"It's a rule about the affairs of the house." Jin Ran handed a thick green booklet to the head of the big butler: "Take a closer look, if there is anything you don't understand, just come to me." ”

The chief butler is the most loyal, but he is also an old man of the Zhang family for decades, seeing Jinran's sharp methods, not only is he not afraid, but he is sincerely happy for the little master's methods.

He respectfully took the booklet in Jin Ran's hand, opened it and read it carefully.

The hairpin is particularly beautiful, but the content of its writing is like a thunderbolt, and every word has its harshness. From the daily food and clothing of the master's maids, to the silver and two advance regulations for the daily purchase of vegetables and fruits, and even some small soy sauce procurement rules and regulations are also listed, the big housekeeper's eyelids jump, and his heart is also extremely surging.

Although it is estimated that after a while, those treacherous minions will come up with some ways to continue to cheat and cheat, but compared to the previous loose rules and regulations, the unconsciousness in this booklet avoids many bad situations. At least it can make the atmosphere in the house clear.

However....... it is inevitable that such a strict will not make the master fall into the reputation of treating his subordinates harshly, although the master has been given the emperor to marry General Fang, but she has not yet married, it is not a good thing to have such a reputation in the boudoir.

The thought in the housekeeper's heart turned, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade: "County Lord, although this method is good, it is inevitable that it is a little unkind, and the maids and boys in the house are all old people in the house, so ......." He did not speak in the following words, but Jin Ran knew his unfulfilled meaning: it was inevitable that it was a little unauthentic.

Jin Ran watched as these stewards under his command slowly spread the manual, and slowly spoke: "I understand what you mean, I know that you all think that this booklet is inevitably too strict, but there must be rewards for punishments, after all, rewards and punishments are clear." ”

Jin Ran smiled and said the following words: "From the beginning of the new year to the end of the year, there will be a certain reward according to your personal performance, let me give you an example, for example, Zhang Lao Butler, your salary for a year is two hundred taels, if there is nothing wrong with the part you are responsible for this year, you will be given one-tenth of your salary as a red envelope, and other rewards, etc., well, there are two hundred and fifty taels a year." ”

As soon as Jin Ran's words came out, all the stewards below, including the chief housekeeper, were all heartbroken, the red seal of fifty taels, they couldn't be greedy so much, and these fifty taels were seriously rewarded by the master's family, and they didn't have to worry about being found out, and the source of the silver was also righteous and bright, which was a good thing.

There are ready-made interests, and these stewards have nothing to say, they all sigh and be wise in front of Jinran, and they look like they are willing to be ruthless. They all took their share of the tasks to be done and went down to arrange them.

Jin Ran asked someone to reorganize the Zhuangzi inside and out, and by the time she finally brought someone to live in, it was already the first month.

Although Jin Ran is going to live in the county lord's mansion according to royal practice, she is also a person with parents and brothers, and Yun Ying is unmarried, so it is not safe to live alone, just go to the county lord's mansion to live for a few days, and most of the time she still lives with her parents in Zhang's mansion.

On this day, Jin Ran was enjoying the flowers in the back mountain of the county lord's mansion, but he saw a small guy in his house hurriedly running to the inner courtyard, shouting while running: "County lord!" Princess! There is a decree in the palace! Tell the county lord to enter the palace to worship the Buddha! ”

Jin Ran hurriedly asked Li Ying to pull the little guy: "Worship the Buddha? Is it Concubine Fang? Why did you suddenly enter the palace? ”

This little guy didn't know anything, but replied: "This ....... this...... The little one is not clear, the father-in-law in the palace came to announce that he wanted Miss to enter the palace quickly, but he only said that it was a Buddha, and he did not say which lady it was. It is estimated that the one who is looking for you to enter the palace is Fang Guifei Niangniang, right? ”

Jin Ran is also at a loss, after all, now that the first month has risen, if it is too late to worship the Buddha, the time is really embarrassing. And if Concubine Fang summons herself to speak in the past day, she will send a letter at least one day in advance, and she will never let people into the palace in such a hurry.

But the intention to enter the palace was not to be faked, and the father-in-law who came kept urging, so Jin Ran had to hurriedly put on a small cloak embroidered with thin velvet moon and white red plums, and hurried into the palace.

Jin Ran also kept asking the little father-in-law carrying the sedan chair along the way, but today these fathers-in-law were very strict, and they didn't say anything about it, just said that they would let the county lord enter the palace to worship the Buddha.

Seeing this, Jin Ran couldn't do anything, so he had to enter the palace with a worried heart.

The sedan chair stopped when it was carried to the palace gate, and the rest of the way needed to be walked by Jinran herself, and the maid who came to pick her up at the gate of the palace gate turned out to be Qingxi beside the queen!

Jin Ran was very surprised, she guessed all the way when she came, and even felt that maybe Bai Mo sent someone to call her, but she never expected that it was the queen, the queen had no relationship with her, and secondly, she had not offended the queen, why did the queen call herself into the palace today?

