"Open your eyes and see clearly. The people in front of you are all the masters of the Li family. This is the Prince of Chang'an County who was personally named by His Majesty. This is the lord's wife, and this is the second young lady..." Uncle Li stood
He said loudly in front of a crowd of servants.
The Viscount's Mansion now has dozens of people, so it is naturally different from before. Various daily affairs have to be taken care of by someone. Of course, it is impossible to leave all these things to Li Yi himself or Ruyi, a housekeeper.
It is indispensable.
The old lady specially asked Uncle Li to come over and help him manage these affairs. In other words, from now on, Uncle Li will be the steward of the Viscount Mansion.
"There are only a few masters in the house. You must be respectful and respectful on weekdays. No one is allowed to enter the inner house except the maids..." This is the first time the servants of the Li family have met the master, and it is also their first time.
Once I listened to the butler's lecture, I stood there respectfully, secretly remembering everyone's faces, but I was feeling uneasy. I didn't know what the lord's temper was like, whether he would be easy to get along with, and what his wife's temper was like.
, I may be careful in these days.
They were all registered as slaves and belonged to the property of the Viscount House. If they accidentally violated the master's taboo, no one would be able to explain to them if they were buried in a pond.
"Okay, okay, you all go and do your own business. There are not many people at home. Just do what you should do on weekdays." Li Yi waved to the servants and said: "Old Madam
If you have bad eyesight, pick two more clever girls to serve the old lady, and let them do their own thing for the rest. In addition, for the first meeting, all the servants will be rewarded with a certain amount of money, which can be withdrawn from the accounting room."
There were not enough manpower, so Uncle Li was both the housekeeper and the accountant.
Many servants were slightly happy when they heard this. The money they received was already their monthly salary at the Viscount's Mansion. More importantly, the lordship was generous and he seemed to be a pleasant person. He should not be difficult to get along with in the future.
I'm afraid it would be much easier.
Even some pretty maids began to feel alive in their hearts.
If my appearance catches the eye of the lord, then I can really fly on the branches and become a phoenix. Even if I can't become a concubine, my status will be great——
However, when they saw the lord and lady, the second young lady, and even the personal maid next to them, they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
With their looks, they really can't compare. Moreover, the second lady actually carries a sword with her. If - the consequences are too serious, all the maids have given up this unrealistic idea -
When I came from Qing'an Mansion, I traveled lightly and had almost no luggage. However, the Viscount Mansion was fully equipped with furniture and other things. If you really needed anything, you could just go out and buy it.
The Viscount's Mansion is very large, and at least dozens of people are far from satisfied. A bachelor Viscount like Li Yi is rare. Counting my grandma's family, there are only eight people in it.
Li Yi and Ruyi naturally chose a courtyard in the inner house, one for Duanwu and his aunt and grandma, and one for Miss Liu Er. Xiaohuan did not dare to live alone. With her, Lao Fang and his uncle lived in the outer house.
.
As the mistress, Ruyi was led by two maids to get familiar with the Viscount's Mansion. Xiaohuan also followed. Miss Liu Er was cleaning her room. Li Yi was sitting on the stone bench in the yard. The maids and servants who passed by were all respectful.
The salute proves that this place will belong to him from now on.
Imagine, the sun is slightly drunk, the wind is beautiful, you are lying leisurely in the yard to bask in the sun, the two pretty maids on the left and right are squeezing your arms and legs, and the talented maid is singing a song and dancing, I'm tired of seeing it.
Ordinary dance, let Miss Liu Er perform a sword dance - at this point in life, there is nothing more I could ask for.
Life always seems to be getting better. Half a year ago, I was hiding in the mountains, drinking porridge and stealing chickens. Now I have crossed over into a moderately prosperous life, living in the most prosperous city, with a group of maids and servants at home, and officially living a feudal life.
The luxurious life of a great socialist aristocrat.
"Uncle, will you not go back to Qing'an Mansion from now on?" Lao Fang asked with a confused look on his face.
Li Yi felt that he had fallen. He was actually wondering if there was a big house for maids and servants in Qing'an Mansion. It seemed that it was really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He hadn't even started to enjoy it yet, and he had forgotten the "hardship" of the past.
Lived.
"It's not too far anyway. If your mother-in-law agrees, you and she can come to Kyoto with Zhu Zhu. If Lao Xu and the others are willing to come, you can come together. There will always be a place for you here." Let's learn from the most difficult days together.
We have come here, experienced life and death together, and the group of people far away in Qing'an Mansion are actually the most trustworthy people.
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow!" Lao Fang was obviously waiting for Li Yi's words and said with a pat on the thigh.
After going through so many things, I am accustomed to regard Li Yi as my backbone. My uncle and my lady are both in the capital. There is no point in them staying in Qing'an Mansion. Those guys are not peaceful at heart. Following my uncle will be exciting.
Things to do...——
In just half a day, all the servants in the Li Mansion had a thorough understanding of the situation in the manor, and at the same time they breathed a long sigh of relief.
The lord and lady were both very good-tempered and never said a harsh word to them. The second young lady seemed cold and hard to get along with, but a maid accidentally tipped over the basin and got her wet.
The second lady didn't say a word of punishment.
In addition, the madam's personal maid is very favored, and she is like another master of the family, but you must not look at her as a human being.
Everyone was thankful for their luck in their hearts. They no longer had to worry about filling the pond and well in the future.
Miss Liu Er went back to her room with an angry look on her face because Li Yi kicked her out of the yard in the name of going to bed early.
"We haven't seen each other for half a month, what's there to talk about?" Li Yi curled his lips, closed the courtyard door, and walked into the room.
Ruyi stood by the bed and tidied the bedding, looked back, and quickly turned back again. A soft voice came over: "When I came to the capital, I thought I would go back soon, and I didn't bring anything with me. If we come to the capital in the future,
If you want to live in the capital, I'm afraid you'll have to go back as soon as possible and bring all your important belongings, at least all your money from home."
Li Yi walked over slowly and hugged her from behind. Ruyi's hand paused, and a red cloud immediately rose on her pretty face.
"Mr. Sir..." Her breathing was slightly rapid and her voice was inaudible.
"What the lady said before, it still counts..." Li Yi whispered in her ear.
Of course she knew what Li Yi was referring to. She turned around slowly, lowering her head half as much as Li Yi, her face even scarier. She looked up into his eyes and nodded slightly.
Li Yi looked down at this face with no flaws. This was his wife, the one he was destined to spend the rest of his life with. He took a deep breath, pressed a little harder, hugged her tightly, and pressed his lips against her smooth face.
On Jade's forehead.
Then the eyes, nose, lips...
In the room, the candlelight swayed, facing a wind blowing from nowhere. The fire flickered for a few times and then went out quietly.
The beautiful woman lowers her head shyly, the talented man raises his eyebrows and smiles, the love in the room cannot be described.
