Chapter 1200: There must be a rule in this family
Li Ming listened to Hanako's words, and his face was a little gloomy. Waiting for everyone to sit at the dining table, Li Ming thought for a while and said, "Today is the first time our family has dinner, and there are some things I want to say before eating." ”
When he said this, he said to Lu Yun next to him: "As the old saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, since you marry me, some of the rules of the Ming Dynasty have to be changed in our Far East." ”
Lu Yun couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Li Ming's words, but her mother has always taught her to abide by women's morals since she was a child, and also made her subconsciously obey men's opinions.
"We don't have slaves in the Far East, and the few servants in our family are not from our Li family, but just the people we employ, and they are paid monthly servants. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors of the Far East, I naturally have to lead by example, so Xiaohuan's identity will have to be changed in the future. That's what I think, you also have to dissolve the relationship between Xiaohuan and your master and servant. ”
Xiaohuan next to him listened to Li Ming's words, and suddenly his face became colorless. With a "poof", Xiaohuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to his uncle and young lady.
"Miss, you can't do without me...... Uncle, please, when I was a few years old, I arrived at the Lu family, you can't leave me alone......"
Li Ming looked at Xiaohuan kneeling on the ground, and he was really a little crying and laughing. Miss Lu next to her also persuaded: "Xianggong, although Xiaohuan and I are masters and servants, we are also sisters, so don't drive Xiaohuan away." ”
"I'm trying to get rid of Xiaohuan, I just want to break Xiaohuan's slave contract, if she is willing to stay with you, even if she lives in our house, she will find a suitable person to marry in the future."
Miss Lu and Xiaohuan were relieved when they listened to Li Ming's words. It's just that they don't understand why Li Ming did this, how many people in Daming are vying to be the slaves of big families, if the Lu family wants to recruit slaves, countless people have to break their heads and want to enter the Lu family.
Li Ming knew that they didn't understand these things, but he couldn't explain the relationship between exploitation and exploitation in a sentence or two, so he could only smile and say: "Xiaohuan, I know that you and Miss are sisters, and you will still serve Miss in the future, but your identity is the same as that of my family's servants, and your family will pay you a salary every month." Whenever you want to go, you are free to leave. ”
When he said this, he thought for a while and said to Lu Yun: "Now that you are married, there must be a rule in this family." In this way, Hanako has been in charge of many things in the family, and in the future, Hanako will be in charge of this family. There is also the fact that the home is no longer divided into the left courtyard and the right courtyard, and everyone goes to the restaurant for three meals a day.
Xiaohuan, since you are no longer a slave, you and Lu Yun will be a pair of sisters in the future, so let's sit down and eat with us today. The same will be true in the future, don't call us at every turn. This is also the rule of our Far East, where there are no masters, no slaves, everyone is equal. ”
After saying so much, Lu Yun and Xiaohuan still didn't understand what Li Ming meant. And Xiaohuan's face was still full of resentment, because Li Ming asked Hanako to be the housekeeper, if this is in Daming, it can only show one problem, that is, his own young lady has fallen out of favor.
But Xiaohuan didn't dare to say anything, just now she misunderstood what Li Ming meant, thinking that she was going to kick her out of the house, so she could only hold back her dissatisfaction in her heart.
Lu Yun is also quite disappointed in her heart, if she marries into the Li family and is not in charge of the family, then what kind of wife is she. Messing around, he was actually a small man when he got married, so now Lu Yun is quite sad in her heart.
Li Ming also knew that this might cause Lu Yun to misunderstand, so he patiently explained to Lu Yun: "In our Far East, there is no distinction between wives and concubines, and there is no distinction between big and small, everyone is equal. And women can also come out to work, I heard that you are a famous talented woman in the capital, if you feel bored at home, you might as well come out to work. ”
Listening to Li Ming's words, Lu Yun was a little stunned, she was deeply taught by her mother since she was a child, and she couldn't accept Li Ming's words. Although she didn't show anything to Hanako, she looked down on Hanako in her heart, after all, Hanako came from the barbarian land. And let your women come out and show their heads, how can this be.
Li Ming saw Lu Yun lower his head, although he didn't say anything, he was obviously a little resistant.
"In this way, during this time, I will arrange someone to take you around Shenyang, and you will first understand the situation in the Far East before making a decision. I think at your age, don't be bored at home every day, you should still find something meaningful to do. ”
Lu Yun nodded, but her face was still not very good. Li Ming really said that it was useless, and said with a smile: "Then let's eat, today's food is good......
After Li Ming finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a prawn, put it in Lu Yun's bowl, and said with a smile: "Try the Beihai shrimp in our Far East, even Emperor Chongzhen can't eat it in Daming." There is also this soup, you also have to drink more, it is all mountain goods in the mountains of the Northeast Outside, like Feilong, old ginseng or something, and now it can be sold at a sky-high price in Daming, so you can't buy it. ”
Lu Yun saw that Li Ming kept putting vegetables on her, and the grievances in her heart were slightly lighter, and she picked up the chopsticks and ate them without a bite, but her appetite was obviously not good.
Li Ming knew that he was indeed a little anxious today, after all, Lu Yun was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was a junior high school student in modern society. And she was born in Daming since she was a child, how could she adapt all of a sudden. But he doesn't regret it, the ugly words are in front, it's better than waiting for things to mess up and then remedy them later, if it's that time, I'm afraid it will really hurt my feelings.
Lu Yun was obviously not in the mood to eat, so he only ate a few bites and left. Hanako didn't dare to speak until Lu Yun left, and then she said to Li Ming: "Let Miss Lu take care of this family, I don't care." ”
Li Mingyi waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I know it in my heart." What kind of house is he a little girl in charge of, if she is in charge of the house, just like your nest, you must not let the master and servant bully to death. ”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, and then said to Hanako: "I've been staying with Miss Lu for a longer time these days, don't be jealous." ”
After Li Ming finished speaking, he touched Hanako's face with his hand, and then turned around and left. Hanako's face flushed, and she turned her head to look at Li Ming's back, her heart was warm, and her eyes were a little moist.
Leaving the restaurant, Li Ming went directly to Lu Yun's courtyard. Pushing the door and walking into the house, I found that Lu Yun's master and servant were sitting together with grievances on their faces, obviously crying just now.
Li Ming was also a little unbearable in his heart, and said to Lu Yun with a smile: "Let's go...... Go to my study, I have something to tell you......"
came to Li Ming's study, and Lu Yun stood in front of Li Ming with his head down. Although he didn't say anything, he could still see the grievances on his face, and he must have some resentment in his heart.
