Because Gu Yun said that he invited Mrs. Lou to come over today, Shen Li had to get up with Gu Yun before dawn.

Gu Yun's clothes have always been taken care of by himself, and when he saw Shen Li getting up with him, he said while tying his collar: "Why don't you sleep more, it's still early." ”

Shen Li stepped on his embroidered shoes and walked over, stretching out his hand to straighten his collar. "It's not all your fault, this kind of invitation to someone was arranged in such a hurry. I haven't met that young lady Lou before, so I have to find out a little bit about them first. Today happened to hit the day when the steward below replied, and the two ends met together, so I had to get up early. ”

Gu Yun listened to her complain good-naturedly, and his tone was soft, like a feather tickling his heart.

In late autumn, the weather outside is getting colder and colder day by day. The weather here in the Southern Regions has also changed quickly, more than a month ago, I was still living by relying on ice basins, but a month later, I already have to wear two clothes.

He took the hot handkerchief that Qingxing had wrung and wiped his face. He personally went to pick up the hot handkerchief for Shen Li and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "It's mine, no, but when you see Mrs. Lou, you will know that the worries you have before and now are superfluous." After all, you've been a housekeeper for a while, but someone is playing tricks or looking for trouble? ”

Shen Li applied a hot towel to his eyes and wiped his face carefully. When the feeling of sleepiness passed, he exhaled. "Not then, but the people you used before were powerful. The accounts and replies are also very clear, and I got started quickly thanks to their carefulness in the past. Therefore, what was given by the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, I rewarded everyone according to their merits. ”

"Yes, you can." Gu Yun thought for a while, and then said: "When the concubine is here, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks during the New Year's holidays. There are only two of us in our east courtyard now, and the work in the kitchen will not be heavy. If you want to add grace, the kitchen can consider letting them process and make a batch. ”

Shen Li's eyes lit up, this is indeed a solution.

In the past, during the Yunzhou New Year's Festival, everyone would also get together for a meal and a little wine. It's just that because the hierarchy between master and servant on weekdays is not as distinct as the family mansion, few people will think that this is a sign of grace.

"Then according to what Brother Yun said, among the people I brought with me are also cooks who know how to eat in Yanjing. These days were also very idle, but Brother Yun's method saved me a lot of effort. ”

Shen Fu probably also knew that she was very ashamed of this family affair, so the people who went south only sent two housekeepers and a few little maids. The rest are all the candidates assigned to her by the Ministry of Rites according to the county lord's grade. Whether there is a spy in this, and whether she is really dedicated to serving her as the master, Shen Li will not think about it.

Anyway, all the people in the outer courtyard were handed over to Steward He to be deployed, and the list was handed over clearly on the third day after marriage. If the Southern Regions have a heart, they naturally know how to deal with it. Anyway, as long as Gu Yun's heart is towards her, she doesn't have to be strong in everything. As for what Yan Jing thinks and how she arranges it, it's not something she can manage.

At the beginning, the subordinate officials of the East Palace behaved towards Uncle Rong, and Shen Li still remembers it clearly. It's not that she's helpless, she's just used to admitting death. Just like the caution she was when she first entered the palace, she didn't have the idea of being alone and not mixing with both sides.

But Gu Yun treats her with sincerity, and she naturally has to repay the favor. The previously arranged manpower has been distributed, and there is no result in the short term. However, the relationship between the families in the Southern Regions and the struggle between factions should be paid close attention to.

While the two of them were talking, Yinglan outside asked outside the curtain: "Breakfast has been brought over, can the son and the lady use it immediately?" ”

There are many things today, Shen Li stopped and said, "Let's swing the chopsticks, let's go over immediately." ”

There are really a lot of things outside, and Gu Yun eats breakfast faster than usual. It's just that before leaving, he was still a little uneasy and told Shen Li: "I'm in the outer courtyard, if there is anything, let Qingxing and the others go to the second gate to pass a message to Chang'an, and I will know immediately." ”

Shen Li ironed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "I know, Brother Yun, you can go with confidence." ”

Gu Yun took the cloak handed over by Qing Xing, opened the curtain and went out.

Waiting for Gu Yun's figure to disappear outside the courtyard, Fei Lu laughed in a low voice: "Childe is really attentive to Mrs., our own mansion and our own yard, and it is the family of Childe's friend who came, could it be that he can still bully you?" ”

Yinglan covered her mouth and smiled, and even the black crows laughed in unison.

Cicada Yi glanced at Shen Li's face and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids have opened their eyes since they entered the courtyard. I used to think that Childe was a dignified and solemn person, and everyone acted in front of Childe on weekdays, but they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. Now that I have seen my son like this, I know what it means to turn 100 steels into finger wrapping. ”

Xuecha also covered her chest, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "That's it, where did Childe come from like this before." When the slave was summoned, she was worried for a long time. Now I finally let go of that heart, anyway, as long as the slave and maid serve the lady well, I am not afraid of any punishment. ”

are all young girls, and Shen Li has always been a kind person. Everyone knows that even if they are occasionally funny, they will not be reprimanded.

