Winter days are short, and it's time for lunch soon.

Xu Cancan ordered Zhu Yan to go to the kitchen in advance, and asked the kitchen to make a few light-tasting dishes, and then let people start setting the meal.

Zhu Yan was setting up a meal in the house, and it was the little maid Bai Zhi and Fan Yi who were standing outside to serve the food. Pink clothes stood outside the door, and Bai Zhi stood inside the door, busy in an orderly manner.

Xu Wang glanced out carelessly, but his gaze stayed on Bai Zhi standing inside the door.

Angelica Angelica is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her skin is more radiant than snow, and she is extremely beautiful.

Xu Wang glanced at it a few more times, and felt that this girl was neither humble nor arrogant, stable and steady, as if she was very urban, so he kept her in his heart.

After lunch, Xu Cancan instructed Fu Yang to lead Xu Shunhe and Xu Yichun to the guest room in the courtyard of the study in front to rest, and she accompanied her mother to chat and rest on the brocade couch in the living room of the West Dark Room.

Zhu Yan took the cut fruit on a crystal plate and brought it up, put it on the small table in the middle of the brocade couch, and then retreated to stand on one side with Biyun.

Xu Wang thought for a while and decided that he still had to talk to his daughter, so he glanced at Xu Cancan.

Xu Cancan saw his mother blink, then looked at Zhu Yan Biyun who was standing on the side, understood what his mother meant, and instructed Biyun Zhu Yan: "You two will go out for a while first!" ”

After Zhu Yan and Biyun retreated, Xu Cancan asked Xu Wang: "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Wang looked at Xu Cancan and asked in a low voice, "What is the name of the little girl who stood in the door just now to pass the meal?" ”

Xu Cancan thought for a moment and looked at Xu Wang's: "Is it the girl wearing a rose-red tight-fitting plain white skirt?" ”

"It's that girl," Xu Wang nodded again and again, frowning, "Cancan, what are you doing with such a beautiful girl by your side?" ”

Xu Cancan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Mother, you don't have to be a beautiful person to have bad intentions!" ”

Seeing that she was very disapproving, Xu Wang looked at her and said, "Cancan, you have to be careful anyway!" ”

Xu Cancan forked a piece of apple with a silver fork and fed it to his mother, and did not mention this matter again.

It was too warm in the room, and after a while, Xu Wang fell asleep on the couch.

Xu Cancan asked Biyun to take two embroidered quilts, first covered one for his mother, and the other on himself, and lay on the brocade couch with Bi Sain on his side to think about his thoughts.

The rules of Zhusheng Courtyard are very big, Xu Cancan rests in the room, and the people outside dare not speak loudly, so the inside and outside of the house are extremely quiet, and occasionally a little voice Xu Cancan can hear.

Seeing that Xu Cancan was asleep, Biyun and Zhu Yan discussed it, and explained to Bai Zhi Fanyi and the other four little maids on duty: "Let's go to Fu Yang and Fu Song's account for this month, you must always listen to the movements inside and wait carefully for the princess!" ”

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Sisters, don't worry!" ”

The other three maids hurriedly answered.

Biyun and Zhu Yan quickly left, and the inside and outside of the hall soon fell silent again.

Xu Cancan listened to the movement outside for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the afternoon, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and gradually became a trend of flying sand and rocks. Fu Yuchen saw that the weather was not good, so he returned to the Guogong Mansion after finishing the affairs in the palace.

Because Xu Shunhe took Xu Yichun to study with Fu Yuchen's advisor Lou Shixun in the study of the outer courtyard, Fu Yuchen did not disturb them and went to the inner courtyard first.

Bai Zhi and the other four maids stood under the corridor, and when they saw Fu Yuchen coming, they hurriedly curtsied: "I've seen the prince." ”

Fu Yuchen bowed slightly, and walked over without stopping.

Bai Zhi glanced at Fu Yuchen, who was wearing a black satin cloak and a jade tree in the wind, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and lifted the thick sapphire blue curtain hanging on the door of the hall on his heels.

