Chapter 51: The Quality of the Maid
Soon after Li Qianqian left, Li Shu ushered in a group of black-clothed people here, the leading man was handsome and not inferior to Xue Muhua, Li Shu did not entertain guests in the courtyard, but invited people into the hall, the black-clothed people stood in a circle around the house, the four elders were with Li Shu, and the first one was busy making tea and entertaining guests.

I don't know what they said, in short, when they left, the sun was about to set! The sunset was red like fire, and when the tired birds returned to their nests, Li Qianqian and Lan Tang had already woken up, stayed by Lan Hai's side, and finished their homework, and Lan Hai asked them to come out and call people to prepare water for them to bathe.
As soon as Li Qianqian came out, he saw Jin Yi tired like a dog, resting on the table next to the door.
"Sincerely. Li Qianqian originally called him Uncle Jinyi, but he scared Jinyi half to death, and finally only called him by his name.
"Little master, why did you come out?"
As soon as I raised my head, I stretched out my hand and wiped my face, it seems that I still have to find a few maids to wait, otherwise I won't have any momentum when I go out!
The sect leader was also surrounded by servants when he was a child, and only Lan Tang was accompanied by the little master, which is really not like words, and Lan Tang is not a maid!
No matter how capable he is, it is not easy for him to wait for a little girl closely! If the little girl has a mother, this kind of thing will naturally have her mother to worry about, but her mother has passed away, and her father has not heard from her for many years.
I'm sorry! When you meet the head of his family, you should ask for more blessings for yourself! After thinking about it, I finally thought of it, and there is! When the time comes, I will ask the four elders and wives to work hard, and choose a few maids and servants to serve the little master! Well, it is best to choose all the maids and servants of Lantang.
Li Qianqian didn't know what Jin Yi was thinking, seeing that his face was bright and cloudy, he exchanged glances with Lan Tang, Jin Yi was probably tired and sick, look, his face was not normal!
As soon as I learned that they had come out to call for water, I asked them to go back to their rooms and find someone to bring hot water to them.
In the hall, the four elders asked Li Shu with a heavy face, "Do we really want to connect with the imperial court?"
"Who let the Great Elder think that he was smart, and he was afraid that no one would come to the disciple collection meeting, so he let out a rumor, saying that the Ruiyao Sect has the treasure of the previous dynasty, and the husband is not guilty of it, and the one in the palace is short of money! ”
The four elders said in a deep voice unhappily, "Even if there is, it is left by your ancestors, and it can't be given to the emperor of Southern Chu." ”
Li Shu smiled silently.
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth. The four elders said with a straight face, and Li Shu nodded with interest when he saw this, "I know, but you also know, there is no treasure in our sect at all, otherwise why would the four elders work hard to manage the business, isn't it just because we have no money?"
Hehehe, the dignified Rui Yao Sect leader said that he had no money, and if he wanted to spread it, he was afraid that he would be shot to death by people who were jealous and hateful! Not to mention those small sects that didn't even have a place to stand on the cone, if Li Shu said such a thing, I was afraid that he would be killed in the middle of the night!
"I'm making hard-earned money, but they're not. The four elders snorted coldly, whether the founding sect leader has passed on the treasure, their four elders don't know, but they have all heard the elders in the family talk about it, their elders once said that the virtuous prince loved Li Dingping very much back then, and seemed to think that this son was very idealistic and ambitious, not a gentleman, plus there was a prince and the princess to help say good things, so he was very supportive of his son's founding of the Ruiyao Sect, didn't he see that he gave his own territory, the most beautiful and best Ruiyao City to his son as a base?
After the fall of Prince Xian's lineage, the property found by the Imperial Forest Army, who was in charge of raiding the family, did not match the property that was archived when Prince Xian took office, and what about the dowry of the crown princess and the princess?
Therefore, there are rumors that Prince Xian has long known that his stepmother and son will take action against him, and he transferred his property early, even the dowry of his wife and eldest daughter-in-law was also transferred, but he couldn't find out his whereabouts, so some people speculated that Prince Xian transferred all these properties to Li Dingping.
Although the four elders founded the Ruiyao Sect together with Li Dingping, strictly speaking, they are all Li Dingping's followers, the first Great Elder has been waiting for Li Dingping since he was a child, and he was extremely loyal to him, and was given the surname by Li Dingping, but his son was not willing to be inferior, and after taking over the position of the Great Elder, he actively sought to restore the original surname Han.
The second elder ancestor is Li Dingping's personal guard, the first three elders were the princess's dowry maid, and after getting married, he returned to the princess as a housekeeper daughter-in-law, after Li Dingping was born, she was responsible for taking care of his yard, the ancestor of the four elders was originally the wise prince to take care of the grange, after Li Dingping founded the church, in order to relieve the problem of the people's food, he bought a lot of farmland and Zhuangzi, but he did not have this talent at hand, the wise prince in order to solve his son's dilemma, he sent this henchman.
If Li Dingping really got a large amount of property from his Lao Tzu, it was also the private property that Lao Tzu gave to his son, what kind of treasure did it say, it seemed to be some ownerless treasure, which was discovered by Prince Xian, and then passed on to his son!
