Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 697;

Chapter 650;
Zhao Xiuyi, the Xuanjie school captain defending the city, was so happy from ear to ear when he heard what his brother said;
"Brother Xian said too deeply, Brother Yu is also hard to understand what it means?"

The Junhou who spoke had a confident expression;

"What's so difficult about this, brother, just imagine, among the dozen or so young generals who have been named by the young master of the Li family, there is one who should not be judged for wealth or promotion?"

Zhao Xiuyi nodded solemnly and responded very positively;

"There is not one of them. Although there are indeed different lengths of time, and the final promotion levels are also different, but they are all really promoted.

The Marquis of the Li family is well-known all over the world, let alone an eighth-rank captain Xuanjie, it is not difficult to promote a sixth-rank captain Zhenwei by one or two levels. "

"So, brother, what are you worried about? Even if General Yuchi can't come out for a while, it's not a big problem for you to be promoted one or two levels. As long as brother hugs Lord Li's thigh and doesn't let go, you still worry Don’t you come to be rich? Brothers are all waiting to drink!”

"Hahahahaha, my virtuous brother really woke up the dreamer with one sentence. It is not easy to want to drink wine. A while ago, my wife went to buy ten catties of Wuliangye and [-]% high-grade liquor. It is so clear. At the bottom, the entrance is like fire, and the belly is like a knife. You will guard the city gate for a while, and brother Yu will go back and confess to the three wives and concubines. At night, he will clean up a table of good banquets and come out. Everyone is not allowed to miss any of them."

"Don't worry, general, there won't be a single brother missing tonight."

Seeing a group of his brothers swallowing and spitting, Captain Xuanjie Zhao Xiuyi laughed out loud!
Not to mention that the military guards guarding the city were very busy here, but Li Yu finally returned to the site of Li's Second Household in Lantian County in the afternoon after a bumpy journey.

Li Yu who got off the carriage was still a little dizzy, and when the two personal maids supported him and walked into the courtyard, Li Yu finally stabilized his figure.

The courtyard was full of male and female servants, and the red cotton cloth on the ground was spread from the main hall of the front yard to the gate, and red lanterns were hung under all the eaves.

Mrs. Liu, the number one steward of Li's second bedroom, just came out of the middle courtyard with a group of subordinates, and the demeanor of Mrs. Liu's number one steward in the inner house can be seen at a glance;
"Has everything been arranged in the kitchen?"

Li Zhong, the chief steward of the front yard, also led his subordinates to follow and responded quickly;
"If you go back to the lady, the kitchen is already preparing the night food, and everything is available. Please don't ask me any more questions, lady."

Mrs. Liu nodded;
"Good! I don't worry about your work, but I heard that the reporter came back?"

"I came back. It is said that the master brought his family servants and disciples to less than a hundred people. I made a simple calculation. Thirteen tables are enough for the banquet. It's the lower class."

"Okay, Li Zhong, go and arrange the errands yourself. Remember, there can be no omissions. If you mess up the errands, you will have to follow the family law tonight. No one can intercede. Any subordinate who is in charge will make a mistake. , whoever is in charge will have to suffer, even if the Patriarch asks for mercy, I will not take a step back."

"only!"

Lady Liu sent Li Zhong away and turned to look at the group of men and women under her command;
"I heard you clearly. What I said just now was not aimed at anyone, but all the clansmen. The master has been back in Sichuan for more than three years. Now how many people have returned are waiting to see how the Patriarch will behave. The slightest neglect can cause the Patriarch to be ridiculed by the world. ,

I always discipline others strictly. The people here can’t be negligent. They also have to obey the rules. Everyone must abide by their own rules. Standing must have a posture, walking must have a walking posture, even my subordinates As long as they make mistakes, they will be punished without mercy. I can't let people say that I, the number one in charge of the inner house, are unjust and partial to my own people! "

A large group of men and women bent down and bowed their heads and answered in unison;

"It's a lady, I'll remember."

"Just remember it, and then send someone out to have a look. The head of the family is back. If the head of the family doesn't return, I can't feel at ease."

"It's my lady, I'll go out to check and welcome you personally, huh? Look, lady, there are crowds of people at the gate, it should be the head of the house coming back, right?"

"Oh?"

As soon as Mrs. Liu turned around, she saw Li Yu's two personal maids, Xi Chun and Tan Chun, helping Li Yu in, and Mrs. Liu quickly greeted him;
"The lord is back, and the concubines pay homage to the lord."

