Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 152
Grandma Qiao stood at the head of the crowd, at the entrance of the conference hall, Li Tian also returned the gift modestly, and brought Yingluo and others into the conference hall, Grandma Qiao hesitated for a moment, but she didn't dare to follow in directly. The princess of Jin'an County is as famous as her virtuousness and gentleness for her early ability to be the director of the family.

Li Tian sat down on the big kang facing south, back and north of the meeting hall, and the second-class girl Lan Mo knelt and sat in front of the corner of the kang, briskly and silently grinding ink and laying paper, while Lu Lian stood in front of the kang holding a roster book, Yingluo brought Taozhi and a few second-class maids to stand in the corner of the kang with their hands down. Li Tian looked around and saw that everything was in order, so she raised her chin at Yingluo.

The meeting hall was originally a pattern of three rooms, one bright, two dark, but now there is no partition in the middle, and the large area in front of Li Tian Kang looks very empty and spacious.

Yingluo walked out of the gate of the conference hall, stood with her hands down, and glanced at Qiao Mama and the dozens of women in charge standing in front, neither staying too long nor missing any of them. She stopped, and after scanning it once, she said in a deep voice: "Wangfei ordered, please come in, all the nurses in charge." Mother Qiao was stunned, what do you mean, come in?All these fifty or so people go in?Nanny Kong and the three were also stunned. Didn't they call the four chief managers in first?

The second-class and third-class stewardesses standing in the courtyard under the corridor all let them in when they heard the news. Some looked at Mother Qiao and the others, some looked around hesitantly and prepared to follow suit, and of course some were overjoyed. He rushed to the meeting hall with his feet, lest he would fall behind.Someone led, and someone followed. In a short time, more than 50 women in charge entered the meeting hall. According to Yingluo's command, the second class stood on the east side and the third class stood on the west side. Already late at the back, walk through the second and third class and walk to the front.

Li Tian sat on the kang, looked at the crowd with a smile, and saw that they had stood up, and then said slowly: "You have worked hard these few days." All the women were ups and downs and did not dare to say anything, Li Tian smiled with a good temper, After everyone finished being polite and flattering, they continued in a slow voice: "I will speak in the future, don't interrupt at will." All the women subconsciously wanted to answer 'yes', but they felt that it was wrong before the words came out, and those who moved quickly had already 'yes' 'Half of it, the other half hastily swallowed, hands down.

"Well, that's it." Li Tian waited for a moment, then praised with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "A lot of things have happened in the past two days, and 27 things have happened in the front yard." Waiting for porcelain, I lost 43 pieces, including 23 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain, [-] pieces of Jun kiln, and five pieces were gifts from the emperor. My dowry smashed a glazed dish and lost a pair of agate plates; there were seven fights, There are countless quarrels in public, and there are countless nights of gambling, drinking, and even absences."

Li Tian stopped talking, reached out to take the cup from Yingluo, and sipped the tea with lowered eyelids. Mother Qiao's face turned blue and red, and Mother Kong kept glancing at Mother Qiao nervously. Standing motionless with her hands down, there was a taller person in front of her when she got off the couch, Mammy Lu leaned towards Mammy Qiao, gloating in her eyes.

"Princess, this matter..." Mother Qiao couldn't help but want to explain a few words, Yingluo hurriedly glanced at Li Tian timidly, and reminded in a low voice: "Mom, the princess didn't ask you anything." He blushed at Yingluo's words, and stared at Yingluo with unconcealable anger in his eyes. Today, he deliberately humiliated her!
"I don't blame you." After a while, Li Tian continued softly: "The new mansion of the Prince's Mansion in Jin'an County is just in time for such a big event as the prince's wedding. It is not easy to be able to cope with it like this. To put it bluntly Just kidding, there are more than 500 people in the mansion, even if you recognize someone, you have to recognize them for ten days and half a month. If you don't recognize them all, you have to deal with the prince's wedding. Fortunately, everyone is an old man. , I still don’t know what the chaos will be like.” Li Tian’s words made all the women in the hall breathe a sigh of relief, everyone’s luck is that the princess is so sensible.Only Mother Qiao's face was blue and ugly, after making up her mind, she must hold her breath until she finished speaking.

"I have seen everyone's hard work in the past few days. Although I just got married, I used to help my grandmother manage the house at my mother's house. I know the difficulties here. There are five hundred people in our house. People, it's a lot to say, but it's not enough when you really use it, but our lords, you should know better than me, the lords are the most picky, but you don't just need the word "good" in everything, but you need to be refined If you want to be more precise, you need the top ones, and in this way, even if there are more than 500 people, it will not be enough." As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, almost all the women in the room were overjoyed. I, I look at you, exchanging glances excitedly.

