Although Xiao Xu didn't remember the past between him and Chu Junlan, outsiders would never know how he got along with Chu Junlan, and what Jingyu helped him recall was only some big events, but just looking at what Chu Junlan had done, Xiao Xu already admired and admired him.

And now, the bits and pieces of life are eroding Xiao Xu's mental defense little by little, and he now understands his former self very well.

It's so easy to love such a woman.

After standing in front of the door for a while, Xiao Xu coughed lightly, outside the door, Mother Han and Ming'er had already seen Xiao Xu come back, but because the prince did not speak, they did not dare to spread the word, so now they saluted and said: "The son." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xu lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Chu Junlan raised his eyes and looked at it, with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "You're back." ”

Facing her gaze, Xiao Xu felt for a moment that Chu Junlan might have known that he was back, his face was slightly confused, and he smiled and bowed his head.

"You're going to play the right cards?"

"Hmm. Princess Zhang and Princess Cai are here today, and they handed over the things to me, I will take a look first, and I will be prepared first. ”

"It's a huge palace, and there are a lot of problems, if you take over, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." Xiao Xu frowned.

"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that I also practice my hands, and I don't like to listen to others in everything, it's better to have power in your own hands. Although the affairs of the palace are not big, they are not small, and if the house is not peaceful, there are many constraints on doing things outside. Chu Junlan said, turning another page of the roster in his hand.

After all, it was all for him, Xiao Xu was moved in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Chu Junlan's long hair. The touch is cool and smooth, and people can't help but feel soft in their hearts.

"I don't have to be on an errand these days, I can help you at home," Seeing Chu Junlan's puzzled look, Xiao Xu added with a smile, "If someone makes trouble for you, I can help you support the scene." ”

Even if it is rumored that Xiao Xu is not the son of the prince, in the end he is also the master of this family, and the servants may make a mistake in front of Chu Junlan, but they dare not be presumptuous to Xiao Xu now.

Chu Junlan sneered when he heard this: "The man's family, do what you should do, there is no thing to mix with women in the inner house, I have the confidence to manage this family well, you have to do a lot of things, not to mention other things I don't know, just I know, the industries that my grandfather handed over to you, which also include Cao Yun and land transportation, are not a good thing, even if you are in the prince's army, these will inevitably have to interfere, do you still have time to take care of these little things?" ”

Xiao Xu didn't worry at all when she encountered something, but was still understanding him, and her heart became softer.

"Okay, I won't interfere in your affairs, but whoever wants to bully you, I won't tolerate it, if they really want to spread wild with you, it depends on whether they have the ability to do it."

Chu Junlan inexplicably felt that Xiao Xu's ruthless words were very interesting, and he didn't want to read the roster and account books, so he got up and took his hand to the side hall, and coaxed him like a child: "Okay, listen to us." ”

Chu Junlan obviously felt Xiao Xu's footsteps pause, thinking that he hadn't recovered his memory yet, he must not be used to her being so intimate, and he was inevitably a little sad in his heart. But thinking about it on the other side, wouldn't she be able to tease him to her heart's content, and appreciate his blushing appearance again?

When I think about it, it seems that amnesia is not so difficult to accept.

At least he didn't push her away even if he forgot about her.

Chu Junlan chatted with Xiao Xu for a long time, and finally flirted with him and went out with a red face, and then smiled and ordered Ziyuan: "Let all the housekeepers and grandmothers in the house come later, I have something to say." ”

Ziyuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that Jingxuan is not spacious enough, and it may not be able to accommodate so many people." ”

Chu Junlan thought for a while and said, "What you said is reasonable, Princess Zhang usually sees them in the front hall, so it's better to see them in the front hall." ”

"Yes." Zi Yuan hurriedly ordered Jing Xuan's people to help go out and spread the word.

There are many people in the family, and the news that the cards are now in the hands of the princess has already spread, and now I heard that I want to reply in the front hall, and the servants immediately rushed to the front hall in twos and threes, and rushed to the front hall with great interest.

The front hall of the palace is very spacious, hidden in the flowers and trees, the sky is light, it is a place where the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant.

Chu Junlan sat upright, Ziyuan, Ziyuan, Ming'er, and Han's mother followed on the left and right, the rhombic windows in the hall were all open, and the wind passed through the hall, and the long hair on Chu Junlan's sideburns and the light gauze shawl hanging on his shoulders swayed slightly with the wind.

The hall was filled with a faint fragrance of tea and elegant flowers, and no one said anything at this moment. Only the maid who stood under the porch and probed her brain did she whisper a few words.

It's not that Chu Junlan is so strict, she even smiles all the time, but these people themselves don't know what's wrong, after entering the door, they only feel that there is a pressure on their faces, so that they don't dare to be presumptuous.

Chu Junlan put down the tea bowl, and the jade bracelet on his wrist made a slight crunch with the table.

