Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 624;

Chapter 590 six;
Lijiazhuang, Lantian County, New Year's Day.

There was a lot of voices, Li Yu was no longer like when he first arrived, he sat in the main hall very casually, accepting the people from the clan to pay New Year's greetings to the Patriarch.

Mrs. Liu sat at the head on the east side, and the other elders filled the four rows of seats on the east and west sides of the main hall.

"The concubine is paying New Year's greetings to the Patriarch."

Li Yu watched Liang Jingzhen's Aye Niang come in with a group of children, and extended her hand enthusiastically;

"Okay, okay, Manager Liang is free of courtesy, and the lady is also free of courtesy."

"Thank you, Master."

Li Yu looked around but didn't see Liang Daudao, so he asked casually;
"Bold? Why don't you see him coming?"

"Going back to the master, boldly went to guard the gate of the brewery today. Recently, it was our Liang family's turn to guard the gate, so my concubine didn't ask him to leave the workshop last night. Chinese New Year is not as important as our brewery. .”

"Bold is a down-to-earth person. I have been following me for a year. I have seen him in my eyes. He is a person who can entrust important responsibilities. After you go back, arrange someone to replace him."

"It's the head of the family. The concubine will ask his brothers to come over and replace him after a while when the concubine returns."

Liang Bold's Aye Auntie beamed with joy when she heard this, a fool could tell that she had something to explain, and the other elders who were sitting were also whispering;

"Did you see it? It's shit luck for Liang's third family. His daughter was confiscated in the first six months. It's still hot. The owner of the house is going to arrange for his youngest son again."

"I said, Patriarch Wang, it smells like hearing your words, what's the matter? Are you greedy?"

"I... Sigh... Which of my granddaughters is not three points prettier than his niece? But the Liu family niece doesn't give us a chance to get close to the Patriarch, so it's useless for me to be greedy!"

There is a row of old men in the west, one of the elders turned his head and leaned towards another old man with a white beard who had lost several teeth and said sourly;

"Brother Liang, your son is really good. A few months ago, my daughter was confiscated and registered in the genealogy. It only took a few days?

It seems that the Patriarch wants to promote your little grandson again. You old guy has nothing to do in your life. When you get old, you didn't expect to bring your Liang family up, is it? "

The eyebrows of the parents of the Liang family were all crowded together when they laughed;
"Hahahahaha, you can't think of it? Do you really think that all the members of our Liang family are useless?
It's not me bragging, just my little granddaughter, since I was a child, I thought she was a noble person, take a look, take a look, this is a serious concubine's room written in the genealogy! "

The old man of the Wang family on the right was not happy after Mrs. Liang's long talk;

"Look at you, don't brag, Liang Da, tell me something from the bottom of your heart, which one of my granddaughters is not prettier than your little granddaughter?"

"Why do you look good? The owner didn't take your granddaughters into the house. It's not a matter of good-looking or not. This is fate, you know?"

"Oh, I said that you are an old man, and that you are fat and you still have a crush on you? It is king to laugh at the end, huh! Your granddaughter has entered the backyard? The four concubines of the owner are all enjoying the blessings in the backyard, your grandson Why didn't the daughter go into the inner house in the backyard?"

The head of the Liang family was choked by the head of the family surnamed Wang, and his beard was trembling in anxiety;

"I... my granddaughter is happy to live at home, why don't you do your shit, sooner or later there will be a yard for my little granddaughter in the backyard, the surname Wang is celebrating Chinese New Year today, I don't want to get angry with you, don't You don't know how to praise!"

"Hmph! Who's still afraid of you? I've never been afraid of you, Liang Da, since I was a child. What's wrong? I can't fight if I want to!"

Seeing that the two old guys were about to quarrel, the old brothers next to them all came to persuade the fight;

"Oh, forget it, you two, the patriarch has seen it, you should hurry up and stop."

Seeing that the anger here is getting bigger and bigger, the head of the Ma family hurriedly came to persuade;
"Stop arguing, both of you! Can't you make the head of the family happy when it's a big Chinese New Year?"

