Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Ancient Single Dormitory

Xue Lang got up early in the morning and came back from a walk with the four dogs. There was a carriage parked at the door of the clinic, and Licorice and the handlebars were talking at the door.Seeing Xue Lang come back, he smiled all over his face: "Lang Jun, this is the general sent to pick you up."

Last night, Xue Lang had already informed Licorice that he was going to be an official in the Princess Mansion. Little Licorice and Xue Lang got along very well, and he was very happy to see each other from time to time. Seeing his bright smile, it was obvious that the good mood was still there continue.

Xue Lang hurried over and apologized politely to the handle: "Excuse me for a long time, I'll go and move the things out."

"Master Xue is very polite. If there is anything that needs to be moved, just ask the little one."

The handlebar salute.

"I packed everything, just a few bags, thank you."

Xue Lang didn't refuse. It wasn't that he started to take Joe right away, but everyone had their own work to do. The handlebar was sent by Princess Pingyang to help him move things. If he declined politely, he would take the handlebar After doing what the style did, the handlebar style should be at a loss.

This is an ancient feudal society with strict hierarchies. The servants have what the servants should do, and the master has the master's affairs. Only when they have their own duties, is the way to live in harmony.If he robbed the servant's job and messed up the rules, he should mess up.

There are no rules.Xue Lang came out to make a living in society at a young age, and although he is not fluent in all aspects of the world, he is very familiar with it.

The manager and the managed should keep a proper distance, which is good for each other.Human nature, no matter ancient or modern, is interlinked in many things.

Put all the bags on the carriage, and say goodbye to Licorice: "Licorice, then I'll go first! When I settle down and you're not busy, just go over to my place and have a sit."

"Okay, Langjun."

After making an appointment with Licorice, Xue Lang rode on the bicycle that was not easy to fit in the carriage, and followed the carriage slowly. Along the way, he received several curious looks. Fortunately, there were few people in the morning, otherwise the bicycle would probably arouse the onlookers .

When they arrived at the princess mansion, a white-faced, beardless, handsome and upright young man was waiting at the door. When he saw Xue Lang arriving, he immediately greeted him: "May I ask if this is Mr. Xue? Your servant is like Gui, the princess's servant, and he was ordered to wait for Xue Lang here." Boss."

Xue Lang clasped his fists and saluted: "It's Xue Lang, please wait for a long time."

The servant of the princess mansion...

In ancient times, the job responsibilities and scope of servants and maids were strictly defined. Male servants were only responsible for the part where the master went out, and the inner courtyard was not allowed to enter.The maids are in charge of the inner courtyard, and the male servants leave the inner courtyard door.

Rugui, a man, is actually a servant, that is, he walks in the inner courtyard.Those who can walk in the inner courtyard of the princess are obviously eunuchs like Rugui.With the level and status of Princess Pingyang, eunuchs can be used.

Met a live eunuch!
It's completely different from the eunuchs in many film and television dramas with their orchid fingers raised and smeared with makeup.Rugui is handsome and well behaved. If he hadn't declared his identity and went out in casual clothes, he might not be able to tell that he is a eunuch.

Speaking of which, from what I saw yesterday, the maids and servants around Princess Pingyang all looked very upright. Could it be that Princess Pingyang is also a face-controller like her mother?

Princess Pingyang's mother is Empress Taimu Dou, the wife of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who is a very serious face control.How serious is it?

Her old man gave birth to four sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji, and one daughter, Princess Pingyang.When Li Yuanji was born, she was so ugly that Empress Dou didn't like it to the point of loathing her, so she ordered someone to carry her out and throw it away.

There was still a maid who couldn't bear it, secretly brought Li Yuanji back, raised her secretly, and when Li Yuan came home, she reported to Li Yuan that Li Yuanji hadn't died young.

Does Princess Pingyang also like good-looking and beautiful people?I just wonder if Princess Pingyang's level of face control has caught up with her mother, I'm curious.

"Master Xue?"

Rugui called Xue Lang, and pulled back his thinking that had been tilted to the Mariana Trench.Xue Lang followed Rugui in, to the small courtyard assigned to Xue Lang.

It is a small courtyard with two entrances, and there is a plaque on the gate of the courtyard, with the word Tingfeng written on it.Inside, the furniture is complete, the servants are ready, there is even a special kennel, and there is a small door in the north corner for entry and exit. Once the courtyard door is closed, it can become a family of its own, and you can enter and exit freely.Xue Lang can move in with his bags.

"Master Xue."

Rugui called Xue Lang: "Currently, there are four people in the Tingfeng Academy for orders, you all come here."

There are four servants, two men and two women, how to use them is up to Xue Lang.Rugui said: "Do you think the meals are delivered by Master Xue here independently or from the big kitchen in Fuchu?"

"It's better for me to start my own business here."

"In this way, the servant will send a cook to Master Xue. From now on, if there is not enough manpower or supplies, please be polite to Master Xue, just send someone to find the servant."

"Okay, please."

"Your Majesty is polite."

Rugui left after explaining, leaving Xue Lang staring at the four servants——

The four servants happened to be two men and two women, they were not very old, they looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, they stood upright, well-behaved, their eyes didn't look around, they just stood respectfully, waiting for orders.

Obviously well-trained, but this is the use of child labor.

Xue Lang's thoughts diverged again, so he quickly pulled him back.He did not popularize the idea of ​​equality for everyone in ancient times. To promote equality for everyone in ancient times was tantamount to opposing the entire ruling class.

Xue Lang asked, "What's your name?"

Among the four servants, a round-faced little girl replied, "Please give me your name, sir."

As a hard worker for naming, Xue Lang felt a little bit pained when he heard that he wanted to choose a name: "Didn't you have a name before?"

"Back to the Lord, yes. It's just that according to the rules, the servants are now assigned to the Lord, and the Lord can rename the servants."

Xue Lang waved his hand: "Let's call him by his original name. Take turns. Everyone introduce themselves, their name, age, what they are good at, and whether they say no or not. Come on, let's start."

The round-faced little girl stood up first: "My maidservant's name is Mo Zhu. She is 14 years old. She is good at sweeping, tidying up, sewing and sewing. She has also learned how to make tea. She can also read characters and read account books."

Another little girl came out, "Slave Lamei, 13 years old, has been working in the embroidery workshop of the mansion, and can recognize simple characters."

Xue Lang nodded, and looked at the two servants.One has a handsome appearance and a thin body, the other has thick feet and thick hands, and a simple and honest face.

The pretty one introduced herself: "The young one is Changjian, 15 years old, can read characters, can do sweeping, and can also serve flowers and plants."

"The young one is called Wanfu. He is illiterate and has only a handful of strength. He can do all kinds of rough work. He has learned how to raise horses and drive carts."

Xue Lang understands!

Simply assign: "Mozhu and Lamei work together in the inner courtyard, Mozhu takes care of the warehouse and current accounts, sewing, sewing, cleaning and other work, Lamei takes care of it, and Mozhu helps her when she is free. The population in the courtyard is simple and there is not much work.”

"Here!"

The two little girls agreed in unison.Xue Lang looked at the two male servants:
"Changjian and Wanfu are in charge of the outer courtyard. If I go out, Changjian will be a book boy and a personal servant for me. Wanfu is responsible for preparing the carriages and horses. Just like the inner courtyard, the two of you will do other work in the outer courtyard together. .I take care of the study by myself, is there anything I don't understand?"

All four servants shook their heads.

Xue Lang expressed his satisfaction, so let's arrange this for now, let's see the quality and ability of these four people first.
