At noon, while the lord and his wife were eating, several servants of the Li family gathered together and whispered.
"Xiao Rong accidentally knocked over the teacup when she was pouring tea for Sir Sir. Guess what happened?" a maid said mysteriously.
"Xiao Rong is so careless, she must have been trained miserably, and she might be fined." Another maid said with a curled lip.
"If that's the case, I won't mention it in front of you." The maid who spoke first shook her head.
Another maid was startled, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the lord drove Xiao Rong out of the house?"
"Why was she kicked out of the mansion? Not only was the lord not angry, but instead he rewarded her with the usual money, and he even said 'smashed peace'..." The maid looked envious, wishing that she was the one who broke the teacup.
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. How can a servant who has done something wrong get rewarded instead of being punished
If it was in another house, and the teacup was broken in front of the head of the house, he would be reprimanded at least, beaten and scolded at worst, and even two slaps would be minor.
"Also..." Envy appeared on the girl's face again, and she continued: "Xiao Qing just because the table was polished a little bit, and the floor was cleaned a little bit, the lord was happy, so she took her The standard money has increased by 50%.”
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, with expressions of envy on their faces. They were raised 50% of the money on the first day. Why didn't such a good thing happen to them
At this point, all the servants of the Li family understood that his lord has a habit of rewarding money whenever he is happy. It seems that he must behave well in the future, and his future life will suddenly become full of expectations.
"I see. No wonder Li San came out with a pile of broken vases just now. So he already knew about it." A servant in Tsing Yi suddenly realized.
"Li San was also raised as a regular money?" Another servant said a little bit angrily.
What the hell is this? They work hard, but they don't get rewards. Others who throw teacups or vases either get rewards or extra money. This is too unfair.
The servants were already thinking in their hearts, what worthless things are there in the house, should they take a chance and fall, otherwise wouldn't they be at a disadvantage
"Promotion money?" The well-informed maid shook her head and said, "I heard that Li San was kicked twice by the lord, and he is not allowed to fill up the two large tanks of water in the mansion before dark." Have a meal."
"—" All the servants looked at each other speechlessly, it seems that this method will not work.
By the way, both Xiao Rong and Xiao Qing are maids, is it only the maids in the house who have this special case
All the male servants immediately felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts. They can't decide this kind of thing by themselves!
"What are you all doing there? Have you finished your work?" A voice came from behind, and everyone's expressions changed, and they dispersed one after another. In the entire mansion, they were more afraid of Steward Li than the Sir...
…
…
Lao Fang and a middle-aged man squatted at the door, each holding a huge sea bowl in their hands, eating and chatting happily. Li Yi called twice, but they were unwilling to serve, so they let them go.
The old lady couldn't see, and she needed someone to serve her meals. In this matter, my aunt didn't want to let the servant girl do it for her. She just sent someone to deliver the food to the old lady's room, and she fed the old lady bite by bite.
On the dining table, Li Yi put all the dishes that were out of reach for the Dragon Boat Festival on the plate in front of her. The little girl is too thin, and now is the time to grow her body, so she should eat more.
"Thank you, brother." It may be the character she has developed since she was a child. She doesn't talk much, and she always looks timid. Even though it is not what it used to be, the habits formed for a long time are not so easy to change.
Sitting on the Dragon Boat Festival on one side, and Xiaohuan on the other side, the most caring girl is always the little maid, who knows what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat, and when she puts vegetables for the Dragon Boat Festival, there are hills piled up in her own bowl.
"Alright, alright, that's enough." The little maid was stopped from adding vegetables to her bowl. Although the cooks in the mansion were good at cooking, they still had to eat at a leisurely pace.
Miss Liu Er was still a little bit worried about his behavior of forcibly driving people away last night, and several times Li Yi wanted to eat, but she took it away first.
I'm in a good mood today, so I don't plan to argue with her.
She raised her head and looked at Ruyi who was opposite, a red cloud immediately appeared on her face, she quickly lowered her head, although it has been half a year since they got married, it took only a day to become a real couple, so she is a bit thin-skinned , can understand.
Thinking about it, it’s better to be a two-person world. In a few days, I just want to go back to Qing’an Mansion once, and arrange everything there. It’s just him and Ruyi going back, without Miss Liu Er, it’s a honeymoon trip , Walk around and have a look all the way, it's a joy.
The scriptures for the old monk are almost finished copying. After two days, send people to Hanshan Temple. This matter will be considered as a matter. I have to find an opportunity to discuss with the princess in detail about business matters. I only rely on the imperial court's salary It is definitely not enough to support a family. This matter involves dozens of people in the Viscount's mansion, so it cannot be sloppy.
Suddenly becoming the owner of such a large Viscount Mansion from a family of four, the psychological gap is not so easy to adapt to, coupled with inexperience and laziness, if there is no housekeeper Li Bo to take care of everything, Li Yi will still be in trouble. I really don't know how to operate it.
Not long after the meal, the old lady of the Li family came to the house in person.
Firstly, he wanted to see how his grandson's Viscount Mansion was doing, and secondly, he still had a lot to say to his daughter-in-law. The two of them were talking in the room, but Li Yi was not allowed to enter.
Later, the old lady saw that there were not many servant girls in the house, so she insisted on sending some from the Li family, but was persuaded by Li Yi desperately.
There are not many people in the family, so why do you need so many maidservants to serve you? If you don't need it, it will take up space. What's more, these people still need him to pay wages. The family is still in the development stage, so save what you can. up.
The old lady finally walked into the courtyard where the grandma's family lived.
When Li Yi walked into the room, he saw her holding her grandma's hand apologetically, saying "I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years".
If it wasn't for the Li family, the He family wouldn't have had such a hard time these years, but if it wasn't for the He family, the Li family wouldn't have turned against their good in-laws and ended up in such a decline.
What happened back then, what was right and what was wrong, until now, can't tell clearly.
However, even if the Li family declines again, for the He family, who are only ordinary people, it is still an existence that they cannot afford. Grandma was still a little cautious at first, but then gradually let go. When Li Yi walked out the door , they didn't know what happy things they said, and their laughter could be heard far away.
