(Cat flutter Chinese ) Mother Qiao stood at the head of everyone, at the entrance of the council hall, Li Tian also returned the salute modestly, and took Yingluo and the others into the council hall, Mother Qiao hesitated, in the end did not dare to follow up directly, this princess of Jin'an County is as early as the director of the house, and she is as famous as her virtuous and gentle.

Li Tian sat down on the big kang facing south and north of the council hall, the second-class girl Lanmo knelt in front of the corner of the kang, and the movement was brisk and silent grinding ink and laying paper, the green lotus stood in front of the kang with the roster of flowers, Yingluo stood in the corner of the kang with a few second-class girls such as peach branches, Li Tian looked left and right, and saw that everything was in order, so he raised his chin to Yingluo.

The conference hall was originally a pattern between one light and two dark, but there was no partition in the middle at this time, and a large area in front of Li Tiankang seemed empty and spacious.

Yingluo walked out of the door of the conference hall, stood with her hands down, and swept her eyes unhappily and unhappily swept the dozens of housekeepers and mothers-in-law who were standing in front of her, neither staying on any one person more, nor staying on any person less, and after sweeping it, she said in a deep voice: "The princess commanded, please come in." Mama Qiao was stunned, what does this mean, come in? All these fifty or so people went in? Mama Kong and the three of them were also stunned, didn't they call the four chief stewards in first?

The second- and third-class stewards standing in the courtyard under the corridor all let in when they saw the message, some looked at Mama Qiao and the others, some hesitantly looked around and were ready to slip away, and of course, some were overjoyed and rushed to the council hall with their feet, lest they fall behind. Someone took the lead, someone followed, and after a while, more than 50 housekeepers entered the council hall, according to Yingluo's command, the second class stood in two places in the east and the third class in the west.

Li Tian sat on the kang, looked at everyone with a smile, and saw that everyone was standing, so he said slowly: "You have worked hard for the past few days." Li Tian smiled good-naturedly, and waited for everyone to flatter politely before he continued slowly: "I will speak in the future, don't interrupt at will." "The mother-in-law subconsciously wanted to answer 'yes', but before the words came out, they felt that it was wrong, and the fast action was already half of the 'yes', and the half hurriedly swallowed, lowered his hand and bowed his head.

"Well, that's it." Li Tian waited for a moment, praised with satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly as if with a smile: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of things, twenty-seven pieces of high-quality porcelain have been smashed in the front yard, and forty-three pieces have been lost, including twenty-three pieces of Ru kiln porcelain, eleven pieces of Jun kiln, five of which are imperial gifts, my dowry smashed a glass plate, and lost a pair of agate plates; There were seven fights, countless public quarrels, and as for gambling money and drinking at night, and even people were not there at all, these were even more numerous. ”

Li Tian stopped talking, reached out and took the cup handed by Yingluo, lowered her eyelids and took a sip of tea, Mama Qiao's face was blue and red when she heard this, Mama Kong kept glancing at Mama Qiao nervously, Mama Song stood motionless with her hands down, there was a tall one in front of her anyway, Mama Lu leaned at Mama Qiao, and a trace of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.

"Princess, this matter ......" Mama Qiao couldn't help but open her mouth to explain a few words, Yingluo hurriedly glanced at Li Tian timidly, and reminded in a low voice: "Mama, the princess didn't ask you." Mama Qiao's face turned red when Yingluo said a word, staring at Yingluo, with an unconcealable anger in her eyes, today this is Chengxin giving her no face!

"I don't blame you," after a while, Li Tian continued softly: "The newly opened mansion of the prince of Jin'an County has caught up with such a major event as the prince's new marriage, and it is not easy to deal with it like this, to put it mildly, to put it mildly, there are more than 500 people in the house, even if they recognize people, they have to recognize it for ten days and half a month, and they have to deal with the prince's wedding if they don't recognize it all. Li Tian's words made the full house of mothers-in-law breathe a sigh of relief, the princess is so sensible, it is really a blessing for everyone. Only Mama Qiao's face was blue and ugly, and she had to calm down after making up her mind, and wait for her to finish speaking.

"I have seen everyone's hard work in the past few days, although I have just married, I used to help my grandmother manage the family in my mother's house, I know how much the difficulties here, there are more than 500 people in our house, it is a lot, but I really know that it is not enough, but our prince, you should know better than me, the prince is the most picky and exquisite, everything is not to have a 'good' word, but to be refined, to be that sharp, so that there are more than 500 people, it is not enough." As soon as Li Tian's words fell, the mother-in-law in the hall was almost full of joy, although she didn't dare to make a sound, but you look at me, I look at you, and exchanged glances excitedly.

