Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 512;

Chapter 510;
In the front yard of the Hou Mansion in Jianguo County, Lantian County, Li Zhong, the chief steward of the front yard, was on duty today. It was almost time for lunch, and the person Li Zhong sent out to ask if the patriarch would come back for lunch just returned.

"Reporting to the chief steward, the patriarch enjoys lunch at steward Zou Er's house at noon, and does not need to be the patriarch's meal."

"Boss Zou has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are second stewards. Which one are you talking about?"

The servant who was questioned was a third-class servant, and he also received an errand from his parents. He didn't make it clear at the moment, and seeing the chief steward's impatient look, he quickly added a sentence;
"Excuse me, Chief Manager. The villain didn't make it clear just now. She is the sister of Chief Manager Zou, the second manager of farming, Zou Shujuan, and the family of Manager Zou."

"Not guilty, send people to the small kitchen, one chef, two second chefs, and a few handymen, to Guanshi Zou's house."

"It's the big steward. Thank you big steward for not being guilty."

The servant quickly agreed and rushed to the patriarch's kitchen.

As soon as Li Zhong returned to his room, a servant came in to report;
"Report to the chief steward, the steward Lin Da in the backyard wrote a warrant, and sent someone to send it over."

"Oh? Please."

"Yes."

Li Zhong was a little surprised. The new chief steward of the backyard has never issued orders since he took office. What happened today? Thinking about using power?

He had to ask, Li's second house has hundreds of years of old rules, the number one steward in the backyard house, no matter which steward or chief steward he meets, he must be the next level up. Other than his mother, he is almost the most powerful existence, and all Longxi Li families follow this rule.

Xiao Yu went into Li Zhong's room and gave a blessing;
"The servant has seen the chief steward, and reported to the steward Li. My wife wrote a warrant and sent the servant to the front yard."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, she immediately presented Rong Niang's warrant respectfully.

"Exemption."

Li Zhong took the warrant and looked it over carefully twice, and after confirming that the stamps and stamps were all in place, and the seal was also there, he asked aloud;
"Does your wife have any other orders?"

"As for the chief steward, my wife said that all the work must be done before the arrival of Youshi, including all the furniture brought back from the timber warehouse, which must be arranged neatly, otherwise the nineteen servants who participated The family law of ten lashes is essential."

"Okay. The steward knows. You just wait here for a while and I will arrange it. It will be fine in a moment."

After dealing with the light rain, Li Zhong called out to his subordinates in the room;
"Come here, take out the name book that was on duty today, fill in the names of 19 people, and then go to the second gate to register and make a book, and then take the warrant of the chief steward of the backyard to check, and follow Xiaoyu to work in the backyard."

"only."

Li Zhong's subordinates immediately fetched the name book that was on duty that day, carefully filled in the names of 19 people, and then asked people to go out to arrange all the affairs, and the people came in to report after a while;
"Reporting to the chief steward, all 19 people have arrived, and none of them are on the list. We have also sent someone to take the list to Erdaomen to register and compile the book."

"Okay. Tell them to go in with Xiaoyu. Remember, you must explain clearly that you must finish the work at the seventh quarter of Shenshi. Don't wait until the time of Youshi. The first time that Manager Lin wrote the warrant, everyone cheered up. Put black on my face."

"only."

"Also! You must be careful when moving things. Steward Lin has many gifts from the Lord, but you must handle them with care, and don't cause disasters. Otherwise, when the steward gets angry, no one can save them. of."

"It's the big manager, and my subordinates will definitely explain what you said clearly."

"Well, let's go! Don't delay too long."

"only!"

Xiao Yu obediently saluted Li Zhong again, the rules were not messed up at all, and the etiquette was very thorough;
"Report to the chief steward, servants, please leave."

Li Zhong was very satisfied with the etiquette of the two personal maids beside Rongniang, and responded with a smile;

"Okay, sure."

"No, thank you, Steward."

