Xie Ze accompanied the An brothers to have dinner. Before the tea was served, the sand tray was moved in.

Zhou E also went away and refused to return it.

Li Ran went to see the An brothers' yard. Although she couldn't see any good or bad things, she still looked at them very seriously. She couldn't see anything this time, and next time, she would be able to see it.

I just looked at it carefully. The old lady guarding the club trotted in and reported that the first group of servants in charge should see the princess.

Li Ran called him into the Imperial Hall and saw him one by one.

Most of the foreign managers who came here accounted for more than half, almost all of whom were over forty years old. The old managers who led everyone over came here will be sixty after the New Year.

Li Ran only listened to them introducing themselves one by one, and took care of each person's expertise for the time being.

After leaving the office, Madam Sang followed Li Ran and said with a low smile: "Speaking of this, it has been more than 20 years since the mansion has been selected. First, it was because it was not peaceful and later came to the capital..."

Madam Sang didn't say anything later.

Li Ran looked at her, and Madam Sang faced Li Ran's gaze, lowered her eyelids, and said vaguely.

"The prince never paid attention to these mundane affairs before."

Li Ran said softly.

It’s not that Xie Ze ignored the mundane affairs, but that Xie Ze had no intention of joining the world at all, so the Xie family was trapped because of Xie Ze’s situation.

"According to the previous rules, the mansion will pick people every three years, seven, nine, and eleven years old, and each will pick a group of people.

After the Chinese New Year, if the princess has time, she will pick up a group of people and follow you to take care of her business. After three or five years of study, she will be able to get some jobs.”

Madam Sang said a little vaguely, but Li Ran could hear it clearly.

This is to ask her to pick people and learn rules and abilities from her hands. Compared with the ready-made personnel who are directly selected, these people must be very different in their relationship with her and Xie Ze. They can be regarded as their personal personalities.

"Well, I'll pick a batch after the Chinese New Year."

Li Ran answered directly.

"Yes." All Madam Sang could hear excitement and smile.

Li Ran glanced at her.

"Everyone was very happy when he heard the letter from the prince and the princess.

It would be easy for the Xie family to come out to manage the business, and it would take fifteen or sixteen years to study. It would be extremely rare to become a manager at the age of 40.

Not to mention one's own skills, it's almost the same, but..."

Madam Sang sighed softly.

"I've been idle all the time, now I finally have a job and I'm very happy."

Li Ran was silent for a moment and nodded softly.

………………………………………

It was not until after dinner that Xie Ze returned to the main courtyard.

Li Ran heard the words "The prince is back and jumped off the kang, and Xie Ze had already lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Facing Li Ran's smile, she reached out to catch her, looked down at Li Ran's feet wearing socks, and smiled while pushing her back to the kang.

"Have you eaten dinner?" Xie Ze looked at Li Ran and asked with a hint of caution, as if he was still a little uneasy.

"Yes!" Li Ran responded happily.

"Originally, we were going to the village today. I should have been with you for a few days, but today... I feel wronged."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran's expression.

"I don't feel wronged."

Li Ran looked at Ziqi putting tea in front of Xie Ze, then left the house, and then continued:

"Brothers of An come here. I have been busy with such a big deal for a day. I invited Mrs. An to come here and asked her what her plans were for An's family.

Mrs. An said that, like the An brothers, the reason why the An family is An family is because they have been on the battlefield and have no other ideas.

I also asked Mrs. Xie to come over, and asked her to pass the message. I asked some people to come over. It has arrived and has been arranged.

In the afternoon, they packed up the An brothers' yard and I went over to see it again.

I didn't know where it was good or bad, so I opened my face tightly, and I looked like I was picky and listened to them... "

Xie Ze, who was siping tea, burst into laughter.

"What's so funny about this? I don't know where to look this time, but I will understand some tricks next time. Next time, I will be able to find out the problem.

I don't know anything, you know this."

Li Ran smiled slantedly and Xie Ze.

"I know, I'm not laughing at you, I'm..."

Xie Ze raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughed, looked at Li Ran, and said seriously:

"Next time, don't be flirting. You are like me, and when you are silent, you will look very strict. If you flirt with your face, those people are newly added to you. I don't know your temper and personality, I'm afraid you will be frightened."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment before she realized.

Is he praising her? Or is he laughing at her?

Anyway, just like him...well, just like him.

"good."

Hearing Li Ran's extremely utterly good, Xie Ze laughed again, smiling while signaling Li Ran, "What else did you do?"

"The people who came this time were all very old, the youngest, and the oldest, and the oldest, were over 60 years old.

Madam Sang said that according to the rules of the Xie family, after the age of 60, it is time to return home to retire. Now they have come here because of the war and later because of you, the rules of the Xie family picking people every three years have not been restored.

I told Madam Sang that after the first month of the year, we will pick some people up.

Madam Sang said that if you pick someone, you will be able to use it for ten years."

Li Ran continued.

Xie Ze nodded, "It's not that I'm not just stopping and not picking. The servants around me have always been picking every three years and every five years.

I haven’t picked new people for many years when I’m an internal house and an external manager.

After a pause, Xie Ze looked at Li Ran.

"From today, I'm afraid I'll be busy. After the Chinese New Year, can I live in the first lunar month at home? It's all the time. You can only choose the people yourself. Is it okay?"

"I think I can do it."

Li Ran said politely.

Xie Ze smiled again, for a moment, leaned forward, looked at Li Ran carefully and asked, "I haven't been able to have dinner with you today. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid it's all like this. After the Chinese New Year, if I order my governor's food and grass, I'm afraid I won't be at home for as long as I can.

Can't be with you all the time, you?"

"If you accompany me every day, I will accompany you every day. If there is so much work in our family, who will do?"

Li Ran sighed as she had just listed a long list of things that had not been completed.

Xie Ze was stunned for four or five breaths, and sighed with an indescribable expression on his face. He raised his hand to Li Ran's shoulder and sighed again.

"From I can remember, Mrs. Shao's supper must be accompanied by Mrs. Xie. If he was not at home, she would not eat."

Xie Ze's voice was very low.

"Once, I remember it very clearly. Xie Shangshu went to buy arms and returned in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Shao waited until midnight, and Arun and I stayed with me. We didn’t have dinner and were not allowed to go to bed.”

Xie Ze's words stopped and looked out the window without any focus. After a while, he suddenly felt enlightened. He looked at Li Ran who was looking at him with concern and smiled bitterly: "It's all over."

Li Ran raised her hand and pressed it on Xie Ze's chest.

"Well, Mrs. Shao said, you are like Secretary Xie, both people who value love. You are different from Secretary Xie, and I am even more different from her.

We two, like…”

Li Ran was thinking about what to say.

"Elephant partner? Are you called a partner? You and I are your partners of life. Life is like a battlefield. We two, back to back. There are your swords and guns in front of you, and there are my swords and guns in front of me.

Because I have you behind me, I just need to care about the moment.

These are enough.

I don’t need you to eat with me every day, I can eat myself.”
