Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 326;
Chapter 320;
Tanchun seriously retorted;

"Sister, what you said is wrong. There was no such thing as table noodles back then. The gourmet recipe of cooking in an iron pot was invented by Mr. Lang. When A Niang was a first-class maid, she didn't have these at all. How does she eat it?"

Xichun put down his chopsticks and tried to defend himself;
"Isn't it? It's true that there wasn't one back then, but don't be stubborn. Even though A Niang was the most expensive back then and served A Lang personally all day long, she never received such treatment from us."

After listening to what his elder sister said, Tanchun also felt that it was reasonable, and what he said was true, so he nodded in agreement, and began to eat and drink again.

Yingxiang was so happy to hear the two good little sisters talking, she could only sigh heavily and remain silent.

Looking at Yingxiang, who was usually simple and honest, Tanchun suddenly sighed and asked in some surprise;
"Sister Yingxiang, what's the matter with you, you were fine just now, why are you sighing, come here, I'll get you a piece of twice-cooked pork,
Mr. Lang knows that the three of us like this meat dish, and he is always reluctant to eat a few mouthfuls, so I leave it to us. I see this clearly in my heart better than anyone else.

Which group of sisters likes to eat, the husband always tells what to do in the kitchen, like sister Bai He likes to eat fried bamboo shoots, the husband tells Li Yi and the others to bring fresh bamboo shoots back to stir-fry meat.

But when it was fried and served, Mr. Lang would simply eat two bites every time, only staring at other dishes. I don’t know who I learned from Mr. Lang, who is a daughter’s mind. It hurts people so much... huh?Eat, sister Yingxiang, what kind of stupidity are you doing? "

Ying Xiang sighed again, and then said resentfully;

"Who is Lang Jun and what is his disposition, all Zhuangzi are clear about it, and even blind people know that Lang Jun is a great kind person.

The reason I sigh is because you are all born in a family, you can stay in the mansion for a lifetime, only me and Mr. Lin are in charge, we are from outside, and we are registered as good citizens.

Sooner or later, you will get married, and when you get married, you will have to leave the mansion. We can understand that Mr. Lin is in charge.
It is estimated that nine times out of ten the house will be taken over, and without looking at the position of chief steward that has been vacant for several years, Mr. Lang resisted all the arguments and insisted on supporting Sister Rongniang with one hand, and gave her the position.

But as for me, my family is planning a marriage for me recently, and when I saw those matchmakers coming to my door, I wanted to kill them.

Because if they talk about my Aye, I will get married. Once the marriage is too far away, the Lord will let go and agree that I will continue to stay in the mansion to serve.
But don't I want a home?Besides, whether the future husband will agree or not is another matter.

Now there is still my aunt blocking me, who always advises me, Aye, wait a little longer, and look again, Dobi compares the husbands of several families so that he can choose the one he likes, but I know better than anyone else that it is impossible Block it for a lifetime, right?
I also understand that it's time to get married. This is every woman's life, and no one can escape it...

In my heart, the more I thought about it, the more disturbed I became, so I quickly escaped and went back to the mansion to be on duty, so I could feel happier in my heart, otherwise, I would really be driven crazy. "

After Yingxiang finished telling her grievances, tears rolled down like beads with a broken thread, and Tanchun was in a panic. The two sisters, Xichun, put down the bowls and chopsticks and quickly wiped them with silk scarves...

These three and Rongniang, the four of them are always on duty in one shift, and they are just like their own sisters. When they heard Yingxiang's pain, Xichun and Tanchun felt bad for her too.

Isn't that right, Tanchun thought that he and Xichun were both descendants of the family who came from Longxi, so he didn't need to think about anything, just waited for the future, Lang Jun would appoint a reliable one among the nineteen surnames of the family's children, and then he could Have a good time.

Even if you get married in the future, the mansion will give you at most three to five days to rest and bathe, and then you have to come back to work on duty in peace.

Only when you have a baby can you be released for half a year, which may be very helpless for others.

However, for the son of a family who can come to the mansion to be on duty, it is an errand that everyone envies.

During the famine years, I don't know how many poor people wanted to sell themselves as slaves to be Li's servants, but it was extremely difficult. Most of the poor people who wanted to enter this circle were blocked by A Lang.

