Wang Xi nodded indifferently.

If it doesn't fit, change people.

However, this is a matter of the Marquis of Yongcheng, and it has nothing to do with her.

She couldn't take care of it.

She only cares about her own business.

So she found herself two mothers-in-law who are good at Sichuan cuisine.

But she received Mrs. Hou's kindness, and she asked Bai Zhi, the eldest girl in charge of the clothes and jewelry in the house, to take a pair of gold and jade bracelets and give Mrs. Hou a return gift, and a pair of silver bills were given to Mama Pan.

Mama Pan completed the task, won the reward again, thanked and thanked, and happily sent out the door by Mama Wang.

Wang Xi asked the little maid to keep the two anchovies in the vat under the grape trellis in front of her house.

The little maid who was in charge of flowers, grasses, fish and insects in her yard had never raised anchovies, and she was afraid that the two anchovies would harm the goldfish that were originally kept in the big tank, so she called other little maids to help, and first fished out the goldfish in the tank and changed the tank to raise them, and put the two anchovies in.

Wang Xi changed into a small jacket with narrow sleeves and a red clean face and Hangzhou silk, and took a green bamboo to coax two fish to play.

The two anchovies were so fierce that they pecked at the leaves on the bamboo branches.

Wang Xi remembered the man dancing with a sword in the bamboo forest.

I don't know who that person is from the Baoqing Eldest Princess's Mansion? Look at the location, the courtyard should be on the west road of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

But not necessarily.

When she came, her father and her eldest brother had carefully inquired about the affairs of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.

Fuzuo Street, where the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is located, originally lived in three families. The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion in the west, the Zhenguo Mansion in the east, and the middle is the Mansion of Liu Ziyong, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and the Eastern Pavilion University. In the twenty-seventh year of Yongkang, after Liu Ziyong was involved in the imperial examination fraud case and his house was raided, Liu's mansion was deserted. Until today's Shengshang ascended the throne, the eldest princess of Baoqing was ruled by the saint, and then Jiao made a continuation for Chen Yu, the prince of Zhenguo, and reopened the mansion for the eldest princess of Baoqing, and the Zongren Mansion came forward to buy the Liu Mansion from Liu Ziyong's descendants and changed it to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the left street of the house changed from three to two.

Her father also managed to get a few house styles.

Of course, it can't be so accurate, but the approximate location is known.

Mainly because she was afraid that she would go to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion in confusion and be bullied.

Seeing those shrunken landscapes, she thought it was funny, and asked her father to make his own house as well, so that her two nephews would not get lost in the future.

Her father was so angry with her that he nodded at her forehead with a distressed look and said, "How can there be such a stupid girl as you who makes your own house a style, if it falls into the hands of others, wouldn't you steal anything you want to steal from our house?" What if those thieves saw that you were so valuable and stole you? You're not a girl in our family? Aren't you afraid? ”

She laughed.

Her father thought she was a three-year-old child.

Of course she knew the importance of those house styles, otherwise those maps would not be so precious.

It's just that I want to know how big the house I have lived in for more than ten years is.

After so many years, she just didn't figure out why she was standing in the main courtyard of their house, and her father's Guanshan Residence became the east, and she stood in the back garden of Tingtaoxuan, and the Guanshan Residence became in the south.

She still remembered that she wrinkled her nose and pouted to refute her father: "Then you dare to send someone to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, the Changgong Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion to step on it?" How dangerous it is! If our family is known, the most they can do is steal something, and if someone like them is known, there will be assassins! ”

Her father was so angry that he covered his chest: "Who secretly took you out to the teahouse to listen to those storytellers talking nonsense?" In the peaceful and prosperous times, Heqing Haiyan, where did the assassins come from? Can you read less of those picture book words? ”

Wang Xi didn't tell her father.

As long as it involves her, her father sees everyone as a liar and a villain.

Fortunately, her eldest brother had something to find her father that day, bluffed her father away, and quietly told her: "You come to my house at night, and I will show you the style of our house." ”

She was overjoyed and sent a plate of shredded Dengying beef that she claimed to have made herself, and went over to make snacks for her eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi couldn't help laughing, and called Baizhu, who specializes in accompanying her to read: "Let's go to the study." ”

Qingxue Garden is a yard covering an area of less than five acres, planted with a lot of flowers and trees, and there are only two into five rooms and more than a dozen side rooms that can live in a serious house. Mrs. Tai saw that she only brought a dozen people, and a few male servants to be arranged to live in the outer courtyard, and felt that Qingxue Garden was enough.

Wang Xi felt that it was too small, and said to Mrs. Tai euphemistically a few days after moving in, built two small kitchens in the corner of the courtyard, dug a well, and changed a flower hall in the garden behind the main house into a study.

In this way, the big maids of Baizhu are still crowded in one room, and the few little maids who serve them are crowded in one room.

If it weren't for Mama Wang's persuasion, "It's not easy to live in the capital." Otherwise, this huge capital, how could the eldest princess of Baoqing open a mansion, she could only squeeze between the Zhenguo Mansion and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion", she had already tossed and added a layer to the back cover room.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi sighed, feeling that the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was not easy, unlike the Wang family, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and every street belonged to their family, and her nine-year-old second nephew would get lost if no one took him.

