Man Tanghong

Chapter 433
The stewardess bent her stout waist and said in a humble tone.

The female steward is also an official. Although she is only a small female official from the ninth rank, she is also qualified to call herself a minister in front of Li Yuanji.

It was precisely because she was qualified to be a minister that she had the courage to talk to Li Yuanji.

In fact, when Li Yuanji prevented her from using torture on the maidservant, she guessed that Li Yuanji's sympathy was overflowing. She couldn't bear to see the maidservant being punished like this, and wanted to excuse the maidservant.

If she were an ordinary maidservant in the house, she would not hesitate to follow Li Yuanji's wishes and let the maidservant go.

Li Yuanji didn't even need to speak, as long as Li Yuanji frowned slightly, showing a hint of unbearable for this kind of thing, she would immediately let Lan Maid go.

But she is not, she is the female official of the mansion, the female official who is responsible to Yang Miaoyan.

Li Yuanji did not directly order her to let go of the maidservant as the male master of the house, so she had to give her a reason to explain to Yang Miaoyan.

Otherwise, if Yang Miaoyan asked about this matter, she would not be able to give Yang Miaoyan a suitable reason, and Yang Miaoyan would beat him down, but no one would take it for her.

Ever since the group of people in the house had internal thieves and were cleared up by Yang Miaoyan, she and her colleagues have become thoroughly cautious. Everything should be done according to the rules of the house, and Yang Miaoyan must be given a reasonable explanation for everything. , absolutely never make decisions without authorization, nor do things in the mind of the guessed master.

All in all, it is a sentence, the master must do well what the master has explained, and what the master has not explained, and it is not in his duty, absolutely do not make his own claims.

"what is the relationship?"

Li Yuanji asked himself and answered, "It has a lot to do with it."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji pointed to the imperial book given by Li Yuan and said: "Take a good look, is this imperial book as bright as new, and is it exactly the same as the one that was hung up a month ago?"

The steward followed Li Yuanji's instructions and found that it was as bright as new, exactly the same as it was hung up a month ago.

Can it be different?

It is wiped every day, and if the gold paint is peeled off, there will be a special person to repair it, of course it will be exactly the same as the new one.

However, she also understood what Li Yuanji meant.

Li Yuanji wanted to put other people's credit on Lan Maid's head, so as to excuse Lan Maid.

Although it can't stand the test, and it can't stand the details, but it is enough to explain to Yang Miaoyan.

You only need to change the maidservant's job to wipe Li Yuan's imperial book, and then report the truth to Yang Miaoyan.

A prince, who is also the master of the house, can patiently find an excuse for a maidservant, which is enough to exonerate the maidservant.

No matter how unscrupulous the excuses he made, or how unbearable to explain in detail, as long as he reported it to Yang Miaoyan, Yang Miaoyan would admit it, and would believe it firmly, and would also convince other people in the house.

This is called husband singing and wife following.

In this era, especially in powerful families, all wives who are against their own men are not considered good wives.

Because you are his other half, if you sing against him and keep him from stepping down, it will not do any good except to damage his prestige and prestige.

When others look down on him because you repeatedly contradict him, they will also look down on you.

Because you are one.

You are as blind as you are to how unbearable he is made by your repeated contradictory remarks.

Many people in later generations always like to classify this problem as a man's face and machismo.

actually not.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, husband and wife are one. Whether you have face or not depends on whether your significant other can help you earn face, not if you belittle him, you can elevate yourself.

In the eyes of outsiders, the more you belittle him, the more unbearable you are.

You think that when you belittle him, you are showing how powerful you are and how much family status you have, but it is actually an illusion.

In the eyes of outsiders, they will not think you are so good, they will only feel that after watching a monkey show, they may look forward to the next one.

So, if you want to have face, you have to help your other half face more.

In this way, the effect of one plus one greater than two can be achieved.

In this regard, the ancients did a good job.

Especially the ancients who have read books and understand things.

"I understand, Your Highness means that Maid Lan is devoting all her attention to serving the saint's imperial book, that's why she slacked off on Jiuye Jinlan?"

The stewardess didn't pretend to be confused with Li Yuanji any more, and told Li Yuanji what Li Yuanji wanted.

Li Yuanji smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Exactly."

The stewardess nodded and said, "Then how should I reward the maidservant?"

Merit is merit, and demerits are demerits. Since Li Yuanji didn't mention that merits and demerits are offset, merits and demerits must be clearly distinguished.

This is not to say that the stewardess cannot be flexible, but the rules set by Yang Miaoyan are like this.

This is a very simple, but also very effective means of imperial control.

It can make the people below not be proud or slack when they have meritorious deeds, and it can also make the people below not take chances when they have done something, so that everyone below is cautious when doing everything.

"There is no need for rewards, let's balance the merits and demerits."

Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hands.

The stewardess bowed, "I obey."

Li Yuanji glanced at the orchid maid who was still trying to water Jiuyelan with his own blood, and rescued Jiuyelan by going astray, and sighed: "Go and see her, don't let her die."

