Chapter XVII

Liu Ji looked at the women in front of him, those young women really had dodgy eyes, full of fear, I was afraid that before the tooth people sent them over, they didn't make it clear who the main family was, otherwise they wouldn't have entered Liu's mansion if they were killed, and now that they have signed a contract and pressed their fingerprints, where is there any other choice, those servants in the nursing home will not show mercy.

was stared at by him like this, and several timid people suddenly couldn't stand still, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their mouths were forgiving: "The servant should die, the servant should die." ”

Before he could say anything, the old man scolded him first: "What are you doing, is Xiao Langjun the kind of unreasonable person, those who come down from the battlefield will always have some murderous aura, but you are all people in the house, what are you afraid of?" ”

When he said this, everyone couldn't stand still, and they all bowed to the ground, saying that they didn't dare, Liu Ji shook his head helplessly, it seems that his image is not much better in the eyes of these people waiting in the inner house.

The old man wanted to say more, but he pulled him: "Forget it, let them all get up, what to do and what to do." ”

When those women heard this, they all felt like they had been pardoned, got up to thank him, and then scattered, and Liu Ji had time to inquire about what he wanted to know.

"Except for them, but no one has come?"

"Is this?" The old man hesitated for a while and nodded: "There are also a few little ladies, locked in the wing room in the backyard, with a bit of a temper, and the old servant was afraid that they would collide with Goro, so he didn't call them." ”

And not just one!

Liu Ji didn't dare to look at Zhang Wu's expression, so he had to say to the old man, "I'm sorry for you to take us over." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head: "Gorou must have forgotten, it was you who said it yourself, the backyard is not for the old servants to set foot in, or let the people who take care of them guide the way, they are familiar with the situation and are more suitable than the old servants." ”

Liu Ji didn't care if he really didn't dare to go, or whether he was reluctant to get involved, and followed the two maidservants called by the old man to the backyard, which was his residence.

The main house is very large, the front yard is divided into two entrances, the outer wing room is naturally occupied by those domestic servants, the inner wing room is owned by the old housekeeper and other stewards, and between the front and back yards, there is a huge garden, a pool is dug in the middle, look at the water samples, it is still flowing, you can know that it is living water.

Walking along the Jiuqu corridor, he didn't care, Zhang Wuxuan and Xu Guangjing, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but secretly speak, the so-called rich and noble people's atmosphere, not wearing gold and silver, but inadvertently revealing luxury, such a big garden, just to clean up how many people, no wonder there are so many servants, take the two maids in front of them, they are also wearing brocade and hairpins, the next person is already like this, the master can imagine.

Liu Ji saw that the two of them were a little nervous, and couldn't help but smile and asked, firstly, it was very boring to walk like this, and secondly, he also wanted to talk about clichΓ©s.

"You two are new here? What is it called. ”

Hearing his words, the two of them stopped together, bent down and saluted him: "If you return to Langjun, the slave is called Zhilan." ”

"The slave's name is Huixiang."

"Hui Zhilanxin, a good name, who gave it a name?" His original intention was to know the name of the old man, and it was inferred from the style that he should be the housekeeper of the family, but it was always good to call you yours all the time, the more such old people, the clearer they were about their own details, and they were not easier to deal with than their relatives.

Unexpectedly, the two of them looked surprised, and said in unison: "The name of the slave was given by Lang Jun himself, have you forgotten?" ”

Without waiting for him to answer, the servant girl named Zhilan showed an aggrieved expression: "The slave knows that Lang Jun only likes newcomers, and how long has it been, so he threw the slave two behind, and Lang Jun also said that the slave is the person you trust the most, and all those little ladies will be handed over to the slave and other care, waiting for you to come back." ”

Liu Ji's face was embarrassed, not because she didn't recognize anyone, but from her words, most of these two people were in the same situation, they were robbed by themselves first, and then bought with money, blocking each other's mouths, and finally suppressed by Feng Changqing, which is in line with common sense.

This incident reminded him that the people who are most familiar with him are not necessarily relatives, but people who serve closely, because they must accurately grasp the words and deeds of their masters, and even the changes in their mentality, in order to invite pets to the top.

"Okay, tease you, let those little ladies you take care of, but you can still be safe." As soon as he thought of this, he smiled and waved his hand, allowing the two of them to stand up, so that he did have some posture, and he couldn't imagine that his previous self was close to the standard of later generations in terms of taste.

The two of them broke into laughter, stepped forward to wrap his arms, and walked forward without hesitation, Liu Ji was really not used to such actions, he felt like a weak boy, and it was not easy to let go at will, so he simply took the initiative to reach out and hold the waist of the second maid, through the garden and a gazebo, which is the gate of the backyard.

This place was opened for them early in the morning, and unlike the front, all the people who were guarding here were women with big shoulders and round waists, and when they saw them coming, they all bowed their heads and called Lang Jun.

When Liu Ji took people in, they glanced at each other and shook their heads, not knowing what new tricks Lang Jun was playing, even strange men were brought in, those poor little ladies, I was afraid that it would be uncomfortable.

The backyard is another weather, in general, exquisite, on both sides is a row of side rooms, the maids in colorful clothes shuttle between them, all holding all kinds of wine, melons and fruits, food and other things in their hands, see them coming, quickly get out of the way.

"Do you want Lang Jun to eat more, can you let them come by themselves?" Zhilan asked.

"Look at people first, it's been so long, and I really miss it."

Huixiang on the side pouted: "Lang Jun obviously doesn't believe us." ”

"I don't know you two yet? In private, I may threaten again, don't worry, as long as the person is okay, Lang Jun will not pursue it. ”

It's not that Liu Ji doesn't believe them, but this kind of thing, the fewer people who know, the better, he estimates that at this moment, Zhang's priceless face is already dark.

The second maid was helpless, and could only take them to continue forward, it turned out that the backyard was bigger than the front yard, there were as many as five, just the front and back of the main courtyard, all of them were garden nurseries, compared to the one among them, more beautiful not to mention, the varieties inside were only afraid that they were also extraordinary, in November this kind of weather, it was actually like flowers, beautiful.

Soon they came to the Sanjin Courtyard, where the main house is a hall, which seems to be the place where the backyard receives family members, and the wings on both sides are all closed.

"Are they all there?" Unconsciously, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a coldness, and this change in emotion was immediately felt by the two of them, who both left his side and bowed their heads.

"If you return to Langjun, there are a total of eight people, all of them are here, the servants dare not deceive, and they are all good at eating and drinking."

8, not yet in the double digits, Liu Ji lowered his voice, approached their ears, and asked softly: "There is a little lady surnamed Zhang, which room is it?" ”

"Left, second." Zhilan also replied softly.

"Keys." As soon as Liu Ji stretched out his hand, Zhilan hurriedly handed him a bunch of keys.

"All of them?" The other party nodded, and he continued: "You all go and prepare, I will have a banquet for my colleagues in a while, no one is allowed to come in this courtyard, understand?" ”

"The servant wrote it down."

The two squatted down again and saluted, and after they left, Liu Ji handed the key to Zhang Wuprice's hand.

"The second room on the left, you can go by yourself."

Zhang Wuyuan didn't speak, picked up the key and walked over, looking at his slightly staggering steps, he didn't dare to imagine that it was an iron man standing on the steep ice and still being able to catch his companions.

What a sin this has been.
