Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 22: Recruiting servants Shantou and Shuiwei

"Oh! They are all troubles!" Jia Min sighed.

So the maid took a few taels of silver and was about to leave.

"Wait! Madam, please don't bother. Give me the silver and I'll go. It won't cost so much to send off a beggar!" After saying that, Rong Mama took the silver from the maid and cut a few silver coins with a pair of silver scissors.

I held it in my hand and weighed it, and it was more than enough.

When Madam Rong arrived at the gatehouse, she took a quick glance and saw two handsome servants standing at the door, behaving themselves in a very well-behaved manner.

There was a circle outside, with more than a dozen servants holding sticks, staring at the two of them.

Ten or so people can't take down two. These are two talented people! The government is in need of such talents.

Especially his own subordinates, what can I do! Talents are actually liars!

Liar! I had to get rid of him!

"You two claim to be servants of the Jia family? Which branch are you from and which master do you follow?" Madam Rong asked, looking at the two of them.

Shantou and Shuiwei were also a little disappointed. They felt that they had to meet the mistress.

Opponents, husbands, sons, and everything women care about the most, they all used their strength.

How come this lady is so patient? Which lady doesn't like to give her opponent a beating when he's down and see him suffer?

But there was no other way. Madam was at least someone close to the Madam. The two looked around and said, "Madam! It's not convenient to talk here."

Madam Rong thought to herself, there is nothing inconvenient about saying this. Our madam even took in such a despicable nephew.

Could it be that Master Lin, that despicable person, also has a backer? Was this sent by his backer?

Then no matter how good they are, they cannot be used, after all, they are on the same side as Lady Jia.

After thinking it over, Rong Mama threw the silver coins in her hand to the ground.

"Forget it! No matter which family you are from or what news you bring, Madam doesn't want to know. I'll give you a few cents to go and find a way out for yourself, okay?"

The two servants were stunned.

So this is to send away beggars? These few dimes are newly cut, and they can't even buy a pair of shoes for my feet.

This family is so flawless that it looks like they have to resort to some big moves!

The two men thought of this and did not hesitate. They knelt down in front of Madam Rong, took two steps on their knees, and came to Madam Rong's feet with expectant looks on their faces.

"Mammy! Please save our lives! We escaped from Hanshan Temple!"

When Madam Rong heard about Hanshan Temple, her heart skipped a beat and her hair stood on end. It was indeed not possible to talk about such an embarrassing thing in public.

Aunt Rong then took the two of them to the duty room in the hallway and temporarily drove the people inside out.

"Tell me! What's going on?"

"Mammy, we are the people around the Prince of Nan'an."

"The prince went to the funeral and dismissed the slaves. We thought that we had a childhood friendship and a slave should not serve two masters, so we followed him from the capital to Suzhou."

"Who would have known that the prince found out and without giving us any explanation, he kicked and beat us and kicked us out." When they said this, their eyes welled up with tears and their voices choked with sobs.

"Since he is ruthless, you can't blame us for being ungrateful. We have nowhere else to go. I heard that your master is kind-hearted in Suzhou, so I came here to seek refuge."

"This is our indenture." The two servants wiped their snot and tears and handed over the indenture with both hands.

"If you don't believe me, Madam, you can send someone to see the injury."

Madam Rong pinched a corner with her fingertips in disdain, opened it and saw that the indenture was genuine.

She thought again of what happened at Hanshan Temple. That prince was indeed capable of doing such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose.

Such a loyal and capable servant, you just want to give him up?

Really! It is hard to be a loyal slave, and to be discarded like a worn-out shoe.

Alas! My life is miserable. If I can help, I will!

However, this was a big matter that involved the royal palace, and Rong Ma knew that she could not act on her own.

She left the concierge and called someone.

"Go in and check if the two are injured?"

Finally, it was confirmed that there were several bruises on the body, which were obviously the footprints of a ten-year-old child.

After Rong Mama was sure, she walked in and asked the two of them, "Can you sign the death contract?"

"If you can sign it, I'll ask for you. You have to think it over carefully. If you sign the death contract, you won't have any control over your life."

"No matter where you come from, if you don't obey, you will be beaten, killed or sold, all depending on the master's mood."

"If you don't want to, then take the silver and leave!"

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Yes! But it's up to Madam to decide."

"Then sign it first! Whether the master will use it in the future depends on your luck."

Rong Mama thought that since the master didn't need it, it would be easy to sell it. Such good stuff could also help the lady earn a few more taels of silver.

The two people signed the indenture contract, thinking that they could return to the prince.

Who knew that Rong Mama would shout, "Doorman, take these two to the stable to feed the horses first."

The two men were almost furious.

It seems that after all the hard work, both with my hands and my mouth, I only got a job as a horse breeder.

When no one was around, Shuiwei began to complain about Shantou, "Why did you tell the truth?"

Shantou was brushing the horse's hair diligently while saying, "Why should I tell the truth? If we don't tell the truth, we may not even get a stable."

"To tell the truth, if this nanny also reports the truth to the master, whether it is the master or the mistress, they will know about it and will definitely not want to offend the palace and keep us."

"If this old lady doesn't report it to the master and deals with it privately, we can stay."

"It's just that I didn't do it well and embarrassed my master. Save your strength for the whipping."

Sure enough, when Madam Rong found Jia Min and reported it to her, Jia Min was immediately furious.

Are you trying to collude with me?

Rong Mama didn't know, but she knew that they were not coming to her for help, but to their old master.

I won’t let you have your way!

"Let the two boys sleep and eat in the stable! Keep the indentures safe." Jia Min ordered.

"What about the money they earned from selling their bodies?" asked Aunt Rong.

"You still want money? There's not a penny." Jia Min was furious and said angrily.

When Rong Mama heard this, she was done! The two boys' wives hated them to the core without even seeing them.

It seems that the Prince of Nan'an has offended his wife badly, and he is now hating everyone in his family!

What a pity, they are both talented people!

Madam Rong felt that she lacked capable men, especially those who could work in the outer courtyard.

In the future, we will have to recruit new people for the beauty trap, brothel trap, and gambling house trap.

These people in the mansion cannot be used! Using them will damage the reputation of the lady.

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Rong felt that she could still try harder. She was really satisfied with those two boys.

He is skilled, clever, and well-versed in family etiquette. If you miss him, you may never meet someone like him again.

"Madam, do you dislike them because they are from the Nan'an Palace? Switching to another family is considered betrayal? Although betrayal is not a good thing, it is understandable."

This time, Jia Min refused to listen and said firmly, "Mammy! Stop talking. I have made up my mind."

"The Nan'an Palace is not a good place to go, but a slave who betrays his master should not be trusted."

Madam Rong was speechless. She couldn't understand why Jia Min's standards were so strict this time.

In fact, Jia Min was even more angry about something. Mother Li carried Yong'an to the east wing of the front yard to have dinner with them. When Daiyu heard about it, she also wanted to go.