"Are you all here?" Chu Junlan leaned to the side leisurely.

At this time, a housekeeper came forward and saluted with a smile on her face: "Back to the princess, everyone has arrived." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and shook his head, and the pearl earrings in his ears shook slightly: "Dare to ask what this grandmother is called?" ”

"The princess of the Hui world, the slave maid Wu family, is the chief housekeeper of the palace, and the slave and maid are responsible for some miscellaneous things in the palace."

"It turned out to be Mama Wu." Chu Junlan smiled, and the first one on the list was this Mama Wu, "I have only entered the door not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the people in the house. Then I asked people to take a roll call, and when they got their names, they came out and we met. ”

"Yes." A room full of servants saluted.

Chu Junlan instructed Ziyuan to take the roster to roll call.

The palace is very large, and there are many servants, and there are nearly thirty chief stewards in the inner house, not to mention those who are now standing outside the hall and are not qualified to enter, only the female servants and servants add up to nearly three hundred, not to mention the small servants and people in the outer court.

Zi Yuan took the roll call, and when he heard the name, he walked forward a few steps forward to salute Chu Junlan, some solemn, some perfunctory, and some contemptuous, just the first time he saw the greeting, Chu Junlan had already seen a lot of things, and looked at everyone's looks in his eyes, and he also had a general understanding of the temperament of these people.

Of course, there are also some celebrities who don't arrive.

"Qu Pozi, Qu Pozi?" Zi Yuan raised his head, and when he saw that no one answered in the field, he knew that no one had come, "Concubine Shizi, this Mrs. Qu is in charge of the big kitchen of the back house." ”

"Hmm." Chu Junlan smiled and didn't say much.

Immediately, a middle-aged servant woman came out to salute: "Back to the princess, Mrs. Qu has a stomach upset and has taken sick leave." ”

Chu Junlan raised his eyes to look at her: "It turned out to be Mother Liu, I know." ”

This Mother Liu and Mrs. Qu are concubines, so they naturally want to help talk.

The sentence "I know" made Liu's mother chuckle in her heart. Mrs. Qu specially did not come today, because Jing Xuan was the first person in the back house to set up a small kitchen without going through the princess, and Mrs. Qu was in charge of the big kitchen in the back house, and she was angry, so she naturally didn't want Chu Junlan to go well.

After the names were all clicked, Chu Junlan said: "Today we have all met each other, I know that you are all old people in the palace, there are many rules that have been summarized by the predecessors, everyone can do things according to the rules for the time being, since the palace trusts your mothers who are in charge, then in the future, you will only take care of your own stall, don't meddle in other people's affairs, if there is any problem, you can find a way to solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, you will come back to me." ”

Chu Junlan stood up, walked between the crowd with a smile, gently patted Mama Wu's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"I don't stay at home every day for twelve hours, I want to have a fixed time for daily reply, just set it at the beginning of the hour, what does Mama Wu think?"

Mama Wu said with a smile: "Back to the world, princess, everything we did in the past was at the beginning of the day. ”

"Yes, I know that there is this rule, but you are all housekeepers, and your abilities are naturally excellent, so I want to leave some time for everyone to meet people and solve problems, and when there is something that cannot be solved, or there are other problems after it is solved, you can come back and forth to me."

Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts, the princess would be lazy, which means that in the future, they will not ask the master for big and small things, and they will want to contribute?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chu Junlan turned to smile and said: "You are all smart people, so you naturally know the benefits of being able to master your own share and show your strengths." ”

Saying this, on the contrary, it made some people who were a little dissatisfied and felt that it would take a lot of effort to receive the same monthly money.

Yes, if the princess delegates power like this, the power in their hands will be greater, and they will be more masters.

None of the people who can do things are stupid, and everyone's voices are a little higher, and they all responded: "Yes." ”

As he was talking, a servant woman outside replied: "Back to the princess, the slave and maid are late, please forgive the princess." ”

Chu Junlan looked up and saw a servant woman about forty years old, with a fat figure, wearing a dark green muslin collar and a strip tightly wrapped around her forehead, walking in with the support of two little girls.

"Slave Qu Clan, please say hello to the princess." Mother Qu knelt down and saluted.

Chu Junlan said with a smile: "I heard that you are sick, and I wanted to send someone to see you after the meeting, why did you rush here at this time?" Mama Qu sit. ”

The little girl brought a pestle to Mother Qu.

When Mother Qu was a little proud in her heart, Chu Junlan had already returned to the first place and sat down, and said, "Everyone sit down." ”

A little girl walked through among the servants, and soon everyone sat down.

Mother Qu's smug smile was a little unbearable: "Back to the princess, the slave and maid couldn't get up, but when I think of such an important thing in the house, the slave and maid will crawl and crawl, if nothing else, if this matter does not return to the princess, all the old sisters here will not be able to live their lives." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "If there is anything wrong with Mother Qu, just say it." ”
