In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Chapter 312 County Lord’s Mansion

This family was very satisfied with their needs, so they took the people back directly.

After that, they were allowed to familiarize themselves, and they turned around and went to the County Lord's Mansion.

It has indeed been built over there.

It is a large courtyard with three entrances, much more impressive than the one in Ye Mansion.

Jin Hibiscus stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a young man.

"Who are you two girls looking for?"

Jin Hibiscus took out the token directly.

As soon as the young man saw the word "An Guo" on the token, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Young Wang Dashan has met the county master."

Ye Lingyao raised her hand, "Get up."

Wang Dashan quickly got up and opened the door respectfully.

What comes into view is a whole garden. It has already entered autumn, and the gardens on both sides are still lush with dwarf trees.

There is also a pot of autumn chrysanthemums blooming proudly, which is quite interesting.

Wang Dashan said, "There is the front hall in front of you. The county master will wait a moment. I will go and talk to the steward now."

"Go." Ye Lingyao replied.

Wang Dashan ran away quickly, while Ye Lingyao took Jin Furong directly to the front hall.

Not long after the two sat down, a middle-aged man hurried in.

As soon as he came in, he made a plop and knelt on the ground, "Old slave Shi Chengdu has met the county master."

Ye Lingyao said softly, "Get up, are you the steward of the County Lord's Mansion?"

Shi Chengshuang nodded, "Back to the County Lord, this old slave is a steward assigned by the Internal Affairs Office. He is only temporarily managing the affairs of the County Lord's Mansion, and is just waiting for the County Lord to come over and make arrangements again."

Ye Lingyao nodded, "Tell me about the situation in the County Lord's Mansion."

Shi Chengshuang quickly replied, "Returning to the County Lord, the County Lord's Mansion was originally an empty courtyard. It was renovated and completed five days ago. At present, there are 120 six servants in the mansion. Besides me, there are maids 65, mother-in-law. Thirty, ten guards and 20 servants.”

Jin Furong's eyes widened when she heard this, and Ye Lingyao also took a breath.

I go!

Shouldn't these people want her to support them?She is only one person, how can she need more than 100 people to serve her?

She was really drunk. Could it be that she still had to go out to work to support these people?That's no different from nothing, it's not as good as her being comfortable alone.

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "Steward Shi, where did these people come from? But were they rewarded by the emperor?"

Steward Shi bent down, "It's not all what I said to the county master. The emperor rewarded 26 people. In addition to the old slave, there are ten maids, five wives, and ten guards."

She became even more confused, "Then where did the others come from?"

Butler Shi smiled and said, "The master of the palace rewarded it. The county master has just come to the capital. There are places that need manpower. These people are all from the palace."

Ye Lingyao suddenly realized.

It turns out that someone in the palace arranged manpower for her, spy!

Let alone these people, she didn't even know what the emperor was thinking about the people sent down. How could she allow so many people to stay here?

After thinking about this clearly, she immediately turned cold.

He said seriously, "So that's it, but I'm just a little girl from the countryside. Why do I need so many people to serve me? Besides, we don't have such extravagant rules in the countryside. I don't even feel comfortable with a little girl by my side." It feels so comfortable, but if I have to follow so many people, then I can’t survive?”

Butler Shi bent down a little deeper and said, "County Lord, please calm down."

Ye Lingyao sighed and softened her tone, "Steward Shi, are you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Can you tell the people over there to take them back? This is too much. It's just me. Where can we use so many servants?"

Butler Shi knelt on the ground with a plop, "County Lord, this old slave is just a servant. How can I decide this kind of thing? Please forgive me, County Lord."

Ye Lingyao was speechless.

"How can I forgive? I am suffering."

During the stalemate, two figures walked in from outside.

Ye Lingyao saw Huo Xinglan walking in front at a glance.

She turned her head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Huo Xinglan had a slight smile on his face, "I heard you were here, so I came over to take a look."

"Then you received the news pretty quickly."

Huo Xinglan's smile deepened, "I'm not happy, mainly because I'm so close."

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, and she turned to look at Jin Furong, who didn't understand either.

It was Changsong who explained, "County Lord, Prince Ling's Mansion is right behind the County Lord's Mansion."

???

Ye Lingyao looked incredulous, "Behind? So close?"

Huo Xinglan was not embarrassed at all, "Yes, I picked it specially."

"You are so shameless." Ye Lingyao rolled her eyes.

Huo Xinglan just smiled and turned around to see Shi Chengshuang kneeling on the ground.

"Did he annoy you?"

Ye Lingyao glanced at it and said, "Steward Shi, please get up. I will tell the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs about this matter."

Huo Xinglan raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"

"Of course there are more than 100 people in this courtyard. I don't know what they are thinking. I am the only one who has sent so many people here. Why do I need so many servants?"

"It's always been like this. Which of these individuals isn't surrounded by hundreds of people?"

Ye Lingyao looked indifferent, "I don't need it."

"It's such a small thing, you don't need to worry about it. Just drive them back. No one will say anything about you."

"But aren't these people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? I rushed back, won't they cause trouble for me?"

Huo Xinglan sneered, "It's just other people's eyes and ears. They are looking at you because you don't understand these twists and turns, so they put people around you. Don't pay attention to it."

"You really think I'm a fool..." Ye Lingyao whispered.

Turning to look at Shi Chengshuang standing aside, "He is yours, right?"

Huo Xinglan responded calmly, "Yes."

"So you put a spy next to me too?"

Shi Chengshuang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he listened to what these two people said.

Huo Xinglan said helplessly, "Although Steward Shi is mine, since I gave him to you, he is your subordinate and no longer under my control."

Ye Lingyao glanced at him and didn't say anything. Instead, she turned to look at Shi Chengshuang.

"Steward Shi, go call everyone over and say that I have something to say."

Shi Chengshuang went down immediately after hearing the order. He would rather do things than stay with these two masters. It was too scary.

After he left, Ye Lingyao asked, "How many of your people are there in the County Lord's Mansion?"

"Besides him, there are two maids. According to the rules, the number of people arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be 26. Apart from these five people, others have tried their best to insert them. They cannot be trusted. Don’t stay either.”
