The midday autumn sun hangs high in the sky, gilding the withered flowers and trees and the green brick path in the inner courtyard with a golden glow unique to autumn.

The room was already a little shady, but it was actually quite comfortable before the time when the earth dragon was needed, especially sleeping under a thin quilt.

Xu Cancan has already dressed up.

She was wearing a white silk stand-up collar jacket, adding a jade-colored cotton-hearted collar embroidered with orchid petals, combing a simple bun on her head, and using a jade phalaenopsis hairpin hairpin, her complexion was crystal clear, and she only applied some vermilion balm on her lips, looking simple and beautiful.

Zhu Yan leaned over and whispered: "Young lady, these four grandmothers were all the grandmothers of the grandfather of the country before, and after the princess of the country entered the door, she sent them to Luoyang Beizhuang, they are loyal to the grandfather of the country, and they are also loyal to the son." ”

Xu Cancan bowed slightly: "Zhu Yan has a heart!" ”

Before Zhu Yan could speak, Biyun interjected with a smile: "Don't praise her, young lady, this is what we should do as slaves!" ”

Xu Cancan stretched out his hand and knocked on her head: "You talk a lot!" ”

Biyun smiled.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

When the four grandmothers came in to salute, Xu Cancan was leaning on a blue brocade pillow on the couch, and Biyun knelt on one side diagonally, and used a silver fork to fork the cut fruit to feed her.

Seeing the four grandmothers curtsied, Xu Cancan was still crooked there, and said lazily: "Grandmothers are polite, please get up!" ”

The four grandmothers are four different appearances, their hair is gray, and they all look like they are about sixty years old.

After they got up, they saw Xu Cancan's lazy appearance, but there was no difference in the face at all, and he was still smiling.

Xu Cancan also looked at them.

She intuitively felt that these four grandmothers had a good impression of her, so she also got serious, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Grandmothers, please sit down!" ”

The four grandmothers are faintly dominated by a skinny grandmother. The thin grandmother curtsied and saluted, and said: "If the old slave and the others were not the son, they would have died without a place to be buried, so when they received the son's order, the old slave and the others swore in unison that if they betrayed the son's wife, they would be willing to die by thunder and thunder!" ”

Xu Cancan's face turned straight when he heard this, and he was a little more solemn - people in this era attach great importance to swearing curses, especially those who are older, since they have sworn like this, they will be loyal to her.

She said with a straight face: "Mama, please sit down first!" He looked at Zhu Yan again: "Go make a pot of tea and bring it over!" ”

Zhu Yan replied "yes" and retreated.

Xu Cancan looked at the four grandmothers with a smile and said, "You grandmothers don't know what to call them?" ”

The four grandmothers can be regarded as having experienced the twists and turns of life, and they have already become human spirits, so they introduced themselves one by one in order when they heard the words.

The first to get up was the thin little mother-in-law who was the leader. She was wearing a washed white royal blue robe and a sauce-colored horse-faced skirt, which was old but clean.

She smiled slightly, saluted neatly, and said in a deep voice: "The old slave's original surname is Yin, and the young lady calls the old slave Mrs. Yin, which is to look up to the old slave!" ”

Xu Cancan felt that this Mama Yin must have been shrewd and strong when she was young, but she had been suppressed for too long, and now although she has fallen, she still has that spirit.

She smiled and instructed Biyun: "Bring the red lacquer carved box on my dressing table!" ”

Biyun quickly walked over with a box in his hand, and flicked open the hidden button before giving it to Xu Cancan.

Xu Cancan glanced at it slightly, and then selected a Yuntou Duobao Fulu chisel flower gilt hairpin and a pair of red gold carved peony bracelets for Mama Yin.

Mama Yin thanked her earnestly.

The second grandmother who got up and introduced herself claimed to be surnamed Chen, tall and fat, and could see that she was a beauty when she was young, but she was still shy when she was over sixty years old, Xu Cancan had a good impression of her, and took a jade leaf golden cicada hairpin and a pair of inlaid red gold bracelets and gave it to her.

Even if Mama Chen accepted her reward, she was a little shy, took it with a red face, and hurriedly bent her knees to thank her.

