"Miss, you're awake." "Do you want to have lunch?"

I said smilingly, "Silly girl, I rested after eating breakfast. I just got up and wanted to have lunch again?" Upon hearing this, Green Pingping pursed her lips and smiled.

"Help me put on my clothes!" I said to Lina with a smile.

Lu Ping still took the morning set of clothes for me to wear, although this time no makeup, but also a bright face.

"Brush up a beautiful bun for me!" I sat in front of the bronze mirror and smiled at my reflection.

"Then comb your concubine's bun!" Lusheng was infected by my cheerful mood and brushed my hair after a few moments. Not waiting for me to speak, I heard the sound of boxes being rummaged through. After a while, I came back with a box, and opened it to see a set of tired golden silk phoenixes flying on the head. The golden phoenix wings on the hairpin had been linked together, slightly flapping its wings.

Both sides of the jewel had heavy matting, which loosened the hair on either side of my head, and a pair of gold earrings shone brightly in my ears from top to bottom. I smiled and pointed at the pair of mattresses, saying, "Hurry and help me get rid of this labour! My scalp hurts from the fall. " The young boy did not have much hair, and wearing such heavy jewelry made him feel even more uncomfortable. After hearing this, Lu Ping came over to help me remove the hair covering my temples and put it in the box. Both sides of her hair were loose and loose, making her look somewhat flirtatious.

"Miss, are you going to the old lady's place now?" Green Pine helped me to my feet and helped me to straighten the tassels on the pouch hanging from my waist.

I shook my head. "You go call everyone in the yard." I walked over to the brick bed and sat on it properly.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Ping finally understood. I want to formally pick up the Spring Peaches. With a slightly happy expression on his face, he quickly lifted the curtain and walked out.

After drinking a cup of tea, I was slightly surprised to find that Jade Spring had already changed to six Cucurbita slices. Lu Ping was really considerate of my heart. I like to drink cold tea before going to bed, but like to drink bitter tea after I wake up.

After a while, all of my maidservants stood in front of my bed, each of them with their heads lowered respectfully so that a pin drop could be heard. It reminded me of the embarrassment I felt when I first came back, when I found out about the accounts, when Mama Chen was standing in the yard and clashing with me, and when the maidservants had looked respectful and unconcerned. In just half a year, everything has changed. Lu Ping has become the most capable serving maid by my side, and my former mother was sent to her daughter's room to serve as a servant. These maidservants stood in front of me and didn't dare to show any more contempt, instead staring at their own shoes, afraid that I would find any mistakes. Those mothers who like adding oil to the fire also respectfully stood at the door. Occasionally, their eyes would meet mine and they would only smile honestly. Could this be considered to be getting better and better? I laughed at myself.

"I believe you already know what I have to say today." I cleared my throat, and Spring Peaches looked at me, her eyes clear and cheerful.

I waved at her, and she slowly kneeled down in front of me. "She will be promoted to a second class maidservant, change her name to Lan Ling." The maidservants had different expressions. Lu Ping stood beside me with a thick smile on her face. Standing in the midst of the crowd, Lanke smiled faintly, as though she understood what was going on.

"Miss Xie!" Spring Peach bowed her head, I looked at Green Peach, she understood what I meant, went up to help Spring Peach up, handed her a red satin money bag, performed a ceremony. "Sister Lan," Spring Peach's face flushed red, and she quickly returned the gesture.

"In the future, Lan Li will be the second rate girl to me. Her monthly allowance will be made up from my monthly allowance." I took a sip of tea.

"Yes!" All the people in the room bowed.

I took a few thin sheets of paper from the table and gave it to Lan. It was a list of the people in my room, and it was a good opportunity to show her who was boss. Who would have thought that Lan Lingyun would have a difficult expression on her face after accepting the letter. Immediately after, she respectfully handed the register to Lu Ping. She blinked at her and started reading.

"First-rate servant girl, Green Python, Green Bandits."

"Second class maid, Lan Ling, Lan Xiang, Lan Zhi, Lan Xin, Lan Xi." I looked up and sure enough, they were all twelve or thirteen years old.

"Third-rate maidservants, Spring Willows, Spring Poplar, Spring Zhizhi, Spring Lotus, Spring Ling, Spring Apricot." They were all eight or nine years old little girls, and all of them had a childish air to them.

