Chapter 180
Because I thought that Zhuqing would stay by Zhao Sanbao's side day and night, so, Xie Yan simply set a wedding date for them, and in March next year, when Zhao Sanbao's injury was better, let them get married, and after Zhuqing and Zhao Sanbao settled, they were still serving by her side, just for this, Xie Yan was not less criticized in secret, some people said that she was not close to people, knowing Zhao Sanbao's situation, and rewarded him with her personal maid who had served her since childhood, and some people said that she wanted to please her son, Even the maids around him were willing to let go and marry a crippled man.
But fortunately, these rumors only spread for two days, and they were suddenly and quietly stopped, that is, Xie Yan herself heard about it later when she heard Huayi gossip, but at that time, the rumors had long been gone, and she heard about it, and it didn't cause any turmoil.
Shen Xi's prince's mansion has finally been built, and it is scheduled to be officially opened on the sixth day of September, this matter is nothing, since Shen Xi has become the prince, then one day he will move out of the Dingguo Mansion, but this time it is a little different, the reason is that Emperor Tianhe, because Shen Ye made several big mistakes before, although he cut the knight, lowered it, etc., but the specifications of the Dingguo Mansion did not drop much, after all, Shen Xi, who is the eldest prince, still lives in it, but now that Shen Xi is moving away, then the specifications of the Dingguo Mansion are bound to be reduced, According to the current level of Dingguo Gong Shen Ye, if nothing else, let's just say that in terms of floor area, the Dingguo Mansion originally covered an area of 100 hectares, which was the specification level of the first-class Guogong, but now Shen Ye is just a six-grade virtual junior official with a false name of the Guogong, where can he afford such a large mansion, according to the law, as soon as Shen Xi leaves, the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion will be reduced by more than ten times, that is to say, the Dingguo Mansion once covered an area of 100 hectares, but now it can only occupy seven or eight hectares, and throughout the ancient and modern times, there is really no one who has achieved the position of Guogong, Or the person who inherits the title of Guogong holds the position of a six-rank petty official, and uses the area of the farmhouse courtyard to support the plaque of the Dingguo Mansion.
And this matter is undoubtedly a heavy and heavy blow to the Dingguo Mansion, and the Shen family, who originally thought that their holy family was in full glory, were completely dumbfounded after receiving the will of the Ministry of Rites of the Internal Affairs Office.
On the day that the old lady and the second lady Changsun received the holy decree, they came to Canglan Yuan and Xie Yan to cry, saying that there were more than 300 slaves in the Dingguo Mansion alone, plus the owners of each house, not to mention 400 people, if it was really as the palace decree said, reduce the hundred hectares to eight hectares, then it would really be impossible to live, but when Xie Yan euphemistically said to the second lady to let them streamline the staff, the second lady exaggerated and covered her nose and cried:
"It's not that I don't want to streamline, the streamlining is just slaves and miscellaneous servants, at most more than a hundred people, but the rest are serving in the hospital, some have been sold in our family since childhood, and some have served friendship for many years, where can I just say it, people's hearts are flesh and blood, these people are what we are used to on weekdays, if it is really streamlined, where will we be happy in the future."
Xie Yan sat on the top and picked up the teacup, for the words of the second lady, the left ear went in and out of the right ear, in fact, she said so much, in fact, she didn't want to streamline, and she didn't want to think about how there were hundreds of people in seven or eight acres......
The old lady also said: "I have an old bone, there are naturally more people around me, and the maids who serve me on weekdays are also good, even if our Guogong is temporarily in trouble, but if I get back in the future, it will be troublesome to recruit people back." ”
After Xie Yan took a sip of tea, the old lady's words had just finished speaking, and Xie Yan raised her eyebrows and asked coldly:
"Then according to the meaning of the old lady and the second lady, what should I do about this matter? If the old lady and the second lady don't want to streamline the people, then it's time to see, everyone lives in a little squeeze a little bit of it, and the prince of Hengzhi will also recover in the future, and then arrange an open place for everyone, so it's not impossible. ”
Since they are going to say this, then Xie Yan will follow their words unceremoniously, in fact, what does it matter to her whether the Guogong Mansion is streamlined or not. She and her husband will move out in a few days, even if thousands of them live in one room by then, it has nothing to do with her.
The old lady's face stiffened, and the face that was still a little smiling finally sank, the second lady looked at it in her eyes, hated it in her heart, but she didn't dare to shake Xie Yan's face on the bright side, after receiving the eyes handed by the old lady, the second lady made persistent efforts and said:
"Look at what the princess said, so many people, if they really live in such a small place, where can they be squeezed, don't you understand what the old lady and I mean?"
