After Yu Xi entered the house, he was placed by the housekeeper in a small courtyard called Mingdeju in the palace minister's mansion, and arranged for a little maid and a cook to come over in the afternoon. That night, he asked someone to carry more than a dozen large boxes of golden silk nanmu and placed them in the courtyard.

Yu Xi opened, full of gold and silver jewelry, clothes and brocade and ingots and silver tickets. She couldn't help but laugh, what is this? Does Gong Xun compensate her? Did he think she came from Monan, thousands of miles away, to live a rich life?

"Uncle housekeeper, please tell my father that I have always been short of food and clothing, so take these back." Yu Xi was extremely well educated by Zhu Yan, and she knew etiquette and measured, and she was not inferior to other pampered ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The old housekeeper has been following Gong Xun for almost 30 years, and he originally thought that the eldest lady who was left behind had never seen anything good, so he must have seen these two eyes. Now that I see it, this eldest lady is not only on the stage, her words and deeds are generous, but she also has a kind of lofty bearing, and she can't help but look up in her heart.

"The old slave's surname is Han, and when he was young, he was Xiangye's scholar, and the young lady called me Butler Han." The housekeeper saluted Yu Xi and introduced himself.

"Miss, don't shirk. Xiangye said, these are just the first eighteen years to make up, Miss was wandering in the foreign minister when she was a child and did not know, and now she has come to run, naturally regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and everything will protect you. ”

said that he didn't know if the existence of this daughter was fake, but over the years, Zhu Yan didn't let Gong find his daughter, and he was very cold to him, so he slowly died.

Yu Xi's heart was turbulent, but his face was silent. "In that case, there is Lao Hanbo."

Seeing off Steward Han, Yu Xi rewarded Zijuan and his four new servants. She is a newcomer, and in order to gain a firm foothold in Shangjing, she must have her own supporters and cronies, and she must have trustworthy people.

The little maid who is close to her is called Zijuan, like the magpie, she is also fifteen years old, and even her name is surprisingly correct. Zijuan is different from the chirping of the magpie, she doesn't talk much, and she is a child with eyesight. The cooks and nurses are also used to being in the famous family, and they are quite conscious of being subordinates.

Yu Xi stayed in the palace minister's mansion for three days, and Gong Xun did not come during this period, she put some words in the mouths of the subordinates, and probably knew some things about the palace family.

Gong Xun is nearly half a hundred years old, and his original wife died of illness before going to Beijing to be an official. Gong Xun has two sons with the original match, the eldest son is named Gong Chengyun, twenty-five years old, and is a protector general who has made great achievements. Because he is taking troops outside, he can only go home once a year to save his relatives; The second son is three years older than Yu Xi, named Gong Chengze, who is still studying and has no official position. They were all picked up by Gong Xun after settling down in Shangjing.

The current head of the palace family is surnamed Feng, the cousin of the former emperor, and is named the lord of Bangning. Tonggong Xun has a daughter and a son, the daughter is called Gong Feiran, sixteen years old, and her birthday is two months younger than Yu Xi. The son is still young, less than three years old. In addition, Gong Xun has two other concubine rooms, the second lady's maiden family has the largest silk village in the capital, and the third lady's father is a local official below. The second lady has no children, and the third lady has a daughter, named Gong Xiyue, who is also sixteen years old, a little younger than Gong Feiran.

No wonder my mother never mentioned my father for so many years. 's father even has such a concubine's background, and my mother is a tavern in the market, and she is arrogant and arrogant, so she naturally doesn't want to cling. Yu Xi thought.

Over there, after Yu Xi lived in Mingde, his subordinates reported it to Lord Fengjun.

"It's just a slut born a bastard, you come to tell me what to do, you want me to go to Mingdeju to ask her for peace!" Lord Feng sneered and quenched at the subordinates who reported it.

The subordinate crouched on the ground and did not dare to speak, and said in his heart, obviously you asked me to report the movement over there.

Lord Feng knew that it would be a family recognition banquet three days later, and he also expected that Gong Xun would discuss with him, but after waiting for two days, he didn't see Gong Xun mention it for a long time, and finally couldn't sit still.

"Cui Nu, tell the master, and say that I will take the young lady to Shuanglong Mountain tomorrow to incense, and stay for a while to avoid the Department and then come back." Fengjun ordered the maid to say.

Not long after the maid went, Gong Xun came over. Although they are husband and wife, they do not live together on weekdays.

As soon as Gong Xun came, he said that it would be autumn in a few days, and the heat had long since disappeared. There have been a lot of affairs in the house recently, and the lady will delay a few days to burn incense, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva will not blame.

The implication is naturally not to let her go.

It was a pretense to burn incense, and the lord of Fengjun saw that Gong Xun was not allowed to go, and he took up his posture more and more.

"I'm also old, and I didn't feel like it was so hot a while ago. This time, the heat is about to subside, but I am upset every day, and I can't live in peace. ”

Feng Jun said, stretching out his hand to support his forehead.

"The lord doesn't have a daughter back to the house, the affairs in the house are heavy, but with the palace lady here, it must be handled in an orderly manner."

The more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, and the implication was nothing more than that Gong Xun didn't take her as a lady in his eyes, so he recognized Yu Xi. Gong Xun officialdom has been mixed for decades, how can she not see through her thoughts.

"Madame is serious, Xi'er has just arrived, where can I govern the Prime Minister's Mansion. If Madame insists on going, I will arrange carriages and horses for you in a moment. The house was in chaos for ten days and a half months, and as long as no one died, it was nothing. ”

Gong Xun already had anger in his tone, so he just pulled his legs and left.

When Lord Feng heard this, his face was a little unbearable.

only rushed over and hugged Gong Xun's waist from behind.

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that the master, I am also a relative of the emperor, and I asked the master to save face for me in the Feng family."

Yu Xi's identity is special, she just recognized it like this, and she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

"What do you mean?"

Gong asked.

"Please tell the world that Yu Xi is the lord's righteous daughter. In this way, she can be raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will not interfere with the master's love for her. ”

Lord Feng finally said his intention to make such a fuss.

"Qinglian, it's useless." Gong Xun turned around and surrounded Lord Feng as if comfortingly, but his tone was extremely firm.

"When you see the child, you will know that she looks exactly like her mother, and has the same temperament. The Empress Dowager, the Regent and the Emperor will all know that she is the man's child. ”

Lord Feng's eyes shrank suddenly, and he was finally speechless.
