17. Chapter 17
The two maids are both fifteen or sixteen, like budding flowers, wearing the uniform suit of the maid in the house, and the hair bun is just a head flower that is simply saved with two pearls, and when she smiles slightly, she has a feeling of "lotus jade dew leaves are shy".
"Slave Yuqiong. β
"Slave Jade Ring. β
"Meet my master. The two of them voiced like kingfishers, and they saluted tacitly, and when they lowered their heads, the inch-green collar lined with the snow-white neck skin, which made people think more and more of the green in summer and the lotus in the lake.
"Hmm. Li Zhe nodded casually, from the plot, he already knew that this kind of maid given by the elders was indispensable, not to mention what the establishment around him should be, only when there were many masters, there would be such restrictions to restrain them, so as not to overburden the family.
But does the princess's mansion need this?
Not to mention how the eldest princess's dowry was ten miles of red makeup, even the shops and granges that have been operating over the years have also had surplus income, and it is natural that the industry will increase.
It is Li Zhe himself, since he has the title of Duke of Yasukuni, he can not only get a share of Lu rice from the white-collar workers of the imperial court, but also enjoy all the output of the fiefdom Yasukuni, and that Yasukuni occupies a large area, although it is far away, the annual income can only be converted into numbers on a blank sheet of paper, lying quietly in his imperial mansion in Yasukuni, but all the money is real and can really be obtained.
In this way, year after year, the people who are at the top of the Golden Mountain will only watch this Golden Mountain gradually spread and encroach on the next place, and there will be no more worries about the day when the mountain is empty.
This is also why the original owner was able to open the "Three Thousand Harem" without any burden, his power may not be as good as the emperor, but when it comes to wealth, the emperor's uncle, who is worried about the country and the people, always has to help the famine, and may not have more cash than him.
Of course, some of his wealth is the inheritance left by the father of the family, but compared to the huge assets of him and the princess, the inheritance that is enough for the expenses of the noble family is a little inadequate.
Such a position of power and wealth, of course, determines that his life must be of high quality, food and fun, and even the people who serve him are carefully selected, and he dare not say that he is compared with the emperor's draft, but ordinary people can't help but be so picky.
The quality has gone up, and the number of people is also a lot, not counting the people in the shops on the Zhuangzi, there are no less than 1,000 people waiting in this house alone, from the personal grandmother and maid around the master, to the second and third class below, and then the place where the master can't see, the housekeeper of this garden and that garden, as well as a cadre under the housekeeper, etc., the cooks and maids of all kinds of small kitchens, and the subordinates of various types of work.
For example, there are more than 200 gardeners in the house, and the division of labor is refined, serving precious flowers, gardening plants, and warming flowers...... After all the points, there must be a few more stewards.
In this way, Li Zhe did not calculate carefully, but secretly estimated based on what he saw, he only saw twenty or thirty people every day, but he was afraid that there would be more than a few hundred people serving him as a master, so it was really not uncommon to have one or two more maids around him.
In addition to thinking about the names of these two maids for a while, it is about the taste of the princess, Li Zhe didn't look at it anymore, and the beautiful maids were all like that, he didn't want to be a seed or a horse, and finally died in the house fight like the original owner, so it was better to keep a distance from these cannibals.
lest you meet someone you really like in the future, and you won't be able to tell a true heart no matter how you dissect it. Li Zhe thinks that he is not so abusive, and he doesn't think that some things are particularly inseparable, maybe this is a little cold, but it's not good to be yourself as you like.
With money and leisure, Li Zhe decided to do something he liked, such as appreciating those works of art and cultivating his artistic sentiments.
Li Zhe originally felt that he was a person with no artistic cells, the world's famous paintings looked like a woman laughing, and the woman was too fat, not in line with his aesthetics, the porcelain that was often auctioned for tens of millions of dollars, in his opinion, in addition to being good-looking, it was only smooth or praiseworthy, as for the rest, cups, plates, plates, plates, and plates, looking at it, can you eat enough?
After crossing over, the first life was in ancient times, but it gave him a training environment, but unfortunately he was busy with scientific research at the beginning, and then he thought about changing his fate, thinking about doing something for the people, and when he was old, he could cultivate and cultivate, and he couldn't pull his face to learn.
