Chapter 172 Take care of it first

Mother Qiao stood at the head of the people. At the entrance of the council chamber, Li Tian also returned the salute and took Yingluo and others into the council chamber. Mother Qiao hesitated and did not dare to follow up directly. The princess of Jin'an County was as famous as her virtuous and gentle.

Li Tian sat down on the big kang in the south and north of the council hall. Lan Mo, a second-class girl, knelt down a few times in front of the corner of the kang, and silently studied ink to lay paper. Green Lotus stood in front of the kang with a flower register. Li Luo took peach branches and other second-class maids and other standing in the corner of the kang. Li Tian looked left and right and saw that everything was all right before she rushed to Yingluo. Raise your chin.

The council hall was originally a pattern between one light and two dark, but now there is no partition in the middle, and the large area in front of Li Tian seems to be empty and spacious.

Yiluo came out of the gate of the council hall, stood with her hands down, and glanced at Mother Qiao and dozens of other stewsmen standing in front of her. She neither stayed on anyone nor on anyone less. After sweeping it, she said in a low voice, "The princess ordered, please come in." Mother Joe was stunned. What does this mean? Come in? How many of these 50 people went in? Mother Kong and the three were also stunned. Didn't they call their four general stewards in first?

The second-class and third-class stewards standing in the courtyard were allowed in when they saw the message. Some looked at Mother Qiao and others, and some looked at those who were ready to slip around. Of course, some rose their feet happily and rushed to the council hall for fear of falling behind. Someone started, and someone followed. In a moment, more than 50 stewels entered the council chamber. Under Yingluo's command, the second class stood in two places, east and the third class stood in the west. Grandma Qiao and other four were already late behind, passing through the second and third class to the front.

Li Tian sat on the kang and looked at the crowd with a smile. Seeing that everyone stood up, she said slowly, "Thank you for your hard work these days." The women did not dare to rise and fall. Li Tian smiled with a good temper. After everyone's polite flattery, she slowly continued, "I will speak in the future. Don't interrupt at will." The women subconsciously wanted to answer 'yes', but they felt that it was wrong without saying anything. The fast action was already half 'yes', and the half hurriedly swallowed and lowered their heads.

"Well, that's it." Li Tian waited for a moment, praised with satisfaction, and then seemed to smile, "A lot of things have happened in the past two days. Twenty-seven pieces of high-class porcelain have been smashed in the front yard and lost 43 pieces, including 23 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain, eleven pieces of Jun kiln, five of which were given by the emperor. My dowry smashed a glazed dish and lost it. A pair of agates set up; there were seven fights, and there were countless quarrels in public. As for gambling at night, drinking, and even people are not there at all, these are countless.

Li Tian stopped talking, reached out to take the cup handed over by Yingluo, lowered her eyelids and sip the tea. Mother Qiao's face turned blue and uncertain. Mother Kong kept staring at Mother Qiao nervously. Mother Song stood motionless with her hand down. There was a tall man in front of her when she came down from the sky. Mother Lu leaned to Mother Qiao, and her eyes flashed with gloating. Woe.

"Princess, this matter..." Mother Qiao couldn't help explaining a few words. Yingluo glanced at Li Tian timidly and reminded her in a low voice, "Munt, the princess didn't ask you anything." Mother Qiao's face turned red and stared at Yingluo, with unconcealed anger in her eyes. Today, she is trying to give her shame!

"I don't blame you," Li Tian continued gently for a while: "The new opening of the royal palace in Jin'an County caught up with such a big thing as the prince's marriage. It's not easy to deal with it in general. To make a joke, there are more than 500 people in the mansion, even people You have to recognize it for ten days and a half a month. People have to deal with the prince's wedding without admitting everything. Fortunately, everyone is old. If it were someone else, I don't know what the mess will be like. Li Tian's words made all the women feel relieved. It's really a blessing for the princess to be so reasonable. Only Mother Qiao's face was pale and ugly. After making up her mind, she must calm down and wait for her to finish her words.

"I can see everyone's hard work these days. Although I just got married, I used to help my grandmother take care of things in my mother's family. I know more or less about the difficulties here. There are more than 500 people in our house, which is a lot, but I know it's not enough when I really use it. But our prince, you should know better than me. The prince is the most picky, but he doesn't need the word 'good' for everything, but to be refined and refined. In this way, even if there are more than 500 people, it is not enough. As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, the women in the hall were almost full of joy. Although they didn't dare to say anything, you looked at me, I looked at you, and exchanged eyes excitedly.

