boudoir

Chapter 74
Liuli had been embroidering flowers for half a day, and before dinner was served, she called Shuangxi, and was about to ask questions, when Ruier suddenly walked in screaming, "Girl! It's not good! Laurel Begonia was beaten!"

Liuli stood up and rushed out of the curtain, and she saw Haitang standing in the corridor mixed with laurel, both of them had disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, their faces were blue and purple, they looked like a pair of rag dolls.

Afterwards, Shuangxi came out and said in surprise, "What's going on?!"

Yuegui glanced at Liuli, pursed her lips and lowered her head.Liuli raised her chin and pointed at Haitang: "Say it!"

Before Haitang could speak, tears rolled down her face: "They, they bullied the girl, saying that the scarecrow was sent by the girl to frighten the fifth girl..."

Liuli frowned urgently, "Who said that?"

Haitang chattered and told the story.Rui'er was dumbfounded while listening, but Liuli was silent, as if she had expected it long ago.Shuangxi scolded the two people in the corridor: "You two are so unruly! Do you know that fighting and making trouble is a violation of the government's ban? You still have the face to come back! I should sue the eldest lady and kick you out!"

Laurel Haitang hurriedly knelt down.

Shuangxi scolded: "You two come in with me!" while ordering Rui'er: "Go to the big kitchen and bring the food."

The whole house was about to disperse when someone came to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Miss Nine, Da Furen invites you to talk to the long room."

Liuli knew it was trouble coming to her door, so she immediately responded, "I'll go after I change my clothes."

Yuegui Haitang had followed Shuangxi to the door at this time, and looked over with tears in her eyes when she heard the words: "Girl..." Liuli waved her hands and went into the room to change clothes.

As soon as the table was removed from the long room, Liuli arrived.Mrs. Yu let her into the room after rinsing her mouth, and was about to reprimand her, but when she entered, she knelt down on both knees, kowtowed, and said: "Liu Li didn't rule strictly, so he made a big mistake, and I'm here today to receive the punishment." .”

Yu looked at her for a long time, then put down the teacup, "You're self-conscious." Liuli lowered her body again.Yu's face darkened and said: "Your little courtyard is too busy to expose the tiles without making trouble for three days! Now you dare to gather a crowd to fight and beat the fifth girl's maid until her nose is bruised and her face is swollen, and her legs are dislocated. Now you are both If you make up your mind to receive the punishment, then you say, how will you be punished?!"

Liuli said: "In Liuli's opinion, it's better to deduct their monthly payment for two months."

Yu Shi looked at her, and said softly and slowly: "They withhold monthly money, what about you?"

Liuli pressed down and said, "But it's up to Madam."

Yu blew on the tea leaves with downcast eyes, and said: "I don't have any ideas. If you hit you lightly, you won't have a long memory. If you hit hard enough, others will say that I treat you harshly. You also said that the management is not strict. Why don't you go to the Buddhist hall and kneel down in the Buddhist hall to copy the "Women's Training" a hundred times as Mr. Guo punished the fifth girl!"

Liuli paused, kowtowed and thanked.

Ziyan lifted the curtain and entered Yuhua's room, and said with a smile: "Congratulations girl, congratulations girl!"

Yuhua stood in front of the window with a disapproving expression: "What's there to congratulate? It was expected to be like this."

Zi Yan stood closer: "Speaking of which, the servants really admire the girl, the links are so ingeniously connected. Now not only the fifth girl and the others believe that this thing was done by the one in the garden, even the wives also believe it. It’s quite true. Just now the eldest lady severely punished the ninth lady, and the fourth lady became a wife to vent her anger on the fifth lady, and she brought a lot of silk and satin for offending the girl that day, so you came to accompany me, didn’t you?”

Yuhua raised the handkerchief and went back to the couch and sat down, smiled triumphantly, "That's exactly what it should be!"

It will be three days before Liuli leaves the house and returns to Xiaokuayuan.During these three days, he ate, drank and slept in the Buddhist hall, except for the maids sent by Yu Shi, no one else saw him.Rui'er and the others tried their best to get in, but the doorways were guarded like iron walls, not even a sparrow could fly in.

At noon that day, just enough to kneel for 36 hours, the maids let the door open, and she was reborn.

Back in the courtyard, Laurel Begonia came up to her crying.Liuli ignored them, first went into the house to take a shower and change clothes, and then called the two of them in after taking a nap.

Yuegui wiped her tears and said: "Your maidservant deserves to die, causing the girl to be punished." Haitang whimpered: "My servant will never fight again next time!"

Liu Li smiled and said, "I think you guys played well!"

Yuegui thought she was angry, and her tears became more and more violent.Liuli said sternly: "I'm serious. You guys did a good job this time. If you encounter something like this in the future, you should continue to beat me. As long as you don't kill people, I will take care of everything!"

Yuegui originally thought that Liuli would give them a hard reprimand when she came back, and she was already prepared to be punished, but she couldn't believe it when she said that.Where is the master and girl instigating the slaves to cause trouble?This is something that can't stand up to any precepts!

