Making someone kneel and beg for food was a serious insult. Even if it was a domestic animal, it would not kneel and accept food. At most, it would wag its tail to please its master.
In other words, in this old housekeeper Zhou's heart, the pitiful housekeeper Zhao was even worse than the pigs and dogs at home.
The serious insult caused Housekeeper Zhao to be stunned for a moment. He stood on the spot in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
Although he was now a cripple, after all, he had been a housekeeper for many years. He still had the most basic self-respect. He really couldn't kneel and beg for food.
"Aiyoyo, you're already so hungry, yet you're still holding on to that pitiful bit of pride. Then you can starve! Let's go. "
The old Steward Zhou seemed to have only made a joke. Seeing that Steward Zhao was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, he still had a trace of backbone. He smiled and took his leave.
'Steward Zhao' rubbed his flat stomach and walked to the wall with a melancholy expression. He leaned against the wall and sat down, as if he no longer had the strength to stand.
Ang Lee walked to the bun shop at the side and looked at Kun Xiong and Fei Yu, "Let them go in and eat the buns! Also, untie the ropes on the hands of the Kunlun slaves. They are not familiar with this place, these Kunlun slaves will not run away. "
"Yes, Big Brother."
Kun Xiong and Fei Yu allowed the four Xinluo maids and the four Kunlun slaves to enter the bun shop and bought enough buns for them to enjoy. It could be seen that these slaves had never eaten their fill before. When they saw the food, they didn't hold back and started eating.
Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and the four bodyguards who came with them also began to eat. Even Ang Lee took three steamed buns.
"Who is the beggar squatting by the wall? How long has he been here? "
Ang Lee asked as he looked at the bun shop owner.
When the bun shop owner saw that Ang Lee was someone with a powerful background, he didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly explained the beggar's identity.
It turned out that this middle-aged man who looked similar to a beggar was the housekeeper of a large family. His surname was Zhao and his name was Liu. When he was young, he was an orphan. He was taken in as a servant by a noble surnamed Zhao, so he followed the surname Zhao. This person was lively and grateful to the master. He was very loyal. Therefore, when he grew up, he naturally became the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion.
Originally, Housekeeper Zhao's life was flourishing, but something unexpected happened. Noble Lady Zhao's family was implicated in a major case in the imperial court and was thrown into prison. They were quickly executed, and all the servants were dismissed.
For those servants who had families, they would naturally go home. Housekeeper Zhao had lived in the Zhao Mansion since he was a child and was homeless. He also wanted to work in another mansion as a servant, but no noble would want someone who had been a housekeeper. Therefore, he could only work as a beggar in the mule shop. What if he met a master who was willing to take him in?
"This person shouldn't be young. Why didn't he have a family?"
Ang Lee found a loophole. Since this person was a housekeeper, he shouldn't be too poor. How could he not have a wife? If he had a wife, he should have a family.
"You don't know, Langjun. This person is quite tall, but his body is defective. Many people know this, so it's useless for him to have a wife."
The bun shop owner smiled as if gossiping about other people's embarrassing matters was a very happy thing.
"This person's body is defective? But his heart is fine. At least he has a trace of backbone and is very loyal to his previous master. "
Ang Lee didn't discriminate against people with physical defects. After all, it wasn't important to him.
"Langjun, a stray dog like this has backbone?"
The bun shop owner sneered.
Ang Lee smiled faintly. He picked up a basket of freshly steamed buns and strode toward Housekeeper Zhao who was leaning against the wall. The bun shop owner was shocked and widened his eyes.
Freshly steamed buns were very fragrant and filled with an intoxicating smell. Especially for people who had been hungry for a long time, being able to eat delicious buns was definitely an extreme enjoyment.
Zhao Liu, who had closed his eyes due to hunger, slowly opened his eyes when he smelled the fragrance of the buns. Moreover, it was getting closer and closer.
"Take it, these are all for you."
Ang Lee handed a basket of buns to Zhao Liu. Seeing Zhao Liu subconsciously accept it, he smiled and turned to return to the bun shop.
Zhao Liu looked at Ang Lee in bewilderment as he walked away step by step. He didn't know why Ang Lee would give him buns, but at this moment, he was very hungry. How could he not eat when the delicious food was right in front of him?