Seeing that the prince was about to raise his feet to enter, Bai Zhi hurriedly seized the opportunity to speak: "Lord, the princess is resting inside with the wife of the foreign family!" ”

After that, she did not bow her head according to the rules, but looked at Fu Yuchen with burning eyes.

Fu Yuchen's footsteps stopped, and after a little thought, he turned around and planned to leave.

He took a step and then turned back and instructed Bai Zhi: "Wait for your princess to get up and call me in front." ”

After that, Fu Yuchen left.

Bai Zhi smiled and looked at his back and replied "yes".

The two little men who had come in with him followed.

Seeing that the prince was walking away, Bai Zhi's flexible eyes retracted her gaze, and she bowed her head respectfully and stood outside the corridor, waiting for Xu Cancan's summons.

It was a little hot in the room, Xu Cancan turned over and pressed against the quilt, and his mind gradually cleared up.

Seeing that his son was listening carefully to Lou Shixun's lecture, Xu Shunhe hurriedly quietly walked out of the study on the west side.

As soon as he came out, Tingyu, who was standing outside Fu Yuchen's study, saw him, walked over quickly, and bowed: "The slave has seen Mr. Xu!" ”

Xu Shunhe didn't say much, and asked him directly: "Is your prince free now?" I'm going to show him the pulse! ”

Hearing this, Yu hurriedly said: "The prince is seeing someone, why don't you go to the small guest room and wait first?" ”

Xu Shunhe saw that when he heard the rain say this, he immediately understood that the person Fu Yuchen saw was more important, nodded, went into the side room on the west side to get the medicine box, and then went to the small guest room next to Fu Yuchen's study to wait.

The people Fu Yuchen saw at this time were Yuming and Fu Liu, who were sent by him to escort the giant businessman Chen Suhua to Persia, and the military advisor Liang Qinghe was also present.

Yuming was originally a sword-eyed, star-eyed, dark-skinned, tall black man, he led the army to escort Chen Suhua's caravan through the territory of the Tak tribe and the Western Regions to Persia, and returned from Persia to send Chen Suhua back to Yunzhou.

He hadn't seen Fu Shuai for a long time, and some people went crazy for a while, and he didn't give Fu Liu a chance to speak, standing in front of Fu Shuai, dancing and talking about this experience in detail, of course, the focus was on the situation of the Takke tribe in the west of Daliang and the heroic wit on his way.

Fu Liu stood on one side, and after Yuming finished speaking, he added a few words and said another situation of the Takke tribe: "Lord Wang, the queen of the Takke tribe is now old, and she has four adult children, all of whom are ambitious, and the slave thinks that Takke will sooner or later fall into civil strife in the past few years. The subtext is "why not take the opportunity to stir up."

Fu Yuchen nodded, his phoenix eyes were unfathomable, obviously thinking of a strategy to sow discord.

Yuming said: "Now that Princess Tucker is in power, why don't we support the second prince?" ”

Fu Yuchen nodded, what he wanted at this time was to spare money, choose a prince or princess in Tucker to support, and then buy a Tucker important minister, so as to disrupt the internal affairs of Tucker.

When Fu Liu heard this, he hurriedly added: "The country to the west of the Takke tribe is Xilin, and their monarch has the intention of forming an alliance with our Daliang, and he does not dare to be arbitrary, so he needs to return to China to report——"

He looked at Fu Yuchen with a smile and added: "As soon as General Yu discussed with him, he took their envoys back to Bianjing disguised as caravan members. ”

Fu Yuchen's eyes showed a glimmer of excitement: "Please ask the envoy from Xilin to come and see me!" ”

Zhu Yan and Biyun came back after checking the accounts, and only after cleaning their hands did they go into the living room to wait for Xu

Shine up.

Xu Cancan and Xu Wang recombed their hair and washed their faces under the waiting of Zhu Yan Biyun, and then settled down in the hall.

Biyun served tea and stepped aside.

Zhu Yan stepped forward and talked about the reconciliation in the afternoon.

Xu Wangshi watched Zhu Yan take the account book and read the various receipts and expenditures of this month, and couldn't help but be shocked - Cancan has so much silver in his hands every month!

Xu Cancan listened carefully.

Although she was too lazy to take care of the accounts herself, she still had to know the general situation.