The next thing is the previous life, needless to say, there is no time and environment for cultivation, so although he feels that he is still more appreciative of it, he is really a layman on this road, at best, it is Cheng DΓΉ who joins in the fun to see the treasure, and finally marvels at the value.
Now this opportunity is good, the original owner is not unlearned, maybe it is said that he always has one or two skills to press the bottom of the box, and his appreciation of this aspect is very good.
Li Zhe, who has crossed over, has also inherited some of his abilities in this area, and some knowledge is like being imprinted in his brain, allowing him to truly experience for the first time what the golden finger given by the system is.
I don't know if it's because of the benefits he only had during the internship period, or because the first two have a lot of brains and really don't have anything, so I found out here that there are such benefits.
Li Zhe didn't want to delve into it, it didn't make any sense, anyway, he was so happy about it that he plunged headlong into the ocean of art.
The original owner has not shown much "badness" at this time, at best he is a little arrogant and willful, and it seems that he is still a little domineering, and he does not allow others to say "no" to him, and with his identity, there are very few who dare to refuse him.
When I was young, there were still a few grandmothers who watched, but when the original owner was older, because he didn't like the control of his grandmothers, and he disliked their old age and was not good-looking, they were all replaced by young and beautiful maids, and the oldest maid who served around him was not more than eighteen years old, and in this case, no one dared to lecture him again.
In this way, it is convenient for Li Zhe, he can let go of his temperament and do whatever he wants.
The excessive freedom made Li Zhe think about it for a while, and found that he didn't actually have any big goals and plans, so he simply came by preference.
For his new hobby, the eldest princess is happy to see it, gold, stone and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, picking up treasures and genuine items box by box like flowing water.
Although he knows that he is rich, Li Zhe is still a little flattered when he really touches these things worth ten thousand gold, even if he was a big official in his previous life and has seen a lot, but some things have never been seen, after all, the real good things are in the royal family, and outsiders can't even see it, let alone touch it.
Now that I feel it, I understand why someone describes porcelain as "girl's skin" so obscenely, and that kind of luster and feel is probably not comparable to the best skin.
With the knowledge in his mind as an aid, and then looking at these treasures, Li Zhe only felt that the feeling was completely different, a little like the sudden realization of reading a book for the first time to understand the truth, it used to be "knowing what it is", and now it is "knowing why it is", the sense of superiority brought by that kind of knowledge is simply sinking.
With the harvest, it is natural that she can't stop anymore, seeing that Li Zhe's hobby has not changed for three days, the eldest princess is quite pleased, sure enough, the child will be sensible when he is older, this hobby is very good and worth cultivating.
On the fourth day, the eldest princess took Li Zhe into the palace.
The queen mother in the palace is alive, there is a secret method in the palace to maintain, although she can't cover the gray hair, but her complexion is really not like the elderly, and the eldest princess who is almost thirty is also like a twenty-eight girl, who is coquettish and obedient beside the queen mother, and it is not a problem to compete for favor with her son.
As a second-year teenager, the original owner has long stopped doing coquettish and cute things, Li Zhe is as good as a stream, he is very calm and very humane, and after saluting, he retired under the praise of the queen and a group of concubines, and went to find Princess Chaoyang.
During this time period, Princess Chaoyang is still a carefree girl, quiet and elegant, with a ladylike character, but she has more natural dignity than those girls, plus she is very handy, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the proud daughter of the sky.
No one would have thought that just after the autumn, after Qionglin feasted with the young Tanhualang, Princess Chaoyang had the heart of her daughter's family, and she was dyed with melancholy because of the marriage later.
The original owner often followed the eldest princess into the palace, followed by a familiar little eunuch and went directly to Princess Chaoyang, regardless of whether that place was the harem or not, there was no place in the palace that he couldn't go, and he was very wanton.
It was because of this wanton that Li Zhe later had a young concubine of the emperor's uncle outside Li Zhe's backyard, and after the private meeting between the two was exposed, the emperor forbearance of family affection, concealed the matter, and found another reason to kill the concubine. The original owner didn't have anything, he didn't even have to worry, and he got the beauty of the emperor's uncle's new reward in vain.
Recalling this plot, Li Zhe first shook his head for the absurdity of the original owner, but the next moment, he paused and took another step before the little eunuch noticed, but the ease on his face was gone, and his calm appearance was quite not angry, so that the little eunuch who was smiling did not dare to breathe, and secretly sighed that he was a natural relative of the emperor, and this power was really scary.
