107 Establish rules
However, although Mother Yun's mind is not flexible enough, she is careful enough, Yingluo handed over the affairs of the Bright Moon Courtyard to Mother Yun to watch, she was very relieved, but she was more honored when she encountered something.
After saying that, she persuaded Yun's mother a few words, and when Yun's mother went out, Yingluo called Gu's mother, although Yun's mother is her nurse, but her personality dictates, these days, although she is more than loyal, her ability is insufficient, and her heart is soft.
Yingluo raised her eyes when she heard this, but looked at Yun's mother, and said: "The matter of the inner house, what do you tell the prince of the world, he is a gentleman, he worries about the inner house all day long, what is it like to interfere in the affairs of the inner house, mother rest assured, I am not a good person, mother and wait patiently for a few days, I have a way to get out." ”
Mother Yun was distressed when she saw this, and said: "Concubine Ming'er is still like this, how can this work, or talk to the prince about it......"
Yingluo walked slowly to the Kyaukyue Courtyard, and when she returned to the courtyard, Qin Yan had not come back, Yingluo entered the clean room and soaked her body for a while, and when she came out, she was already refreshed, and she changed into a homely gown and sat at the table of the Eight Immortals with the white fungus red date lotus seed soup brought by Yun's mother, the warm soup warmed her heart and lungs, and she squinted comfortably.
In the evening, it was estimated that Qin Yan was going back to the house, and Concubine Xie didn't dare to continue to keep Yingluo, so she sent Yingluo back to the Kyaukyue Courtyard.
She is old in the end, and she actually has to toss others herself, and she is used to being pampered, and at the end of the day, she only feels that she has not extinguished Yingluo's majesty, and she has not grasped Yingluo's mistakes, but she has made herself full of exhaustion.
Yingluo can't be safer than she is, and she can't find the slightest mistake. She is young, has a good physique, and is quite calm, after tossing like this for a day, her face is ruddy, and she doesn't see any tiredness, but Concubine Xie can't support it.
Concubine Xie took a nap, and Yingluo lay down on the blue gauze cabinet outside for a while, and waited until the afternoon to support Yingluo.
After serving Concubine Xie for lunch, Concubine Xie didn't have a moment to rest, and the fourth young master returned to the house, so Concubine Xie sent the Lu family back to serve the fourth young master, leaving Yingluo in the Fulu Courtyard.
Yingluo used the meal to return to Concubine Xie to serve, at that time Qin Yiyuan and other girls had already left, only Concubine Xie asked for water for a while and lay down for a while, instructing Yingluo and the Lu family to go around.
Presumably Concubine Xie also understands this, and she doesn't dare to go too far.
Yingluo nodded leisurely, not worried. If she didn't say that she had stomach problems, Concubine Xie couldn't say that she could still grab the Lu family to eat, why couldn't she do it, and scolded her for all kinds of complaints when she served the elders. But since she showed that she had stomach problems and couldn't eat cold, if Concubine Xie got angry again, she would be suspected of abusing her granddaughter-in-law, and if Concubine Xie dared to insist that she eat food, she dared to pretend that her stomach hurt and fainted.
Yijing heard that she was blessed with a blessed body, but said: "Later, the princess will go to ask the concubine." ”
Yingluo looked at Yijing unhurriedly, and said: "Sister Lao Yijing sent these meals to the small kitchen to heat them up again, I have stomach problems and can't eat cold things, the concubine is the most generous, and she treats her juniors so lovingly, presumably this little thing must be understandable." ”
Lu Shi hurriedly glanced at Yingluo, signaled her to use it quickly, and stood up and hurried out of the house.
But at this time, Concubine Xie's maid also came in, blessed her body and said: "The princess and the fourth young grandmother haven't used it up yet, the concubine wants to use tea, and the slaves and maids are just afraid that it will not be good to brew clumsy and clumsy......"
Seeing that her words were obviously not taken to heart, Lu Shi didn't say anything more and lowered her head.