After listening to Zhu Yan's account, Xu Cancan said lazily: "In the future, Zhu Yan will go to report the account, and Biyun will be in charge of housekeeping in our yard!" ”

The room was silent for a moment, except for Xu Wang's family, the maids and grandmothers waiting in the room all understood-the princess made it clear that she would let Zhu Yan take care of the accounts and Biyun be the housekeeper!

Zhu Yan and Biyun stood side by side in front of Xu Cancan, and bowed in unison: "The slave will definitely live up to the princess's trust!" "Since the princess has entrusted the inner court to the two of them, they must do their best to repay the princess's trust.

Xu Cancan just picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the little servant swept the leaves and said: "Princess, the prince has brought General Yu and Brother Fu Liu into the palace, and the prince instructed the servants to report to the princess, saying that he will not come back for dinner at night!" ”

Xu Cancan smiled: "I know the truth!" ”

After that, she glanced at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan smiled and took a seal and sent it to Sweeping Leaves, and stuffed the seal to Sweeping Leaves. The prince has always been strict with his subordinates, and the princess often rewards the people who follow the prince, so the people who treat the princess with the prince have more intimacy.

She felt that the princess was really smart, but she didn't know that Fu Yuchen taught Xu Cancan this method, so that she could buy people's hearts.

Xu Cancan was just about to tell Zhu Yan to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but Xu Shunhe came over and resolutely said that he wanted to go back.

Xu Shunhe was originally waiting to show Fu Yuchen his pulse, and since Fu Yuchen couldn't come back for a while, he planned to come back tomorrow. Although his daughter's family is good, after all, he has in-laws in the hall, and he doesn't want to trouble his daughter.

Xu Cancan couldn't keep it, so he had to prepare a gift for Fu Yang to send his father and younger brother away.

After her father and brother left, Xu Cancan felt that the room was suddenly empty, and the emptiness made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she leaned on the pillow and sat on the couch in a daze.

Zhu Yan was careful, and seeing that Xu Cancan was in a low mood, he took a round red gold hand stove with a moon spring pattern under the forest and handed it to Xu Cancan, and said with a smile: "Princess, now that the lord, wife and son of the foreign family are all staying in Bianjing, if you want to see them, you can not only invite them over, but also visit them in person, how convenient!" ”

Xu Cancan stroked the warm but not hot red gold hand stove, sighed and said, "I don't know how to do it, but when I saw them all leaving, I felt uncomfortable. ”

In order to divert Xu Cancan's attention, Zhu Yan glanced at Biyun and said with a smile: "Princess, look, since Fu Liu came back, some people have no intention of doing things!" ”

Xu Cancan looked at Biyun with a smile, and found that Biyun was really distracted, and he didn't even hear Zhu Yan's words, so he lowered his head and smiled.

Zhu Yan and Xu Cancan's master and servant couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Cancan said: "When Fu Liu comes back, she will come to see me, and let her meet Fu Liu when the time comes!" ”

After talking and joking with Zhu Yan for a few words, Xu Cancan got up to look at the maids waiting for her, and told Zhu Yan to call those maids over.

Now the people who are waiting for Xu Cancan in the inner courtyard, in addition to the four grandmothers and Zhu Yan Biyun, there are four second-class maids and six third-class maids, a total of ten maids.

Zhu Yan called them all over to ask Xu Cancan for peace.

Xu Cancan held the red gold hand stove and looked at these girls in the prime of cardamom with a smile.

Most of these girls are middle-aged, but only two are quite colorful, one is pink, and the other is Angelica dalian.

Fan Yi is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and although his facial features are beautiful, he is a little dull.

Bai Zhi is a little bigger than the pink coat, her hair is combed and she pulls a fallen bun, and she holds it with a golden hairpin, her face is blue and red, obviously decorated with makeup, she is really a little beauty.

Xu Cancan looked at them, thinking about what his mother said, but there was no jealousy. Although she loves to be jealous, she will not be pantothenic when she sees a little bit of beauty.

Biyun had already sorted out his thoughts at this time.

Xu Cancan was too lazy to lecture, so he handed over the task of training to Biyun.