Standing in the meeting hall are all the women in charge, not to mention the smart ones, they are all smarter than ordinary people. Naturally, compared with the other three prince's mansions, the 500-odd servants in the Jin'an County Prince's Mansion are simply too huge , If you think a little more, you have to worry about such things as layoffs.Sure enough, he is a rich man, with so many dowries, he is really confident.

"Although manpower is tight, everyone knows that it might not be appropriate to add more manpower to the mansion now." Li Tian smiled modestly and tactfully, and all the women dared not speak out, and all nodded their heads to express their extreme approval. Li Tian's words, with so many people, there is really no need to add more, Li Tian glanced at everyone with a smile: "But the prince only wants that top one, and we don't have enough manpower, isn't this embarrassing for everyone?" Li Tian frowned in distress. Spreading his eyebrows, he said: "Everyone is in trouble, isn't it because I am in trouble? I can't make things difficult for myself, so I decided to temporarily close Wangfu West Road after much deliberation."

Li Tian smiled and looked at the dazed women who were stunned by her sudden turn, slowly sipped half a cup of tea, and then continued: "There are only two people in the mansion, the prince and me, and we will use it for a while. Not going to the west road, I discussed it with the prince, if new concubines come in in the future, they will be settled along the east road first, so let’s do it like this.”

Mother Qiao looked at Li Tian more and more seriously, and her straight back became more and more submissive. No wonder the old lady confessed to herself so solemnly. This Princess Jin'an is really not simple. What she said made people He was in the sky for a while, fell down again for a while, slapped himself in the face, and rubbed the nuns in charge countless times.

"As the saying goes, you can't make a square without rules." Li Tian changed the subject: "There are no special rules in our house, but these are the rules that every house has. As for me, there is only one thing, I can't tolerate people cheating me, I can't tolerate this, as for doing something wrong, it's not a big deal, who can do nothing!" Li Tian rolled the cup in his hand with his eyes down. , didn't look at anyone, but many people in the conference hall were beating a small drum in their hearts.

"These things that have happened in the mansion for a while are all caused by three disadvantages. One is that there is no special management. Once something happens and things are lost, it is impossible to tell who should take care of it. The second is that the population is mixed and people come in and out at will , give the villain an opportunity to take advantage of, and the third is the unevenness of joy and sorrow. There are Qiaozong'er who grab it, but no one is willing to do the hard work. From today on, it is clear and sure where, when, and who is in charge of what in the mansion. It's assigned to each of you, whoever is in what place at what time, you can't make any mistakes, but if you make a mistake by a little bit, don't blame me for being rude." Li Tian's face turned cold, which scared all the women Shivering and daring not to move.

"Everyone's errand manpower, the time and location of the errand, I will check with Lulian in a while, Madam Qiao." Li Tian finally pointed to the four of Madam Qiao: "You and Madam Kong, Madam Song, and Madam Lu Still President, every place in the mansion needs to be inspected every day. I have drafted a copy of the inspection details, and I will let Yingluo explain it to you later. Okay, let’s do this for today, Yingluo, tell me about the rules of my day-to-day affairs. .”

"Yes." Yingluo agreed, took a half step forward, and said in a clear voice: "Every day at the beginning of the day, the princess comes to the meeting hall to listen to the matter. There are also timetables for the card to find green lotus branch silver. It is only from the second quarter of the noon to the second quarter of the noon every day. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next day. For everything, you must first have a regulation. If you pay money, you must first understand it The cost, such as the oil candles in the outer study, must be reported how many rooms there are in the outer study, whether the oil lamps are lit or candles, how many hours a catty of oil can support an oil lamp, how many hours can a candle burn, etc., everyone Do you understand?"

The women who heard Yingluo's words took a deep breath, no wonder that although this princess is virtuous and good-natured, she is capable.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's do it for today." Li Tian said slowly, Qiao Mama was in a hurry, what she met today was completely beyond her expectations, and she still has a bunch of very important things thing!
"Report to the princess, I have something to report." Mother Qiao gritted her teeth and stood up, and said respectfully, Li Tian smiled and motioned to her, and Mother Qiao motioned to the women in charge, Li Tian smiled and said: "Could it be What can't be said to people?"

"That's not true." Mother Qiao had no choice but to answer, and Li Tian said calmly, "Let's talk about it." Mother Qiao could only grit her teeth and said, "Back to the princess, Baoyan and the other maids came here specially to serve the prince and the prince." Wangfei’s daily life is still not settled outside, please tell me, Wangfei, when will they be allowed to work in the main courtyard?”

"Oh." Li Tian replied with a long voice: "That's right, call them in and let me have a look."

"Yes." Mother Qiao agreed, and turned around to signal to Mother Song. After a short while, Mother Song led seven or eight very beautiful girls in seventeen or eighteen years old.
