Quickly wear it with your skills

After respectfully sending the eunuch off, Lan Hanlu turned back to look at the butler, who looked incredibly dejected, but still managed to muster up enough energy to bow. "Madam, it's getting late. Here are the storeroom keys. I'll take you there to check them out."

Huang Ma Ma took the key, and the group returned to the storeroom. After the guard finished his greetings, he checked the key with Ma Ma and the housekeeper and opened the door.

Nanny Wang took the account book, Grape took another one, and the person from the in-laws who was guarding the warehouse and the housekeeper went into the warehouse together and began to check one by one.

Seeing these things, the butler sighed. "These are less than 1/10 of the original, and they can't even be compared to those treasures."

As he spoke, a sadness filled his eyes. Seeing him like this, Lan Hanlu didn't feel anything. No matter how prosperous the general's mansion was in the past or how prosperous it would be in the future, what did it have to do with her.

Neither in her previous life nor in this life, she had ever enjoyed it.

After making sure there were no questions, he picked out a few pieces of cloth, took them out, registered at the door, and went back.

After returning home, she found the clothing drawings she had drawn during her free time in the winter and asked the people from the embroidery workshop to come over and discuss with them, asking them to take the items back and make clothes for her.

Although he really likes these clothes, he is anxious to make them because he is afraid that there will be a party or something and she will have nothing to wear. I can't let people talk about me like I did in my previous life.

If you have the conditions, you should naturally use the best. It will make others happy and you will feel comfortable too.

After everything was done, Lan Hanlu's eyes fell on the two maids. "What are their names? What can they do?"

The two of them walked in front of her in tacit understanding, kneeling three steps away from her. Lan Hanlu didn't feel at a loss because someone knelt in front of her. On the contrary, she enjoyed being served by others.

"The two of us, servants, have been given to Madam by the Emperor. From now on, we will be Madam's ghosts in life and Madam's ghosts in death. Please give us names, Madam."

It sounded scary. Is this how secret guards are trained? She closed the tea bowl. "Your name is Xiangcheng, and her name is Lemon."

"Thank you, Madam, for the names. My servant, Xiang Cheng, knows some martial arts and is good at accounting. My servant, Lemon, knows some martial arts and is good at massage."

"Well, that's great. Then Orange will follow Madam Huang first, and Lemon will follow Madam Du first. That's it. You're all tired after a day, so you should take turns to rest."

Everyone thanked him and left as he said, leaving only the grapes and lychees behind.

"You two are the people the general left for me. I trust you two the most. Let me be clear with you now. First, what are your plans for the future?

This way I can make arrangements earlier. People I trust will naturally not let you suffer any loss, so you can speak with confidence."

When Lizhi and the other girl heard this, they were delighted at first, but then they felt nervous. They didn't know whether the lady was testing them or if she really meant it.

They exchanged a glance, and Grape knelt before her. "Madam, was I summoned by my parents to eat meat? Or was I bought by a passerby because of my good looks? And then I ended up following Madam."

I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to live a peaceful life with you until old age."

Lan Hanlu looked at her. "Is this your true opinion? You should know that if you confirm it, I will take it seriously. If you regret it later, it will be considered betrayal in my eyes."

Grape gritted her teeth and bowed her head. "I will never regret it. I'm still serving a large family, and I won't get any good results in the end. I will serve you, Madam, until my old age. Madam is kind and will definitely make good arrangements for me."

Grape was also a successful woman. Having followed Lan Hanlu all the way here, she knew that Lan Hanlu was quite kind-hearted and that following a master like her wouldn't end badly. However, marrying someone was not certain. After all, her mother and sister had both been traded for meat.

"Well, since you said so, then it's settled. Let's get started! The ground is cold in late autumn, so don't kneel down."

"Thank you, Madam." Grape kowtowed again, stood up and stood behind her.

"Lizhi, don't be embarrassed. Just tell me what you think. I've been very considerate of you for coming all the way here to take care of me. I'm not a mean person. I won't secretly hate you because of your decision."

Lan Hanlu's tone was soft and gentle, which made Lizhi unconsciously relax a little. This was the effect of strong mental strength.

"Madam, I want to marry someone so I can have support and have a child with me when I'm old."

Although Lizhi was nervous, she still expressed her thoughts.

"So do you want to be a nobleman's concubine or a servant's wife?" Lan Hanlu didn't seem angry about her decision.

Lizhi sensed this and grew a little bolder, stumbling over her words. "Slave, slave, I want to live a good life."

Grape was a little surprised by his answer and almost couldn't control her expression. Lan Hanlu didn't react that strongly. It was better for Litchi to say it now to avoid anything irreversible happening in the future.

"You know, being a concubine is not an easy path to take."

"Slave, slave knows, but slave has suffered too much and doesn't want the child to suffer as well." Lizhi bit her lip and said these words.

"I won't assign you to the general. If you want to be his concubine, it depends on your own ability, but you must not bring shame to me and the general's mansion.

Otherwise, I can make your life worse than death, you understand." The second half of the sentence was filled with anger, making Lizhi tremble.

"I understand, and I will definitely not let you or the General's Mansion be affected by any bad luck." I have always felt that although I cannot compare with the lady, I am still quite beautiful.

As long as the lady doesn't interfere, it will be easy for her to choose a suitable person to be her concubine.

This only means that people are sometimes too arrogant and cannot see their own position clearly.

As for Lan Hanlu, why didn't she deal with the lychees now? Because just now she suddenly remembered something that would happen in the future.

This lychee might be useful, so I'll keep it for now.

Lan Hanlu took a hot bath in the evening. It was much more convenient to have someone serve her. She lay on the small couch and read a book, while Lemon used a fumigation basket to fumigate her hair.

"Madam, just watch for a while to kill time. Don't watch too much at night because it hurts your eyes." This was well-intentioned, so she didn't insist.

Putting the book aside, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the lemon massage. "Do you feel wronged to follow me?"

In ancient times, loyalty was valued. Since he followed her, he would not be valued by the emperor even if he returned to his side.

The hands massaging my head did not stop. "Madam, what are you talking about? It is a blessing for Xiangcheng and me to be able to follow you.

Madam is a kind-hearted person. You don’t have to worry about anything else while we are by your side. As long as we take good care of you wholeheartedly, it will be our merit.

The reason we were chosen is, firstly, that the skills we have learned are useful to you, and secondly, that we don't have any big ambitions."

Lan Hanlu nodded softly and said nothing more.