Biyun first talked about the various duties and rewards and punishments of the maids in the inner courtyard, and then gave kindness to Xu Cancan, in order to show his grace and power, and rewarded each of them with two taels of silver. Two taels of silver are equivalent to two months of their monthly silver, which is not less.

After these maids left, Xu Cancan instructed Biyun Zhuyan: "Look at that Bai Zhi carefully, don't let her wait for your prince alone." ”

Biyun Zhuyan replied "yes", and took Xu Cancan's words to heart.

The ten little maids came out after saluting, except for Jiang Lan and Gray Hui on duty, the rest went back to the east courtyard where the maids lived.

After leaving the inner courtyard, these little girls dared to speak, and they were very happy to talk and laugh, and they were very grateful to the princess for rewarding two taels of silver.

Only Bai Zhi held this small silver ingot, sneering in her heart: how rich the princess is, the endless silk and silk and pearls and gems that she wears, and even the hand stove in her hand is red gold, but she only rewarded them with two taels of silver! Two taels of silver, she can also get it!

After finishing this matter, Xu Cancan instructed Zhu Yan: "You go and talk to Fu Yang and Fu Song, and say that I will go to Shilang's Mansion tomorrow morning!" "Her mother is going to Xu's house tomorrow to ask her grandmother for peace, Xu Cancan is afraid that her mother will be wronged, so she plans to follow her to protect her mother.

Zhu Yan agreed, and then went out to discuss with Fu Yang and Fu Song.

It didn't take long for Zhu Yan to come back, and reported to Xu Cancan with a smile: "As soon as the slave and maid conveyed your words, Fu Yang took the name of the prince and went to see Lord Yin Yang of Kaifeng Mansion, and Fu Song rode to the palace to see the prince!" ”

Xu Cancan: "...... Just to visit relatives, as for such trouble? ”

Biyun smiled on the side: "Princess, your identity is different now, it is not so easy to go out, you have to make all kinds of preparations in advance, for example, you have to let Kaifeng Mansion Yin lead people to Jing Street, so that you can pass smoothly; You also have to inform the people of the Shilang Mansion to make all kinds of preparations to welcome you, such as cleaning the whole house, arranging your resting room, driving away the idle people, etc., and you have to find someone to accompany you......"

Xu Cancan's head was big when he heard it: "Oh, it's too troublesome, I'm not going!" ”

Zhu Yan couldn't help but smile: "Princess, it's too late now, I'm afraid the adults of Kaifeng Mansion have already begun to prepare, and Fu Song has also arrived at Shilang Mansion!" ”

Xu Cancan thought for a while and asked, "What ability does Fu Yang have to go and see Kaifeng Mansion Yin directly?" ”

Zhu Yan said with a smile: "First, behind Fu Yang is our prince, and second, Fu Yang, Fu Song and Fu Gui are now all military attachés of the Sixth Rank!" ”

Xu Cancan nodded instructively, there are many things she doesn't understand about this ancient thing!

Dinner was only used by Xu Cancan alone, and she didn't bother to bother, so she just needed a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

When Xu Cancan was soaking in the bathtub, Fu Yuchen came back.

He went directly into the bathroom, and while unbuckling his belt, he asked Xu Cancan, "Are you going to Xu's Mansion tomorrow?" Do you want me to go with you? ”

Xu Cancan saw that he was undressing, and knew Fu Yuchen's thoughts, so he glanced at him: "Are you free tomorrow?" ”

Fu Yuchen was silent. He has to arrange for Xilin envoys to enter the palace tomorrow, and he is really not available.

Fu Yuchen took off his dark blue robe and hung it on the jade screen: "I asked Yuming to choose a few more guards for you, and let them escort you over!" The waiters that Zhu Sheng, a fool, chose for Xu Cancan were too beautiful, and Fu Yuchen was very worried, so he instructed Yuming to choose a few guards with strong martial arts for Xu Cancan.

It didn't take long for the water's edge in the tub to overflow.

With Fu Yuchen's movements, the water on the bluestone ground flowed more and more.

Xu Cancan's trembling voice came out intermittently in the sound of the turbulent water-"Fu Yuchen, don't ...... Don't get ...... Get it in......"
