5 Lan Xue
After sending off the people in the palace, Fu Ye asked with a smile: "The princess wants to go back to Weiyue Ju to rest?" The old slave had already asked his subordinates to prepare the meal. ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, she was already not feeling well, and after tossing for a long time, she did feel a little tired.
Back to Weiyueju, the two girls of green orange and red apricot had already set up the meal, because of the hot weather, there was also a chilled feta cheese on the table, Lin Mu'er didn't eat much of the main meal, but ate this goat cheese, it was cold and cold, and it soothed Lin Muer's boring mood a lot.
After finishing the meal, Lin Mu'er glanced at her dowry list, a long stack, and instantly lost the mind to look carefully, so she told Xie's mother to take it for a good time, and when she was free another day, she would count it herself.
Mother Xie saw that Lin Mu'er was a little unrefreshed, and said, "Miss, do you want to take a break?" ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, she was indeed a little tired, and the matter was not in a hurry at this time, just sort it out slowly. The red apricot made the bed neatly, helped Lin Mu'er to lie down, Lin Mu'er pulled the big red mandarin duck brocade quilt and covered it, and glanced at the red apricot who was helping him tuck the quilt corners, a girl who looked very dignified, looked about the same age as Qingcheng, but she was a lot more stable in her work. Lin Mu'er closed her eyes and pondered slowly, and fell asleep after a while.
When Lin Mu'er opened his eyes when he was full of sleep, the sky was already full of sunshine outside the house, and the sun was setting in the west. Lin Mu'er was a little embarrassed, and she slept for an afternoon on the first day of her wedding, which called how the people in the palace thought of her new master. Hurriedly got up at the moment, but her face was very stable, so that no one could see her thoughts. Mother Xie wrung a warm towel and cleaned her noodles, Qingcheng brought a light of osmanthus and red bean paste, and Lin Mu'er took a few bites: Well, the sweetness is moderate, and there is a hint of osmanthus fragrance, if it is chilled, I am afraid it will be even more delicious.
"Miss, it turns out that several sisters from Weiyueju want to come to greet you." Qingcheng saw that his young lady was stirring the food in the bowl without a match, and said in a timely manner.
"Sister?" Lin Mu'er was a little confused and asked suspiciously.
"It's the girls who used to serve in Weiyueju, who are a few years older than Qingcheng and them, and in this day, they are all familiar." Mother Xie looked at the stunned Lin Mu'er with some amusement.
"Oh." Lin Mu'er nodded, the old man of the palace, this is what he should see, so he said, "Let them come in." ”
Lan Xue came in with a group of girls, only to see that the new master was wearing a crimson gold silk regular clothes, Xu had just woken up, only loosely pulled his hair, some hair on both sides hung down, and the slightly childish little face smiled slightly, looking very supple and well-behaved.
"Lan Xue took the girl of Weiyueju to the princess to say goodbye, and the mother was blessed." Lan Xue was originally the head of Weiyueju, the prince was not in the house all the year round, and there was no female master in the house, so Lan Xue was responsible for all the purchases of the house in the house.
Lin Mu'er nodded: "Get up." ”
"Lan Xue should have come early in the morning to ask the princess for peace, but today the princess was going to enter the palace early in the morning, Lan Xue didn't dare to come over to make trouble, so she didn't come to say hello to the princess until now, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." Lan Xue still said respectfully.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Mu'er's face was a little red, Lan Xue came to ask for a good night, I am afraid that it will not be related to her late nap, this girl is clever, she only mentions entering the palace in the morning, not mentioning her own nap, and she can't help but think a little higher about this Lan Xue's girl at the moment. Looking at the two or three girls behind Lan Xue, Lin Mu'er frowned slightly and asked, "There are only these two girls in Weiyueju?" ”
Lan Xue nodded: "Yes, the prince didn't often stay in the capital before, so Weiyueju is only a few cleaning girls." This is plum fragrance, ingenuity and spirit red. Lan Xue reported them one by one. Hearing Lan Xue mention the prince, the girls looked a little strange, but Lan Xue's face was as usual, as if she didn't feel that she had mentioned anything that shouldn't be mentioned.
"yes, got it." Lin Mu'er nodded, "My girls are young and uncertain, and there is an old man like Mother Xie by my side, the palace is not as good as in the Hou Mansion, and you will need Lan Xue to mention them more in the future." ”
"Don't worry, although the girls are young, they are very clever and understand the proportions, and they learn the rules of the palace very quickly." Lan Xue didn't dare to hold it up, and said modestly.
Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue, she had a good impression of this girl for no reason, maybe she was trained by the palace, she advanced and retreated properly, and she was very measured, and said at the moment: "In the future, you will serve in the room, if there is anything, discuss it with Mother Xie." ”
"Yes, thank you, Princess." Lan Xue still looked as usual, and thanked her steadily. It is said that the female owner has just entered the door, and it is normal to continue to use the girl who used to serve the male master. It's just that this King Jin is gone, and the princess of Jin is always a little embarrassed in front of her with her previous girl, no need, and no one cares. Now, Lin Mu'er still uses the old big girl in the room, saying that she is popular with people, or that she cherishes her talents, Lan Xue did not show a particularly happy look.
Lin Mu'er motioned to Mother Xie on the side, Mother Xie stuffed some reward silver into these girls, and said: "Niangniang rewarded, in the future, Niangniang's errand will be rewarded." ”
A few girls get the silver reward, all of them can't help but be happy, the prince is not in the palace all the year round, except for the monthly silver, there is no other silver to start, although it is very beautiful in the palace in the eyes of outsiders, but still shy in the pocket, there is no money left every month. At this moment, touching the thick bounty silver, busy thanksgiving. Lan Xue is a big girl, in addition to these silver rewards, Lin Mu'er also rewarded a pair of jade bracelets with a good head to show her attention, Lan Xue still thanked her without changing her face.
