Chapter 55: The New Clothes

Concubine Jin has been away for a while, the atmosphere in the mansion has been low because of this matter, there is no trace of joy, seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, I have been coming to the North Desert for more than half a year, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but fortunately, there is a stove in the house, but it is also warmer. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In previous years Chinese New Year's Eve I spent my time in the Chu State Palace, and this year I will spend the end of the year and the last day in the Northern Desert. The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is different from usual, and it is usually a New Year's holiday.

The customs of Shu, the old age and the food, are called the old age; Wine and food are invited to the New Year, and until Chinese New Year's Eve, it is called the New Year. There are generally two meanings of keeping the New Year, the elderly keep the New Year to say goodbye to the old year, which means cherishing time, and the young people keep the New Year to prolong the life of their parents.

In order to welcome Chinese New Year's Eve, the people in the mansion began to be busy these days, I saw that the subordinates in the mansion on weekdays were diligent and not lazy, and it was rare to celebrate the New Year, and I saw Qianping, Xiaoni and a few maids cleaning the room in my house, I ordered one of the maids and pointed at her: "You go and ask the butler to come over, saying that I have something to order." โ€

"Yes." The maid said in a low voice and withdrew.

Qianping and Xiaoni looked puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to look at each other without saying a word, and continued to clean.

After a while, the housekeeper came with the maid.

The butler stood outside the door. Respectfully asked for peace and said, "I don't know what the princess ordered the slaves to do?" โ€

I said, "In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is rare to celebrate the New Year, so the troublesome butler paid some silver taels from the treasury and made a new dress for each of the people in the mansion, and distributed the rest as red envelopes. โ€

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "The slave dared to ask the princess, is this what the prince meant?" โ€

There are many people in the palace, this is a good thing to make new clothes and give out red envelopes, but although the silver taels needed are not very large, it is not necessarily very small, Xu is loyal to Murong Chenxi, or maybe I have questions about this move, although Murong Chenxi handed over the mansion to me, I have never been a person who can manage things, and I have never paid much attention to it, most of the time Murong Chenxi is not there, and the big and small things in the house are still handled by the housekeeper, it is rare for me to explain the affairs of his house, and I don't blame him for having questions.

I smiled and said: "This is my idea, the prince doesn't know, and I have roughly estimated the amount of silver that it costs, although it is a lot, but it has no impact on the palace, the prince has always been not a stingy person, I will go back and tell the prince, I think he will agree, the housekeeper just do it." "After getting along for more than half a year, I know a little bit about him. Although his personality is quiet and silent, he is not an unreasonable person in the end, and he is not strict with the subordinates in the house on weekdays, and he will still be rewarded for what he deserves. This is a good thing for the people in the house, and if I talk to him, he should have no opinion.

As soon as I said this, the butler replied, "Since the princess has commanded it, the servant will do it." โ€ใ€‚

After the housekeeper left, Qianping and Xiaoni stopped what they were doing and came to me to surround me, their faces filled with joy that could not be concealed.

"You're still the best princess." Qianping was the first to speak. โ€

"Yes, the princess has always been generous to others, and she is also the best to the people in the house, if the other sisters in the palace know that the princess sent us red envelopes to make new clothes, they must be very happy." Xiaoni echoed.

A few maids behind him were also smiling and following Lehe.

I smiled and said, "A piece of clothing will make you happy like this, and you will be happy." "There was sadness on everyone's faces in the house some time ago, and it was rare to see them so happy today, and it was rare that they were easy to meet the moment, and they didn't have to live so tired all day for more and bigger **. That's not a bad thing.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” housekeeper has always been reliable and reassuring, I have no doubt about this, no, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the house put on new clothes and looked new, and they greeted me with a smile when they saw me.

On that day, Murong Chenxi also changed into new clothes, wearing a cotton cheongsam and a mink coat, which looked warm and slowly walked towards my house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw me dressed in a green lake-colored cotton palace dress, and my clothes were decorated with mink fur, his eyes lit up, and he asked me softly, "Are you ready?" โ€

Today, Murong Chenxi and I are going to the palace to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor's concubine, the princess, and the hundred officials of the civil and military forces, get together, it should be lively.

I nodded slightly, "It's ready." โ€

At this time, he glanced at the servants of the people around him, and said to me: "Bingxi, I heard that you instructed the housekeeper to make a new dress for each of the people in the house." โ€

I said: "I was going to talk to the prince, but seeing that you were busy with business, I didn't bother you, and I hope the prince will not be strange."

He didn't get angry when he said it suddenly, I don't know why he was there. His expression was gentle, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, and he said, "You have never been interested in taking care of the affairs of the house, and most of the affairs in the house are also handled by the housekeeper, but this time you have taken matters into your own hands." โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€

Well, I don't know what he said, are you blaming me for not explaining it to him in advance? Although I didn't ask him what he meant, I didn't say anything about it, so I don't get angry.

Seeing that I was silent, he suddenly smiled and said, "I've been worried about how you handle the affairs of the house, when you will learn to be the mistress of the house, it's rare that you start to care, if you have any thoughts and decisions about the house in the future, just tell the housekeeper or others to do it, but you don't need to tell me in advance." โ€

Only then did I suddenly realize what Murong Chenxi really meant, he was praising me for making my own opinions, he didn't say that I didn't think anything, it seemed to be the case when he said this, although I was not interested in managing people and ordinary trivial things, and I didn't like it, but unconsciously I was slowly adapting to it, is this me gradually changing or am I getting used to all this?

"I ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" I wanted to defend it, but I couldn't find a reason to explain it for a while.

Murong Chenxi stared at me, and when he saw that I was anxious and speechless, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

I hurriedly said, "Then can I understand that you are in favor of my decision?" โ€

He smiled but didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence. "It's not too early, let's go, we have to enter the palace." After a moment of silence, Murong Chenxi said slightly.

I nodded in response, and followed him into the carriage and into the palace.