Yingluo knew her kindness, smiled, and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, I'm fine." ”
After that, he swept a few more mouthfuls of food, hesitated, but said to Yingluo: "It's better for the princess not to be reckless, the concubine is actually a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she eats soft and not hard, and she is always an elder, the princess and the concubine are hard to carry, and they are always pressed by filial piety, and it is the princess who suffers." ”
Lu Shi didn't seem to expect Yingluo to say this, his face was a little flattered, so his cheeks turned red, and he smiled a little shyly, and said, "So, thank you princess." ”
Yingluo nodded and said, "Speaking of which, you are all implicated by me, and when you go back later, I will ask the maid to send you some plasters, I'm really sorry." ”
Lu Shi shook his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The county lord is only pampered with a lot of strength, it's okay." ”
Yingluo smiled, but said, "Are your feet okay?" ”
The Lu family was gobbling it up, seeing this, he glanced at Yingluo, and whispered: "Eat a little, I'm going to go in and serve in a while, how can you withstand this!" ”
Only she now has the disease of uterine cold, last time it was easy to recuperate for more than half a year, but the lotus peak fell into the water and hurt the vitality, and now the body is becoming more and more difficult to conceive, and she is still conditioning with medicinal food and decoction on weekdays, Yingluo said that she would not touch these cold foods, and put down the chopsticks after only one bite.
After they all left, the maid set up a small table next to her and waited for Yingluo and Lu to sit down and eat. The meal is already a little cold, Yingluo is not a squeamish person, she was busy with work in her previous life, and it is not for nothing to eat a cold working meal, which is much more simple than this.
Qin Yiyuan seemed to be very proud, turned around and glanced at Yingluo with a smile, and then took the maid away.
She walked forward with her chin up, not wanting to be too proud, but she didn't pay attention but collided with Lu Shi, who was busy directing the maid to remove dishes and other things, Lu's face turned pale, Yingluo saw Qin Yiyuan raise her foot and stepped on Lu's instep, rubbed it twice, Lu's face turned pale, but she bit her lip and didn't dare to say anything.
Concubine Xie nodded and went forward, but Qin Yiyuan pursed her lips when she passed by Yingluo, and said in a low voice: "The dead duck has a hard mouth, see how long you can last!" ”
Yingluo only blessed her body, and said, "It is the blessing of the granddaughter-in-law to serve the grandmother." ”
Qin Yiyuan sneered, looked at Yingluo and said, "Then it will be annoying sister-in-law." ”
Concubine Xie's face also sank, but she said: "In this case, after a while, your grandmother will rest, and you will also serve on the side, although you don't need to fan at this time, but if your grandmother doesn't let you serve, wouldn't it seem favoritism?" ”
Qin Yiyuan's face suddenly turned ugly, when Princess Jing first got married, she did bow down in front of Concubine Xie for a while, otherwise how could she accept Concubine Xie?
Yingluo's face did not change at all when she heard this, and she only said: "But it's all filial piety, I heard that when the mother concubine first got married, she also personally served her grandmother to pay tribute, and when her grandmother was asleep, she also personally fanned her grandmother, or how can you say that the mother concubine is a rare virtuous lady, I also take the mother concubine as an example, pick up people's teeth and wisdom, but make my sister smile." ”
Qin Yiyuan was unwilling, and stepped forward and said: "Grandmother doesn't know, my sister-in-law didn't enter the county king's mansion before, and before she became the county lord, but she lived in the countryside with her biological mother, so she must have done it herself, so she was naturally handy in doing these things to serve people." ”
Yingluo smiled and blessed her body, and said, "Thank you grandmother for your praise." It was as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm in Concubine Xie's words at all.
After the meal, Concubine Xie looked at Yingluo and said, "Okay, you guys should eat quickly, you don't have to wait for it first." After that, he patted Yingluo's hand again and said, "I didn't expect you to be the county lord, and you are also handy in doing these things, and you are a clever child." ”
She couldn't find the reason why she called Concubine Xie to have a seizure like this, Qin Yiyuan looked at it, was slightly surprised, and then used it silently.