Li Yu who was talking stopped when he heard the movement here, turned around and asked with a smile;

"What interesting things do the elders say? Master Wang, can you say that everyone will have fun together?"

"Um, I didn't say anything when I returned home. It was about my little granddaughters."

Li Yu nodded and agreed;

"Oh, that's it. Those granddaughters of yours have been serving on duty. They are really good. They have a wink. Your Wang family's tutor is very good."

"By the way, I was bold when I said it just now. I have an errand to entrust to him in the spring. The lady should give more instructions when I go back. If you are a steward, you should look good. You can't always laugh and laugh with the subordinates."

Not long after Liang Daudao's Aye mentioned the chief steward, when he heard that his youngest son was about to get up again, he was overjoyed and immediately answered the question with a serious face;
"Patriarch, don't worry, no matter how much he dares to laugh and laugh with others, I will break his dog legs."

"Patriarch, don't worry, the concubine must strictly discipline him, and must make him look like a human being."

"Well, just give some more advice, and you don't need to be too nervous. Well, you all go back, the clansmen are waiting to come in to pay New Year's greetings, and you can't waste all your time on your family."

"It's the head of the house."

After dismissing the Liang family, other clansmen came in one after another to pay New Year's greetings. Li Yu waited until noon to finish seeing the clansmen. All the elders left the mansion, and Li Yi, the second steward of the front yard, came to ask for instructions;

"Lang Jun, it's time for lunch, do you want to invite the ladies in the backyard out?"

"I've been hungry for a long time, don't need to cry, I'm going to eat in the backyard today."

"promise."

Before Li Yu left, he glanced at the two female guards on duty beside him;
"What a coincidence, the two of you are on duty together today?"

Lin Bawang and Liang Jingzhen both blushed and nodded, Li Yu didn't point it out, and smiled;
"We all went to eat in the backyard. The two of you are also serious concubines registered in the genealogy. It's not a good way to always follow me as guards. I'm afraid you feel a little awkward?"

Liang Jingzhen quickly waved her hands to explain;
"No, no, servant girl... The servants don't have such thoughts."

Lin Bawang also shook his head quickly;
"If you want to go back to your lord, the servants don't dare to do so. If you want to be a concubine or not, the slaves will protect your lord's safety for the rest of your life."

"Let's go, take advantage of the opportunity of the reunion today and ask Mrs. Liu to arrange a yard for you. It doesn't look good if the head of the family's concubine always lives outside, and the backyard is your home."

"Yes, obey the master's order."

The two female guards were secretly happy when they heard this, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Jingzhen is different from Lin Bawang. Liang Jingzhen is timid, and her background is not as noble as Lin Bawang. She is somewhat resistant to the life in the backyard. Even with some fear...

Steward Liu watched the Patriarch lift his feet and walked, and reminded him by the way;
"The head of the family has already gone in, the two ladies please."

Liang Jingzhen was very flattered when she saw that the number one manager in the inner house was so polite, and hurriedly responded;

"Don't dare, please ask the manager first."

Lin Bawang didn't dare to trust him, even if he became a concubine, Lin Bawang knew clearly that the status and status of Mr. Liu was not something he could compete with. When Mrs. Liu was in power, several concubines of the Patriarch Everyone in the room is polite and polite to Mrs. Liu, so I should look a little bit more, A Niang has taught me countless times, even if you are a concubine, you have to respect the steward Liu...

"Auntie, please go first, and the nieces will leave later."

Lady Liu nodded in satisfaction and walked ahead;

"Where's your mother, Overlord, how are you doing recently?"

"Thanks to the fourth aunt, everything is fine, Auntie. Auntie is always thinking about asking Auntie to visit her home, but she also knows that Auntie has a lot of things to do, so it's not good to disturb her."

"Auntie is just serving people. Actually, it's not too busy. It's just that Mr. Wang is used to me serving by his side, and he can't leave his body."

"That is, Mr. Lang cannot do without his aunt's care."

