Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 374;
370 five; wives and concubines nineteen
In March of Yangchun, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. It is a good time for the earth to recover and all things to grow. Li Yu is still the nephew lighting the lanterns today~ as usual, getting up at the beginning of the morning, sitting in the hall and eating breakfast leisurely...

Ying Xiang served attentively and thoughtfully, Li Yu asked halfway through eating;
"Have you all eaten?"

Yingxiang held a clean cloth towel in her hand, wet her tongue again, carefully and thoughtfully wiped the millet porridge residue from the corner of Li Yu's mouth, and replied softly;

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, the slaves have already eaten, and they can leave only after Mr. Lang finishes eating. The outside has already come in twice to report that the carriage is ready.
There are eight servants, and the general's mansion still dispatches ten mansion soldiers to follow around. The gentleman can leave immediately after eating. "

Li Yu worked hard again and drank the remaining half bowl of corn porridge. Next to him, Tanchun took over the ceramic bowl and filled it with rice. Li Yu was a little dazed. Yingxiang looked at Li Yu's absent-minded look, and asked a little strangely. road;

"Lang Jun, what are you worried about? This is what the Supreme Master told me. No matter how big the officials in their household department are, they have to cooperate with you, Lang Jun, to do a good job in the sale of liquor.

Even if you have not become an official, Mr. Liang, the officials of the Cangbu Division dare not neglect you, let alone embarrass you easily, otherwise you will ruin the important matter of the Supreme Being, and how to take it is a serious crime..."

Li Yu took two sips of the millet porridge from Tanchun, and then said slowly;

"I'm not worried about some unscrupulous person who dares to come and make trouble, but I don't know how to deal with Lu Jishan, the heir of Lu's second wife,
A while ago, his eldest son bullied you and Rong Niang, and I beat you into a useless person. How can I say that a certain family was really aggressive at that time, but now they want to cooperate with him to deal with the sale of liquor. Bo, for a while, I didn't know how to face it..."

Yingxiang saw with her own eyes that the villain who bullied her was killed in the street by the elders of the punishment clan, and she no longer hated it. When Li Yu mentioned this, she also worried;

"Isn't that right? Imagine now, slave girl, that although slave girl was bullied back then, she didn't lose her hands and feet.

At the beginning, we beat those pampered and pampered children of the aristocratic family into cripples. It was indeed a bit harsh. Now, Mr. Lang wants to face that Mr. Lu in person. How can he be more comfortable? Anyone else would be a little embarrassed... ..."

Li Yu sucked a few mouthfuls of corn porridge in his arms, and then ate half of a meat pie, looking carefully at Yingxiang's face;

"What are you thinking? It is impossible for a certain family to regret it. If you dare to bully a certain family, no matter who he is, I will take revenge. It is absolutely impossible for someone to stand on my head and shit. ...

Not to mention interrupting their hands and feet, turning them into cripples, this is still light. It is not uncommon to piss off Lao Tzu and bring three thousand strong slaves from the Northwest to kill the enemies who bully my Li family. Thing, Tanchun, Xichun, you two talk about it, is this crazy talk? "

Before Tanchun could speak, Xichun excitedly took up the conversation;

"That's right, what is this, sister Yingxiang, how do you know that the Patriarch is not joking.

Sister still remembers that rich man in Lantian who bullied the widow in our village back then, old Alang didn't say a word at that time,
He directly led the family's child servants and a group of old soldiers to kill the rich family. Even the current Supreme Emperor said that the rich family deserved to die, and killing his whole family deserved it. "

Tanchun also came closer to join in the fun;

"Sister Yingxiang, your family came to my Li family not long ago, only about a dozen years, so it's understandable that you don't know how powerful my second wife is.

Our Li family's second wife, the third-generation patriarch has the best temper. He is a civil servant and governor, but even a civil servant is not inferior to others, and he has never softened his heart when dealing with his enemies.

It's not a bragging, my Li family from Longxi has more than 300 children, all of them are men who are not afraid of death, and they are tall and strong, with a strong physique.

Now it has been multiplied for five or six generations, and it is even more luxuriant. I am afraid of which of them will come. As long as they do not oppose the royal family and obey the court, the others are really not afraid of which one will come.