The people standing in the council hall are all housekeepers, not to mention a good person, they are all smarter than ordinary people, and naturally know that compared with the other three princes' mansions, the servant team of more than 500 people in the palace of Jin'an County is simply too large, but if you think about it a little more, you have to worry about such a thing as laying off people, this is simply certain, who knows that she heard such words from the mouth of the princess, not only is it not too many, but it is also not enough! Sure enough, he is a rich man, and he has so many dowries.

"Although manpower is tight, everyone also knows that if you add manpower to the house now, I'm afraid it's not very suitable." Li Tian smiled modestly and tactfully, all the mothers-in-law didn't dare to make a sound, and they all nodded to express their extreme approval of Li Tian's words, in so many people, there is really no need to add more, Li Tian glanced at everyone with a smile: "But the prince only needs that sharp, and we don't have enough manpower, doesn't this make everyone embarrassed?" Li Tian frowned and spread his hands in distress and said: "Everyone is embarrassed, isn't it me who is embarrassed?" I can't embarrass myself, so I thought about it and decided to close Wangfu West Road temporarily. ”

Li Tian smiled and looked at the mothers-in-law who were stunned by her sudden turn, slowly sipped half a cup of tea, and then continued: "The prince and I are in the house, and I won't need the west road for a while, I have discussed it with the prince, and if the new concubine comes in in the future, it will be settled along the east road first, this matter, so be it." ”

Mama Qiao's gaze at Li Tian became more and more solemn, and her originally straight back became more and more deferential, no wonder the old lady solemnly explained herself like that, this Princess Jin'an is really not simple, these words made people be in the sky for a while, and then fell down again, slapped their faces, and rubbed these housekeepers and grandmothers countless times.

"As the saying goes, there are no rules," Li Tian changed the topic: "There are no special rules in our house, but there are some rules in each house, let Mama Wen explain them to you one by one in a while, as for me, there is only one thing, I can't allow anyone to deceive me and lie to me, I can't tolerate this, as for doing something wrong, it's not a big deal, who can be without fault!" Li Tian lowered his eyelids and turned the cup in his hand, but he didn't look at anyone, but many people in the conference hall played a small drum in their hearts.

"These things that have come out of the house for a while all stem from three drawbacks, one is that there is no special management, once something happens and something is lost, I can't say who should take care of it, the second is that the population is mixed, and there is a chance to enter and exit at will, giving the villain a chance, and the third is that the bitterness and happiness are uneven, and there are clever sects to rob them, but no one is willing to do the hard work. From today on, it is clear that it will be assigned to each of you in the hands of each of you, who is in charge of what time and where, and there can be no mistake at all, but if you are wrong for a little bit, don't blame me for being polite. Li Tian's face suddenly turned cold, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

"Everyone's messengers, when the time and place of the errand, they will all go to the green lotus to check it out for a while, Mama Qiao," Li Tian finally ordered the four of Mama Qiao: "You and Mama Kong, Mama Song, and Mama Lu are still in charge, and all parts of the house must be inspected every day, and I have drafted a specific inspection detail, and let Yingluo explain it to you in a while, okay, let's do this today, Yingluo, you tell me about the rules of the hour and the time when I look at things every day." ”

"Yes," Yingluo agreed, took half a step forward, and said clearly: "Every day at the beginning of the morning, the princess at the beginning of the morning to the council hall to listen to the matter, if you want to get the right card to pay money at this hour, you have to get the right card to find the green lotus branch silver also has an hour, every day only at the beginning of the afternoon from two to two minutes at noon, if you miss it, you have to wait for the next day." For example, the oil candle in the outer study room, how many rooms in the outer study room, each oil lamp or candle, a pound of lamp oil can be used for a few hours, a candle can be burned for several hours, a candle can be burned for several hours, and so on, do you understand? ”

The mother-in-law who listened to Yingluo's words took a cool breath, no wonder that although this princess is virtuous and has a good temperament, she is a means, sure enough, according to this, this life is really not very good.

"Okay, if it's okay, let's do it for today." Li Tian slowly commanded, Mama Qiao was very anxious, what she saw today was completely unexpected, and she still had a bunch of extremely important things!

"Princess, the slave has something to report." Mama Qiao gritted her teeth and stood up, respectfully and respectfully, Li Tian smiled and motioned to her, Mama Qiao was embarrassed and motioned to the mothers-in-law, Li Tian smiled and said, "Could it be that there is something that can't be said to people?" ”

"Not really." Mama Qiao had no choice but to reply, and Li Tian said indifferently: "Then let's say it." Mama Qiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and said: "Back to the princess, Baoyan and a few other girls have made a special trip to serve the prince and the princess in their daily lives, and now they are still not placed outside, please show the princess, when will they go to the main courtyard on an errand?" ”

"Oh," Li Tian replied in a long voice: "That's the case, I'll take a look if you're called in." ”

Mama agreed, turned around and motioned to Mama Song, and after a while, Mama Song led seven or eight seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls who were extremely good-looking. Cat flutter Chinese
