Chapter 22 Finally figured out everything in the mansion

I can't ask anything even if I know.

Li Yu no longer makes things difficult for Hou Sanlang.

After struggling for several hours, I was tired and started yawning constantly.

The maid sitting behind her, seeing the head of the family yawning constantly, asked in a low voice: "Is your husband going to bed?"

Li Yu nodded when he heard this and said to everyone: "Okay, I am going to the inner house. Hou San, please remember to let some blacksmiths come to the village tomorrow!"

After saying that, he didn't care about everyone and got up and left. The maids behind him came to support him quickly. Hou San replied: "Don't worry, my husband, the villain will send someone to spread the word tonight."

Li Yu nodded and walked, walking towards the backyard without looking back.

Four maids accompanied the head of the family and walked into the second door. One maid went to the door.

Li Yu remembered that the beautiful Situ lived in the backyard in the west. Before she could go to her house, she said to the people around her: "Let's go, let's go see Sister Situ,"

Everyone promised that the two led the way in front and the two followed behind. On the way, several maids kept reminding that it was already dark and they couldn't see the road clearly, so they asked Li Yu to walk carefully. Don't fall,

The little man just came back from Qinling and recovered from his injury. If he fell again, who could take it? Twenty yards were enough to beat a woman to the underworld.

So a few maids were cautious, especially the two behind them, who almost held Li Yu walking with one hand and the other with a lamp.

After passing through the small gate and entering the side courtyard of Situ Yunsha, he heard the voices of Situ and Ningcui coming from a bright room.

Without waiting for everyone to help, Li Yu walked in quickly and several maids followed closely.

Situ was in a very good mood today and had not been sleeping for the time being. Ningcui and Taohong accompanied him to say something about his body and soul.

Suddenly, I saw Li Yu entering the door, and was quite surprised, but I stood up to greet him, bowed and sat down,

Li Yu lay down next to Situ, still in the same old scoundrel position, but this time he rested his head on Situ's legs, Situ Yunsha gently stroked Li Yu's hair: "Didn't the husband ask in front of you? How could he remember that he came to me?"

Li Yu replied: "I asked some craftsmen who could make irons to come to the mansion on the Sanming day and asked them to do something for a certain family. Because they needed to buy some iron ingots, they came to my sister's place.

Hou San said that it was the money matter under his charge of his sister, so he came to inform him and paid them some money tomorrow so that they could go out to buy and buy things."

After hearing this, Situ Yunsha directly told Ning Cui: "Cui'er, when you get up tomorrow morning, you can tell the accountant that the husband wants to buy iron ingots and use some silver money."

Ning Cui next to him said, "I wish you, how much does it cost?"

Situ knew that Li Yu was asking for nothing, so he said, "I will spend fifty stakes first. If it is not enough, I will let someone come back and get it."

Li Yu has no specific concept of purchasing power here, and he doesn't know how much you can buy fifty knots, but it should be enough to make dozens of iron pots.

The Tang Dynasty always weighed more than six kilograms, and the output of copper was low, so the price was higher than that of iron. That is to say, a kilogram of copper coins is worth one hundred and sixty cents, or a finished product, and an iron ingot is only about a hundred cents per kilogram.

The purchasing power of fifty knots is not just about buying dozens of iron pots! I am afraid that it will not be able to make hundreds of iron pots when I buy back a few hundred kilograms of iron.

Situ Yunsha said to Taohong again: "Taohong, you can go to Uncle Liu's house in the outer courtyard and say that the husband will buy iron ingots tomorrow.

Please arrange some guards. Fifty knots are not a decisive amount. It’s better to be cautious, go there.”

After Taohong agreed, she stood up and left.

Situ asked, "Do you have something to explain?"

Li Yu shook his head, pointed to the maid who was leaning against someone's arms in the main hall and said, "What's your name?"

When the maid heard the inquiry, she stood up and said, "Reply to your husband, my maid's surname is Lin, and her name is Rong Niang."