Liuli glanced at them, sat behind the desk, and said: "I know you don't understand anyway, let's put it this way, these few days you go to the big kitchen to get food, how do those maids look at you?"

Yuegui thought for a while and said, "It seems a little different. Furong broke her leg, and in the past two days, another servant girl took the lead. Those servant girls were not convinced when they saw the servant girl, but they didn't say anything." Haitang also added: "That's right, Miss Si's maid is here today, so she didn't compete with us for food."

Liu Li said: "Isn't that enough? In the past, they only said that we little people from the courtyard are easy to bully, so they robbed you of food, ran on you with words, Fu Rong even reached out to beat you, but since you broke her leg, these people Isn't it more honest? Although it is said that slaves are more expensive than masters, everyone knows that your fists are not forgiving, so naturally you dare not bully you easily. They don't come to provoke you, and you don't provoke them. Did you save yourself a lot of trouble?"

Having said that, the two seem to understand a little bit.Liuli continued: "You know, no matter how weak you are, others will lead to troubles, so sometimes it's better to be tough. Don't suffer immediate losses. But what I want to say is that you also have mistakes in this matter."

The hearts of the two Yuegui raised their hearts again, and they looked at her in bewilderment.

She said: "The fault of yours is that you have no skills in fighting. If you say it well, you are brave and foolish, but if you say it badly, you have no brains. In this way, although you show off your prestige, you also suffer in the end, don't you? Breaking someone else's leg is not a skill, but breaking someone's leg and not getting punished is a skill, but beating someone but getting someone punished is a real skill!"

Yuegui Haitang was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly she felt enlightened. It turned out that what made them entangled was beating someone and making a mistake, not beating someone and suffering a loss, and they were so suffocated that they didn't know where to go. Now that Liuli dialed it, they suddenly knew the way out Where is it? It turned out that I had to use my brain...

"Girl, we got it! Next time something like this happens, we must not let Madam catch it, and let the girl take care of it for us!"

Liuli nodded: "This is the best!"

The two left happily, and from then on, they began to think about how to beat people skillfully.

Because she was locked up in the Buddhist hall for a few days and missed the greeting on the second day of February, Liuli got up early the next day and asked people to prepare to go to the main courtyard.

It has always been rainy in spring, which makes people feel lethargic. At this time, Mrs. Yu and others have finished serving breakfast and went back, and the Anxi hall is very quiet.Walking down the corridor, Biyun just came out from behind the curtain, seeing Liuli, she couldn't help being surprised: "Miss Nine?" Liuli nodded, "Sister Biyun, I'm here to greet the old lady, can you let me know?" Biyun thought for a while , said: "The old lady has just finished her meal, so don't let anyone disturb her for now." Liuli said: "I have something else to do."

Biyun was slightly surprised, glanced at her twice, and entered the room silently.Turned out after a while: "The old lady asked the girl to come in and talk."

Liuli signaled Rui'er to stay, and stepped inside.

It's not the day when Hefu pays his respects, Anxi Hall looks very spacious and quiet, Liuli walked around the screen, and walked into the flower hall with small steps, seeing the old lady who was waiting by Qingshang to chant scriptures, she hurriedly stood aside.Qingshang whispered something in the old lady's ear, the old lady put down the scriptures and said, "What's the matter?"

Liuli invited Ann first, and then said: "Liuli came today because of the scarecrow in the back garden."

The old lady squinted at her, but didn't intend to answer.

Liuli then said: "Liuli thinks the incident in the back garden is very strange, but now the rumors in the garden are outrageous, and some people say that the scarecrow was deliberately placed there to scare the fifth girl, and some people say that there is indeed a ghost, and now there are basically no scarecrows in the back garden. Liuli is also very scared of someone walking around, so I want to ask the old lady to speak and let people investigate thoroughly, what is going on? Find out the results and set the record straight."

The old lady said: "I don't do anything wrong in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. You have no reason, what are you afraid of?"

Liuli said: "Even if Liuli can hold back and not be afraid, it won't be a good thing for the people in the mansion to gossip about it for a long time. What's more, the eldest grandma and the second grandma are pregnant with their precious son. If there is something unclean, If you bump into the two grandmas, it would be bad. If not, people will be in a state of panic all day long, and it will not be good for the two grandmas' health!"

The old lady reprimanded: "Your eldest grandma and second grandma are all noble people, how can those filthy ghosts get close? Don't scare me here!"

Liuli said: "The more expensive the person, the more the ghosts like them. Have you forgotten that you invited Master Yongxin to perform the dharma earlier? The master said so at the time."

The old lady suffered a loss in this matter, and she still has lingering fears when she mentions this appointment.After a moment of silence, he said: "That's the case, it's not worth fighting. Let someone invite a mage to come back and paste a few talismans!" Then he said: "Qingshang sent a message to the eldest room to ask the eldest lady to investigate this matter. , shut up."

Qingshang went out in response.The old lady looked at the ground: "You go!"

Liuli paused, but knelt down instead: "Liuli still has a few words to say."

The old lady was impatient: "What are you talking about?"

　Why is my book review section full of grass? . .Do you really have nothing to say?
