"Two masters, people have brought it!" Steward Liu stood cautiously in front of the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Yizhi stepped forward quickly, pulled Steward Liu away, and looked at Lu Xiaoxian behind him, but did not speak.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't know which one he was singing, and looked at Zhang Yizhi in amazement.

After a long time, Zhang Yizhi patted Lu Xiaoxian's shoulder: "Young Master Lu, what you said is not bad at all, let you guess it all!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized, he smiled slightly and made a gesture towards Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong: "Congratulations to the two of you!" ”

Zhang Yizhi took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoxian: "This is three thousand taels of silver, you can accept it!" ”

Wu Zetian rewarded and promoted the Zhang brothers, and he simply trusted him. The two of them have benefited, and of course they will not forget to mention their Lu Xiaoxian.

Steward Liu on the side looked straight in his eyes, and his heart was filled with a sour feeling.

Counting the servants who worked for the Zhang brothers before, including now being a housekeeper, Steward Liu has served them for more than ten years, and they have never seen the brothers so generous. Not to mention three thousand taels, even thirty taels have not been rewarded. Now, for a subordinate who has only been in the house for ten days, he will make a move of three thousand taels of silver, and he will not blink his eyes, which makes Steward Liu feel very uncomfortable.

Should I accept it?

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Steward Liu on the side, hesitated a little in his heart, and did not stretch out his hand.

Zhang Yizhi didn't think about it, and directly stuffed the silver ticket into Lu Xiaoxian's hand, and then said: "In the future, Liulang and I will live in the palace most of the time, and there are not many opportunities to return to the house, so Zhang's mansion will be handed over to you." From today on, you will be the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, and all matters in the mansion will be decided by you! ”

Hearing Zhang Yizhi's words, Steward Liu's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.

It's just a matter of rewarding Lu Xiaoxian, and now the position of housekeeper is also given to Lu Xiaoxian. He became the official of Zhangfu, so what is he?

"Lao Liu!" Zhang Yizhi's shout woke up Steward Liu, who was immersed in sorrow, "You hurry up and arrange it and let Lu Gongzi take over as soon as possible, if there is anything Lu Gongzi is not familiar with, you fully cooperate, understand?" ”

Steward Liu wanted to refuse Zhang Yizhi's arrangement, and then asked him loudly: "Why?" What am I doing wrong? Why are you treating me like this? ”

After all, the words of questioning were still not spoken, and Steward Liu knew the brothers too well. If you follow their thoughts, you can say anything, but if you lose their face, you will definitely be repaid if the six relatives don't recognize it. Steward Liu was still very afraid of the two brothers in his heart.

Although Steward Liu was extremely wronged in his heart, he could only swallow his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, nodded and admitted: "Two masters, don't worry, I will fully cooperate!" ”

……

"Steward Liu!" Lu Xiaoxian shouted with his hands behind his back.

"Master Lu, don't call me a housekeeper, the master has commanded, you are the housekeeper now!" Although Steward Liu was very frustrated, he still carried out Zhang Yizhi's brother's arrangement to the letter.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and said noncommittally: "Where do you think it is more appropriate for me to live?" ”

Steward Liu sighed: "Don't worry about Steward Lu, I'll vacate the house for you right away!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked Steward Liu up and down, and smiled: "There are so many houses in the house, why do you have to vacate your house?" All you need to do is find me a room that's closer to you! ”

"That's not going to work!" Steward Liu shook his head solemnly, "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules." The housekeeper has to live where he should live, and the west wing room where I live is the most suitable place for the housekeeper to live! ”

"Since the master has asked me to be a housekeeper, then now I have the final say!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "Listen to me, your house doesn't need to be moved, just arrange a random one for me next to it!" ”

Glancing at Lu Xiaoxian, Steward Liu stopped talking!

……

Looking at his new house, Lu Xiaoxian nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, very good!" Steward Liu, I'll discuss something with you, okay? ”

Steward Liu said with a bitter face: "Steward Lu, I beg you, don't call me a housekeeper anymore, I'm not a housekeeper now!" ”

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoxian blinked his eyes and asked, "Zhang Meng and the Yin Feng Langyue sisters are also familiar with You, and they will be transferred to me to serve, do you think it will work?" ”

Steward Liu smiled wryly: "You are a housekeeper, of course you have the final say on this little matter!" ”

"Well, I'm done!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled at Steward Liu, "However, this matter has to be left to you to do, and I don't worry about leaving it to others!" ”

……

"Steward Liu!" Lu Xiaoxian's lazy voice came into Steward Liu's ears again.

Steward Liu frowned, and was about to speak, but heard Lu Xiaoxian say first: "I know, you have to remind me not to call you Steward Liu, anyway, I'm used to it, don't mind!" ”

Steward Liu shook his head and stopped talking.

Lu Xiaoxian said mysteriously: "Steward Liu, please arrange someone to make a few side dishes, and then get two jars of good wine." I have something to say to you, how about we talk while we both drink in the evening? ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Steward Liu's brows furrowed even deeper.

