Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 526;

Chapter 520;
Li Yu was let into the main hall and did not sit down immediately, but dangled her hands behind her back to look around, the maid could only follow, Rong Niang waved her hand to stop her two close-fitting little padded jackets, and followed Li Yu alone. Walking around the yard.

Rong Niang introduced while walking;

"Look, Lord Hou, this is the room where the slaves live, this is the room where the slaves embroider, and that is the room where the slaves eat tea..."

"Well, not bad, you are enlightened, and you are willing to arrange a decent yard for yourself. It's nice to be next to Mrs. Situ. I think you two can talk together. By the way, what is this small yard doing? ?”

"Going back to Master Hou, this one is for Xiaoyu. She lives in this yard with two third-class maids, which happens to be a small courtyard with five rooms. Let's go in and have a look, Master Hou."

"Okay, then go in and take a look."

After entering the courtyard, Li Yu looked around and muttered;

"Okay, okay, where are you going to get Xiaoqing? Living with you is convenient for serving you?"

"No, Lord Hou, Xiaoqing is in the small courtyard on the west side. This courtyard is exactly the same as Mrs. Situ's. There is a small courtyard at both ends, which happens to live in the two of them, and each has two third-class maids. The configuration is similar to that of the Wang family. The ladies and the Situ family's ladies are exactly the same, with two personal maids and four third-class servants."

Lin Rongniang deliberately explained her configuration this time clearly, eloquently.

Li Yu didn't care about listening to the casual agreement;

"It's good, we both grew up on your mother's milk, and you grew up with me and took care of me from a young age. I have long felt that it was wrong to live in such a small house with such a status and background. Remind me How many times you don't pay attention to these,
And your two personal maids even went to the central courtyard to sleep in a room with four third-class maids, what's the matter?
Let's not say that your status is not suitable for that, just say that it has been spread, and others will not come to point out that Ben Hou treats the meritorious people who grew up together? "

Rong Niang responded while walking;

"Yes. The slave family thought too simple before. They didn't take care of Lord Hou's name. The slave family is guilty."

Li Yu looked at Rong Niang's little butt with a grin, the smile on his face was as cheap as he wanted;
"Guilty must be there, but I don't want to blame you, Master Hou. Even if I want to punish you, I have to punish you at night..."

Li Yu slapped Rong Niang's butt as he spoke, Rong Niang acted as if she hadn't seen it, she still agreed in a calm manner;

"Thank you Lord Marquis for not being guilty."

Li Yu reached out and pinched Rong Niang's face;

"You're welcome, you should have done this a long time ago, oops, you've turned back to the main hall again, let's go in and have a rest, I've walked a lot this day, and I'm almost numb to my feet!"

"Master Hou, sit up."

"Ah."

Rong Niang waited for Li Yu to sit down and then turned her head to order the servants;

"Xiao Yu arranged hot water to scald Lord Hou's feet. It took him a day to soak in the water."

"Wei! The lady waits for a while, and the servants will go immediately."

Xiao Yu took two third-class maids and left to boil water. Here, Rong Niang habitually stood behind Li Yu, gently pinching Li Yu's shoulders;

"Report to Lord Hou, there is something I want to discuss with Lord Hou, please give him an idea."

Li Yu was really tired after a busy day, he closed his eyes and enjoyed it as soon as Rong Niang gave him a shoulder squeeze.

"Speak, little beauty, Master Hou will give you consideration."

"No. What the slave family wants to say is that the chief steward is not good. He has been promoted to the number one steward in the backyard with the favor of Lord Marquis. The slave family has been working hard for two months and dare not slack off for a moment!
However, our Li family originally had nineteen surnames, and there were two more people with two surnames in the future. The population is too large, and the slave family is not very smart. I tried my best to remember, but I still can't tell which family belongs to it. Always make one head and two big ones. "

The slave family has thought about it for a long time, although the Lord Marquis is very kind, but the slave family is not a man of affairs, the body has been tossed and exhausted for the past two months, and the body is extremely tired, even eating very little..."

Rong Niang was talking about her difficulties, Li Yu opened her eyes, at this time the maid brought the wooden basin, Xiao Yu squatted down and waited for Li Yu to take off her shoes and socks, Li Yu frowned and said;

"Hmm! I understand this a little better. There are more than 200 people in the mansion with [-] surnames, and there are people in every family. It's really not a good balance,"

"It's not too much to report to the Marquis. Many things have been dealt with by the former chief steward, and there are indeed not many miscellaneous things left. It's just that I came from a small family of servants. I don't have any experience in this field. It's really messed up." I'm so devastated, if this continues, I don't know how long I can live, and I can serve Lord Hou for a few more years..."

