Rebirth of Fengmou

Chapter 96.morning training

The next morning, just as Du Lanyan woke up, the housekeeper came over. The housekeeper's surname was Li, and he looked kind, but his eyes implied shrewdness.

Seeing Du Lanyan, he made a bow with both hands, and said: "Ma'am, now that she enters the mansion, she has to take on the responsibility of being the mistress of the house. Today I brought the servant girl from the mansion over, first to get to know you, and secondly, Madam, please do morning training."

Du Lanyan looked out, and there were indeed people standing outside, neatly standing in four rows, while Aunt Li stood aside to maintain the formation.

Du Lanyan frowned, marrying Feng Yichen was not voluntary, she is not willing to ask her to lecture now!
Just when he was about to refuse, Steward Li bowed his waist, made a gesture of invitation with his hands towards the door, and said, "Madam, please!"

Unable to say any more words of refusal, Du Lanyan walked outside the door, glanced at the crowd, and said, "There is an ancient saying that 'a day's plan is in the morning', I hope everyone can cherish the morning time and do things well. Steward Li He is humble and virtuous, everyone should learn more from him, let the butler tell you how to behave in the world!"

After Du Lanyan finished speaking, she smiled at the butler, took a step sideways, and stood aside.

Everyone below looked at the steward, but the steward had no choice but to go forward, routinely said what he had to be trained every day, and then said a few words about how to behave, and then arranged their own work, that is, sent everyone away.

Seeing that all the servants had left, Du Lanyan turned around and entered the room, and ordered Yaya to send someone to bring breakfast.

Just as Yaya took a few steps, Steward Li glanced at her and stood there, looking at Du Lanyan with some embarrassment.

Du Lanyan sighed secretly, and gave her a look, telling her to go back to her original place and stand there first.

"Ma'am, since ancient times, success has been from thrift to extravagance. One porridge and one meal should be hard-won, half a thread, half a sliver, and constant memory. Before breakfast, I want to take my wife for a walk around the shops. Let Madam see how hard-earned the money is to support the expenses of this mansion." Li Butler said, waiting for Du Lanyan's answer, his face was calm, he looked kind, but in fact he was wronged.

Du Lanyan lowered her eyes, presumably it was because she smashed so many ancient porcelains yesterday, so the housekeeper came to find fault.

"No need." Du Lanyan refused directly. She was hungry and followed him to the shop, and she probably had to be carried back.

"From today onwards, I will keep my food and clothing simple. I only need porridge for breakfast in the morning, and one dish and one soup for lunch and dinner. From now on, I will not wear gold ornaments on my hair or silk on my body." He reached out and pulled off all the gold ornaments on his head, and placed them one by one in front of the table, leaving only a mahogany hairpin.

She looked at Steward Li with a smile on her face, not at all unhappy, and then said: "I was not born well, so I am used to suffering in the world. I don't need to look at it now, and I know that daily income is not easy, so, I will live frugally in the future.”

Steward Li was taken aback, but the little girl's reaction was beyond his expectation.

I thought that if she was born in a brothel, if she would look at people's eyes and be more docile, now she would choose to go hungry and go shopping with him; That is, but the woman didn't want to follow him in her heart, and she didn't want to lose face with him, so she followed his wishes and set an example of frugality.

On the surface, she looks extremely docile and impeccable, but if she is the majestic mistress of Fengfu, if she goes out in this outfit, people will look down on Fengfu. It is the poor people who will say a few words when they see it.

Not to mention this, according to how much the master dotes on her, if he sees her so simple, he will definitely ask. No matter what she says about this question, the master will blame him in the end.

This little girl's city mansion is not ordinary!She is docile on the surface, but there is tenacity in her bones, and she is not a master who will be bullied.

Thinking of this, Steward Li not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled, the master's woman should be like this, if she is as pure as a white lotus flower, which can be manipulated by everyone at will, how can she be the head mistress of Fengfu?

"You don't need these silks and satins, gold hairpins and silver ornaments. It's a waste to put them there. It's okay to wear them. It's okay to save on food." Li Butler didn't force her to go out, and ordered Yaya went to the kitchen to serve breakfast, and taking advantage of this time, she sent someone to the nearby study to bring a large pile of ledgers.

"Madam can be exempted from the morning training if she doesn't want to, and she can also be exempted if she doesn't want to go shopping, but as the head of the house, it is necessary to check the books and manage the affairs of the house." The butler casually took a book, flipped through Passed it to Du Lanyan, and then said: "Madam, if you don't understand, let Yaya teach you."

Du Lanyan didn't intend to stay in Fengfu often, and she has no interest in these things at all. Seeing that Steward Li brought so many ledgers, she felt dizzy.

"I'm illiterate, and I don't think I'm capable of managing people, so I'd better ask the housekeeper to take care of them." Du Lanyan still had a smile on her face, determined not to take over any affairs in the house.

Butler Li frowned, and looked at her a little strangely, how majestic is she to be the master of the house, yet she refuses in every possible way?It's different from ordinary women.

Butler Li wanted to say something else, but Yaya came back, she didn't hold the porridge in her hand, but her expression was a little anxious, as soon as she came in, she glanced at the room and saw that there were so many people, she went to Du Lanyan's side and attached herself to her Something was said in the ear.

When Du Lanyan heard this, her eyes sank, she nodded, she stood up, and said to Butler Li, "Butler Li, to tell you the truth, I'm naturally dull, and I really can't handle things like reading books and managing housework. If you don't come, don't force others to make things difficult for you. From now on, I will definitely not complain about how you manage the mansion, and if there is anything that requires me to cooperate, I will do my best!"

After Du Lanyan finished speaking, she also saluted Steward Li with a blessing, and her actions and words all had the meaning of please.

Without waiting for Butler Li to reply, he led Yaya Sufei out.

As soon as she went out, Yaya led the way and walked towards the firewood room. Butler Li's son was still guarding outside, and his face was even worse than last time.

Du Lanyan went outside the door and asked Yaya and Sufei to stay outside, then called the housekeeper's son to go in together.

After entering the door, Li Hong was still squatting in the corner, with her hands hugging her knees, trembling, and not far from her, lay a woman in linen clothes, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, she was completely pale. breathless.

"Lihong, this is the new lady who has entered the mansion. You tell the lady everything you know, so that the lady can make decisions for you." Li Feng, the son of housekeeper Li, came in at this time and saw Li Hong's face. It looked like she felt pity in her heart, but she couldn't comfort Du Lanyan in her arms in front of her, so she endured the impulse.
