When Lord Anning was rummaging through the cabinets in the mansion, searching for witch things, a strange visitor came to the Zongren Mansion.

The Zongren Mansion specializes in the management of the royal clan personnel, starting from the birth of a baby to the construction of jade, to which tomb should be buried after death, during which many matters of marriage and separation, various items of Juelu sacrifices, and even the punishment of misconduct of the sect and the children of the clan are all responsible for the Zongren Palace.

Now that the New Year is approaching, the Zongren Mansion is also preparing to close the door and go home to celebrate the New Year with his wife and children, like many other yamen.

On the last day of the closure of the mansion, suddenly a middle-aged woman in palace clothes came over, with a tangled look on her face, and stood at the head of the door for a long time.

Fu Cheng, who was on duty, had just brewed a pot of hot tea, added the last few pieces of silver frost charcoal to the charcoal basin, and was picking up a piece of Wuwei Zhai's signature dim sum mung bean cake, preparing to spend this leisurely last working day beautifully, but saw someone coming to the door.

"I'm going to seal the government today!" Fu Cheng said unhappily: "If you want to advance money, it is absolutely impossible!" Besides, didn't everyone give out a piece of cloth and a bucket of rice? If there is a home dispute, it can't be dealt with today! ”

The royal family, especially the royal family, which has been passed down for many years, can almost be said to be the largest family. The members of the clan can give birth to one by one, and they don't have to worry about feeding if they are born anyway. Gradually, many branches developed.

Of course, the royal clan also has a distinction between far and near, but as long as it is a clan, it can receive silver rice in the Zongren Mansion on a monthly basis, and there are other benefits for the New Year's holidays. We can't let the children of the clan still have cold and starvation.

The money has long been sent, and those who come to the Zongren Mansion near the end of the year, one is that they are very poor or in debt, and they are not having a good time at the end of the year, so they come to beg and want to advance the share of the new year.

Another common situation is that there are often illegitimate children in the outer room, etc., who take advantage of this festive day to come to the door, and want to get a serious name, and it is really common to succeed - anyway, if you don't succeed, you can be disgusting and disgusting, and everyone has a bad New Year.

Therefore, as soon as this Fu Cheng spoke, he sealed these two things first, hoping that the woman would retreat as soon as possible, and enjoy the hot tea and dessert by herself.

It's a pity that the woman didn't seem to understand, and actually walked in slowly and stood in front of Nafu Cheng's table.

"Okay, okay," Fu Cheng reluctantly shifted the teapot and took the register, "Where did you come from?" What's the matter? Let me tell you first, even if it is registered today, it will not be manned until the next year. ”

The last working day is also a working day, so I can't say that I don't have to work.

In a place like the Zongren Mansion, there are almost no ordinary people coming to hang out, not to mention that this woman is wearing palace clothes, which are usually only found in the Clan's Mansion of the Clan.

"My surname is Song, and I am from the palace." really entered the Zongren Mansion, and Grandma Song's tangled color gradually disappeared.

"From the palace?" Na Fu Cheng stopped the pen in his hand and said suspiciously: "You must be looking for the Zongren Mansion?" Not the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”

"Yes." Grandma Song's voice was low and steady, and she suddenly reached into her sleeve and took out a bamboo tube: "Please take a look at this first." ”

Fu Cheng opened the bamboo tube and found that the bamboo tube was obviously used to protect the contents from being damaged.

After taking out the things and looking at them carefully, Fu Cheng's mouth couldn't help but open wider and wider, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Experience, adult! Experience adult! ”

The Commander-in-Chief Zongren's Mansion is the Zongling, and the Zongling is either a prince or a county king, and the current Zongling is Prince Min, of course, there is no need to sit in the government.

The sect orders the lord down, but the sect people, there is a left sect and a right sect person, and it is also a prince-level person, and it is not very common.

It is the Experience Division that really deals with the day-to-day business.

Hearing that Fu Cheng escalated the matter so quickly and called for help, Grandma Song suddenly felt that her confidence had increased a little.

……

Xia Xiaodong was stained with Lu Yunzhi's light, and every day he went to the old lady's yard for dinner and used it with the old lady.

Although the food is a little uncomfortable, and the slow rhythm makes people a little anxious, as long as you get used to such occasions and see it as a spice, it is not bad.

Mainly, it is very face-saving.

has been in contact with the Lu family for a long time, and Xia Xiaodong has already understood many unspoken rules.

A lot of things are not taken to the table and written in black and white.

For example, there are actually many girls in the Lu family, but those who can come to the old lady, whether it is to accompany them to gossip or eat and walk together, they all represent decency.

The attitude of the old lady represents whether she likes a certain girl or not, and also represents whether she approves of a certain house.

Moreover, the old lady can also represent the old lady in a certain way.

Although the old lady also has a few concubines, he still has a tacit understanding with his wife, at least he has always fully respected and affirmed the old lady's right to speak in the affairs of the inner house, and never interferes in the affairs of the inner house at will.

Of course, this is the traditional male protagonist and female dominance model, but in fact, there are always inextricable links between the inside and outside, where can it be too clear?

Take the matter of the New Year's gift as an example, of course, the old lady should be in charge of the gift of human relations, but what should be sent to the palace, don't you need to discuss it with the old lady?

And the things outside, such as the Lu family, have a few places, which can make the children of the shadow officials - of course, it is an official position with a good name and no real power, and it is the kind that does not have to work for nothing. Doesn't the old lady need to discuss these places with whom they are not given?

The status of the old lady can be imagined.

Therefore, competing to show filial piety is a regular drama staged in front of the old lady.

Xia Xiaodong has only been here for two days, and he has seen a lot of novel things.

For example, the strange flowers and plants from Fanbang, the whole volume of Buddhist scriptures in the winter with the fragrance of flowers and hand-copied are neat, and the hand-made foreheads, clothes, shoes and the like are renovated in an endless stream, which is breathtaking.

Lu Yunzhi also prepared a double-sided embroidery of a cat for the old lady, let the maid hold it, and went all the way to the old lady with Xia Xiaodong.

Along the way, Xia Xiaodong was thinking all the way, should he also give Mrs. Lu some gifts to show her closeness? The thing that was sent before, although the thing was fully recognized, was given to the Lu family after all. Judging from what I have seen in the past two days, there should be some purely personal gifts, which are in line with the 'favor' I have received.

Yes, in the eyes of many people, Xia Xiaodong is really a very special favored person. There has never been a girl outside before, who can have such dignity, even if it is a cousin girl who is related to her, there is no such thing.

Even if you explain it with 'Lu Yunzhi's light', it doesn't make very sense, because there are still quite a lot of ladies who have dealings with Lu Yunzhi, and there are also those who have lived in the house.