"You go and tell me that Hou San will free up a secluded yard behind the west wing of the intermediate courtyard, which I will use to make a blacksmith.

Remember to have a quiet yard. Let him make arrangements as soon as possible and do not delay major events.

By the way, you have to hurry up on the carpenter's business. It is best to look for it tonight. When tomorrow comes, a certain family will see a carpenter and a blacksmith."

"No, I will go there immediately."

After Rong Niang finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left.

Before sitting in Situ for a while, Li Yu was so sleepy that he was so sleepy that he turned on the lamp and sent him back to his house.

Wang Kexin was on duty tonight and was vigilant, so she had been waiting in the house for a long time. Seeing him shaking and shaking when he returned to the house, he was obviously already trapped.

Qiuju quickly went over to help her back and sent a few maids to get foot wash.

He helped Li Yu to the bed, and Wang Kexin was also exhausted and panting. The three girls coaxed and held Li Yu and took off Li Yu's clothes. Li Yu said in a daze: "Sister Kexin, take a break quickly, this man is so sleepy,"

Even though he had already been with seven or eight night shifts, Wang Kexin was still ashamed, her face was flushed and she just nodded gently.

Xia Zhu and Qiu Ju had just finished working, Li Yu continued to serve his wife, remove the hairpin and decorations on her head, take off her middle clothes and lay down next to the head of the family.

The reason is nothing else. Li Yu has to hug someone when he sleeps. Recently, Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha have figured out his habits.

As soon as he lay down, the two maids brought the foot wash water, "Madam, the water has been prepared."

Qiuju quickly raised her finger and placed it beside her mouth, signaling the two of them to speak in a low voice.

Wang Kexin had just lying down, and raised her head and whispered, "Why are there such no rules?"

Wang Kexin came from the prefect's mansion, which was very strict. The family rules were very strict. Now that the head of the family has lie down, the little girl is still so reckless, and she can't help but scold her in a low voice without caring about it.

Seeing that his wife was angry, Xia Zhu quickly whispered: "In the future, when he saw the husband lying down, he would just bow when he came in, don't say anything."

The two women did not dare to say anything, put down the wooden basin, bowed and stood aside.

He was not afraid of Xia Zhu's scolding. Everyone knows that the two ladies were not really first-class maids, and they would take concubines and take houses in the future.

After taking a concubine, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Ning Cui, and Tao Hong are the real first-class maids.

Xia Zhu is not only the best-educated among the four, she is smart and smart, but also the closest to these servants. She scolds them and teaches them the rules. She is not really annoyed.

Therefore, no one has ever held grudges. Instead, they like to learn rules from Xia Zhu.

Sure enough, Xia Zhu waved his hand and called the two maids to come over and teach them to serve the head of the family to wash their feet. The two maids picked up cloth towels from the basin, calmed down and imitated Xia Zhu's appearance and wiped Li Yu's feet. In the end, they were still in a hurry.

He woke Li Yu up again, sat up and rubbed his eyes, and said to the two girls: "You guys are so itchy. How can you sleep?"

Wang Kexin also sat up. This time Wang Kexin was really angry. These two girls were so fucked. They stared at each other and were about to get angry.

Li Yu rubbed his eyes and said to Xia Zhu: "Ah Zhu, I am so thirsty, let me get some tea."

Seeing that the two maids were still afraid of disturbing the husband, Wang Kexin, who wanted to make a furious voice lowered her voice again: "What are you doing here?"

Xia Zhu hurriedly took command of the two girls to make tea.

There is a kitchen in the wing room in the backyard, and the two girls took the opportunity to retreat and went to the kitchen to cook tea.

Since the young man woke up again, Wang Kexin sat upright and accompanied him. Li Yu was waiting for the time of drinking tea, so he chatted with him. After thinking about it, he said, "Wou Sanlang said, do we have five farms? He also said there are more than 1,700 households?"

As he said that, he leaned against Wang Kexin again, and hugged Wang Kexin with two hands.

