Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 492;

Chapter 490: The concubine dare not, A Niang will beat the concubine to death if she finds out
After discussing everything, the master and servant got up and prepared to serve the Patriarch in the main hall. When the three of them arrived at the door of the back room, Mrs. Liu stood there for a while, then she calmed down, put on a stiff smile and walked out The door of the back room, after passing through two rooms, came to the main hall to meet Li Yu.

Besides, Li Yu, who was in the main hall here after drinking half a bowl of tea, felt much calmer, and asked casually;

"Why doesn't your wife come out?"

The second-class maid Yueru smiled and lowered her head in response;
"If you go back to your husband, my chief steward has been a little sleepy for the past two days and just went back to sleep. Someone has already gone to wake him up, and he will be here in a while."

My wife is obviously not the chief steward, but the second-class maid, Yueru, clearly pronounced the word "priest steward", she lowered her head and did not look at Li Yu's expression.

Li Yu didn't care about these little things, but only heard that there seemed to be something wrong with Mr. Liu's body, so he asked;
"Oh? But if there is something unwell, if you feel unwell, you should ask a gentleman for diagnosis and treatment, so you can rest assured."

"I didn't feel uncomfortable when I came back to my lord. It's just that when spring comes, people are tired and horses are exhausted. It will be over after a few days of rest."

"That's good."

"I want to report to my lord, a wild boar brought by my son in the past few days is very fat, and the freshly killed meat, do you want to taste it? By the way, there is also a wild rabbit."

Li Yu has a good mouth, and it happened that it was almost noon again when he heard about wild pork and wild rabbit meat, and couldn't help swallowing it and spitting;
"Great goodness."

Li Yu, who agreed to stay for dinner, couldn't help muttering again;
"It would be better if there are some wild vegetables at the bottom."

The maid Yueru immediately raised her head and followed;
"Lang Junrong, there happened to be two handfuls of wild vegetables in the kitchen, which were boiled and dried, and they were rewarded by the old lady later.

After keeping it for a few days, no one knew how to make it and how to eat it. After throwing it away, they kept it for fear of wasting it. They didn’t dare to ask Mr. Lang how to use this wild vegetable so beautifully. "

When Li Yu heard that there were wild vegetables, dried vegetables that had been soaked in water, his eyes brightened;
"This is very particular, so you can't do it casually. I can't tell you clearly. I will ask the kitchen staff to come and I will tell them clearly. Don't waste the fresh wild pork."

"No. This servant will call someone over in person, come over! Fill tea for Mr. Lang."

"promise."

After giving instructions to the maid who was serving beside her, Yueru hurriedly exited the main hall and quickly came to the kitchen, and said to the cooks who were starting to prepare the lunch;

"Stop what you're doing, the owner has something to say, come with me to the main hall, remember to pretend you don't know how to use wild vegetables and then just obey the owner's orders, don't say a word."

"It's a lady."

Yueru explained to a clever second chef;

"Also, hurry up and go out to the old lady's mansion at the back. I remember there is a basket of wild vegetables in the kitchen over there.

You explained that it is for entertaining the owner of the house, so hurry up and bring some, and remember to take more if you want to take it. If the owner does not leave at night, you can continue to use it. Hurry up so that you don’t waste your time. "

"It's the lady. Don't worry, the lady will go right away."

The second chef who took the order ran out quickly. The kitchen was full of old people who had served Mrs. Liu for more than ten or twenty years, and they were also Mrs. Liu's nephew and nephew. Everyone was familiar with it, so they were more casual. One of them The chef spoke in surprise;
"Does the head of the lady's house not leave at night? I haven't heard of someone eating twice in a row?"

Yueru, who was about to leave with another cook, turned her head and rolled her eyes;
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Keep your mouth shut when you do your job."

Seeing the usually bully chef being taught a lesson, the two remaining handymen in the kitchen turned around and started laughing. Yueru took another cook and left the kitchen to serve in the main hall.

"Report to my lord, the cook is here."

Li Yu stared at the cook who came over and explained carefully;
"The wild dried vegetables can't be put into the pot too early, otherwise they will all be burnt, and they will have no chewing heads if they are too soft. After the wild pork is fried, go down and stew for a while. Remember..."

The cook who listened to the explanation was very depressed. The owner's explanation, the cook on duty in the Qiantou mansion has already learned it, and he has learned it in the front. He did it like this yesterday. Isn't it all good?
Why do you want to listen to it again?It was extremely strange, but the cook was so strange that he didn't say a word, for fear that he might say something.

After Li Yu finished his order, he was afraid that the cook would not remember and asked again;
"Do you remember what I said?"