The council chamber is full of stewants. They are smarter than ordinary people. Naturally, they know that compared with the other three princes' mansion, the ranks of more than 500 servants of Jin'an County's palace are simply too large. However, if you think more, you have to worry about such things as cutting people. This is simply certain. Who knows Dao actually heard such words from the princess, not only did he not think that there were many people, but also that there were not enough people! Sure enough, he is rich, and there are so many dowry marriages.

"Although the manpower is tight, everyone knows that if you still add manpower to the house now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Li Tian smiled modestly and euphemistically, and the women did not dare to make a sound. They all nodded to express their extreme approval for Li Tian's words. There are so many people, and there is really no need to add any more. Li Tian glanced at everyone with a smile: "But as long as the prince is that sharp, we don't have enough manpower. Isn't this embarrassing everyone?" Li Tian frowned in distress and said, "Everyone is embarrassed, isn't it me? I can't embarrass myself, so I thought about it and decided to close Wangfu West Road for the time being.

Li Tian looked at her stunned women with a smile and slowly took half a cup of tea, and then said, "There are only the prince and me in the house, and we don't need the west road for a while. I have discussed with the prince. In the future, if a new concubine comes in, we will first settle along the east road. Let's do it."

Mother Qiao's eyes at Li Tian became more and more solemn, and her originally straight back became more and more respectful. No wonder the old lady spoke to herself so solemnly. This princess of Jin'an was really not simple. These words made people fall down in the sky for a while, hit them in the face, and then beat these stewards. They rubbed back and forth countless times.

"As the saying goes, no rules can't make a circle," Li Tian turned the topic: "There are no special rules in our house, but it's just some rules that all the mansions have. Let Mother Wen tell you one by one in a moment. As for me, there is only one thing. I can't tolerate someone to deceive me. I can't tolerate this. As for doing something wrong, that's not a big deal. Who can be blameless!" Li Tian lowered her eyelids and turned the cup in her hand and didn't look at anyone, but many people in the council chamber played small drums lightly or heavily.

"These things that have happened in the house during this time are all due to three disadvantages. First, there is no special care. Once something happens and something is lost, you can't tell who should take care of it. Second, the population is mixed, and everywhere can go in and out at will, giving villains the opportunity to take advantage of it. Third, there is uneven bitterness and happiness. But no one is willing to do it. From today on, you can understand and make sure that it will be in the hands of each of you. You can't be wrong at any time, but if you make a mistake, don't blame me for being rude. Li Tian's face suddenly became cold, which scared the women so cold that they dared not move.

"Everyone's hands, and the time and place of the work will be checked by Lvlian for a while. Mother Qiao," Li Tian finally points to the four people of Mother Qiao: "You and Mother Kong, Song and Lv are still in charge. All parts of the house have to be inspected every day. I have drafted a copy of the specific inspection details, and let Yingluo hand it over later. Here, okay, let's do this today, Yingluo, tell me about the rules of my daily affairs.

"Yes," Yingluo answered. In the first half of the step, she said clearly, "Every day at the beginning of the morning, the princess comes to the council hall to listen to the matter. If you want to get the card money, there is also an hour to find the green lotus silver. Every day, only from the second quarter of the afternoon to the second quarter of the afternoon. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next day. . In everything, you must first have a charter. If you spend money, you must first know the amount of use. For example, you must support oil candles in the study, and you must know how many rooms there are in the study. Each oil lamp or candle. A catty of lamp oil can be used for several hours, and a candle can burn for several hours. Can you understand?

The women who listened to Yingluo's words took a cold breath. No wonder that although the princess was virtuous and good-looking, she was a resourceful person. Sure enough, it was really not easy to take care of it like this.

"Well, if nothing happens, that's all for today." Li Tian gave a slow order. Mother Qiao was very anxious. What she saw today was completely unexpected. She still had a lot of very important things!

"The princess, I have something to report." Mother Qiao gritted her teeth and stood up respectfully. Li Tian smiled and motioned her. Grandma Qiao was embarrassed and motioned to the stewids. Li Tian smiled and said, "Is it something that can't be said to people?"

"That's not true." Mother Qiao had to answer, and Li Tian said indifferently, "Then say it." Mother Qiao had to grit her teeth and said, "Go back to the princess, Baoyan and other girls have been specially set aside to serve the prince and the princess in their daily life. Now they are still not set up outside. Please ask the princess to tell me when to let them work in the main courtyard?"

"Oh," Li Tian answered with a long voice, "Well, call me in and have a look."

"Yes." Mother Qiao answered and turned around to signal Mother Song. In a moment, Mother Song led seven or eight extremely outstanding 17 or 18-year-old maids in.
