Cheng's mother sighed and said, "Reading the account books is boring and boring, and it is reasonable that the princess does not like to read it, but now it is different, the princess is not here, you don't care about this house, but some people want to take care of it." ”

Minglan nodded again and again, and said humbly, "I know, I must learn how to take care of the housekeeper, and Lao Cheng's mother has bothered to teach me, don't think I'm stupid." ”

Cheng's mother smiled, "You are the top of the heart of the prince, how can you be stupid, the princess is too modest." ”

A sentence of the tip of the heart made Minglan's face full of flying clouds, which was a little more gorgeous than the sunset in the sky.

Seeing that Minglan was shy, Cheng's mother said, "The princess has just returned to the house, and she must be tired, you rest first, I will go back to Haitang Garden to clean up, and then move to Jinhuaxuan, Chen's mother will take care of Jinhuaxuan, and I will only help you manage the palace." ”

Minglan nodded.

Chen's mother smiled, "It just so happens that I have nothing at hand, I'll help you move things." ”

"That's good," Cheng's mother said briskly.

When they left, Minglan sat down and flipped through the account book, and after turning a few pages, she went back to the inner room.

An hour later, Cheng's mother moved all her things to Jinhuaxuan, lived in a room with Chen's mother, and the two got along very well.

Inside the house, Minglan and Chu Li were having lunch.

Biting his chopsticks, Minglan looked at Chu Li and asked, "When will the concubine return to the palace?"

Chu Li shook his head lightly, "I can't say for sure, maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's next year, or maybe I won't come back for the rest of my life." ”

What kind of answer is this, it is the same as not saying it, Minglan said wistfully, "I really hope that the concubine will come back soon, such a thick account book, after reading two pages, I have a headache." ”

Chu Li hooked his lips and said, "It's okay to deceive me with this, Mother Cheng is very shrewd, you can't fool her by pretending to be stupid." ”

"I'm so stupid. ”

“…… I believe. ”

Minglan rolled his eyes, stopped talking, and while pulling rice, he was thinking about how to fool Cheng's mother and let her stay longer.

After eating, Minglan walked around the garden twice, and when he was a little tired, he fell asleep on the couch.

Cheng's mother stood outside the bead curtain and took a look, supported her forehead, her eyes were a little helpless, she had never seen someone who was so indifferent to the housekeeper's rights, such a big palace, and if you loosen your hand casually, it would be a matter of eight hundred taels of thousands of children.

Chen's mother said that the princess was not short of money, and she was not interested in housekeeping, which seemed to be true.

Minglan fell asleep, she didn't dare to disturb, but Minglan couldn't sleep all the time, no, as soon as she got up, Cheng's mother showed her face outside the bead curtain.

What can Minglan do, he can only get up, clean up, and obediently learn housekeeping from Cheng's mother.

The account book was moved to the flower hall, and seeing Minglan's bitterness and hatred, Cheng's mother shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, the princess, the housekeeper is actually not difficult at all, you are so smart, in less than ten days, you will be a good housekeeper." ”

Minglan nodded, and said with high morale, "I must learn it as soon as possible." ”

After sitting down, Cheng's mother taught Minglan to be a housekeeper.

Chen's mother stood aside and watched, Cheng's mother taught very carefully, what she said was simple and easy to understand, Minglan couldn't pretend to be stupid if she wanted to.

But after Chen's mother left, Cheng's mother didn't teach so meticulously, and she mentioned many important points, either without mentioning them.

These are the easiest places to make mistakes, and a trace of suspicion flashed in Minglan's heart.

Could it be that Cheng's mother just said that she should learn to be a housekeeper as soon as possible, but in fact, she has the same idea as her, and wants to drag it until the princess returns home?

But why did she hide it from Chen's mother?

Minglan was puzzled.

Chen's mother just went to deal with Jinhuaxuan's affairs, and when she was done, she came over to listen again.

After all, Cheng's mother helps the princess manage such a big palace, and she is well-informed, and Chen's mother wants to take the opportunity to learn a little more, and in the future, Cheng's mother will return to the princess, and she will be the one who helps Minglan take care of the house.

She should do her best, and she can't let the housekeeping in Minglan's hands be robbed by others, this is her loyalty.

Then Minglan found that as soon as Chen's mother came, Cheng's mother's teaching was as meticulous as before.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng's mother smiled, "I said so much at once, but the princess understands everything?"

Minglan didn't speak, and Mother Chen smiled and said, "Mother Cheng has made it easy, I have understood everything, and the princess must have understood." ”

Cheng's mother nodded and smiled, "It's good to understand, I said so much in one breath, princess, you can rest for a while, have a cup of tea, and eat some snacks." ”

Bizhu hurriedly came over to help Cheng's mother change a new cup of tea.

Minglan flipped through the account books, she felt that Cheng's mother really hoped that she would take over the account books and treasury keys as soon as possible, so that she could go back to the princess.

But she didn't want her to really learn to be a housekeeper, so she taught half and kept half.

In the Bofu, Minglan didn't learn much about housekeeping, Chen's mother knew very well, and Cheng's mother must have inquired in advance.

She doesn't know how to take care of the house, and Bizhu and Sydney don't understand it.

I don't know anything, so naturally I'm so confused, but Chen's mother is in charge of Jinhuaxuan, and it must be difficult to fool, so in front of Chen's mother, she said it so meticulously and easily understandable.

Originally, Minglan's suspicions about Cheng's mother had been eliminated, but now, she was even more suspicious.

That mystery was condensed in her heart, and she didn't get rid of the unhappiness.

After taking a sip of tea, Minglan looked at Cheng's mother, her clean eyes were full of curiosity, and asked with anticipation, "Cheng's mother told me about the mother's concubine, you are so trusted by the mother's concubine, you must have grown up watching her since childhood, right?"

Cheng's mother nodded and smiled, "It's not that I watched the princess grow up, the princess was not born yet, I entered the Chu family, in a blink of an eye, most of my life passed like this, speaking of which, I have followed the princess, and I have never left the princess for more than three days, this time it has been half a month, my heart is empty." ”

Bizhu and Sydney have a deep understanding of this.

The princess is their backbone, and if they can't see it for a day, they will be wrong, and they can't lift their spirits by doing anything.

They have only been with the princess for a few years, and Cheng's mother has been serving the princess for decades, and the relationship will only deepen.

Minglan scratched her forehead, isn't this a bend urging her to learn to be a housekeeper quickly, Cheng's mother smiled, "The princess loves the princess the most, leave me to look at it, she is also at ease, when you can take charge of it alone, this palace, there will be no princess to worry about." ”

What she wants to know is what happened before the princess got married, especially the years when she was taken back to the Zhao family to live, not these.

Minglan led the topic to the Zhao family, and she said, "Before I met Xianggong, I heard a lot about the mother concubine, especially the matter of the mother concubine replacing the deceased General Chu and the old lady Chu succeeding the general Chu Ding Lintel, which is even more thunderous, you also know that some things have more ears, and the taste has changed, you accompany the mother concubine, no one is more detailed than you know, you can tell me about it." ”
