Chapter VI New Regulations
At three o'clock on the second day, Nan Lingmo was reading a book in the house, and Mama Qian entered the door and said, "County Lord, the housekeeper is here with a human tooth, and he is waiting in the courtyard." ”
Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, heard Mama Qian say yesterday that there was a shortage of people in the county lord's courtyard, and there was only one big girl by his side, so he went out early in the morning to find someone to bring the girl to the door.
As soon as Nanling Mo appeared at the door of the main hall, everyone in the courtyard immediately leaned over to say goodbye. Nanling Mo said lazily: "Get up!" ”
Nan Lingmo glanced at the people standing in the courtyard, and looked at the housekeeper Uncle Fu, who immediately stepped forward and replied: "Back to the county lord, this is the Yapo Wang family of the sincerity tooth line that our major families in Beijing have made good use of, and it has been more than ten years, and they know the needs of the family best, and many people in our house are also provided by the sincerity tooth shop." ”
Nan Lingmo nodded, didn't speak, just walked down the steps slowly, looked at those girls, and the princess said flatteringly: "County Lord, you see that these twenty are all extremely outstanding big girls, their appearance is naturally not to say, the rules and etiquette are also excellent, these girls and slaves have personally adjusted the rules for half a year." You see this girl's name is Musk Yue, not only has excellent etiquette, but also poetry and books are quite popular......"
Nanling Mo frowned after hearing this, and said coldly: "Mother-in-law Wang, the county lord is looking for a big girl, not the official lady who came to accompany the county lord to drink tea." ”
Although the big maid of the palace is comparable to the housekeeper of a low-level official's housekeeper, the person who serves her naturally cannot be a delicate girl who does not touch the spring water and can only chant the wind and willows.
"Yes, yes," the princess touched a nail coldly, and did not dare to speak again. Standing on the side and waiting for Nanling Mo to choose.
"Those of you who can read and hyphenate will take a step forward." Nan Lingmo pointed to the two rows of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls and said. I saw six or seven people standing up sporadically, including the woman named "Musk Moon". She had a haughty look on her face, as if the county lord's big girl belonged to him.
Nan Lingmo looked at her appearance, sneered in her heart, and said again: "Among you who are rough in medicine, take a step forward." I saw that Musk Yue's face suddenly turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and stood in place unwillingly, Nan Lingmo carefully looked at her sleeves, as if she was faintly trembling slightly.
After saying this, there was only one person left among the six or seven people. That girl's appearance is still delicate, but because of a little bad influence, the skin is slightly rough and dull. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is not as tall as a normal person, and she looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
"That's it." Nan Lingmo said, "The lord of this county doesn't like a lot of people, there is already a big girl, and one more is enough." After speaking, he picked two honest-looking girls among the second-class girls, and four third-class girls, and asked the housekeeper Uncle Fu to send his mother-in-law out.
Mama Qian handed the deed of sale of the girl who stayed behind to Nan Lingmo, and Nan Lingmo looked at it and asked her to put it away. Mama Qian leaned in front of Nanling Mo and said: "County Lord, according to the rules of the palace, you must have two housekeepers, four big maids, eight second-class maids, twelve third-class maids, and six rough envoys. You've got too few people to pick, right?! You don't have as many people here as the eldest lady! Why don't you think about adding two little girls? ”
"Mama, I don't like a lot of people, too miscellaneous, there were three second-class girls in the yard, four third-class girls, and two rough women-in-law, I only need two first-class girls, four second-class girls, six third-class girls, you see all the girls in the yard will send me those restless!" Nanling Mo said coldly and walked to the back room.
"Green willow, notify everyone to gather in the courtyard in half an hour." "Yes." After hearing this, Green Willow went down to give the order.
Soon half an hour passed, and the green willow helped Nan Lingmo to the front hall, Nan Lingmo looked coldly at the dozen or so people in the courtyard, and said coldly: "The one you stay here today is the person in this Lingmo Courtyard, and in the future, the princess will give you one more copy of the moon silver that the county lord will give you, you can not be smart and skillful, but there is one thing that must be remembered, that is, loyalty, if the county lord finds out that any of you have two hearts, stealing and playing tricks, it will be like this dagger!" As he spoke, Nan Lingmo took out a dagger, exhausted his internal strength, and with a "bang", everyone saw that the dagger was broken in two.
Everyone turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Slaves and maids are absolutely loyal to serve the county lord, and they will never dare to betray the lord and be ungrateful." ”
"What's the name of your new arrivals?" Nan Lingmo asked.
"Slaves and maids, please give your name to your master." Everyone said in unison.
"That being the case, then the first-class girl next to me starts with the word 'Mei', and the rest takes one of the words in your real name as the name, the second-class girl starts with the word 'Qin', and the third-class girl starts with 'Cai'."
"Slave maid: Mei Qian/Mei Xi knocks on the name of the county lord." Green willow, oh no, Mei Qian/Mei Xi both knelt and kowtowed.