Qingxing pursed her lips and looked at them with a smile, and then said loudly: "Childe has this heart, which is the blessing of our Wutong Academy, but we must not be arrogant because of this." Put away the playfulness, and soon the stewards who got the right cards will come in. ”

"Yes, Sister Qingxing." A few maids responded together, and each went out to prepare for the work in his hands.

When they arrived at the side hall, Lily pulled the sleeve of the black wedge, and said with a serious face: "Since the prince values the lady so much, the people under us will beat it well." Otherwise, they will have different thoughts, and they will only bring trouble to Wutong Temple in the future. ”

Wu Qian sighed and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, and we should have thought of this layer on the day our deed was handed over to our wife." It's just that the people below are always thinking about where Madame came from, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to retract. ”

Lily sneered, "That's not up to them, you also saw it, it was arranged by Childe himself." Even the son of Heyi has already returned to the side of the lady, not to mention us. Let the cicada clothes and snow tea go to sort it out, and if they are loyal but unwilling to use it for the Wutong Courtyard, they will let it out for the third master. Everyone has to work together, and there is no need to spoil each other's feelings for this. ”

Wu Qian nodded, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”

The four of them grew up together, and they went to Heyi's side again. Although Wu Qi is the oldest, she looks like the one of the four who has the idea, but in fact, only Wu Qi understands in her heart that it is okay for her to be in charge of small things, and big things must be finalized by Lily.

Lily pushed her and said with a smile: "You, you are just too soft." If others beg to squeeze a few tears, you can't harden your heart. But there's nothing wrong with that, and you can't all be evildoers, and no one is buffered in the middle. It's just that we have to recognize who our true faithful master is. Only in this way can we avoid mistakes. I don't have to worry about cicada clothes and snow tea, but sister, you have to think about it. After all, we are not better here than others, and my wife is from Yanjing. The difference between a thought and the difference of a thousand miles is a thousand miles, and none of us can afford that kind of consequence. ”

The distribution of the cards was completed before the sky lit up the yard. Shen Li rubbed his somewhat stiff shoulders, stood up and moved.

The plan of the day is in the morning, and look at how much has been done in this morning.

Wutong opened his eyes when he heard the movement, stretched on the couch next to him, and meowed at her.

Shen Li smiled and touched its head, and he didn't know why he was so obedient. As long as she is doing something, the little guy will not even make any noise, either sleeping on the side, or silently looking at the people walking inside and outside with his hands.

"Good performance, I'll reward you with a big fish later." Shen Li leaned down, rubbed its two ears again, and said with a smile.

"Meow." Sycamore meowed eagerly twice, then jumped off and took a few steps outside. Seeing that Shen Li was still in place and didn't move, he turned around and "meowed" twice.

Qingxing pursed her lips and smiled: "Madame, why bother to tease it, in order to accompany Madame this morning, I didn't even eat the food prepared by Si'er, and I was all rushed by Erxue to eat it up." ”

Shen Li's eyes were full of smiles, and he took a few steps forward and followed Wutong out of the house, and said with a smile: "Didn't Steward Wu just say that a few fresh small fish were sent?" Go and let the kitchen add two more eggs and pick the yolks and steam them together. By the way, there are also pheasants. Pick up the meat from the chicken breast, steam it and send it over. ”

"Yes, yes." Qingxing responded with a smile, "Now the people below are saying that Wutong didn't know how many blessings he had accumulated in his previous life, so he met a master like Madame, and he was very envious between his words." ”

"What am I, where can I be as much as one-tenth of Uncle Rong's. The water that Bai Xue drinks is boiled from the best mountain spring water of the day. I'm just giving it to the sycamore, and I'm a little more careful in eating. Shen Li smiled disapprecitately.

Qingxing didn't argue, but just summoned the little maid to give a careful order, and then said to Shen Li: "Madame, you have to go and rest first, you have just consumed a lot of energy, and you will have to entertain Mrs. Lou later." ”

Shen Li shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I don't have to sleep deeply, but I won't have energy later." You go and make a pot of black plum tea, and then ask Yinglan to bring a few plates of small snacks made a few days ago. ”

Qing Xing smiled and nodded, "That's fine, but you can't use it too much." The owner of the village has specially instructed the slaves and maids to watch you avoid spicy, raw and cold food. It's a red bean cake, and the slave can serve it on a plate when he sees it. Yinglan has also spent a lot of effort on this in the past few days, and the taste must be different from before. “

At the mention of Rong Yin, the look on Shen Li's face didn't know how much gentle. She stretched out her finger and nodded the green apricot, and snorted in her nose. "Knowing that you are the little housekeeper sent by Uncle Rong, how dare I say anything. You go and watch it, I'll wait in the room for your arrangement. ”
