famous concubine

Chapter 870
"It's also for your own good that I asked you to find a new employer; think about it, if you continue to stay here as someone who is centered on others, you will inevitably do evil; I may ignore this small evil; but little Once the evil is done too much, it will accumulate into a big evil; in this way, even if I don’t like killing, I can’t let it go; after all, it is a matter of life and death for me and my son.”

After everyone heard it and thought about it carefully, it was indeed the truth; in this way, the yelling became weaker and weaker; the one who yelled the loudest was the person who was under the care of Concubine Hu in secret.

Dongfang Yu took a sip of tea slowly, and said lightly: "Besides, the new owner I chose for you is not as good as Prince An's Mansion, but it is also a big family; you won't be asked to do more work, and you will be paid a lot of money." ; Moreover, according to the characteristics of each of you, I have found different employers that I can't find."

"Qing He, bring the booklet and read it to them."

Dongfang Yu looked at Qinghe with a smile, and she always admired the cleverness of this maid; Qinghe was not only clever, but also flexible in mind; among them, she helped Mother Luo, who was equivalent to a housekeeper, and she had come up with many good ideas.

For example, the current brochure that distributes everyone; most of it is the credit of Qing He.

Qing He listened to the order, and immediately took out the booklet he had prepared earlier and read it out to the public.

There were about twenty people in this group, so it was naturally impossible to stuff them into the same household at the same time; most of them were two or three from the same owner.

The servants listened silently to the name of their new employer; there was a moment of silence.

After Qing He finished reading, he asked them again if they remembered; after making sure that everyone heard where he was going, Qing He handed the booklet to Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu casually read the brochure quickly, then looked up at the group of servants with complex expressions, and said slowly: "Of course, before that, I still have something to explain to everyone."

"It's the middle of the month, according to the usual practice; it's the end of the month that the wages of this month are paid; but you will leave the house tomorrow; so I have asked people to settle your wages for this month, don't worry, even if it is the middle of the month; I am the same I will give you a full month's salary; in addition, in order to thank you for serving in Prince An's Mansion for many years; I will reward each of you with an extra five taels of silver."

"After I finish speaking later, you can go to receive your wages; in addition, there is one more thing; I remember that some of you voluntarily sold yourself into slavery because of poverty; that is, you were not originally slaves; now I will give you A chance to redeem myself; as for the silver for the redemption..."

Dongfangyu thought for a while, and then said: "Just multiply the silver taels you sold yourself in those years by the years in Prince An's Mansion; let me give you an example; for example, Yan Xiaolan, she sold herself to Prince An's Mansion for ten taels of silver when she was ten years old. ;15 years old now; that is to say, if she redeems herself voluntarily; she only needs to give me 50 taels of silver, and I can give her the deed of sale."

"Of course, this is entirely a voluntary act; whether you redeem yourself or not depends on your own will; I will not make this decision for you."

After hearing these words, the servants looked at each other from the original blank faces to mixed grief and joy; some of them wept with joy; some had the courage to ask with a dubious attitude: "Shizifei, is what you said true?"

Dongfangyu nodded; said lightly: "Although I, Dongfangyu, am not a man, I promise to be as good as I say; if any of you want to redeem yourself, if you can get the money for the redemption on the spot, I can return the contract of sale to you right away. you."

After listening to her assurance; someone in the crowd is about to move.

Prince An’s mansion treats servants extremely generously; even a third-class maid has three taels of monthly money; calculated in this way, even if the usual rewards are not added together; there are more than 30 taels a year; if you want to redeem yourself, As long as you usually have a little savings.

"Besides, you will have a good dinner tonight; it will be my farewell."

"If you have any questions, you can ask me now; as long as I can answer for you; I will try to give you a satisfactory answer."

Hearing her easy-going words, someone immediately asked: "Concubine Shizi, I want to know, if I redeem myself, can I continue to serve as a servant in my new employer?"

Dongfang said: "Whether you are free or not, it does not affect the matter of going to the new employer; as for whether you will be a long-term helper or a short-term helper after you go to the new owner; this is a matter for you to negotiate with the new owner in the future."

"By the way, if some of you don't want to go to the house I arranged for you, that's fine too; however, whether you want to accept my arrangement or not; you can only stay in Liuguang Pavilion tonight and tomorrow morning You have to leave Prince An's Mansion."

After speaking in Oriental, she looked at them again; seeing that no one had any questions, she turned and left; the follow-up matters should be left to Mother Luo and Qing He.

As expected, the servants received their full month's wages and rewards at the same time; they were both happy and disappointed at the moment; and at dinner time, just as the oriental saying goes, it was so rich that the servants were dumbfounded.

After dinner, several young maids came to Dongfang Yu and explained that they wanted to redeem themselves; Dongfang Yu handed over the matter to Mama Luo; Mama Luo followed her instructions; The deed of sale was returned to those maidservants.

In this way, people who were originally skeptical began to believe in Dongfangyu's previous promise.

In the early morning of the next day, most of the servants took their luggage and left happily and reluctantly.

What they are reluctant to part with is this princess who has never been close to them; not only rewards and punishments are clear, but also treats others kindly.

What they feel happy is that this strange-minded princess even sent them out; she also thought of them in everything; this time, she paid a full month's wages; and gave another reward equivalent to more than one month; In addition, it also ensures that the wages of the new owner will not be less than the current one.Before leaving, let them eat delicacies that they thought they would never have the chance to eat in this life.

In this way, Dongfangyu used her unique way of handling things to easily send out a group of people who were originally resentful towards her; when these people left, they went from resentment to gratitude now; The transformation of life is not something that can be done in one or two sentences.

Worry-free living.

"Mother-in-law, the concubine's tricks are really powerful; she can change people's minds towards her overnight; she can completely sell people's hearts overnight; those people originally held resentment towards her; Sometimes, there are expressions of reluctance, gratitude and joy intertwined on the face; it really makes people feel ashamed."

Concubine Hu looked at the envious and jealous Princess Jing Yun, and sneered: "In the past, I only heard that her medical skills are not bad; I didn't expect her methods to be good; it seems that we have to be careful of her in the future. "