The girls also smiled and went out to work with the bounty silver.
After some tossing, the sky has darkened, Qingcheng, the girl has already set up dinner, Lin Muer is a little funny, this little girl seems to be very keen on eating, her three meals a day, snacks and supper, are all arranged by this girl, and she will not fall at once. Xu slept too much in the afternoon and ate a red bean paste, and Lin Muer didn't want to eat a little soup after a little soup.
"Miss, but it's not delicious?" Seeing Lin Mu'er eat a little, Qingcheng asked with a frown.
"No, I don't have much appetite." Lin Mu'er said, "These dishes that have not been touched, you can divide them." ”
Hearing Lin Mu'er say this, Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and then he thought for a while: "I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of porridge to eat at night, otherwise you will definitely be hungry." ”
Lin Mu'er didn't object, nodded, and said, "Okay, also, in the future, the kitchen doesn't have to cook so many dishes, just two dishes and one soup." "Looking at the large and small plates on the table, there are at least a dozen plates, and it is too wasteful to eat alone.
"Okay." Qingcheng nodded, although it is beyond reproach that the master can't eat the reward to his subordinates, if it is like this, he will be looked down upon by someone with a heart, and he will be extravagant and extravagant, and it will be troublesome if he does not distinguish between respect and inferiority.
After finishing the meal, Lan Xue and Xie's mother came in, Lan Xue was holding a stack of account books in her hand, and Xie's mother was holding several large keys and account books, looking like the keys to the warehouse.
"Niangniang, this is the account book of the palace in the past few years, as well as some of the prince's field shop account books, Fu Ye let me take it for you to see, and when I see the various stewards tomorrow, I have a good idea." Lan Xue put the ledger in front of Lin Mu'er.
"Miss, this is the key and account book of the palace treasury, and the prince's rewards and collections are in it, you can see it." Mother Xie also put down the things in her hand.
Lin Mu'er glanced at these ledgers and nodded: "Let's look at it later." After a pause, he asked, "Who was in charge of the storehouse in the first place?" ”
Lan Xue blessed her body: "It's the slave who is in charge." ”
"Hmm." Lin Mu'er glanced at Lan Xue and thought for a while, "The treasury is not in a hurry, in a few days, you and Mother Xie will count the dowry into the treasury together, and then count it together." ”
Lan Xue and Mother Xie nodded yes together.
"Niangniang, the slave has the courage to arrange the girl of Weiyueju, you see if it will work." Lan Xue continued.
"Tell me about it." Lin Mu'er gently sipped a glass of coconut water brought by Qingcheng and said.
"Mother Xie is waiting in the house, needless to say, in addition, the mother brought eight wedding girls, Wei Yueju originally had four girls, a total of twelve, in addition to the slave maid and green orange, red apricot in the house to serve, there are nine girls left, Wei Yueju's Linghong is old, this year will be sent out to marry, the slave maid arranged for her to do some chores in the outer yard, and it will not be in the way when the time comes, your dowry girl, Zilan and Green Calyx are younger, I'm afraid it's not too much, the slave thinks about whether to arrange it to the sewing room first, When the age comes up, and then come to Weiyueju, there are six girls left, how do you think it will be arranged? Lan Xue said methodically.
Lin Mu'er took a sip of coconut water, frowned and asked, "Is it a bit much?" ”
Mother Xie smiled and said, "Not much, not much, according to the princess's rank, there are still two people left to serve." ”
Lin Mu'er thought for a moment and nodded, "Then do as you say." ”
"Yes."
The sky was completely dark, Hong Xing came over with a lamp, the candle flame was dim, Lan Xue saw it, took the lamp and said, "Let's go and light two more lights." The mother reads the account book at night and looks carefully. ”
Hongxing nodded, and just turned around, Lin Mu'er stopped her: "No need." He turned to Xie's mother and said, "Mom, go and bring the glass lamp." ”
"Okay." Mother Xie nodded, and took out the lamp locked in the cage with her hands and feet.
"Hmm, it's beautiful!" Qingcheng exclaimed in a low voice, the dim candle flame was reflected on the glass lamp, the surface of the glass lamp flickered, the fluorescent flash, and he felt a lot brighter without lighting a candle inside.
Lin Mu'er was also a little surprised, she never thought that this lamp was so magical, let alone Qingcheng Hongxing and Mother Xie, with a look of surprise, even Lan Xue, who had always looked inconspicuous, had a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Hongxing took a candle and lit it inside, and at this moment, the whole glass lamp seemed to come to life, shining brightly, shining brightly, and illuminating the whole room.
"It's beautiful!" The green oranges on the side were almost stunned.
"Alright, alright." Mother Xie reacted first, pushed the daze green orange and red apricot, and said with a smile: "Look at it slowly in the future, hurry up and wait for the young lady to read the account book first." ”
Hongxing nodded and said, "It's really beautiful, Miss, will we order this at night in the future?" ”
Lin Mu'er looked at the red apricot and green orange with an expectant face, and said, "Okay, this is bright, and it makes people feel comfortable when they look at it." ”
"Well, that's what Miss said." Seeing that Lin Mu'er agreed, Qingcheng hurriedly agreed.
"You guys go down first, Lan Xue stays to help me read the account book." Lin Mu'er commanded.
"Yes."
