Chapter 226: Tang Liliwei
The latest website: Soon what Tang Li said spread to the ears of all the people in the old house, and many people were quietly complaining about those few people.
"I'm really using chicken feathers as an arrow. I don't have the ability to lay eggs. Could it be that everyone can tell her? Also, she pulled people to tell fortunes at such an important banquet. She simply lost the meeting of our Qi family. Isn't it true? Did someone tell you?"
"She is the youngest in our generation in the Qi family, what right does she have to let a few old sisters-in-law copy the family training!"
"That's right, I'm not afraid of being struck by lightning."
...
A group of people were filled with anger, but as soon as they got outside the gate of the big dining hall, they immediately shut up as if they had discussed it, and dared not say any more.
When the third-bedroom members of the family who came later heard these words, although they felt that Tang Li was a bit too much, they couldn't help gloating at the same time.
"Yes! These people have said something about our eldest family behind their backs. Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for the fact that they are elders, I would have ripped their mouths apart." Qi Bailing sneered.
The lady who was frightened last night and looked a bit unhappy today also said: "Although Tang Li is not a good person, I wanted to tear the mouths of those women a long time ago. She helped me out." , how about our eldest room, it's not up to them, people from the side room, to make irresponsible remarks."
Although the second and third wives did not speak, they were gloating in their hearts.
Except for the old man who would not come over for dinner, when all the people in the old house arrived at the big dining room, they saw Tang Li sitting alone at the main table, drinking tea with a relaxed expression on his face.
Behind her, Butler Yang, who was still standing in the fourth room, and Butler Wang, the chief butler.
When everyone saw Butler Wang standing there, they felt a bad feeling in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show their anger.
Seeing that people were almost here, Tang Li looked up at the crowd and said, "There are a lot of people in the old house these two days. I think some people like to gossip in private when they are free. In order to let everyone know that we are a hundred years old. A big family must have the temperament of a wealthy family in every word and deed, so I decided to let everyone copy the Qi family's family motto, and then memorize it."
After finishing speaking, she pointed to the three family mottoes placed on the main table, and continued: "As long as you are in the old house, start from this afternoon, copy all the family mottoes for me, and I will conduct random checks at that time. If you copy them, you will not be able to remember them." , then keep copying until you remember it.”
These words made the faces of several middle-aged women who were bickering with Tang Li unhappy.
But Butler Wang is here,
They dare not talk back.
Others didn't understand Tang Li's meaning, thinking she was talking about those women, someone whispered:
"It's too ruthless. It's embarrassing for a few aunts to copy and memorize such a thick family motto, isn't it?"
"I think she is lawless because of her grandpa's backing."
"This person is so unreasonable. I don't believe that she can support Grandpa for the rest of his life. When the time comes... I'll see what she can do."
...
Tang Li looked around at everyone's expressions, and suddenly the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile. At this moment, she said in a particularly embarrassing way: "Do you think these sister-in-laws are the only ones copying family training? I'm talking about everyone. , Listen clearly, everyone!"
Wow!
These words immediately made everyone explode.
"Tang Li, why do you want us to copy the family training too?"
"We didn't offend you."
"That is, if you want us to copy the family training, you have to charge us with a crime. We didn't do anything, so why should we copy?"
...
Everyone was chattering, eager to jump up and bite Tang Li.
Tang Li picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, her calm expression was in stark contrast to theirs.
She replied lightly: "Just because I am the mistress of the Qi family, don't I have the right to ask you to copy the family training?"
"If you are not convinced, you can ask Butler Wang if I have any rights."
Butler Wang stood up in real time and said: "In the inner house chapter of the Qi family's family training, the mistress has the right to manage the female family members of the entire clan. The previous mistress would lead the female family members to copy the family training once a year. The fourth young lady only married into the house last year. The Qi family didn't know about it, but she found out this year, if you were asked to copy it, you should copy it."
The implication is that you were not allowed to copy last year, so you can have fun secretly!
After Steward Wang said this, everyone remembered this, which made their faces change several times, which was very exciting.
Tang Li looked at their reactions, chuckled, and said earnestly: "I am also doing it for your own good. A family as big as the Qi family has become so unruly now that they are always chewing the master's tongue behind their backs. This is like What are you talking about! So you have to cultivate your mind and character, if you feel that the family instructions are not enough, then copy a few more scriptures, copying scriptures can calm your mind and make you less impetuous."
A group of women: ...
Grass immediately!
If eyes could kill, Tang Li would have been cut to pieces by now.
But eyes can't kill people, Tang Li even pretended not to see.
She took another sip of tea and said to Butler Wang: "I think the servants in the old house should also be rectified. They chew the master's tongue at every turn. Who gave them the courage?"
Steward Wang immediately agreed: "Madam Fourth Young Master is right, how about..."
Speaking of this, he thought for a while before saying: "The servants of the Qi family also have employee handbooks, and I will let them learn to memorize them by heart. Don't worry, Mrs. Fourth Young Master, many of the servants of the Qi family are born at home. If they If you don’t accept it, we can fire them directly, and their identity information will be recorded at that time, and their children will not be able to develop well in the future.”
In this kind of big family, the children of the family have signed a generational agreement, which is protected by national law (make it up, don’t take it seriously). Of course, if they live in peace and order, they enjoy much better obligations than ordinary laborers.
"Okay, just do it."
As soon as Tang Li made the final decision, he immediately decided that all the women copied the Qi family's family training, and the servants copied the employee handbook.
No matter how dissatisfied everyone was, they didn't dare to say anything.
Tang Li's action directly suppressed everyone in the old house.
This matter reached the old man's ears immediately.
When Tang Li went to the old man's yard, the old man was very approving and said: "These people should take care of them, Xiao Li did the right thing."
Although he never cared about the affairs of the inner court, sometimes he felt bad. It's a pity that no mistress of the Qi family could control these women before.
It's different now, Tang Li has the ability, he must fully support her.
Tang Li smiled and said, "It's because I have my father backing me up. If you didn't back me up, those people wouldn't be so honest."
If the old man didn't support her, she wouldn't have the time to manage the inner house.
After the two talked a few words, Tang Li discussed with Dr. Xiang and Mr. Yun how the old man's health would be adjusted if she was not at home for the next month.
