Chapter 440: admonish servants
Chapter 440 admonishes servants
The front yard was crowded with people, Chu Nanzhi glanced at it, except for a few teams of royal guards standing at the back, the remaining ten people were the female envoys from the inner courtyard, the servants from the outer courtyard, and a few chefs who were sent over by Yin Liuxuan. The cook of the house.
A group of people stood neatly in two rows, with a respectful look. They were used to the admonitions of the palace, but they didn't have the slightest lazy attitude of ordinary servants.
Taking advantage of the gap between Chu Nanzhi's sizing up the crowd, Sang Qi handed over a booklet and whispered: "Master, this is the roster given by Yin Shaofu."
Chu Nanzhi opened it and looked at it. The fresh handwriting, at a glance, could tell that it was copied just two days ago.
Yin Erlang really put his heart into it.
I heard that the total number of maids awarded to the palace by the imperial court is nearly 200. If the guards, eunuchs of all levels, and servants in the palace are included, it must be an extremely large team.
Yesterday, Yin Liuxuan sent several personnel rosters, and she really didn't have the patience to look through them.
Anyway, after moving into the palace, the inner courtyard will be managed by consular eunuchs, and all other affairs will be managed by the Shaofu, Changshi, and officials at all levels. As a princess, she doesn't need to know everyone's details, she just needs to be firm. Just grasp these leaders.
The reason why Yin Liuxuan re-excerpted a roster must be because he hoped that he would have a solid understanding of the slaves sent in.
Opening the booklet with a calm expression, the names of Cailian and Caiwei are impressively displayed on the first page, and the name is the housemaid.
Scrolling back is the list of maids and kitchen cooks who are in charge of the daily life in the backyard.
After reading the booklet and returning it to Sang Qi, Chu Nanzhi held the book tightly, inspected the crowd with burning eyes, and said meaningfully;
"The Japanese palace has been busy with trivial matters these two days, and I haven't officially met with you yet. Today is considered a formal meeting."
At this point, she suddenly changed the topic: "But to everyone's disappointment, you all came all the way from Jingling City, and just entered the mansion, and I didn't send you any kind words to send you a warm and caring message. But to babble some harsh words,
The so-called no rules, there are rules in the palace, but outside the palace there are also rules outside the palace. Here in this palace, you should abide by your duties, perform your duties, and protect the lord loyally. rules. "
As he spoke, he slowly raised the book in his hand: "Just talk about the two books in my hand, I don't want to treat you too harshly, if you finish your work every day and have nothing to do with leisure There is nothing wrong with these tasteful and elegant words, but you know that the little princess and the little princess are young, and you still collect such vulgar books and hide them in the house, what is your intention?"
Looking deeply at Caiwei and Cailian sisters, Chu Nanzhi's voice gradually became high-pitched:
"Most of you were selected by the palace, and you may have been favored by the nobles, but now you have arrived at Luyan Port, and the residence of this palace is from the Pingning Palace. There is no such thing as high or low.
Regardless of whether you were a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager or a maid in front of His Majesty, since you have not been named a side concubine or Teng concubine, you should keep your duty honestly, even if you do this. Girls in the room, you should also understand a truth. It is your blessing that this palace and His Highness have given you this opportunity. If you don’t give it to you, you will not have this blessing.
If you want to use some flattering means to seduce the lord with ulterior motives, then I advise you to put away the set of fancy intestines in the palace earlier. "
Hearing this, Cailian directly lowered her head with guilt.
Looking at the heroic figure and domineering aura in front of her made her hair stand on end.
Faintly felt that this man was much more terrifying than those nobles in the palace who used to pretend to be soft and surly.
The whole person was shocked, and those beautiful thoughts in his heart were also dissipated little by little.
Chu Nanzhi kept her figure upright, but she couldn't bear the slant from the corner of her eye. Xiang Cailian, who silently buried her head, suddenly sighed meaningfully:
"Don't think that this palace is a village woman, and the little princess and the little princess are young, so you can be fooled. I can solve those complicated and confusing criminal cases, so I can naturally distinguish your little thoughts.
Today's matter is my word and I will not pursue it. If anyone dares to hide vulgar and indecent things in the mansion again, and has evil intentions, this Palace will not forgive you lightly. Even the Empress Dowager and His Majesty will not be able to protect you. . "
The servants in the courtyard were all surprised by her relaxed words.
I thought that the future master would be a village woman with little insight, but today her neither humble nor overbearing attitude not only saved their respective faces, but also gave a stern warning, which made people have to surrender.
Many palace people sincerely expressed their stance: "Slaves and maidservants bear in mind the teachings of the princess, and must abide by their duties and fulfill their duties."
Although Cailian had some resentment in her heart, she had no choice but to be overwhelmed by her power in the end, and replied obediently: "This servant will always remember the teachings of the princess."
Chu Nanzhi then ordered everyone to return to their duties, and led Sang Qi back to the living room.
Lin Jinxiao listened to her reprimand to the servants in the room, and he had something in his mind.
No wonder Cailian dared to openly admit that it was the script in her room. It turned out that she had the intention of seducing her.
It's a pity that she is not a frivolous person, she really underestimated herself.
After dinner, Yin Liuxuan and Sang Kun went back to the mansion together.
Sang Kun reported to Chu Nanzhi about the situation of garbage cleaning in Jushengfang and discussed the details of co-building the house with Butler Zhao.
According to the agreement, the Zhao family invested 30,000 taels of silver this time, which is the same as the restaurant's proportion, accounting for 20% of the share, and will undertake all the house construction work.
Before signing the contract, Zhao Taigong paid all the money, which made Chu Nanzhi a little uneasy.
She stared at Sang Kun, and teased with a half-smile: "This old man is really rich and powerful, and he is not afraid that I will run away with money."
Sang Kun smiled indifferently: "Butler Zhao said that the old grandpa is willing to entrust the entire family business to the master, so what is a mere thirty thousand taels of silver?"
What's more, she is now Princess Pingning, the governor's wife in the state, how could she give up her future for thirty thousand taels of silver.
Chu Nanzhi's eyes paused slightly: "The old lady trusts us, and we can't let him down. We will go over and sign the contract tomorrow."
"Well, the villagers in Tong'an Village are all back, and it was Chu Ting who persuaded them to come back."
Sang Kun looked at her, and said hesitantly: "I heard that the old lady still has some things to discuss with the master. It is indeed appropriate for the master to go there tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Knowing that Chu Ting brought everyone back, Chu Nanzhi immediately felt more at ease.
In this way, the restaurant can still open normally as expected, and there is no need to use the spare manpower of the Zhao Mansion.
