Chapter 291: Title
Tong Mingyu wanted to go out so easily, when she was still dealing with family affairs, she heard a report from the housekeeper: "King Jing's Mansion has sent a lot of gifts."
Come early in the morning to give gifts...... Tong Mingyu felt sorry for his future son-in-law, and then asked someone to bring things in.
There are six boxes of gifts, more than half of which are clothing, cloud silk brocade, Shu brocade, makeup satin...... There are also tribute satin and many precious yarns.
"Mrs. in-law early, I was ordered by the prince to send things, these boxes of clothing are given to the old lady in the house, the old lady and the Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou and the elders of each room. A few young masters and young grandmothers are here. Jing Wangfu followed by Yin Qianhua's right-hand man, Mama Qian, she explained with a smile on her face, the person in front of her was the mother-in-law of the prince, she must make a good impression on her and help the prince make this trip.
"I'm in trouble, Mama." Tong Mingyu gave Xiying beside him a look, and the latter took out a bulging purse from his cuff and stuffed it to the visitor.
After a few polite and shirks, the grandmother stuffed her purse into her cuffs with a smile, and her impression of the princess's family was better, and her attitude was more cordial.
"The two boxes here are the gadgets given by the prince to the two young ladies, our county lord heard that he is going to send gifts to your house, so he has to help her bring some, and when these two little masters put the things away, they will almost be out of the box!" Mama Qian covered her lips and smiled.
Tong Mingyu hurriedly said: "Our two girls have bothered the palace with food and clothing over the years, and we don't know how to thank them!" β
"From now on, it's a family, if you're polite, you'll see the outside." Seeing Tong Mingyu smiling and silent, Mama Qian knew that what she said was a little too much, so she hurriedly pointed to a small box and said: "This is the clothing prepared by our son, the size is here, the prince said that there is no hurry except for the purse, just let the eldest lady embroider slowly, don't be tired." Mama took out a neat stack of paper and handed it to Tong Mingyu.
"How can there be a reason to let the prince prepare his own clothes, although the things in our house are not as valuable as Jingwangfu, but they are also our minds. I beg you to tell the princess and the prince that I will urge my daughter to do her best to make clothes for the prince. β
The two of them were polite for a while, and Tong Mingyu sent the enthusiastic grandmother away.
The people in his own family are really incomparable with the people in King Jing's mansion, and the words of others are really beautiful and not abrupt, and the ability to observe words and colors is even better. No, I have to go to Mama Ruan to discuss and discuss, from now on to train a few maids, and then find a few stewards, be sure to teach people when their daughters get married, how can I do it if there is no one available after entering the palace.
Tong Mingyu dispelled the idea of going to find her daughter today, and after dealing with the matter at hand, she hurried to the distant building.
Because Mama Ruan is also in her fifties, so most of the time she stays in a distant building, Xiao Yao asked people to help her open up a small garden to raise flowers and herbs.
Mama Ruan, who had just finished serving the flowers and plants and changed into clothes, sat in front of the window and saw Tong Mingyu walking towards the distant building from a distance. After enjoying her leisure time for several years, it's time to get busy, and the little apprentice still marries into the palace after going around and around, and he has to train more available manpower for her.
Xiaofu and Xiaohui are okay in the Xiao family, once they get out of this door, they can't be counted on at all, and they are both old enough to get married, how long can they stay with their apprentices?
Mama Ruan looked at Tong Mingyu, who was getting closer and closer, and guessed the reason why she was looking for herself.
Tong Mingyu first asked Mama Ruan's diet and daily life, and then instructed the maids to serve carefully, and only after a while did she explain her intentions.
The two people who also cared about Xiao Yao soon coincided and found a common topic, Mama Ruan knew that the burden on her shoulders was very heavy, and every choice and decision was closely related to the apprentice's future life.
"Since you trust me so much, I will definitely do my best to do this well."
"If there are good candidates, you might as well prepare a few for Ruyi, this girl will be thirteen years old after the New Year."
"I see." Xiao Yuan is also a child that Mama Ruan watched grow up, although her relationship with her is not as deep as Xiao Yao, but she has long regarded her as her own apprentice in her heart, even if Tong Mingyu doesn't say it, Mama Ruan will help her pay attention.
"In the future, you will stay in the Xiao family!" This is not Tong Mingyu's polite words, she really hopes to give Mama Ruan a retirement to the end. No one can say what the situation of King Jingfu is, and I believe that my daughter is reluctant to let her suffer with Qu.
Mama Ruan smiled and shook her head, although the Xiao family is good, without Xiao Yao, there is no point in staying. It was precisely because he could not predict Xiao Yao's life after marrying into King Jing's Mansion that he had to accompany his apprentice even more. I believe that with his own town, as well as the princess and the county lord to take care of, the apprentice's life should not be too bad.
"Me! In this life, she will follow my apprentice, and I will follow her wherever she marries. β
"Although we have had a lot of contact with King Jing's Mansion over the years, we still don't know enough about their palace. I believe that Ping An is reluctant for you to suffer, so why don't you stay in the Xiao family? β
Mama Ruan shook her head again, Tong Mingyu saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she had to put down this idea for the time being, and the two of them made an appointment to choose the maid together the day after tomorrow and collect the materials of the housekeeper. It is not easy to train qualified personnel in a year, so it is necessary to hurry up and start training within a month.
