After a while, Liu Bao, the chief manager of the inner courtyard, led a female butler about thirty years old to walk in and salute. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When everyone saw that Liu Bao was coming in person, they all couldn't help but be solemn.

Shen Que smiled and groaned: "Manager Liu doesn't have to be polite. Turning his face and snorting coldly: "Let you go and ask the manager of the Young Cloud Pavilion, how can you bother the chief manager?"

Qiu Ru Nuonuo, at this time, all the stewards of the Dongfu were asking in Liu Bao's house, and she must have gone to call Steward Song to alarm Liu Bao.

Hongzhi served tea to Liu Bao, a thin man in his forties, wearing the same gray cloth gown as the stewards of the house, and only the corners of his shirt were coded with silver-black embroidery thread with the pattern of Tuanyun, making Liu Bao look both cold and noble.

"The third lady has tormented the villain. Liu Bao said respectfully. He glanced at the woman wearing the steward's clothes on the side, and the man stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the third young lady, the slave maid is the steward of the inner courtyard in charge of the Xiaoyun Pavilion, the slave maid is surnamed Song, and the young lady can call the slave and maid Song to manage the matter in the future." ”

"Steward Song. Shen Quehuan smiled quietly and said kindly: "It's not a big deal to invite you here in a hurry at this time, but Yin Nu just discussed the regulations of the house with me, and my mind was in a mess, and I wanted to call the steward to ask, in case I really did something wrong in the future, and the gains outweighed the losses." ”

Yin Nu's face turned green, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, but Shen Qihuan didn't refute it, she clearly mentioned the regulations in the house just now......

Liu Bao frowned, slightly displeased, and said respectfully to Shen Quehuan: "Where did the third lady say, you are the serious master of the house, and if you order it to go down, it will be regulated, besides, all the regulations in the house are also used for the subordinates, and the young lady does not need to bother about this." ”

Shen Qihuan found a lazy posture, leaned back slightly into the couch, and said lightly: "It's better to say that it's better to be ahead, just now Yin Nu said that the subordinate regulations, the house allocated three first-class girls to us, plus a total of twenty-one servants inside and outside, it is already the fullest situation in my courtyard, but is it true?"

Steward Song bowed slightly, and said: "Back to the third miss, only the second miss's Furong Pavilion and the third lady's Xiaoyun Pavilion in our house are the same twenty-one person configuration, because the third miss is a young lady, and the second young lady has the title of a townsman, so there are four more service places than other young ladies' courtyards." Now the young cloud pavilion is indeed full. ”

Shen Qihuan glanced at her, and then asked, "If I want to add more slaves and maids, but I have to pay my own money?"

Steward Song was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "Back to the third miss, according to the rules, the slaves and maids brought back by the third miss from outside the house need to go to the general manager's office for a temporary post, and after a unified discipline and guidance, they can only return to the young lady's courtyard after a few months. When she said this, she was afraid that Shen Qihuan would misunderstand, so she explained: "The first-class maids in our house are all trained by the palace grandmother, and they can assist the master whether they are in the house or outside. ”

"That's right. Shen Qihuan seemed to have been taught, took a sip of tea, and muttered: "Then as long as I make up for the girls around me by myself, they don't have to take up their posts in the house, right?"

Steward Song's face tightened, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Hui, yes." ”

Shen Que smiled: "Then all the minions in this courtyard must be promoted and demoted, appointed and dismissed with your consent?"

"No, no......" Steward Song broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss Hui, this is not necessary, there are new slaves and maids who enter the mansion or are promoted in the year every month, Miss only needs to send someone to the slave and maid on duty to inform you, and the slave and maid will bring the slaves over for you to choose, and you have the final say on who you want or not." ”

Shen Quehuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had a big concern, "In this way, then I will feel at ease." She took Hongzhi's hand and stood up, and swept around the room with her eyes down.

Liu Bao secretly looked at the third young lady, and saw that her indifferent and peaceful but not angry and self-righteous expression was contained in a pair of eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, this third young lady is definitely not a thing in the pool.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Quehuan say to him quietly: "Manager Liu, I don't know what my own authority is in the Hou Mansion, but just now Steward Song also said that I have the right to appoint people for promotion and demotion, so I will inform you a few words." ”

Liu Bao had already bowed down and waited, and saw her salute to herself, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, Miss commands." ”

Shen Quehuan's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, nor hurried, "First, I heard about the incident in the Lion Lake this morning. ”

The first thing she said was that one in the room was counted as one, and all of them pricked up their ears, and their scalps went numb.

"I won't talk about the rules in the Xiaoyun Pavilion, just talk about the Qingyun Hall, that Huinu is the person who my father is serving in front of me, and you are in charge of such a thing, so don't tell me what has been trained by anyone, now I have set a rule here, all the first-class girls in my father's yard must serve in the second-class position for one year, and they can only serve after their father's consent, as for who should serve my father after the Huinu, I will discuss it with Lao An later, her old man will definitely be able to point out a proper person to his father,

The quiet needle drop in the room could be heard, and Chen Nanzhi only knew Shen Qihuan's intentions only now, but she actually put on a subordinate appearance for her, she felt ashamed and ashamed, and it was not as good as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child who had lived for almost forty years in vain.

Shen Qihuan continued: " The second thing, I was born in the country, the girls around me are used to temperament, the red angelica around me and the Lingsong around my father, they don't need to be paid in the house, their example money is free for our father and daughter to weigh, in addition, I only left Qiu Xu for the three first-class girls assigned to the Xiaoyun Pavilion, and the other two asked the Song steward to be assigned to the other courtyard, in addition, only six of the second-class girls and third-class girls remained, and the domestic servants and servants were waiting outside the second gate, and they were also asked to bring back the Song steward, if I used these people in the future, I would go to the Song steward to dispose of them。 ”

Shen Quehuan sank and said, "In addition to these two things, there is another thing I want to remind Steward Song." Shen Qihuan tapped his fingers lightly on the boxwood tea table, and sneered: "Today I heard from Lao An that I want to find a few aunts for my father, and the matter of continuing the string will also be put on the agenda. ”

When Shen Qihuan said this, he suddenly stopped, and looked at Steward Song with a smile in his eyes. Steward Song frowned slightly when he heard this, not knowing what Miss San meant.

Liu Bao was shocked in his heart, and said: "The old slave has already instructed his subordinates to vacate the other courtyards in the East Mansion in the past few days, but in the end, it is a courtyard that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the old slave thinks that it is better to let the craftsmen in the mansion repair it so that it can live in it again." ”

Shen Que laughed, and Steward Song's cold sweat was already running down his back.

Steward Song has been managing the East Mansion for many years, and almost all of his money is in those courtyards, and some masters say that they want to move the courtyard, and the distinguished guests from the other mansions come to him to change their residence, which one does not give her a heavy reward. When she first returned home to the second room, she was still lucky, thinking that the old lady of the second room was soft, and there was no need to make a big deal about moving the yard, and it was feasible to move it when it was used. Now looking at the face of General Manager Liu, I am afraid that he will be planted in this matter by accident.

"In that case, let's settle Aunt Chen's residence today. Steward Song should be, Shen Quehuan sneered and teased her: "Fortunately, my father is only Aunt Chen." ”
