Chapter 846 Settling Down First

These four maids not only look good, they walk and speak in a well-educated manner.

Shangguan Ruoli guessed that these four people were either young ladies from rich families, or skinny horses.

But when he just came here, Shangguan Ruoli hadn't had time to make a move yet, so he settled down first before talking.

Half of Qin Sejuli's servants came, including Shangguan Ruoli's personal maids Sassoon, Zhuyue, and four second-class maids.The two personal maids of the two big Lingyao, and the four second-class maids.In addition, there are six rough envoys, maids and mother-in-law, kitchen stewards and cooks.

In addition, Dongming Ziyu's personal eunuchs Mo Wen and Mo Xiang were also allowed to serve in the backyard, as well as a few servants under the age of ten who were served by the second sect.

The place here is small, and these servants are enough.

After working for half a day to settle down, Sassoon came in to report: "Princess, the housekeeper asks to see you."

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let him in."

Put Ling Yao on the soft couch and let her play by herself. After several days, although Ling Yao is still very attached to Shangguan Ruoli, she is not as inseparable as she was just a few days ago.

The housekeeper was brought in by Sassoon, he was a refined and elegant man in his thirties.

He was tall and slender, wearing a dark blue muslin robe, looking dignified and dignified.

He raised his robe neither humble nor overbearing and knelt down to salute Shangguan Ruoli, "I pay my respects to the princess!"

This housekeeper was not a house slave, but was originally an aide of Dongming Ziyu, named Zuo Chunteng.Because the steward of Prince Xuan's Mansion stayed in the capital, Dongming Ziyu chose him to be the steward of Prince Xuan's mansion.

So he calls himself a subordinate, not a slave.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at him carefully, and said indifferently: "Left butler, excuse me."

Zuo Chunteng got up, stood with downcast eyes, and said respectfully: "Is there anything wrong with the princess? Are the servants in the backyard enough? Do you need to buy a few more maids from the local area?"

The masters are here, in the mansion, especially the backyard, the arrangements for the servants are up to the masters.The housekeeper is a smart person, so naturally he would not make decisions on his own.

Don't look at the seemingly inconspicuous position of the butler, who has no official position.But the big and small matters in the mansion, human relations, and part of the property outside are all taken care of by the housekeeper.

Therefore, the power in the hands of the steward and the abilities required are not small, and the steward's ability to observe words and emotions is even stronger.

Of course, Shangguan Ruoli wouldn't use people who don't know the details, and said lightly: "The people I brought from the capital are enough, besides, I don't think the few maids you found from the local area are like working. The look of serving people."

Butler Zuo's expression changed slightly, showing fear, and hurriedly said: "Those maids are the ladies of several local officials. They asked a few people to come over to help temporarily, saying that the prince and concubine are here. If there are enough people You can send it back. I’m new here, so it’s hard to refute their good intentions. Besides, the mansion really needs people to work, so I have to wait for the prince and concubine to come to make a decision.”

The amount of information in this, huh, huh!

Shangguan Ruoli slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "This concubine only wants servants with a death contract."

Butler Zuo hurriedly said, "I understand."

Shangguan Ruoli gave him a cold look, "You are the steward of Prince Xuan's mansion, so you should be able to deal with those who have ulterior motives."

In other words, he is incapable.

However, Dongming Ziyu's selection of people should not be far behind.But it would be unreasonable to make things difficult for her.

The left housekeeper was covered in cold sweat, he knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Princess atones for her sins, I'm terrified."

He is not a dead contract, not even a living contract. Does this mean that the princess doesn't trust him?
Everyone knows that the concubine is the prince's favorite person, and the consequences of offending the concubine are much more serious than offending the prince.

At this time, Dongming Ziyu came in with a bird cage, and there was a colorful parrot inside.

Ling Yao saw this parrot at a glance, her eyes lit up suddenly, she quickly got off the bed, ran over cheerfully, and shouted: "Parrot! It's the same as Brother An Ning's parrot!"

Dongming Ziyu smiled and handed the parrot cage to Ling Yao, "Go and play, this parrot will be yours from now on."

The colorful parrot immediately combed its feathers and said, "Greetings, greetings!"

"Thank you, father!" Ling Yao happily took the parrot, "I want to teach her to recite poetry!"

While talking, he went to play with the parrot.

Only then did Dongming Ziyu suppress his smile, glanced at the left steward who was kneeling on the ground, then sat next to Shangguan Ruoli, held her hand, and said dotingly: "Don't blame him, if this king doesn't Taking advantage of this opportunity to express their attitude, those people thought that it would be easy for the king to come here for the first time."

Shangguan Ruoli curled his lips, "You haven't dealt with the officials of these two counties? Or do they treat you as their own? You sent your daughter here before your arrival?"

Dongming Ziyu looked at Butler Zuo, beckoning him to explain.

Butler Zuo coughed lightly, and explained embarrassingly: "There are two situations. Not all the officials in the fief belong to the prince. Those officials who think that the prince is his own also think that the prince should accept his own daughter so that he can be with him in the future." The fief will stand firm sooner."

In the fiefdom, King Xuan is the Emperor of Earth, similar to the Emperor of Dongming.

Shangguan Ruoli gave Dongming Ziyu a blank look, and said indifferently: "Look at the meaning of the lord, do you want to take them in?"

Dongming Ziyu felt that the back of his head was chilly, but he didn't dare to make his wife angry, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, I want to use these four people as a raft."

As he said that, he looked at Butler Zuo, and ordered in a cold voice: "Send them back, and say that the servants serving in the king's backyard are dead contracts. If they are willing to sell their daughters, these girls will be given away." The soldiers and soldiers who marry wives are the housekeepers, and the soldiers who followed the king to this barren land should also have a woman to serve them."

Butler Zuo hurriedly said yes, and withdrew.

Shangguan Ruoli glanced at Dongming Ziyu coldly, "If I hadn't noticed those four beauties, would you have just accepted them?"

Seeing her eating, Dongming Ziyu was happy, but he still said without changing his face: "How many noble girls in this capital can't look down on, how can you still look down on the firewood girl in this barren land?"

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, if someone likes you, you will accept it?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded seriously, but wisely said before Shangguan Ruoli lost his temper: "But this king only has eyes for Li'er, and with Li'er here to compare, this king will never look at other women!"

"Hmph! Glib!" Shangguan Ruoli gave him a vicious look, but the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't be concealed.

At this time, Mo Wen reported outside: "My lord, my concubine, the sheriffs of Yue and Fan counties and the biggest squire here are here to ask for an audience."

Shangguan Ruoli looked at Dongming Ziyu, "Where are these people from?"
