Chapter 29: Sharing the Sangma with You Chapter 28
But after all, it was the Princess's Mansion, and it didn't take long for the Princess to find out what was happening there. She just shook her head and said nothing.
The banquet was successfully concluded. Lan Hanlu also made friends with a few ladies of good character and followed everyone out of the princess's mansion. However, when no one was paying attention, four strong men's maids followed her and got on the carriage and returned to the general's mansion.
Tomorrow, she would begin to deal with the palace, as well as the farms and manors outside. The outside was under the control of the emperor, so as long as she was firm and did not make mistakes according to the rules, it would be fine.
But these old hands in the house are not so easy to deal with. They all rely on the fact that they have shared the joys and sorrows with the general's mansion, but they do not take him, the new hostess, seriously.
The honesty of the past two days was just to test her bottom line. She had a very frustrating life in her previous life, and one-third of it was experienced from these people, and the rest was from the father and son.
At night, Lan Hanlu lay in bed and carefully recalled the things of her previous life. It had been so long that she could not remember the details of some things.
The emperor in the palace was admiring the poem brought back from the princess's mansion with admiration in his eyes.
"She borrowed four strong maids from the eldest princess." This was a random sentence, and the eunuch below quickly replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Could it be that she had suffered some kind of injustice? Her soft and gentle appearance immediately emerged in his mind. "Pick two more people and send them to the mansion to protect her tomorrow."
The eunuch quickly agreed and thought more highly of Madam Lou.
After breakfast on the first day, she walked into the yard and saw servants standing in rows in the yard from afar. She walked through the crowd, surrounded by maids and nannies.
They all knelt hurriedly in greeting. She was dressed in a bright red dress embroidered with golden branches, and her skirt swayed slightly as she walked. Her face was heavily made up, and her bright red lips were raised.
She was gorgeous and flamboyant, yet also had a certain aura of disinfecting intent. She wore a ruby-encrusted gold jewel on her head, bestowed by the Emperor. This attire not only indicated that she was the mistress of the household, but also demonstrated the Emperor's regard for her.
In a word, improve your own value and the weight of your words. Don't say that you are just a fox borrowing the power of a tiger. It would be foolish not to use your power.
She walked along the road to the front hall and sat down in front of the main hall. She glanced at the people standing in the hall. They were all the housekeepers.
These people quickly knelt down and bowed respectfully, "Greetings to the Madam." Their voices were in unison and their movements were consistent.
At this time, the maid came over and put a cup of tea on the coffee table. Lan Hanlu picked up the teacup and gently scraped it with the tea lid. The subtle sound reached everyone's ears.
She took a sip gently, then placed the tea bowl on the table. The crisp sound seemed to knock on the hearts of these people, and all the drafts they had prepared in their minds were blank.
This woman was so powerful that she seemed to be able to crush them into the dust without saying a word. She had basically forgotten the butler's previous hints and instructions.
Lan Hanlu said nonchalantly, "Everyone, stand up. Madam will take care of it."
"Thank you, Madam, for the reward." Everyone behaved themselves again, bowing their heads, bending over, and taking a step back to either side before sitting on their chairs. They only dared to stand one-third of the way, but their backs were straight and their eyes were drooping.
Seeing them like this, Lan Hanlu leaned back in her chair, raised her chin slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Since everyone is here, let's get started. Don't waste time."
The tone was not cold, but rather had a hint of joking. However, the accountant who was to submit the bill next swallowed nervously.
He was nervous and looked at the butler unconsciously. Seeing the butler sitting there with his back straight and his eyes lowered, he gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, turned around and knelt down towards Lan Hanlu again.
"Madam, this is the account book I prepared. Please take a look at it." He raised the account book above his head, and the nanny took it and put it on the table.
Although there were many businesses in the past two months, the account book was the family account book after all, and there were not many records. Lan Hanlu flipped through it and found it to be quite ordinary.
These people are loyal to the Lou family. Even if they have some ulterior motives, they will not shake the foundation of the Lou family, at least not in the next few years. She doesn't know how fickle people's hearts may be in the future, so she just glanced at them and put them aside.
"Well done, next one." The accountant quickly stood up, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and sat back in his seat.
They reported their situations and account books one by one for the whole morning. After everyone had finished speaking, Lan Hanlu pointed out the unreasonable things she had just seen.
Every time he called out a name, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and the housekeeper's fingers trembled slightly. He was thinking that despite her young age and poor background, this woman was really hard to talk to.
There was nothing serious wrong with it. She pointed it out one by one, gave a warning, and then explained her own rules, and that was it. The next step was the key point.
Lan Hanlu picked up the tea that the maid had changed and sipped it gently without saying a word. Every slight movement would be magnified infinitely and reached everyone's ears.
In this strange atmosphere, the housekeeper slowly stood up and looked at the remaining account book on the table, which was the warehouse account book.
The butler understood that the lady wanted the key to the warehouse, and logically he should give it to her. However, this was the future pillar of the general's mansion. What if this woman...
During the standoff, a servant rushed in and knelt on the ground. "Madam, here comes the Emperor's order."
Nothing is more important than the emperor's affairs. These people quickly adjusted themselves and prepared to receive the oral order. The one who delivered the order was the emperor's personal eunuch.
In short, he felt sorry for Lou Xiao fighting outside and was worried that Lan Hanlu would not be able to adapt after returning to Beijing, so he specially sent two maids to serve her and told her that they had some martial arts skills and could help protect the lady.
These words were naturally spoken to the servants in the mansion. Lan Hanlu was very happy to hear these instructions, and even her tone of thanks was a little cheerful.
The sparkling eyes made everyone who saw them feel happy. The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict sighed inwardly, not realizing that such a person was right in front of him.
Lan Hanlu winked at the nanny, who took out a purse and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand. He did not refuse, but turned around and began to scold the two people who were sent over.
"Your Majesty, from now on, you two will belong to Madam Lan. I will hand the indenture contract to Madam Lan in a moment. You'd better not cause any trouble, otherwise..."
Looking at the two maids, although they are stronger than other women, it is not exaggerated, and their looks are ordinary and unremarkable. The main thing is that these two people have the emperor's attitude when they are here.
The two stepped forward, kneeling respectfully and kowtowed. "Your servants pay their respects to the Madam, and will swear allegiance to her until death."
The two of them were happy to be here with the lady. At least their lives would not be in danger. As for what would happen in the future, that was their fate.
(Maybe I'm just a salty person. I don't like traveling or partying. If writing can support me, I want to write at home full-time.
Still no, I have to go to work now.)
