The next day, Lu Qingrong woke up a little later due to insomnia last night.

When she got up, Jiang Xuan was already gone.

I thought he had gone to the study to write as usual.

And when Jiang Xuan came back to have breakfast with her, he realized that his face was a little abnormal.

I saw that Jiang Xuan's face was silent, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Did you go to the study just now?" Lu Qingrong asked tentatively.

"Nope." Jiang Xuan's voice could not hide his loneliness, "I went to the back warehouse." ”

Lu Qingrong suddenly understood, he was referring to the room where Mrs. Jiang's relics were stored. I just don't know when he passed.

"Remembering a lot of the past?" Lu Qingrong asked softly.

"Hmm." Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, and a shallow smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth, "Especially that carved stepping bed, when I was a child, I was short, standing on it, I couldn't touch the bed frame on it when I jumped up......"

"It's rare that you can still remember things when you were so young." Lu Qingrong deliberately said that he had to take it easy.

"Come to think of it, it's that this qiē ended too early." Jiang Xuan's tone did not show sadness, and became normal, "If you grow up in the company of your mother like an ordinary child, you probably won't remember it so clearly!" ”

Lu Qingrong was silent.

She came to the Great Qi Dynasty, her parents are complete, and she has been accompanied by her mother since she was a child, she considers herself extremely lucky.

And even if it was in the previous life, he didn't have any impression of his mother since he was a child, and he already felt very miserable, thinking about it now, it was better than Jiang Xuan's gain and loss, not to mention, at such a young age!

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan did not fall into this sad situation all the time, and soon returned to normalcy.

It's just that the two of them had breakfast, Jiang Xuan came over and took her hand, held it quietly for a long time, and then got up, brought the incense burner, and went out of the house to ask someone who knew how to ask.

Lu Qingrong took advantage of his absence to take care of the accumulated family affairs.

It's almost the end of the year, and every time it comes to the New Year, it is the busiest time for the whole house. The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is busy for the New Year, and she has already received it once last year.

This time, Lu Qingrong planned to prepare in advance.

First of all, he called a few housekeepers and mothers in the house to come over, and arranged the purchase of the Hou Mansion and the preparation of the New Year's ceremony, and handed it over to Cao's mother and Ye's mother to be mainly responsible.

And the mother Li, who had lobbied Lu Qingrong to set off firecrackers to welcome Jiang Xuan before, after the lesson of the last time, she didn't dare to play tricks in front of Mrs. Shizi anymore, and listened to the orders with other mothers from beginning to end.

After sending away these housekeepers, Lu Qingrong called all the maids and servants in Yuyuan again.

She usually doesn't like to be surrounded by too many people, and she is not used to being greeted all day long, so many of them can only see Lu Qingrong after a long time.

Among them, there are Cai Mei and Cai Lian, as well as Wu Qi Niang and Wu Shi Niang sent by Empress Dowager Wu last month.

Cai Mei Cai Lian and the two are still standing in the most conspicuous position in front of them, drawing their eyebrows and eyes, and their makeup is exquisite. And compared with when Jiang Xuan first came back last month, the size of the two is obviously very different.

The skinny appearance before is long gone, replaced by just the right amount of slenderness and proportionality.

Seeing this, Lu Qingrong first glanced at Lu Zhu in surprise, and then secretly admired it in his heart.

When he pretended to be pitiful, he wanted to be thin, but later found that Jiang Xuan didn't eat this set at all, and within a month's effort, he was actually back to the same as before. And the changes of the two are very synchronous, which is really unconvincing

At this time, Cai Mei Cai Lian was a little apprehensive in his heart.

As soon as they entered the door of the hall, they looked around for a long time, but they didn't see the figure of the prince, thinking that it seemed that today's elaborate dress was in vain.

Lu Qingrong ignored them, and directly told everyone in the house, it was nothing more than some of them performing their own duties, no matter how lively the mansion was, they should not leave their posts without permission.

"It's not the first day of errands, so I don't need to be too long-winded." Lu Qingrong then ordered: "There are already many people in Yuyuan, and everyone can have a chance to rest for a day or two during the New Year." I have asked Luzhu to start the detailed arrangement, any of you have any special requirements, you can ask her to mention, if not, then according to the old rules, the family is in the house on an errand, just take a break for two days, first follow Lao Tzu Niang outside or in Zhuangzi. ”

There was an example from last year, and everyone knew that Mrs. was not empty words, and they hurriedly thanked Mrs. for her compassion.

Lu Qingrong didn't have anything more to say, so he waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

Just as everyone began to retreat, Lu Qingrong saw the two new maids, Wu Qi Niang and Wu Shi Niang.

Unlike the others, they didn't squeeze to the front just now, but stood with the mothers-in-law in the back row.

At this time, the people in front of them dispersed, and only then did Lu Qingrong notice them.

Compared with the day they first entered the Yuyuan, their clothes today are many times more plain.

The two of them applied a little powder, and they were both dressed in light cyan dresses, which were extremely ordinary satin, which was somewhat similar to Cai Mei Cailian's clothes, but they looked much more low-key.

And against the backdrop of the cold-colored dress, their red, swollen and even wounded hands are even more obvious.

As long as you are not blind, it is impossible not to see.

Seeing this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows.

First sighed secretly in her heart, she still glanced at the green bamboo.

Luzhu understood, and hurriedly went over to stop Wu Qiniang and Wu Shiniang, who were about to turn around and retreat, and invited them to reply in front of Mrs.

At this moment, Cai Mei and Cai Lian, who had already walked to the door, looked at each other for a moment at the same time.

In the eyes of others, this look seems quite obscure, as if mixed with a trace of uneasiness, and there is a faint hope.

Although Lu Qingrong noticed, he didn't pay attention to it, only staring at Wu Qiniang and Wu Shiniang in front of him up and down, and his eyes stopped on the red and swollen hands of the two for a long time.

Wu Qiniang was the first to react, and immediately hid her hand in her sleeve, and Wu Siniang next to her saw it, and she did the same and shrank her hand.

Lu Qingrong was not in a hurry to speak, but he was slandered in his heart, and it seemed that he still couldn't completely let them go.

When they first entered the house, they were quite vigilant, but in the past month, they have had a lot of things, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Tell me, what's going on with your hands?" Lu Qingrong's voice couldn't hear the slightest emotion.

Wu Shi Niang replied first: "It's us...... It was the slaves and maids who were washing their clothes, and the weather was very cold, and the water was bitterly cold, so it was a little frozen......"

She wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Wu Qiniang beside her: "It's because the slaves and maids are clumsy, and they haven't done these things at home before, so they have done this, so Mrs. is worried about it!" It's all slaves and maids, not ......" R1152