Although Jin Ran was full of doubts, she was embarrassed to ask in the deep courtyard of the palace, so she had to swallow all the questions in her stomach, just waiting to see the move, and now she didn't even know the real purpose of the queen calling her to come, and it was impossible to take the initiative to attack.

"Come, county lord, you go this way." That Qingxi is very polite, and kindly leads the way for Jinran, she is funny and humorous along the way, and from time to time introduces the small stories and small things of the various palaces in the palace for Jinran, which makes people feel a lot more relaxed.

But this girl's mouth is also very strict, all the way back and forth, Jin Ran and her also talked all the way, Qingxi only said that the queen invited the county to worship the Buddha, and did not say a word about the other words, which way to worship the gods and Buddhas, what to do, how to do it, not a word was revealed.

Jin Ran didn't believe that the queen just invited herself to worship the Buddha, after all, there were so many princesses and county lords in the Hua Dynasty, if it was a serious royal ceremony, everyone should be called to the palace for a serious ceremony, not just a small county lord who had just been canonized, and even a post would not be lower.

The more Jin Ran pondered about it, the more he felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and he might not be able to leave directly, so he could only continue to follow this Qingxi with a hard head, secretly thinking about how to ask for help from Fang Guifei of the Yikun Palace.

The two walked for a while, and Jin Ran patronized and thought about what was in her heart, and she didn't notice where she went, but she was sure that it was definitely not Jingyang Palace. Along the way, I went further and further, and I had already deviated from the scope of the main hall.

Jin Ran was also secretly wary in her heart, she was also followed by Li Ying, and she was also a serious county lord, this queen would not throw herself to that side hall to find someone to beat, it is estimated that it is some more insidious method.

"Okay girl, this Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas has arrived." This Qingxi brought Jinran to a somewhat dilapidated palace, this palace is like a hall building system, there is only one hall in a courtyard, the rest are empty, the courtyard is randomly planted with some old trees, but none of them are evergreen varieties in winter, in winter, the leaves of these trees are also gone, only the empty black branches are stretched out with teeth and claws.

It licked a little desolation to this yard.

"Come in, girl, it's cold outside, this queen mother has specially advised, the girl is the brother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Concubine Fang, the gold is very expensive, and the slave maid wants to take the girl to the temple to worship the Buddha!" It's good that Qingxi didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, the purpose of the queen's move was exposed, and he just attacked the other concubine by beating Jinran.

Qingxi pretended to be well-behaved, and introduced the two masters and servants of Jinran into the hall, this hall does not know how long no one has come, and it has not been cleaned, although there is a statue of a big Buddha in the center, but its golden body is also mottled, the ground, the curtain is also dusty, and even the eaves have spider webs, which is particularly desolate and desolate.

It turned out that the outside of the temple was better than the inside of the temple.

Jin Ran also secretly admired this queen mother in her heart, in order to toss herself, she was able to find such a palace, and it was difficult for her to find such a Buddhist hall that had not been cleaned much in many gorgeous palaces in the Hua Dynasty.

"Dare to ask the girl, how should I worship the Buddha in such a hall? Wipe the golden body of the Buddha? Jin Ran was really funny in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

That Qingxi is also stable and has a very thick skin, it is estimated that the queen is a henchman selected according to her thin skin, she opened her mouth and explained with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is a Buddha in the heart, there is naturally a Buddha, the queen has worked hard to find this kind of place, she wants to teach the county lord your true way of respecting the Buddha." ”

Jin Ran was speechless when she said this, this Qingxi made up her mind to trap Jin Ran in this hall, no matter how clearly Jin Ran argued, she could say this sinister intention as the queen's painstaking intentions.

"The county lord should hurry up and bow to the Buddha." Na Qingxi sent people to send a lot of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a Buddhist scripture: "Seeing that this first month has passed, the new year needs to warn the gods and Buddhas, and I hope that the county lord can copy a hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra." Giving it to the ancestors in the coming day can be regarded as a reflection of the girl's filial piety, so that the royal ancestors can recognize you, the county lord! ”

What is it to ask the ancestors of the royal family to recognize people, this is very ironic, and it is clearly and secretly pointed out that Jin Ran is just a county lord who was recognized halfway. It's not a serious royal child at all.

On the surface, it reflects the queen's concern, but in fact, this is very damaging. Li Ying on the side was so angry that he trembled, and his fingernails pinched out blood-red crescents in the palms of his hands.

Jin Ran had already expected the degree of disgusting of the queen, she was only blessed with a blessed body, and Qingxi couldn't see any joy and anger from her indifferent face.

She smiled and motioned for a thin cushion on the ground: "The queen mother specially asked me to prepare a mat for the county lord, I am afraid that you will hurt your knee when you kneel to copy the scriptures, ouch, the queen mother is really distressed by the county lord!" ”
