Chapter 14 Prince Duan's Mansion
Today is the agreed three-day period, early in the morning, An Qingqian led Xiaokui to hold the brocade box and came to Xia Youluo, with excitement and nervousness in his eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know if I've messed up? Has she thought about it? Will she agree? Rong Qingqian felt that she had never been so uneasy.
As soon as I entered the second door, I saw Qiu's mother and Jay Yi waiting in the hall, and the two were talking to each other.
"Yayi, Mother Qiu, you are all here. Seeing the clothes, An Qingqian's face glowed with dazzling brilliance.
"Miss Rong San, you're here!"
"Mother Qiu, Jaya should have told you, I came to pick her up today......" Rong Qing looked at Jayi with a shallow look.
"Jalan Yi told me, you can go with me to go through the formalities and leave. Even though Qiu's mother is reluctant to give up, she knows that it is not her long-term plan to go down, and she should not belong here.
"Really?,...... I agreed," Rong Qingqian took the hand of the and kept shaking.
"Good birds choose trees to perch, I believe in you. ”
"I won't let you down, Xiaokui, you and Mother Qiu go through the formalities, and I'll help Jayi pack up. An Qingqian said and handed the brocade box in his hand to Xiao Kui, which contained all her net worth except for jewelry.
"Third Miss, can I discuss something with you?"
"You say something. ”
"I have a good friend named An Taizhi, he is an upright person and has martial arts, can you take him with you?"
"As long as Mother Qiu is willing to let go, I have no problem. "It doesn't hurt for her to have more than one of her own people.
"When are we leaving?"
"Now, the sooner the better! ”
Although Rong Qingqian was in an urgent mood, when the formalities were handed over and the farewells were finished, it was close to noon, and the group got into the carriage, so they hurried to Prince Duan's mansion.
As soon as you get off the carriage, you will see the gate of the palace, which is majestic and solemn.
The exquisitely carved shadow wall blocks everyone's view and makes it impossible to see the situation of the inner house. A group of people walked through the weeping flower gate, along the hand-copying verandah all the way forward, and then walked through the moon gate, around the courtyard, and finally arrived at a quiet courtyard "Qingyuan", this is the place where Rong Qingqian lives.
Along the way, five steps, one painting, ten steps and one scene, the pavilions and pavilions with unique shapes all show the prominent status of the owner's family, and in this bleak winter, you can also see lush trees everywhere, and some unknown flowers.
Because An Taizhi and Qi Ao were foreign men and could not enter the inner courtyard, Rong Qingqian settled them in the upside-down subordinate room. Jayi naturally lives in the ear room of Qing Yuan, adjacent to the room with a shallow appearance.
Qingyuan has an independent kitchen, because Rong Qingqian's physical condition is not good, so she has always eaten in her own courtyard, saving a lot of trouble in establishing rules, although the diet is not exquisite and rich, but also comfortable. But it is also essential to save every morning and dusk.
After settling down hastily, Rong Qingqian summoned all the maids in Qingyuan to take care of his mother.
Rong Qingqian is a concubine, so according to normal, there should be at least two first-class maids, two second-class maids, two rough maids, one grandmother, and two mothers-in-law.
Now there is only one first-class maid in Xiaokui in Qingyuan, and the rest have two second-class maids Huanxi and Huansha, coarse maids agarwood and Shen Yin, and there is also Mama Gui who served her mother before her death, and now she is also the housekeeper of Qingyuan, and the princess Wang who is in charge of the kitchen, and the lady Zhao who is in charge of the treasury, a total of eight people.
Except for Xiaokui and Mama Gui, the rest of the subordinates were all transferred by the princess to serve her not long ago.
"Everyone listens, this is a mess, and in the future, she will be a first-class maid in Qingyuan, and I hope that the big guys can live together in harmony and get along well in the future. Rong Qingqian solemnly introduced Jay Yi to everyone, and she was also supporting her in disguise.
Everyone didn't feel much about the arrival of Jayyi, but Huanxi Huansha and the two of them were not good-looking, and they thought that if they wanted to promote a first-class maid, they had to be promoted from one of the two of them, after all, they were the maids appointed to her by the princess, so they were a little decent. Who would have thought, what kind of maid came to the airborne halfway, and took the lead. What is her origin? Can she get past the princess?
Among the eight people, except for Xiaokui and Mama Gui, all of them disobeyed Rong Qingqian's orders, and they didn't take it to heart at all, looking mediocre and scattered.
Next is lunch time, the small kitchen presents three dishes and one soup, asparagus soup, stir-fried lotus root slices, white water tofu, vinegared cabbage. It's all vegetarian dishes, and the feeling is feeding the rabbits! No wonder Rong Qing's face is a dish, and whoever eats like this for many years will be malnourished.
