Chapter Twenty-Nine: Entering the Princess's Mansion for the First Time
Although Mama Chen is an old thief, she has to admit that although she is not right-minded, she does have the means to manage Mama. However, in one afternoon, she instructed the maids and ladies of the West Cross Courtyard to pack all the things that they were going to take to the princess's mansion, and they were very complete.
"Miss, take a look, is there anything else you want to bring?" Mama Chen invited Wei Wei over, looked at the few packages in front of her and asked.
Now it's summer, and Mama Chen packs mostly summer dresses, shoes and socks, handkerchiefs, etc., as well as a box of beaded jewelry. The rest also have toiletries and the like, which can be regarded as very thoughtful.
After thinking about it, Wei Wei pointed to the handkerchief placed in the corner: "Bring another set of women's red utensils and prepare a few books." "When you get there, you can learn some skills and pass the time.
"If you bother your mother to tell your mother, this side has been cleaned up."
"No trouble, no trouble, the old slave should." Mama Chen said repeatedly, but her face was quite colorful.

Wei Yuan's side is ready, and Wei Yuan's side is not slow. When she got up early to go to the main courtyard, Aunt Cui expected that her wife would definitely agree, but it was not easy to clean up her eyeliner buried by her husband in the morning. After getting Mrs. permission, he came back and was busy, almost cleaning up with Wei Wei.
This time, the first-class and second-class maids and housekeepers who were serving around the two of them all followed, and the rest of the maids and mothers-in-law continued to stay in the courtyard to watch the house.
On the morning of the second day, they met their father Wei Hou and mother Liang, and the two set off.
The Weihou Mansion is adjacent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and after walking for less than half an hour, the two of them entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
The last time I greeted my grandmother, Mrs. Wei, was at the gate of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and I did not enter the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but I could already see the golden brilliance and grandeur of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
This time did not enter directly from the backyard, but entered through the side door, through the shadow wall, the front hall, the main hall, the instrument door, through a lot of verandahs, along the way carved beams and paintings, magnificent, royal style is fully revealed.
Grandmother Mrs. Wei's housekeeper Mama Zhu picked up Wei Wei and Wei Yuan at the side door, and accompanied them all the way until they entered the Yimen, and Mama Zhong's figure appeared.
Entering the Yimen, it can be regarded as the back house of the princess's mansion, and the axis of the straight line is facing the dormitory, which is the living place of Mrs. Wei.
"Eldest Miss, Third Miss." Mama Zhong bowed in a proper manner, and then continued: "Although it is not far but not close along the way, the old lady is considerate of you, and orders the old slave to take you to settle down first, two of you here, please." Mama Zhong led the two of them to the left.
"Thank you, grandmother, for your kindness." The two bowed in the direction of the dormitory.
"The one in the middle is the old lady's bedroom, and the one we are going to go to now is Lishui Garden, which is there." While leading the two of them to walk, Mama Zhong pointed to a large courtyard on the left side of the dormitory, which was also their destination: "That is the Lishui Garden that the old lady specially asked to pack up for you to live in." Although Lishui Garden is not the largest courtyard in the eldest princess's mansion, it is the closest to the old lady and has the best scenery, and there is a small garden at the back. It turns out that Lord Pingjun, oh, is your eldest aunt, who lived here before she left the pavilion. โ
Wei Wei just wanted to speak, but Wei Yuan hurriedly said, "Oh, that's it, thank you Mama Zhong for bothering!" Yuan'er wants to be closer to her grandmother! โ
Wei Yuan hurriedly spoke, Wei Wei didn't speak again, but quietly listened to Mama Zhong's introduction, while watching the scenery along the way.
Wei Yuan glanced at Wei Wei, who was looking around leisurely, and disdainful in his heart: soil buns. She was also very nervous, but her aunt told her that she must be calm and generous.
Inadvertently, the corners of Mama Zhong's eyes seemed to unintentionally cross the two of them, but in fact, she was looking at the two of them carefully, and she slowly had a plan in her heart.
It was not time to walk for tea, and the group stopped in front of Lishui Garden.
A richly dressed woman had already greeted her.
"Hello Mama Zhong." The mother-in-law bowed down from a distance, and when Mama Zhong immediately walked up, she smiled and got up: "I haven't seen my old sister for a long time, my old sister has always been good?" Yo, this is the eldest sister that the eldest princess said she wants to live in, right? This is a noble person carved in pink! Hey, what's the other one? โ
This crackling cannon seems to be very slippery, and it seems to be a rather face-stricken-looking mother-in-law.
Mama Zhong smiled faintly, and didn't see her at all: "Sister Sun, I haven't seen her for a few years." Your spirit is as good as ever. "I don't know who I am!