Even if Prince Xian really found any treasure, he passed it on to his son, as long as the eldest son had no opinion, who was qualified to say anything?
The first four elders did not dare to delve into this matter because they were equal to the status of domestic slaves, and the master did not let you know, so you don't need to know, they all guarded the line and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. However, with the passage of time, after the first elders passed away one after another, as the successors came to power, the division between master and servant gradually became blurred, especially after the death of the old sect leader, the successor sect leader Li Shu was too young, and the great elder relied on the old and sold the old, which was very suspected of being a slave and a bully.
It's just that Li Shu is not a lord who can be oppressed by others, and it seems not surprising that the Great Elder has been fighting openly and secretly with him for so many years, and it will be rumored that the Rui Yao Sect has treasures this year!
The head of the man in black is the young general Qi Zhiping, who has recently been relied on by the Emperor Chengping of Southern Chu, whose ancestor Qi Cidong has a unique vision, invested in the Southern Chu Ji family, after Ji ascended the throne, he was named the prince of Zhenguo, Qi Cidong has no son-in-law, and the concubine Qi Yingjia should be the lord of the country, and soon after Qi Yingjiazi should be the king of the country, he was demoted because of the loss of honor in front of the emperor, and the current marquis of the town is Qi Anhe, the eldest son of Qi Dingguo.
Qi An and his wife were good at giving birth to three sons in a row, but before she gave birth to her eldest son, her husband, a maid who had been waiting since childhood, spread the good news one step ahead of her, and since then she has been holding her breath, and when the maid was about to give birth, she was in a hurry to get the fetal gas.
The two children were born on the front and back feet, and Mrs. Qi's mother's family relied on the convenience of Mrs. Qi in the inner courtyard to exchange the birth time of her concubine Qi Zhiping with that of her sister-in-law Qi Zhihai, anyway, they were born in the same day, and if their own grandson was the eldest son, it would be beneficial to their daughter! So Mrs. Qi's mother-in-law and sister-in-law did so.
When choosing a name, I didn't forget to press the concubine.
Qi Zhiping has been very mediocre since he was a child, and he can't do anything, and after Mrs. Qi gave birth to Qi Zhihai, it was like opening the second line of Ren Du, and gave birth to two sons Qi Zhihe and Qi Zhichuan one after another.
There are three grandchildren, and the grandchildren are dispensable.
Therefore, Qi Zhiping has always performed mediocre, not too outstanding, until the year before last, he followed the emperor's autumn hunting, blocked an arrow for the emperor, and after recovering from his injuries, he was appointed by the emperor to become a close guard to protect the emperor closely. The Marquis of Zhenguo realized that this son was not only excellent in martial arts, but also good in writing, and Mrs. Qi was even more suffocating, how could he let him sit so big!
But it's too late to regret it!
Qi Zhiping will appear here, except for coming on the emperor's orders, who else can make him move?
"You deal with him like this, aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts in the future?"
Li Shu smiled, "He is a man, he is a man of his word, and he will not make a self-destructive promise." ”
"That's hard to say, it's better to be on guard, after all, you don't want to clash head-on with the royal family, do you?"
"How do you talk about this?"
The Fourth Elder laughed, "Who asked the Great Elder to bring Qi Zhiping here?" ”
Li Shu shook his head, "By the way, you first ask someone to send a message back, and when I get to you, I want to officially accept the apprentice." ”
"When you were at the main altar before, why didn't you let the Great Elder do it?"
"It's me who accepts apprentices, not the Great Elder, besides, what do you think the old puppet would do if he knew that the girl was going to formally apprentice at the main altar?"
The Great Elder is bent on letting his great-grandson worship under the sect master, if Li Shu accepts Li Qianqian as a disciple at the main altar, the Great Elder will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, whether Li Qianqian's life can be guaranteed or not, Li Shu is likely to be forced to accept Han Yutang as a disciple.
"Got it, I'll let people go back and prepare. After a pause, he asked, "How are you going to reply to Qi Zhiping's question?"
"How else can you reply?" Li Shu smiled, "There is no one thing to ask for money, it's as simple as that, the dignified royal family wants to forcibly seize the property of the people so that it can be used by the emperor?
Do you need to talk about that?
The fourth elder got up with a smile, "Okay, it's good that you know it in your heart." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out to run errands.
As soon as I followed, I mentioned to the four elders that I would ask the four elders to choose some suitable maids and servants for the little master and Lan Tang.
The fourth elder patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "It's really hard for you! It's hard for you and Lan Hai to be a father and a mother." ”
The big and small affairs of the little master are all worried about by the two big men, how can they not make the four elders tears of sympathy!
I smiled bitterly, "Remember to tell the fourth elder lady that the little master and Lan Tang are both lively personalities, don't give those maids and servants who care about any rules." ”
Jin Yi has seen Li Jingjing's maid with a cheap mouth, bullying Li Qianqian, and annoying people with one rule. He didn't want to find such maids and servants for Li Qianqian.
