Chapter 77 The New Official Takes Office to Catch Fire (1)
When Lan Qiduo woke up, it was already bright outside the window, she was lying on the bed smelling these familiar smells, looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, her mood was relaxed and very happy.
"Someone!"
"The slave is here, Your Highness is awake?"
"Well, what time is it?"
"It's eight o'clock in the morning."
Lan Ziduo lazily leaned back on the bed, always feeling that he had overlooked something.
Seeing Lan Qiduo in a daze, Xiao Tule pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness will get up and freshen up first, and then walk around for a while, and the slave maid will let people pass breakfast." ”
"Hmm."
Seeing Lan Qiduo's appearance, little Tule wanted to laugh even more, His Highness is obviously asleep, and some people don't know everything, and he won't be fully awake yet.
"Has Your Highness woken up?"
"I've woken up, is Aunt Ping bringing breakfast to His Royal Highness?"
"Exactly, but why don't you see the colt?"
"The horse got up at three o'clock (five forty-five in the morning), and His Highness slept sweetly, and the horse did not wake His Highness."
"It turned out that I left after eating."
……
Lan Qiduo sat in front of the dresser, a little stunned, she finally knew what she had forgotten, Xiahou Yi was gone, and the dryness in the air, she was now in Dingxi!
"Open the window."
"The wind is cooler in the morning, and Mama said to let His Highness walk around and eat something to go out, and then ventilate the room."
"Out of the way, open the small window."
The little maid who came in later had to open the window!
The sky outside the window was blue and blue, and the white clouds were like cotton, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
Lan Qiduo suddenly thought of a poem: "The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds." "I don't know if it means such a view, and it seems that there is indeed a mountain called Tianshan Mountain in the northwest?
Sitting there in a daze, I don't know what to think, the people who serve Lan Qiduo are the people she is used to, seeing Lan Qiduo like this, they don't bother her, they are busy grooming Lan Qiduo.
"What does Your Highness want to wear today?"
The maid in charge of the clothing and clothing asked Lan Qiduo respectfully with her clothes, Lan Qiduo looked at the delicate clothes that were light purple, or goose yellow or crimson, and suddenly asked, "Do you have the men's clothes in this palace?" ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, but it was Xiao Tu'an who said: "In the ninth box of His Highness, the slave and maid will look for it." ”
"Your Highness has washed up and eaten first, and then changed his clothes after eating."
"Hmm."
Lan Qiduo sat down at the table and looked at the bird's nest in the bowl, and couldn't help but think of Xiahou Yi's gobbling up yesterday, and paused and asked, "Is the horse available for dinner in the morning?" ”
"Last night, the horse had already said that today's departure time, the slave didn't dare to slack off, and before the end of the day, let people prepare the meal, which was the noodles that had been boiled in stock for half the night, with a few side dishes and mutton pies."
"Hmm."
Xiao Tule said such a long list, Lan Qiduo replied, she couldn't help but be a little confused, listening to His Highness's tone, obviously very concerned about the horse, why did he ask such a sentence and didn't follow?
Lan Qiduo also had a mutton pie in her bowl, she was not interested in meat, but the place itself was full of beef and mutton.
"Isn't there anything else?"
"Your Highness forgives me, the slave has been here for so long, except for the spinach and radishes, which are still fresh, the rest of the dishes like lotus roots, bamboo shoots, yams, and sweet potatoes are all old vegetables from last autumn."
Lan Qiduo ate a few bites of soaked lotus root, knowing that he still had something to do today, so he ate another sesame fire, but the mutton pie was not touched.
"Tell me to go down, take a look in the house at noon today, learn about the situation in the house, and then leave the house in the afternoon." She knew that the first time she left the house, she would definitely have to make a lot of preparations.
Lan Qiduo sat in front of the dresser after dinner and asked the maid to comb the man's hair again, and after a series of orders, he said: "Time is urgent, let the housekeepers also familiarize themselves with the situation in the house as soon as possible, and don't know anything about it at that time." ”
"This big butler has already ordered it last night!"
Since last year's incident of Tuxi and his mother-in-law's stealing of things from the princess's treasury, the big housekeeper felt deeply remorseful and ashamed, so he had resigned from his position as housekeeper, and now the new housekeeper is not yet forty years old, which is relatively young, and the rest of this person is good, but he is too cautious and timid. Lan Qiduo didn't care, it was better to be cautious and timid than bold, and it was longer to be cautious than to be bold in Dingxi.
There are more than a dozen men's clothes taken out, and almost all the popular styles in Beijing are available, Lan Qiduo looked at the maid holding things, thinking that Xiahou Yi said that in two months, a group of palace people will be sent to the Dingxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and then the official media will give them kisses, Lan Qiduo suddenly commanded a few words in Tuping's ear, Tuping was stunned for a moment and immediately nodded and agreed.
Lan Qiduo casually picked out a bamboo leaf green color cardigan: "That's it!" ”
It was almost mid (ten o'clock) after breakfast, and the original Ma Commander meant to prepare a sedan chair for Lan Qiduo, but after all, it was the first time to visit a new home, how could he ask for a sedan chair, so Lan Qiduo planned to walk a section by himself with his feet first.
Tu Ping followed Lan Qiduo and introduced: "The largest in the backyard is this small horse farm, followed by His Highness's yard, His Highness's courtyard has a small kitchen, a warehouse, a bedroom, and a study, etc., and the inner study room is prepared for His Highness and the horse respectively, so the Forget Worry Pavilion is the study that occupies the most area in addition to the courtyard." ”
Lan Qiduo nodded, she herself is a nominal protector, but Xiahou Yi is different, she can feel it herself, Xiahou Yi obviously wants to be close to her like that, but in the past few days, except for the time to hurry, he will sit down to deal with all kinds of reports whenever he is free, last night she finished talking to Xiahou Yi It was actually not early, but Xiahou Yi still came back when she didn't know when she fell asleep, and left so early in the morning.
Lan Qiduo could feel his busyness, and deeply believed that this busyness might not be able to stop for a short time, so it was really necessary to prepare a good inner study and outer study for Xiahou Yi.
"This is the garden, and when the slave and maid came, the horses were already taken care of, and now it just needs to be taken care of as before."
"The servants and maidservants in the palace are half a mile away from His Highness, and the place is neither conspicuous nor relatively close to His Highness......"
Lan Qiduo suddenly thought of the situation of more than a dozen people holding their clothes this morning, and asked thoughtlessly: "Do you think there are too many people serving this palace?" ”
Lan Qiduo doesn't like to take a lot of people, so in addition to Tuping, Mama Yun and the four personal maids who came out today, there are only four second-class maids, and there are eight female soldiers to escort them, and the female soldiers are okay, because Lan Qiduo promised that they would never drive them away, but a few maids, especially second-class maids, were a little surprised.
Xiao Tuping whispered: "Why did Your Highness say this? ”
"When I saw these houses, I suddenly remembered that in addition to more than 200 female soldiers and a hundred people led by the commander of the horse, there were more than 200 people waiting in the palace." (To be continued.) )
