"Steward Li, everyone is here?" A soft yet majestic voice reached everyone's ears, and the noisy main hall instantly became quiet.
Everyone saw a woman walking in from the door wearing a dark red floor-length skirt. The red wide-sleeved double-breasted skirt had a slight black color, which made her look even more solemn. Her long hair, usually rolled up high, was now
Half-armed, with only a gold phoenix hairpin attached, it is noble but not vulgar. The black silk on the shawl gives this woman, now a married woman, the brightness of a girl, making people's eyes bright and full of vitality.
Ye Luo specially wore a veil of the same color today to cover up her ugly face, revealing a pair of smiling black eyes, adding to the mystery.
"Yes, Princess, all the officials outside the palace are here." It must be said that today's Ye Luo also gave Butler Li a different visual conflict.
"I'm here to pay my respects to the princess." When they saw the woman walking in, there was only one thought in their minds. This woman was not something they could control.
"Excuse me, managers. It's really hard to come all the way. Let's sit down and talk." Ye Luo is very satisfied with their behavior. It seems that yesterday's attack on the mountain has played a big role today, "Bingyue, here you go.
The steward is serving tea."
"Over the years, the prince's illness has been recurring. This huge palace is also thanks to the support of the stewards. I am very grateful for your friendship with the palace." Ye Luo said very politely, with a smile on his face and a clear and soft voice.
The butler sitting there breathed a sigh of relief.
"The princess is serious. The slaves are the slaves of the palace. It is the duty of the slaves to share the worries of the prince and princess." Maybe this princess is not as smart as she showed.
They came to the capital this time on the order of the housekeeper, to meet the princess, no, I should say the mistress of the house, their future master.
Logically speaking, the day after the prince's wedding, they were supposed to come to greet the princess and explain the business in hand, but they were not notified for a long time. The meeting ceremony was more than a month late. They all secretly guessed whether it was true.
There are rumors in the market that the power of the palace is really in the hands of the princess, and the princess has no talent and virtue and is disliked by the prince.
Faced with these rumors, they did not immediately start fawning over Murong's concubine like outsiders, but adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Since they could live alone outside the palace, unlike the stewards in the palace, they could all be said to be old foxes.
Although these people don't have much interaction with the Ye family's business, they still know it to some extent. Naturally, they won't believe all the rumors about the eldest lady of the Ye family. Besides, she has the backing of the Ye family and the Ouyang family.
On the other hand, Princess Murong, the side concubine, although she had the right to be the mistress of the palace at that time, there was no news from the palace asking them to bring business to meet their future master.
Therefore, they all have a wait-and-see attitude, trying to find ways to seize the power in their hands. Some of them manage banks and restaurants outside the house, and some live alone as the owners of the Hundred Acre Manor. Overtly and secretly, they do not know how much they have secretly made for themselves.
Cai. In the past few years, the master has been seriously ill, and there is no mistress in the house. No one cares about them at all. As long as they are not too excessive, the housekeeper will turn a blind eye.
Now that there is an additional mistress in the house, they have to make other plans. The princess's treatment of the house stewards yesterday was undoubtedly a warning to them.
Yesterday and today, the princess had two different attitudes. It’s hard to say what will happen next?
"Is Shopkeeper Yang from Dianxiang Building here today?" Ye Luo casually picked up the account book and flipped through it twice.
Yang Jing, who was drinking tea, was called upon and put the cup down calmly, "My servant Yang Jing is the shopkeeper of the Incense Building. I would like to obey the princess's instructions."
"Shopkeeper Yang, you handled the poisoning incident that happened at Dianxiang House this year very well. The income of Dianxiang House has been relatively stable in recent years. Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Yang." Ye Luo seemed to be chatting with an old friend, unable to listen.
Out of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Shopkeeper Yang who was standing in the middle, and the tense strings in their hearts relaxed. They thought that the princess was definitely going to make an attack this time, but they didn't expect that she just said a few insignificant things.
But if you listen carefully, you will find a problem. There has never been any poisoning in Dianxiang House this year, and how did Ye Luo know about it? This poisoning incident was because shopkeeper Yang used it for profit.
The poor-quality ingredients caused food poisoning in a total of ten people from four families. This matter was simply handled well and no news came out, otherwise the Incense Building would have been ruined, and the palace might have been implicated as well.
"Princess..." Shopkeeper Yang was about to kneel down. How did she know about this?
"Shopkeeper Yang" Ye Luo stopped him and said, "I hope that next time I see shopkeeper Yang, Dianxiang Restaurant can become the largest restaurant in Huadu."
Shopkeeper Yang was stunned for a moment, then understood and knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your appreciation, the princess. I will definitely live up to the princess's expectations."
Ye Luo saw that he later realized his mistakes and corrected them, and did a good job in remedial measures. Instead of suppressing the incident in a harsh way, he hired a doctor to treat them in time and paid compensation afterwards.
If she had to be merciful, she was willing to give Shopkeeper Yang another chance.
"Shopkeeper Shi, Yuntong Bank has opened many branches in recent years, so you have been troubled." Ye Luo said implicitly that it is best to hand over the money earned from the banks opened in the name of the palace as early as possible, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.
.
Ye Luo's words became more and more sharp from now on. Whether they were praise or criticism, reward or punishment, they were the final word and could not be refuted.
The shopkeeper whose name was not called became more and more frightened as he listened to it. Shopkeeper Yang thought with lingering fear, fortunately he turned back in time, otherwise today, he would have worked hard all his life and not even have money for retirement.
"Come here, pull Steward Zhang down and beat him up, and expel the family members from Zhuangzi. From now on, the affairs of the manor will be handled by the second steward of the manor. Our Ye Mansion does not need such slaves who work in secret, and we cannot leave such servants in Zhuangzi."
People who care about people's lives." Ye Luo glanced down coldly, "Although I will not take your lives, but if someone harms the interests of Prince Yi's Palace, then don't blame me for being rude and letting a person do it.
There are so many ways to have a hard time.”
"Thank you for your hard work today and go back to rest early. I hope to see the accounts sent by you personally tomorrow morning. Manager Zhang just wants to give you a warning first. If there are any offenders, I just want to remind you.
Don’t bother your parents.”
Ye Luo left a cold word, regardless of everyone's reaction, rolled up his sleeves and left. He was full of smiles when he came, and sneered when he left. A huge stone weighed on the hearts of all the managers.