He has been a housekeeper in Zhang's Mansion for more than a month, and he has never asked anyone to buy two glasses of wine and food! Lu Xiaoxian has only been in office for a long time before he dares to do this, and he is too bold, if the two masters know, this will be known......

Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "Steward Liu, you don't have to worry about it, the two masters will definitely not come back tonight." Even if they come back, I'll take care of everything. Besides, we're not just drinking, we still have business to talk about! ”

Steward Liu opened his mouth, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Lu Xiaoxian whistled pleasantly.

Steward Liu went and returned: "Steward Lu, will this wine and food be delivered to your house after it is ready?" ”

"No!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head, "Send it to your house, and I'll go directly to your house when the time comes." ”

……

Before he arrived, Lu Xiaoxian had already sniffled and followed the incense to Steward Liu's house.

Steward Liu was very neat, and he had already prepared wine and food according to Lu Xiaoxian's instructions.

The wine was accompanied by six home-cooked dishes, including shredded pork, spicy braised chicken feet, cold pork ears, sweet and sour peanuts, fennel beans, and a few salted duck eggs. The wine is not a good wine, it is a very common shochu on the market.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't care at all, his face was full of smiles, and he praised Steward Liu for preparing well.

After the two sat down, Lu Xiaoxian didn't eat the food, and directly raised his glass: "Steward Liu, come on, come on, I'll toast you!" I'll do it first for respect. ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian drank the wine happily.

Steward Liu's brows were still furrowed.

Since the Zhang brothers instructed Lu Xiaoxian to be the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion, Steward Liu has not been happy. He still couldn't figure it out, with Lu Xiaoxian's virtue, how could the two masters rest assured that such a big house would be handed over to him?

"Alas!" Steward Liu couldn't help but sigh again.

Anyway, Lu Xiaoxian is now a veritable housekeeper of Zhangfu, and Steward Liu can't refute his face, so he can only drink the wine in the cup silently.

Lu Xiaoxian was also polite, took a bite of food and said: "Steward Liu, I admire you in this mansion, apart from the two of us, who else will think about the active master?" ”

Steward Liu almost blurted out when he heard this: It is me who really thinks about the two masters, what is the matter with you, what is said is the same as the truth.

Lu Xiaoxian raised another glass of wine: "Steward Liu, come, I'll toast you again!" ”

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Steward Liu did not show it, nodded and drank the wine in the cup.

When he put down the cup, Steward Liu suddenly had an idea: they all say that they spit out the truth after drinking, since he wants to drink, then get him drunk and listen to what he says.

Steward Liu dared to think this because he usually drank well, and in his opinion, it was more than enough to deal with Lu Xiaoxian.

Thinking of this, Steward Liu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "Steward Lu, I will give you a glass in return!" Let's do it first! ”

Steward Liu's thoughts, how could Lu Xiaoxian not know, he followed after drinking, put down the wine glass, smiled and said, "Do you know why the master asked me to be a housekeeper?" ”

Steward Liu pricked up his ears, which was exactly what he wanted to know the most.

"Because I helped the two masters come up with ideas, they are very favored in front of His Majesty, and they have been promoted and become big officials, so the two of them want to repay me, it's as simple as that!"

Steward Liu's eyes widened, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder the two masters were so happy, let him be the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, and rewarded him with three thousand taels of silver.

Steward Liu took the opportunity to compliment Lu Xiaoxian for a few words, and then raised his glass to toast.

Lu Xiaoxian did not refuse, and his face turned red after a while.

He put down his glass, and his tongue was a little disobedient: "Actually, I really don't want to be this housekeeper!" ”

Steward Liu's eyes widened, and he didn't know if Lu Xiaoxian was telling the truth or a lie.

"The reason why the two masters asked me to be housekeepers is because they often can't go back to the house, for fear that the backyard will be unstable. Actually, Steward Liu, you have taken care of Zhang's Mansion in an orderly manner, and the two masters are not worried at all! ”

Lu Xiaoxian's words made Steward Liu's eyes moist a little.

For so long, he has worked hard to take care of Zhang's Mansion, and he has never received a word of praise from the two masters, but now he is remembered by an outsider, and this person is still the one who robbed his position.

Lu Xiaoxian's words made Steward Liu's hostility towards him a lot.

Lu Xiaoxian took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Steward Liu: "This is 1,500 taels of silver, please accept it with a smile!" ”

The Zhang brothers rewarded Lu Xiaoxian with 3,000 taels of silver, which Steward Liu saw with his own eyes. Now, Lu Xiaoxian actually gave half of it to himself, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"How can this work?" Steward Liu hurriedly refused, "I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian forced the silver ticket into Steward Liu's hand: "I can't shirk the two masters, but please rest assured, although I am the housekeeper in name, in fact, you still have the final say in the affairs of Zhang's Mansion!" ”

Steward Liu couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it, and then toasted Lu Xiaoxian three glasses of wine in a row.
