Chapter 333: The Head of the Family
"Lu Ming greets all the readers!", Lu Ming stepped forward to salute.
"Good morning, Lord Wenhou!"
"I heard that Liang Jun gave the champion a Wenhou Mansion last night, and I and other scholars have admired the name for a long time, so I came to see it today, and I took the liberty to ask for forgiveness. ”
Lu Ming immediately said: "You are really too polite, it's just that Xiaosheng just moved in last night, and he hasn't had time to prepare tea to entertain you, so I'm really embarrassed." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just waiting for the neighbors to visit, and the champion doesn't have to worry about not going. ”
"If you don't dislike it, you might as well come in and visit the Wenhou Mansion!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for your wedding day we have time to visit, today our neighbors only come to greet, nothing else, if there is a need to summon in the future. ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
"Now that we have seen the courtesy, I will take my leave. ”
Everyone exchanged a few words with Lu Ming, but they didn't dare to disturb more, and after saying hello, they left one after another.
Lu Ming had time to greet Yang Xiuyuan, and said apologetically: "Scholar, you have been waiting for a long time. ”
"It's okay, the old man just came to see you today. ”
Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The Wenhou Mansion rewarded by this monarch is really magnificent, but if such a large mansion is not taken care of by someone, it is not in line with your Wenhou status." ”
"I'm also worried about this matter, the king's holy decree gives marriage, and when the time comes, I will have to entertain civil and military officials and scholars, and I have to exhaust myself to death when I am busy with this. Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
"Haha...... The old man is here to solve your urgent needs. ”
Yang Xiuyuan continued: "The old man specially selected some long-term followers for you this morning, all of whom were introduced by my acquaintances to work, so you can rest assured that you can hire them." ”
Lu Ming was immediately extremely moved when he heard this, Yang Xiuyuan was simply too good to himself, and he always sent charcoal in the snow at critical moments.
"It's hard to bother with the university again!"
"What are you polite to me? ”
Yang Xiuyuan didn't care about this, and waved his hand to the entourage behind him: "Why don't you come to greet Lord Wenhou?"
More than thirty attendants immediately stepped forward and saluted: "See Lord Wenhou!"
"You're polite, please take care of me in the future. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Seeing that Lu Ming was polite and polite, and not as arrogant and uninhibited as those families, they did not treat their subordinates as human beings, and they suddenly had a good feeling in their hearts.
Lu Ming's eyes swept over these entourages, there were men and women, all in their twenties, all of them were ordinary ordinary people.
Yang Xiuyuan introduced to Lu Ming: "This is Li Yu, the housekeeper selected by the old man for you, this is the bookkeeper, these are the chefs, this is the coachman, and these are the handymen......"
After the introduction, Yang Xiuyuan continued: "These people are their own people, and they will never be unfavorable to you, you can rest assured, the old man assures you." ”
Lu Ming nodded lightly when he heard this, Yang Xiuyuan was thoughtful, and it was better to use acquaintances to do things than to use other strangers.
"The four princes have ordered someone to create a plaque for you, and the old man will write the inscription and hang it on your wedding day. ”
"Then there's work. Lu Ming said gratefully.
"The old man wants to go back to Yanzhou to deal with official business, and then go back to Jingzhou in a few days to participate in the birthday of the first assistant, you will arrange the affairs of the house in the next few days, and take Lin Xiaoyan over before the New Year, and the monarch will give marriage, this matter can not be sloppy." ”
"You can rest assured, Xiaosheng has its own arrangements. ”
Lu Ming immediately arched his hand: "You are on official business, I won't keep you, please take care!"
"Lu Ming, Liang Guo will rely on you to hold up a piece of the sky in the future!"
Yang Xiuyuan solemnly patted Lu Ming's shoulder, nodded lightly with great meaning, and then left with a steady step.
Lu Ming sent Yang Xiuyuan away, and then said to Li Yu: "Brother Li Yu, you should settle down in the mansion first." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
When Li Yu heard Lu Ming call himself a brother, his heart suddenly blossomed, but as soon as he realized the identity of his subordinate, he immediately said respectfully: "If there is an order, the villains will definitely do their best." ”
"I have a hundred taels of silver for my daily expenses, so you can use it to buy a mansion for me first. ”
"Yes. ”
"Go ahead!"
Li Yu led his entourage to settle down in the house first, and then began their respective work, either cleaning the room, or going out to buy vegetables and prepare lunch, or carrying water and chopping firewood, and they were busy.
Lu Ming yawned, stretched slightly, glanced around, and thought in his heart: "The place of Wenhou Mansion is not small, I should first familiarize myself with the environment, and set up a separate study room to study hard." ”
Thinking of this, Lu Ming began to wander aimlessly, looking at every room in the mansion.
I have to say that the mansion given by Liang Jun is simply a big deal, there are no less than 100 houses alone, the living room is bigger and more magnificent, and even the kitchen has a big stove.
At noon, the people prepared a good meal on the table, and Lu Ming stood in the center of the hall as the head of the family, and said to everyone: "As the so-called state has national laws, and families have family rules, I have a few words to say before the lunch starts." ”
Li Yu said respectfully: "Please give the master's orders, and the villains will listen to them." ”
Lu Ming continued: "First, although I am a marquis of the title of Wenhou from the monarch, and my status is equivalent to that of a third-grade master, there are only a few people in our mansion, and in addition to entertaining guests, we must put on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and we should be frugal on weekdays. ”
"Yes. Li Yu bowed and nodded.
"Second, all the people in my house are not allowed to rely on my name to bully others, do evil, and if they violate it, they will directly cover up and leave. ”
Li Yu said: "Master, please rest assured, these words have already been instructed by the scholars, you are of good character, we will never learn from those families who are arrogant and ruin your reputation." ”
"So much for the best. ”
Lu Ming continued: "Third, from now on, we are a family, a family should support each other, help each other, and you are not allowed to have conflicts, if there is really any conflict, you can tell me." ”
Everyone nodded lightly and took note of what Lu Ming said.
"Alright, let's sit down and eat together. ”
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he sat down, but the others were very hesitant, not knowing whether they should sit with Lu Ming.
Because in the Holy Forest Continent, people with different statuses can't sit together, not to mention that they are subordinates, Lu Ming is a Wenhou with the same status as a member of the three ranks, and a Wenhou in the hall eats at the same table with his subordinates, which is against the etiquette law.
"Why? Don't you want to?"
"Where do we dare to ......", Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Brother Li Yu, who is the head of the family?", Lu Ming asked.
"Of course it's you. ”
"The head of the house tells you to sit, so you have to sit down and eat together!" Lu Ming said solemnly.
"This ......"
"If anyone violates you, you will all be punished for not being allowed to eat until you sit down like me now." ”
"Master, ...... you are"
Li Yu was immediately moved, what kind of family head is this, and he would treat his family's subordinates like this?
The others looked at each other, tears faintly in the corners of their eyes.
