Chapter 274: Something that betrays the Lord and seeks glory
The results of King Jing and King An's disposition were quickly posted in the various state capitals of the entire Great Zhou, and of course, the people of Kyoto also knew about it for the first time.
Zhan Xinlan, as the former princess Jing, instantly became the focus of attention. In order to avoid the gossip on the street, Zhan Xinlan locked herself in her room all day long and refused to go out.
"Miss, don't you really want to go out for a walk and relax?" Yanxin said softly.
"If you don't go out, if you can't hear the ridicule outside, you should not know it." Zhan Xinlan was busy with the clothes in her hands.
"Then what does the young lady want, go to the street and buy it back." Yixin said softly.
"Go to the street and help me buy some fabric and needlework, and come back, he ...... Now his life in the clan mansion is probably not easy. I'm thinking of making him a few more clothes so he can have a change of clothes. Zhan Xinlan hung her head and continued to be busy with the needlework in her hand.
Mo Shi looked at Zhan Xinlan's appearance, threw the clothes in his hand on the ground and stepped on the ground: "You girl is really, he has no power and no power, why do you still make clothes for him?" ”
"Mother, he is still my husband now, you don't care what I do." Zhan Xinlan picked up the clothes on the ground and gently patted the dust on them.
"You...... You're so mad at me, you ......"
Just when Mo was still making noise, the little guy on the door ran in quickly, "Madam, Madam......"
"What's the name of the ghost?" Mo said in an unhappy mood.
"Ma'am, this ...... It was sent by someone from the clan house. The little guy raised his eyes and glanced at Mo's, and respectfully handed a letter in his hand to Mo's hand.
Mo opened the letter and looked at it carefully, then a smile appeared on his face, "Great, really good." Xinlan, that respectful ...... That Zhao Shancheng found someone to send you a letter of resignation, and with this letter of resignation, you will have nothing to do with him in the future. ”
What the? Leave the book? He actually sent a letter of resignation? "Mother, you give me the letter of resignation." Zhan Xinlan said hurriedly.
Mo smiled and handed the book of resignation to Zhan Xinlan's hand, Zhan Xinlan quickly glanced at it a few times, and then, about to tear up the book of resignation, Mo saw this, and hurriedly took back the book of resignation from Zhan Xinlan's hand, and then exhibited the book of resignation in his hand.
"You girl, how can you tear up this letter of resignation? With this letter of resignation, if the emperor wants to pursue Zhao Shancheng again in the future, our family will be able to get out smoothly. After a few days, just find a suitable person. Mo said with a smile to himself.
Zhan Xinlan looked at Mo's excited look, stood up suddenly, pushed Mo's out of the room, and then closed the door heavily.
Xiaocui hasn't been serving by Zhan Xinlan's side recently, or rather, since Yanxin and Yixin came over, she feels that Zhan Xinlan is closer to them.
Speaking of which, after all, Yanxin and Yixin have followed Zhan Xinlan for many years, and she is just when Zhan Xinlan lived in Rui Wangfu
The handmaidens who were selected at the time.
Since King Jing's accident, it can be said that Xiaocui often regrets what happened at the beginning, if she didn't leave Rui Wang's Mansion with Zhan Xinlan, maybe she would still be able to stay in Rui Wang's Mansion, at least she could give her family a good income.
Zhan Xinlan is no longer a princess, and this moon silver naturally cannot be compared with the palace.
Xiaocui walked around the street with a vegetable basket, after all, she was the only one in the current exhibition house who was an outsider, and the rest were all slaves of the Zhan family.
"Yo, Miss Xiaocui, why did you come out to buy vegetables today?" A familiar vegetable vendor said with a smile.
"They help my young lady at home, and only I can come out." Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"I said, I always deliver the food to my home on weekdays, will I still deliver the food tomorrow as usual?" The vegetable vendor said with a smile.
"Erniu, just send some ordinary vegetables to Chengfang Street." Xiao Cui said lightly.
On weekdays, the dishes sent to King Jing's Mansion are the freshest, and they are all relatively expensive dishes, and if he suddenly has to replace them with ordinary vegetables, then he will have to make a lot less money.
"Miss Xiaocui, I heard you right, this old ......"
Before Erniu finished speaking, the vendor selling pork on the side sneered: "Erniu, it's good that you still have some ordinary vegetables to sell, you know, now King Jing has already become a concubine, and he has been imprisoned, there is no palace in Kyoto, let alone Princess Jing, where do they still have money to eat good things?" Maybe one day even the people in the house will be sold. ”
The words of the pork stall vendor made Xiao Cui's heart chuckle, no, no matter how bad the Zhan family is, at least there are two sons and General Zhan's money, selling slaves and maids, this shouldn't be.
In the end, even if he returned to the border pass, thinking of this, Xiao Cui's heart was even more uncomfortable. She still has a family in Kyoto, and she doesn't want to follow Zhan Xinlan to any border pass.
Just thinking about it, she saw Xiangzhi and Lanzhi walking hand in hand, if she wanted to return to Rui Wang's Mansion, this Xiangzhi and Lanzhi were her hope.
"Sister Xiangzhi, Sister Lanzhi, why did you two go to the street?" Xiao Cui smiled and stepped forward.
"Xiao Cui? Why did you come out to buy groceries too? Xiangzhi glanced at the basket that Xiao Cui was carrying on her arm and said.
