Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 216

On that day, no one knew exactly what happened, but someone saw with their own eyes that there was a dirty rift between the newly appointed Lord Protector and General Xiong Da Fu.Others said it vividly, it seemed that if it wasn't for the obstruction of the palace gate, the two of them would have fought.

Reminiscent of His Highness Prince Rui sending people to resettle Duke Hu Guo's family, this can't help but make many people's imagination run wild.After all, everyone knows that General Xiong fell into the eyes of the Holy Majesty because of Prince Rui. Although he didn't have much contact with him later, he respected His Highness Prince Rui quite a lot.As for Duke Hu Guo, he had a lifelong friendship with His Highness Prince Rui. Speaking of which, His Royal Highness Prince Rui's meritorious service was indispensible to Duke Hu Guo.

After thinking about it in this way, some people thought that they had seen some ways of signaling. Perhaps General Xiong was unwilling to be crushed by a countryman, and he was a little dissatisfied with the Duke Protector.Then, when the ministers sent presents to Prince Rui's residence to congratulate, General Xiong snorted coldly and did not express anything.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Rui did not see him behind closed doors, it was still difficult to calm everyone's speculation.

Anyway, one is the General Fuguo and the other is the newly appointed Duke Huguo, so it must have caused many people to wait and see and ponder. Some people were secretly anxious, while others watched with joy as General Xiong and His Highness Prince Rui turned against Duke Huguo.Anyway, no matter how you say it, there was another turmoil among the several princes. The eldest prince and the four princes showed their favor to the General Fuguo one after another, and even some factions continued to win him over.

In short, in just seven or eight days, anyone with a little discernment in the officialdom can see the difference in the court.

It's just that all of this seems to have nothing to do with the people in the Duke's Mansion. At this moment, Zhang Mandun is ordering people to welcome his wife and his party into the Duke's Mansion.After all, it was a mansion bestowed by the emperor himself. After entering the mansion three times, it was connected to the four-acre garden at the back. It was not only decent but also very spacious.Behind the garden, there is a row of houses, said to be houses arranged for servants in the mansion.

The servants of Prince Rui's mansion helped to clean it up, and a few maidservants rewarded by the emperor helped to hang up the tents and spread out the bedding. In just half a day, some of the dilapidated houses that had been left unused before were immediately destroyed. It's changed, it's very lively.

In addition, because of the plaque and belongings bestowed by the emperor, Lin Baozhu and the others moved in smoothly after the father-in-law who came to the palace to deliver things settled the things that day.

When Lin Baozhu and the others entered the house and had just rested for a while, the housekeeper of Prince Rui's residence also came, and behind him were several well-known people in the capital.It is said that many maids and servants in the palace will also buy from the hands of these people.

When Ren Yazi came in, Lin Baozhu took a closer look, and it was indeed different from the ones she had seen in Taoshuwan before.Now this one in front of me is well-dressed and well-made. She looks about 40 years old, but she is very energetic.

Lin Baozhu looked at it calmly, and then looked at the girl next to the first person, who was wearing a maroon skirt and a dark blue jacket and waistcoat. She was slightly fat but had a very kind face. .

"General, madam, don't worry, these two are well-known people in the capital, and the people in their hands are trained according to the rules of big families, and they all know their roots and backgrounds, and there will never be any big mistakes. "The housekeeper of Prince Rui's residence bowed his hands in salute, and said with a smile, "Even official slaves, most of them will be trained by these two."

Lin Baozhu nodded when she heard the words. After all, she had already bought two families, and she was used to the routine of human trading in this era.In fact, earlier, she was very awkward. In her previous life, buying and selling human beings was illegal and criminal, and she had to be beaten.But nowadays, for wealthy families, buying and selling people is simply a common thing.What's more, as long as the money is paid, even ordinary people can buy someone from the hands of a child to be a son or marry a daughter-in-law.

The two boys following the butler stepped forward and bowed. They looked calm and respectful, but there was no obvious flattery or flattery.

"I have seen the general, I have seen the wife." Although Ren Yazi is in charge of the human trafficking, he can be regarded as a businessman, but his status is extremely low due to the prejudice of the world.Whenever a sophisticated family buys people, they must call themselves slaves. This is a rule that cannot be broken.

Furthermore, although Zhang Mantun was granted the title of Huguogong, he was appointed as a first-rank general.Therefore, it is not uncommon for outsiders to call him general.Conversely, the civil servant Xu Shi is more willing to call him the Duke of the country, but the two boys are also good people, and he knows very well that now when the whole Zhou Dynasty is cheering and defeating the Xiongnu, calling General Xu Shi is the only way to please the two noblemen.

Sure enough, Zhang Mantun was still used to people calling him General, but he didn't feel any displeasure because of this title.

Lin Baozhu glanced at the two of them, and saw that they were very polite and behaved very carefully, even the way they raised their heads was not annoying, so she couldn't help feeling satisfied.Don't look at the two of them as inconspicuous, but such a person is generally the best able to teach servants who know how to advance and retreat.

