Chapter 437;(1/2)
Chapter 437: Qiao Tanchun is indulging in favor of her, and she is very careful in her affairs.
Qin Qiong got up early in the morning and gathered all the officials in the mansion in the main hall in the front yard. He carefully explained to the servants in the mansion to cheer up today.
There must be no sloppy points. We must pay attention to etiquette and law everywhere and follow the rules of our ancestors. We must never let the nobles of the three families who inherited the knowledge of Confucius. We underestimate the descendants of the Qin family who do not understand etiquette.
After carefully explaining it two or three times, Qin Qiong left home with confidence and went to the camp outside the city to serve in the camp. In Li Yu's yard, he no longer asked about Li Yu's trivial matters for a long time. Lin Rongniang, the chief manager of the inner house, came to Li Yu's house early.
The servants who had already gotten up to clean the courtyard along the way, when they saw Rong Niang walking with her personal maid, they bent down to salute;
"I've met Manager Lin!"
"I've seen a big manager!"
Rong Niang responded with a gentle smile all the way;
"Everyone is free from gifts, everyone should cheer up. Today is different from the past. The most noble and noble family surnames under the saints come to visit our house.
You all keep the rules in your heart and do it. Don’t forget anything, but don’t wait until the family rules fall on you before you remember your mistakes.”
"Yes, the big manager."
"promise."
Rong Niang was very satisfied with the energetic answer from the people. She nodded and came to Li Yu's yard. Tanchun came out and caught her. She lowered her head with guilt.
Since Rong Niang became a big manager, she no longer cared about Li Yu’s seven personal maids, and she has become a little loose. Especially Tanchun has become much lazy due to Li Yu’s favor. How can she not be guilty when she sees her boss coming?
"I have seen a great manager, and I will be blessed with it."
"Where is the husband? Can you get up?"
"If you go back to the manager,... the husband is still resting and has not gotten up."
Lin Rongniang frowned slightly and spoke with an unhappy expression;
"It doesn't matter how hard you sleep, but today it's not possible. The next head of the Duanmu family has arrived, and there are descendants of Confucius and descendants of Yanmen come to accompany you. The eldest son of the Cheng family is the most down-to-earth and cautious. I'm afraid that they will come in a while. It's already the second time, and the husband hasn't gotten up yet. What's the saying about this?"
When Tanchun heard the inquiry, he lowered his head a little longer, and the voices were almost gone;
"I am wrong. Please punish the great manager. I have just called me once. Langjun... Langjun wants to sleep for a while, I..."
Before Tanchun could finish his speech, Rong Niang continued to ask questions;
"Who was on duty in Langjun's house last night?"
"If you go back to the great manager, you are a servant. I took two third-class maids to serve on duty last night."
Rong Niang looked at Tanchun twice, and her voice was inevitably a little angry;
"You look at the bronze mirror yourself, your hair is scattered, your silver hairpin is wrinkled, and your clothes are not tidy. How can you just receive the saint's subordinates? Why don't you go back to your house and clean up carefully? When will you wait?"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
"Go quickly."
"promise."
Tanchun agreed and quickly trotted away from the main hall. Her heart was warm. The Lin sister was from a close-fitting eight-girlfriend and treated herself very generously. If it were the former manager who had encountered her disheveled clothes, today would probably be a good time to be punished.
Rong Niang walked straight into Li Yu's house with a dark face. The maids who were serving were already getting up. When she saw Manager Lin coming in with a dark face, she quickly lowered her head.
Rong Niang glanced at the room, and seven or eight maids stood against the wall, with clear water, cloth towels, etc. all in one go. Then she felt relieved and looked at the couch, and the husband faced inside and hid in the bedding.
Rong Niang was just in front of the couch and gave a meticulous manner;
"I pay my respects to you, and your husband will be blessed with all his blessings."
He looked at the couch without any response. He straightened his body, sat next to the couch, lay on Li Yu and spoke quietly;
"Mr. It's been two hours since Chen Shi. I don't dare to sleep for a long time today. It's time for you to get up. The eldest son of the Cheng family may be here in a while."
Li Yu turned over in a daze and hugged Rong Niang's neck;
"Oh, tell me to sleep for a while!"
Rong Niang lay down next to her. The two maids close to the room were about to come to serve him. Rong Niang's close body Xiaoyu bent down quickly and took off her two embroidered shoes for Rong Niang.
Rong Niang put her feet on her back, half lying beside Li Yu, and responded in a low voice;
"Langjun, we can't sleep anymore. When we entertain guests today, you can sleep until you want to."
As Rong Niang spoke, she stretched out her right hand. Xiaoqing, who was close to Rong Niang, took the cloth towel from the maid next to her, wet the warm water, gently twisted the water and handed it to Rong Niang's hand.
Rong Niang took a cloth towel and gently wiped Li Yu's face. Li Yu closed her eyes and put her head in Rong Niang's arms to avoid the cloth towel with water. Rong Niang chased her and leaned back a little, and wiped Li Yu's sleepiness away in just a few seconds. Only then did Li Yu open her eyes;
"My wife got up so early. I heard that yesterday my wife was invited by her eldest brother's concubine, Cui San, to have tea for a long time before she came back. Why don't she sleep more?"
