Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 491;

Chapter 490: Lin Goro's silent means
Li Yu waved his hands and continued to walk into the house;

"Let's all be free."

"promise."

The two maids in the yard agreed, and hurriedly followed behind Li Yu. As soon as they entered the main hall, the two quickly gave the two maids who stayed behind in the room winks.

The maid in the room saw clearly that it was the head of the house who arrived, and hurriedly saluted immediately, and seeing the wink from the sisters, she turned into the back room calmly...

As soon as Li Yu sat down, the two maids serving in the main hall immediately brought the treasured tea leaves and a very delicate tea set.

A maid went to tell the two women staying behind in the kitchen to boil water, and after a while, she brought Li Yu a bowl of tea. The tea bowls were made of high-quality ceramics, and a set of eight very exquisite small ceramic bowls.

The mansion in front of Li Yu also bought nine sets of this new popular tea set. Li Yu picked up the bottom of one of the tea bowls and found that it was the product from the Jiangnan Zhang family with the best ceramic craftsmanship.

Li Yu is very satisfied with the set of tea bowls he entertained. The Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River is famous all over the world, but the price is ridiculously high. Just this set of tea sets, one teapot, eight tea bowls and butterflies, a set costs 60 Don't even think about the usual Xiaofugui's house, one or two sets can clean up all the savings in the family!
The most critical question is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. How many people are waiting for it? The Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River can make one or two sets a month, and the workmanship is very fine. , If you ask for quality but not quantity, you can't do much in a year.

The two tea-making maids seem to have been trained to control the temperature of the hot water just right. Li Yu picked up the tea and put it under his nose to smell it, then closed his eyes gently, and took another sip.

It tastes the same as the small Jiangnan tea that I ate, and Li Yu pondered while eating the clear tea in his mouth. He didn't know how well the group of stewards who went to Jiangnan to deal with the tea business did their jobs...

Let’s not talk about Li Yu sitting in the main hall tasting tea here, but only talk about the wife of Liu’s family, the former chief steward of the Hou’s Mansion in Jianguo County. Although her son Tiedan is already 16 years old, she got married early, and she is thirty at the moment. He looked like he was just a few years old, and he had never touched cold water since he was a child. He was taken care of and grew up, but he was born in the second family of the Li family.

I have always been thinking about the fact that my position as chief steward was deposed. A few years ago, my husband died of illness, and I was deprived of the right to be the chief steward. These successive blows made Mrs. Liu's life miserable.

Even though he is still responsible for all the errands in the mansion, it is still not as good as the steward in the backyard. Although no one dares to laugh at himself because of the surnames on both sides of his mother-in-law's family, and there is nothing disrespectful. Look at yourself, but after all, you are not happy in your heart.

The lady of the Liu family took over the post of the chief steward of the backyard from her mother's mother, and has been living in the west courtyard of the backyard of the Hou's Mansion in Jianguo County.

It was rewarded by the third-generation head of the Li family in Lantian when her aunt was the steward. After Madam Liu got the inheritance of the steward from her mother, she naturally inherited the courtyard.

In the past few days, she couldn't live anymore. A few days ago, she heard a group of maids and servants who came back from Xiumu in Chang'an City talk, and she knew that Mr. Lang had been promoted to the title again, and now he is already a strong Marquis.

Mr. Lang will be returning to his residence in a few days, and now the title of Marquis of Jianguo County has spread wildly for hundreds of miles.

Mrs. Liu felt even more uncomfortable. The more she lived in the backyard of the mansion, the more uncomfortable she felt. She thought that when Mr. Lin came back in the next few days, then Lin Xiaoniang would come back with him, and she had to face that... look again Seeing Lin Xiaoniang showing off, wouldn't Mrs. Liu feel even more uncomfortable?

Lang Jun has been promoted to an incomparably noble marquis, which means that the status of Lin Xiaoniang, the new chief steward of the backyard, has improved a little bit and is much more noble. All of this belongs to me...

Yesterday Mr. Lang came back from Chang'an with the Li family, and the plaque on the mansion was replaced by that of the Marquis of Jianguo County. Mrs. Liu was even more frustrated. She didn't eat last night, and she was served by a maid early this morning. After lazily eating a few mouthfuls of corn porridge, he went directly to lie on the couch again, and fell asleep in a daze.

Sleeping in a daze, that wicked son was tossing around to go out to the brewery to take care of the wine, and he was still yelling in the yard outside, which was extremely annoying, so he finally left, and a few maids were in the outer hall again Why is there no one to worry about?

It was a group of people who didn't understand the rules. The lady of the Liu family opened her eyes, her face was very embarrassed, and she sat up alone. It happened that two maids came in hurriedly from outside, and Mrs. Liu scolded them without waiting for the two maids to stand still;
"Why are you so flustered? I'll just go back to sleep and you'll just keep talking outside. Where did you learn the rules?"

