Chapter 450 This dog is a real dog!
Mrs. Zhou wanted to scold her son, but the nanny next to her pulled her sleeve, signaling her to hold back.
"Madam, the young marquis is so filial that he finally came back to see you. It's so late now. If there is anything, it's not too late to talk later. Young marquis, you should rest first. Our madam should also go back to rest. Madam has a bad sleep. She only sleeps well in the first half of the night, but basically can't sleep in the second half."
Mrs. Zhou came to her senses and realized that this was the truth.
The son has grown up and is no longer under his mother's control.
It is also a method to always confront.
We still have to think of a way.
"You've had too much to drink, take a rest first. You all served me wholeheartedly."
Mrs. Zhou was a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was so excited about her son's return that she couldn't sleep at all. She could obviously ask the servants to go to the kitchen to cook some hangover soup, but she always felt uneasy and disliked the servants' clumsiness, so she cooked the hangover soup herself and asked someone to bring it to her.
He kept an eye on the news, and when he heard that the drink was finished, he sipped his lips and lay down on the bed to truly rest.
***
It was midnight.
Jiang Lianzhu heard some movement on the roof, the sound of someone walking on the roof.
However, he did not hear any response from the golden eagle on the roof. Lian Xuesan looked up and continued to bury his head in sleep.
She thought, it couldn't be anyone else, it must be Gou Liao Jiu.
I ignored him, pretended not to notice, and continued sleeping.
After a while, Liao Jiu came in through the window quietly, afraid of waking Jiang Lianzhu. After coming in, Liao Jiu lay down on the couch against the wall.
Silently.
After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Jiang Lianzhu found it funny again. This dog thing is a real dog!
Forget it, just let him be.
I'm exhausted after moving all day, so I'll go back to sleep.
***
The next morning, Liao Jiu woke up early and was relieved to see Jiang Lianzhu and the others were still sleeping soundly.
He quietly climbed out the window and went to attend the morning court.
Jiang Lianzhu just let him do what he wanted, as long as he was happy.
She pretended she hadn't noticed anything.
The courtyard of Prince Xiang's mansion is large. At four o'clock in the morning, Dabao and Erbao got up and came to Jiang Lianzhu's courtyard to exercise.
Speaking of which, Jiang Lianzhu wanted to build a small sports field in Prince Xiang's mansion, and also an indoor training room, so that she could exercise when it was windy or rainy.
There were no conditions before, but now there are conditions and the hardware can be put into place.
After the court session, Liao Jiu asked Xiang Zuo and others to invite people from the pawnbroker business to come to the house, bringing a group of servants for Jiang Lianzhu to choose from.
There are now four masters in the Prince Xiang's Mansion. According to the standard configuration, there must be at least more than a hundred servants.
The emperor only gave twenty or thirty of them. Other officials in the capital, qualified families, such as the prime minister's office, several ministers, and the Lin family also sent some servants. There were also twenty or thirty of them in total, but it was still not enough.
There is also an implicit rule. It is okay to send servants, but they are only for menial tasks, to really help with housework. Maids and nannies are basically not sent as a gift, because people are afraid that the master will be suspicious and think that they are trying to spy on him. Therefore, the master has to choose the personal servants himself.
Jiang Lianzhu also gave the task of selecting people to Li Niang and Dabao themselves.
Suppose that she marries Liao Jiu in the future, she probably won't live in Prince Xiang's Mansion for long. She has to like these people and be able to use them easily.
Dabao picked two servants to carry him with him and two errand boys to serve him.
Erbao also picked the same one.
Nanbao picked two seven-year-old girls and two older maids to serve her.
Then, Li Niang assigned a few maids and third-class servants to each of their courtyards, all of whom were selected to look clean, neat, honest and loyal.
Finally, Jiang Lianzhu was asked to choose the people.
Jiang Lianzhu turned her head to Liao Jiu and said, "Do you want to pick two maids that you like? Our Xiangwang Mansion will pay for them and give them to you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, many maids standing in the yard cast their burning gazes at Liao Jiu.
Looking forward to recognizing Liao Jiu as his master.
Although I don’t know what official position or identity this young man holds, just looking at his appearance is enough to make people envious.
Liao Jiu's face was so dark that he almost dripped water, "No need."
Jiang Lianzhu wanted to laugh, "Forget it, if you don't want it, I don't want it even if it's a gift. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."
As he spoke, he pointed casually and picked out two pretty and smart girls from the crowd of people waiting to be selected.
A maid like this, who is thirteen or fourteen years old, has not found a master yet, and is pretty, is generally not welcomed by the master. Unless she is sold to a male master with ulterior motives to be a concubine or something, her fate is not good.
The two maids didn't expect that Jiang Lianzhu would choose them. She was a single lady, and also a lady with the title of Lady of Benevolence and Righteousness. If they served her well, it would be equivalent to having great luck, and they would surely be able to live a luxurious life in the future.
The two men knelt down in surprise and kowtowed to Jiang Lianzhu several times, expressing their loyalty and promising to serve their master well.
Jiang Lianzhu nodded and said she was not picky, but in fact she was picky.
Just now, when she deliberately said that she was looking for a maid for Liao Jiu, the two older maids looked at Liao Jiu, without revealing the look of a daughter looking at him with love in her heart. They just glanced at him once and then calmly withdrew their gaze.
This is already quite rare.
She is not a nymphomaniac, so she is not worried about following her around and wanting to climb into Liao Jiu's bed at any time.
Having a husband who is so handsome and good-looking is actually quite worrying, and my perspective on worrying is different from others.
After selecting the female maids, he also selected a dozen strong male servants to do the rough work and run errands.
They picked forty or fifty people at once, and the human traffickers happily made a lot of money, so everyone was happy.
"Madam Renyi, I've brought you only the best this time. I've also included follow-up service. If anything doesn't work for you, I'll refund it. If I find something better in the future, I'll come back to recommend it to you. Thank you for your support, Madam."
"Sure, sure."
The servants' affairs have been arranged.
As a result, Emperor Xuan sent someone to ask when Prince Xiang’s Mansion would hold a banquet to celebrate the return of the family and let everyone know about the existence of Prince Xiang. Would he attend the banquet on time then?
Jiang Lianzhu and her friends were moving and hadn't originally planned to treat anyone to a meal.
When Emperor Xuan asked this, and considering that there were too many people giving gifts yesterday and not all the gifts had been delivered yesterday, the doorman started receiving gifts again early this morning.
In this case,
It's unreasonable for Jiang Lianzhu not to want to treat everyone.
With such a big business to manage, Jiang Lianzhu had just arrived in the capital and didn't know the etiquette between the nobles. The children were still young and knew nothing. Li Niang was just a maid before. She knew how to manage the servants, but she was not up to such a big thing as opening a mansion to entertain guests.
