She coughed slightly first, but saw that the others still turned a deaf ear.
She couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "What are you doing!"
Mother-in-law Zhou and her husband have been in charge of the internal and external affairs for more than ten years. She is the most noble person in the house besides the masters. In addition, Mother-in-law Zhou is a strict person, so her voice is just like a thunder on the ground.
But it woke up those ladies in charge who were still addicted to beauty and wanted to fight for a man.
The place fell silent for an instant, and the women who were still arguing just lowered their heads like eggplants beaten by frost.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhou also walked up to the young man. The young man's body was like a jade bamboo, and even a pair of coarse clothes could not hide his handsome appearance. With such an outstanding appearance, it is inevitable that the ladies below her will not be tempted.
However, Mrs. Zhou frowned unconsciously when she saw this young man.
She didn't like this young man intuitively. She always felt that this young man was the kind of prodigy outside who could attract bees and butterflies by relying on his skin.
I'm afraid this kind of person will probably not be able to concentrate on his work in the house, and with this kind of skin, he doesn't know how many troubles will arise in the future.
I don’t know who picked someone like him to come in.
However, the young man had done nothing wrong at the moment, so although Mrs. Zhou didn't like him, she didn't criticize him harshly.
After she glanced at Lan Jue coldly, she returned her gaze to the ladies in charge.
"Look at each of you, are you ladies in charge? Our manager Zhou just told the newlyweds to do their duty honestly and not to cause trouble. These newlyweds haven't committed any trouble yet, but you ladies who have been working in the house for so many years have You have set such an example for the newcomers, are you all deceived? With such a virtue, how can you manage others in the future to convince others?"
After saying that, the manager Zhou only said, "You are also old people, but you are still so noisy and troublesome. I will give you a warning this time. If this happens again next time, I will directly remove you from your post." At the same time, In order to make you remember better, and because of the bad example you have set, half of your monthly silver will be deducted this month."
Hearing this, the ladies only complained secretly in their hearts, but they all knew Mrs. Zhou's character. What she said must be carried out. If anyone dared to talk back, the punishment would be doubled.
Therefore, these ladies complained bitterly, but no one would talk back to Mrs. Zhou.
After Mrs. Zhou had trained these ladies, she naturally educated the newcomers again, only warning them not to use the previous few as examples. If they did, she would treat them equally.
After being beaten so repeatedly, a group of newcomers naturally did not dare to cause any trouble in a short period of time.
After that, the ladies also avoided the young man, only honestly selected the people they needed and then left.
In the end, the young man who was originally the most popular turned out to be someone no one dared to choose after a while.
Lan Jue was originally a little proud of the fact that even though he was wearing coarse clothes, his charm was not diminished. However, after the old woman said a few words, he was no longer chosen, and he became anxious.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was about to leave, he quickly shouted, "Old lady! You haven't arranged for me to work yet?"
Hearing the young man's words, Mrs. Zhou frowned again, not wanting the other person to be someone who didn't even learn the rules.
"Don't call me madam in the future. I can't bear it. My surname is Zhou, and I am the steward of the inner courtyard. If you see me in the future, just call me steward Zhou."
When Lan Jue heard this, he just said "Hello" quickly, and then he raised a standard business smile and said to Manager Zhou, "Manager, I don't know where I can work?"
Manager Zhou glanced at Lan Jue lightly. For some reason, she always felt that the young man's smile was a bit showy.
But showing off like this to a woman in her late teens?
Is there something wrong with this kid?
Manager Zhou asked calmly, "What do you know?"
He knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, these things are useless for recruiting domestic servants.
So he thought for a moment and said, "I know everything!"
In fact, he doesn't know anything.
Manager Zhou
Naturally, she wouldn't take his words seriously. She could tell at a glance who was working and who was not working.
The young man in front of him had thin skin and tender flesh. He couldn't even see the calluses on his hands. He dared to say that he could do anything.
But the person has been bought in, and he can't learn. She has to arrange a place for him to go.
This place where there are many women must not let him in. Now several of the ladies in charge are fighting over his skin. If the maids below hook up again, the Jiang family's family style will be ruined by these servants. broken.
So after thinking for a while, Mrs. Zhou was ready to arrange Lan Jue among the men.
Looking at him like this, it would be a good idea to send him to the concierge, but unfortunately the concierge is not short of people.
Nowadays, the only people who are short of people are the groom and the gardener. If this man is the groom, she will not trust the horse, and she will not trust this man either.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou thought about it and decided that it would be better to let this boy go trimming the flowers and trees with the master gardener first. We will make other arrangements based on his performance later.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Zhou also asked, "Can you take care of flowers and plants?"
