In the face of the same sun and rain, some people were stunned by wet embroidered shoes, and some people sat in the Yao Pavilion with high spirits to enjoy the scene.

It is rare to be so idle, Li Yan asked Xiaomo to gather all the family members to the Star Picking Pavilion to drink "afternoon tea".

Xiao Mo seemed to understand and answered, turned to leave, and wondered what afternoon tea meant all the way.

As a concubine and the chief housekeeper of the Li Mansion, she had to think more and arrange the orders of the prime minister, and everyone was happy, which was her duty. Don't let your ignorance ruin the elegance of your own justice.

After all, he was born in a large family, and after thinking for a while, he grasped the key point - tea.

Li Yan pulled Li Bei'er out of the courtyard gate, and the two of them took an umbrella together, side by side, hand in hand, talking and laughing all the way to the garden.

The subordinates encountered on the road stopped sideways, respectfully did not dare to look up, and when the pair of golden boys and girls walked in front of them, they looked at the backs of the two in a daze, and their eyebrows revealed endless yearning.

"Hey, if such a handsome Lang Jun likes me, it's okay to be small." A little maid shook her head and sighed.

"Don't dream, I heard that our fairy-like housewife is just a concubine." An old woman beside her said.

"Huh? No way! What kind of woman does it have to be a wife? The little maid was surprised.

"I don't know what it looks like, because my wife ran away on the day of marriage."

The little maid's arm shook, and the delicate teapot in the tray slipped and shattered on the ground, and fell to pieces, spilling hot tea on the ground.

The old mother scolded: "You stupid girl, you can't even hold the teapot steadily, and you dream all day long to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, even the old lady I will follow you to eat melon branding, this month's monthly dedication is probably not enough." ”

When the little maid heard the reprimand, she looked at the ceramic pieces scattered on the ground, and knew that she was in trouble, so she was so frightened that she sobbed lowly.

"What's wrong?" Xiaomo heard the voice, walked out of the courtyard gate next to him, and asked.

"Butler Xiaomo, this girl mixed the soles of her feet, and accidentally broke the teapot, she knew that she was wrong, and please don't criticize her, it's all my fault with my wife, I didn't teach her well, and I will pay for it from my month." The old mother pleaded for the little girl.

Xiaomo walked over and rubbed the maid's hand, and said with concern: "It's not hot, is it?" ”

The little maid shook her head vigorously.

"It's good if it's not hot, clean up here first, and then go to the tearoom to make a new pot, walk carefully, especially the star picking attic with many high steps, and you have to be very energetic, if it is broken again, it will really deduct your money." After Xiao Mo finished explaining very quickly, he left in a hurry and arranged other things.

The old mother took a mouthful, and her face showed a look of great relief.

What stays in the Li Mansion is comfortable, not because of how easy the work is, but because it makes people feel comfortable.

She was the first batch of subordinates to enter the house, and she began as a girl housekeeper named Huanxi, who never scolded and harshly scolded her subordinates, was very good, and was extremely smart, able to control the overall situation, and arrange everyone's work appropriately.

Somehow, suddenly the Huanxi girl disappeared, and promoted a little girl who had just entered the house to be a housekeeper, and at first she complained that she couldn't afford this responsibility.

After a few days of contact, I feel that this new housekeeper is also very good, not only can get along well with them, but also good at observation, who is in a bad mood, she can see, and then take the initiative to lower her status to communicate with them, help if you can, and comfort if you can't help.

Especially when I heard that the little Mo housekeeper was accepted by the officials last night, everyone was happy for her, and since then she has become a master from a slave, and she has become an inspirational model for the little maids, the reason is ......

Xiaomo is really not very good-looking.

…………

The name of the Star Picking Tower comes from the sentence "Hands can pick the stars" of the poet, which is also to highlight the height of this building.

Li Yan used to watch from a distance, this pavilion was too dazzling, it was as tall as a five-story building in the previous life, and compared with other buildings, it seemed much lower, as if standing out from the crowd.

It was the first time he entered the inside, pushed open the door, and saw that there were windows on all sides, and the room was empty, only a table was placed in the southeast corner, and a clay statue of Taishang Laojun was placed on the table, holding a whisk in his hand, smiling all over his face, his beard was up to his chest, and he was sitting cross-legged on the lotus, which was very kind.

Li Yan couldn't help but quip: "I knew that he was there, so I wouldn't let the old Taoist priest go to the secret prostitution, and it was important to worship the ancestor master." ”

Li Bei'er twisted his arm lightly and said angrily: "Mo is joking with immortals." ”

The two of them laughed and stepped up the stairs, the second floor was as empty as the first floor, there were no tables and chairs, just some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the windows around them, which had been ignored for a long time and stuck with a lot of dust.

After glancing around from beginning to end, Li Bei'er blinked, and then pulled Li Yan to the third floor.

"Are these calligraphy and paintings worth anything?" Li Yan asked an unbearable question.

"Hmm...... It's okay. Li Bei'er thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.

To Li Yan's ears, it must have been made by some fake or unknown person, otherwise Li Bei'er would not have just glanced at it and turned away.

In fact, these are the authentic works of the previous emperors of the Zhao family, and the eunuchs worked hard to get them in exchange for them, and they were hung in this attic for worship, and they also overpowered the Taishang Laojun, how could they not be valuable? Take out a random piece and put it on the market, and you can exchange it for a thousand taels of gold.

However, this is entirely due to political factors, if you talk about the artistic value alone, it is not worth a few dollars, after all, not every emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was an artist, at least Huizong did not appear before.

Therefore, these calligraphy and paintings can't get into Li Bei'er's eyes, so he casually said that sentence is okay.

If Li Yan knew that what she said was okay, but it was worth a thousand taels of gold, it would be strange if she didn't die of anger.

The third floor, the fourth floor, there is nothing to see, and the two of them hold hands and go straight to the fifth floor.

Li Bei'er was physically exhausted, and begged Li Yan to hug her naughtily, although there were only ten steps left.

Li Yan is not a stupid straight man, how could he not understand his thoughts, rolled up his sleeves, and took the beautiful girl in his arms.

rubbing, flying up the stairs, frightened Jin Bottle'er screamed.

There were already slaves and maids who wiped the fifth floor clean in advance, and at this time they were cleaning to the end, and when they heard the voices of the officials and the housewife, they all kept silent, put down their work, and stood in place and waited.

When Li Bei'er saw someone upstairs, her face couldn't help but flush, and she was a little shy.

Li Yan didn't care about this, he came to the center with Li Bottle, and steadily placed it on a square table, worshipping it like a bodhisattva.

This even more shy Li Bei'er covered her face and said coquettishly: "Xianggong is not too ashamed to panic." ”

Ha ha......

Li Yan raised his head and laughed, and said with his waist in his arms: "I spoil my mother-in-law, how can I be ashamed." ”

After that, it wasn't enough, so he smiled and said to his subordinates: "You say, shame? ”

How dare the subordinates disobey him, they all shook their heads again and again, but the corners of their mouths rose slightly, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