Even the other big families, if they want to make enemies with our Li family, they have to weigh carefully. The hands and feet of Mr. Lang who interrupted those people last year were both light.

According to old Alang's previous temper, he was killed on the spot, whoever is going to talk nonsense to you, back then, I, Aye, followed old Alang to the old Lantian county, forked to death the nursing home of a rich family, and cut off That guy's head,
This is a heroic thing that I, Aye, have shown off for half my life, and I will show it off every year, hee hee! "

After all, Yingxiang is not of the blood of the frontier fortress, and she doesn't have that kind of ruthlessness in her bones. Looking at the little sister who is usually close to her, and mentioning the murder, not only is she not afraid, but she takes it for granted. Khan, quickly take out the silk scarf to wipe...

Li Yu has seen too many injustices in his previous life, and he can only choose to find the government to solve the bullied, and he can only swallow his anger when he is bullied by the rich and others...

This life's identity reversal, not only has enough loyal servants, but all of them are brave and daring to fight. When Li Yu encountered this kind of world, he couldn't help arousing the warlike part of his heart...

After drinking the remaining corn porridge in one go, Li Yu let out a long breath;

"Tanchun is right. I, Li's Second Household, have a strong army and horses. I don't have to be afraid of anyone. But as long as we behave properly, we don't bully anyone. We don't lose our sense in doing things. It won't be strange if you think about it. Things come out.

If that blind person dares to bully me, the second wife of the Li family, hehe, the men and horses of my Zhuangzi are not made of mud, or the mud people still have three parts of the soil.

It's not that I regret breaking those people's hands and feet, it's just that through some things, a certain family can see clearly that the second wife of Lu's family is different from that bully.

Especially that old Situ, who is responsible, does not protect his weaknesses, has a clear sense of grievances and grievances, and the scale of justice is placed on the bright side, which is very admirable!

A certain family also specially inquired, and there was nothing wrong with Mr. Lu except for the taint of the bully son, and he was serious and careful in his work, and his character was also kind, and he mostly benefited the poor and the common people.

Alas, it's a pity, his reputation was ruined by that rebellious son, and a certain family was also the fuse for him to kill his own son, so he felt sympathy for him, pity that Mr. Lu..."

While Li Yu was talking, Situ Yunsha came out of the inner hall with the maid, and the words entered Li Yu's ears before he got there;

"It's the first time for the lord to go to the yamen of the Ministry of Households today, and it's also the first time to meet Mr. Nalu. According to the idea of ​​the slave family, it's best for the lord to make contact with a stranger as if nothing happened about Nalu Guan.

If Mr. Lu takes into account the old things that have passed, it will inevitably arouse Mr. Lu's sore spots. Everyone just talks about business, regardless of private affairs, what do you think of Mr. Lu's stupid opinion? "

Li Yu also nodded when he heard the words;
"My lady is right, she looks exactly like what I thought in my heart, forget it, put away my mood, and meet politely later.

If he cooperates with me sincerely, does not stumbling me, wears small shoes, and strongly supports my baijiu sales, I will grant him a hard work and give him more credit. It's okay to say a few nice words in front of you.

Besides, although we are not afraid of anything, in the end, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. As long as we can get over it, try to get over it as much as possible. It is better to make friends with people everywhere than to be enemies everywhere.

The lady just woke up, did you have breakfast? "

"Mr. Xie is concerned. My family has not eaten yet, and I am about to go back to my yard and ask the kitchen to bring food."

Li Yu pointed to the four side dishes on the table in front of him, and a pot of corn porridge politely stepped aside;
"Oh, I didn't eat it, why don't I sit down and eat some, anyway, I'm almost done."

Situ Yunsha gave a light blessing;
"Thank you for your concern, I don't dare. You are the head of the family, how honorable you are. How can you eat at the same table as a woman in my family? In the future, it will not be a joke for the old lady to come in. I don't know the rules. I act recklessly. Slaves."

Li Yu smiled politely;

"When I got up just now, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, and I couldn't bear to call you. I have nothing to do with you today. Why don't you sleep a little longer to nourish your body?"

