Chapter 142: The First Words of the Mansion
Although the Son of Heaven said everything, but Yinzhen did not appear in Fengyin Pavilion that night, so naturally there was no way to clean up her "little goblin". The war in the northwest is tight, and the monarchs and ministers of the Yangxin Palace pick up the lamp to discuss the war, if Lu knows it, it won't be long before Nian Qianyao will be named the general of Fuyuan. It's just that although this glory is great, it doesn't last long, and the fire cooking oil is only more than a year, which is the collapse of the building and the disaster of annihilation.
Ruo Yu thought about this moment, Yin Zhen should have no time to take care of her, so she simply asked Aunt Hua Shu to pack up her baggage and plan to go out of the palace to stay for a few days. The mansion of Zhu Ji Ama when he was a Beijing official has been empty since he was transferred, and Kangxi left this mansion to Ruolu, which was what Ji Du told her after she arrived in the grassland, and Kangxi took all the back roads for her.
Jidu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone immediately answered the door, looking at it, it seemed to be an internal servant. Ji Du only showed the sign, and the doorkeeper opened the door of the house like a comprehension, stepped out of the threshold, retreated to the side and knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The slave greets the master, and welcomes the master back to the house." ”
Ruolu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the gatehouse attentively, then nodded, called, and was accompanied into the house by Hua Shu Tongjidu.
Although she has not lived here for a long time, she is also familiar, the last time she came here, she came with Yinzhen, and there should be no one to take care of it in the mansion, although it is covered with snow and a little clean, in the end you can see the decadence of being uncared for for a long time. Now this mansion is full of flowers and the window rails are clean, and someone must be **** cleaning it.
Ruolu was looking around, and someone thought that someone had taken care of it, and a middle-aged man in a blue coat and a fifty-year-old man trotted over. Asked for peace first, Fang said: "Qi Landao, the steward of the slave mansion." Greeting Gege, I don't know if Gege is going home. failed to come out to greet him, and hoped to forgive his sins. ”
Ruolu waved his hand and said, "It's okay." This time I went back home, it was my whim, you didn't get the news, how can I blame you if you don't make arrangements? Then he looked around and said with a light smile, "I see that the mansion is better than in the past, and I think it is the credit of the Qi manager." ”
Qi Landao hurriedly pressed his body lower, respectfully but solemnly: "Gege is generous." This is a matter of the minion's part, and the minion Xie Gege praises it. ”
While speaking, several people had already entered the main hall, and a maidservant girl stepped forward to serve tea, and the etiquette and demeanor seemed to be trained by the palace. Ruolu didn't say a word, only looked secretly in her heart, she didn't know who arranged these individuals in the mansion at the moment.
See Ruolu put down the teacup. Qi Landao took a step forward and said respectfully: "Ge Ge Rong Bing, there are a total of eighty-one people on duty in the mansion, including one steward. There are two deputy stewards, four big girls in the inner room, and four grandmothers. There are eight girls in the outhouse and four old mothers. There are also two cooks and six assistant cooks. There are 12 people who sprinkle and sweep, 18 people who nurse the hospital, 2 people who are the porter, and 18 people who are the rest of the grooms. I don't know if Gege plans to give a lecture to everyone in the house at this moment, or take a nap first, and ask Gege to show me. ”
After thinking for a moment, Ruo Yu said, "Then Steward Qi will arrange for them to come over." ”
"Yes." Qi Landao retreated.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, Ruolu approached Aunt Hua Shu and whispered: "Auntie, can you bring enough silver and red paper for rewarding people?" ”
Hua Shu nodded and said, "Thinking that Gege will use it, the slaves and maids will bring it, only a little more." ”
patting the back of Hua Shu's hand, Ruo Yu smiled and said, "It's still my aunt's intimacy." After that, Ruolu turned to Jidu again, "Jidu, do you know who arranged the people in this mansion?" The first emperor or the emperor? ”
"Back to Gege, the emperor arranged thirty-two people for Gege, namely the housekeeper, the deputy steward Zhao Cheng, the big girl Yueqin, Shuying, Song Mama and Yuan Mama, and six internal servants, fourteen nursing homes, and six other miscellaneous maids, all from the Qianqing Palace, all of whom can be trusted." Jidu Road.
"Zhao Cheng?" Ruolu exclaimed, "Li Chenda's apprentice Zhao Cheng? ”
"Exactly."
"And who is this Qi Steward? I have been in the palace for more than ten years, but I have never heard of such a number one person. ”
"If you go back to Gege, you can't just know that Qi Landao was once a member of the Emperor's secret guard, and he has been out of office for several years before coming here."