As soon as Wang Xi and Baizhu entered the study, they asked Baizhu to find out the patterns of the three houses.

Baizhu smiled and went.

Wang Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Her father wouldn't let her bring out the style of the three houses, so she asked Baizhu to follow the pattern and hide it in the purple purlin shelf of her white jade chessboard.

Baizhu quickly brought the pattern over.

Wang Xi spread out the three patterns on the large bookcase.

The Marquis of Yongcheng and the Duke of Zhenguo are both founding meritorious deeds, and the two mansions are also built according to the system, square and square, and there is nothing to look forward to. The eldest princess's mansion is short in the south and long in the north, in the shape of a knife coin, and the main courtyard extends to the back garden of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, but the back garden is located in the two alleys behind the Yongcheng Hou Mansion and covers an area of several acres.

In such a comparison, Wang Xi found that the courtyard of the sword dance should be next to the willow shade garden in the northeast corner of the back garden of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, which is the innermost courtyard of the eldest princess's mansion, and behind the courtyard is the back garden of the eldest princess's mansion.

In the Eldest Princess's Mansion, it belongs to a relatively remote courtyard.

Wang Xi cupped his cheeks in contemplation.

Her eldest brother said that the eldest princess had no children when she first got married, and after marrying Chen Yu, the prince of Zhenguo, she only gave birth to a son, named Chen Luo.

This Chen Luo is very favored by the emperor's uncle, and at the age of twelve, he entered the emperor's personal guard Long Xiangwei to do a job, a military attache of the fourth grade, and was also given the imperial front to walk, able to bring a sword face saint.

A heavenly lady like him shouldn't live in such a remote place.

If he lived in the eldest princess's mansion, he would definitely live in the eldest princess's main courtyard.

Chen Ying, the eldest son of Zhenguo Gong, is even more impossible.

Let's not say that the eldest princess is her stepmother and has a royal status, let's just say that there is a difference between men and women, and it is impossible for Chen Ying to live in the eldest princess's mansion. What's more, although the Zhenguo Mansion is also on Fuzuo Street, it is twice as large as the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and the mansion is divided into east, west, and middle roads, and there is a garden that encloses the east and back of the Zhenguo Mansion. The Yongcheng Hou Mansion is the same as the Eldest Princess's Mansion, only divided into east and west roads, and the garden is in the back. The daughter in front of the prince of Zhenguo has already left the cabinet, and the brothers have already separated themselves when the grandfather of the old country died, such a big mansion, where is Chen Ying uncomfortable to live in, and she wants to squeeze to the mansion of the eldest princess?

Since they are not the two sons of the Chen family, who are those people?

A relative of the eldest princess?

The thought flashed, and Wang Xi laughed out loud.

The nephew of the princess is either a prince or a vassal king. The prince is not allowed to leave the palace, and the vassal king cannot enter the capital. It is impossible to live in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Bai Zhu saw it and said, "What's wrong with you?" So happy! ”

"No, no." Wang Xi shook her hand again and again, afraid that Baizhu would laugh at her.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Wang Xi motioned for Baizhu to put away the drawings, then raised his voice a little and said, "Come in."

It was Mama Wang and the two cooks who entered the house a few days ago.

Mama Wang smiled and said, "How are the two anchovy eludins going to eat?" ”

Wang Xi thought for a while and said, "What's going on over there with Mrs. Tai?" ”

The real relationship between her and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was told to her by her father before she came, and said: "You don't care about the grievances of the elders, you can't manage them if you want to." I'm telling you this so that you don't have to be afraid after you go, our Wang family doesn't owe anything to their family, and you don't have anything less than those young ladies and sons in their house. If they treat you well and find it interesting for you, even if it is to comfort your mother, to do your filial piety on your mother's behalf, and to stay with your grandmother for a few more days. If you don't feel comfortable living in the capital, or if they say something unpleasant under the pretense that they are a family of meritorious deeds for generations, you can move out and stay in the capital until your mother thinks you should almost come back, and come back. My girl is not angry with anyone! ”

She was helpless.

Although no one in the family mentioned her mother's background, she and her second brother knew about it from a very young age.

She felt that if her mother hadn't had those previous experiences, she would definitely not marry her father, and if her mother hadn't married her father, she would definitely not have her.

Thinking about it this way, it's good that her mother can marry her father.

As for those people in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, she had never seen them, and they would not move around like relatives, she had neither love nor hate.

What she didn't expect was that when she really saw Mrs. Tai, she saw her mother's shadow from Mrs. Tai's old face, and when Mrs. Tai hugged her and cried bitterly, she suddenly felt that maybe no one was happy back then, and her grandmother was not as cold and ruthless as they thought, she suddenly felt the blood bond between the two, and she could no longer treat her as a name or title. Especially when Mrs. Tai took her to the temple to make a vow, incense was offered in the Taoist temple, and she chattered that she still wanted to marry someone who could be controlled by herself, and she must not be like her, because she was married high back then, and there were not many dowries in the family, and she was neglected by her husband after marriage, and she couldn't even be the master of the marriage and life and death of her children, she didn't even have the interest in asking about the affairs of the year.
