"I have taken the words of the second sister-in-law to heart, and I will discuss with him when my lord comes back today, and I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible, and I will entrust the matter of buying a maid to the second sister-in-law. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mohs said with a smile.

"Alright, don't worry." Dong nodded.

"Mrs. Qiyu, the fifth girl is back, saying that she has something to look for you." When it was about the same time, there was a call for help from the door.

When Mo Shi heard this, he said: "It turned out that the girl from the second sister-in-law's family came back, and the time was almost up, so the second sister-in-law and I will take Ruojiu back first, so I will leave this matter to you." ”

"I'm going back, and I want to keep you and the nine girls to eat here." Dong Shi politely got up and said.

"There will be time in the future, you are also busy today, our family Shuqing should also come back, I have to go back to clean up, the second sister-in-law will be another day, there is a lot of trouble today, so I will leave." Mohs had already gotten up and gone out.

Yan Ruojiu also got up and said respectfully: "Second aunt, Ruojiu has resigned." ”

"Hey, you see that you two are more polite than the other, Cheng Chengcheng, I won't force you to stay, I'll go to your courtyard to see you another day, Xiangping will send the third lady and the ninth girl back for me." Dong sent it to the door, and then ordered a maid to send Yan Ruojiu and Mo out of the courtyard.

Dong turned around and went back to the house, called his personal servant and said, "This one hundred and one will be put on the public account of the mansion, and it will be recorded as the family of the third master of Yan Shuqing in the third room." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, the slave and maid will go now." ”

After the words fell, the maid took the money and went out of the house, and Dong entered the inner room, put the remaining two hundred taels into a sandalwood box in the chest of drawers next to the bed in the bedroom, locked it again, and then came out of the inner hall and said, "Please come over the five girls." ”

"Yes." The maid waited for the words to speak, and then dared to invite the five girls, that is, the Dong family and the second master of the Yan family, the concubine of Yan Shujie, Yan Ruolan, the fifth in line, and the five girls into the inner hall.

As soon as the fifth girl Yan Ruolan entered the room, she smiled and saluted, "Please Mother's Peace." ”

Dong smiled and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" Did something happen to the inner school? ”

Yan Ruolan smiled slightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two princesses have a dispute again, and it just so happened that the eldest princess was also there, so I called them all away, and this daughter can come back sooner." ”

"Is it the fourth princess and the sixth princess again?" Dong sat down and asked.

"It can only be the two of them, and it's strange to say, this inner school is also the most noisy of these two princesses, but most of them are the fourth princess who bullied the sixth princess first, and the mother also knows that the daughter can't manage too much, after all, one of them is the queen's daughter, and the other is the daughter of the concubine, and it's not good for the daughter to help anyone." Yan Ruolan sighed and said.

"Silly child, you are a lady and not their discipline mother, you better not mess with these disputes, so as not to make a lot of trouble." Dong said with a smile.

"Hey, mother, my daughter understands this truth, it's just that these two princesses are always in trouble with the school, and we all endure it, and the proportions are just right, but this eldest princess has a good temper because of this incident, saying that the atmosphere of the inner school is not good, and even the steward of the inner school, Mei Hairpin Fang, was held accountable by the eldest princess, which made everyone a little scared." Yan Ruolan told the story of today's inner school.

"The eldest princess lost her temper?" Dong was also stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it's also very scary to look at the two princesses, not to mention the other female students, but, in the eyes of the daughter, this is a good thing, maybe you can kill the arrogance and sharpness of these princesses, in the end, they came to the palace to study, but these girls are like coming to the palace to enjoy, it is really no rules, but it is a headache, I heard that the eldest princess not only reprimanded the two princesses, but also scolded the queen and the concubine, and the atmosphere in the palace is afraid that it will not be good these days." Yan Ruolan said with some worry.

"This is in line with the temper of the eldest princess, not to mention the queen and the concubine, it is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the eldest princess will directly reprimand if she is not used to it, no matter what their rank is, how high their merits are, the eldest princess never looks at these when she scolds people, that is, she can be polite to the emperor, but if the emperor makes a mistake, the eldest princess will not have any affection, this inner school is the eldest princess to protect, and now the atmosphere is so unbearable, the eldest princess is not angry to call it strange." Dong was not surprised.

"Mother, isn't the eldest princess already asking about the court? Why are you still afraid of her when you go home inside and outside the palace? Yan Ruolan was a little puzzled.

Dong smiled slightly: "You also know, the eldest princess is the eldest sister of the emperor today, and the only sister of the emperor, the emperor can now stabilize the country, and most of the credit belongs to the eldest princess. ”

"My daughter has heard of the eldest princess's achievements, I heard that she was fighting all the year round when she was young, and she laid this solid foundation for the emperor with Prince Rong, and her daughter only thinks she is a reckless and vulgar person, and most of the rumors outside are like this, but today, the eldest princess is definitely not a simple woman." Yan Ruolan exclaimed.

"It's not simple, the eldest princess deserves the praise of both wisdom and bravery, wisdom and domineering, but it's a pity that she is so good but she has become a woman, hey...... Because of this, although she was favored by the first emperor and admired by all the people, she has been alone until now. Dong sighed.

"Mother, the eldest princess has never been married?" Yan Ruolan was surprised.