After all, Lin Bawang and Liang Jingzhen are both from the family faction, and they will get closer together in the future. I have to mention Liang Jingzhen more. Lin Bawang secretly pulled Liang Jingzhen's sleeve. The latter came to his senses and hurried to join in. talk;

"The chief steward, you only serve the gentleman. This is the most honorable job in our second room. The gentleman can't do without the chief steward, you arrange things, so you are always busy. From now on, all the nieces will entrust the chief steward. take care of it."

Stepping into the middle gate, Mrs. Liu smiled and pointed to the house on one side;

"Now you are the concubines of the head of the family. Your identities are different from those in the past. You always go back to live at home. It is not very beautiful. There are four courtyards behind the west wing, and the noble concubine Mrs. Wang once lived in one of them. You two ladies can choose two To live here, but also to be auspicious and happy with the wife of the Wang family, maybe I can be promoted to the status of a noble concubine in the future."

"Thank you Fourth Aunt for the arrangement."

"Thank you for your care."

"Go first and eat later. You can't run away from this room. It's not too late to choose after eating."

"It's aunt."

"It's the big steward."

Mrs. Liu brought two concubines all the way to Li Yu's room at the end of the courtyard. The two women were Li Yu's personal bodyguards. It was when they were going out. They had never entered the backyard of the inner house once, so they had to be a little restrained Feeling, followed Manager Liu into the house and didn't come to talk too much.

"Lang Jun, the two ladies are here."

In Li Yu's room, two tables were placed up and down, and Li Yugao sat at the top;
"Okay, everyone is here, sit down."

"It's Mr. Lang."

Mrs. Liu nodded and walked to Li Yu's side to stand still. Lin Bawang and his two entered the room, saw the four ladies sitting in the room, saluted, and waited for the arrangement... The four ladies also owed owe body......

Although they are all concubines, they are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. This is the case in every family with five surnames and seven Wangs. Wei Xiaoniang, as the confidante of Her Royal Highness, is still a high-ranking official sixth-rank envoy, so she is naturally the most high-ranking. Sitting alone on the north side, Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha sat on the east side. Lin Rongniang, as the only daughter of the head of the house, grew up with the head of the house. The genealogy of Li's second wife clearly stated that Lin Rongniang~ concubine.

So Lin Rongniang sat alone on the west side, and Lin Bawang and Liang Jingzhen were concubines, strictly speaking, they couldn't sit at the same table with people here, so Miss Liu bent down to report;
"I want to report to you, the two ladies have come in, and the concubine will arrange another table. It won't delay you for too long. I wonder if you can agree?"

"Don't worry, you arrange your own."

"promise."

Lady Liu nodded in agreement, and waved to the servants in the room;
"Prepare tables for the two ladies."

"It's the big steward."

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are servants in the backyard. A dozen or so tribesmen immediately went to the next room to bring an Eight Immortals table and two Taishi chairs, and put them neatly and stood aside.

Manager Liu's personal second-class maid politely invited Lin Bawang to sit down;

"You two ladies, please sit here."

"good."

The two looked at the two grand master chairs placed on the east and west sides respectively, and gave way to each other. Lin Bawang sat on the east side, and Liang Jingzhen sat on the west side.

Li Yu didn't move his chopsticks, but spoke gently;
"There are only a few of you women in the backyard for the time being. Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Liang are my concubines who took over the house last year. They are born in the family. I think you have heard of it and should be no strangers. They have moved in since today. Live in the backyard, before the main wife and senior wife enter the door, you should take care of each other and live in harmony, don't gossip too much, lest others make fun of me."

"It's Mr. Lang, I will remember it."

Lin Bawang and Liang Jingzhen had never experienced this kind of situation before, they were half a beat behind, and just stood up to agree, but the four ladies on the other side had already responded neatly and sat down!

The two girls stood in embarrassment, neither responded nor spoke, Lin Bawang had a sad face accompanied by an embarrassed smile, and Liang Jingzhen who was opposite was extremely nervous...with her head down, she didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Li Yu smiled and looked at the two women;

"Don't be nervous, you will get used to it after a while. If you don't understand, you can ask Mrs. Liu for advice, or you can ask the four sisters for advice. Did you two hear what I said just now?"

