The next day, Mama Sang and the three of them each handed over the necessary manpower to Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at the three lists, including Mama Sang, the three of them wrote quite well, at least much better than her.

On the list, how to use it for each person is written in great detail.

Li Ran looked extremely carefully, not auditing, but learning.

After taking a closer look, Li Ran sent Mama Sang to Wang's house and told Mrs. Xie about the important person in person.

The next day, several carts pulled twenty or thirty people, entered the Chang'an Marquis Mansion from the corner gate, and lived in a small courtyard adjacent to Cuiweiju.

Several girls from the Chang'an Hou Mansion who had ordered to wait in Cuiweiju before also stayed in Cuiweiju.

This is what Mama Sang means.

These people, when they came over at that time, they couldn't pick the good ones, and none of them could get into the eyes of Mama Sang and Zi Ke Qing.

But although it is useless, it is too unsatisfactory to withdraw from all of them, it is better to wait for the marriage into the Rong'an Palace, and send it to the right place, anyway, the palace is almost empty, and people are needed everywhere.

The twenty or thirty new arrivals seem to be very familiar with Mama Sang, as well as the three of Zi Qi and Qing Qi, and they are very fast.

But after a day or two, Cuiwei Curie, in the hands of people, will be renovated.

Li Ran's side added four big girls, who were headed by Zi Eggplant, clothes and hairpins, account books and documents, each of which belonged to one person.

In addition to this, there are eight second-class and more than a dozen third-class.

Mama Sang has set up a general framework for external entertainment and internal directors, just waiting for the future to slowly make up for manpower.

Throughout September, Li Ran was studying everywhere, looking at all kinds of things she couldn't think of, making choices like passionflower, or pine, plum and bamboo, and so on.

In October, the ninth day of the first lunar month is Li Ran's birthday.

Regarding this birthday, Li Ran has long forgotten everything.

She never had a birthday consciousness.

She didn't know her birthday before, but now she does, but she can't remember it.

On her birthday, early in the morning, as soon as she sat up on the bed, she first accepted the birthday wishes of the big girl Parsley and the two little girls on duty, washed up, and kowtowed to all the girls of all sizes led by Zi Ke.

Then Mama Sang took all the housekeepers and kowtowed in rows.

This grand formation made Li Ran feel countless panicked and overwhelmed, as well as full of embarrassment and guilt.

How can she, on her birthday, be congratulated like this, and kowtow from so many people.

Fortunately, Li Ran's confusion didn't really make her messy.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ran called Zi Qi and Mama Sang over and asked quietly: Everyone kowtows to her to celebrate her birthday, should she do something? Like a meal?

Mama Sang immediately provided more than a dozen solutions, and Zi Qi nodded while listening, these are all old examples.

Li Ran listened carefully, and chose to put the reward money, as well as a bowl of longevity noodles per person.

She can understand the reward very well, similar to celebrating the company's anniversary, this celebration must be implemented in how much money everyone sends, or what is sent, before it can be regarded as a real celebration.

As for this bowl of longevity noodles, it is actually a great face, and the kind that represents luck, increases blessing and wealth and ensures safety, which makes her laugh and has countless emotions.

Li Ran has just determined how to give back to the girls and mothers-in-law for this kowtow to celebrate their birthdays, and it has been spread that the second grandmother Cao is here.

Li Ran hurriedly greeted him.

When Grandma Cao Er saw Li Ran, there were still seven or eight steps away, so she congratulated her with a smile.

"I'm here to congratulate the girl on her birthday."

"Don't dare to be." Li Ran hurriedly returned the salute, she really didn't dare to take it.

It's just a birthday.

"I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift, that is, yesterday I ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of shou noodles for the girl.

When I was a girl in my mother's house, my wife often taught us that a bowl of longevity noodles was enough for a young person's birthday.

Now our house is not happy to celebrate birthdays.

The girl has a light personality, so I didn't dare to assert myself. ”

Grandma Cao Er explained with a smile.