There were twelve buns in one basket, which added up to two or three catties. Zhao Lu ate all of the buns in one go, and even ate some of the buns that stuck to the straw mat. From this, it could be seen how hungry he was.
Li An stood at the entrance of the bun shop and watched as Zhao Lu ate all the buns without leaving a single one behind. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Zhao Liu ate Ang Lee's buns and was naturally very grateful. He hurriedly carried the empty basket to Ang Lee's side and thanked Ang Lee gratefully before returning the empty basket to the bun shop owner.
"Are you full? Want another basket? "
Ang Lee asked straightforwardly.
"Thank you, Langjun. I'm full. May I ask your name so that I can know who my benefactor is?"
After all, Zhao Liu had been a butler before, so he spoke appropriately.
"I'm Ang Lee, the Lieutenant General of the Right Dragon Army. Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Wang

】”
Ang Lee didn't hide anything and directly introduced himself.
"General Li? Zhao Liu thanks General Li for giving me food. "
Zhao Liu looked excited as he knelt down to thank Ang Lee. The bun shop owner also looked at him with respect.
Normally, the capital was the administrative center of the Tang dynasty. There were many high-ranking officials, so it was not surprising to meet a fifth-rank official in the market. However, Ang Lee's official position was not high, but he was very famous. This made the bun shop owner and Zhao Liu very excited.
"Don't kneel. Get up."
Ang Lee gently helped Zhao Liu up and asked with a smile, "Just now, someone asked you to kneel, but you hesitated. Why?"
"General Li, Zhou Ba deliberately humiliated me just now. Of course, I didn't want to. Now, I'm willing to thank General Li. Besides, who is Zhou Ba? How can he be compared with General Li? I've never seen my biological parents in my life. I won't kneel to anyone except Master Zhao and his wife and General Li. Even if I starve to death, it won't be expensive. "
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Zhao Liu, you have some backbone. However, if you see His Majesty, won't you kneel?"
"General Li, you must be joking. I'm just a mediocre person. How can I see His Majesty?"
Zhao Liu obviously didn't think that he could see His Majesty, even if they lived in the same city.
Ang Lee smiled faintly and asked, "Zhao Liu, what are your plans for the future?"
Zhao Liu was slightly stunned. Ang Lee actually knew his name. However, when he saw the owner of the bun shop next to him, he understood everything. These businessmen who did small businesses were well-informed. Most likely, he had already told Li An all his secrets. In other words, it was very likely that Li An already knew about his situation.
Why would Ang Lee be interested in him, a person who was like a stray dog? Zhao Liu thought for a moment and felt that Ang Lee was likely to need servants. After all, Ang Lee was a new noble in the Tang dynasty. It was normal for him to need people in the beginning stage. Looking at the Kunlun slaves eating buns in the bun shop, he was even more convinced of this point.
"General Li, Zhao Liu is homeless now. If General Li is willing to take me in, Zhao Liu is willing to be General Li's servant for the rest of my life."
Zhao Liu quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Okay, I heard that you used to be a butler. Can you manage these Kunlun slaves and Xinluo maids?"
Ang Lee pointed to the Kunlun slaves and Xinluo maids inside and asked seriously.
"General Li, Xinluo maids and Kunlun slaves are generally very obedient. It's not difficult to manage them."
Zhao Liu was overjoyed. It seemed that Ang Lee wanted him to be a butler.
Ang Lee certainly had this plan. He nodded and said, "Zhao Liu, from now on, you are my butler. These Kunlun slaves and Xinluo maids are under your management."
"Thank you, General Li … No … Thank you, Alang."
Zhao Liu was too excited. He had been a homeless dog in the mule and horse shop for more than a month. He was accompanied by mule and horse slaves every day. He was really about to break down. Now, Ang Lee was willing to take him in and even made him a butler. Happiness came too suddenly.
Ang Lee looked at the boss of the bun shop who had a guilty look on his face. "I want the rest of the buns. Pack them up and take them away."
"Yes, General. Yes, General."
The boss of the bun shop responded repeatedly. He quickly packed the remaining steamers of buns and handed them to Zhao Liu with a polite expression.
