The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Manager Qin followed Xie Jingan's instructions and sent someone to Liu's residence to deliver a message.

At this time, the masters of the Liu family were still asleep, and there were only a few lights in the house. The person who came to deliver the message braved the wind and snow and knocked on the door for a long time before a door opened sleepily.

The doorman opened his mouth and was about to scold, but the servant who sent the message took out a token and shook it in front of the door. The door was shocked by the words on the token, and bowed in fear: "Young eyes are clumsy, I don't know what it is." The nobleman from Prince Shun's mansion arrived and kept the nobleman waiting for a long time, whether it is a small one or not, please don't care about the nobleman and the young one, forgive the young one this time."

The servant who sent the message was in a hurry to do the errands assigned by his superiors, and he was too lazy to argue with him, so he waved his hands and said: "Don't waste your time here, go and wake up your master, and obey the king's order, today I want to invite the Liu family People from all walks of life are going to be guests in the palace, including the female relatives, the whole family, young and old, must go, and no one can be missed."

"At this time?" The doorman was a little embarrassed, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Your honor is accommodating, this time has not yet reached the time for the masters to get up, if you rush to wake them up, the younger ones really can't bear it, the nobleman might as well come in." Sit in the mansion for a while to warm up, drink some hot tea and eat some snacks, so that the little ones can wait for the masters to get up." He said that he would take out some money from his sleeve and give it to the subordinates.

The subordinates were all amused by his words, pushed his hand away and scolded: "You bastard, if His Highness orders you, there is no room for you to talk too much, no matter whether it is the time for your master to get up or not, anyway Your Highness has ordered, even if you beat the gongs and drums, you have to call people to the Lord. Your Highness can say that Sishi is waiting for the Liu family in the palace. If there is one missing, or if your Highness waits, how many lives are not enough for you? apologetic."

After finishing speaking, the servant didn't care about the panic on his face, got on his horse and went back to the palace to return to his orders.

As soon as the servant left, Menzi couldn't hold on any longer, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. He sat in the snow nest for a long time before recovering, got up quickly, and ran to the outer courtyard with shaking legs and a pale face.

He finally knocked on the door and called a familiar steward, regardless of the steward's sleepy eyes and ugly face, he shouted with an expression of imminent disaster: "Guard Liu, just now a steward from the palace came to deliver a message, saying that he obeyed His Royal Highness's orders, If you want to invite your masters to be guests together at Sishi, no matter whether it is the old man or the young master, you must go, and none of them can be missed. What kind of movement woke up the master, but..."

Menzi repeated it twice but didn't say all the rest, probably thinking of the fate of the servants who clumsily woke up the masters in the past, his face turned pale with fright, his legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees on the ground .

The steward was still in a daze, but when he was startled by these words, his whole body trembled and he suddenly became sober, his expression was exactly the same as that of the gatekeeper's. He panicked for a moment, and then he had an idea, and then he calmed down slowly. Glancing at the door, he said sharply: "What are you panicking, His Highness Wang Shun just called someone to pass a message, and it's not for you to call the masters to get up, we are the Liu family's slaves, naturally we don't need to do such work, just let Those little girls who were sold by the tenants at the bottom just go and call them. They are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so it doesn’t matter if they let the masters beat them a few times. What a blessing not to come."

Liu Guanshi was very proud of his idea, and the doorman also reassured him, but he couldn't bear it, hesitantly said: "Liu Guanshi's idea is really good, but those little girls are only seven or eight years old. The older one is only nine years old, and the one is as thin as a long hemp stick, can it withstand being beaten by the masters? What if the master accidentally beats him to death..."

"What are you afraid of?" Guanshi Liu interrupted him, "It's just a few lowly slaves who are no longer in the family. It would take a mat for others to beat them to death, but how much space can those few take up? Save it, you can hold two people in one hug, and it is convenient to throw it into a mass grave."

The door still hesitated, but Liu Guanshi kicked him impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze, there is no time to waste, why don't you hurry back to the front door and guard your door, if you let me There are thieves in the house, no matter how embarrassing the steward can save your life."

The door told him to scold him, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, he bowed his head and headed towards the front door, but Liu Guanshi, who was woken up by the door, went back to his room slowly, changed his clothes, and ordered his servants After boiling hot water and washing his face, he stomped towards the side courtyard where the new servants were locked up.

The side courtyard was really far away from the courtyard where he lived. At first, Guanshi Liu was able to walk slowly with his hands behind his back, but halfway there, it seemed that it was almost time. The masters needed time to get dressed. Regardless of his dignity as a steward, he lifted up his clothes and ran into the courtyard.

The steward who was in charge of the little girl and servant in the side courtyard was holding a whip to teach others. He was startled when he saw Steward Liu running in with sweat on his face. Come to my side courtyard when you have time? But want to pick a small pastime? To tell the truth, Manager Liu Zhong said that the little girls sold in this batch are much better than the previous two years. Snow white, the voice is also like that of the little oriole, it is clear and crisp, and it is even more painful when it cries, although it will be sent to those places to serve the nobles in the future, and it cannot be broken, but if you do something else, who will cry? You can't see it, can you?"