Seeing that Yueru asked, she quickly stared at the cook for fear that he would talk nonsense, the cook glanced at the second maid, Yueru, and responded;

"If you go home and live there, the villain will remember."

"that's OK."

The second-class maid, Yueru, waited for Li Yu to lean on the back of the grand master's chair, and then followed;
"Retire and do your job well. Today, the Patriarch has prepared a big reward with food in our house. If you mess up, we will wait for the steward to convict you."

"only!"

Li Yu was very satisfied with this second-class maid, nodded and watched the cook leave. At this moment, Mrs. Liu walked through the two inner rooms to the side door of the main hall, and when she walked, she put her maid's After listening to the truth, Mr. Liu really wanted to stay for dinner, and Mrs. Liu's stiff smile softened a little.

Li Yu found out that Mrs. Liu had come out and couldn't help but asked with a smile;

"Yo, the lady is out! After sleeping in the cage, do you feel better?"

"The concubine pays homage to the Patriarch, and the Patriarch is blessed and safe."

"Get up for free."

"Thank you, Master."

She didn't go to the mansion to be on duty during the day, but hid at home and slept late, and was held upright by the owner, and Mrs. Liu felt a little embarrassed;
"If you go back to Langjun, you won't be sleepy after a nap."

"It's fine, just now when I came in, I met Tie Dan and he went to the workshop, and said that today his workshop will be out of wine, so he is worried about going to supervise.

He has a good character, not only works hard, but also knows how to worry. I reckon that after a few more years of work, he will be able to secure his position as a steward. Li Shi is the only person like him who has become a second steward before he has grown up. Really rare and extremely rare. "

Seeing the head of the family praise her son, Mrs. Liu was also very happy, so she quickly squatted down for a blessing;

"The head of the family loves him, but he is still tender. He needs more discipline to be able to take care of himself."

Li Yu smiled and nodded without speaking, picked up the tea bowl and took two sips. Seeing that Li Yu's tea bowl was almost dry, Mrs. Liu picked up the teapot on the table and filled another bowl. Half a step behind Yu.

This has always been where Lin Rongniang stood, and it was also the position of the chief steward of Li's second bedroom house. All the maids stood on both sides. This is the rule and you can't mess around.

For example, the second-class maids of Mrs. Liu stand on both sides, and the third-class maids stand in front of Li Yu. Everyone has their own position. This is also Li Yu's favorite place in the feudal dynasty. own rules...

"The lady is the youngest in the family?"

"If you go back to Langjun, it's exactly the same. A Niang was already at the age of knowing her destiny when she got me, and God sent me here again, so it's inevitable that A Niang will be more fond of slaves."

Li Yu turned her head and looked at Lady Liu a few more times. Lady Liu lowered her head slightly when she saw the head of the house. She was in her early thirties but for some reason began to feel shy, her cheeks on both sides could not help but blush.

This was the first time for Li Yu to look at the previous chief steward, and because turning his head felt uncomfortable, he opened his mouth to order;

"You come here and sit down, I turn my head to see that your neck is uncomfortable."

The lady of the Liu family is as rigid and serious as ever, and she strictly abides by the etiquette between master and servant and dare not go beyond the rules;

"The head of the family dare not sit in front of his concubines."

Mrs. Liu felt that what she said was very reasonable, and she did not violate any family rules. On the contrary, she followed the etiquette meticulously...

Miss Liu's four maids who were on duty today heard that the chief steward had such a serious face, they were all anxious, and they didn't dare to intervene indiscriminately, they all anxiously stared at the chief steward.

The second-class maid Yueru standing on Li Yu's left hand saw that Li Yu's tea bowl had eaten one-third of it, so she quickly took the opportunity to pick up the teapot and add it to Li Yu.

"Qi reports that your tea is not enough, and this servant will bring you some hot ones."

"good."

Yueru took advantage of the tea pouring time to settle her position facing the chief steward of her family, winked non-stop, and stretched out a thumb with her right hand, pointing in the direction of the back of the house, which meant to remind the chief steward of the family to imagine what happened behind the house. Those lessons from the old lady of the mansion.

Mrs. Liu understood it at a glance, and her heart skipped a beat immediately, but she forgot A Niang's teaching again, and involuntarily put on a tight expression.

