When Wang Chenghai saw him, he immediately bowed and greeted him.
"What are you doing?" Li Mancang asked.
"The water jar in Concubine Wu's courtyard is frozen and cracked. Send someone to take it away and replace it with another one."
Li Mancang nodded. "Don't go. I'll arrange for someone else to go. We have an urgent job right now. Take a few people who are skilled in masonry to Jing'an Garden and build a small kitchen."
"Today?" Wang Chenghai asked.
"Well, hurry up. The princess has said it must be used tomorrow night."
Wang Chenghai said in embarrassment, "It's freezing cold out here, I'm afraid the mud and sand won't dry up."
"Then use fire to dry it." Li Mancang rolled his eyes and walked past him into the house, calling the name of a eunuch as he walked, and arranged for the man to lead Yan Ge to move the jar.
Wang Chenghai narrowed his eyes and watched Li Mancang enter the house. He rubbed his hands and turned to the back room of the courtyard where the eunuchs lived. He pointed a few people and went to Jing'an Garden.
In the main kitchen, Liu Nian scolded the housekeeper, "Your head has been taken away by a dog, what are you thinking? If you can't make it, just say that time is too tight. Why do you have to take out the food you made for me in front of that Yuanyue or something?"
The housekeeper shuddered and said, "It's not that the young lady's maid came to get it, but I was afraid that it would get cold and then become oily and not taste good."
"So you're still thinking about me? I have to thank you."
"Good girl, I know I was wrong. In fact, after seeing the princess leave unhappily, I also knew that I had done something wrong. But thinking about it, I was not wrong in the first place. You did come to tell me early in the morning. How could the princess prepare the dishes she had decided on at the last minute? I thought the princess was tired after a whole morning and might not care about these things."
"Bah, you're blinded by greed. She's the princess, princess. Why don't you go to her first if you want the best in the whole mansion?" Liunian stretched out his hand and poked the housekeeper's head hard.
"Miss, I know I was wrong. Really, please give me some advice. I will go to the princess and kowtow and admit my mistake now."
"Kowtow? That would require the princess to be interested. Let me be frank with you. If the princess doesn't mention this, you'd better be smart next time. If the princess really cares about what happened today, don't come looking for me again."
"Miss, what do you mean? But you told us not to cause any trouble in Jing'an Garden, and I did as you said."
"Bah! I told you to cause more trouble when you encounter the Jing'an Garden incident, but I didn't tell you to cause more trouble to the princess. Which of her subordinates can't you cause trouble for?"
"I, I didn't know that the menu was the princess's menu. If I had known, I would never have done that. Miss, you are destroying your bridges by saying this."
Liu Nian looked at the housekeeper's flushed face and smiled coldly, "You don't have to pick on me. It's just a few dozen taels of silver and two pairs of bracelets. We don't need that at home."
After saying this, she twisted her body and tried to leave. The housekeeper quickly stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, fanning her mouth twice with her own hand. "Look at my stinky mouth. I did something wrong, and it's not your fault. But you can see that since I took over this big kitchen, everything has been done according to your wishes. With me here, the concubine can rest assured. Please help me, if the princess really wants to make a fuss, I think with the concubine's ability, it won't be a matter of a few words."
Liu Nian exhaled, "I dare not say that. The princess has just entered the family, and who knows what her habits and temperament are. Of course, if I can speak for you, I will definitely say, you wish yourself the best."
After saying that, he pulled back his sleeves and walked out of the kitchen.