The steward of the side courtyard showed a wretched smile while talking, and the steward Liu felt itchy when he saw it. His small eyes stared at the little girls several times. Said: "What are you talking about? Is this the kind of person you are? You have something important to do when you come here today. Just now, the Shun Palace sent someone to send a message, asking the masters to come to the Shun Palace as guests before Sishi. I feel sorry for those below. This kid has worked hard serving his master during the day, so he thought about letting these little ones call the masters to get up. After all, these little ones have been nourished by soup and water these days. Get angry, don't you?"

The steward of the side courtyard opened his mouth in shock at what Guanshi Liu said, subconsciously glanced at the little girls and servants next to him, turned around and said with a embarrassed face: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, they come into the mansion In just a few months, all of them are as skinny as Xiao Douding, and they haven't learned any manners. This hastily called in front of the masters, which can neither make the masters angry, but also hurt the hands of the masters, in case the blame comes down , the younger one has not married a wife yet, and besides, for such a big matter, Guanshi Liu must report to the senior steward, so it is better for the senior steward to make up his mind."

"Look at your courage," Liu Guanshi said contemptuously: "I have been serving in the mansion for so long, and I still don't know the temperament of the masters. As long as the masters are angry, no matter what is wrong, you can call the master if you ask for mercy. Let me forgive you. Besides, what if you report to the chief steward? Do you think that the chief steward protects the underserved ones, or protects these little girls and servants who have just entered the mansion? Don’t forget, serving the master Ours are all family-born children, but what about these small ones? There is a crop every year, even if it dies, no one cares, and it saves a mat, how do you think the big steward will choose?"

The steward of the side courtyard moved Guanshi Liu's words, but he was afraid of being punished, so he kept his mouth shut and refused to agree. Seeing this, Guanshi Liu was anxious, so he had to spend his money: "Don't say that I hurt you, that's it, don't you?" Have you been thinking about Xingxiang next to the young mistress since a few years ago? I think you are an infatuated kind, and you are very obedient, so I pity you once and help you with this favor, what do you think?"

On one side are some worthless little ones, and on the other side are admiring girls who want to marry in the door day and night. The steward of the side courtyard made the choice very happily without any struggle: "Listen to Steward Liu, and Steward Liu is younger than you." The elder, who is in charge of the outer court, naturally has more knowledge than the younger one, the younger one must follow the orders of the steward Liu, and the younger one will let those little girls and servants dress up and send them to the inner courtyard to call the masters to get up .”

Seeing that the steward of the side courtyard was on the road, Steward Liu nodded in satisfaction, and then took a greedy look at a few little girls who looked more iconic, and then swayed back with his hands behind his back.

For the next hour, Liu's mansion was in a state of chaos, the servants were busy rushing in and out, but the masters were not at ease, picking and dressing up, and at the same time scolding the servants when they found time After pinching the man twice, he managed to send the masters to the carriage with great difficulty, and all the servants in Liu's house heaved a sigh of relief.

Only the steward of the side courtyard was happy and distressed, and he grabbed Steward Liu and complained: "These little girls who just entered the mansion can't help beating too much. I heard that the masters didn't beat them a few times, and two of them vomited." I can't get up the blood, and I don't know if I will die in the mansion. It's still snowing outside now. I don't want to brave the snow and drive the night road to the mass grave. The road is narrow and bumpy. After passing through two forests, who knows if there are wolves in it, I haven't married Xingxiang yet."

The steward of the partial hospital muttered endlessly, and Steward Liu said impatiently, "Isn't this still dead? If you don't want to go to the mass grave if you think it's troublesome, you can pay the doctor yourself to treat their injuries."

"Then how can I do that?" The steward of the partial hospital called Liu Guanshi's words, which made him almost jump up: "I don't have that spare money, and besides, I can't even talk about a few lowly girls. If there is life, I will ask the doctor to treat them. In my opinion, let them resign themselves to their fate, the masters have not been beaten hard, so maybe they survived?"

I don't know if he thought of the thing that Guanshi Liu promised him, but the steward of the partial hospital laughed as he said that, and tugged at Guanshi Liu's sleeve to ask Guanshi Liu how to help him.

Guanshi Liu didn't have that leisurely attitude and continued to talk with him, and was pulling out his sleeves to scold him, when he saw a servant rushing into the yard in a panic, his face was covered in sweat, and he jumped at him in panic. In front of him, he said urgently: "It's not good, the big thing is not good, Guanshi Liu, a general who killed a god led a lot of soldiers into the mansion, and when he saw anyone, he knocked them down and tied them up, saying that he had obeyed His Royal Highness Shun Wang's orders. Order, come to seize someone to ransack the house."