Then he directly ignored her remaining questions, and said directly to Wei Wei and Wei Yuan: "Two sisters, this is the grandma of Lishui Garden, who was originally an old man waiting for the big county lord, and the big county lord has been talking about trivial matters in Lishui Yuan since he got married. You can come to her for anything here. โ
After saying this, Wei Wei understood a little in her heart, and then she heard Wei Yuan's crisp voice greeting: "I will ask Grandma Sun to take care of it in the future." โ
Wei Wei sighed in her heart, is it really good for you to talk nonsense if you can't figure out the situation? What a self-inflicted cleverness!
"I'm tired." Wei Wei also followed.
Grandma Sun smiled toothlessly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say..."
Mama Zhong couldn't bear such a greeting, and interrupted Mama Sun's pride: "Mama Sun let us stand at this door?" There are still so many people and luggage in the back, so you can't let the two sisters settle down? "No matter how important it is!
Only then did Mama Sun notice the people and the big bags and small bags following behind, so she remembered her duty and slapped herself lightly: "Look at the memory of the old woman, thanks to the old sister's reminder, come, the two sisters will come in first to settle down, and the old slave will tell you about the situation in Lishui Garden..."
Mama Sun was foaming at the mouth and introducing, and at the same time beckoned Wei Wei and his party into Lishui Garden.
To put it simply, there are three entrances to Lishui Garden, one is the main courtyard of Lishui Garden, there are five main rooms and two left and right ear rooms, as well as three east and west wings, and some flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard. The second entrance is actually a small garden with a swing, and the third entrance after the garden is actually a row of inverted houses, which is a place for people to live.
Standing in the courtyard, Mama Sun hasn't stopped yet. She rambled a lot, and she didn't say exactly where the two lived, but Wei Yuan listened to it with relish.
"Grandma Sun, I wonder where the two of us sisters live? It's okay for the maids to put their things first. Wei Wei interrupted Grandma Sun's mouth and asked.
"This..." Mama Sun looked at Mama Zhong's face, and found that Mama Zhong didn't seem to have the intention of answering, and said cheekily: "The old slave here has already asked the maids to clean up inside and out, but it was said that there was one when the notice was announced, so..." The implication is that at that time, it was said that there was one person, who came to live in the main house, and now there is one more, and she doesn't know how to assign it.
As soon as Mama Sun's words came out, Wei Yuan's face turned a little dark, does this mean that she is superfluous? A huge princess's mansion, where can there be no place for her?!
The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little cold in an instant.
Mama Zhong continued to lower her eyebrows and keep silent.
Mama Sun is also a well-behaved person, and when she found that something was wrong, she simply smiled and said: "Where did the old slave do the master's master, there are still things and things here, the two sisters don't discuss it, there is also a sister to live in the wing, and all the tools are complete." "The choice is yours! Grandma Sun didn't hesitate to push this hot potato out.
Wei Yuan rolled her eyes, turned around and pulled Wei Wei's sleeve, looking pitiful: "Big sister, you live in the main house." โ
Mama Zhong is still there, and she also has a good impression, which not only shows her deep sisterhood and generosity, but also takes Wei Wei into the army.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Wei would never be able to live in the main house.
Wei Wei didn't want to use herself to bring out the kindness and generosity of this young and thoughtful third sister, let alone fulfill her careful plan, thinking that the main house must be the original aunt's living place, she had an idea in her heart.
She didn't answer Wei Yuan's words, but first said to Grandma Sun: "I think the main house must be the original aunt's living place, right?" โ
Seeing that Grandma Sun nodded, she turned to Mama Zhong, who had been silent, and said, "Mama Zhong, grandmother let our sisters live in the original courtyard of the eldest aunt, this is a loving heart of grandmother, I am very grateful." No matter which of us sisters lives in the main house, it will inevitably destroy the original layout, and if we sisters don't live in the main house, it is better to leave a memory for our grandmother and aunt. Isn't there still two wings of things? The two of us would have stayed in a separate room. โ
When Wei Yuan heard this, his face turned red and white, which was quite unsightly. In the end, this is the eldest princess's mansion, and she still endured it.
"The eldest sister has a heart." Mama Zhong finally spoke, turned her head to Mama Sun and ordered: "The eldest sister said so, then let's do it, the two sisters each live in a side room, the old sister, you can arrange it, the sister is young, you take care of it more." โ
He said to Wei Wei Yuan: "The two sisters are good children, and they are very tired from tossing back and forth this morning, the old lady said let you settle down first, prepare for lunch, take a nap in the afternoon, you can also go to the back garden to take a walk, and go to the old lady to eat together in the evening." He sighed again: "It's a little useless when you're old!" The errand here is also done, and the old slave has gone to the old lady to reply, so you can settle down. โ
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Mama Zhong raised her feet and went back to the dormitory, and Mama Sun sent her out all the way.
As soon as Mama Zhong's figure disappeared, Wei Yuan snorted at Wei Wei, and then instructed the maids to carry things back to the east wing.
Wei Wei didn't care, and told the maids to settle down in the west wing.
