Chapter 387 Pick

Throughout the day, Ye Yunshui was immersed in the secrets of the royal family that Qin Murong and her talked about.

Last night, she and Qin Murong had been sitting in the bamboo grove, cuddling each other, listening to him talking about the past, and as soon as the sky was bright, Qin Murong took people out of the city.

Ye Yunshui knew that he was going out of the city to meet the four generals under Prince Zhuang, and before leaving, he only kissed his forehead.

She didn't ask him if he was in danger, because it would be difficult for him to answer, she just stood in the depths of the bamboo forest and waited silently for his return.

Hua'er didn't see Ye Yunshui back to the main house early in the morning, and took the little maids to surround them with felt blankets in the bamboo forest, put breakfast vegetables and fruits, boiled a pot of hot tea, snack books, and saw that the stone chair was not comfortable, and let the servants We moved a beautiful woman collapsed.

Ye Yunshui sat on the couch, covered the felt blanket, and simply stayed in the bamboo forest, reading a book while waiting for Qin Murong to return.

At this moment, she just wanted to let her thoughts go quietly, but she was hiding from the matter, but this matter always chased her.

Before noon, Hu Tao came back and said that Mother Wei had brought the family members of the dead man to see her.

Ye Yunshui had forgotten about it, but when the person came, she had to see her, "...bring him here, I really don't want to move." At this moment, she really didn't want to do anything.

After a while, Nanny Wei followed Hu Tao, followed by a young woman and three children.

Mother Wei greeted Ye Yunshui with a smile, and ordered the women and children beside her to kneel and kowtow, "This is the Crown Princess, why don't you kneel and kowtow!"

The young woman quickly scolded the three children, "Kowtow!"

The three children looked up at Ye Yunshui in bewilderment, and the young woman pushed her head down the next moment...

After the ceremony, the young woman took the children back to the side, and Madam Wei came forward and said flatteringly, "The new house of Shizi Concubine has a very nice view, this old slave has never seen such a beautiful garden!"

Ye Yunshui only lowered the corner of his mouth slightly, and turned his gaze to the young woman, "What's your name?"

"The man who died is Liu Er." Madam Wei interrupted suddenly.

Hua'er glared at her, and Nanny Wei continued to smile, but with a hint of embarrassment.

Ye Yunshui didn't look at Nanny Wei, but sized up the second daughter-in-law Liu.

There are no patches on the coarse blue cloth and white flower clothes, and the three children are also wearing coarse cloth, which has faded from the starch.

Ye Yunshui hesitated for a long time and asked the second daughter-in-law of Liu directly, "Will the firm compensate you for the second Liu's family?"

"The commercial bank only gave three taels of silver, of which two taels were wage arrears, and the other one tael was the funeral expenses collected by the slave man's fellow workers." Liu Er's daughter-in-law spoke neatly without dragging her feet.

"The deed before the work did not say how much the accidental burial fee is?" Ye Yunshui asked casually, and also wanted to know more about the Qingfeng firm.

"My family is illiterate, but I heard from the men of my family that the business doesn't care about casualties." Liu Er's wife only thought that Ye Yunshui was unwilling to pay money, and pleaded:

"The slave family didn't want to blackmail, but the slave family's house was rented, and they used to rely on Liu Eryi for their livelihood. Now the slave family only lives by washing and washing clothes. There is also a sick mother-in-law and three children. Now Earning three taels of silver is enough to pay the rent in arrears, life is really difficult, I just hope that the concubine Shizi can give the slave family a bite of food!"

"Then how much money do you plan to ask me for?" Ye Yunshui glanced at Wei Nanny out of the corner of her eye, but Wei Nanny was winking at the Liu family.

The second daughter-in-law Liu felt Mammy Wei's gaze, but she turned her body around, "As long as I have a place to live, I can treat my mother-in-law's illness and support my children!"

Ye Yunshui looked at the three children, two boys and one girl, the older one was only six years old, and the younger one was just able to walk... This Liu Er's wife is not very old, so it's okay if she didn't leave the children and mother-in-law behind to remarry. Consider some backbone.

"It is said that when Liu Er came to work in the mansion, he also signed a contract with the commercial company. Even if something happened to our mansion, it would not be our mansion's turn to pay for the money, but you are orphans and widows. I feel pity for you... But before I I heard you want 100 taels?"

After Ye Yunshui said this, he looked straight at Wei Nanny, but saw a hint of joy flashing across her face, and immediately hid it and put on a surprised look, "Shizi Concubine, what Yan Nanny said to this old slave is How did 20 taels of silver become 100 taels?"

Ye Yunshui gave her a sideways glance, Wei Nanny opened her mouth and hurriedly stepped aside, Liu Er's wife was a little flustered, she looked at Wei Nanny with resentment in her eyes, "It's all about Wei Guanshi teaching the slave's house. Generally speaking! My family has never seen 100 taels of silver in this life, and I don’t have the idea of ​​greedy for money. The 20 taels of silver was given to my family by the Yan mother, and the amount is not much. She said that the mother in charge can make the decision..." The second daughter-in-law Liu hesitated at this point, she moved her lips and did not dare to continue.

"You naughty woman, what are you doing Huqin?" Seeing Liu's second daughter-in-law biting her out, Mammy Wei couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, pointing at her and scolding her.

Liu Er's daughter-in-law said firmly: "If my family tells half a lie, it will be struck by lightning!"

