Chapter 360: I'm using all my strength to suck milk
Chapter 360: I'm using all my strength to suck milk
After the earthquake, as the day broke, many people began to rush back home. A whole family, including the elderly and children, could not live outside forever. Since no one was hurt and the earthquake was confirmed to be over, they also wanted to go back and rebuild their homes as soon as possible, so most ordinary people had dispersed by now.
"Your Lord would rather leave the porridge for later use than give it to the servants. This is really eye-opening!"
Shu Xiaoxiao, who had not figured out how to deal with the food and had come out to look for inspiration, heard this and kicked the man without any courtesy. Seeing him stagger and fall to the ground, he spoke: "This is really eye-opening. It only shows that your vision is too narrow. The porridge of this Marquis is for the people. As for them, they don't work for me, so why should I take care of their food?"
Damn, why are they all so tall? They must be using all their might.
His hands were burning with pain, and he was embarrassed in front of so many people. Pei Jiezhi stood up and looked at Shu Xiaoxiao with sparks in his eyes: "Ye Xiao you............"
He wanted to fight back, but when he saw the maid behind her, he stopped. He didn't know where this guy found the maid, but she was very skilled. The important thing was that he...he couldn't beat her.
If he took action, he might not even be able to beat a maid, which would be even more embarrassing!
Shu Xiaoxiao raised her head and said disdainfully: "You are a commoner, yet you dare to address me by my name? What's the matter? Was it because I kicked you too lightly just now?"
Pei Jiezhi gritted his teeth. Identity, identity, identity. If his father had not yet asked for the title of Crown Prince for him, how could he be suppressed by Ye Xiao and not have to suffer such humiliation? Sooner or later, he would repay Ye Xiao a hundredfold.
"Lord Ye... Marquis..., even if you are the Marquis, I am the legitimate son of the Marquis Dingkang Mansion, so you should not go too far. The people cannot finish the porridge, and the Marquis will not let the servants use it. The emperor has always been against extravagance and waste, so it is probably even more inappropriate for Lord Ye to waste food like this!"
Oh, there are so many big pots of porridge, and most of the people have left, but the servants are not allowed to eat. What does he think Ye Xiao will do?
"Who told you that no one wants to eat it?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked back?
The emperor and his officials already had quite a few people, and not many common people followed them. In addition, some had already left, so the porridge was indeed too much. But at this time, the masters of the various mansions had not yet had a chance to eat it, let alone the servants.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many servants coming to eat, so there's no need to worry about leftovers.
"Somebody come!"
"Master Hou!"
"Go, notify the people in the General's Mansion, the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. Ask the servants, guards, and maids who are not busy now to come over. Tell them that this Marquis will provide meals today and ask them to come and eat."
"Yes!" The servants hurriedly went to inform the various mansions. The masters of these mansions had a good relationship with their own master. They provided them with meals, and their own master was in a good situation. But what did it mean for the servants from other mansions to come and eat? They even had the nerve to say that their marquis was stingy. If they had the ability, they could also provide porridge. It was really that their marquis was powerful. Not everyone could take advantage of their Yongle Marquis's Mansion.
Pei Jiezhi: "You... didn't you let the servants eat?"
"Humph, servants are divided into different groups. The General's Mansion belongs to my aunt and cousin, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and the Sixth Prince's Mansion belong to my senior brother. We are all family, and I am willing to support them with servants. As for the servants of other mansions, what do they have to do with me? If you can't afford to support servants, then be less ostentatious. Why, you are asking me for money?"
The servants and guards who were pulled out from the surroundings lowered their heads, wishing they had never been there. Some even wanted to leave quietly, but seeing Lord Ye's eager look, they dared not make any big movements. It would be better if they didn't take advantage of this sooner rather than later. If they were discovered by their master, they would probably be in even greater trouble.
They had originally wanted to wait for Young Master Pei to help them, perhaps they could get a free meal in the future. But now it seems that Young Master Pei is really useless. No wonder they haven't been able to successfully invite him to be the Crown Prince.
But they couldn't just sit there and wait for death. They were embarrassed and their master would know about it. Selling them out would be the least of their punishment. No one would care about them being lowly people. Some smart ones immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "My Lord, please calm down. It's our fault. We were lazy. Our master didn't even know we were here. We acted on our own initiative. Please forgive us, my Lord. We won't dare to do it again."
Seeing this, the others also knelt down and begged. They didn't know that this was specially for the common people and thought that everyone could drink it. If they had known that Lord Ye was so serious, they would never have taken advantage of this. But no one dared to say this.
As slaves, they can only admit their mistakes quickly when encountering problems, and they dare not quibble. If slaves dare to quibble with their masters, it is because they are afraid that they will die too comfortably.
They were in the wrong to begin with, and if the situation got out of hand, no one would protect them. Besides, Lord Ye was a powerful man, and was not on the same level as them.
If they really want to deal with them, their master will not offend the favored Lord Ye for a servant like them. They will only have one way out, and that is death. Now they only hope that Lord Ye can be magnanimous and let them go. They will never dare to take advantage of others again, especially Lord Ye's advantage.
Shu Xiaoxiao nodded at their frightened expressions: "It's okay as long as you know you're wrong. No matter what, you have a job and can eat enough. Why are you fighting with these people? And don't forget which mansion you belong to. Do your masters know that you are eating from two families? Are they happy?"
Everyone:............
This............This........
A slave who eats from two families will not have a good ending. Why didn't they think of...
They immediately kowtowed: "My Lord, please spare us, my Lord, please spare us, we will never dare to do it again!" They used to think that Lord Ye was too stingy, but now they don’t think so at all. They have to thank the Lord for enlightening them. They have been a little lax when they are away from home. They must be more careful next time. They can’t afford to share the meals of two families!
"I will not care about these things, but this is only the first time and it will not happen again." Those who can come here to eat are definitely not favored servants. Shu Xiaoxiao will not make things difficult for them. These people have not had an easy time either.
In such a feudal dynasty, there was no need to think about equality for all. Even in modern times, it has not been achieved, let alone now. But she was a person who had been influenced by modern new ideas. I can't say how kind she was, but she would not make things difficult for them.
"Yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. We won't dare to do it again."
Shu Xiaoxiao: "Well, let's go."
"I'll take my leave." He ran away as if he was playing with fire.
Pei Jiezhi: Damn it! She's been playing tricks on me again. If she says this, not only will these servants not hate him, they might even thank her.
Only he was so embarrassed.