The two maids were reprimanded before they came in. Not only did they not feel uncomfortable and angry, but they smiled happily. They both approached the bed together. One took Lady Liu's clothes without saying a word, and the other happy report
"Boss, please get up quickly, the big one likes things, the Patriarch has come to our house, you should get up and serve him!"

After the maid finished speaking, she quickly took the clothes and put them on Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu thought she heard it wrong. As an old man who has passed away, how can he invite the head of the house into the house?
"What? The head of the family is here? Is it because your eyes are wrong?"

"Oh, my good lady, my servant has been serving you for 18 years, and I have also watched your husband grow up with his own eyes, how can he still recognize his own husband?
No one can mistakenly recognize the head of our own family. Although Mr. Lang came in alone, a large group of guards are waiting outside our door. The servants and servants can see clearly, and they can't be wrong!

There are also Langjun's personal maids, and the two young ladies of the Liang family are also outside, and they are not allowed to come in. The steward, please get dressed quickly, and you can't make Langjun wait for a long time! "

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but nod her head. That's true. Regardless of the tens of thousands of members of the Li family, no one has ever misunderstood the head of the family. After she figured out that her maid would not be mistaken, Mrs. Liu also began to panic stand up;
"Oh! Okay, hurry up, hurry up, don't wear this suit, the owner of this white shirt is the most disgusting, hurry up, hurry up and change it and bring it here."

"Ask my lady which one to change?"

"Hurry up, change to the heavy green one. That's what Mr. Zou wears, and Lin Xiaoniang is also a little lighter. Mr. Lang likes this color, take it out quickly, don't I still have a lot of clothes?" Have you never worn new clothes..."

"Yes, yes, don't panic, Chief Manager, this servant will take it out right now."

"Can I not panic, Mr. Lang has been sitting for a while."

The two maids quickly took out a brand-new set of satin clothes that had not been worn once, and waited for Mrs. Liu to dress. Mrs. Liu asked anxiously while tidying up;

"Who is the foreman on duty outside today? Your lord may not allow others to come in. Do we have waiters in the main hall to arrange for us?"

Don't look at that Mrs. Liu has been taken down as the chief steward of the backyard, but she still enjoys the special rights of the chief steward. The maids around her are still a group of maids who have served her since she was a child and have not been transferred away by Lin Rongniang. It is the top-level configuration of the number one steward of Li's inner house.

But no one has ever come to say a word, except for Li Yu who can deprive her of her rights, Lin Rongniang listens to her Aye Niang nagging every day, and must not take back all the maids and servants of the former chief steward, so Lin Rongniang Never say a word.

Lin Wulang told his precious girl all day long, never to provoke the former chief steward, otherwise the old lady behind her would come out, even steward Liu would not dare to talk nonsense!That's the wet nurse of the fourth-generation head of the Li family in Lantian who was registered in the family tree by Li's second wife!

Even when the previous patriarch was around, he had to respect Youjia's existence. He didn't think that the previous patriarch would always call the old lady Niangniang when he saw her. She was called Niangniang since she was a child, but no one dared to treat the old lady like a human being!
Therefore, the configuration of maids around Mrs. Liu is still the same. Every four personal maids are on duty and rotate every three days. There are a total of six personal third-class maids, two leading second-class maids, four cooks, and four The eight wives take turns to help, and when they go out, there are eight strong slaves assigned by Li's second bedroom to follow, a total of 32 people serve one person, this is the prestige of the number one steward in the backyard of Li's second bedroom!
The two maids who had just dressed Mrs. Liu hurriedly combed her hair again. Seeing his lady ask a question, one of them answered obediently;

"If you go back to the big steward, sister Yueru is on duty outside today, so don't worry, with sister Yueru's intelligence, I'm afraid your lord's lunch will be used in our house today."

Madam Liu was in a hurry when she heard that Yueru, the smartest maid under her command, was on duty outside, so she immediately calmed down, sat calmly in front of the dressing table and began to dress up.

The wooden cabinets for the dressing table were built by the owner of the family. There are not many capable people, except for the ones sent to the palace. There are only five sets rewarded by Li's second wife.

The two ladies in the backyard were rewarded to be concubines. Lin Rongniang was promoted to the chief steward and just rewarded her with one set. The remaining two sets were rewarded by Mr. Liu after they were finished. One set was given to Mrs. Liu's old man A Niang, I gave one set to Mrs. Liu, and brought it back to use in the new house.

Although many people asked the children of the public loser to build it separately, and some carpenters with good craftsmanship were invited to go back to build it, but this kind of one that the gentleman confessed to make is the same batch as the characters in the palace, and it was built separately from others. But it is very different.

"Oh, I'm relieved to have Yueru outside. After a while, you take the time to tell the kitchen that you will reward them heavily for what you did today. If you dare to be negligent, don't blame me for being cruel and cruel. point.

