Chapter 287: Returning Home
The prince was angry and beat the two slaves to death with a stick, and it soon reached Zhao Congye's ears. Zhao Cong hooked his thin lips and raised them lightly, naturally knowing why this prince was so angry.
"It's getting more and more interesting!" Zhao Congye put down the movement in his hand and shook his head.
Cong Ye Mansion
After An Linglong and Zhao Congye got married, they returned to the mansion two days later. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to return to the door three days later, An Linglong would be too lazy to move, so she just wanted to live in this palace, and didn't want to come back to meet this concubine. is the same woman, even if she knows the general situation and measures it again, she doesn't want to give her husband to others and let others enjoy it.
An Linglong is not afraid of the side concubine of this mansion, after all, she is the concubine, and she is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, this identity is enough to overwhelm her.
The carriage back to the house is lined up several streets in this capital, and the dowry of this Anfu is ten miles long. The posture of this return to the house attracted many people in the capital to watch.
When I arrived at the door, it was morning, neither early nor late, and the mansion had already had breakfast. The side concubine naturally knew that the concubine was going back to the house today, so she packed up early and waited at the door of this mansion.
When she arrived at the mansion, An Linglong got out of the carriage. The capital at the end of spring was a little hot, although it was a carriage, but An Linglong tossed early in the morning, coming from the capital, and she was already sweating.
"Concubine An Zheng, this mansion has been cleaned up, just waiting for you to come back!" This side concubine, no longer called a sister or sister, stood on this threshold with a smile and changed to a concubine.
An Linglong knew that this concubine was uncomfortable, so she looked at her carefully, and in just half a month, she lost a lot of weight. When the two didn't have this marriage, An Linglong saw her in the Tianjia Yaji in the capital, holding the doll, which was quite rich.
"I don't live in the mansion permanently, the side concubine doesn't have to be so clean!" An Linglong also doesn't want to please anyone, since the other party is so unfamiliar and wants to be thoughtful, then she can only fulfill it, and go back like this.
As soon as the concubine heard this, she knew that after An Linglong, she would follow the four princes and often live in the palace. Thinking about it like this, her heart was sour again: "The husband cherishes the concubine, in the future, even if he rarely returns to the mansion, this is a home after all!" ”
An Linglong and the concubine stood at the door together, looking at the people in this palace, and moved the ten miles of red makeup to this mansion. Although the side concubine's mother's house is a second-grade, she did not prepare ten miles of red makeup for her after all. These ten miles of red makeup are enough to give face. In the future, in this capital, An Linglong will be superior to others by virtue of this matter between women and children.
"The An family deserves to be one of the largest families in my dynasty, and the dowry of the concubine is afraid that it will be a sensation in the capital!" The side concubine smiled, but her cheeks were a little white, and just standing like this, there was a lot of sweat on her forehead.
"The side concubine runs this mansion every day, she's too tired, go and rest for a while!" An Linglong stretched out her hand and pushed her, and when she touched her, she realized that she was cold.
"Concubine Zheng is back, this mansion should be handed over to Concubine Zheng, but thinking that Concubine Zheng has just arrived, she is not familiar with anything in this mansion, and I am afraid that the people from this palace will break the dowry of Concubine Zheng, so it is better for me to keep an eye on it!" After the concubine finished speaking, she fanned her cheeks with her hand, and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with a silk cloth.
"What the side concubine means, it's useless for me to stand here, can't I look at my dowry?" Today's An Linglong is not a gentle and cowardly person, although her cheeks are smiling, but when she hears it, she knows that there is a sharpness in her words.
"Concubine Zheng is right, this concubine's dowry should be stared at by Concubine Zheng herself, and I am also worried about being wrong!" After the side concubine finished speaking, she took her personal slave and maid into the house.
At noon today, Zhao Congye was going back to the mansion for lunch. These big and small things are naturally handled by the side concubine who has been in charge of the mansion before. But when the side concubine saw the dowry for ten miles, her heart felt as uncomfortable as if she had been splashed with sulfuric acid, and she sat on the main seat of the main hall, looking coldly at the eunuchs who came and went.
"At noon today, let the concubine handle the food in this mansion! After all, I am a side concubine, and in the future, there will be a concubine in this mansion, don't ask me about big and small things! Although the side concubine said it casually, the slave and maid on her side knew that she was jealous.
"Although this concubine is very big, but after all, there is no doll, and the side concubine has won the trust of the four princes, who is big and who is small in this mansion in the future, it is not necessarily!" As soon as the slave was relieved, the side concubine's chest rose and fell with a heavy sigh.
"Now, I am the only one left with the advantage of having a son, and I am afraid that in the future, this son will also be hers!" Concubine Fang knew that this An Linglong was by no means a vegetarian, if she was too weak, there would be no place in this mansion in the future. Besides, now she doesn't want to pretend to be virtuous and generous, she can't sleep in the past few days, she just hates and is jealous.