"Isn't it that Yanxin and Yixin are both accompanying Miss Xinlan to make clothes, so I went out to buy groceries." Xiao Cui picked the broken hair on her sideburns with one hand.
"Hmph, Yanxin and Yixin accompany Miss Zhan to make clothes, why don't you do it together, how can you do such a rough job as buying vegetables, how can your little sister Cui do it." Laneige pouted.
This Xiao Cui, wasn't she still showing off her might in front of them at the beginning? It's still really miserable to be mixed up like this now.
"Hehe, don't talk about me, let's talk about you, why didn't you accompany the princess, but came out?" Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"The princess has to be busy with business all day long, the princess feels sorry for the princess, let's go to the Yuan Pozi to sell a few light-handed maids to come back and help the princess do some rough work." Xiangzhi said lightly.
Hearing that it was the Rui Wangfu who wanted a slave, Xiaocui was immediately overjoyed, if she could return to the Rui Wangfu and be a maidservant who sprinkled and cleaned, it would be much more promising than following Zhan Xinlan.
When she has saved enough money, redeemed herself, and went home to find a good family to marry, it is also a good choice, not to mention, the maid from the Ruiwang Mansion is better than the maid from an ordinary family.
She knows this very well, when a maidservant girl in King Rui's Mansion redeemed herself and married, King Rui gave her a silver ticket of one hundred taels. said that it was a dowry for her, and promised that if she was angry outside, she would come to the palace of the king and have the prince to call the shots.
"Two sisters, since the palace needs manpower, then I'll go back, the people Yuan Pozi found are not familiar with the rules of the palace, and they have to bother the two sisters to discipline hard, but I am familiar with the rules of the palace, what do you say?" Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"You? Forget it, the Rui Wangfu can't accommodate slaves and maids who betray their masters. Xiangzhi said coldly. Immediately, he took Laneige's hand and walked forward around Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui looked at Xiangzhi and Lanzhi, who were gradually walking away, and then took a sip, "Bah, what is there to be proud of, after all, you two are just slaves." ”
Xiaocui was damaged on the street, and she didn't have the heart to buy anything anymore, so she immediately walked towards Chengfang Street with a basket.
When I returned to the exhibition house, I saw that there were a lot of people standing in the courtyard, and then curiously pulled a maid standing behind, "Hey, is there something going on?" Why is everyone standing here? ”
"Just now, the lord and the lady said that the people who were originally in the palace of the king will be sent to the imperial village outside the city to do things later, and the people who originally served in the mansion should also be streamlined, and the people who were laid off, the lady would give some silver and leave."
Unexpectedly, when she went out to buy vegetables, she really began to reduce the number of people serving, and it seems that this exhibition house is also about to decline.
Just thinking about it, I saw a person dressed as a eunuch, walking in with a team of royal forest soldiers, Zhan Huaran saw this, and then stepped forward and arched his hand towards the eunuch, "Gonggong Pan, you are here to receive people to Huangzhuang." ”
"Yes, Lord Zhan, I don't know about those who are going to be sent, but have you been notified?" Pan Gonggong said with a smile.
Although this Zhan Huaran's official rank is not very high, after all, he is the younger brother of Dingguo Gong, he doesn't want to go up and step on it because of the current estrangement of others, and go back and wait for other brothers to reconcile, isn't he unlucky?
"It's all been notified, they're packing up their clothes, this is the roster of people to be sent away, as well as their identity deeds, father-in-law, please take it." Zhan Huaran smiled and handed a roster and a stack of deeds to Pan's father-in-law's hand.
Father-in-law Pan took the roster and the deed, opened it and looked at it
, "Let them all hurry up, our family has finished their errands, and we have to go back to hand over the decree to the emperor." Father-in-law Pan urged with some impatience.
"Yes, father-in-law, please wait a moment, I will send someone to urge." Zhan Huaran arched his hand.
After a while, a team of maidservants walked out with a burden, and Pan's father-in-law opened the roster, took the roll call one by one, confirmed that there was no omission, and then took people out of the exhibition house.
A car was parked outside the door of the exhibition house, and after these people got into the carriage, a coachman drove the carriage out of the city.
At that time, in the Rui Wang's Mansion, Gu Yunxin was sitting on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard and looking through the account books, the business of the store has been very good in recent days, and even the new tavern is doing very well.
"Princess, the slaves and maids are back, Mrs. Yuan said, I will bring someone over tomorrow to choose for the princess." Xiangzhi said lightly.
Gu Yunxin raised her eyes and glanced at Xiangzhi, seeing that her face was a little unhappy, she immediately smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you so unhappy? Who bullied us Xiangzhi? ”
"Don't dare to bully, princess, just now the slave maid and Lanzhi met Xiaocui on the street, and she licked her face and said that she wanted to come back to serve." Xiangzhi pouted.
"You, is it necessary to be angry with her?"
"The slave maid is not used to her face of selling for glory, at the beginning, she wanted to be a personal maid, so she stuck to Miss Zhan Er, and now she sees that Miss Zhan Er can't give her the scenery, so she wants to come back, where is there such a cheap thing in this world." Xiangzhi pouted.
"It's true that there is no such cheap thing, and in short, I won't want her back." Gu Yunxin expressed his attitude.
At this moment, the little maid outside the door walked in quickly, "Princess, the king of Xiangyang came to our house and said that he was going back to take Miss Biao back, and the little one said that Miss Cousin was not in the house, but the king of Xiangyang let the people in the house block the door, saying that he couldn't see anyone, so he wouldn't leave......"