Even if I don't work as the chief steward of the backyard, I can still enforce our Li's family law. Don't forget that I still have the status of the first-class maid on my head. The three-generation old Patriarch personally rewarded me. Even if the two concubines in the backyard met me when they were first-class maids, they would not dare to come to be presumptuous. "

"only!"

"only!"

"Don't worry, the manager. The servant will go to the kitchen to explain in person later, so you can dress up at ease. The kitchen is full of your children and nephews, and no one will mess around."

Another maid at the side picked up a piece of red paper and handed it over. Mrs. Liu gently opened her small cherry mouth and held the red paper without moving. The maid handed over the red paper and spoke with a smile;

"Miss, don't worry, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of you. You see, Miss Lin has been promoted to a new manager, and she still has to salute you every time I meet.

Besides, all fools know that the chief steward of the inner house in the backyard will return it, and the servant girl will say something bad, even if it is not returned to you, the lady,

Our little lady is also thirteen, at most ten years after she matures, she, Lin Xiaoniang, will immediately have to vacate the position of the backyard steward.

Isn't it a joke that she, an outsider, wants to occupy the number one steward of our Li family's inner house? "

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu easily opened the red paper in her mouth, and nodded happily. Another maid next to her wanted to speak, but her lips moved and she held back.

Lady Liu, who was about to get up to serve outside the main hall, immediately sat still. She has been in power for many years with such a vicious vision, and she can see something wrong just by glancing at the corner of her eye.

"What? Just say what you want to say, don't you feel uncomfortable holding it in your stomach?"

The maid who wanted to speak was choked, and quickly nodded in agreement;

"It's the chief steward. This servant just wanted to say that when Mr. Lin hadn't returned to the mansion a few days ago, Aye Linwulang, Miss Lin's, went to the chief steward of our Lin family with the [-]th surname of Li to come forward and make a recommendation in person. , was decided by the head of the Lin family, and accepted into the household registration of the Lin family with nineteen surnames...

At this moment, Lin Xiaoniang has entered our household registration with the nineteenth surname of Li, and now... she is no longer an outsider..."

The maid lowered her head and her voice became smaller and smaller until finally she couldn't hear anything...

"what?"

Mrs. Liu exclaimed, her face turned pale instantly. Others didn't know what she meant, so how could Mrs. Liu not know what Lin Wu's method was for?

It is impossible for an outsider to sit in the position of the number one steward in Li's inner house for a long time. Even if she sees her again, the Patriarch will at most let her be a three or two year old to spoil her. The reason why Mrs. Liu is not in a hurry to seize power is that Because Lin Rongniang is definitely an outsider!

I didn't expect that Lin Xiaoniang's Aye, Lin Wulang usually does not show the mountains and does not show water, it is really a good way, calculating the time must be the first time I heard that Lang Jun was promoted to Marquis, he found the Li family's imperial army The elders of the Lin family came forward, and it is impossible to succeed immediately by asking the Lin family to come forward suddenly. I am afraid that the plan for this road has already been made before?
From this point of view, it seems that she is extremely passive. It is impossible for Lin Xiaoniang's Aye Linwu to have such a means. It must be the Lin who gave the advice.

That woman is not easy, she can stand out and ask the previous patriarch to hand over the custody of the husband to her, just this one thing is enough to know that she is a powerful character.

Such a battle clearly shows that he wants to take the position of the chief steward of the inner house!snort!No wonder that Lin Xiaoniang only ordered two personal maids, the number one in charge has never been arrogant, and the waiters are not neat, so low-key is to sneak behind the scenes...

So what if you are Langjun's wet nurse?Even if your aunt gave birth to Mr. Lang with one hand, so what, after all, it was not written in my family history of Li, right?
Is it only you, Lin Xiaoniang, who has a mother to rely on, and I don't have a mother?It's really too much to deceive others, to do such things quietly under the nose?
What's more, you have entered the household registration of the Lin family of the imperial army who is the second room of the Li family. What can you do if you enter the Lin family? God can't...

Mrs. Liu's face was fifty degrees below zero, and her voice seemed to be icy;
"I really underestimated this family. Will Mrs. Lin really support me from behind, as if I didn't jump out of the rock without my mother?"

Another maid beside Mrs. Liu said cautiously;

"Reporting to the steward, this servant thinks that we should go out and serve the gentleman quickly. When the steward leaves today, you should go and visit the old lady as soon as the steward is in the evening. What should I do?"

"Don't panic, hold your breath, and go! Go out to serve the Patriarch first, and we'll talk about the rest of the afternoon. Just do as you said, and you will go out one by one in a while, and go to the mansion behind to see if Auntie is resting. If Auntie is resting, just wait." Waiting for A Niang to wake up, and then hurry to let me know, I can't wait until night..."

"only!"

The three masters and servants discussed everything, and when they reached the door of the back room, Mrs. Liu stood and paused for a while, then got up to clean up her mood, put on a stiff smile, walked out of the door of the back room, and walked through the two rooms. After the house, he came to the main hall to meet Li Yu.
