The Mingyuemen is a mysterious organization in the world, mainly engaged in assassinations and selling intelligence. In the past year, Mingyuemen assassinated several courtiers, making the king extremely angry. After some investigation, the clues all pointed to Fuchang County. When they wanted to investigate further, the spies sent out had no news. Therefore, General Xia Jingyao was transferred back from the border. In the name of recuperation, he entered Fuchang County and secretly investigated Mingyue Gate.
Although no important information about the Mingyue Gate was found in Fuchang County, the Mingyue Gate's stronghold was discovered in the neighboring Linchuan County. When Xia Jingyao led his people to Cuiming Mountain, and after contacting the spies to determine the situation of the stronghold, they immediately attacked the stronghold. After a fierce battle, all the Mingyue Sect disciples in the stronghold were killed. Xia Jingyao sent people to search the entire stronghold, but other than gold and silver property, no useful information was found. Just when Xia Jingyao was about to return to Fuchang County, he received a secret order from the emperor to secretly go to the imperial capital. Xia Jingyao didn't waste any time and immediately took He Wu to the imperial capital.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yunqing has been staying in Yong'an Marquis Mansion for four days. Liu Yunqing asked the housekeeper every day when Xia Jingyao would return home, but the answers he got were always the same, and the housekeeper didn't know. Liu Yunqing had nothing to do every day, so he wandered around the house. After four days of shopping, I have already visited the entire Hou Mansion.
"Housekeeper He, who is responsible for the furnishings in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion? Isn't it a bit too dull? Can you change it?" Liu Yunqing wanted to do something for the Hou Mansion, but after much thought, he could only stay in the courtyard. Great work has been done on the furnishings.
"Miss, the Marquis doesn't care about these things, so it has always been taken care of by villains. If the Miss doesn't like it, it can naturally be changed. Although the Miss has not yet been married to the Marquis, since she is the fiancée, she can also be regarded as the Hou. He is half the master of the house. If there is something you don’t like, just go ahead and change it, and I will give you my full support." Butler He didn’t have any objections.
"This is a list that has been made. Please, Butler He, buy all the things on it. If it is not convenient for the family to pay for it, Yunqing still has some savings, so buying these is enough." Liu Yunqing folded a The paper was handed to Butler He.
"Don't worry, Miss. The villain will definitely buy all these back as soon as possible. There is enough money in the house, so there is no need for Miss to use her own savings." Butler He took the paper and looked at the things listed above. They were all common things. Mostly flowers, plants and trees.
"Then I'll trouble Butler He. Please ask the steward to tell the servants and maids in the house and ask them to cooperate. Before the items are bought back, preparations must begin." Liu Yunqing stated his request again.
"Miss, the villain has already given orders before. The servants and maids can be dispatched as you like." On the second day after Liu Yunqing moved in, Butler He had already ordered his servants to obey Liu Yunqing's orders and not to disobey them.
"Thank you so much, Butler He, and Yunqing said goodbye." Liu Yunqing saluted to Butler He, then turned and left.
Soon, under Liu Yunqing's command, the entire Hou Mansion was in motion. Everyone was busy weeding, preparing the land, and cleaning up debris. Previously, the singers and dancers sent by civil and military officials also volunteered to join. Butler He was very efficient and bought everything Liu Yunqing needed on the same day. Liu Yunqing led everyone and worked enthusiastically for four days, and the entire Hou Mansion took on a completely new look. Looking at the brand new Hou Mansion, everyone's face was filled with smiles.
"Thank you all for your hard work these four days. Today Yunqing paid for a banquet for everyone. Today we have enough meat and wine." Liu Yunqing gathered everyone together and expressed his sincere thanks.
"Mrs. Xie." Everyone responded in unison. In just a few days, Liu Yunqing gained the recognition of these servants and maids. What servant wouldn't like a master who is kind to others, who doesn't punish the servants arbitrarily even if they make mistakes, and who shares the joys and sorrows with him.
Liu Yunqing felt particularly embarrassed when he heard everyone calling him madam. The key was that he couldn't refute. After everyone dispersed, Liu Yunqing found Butler He.
"Butler He, I need to trouble you to send someone to buy food and wine. Calculate how much money it will cost. Yun Qing will ask Lian'er to deliver it later." Liu Yunqing directly explained the purpose of his visit.
"Madam, the villain will take care of it, don't worry. You have worked hard for the government, how can you use your own money." Butler He refused Liu Yunqing's payment.
"Steward He, why are you called Mrs. Yun Qing? Don't make fun of Yun Qing. Yun Qing has already promised to pay for a banquet for everyone, so naturally he can't break his promise. Butler He listens to Yun Qing this time and doesn't let Yun Qing break his promise. People." Liu Yunqing was a little embarrassed and shy, but he was very determined about providing money.
"Since Madam insists on this, let me thank Madam on behalf of everyone." Butler He saluted Liu Yunqing to express his gratitude.
Although the banquet in the evening was not luxurious, everyone had a great time. The servants of the Hou Mansion felt the warmth of home for the first time in the Hou Mansion. Everyone was happy and inevitably drank a few more drinks, and some people drank a little too much. After discussing with Butler He, Liu Yunqing decided to give everyone a day off so that everyone could have a good rest. After all, everyone was tired from the past few days. When they heard that they could rest for a day, everyone was grateful to Liu Yunqing again.
Liu Yunqing also drank a lot, and the suppressed emotions for so many days were finally released. When Liu Yunqing woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"Miss, you finally woke up. There is hangover soup here. Drink it and you will feel better." Lian'er brought the hangover soup in front of Liu Yunqing.
"I'm a little hungry, go and bring me some food." Liu Yunqing drank the sobering soup, and sure enough, her stomach felt better.
"Miss, you have forgotten that all the servants and maids in the house have a day off and have gone home or went out to play. No one will cook for them. This sobering soup is prepared in advance." Lian'er said helplessly.
"Then you go get me some water. After I finish washing, we can go out to eat." Liu Yunqing immediately decided to go out for a good meal.
"Miss, can we go out? Will we be recognized and cause trouble?" Lian'er was a little worried.
"It's okay. We'll be back after eating. It won't take too long. It won't be such a coincidence." Liu Yunqing said nonchalantly.
"That's great, we can finally go out for a walk." Lian'er happily went to get water for Liu Yunqing.
As soon as Liu Yunqing and Lian'er arrived at the small courtyard, they met Butler He who was in a hurry.
"Steward He, has something happened?" Liu Yunqing asked doubtfully.
"Madam, something happened over there in the store. I'll go take a look." Butler He stopped and answered Liu Yunqing's words.
"The Marquis Mansion also has a shop business. Yunqing's family has been doing business for generations, so he has been exposed to it and knows a little bit about it. If the housekeeper doesn't mind it, Yunqing can go and have a look together. Maybe he can help." Liu Yunqing wanted to help.
"That's great, please Madam, please wait a moment." After Butler He said that, he turned around and ran towards a yard.
After a while, Butler He came to Liu Yunqing with several soldiers.
"Steward He, what happened? Is it serious? Captain Sun needs to go in person." Liu Yunqing's face was full of confusion when he saw the deputy captain of the Hou Mansion Guards.
"Be prepared, madam, let's go quickly." Butler He finished speaking and led the way.
Liu Yunqing always felt uncomfortable the first time a guard followed him.
