Chapter 95

The next day, Tang Xu got up early to freshen up, and then took out the written house rules to show them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't look at it, after such a toss, Tang Xu found that except for Tang Jin, none of these people were literate.

If it was really someone chosen by the emperor and the queen, how could he be illiterate? Tang Xu muttered secretly. On second thought, perhaps the emperor felt that I only needed some subordinates to help with things, and it would not be so wasteful, after all, going to school and studying in ancient times was a luxury.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu was also relieved, since Tang Jin could read and write, let him read the family rules, but Tang Jin always looked very embarrassed, and he didn't open his mouth for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xu was very weak-hearted, he knew that his writing was not good, and he didn't write like the ancients.

"Master, the villain doesn't dare to read it." Tang Jin held the piece of paper in his hand and turned his head to look at Tang Xu.

"I'll do it." Tang Xu didn't understand what he was afraid of, thinking that his wording was wrong. Tang Jin saw that Tang Xu wanted to read it by himself, so he hurriedly presented the family rules to Tang Xu respectfully, and then returned to the servants and knelt down in a proper manner.

"Tang Jin, you've just seen the new house rules, haven't you?" Tang Xu saw Tang Jin kneeling again, his face was not very good-looking, and the first article of the family rules clearly stated that except for major occasions such as sacrifices and worship, there is no need to kneel and worship at other times. Tang Xu asked all six of them to get up and stand, and everyone except Tang Jin didn't understand what Tang Xu meant, but they still got up obediently.

"Master, the villain dares to say something, the new family rules are still not needed." Tang Jin swallowed nervously, and his two legs on the ground trembled a little.

"Why not? I think it's good, you listen to me first. Tang Xu felt that although he didn't want those cumbersome and embarrassing rules, he still wanted the majesty of being the head of the family. The servants did not dare to answer him when he said this, and listened cautiously.

Tang House House Rules

First, except for major occasions such as sacrifices and worship, servants of the Tang Mansion are not allowed to bow down.

Second, there is no need to take a bath, eat, go to bed, etc., and you can rest in peace after you finish your work.

Article 3: Two days off every five days, which can be arranged at will.

Article 4...

The more Tang Xu read it, the happier he became, and he really had the meaning of the boss reading out the company's resolution, but when he finished reading a large number of family rules, the servants all looked at each other, crying and laughing.

"What's wrong? Is it written badly? If you have anything to say, just say it. Tang Xu said. But even so, the servants didn't seem to dare to speak, and after a long time, Tang Jin took a step forward tremblingly.

"What do you want to say?" Tang Xu saw that he was still coming out, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

"Master, we know that you are sympathetic to us, but you still have to have the rules that should be there, otherwise outsiders will know that the servants in our house are neither big nor small, which will damage your reputation." Tang Jin persuaded bitterly. Tang Xu waved his hand and said It doesn't matter what others think of me, I am in charge of my family's affairs.

"Anything else?" Tang Xu thought that he would have nothing to say if he insisted on Tang Jin, but seeing him like that, he still wanted to say something.

"If the master insists on this, the little ones will not dare to disobey, but the villain thinks that there are two things wrong." Tang Jin said again.

"Say it." Tang Xu's face was a little better, at least this time he didn't completely deny it.

"The little courage, the small one feels that kneeling is still inevitable, otherwise if the people are accustomed to it, they are so presumptuous in front of others, and even do not kneel to the guests and officials, and spread it to damage the reputation of the lord, and it also seems that there is no respect for the people, saying that the lord is not good at disciplining the subordinates, and it is not good for someone to chew the root of the tongue with some kindness." Tang Jin kept staring at Tang Xu's unpredictable expression as he spoke, and swallowed back all the words that followed.

"Forget it, you can kneel if you want, what about the rest, do you have any other opinions?" Tang Xu sighed, but Tang Jin also made sense, there was no need to insist and make it difficult for them to do it in front of others.

"There is also a vacation, no one in the house for those two days, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if the lord insists on this, I'm afraid that in the end, it will be our subordinates who will be poked in the back." Tang Jin cried with a sad face, he seemed to have touched Tang Xu's weakness, but he didn't want to embarrass others.

"Well, the number of days off is the same, and I can't let you stay without a break. But you can arrange your own rest that day, so it's okay, right? Tang Xu smiled. He was actually a little worried that he was really so bold to let everyone go, in case someone from the palace saw it, it would be difficult for Tang Jin to really be punished.

"The lord is wise." The servants respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Xu, Tang Xu sighed secretly, feeling so helpless in his heart.

After the house rules were read, the servants were busy again, Tang Xu smiled bitterly and said that at least he wouldn't worry that someone would come to drill his bed in the middle of the night, hehe.

Although the feast was held in the evening, people continued to visit and congratulate them from the morning. The New Year's visit was not so early, and these people came to congratulate Tang Xu on going to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of Emperor Shi. Although these flatteries make people feel boring and boring, they don't want to make people unhappy during the New Year, and Tang Xu also cheered up to deal with it. It wasn't until after noon that the number of people gradually decreased, and Tang Xu finally had a moment to spare and drink tea and rest alone in the house. At this time, someone knocked on the door, Tang Xu asked who it was, and replied that it was Tang Zhao.

"Come in." Tang Xu responded. Tang Zhao is twelve years old this year, I don't know if he knew him before or was more in love, he was better than Tang Jin since he entered the Tang Mansion, but he was probably also a child of a poor family, otherwise how could his parents be willing to come out at the age of twelve to be slaves.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xu saw that he didn't speak, so he asked himself. Tang Zhao usually didn't get along with Tang Xu a lot, usually just looking at the door or going to the stove room to help the cook, so he was still a little scared of his master, and he didn't dare to speak after standing for a long time after coming in.

"Back to the old man, outside. There's a young guy outside. I want to see you. Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and replied in a panic, sweating on his forehead.

"Who is it?" Tang Xu kindly wiped his sweat, Tang Zhao was flattered, and suddenly his little face turned red.

"The man said it was your distant cousin." Tang Zhao was treated so closely by Tang Xu, and the fear in his heart suddenly decreased by half, his mood relaxed a lot, and he spoke more fluently.

Cousin? Tang Xu thought to himself, where did he come from, did someone want to set himself up?

"Sir?" Tang Zhao saw that Tang Xu's expression was different, and he didn't dare to disturb, but when he thought that there were still people waiting for a reply at the gate of the courtyard, he called Tang Xu.

"You take the guests to the hall for tea first, and I'll be there later." Tang Xu was still drumming in his heart, but he felt that there was something strange in it, no matter what, it was still good to see it. Tang Zhao took the order to go out, and Tang Xu straightened his clothes and walked over.