"Women have never been the most important to the four princes, this heir is the most important, the young master is a male baby, not to mention, but also smart and sensible, the four princes will give the side concubine a place when they read this doll!"
Hearing her slave and maid say this, the side concubine didn't care about it, and looked coldly at the eunuchs who came in and out, and the large and small boxes placed in the mansion: "What about these ten miles of red makeup, it's better to use it with a son!" ”
After the side concubine finished speaking, she gave a look to the grandmother not far away, this grandmother saw that it was not early, and it was time to prepare lunch, so she paced to the door of the mansion: "Concubine Zheng, now that you are back, it is better for you to decide the big and small things in this mansion, the four princes will return to the house at noon today, this cook, but they are all waiting for the concubine to speak!" ”
An Linglong naturally knew that this was deliberately given to her by the side concubine, "Then the grandmother went to the stove room and told those cooks that if you can't cook a meal that the four princes are satisfied with today, then I will replace them all!" ”
"This ...... This ......"
"What is this, what is this, the rules of this mansion, don't they know? Could it be that you want me, the concubine, to go to the stove to cook in person? An Linglong saw the cunning on this grandmother's face, and she became angry. It's just that she was instructed by the side concubine, and the mother-in-law of this mansion doesn't know who to listen to.
"What meals have always been cooked in this mansion, they are all arranged by the side concubine, and this cook just needs to do it! This is the first reunion dinner after the four princes and the concubine return home, and ask the concubine to arrange these dishes, and the slave maid will go to the kitchen to inform those cooks! "This grandmother is clearly embarrassing the concubine.
When An Linglong heard this, she just wanted to rectify Zhao Congye, "Okay! Stir-fried wild vegetables, steamed sea bass, hand-peeled sweet fruits, side vegetable tofu soup and a stack of sour, hot and spicy pickles, do you remember? ”
In the past, when An Linglong was a village woman, she ate this kind of dish, she was used to eating, and after finishing speaking, she saw that the beads in this grandmother's eyes were about to fall, she was happy: "What's wrong?" Mama, do you have bad ears? Otherwise, you will go to do miscellaneous work in the future, and the work of passing the word in the front hall will be left to those young slaves and maids! ”
This grandmother knew that this concubine had some origins, and although she had the intention to favor the side concubine, she still didn't dare to say anything: "That's ...... The old slave is going to the kitchen now! ”
When she arrived at the main hall, the side concubine saw her eyebrows tightened, and called over to ask, "From this concubine, I think even if the four princes don't talk about her, the subordinates of this mansion will spread the general situation!" ”
"This ...... This is too out of line, it doesn't look like the concubine's style at all! "This is the first time I've seen such an unruly person in this mansion all these years.
Concubine Fang was very happy, just waiting for An Linglong's reputation to be discredited because of this matter, and in the future, in this mansion, these subordinates will not go over to talk to her.
Zhao Congye returned home early today, because of the events of the day before yesterday, and An Linglong had a grudge, after returning home, knowing that she was placing her own dowry, she gossiped with the side concubine and her own doll.
The side concubine was deliberately considerate and gentle, pulling the doll, creating a harmonious and warm picture, An Linglong went in and out, walking back and forth, tidying up her own, and ignoring the three of them.
It's almost time to eat, but the cooks didn't dare to bring the food up, and the side concubine saw this: "What's going on today, why don't you bring the food quickly, do you want the fourth prince and the little master to be hungry?" ”
"This ...... This...... I hope that the four princes will not die, so that we dare to serve the meal! ”
Zhao Congye hurriedly let go of the doll he was holding in his arms, and his face was serious: "What's wrong?" Isn't there enough food in the stove today? ”
"It's not enough, it's the dishes arranged by Concubine Zheng, we don't eat them on weekdays!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you dare to ruin the reputation of Concubine Zheng like this!" The side concubine obviously knew about this, but now she pretended to be pretentious.
An Linglong also packed up and made all the dowry into a booklet: "Serve it, just while I am eating, I will see if there is anything wrong with this booklet!" ”
"The concubine said that it was served, what are you still doing in a daze?" After the concubine finished speaking, these subordinates dared to go to the stove room and serve the meal.
Sure enough, what was served was: stir-fried wild vegetables, steamed sea bass, hand-peeled sweet fruits, side vegetable tofu soup and a stack of sour, hot and spicy pickles. Seeing that the food was coming, An Linglong hurriedly sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.
Concubine Fang and Zhao Cong pulled the doll and sat down, and Zhao Cong's face turned green when she saw this meal: "Concubine Fang, this is the meal you arranged?" ”
"The four princes have been wronged, now that there is a concubine in this mansion, how can I still have my concubine in charge, this meal is naturally arranged by the concubine!" Seeing that the fourth prince was angry, the side concubine hurriedly got up from the chair, knelt on the ground, looked aggrieved, stared at him and said.