In addition to the sons brought by Longxi, these four generations of patriarchs, including Alang, only took in 73 newcomers, but those people were overjoyed.

Because once you become a servant of the Li family, all the men, women and children in your family will be supported by the Li family. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing, expenses, and housing. Don't worry, there is no food in the calamity year and you have to change your son to eat.

Li's family gave birth to a slave servant, who was a householder who had fled from refugees, and the most admired crowd, except for the piece of paper that restrained them, they were called servants in the first place.

In other places, life is better than that of some rich peasants, but this is not the most powerful thing. What makes the family envious even if they have children is to work as an errand in the mansion.

Hundreds of big families had sons and servants, and the population had multiplied for five or six generations. Every family had dozens of people, and some big families had hundreds of people.

There are more than 200 servants who can come to the mansion to serve as errands, but only [-]-[-] people. The second wife of Li's family in Lantian is an old rule handed down from Longxi. As long as you come into the mansion, you will be a errand handed down from generation to generation.

Just like past spring, Tanchun's A Niang was the first-class maid who served A Lang. According to Li's rules, the descendants can choose one person to enter the mansion.

If there is no daughter and only male descendants come in, he will be an ordinary steward when he enters the mansion. If the daughter inherits, he will still be a first-class status.

This is the Li Clan of Longxi, thousands of years of rules and traditions, although there are no written records and regulations, but it has been enforced in this way until today.

Tanchun, the mother of Xichun, is famous for her ability and careful planning. She has a relationship with Ma Benchu, the chief manager of the granary, who is a relative and niece of Wufu.

Tanchun's mother made a plan early on, and begged the steward of Ma University to intercede, and on the condition of lowering her status, she retired in advance, in exchange for her two daughters, and the opportunity to enter the mansion at the same time, as a third-class maid.

Only two girls from this family came into the mansion, and they were immediately imitated by the sisters who grew up together. Those who can work in the mansion, which one does not have a natal family, and which one does not have some power behind them?

Ever since, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea each showed their magical powers, and compared them to Tanchun's old lady's standards, they sent two daughters in one after another, and those who had a daughter added their own niece to make up for it.

Therefore, for a period of time, there was no first-class maid in the mansion, and the highest status were only a few second-class maids.

It can be seen from this that it is not easy to be able to work in the mansion as an errand, and whoever falls on it is simply a blessing from God, and he has accumulated virtue in his previous life.

But Tanchun and Xichun also know that this sister Yingxiang is different from their maidservants. She is a good citizen and has not registered as a slave.
She was A Lang's favorite back then, and she was recognized by A Lang himself, just like Mr. Lin, and she was brought into the mansion to play with Mr. Xiao Lang.

For the Li family in Lantian, there is really no such example of outsiders entering the mansion on errands. No one is sure whether Yingxiang can continue to stay in the mansion after getting married.

Therefore, the two sisters Tanchun wanted to comfort Yingxiang with a few words, but they didn't know where to start.

The two grabbed Yingxiang's hand each, and silently accompanied Yingxiang to make trouble.

Suddenly, Tanchun came up with a sentence;
"Sister Yingxiang, I have an idea. I don't know if it will work. Do you want to hear it? If you agree, you will definitely be able to stay in the mansion for the rest of your life like us. Then pass it on to your daughter... and your daughter will be able to live in the mansion without worrying about food and drink for the rest of her life..."

Yingxiang was dozing off without a pillow, so before Tanchun could finish speaking, she interrupted her anxiously;
"What's the way, sister, tell me quickly..."

Tanchun thought he was smart and said;

"You can tell you, Aye, to join our Li family as a servant, so that you can live in the mansion for the rest of your life and enjoy the blessings.

As for the second-class maid, you can still ask your son to enter the mansion to inherit it, but most of them are asked to come in and inherit it, but I heard from Mr. Li that it can be exchanged..."

Yingxiang thought that Tanchun would come up with something, but it turned out to be this, so she couldn't help but let go of Tanchun's hand, and then sighed heavily.

Tanchun thought that Yingxiang looked down on her status as a servant, so he was a little unhappy, so he pouted and said;
"Sister Yingxiang, don't look down on us slaves, even though it's not as good as you are all good citizens and have your own land and property,
But our Li family has a son, and we don't care about the torn paper of the household registration, it's not very useful at all.

