Chapter 53: The Assistant
Facing Luo Yelin's not very good questioning, the housekeeper owed a little and made an apologetic gesture.
It's just that his head is not completely lowered, and even his eyes have been falling on Luo Yelin's face, looking at every bit of his expression.
After realizing that Luo Yelin didn't seem to have thought of including An Juan in the mansion, the housekeeper lowered his head, changed his expression slightly, and spoke eagerly: "Lord Wang, don't blame me for speaking badly...... Although Miss Na'an was born with a good appearance, her status is too low, if the prince brings her in first, the future concubine Niangniang is estimated to be very dissatisfied, and this is not good for the reputation of the prince......"
Speaking of this, the butler's eyes rolled, and suddenly something came to mind.
So he pinched his throat and thought about the problem from Luo Yelin's point of view with a caring face: "Prince, with all due respect, although you are the prince, you are also a member of the royal family, and you are also the royal brother, whether it is now or in the future, you should marry the daughter of an important minister, and it can be regarded as strengthening your power." ”
As soon as his words fell, Luo Yelin frowned a little unhappily: "How did you know that this king must marry a woman he doesn't know as a concubine?" This king is not like the royal brother who needs to balance the court, so this king can marry whoever he wants, isn't it a normal thing? ”
Speaking of this, Luo Yelin was a little indignant, so after pausing for a while, he resumed his words: "And this king knows what he thinks in his heart, either he doesn't marry Miss An, and if he marries her, he will naturally give her the best everything." ”
Seeing that the butler's face stopped talking, and he opened his mouth to say a few more words, Luo Yelin hurriedly stopped him: "This king also knows that what the housekeeper said is for the good of this king, but this king's mind has already been ......" He said this, and suddenly changed the topic: "This king is a little tired, so he went back to sleep." ”
After sending Luo Yelin into the house, watching him lying on the bed with his clothes, and pulling the bed curtain for him, the housekeeper tiptoed out of the dormitory.
It's just that after leaving, he didn't go to command his subordinates to continue working, nor did he go back to his bed to rest, but went straight to Luo Yelin's study.
Luo Yelin has no interest in staying in the study all the time, so he rarely uses the things in the study, and there is nothing in the wall cracks and drawers in the study.
The housekeeper had the key to the study, so it was now a breeze to walk in.
He pulled out a piece of paper from the shelf next to him, sharpened the ink for himself, and waited for half an hour before finally lifting the pen and writing the first word.
When others write letters, they will use Chinese characters to express the meaning they want to express, but the butler's words are more like hieroglyphs......
After drawing a bunch of patterns, he cleaned up all the things in the study, then rolled up the paper, and walked quickly to the edge of the palace with it in his hand.
After a whistle, there was a fluttering of wings in the otherwise silent sky, and the butler squinted his eyes and looked at the source of the sound, and found that it was indeed the pigeon he wanted.
He stuffed the paper in his hand into a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and released it again.
It was not until the pigeon had completely left the butler's sight and disappeared into the distant sky that he breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to his room, undressed and went to bed.
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yelin remembered to prepare an assistant for An Juan when he was having breakfast.
So he directly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and while he remembered this incident, he quickly told the housekeeper: "The helper I asked you to pick yesterday will be sent to Miss An's hotel when you have time." ”
“…… Forget it, you don't want to go, I'll go. Luo Yelin remembered what the housekeeper said last night, and always felt that the old housekeeper didn't seem to like An Juan very much...... Well, he's better to go himself.
Just as An Juan was cleaning up the table, Luo Yelin came over early in the morning, followed by several women who looked martial.
She glanced at them suspiciously, and then set her eyes on Luo Yelin.
Luo Yelin also began to explain with understanding: "This king has found out that there are a lot of things in your hotel these days, and the two of you can't be busy, so I found a few helpers, and I can usually work in the kitchen." ”
"You all step forward and let Miss An take a good look at you." Luo Yelin then commanded.
As soon as his words fell, the five big and three thick women all took a step forward in unison, standing in front of An Juan like a wall.
"Miss Ann can pick one or two of them."
"Uh......" An Juan really didn't want to make a choice, but Luo Yelin was looking at her with burning eyes from the side, and she really couldn't shirk it, so she carefully observed the expressions of these women, and finally chose one that looked honest.
After leaving her behind, Luo Yelin let the others leave.
The two of them signed a contract with the woman.
After watching An Juan press her handprint on the contract, the woman's face and expression changed in an instant, from the original indifference to respect.
"Miss An, is there anything you need me to do?"
Her enthusiasm An Juan couldn't stand it, so she simply pushed her to Nie Ying: "Brother Nie is cooking in the kitchen, you go and see if there is a place to use human hands." ”
When Luo Yelin chose a helper, his mind was full of "men and women are different", so when the housekeeper asked, he did not hesitate to choose a few women.
But Nie Ying is a man, and the woman who came suddenly is also "different from men and women", and the woman's figure is strong, and the two of them often collide in the small kitchen.
After a while, Nie Ying escaped and complained to An Juan about the pressure in her heart.
“…… Forget it, let her follow me. An Juan sighed, called the woman to her side, and asked her to run more errands and pick vegetables, and she didn't have to go to the kitchen again.
Luo Yelin ordered a few dishes, and then went upstairs to the private room.
Before going upstairs, Luo Yelin held the handrail of the stairs and looked back at An Juan.
She was busy cleaning up the table.
Luo Yelin thought about it, turned around and walked back directly, and said to An Juan: "Miss An, can you go upstairs with this king for a while?" This king has an important time to tell you. ”
The important thing?
An Juan shook off the oily rag in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, when I wash my hands, I will go upstairs with the prince." ”
Soon An Juan got her hands and rags in order, and went to the private room with Luo Yelin.
The two of them walked to the door of the box, Luo Yelin opened the door first and invited An Juan to enter, and then followed him into the door, and turned around and closed the door without hesitation.
He then walked over to the chair across from Anwan and sat down face to face with her.
"What does the prince want to say?" An Wan asked.