The third grandmother who got up and introduced herself was surnamed Li, with a wide face, a pointed chin, a single eyelid and thin lips, and a thin face, but she had a bright smile and convenient eloquence, but Xu Cancan felt that she was a little shrewd and exposed, and rewarded her with a pair of gold lantern earrings and a pair of silver bracelets inlaid with turquoise.

Mama Li blurted out a lot of sincere words of thanks, and then carefully returned to her seat.

The fourth grandmother is surnamed Dong, five short but very obese, round balls, black and yellow rough skin, only a pair of eyes black and white are bright and shining, and at first glance it is an inner beauty type.

Xu Cancan liked her eyes, and gave her a golden silk butterfly hairpin and a pair of red gold shrimp bracelets.

After listening to the self-introduction of the four grandmothers, because Zhu Yan and Biyun lived in the east wing, Xu Cancan arranged the four grandmothers in the west wing.

Then Xu Cancan began to get down to business, and assigned the task of welcoming the seven girls back to their homes to the four grandmothers, and then said with a smile: "Before dinner, I will accept them one by one, and you must do your best to be perfect!" ”

The four grandmothers said in unison: "Obey the order of the young lady!" ”

Xu Cancan was a little tired, walked around the house several times, and ate a fragrant pear, an apple, and a pomegranate, and then sat down to see her outer housekeeper Fu Song and inner housekeeper Fu Yang.

Fu Yang Fu Song was given to the young lady by Fu Yuchen, so he did not put those red tape of meeting across the curtain, but stood under the corridor of the hall and reported to Xu Cancan one by one.

Fu Song took over all of Xu Cancan's stores, including the ready-to-wear shop Cui Fengxi given to her by Fu Yuchen, Dingguo Bus and Emperor Yong'an, so he explained to Xu Cancan in detail, such as how to operate and how to settle accounts.

Fu Yang is Xu Cancan's internal housekeeper, and in addition to managing the affairs of Zhusheng Courtyard, he also took over the tidying, remodeling, and decoration of the Han Garden.

Xu Cancan waited for him to finish, and then spoke: "The grandfather and his wife will enter Beijing in a few days, and the house on the bookstore street must be renovated, and the required silver can be settled from me!" ”

Fu Yang replied "yes" and retreated.

Xu Cancan is going to choose a maid next.

According to the standard configuration of Princess Daliang's maids, she must have sixteen personal maids. Xu Cancan didn't plan to choose so much, she felt that the maids were also not expensive, so she planned to choose twelve, four second-class maids, six third-class maids, plus two first-class maids Biyun and Zhu Yan, she had a total of twelve maids waiting for her.

After choosing the maid, Xu Cancan sat for a long time, and she was even more sore, she proposed to go to the garden behind the inner courtyard for a walk first, and come back after a walk to eat vegetarian stuffed xiaolongbao and drink a bowl of corn and sweet potato porridge to make a belated lunch, and then meet people.

Zhu Yan and Biyun worshipped her like a god, so they both agreed. The result of the discussion was that Zhu Yan went to the small kitchen to prepare lunch for Xu Cancan, and Biyun accompanied Xu Cancan for a walk.

This small garden is just behind the main house where Xu Cancan lives, it is a small and exquisite garden, in addition to plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, pine and cypress, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions.

Xu Cancan walked along the bluestone path to the lake, and stumbled upon a cluster of green chrysanthemums growing on the edge of the bamboo forest.

After admiring the green chrysanthemum, Xu Cancan went to swing in the pine forest in front, and Biyun stayed behind, not knowing what Lu Dao was doing.

As soon as Xu Cancan got off the swing, he saw Biyun holding a large green chrysanthemum and walking over diligently.

As soon as Biyun looked up and saw Xu Cancan, she said happily: "Young lady, the slave maid picked chrysanthemums for you!" ”

Xu Cancan: "......"

Back to the front, as soon as Xu Cancan entered the hall, he saw a steaming lunch on the table of the Eight Immortals - two cages of leek and egg xiaolongbao, a plate of mint leaves mixed with walnut kernels, a plate of garlic beans, a plate of vinegared mung bean sprouts and a plate of fried chicken with green peppers, and a white porcelain pot with sweet potato and corn porridge - all of which are Xu Cancan's favorite meals!

She ate a few pieces of snacks for breakfast and drank a cup of tea, and now she was already hungry, and when she saw these hot foods, she couldn't wait to eat them immediately!

