Chapter 307: Taking Over the Hou Mansion (2)
Jing Ping and Zhang were looking at the account books, but they heard hurried footsteps.
A housekeeper was waiting outside the door in a hurry, looking for Lai Butler.
Steward Lai had no choice but to say hello to the princess and the Zhang family with a smile on his face, and then went out.
And the man said a few words in his ear,
Steward Lai's brows furrowed, showing a look of embarrassment, and he hurriedly entered the house.
"What's the matter, Steward Lai?" Jingping asked.
Steward Lai didn't dare to hide it, and bowed his body and replied, "Back to the princess, the Chen family's grandmother was fishing for flowers, and she accidentally fell and fell into the water at once, and when she was lifted out, she had already fainted." ”
Jingping listened and sneered, "It's nothing for this kind of slave to fall and drink some water, and if you stab her, you will wake up and let her continue to clear the pool." ”
Steward Lai was already stunned in his heart, although the master was the wife of Steward Chen, but in the end they were the people of the Chen family, and he did not dare to make his own opinion.
"Yes, Princess." Steward Lai immediately ordered to go down.
"What else?"
"Princess Hui, I and Steward Chen have always had their own positions in this house, and some of the family members are in his hands. Now that it has been reorganized into the mansion, the families controlled by Steward Chen are not very obedient to the dispatch. Steward Lai said.
This small Hou Mansion is also a small world of struggle for power and profit, Lai Butler is the old housekeeper in the house, and he is valued by the old lady, and some children respect him very much.
Steward Chen is Chen's confidant, Chen is the housewife, and he is responsible for the allocation of each room, and the actual power is greater than that of Steward Lai, so he naturally raises a group of capable subordinates.
"What happened to Steward Chen?" Jingping asked.
"It's almost done."
"After a quarter of an hour, let all the house slaves wait in the front yard." Jingping said.
"Yes, the minion will do it." Lai steward received the order and went out to do errands,
A quarter of an hour later, chairs were set up in the front yard, two large umbrellas were propped up next to the chairs, and in front of them stood densely packed with maids and daughters-in-law in each room, all standing according to their work positions.
Everyone in the house now knows that the current princess Jingping, who is now in charge of the housekeeper, is standing straight with her head buried low and not daring to move.
Today the sky is clear, spring has come to an end, summer is coming, and the sun is getting stronger at noon. These servants stood for a while, their foreheads already sweating.
At this time, the princess led the four big girls and Mama Li beside her, and came slowly with Zhang. She was dressed in a bright red narrow-sleeved shirt and skirt, with a flowing cloud belt at her waist, her hair combed into a feiyun bun, a phoenix crying blood gem, a slight makeup, and her slender and white fingertips were smeared with vermilion dankou.
Princess Jingping and Mrs. Zhang sat under the umbrella, and Yahuan served tea.
"Are you all together?"
I only heard Princess Jingping's faint question, and the slaves were a little timid when they heard it, and they all buried their heads lower.
"Back to the princess, Steward Chen and Mama Chen have arrived." When Lai came over, he saw that the two slaves were wearing gray cloth clothes, and Mama Chen was still shivering, and her hair was still wet.
"Didn't these two old slaves be dismissed by the prince? What is it called a housekeeper, and in the future, he will be that rough slave outside. Princess Jingping said.
The Chen family and his wife were pale when they heard this, they had all seen the fierce methods of the prince, and they looked at the princess cautiously, only to feel that she was more majestic, and they didn't dare to speak because they thought that her identity was so noble.
"Didn't the prince say that he and his wife should each receive thirty boards? Can you get this board? Jingping asked again.
"Back to the princess, I didn't receive it." Lai housekeeper replied.
"Right here, get the board!" Jingping said casually.