Wang Kexin replied casually: "Well, Mr. Lang said it well. Our five villages have a total of 1,736 households, occupying a small half of the population in Lantian County. The specific geometry can only be explained clearly after I take the book tomorrow.

Here, there are thirty-nine houses like Uncle Liu. All the thirty-nine houses that came back alive were placed in the courtyard in front. Uncle Liu's house occupied two courtyards behind the east wing, and more than 100 families who died in the battlefield, just outside the mansion,

Alang (the old master) felt sorry for them, so he surrounded our mansion, built a house, placed them down, and was convenient for care, so he became our current Lijiazhuang.

The remaining four villages, at the foot of Qinling Mountains more than ten miles east, is Tianjia Village where Langjun went to visit. On the west side is Xiaowangzhuang, Dawangzhuang at the back, and Liujia Village at the front, a total of four villages.

It surrounds our Lijiazhuang and is divided into southeast, west and north to guard the palace. Behind the mansion is the granary of the mansion, and the front and back are the residences of the mansion’s children and slaves.”

"When I accompany my husband to the village tomorrow, everything will be known. By the way, I will also see everyone. The husband has not been out for a long time and it is time to inspect it.

When Ah Lang was there, he would walk several times on the village every month, and he would go to four villages outside every year, checking them two or three times, regardless of wind and rain.

Now that the corn is harvesting, the husband is also on patrol and the husband is also on patrol and the farmers in various villages and the 300 fiefs of the fief are coming to pay the rent, and the husband should also take charge of the situation in person.

The first time my husband did this kind of thing, I should serve the girl and Situ girl by my side, and Uncle Liu will take care of her diligently, so she will not make any mistakes. My husband can rest assured."

"Oh, that's so good,"

While dealing with it randomly, Li Yu was already aware of everything about the entire county men's palace. It turned out that the mansion was divided into several factions.

Situ and Wang Kexin combined into a faction, and the people who retired from the ranks were another faction.

Refugees and refugees are sent again.

The original family of the mansion had children and slaves, and they were in charge of the kitchen and granary.

When the two women are in the future, the ranks and refugees will have children and slaves, and the three families will jointly control everything in the mansion.

After Wang Kexin came, she slowly took over the affairs of the mansion, but she was alone and weak. Later, when Situ Yunsha came, the two women were scholars, so they naturally appreciated each other and got together. So the two families joined forces to slowly control everything in the mansion.

Although the four factions in the mansion were all peaceful, they were all saved by the old master and had received the favor of the old master to varying degrees. Without the old master, it can be said that there would be no peaceful living environment for these people. Everyone was grateful to the old master, so naturally they would not be intrigue and fight against each other like other high-ranking families.

Besides, the old lord traveled all his life, his eyes were so vicious that he would never save him if he was not the kind person.

In a word, the group of people the old marquis made depends on their character but not their ability. As long as you have good character and know how to be grateful, I will rescue you when I meet them.

On the contrary, if you have poor character, you will die on the roadside and don’t look at you. Although there are four forces in the mansion, you can still be at peace.

Of course, the reason why people from the ranks do not compete for power is that most of them are upright and have strong temperaments. They can protect the home and protect the safety of the head of the family, but in other aspects, they cannot do so.

The refugee and refugee faction have no choice but to fight for it. They have no knowledge. Most of them don’t know how to read and can only do some laundry, cooking, and fetch water to serve people. Even if they hand over the big things to them, they are still helpless.

Since the two women entered the mansion, they have not deducted money. They have been lenient to their servants every month and never scolded them easily. Gradually, the refugee and refugee sects no longer have the fantasies of being confused, and they have performed their duties peacefully and followed the steps.

As a result, the situation was today. The two girls did not disappoint the old master's expectations and took care of a huge mansion in an orderly manner. No one was disbelief.

Thinking of the layout in the village, Lao Li couldn't help but sigh that the father in this life was really a wise man. He gave birth to a slave and arranged to guard the kitchen and granary. In this way, he would not be afraid of being poisoned, and he would ensure that the most trusted people would protect the most important materials and food.