Watching Xiaoyu leave with the troops, another second manager beside Li Zhong came over;

"It's really rare to report to the chief steward today. Steward Lin has always been low-key and scary. He has been growing up with Mr. Lang in the mansion all these years. Although he has a noble status, he is always kind to others. He even speaks in a low-key voice. carried out.

After taking office as the number one steward of the backyard, no one has ever issued orders. Today, the first time he wrote a warrant, he was so strict. If he was too late, he had to take the family law. Why did his subordinates feel that it was not like Mrs. Lin's usual style? "

Li Zhong folded his hands and looked out the window;

"The signatures are complete, the seal is brand new, and it was hand-delivered by Mrs. Lin's personal maid. There is nothing wrong with it. Don't be too suspicious. Let's just work according to the warrant."

"It's the big manager, but... do you think you should report to Miss Liu? After all, Miss Liu has been in charge of everything these past few years."

"It is said that the lady of the Lin family is now the number one steward of the orthodox backyard house, her warrants must be executed accurately, and there is no need to tell others about the matter.

But Mrs. Liu is not someone else, she has been in charge of the power all the time. Old Alang just took Liu Xiaoniang's name because he thought her black face was not pleasing to the eye.
But it also made it clear that the power still has to be handed over to the Liu family, and our lord is also a filial man, who promoted Mrs. Lin on a whim, but according to the lord's temperament, he will definitely follow the old man's wishes in the future and return the power To the Liu family, to Liu Xiaoniang's only daughter, so there is nothing wrong with saying it..."

Speaking of this, Li Zhong pondered for a while before he gave instructions to his personal maid;
"Go to the west courtyard at the back, and report the things here to Miss Liu, remember to learn everything, don't miss a word."

"promise."

"Don't worry, the chief steward, the servant will not say a word less, and will not add oil and vinegar."

Mrs. Liu here is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Liu. Because she is the youngest, everyone who is familiar with her calls her Miss Liu. They are used to it, so now even though they are over 30, these people still call her Xiaoliu. lady.

Besides, Miss Liu got up and ate breakfast today and then lay down to sleep again. Ever since she was taken over by the previous patriarch, she has kept such a lazy look.

After eating in the morning, you have to go back to sleep, and after the lunch, you have to rest for a while, and you have to go to bed early and get up early at night, until you have enough sleep for a beauty sleep.

Because it has been like this for several years, and I think less. Since Mrs. Situ and Mrs. Wang came in the backyard, Lin Rongniang, who is the closest to the patriarch, has grown up slowly, so the things that Mrs. Liu has to arrange are becoming more and more serious. Come less and less!
In addition, she looks the most like her own aunt, all kinds of things add up, this little lady Liu does not look like she is in her early thirties, but she is as delicate and beautiful as a flower in her early twenties, warm and moist as jade, with smooth skin There are many kinds of tenderness and style.

Today, Liu Xiaoniang went back to sleep as usual, not long after she got up to wash and dress up, she sat in the side hall and ate some hot water, she also imitated the patriarch and put some tea foam in it, it was very comfortable to eat.

Liu Xiaoniang put down the tea bowl in her hand and said casually;

"Don't mention it, the tea foam made by the patriarch tastes delicious, and it is much more fragrant than the tea bricks before."

"Isn't that right, lady, I heard that the stewards sent to the south have been away for several months, and they haven't even come back for the New Year. I guess there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with there. Later, my brothers were sent out again. I bought two and followed the team to the south, so these small tea leaves were sent back."

The other maid saw that her wife seemed to be in a good mood today, so she also came to answer;
"Mistress Qi reported that now the Supreme One only eats what our lord made, and no longer enjoys the tea bricks from before. She said that she will collect all the tea bricks and sell them on the grassland."

