Chapter 110 There Aren't So Many Rules
Lu Jinyan is lazy, mainly because she was exhausted in her previous life. Now that she finally has a chance to be lazy, she doesn't want to bother with anything. So she plans to hand over all the big and small things at home to Chuchu to manage, and she can just lie around doing nothing!
Although it was a bit unethical to do this, she was simply too lazy to bother with such matters.
Lu Jinyan looked at the seven men and women in front of her. They were all neatly dressed. Except for one short and thin girl, the others were all quite good-looking.
"What's your name?" Lu Jinyan stood in front of the demon slave that Lin Churan had chosen.
"Replying to Miss, my name is Cuizhu!" Cuizhu respectfully bowed to Lu Jinyan.
"Cuizhu, a nice name. From now on, you'll serve Chu Ran. Liuxu, take her to Chu Ran!" Lu Jinyan said to Liuxu behind her. This person was originally bought for Lin Chu Ran, so naturally she should be sent to Lin Chu Ran.
"Yes, miss!"
"Yes, Miss!" Cuizhu obediently bowed and then followed Liuxu away. She had just overheard that, apart from the people in this mansion and Liuxu, everyone else addressed Lu Jinyan as "Miss," while calling Chuchu "Second Miss." So she naturally followed suit.
"What's your name?" Lu Jinyan walked up to another man.
"Reporting to Miss, this servant is Qingshan!" Qingshan also bowed respectfully to Lu Jinyan.
"Qingshan, from now on you'll be responsible for staying by Ruohan's side! Yuanyi, take him to Ruohan's courtyard!" Lu Jinyan said to Yuanyi, who was standing to the side.
"Yes, Miss!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Qingshan and Yuan Yi agreed and then left.
"And the three of you? What are your names?" Lu Jinyan then turned to look at the remaining three women.
"Reporting to Miss, this servant calls for Taozhi!"
"Reporting to Miss, this servant calls for Taoye!"
Peach Branch and Peach Leaf are twins. The two sisters look very alike and are quite good-looking.
"Replying to Miss, this servant...this servant calls for Tangyuan!" Tangyuan replied somewhat cautiously.
Lu Jinyan looked at Tangyuan and thought to herself, "You're so thin, you're like a skeleton. You don't look like a glutinous rice ball at all." But she still held back her anger.
Tangyuan was that low-ranking demon slave. Her appearance was not outstanding, and she was even somewhat ugly, but Lu Jinyan did not mind.
"And you two? What are your names?"
"Your Highness, my name is Stone!"
"Your Highness, my name is Lin Zi!"
The two men immediately bowed and answered!
Lu Jinyan nodded, then looked at Chu Chu beside her and said, "Chu Chu, you can arrange things for the five of them!"
"Okay, don't worry, Yan Yan!" Chu Chu nodded obediently.
"Alright, it's getting late, hurry up and cook, I'm starving!" Lu Jinyan said anxiously, rubbing her rumbling stomach.
"Lingyuan, I'm going to the kitchen, so you don't need to go. You can go back to the courtyard, or wander around. I'll call you when it's time to eat!" Lu Jinyan was just about to go to the kitchen when she noticed that Lingyuan was still following behind her.
I thought to myself, if I go cook, you won't be able to help, and it'll be too crowded anyway, so I might as well go play by myself.
Ling Yuan nodded without refusing. Lu Jinyan then hurriedly headed towards the kitchen. Chu Chu looked at the five people in front of her, handed the two men over to Du Che, and asked him to show them around. From now on, Lin Zi would be in charge of guarding the gate, Shi Tou and Tang Yuan would be in charge of cleaning, and the two sisters, Tao Zhi and Tao Ye, would be in charge of learning to cook from her.
After making the arrangements, Chu Chu took Tao Zhi and Tao Ye to the kitchen. When they arrived, Lu Jin Yan had already put the rice in the pot, and Liu Xu and Liu Qing also came to help. With many hands making light work, the kitchen soon filled with a delicious aroma.
Taozhi and Taoye studied very diligently, and Chuchu and the others taught very seriously. Lingyuan looked at the busy figure in the kitchen and felt a little incredulous.
He thought that when she said she was going to the kitchen, she just wanted to take a look. He never expected that she would actually cook for herself. Her skillful movements were as if she had done it countless times, and she didn't look like a young lady at all.
He was originally just strolling around the mansion when he was drawn in by a series of fragrant aromas. Following the scent, he arrived at the kitchen and saw Lu Jinyan chopping vegetables with her sleeves rolled up, her movements skilled and fluid.
After chopping the vegetables, she heated the oil in the wok and skillfully began to stir-fry the vegetables. As she swung the spatula in her hand, a fragrant aroma of food wafted out.
Before long, plates of fragrant dishes were served on the table. There were two tables in the dining room, each with the same dishes.
"Taozhi, go and call Yuan Yi and the others to come over for dinner. Liuxu, go and call Chu Ran. Liuqing, go and call Ruohan. Taoye, go and call Lingyuan. Hurry up, or the food will get cold!"
As Lu Jinyan finished cooking the last dish, she gave instructions to the people around her, who all nodded in unison and replied, "Yes!"
Then he turned and left.
"Chuchu, check how the soup is. If it's ready, serve it!" Lu Jinyan served the last dish and called out to Chuchu beside her.
"Alright, alright, I already checked, it's ready a long time ago!" Chu Chu smiled and ladled out the soup.
"Alright, all done. Let's go, let's eat! I'm starving!"
Lu Jinyan said playfully, and Chu Chu glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? What if someone hears this?"
Although Chu Chu was used to Lu Jinyan's crazy talk, now that there were many people in the family, she, as the mistress, still had to be careful.
"Hey, there's no one else here. You've heard of this before, it's not a big problem, it's not a big problem!"
Lu Jinyan waved her hand, picked up the last dish, and urged Chu Chu to hurry up and follow.
When the food was served, everyone had arrived. Lu Jinyan was a very easygoing person. She didn't distinguish between main and secondary seats. Everyone could sit wherever they wanted. If one table was full, they could sit at another table. The food was the same for everyone, so they could sit anywhere.
"Sit down, sit down and eat quickly, I'm starving!" Lu Jinyan said and sat down first. Chu Chu sat to her left, Lin Churan sat to her right, followed by Ruohan. Ling Yuan consciously sat down next to Lin Churan. He wanted to sit next to Lu Jinyan, but there was no seat for him.
Next came Liu Qing, Liu Xu, Yuan Yi, and Du Che. The newcomers looked at each other, not daring to move. How could servants and masters eat in the same room?
Even though they weren't at the same table, they didn't dare, so they all stood there dumbfounded without making a move. A master is a master, and a demon slave is a demon slave; they had learned many rules while in the demon slave market.
