As soon as Whelan gave the order, the maids went to call someone. Alas, she is a dick and has also begun to degenerate, and Whelan secretly spits on herself.

There were three people, one man and two women. I haven't looked carefully for a few days, Mother Wang, Steward Li, and the mother I saw before, they are all visibly haggard. Whelan asked them to sit down, and asked the maid to pour tea, and they all said a few polite words and then went to goodness.

"You've all worked hard these days. No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat and rest, your body matters. When my father's big event is over, I thank you so much. "Whelan is sincere. She is a Xibei goods, and she enjoys the great blessings and wealth left by her father, but because of her young age and poor health and weak heart, she can't even do what he is after, and she is ashamed. The few in front of me, Steward Li and Mother Yue, as well as the previous Zhou Youcai, Steward Zhou, are all father's companions and maids from childhood to adulthood, and Wang's mother is her mother's maid since she was a child, and she is still Huilan's nurse when she marries her. Mother Yue married Uncle Zhou, Mother Wang married Uncle Li, the two of them are confidants among the henchmen, otherwise my father would not have left them to her. They are all intimate people of their father and mother, and they do not lose the feelings of her original body and father and mother. For them, she is respected as half an elder.

How could a few capable housekeepers and stewards not feel the sincere concern of the little master.

"Thank you for the girl's concern, it's all what the old slaves should do, and they don't deserve the girl's praise and thanks." Steward Li was moved, "The girl is weak, so she must take good care of it." Hello, the old lady can rest assured, and the old slaves can rest assured. Now, the girl is the backbone of the Li family, and with you, the Li family is still there. ”

Wang's mother and mother-in-law echoed each other, persuading her not to be too sad and to take care of her body.

"I know I'm going to take care of myself. You also have to be good, and the Li family can't live without you. ”

The master and servant exchanged hearts and said a few more homely words. Steward Li took the initiative to ask Huilan to show her the matter of moving and sorting out the belongings and things at home. Wang's mother also said that this matter is complicated and trivial, and there are too many involved, so we must start as soon as possible, so as not to miss the deadline or lack the imperial gifts, which will not be good. Steward Li and Mother Yue also nodded in approval.

Whelan nodded with a headache, "What you said makes sense, this is a big deal, we must start as soon as possible." It's just that my uncle and aunt are going to return to their hometown in the next few days, so I have to prepare gifts for my grandfather's house and things for my uncle and aunt to use on the road. It is rude not to carry things and sweep the dust in front of the guests. ”

When they heard this, they looked at each other, and Steward Li said, "What the girl said is that the old slaves didn't think it through. ”

Huilan waved his hand, "Uncle only mentioned it to me this morning, and you don't know it, so I don't blame you." After a pause, Whelan looked at them and smiled meaningfully (it's a pity that others only saw cute!). "My uncle and aunt are going back, and my aunt also said that she only comes to pay respects every seventh day. Next, in addition to the father's major events in the family, the rest of the things such as the disposal of property objects, moving, handing over the Bofu with the imperial court and giving land and goods have to be handled by us one by one. Uncle Li, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Yue's mother-in-law are all old people who have been serving their father since childhood, and they are their father's right-hand man. Wang's mother is not far behind, and she is her mother's most powerful arm. My aunt told me about my Li family's family motto, and I also admired the wise vision of my ancestors. As a descendant of the Li family, I have no hesitation. It's just that I'm still young after all, and I haven't been exposed to anything, so I don't bother the two masters, and I still need your help in everything. This is the first time to do something, I don't want to do it very brightly, I just want to have no fault, that is, I, the only seedling of the Li family, have done a big thing for the first time. My father and mother didn't treat you as outsiders, and I also treated you as elders. We have to work together as a family to make this happen. It is not only to comfort the elders, but also to appease the family, so that they all know that there is a successor to the Li family! ”

Whelan's words had already been repeated in his heart several times, and he said them in one breath sonorously and powerfully, and he was deafening. Whelan was secretly panting, and at the same time crying in her heart, she finally succeeded in making a speech as a social fear, and she was excited!!