Quickly cleaned his hands, Xu Cancan picked up the carved bamboo chopsticks and stretched out to the plate of fried chicken with green peppers as soon as he sat down.

The chicken is fragrant and spicy, with the unique taste of green peppers, and with leek and egg xiaolongbao, Xu Cancan ate several bites in a row, and it was so spicy that he still wanted to eat it even if he exhaled.

Zhu Yan gave the sweet potato polenta that had been served and dried a long time ago to Xu Cancan.

Bianjing is surrounded by sandy land, which is very suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes and watermelons, and the sweet potatoes and watermelons in Bianjing are famous all over the world, which can be said to be sweet and famous.

Xu Cancan scooped a spoonful of sweet potato polenta and tasted it, the sweet potato noodles were sweet, the corn was mellow, and the soup was sweet and fragrant.

Zhu Yan and Biyun wanted to come to serve, but they were driven away by Xu Cancan: "You two hurry down to eat, we have a lot of things to do in the afternoon!" ”

Her words were unskillful, but Zhu Yan and Biyun both knew that the young lady was considerate of them, so they smiled and saluted, put away the cups and plates, and went down to eat.

Xu Cancan leaned quietly on the couch, holding a pillow and thinking about his thoughts.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Fu will go out of the customs, and the seven Fu girls will return to their parents' house, and for her, the daughter-in-law who has just taken over the power of the family, tomorrow will be a difficult day.

She had to arrange everything properly, and she had to be prepared. Occasionally thinking of his team of beautiful male guards, Xu Cancan couldn't help laughing: Fu Yuchen can endure it and hasn't changed people until now, which means that he is really busy and has no time to worry about this!

Fu Yuchen took Zhou Ying to be busy for a whole day, and after the last time, 780 people were imprisoned, including eunuchs, palace maids, and guards guarding the palace.

For these people, Fu Yuchen didn't have time to interrogate at all, he handed over the seven hundred and eighty men, women and non-men and women to Ma Mingyu's second son Ma Yingfei - Ma Yingfei returned to Beijing on behalf of Fu Yuchen in advance, and after the operation of Fu Yuchen and Ma Mingyu, he was already in charge of Zhaojiao at this time.

When it came to the auspicious time of Qintian's selection of a good man, Emperor Yong'an strongly supported the sick body and led the civil and military hundred officials to serve the crown in the Zongmiao, and succeeded Fu Yuchen as the heir, and the title was Qing, that is, the Prince of Qing, and the Hanyuan was given as the palace of the Prince of Qing.

Xu Cancan didn't expect everything that happened in the Taimiao, she didn't know that her husband and wife had changed from Mrs. Fu to the princess of the Qing Dynasty, and she was still carefully checking the preparations for Mama Yin and the four of them to entertain the seven Fu girls.

The stage was set up, the troupe was settled, and the banquet was arranged by Fu Song for Yan Lou to be sent over at that time, and the copper coins for rewarding the slaves were also filled with a large dustpan...... What's missing?

Xu Cancan stood in front of the stage in the front garden of the Red Maple Residence, silently calculating.

At this time, Bi Yun, who was in charge of liaison outside, rushed over with a happy face, stopped abruptly in front of Xu Cancan, and happily curtsied: "The slave has seen the princess of Qing!" ”

Everyone present, whether it was Xu Cancan's people, or Dingguo Gong Fu Yunzhang's people, or Mrs. Fu's people, were stunned for a moment, and then they all saluted and congratulated.

Xu Cancan pulled Biyun and interrogated carefully, and when she learned that it was Fu Gui who came from the palace, she couldn't help but laugh.

Although he was very happy, Xu Cancan knew that he had to make a calm appearance. She looked reserved and said, "When the son returns to the house, everyone in the mansion will receive the reward according to the level!" ”

Everyone looked at Xu Cancan at this time, as if they saw a golden phoenix flying into the sky, where did they dare to be disrespectful? Immediately cheered and thanksgiving.

After returning to the inner courtyard of Zhusheng Courtyard, Xu Cancan ordered Biyun to call Fu Gui over, interrogated him again, and learned that the news was true, so he smiled and gave Fu Gui a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels.

Fu Guihuan happily accepted the reward and thanked him.