"Go back to your lord, slave's house... I heard it clearly, and I must keep it in my heart."

Just as Lin Bawang's slave family spit out a little bit, he quickly changed his concubine status.

Although Liang Jingzhen is tall and burly, she was not afraid of fighting with boys since she was a child, but when she entered the backyard of this inner house, her whole body was tense, and she always felt that there was no place to rest her hands and feet. response;
"It's Mr. Lang, I remember it, ah, no, I... I remember it, I remember it."

Seeing Liang Jingzhen talking upside down, the first chief steward of the inner house immediately turned dark, Wei Xiaoniang who was sitting at the head was calm and blind, and Wang Kexin on the east side also had a serious face, Situ Yunsha covered the corner of her mouth with a silk scarf Sneaking, Lin Rongniang over there always felt that the other three ladies were not as kind as these two, so she couldn't help but smile;
"You two sisters don't have to be restrained. The inner house in the backyard is not a place to eat people, and our husband loves us all the time. Since you have entered the inner courtyard, you have to slowly get used to it."

"What Rongniang said makes sense, you guys sit down and talk."

"It's Mr. Lang."

"Being outside and inside the house are two different things, but it's not as scary as you think. You can eat and sleep when you want to eat. You can visit and chat with each other when you have nothing to do. You can also go out and walk around when you are free. Speaking of it, life should be very happy. It's comfortable, you just get used to it."

"It's Mr. Lang."

"However, there are still rules to be followed. When you say something, you have to be particular about it. Ask if you don't understand. Try to get used to it as quickly as possible."

"It's Mr. Lang, I will remember it."

This time the two of them learned to behave and agreed in unison, Li Yu turned to look at Manager Liu;

"Did the lady arrange a place for them to live?"

"Yes, sir. In the first place, the concubine Mrs. Wang lived in the West Wing. There are four courtyards. The concubine arranged for the two ladies to choose the one they like after dinner. They can move in tonight."

"That's good. The waiters should also be arranged in place, so don't neglect them."

"Yes, I don't dare to be a concubine. The second-class maids on duty in the mansion are hard to get out of in the front yard. There are still six people left in the back yard, and there are 11 third-class maids left, which are enough for two ladies."

"Good. Speaking of the second-class maids, now everywhere in the mansion is following the order, and the personal servants of the four ladies are still wearing second-class identities, which is not appropriate.

Tomorrow, the ladies can be arranged, and all of them will be promoted to first-class, and the vacant positions will be filled by third-class maids, and a few more first-class maids will be added in the front and rear yards, and the consideration of third-class maids also needs to be implemented as soon as possible. "

"Yes! According to the order of the master, I will report to the Lord. The third-class maids have already selected 36 maids to supplement. They are all on the errands of their respective aunts. The big stewards of each family will be qualified after consideration, Mr. Lang, rest assured that it will not take too long. As for the increase of second-class maids, it needs to be considered. No."

"Understood, the promotion to the second-class maid is indeed not sloppy, it must be carefully considered.

But it’s not enough to stick to the previous ones. Aye didn’t have many concubines before, and our second room was not very crowded, and the arrangements in our hands were enough. Now it’s very different. The women in the backyard will become more and more concubines. Many, there will be three wives coming in in the future, so the manpower is indispensable, and the lady has to worry a lot. "

"Yes, the concubine understands that the more concubines in the backyard, the better. When Alang is here, I always hope that you can spread your branches and leaves. The gentleman only cares about big things, and the concubines in the backyard keep an eye on you. It's on.

Sir, please eat, or the food will be cold in a while. "

"it is good."

Mrs. Liu filled Li Yu's meal. Li Yu picked up the chopsticks and moved them twice. Then the four ladies over there began to eat and drink. Liang Jingzhen was very worried this time. She even moved her chopsticks, so she began to eat cautiously. !
