Chapter 459: The mouth is crooked
Soon the courtyard was full of people, and Wen Xiuyi was startled when he saw this battle.
"Well, you don't need so many people." There are at least dozens of them.
King Fu looked at him, how much more? There are only three masters of the Fuwang Mansion, and more than 100 people.
"It's not too much, it's not too much, I know you don't like too many people, so I specially told Lao Tong not to arrange too many people." King Fu said as a matter of course.
The corners of Wen Xiuyi's mouth twitched, looking at the thirty or forty people standing in the courtyard, speechless.
After recognizing the master, King Fu and Princess Fu Li Yi and others stood beside them, Wen Xiuyi stood in the middle of the steps with a son and a daughter, and the Tong steward led his subordinates to salute: "I've seen the uncle, the eldest lady, the little young master." ”
After everyone finished saluting, the boy steward continued: "Uncle, eldest lady, little young master, a total of forty-six slaves, uncle and eldest young master, the courtyard of the little young master, each has two servants, four maids and four maids and women who sprinkle and sweep, four big and small maids serving in the yard of the eldest lady, four maids and four maids who sprinkle and sweep, one kitchen cook, one cook, four miscellaneous subordinates, two porters, two coachmen, and four rough maids and six maids, all here.
This is their deed of sale and roster. ”
The child steward handed over the deed of sale and the roster to Wen Xiuyi.
Wen Xiuyi took it, thought about it and gave it to Wen Yao: "You are in charge of this family, you can keep it." ”
The corners of Wen Yao's mouth twitched, and she accepted the things.
Before coming, Princess Fu told her that she knew that they might not get used to it when they first arrived in the capital, but now that Wen Xiuyi has been made an earl, that is, a noble man, and the dignity he should have is a must.
At that time, Wen Yao didn't know what Princess Fu meant, but she would understand when she saw so many people, thinking that Li Yi had told Princess Fu that their family didn't like too many people, and this was to give her a preventive shot in advance.
In fact, how could she not understand the truth.
Wen Yao swept around the people standing below, and said lightly: "Since the boy steward has selected you to work in the Earl's Palace, it means that you all have something special, and I don't need to say much about it, you are all people who understand the rules."
My requirements are not high, only one, into the gate of the Earl's Palace, is the Earl's Court people, the heart must be towards the Earl's Palace, pay attention to a loyalty, if I let me know who is half-hearted, or have other thoughts, then don't blame me for being unkind, at least it will be sold, or at worst, even if you are killed, others will not be able to say half a word about me, understand? ”
Except for the Tong steward, everyone knelt down and said respectfully: "Miss Hui, understand." ”
Wen Yao glanced at the roster in her hand, called Mama Shi over, and asked everyone to raise their heads to recognize Mama Shi before she spoke: "This is Mama Shi, and from now on will be the housekeeper Mama, you all listen to her arrangement." ”
Then, he easily stuffed the roster in his hand into Mama Shi's hand, and said lightly: "Mama, you can arrange the rest, I'll greet the guests first." ”
Mama Shi respectfully took the booklet: "Yes, Miss." ”
Wen Yao gave Wen Xiuyi a look, and the father and daughter had a clear understanding, one greeted Princess Fu, the other greeted King Fu and Li Yi, and returned to the side hall to sit and talk.
Just sat down, Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she took Mama Shi with her, and Mama could work harder.
Princess Fu looked at her with a smile and said, "Where is this, there will be colleagues coming to congratulate you in a few days, you have to prepare a banquet to invite them, your family has no housewife, I am afraid that these things will fall on you." ”
Wen Yao only felt that her brain was buzzing.
"But don't worry, don't be afraid of me." Princess Fu looked at Wen Yao with a soft smile and distressed, hey, this girl herself is still a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, there is no mother, and there is no hostess at home, so she has to worry about these at a young age.
Thinking of this, Princess Fu inevitably thought of the Liu family again, that woman got Meng De's guidance, and now she is quite popular among the noblewomen in Beijing, if she is in the ...... No, fortunately she is not here, such a woman is not worthy of these good children.
Now that the Wen family is developed, Wen Xiuyi has become Wen Changbo, compared to Meng De's small official position of the fourth grade, it is obvious that Wen Changbo's status is higher, although he has no real power, but the grade is here, that is, Meng De has to salute obediently when he sees Wen Xiuyi.
Liu is afraid that his intestines are going to regret at this time.
However, if the Liu family is smart, they should rot their relationship in the stomach, otherwise in a place like Beijing, there are many people waiting to see jokes in front of her face and behind her back, if she still wants to mix in the circle of noblewomen in Beijing, she should know what she can say and what she can't say.
Since the family had arrived at the Earl's Palace, they didn't want to trouble King Fu and Princess Fu anymore, so they immediately decided to stay in the Earl's Palace.
sent away King Fu's family and Guan Shengrui, who was taken away by them by the way, and Qiu Zhi, who wanted to return to Qiu's house, and only their family remained.
In the huge vestibule, one large and several small faces looked at each other.
Why did you come to the capital, and you would have mixed up with Wen Changbo, if the old man and the old lady knew, they wouldn't know how happy they were, and they would have come with them if they knew it.
"I knew that I would have taken your grandfather and your grandmother with me." Wen Xiuyi muttered.
Wen Yao shrugged helplessly, no one knew that it was such a result.
I thought it was to come to the capital to receive a reward, and at most I would be promoted to an official or something, but it turned out that this official was promoted, the kind of promotion that soared into the sky.
"Then send someone to pick it up?" Wen Yao asked.
Wen Xiuyi nodded: "I have to pick them up." "I just don't know if the two elders will come, they should come, after all, their sons are all big officials, this is not just a big official, this is the Wen family's ancestral tomb is smoking.
"Everything is gone, right?" Wen Xiuyi asked again, asking about the silver and title deeds rewarded by the emperor.
The emperor didn't say hereditary, that is, maybe the title will be gone when he dies, but these lands can be left to future generations, of course, they have to be collected.
Wen Yao gave him a reassuring look: "Take it, rest assured." ”
Wen Xiuyi thought for a while, and said: "By the way, remember to inform your brother as well, let him take care of himself in the north, don't be wronged or anything, he is also a backstage person now." "Although it's not tough, but the identity of the eldest son of Wenchang Bofu can bluff people after all.
"Okay, I'll write to my brother tomorrow, Dad, is there anything else?" It's okay, she has to go to her own yard to tinker, and when she comes today, she has to accompany Princess Fu, she hasn't seen it well, this is the real nest of her own.
Wen Xiuyi thought for a while: "It seems to be gone." ”
Xie Anyi, who had been sitting with the big head, said faintly at this time: "Grandfather, have you forgotten my mother, does she know that we are moving?" ”
Wen Xiuyi: "......"
Wen Yao: "......"
Wen Yao hurriedly asked Mama Shi to send someone to pick up Qiu Rongrong.
At this time, Qiu Rongrong had just finished a busy day in the shop, and after receiving the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, she was holding the order placed by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and her mouth was about to smile crookedly.