Look at our Li family, who has been here for more than 200 years from Longxi, when has one person died of starvation?Frozen to death?
Even the house is in charge of the family, which household does not have a family business of more than ten years?Can the people with good household registration come up with three or two strings at home? "

Yingxiang was optimistic that the sisters had misunderstood, so she explained;
"My good sister, I can't look down on your identities. Many people in my family escaped from the disaster, and a lot of them died of starvation on the way. When A Lang rescued us from the sea of ​​suffering, there was only a little half left.
I, Aye, and the rest of the men who survived were weeping in distress. After they were finally settled down by Alang, I saw your Li family give birth to a child.

I, Aye, negotiated with the clansmen, and wanted to join in, as a way of repaying Alang for his life, and as a way of finding support for the clansmen.

I will never starve to death again. Naihe mentioned it twice, but Alang didn't let go, so I was very helpless when I heard you mention this method. "

After hearing this, Tanchun suddenly realized;

"Oh, so it's not that you look down on us, that's good, sister Yingxiang, let's be sisters. If you look down on us, I feel very uncomfortable. As long as you don't look down on others, I can do it alone It's done for you!"

"Sister, are you here to make me happy?"

"Don't believe me, I have a very close relationship with my daughter Liu Xiaoniang, who was in charge of the inner house. If you don't believe me, ask my sister, she knows it well."

Xichun looked at Yingxiang and herself, and nodded;
"My younger sister didn't lie to you. She often shared a room with Liu Xiaoniang, and even went to pay a visit to the chief steward who took office."

Yingxiang said in surprise;
"You're talking about that thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who lives in the back yard?
What can she do? Even her mother has been put under the power of the previous Patriarch, and she has not been in charge for four or five years. She is a girl, can she be successful..."

The God of Tanchun said mysteriously;
"Sister Yingxiang, you don't know that, our family has more than 300 children, and there are hardly a few who dare not give their mothers face.

Their family is amazing, you see, you have grown up together with Mr. Lang in the mansion for seven or eight years, right?
After eight years of hard work, I have worked hard to serve my lord with all my heart, and now I have just been promoted to a second-class maid.

Liu Xiaoniang has been second class since she was born, and she has never served anyone before, but she was always served by her when she grew up.

And Mrs. Liu, since she was born, she has been a second-class maid. Think about it, if she is not good enough, can she do this? "

Yingxiang had never heard of such a new thing, and immediately exclaimed;
"What? Someone was born with the status of a second-class maid. This is impossible. The maids in the mansion have to be reviewed every year for promotion. They also need to be signed by the chief steward of the front yard and the chief steward of the back yard.

She must never make mistakes, but if there is a slight negligence, there will be no chance for promotion in this life. Why is she a newborn baby... can be a second-class, and others have worked hard for ten years to get promoted. She This... This is too strange, too childish? "

Xichun next to him also spoke;

"Tanchun didn't lie to you. The jobs in the mansion are all taken over from the previous generation. It's nothing unusual, but most of them are taken over when they grow up, and then they start to get monthly cases.

But whatever, there are always one or two exceptions, this Liu Xiaoniang is an exception, and let me tell you, Sister Yingxiang,
Don't look at the current situation, but as long as Liu Xiaoniang grows up, the position of the chief steward of the inner house will have to be returned to others. "

Yingxiang asked strangely;

"Why is this? Did the head steward of our family do anything wrong? Why do we have to let her out?"

Xichun said with a smile;

"Sister Yingxiang, do you understand that, her ancestors are in Longxi, who is the chief steward of the backyard of the inner house, and there are many relatives in Longxi, how many of the clan elders in Longxi do they know?"

Yingxiang asked anxiously when she heard that the backstage of the girl's film was so powerful;

"Then, can the affairs of my family be accomplished?"

Tanchun patted his heart and said;

"Don't worry, you don't need Mr. Li's consent, every generation of our Li family will recruit some servants to supplement the number of people.

Mr. Lang doesn't understand these things, so I'll ask Liu Xiaoniang to agree, and this matter will give you the whole thing, but it's a novel, at most it's your family, your dozen or so families, I But there is no way..."
