Quickly wear it with your skills

Seeing that the nanny beside her was a little anxious, she shook her head slightly, and the nanny quickly closed her eyes to hide her expression.

Lan Hanlu smiled at Feng Yang, then stretched out her slender jade fingers and placed them on his arm, then slowly got out of the carriage. She lowered her hand, clutching the handkerchief in both hands, and slowly walked over to the butler.

The first thing that came into the butler's sight was a pair of embroidered shoes with a necklace, and above that was a skirt with a red and black pattern. The slightly cold voice from before came from above his head.

"Butler, you are highly respected in this mansion, and everyone here is under your management. You should be more careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, it's not me who will be embarrassed, but the General's Mansion. Do you think I'm right?"

The butler bowed his head again and said, "Madam, you are absolutely right. I am old and have handled many things inappropriately. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

This time, the voice was colder, and it softened a bit. "Butler, although what you said makes sense, no one is perfect. We have just taken over the General's Mansion, so some discomfort is forgivable.

But some things can only happen once or twice, after all, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. It's up to you, the housekeeper, to decide whether it's right or wrong."

It’s not that Lan Hanlu is unreasonable, but if you don’t give this old guy a good beating this time, he will become even more rampant in the future.

Lou Muzi, in front of so many people, had his dignity exposed by Lan Hanlu, not to mention his face. He replied somewhat dejectedly. "Madam, your teaching is absolutely right."

"Well, that's good! Grape quickly helped the butler up. He's so old and has been kneeling for so long, his knees must be uncomfortable."

This person is loyal to the Lou family, so we have to pay back what we owe to him outside and we cannot destroy his reputation anymore.

With Grape's help, the housekeeper stood up, his hands hanging down, and stood beside Lan Hanlu. Lan Hanlu looked at the remaining servants and waved. "Everyone, get up. If there's anything, we can talk about it back at the mansion."

Everyone quickly responded in unison. "Thank you, Madam," and then stood up, hands hanging at their sides, standing on both sides of the gate.

Lan Hanlu turned around, her expression cold and sullen. A smile curved her face as she looked at Wei Jianyingying and bowed. "Thank you for seeing me off with all the brothers. I've arrived in the capital, and I'm alone at home, so it's a bit inconvenient. I'll definitely host a banquet for you all in the general's mansion later."

Wei Jian clasped his fists and bowed. "You're welcome, Madam. Now that you've arrived safely, we will report to the Emperor."

"Then I won't keep you all any longer." After saying that, he watched these people turn around and mount their horses. He shook the reins with a dashing gesture, and then the horses rode away with a clattering sound on the bluestone slabs.

Lan Hanlu, supported by the nanny and maids, slowly walked towards the courtyard gate. Servants stood on both sides, and maids and nannies followed behind her. It was completely different from her previous life.

After returning, she first asked the maid and the nanny to arrange her things, then washed up and had her meal. By the time she was done, it was almost dusk.

Lan Hanlu was sitting in the lobby, with the servants of the Lou Mansion standing below. The light of dusk shone in through the open door of the lobby.

This made the whole house look solemn. All the servants in the mansion knew what happened to Lan Hanlu at the door of the mansion, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Lan Hanlu sipped the tea carefully. After about 10 minutes, she gently closed the tea bowl and placed the tea on the table.

"I just arrived at the palace. According to the imperial decree, you should have returned more than two months earlier than me. You should be more familiar with everything in the palace than I am.

I won’t say much more. Just continue doing your previous work, and I will adjust it if I find anything unsuitable later.

Steward and accountant, I will check the palace accounts in three days, including the emperor's rewards and those recovered previously."

When she said this, she sat on the chair with her back straight, her chin slightly raised and her eyes staring at the two people with cold eyes. The man was shocked by her momentum and quickly bent down to reply.

"I will follow your madam's orders."

"Okay, just know your duty. I've always been clear about rewards and punishments. Now I'm putting this on hold. If any of you make a mistake in the future, don't accuse me of being unkind."

She winked at the maid to come over and gave a purse to everyone in the room.

"Also, the managers of the manor and shops in the mansion, please come and give me your accounts in five days. As I said before, if you behave yourself, the general's mansion will always have clear rewards and punishments.

Otherwise, I can also let you see whether the skills of a country girl like me meet the standards of a young lady in your general's mansion.

Okay, do you have any questions? If you have any, please raise them. If you don't have any, go back and prepare."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile. His face was originally a lotus, but this smile gave his face a murderous look, making everyone feel cold for a moment.

"Oh, Ma'am, please write down my food preferences and give them to the housekeeper. Have him go to the kitchen to arrange them. Also, have someone find someone good at sewing to urgently cut a few clothes for me."

Those who were about to retreat in fear were frozen in place by her words. Lan Hanlu had no intention of treating herself badly, now that she had all the necessary conditions in place.

She ignored these people's thoughts and went back to rest after everything was done. According to the plot of her previous life, she would receive an imperial edict tomorrow and then go to the palace to accept the summons of the queen.

Then I will attend the eldest princess's banquet tomorrow, deal with the affairs of the mansion the day after tomorrow, take a rest, and then deal with the affairs of the farm and shops outside.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stretching. Oh my God, it was not a loss for her to use the resources in the mansion to accumulate some capital. Look at how busy she is now when she returns to the mansion.

The next morning, Lan Hanlu saw her satisfying breakfast on the table and nodded in approval. Just as she finished her breakfast, she received a summons from the Queen Mother.

The man gave Lan Hanlu time to tidy up. When she returned to the room, two maids quickly changed her clothes and combed her hair. Fortunately, she had urgently cut out a piece of clothing last night.

Otherwise, she would be criticized for wearing plain clothes when she went to see the Queen. Of the two maids, Madam Du was skilled in medicine, while Madam Huang was well versed in etiquette and housekeeping.

So this time she planned to take Nanny Huang with her, or take a carriage to the palace, get off at the palace gate and wait, and then walk to the queen's bedroom under the guidance of a eunuch.

As soon as they arrived outside Fengyi Palace, a palace maid turned around to report. The others were standing at the door to greet them. When they saw the visitor, they squatted and saluted, showing strict etiquette.

After a while, a palace maid came out, said hello and led Lan Hanlu inside. Everyone they met along the way stepped back, lowered their eyes and squatted to salute.

The rules and etiquette are so well-preserved that it is amazing.

After seeing the queen, Lan Hanlu knelt down and saluted. Although Lou Xiao was now a general appointed by the emperor himself, Lan Hanlu did not have an imperial decree, so she still had to kneel down and salute.