After the grandmother of King Jing's Mansion over there went back, she praised Tong Mingyu again, and excitedly took out the reward purse to show Yin Qianhua.
"Did you say I want a purse?" Yun Yichen was about to go out, and when he saw the purse in the mother's hand, he couldn't help but ask.
Forget about the name and no point before, now you can always ask the little girl to embroider something for herself! It's good to have a name, and you don't have to envy others or steal ...... in the future Right! There is a righteous and bright road to go, who wants to be a thief!
"Brother, didn't I just embroider a purse for you the day before yesterday?" Yun Ruonan asked in surprise, with a fiancΓ©e, isn't my sister's gift worthless?
"Mother, it's time for Ruonan to find a serious embroidery master, can her husband's clothes, shoes and socks and other items come from the hands of her mother-in-law and maid?"
Belch! This seems to be a real problem, how to solve it!
"I don't want to learn, it will take several days to embroider a purse, and a set of clothes, shoes and socks will ,......come down," Yun Ruonan raised his fingers and counted, and then shouted angrily: "Brother, are you planning to not let me go out for a year?" β
"Shouldn't you learn?" Yun Yichen never cared about these small details before, but after he got his name, he remembered other people's things and realized that it was really good to have a capable little daughter-in-law, who would have clothes made by himself and embroidered purses; When you want to change the taste, someone will cook it yourself; It's also good to read and paint together.
"Learn, when Ping An marries in, I will learn from her every day." If you torture me, I will make you unable to see your daughter-in-law day by day. Yun Ruonan looked at her brother defiantly.
My sister also learned badly with the little girl, and Yun Yichen didn't dare to mention the matter of letting her sister learn to be a girl, so she ran away.
He went out and went straight to the palace, there were too many things to be busy yesterday, so he had to put aside what the imperial uncle almost helped out. Now that I have time, I have to talk about it and ask for some interest.
When the emperor in the imperial study heard King Jing's request to see, the pen in his hand paused, and when he came back to his senses and looked down, he saw that there were two more black ink marks on the fold, and he secretly scolded a "bastard" and asked Chen He to pass it on.
"Yichen, I've seen Uncle Huang." Yun Yichen didn't wait for the emperor to open his mouth after saluting, he stood up, and he also found a chair to sit down, as if he didn't see the emperor looking at him fiercely.
"What are you doing here?"
"What do you say?"
"Ahem, Chen He, do I want to see the ministers later!"
"Yes!" Manager Chen personally offered Yun Yichen a cup of tea, he didn't think that he had echoed the emperor, and this young master would leave.
"Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you outside the palace." The little eunuch came in again to give a pray.
"Ah Chen, you go to the back to drink tea, and you will know who the imperial uncle is in favor of in a while." The emperor guessed that his son should also arrive in the next few days, the prince's mansion is being renovated, and the Xie family brothers and sisters have moved out of the Yuan family and lived in their son's private mansion, doesn't it prove that they have reached some kind of agreement?
The Xie family spared no effort to help the prince, I'm afraid they also have a plan!
"Erchen has seen his father." The crown prince Yun Yiheng walked to the imperial case and knelt down in his robe, he wanted to come over a few days ago to report his relationship with Xie Qingxuan to the emperor, but Xie Zhuoliang persuaded him to speak slowly. After all, not long after the death of the crown princess, if he showed that he was too eager to marry his daughter-in-law, the emperor and ministers would definitely not be happy.
"Something?" The emperor glanced up at his eldest son from the pile of chapters, his son is okay to be the king of Shoucheng, and he has no courage to expand the territory at all, but fortunately, if it is peaceful today, his ability is enough to deal with it. With the support of Brother Wang and Xiao Jiu, he can teach him for a few years, so there should be no problem.
"Erchen...... Erchen wanted to marry Xie Qingxuan, the daughter of the city lord of Xuancheng, as the crown princess. β
"I've figured it out."
"Yes."
"About the Xie family...... What do you think? β
"Back to my father, Xuancheng is not as good as before, and they need the support of the royal family and the Yun clan more in comparison."
The emperor nodded slightly, his son has not been fascinated by beauty, and he can see the essence of the matter, which is good.
"Xie Qingxuan can be the crown princess, but the queen is definitely not."
The prince hesitated slightly, then replied, "Erchen understands. β
"I'm afraid that Xie Zhuoliang also has something to ask for!"
"Indeed, at first he wanted to take away the eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, but now he has changed his mind and wants a group of craftsmen in weaving and winemaking." Yun Yiheng didn't know why Xie Zhuoliang suddenly changed his requirements, but in this way, he was also relieved, he didn't have the idea of the Xiao family, if this person was taken away by Xie Zhuoliang, it would be strange that he could feel comfortable.
"You go and tell Xie Zhuoliang, don't fight the idea of the Xiao family, that's the person who wants to marry into the royal family." The emperor glanced at the screen behind him from the corner of his eye, and said lightly.
Yun Yiheng lowered his head, just to hide the surprised look on his face, it turned out that his father ...... Anyway, I am going to marry Xie Qingxuan, and if I warn Xie Zhuoliang again, this matter will be over.
Yun Yichen: Uncle Huang, it is easy for you to misunderstand when you talk like this, do you know?