Situ Yunsha's face blushed immediately, thinking about the prank that the little man made up and down just now, touching people like that, how could he still make people fall asleep;

"I want to report to my lord, the sun is already rising, how can we not get up, the elder sister of the Wang family disappeared at some time, I guess I have had breakfast, and my family has resigned, yesterday I made an appointment with the elder sister of the Wang family, and today I am going to buy gold hairpins from the lord If there is something new in that shop, I will not serve you anymore, please be kind to Mr. Lang."

"Go, go, take whatever you like. The shopkeeper of the gold and silver shop is a man with a good eye. The things are really well made and the price is fair. I'll send someone to inform him later. Good luck." Serve you two."

"Yes, Mr. Xie is sympathetic. The sisters of the slave family don't have to buy some, they just want to see something new, and they won't waste money. If Mr. Lang has nothing else to do, the slave family will resign."

"Well, let's go, lady."

Seeing Situ Yunsha leaving, Li Yu turned to Yingxiang;
"The two of them went to see the gold and silver jewelry, why didn't they ask Rong Niang to go?"

Yingxiang heard the Patriarch's question, and answered with a wry smile;

"My dear lord, think about it, these two are of noble birth, even though Mrs. Lin is now the senior manager of the backyard, she is from an ordinary family.

I finally got started with you, Mr. Lang, and I have read some books. It’s not too cheap, but if you want to compare it with the other two ladies, I’m afraid... You don’t think this is the case... The two ladies went out shopping, how could they invite Mr. Lin? Steward colleagues? "

Li Yu put down the ceramic bowl and sighed helplessly;
"I always thought that in our own family, there is no need to compare with those rich and powerful families. We should try our best to be more benevolent and don't care about the height of our birth. I didn't expect that it would be difficult to achieve in the end. Even in this backyard, there are ranks and ranks. How can this be? it is good?"

"Lang Junrong, don't blame the slaves for talking too much, your thoughts are too strange, and they have been passed down by our ancestors since ancient times for thousands of years.

Heaven is superior to earth, men are superior to women, superiors are superior to inferiors, there is a difference between the sons and daughters, the superiors and inferiors are orderly, but there should be no chaos.
This duck is a group of ducks, and a chicken is a group of chickens. There is a clear distinction between them. Sir, you should clean up those strange ideas of yours in the future, no one can understand them.

Besides, you always talk about other big families, sir, don't forget, our Li family's second wife is also a big family with five surnames and Qiwangli. Compared with other big families, there are only a lot more things that need to be paid attention to. of……"

Li Yu shook his head fiercely, and said weakly;
"That's right, the crow always lands on the pig, and only finds out the blackness of others, but forgets its own true nature.

Forget it, the rules passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, since they are powerless to break, then let him go, we can only hope that within the rules, we, the second wife of the Li family, try to be as gentle as possible in dealing with others, and don't be so ruthless , more benevolence, kindness, more compassion, and everyone will get along better! "

Yingxiang looked at Tanchun, directed the other maids to clean up the things on the table, turned her head and carefully replied;
"Lang Jun, if you can think like this, it's the best. You see, our Li family's second wife has been passed down from Longxi to Lantian for five generations, and we have never made any mistakes. You only need to follow the instructions passed down by your ancestors.

There is no need to have more details, and there is no need to worry about the inner courtyard being uneven or the house not peaceful. You can see that the four generations of patriarchs all have wives and concubines, especially the third generation of patriarchs has the most wives and concubines, with a total of 19 people.
However, the inner courtyard of the back house is also peaceful and peaceful. There has never been any intrigue and framing of each other like other big households, and there have been no homicide cases.

So, sir, please relax, it will still be like this in your generation, you only need to enjoy wealth and honor, and follow the precepts of your ancestors, you will have twenty or thirty wives and concubines, as long as you act according to the family rules and family precepts, and hold the hearts of justice, If you are impartial, there will be no chaos in this backyard. "

"Twenty, thirty? That's too much, right?"

Yingxiang quickly shook her head to answer;

"Not much, not much, our Second Household has always been a single pass, you see the clan elders who came to check in Longxi, every time they brought their descendants, and a large group came out to play, which made our patriarchs envious.

