked back in that situation just now.
She replied: "It is also possible to enter the house to serve, called Tianxiang."
Jiang Xuening nodded.
After this good show ended, she was not in a hurry to leave immediately, but followed Jiang Boyou to get up, and walked back to the outer room of the study.
Jiang Boyou saw it: "You want to deal with that girl?"
Jiang Xuening frowned slightly, nodded slightly, but lowered her head again, and said: "The people next to me are okay, they don't have any skills, at most they just bully the weak and fear the hard. But this sweet tooth is very eloquent, and he can speak with one mouth. My daughter just now I was almost speechless by her words. If my daughter didn't do those things, I'm afraid I would think it was my fault after hearing what she said. It's just that one agreed and won't pursue it, and the other daughter didn't do it before. Having dealt with similar matters, I really don’t know how to deal with her.”
Jiang Boyou also saw the scene just now.
That maid who talked back was someone who would bite when pushed, and the others were still somewhat afraid of Jiang Xuening, but this maid was so arrogant that she didn't seem to care about her master at all.
It's probably a curse to stay.
He already had a plan in his mind, and he just gestured directly to Chang Zhuo, but he didn't know what to say.
Although the Jiang family is not considered a very big family in the capital, they know some tricks in the house.
Chang Zhuo understood.
He responded: "I have written it down, little one."
Jiang Boyou stroked Jiang Xuening's back with his hands, and said to her: "This matter has come to an end, this girl will be taken care of by herself, so you don't have to worry about it. But speaking of it, today's words and deeds are also small things. Master Hou taught it?"
Of course not.
Jiang Boyou then sighed: "There are successors in the residence of the Marquis of Yongyi."
Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Boyou said quickly: "You are tired too, go back and rest. I didn't come back last night, and today there is such a big commotion. Remember to say hello to your mother tonight, so that she can rest assured."
Jiang Xuening replied: "Yes."
This is the end of the conversation between the father and daughter who are not particularly close.
She bowed and said goodbye.
Jiang Boyou lifted the curtain again to go to the inner room of your study, and laughed, "Ju An, have you been waiting for a long time?"
At this moment, Jiang Xuening, who had only taken a step back, was stunned.
A chill crawled from the feet to the head!
It was clearly just two simple words, but when they hit her ears, they screamed sharply, blasting out a shocking sound!
She turned her eyes, just in time to catch a glimpse of the corner of the study room revealed when the curtain was lifted: on the exquisitely carved tea table, there was a roll of books spread out, a slender, well-boned hand stretched out, and gently flipped through the books. Passing a page, the pad of the ring finger habitually and lightly stroked along the edge of the page, very naturally, and then pressed weakly against the corner of the page.
Jiang Xuening is so familiar with this action!
Whether it was when she entered the palace to accompany him to listen to his lectures in the previous life, or later when she became a queen, she accidentally stepped into the cabinet to watch him deal with the affairs of state with Shen Jie, or after Shen Jie was poisoned, she walked through the imperial garden in shock. But found that he was sitting in the booth reading the memorial...
This man's gestures are natural and elegant.
Even when killing people without blinking an eye, they are instantly beautiful.
Xie Wei, the word Juan!
In this short moment, all the memories related to this person in Jiang Xuening's mind surged up in fear!
Thinking of You Fangyin saying: "There was a huge secret in the previous court, but anyone with a brain knows it, and they won't make mistakes. It's a pity, I know it too late..."
Remember the ending of your previous life.
She remembered the old scar on her wrist that could not be erased until now!
Jiang Boyou had already walked in.
The curtain fell again.
But Jiang Xuening's world was extremely quiet, and he could hear conversations coming from inside.
Jiang Boyou sighed: "Oh, it was Ning girl's business just now. She has been worrying me for a long time, but I didn't expect to be clear about it this time. You are not a father, so you must not know how it feels. Speaking of which, when you went to Beijing secretly, or With her. In the blink of an eye, it has been four years!"
The man opposite him seemed silent for a moment.
Then he opened his mouth lightly, his voice was like a deep spring hitting a rock, low and magnetic: "Miss Ning Er..."
At this moment, Chang Zhuo from behind also came in with incense.
The curtain was lifted again by a corner.