In the past few years, I have always wondered, I have always acted rightly and straightly, never broken any rules, etiquette, why the previous head of the family always dislikes me?
Although I never complained to myself, I never gave myself a good face, and I was wronged. I cried to A Niang many times, but A Niang always complained that I was ignorant. Don't mention these troublesome things anymore!
Until a few days ago, the old lady called herself to scold her for a long time, and finally said in a roundabout way that it was because she was too rigid and kept the rules too strict, which made many people not like to get close to her!
I also reminded myself to learn flexible techniques in the future... Miss Liu quickly adjusted her mentality when she thought of this, and wanted to be a different self today, but now she wants to agree again, she just said it How can I return the words to the circle?So Mrs. Liu regretted it a little after she said it...

All of this was going on in a flash, Li Yu agreed to Yueru's addition of tea, and then said another sentence;
"It's okay, I told you to sit down, it doesn't go beyond our Li's family law."

Mrs. Liu, who was in a hurry, saw the steps again and hurried down the slope to squat on the donkey;
"promise."

After all, Mrs. Liu is not as open as Lin Rongniang. She would not have imagined such a scene even if she sat down in front of her house and beat her to death. She shyly walked over to Li Yu and sat down with her left hand. She was stiff and only dared to put her buttocks The tip is in the Taishi chair.

Li Yu looked at this senior steward who had been good for more than ten years, his whole body was as hard as an iron bar, and he sat half of his buttocks in the chair, shaking his head involuntarily.

Mrs. Liu was sitting in front of Li Yu. She couldn't see clearly what the Patriarch's expression was?Seeing how this Patriarch treats me like this, I feel very uncomfortable. I didn't expect that I would still not be able to make it through the new Patriarch... Thinking of the previous Patriarch's indifference to me, tears of grievance immediately filled my eyes.

Li Yu shook his head to mean that this person is too rigid and formulaic, a typical type of strong woman, no wonder many people don't want to get close to her, and seeing her sitting on half of her ass, she shook her head and laughed again;
"My lady, why are you so nervous? I'm not a man-eating beast. What are you afraid of? Aren't you tired from sitting like this? If I tell you to sit, just sit comfortably!"

Yueru has been with her wife for 20 years, and she is well aware of the sadness and grievance of her chief steward at this moment, so she just stands beside her, and calmly tightens the shirt behind her chief steward's back and gently pulls it back.

Miss Liu saw that the Patriarch didn't complain about herself, and she was still smiling quite well. She suppressed the tears of grievance and didn't fall. She felt that someone was pulling her from behind. She knew who it was with her eyes closed, and quickly agreed;

"The concubine is not afraid, but she has never sat down in front of the Patriarch, so she is a little nervous, which made the Patriarch laugh."

This time Mrs. Liu was determined to learn from Mrs. Lin, and after agreeing, she boldly and easily sat all of her body in the grand teacher's chair, but her heart was jumping wildly!

Li Yu smiled with satisfaction;

"Is that right? Just sit properly. If you haven't sat before, learn how to sit today."

Just after Li Yu finished speaking, the servants from the kitchen came in to report;
"Report to Patriarch, the meat and vegetables have been prepared, I dare not ask Patriarch if we can serve?"

"Oh, it's pretty quick, bring it up."

"Yes."

The rules of Li’s kitchen, the owner’s food can never leave the sight of the kitchen staff, this is an iron rule, a deadly rule, even if there is a maid to pick up the food, the people in the kitchen must follow until it is served on the owner’s table, this rule affects The entire Li family is in charge.

No matter which family Li Yu went to inspect, even the farmers had learned to be serious, whoever made the food would serve it himself, and would never ask others to intervene in the main food of the family.

After receiving the order, the servant in the kitchen withdrew and came in with another handyman in the kitchen carrying the dishes and put them on the table. They went back and forth three times before they finished serving the dishes.

Mrs. Liu just sat down and the food here is ready, she can't sit for a long time, she has to stand up to serve the master's food, just after she lifted her buttocks, Li Yu stretched out her left hand to grab her arm;
"Didn't I just say that today you have to learn how to sit, how many people can I have to wait on after lunch? Besides, even if I want someone to serve the four maids here, it's not your turn to do it yourself. Just sit down and eat with me!"

"Ah? This..."

It's not easy for Mrs. Liu to break free from the Patriarch's hand, and she is very anxious. How can there be a saying that slaves and maidservants eat with the Patriarch? This is simply nonsense!According to the family law, whichever family's son dared to be so presumptuous would have to be beaten to death and dragged out to be buried in a mass grave.

"But... Your Majesty...Even if you have the courage, your concubine would not dare to be so presumptuous. Your Majesty should spare your servants. The servants really dare not be so arrogant. If today's meal is eaten like this , if my mother finds out that I don't understand the rules, she will definitely beat me to death and throw me into a mass grave..."