Now that they have just entered the capital, it can be said that they have nothing but the title of Duke Protector of their own man.It can even be said that they have no foothold at all.If you find a servant who is not sensible, I am afraid that not only will not be able to properly manage the Duke's mansion, but it will even cause trouble for the mansion.

She is not afraid of trouble, but she doesn't want to increase her troubles in vain.After all, she still has a lot of things to do in the future. Taoshuwan needs to be taken care of, Zhang Ji needs to take care of, and business matters need to be taken care of. Right now, only Meiren Tea and Baijiguan Tea are opening shops in Beijing. It's enough for her to think about it.

"Come on, since the two of you were introduced by the housekeeper, I can trust you. It's just that we're talking ugly first, and the origin of this person can't be vague. If there is any trouble of forced buying and selling in the future, I will do it for you." You're asking." Lin Baozhu raised her hand, glanced at the man sitting next to her who was not at all conscious of opening her mouth, and couldn't help but have black lines all over her head, then knocked with a smile.

After receiving the master's words, the two of them naturally bowed their knees and saluted respectfully again, and said with a smile on their faces: "Madam, you can rest assured that the slaves have personally selected the people, and there will be no mistakes."

While talking like this, Qingqing took the tea tray and entered the flower hall.Seeing that there were outsiders, she naturally saluted first, and then went forward to bring tea to the general and his wife.

Zhang Mandun took the tea, and without giving Qingqing a chance to move, he turned around and handed it to his wife.Anyone who saw that movement felt as if they had done it thousands of times, extremely proficient.

Lin Baozhu, who was born as a wife, took the tea without changing her face, and then took a sip before showing a satisfied expression.Her movements were calm and without twitching, which made the slightly stunned people come back to their senses, and suddenly felt that the general and his wife should be so normal.

In fact, it’s not that they are pedantic, but it’s the female virtues of three obedience and four virtues that women marry and obey their husbands that restrain them, making them always feel that women should serve men, serve tea and water, and take off their clothes.No matter what kind of noble lady she is, even if she is an imperial daughter, she can't get around this truth.

A woman should regard her husband as her god, even if she is unrestrained and unrestrained before marriage, after marriage, she should restrain her temperament, care for her husband and teach her children, be tolerant, and work hard for the prosperity of her husband's family.

But looking at it now, the general is not only impatient with serving his wife with his former maid, but also serving tea and water with his own hands, and even handing over a handkerchief to talk to his wife softly.On the contrary, he doesn't care about Fuchu's purchases.

Lin Baozhu naturally wouldn't twitch, it's just that she didn't have that awareness yet.Moreover, she has long been used to her own man treating her like this, and the two of them have become a tacit understanding, so she doesn't care whether they are in front of others or behind others.

She didn't take it to heart, and Zhang Mandun didn't care, as long as he was nice to his daughter-in-law, what time and occasion should he divide?

What the two of them thought, the people below didn't know, but it didn't prevent them from becoming more respectful towards their wife after seeing the general and his wife's loving behavior.

After it was decided, Lin Baozhu asked the two boys to bring him in for a look.The two boys didn't dare to delay, they hurried to the door, opened the curtains left and right to invite the people waiting outside to enter the house.

As the men and women filed in, the people in the room could only hear the deafening sound of greetings, and then, the more than 30 people respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads.

This time, it made Lin Baozhu feel awkward.She knew that there were no human rights these days, but she never thought about it, but she just bought a servant, and she would be so motivating, and all the people knelt down and kowtowed.

Fortunately, she was more or less prepared, so no jokes were made.

After putting down the teacup, her eyes fell on the crowd kneeling on the ground and saluting.It seems that the housekeepers of Prince Rui's Mansion are also doing their best, most of the people at present are maids and servants in their teens and twenties, they are dressed in general, but they are clean and tidy, and they hang their heads respectfully, without looking around or making any small moves.

Lin Baozhu glanced slightly across the crowd, and saw that the maidservants in their twenties were beautiful, but they didn't show joy or contempt or disappointment.As for the dozen or so young servants behind, they were also submissive and stable.

When it comes to employing people, Lin Baozhu is not afraid of people who are simple and simple, but is afraid of those who want to climb high or have different intentions.Don't say that if you buy someone, you can cultivate loyalty. You know, most of the time, there are only three or five people who serve you, so why would she bother to cultivate the loyalty of dozens of people?

Moreover, some people are always dissatisfied. As the saying goes, people are not enough to swallow an elephant, and those who have plans may sell the Duke's mansion and the owner for their own self-interest.

So in comparison, she prefers servants who keep their own place and stick to their duties.Even if the work is not so satisfactory, it is better than using secret means secretly.

"In this way, those of you who are literate stand on the left, and those of you who know how to punch and kung fu stand on the right. If you are proficient in both, you should stay where you are. In addition, if you consciously have any work or craft you are good at, you will also be able to do it later. You can talk about it one by one."