"What are you talking about, really! Why are you talking more and more outrageous? Isn't it just an errand, if we can't do it well, we just don't do it, what's wrong with the house can't afford you? Be good, let's not talk about those frustrations talk."

For this gentle and obedient girl who grew up with him since she was a child, Li Yu took it very seriously. When she heard Rong Niang say something ugly, she immediately became unhappy, and she began to coax her after a few words of scolding. .

"Well, so I want to discuss it with Lord Hou, and I can't do anything well. Why don't you resign from this job and rest for a while, but I ask Lord Hou to approve this matter."

"Since that's the case, then it's okay to not do it. For sure, Tanchun asked someone to pass on Li Zhong, and Rong Niang's position as chief steward was removed from the clan and she no longer held the position. It's really not worthwhile to wear out because of a false name. "

"It's the head of the house. The servants are going now."

Li Yu's feet felt much more comfortable after soaking for a while;

"Put on, put on Xiao Yu's shoes, Master Hou has something to do ahead."

"promise."

After wiping Li Yu's feet, Xiaoyu promised to put on shoes and socks for the Patriarch.

Rong Niang achieved what she wanted in her heart, and she became more at ease, and asked attentively from the side;
"Master Hou, you won't be staying at my slave's house tonight? Why don't you go to work after dinner?"

Li Yu walked out while waving his hands;
"No, no, it's not cost-effective for you to be physically and mentally exhausted for the position of a big manager. I was thinking of flattering you, so it's better not to do it!
have to!Just take a good rest for a while, I won’t rest here recently, you are no longer in charge at the moment, you can sleep in peace tomorrow, Master Hou won’t bother you, you will be raised for half a month Let's talk about other things, right!If you are really uncomfortable, ask someone to invite a gentleman to come and have a look, and take two bitter medicines to recuperate your body, so that you can fully recover after a good rest. "

Rong Niang bowed calmly;
"Yes, thank you Lord Hou for your concern. Auntie said that she had inquired around and found a better one. She said it was a shop in the southwest corner of Chang'an City. Auntie said that it would be better to go to the gentleman's shop to have a look. , and relax while playing for a while.”

Li Yu walked swaggeringly in the yard, the sky was already getting dark, but it can still be seen that the whole yard is cleaned so that people don't feel sick at all, Li Yu responded while admiring the yard;

"Well, this idea is really good. I think it can be carried out, but you have to ask the Lin family to send out a few guards to follow you. That's right! Take your mother to Chang'an City, don't rush back, and don't rush to take advantage of something.

Since you have no errands to worry about, just live in Chang'an City for a few days so that you can learn a lot. It's not easy for her to hold the three of us all these years, so just stay longer and visit Chang'an City a few more times. money?After a while, I will tell the accountant to give you a thousand strings to take with you, and just return it when you come back if you can't spend it all.

And ah!The military book I was reading in the General's Mansion is still in our yard under the quilt on my couch. Remember to bring it back to me when you come back. I only read half of it. I reported it to my uncle and allowed me to take it out. Study in the study. "

"It's Lord Hou! I remembered it. When I go, I take out the book of war and put it in my bag, lest I forget it when I leave."

Li Yu nodded, and continued to walk unhurriedly;
"Speaking of your Lin family, today I have returned all the important matters of guarding the family and future Li's blood to your Lin family. Now that Manager Liu has also entered the Lin family's household registration, he has also been bound under the Lin family's name. Before you leave, call According to the rules, people report to Manager Liu, and he will naturally arrange for the guards of the Lin family to follow him.

This must not be forgotten, we can't suffer from the previous loss, bring more people out, some ghosts and monsters who don't open their eyes will not dare to come forward to provoke you. "

Rong Niang led a group of maids to send Li Yu to the gate of her yard to salute respectfully;
"Yes, the slave family will follow Master Hou's instructions, and will not go on the road alone. Send Hou Master off respectfully."

"No courtesy, no courtesy, go in, come in, why are there so many rules in a backyard?"

After Li Yu finished speaking, she left Rongniang's place without looking back. Rongniang turned around and took the girls back to the main hall to sit down. The two personal maids separated on both sides.

Rong Niang's face was much more relaxed than before, and she was obviously less depressed, Xiaoqing knew it well.

"Miss, should we report to Aunt Lin's family what the Patriarch promised, so that Manager Lin and Auntie won't worry about it?"

"Don't worry, the Marquis already knows it in his heart, and he has agreed to it, there will be no more accidents, and it will be all right when you go back after dinner and explain the matter clearly."

"No, the servant girl should go back and report, and she can explain it more clearly."

"Ah."