Wei Mama wanted to defend herself again, but Hua'er scolded her back: "Why did you interrupt the concubine Shizi without asking questions? You are also the mama in charge, why are you so ignorant of the rules?"

The second daughter-in-law Liu saw that Hua'er dared to scold Nanny Wei, she didn't know what she was thinking, she knelt on the ground and said to Ye Yunshui: "My family knows that the concubine is a kind person, so I dare not ask the concubine to reward me with money. , I can starch and wash clothes, I can sew and mend, and I can do everything!"

Liu Er's daughter-in-law knelt in front of Ye Yunshui again, and those little kids stepped forward and grabbed her clothes, and also knelt down beside her in a daze, those immature faces obviously didn't know why they had to kneel...

"Nurse Yan asked you to ask for 20 taels of silver, and Nanny Wei asked you to ask for 100 taels... Then why didn't you do what they said?" Ye Yunshui said this very calmly, and Nanny Wei peeked at Ye Yunshui's expression , didn't dare to interrupt suddenly, but she seemed anxious because of Ye Yunshui's question. After such a short time, fine sweat was already oozing from her forehead.

Liu Er's daughter-in-law pursed her lips tightly after hearing Ye Yunshui's question, raised her head and glanced at Wei Mammy, and said:

"The slave family didn't intend to come to the mansion to ask for money, but after the man from the slave family died, some of his workers told the slave family to ask the slave family to look for the palace. Every year, those who work in the palace or get injured or die will get wages. I asked for 20 taels, and in the end I got five taels. The slave family invited someone to introduce Guanshi Yan, but Guanshi Wei was there that day, so he stopped the slave family and asked the slave family to ask for 20 taels from Nanny Yan, but It was said to the outside world that it would be 100 taels, otherwise the slave family would not accept the five taels of silver, and the slave family did not know what they meant..."

"These two servants in charge can't afford to offend them, but the servants are desperate now, and they are willing to go all out. If they get revenge in the future, they will not hesitate to kill them and bring their mother-in-law and children down to reunite with Liu Er!"

Liu's second daughter-in-law said, wiping away a few tears.

Wei Mama's face flickered, she was obviously embarrassed by the truth, and she was full of care.

Seeing their mother crying, the little kids couldn't help pursing their mouths. The youngest stared at the food on Ye Yunshui's table, swallowing saliva...

Ye Yunshui turned her head and said to Hu Tao: "You take the mothers down to eat something, and I'll deal with it later."

The second daughter-in-law Liu knelt down to thank her, and then walked down with Hu Tao. Mammy Wei knew that Ye Yunshui was going to deal with her first, so she knelt down and crawled to the ground, crying, "Princess Shi Zi, please forgive me, this old slave has some difficulties. !"

"Cheating the concubine, any difficulty is a capital crime!" Hua'er immediately bluffed her, and the frightened mother Wei hurriedly said:

"Although the old slave is in charge, some people below don't listen to the old slave, and the old slave dare not speak out, so he has to use this method to attract the attention of the concubine. Every year, the craftsmen who work in the palace pay 20 taels of silver for death or injury, but The craftsman’s family only got five taels, and the other 15 taels were all stolen!”

"You didn't get the money, are you jealous?" Ye Yunshui clicked his tongue a few times, "But let your master know that you are such a perfidious person who betrayed her, what will happen to you? It's not like that just because you are jealous of others taking money. Are you willing to let go?"

Wei Mama was shocked, and quickly said with a bitter face: "Old slave, old slave..."

"Okay, don't tell me those fabricated difficulties, I'm not in the mood to listen." Ye Yunshui's face suddenly turned cold, "As for you...it's up to you to deal with it in the future!"

"The old servant obeys the orders of the concubine!" Wei Mama hurriedly agreed, her face was hesitating, not knowing what Ye Yunshui would let her do...

"In a while, you can go and inform the Qingfeng Commercial Company. Later, the craftsmen who work in the mansion will sign a compensation contract with the commercial company. If there is an accident while working in the palace, the commercial company will be responsible for paying ten taels of silver to each household. If they don't Yes, then I have to change another business." Ye Yunshui looked at Wei Mama and sneered, "Is this job what you want?"

Mother Wei tried to force a smile on her face, but she didn't, "This old servant must do well with the concubine's errands! But how can I pay for the money of the Liu family?"

"What's the matter? You still want to use my shortcomings to talk to your master?" Ye Yunshui's face turned cold suddenly. The matter of Liu Er's family was obviously set up by Concubine Feng, and Mammy Wei's heart was really moving. quick!
Mammy Wei didn't think that Ye Yunshui had already guessed the purpose of this matter, she suppressed the astonishment on her face for a moment, and almost exclaimed!

Ye Yunshui waved his hands in disgust, and the two wives stepped forward to pick up Wei Nanny and dragged her out. Wei Nanny regained her composure, and shouted in panic, "This old servant must handle the job of the concubine well. It must be done!" This matter has already offended Concubine Feng, she will never end well, if she offends Ye Yunshui again, she will really have no way out!

Hua'er said worriedly at the side: "Shi Zifei intends to use this Wei Madam?"

Ye Yunshui showed no shame, "Let's throw this kind of rotten fish back to Concubine Feng to stir up the pot of soup, internal strife? Heh, wouldn't it be better for us to wait and see?"