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best." ”

Grandma Cao Er stood under the weeping flower door, laughed with Li Ran, and then said goodbye and went back.

She is busy now and can't be divided into two halves, and when she came to celebrate her birthday, she had to hurry to her business.

As soon as Li Ran returned to the upper room, Zhou E opened the curtain and came in, and arched her hand first, "Today's birthday is your birthday, congratulations." ”

Li Ran looked at her, and she didn't know what to say.

What does congratulations mean? Congratulations on being born?

"Do you want to go out and take shelter?"

Zhou E raised her chin and asked, seeing that Li Ran was stunned by what she said, she laughed dryly.

"You are not the same as before, no one paid attention to your birthday in the past, and now, I am afraid that after a while, everyone will send you to kowtow to celebrate your birthday, and they will come to the door......"

"Let's go." Without waiting for Zhou E to finish speaking, Li Ran stood up and walked out.

Zhou E laughed and followed behind.

"Let's go through the back door. Let Sister-in-law Wu make you a bowl of longevity noodles, get a few more dishes, and let Tao Nong take the silver. ”

Zhou E followed behind, talking as she walked.

As soon as Li Ran entered Sister-in-law Wu's small courtyard, she was first pounced on by Sister-in-law Wu and her daughter Sister Xi'er, as well as a string of heads.

Then there was Tao Nong, fortunately she didn't kneel, only one blessing on the left and one blessing on the right, seven or eight blessings in a row, and the auspicious words were gushing like a spring, and Li Ran, who listened to it, simply ignored her.

Li Ran had just eaten breakfast, and Sister-in-law Wu's bowl of longevity noodles was placed in a small fine porcelain bowl, the noodles were extremely thin, just one, although it was very long, it was only one bite.

The four of them had eight eyes, watching Li Ran eat this mouthful of shou noodles, and they all looked relieved.

Sister Xi took the bowl, Sister-in-law Wu was busy moving the tea table and so on, Momonong rolled up her sleeves and began to roast tea.

"When I was young, I was most annoyed by drinking tea, why can't I understand what is so delicious about this bitter thing.

In the past few years, I have drunk and drunk, and I actually think that tea is the best.

I can't tell for sure. ”

Zhou E squinted and finished a cup of tea, and sighed.

"This tea is well brewed."

Li Ran tasted it carefully and praised it.

"In her line of work, you have to learn to make tea and warm wine, alas."

Zhou E didn't know what to think, she sighed, didn't finish her sigh, looked at Li Ran and asked, "Cuiweiju has added a lot of people." ”

Li Ran looked at her and smiled.

Cuiwei Ju Tian Ren, can she still not know? Ask this, what does she want to do?

"I don't have anything good for your birthday, otherwise, I'll give you Sister-in-law Wu."

Zhou E pointed to Sister-in-law Wu who came over with a few plates of refreshments.

Li Ran almost choked, "What's wrong?" ”

"She's been thinking about it for a long time." Tao Nong glanced at Zhou E, and couldn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.

"Sister Xi'er's family affairs, yellow."

Zhou E waited for Sister-in-law Wu to set up the refreshments and went to the kitchen before continuing.

"Why is it yellow? Because Sister-in-law Wu became a slave? Li Ran frowned and asked.

"It doesn't count."

Tao Nong rolled the tea, glanced at Zhou E, and answered:

"I told Sister-in-law Wu that it was a good thing that it was yellow at this time, and that family obviously didn't have a good idea.

In the past, they took a fancy to Sister Xi'er, it must have been because Old Man Bai was old, and after a few years when Old Man Bai died, they would be able to use Sister Xi to get Sister-in-law Wu to their house and make money for their family as a cow and a horse.

The man was a bastard, and he probably had the idea of getting the Bai family's foot shop over.

Now, Sister-in-law Wu has become General Zhou's person, giving them hundreds of guts, and they don't dare to provoke General Zhou, this family business...... Hey! ”

Momono chuckled dryly and pursed her lips.