The girls are pampered, but the daughters-in-law are married and come back to work. Yingluo as the new daughter-in-law personally served Concubine Xie, these things were actually taught by the grandmother when she was in the boudoir, from serving the water basin to serving Concubine Xie's clean hands, to serving the tea cup and gargling, Yingluo did it meticulously, and couldn't find a little mistake.
Yingluo has long passed her youth and frivolity, and she will smile because of a little girl's thunderous eyes, and she doesn't pay attention to it at all. Everyone moved to the warm pavilion, Concubine Xie took Xie Zhilan and Qin Yiyuan and a few girls to sit down, but Yingluo and Lu stood aside and waited.
Qin Yiyuan helped Concubine Xie get up, and several girls also got up and hugged Concubine Xie to the warm pavilion, passing by Yingluo, Qin Yiyuan unconsciously gave Yingluo a smug and contemptuous look.
Only then did Concubine Xie say: "Okay, let's go to eat with my grandmother, grandmother can't starve my poor granddaughter." ”
Qin Yiyuan threw herself into Concubine Xie's arms, and said with a giggle: "Who called grandmother likes to see her granddaughter poor, grandmother, granddaughter is hungry." ”
Concubine Xie didn't answer her, she just smiled and nodded Qin Yiyuan's forehead, and said, "You skin monkey, you will be poor with your grandmother!" ”
After the meal was set, Yingluo Fang took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped her hands slightly, turned around and entered the inner room, blessed herself and said, "It's not early, grandmother eats." ”
Yingluo knew in her heart that she would naturally not be close to Lu's set, and she didn't care about Lu's evasive attitude.
The third room was originally a concubine, and her husband, the fourth young master, was a concubine, the Lu family was not from a high background, and she was naturally a person with her tail between her legs in Concubine Xie, Yingluo obviously did not like Concubine Xie, and she naturally did not dare to approach Yingluo.
On the contrary, he glanced at Lu Shi with some apologies, Lu Shi was obviously dragged down by himself, Lu Shi was slightly stunned, then smiled slightly and hurriedly hung his head.
Yingluo didn't take it to heart, although she was serving Concubine Xie, she naturally had a maid to do the heavy work, she just followed a little move, except that she was not free, she was not tired.
Although they all set rules for their daughters-in-law, I have never seen my grandmother let my granddaughter-in-law set rules, but a filial piety word is bigger than the sky, and Concubine Xie wants her granddaughter-in-law to serve, who can say if it is not?
The beautiful name is to keep her granddaughter-in-law for dinner, but she wants to make her new daughter-in-law set rules on behalf of Princess Jing.
Listening to the increasingly cheerful laughter of Qin Yiyuan and Concubine Xie coming from inside, and then looking at the sympathetic eyes of the Lu family from time to time, how could Yingluo not understand that Concubine Xie was using her identity as an elder to suppress her and toss her hard.
Now that she has passed the wedding period, it is time to take on the responsibility of being a daughter-in-law. Before eating, Lu was busy with the maid to set up the food and cloth, and Yingluo also had to follow the meal and serve.
Today, Qin Yan is no longer in the mansion, Yingluo has no excuse to go back to serve her man, Concubine Xie opened her mouth, she naturally wants to stay obediently.
Therefore, the fourth young master of the second room and the third young master of the third room are all married, the third young grandmother has passed away before, and the granddaughter-in-law who is left by Concubine Xie today is only the fourth young grandmother Lu and Yingluo.
Because Qin Yan has never married a wife, Qin Zheng and Qin Wen, who are holding their heads down, have not been able to marry a wife. But the boys in the second and third rooms are also old, and it makes no sense that because of Qin Yan's relationship, they can't marry wives in an orderly manner according to their eldest and youngest.
When they arrived at Fulu Courtyard, after a room of children and relatives spoke for a while, Concubine Xie ordered the second lady and others to retreat, but it was a girl and granddaughter-in-law who left their grandchildren.
And although Yingluo didn't see Qin Yiyuan a few times, she also knew a little about Qin Yiyuan's temperament, and when she saw that she didn't choke, she moved her eyebrows and slightly raised her lower lip.
