[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

After Meixiang and He Zizhong got married, Rong Enqing became free.

When I have nothing to do, I just walk around the mansion and take a look at the results of Nanny Gong’s training.

Over the past half month, almost no maid in Baishou Hall dared to break the rules anymore.

He did things very skillfully. He walked very quietly. He answered questions very respectfully. … No one dared to enter the master's house without notifying him. No one dared to slack off anymore.

The entire atmosphere of Baishou Hall changed immediately.

As a result, the entire mansion was also quietly changing.

After Nanny Gong handed the 126 rules to the maids in Baishou Hall, she posted the rules in several places in the inner and outer courtyards of the marquis' mansion the next day.

People who can read were also arranged to go to the place where the rules were posted at a fixed time every day to teach everyone to memorize the rules. It was clearly stipulated that everyone must learn and abide by them within three days.

Violators will be punished.

At first everyone just laughed and didn't take it seriously. It was not until three days later, when some people were fined monthly wages and some were beaten with a stick, that people began to take it seriously.

Half a month later, everyone subconsciously began to abide by those strict and complicated rules.

Occasionally someone breaks the rules, and if they don't get caught it's fine. But once they are caught, they will be punished accordingly based on the severity of the offense.

When Nanny Gong was not serving Rong Enqing, she would be wandering around the Marquis's mansion, catching anyone breaking the rules.

Given the elusiveness of Nanny Gong, people who dare to break the rules in the mansion have almost disappeared.

While Nanny Gong was in the process of rectifying the rules, there was a negative example. No matter how she taught, she would not learn. No matter what punishment she received, she could not change her old bad habits.

That person is A Shou.

From the beginning, Ah Shou showed strong resistance to learning the rules. So, on the first day, he was punished to be locked up in the woodshed. It was supposed to be locked up for three days, but on the second day, Rong Enqing and Yunluo couldn't stand it anymore, so they took the initiative to plead with Madam Gong and let Ah Shou out.

The reason was simple: without Ah Shou cooking for them, the grandparents and grandchildren no longer enjoyed their meals.

Afterwards, Ah Shou was punished with twenty strokes of the cane by Nanny Gong for many other faults, such as not memorizing the rules, not announcing when entering a room, forgetting to call herself a servant when answering, and talking to Rong Enqing in a cheerful and disrespectful manner.

Fortunately, the person who beat the boy knew that A Shou was favored by Rong Enqing and Yun Luo, so he did not dare to use too much force. However, after twenty strokes of the cane, A Shou had to stay in bed for two days.

Thus, Rong Enqing and Yun Luo spent another two days in boredom.

After that, Rong Enqing said that if Ah Shou broke the rules again, she would be punished by not being able to eat. If she broke one rule, she would go hungry.

From then on, Rong Enqing and Yunluo could finally eat in peace. But Ah Shou suffered, as he went hungry for more than a dozen meals.

Sometimes I was fined to have two meals a day, sometimes one meal a day, and the worst time was when I forfeited all three meals a day.

From then on, A Shou finally began to force himself to be honest and learn the rules seriously.

However, ever since Ah Shou started to learn the rules, Rong Enqing felt that Ah Shou had become less lively than before. Apart from cooking, he hardly spoke.

Rong Enqing sometimes asked himself, is this really a good thing?

However, one has to admit that since Nanny Gong came, the efficiency of the servants in the mansion has indeed improved visibly.

The newly arrived servants and maids were also trained to be well-behaved and well-behaved, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at them.

Thinking of how Yunluo was troubled by rumors, accidentally injured, and almost disfigured because of the unruly welfare servants, Rong Enqing completely threw away the slight hesitation in his heart.

In the process of learning the rules, there are negative examples like Ah Shou who are repeatedly punished, and naturally there are also those who stand out. That person is Nanshan.

Because Nanshan is smart and studious, he can learn things quickly, and he is also very self-disciplined and has never made a mistake.

Because of her outstanding performance, Madam Gong couldn't help but praise her twice. She also made an exception and asked Rong Enqing to promote Nanshan to the third-class maid as a reward.

Nanshan was also a man who knew how to deal with things. Under the pretext of wanting to learn more skills, he would often go to Nanny Gong, get her hot water, wash her clothes, and deliver meals to her. He treated Nanny Gong like his own mother.

Because of this, Nanshan has now become the person closest to Nanny Gong in the Marquis' Mansion.

Rong Enqing knew that Nanshan was a studious and motivated child, and she originally thought that she was close to Madam Gong just to learn more. Until one day, Nanshan came to see her secretly and said that she would help her look after Madam Gong and get information from her. If she knew any useful information, she would tell her.

When Rong Enqing heard those words from Nanshan, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But she couldn't help being moved. Meixiang sacrificed her own happiness to marry He Zizhong in order to be her spy. Nanshan, in order to get information for her, was so humble that he got close to Madam Gong.

At that moment, Rong Enqing felt that if she didn't live long and protect them for a long time, her life would be in vain.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Yannian had been kneeling on the ground for a while, but Rong Enqing did not respond. Xiu Zhang could not help but gently pull Rong Enqing's sleeve and remind him: "Yannian is still waiting to report to you."

After walking around the mansion for a long time, Rong Enqing was a little tired and thought too much, so she was distracted. It was not until Xiu Zhang reminded her that she came back to her senses.

When she looked at Yannian, she found that there was something wrong with Yannian's expression.

"What happened? Get up and answer."

Yannian did not stand up, but said in a trembling voice: "Madam, the fourth wife has a miscarriage!"

Rong Enqing hadn't heard from the fourth wife for a while. When he suddenly heard about the fourth wife, he was a little confused.

When she realized what was happening, she immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Go and prepare the carriage. I want to go over and take a look."

Xiu Zhang heard this and hurried out to pass on the message. Then he turned back and helped Rong Enqing out.

As Rong Enqing walked out, he asked Yannian, "What happened? Didn't the messenger explain it clearly?"

Yannian quickly repeated what the people from the fourth room had said. It turned out that Yunhai and Xiaorong were fighting, and Yunhai did not stop and pushed Xiaorong to the ground. Xiaorong had abdominal pain and bleeding, so she asked a doctor to treat her. Only then did they know that Xiaorong was two months pregnant. In the end, neither of the couple knew about it. By the time they found out, the child was gone.

As for why the two of them were fighting, the visitor did not say. Rong Enqing did not intend to ask further. Anyway, it was not the first time that the couple in the fourth room had fought. When they got there, everything would be clear.

However, what Rong Enqing didn’t expect was that the matter of the fourth room was far from being as simple as a fight between a couple!