I don't know if it's because Rong Qingqian is too easy to talk, or because these slaves are too arrogant, in short, Rong Qingqian's days in the palace are not as glamorous as they seem on the surface. If it weren't for Prince Duan's sake, it is estimated that these people would have climbed to Rong Qingqian's head.
Since Jalan Yi has received this errand, he naturally wants to plan for An Qingqian, and it is best to clear the atmosphere of Qingyuan before Prince Duan leaves the house.
Jaya Yi and Xiao Kui served Rong Qingqian for dinner together, Jaya had just arrived at the palace, although Rong Qingqian repeatedly asked Jay Yi to go down to settle down and rest, but Jaya Yi insisted on serving her.
Originally, she was airborne to become a first-class maid, and some people were dissatisfied, if she engaged in particularism again, those maids would not have to swallow her alive.
"The third lady can't help but eat too plain!" Yayi frowned slightly, although this was said to Rong Qing, in fact, it was mainly said to Mrs. Wang, killing chickens and monkeys, let's take this Mrs. Wang first! Who called her to deceive people too much!
Rong Qingqian is the young lady of the palace, even if it is a young lady from a small family, there is more than this kind of treatment, judging from the momentum of the palace just now, it does not look like it will shorten the master's food.
In this case, either the princess treats the concubine harshly and secretly authorizes the subordinates to do it deliberately, or the princess fills her own pocket with her intention to see the benefits. No matter what, it is necessary for her to remind Rong Qingqian.
Jayi has been paying attention to the changes in Mrs. Wang's expression secretly, but she only has a slight flute, but her expression has not changed much, and she is not panicked at all, "You should not eat too much, and the girl's family should eat lightly, which will help to maintain a perfect posture." ”
"That's what I said, but Miss is still young, how can she grow her body without entering the meat?" And look at Rong Qingqian's appearance, compared to a young lady of the same age, her body is obviously smaller, and she can be blown away by a gust of wind, what posture do you need to maintain, obviously talking nonsense with her eyes open.
"Miss has always eaten like this before, and I don't see anything unusual, why don't you come here and that, it's so majestic!"
Rong Qingqian was also very unhappy when he heard Mrs. Wang's tone, "It's also for my good to mess with clothes, and the doctor also said before that my condition needs more tonic in order to strengthen my physique, and the disease can be cured." ”
"Which doctor said it, it's not a quack doctor!" The third lady, who has always been easy to handle, suddenly changed her sex today and obeyed this trick, this is not a good sign.
"When will it be your turn to point fingers at my affairs, just such a trivial matter, you will push back and block, is it because I am usually too easy to speak, or is it a big bully for your slave!"
A big hat of a slave bully was buttoned down, and the princess knelt down calmly for a moment.
"The old slave didn't dare, the old slave received the princess's errand, and he had always served the young lady conscientiously, so he didn't dare to be careless. "She was assigned by the princess, and she is a timid concubine, so she doesn't dare to fight against the princess.
"Oh, then what do you mean, the princess instructed you to do this! Mrs. Wang, you dare to maliciously slander the princess and provoke the mother-daughter friendship between them, so bold!"
Today, this princess is in trouble, or she has to admit that she is a slave and a bully, and she is ineffective, putting aside the protection of the princess, and obediently accepting Rong Qingqian's punishment. Or, she has to confess to the princess and admit that the princess instructed her to do this, then the princess will have to bear a mean reputation for treating concubines harshly, if so, not only will she not be able to stay in Qingyuan, but the princess will have to expose her skin.
Which is more important, the princess weighed it slightly, and kowtowed, "Miss Mingjian, it's the old slave who is not doing well, and it is not the princess's business, please forgive the young lady." ”
At this time, the princess didn't dare to mention the princess again, for fear of confirming the relationship between her and the princess. It is better to offend an unfavored young lady than to offend the head of the palace.
"Mrs. Wang, I see that you are the old man of the palace, it is nothing for me to be wronged, but today you are almost tired and the princess's reputation is damaged, based on this, I can't spare you lightly, go down and get the twenty boards!"
She brought out the princess and punished people in order to protect the princess's reputation, and even if it was spread, everyone would only praise her filial piety, and would not criticize her for being violent and harsh on her subordinates.
"Of course, if someone dares to show favoritism, they should be punished as an accomplice!" If you want to come, you can come to the full set, but you can't pick it up and put it down gently, you must let the princess deeply understand the thunderous anger of the master, and let all the forces of Qingyuan be restrained a little.
