The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Lan Rufeng first went to find a money house, deposited 100,000 taels of silver notes, and left more than 10,000 taels on him before returning to look after Lan Shi and Lan Meng. Lan Wu was guarding in the front yard, and the others had not returned yet.

“Young Master…” The two maids and Lan Wu called forward and helped their master get things.

"It's windy, don't stand at the door in the future. If you catch a cold, I'll show you. Xiaowu stays at the front yard, and the two girls follow me to the backyard." Lan Rufeng said as she walked towards the backyard. Her words sounded like she was blaming the three people, but in fact, they felt unusually warm in their hearts.

Lan Wu's eyes turned red when he heard his master call him "Xiao Wu" and watched them go to the backyard. He was not a sinner, he was an orphan, who had been sold here and there since he was a child and had never felt warmth, but the young master made him feel it.

Lan Rufeng returned to her room in the main house. On the left was the study, and on the right was a small side room and a corridor leading to the back where the maids lived. Both were quite spacious. The two maids came in and helped the master put clothes into the closet, hung the sword on the sword rack beside the bed, and poured tea for the master in a proper manner.

"Don't be so restrained in front of the young master. At your age, you should be lively, cheerful and active. The young master doesn't have so many rules here. Just be happy." Lan Rufeng said to the two reserved girls.

"Okay..." The two girls agreed obediently, but did not dare to act rashly.

Lan Rufeng knew that it was impossible to let them let go of their nature for a moment, so he put down his teacup, stood up, walked to the window and ordered: "Shi'er, go find a rope, Xiaomeng, go to the study next door and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Yes, sir." The two maids responded and turned around and went downstairs to retrieve the rope, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"You two hold the rope and help me measure the length and width of this window." Lan Rufeng taught the two people how to measure the windows. He wrote down the length and width of several windows on a piece of paper and said, "Let's go to your room and measure."

The two maids looked confused and followed their master to the right room at the back without asking any questions. They entered the room and pulled the rope to measure the length according to his instructions. They then went to the left room separated by a wall in the middle to measure the window. When they came in, they saw Lan Yi sitting in the room.

When Lan Yi saw Lan Rufeng stand up, he didn't even greet him and just looked at him.

Lan Rufeng looked at Lan Yi who was staring at her and said jokingly: "Young Master knows that he is good-looking, so you don't have to stare at him like that."

When Lan Yi heard Lan Rufeng's words, his face showed no expression, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

"Girls, measure quickly!" Lan Rufeng smiled and told the two maids to measure the window. After measuring, he glanced at Lan and went out to return to the study. He asked the two maids to go to the front yard to see if anyone else had bought anything and to help clean up. He then went to the study to draw buckle boxes and rods for modern curtains.

Lan Yi sat in the room, thinking about Lan Rufeng's words, and looking at his hands, he was lost in thought. He didn't know how long it had been before a sudden sound outside the door brought him back to his senses. He looked up and saw Lan Er carrying bedding in, so he stood up and went out to help carry it.

Everyone put the bedding and blankets in place, and went to the front yard to push the cart to the woodshed. Lan Qin came to see her master to report the bill, and seeing that the door was closed, she did not disturb her master, who should be resting.

Since Lan Si and Lan Dong failed to recruit anyone, they bought some vegetables. Lan Qin, Lan Xia, and Lan Qiu, who all knew how to cook, stayed in the kitchen washing vegetables and preparing dinner. Lan Er and the others helped to draw water from the well, boil water, and wash the pots and pans.

Lan Rufeng finished drawing and took a short nap. When he opened the door, he saw Lan Qin and Lan Xia outside.

"Sir, dinner is ready. Would you like to have it in your room or in the front hall?" Lan Qin asked as soon as she saw her master.

"Have you hired a cook?" Lan Rufeng asked when he heard that dinner was ready.

"No, we made it ourselves. I don't know if it suits your taste?" Lan Xia replied.

"I'm not picky about food. Let's go! Let's go to the front hall." Lan Rufeng smiled and walked down the steps towards the front yard. Lan Qin and Lan Xia followed behind him.

Yang Feng lay on the wall of the flower shop and shouted to Lan Rufeng who was passing by the garden: "Mr. Lan, the prince asked if you have hired a cook. If not, come and have dinner with him."

"Although he hasn't confessed yet, our girl has done it, so we won't go over to disturb Prince Rong." Lan Rufeng left without stopping.

Yang Feng touched his nose, jumped down the ladder, and went back to the front hall to tell his master Lan Rufeng that he would not come.

When Mu Rongchen heard that Lan Rufeng was not coming, he felt inexplicably empty and picked up his bowl to eat.

"Young Master..." The people waiting in the front hall saw their master bowing to greet them. Lan Rufeng waved his hand, smelled the fragrance of the food and walked into the hall and said, "Go and bring the food over, let's eat together."

"Master, we servants can eat in the back kitchen." Lan Qin stopped him, and was naturally surprised that the master asked them to eat together.

"Today is your first day in the mansion, so just think of it as having dinner with the Master." Lan Rufeng said as he sat down and ordered, "Lan Er, Lan San, hurry up and serve the food."

"Master, this is inappropriate." Lan Er refused in fear. How could a servant sit at the same table with his master?

"What? You don't want to listen to the young master?" Lan Rufeng looked at Lan Er and asked. She actually wanted to know if their dishes didn't even have any meat.

Lan Yi didn't say anything. He reached out, pulled Lan Er and Lan San over and turned to leave. After a while, the three of them came back with a bowl of steamed buns and vegetables, as well as bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table. Lan Yi just looked at Lan Rufeng.

Lan Rufeng looked at the sumptuous meals he had, while they only had a bowl of steamed buns and vegetables. They were already malnourished and as thin as bamboo poles, and now they had to eat this...!

"Didn't the Master say not to save money? How can you have the energy to work if you eat all this?"

"Sir, it is a great blessing that you can buy us servants. We are already very satisfied as we have food and shelter." Lan San said gratefully.

"Since the young master can buy you, he can let you live a good life in the future. How can you grow by eating these malnutrition food? From now on, you are not allowed to eat only one vegetable. You must have at least two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup. This is an order. Just make do with it tonight! Sit down and eat." Lan Rufeng gave the order helplessly, reached out to take a steamed bun, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Everyone was surprised and moved when they heard what their master said, but no one dared to presumptuously sit down at the same table with their master.

Seeing that no one dared to sit down, Lan pulled out a bench, sat down, reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks, grabbed the steamed bun and started eating.

Lan Rufeng saw Lan Yi was the first to sit down, he looked up at the people who still didn't dare to sit down and said: "Just accompany me for a meal, you can eat wherever you want in the future, I have no right to interfere, sit down quickly."

Everyone then slowly sat down around the table, took their bowls and chopsticks, picked up the steamed buns and started eating, but they only ate the vegetables. Seeing this, Lan Rufeng sighed inwardly, and directly picked up the plate and divided the meat into everyone's bowls one by one.

Everyone watched as the master distributed the meat and vegetables into their bowls. They were so moved that they almost cried. Their eyes were red as they took small bites of the steamed buns and ate the vegetables in their bowls.