"Slave maid: Qinyun / Qinhong / Qinyue / Qinzhu knock on the name of the county lord." The four second-class girls also knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"Slave maid: Cai Ping/Cai Yu/Cai Huan/Cai Ying/Cai Qing/Cai Lan and thank the county lord for his name." The six third-class girls also knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving. Among the maids, the name of the red was changed to blue
"Mama Qian is the person next to the county lord's mother, she has been taking care of the county lord for six years, and now she is the housekeeper of Lingmo Academy, do you understand?" "Yes." After Nan Lingmo said these words, she went back to the room. Mama Qian was familiar with the road and let everyone disperse to perform their duties.
When Zhennan Princess Jiang Shiqingrou married into the Zhennan Palace, she married two grandmothers and four first-class girls, the dead and injured who died over the years, and the married people who were released to support the elderly, and now Mama Qian, who is with Nanling Mo, and Mama Zhou, who is with Nanling Xiao, are the remaining two first-class girls. Her husband was originally a small soldier in the army of King Zhennan, but he died in various battles in southern Xinjiang within less than two years of marriage. Both of them have no children and no support, and the Jiang family took pity on their poor background, and arranged for the two of them to take care of them and be housekeepers. After Jiang's serious illness, he sent Mama Qian to Nanling Mo, and Mama Zhou to Nanling Xiao, to protect his brother and sister as they grew up. Naturally, Mama Qian became the housekeeper of Lingmo Courtyard.
"Mama Qian, I have changed to a new person this time, and I don't know if there is Zhang's eyes in it, you have to keep an eye on it more. I thought, in order to prevent people with intentions from being demons in the yard, the rules in our yard have to be changed again. Otherwise, with these pairs of eyes of our door, we can't keep an eye on the people below. Nanling Mo said lightly.
"What good ideas does the county lord have?" Mama Qian's eyes lit up and asked.
Nanling Mo said with a smile: "After a while, you will pass the order, the first-class maids around the county lord will all wear light purple dresses with light purple headbands, the second-class maids will wear light blue dresses with light blue headbands, and the third-class maids will all wear light blue dresses with light blue hairbands; The first-class maid is only in charge of me and all things in the back room; The second-class maid can only take care of the affairs of the front hall and the flower hall, and is not allowed to enter the back room; The third-class girl only cares about the flowers and plants in the courtyard and the cleaning in the courtyard. The two mothers-in-law were only in charge of the kitchen and the janitor. In my house, except for Mei Qian and Mei Xi, only you can enter the house, the second-class maid cannot enter the inner courtyard of the inner house, and the third-class maid cannot enter the main hall and flower hall. ”
"This method is good, so that the things in your house will only be known by the two personal girls. It would not be so easy for the little man to frame the county lord. "Mama Qian couldn't help nodding her head and praised, and said in her heart: 'Miss is too kind-hearted, and she disdains the battle in the backyard to unfortunately die early.
"Then the county lord, what if the old lady or the prince pass the word in such a way?" Mei Qian asked.
"This is easy to do, among the second-class girls and third-class girls, one person is designated to be used for communication, and the person who comes passes it to the third-class maid, and the maid will pass it to the designated second-class maid, and then the designated second-class maid will pass it to the two of you."
"Then what if the messenger is not there for a while?" Mei Xi asked.
"This is easy to do, if the messenger is not there, then someone else will call the two of you to the gate of the courtyard, and let the messenger personally tell you if there is anything to say."
"Isn't the master afraid that they will exchange news?" Mama Qian asked again.
Nanling Mo said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Mama Qian, these second-class and third-class maids have to rely on your sharp eyes to identify, you can designate it." Most of the monthly money for the designated messenger girl is hung to let them supervise each other. If the girl who is talking to the girl in the same room or someone else communicates with each other, then sell it directly! ”
Mama Qian and the two big girls nodded again and again after hearing this, especially Mei Xi, this new maid has a new understanding of Nanling Mo, the new master, and is busy opening the warehouse to remove materials, according to Nanling Mo's meaning, the whole yard dresses up to emphasize the new rules.
It is true that Nanling Mo is indeed a county lord, but no one knows that her core has been replaced by Li Yunqing. Who is Li Yunqing, the first female teacher of the first emperor. Although Li Yunqing is frail, he has never practiced martial arts. However, for the art of war in the history books, the strategy of the court bureau is not inferior to any man in the Dayan Kingdom, and it is said that he even holds the Shadow Pavilion in his hand to probe any intelligence secrets in and around the Dayan Kingdom. Since he can help King Ping Yun Tianfeng, who has a relatively low family background, to ascend to the throne, it is impossible to do it without a little skill. Otherwise, it is not enough to rely on unparalleled intelligence. What's more, Princess Ping, who has been in six and a half years, and the queen who has been in three and a half years is not in vain. These methods are a piece of cake to deal with the people in the back house. It's a pity that when Yun Tianfeng ascended the throne and became the emperor, Li Yunqing wholeheartedly planned to be a virtuous queen, only thinking about spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, completely relaxing, and paying too much attention to the so-called feelings, so that he ended up like that.
The events of the previous life were replayed in Nanling Mo's mind over and over again, Nanling Mo opened her eyes, and a ruthless look burst out in her eyes, "Yun Tianfeng, Xie Wanru, Yingzhi, and those who killed the Li family, you wait, I, Li Yunqing, must seek justice for more than 300 people in my Zhenguo Mansion!" You will die without a place to bury! I'm going to have you poked you to the bone! ”
