Chapter 25 Smart Servant
He was quite satisfied with everyone's behavior and entered the Zhanlu courtyard accompanied by Shuiyue, Jinghua and Liu Zhi. Zhanlan Courtyard is not big, but it also has one-fifth of the area of the prime minister's mansion. The whole yard is covered with bamboo, and occasionally there are plums, pine and orchids. It seems that the former owner of this yard has a special preference for this bamboo.
"At that time, I'm afraid that when it's time to eat, the young lady must have been tired all the way. Today, when Miss Zhi is coming, the cook in the kitchen specially made some dishes for the head of the house. He also invited the lady to Zhanzhuxuan to rest for a while and taste the skills of the chef in Zhanluyuan." The middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked beside Xia Shangzhou, lowered his head, bowed and said.
"It's okay." Seeing Xia Shangzhou nodding, the housekeeper stepped forward to lead the way. Xia Shangzhou was not in a hurry and followed slowly. Is Uncle the housekeeper of this Zhanlu Courtyard? Hearing Xia Shangzhou's question, the man did not dare to neglect and quickly replied, "It's the villain." Sideways, the man saluted Xia Shangzhou again.
Although I am a little tired of the red tape of the ancients, it is also clear that since I came here, it can't be avoided. I can't help saying again, "I don't know whose name is the housekeeper. I also have a name to call it."
"The villain's surname is Li Mingsi. If you don't mind, you can call her Uncle Li." Hearing Li Si's reply, Xia Shangzhou smiled and said, "Okay, please ask Uncle Li to lead the way." After receiving the response, Li Si led the way again.
Several people walked all the way and came to a small courtyard called Zhan Zhuxuan in half an hour. The yard was indeed full of bamboo forest, but the bamboo was a rare purple bamboo. Stunned for a moment, Xia Shangzhou stepped forward and fiddled with the purple bamboo leaves with interest.
In her last life, she heard that purple bamboo is a rare medicinal material, but it has an incomparable medicinal effect in treating some difficult and miscellaneous diseases. I just didn't expect to see rare things that I had never seen in the last world.
Seeing that his new master was very curious about purple bamboo, Li Si explained to Xia Shangzhou, "This bamboo was carefully cultivated by the previous owner in this yard, but he didn't expect that the purple bamboo forest was already lush now, but the man was not coming back."
nodded, and Xia Shangzhou also felt that the man was really strange. On second thought, if he came again, wouldn't she have no place to go? With a self-deprecating smile, she found that she had just come here for two days, but her mind became more and more meticulous.
"Miss might as well rest in the pavilion for a while, and the villain will go to see if lunch is ready." Li Si arched his hand to Xia Shang and Zhou, but his tone was also respectful. Hearing this, Xia Shangzhou nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Then bother Uncle Li."
Get permission, Li Siying turned back to the way he came. As soon as he took a few steps, he seemed to think of something, turned to Xia Shangzhou and said again, "Miss, are you going to gather the servants in the yard after dinner?"
Hearing Li Si's words, Xia Shangzhou was stunned for a moment and didn't know why. In an instant, he realized the meaning of Li Si's words. She has just arrived here as the new master of those servants. On this first day, she should have established the dignity of her master.
He looked at Li Si with some meaning and said, "Uncle Li is still thoughtful, just follow Uncle Li's meaning." Li Si answered and retreated. Without words, Xia Shangzhou walked towards the pavilion.
"Doesan Liu reveal the identity of the princess to the servants in the yard?" When Xia Shangzhou sat in the pavilion with the help of Shuiyue, he said to Liu Zhi, who was waiting beside him.