Rong Niang responded while helping Li Yu up and sitting upright;
"If you say that to your husband, I dare not sleep for a long time today. I am still in charge of the backyard. If you have a distinguished guest, I dare not be arrogant. I am worried that you will delay your time, so I want to come and have a look."
"Oh, my wife is really a worry. She is really qualified to do this big manager. However, the big manager of our second house has been passed down from the Liu family for hundreds of years. She can only enjoy it for you, but it is not easy to call you a lifetime."
"It doesn't matter whether I do a big business or not. Just serve my husband by my side. Even if you are a third-class maid, you won't have any complaints."
Li Yu woke up completely and stared at Rong Niang and looked carefully. Rong Niang was still a little girl like that. Li Yu pulled Rong Niang's tenderness;
"My wife doesn't have to worry much. It's impossible to be a third-class maid. The two who serve you are second-class, third-class, so why would you ask you to do third-class?"
Rong Niang nodded with a smile and helped Li Yu stay. Rong Niang did this kind of job as a servant since she was seven years old and was extremely familiar with her.
However, Li Yu took into account Rong Niang's identity and hid without a trace when he sat by the couch. Rong Niang was also a smart man. How could he not understand the care of the husband? He no longer insisted and looked up at the seven or eight third-class maids;
"Serve your husband to get up the bed."
"promise."
A group of third-class maids received the order and immediately surrounded him. Li Yu cooperated to stand up. Rong Niang also had close-fitting Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu, who were serving each other and putting shoes on the same side.
Rong Niang first went out of the main hall and arranged for someone to go to the kitchen to bring breakfast food. She then carefully checked whether the tables, chairs and floors in the main hall were clean. Then she turned around and asked the maids and servants on duty in the room;
"Have you ever had breakfast available?"
One of the second-class maids who led the lead responded;
"If you go back to the great manager, I will not dare to delay after getting up early. I have been cleaning until now. I have just stopped my work and have not had time to eat."
"I'm here to take care of you. You all go and eat. Only when you have enough food can you be strong. Last night, I told the kitchen to make some delicious food for everyone today.
If you don’t care about this moment, you don’t have to hurry back, but you all remember to eat well. Today there are many distinguished guests. Just saying that this station is a job of hard work, you all have a clear idea, but today I will suffer a little."
"No, thank you for your gratitude to the manager. It's all the things that I should do, and there is no complaint."
Rong Niang nodded in satisfaction and said softly;
"Go all, it's still early now. I'll eat it before I'll come back."
"promise."
After Rong Niang had just arranged a group of servants, Li Yu finished washing and dressing up, and came to the main hall to sit down. The servants outside the door came in;
"Greetings to my husband, I will be blessed with Jin'an. I have reported to the Grand Manager Lin, and the meals are ready to be served outside. I would like to ask if the Grand Manager can bring them in."
Rong Niang stood beside Li Yu and gave calm instructions;
"Take it in quickly. The husband can also be more energy to arrange other matters after using breakfast."
"only!"
The visitor from the kitchen agreed to leave, and directed the two servants to come in with food, put it carefully before leaving, waiting outside the door.
Li Yu turned his head and asked Rong's mother who was serving the rice;
"Have you used it?"
Rong's mother, who served the rice, put a large bowl of corn porridge and then stood up and answered;
"Mr. Xie Langjun is worried. I have already used premature food here. Mr. Wang, please use food."
"oh."
Li Yu stopped talking, took an ancient meat patty and started chewing it. After eating a few bites of corn porridge, Li Yu asked;
"Why didn't my wife see Lizhi and Huaidao come today? It's so quiet."
Rong Niang said with a smile;
"Reply to Langjun, when I came just now, I saw the people from my wife's side, and came to invite the little lady and asked the little lady to go to the backyard. The lady felt that the king's affairs were heavy today, so she invited them."
Li Yu nodded while eating and hurriedly ate breakfast. Li Yu was wiping his mouth, and Cheng Chusi's voice came from outside;
"Brother, I'm here for you."
As the personal leader of Li Yu, Rong Niang doesn't need to deliberately avoid it even though she is now a big manager in the inner house.
But Rong Niang had some thoughts in her heart, and she was extremely delicate. She was afraid that she would leave something bad for the future, so she told people that she could tell people all the time, so she hurriedly took two personal maids out of the small door on the other side.
Li Yu quickly got up to greet him. Before he could reach the door, he saw Cheng Chusi walking in neatly. Seeing Li Yu was stunned.
Today's Cheng Chusi is not as casual as usual. He is wearing high-quality silk all over his body. Even the two servants who often follow him are all new clothes from the inside to the outside.
The crown on Cheng Chusi's head was bright and bright. A white jade hairpin was inserted very straight. He also looked lightly made up. The wearer of his waist was a three-foot clear edge, and the red sword spear was mostly more than half a foot. This was an authentic literati dress in important occasions, and it was extremely standard.
Cheng Chusi looked at his brothers blankly at him and asked worriedly;
To be continued...