When Zhao Liu was begging just now, he had scolded Zhao Liu very impolitely. But now, he immediately changed his face. He changed his face faster than flipping a book.
After all, Zhao Liu's identity had changed. Just now, he was still a homeless dog. But now, he was the butler of Ang Lee's mansion. His identity was much higher than a small merchant who opened a bun shop.
People living in this world were sometimes so secular. Because only by living in the secular world could they live better and obtain the greatest benefits for themselves. Of course, people were not sages. Sometimes, it was inevitable that they would make mistakes in their judgment. Some people who seemed to be useless might have their luck turned around.
Just as Ang Lee had judged, these Kunlun slaves did not have the slightest intention of running away. After eating and drinking their fill, they obediently followed behind Ang Lee and the others.
"Zhao Liu, do you know any down-and-out teachers?"
"Alang, Zhao Liu has been in the capital for more than 30 years. He knows a lot of people. It's naturally not a problem to find a few down-and-out teachers. But what does Alang want to do?"
Zhao Liu still had some understanding of Ang Lee. This young hero of the Tang dynasty had not yet married, nor did he have any children or relatives. What did he need a teacher for?
"These Xinluo maids and Kunlun slaves can't speak the language of the Tang dynasty. I want them to learn it."
Ang Lee replied straightforwardly.
"Alang, these people only need to work hard. They don't need to speak the language of the Tang dynasty. It's too extravagant to hire a teacher to teach them how to speak. Moreover, these stupid people, I don't know when they can learn it."
Zhao Liu's face was full of disbelief.
"It's not just speaking. They also need to know how to write. I'll leave this matter to you. You must do it well."
Ang Lee gave an order that could not be disobeyed.
"Yes, Alang. Zhao Liu will do it well."
Later, Ang Lee bought a lot of daily necessities and asked the Xinluo maids and Kunlun slaves to carry them. These servants were really obedient. They neither ran away nor resisted along the way, as if they had been trained for a long time. Of course, perhaps because Ang Lee treated them to hot buns, they felt that this master was good, so they were willing to follow him.
After returning to the mansion, the four Xinluo maids were naturally arranged to live in the middle yard. Among the four black people, there was a girl who should also live in the middle yard. However, she seemed to prefer to live in the front yard with her three relatives. Ang Lee asked Zhao Liu not to force them for the time being and let them live together. Anyway, they were all relatives, so it didn't matter.
In addition, because the number of male servants was not enough, Ang Lee asked Zhao Liu to hire a few more male servants. Zhao Liu did not disappoint. He hired a few male servants who had worked in Noble Lady Zhao's house and arranged them to live in the front yard.
The guards of the mansion were the Dragon Warrior Army soldiers under Ang Lee's command. They took turns to guard the mansion in groups of eight and changed every half a month.
After recruiting a sufficient number of servants, the next step was naturally to renovate the mansion to make living here more comfortable.
The walkway had to be built as soon as possible. In addition, the large yard at the back had to be renovated. Some facilities in the main house had to be renovated. Even the kitchen in the front yard had to be renovated.
In this way, the renovation of the mansion was also a big project. However, with Zhao Liu as the butler, it was not difficult to find craftsmen and other jobs.
With sufficient funds, Ang Lee drew the projects he needed to renovate on the drawings and handed them to the craftsmen who came to work. He asked them to renovate the mansion according to the drawings.
The craftsmen understood the purpose of renovating the walkway. However, the craftsmen did not understand the remaining few things. The large backyard actually had to be built with a rectangular mud wall that was half the height of a person. This made the craftsmen feel very strange. The main house had to be built with some very strange things. Even the toilet had to be built with some strange things.
Although the craftsmen were a little confused, Li An had already handed the blueprints to them, and they only needed to build according to the blueprints. Anyway, they wouldn't raise any objections since they didn't have to pay a lot of money.
Money makes the world go round. Under the heavy reward, the craftsmen worked very hard. The renovation of the walkway and the construction of the wall that was half the height of a person in the backyard were completed in two days. This made Ang Lee very satisfied.
"Alang, the walkway has all been built. The wall of the backyard is done. Also, the straw rolls that you asked me to prepare are also here. Do you want to take a look?"
Zhao Liu did not understand what Ang Lee was doing. He could only tell Ang Lee the progress of the project.