Lan Jue had no idea about taking care of flowers and plants, but he once had a pot of spider plants in his room, and his waiter would water the flower every morning. Thinking about it this way, this job is not difficult.
He nodded quickly, "Yes."
Mrs. Zhou obviously didn't believe this, so she only said, "If you don't know, you can ask Master Tao for more advice later. He has been tending flowers and plants in our house for more than 20 years. He is an experienced master, you can follow He can just learn.”
After that, Mrs. Zhou picked a few more men, and then said to Lan Jue and the other men, "I'll take you to find Master Tao."
Lan Jue saw that all the people chosen by his mother-in-law this week were men, and he suddenly had a bad feeling: wouldn't all the people working with him be men?
He doesn't want to be with a bunch of stinky men, and he's not really here to work. If he doesn't flirt with girls, he will die.
So he trotted to keep up with Supervisor Zhou, then looked at Mrs. Zhou in embarrassment and said, "Supervisor Zhou, actually I don't know how to plant flowers."
Manager Zhou was not surprised by this. She just said in a cold voice, "It's okay. You will learn it after you learn it slowly."
"Actually, I have learned this before, but in the end, I raised the flowers to death." Lan Jue whispered.
Manager Zhou finally understood what he meant. This guy didn't want to work in the flower room.
Manager Zhou glanced at Lan Jue and said, "Then where do you want to work?"
Lan Jue smiled very sweetly and said, "Of course I will follow the steward's arrangements."
"Then go to the stable?" Manager Zhou asked.
What is the stable for? Lan Jue, who had always been oblivious to what was going on outside the window, looked dull for a moment.
However, Uncle Xu, who was in charge of the stable, welcomed all comers. He laughed and said, "Come to the stable! This young man is so handsome. Maybe if he comes to the stable, the mares in our stable will give birth to more babies if they see this young man." It’s a cub.”
After hearing what Uncle Xu said, everyone just couldn't help but laugh. Uncle Xu also laughed, and his gray beard trembled when he laughed.
Lan Jue stared blankly at the old man whose smile was twisted into a ball, "What is the stable for?"
Uncle Xu kindly explained, "It's a place where horses are taken care of. Don't worry, I'm in good health now. You can just help him and shovel horse manure." @
Uncle Xu thought that his arrangement was very reasonable, and the young man should be very grateful for his consideration.
I don't want Lan Jue to feel distorted when he heard the last sentence.
Shoveling horse manure?
Does he look like he's made for that kind of work?
Lan Jue quickly shook his head and said, "Well... I'd better go to the flower room."
After saying that, I didn’t wait for Uncle Xu to try to persuade him to stay.
Lan Jue quickly followed the large troops heading towards the flower room.
Manager Zhou was not surprised that he came over. He just said coldly, "Why are you back again?"
"Steward, I think I am more suitable for growing flowers. Although I have planted flowers and trees before, I think that must be because I don't have a master to teach me well." Lan Jue said quickly.
When Manager Zhou heard this, he didn't look at him. He just continued, "Anything you do must be done with concentration. If you do it towards Qin Muchu, in the end
I'm afraid I can't do even one thing well. "
After hearing what Manager Zhou said, everyone just nodded in agreement. Manager Zhou then led these people to a courtyard. At this time, an old man was covering several large trees in the yard with soil and straw. It was obvious that he was making preparations to protect the trees from the cold.
Seeing that he was busy, Manager Zhou said hello, "Old Tao, this young lady has added a lot of new people to each hospital today. Why didn't you come over today?"
After listening to Steward Zhou's words, the old master, who was called Lao Tao, couldn't help but hunched his back and glanced at Steward Zhou and said, "What's there to choose from? After all, these people have them all. After they finish picking, don't I have a share?" . Besides, the weather is getting colder and colder. I can’t freeze these precious bumps."
After listening to Lao Tao's words, Manager Zhou's eyebrows also relaxed a little, "You! I still only have precious flowers and trees like you in my eyes, but the eldest lady knows that you love to take care of flowers and plants. She begged some Qiang Mo from Prince Liang's Mansion a few days ago. The flowers and trees on the side, I heard that the flowers and trees there can bloom in winter."
After hearing this, Old Tao said, "It's rare for the eldest lady to miss it, but the flowers and trees that go against the season are not as beautiful as our flowers and trees in Yong."
Mrs. Zhou laughed when she heard this, "You are still so stubborn."
Then she stopped smiling and said, "Okay, I won't delay your work anymore. I will arrange these young men here for you. You are already so old. If there is any inconvenience in the future, just worry about it." Just support these young men."
After saying that, she pointed at the old man and said, "This is Master Tao. He will be your master from now on. You follow him and work hard! Study hard! As long as you are willing to calm down and work hard, there will be no trouble in our house." I will treat you badly!"
