028 Make an example of a monkey

Xuan Cao was not the only one thinking this, those who came with her all thought the same.

Originally, there were some who were not convinced. After all, the Young Master was clearly on a downhill path, who wouldn't want to climb?

When he came, he was so angry that he thought, "Why am I so unlucky?" Being assigned to this place, for example, the middle-aged man who was in charge of the management thought like that. It was really unlucky to be sent to the Young Master by his superiors even though he was also one of the most well-known children of the clan.

But now, after standing in the snow for the whole morning, his whole body was cold, and even if he had been overbearing, he would still be suppressed.

Wu Youcai called for someone to come back to his senses when it was almost noon. "Little one!" "Small!"

"Yes, Young Master." Xiaoxiao could still pretend to be calm in front of outsiders, even if he was just a small errand boy.

"What time is it?" Wu Youcai was so impressed by the fact that he didn't have any tools to measure time in the ancient times. If he wanted to see the time, he would have to ask someone first.

"Right now …?" Xiaoxiao looked outside, "There's no sun, so I don't know."

Usually, he would look at the sun and estimate the time. Right now, it was still cloudy outside with light snow falling and the north wind blowing. How could he even look at the time?

Wu Youwei touched his belly. He was a little hungry, so it should be noon. He hadn't eaten much in the morning, so he said, "Then forget it, let them in."

"Ai?" Xiaoxiao scratched her head. "Oh, right. There are still people outside!"

With him, she forgot about it.

Wu Youwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Oh, since you told them to go to the main gate, then wouldn't the human trader be the one to lead them there? He remembered asking the butler, which seemed to be the case.

"It's about time." Xiaoxiao said, "Usually, when you bring them back, you will give them a bowl of porridge. Once you have eaten them, it will be considered as lunch."

In the morning, people would be called, gathered, and then all their belongings would be taken out. They would only be given two sets of clothes master didn't want.

Without even a bag to carry, it was equivalent to him leaving home.

"Let the people outside go to the gate and watch human trader lead the people out." It gave them a shock.

This was Wu Youwei's goal.

"Young Master, human trader will not enter from the entrance." "human trader is waiting at the corner of the door. Everyone is tied with a rope, and with a string, the butler dragged them out."

It was like pulling a string of grasshoppers.

This was the treatment of a servant who had made a mistake.

If it was a proper slave trade, human trader would still treat the goods in her hands rather well. She would not casually beat them up, and even more so would not dare to lightly injure her life.

Servants were also people. Even if they died, they had to report it to the government.

Of course, if the servants who made a mistake died, they would have to report it, but the grades would drop a lot, no one would investigate how they died, so if the servants were sold out by the master because of a mistake, they would have nothing good to go to, they would only be used in bitter and tired places.

"Then let them go and take a look. When they're done, bring them back." Wu Youwei instructed Xiao Wen, "Tell them what I mean."

"Yes sir!" Little Ping obediently went out to pass the message.

Helpless, Xuan Cao could only lead her to Jiaomen, where she personally witnessed the people she had gotten along with in the past. She wore a worn-out cotton jacket in the middle of the winter, trembling as she was pulled out of the mansion like a beast.

The steward looked at his son and the eldest granddaughter, tears welling up in his eyes.

Wu Youquan was the most ruthless one, he wanted him to personally hand over the person and personally witness his youngest son, eldest granddaughter, being sold out, giving him a deep lesson.

And this man would be in Wu Youwei's hands from now on.

If the steward was disobedient, what would happen to the two of them?

Look, it's only been a day. Ever since they came back, they've been eating and wearing clothes, and that's really different. The kitchen knows that it's better to give all kinds of eggs to the people in this small courtyard to nourish their bodies.

Even when he was sick, Wu Youwei did not see any eggs in the food he had been given. The most common dishes were tofu and beans.

This scene made many servants revere Young Master, and they had to avoid the people in the courtyard of Young Master as much as possible.

When Lady Xuan Cao brought the people back to the small courtyard, Wu You Wei finally saw them.

Xuan Cao was a sixteen year old big girl. Although she was wearing the attire of a first class grand maidservant, her temperament was very good, with a bit of the jade of a small family.

He wore a navy blue jacket with a silver hairpin and a pair of bun on his head. The white hairpin was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, giving him a refreshing look.

However, because he had just seen the scene, he looked somewhat haggard, and his face was also somewhat pale.

Wu Youwei was very satisfied. Killing a chicken to make an example of a monkey was indeed easy to use.

Behind him were two second grade maidservant s, four young maidservant s, and four rough servant woman s.

The manager brought two bookkeepers, two servants and four guard s.

Men and women stood in two rows.

Wu Youwei was standing outside the door. He was wearing a creamy white silk robe with a net tied around his head and a jade white headband.

Standing under the eaves of the falling snow, it gave off a feeling of a jade tree swaying in the wind.

This was the first heavy snowfall this year. After the heavy snowfall, they would probably have to eat two meals a day.

However, his eyes were sharp, too sharp. No one dared to raise their heads to look him in the eye.

"Speak your name first, and let Young Master recognize you as well." Wu Youwei kept his momentum up. He had to do this for these people. If they were to submit in one go, they would not dare to have second thoughts.

He thought that the first person to speak would be Xuan Cao, because she was someone who came out from the Old Madam's courtyard. She felt that she was above everyone else, if not for that, she would not have brought people to report this morning.

In the end, the male manager was the first to introduce himself.