"It's a good thing to be yellow, just find another home." Li Ran understood, and glanced at the kitchen.

"That being said, the two of them followed me, and I saw that Sister Xi was not easy to talk about."

Zhou E also glanced at the kitchen.

"I don't have any benefit here, follow me, Sister-in-law Wu has nothing to take advantage of, this thing is ......"

"Isn't that just right?"

Li Ran interrupted Zhou E's words and said unceremoniously:

"Looking at the power and benefits of the master's family, can it be a good door? If Wu's sister-in-law can make money and get married, it's not a good relationship, right? There are no benefits of either of these things, and those who are willing to marry are good people who can take a look. ”

"That's what you say...... I mean, I'm so old, and I don't have a home or a hospital, how many years can they follow me? Wait until I'm 100 years from now......"

Zhou E's tongue was knotted, and she turned to find another excuse.

"Wait until you're a hundred years from now."

Li Ran leaned at Zhou E, speechless.

Momonong laughed, and pointed at Zhou E while laughing, "Let me tell you, General Zhou has a bunch of people here, and I want to push it to you." ”

"What's there? It's just a dozen veterans, who used to be hard detectives, and they are not ordinary people, and you are using them in the gatehouse of the palace. ”

Zhou E was told by Tao Nong, but it was dry.

"Your palace is empty, if this person wants to come from the Xie family, then your palace will become the Xie mansion? It's best to get some people in from somewhere else.

Let me tell you, the same is true with leading troops, taboo gangs and factions, a team of 100 people is all fellow villagers, in the end, this team is out of control, you have to mix, a team, at least three factions, easy to manage. ”

"Don't listen to her, I'll tell you."

Tao Nong nodded at Zhou E and solemnly warned Li Ran.

"This capital, not only the capital, but even outside the capital, I don't know how many people are stretching their necks and listening to your movements with their ears up.

You have to be careful. ”

Li Ran took a deep breath.

Zhou E and Tao Nong's words have their own reasons, but she has not prepared to recruit people or anything, that palace, if it is empty, it will be empty first, and it will be filled slowly, and it will be nothing if it cannot be filled, just her and Xie Ze, now these people are enough.

"General Xie said that if people from outside want to come to me, or if they want to enter the palace, they must first pass his pass.

If you think those veterans are good, take them to General Xie, I really can't be the master.

Those people who came from Xie Mansion also passed General Xie's pass. ”

Li Ran looked at Zhou E and said.

Zhou E sighed, waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll talk about this later, drink tea and drink tea." ”

Li Ran leaned back in the chair and looked at Zhou E with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Well, you've got to think about it."

Tao Nong looked at the gloom on Li Ran's face and said with a smile:

"The people of this world, all over the world, are all laymen! Even if there are saints, all over the world, at most, there are only one or two, but most of the time, there is no real saint, and the so-called saints are all fake.

This is the case with the common people. ”

Tao Nong snorted at Zhou E.

"Look at the benefits you have here, anyway, you give this benefit to others, and give it to her, in this case, instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to her, isn't it?

If you really want to have any cheapness, you will only do it for your good, it is not for your good, it is for the greater good, and the small benefits at the moment are not in his eyes. ”

Li Ran listened intently and did not speak.

"In the past, there was no good for you, but there was trouble, and the days were quiet.

It's not the same as it used to be, so don't worry too much. ”

Tao Nong pushed a cup of tea soup to Li Ran, took a piece of sweet red bean crisp, and handed it over.

"Well, thank you."

Li Ran took the red bean crisp, took a bite, lowered her eyes and took a sip of the bitter tea soup.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, let's just entrust these people to you, but I can't do it, I'll give you the money.

You know, I can't afford to build a home, I ...... myself That's right! How did I forget that I am also a subordinate of your royal palace, and I should also receive a mission!

Hey, there's no one in your palace gatehouse, right? Why don't I be the head of this porter? ”

Li Ran choked on a mouthful of tea soup and coughed wildly.

Momono slapped the table, smiling back and forth.
