[PS: I really don’t dare to write about details like this, so everyone can only make up their own minds. If the book is blocked, it won’t even be short and weak.]
At noon, while the lord and his wife were having dinner, several servants of the Li family gathered together and whispered.
"When Xiao Rong poured tea for Sir Alex this morning, she accidentally knocked over the tea cup. Guess what happened next?" A maid said mysteriously.
"Xiao Rong is so careless. He must have been scolded miserably, and he might even be fined." Another maid curled her lips and said.
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have mentioned it in front of you." The maid who spoke first shook her head and said.
Another maid was startled and said in disbelief: "Did the Lord drive Xiao Rong out of the house?"
"Why did she get kicked out of the house? Not only was the Lord not angry, but he rewarded her with a lot of money and said something about "shattering peace"..." The maid looked envious, wishing that she was the one who broke the tea cup.
"ah?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. How could a servant who did something wrong not be punished but get a reward instead?
If this were the case in another house, and the tea cup was broken in front of the head of the house, he would be scolded at the least, beaten or scolded at the most serious, and both slaps would be light.
"And..." A look of envy appeared on the maid's face again, and she continued: "Xiao Qing was just because the table was polished a little brighter and the floor was swept a little cleaner. The Lord was so happy that he sent her to the house.
The fee has been increased by 50%.”
"Hiss..." Everyone took a breath, with looks of envy on their faces. They were given 50% of the fee on the first day. Why didn't such a good thing happen to them?
At this point, everyone in the Li family understands that their master has a habit of rewarding money when he is happy. It seems that he will behave well in the future, and his future life will suddenly become full of expectations.
"I understand. No wonder Li San just came out with a bunch of vase fragments. It turns out that he already knew about it." A servant in Tsing Yi suddenly realized.
"Li San was also promoted to a higher salary?" Another servant said angrily.
What the hell is this? They work hard, but they don't get rewards. Others who smash tea cups and vases either get silver rewards or extra money. This is too unfair.
Several servants are already thinking in their hearts, if there are any worthless things in the house, why don't they find an opportunity to throw them away, otherwise wouldn't they suffer a lot?
"Money for upgrading?" The well-informed maid shook her head and said: "I heard that Li San was kicked hard by the lord, and he won't be allowed to fill up the two large tanks of water in the house before dark.
Have a meal."
"------" All the servants looked at each other speechlessly. It seems that this method will not work.
By the way, Xiaorong and Xiaoqing are both maids. Is this a special case only for maids in the house?
All the male servants immediately felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts. They couldn't decide this kind of thing themselves!
"What are you all doing here? Have you finished your work?" A voice came from behind. Everyone's expressions changed and they dispersed. In the entire mansion, they were more afraid of Butler Li than the Lord...

Lao Fang and a middle-aged man squatted at the door, each holding a huge sea bowl, eating and chatting happily. Li Yi called twice, but they were not willing to serve, so he just let them go.
went.
The old lady cannot see, and she needs someone to serve her when eating. In this matter, the aunt is not willing to let the maid do it for her. She just sends people to deliver the food to the old lady's room, and she feeds the old lady one bite at a time.
At the dinner table, Li Yi put all the dishes that were out of reach during the Dragon Boat Festival onto the plate in front of her. The little girl was too thin. Now is the time to grow taller, so she should eat more.
"Thank you, brother." It may be the character she has developed since she was a child. She doesn't speak much and always looks timid. Even though things are different now, the habits developed over a long time are not so easy to change.
Sitting on one side of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Huan sat on the other side. The most considerate person was always the little maid. She knew what he liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat. When he was picking up vegetables for the Dragon Boat Festival, he piled up a small mountain in his bowl.
"Okay, okay, that's enough." He stopped the little maid from continuing to put vegetables into her bowl. Although the cook in the house was good at cooking, she still had to eat leisurely.
Miss Liu Er was still a little bit upset about his behavior of forcibly driving people away last night. Several times, she took away the food Li Yi wanted to eat.
I'm in a good mood today and don't plan to argue with her.
She raised her head and looked at Ruyi across from her. A red cloud immediately appeared on her face and she quickly lowered her head. Although they had been married for half a year, they had only been a real couple for a day. She was a bit thin-skinned.
, can understand.
Thinking about it, it's better to have a world of two. In a few days, I will go back to Qing'an Mansion to arrange everything there. It's just him and Ruyi who will go back. Without Miss Liu Er, it will be treated as a honeymoon trip.
, it’s a pleasure to walk around and see.
The scriptures for the old monk are almost finished. When someone is sent to Hanshan Temple in two days, the matter will be settled. I still have to find an opportunity to discuss the business matters with Her Royal Highness in detail. I only rely on the salary from the court.
It's definitely not enough to support the family. This matter involves dozens of people in the Viscount's house, so we can't be careless.
From a family of four to suddenly becoming the owner of such a large Viscount Mansion, the psychological gap is not easy to adapt to. Coupled with the lack of experience and laziness, if there is no butler like Uncle Li to take care of it,
Li Yi really doesn't know how to manage everything.
Not long after dinner, the old lady of the Li family came to the house in person.
Firstly, I wanted to see how my grandson's Viscount Mansion was like. Secondly, I still had a lot to say to my grandson's wife. The two of them were talking in the room, but Li Yi was not allowed to enter.
Later, the old lady saw that there were not many maids and servants in the house, so she insisted on sending some from the Li family, but Li Yi persuaded her to stop her.
There are only a few people in the family, so why do we need so many maids and servants to serve them? It takes up space when they are not used. What's more, these people still need him to pay their wages. The family is still in the stage of development, so save what you can.
Already.
The old lady finally walked into the courtyard where her grandma and her family lived.
When Li Yi walked into the room, he saw her holding her grandma's hand apologetically and saying, "I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years."
If it weren't for the Li family, the He family wouldn't have suffered so hard these years, but if it weren't for the He family, the Li family wouldn't have turned against their good relatives and fallen into such decline.
What happened back then, what was right and what was wrong, is now unclear.
However, even if the Li family is in decline, it is still beyond the reach of the He family, who are just common people. Grandma was a little cautious at first, but then gradually relaxed. When Li Yi walked out of the door,
, they didn’t know what happy things they were talking about, and their laughter could be heard from far away.