Liu Xiaoniang nodded and answered a few words;
"The patriarch's arrangement is all a stroke of genius, otherwise how could it be rumored that the patriarch is a star from the sky who came down to earth to assist the Supreme to become a wise king through the ages?
Just looking at the knowledge of the ancestors in the study room, you can know things that many people don't know. Except for the patriarch, there is no such powerful person in the world.
The matter of baijiu has just come to an end, and the major event of re-opening the Silk Road has been agreed, and there is also the sale of tea foam waiting to be arranged. A talented person like the patriarch who is full of energy and full of wisdom is really rare in a thousand years . "

"Isn't that right, lady, God knows what business the patriarch can come up with. The patriarch said that next year, all the clan members of Li's second room will be able to eat mutton and drink goat milk every day. Many clansmen can't believe it, but the slaves believe it. Really, didn't you see that Liu Duwei took his troops to Chang'an City to collect money early this morning?

The servant girl heard from Yanzi, who was serving in the front yard, that his elder brother went to collect money with Manager Liu. He said that there was a special warehouse in the household department of the imperial court, a big warehouse, and all the money in it was for this time. What about our Li family? "

Lady Liu glanced at the speaking maid;
"How much is a lot? There must be an approximate number, right?"

"My lady, I don't know the exact number. I heard from Yanzi that it's three or four million. I'm really scared to death. I think that three or four million is enough for all our clansmen to eat mutton and drink milk for a lifetime." I can't spend it all!"

Mrs. Liu took a blank look at the maid who was all staring when she talked about eating and drinking;
"I know how to eat and drink all day long, and I spent three or four million yuan on food and drink? Can't I accumulate some family property and pass it on to future generations?
So many clansmen on both sides of Lantian and Jialongxi are all taken away to eat and drink clean?What about future generations?
You have been with me for more than ten years, haven't you learned anything else?I just found out today that you and Ling'er, like the two idiots next to the patriarch, only eat and sleep. It's really strange. The patriarch has Agui and Daniu, and I have you and Ling'er. "

After Madam Liu said this, another third-class maid next to her blushed and lowered her head. She was probably called Ling'er. She was very strong and tall. It was obvious that she was a foodie.

In order to prove that she is not only good at eating and drinking, the maid who was reprimanded hastily added;
"My lady, the servants don't know how to eat and drink. The servants inquired about the news, saying that the old lady invited Lin Wulang and Mrs. Lin, the manager of Lin, to the old lady's house early this morning. I don't know what to discuss at the moment. Or let's start eating and drinking after discussing it! The old lady is so hospitable, this must be a table full of fish and meat..."

The maid just said a few serious words, and immediately turned to eating and drinking involuntarily, Liu Xiaoniang couldn't help stroking her forehead;
"What to eat? Both are vying for the position of the chief steward of the house in the backyard. One wants to take it back, and the other wants to sit still. How can we really sit and eat together? Even if you go over, you can leave after discussing it. , what are you thinking about in your mind, three sentences about eating and drinking?

What news?Did you just find out about this?Why is it that Auntie has been so secretive lately, and didn't tell me about such a big matter?

What can we discuss with their Lin family?Could it be that A Niang can persuade him, Lin Xiaoniang, to quit the job by herself? "

While Madam Liu said it again, resting her cheeks on her hand, she looked at the tea bowl on the table in front of her, when a leading second-class maid next to her couldn't help interjecting;
"Mistress Qi, this is really uncertain. The old lady has been in power all her life. What battles have she not experienced? What complicated things have she not dealt with? Even if they are forced to give up power, it is not impossible according to the servants? "

"That's right. My sister is right. Does the old lady have any means? It is not easy to take back the power of the lady."

Several masters and servants were talking, and a maid came in to report;
"My lady, the personal maid who is in charge of Mr. Li in the front yard asked to see her and said she has something important to do."

"Call her in."

"It's a lady."

"I have met my wife, and my wife is blessed."

"Get up without courtesy, what did Manager Li ask you to tell me?"

Regardless of the fact that Liu Xiaoniang has been taken to great power, speaking and doing things are still a majesty cultivated since childhood.

"Miss Qi, Miss Lin from the backyard just sent her personal Xiao Yu to come out and sign the first warrant,..."

The maid reported the matter just now clearly, and Liu Xiaoniang immediately said;
"reward."

"promise."