Li Yu scratched his head and said strangely;

"On weekdays, women usually consider themselves as slaves, so why are you so formal and serious today? You're talking about being a courtier and concubine!"

Although the two sisters of Xichun were promoted to first-class maids, and their status was equivalent to that of ordinary chief stewards, they still had to behave in front of the chief steward of Li's second house, so the two sisters bent down to salute together;

"I've seen Manager Liu."

"The two younger sisters will be exempted quickly."

"Thank you, Steward."

"Lang Jun, please come to the main hall first. You can sit in the main hall so that the people below will be refreshed when they are busy."

"Okay, okay, I understand these rules, and they must be strictly followed. There are quite a few people who want to find fault with us now, and I really dare not be careless."

As soon as Li Yu was talking, Lady Liu personally supported her into the main hall. Sister Xichun had no choice but to let her go obediently, and she couldn't compete with Lady Liu for favor.

"Lang Jun, sit down, come, hurry up and prepare the tea that Lang Jun likes to eat."

"only!"

After dismissing her servant Liu Niangzi, she explained with a smile;

"Yeah, sir, you know how many people are watching us, so don't dare to be sloppy today. The master's side is a noble family after the 72 saints. It has been passed down for more than 1000 years, and they pay attention to these things the most.

The name of the slave family is acting like a baby in private. In front of the Shangguan family, it is still safe to regard ourselves as a concubine. We have made our own rules so that we are not afraid of who will pick our faults. What do you think, Mr. Lang! "

Li Yu turned his head and looked, except for Lin Rongniang who had been arranged to be a concubine, the remaining seven personal first-class maids in his house were standing beside him with their subordinates, Li Yu looked at Miss Liu and nodded with a smile;

"Great kindness! I always don't need to ask and take care of things, my lady, but what errands do I have to order my personal servants? Just do what you want, lady, and you don't have to see outsiders. You are the number one steward of my second room, of course you are." Those who have the right to mobilize troops."

"Look at what you said, sir, there are so many people in our second bedroom that we can't do anything about it, and there are only seven first-class people around you. Let's serve you well, sir. Which family can have any work? It's the turn of the head of the family." Waiting for the first maid to come out? If it gets out, outsiders will definitely laugh at us for the discord in Li's second bedroom."

Since Mrs. Liu returned to her post, she is no longer as rigid as before, she has done a lot of tricks, and handled the affairs of the house much softer. Now she is getting more and more popular!

These are all taught by Mrs. Liu, who has been in power all her life. I don’t know how much spit was wasted, and I have repeatedly warned the little girl many times.
No matter how busy the mansion is, it is impossible to really order those close friends of the head of the family. This is the bottom line that is absolutely insurmountable.

So Lady Liu never arranged anything for Li Yu's seven personal first-class maids after regaining power. Even in other aspects of the mansion, Lady Liu also changed many places, trying to keep it round and not as rigid as before. It is also the main reason why the prestige of Liu Daguan is getting higher and higher.

Li Yu glanced at Mrs. Liu with satisfaction, then took the tea brought by the servants and started to drink it.

The low-browed Steward Liu watched all directions and listened to all directions. The owner's casual look was also captured by Steward Liu. It is obvious that Mr. Liu is very satisfied with his attitude. What A Niang said is true, even though the housekeeper The number one chief steward has an overview of the power, but he can't let it go. All the forces in the backyard must take care of the balance, especially the personal maid of the head of the family, who must not be offended!

The seven personal first-class maids who stood still and graceful were not fools who knew what to do, they bowed neatly to thank them;

"Thank you for taking care of my lady."

"Several younger sisters, hurry up and give up the courtesy, don't be too polite, they all belong to the same family, or live under the eaves of the inner house, they have to help each other!"

The seven personal first-class maids raised their bodies and all smiled;
"What the chief steward said is true!"

"Report."

A servant walked in three steps unhurriedly at the entrance of the hall;

"Sir, sir, the master's chariot team is accompanied by people from the tribe, and it has already reached thirteen miles away."

"Oh, I see."

"The villain will leave."

"Let's go."

"Here."

Li Yu turned his head to look at Miss Liu's affectionate face;

"The master returned with his family, and there are a few brothers and sisters. The lady has to make arrangements."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, everything is under control, and no one will be neglected."

"Great kindness! Oh, by the way, Master's servants and servants also have to correspond to the level, not too much."

"My lord, the meals for the servants are eight people to a table, four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, plus a pot of corn porridge, and a meat pancake for each person."

"Okay, these are rich enough for the servants."