Several loyal servants were moved by this, and they all expressed their vows to follow the girl to the death. I must do my best to help the girl complete this time, and not to embarrass the Li family or the girl.

Whelan hurriedly asked everyone to drink tea and calm down, don't get too excited, there are still a lot of things.

A few people calmed down for a while, and Huilan asked everyone to work together to think about what gifts to give to their grandfather's family first.

Wang's mother said that the Wang family are all civil servants, and after the wife got married, there are basically famous paintings and unique books or pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. every year after her wife got married.

Didn't you say that Wenwu Shutu, why did a martial arts family in their family have a second-class jinshi, and they also married Wenchen's family, can it be said that this society is so harmonious? Huilan thought about it strangely and immediately put it behind her, what does it matter to her, anyway, she will neither be a Wenchen nor a military general in the future.

Whelan secretly scolded herself for reading so many ancient sayings in vain, and even forgot the gift list. She immediately asked Mother Wang and Steward Li's mother-in-law to discuss the preparation of a decent gift according to the list of rituals, and brought the prepared things to her before dinner, and several people took the order and left.

Seeing that they were all out, Whelan let out a long sigh of relief. A person jumped several times in the room, and finally relieved a lot of emotions such as excitement and apprehension. Tired, she sweated on her forehead and panted in the room.

When she was relieved, she called the willow bud and willow leaf who had been waiting at the door to come in. Don't look at the two maids who are not very old, they are now little girls who have just entered junior high school. But the eldest sister who was thirty years old than her was considerate and thoughtful, and as soon as she came in and saw her appearance, she washed her face one by one, and hurriedly poured water for her to drink.

Whelan felt faceless, it turned out that she couldn't make a fortune back then, not because the society was too sinister, but because she was too incompetent!! My face hurts......

When she was waiting to be washed and drunk, Liu Ya brought a plate of delicious pastries and smelled the sweetness, which instantly brought Huilan back to her soul.

Don't worry about it, it's useless if you don't have it, it's important to eat delicious.

There are two plates in total, one plate of eight pieces, small and exquisite, and the taste is not inferior to Whelan's previous New Year's holiday, so I bought a little high-end dim sum to satisfy my hunger. It's a pity that she is now a bean dice, a little bird stomach, and she can't eat it after only two pieces. I had to reluctantly let them take it down and share it with Qingguo.

Liu Ya answered and was about to leave, but was stopped by Whelan. She had an idea. "You bring a snack to talk to Qingguo, and by the way, inquire about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. If we want to live there in the future, we must know a little bit of things first, and we should make some preparations, so that we will not be blinded by two eyes, in case we offend people, it will not be good. Don't ask too deeply, just ask something that everyone knows. ”

Liu Ya bowed down and retreated.

Looking at the willow leaves beside her with low eyebrows, Huilan chatted with her for a while. So she knew the family's salary from top to bottom, the annual rewards, and the number of servants in the family. While asking, he sighed secretly, when her grandfather, grandmother, father and mother were all in this family, plus she had a total of only five people (not counting the time they couldn't live at the same time), there were actually seventy or eighty servants serving, not counting the circle in Zhuangzi's house. There are more than a dozen people serving under her name alone, and she gets sixteen taels of silver a month! Ale, please forgive a social animal who was born in a well-off family, has no worries about food and clothing but has no big money, is deeply surprised and sighs a word of corruption and extravagance! In this way, in Liu Ye's mouth, there are still one-third to one-half fewer servants than the family servants of the same class.

Well, it's her fault, poverty has limited her imagination, and the gap between the times has completely broken her inherent cognition. Sure enough, she still has a long way to go to be a real ancient noble lady. Fortunately, she didn't make a clever criticism just now, it's not a straightforward heart, it's a lack of heart and eyes to find death. Whelan is once again vigilant, don't use inherent thinking to judge the customs and customs of different eras, this is not only about face but also about life!