Xiaoyu beside him frowned;

"My lady, from now on, not only will I be the chief steward, but I won't have the fifty-percent monthly rule."

Rong Niang looked at Xiao Yu indifferently;

"It's nothing. Miss Wang also resigned from the job in charge? Lady Situ also asked to resign from all the affairs of the accountant? By the way, what about the news I asked you to inquire about? Can you come back with some clues?"

Seeing these questions, Xiaoqing immediately took two steps closer, and whispered in front of Rongniang's ear;
"Miss Qi, those two dismissed all duties but not only did they not lose a lot of money last month, but each yard went to get a hundred coins back!"

"I knew Hou Ye wouldn't be stingy, so you still need to worry about those things? Xiaoyu, you just can't hold your breath, and it's not easy to get those fifty pennies in your hand.
It's just that the lady of the Liu family has resigned and is still dealing with the miscellaneous affairs of the house, or else we just want to keep the nineteen family members under control?

That is an impossible thing, I know it well, and everyone knows it too, Lord Hou is not someone who can be easily fooled, it is better to let him out than to be ungrateful.

Lord Hou raised us up on a whim last year, but this high place is very cold, not everyone can sit firmly, what the Liu family said is the truth and not alarmist, Lord Hou must regret the job of promoting me back then , but it's hard to say it.

Today is the proof of this. When I asked to resign from my post here, Master Hou never said a word of objection. Don't you understand?This moment is that moment. "

Xiao Yu smiled heartlessly;

"My lady, you have read a lot of books with the Patriarch. You are literate and knowledgeable, and your slaves can recognize dozens of characters, but you always forget them. How can you compare with your lady?
Even these dozens of words were learned by my aunt as a third-class maid ~ when she was serving the timber warehouse manager for more than ten years, and then taught it to the slaves, otherwise the slaves would be blind? "

"By the way, Xiaoqing, who did your mother serve before, why didn't she listen to you?"

Xiaoqing still had that steady expression;
"Returning to my wife, slaves and maids don't talk much, so my lady doesn't know. My aunt is in charge of household registration. She has been working there all her life. She has never been in the mansion. It doesn't count when she receives monthly regulations. If you don't come to the mansion, you can't take it back, right?"

Xiao Yu chirped on the side;

"So! Sister Xiaoqing knows a lot of characters, and she is more knowledgeable than slaves. Her mother is serving the chief steward in charge of household registration. She often has to write a lot of characters. She can learn better by watching, my aunt Mother is the chief steward of the wood storehouse who is serving, and she usually doesn't write except when going in and out of the house, so her knowledge is limited."

Rong Niang was half relieved today, and she was also in a good mood, so she chatted with the two serving maids, not talking about the excitement of the master and servant over here, but about the former chief steward over there, Mrs. Liu.

The lady of the Liu family asked someone to ask her old lady, and only then did she know that the lady had persuaded Lin Wulang and his wife to agree to let their daughter resign from the job of the number one manager in the inner house. Of course, Miss Liu was excited , she didn't expect that her old lady would not make a move if she didn't. This move was a big move, and she forced them to give up their seats, which is really amazing.

The words brought back over there made me think a little bit more these days, Mrs. Liu knew it well, and hurriedly asked people to go out and told those who were waiting for the Patriarch to come back to wait patiently, and gave some money to those who served in the front yard, asking for help Take care.

Mrs. Liu also knew in her heart that after all, she was no longer in charge, and she could no longer use her prestige to order people around, so she had to learn some tricks. What A Niang said was right, steel is easy to break.

Mrs. Liu had something to worry about, so she was not in the mood to talk to her servants. She took a half-embroidered towel and carefully embroidered it to pass the time. Until the sunset, the foodie Linger rushed in again;
"...wheeze... Qi Niangzi..."

Mrs. Liu gave this idiot a blank look;
"Catch your breath first before speaking."

"It's a lady... huh, huh..."

Ling'er, who had recovered her breath, had a happy expression on her face, and said happily;

"My lady, the third elder of the Liu family sent someone to report that four hunters had been out in the mountains for almost ten days and just came back half an hour ago.
They beat two blind bears, one male and one female, and seven gazelles. The blind bears were all stabbed to death. The gazelles were living creatures that fell into the trap.

Doesn’t the Patriarch like to eat these wild animals? This will be enough for the Patriarch to have for a while. The third elder received a letter from his wife in the afternoon saying that he wanted prey, so he stopped it directly. What about in the house!
The gazelle hasn't come yet to be slaughtered, but someone has already been sent to the Lin family to ask for a good sheep slaughterer, my lady!We have to find the Patriarch. Wouldn't it be nice to invite the Patriarch to our house tonight for a barbecue party? "