Jiang Xuening then clearly saw the corner of the robe covered with sky-blue crepe, and with a slight movement, the person sitting by the tea table turned sideways towards the door curtain.
Even if she couldn't see his face, nor could she touch his gaze, but at this moment, she could clearly feel that he was looking at her who was still standing outside the study!
It is clearly separated by the door curtain, but it seems to be able to come out through the curtain.
Jiang Xuening only felt that her heart was suddenly grabbed by a huge palm, and she almost couldn't even breathe!
Today, everyone knows that the young prince Xie Wei entered the capital secretly four years ago to assist the then third prince Shen Lang to ascend to the throne; , secretly assisting Xie Wei to enter the capital, no matter how big or small, he can be regarded as a hero.
Few people know—
At that time, Jiang Boyou falsely claimed that he was a distant relative of the Jiang family, so that he went to Beijing with his legitimate daughter who was living in Tongzhou. Later, Xie Wei, the emperor's teacher who planned a strategy to turn the tide, hid in Jiang Xuening's car at that time!
Everyone else is called "Second Miss Jiang", but Xie Wei is the only one who is different from others, so he wants to call him "Second Miss Ning"...
Jiang Xuening has made countless calculations, but how can she figure out that the "noble guest" in Jiang Boyou's study today is Xie Wei?
She should have been alerted earlier.
How many people in the ruling and opposition parties dared to leave Zhou Yinzhi outside without saying a word, and let him wait without saying a word or complaining?
Jiang Xuening didn't know how she got out of the study.
All she knew was that her steps were smoother, calmer than ever.
It wasn't until she left the study room and entered the corridor, seeing that she was about to return to her own room, that her feet suddenly softened, and she stumbled without warning, and helped the pillar next to her, with a pale face, Sitting slumped on the porch.
wrong.
As soon as he was reborn, he made a fatal mistake!
She will always remember the scene when she first met Xie Wei.
The man who hadn't recovered from the wind and cold, with a sick face, dressed in white cloth without any frills, holding a piano, looked a bit sleepy, but with a smile on his lips, walked to the carriage and nodded slightly to her.
At that time, she didn't know that this person would become the emperor's teacher who would later rule the country, let alone that this person would slaughter the entire royal family...
If she knew, during that part of the journey, she might choose to restrain her bad temper and treat this person better.
No…
If she knew, she would never use that half bowl of blood as medicine for him when the barren mountains and mountains were in danger!
In the previous life, when his sword was aimed at the Xiao family and the royal family, she once asked Xie Wei how he dared to do such a thing that harmed nature and disregarded human life.
Xie Wei used the vermilion imperial pen to lightly mark a line on the list, and then replied: "You are not heaven, how do you know that I am hurting heaven and harming justice, not doing justice for heaven?"
Jiang Xuening was completely stunned.
He put down his pen again, and looked at her quietly: "As for your empress, it is Xie's greatest kindness to be able to live to this day. Back then, I was ill and confused, and I once confided some treacherous words to my empress. Fortunately, my empress was at that time I have a bad memory, and I have no plans. After I entered Beijing, I ordered people to test me three times, but my mother had no impression. I was relieved just now, and my mother lived for two years. Otherwise, the day when Xie Feng, a young teacher , Empress is decapitated."
At that time, he smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked lightly on his neck.
Jiang Xuening felt that her whole body was immersed in ice water.
But his smiling expression was even more chilling than the night at that time.
In other words, Xie Wei didn't kill her after entering Beijing because she didn't remember and was not smart!
Now these words echoed in my ears again, recalling the meaningful "Second Miss Ning", Jiang Xuening raised her hand and put it on her neck, only to realize that the temperature of her fingertips had lost. Trembling!
Xie Wei is not a kind person.
In the last two years of his previous life, his name was like a huge and heavy shadow, covering the entire court and the entire imperial city, making people bow their heads in fear even when walking.
Seeing her so frightened, Tang'er and Lian'er panicked: "Miss, what's the matter with you!"
Jiang Xuening doesn't remember what those treacherous words are now, but she knows more after being reborn, and this does not prevent her from judging the situation she may fall into soon.
Xie Wei will kill.
The almost unconscious fingers slowly lowered.
She blinked her eyes, her voice was in a trance: "Tang'er, go back and see if Zhou Yinzhi is still there..."
