Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 168 Jingjing got the first floor of the first courtyard (2)
There are about 2000 secret workers in the Northland. Every year, some people are injured while inquiring about information, and some are severely disabled or even lose their lives.

The disabled Xizuo returned to Dingchao and could not find a business and could not live. The family members of the sacrificed Xizuo had to pay a pension, which was paid by Li Bing himself.

Li Bing spent enough money for the court to buy several such mansions.

Li Jingjing thought to herself: We live in the palace, so we feel at ease.

Li Laoshi and He Shi led the twins, followed Li Bing, his wife and He Jingyan into the reception hall of the outer courtyard, and invited He Jingyan and the Governor of Hunan Province to sit at the top on the left.

The governor of Hunan Province looked at Li Jingjing, a little girl who bears the title of second-rank county lord. This girl is valued by He Dong, and she will marry He Dong's nephew in the future, and she will be the future emperor or princess.

He didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, so he asked He Jingyan, Li Laoshi, his wife and the twins to sit on the upper left side, and he sat on the upper right side.

The governor of Tanzhou is an official with real power second only to the Governor of Hunan Province in Tanzhou Mansion, but his rank is lower here, not even Li Yunxiao, the son of the Hou Mansion.

Although the welcoming hall of the outer courtyard was large, it could not seat more than [-] people. The low-ranking officials consciously stood in the courtyard outside the hall.

Four physically disabled servants and servants quickly poured tea for everyone.

Li Bing smiled and nodded to the four of them, and said slowly to Qu: "They are all orphans. They grew up in a Taoist temple, learned some martial arts, and followed me to the Northland. They suffered a lot and were injured. I put them Bring it here and live with us."

At the beginning of the Hou Mansion, there was a shortage of manpower, so Li Bing was more at ease with these old subordinates than anyone else, because he was afraid that his family members would be afraid of looking at the disabled servants, and even more worried that their family members would look down on them, so he specially ordered them yesterday.

Qu's eyes were pitiful, and said: "Okay. Live a good life from now on."

Seeing Qu's gentle and kind face, the four of them were very happy as Li Li said.

Li Jingjing has never discriminated against the disabled, let alone they were injured for their contributions to the country.

When Li Yunxiao was in Qujia Village, he saw many patients who came to Li Jingjing for medicine, and they were all bloody. Compared with them, the appearance of the servants of the Hou Mansion was much more eye-catching.He is not afraid either.

"I accept everyone's wishes. The mansion is busy with relocation, so I won't leave you to eat in the mansion. I have prepared thin wine in the Wangjiang Building on the east side. My eldest grandson Yunqing is waiting for you there." Li Bingtong He Jingyan and Li Laoshi After chatting with all the officials for a quarter of an hour, he issued an order to expel the guests.

"Mister actually asked Shiziye Restaurant to host a banquet for the lower officials. It is better to be respectful than to obey orders. Let's go to eat now and come to visit later." The governor of Hunan Province bowed and left the Hou's mansion with all the officials.

The officials felt that the four servants serving tea in the Hou's Mansion had either lost their hands or lost their ears. No matter how they looked at them, they were in a panic. Letting such people serve the meal would really leave a shadow.

Li Bing arranged for all the officials to have dinner in a restaurant outside, and let the elder son Li Yunqing sit with him, all the officials were very happy.

More than 200 officials from Hunan Road left, and the outer courtyard immediately became quiet.

Without outsiders, Li Yunxiao immediately called out: "Grandma, I'm so hungry."

Qu quickly looked at Li Bing and said urgently, "Don't let the child starve."

Li Bingyuan wanted to let his family see the servants and maidservants first, so he had to eat first.

Two servants led the way and led the Li family to the small dining room in the middle courtyard behind the outer courtyard, where two tables of steaming wine and food had already been set.

Seeing that the food is not as luxurious as the Duke of Qin's in Tanzhou, Qu's food is much better than what he cooked in Qujia Village, and it is much richer than what he ate in the restaurant in Liuyang County. Swept away.

Li Bing looked at Mrs. Qu with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Ma'am, the four cooks in our house are the best in the Northland. Can you try their cooking?"

He Shi asked a middle-aged servant in a low voice: "Today, a hundred Huben soldiers are here, can you prepare their meals?"

The middle-aged servant said slowly and respectfully: "Reporting to Da Furen, the kitchen has been prepared for the soldiers. In the dining room of the outer courtyard, their meals are all prepared by Butler Li Li yesterday. They should be seated at this moment." It's time for dinner."

Listening to the middle-aged servant girl speaking the Northland dialect, He uttered the words clearly, and spoke very clearly. It looked like she had stayed in a wealthy family.

If all the servants in the entire mansion are like middle-aged servants, then even the disabled will be useful, and it will save the Li family's worries.

This is the first meal at the new home, and the Li family is not all present.

The Li family sat at the same table with He Jingyan, and Wanglian, Wangyue, Lu Daoming, Hong Laosan, and Chen Laoqi sat at the same table.

Everyone was probably hungry, and their appetites were better than usual. After eating a few plates upside down, they realized that the chef's cooking skills were excellent. Every dish was authentic, the gravy was rich but not greasy, and the fish and shrimp were delicious.

The Li family has no rules of not talking.Although He Jingyan's home is a royal residence, he doesn't pay much attention to it.

Qu praised: "The chefs in the Northland cook fish and shrimp really well."

Li Bing said with a smile: "The noble concubine of Emperor Kaichaogou is from Yangzhou, and she eats fish every day. It's good to have a cook she can admire."

Qu Shi was shocked and said: "The cook in our family cooked for the noble concubine Kaichao?"

Li Bing said slowly: "It's just a few meals. Don't think too much about it."

Li Jingjing beckoned to her servant, and said: "Northern real estate white noodles, buckwheat noodles, buckwheat noodles steamed into nests and dipped in gravy and fish soup are delicious. My grandpa, my mother, and Uncle He must love it. Ask the cook to make some for dinner at night." Bar."

"Yes." The maidservant nodded and smiled, "The four cooks are all good at making buckwheat noodles. There are buckwheat noodles in the kitchen. Miss really ordered it well."

The Li family has the habit of taking a lunch break.Li Bing asked his servants to lead his family to rest in the yard that had been arranged earlier.

Going back from the middle courtyard of the Hou Mansion is a crossroad, leading to various courtyards, attics, and gardens.

The twelve servants and servants who had been waiting here for a quarter of an hour reported their names one by one, and then walked towards the master whom Li Li had already decided to follow.

Qu's, He's, and Li Jingjing each received two middle-aged servants.

Li Qubing got four middle-aged servants, and Li Yunxiao got two middle-aged servants and two young servants.

Li Jingjing muttered: "Grandpa Li Li, he actually favors sons over daughters. Let grandma, my mother and me be separated from two people."

Li Yunxiao immediately came over and said, "Sister, I will share one with you, and we will have three."

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "I don't want a male attendant."

Her two servants, Li Huan and Li Xi, are both in their thirties, not as good-looking as Wanglian and Mochiyue, and older than Qu's.

Li Huan was born big and thick, and looked like a man from the back, with yellowish skin, broom eyebrows, long eyes, thick lips, and missing a thumb and ring finger on his right hand.

Li Xi is not tall, with a slightly fat body, a persimmon face, goldfish bubble eyes, a flat nose, and a slightly slanted mouth. The only good-looking willow leaf eyebrows are loomingly hidden by the sea in front of the forehead. The defect is that half of the right ear is missing. .
