After Li Qiniang bent her knees to send Li Zhongyi away, she slowly walked into the main room of Xiaoxiang Courtyard under the false support of the personal big girl Ziyue.

Ziyue glanced at the maids who were waiting behind her, and found that they were just slightly bowing their heads, not far away, not far away, not close, not only hearing the master's soft call, but also not disturbing the master's interest.

"Lady, the rules here are not bad." Ziyue nodded with satisfaction, and whispered what she saw to Li Qiniang.

Li Qiniang looked at the furnishings in the main house, and secretly thought to herself, men who really do big things, rarely spend too much thought in the back house.

If she didn't know how much Li Zhongyi valued her, just looking at the messy ornaments in the room, she would probably think too much, thinking that Li Zhongyi didn't welcome her arrival.

Li Qiniang naturally understood in her heart that Li Zhongyi's betrothed wife Chai Yuniang had not yet entered the door because she wanted to keep filial piety for the first emperor. Therefore, the women in the family, including the so-called flat wife Zhesaihua, before Li Zhongyi ascended to the throne and rewarded concubines, were essentially just concubines.

In this era when men are absolutely dominant, concubines, this kind of creature, are actually consciously divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The family of the powerful, Teng concubines, noble concubines, good concubines, cheap concubines, and maidservants, plus the big girls who may be carried into the room, there are no less than six kinds of women with a name alone.

However, the situation of the old Li family is relatively special, Li Zhongyi is not only the Duke of Chu, but also the prince of the dynasty, and the future wife is the princess of the royal family.

As long as Princess Chai is married into the door, what else is there to make trouble about the women in the back house? The disparity in identity is too great.

Princess Chai is the status of a half-monarch, if she is jealous and ruthless, she will kill a beautiful concubine by mistake, and she can't even find a place to reason.

As soon as Li Qiniang sat down, a beautiful maid in a water-green dress, holding a red lacquer tea tray in her hand, looked at her nose and nose, and walked to the desk without squinting.

Under Li Qiniang's gaze, the beautiful maid leaned sideways and gently put the tea tray on the desk, then held up the tea cup, respectfully handed it to Li Qiniang's hand, lightly opened her lips, and said coquettishly: "Please use tea." ”

Li Qiniang traveled all the way, and she was really thirsty, so she took the teacup, put it to her lips, and when she drank it, she ordered: "Reward!" ”

Ziyue, who had been prepared, took out a bunch of money from her arms unhurriedly, walked over and stuffed it into the hand of the beautiful maid, and said with a smile: "A little bit of the lady's heart, I will reward you for buying pocket money to eat." ”

"Thank you for the lady's reward." The beautiful maid bent her knees and was blessed, Ziyue kept staring at her, seeing that she had taken a reward of a lot of money, but as if she was nothing, she didn't feel anything different in her heart, could it be that the reward was less?

After all, Li Qiniang is the little lady of the county king's mansion, she stretches out her hands in clothes on weekdays, opens her mouth when she eats, and she is used to pampering, she may not know the purchasing power of a hanging of money, Ziyue is Li Qiniang's intimate and intimate belly, how can she not know?

In today's Kaifeng City, fifty dollars, you can buy a handsome maid as handsome as the maidservant in front of you, which is already a lot!

"What's your name? Where did you work on an errand before? Li Qiniang gently put the tea cup on the desk in a beautiful posture and asked with a smile.

"Back to the lady, the slave maid is called Yueji, by the grace of the master, the identity of the first-class maid was rewarded, and she used to serve food and tea in the master's inner study. The master personally instructed the slaves and maids, and they will serve on your side in the future. ”

Li Qiniang listened to Yueji's answer, and her heart couldn't help but be sweet again, since Yueji is qualified to serve in the inner study of the head of the family, and it is also an extremely important diet and tea, she must be the confidant and big girl by Li Zhongyi's side.

Li Zhongyi was worried that Li Qiniang had just arrived, and others might not take good care of him, so he specially arranged for the people around him to come over to serve Li Qiniang, not to mention anything else, this intention alone made Li Qiniang feel extra considerate.

The most famous copper stinker in the Great Zhou Dynasty is so careful and considerate, but he is still a big hero who has repeatedly defeated the strong enemy Khitan, Li Qiniang couldn't help laughing.

"Lady, you look so good when you laugh!" Yueji sincerely admired, she followed Li Zhongyi's side, except for Cui Niangzi, she had never seen a beauty that looked better than Li Qiniang's smile.

Li Qiniang smiled, and ordered Ziyue to move a stool, and ordered Yueji to sit down and talk. Ziyue knew in her heart that Li Qiniang had just come to Guidi, and she was blind to the situation in Li Zhongyi's back house, and she was about to find someone who was familiar with the inside story to understand a thing or two.

Ziyue brought a brocade pier, and Yueji didn't sit down immediately, but kept staring down at the tips of her own shoes, her waist straight and unmoving.

Li Qiniang saw that Yueji was very well-behaved, and she was even more satisfied, she picked up the teacup and told Yueji with a smile: "Sit down, let's talk well." ”

At a glance, the large group of maids and women who were originally following behind them were all holding their breath, and they were divided into three rows in a regular manner, standing on both sides three feet away from the door.