"I don't know who the lady invited to be the main wife and the other two concubines to accompany Master?"

"If you want to return to Langjun, I invited A Niang to come over, and invited the wives of the elders of the Lin family and the Ma family to come out to be the main wife and elder wife to accompany the master, and the rest of the elders' wives with the [-] major surnames to sit with the two concubines of the master. Room, wives and concubines are divided into two rooms, the wife of the master entertains in the first side hall of the east wing.

Mr. Lang's senior sisters sit in the main hall of the north room in the middle courtyard of the inner house, and in the back yard, four ladies from the Wei family, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Situ, and Mrs. Lin come out to eat and drink with them.

The two concubines ate and ate in the first side hall of the West Wing. Mr. Lang personally accompanied his wife and several senior brothers to eat, drink and talk in the front hall. I wonder if he would be satisfied? "

"Satisfied, the arrangement is very regular and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Thank you Mr. Lang for your compliment."

"What about the place where Master lives?"

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, it will still be the old place where the master lived. It has been cleaned up long ago, and you can move in when the master comes back. Oh, it is behind the two courtyards where Liu Wanquan and Liu Da are in charge. The three courtyards with two entrances are gone."

"Oh, that's good. I don't have anything to ask. I just wait for the teacher to return, so I can entertain them. There will be no red tape after tomorrow."

"That's right. In the past, when the master was at home, Alang and the master were brothers, and they didn't pay too much attention."

"Okay, the teacher still has more than ten miles to go. I'll go to the backyard to have a look and give some advice by the way."

Mrs. Liu helped Li Yu to get up, and explained with a smile;

"Yes, sir, go slowly, the concubines have to arrange some affairs and cannot accompany you in."

"Although the lady arranges, I will go in by myself, but I must also pay attention to my body, don't overwork, I will go to your room to rest tonight."

The head of the family said so openly and transparently that he was going to sleep in his own room, and Madam Liu flushed with shame in an instant, and she lowered her head and dared not look at anyone.

Li Yu brought seven personal maids into the second gate of the middle court, and saw many men and women busy non-stop. Today, the middle gate was opened to welcome guests, and the male and female servants in the front yard can come in and out to serve under the arrangement of their respective managers.

Mrs. Wei brought Wang Kexin, Situ Yunsha, and Lin Rongniang to decorate the main hall in the middle courtyard of the inner house. When the head of the family came back, all of them had smiles on their faces, and the four bowed down to worship;
"The concubine pays homage to the lord."

"Ladies and gentlemen, stand up without ceremony."

"Thank you sir."

Li Yu looked at the spotless main hall of the central courtyard, looked around very satisfied, and even touched the furniture, there was no dust, the old earthen paint was clean and translucent, it could almost reflect the figure of a person.

"Women sit with the two senior sisters, it will be hard tonight."

"It's not hard work, I'm waiting for my share."

Li Yu nodded, ended the official talk, and stared at Situ Yunsha;

"My lady's Situ family and Shangguan's family are both descendants of sages, and I heard that the two ancestors have a close relationship. Can you know the temperament of the two senior sisters?"

Situ Yunsha smiled and blessed him with a small gift;
"Returning to Mr. Lang, the two families do have contacts. It's just that after Situ's family was in trouble, the head of Shangguan's family returned to Sichuan. The two families have not communicated for more than three years, but they met once many years ago, so it is not unfamiliar!"

"Oh, I thought my wife knew the details."

"Don't worry, Mr. Shangguan. The Shangguan family has always been extremely free and easy. Among the 72 sage descendants of the sages, it is the only old-fashioned family that does not stick to the rules and regulations. It is also a very pragmatic family and is very convenient for entertaining. The four sisters are not pedantic and dull people, and they will never lose Lang Jun's face!"

"Well, I know this too, but I still need to tell you to be at ease."

Lady Wei answered Li Yu's words seriously;
"Lang Jun's lesson is that the concubine must pay more attention."

"good."

Although Wang Kexin doesn't like talking too much on the scene, but at this moment, Li's second wife is grandly entertaining distinguished guests, and she doesn't want to be left behind;
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best."

"it is good."

Lin Rongniang opened her mouth without waiting for Li Yu to look over;
"My concubine is learning from the three sisters, talking less and doing more, please don't worry, sir."

Li Yu gently pinched the face of her best friend Lin Rongniang;
"Don't underestimate yourself. The rules of my Li family's second wife are no less than those of any family in the world. Just follow the rules you learned from elementary school. Even in the prime minister's mansion or the general's house, you can do it well."
