The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 30 Eating Breakfast

When Butler Li woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day. He rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed, and found himself lying in a guest room with seven or eight beds inside. Apart from himself, those who followed him The other servants of Taichang Mansion also slept here together, but their own clothes were not changed, and there was still a lot of alcohol smell on their bodies. A ray of sunlight came in, and Steward Li gently pushed open the door.

The manor has already started a day of operation, and all kinds of people are full of smiles. They are busy and perform their duties.

Butler Li stopped a cook who was going to and from the kitchen: "Brother, where is your eldest lady?"

"Ah, hello, Housekeeper Li, the eldest lady said that if you woke up and had breakfast, you can go to the study to find her."

"Thank you."

"Butler Li and everyone haven't eaten yet. I'll ask someone to prepare morning tea."

"Ah, no need!" Li Butler quickly waved his hands, "No trouble, no trouble."

After greeting this person, Steward Li tidied up his disheveled clothes, then turned around and woke up the servants who were still sleeping on the bed.

After finishing these, he walked cautiously to the door of the study, hesitated for a while, and knocked on the door anyway.

This kind of feeling is very subtle. What Steward Li is facing is just a "daughter of a criminal minister" who has been exiled and demoted, and the place is barren, and the distribution of personnel is like bandits and robbers.

But the thought of meeting and talking with Sikong Qingwan always makes him feel a little... shivering.

It's strange, this girl doesn't look as old as her own children, and she has a gentle personality and a beautiful face, how could it give him the illusion that she dare not look directly at her when she sees her.

Soon the door was opened, but Butler Li looked up but gave a slight pause.

The one who opened the door was a girl who looked like a maid, she looked about the same age as Sikong Qingwan, she smiled generously at Butler Li, but Butler Li didn't dare to step inside.

In this study, besides Sikong Qingwan who was sitting in the center of the desk, there were actually three people sitting around the desk. They seemed to be discussing something while having breakfast together.

"I don't know that Missy has some important matters to discuss. If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

But Ran Tong waved with a smile on his face.

"Butler Li, don't be cautious. Have you eaten breakfast yet?" Ran Tong pointed to the dishes on the table: "If you haven't eaten, eat some? It's just light meals. I wonder if Butler Li is used to eating."

Butler Li quickly shook his head, expressing that Ran Tong is welcome.

Ran Tong was no longer polite, and she told Qingqing who opened the door: "Sister Qingqing, it's getting late, please hurry up and take Steward Li to the warehouse to deliver the things that need to be brought back to the Dynasty to Steward Li, and wait for you to come back." Let's eat again, oh yes, be careful, don't break the mirror."

Qingqing bowed: "Yes, miss."

Butler Li hurriedly followed Qingqing out as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

So far, only the heads of the three villages and Ran Tong are left sitting around the table in this study.

"Three big brothers, according to your opinion, is there anyone who can go to the capital with Steward Li this time?" Ran Tong put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Now that she and Shangguan Yuce have started to set up the logistics route, and the first wave of goods has been handed over smoothly, they need to continue to consolidate. The manor is in the development stage, and the goods and materials needed are not just one or two transactions. can be postponed.

Moreover, the quantity and types of goods required for exchange in Kyoto this time are even greater than those of the last time, so there must be no ambiguity.

"Miss, such important matters are not trivial, if not, let me go, after all, I have experience."

Chen Gang said in a low voice.

But Ran Tong shook his head: "No, since the logistics line has been consolidated, you, the masters of the family, can't continue to watch, and it takes too long to go back and forth between the two places. The manor is in the development stage, and the three of you can't walk around at will."

Chen Gang remained silent, Zhao Qichuan, the leader of the machete gang, quietly put down the chopsticks and the half-bitten steamed bun in his hand, he glanced at Zhang Peng first, and seeing that the latter did not speak, his voice came out in a piercing voice.

"Old Ge..."

Seeing Ran Tong rolling his eyes at him, Zhao Qichuan immediately changed his words: "Bah bah bah, miss, calm down, catchphrase, it won't be easy to change for a while."

But seeing that Ran Tong didn't blame him, he continued: "There are a few candidates in my village who should be qualified. Don't worry about them going to the capital and not coming back. They are first-class filial sons, their parents are here, don't worry about them doing things that are not good for the manor."

"Oh?"

Ran Tong pondered for a while, and then nodded. She really thought that if she sent some brothers to follow the carriage back to Beijing at will, what would happen if these brothers could not withstand the temptation? Compared with the Mahayana Dynasty, the manor here can be said to be It is not an exaggeration to be in a remote country. Although it may be difficult for them to integrate into the dynasty as bandits, they are not afraid of [-], just in case.

Although they were all brothers, they were all born bandits after all, and even the three heads of the family did not dare to guarantee their loyalty.

But what Zhao Qichuan said also began to dispel Ran Tong's worries. In fact, every brother here does not only live for himself. Like feet with locks and hands with chains.

Unknowingly, the manor has become the foundation of the brothers.

"Then Brother Lao will arrange it." Ran Tong said and handed him the list in his hand.

Zhao Qichuan wiped his greasy hands and took the list, opened his mouth to express his opinion on the title "Third Brother", but he swallowed it when he got to the point of his mouth, since Sikong Qingwan called "Third Brother", It means that during the seven or eight days of getting along with her, she has regarded herself as her own person completely. Thinking of this, Zhao Qichuan smiled and agreed, and then opened the door and went out.

At this point, only Chen Gang and Zhang Peng were left in the study.

Ran Tong looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled.

"Brother is so restrained, it's all right, brother, you stay in the manor every day, why are you so coy." Ran Tong picked up the bowls and chopsticks: "You guys, you really have to learn from brother three, look at him Don’t treat yourself like an outsider.”

The two men in front of them were a little restless at this moment. After Ran Tong finished speaking, they both glanced at each other, and then they both stood up with a bang.

"Miss, let's not eat at the same table, orderly!"

Ran Tong covered his face and raised his forehead, please don't be so alienated, you are better off, just treat yourself as an outsider.

However, one of the two people has a low IQ and admits to death, and the other has a too high IQ and has his own thinking orientation, but they are both a little oily and salty.

Just when Ran Tong was about to clarify these matters with the two elder brothers, Ah Qiang, who was supposed to be guarding the gate on the observation deck, ran over.

"Miss, it's not good for the eldest master and the second master!"

"Why are you so flustered?!" Zhang Peng scolded in a cold voice.

"Then... the butcher from the Inner Sea to the west, brought a group of brothers over, less than 500 meters away from the manor!"

"what?!"

The two masters immediately unsheathed their steel knives.

But Ran Tong's eyes lit up.