Li Qiniang was secretly a little funny, she was almost frightened by Li Zhongyi, a wealthy family with real background and rules, the owner sits on the main seat, and will never allow it to be seen at a glance, there must be a curtain to separate.

From the lord and the maid, in general, the rules of the Li family's back house, in some aspects, reveal the heritage of the nouveau riche, and in other aspects, far exceed the long-rich Huayang County Palace.

For example, so many people followed behind Li Qiniang and walked a short way, and Li Qiniang couldn't hear the slightest footsteps, let alone coughing, or muttering from ear to ear.

Since the moment Li Qiniang was born, she has been the proud daughter of the sky with a golden spoon in her mouth, a veritable famous and noble girl. In the past, when the king of Huayang County did not show his defeat, Li Qiniang also saw a lot of the grandeur and rules of the century-old princess's house.

If you have to compare, in fact, the inner courtyard of the mansion in front of you is indeed not as elegant as the famous family that follows the ancient rites in terms of rules.

However, Li Qiniang has a special feeling, indescribable, as if it is the vigorous vitality after dawn when the rising sun looms above the horizon, right?

Since Yueji was a person sent by Li Zhongyi, Li Qiniang was not polite, she asked Yueji with a smile: "I just came here, can you say ......" The words only said half a sentence, and the rest depends on Yueji's comprehension ability.

"Back to the lady, our Xiaoxiang courtyard is the closest to the master's residence, go out and turn right, go around the verandah, about fifty steps, after passing the small corner door, it is the master's inner study." Yueji got up and bowed respectfully, until Li Qiniang insisted that she sit down and speak, then she slowly sat down, half next to the brocade stool, and said in detail, "I don't care about the idle things in the backyard, as long as the leader is outside, the affairs of the inner house have always been handled by Aunt Zhu." However, Aunt Zhu has been pregnant for a few months, and everything in the house is in charge of General Manager Li. ”

Yueji has been secretly observing Li Qiniang's expression, and seeing that although she listened very carefully, she seemed to be not very interested, so she figured out Li Qiniang's thoughts, and the conversation turned to the topic of women in the house, "In addition to Aunt Zhu, there are still Aunt Ye, Aunt Han, Aunt Jin and Cui Niangzi, Aunt Ye and Aunt Han are pregnant, they accompany the master every day to serve the pen and ink in the inner study, Aunt Jin always has the wife or little lady of the Goryeo dignitary family to see, but Cui Niangzi is there, and the master rarely goes." ……”

Li Qiniang's eyes flashed slightly, what a first-class girl, Yue Ji didn't talk much, but in just a few words, she introduced the situation of the woman in Li Zhongyi's back house clearly and clearly.

According to Yue Jiyan's concise introduction, Li Qiniang has a general understanding of the situation in this back house.

Obviously, Aunt Zhu is the most favored, Aunt Ye and Aunt Han should have the highest cultural literacy, since Aunt Jin's surname is Jin, I am afraid that Li Zhongyi's Goryeo concubines will give some high-ranking Goryeo officials who like to take the lady's route a place to use.

As for that Cui Niang, it's a little strange, since she is not Li Zhongyi's concubine, but she lives in this back house, it is likely that there are special circumstances, right?

"Lady, our master, although the rules are very big, it is very good to treat a subordinate like me, and the reward is also very heavy. I'm a first-class girl, I always have two meat, two vegetables and one soup at every meal, and I can order whatever I want. Merely...... The lord is very taboo to exchange information with people outside the house, and as long as suspicious items such as letters are found on the door, they will be killed. If you need to buy something, just tell the slave and maid, and you have a special steward to take care of the purchase. The bloody side revealed by Yueji made Li Qiniang speechless for a long time, and she was silent for a long time before she asked Yueji again, "You go on, I know everything." ”

"Oh, the slave maid damn it, I almost forgot my master's instructions, the master said, the pool has been cleared of idle miscellaneous people, etc., and the slave maid led you to take a dip in the hot spring soup, you can sleep more soundly at night...... " Yueji saw that Li Qiniang was a little confused, so she explained with a smile, "Our master likes swimming, and it is said that it can strengthen the muscles and keep fit." Our swimming pool is much larger than the general hot spring pool outside Kaifeng. ”

As soon as Yueji said this, Li Qiniang understood that daring was a king-size hot spring pool.

Li Qiniang is a super clean person, if she doesn't bathe two or three times a day, she will feel uncomfortable.

Originally, according to the orthodox lady education that Li Qiniang received, Li Qiniang should pretend to be reserved. However, I don't know why, maybe it was Li Zhongyi's meticulous and considerate care, which made her a little tense and completely relaxed.

There is no need to talk nonsense, Li Qiniang can trust Li Zhongyi, even if she can't believe it, she has already entered the back house of the old Li family, and it is too late to say anything else at this time, so it is better to follow Li Zhongyi's arrangement.

After Li Qiniang was led into the heated swimming pool, she couldn't help but be stunned, it was really a low-key luxury outside the ruin!