Qin Yiyuan walked on the other side of Princess Jing, but what she heard was angry in her heart, her face changed, and she actually endured it. Seeing this, Princess Jing's eyebrows became more and more relaxed, and she only thought that her daughter had finally listened to her persuasion and knew that she had reined in her temper.
She smiled innocently and looked sincere, Princess Jing sneered in her heart, she didn't move her words for a long time, nodded with a smile, and never answered.
Yingluo stepped forward and helped Princess Jing to get up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince is a woman who doesn't love women, and I am the only one in the backyard now, or the mother concubine is lively here, and it is interesting for me to look at it." The women of the mother concubine treat their father so well, and it is no wonder that the outside world says that the mother concubine is the most virtuous and generous, if I can't be like my mother. ”
Princess Jing looked at Yingluo and said with a gentle expression: "Are you in a hurry?" Let's go, go with your mother and say hello to your grandmother. ”
Concubine Liu took the concubines and thanked them again, and the group retreated.
Princess Jing waved her hand and said, "Look at you, I can still pick up this idea of fabric and clothes." Well, I don't have anything to serve here, so let's go back. ”
"Yes, how can you take the princess's private account and replace us." Mrs. Wei chimed in.
Concubine Liu took the lead and said with a smile: "It's still the princess who is the most sympathetic to us, but the princess's private room should be kept for the county lord as a dowry, how can it be used on us people." ”
Over there, Princess Jing used tea, Mrs. Wei was busy serving a handkerchief, Princess Jing pressed the corner of her lips and waved her hand: "If it is slowly hot today, the summer clothes on the sewing room should be distributed according to the rules in two days." Although the work of the sewing room is good, it is not as delicate as the Chu Pavilion outside, these two days I let the embroidery lady of the Chu Pavilion come to the palace, and when the time comes, I will open my private library, so that I can choose some materials, and then add a few more summer clothes to everyone, this year the prince married the princess, and the marriage of Brother Zheng and Brother Wen should also be put on the agenda, the house is a festive thing, and everyone should also dress up. ”
Yingluo's eyes flashed slightly, and she quietly withdrew her gaze.
As if feeling Yingluo's scrutinizing gaze, she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Yingluo, as if she was not surprised, and smiled at Yingluo, and then lowered her head again.
Concubine Liu, who gave birth to a son, stood respectfully behind Princess Jing to set up rules, not to mention the other concubines, Yingluo only paid special attention to Mrs. Yang mentioned by Gu Mama, but saw that she combed her head today, only wore a pearl hairpin, a pair of small pearl earrings on her ears, a plain gray long gown, a moon-white skirt, standing in the middle of the concubine room in a decent manner, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but she couldn't see the slightest thought.
That's it, Yingluo found that King Jing is really not a lover of beauty, and King Jing's concubines are only middle-class, not particularly outstanding, especially bright. It can be seen from this that King Jing does not appreciate women who are too bright and dazzling, and it can be seen from the appearance of Princess Minhui and Qin Yan that Princess Minying is also a peerless beauty, and it is not surprising that King Jing does not like Princess Minying, just as King Jing looks at his daughter-in-law and looks at how it is not pleasing to the eye.
Yingluo took a look, most of King Jing's concubines were raised more than ten years ago, and they are not young, plus Princess Jing has been alone these years, they will inevitably lack rain and dew moisture, are not in a good mood, and cannot be maintained, so they look bad and look old.
Concubine Liu is a partial house received by King Jing in his early years, and has the third son of King Jing, Qin Wen, who was probably not a beauty with excellent appearance when she was young, and now that she is older, her figure is slightly out of shape, her face is dull, and she looks like an old mother standing behind Princess Jing.
Today happens to be the day when King Jing's concubine comes to greet Princess Jing every ten days, in addition to Qin Yiyuan, there are also six women dressed in the house, wearing royal blue cardigan silk red peony flower gowns, and the plain dress of all colors of bamboo leaf skirt Liu Fangfei stands behind Princess Jing, serving Princess Jing's tea.
Early the next morning, when Yingluo woke up, Qin Yan had already gotten up and gone to the court, and Yingluo simply cleaned up and went to Zihan Courtyard to go to the morning and dusk provinces.