Xie Yan made up her mind and pretended to be crazy and stupid, and immediately shook her head: "I don't understand, please ask the second lady to make it clear." ”
The second lady's face also changed a little, and she was still typing a draft in her belly, but the old lady on the side couldn't help it, patted the coffee table and said:
"Hmph, don't pretend to be stupid for me, this matter is clearly Shen Xi's ghost, if it weren't for him, would our Guogong be able to descend again and again? Now in order to fulfill his dignity, the emperor wants to use our Guogong Mansion to make him face, hmph, if he really wants to do this, he is not afraid of the world poking his backbone, no matter what our Guogong Mansion has done to him since he was a child, but no one can deny that he was born in the Guogong Mansion. I got the power, so I ignored the place where he was raised for more than 20 years, hum, this breath, I can't bear it, let me tell you, you understand this matter, or if you don't understand, Ming'er will give me a book, let the emperor take back his life, we live very well in this Guogong Mansion, and I don't want to move at all! ”
How else to say that the old lady is domineering, these shameless words came out of her mouth, it was called a smooth slip, after Xie Yan heard it, she also secretly admired it in her heart, this old lady has really been spoiled all her life, and when she is coming, she still can't see the situation clearly, but she seems to think too much of Shen Xi and her, and really thinks that she has contributed to raising Shen Xi, and Shen Xi is now developed, so she must repay her kindness? Joke!
Since she said it, Xie Yan didn't plan to pretend to be stupid with her, so she smiled and replied coldly:
"Why can't I understand what the old lady said. That palace is not opened by our son, if he says a word, can he take back the holy will? What's more, even if he has the ability, why should he help you do it? The grace of nurturing? No kidding, what kind of life has my husband lived in the house since he was a child, others don't know, will you still know? If you want to say that you are old and confused, and you don't want to think about the status of Grandpa Guo today, what do you rely on, don't you really think that the emperor appreciates Grandpa Guo's ability, which will raise the Dingguo Mansion high, let him be a first-class prince, and let you do a plus product of the edict? I can't figure out the priority, but at this time I'm going to show me the majesty of the old lady, I'm sorry, now you're really not qualified. ”
Xie Yan was also angry, since she knew that Shen Xi and Luo's had suffered those disasters in the past, she could no longer speak calmly to the Shen family, even if they didn't mess with her, she wouldn't give them a good face, let alone that this old woman still provoked her, naturally she couldn't hear any good words in her mouth.
After saying these words, Xie Yan saw that the old lady and the second lady were all stupid, they didn't expect that Xie Yan would ruthlessly open the layer of window paper and expose their purpose to the sun, in fact, in this matter, they are not hypocritical, after all, they know what Shen Ye did to Shen Xi and Luo's in the past, but they just concluded that Shen Xi did not dare to settle accounts with them, after all, those past things are not glorious things, Shen Xi wants to keep his identity as the eldest prince, Reputation is the most important, he will definitely not hope that the past will be revealed at this time, in that case, it may ruin the Guogong Mansion, but it will also ruin him!
So Xie Yan said these words directly, which shocked them very much, and they couldn't speak for a long time, only to see that Xie Yan didn't want to talk to them at all, stood up from the top position, held the temples that were not messy at all, and said something even more annoying to them.
"Oh yes, if the old lady and the second lady have anything to say, it's best to say them together for the next two days, and when we all move out of the mansion, with your current status, I'm afraid you are not qualified to visit the prince's mansion, and I won't open the door to meet you at that time."
“……”
With Xie Yan's words, Rao is old Taijun and Changsun are speechless no matter how shameless they are, the old Taijun's temper is not good, she was favored by the old man when she was young, and after the old man died, Shen Ye's son was also very filial to her, and she had already let her dance alone, at this time, she was humiliated in front of Xie Yan so mercilessly, where could she bear it, and she was going to tear Xie Yan when she pounced.
Xie Yan is now only one person by Huayi's side, and he went to pour tea in the room before, and was walking out with a teacup, when he saw the old lady rushing towards Xie Yan, he didn't even have time to rush over to save people, he was so frightened that he screamed, the teapot with hot water almost fell to the ground, thinking that Mrs. was going to suffer in the hands of the old lady this time, who knew that suddenly the figure in front of him flashed, caught the hot kettle she fell down, and ran towards the chaotic circle like the wind.
Xie Yan was also startled by the old lady's sudden attack, thinking that she was going to take at least a beating, and a figure appeared in front of her, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and suddenly a pot of hot water was poured down from the old lady's shoulder, and when there was a howl in the hall, the old lady's whole person fell backwards.
The chaos in front of him is enough to make people clench their minds, and take a closer look, who is the person who is blocking in front of Xie Yan and pouring hot water on the old lady with hot water, who is not longevity.