"Yes, the eldest princess has never been married, but the specific reason for this is not something we can know, and there are various rumors about this matter from the outside world, it is said that the eldest princess once swore before the death of the first emperor that she is willing not to marry for the sake of the Jiang family, but the first emperor cherishes the eldest princess so much, this possibility is not very likely; There are also rumors that the eldest princess is too domineering and lacks flexibility, so no one dares to marry. ”

"So good, and so noble, there are really not many people who can ask to marry the eldest princess." Yan Ruolan couldn't help but sigh.

"Having said that, the most credible rumor in the market is that the eldest princess did have a beloved, but that person has died on the battlefield, the eldest princess is disheartened and has no intention of marrying, the eldest princess has a noble status, even the current emperor has to be polite and polite, she doesn't want to, who can say it." Dong said abruptly.

"So, it's a sad story." Yan Ruolan was a little sentimental.

"Hey...... This is all rumors from the outside world, and my mother also heard some from those noble ladies when they chatted, but looking at the eldest princess's current life is also comfortable, and now Prince Rong's third son is like the eldest princess's son, and she doesn't lack anything. Dong said with a smile.

"Mother is talking about Jiang Zhengxi, the third son of Prince Rong's mansion?" Yan Ruolan suddenly had a headache.

"Yes, Prince Rong's third son is more precious than the princes in the palace, because he has the eldest princess's special favor, but he is also a little rebellious, but in the end he is a child, he is very simple-minded, likes to play, and does not like to read, which makes Prince Rong's family very difficult, and your father also doesn't know how many times he has been instructed by Prince Rong and the eldest princess because of this, but unfortunately, the effect is very small." The topic of the Dong family turned to Jiang Zhengxi, the third son of Prince Rong.

"Jiang Sangongzi is still a little more playful, and his daughter is sad to hear her father, but in the past two years, I heard that he has entered the palace school, and I am afraid that he will have to restrain a little." Yan Ruolan frowned a little.

"Hey, he said that if he doesn't rein in, it's all a matter in the palace, we can't control those, by the way, how is the matter with the mother asking you?" Dong can eat a few sips of tea ceremony.

"Oh, mother, I've asked about this, but it's going to be over the New Year at the earliest, by the way, did my mother mention this matter to the third uncle's family?" Yan Ruolan replied.

"Ao, I just said, just before you came back, your third uncle and ninth sister left, I mentioned it, but your third uncle and mother don't seem to be a person who can call the shots, it should be up to your third uncle to decide." Dong yawned.

"Mother, what is the qualification of the ninth sister, you also asked?" Yan Ruolan sighed and said: "Mother also knows that although this school is a little chaotic, the qualification requirements for female students are still very high, I don't know if the ninth sister can read and write when she is in the north?" ”

"Your third uncle and mother said that your ninth sister read a little bit of books, but looking at the clever strength of the nine girls, I am afraid that she is not stupid, and besides, that day my mother also saw the young man who has lived with your third uncle's family for many years, and it looks like a talented son who is full of economy and talent, presumably the nine girls will not be far behind." Dong judged.

"That's good, my daughter is also afraid that the ninth sister will be wronged, after all, there are all pampered masters of the family, and no one will let anyone, since the ninth sister has good qualifications, then the daughter will talk to the steward of the inner school in a few days, and when the time comes, let the ninth sister go to study together." Yan Ruolan replied with a smile.

"It's done, you don't have to worry too much about this, wait for their reply, you're tired all day, go change your clothes and rest for a while, and go with me to the old lady when it's time for dinner." Dong Shi said with concern.

"Yes, if there is nothing else to do here for the mother, then the daughter will also retire." After the words fell, Yan Ruolan got up and slowly walked out of the inner hall.

And Yan Ruojiu, who followed her mother back to her own courtyard, was a little unhappy and said, "Mother, what do you mean by the second aunt?" ”

"Ani, what's wrong?" Mo didn't understand his daughter's displeasure.

"Mother, why is the second aunt so concerned about her daughter's entry into the inner school, I have said it back and forth several times, what kind of hall is this inner school, does my daughter have to go?" Yan Ruojiu has some instinctive rejection of the affairs in the palace, which still comes from her enlightenment and her accompanying master Master Xiao, that is, Fei Ziran's grandfather, due to his experience and influence, Yan Ruojiu's impression of the palace is not particularly good.

"Who said you have to go, it's just that your second aunt made a suggestion, whether to go or not, naturally you have to wait for your father to come back." Mohs didn't make a decision.

"Mother, my daughter said okay, I don't know if I will go or not, since this palace can frame Master Xiao, it is naturally not a clean and good place, I don't want to go to their girls from all over the family to be hypocritical, and I am cheating, my daughter is most tired of those ones." Yan Ruojiu was reluctant to go to the inner school in the palace that her second aunt called for the daughters of the family.

"I know, you have always hated rules and regulations the most, and the inner school in the palace is afraid that it has the most rules, and my mother is still worried that you will cause trouble when you go in, so you don't have to worry, I guess your father will not agree." Mo smiled and poked Yan Ruojiu's little head.

"That's good, my father and mother must not agree, I don't want to go back to Beijing and lose even the slightest bit of freedom." Yan Ruojiu pouted and said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, it's just a casual mention of it, you're really interested, it's done, it's dinner time in a while, when the time comes, you eat with Wen Xiu first, and your mother will come back after serving the old lady, your father is estimated to be late, you don't have to wait for me." After Mo Shi gave the order, he went into the house and got ready.