Nodding, Ruolu didn't say anything more.
After a short time, Qi Lan Dao came, and everyone was already in line outside the main hall to listen. Ruolu took Hua Shu's arm and walked out of the hall slowly. More than 80 people, say not much, say no less, outside the house, there is a large area of black pressure. Qi Landao sang the name of the position, and the person who came out of the list was saluted with Ruolu. At first, it was still three or two people, and then it was to be lined up in a row, then two rows, three rows, several rows, Ruo Lu really felt a little bit like Wang Xifeng at the moment.
If the bird received the salute, and gave the lecture, and the reward was given, most of the hour passed. After everyone dispersed, Qi Landao asked for the lunch menu. Ruolu hurriedly glanced at it, and all of them were his own preferences on weekdays, some were early, some were in recent years, regardless of steaming, cooking, and frying, even as small as the thickness of the noodles was specially noted, which was really a big deal.
"This list is all my favorite food, just help me arrange a few things at will." If you close the menu, you will sigh in your heart.
"Yes." Qi Lan responded, and then said, "Gege left the palace early in the morning, thinking that he is already a little sleepy now, the servant arranged a fragrant soup and jade pillow, and Gege wants to go back to the room to rest for a while." ”
"It's okay, there's Laurie in charge." Ruolu nodded and said.
The courtyard is still the same courtyard where Ruolu lived, and as soon as Ruolu Fang entered the courtyard, the grandmothers and maids who were standing in the courtyard greeted Ruolu one after another.
Ruolu screamed, turned his head and said, "You should be tired too, I'll ask them to help you arrange a room to rest." ”
"The slave is not tired, the slave serves outside the house." Jidu Road.
"It's not an iron man, how can you not be tired." Ruolu glanced at Jidu and said, "This is also my home, you don't have to be so careful, you can relax, you are also a trustworthy person, since this is the case, you go to rest, nourish your spirit, and when I go out, you can better protect me, right?" ”
Without waiting for Jidu to reply, Ruo Yu beckoned to the nearest maidservant and said, "What's your name?" ”
The servant girl took a few steps forward, blessed her body and said, "If you go back to Gege, slave Ruijin." ”
Nodding, Ruo Yu said, "Ruijin, you serve General Jidu to rest in the ear room." ”
"Yes." Ruijin took the order and led Jidu to the side of the ear.
The curtain was opened and entered the house, and the four grandmothers, Yueqin, Shuying, Liangchen, and Xiangjin, stepped forward to ask for peace together, which was regarded as a recognition of the Lord. Ruo Yu had to wrap a bigger red envelope, and after a few words, Fang said: "In the future, I will have to work for everyone, several grandmothers are elders, and there is no need to be neutral in the room on weekdays, so let's go back to the house to rest today." After the grandmothers bowed and retreated, Ruo Yu turned to say to a few maidservants, "I am happy and quiet, and I am not used to too many people serving in the house, so you only need to leave one or two people on duty every day. ”
"Yes." The four of them responded together, and Shuying and Xiang bowed and left the house.
"Yu Gege, the fragrant soup has been prepared, Gege wants to bathe and change clothes?" Yueqin stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Hmm."
After taking a flower petal bath, the whole body was hot, Ruolu scattered her hair, got into the quilt, and said: "Aunt Huashu, you have been busy for most of the day, Yueqin, you serve your aunt to rest on the couch outside, and Liangchen will stay to serve." ”
After the two left, Ruolu said to Liangchen: "When did you come here on an errand?" ”
"If you return to Gege, it is in the first month of the first year of Yongzheng. The emperor walked to the Fengyin Pavilion on Chinese New Year's Eve, invited the palace people serving in the Fengyin Pavilion to ask some questions, and then sat for a long time, and after a few days, he ordered the slave maid and Chen Yang and dozens of others to come here on errands. Liangchen replied.
Ruolu heard this, smiled, this good day was lively in the past, but I didn't find out that she still has the potential to be a matchmaker, it's just a harmless thing, Ruolu didn't care, and asked instead: "The menu is provided by a few of you to Qi Guanshi?" ”
"Back to Gege, the menu was drafted by the Qi manager, and it was finally finalized after being corrected by the emperor."
It's strange, Qi Landao didn't serve her, how did he know his preferences? Ruolu muttered in his heart, but only said: "Since you have come here, it is better than being at ease in the palace." I'll sleep first, you don't have to stand here all the time, your legs are weird, find a place to steal your own leisure. ”
Liangchen knew that Ruolu was easy-going, and saluted with a smile: "Xie Gege." (To be continued.) )