When Lao Alang was around, he wished to arrange a group of concubines for you. In the future, Mr. Lang can entrust the mistresses of the two great generals to find more concubines for you. But it's the best material for a noble concubine! "

When Xichun heard this, he immediately interjected in a low voice;

"Patriarch, you can also choose some of the nineteen surnames in the family to choose some who are attractive to the gentleman, raise their identities, and take over the house to be concubines. The eighth aunt of Aye, the servant's family, is the third generation. Where is the No.13 concubine's room of the head of the house."

As soon as Xichun spoke, Tanchun also got excited, seeing that there was no outsider in the room, he came over and said excitedly;
"Yes, sir, I, Aye, the eighth aunt in his family, heard that she was very prestigious back then, and since she entered the mansion as a concubine, she has enjoyed a lifetime of happiness.

Two hands have never touched Yang Chunshui since then, and the servants of a courtyard are serving him, which is really enviable to death.

I heard from the older generation that my aunt of Aye's family is as beautiful as a flower, a gentle lady, but it's a pity that the slaves are too ugly..."

Li Yu shook his hand helplessly when he heard one head and two heads;

"Where is this going? A certain family has just tied their hair, so it's too early to talk about these things, let's go, let's wait until Aye's filial piety expires.

Now, it's important to go to the household department to check it out. Otherwise, it's time to eat lunch again. Hurry back before the lunch, so as not to starve! "

The three personal maids walked quickly behind Li Yu, Tan Chun was still a little unwilling to give up, and was still muttering as she walked;

"Qi lord, it's not too young, you can take concubines when you tie your hair. If it weren't for Alang's filial piety, the lord should have ten concubines. Look at your brothers, lords from other families, which one Isn't there a bunch of women waiting on you?"

Xichun couldn't bear it anymore;
"That's right, Patriarch, look at the eldest son of the Cheng family, I heard that he recently took in two maids serving in the house!"

Li Yu asked casually with a smile;

"Tell me first, what did your Aye's clan aunt do before she became a concubine?"

Tanchun called Langjun to finally ask about an important matter, and immediately opened his mouth to answer after a burst of energy;

"Mr. Qi, my aunt of Aye's clan is one of the most beautiful women among the personal maids of the third-generation Patriarch!"

Several people walked out of the yard chatting and laughing, and the eight burly men who had children waiting at the entrance of the yard immediately followed behind the four of them.

Li Yu suddenly stopped, staring at Tanchun, Xichun and the two sisters, looking carefully, everyone followed Li Yu's steps and stopped, the two girls were stared at by Li Yu, and quickly lowered their heads.

Tanchun said submissively;
"Slave...I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said more...Please forgive me, Patriarch."

The eight personal maids beside Li Yu, except for Rong Niang, never looked at the others, and spoke gently;
"You two look up, a certain family needs to take a closer look. Are you two sisters one of the most beautiful maids here?"

The Tanchun sisters did not dare to disobey the order, they blushed and raised their heads, Xichun begged for mercy in a low voice;

"Patriarch, forgive me, Tanchun, she is always talking nonsense, Patriarch, don't take it to heart, please forgive me..."

"Did I let you speak?"

"No, no, slaves deserve to die."

Li Yu looked at the two sisters with interest, and said calmly;
"Not guilty."

"Thank you Patriarch for your innocence."

"Thank you sir."

"Well, I didn't realize it before, and Tanchun was right. Although you two can't be said to have outstanding looks, when put together, there is something special about it. You can hardly be regarded as a sister flower.

No wonder there are some careful thoughts, people die for money, birds die for food, and it is not a wrong thing to want to be rich and prosperous, but the duties of duty must be done well and steadfast.

Fortunately, you two are not lazy people, but put away those small thoughts in the future, and take care of a certain family first before talking about others. "

Tanchun looked like a dead old woman, disheartened, and forced a smile;
"No, the slaves don't dare to think about it anymore."

Tanchun's elder sister was quite different from Tanchun, but she was full of joy when she heard it, and gave a happy blessing;
"Yes, this servant has remembered, the Patriarch can rest assured, my sister and I will definitely keep it in mind in the future, so that we can be errands and serve the Patriarch carefully."

Li Yu nodded, then turned and left. A large group of people came to the gate of the General's Mansion. Four masters and servants got into a luxurious carriage. The strong man outside the carriage immediately put away his horses. The old mansion soldiers followed around the carriage, and everyone looked towards the imperial city...