Xu Cancan said at this time: "Fu Gui, go to the study of the main courtyard and report the good news to Grandpa Guo!" "My father-in-law must have his own information channels, I'm afraid that he has already learned about Fu Yuchen's inheritance of the crown prince, but as a daughter-in-law, she still has to send Fu Gui to report a letter to show her position.

After all this, Xu Cancan fell on the brocade couch all of a sudden, and smiled relaxedly.

She has been watching out for the whole afternoon that Madame Fu or the seven Fu girls will make her ugly tomorrow, or set a trap to harm her, and now she can relax half of her mind for the time being—if these Fu girls are still sensible, then they have to be polite to her!

What Xu Cancan didn't expect was that most of the seven Fu girls were like Mrs. Fu's non-kneading sand, and only a small part of them were like Fu Yunzhang's flexible and changeable.

Such a small negligence caused irreparable damage to her.

Xu Tinghe also quickly ordered Xu Sen to bring the good news home.

It happened that Xu Yipeng took Xu Yilian home to save his relatives on this day, Xu Han's, Xu Yipeng, Xu Yipeng's newlywed wife Cui Shi and Xu Yilian were staying in the main room of Qingxin Courtyard drinking tea and talking, and Xu Sen stood under the corridor to report the good news.

Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent, but their minds were different.

Xu Han's is happy first and then worried.

She is happy that Xu Cancan is now a princess, and she will be the mother of the world in the future, and she and her husband's investment have received the greatest return.

What she is worried about is that her husband Xu Tinghe is now bent on sending beauties to the Dingguo Mansion, so that these people can help Xu Cancan to consolidate his favor.

Xu Hanshi thinks that men are really stupid - will women be generous enough to share their husbands with other women? No matter how docile Xu Cancan is, he will be dissatisfied with Xu Tinghe!

Xu Yilian is happy first and then jealous.

She is happy that the future Queen Daliang is her cousin, and in the future, she will not only dominate the concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also her status in social occasions will rise - you must know that Lu Dao is always inferior in the Prime Minister's Mansion as a concubine and daughter-in-law!

She is jealous that Xu Cancan is not as good as her in addition to her beauty, whether it is her background, cultivation, literary talent or ability to govern the family, but Xu Cancan has become a princess and will have a mother in the future, but she married a concubine and was inferior in her life.

Xu Yilian sneered in her heart: How high can a woman who is only on the top of her hue climb? She is waiting for the day when Xu Cancan climbs high and falls!

For her father to send a beauty to the newly baked Prince Qing, Xu Yilian is still very supportive.

Xu Yipeng was a little trance, a little happy, and a little worried.

The reason why he was in a trance was because his cousin, who was still naïve and immature half a year ago and needed him to teach etiquette, has now become a princess step by step.

The reason why he is happy is because as a cousin, he also hopes that his cousin will have a bright future, Xu Cancan has become a princess, and he is also happy for Xu Cancan.

The reason why he is worried is because he entered the officialdom after being a jinshi, and he deeply understands that upper-class couples are talking about being good for each other, and Xu Cancan, who lacks a strong mother's family, will be bullied?

Cui's family was born in a famous family in Bianjing, and he has just been married for three months, and now he is three months pregnant.

She is one year older than Xu Yipeng, with a round face and big eyes, and she is very happy. When she married into the Xu Mansion, Xu Cancan was in Yunzhou, so she had not met yet.

Xu Cancan had just returned to Bianjing, and he only had time to order someone to send the gift to Xu's mansion, but he hadn't visited it in person.

Seeing the gifts given to herself and her husband, Cui felt that this sister-in-law was so generous!

For this sister-in-law who has never met, she only heard the maids and mothers-in-law mutter, saying that the second girl was born extremely beautiful, and the aunt she married was the generalissimo of Zhengnan, which was very blessed.

Cui's family was born in a high family, and immediately understood that since this sister-in-law married Fu Shuai, the only seedling of the Fu royal family, she would be the queen in the future, but she didn't expect things to go so fast - the second girl was Mrs. Tuanlian when she married, and it didn't take long for her to become the marshal's wife, and she became the princess as soon as she returned with her husband Pingnan - Cui's family plans to make good friends with this second girl!

Xu Ting and Xia Chao returned, breaking the silence of the room. His face was full of smiles, and as soon as he came in, he instructed Xu Hanshi: "Madam, quickly prepare gifts, and tomorrow we will go to the Guogong Mansion to congratulate you!" ”