The stewardess agreed, walked up to Maid Lan, knelt down, and said in a heavy tone, "You can rest assured, Your Highness has forgiven you."

After hearing this, the maidservant regained her sanity, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, she looked around for Li Yuanji with tears in her eyes.

After seeing Li Yuanji, he held back his crying and kowtowed to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji shook his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Go back and take care of it."

Just left.

The maidservant kowtowed as if she hadn't heard the words.

It wasn't until he was dragged by the female steward that he stopped kowtowing, and then kept thanking Li Yuanji for his great kindness.

Li Yuanji didn't think that this was a great kindness to him at all. In his opinion, his people beat the orchid maid to pieces because of a bunch of orchids. It's just to set things right, how can there be kindness?
But the maidservant likes to take this as kindness, so let her go.

Anyway, he had no intention of correcting it.

Because the vast majority of people in this era will think so after encountering such a thing, and he cannot correct it alone.

If you have to correct it, it is easy to be regarded as an outlier.

This is a very sad thing.

Obviously you have a correct view of right and wrong in your heart, but you can't instill it in others, and you can't find anyone who has the same view of right and wrong as you.

You are like a tourist wandering blindly in a foreign country, where you can see people who are different from you.

You think they are different, but when you calm down, you will find that you are the different.

And it's still a different kind that has no home, and can't find a similar one.

"Your Highness, the Li family of Zhaozhou has a different kind."

Li Yuanji had just settled down in the half-mountain manor that Li Yuan forcibly named Jiu Dao Palace, before he had time to appreciate the red apricots that had just come in from outside the wall, and before he had time to fold the peach blossoms that had just bloomed inside the wall, Xue Wanshu arrived.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a sentence that made Li Yuanjilei's skin tender on the outside.

"The Li family in Zhaozhou has a different species?"

Li Yuanji asked Xue Wanshu to sit on the thick blanket under the peach tree, and after ordering Xue Wanshu to pour him a glass of peach blossom wine brewed last year, he said with a puzzled face, "What kind of alien is worth reporting to me?"

After Xue Wanshu poured the wine, he took a sip happily and said with a smile: "A direct descendant of the Li family in Zhaozhou wants to join His Highness no matter what. Does Your Highness say this is a different kind?"

Li Yuanji nodded, pushed the wine cup in front of him to Xue Wanshu, and motioned Xue Wanshu to drink it together.

He originally thought that the peach blossom wine mentioned in the book was a good drink, but he didn't expect it to be sour, and it was the kind of sour that people who can be sour would make fun of.

He instantly lost the desire to continue drinking peach blossom wine. Seeing that Xue Wanshu liked it, he let Xue Wanshu drink it as well.

After Xue Wan told Xie, he raised his wine cup and began to enjoy the taste of intoxication, Li Yuanji said slowly: "A direct descendant of a great family, who would surrender to the enemy at the time of the clan's life and death, is indeed an anomaly."

In this era when the concept of clan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the interests of the clan are higher than the interests of the royal family, the direct descendants of a large family look at the royal family in the same way as they look at another large family.

It is only possible to expect them to look at the royal family with a knife on their necks.

So the direct descendants of the aristocratic family are proud.

Some clans with deep backgrounds even look down on the royal family in private.

It is proof that Li Yuan did not marry a woman with the five surnames in his previous life despite his repeated efforts.

It is precisely because of this that a person who did not live and die with the clan, did not defend the enemy with the clan when the clan was alive and dead, but instead voted against an enemy they despise or treat as an equal, is indeed a different kind.

This kind of heterogeneity, whether Li Yuanji or the Li family, all hope that there will be more of him.

"With such a different kind of help, His Highness will definitely be able to bite off a piece of flesh from Li Shi of Zhaozhou."

After Xue Wanshu tasted the peach blossom wine, he poured himself another cup, and then talked excitedly.

He didn't say anything about killing the Li family of Zhaozhou.

Because in his opinion, even Li Yuanji couldn't destroy such a behemoth as the Li family of Zhaozhou. Even if Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin were added, it would be enough.

It is precisely because of this that he only said to bite off a piece of meat.

Li Yuanji's idea was naturally to take advantage of the time when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting, no one paid attention to him, and wiped out the Li family of Zhaozhou in one go.

He's not the kind of person who likes to keep his enemies around for the New Year.

Nor is he the kind of person who likes to give his enemies a chance to breathe.

Now that you have made a move, you must go all out to crush the enemy to death.

Therefore, he did not agree with Xue Wanshu's statement, but he was not in a hurry to refute, but murmured: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, and don't be in a hurry to use him, first try to see if he is cheating.

We can't do things that lead wolves into the house.

Especially wolves from aristocratic families like the Li family in Zhaozhou cannot be brought indoors.

Otherwise, it is very likely that all our plans for the Li family in Zhaozhou will fail, and it will make us all sleepless and restless. "
