C25 Not a Single One Remained
Not a single one remained
In the evening, the kitchen maid personally brought the food box over for the meal.
In the past, the small courtyard had also received such treatment, but that was back when the Old Master was still alive.
Actually, what could he eat when he was filial piety?
However, the chef also gave her a bowl of egg soup, "By the madame's orders, you will be the same as the young masters and young misses. Also, you will be the Young Master's first young master since young master Sun is now the eldest young master, and Miss Sun and the others will be the misses according to the order."
Wu Jun's wife, Sun Hui Juan had become the Madam Wu; the original Madam Wu had officially become the Old Madam Wu.
"Yes." Wu Youwei nodded his head, indicating that he understood. It was just that the seniority of the group had increased a little.
It was impossible for the kitchen maid to not see the people kneeling outside. Furthermore, she was familiar with the daughter and son-in-law the housekeeper bought in the kitchen, and there was also the housekeeper's eldest granddaughter and youngest son.
After putting down the dishes, Wu Youjiu called out to Xiaoxiao, "Come here for dinner!"
"Sigh!" "Young Master!"
"Mm. Come, egg drop soup, I'll take half and you take half." There was no need to share the other things, because they were all the same. The only thing that he had more than the smallest was this bowl of egg soup.
"Oh, thank you, Young Master." I know that the young master is good to him and he is good to the young master as well.
"We can't call you young master anymore, we have to call you Young Master." The kitchen maid reminded Xiaoxiao in a low voice, "Be careful that the old master takes care of you when he hears you."
He shrunk his neck. He hadn't reached the stage where he could see the old master anytime and anywhere.
Thus, when he heard "Master", he was afraid.
"Young Master." He called out softly.
"Sigh!" Wu Youcai said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you are Young Master's errand boy. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, Young Master will sell him out!"
Little Jun was happy, but the kitchen lady's face turned pale.
She wanted to take the opportunity to mention the people kneeling outside, but she didn't dare to speak now.
Wu Youwei said so. One of his reasons was to represent his family while the other was to gag the kitchen maid. With so many connections, there would definitely be many people who came to plead for mercy.
Although there weren't many attendants in the Wu Family, there were still a hundred and eighty of them in the original owner's memories.
Even though the butler knew that this matter was inevitable, but wasn't his youngest son, eldest granddaughter, still kneeling there?
This torture method required someone to look at it. What was his view on this closed window?
In ancient times, there were no transparent glass windows. On the windows, there were paper scrolls for poor families, and cloth scrolls for rich families. In winter, there were thick paper scrolls for windows.
Because in winter, you can't use light muslin anymore. You have to use light muslin to let the wind through. Every year, you have to change the window sash and paper.
He was inside the house, and he wasn't using his perspective, so he couldn't see the outside.
The servants were not idiots. Even if the people outside died from the cold and knelt down, Young Master, who was inside the house, would not be able to see them!
After dinner, it was cloudy outside and there was a north wind. In the Ming Dynasty Beijing, there was no "greenhouse effect" or gloomy smog. It was very cold, and after dark, there was even a light snowfall.
Tiny snowflakes were drifting about in the air. The temperature had dropped to a freezing point, and one could hear the sound of wind from outside.
Wu Youwei and Xiaoxiao peeped through the crack in the door. The place in the yard where the people were kneeling … There was not a single person left!
"All of you are f * cking playing a dirty trick on me!" Wu Youjiu was angry. It seemed like she had only kneeled down. Now that she was cold, who the hell was there to be silly about it? Kneeling in the cold wind on this windy night?
He also thought that if there were still people kneeling there right now, he would definitely cry out. It was impossible to forgive them, but he could just release them without selling them.
After all, because of their negligence, the original owner died young. Although he was their successor, he did not have the qualifications to forgive them. The only person qualified to do so was the original owner.
"They're just here to take a walk. If they truly begged for mercy, they would have come a long time ago. But a quarter of an hour before you returned, they just arrived …" Xiaoxiao told Wu Youwei, "I heard that you are very soft-hearted …"
It was said that this courtyard of the Young Master was the easiest to serve in the entire palace.
As a result, the first punishment was a thunderous method.
They were all sold, leaving him alone. Even the butler's youngest son and eldest granddaughter were not spared.
The lightning-fast method caused the servants in the mansion to become solemn. Even the people in the kitchen did not dare to slight them, especially the Young Master and the Young Master. Their ranks had been raised and sooner or later, they would have to split up.
Wu Jun returned to his courtyard and stayed in the front yard. Because of his filial time, he could not go to the back yard to work with his wife and concubine.
Not even a concubine could do it, let alone a wife. Therefore, he could only sleep alone in the front yard and spend some time with a monk.
At this time, Wu Jun also wanted to quietly think about something in the front courtyard. Inside the study room, the smell of incense assaulted his nostrils, and at this time, the guards at the front courtyard were all attendant and attendant. There wasn't a single woman, and even maidservant wouldn't dare to approach this place.
