[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing winked at Meixiang, who understood and went out to call in Butler Li who had been waiting on the side.

When they saw Butler Li, the eyes of the people from the second house deepened.

After they came to Rong's house yesterday, Rong called housekeeper Li to come over to conspire. Then the imperial edict to confer the title of Yun Ye came down today. They said that housekeeper Li had nothing to do with it, but they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

"Madam." Butler Li bowed respectfully.

Rong Enqing waved his hand and got straight to the point, "How is the matter I asked you to do?"

Steward Li said seriously, "Madam, all five doors of the mansion have been locked. Outsiders cannot come in, and people in the mansion cannot leave."

Rong Enqing nodded and praised: "Very good."

As soon as the two of them asked and answered this question, everyone present changed their expressions.

What is this going to do?

What's the point of sealing off the mansion?

Could it be that the Rong family was not satisfied with the previous division? Did they want to use tough measures to divide the family again?

Or is it that Rong is crazy and wants to murder them?

Jiang trembled and looked at Rong Enqing with horror in her eyes.

Yun Hao and Song Shi remained calm, with a slightly sarcastic smile on their faces, as if they were waiting to see what Rong Enqing would do.

Seeing that the couple in the second room did not react, the couple in the third room panicked in their hearts, but they looked calm.

Not to mention the fourth room, one was full of surprise and at a loss, while the other was secretly happy and waiting to see the show.

The timid Old Five was sweating profusely and shaking like a sieve.

As for the mother and son of the first wife, Yun Ye looked calm, but Zhang showed a rare moment of emotional fluctuation.

Rong Enqing glanced at the reactions of the people present with a nasty look, and then he explained with a smile: "Don't think too much, I just thought that since the family was divided, the servants in the mansion should be divided together. There are many people and many gossips, so in order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, I sealed the mansion and temporarily prohibited people from entering or leaving."

Everyone suddenly realized. Some people were relieved, but others lowered their eyes secretly.

After a brief explanation, Rong Enqing said to Butler Li, "Call all the servants and maids from all quarters."

"Yes."

Butler Li went out in response.

In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of servants from all over the mansion, inside and outside, came to Qinghui Hall under the guidance of a group of servants.

Butler Li came in and replied, "Madam, except for the ten servants I left behind to guard the gate, all the other servants in the mansion have already arrived. They are now waiting in the courtyard for your instructions."

Rong Enqing nodded in satisfaction and stood up. "Everyone, follow me out to take a look."

As he said this, he took the lead and walked out.

Walking out of the hall and standing under the eaves, looking down from above, I could see at a glance that there were hundreds of people standing in the wide courtyard, including men, women, young and old.

At first glance, everyone was standing in a mess.

But if you look closely, you can see something.

For example, when the people from Qinghui Hall gathered together, the people from the second house stood together, and the third and fourth houses were also clearly separated.

For example, the maids and servants in the inner courtyard stood together with the maids and servants in the inner courtyard, while those in the outer courtyard stood together with the maids and servants in the outer courtyard.

In addition, several men and women in charge felt that their status was superior and stood a little forward, keeping some distance from the ordinary maids and servants.

It’s true, you don’t know until you see it, and you will understand all the tricks once you see it.

At this moment, some of these people looked confused, some looked panicked, some were angry, and some were uneasy... But without exception, everyone suppressed their emotions and dared not to flare up.

Because, around these people, there were many servants standing in a neat row with swords on their waists.

Rong Enqing roughly counted them and found that there were about twenty people. Adding the ten people that Li Guanjia had arranged to guard the gate, there were about thirty people in total.

Although nominally, these people were servants, in reality they were the guards of the mansion, a group of people who were only loyal to the heir of the mansion.

This is the true foundation of the Marquis’ Mansion.

Rong Enqing was fully aware of the existence of this group of people, and also knew that this group of people currently only obeyed the orders of Butler Li, so she asked Butler Li to assist her in managing the Marquis' Mansion.

According to the original body's memory before death, this group of people were finally used by Yun Ye. Because from the beginning to the end, they only recognized Yun Ye, the eldest grandson, as the true heir to the Marquis' Mansion.

Rong Enqing pulled back her thoughts, glanced at the people who had already stood on both sides of her, and then said to everyone in the courtyard: "The Marquis' Mansion is splitting up today, I think you all know. Now, it's time to decide where all of you will go."

Everyone in the yard was startled, and then began to chatter.

Rong Enqing saw that the scene was about to get chaotic, so he quickly raised his hand to signal, suppressing everyone's doubts, and continued: "Whether you stay or go is not up to me alone, it depends on the opinions of each family."

Everyone in the courtyard looked relieved.

Rong Enqing continued, "First of all, the dowry of each mistress will follow their respective masters after the division of the mansion. These people can now return to their respective rooms."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Soon, more than thirty people walked out from the crowd, bowed to the masters of the Marquis' Mansion standing under the eaves, and then turned and left.

Before leaving, many people glanced at the servants with swords standing around.

After this group of people left, there were still hundreds of people in the courtyard.

"Next, everyone serving in each room, please stand up." Rong Enqing ordered again.

Soon, twenty-four servants came out from the second house, thirteen servants came out from the third house, seventeen servants came out from the fourth house, three people came out from Yun Shu's office, and there was no one from the first house.

Rong Enqing was slightly embarrassed. The original body really neglected the eldest house completely! He didn't even arrange a servant for it.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Rong Enqing roughly counted the number of people, forty-seven, but he did not see those who served Jiang.

So he asked, "Have the people who serve Aunt Jiang come forward?"

Soon, seven more people stood up.

That makes fifty-four.

Rong En glanced at these people, then turned his head and asked the people next to him, "These are the people who serve your respective rooms. Now that the mansions are divided, it stands to reason that these people should follow your respective rooms. But I still want to ask for your opinions.

"If you still want these people to serve you, I will ask Steward Li to send their indentures to your respective rooms.

"If you don't want these people to serve you, and you plan to find better ones after you move, then I will have to make new arrangements for these people."

After these words were spoken, the second wife, who had wanted to take the person away, suddenly hesitated.

It was naturally good to take the people away. First, it could save money on buying new people. Second, these people had served them for a long time, and they knew their habits and felt comfortable using them. Third, these people were loyal to them, so they could use them with confidence.

But it was precisely because these people were loyal that they hesitated.

Especially Yun Hao.

If these people who are loyal to him continue to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for the future, would they be of greater use?