"Mommy Zhou, Mommy Wan, Mommy Wang." The three mothers who were called out lowered their heads. These were the three mothers who specialized in kitchen matters. When their wet nurse was in the kitchen, they were also assigned to help the kitchen. These three mothers had quite a lot of trouble with their wet nurse.

"Mama Zhao, Mama Li!" These were the two mothers who were at the door and were in charge of night duty. Both of them appeared to be very powerful. Hearing Lu Ping's call for help, Mama Zhao hurriedly lowered her head even lower. However, Li Jun secretly raised her head to glance at me and coincidentally met my gaze. She lowered her head in panic and grabbed tightly onto my lapel.

These servants had never been so afraid of me before. I sighed. It seemed that the things that happened in the past six months had made these servants afraid of me. In this family, the most difficult to suppress were the rumors and slanders. Although outsiders may not know why Red Dew became Auntie Chen, the one whom my mother trusted the most, Mother Chen has now been driven to the kitchen to work as a laborer, but these things are all related to me. Furthermore, my conduct these days is very different from before.

I sat down on the kang and picked up the teacup. The sweet white porcelain lid slid across the smooth rim of the cup, making a crisp sound.

"I didn't have anything important to do with all of you. I just moved to Grandmother's courtyard for a long time, and haven't seen everyone for a long time." "Those who were standing didn't show a single trace of relief. They were still standing there quietly with their heads lowered." "Since you've entered my courtyard, and are my men, you should naturally listen to my orders." I lowered my eyes. "I don't want to know what some of you did for anyone." I raised my head and smiled as I glanced around. "But I want to see all of your actions from now on."

"I'll ask you guys now, do any of you not want to work in this courtyard?" I carefully looked at everyone's expression. To my disappointment, all of their expressions were unmoved. No one would believe that I would let them go.

"You guys aren't talking, are you planning to stay in this courtyard?" I intentionally pretended to be slightly surprised. "Then what did I discover after that? I definitely wouldn't care about the relationship between us master and servant." I faintly sighed and fiercely stared at the maid called Lan Xin. After which, I shifted my gaze and fiercely stared at the young maid called Chun He.

Previously, I thought that the little girl called Chun He was sent by my mother, but who would have thought that this little girl was actually sent by my grandmother. His mother had been in charge of the inner court for many years. She thought that after swapping most of his grandmother's family members, she had truly taken control of the Yang family. But who would have thought that a woman like Grandmother, who came from a large family of merchants, and who had been the host of the marriage for ten years, would be taken advantage of so easily? I mistakenly thought that the little girl who showed everything to me was sent by my mother. If I didn't accidentally found out that this little girl's brother had married the original big girl in my grandmother's house, then her father, who was originally running errands in the outer court, would suddenly go to my grandmother's manor, I wouldn't have thought of that.

"Little …" "Miss." Lan Xin knelt down with a thump. Before she could say anything, her tears fell. "Slave …" "Servant …" This servant would like to go to my wife's room and serve her. " I nodded my head. Lu Ping took two taels of silver and put it in her hand. Lan Xin's mother is an unfavoured mother. The moment she entered my room, she immediately became a second class maid. This kind of obvious favor, it goes without saying. Although Lan Xin had never done anything for her mother, it was hard to guarantee that she would be ordered to do something in the future. It was the best course of action to withdraw as soon as possible; she could be considered quite smart.

From today onwards, Lu Ping will take care of my monthly money. Without money, I will only look for you. Lu Ke will take care of my clothes and jewelry, without clothes, without jewelry, I will look for you; Lan Lingyun will look after my other matters, if there is any trouble in my yard, I will only blame you; without the hot water and food, I will only ask the mothers; at night, I will also have to trouble the two mothers with everything in the courtyard. Since I had already decided to stay, then it would be the people by my side. I changed to a smiling face and split up the matter in my courtyard. "Lu Ping, Lan Xin is someone I have to take with me in the future. They are all assigned extremely important tasks." Lu Ping, Lan Xin is someone I have to take with me in the future.

"Then let's disperse." When I stood up, Lan Xin had already withdrawn her tears. Her face looked sorrowful, but the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, revealing her thoughts. I smiled. It seemed that there were still many smart people in this family.