Ling'er, who had a good mouth, took two hundred Wen and handed it over, and sent the maid who reported the letter away.

"Miss, what should I do? This lady of the Lin family has always kept a low profile. Even though she was promoted to a new manager, she still lived in a very small courtyard. Now she has publicly changed to a larger courtyard. This... this is obviously for Take the position of the chief steward in the backyard at a steady pace!"

"Yes, yes, my lady, what Ling'er said is correct, what should we do? We can't ask her to take the position of chief steward, or..."

Liu Xiaoniang looked impatient, feeling as blocked as she wanted, and choked angrily;

"What else? He is the number one manager of the inner house, and it is only natural to arrange a big yard for himself. What else can we do? Should we send someone out to stop it?
Where is the patriarch?Is the patriarch in the mansion today? "

"Returning to my wife, the patriarch went out and said that he went to the steward Zou's house to discuss farming matters. The servants saw that the vixen charmed the patriarch, a shameless woman..."

Mrs. Liu said impatiently;
"Oh, that's all right, let's not say a few words. Zou Shuyi is in charge of farming. The patriarch has acquired so many fields and industries, and has also built water conservancy. He has spent a lot of money to build rivers and get new waterwheels.

Besides, the brewery needs so much millet, so we can plant as much as we can in the future, and it is good to save some. It is well known that the patriarch is concerned about farming, so how can we blame that woman Zou Shuyi? "

"But my lady, you didn't look at the vixen's appearance. She was in her early thirties and still pretended to be like the little daughter's family in front of the patriarch..."

Before Ling'er could say anything, her mouth was covered by today's team leader and second-class maid, and Mrs. Liu said angrily;
"Shut up! I'm in my early thirties, do you want to say something about me?"

Only then did the maid realize that she was in a hurry to show that she had kissed the wrong flattery, so she quickly stood with her eyebrows down;

"The servant deserves to die. The servant is fast-talking. How can he have such an idea? You know, my lady. The servant only eats and sleeps. She has served the lady for more than ten years and dare not neglect a single place. The loyalty of the servant can be learned from the sun and the moon."

Mrs. Liu was angry and wanted to laugh;
"Okay, okay, who doesn't know how well you eat and sleep, shut up quickly, and don't blame you!"

"Yes, yes, the servant girl will shut up now, but the lady really has to guard against that shameless person who knows how to seduce the patriarch all day long!
By the way, lady, how about we also send some people out to hunt in the mountains?Doesn’t the patriarch like to eat those wild game, we also ask people to go out to get a lot of them, and then ask the patriarch to give instructions on how to cook them, the servants are sure that the patriarch can definitely..."

Lady Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and immediately interrupted the maid;
"You go. Go immediately, first find the elders of our Liu family. There are more than a dozen hunters in our Liu family who like to hunt. Let's do it now!

Let’s take a look at all the game from those hunters’ homes and bring them to our house, and then tell the elders that they will specially arrange for those hunters and don’t do other things. From now on, they will come back from hunting in the mountains every month. First take it to the house of the head of our Liu family to choose.go! "

(Ms. Liu’s husband was the second head of the family with the surname Liu when she was alive. He said that he had to bring it to the head of the family’s house first, which meant that he would choose it first when he got it in Lady Liu’s own house.)
"Wei! This servant is going now."

After more than ten years, this foodie Ling'er finally made a useful suggestion, and his wife agreed to it as soon as he put it forward, but she smiled happily at this foodie Ling'er, and hurried out of the house as soon as she agreed. .

The maid Ling'er's strong body combined with a big porcelain butt made Mrs. Liu suddenly think of a problem in her busy schedule!
If Ling'er's strong figure sits on some man, and shakes him vigorously a few times, God, which man can bear it?
Why don't you shake your back and get sick?If she sits on the porcelain again, I'm afraid she will be able to twitch her waist, and I don't know if her man can bear it?However, I've seen this man with Ling'er before. He was so dry that he was so skinny that he was probably sucked by Ling'er...

Mrs. Liu is evilly guessing the size of the maid Ling'er.
