Chapter 292: Placement
Because Zhenguo Gong was too old to bear the new funeral of his eldest son, and the wife of Zhenguo Gongshi was also bedridden, all matters of the funeral of Zhenguo Gong Shizi had to rely on Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord and his wife to handle it.
White lanterns were hung outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the subordinates who were sent out to report the news were also sent out. Today's hour is getting late, and I think someone will come to pay their respects tomorrow morning.
Because Dr. Shi had made a diagnosis earlier, Mrs. Zhenguo had ordered someone to prepare the longevity materials and longevity clothes, Duan Chengwen and several other concubines changed the longevity clothes for the prince of Zhenguo, and the heirs of the prince of Zhenguo changed their filial piety clothes and knelt in front of the hall to keep a vigil.
Sister Meng'er, Sister Yan and several other concubine sisters, as daughters, stayed in the small hall next to the main hall to observe filial piety.
The house is busy but also orderly, when Duan Chengwen is busy, Duan Shaolan has to follow behind him to help.
"Princess, there's nothing going on here in the evening." After the county lord Duansu was busy for half a day, he remembered that Xiao Xuan was still accompanying Brother Bin and Sister Chu in his courtyard. "Brother Lan, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the princess's mansion today, and Brother Min is so young, the princess might as well go back to the house to rest first, and come back tomorrow."
"Mother, don't worry about us, don't your father and mother take care of Brother Bin'er when they're busy?" Xiao Xuan saw that the county lord of Duansu was coming, and said with a smile. "Brother Min has a nurse and someone I can rest assured by my side, my mother doesn't have to worry about me, I will settle Brother Bin and Sister Chu for my mother and go back after falling asleep."
Brother Bin is also young in the end, he was indeed frightened by the sudden hectic chaos in the mansion before, and the nurses and maids around him really couldn't coax him, so he sent someone to invite the county lord of Duansu back. But at that time, the Duansu County Lord was too busy to get out of his hands, so Xiao Xuan took Sister Chu back to take care of Brother Bin.
"I'm glad you can help me." Seeing that Brother Bin, who had changed into filial piety clothes in the room, was leaning against Sister Chu and talking, the busy Duansu County Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Otherwise, I really can't take care of their two siblings now."
"That's what I should have done." As she spoke, Xiao Xuan gestured to the maid outside, and the maid came in with a food box, and when she opened it, it was dinner for one person. "The prince of Zhenguo passed away in the evening, and his father and mother were busy with things in their hands, so they didn't eat dinner. After I came back, I arranged for someone to prepare, my father and Shaolan's I asked people to send it to the front, and my mother used it here first and then went to the front to be busy. ”
Xiao Xuan carefully wrote down the preferences of Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord on weekdays, and the food prepared was in line with the tastes of the two. Lord Duansu couldn't feel hungry when she was busy, and now the hot and fragrant food was placed in front of her eyes, and she suddenly felt a commotion in her belly.
Xiao Xuan stepped forward to help the Duansu County Lord sit down, and personally took the chopsticks from the maid and sent them to the Duansu County Lord.
"I didn't know when my mother would be back, but the food had already been warmed up." Xiao Xuan urged the county lord of Duansu to eat. "No matter how hot it is, I'm afraid it won't taste good, so mother, use it quickly."
The county lord of Duansu could not refuse Xiao Xuan's kindness, so he had to obediently finish the meal, and Xiao Xuan brought a bowl of light Poria chicken soup and put it in front of her.
"Mrs. Shizi should not be able to get up to take care of it these days." Xiao Xuan said intimately. "Mother has a lot of busyness, and she needs to take care of herself. Knowing that my mother likes light tastes, this bowl of Poria chicken soup is something that my mother should like. ”
waited until the county lord of Duansu left, and accompanied Sister Chu to sleep after Brother Bin'er.
"Sister-in-law, go back to the house." Sister Chu took Xiao Xuan's hand and said obediently. "Brother Min must still be waiting for my sister-in-law in the house, I'll go back to sleep, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to pay attention to me."
"Well, I'll be relieved when Brother Bin'er sleeps. You too, hurry back to the house and wash up later. "Brother Min is a little old, Xiao Xuan said that it is true that he is completely assured that the nurse and Suihong will take care of him, but he will not be careless in his heart." I'll come early tomorrow morning, and I'll come back to see you and Brother Bin. ”
"Okay, I got it." Sister Chu took the maids around her and sent Xiao Xuan to the gate of the courtyard.
"Okay, you don't have to send me." Xiao Xuan turned her head and instructed the maid who was accompanying Sister Chu. "The house must be busy these days, so take care of your young lady."
"Yes, the slaves and maids have written it down."
Xiao Xuan returned to the princess's mansion, Brother Min didn't see his father and mother for half a day, and when the nurse wanted to put him to sleep at night, Brother Min made a fuss, unwilling to lie down in his cradle.
Xiao Xuan hadn't walked back to the main courtyard yet, and he could hear Brother Min'er's crying from a long distance.
"The princess is back." Brother Min didn't allow the nurse to hold him, Suihong hugged him in Xiao Xuan's room and stopped his crying in front of him, Suihong just turned around and saw Xiao Xuan who happened to walk in front of the door, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, I'm back." Brother Min saw Xiao Xuan at a glance, and immediately waved his little hand at her, reaching out to hug her, Xiao Xuan thought of the cold air he had just come back from outside, and hurriedly avoided it. "You hold him for a while, I'll go and change my clothes before I hug him."
"Yes." Brother Min finally waited for his mother back, but he didn't get a response when he hugged enthusiastically, his little mouth was aggrieved, and Sui Hong hurriedly coaxed him before letting Xiao Xuan get out and change his clothes.
Xiao Xuan quickly changed into a set of clean bedclothes and came out, and then hugged Brother Min into his arms.
Brother Min warmly hugged Xiao Xuan's neck, pouted and kissed Xiao Xuan's face several times, so that half of Xiao Xuan's face was full of saliva.
It was easy to coax Brother Min to feed him again, and Brother Min, who was full of food and drink, was coaxed by Xiao Xuan in his arms, and his little eyes couldn't open after a while. After a while, Brother Min fell asleep.
Seeing this, Suihong went out to call the nurse in and picked up Brother Min.
"Princess, wipe your face first." After Brother Min was picked up, Suihong brought a basin of hot water and twisted the veil. "The princess took the news from the Zhenguo Mansion and walked in a hurry, is there something big happening in the Zhenguo Mansion?"
Xiao Xuan took the handkerchief and wiped his entire face aside, feeling much refreshed.
"The prince of Zhenguo passed away in the evening." After throwing the dirty handkerchief into the basin, Xiao Xuan thought about it and hurriedly ordered Suihong. "I have to go to the Zhenguo Mansion early tomorrow morning, and I need to bring some things for me tonight. In the past few days, I'm afraid I'll have to be at the Zhenguo Mansion. It's a white thing over there, Brother Min'er, I won't take him over, you can worry more about me and the horse in our house, so I can take care of it. ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Sui Hong listened carefully to Xiao Xuan's instructions. "When I go back, the slave and maid will go down to prepare things, and they will be sent by car tomorrow."
"Hmm." The mandarin orange is still in Yue Ying's yard.
The green forest followed her outside, although Huang Yu and Yuezi were also the people she was relieved of, but they were still younger, and Suihong was the most worthy of trust.
"In the future, Huang Yu and Yuezi, when you have time, you will bring more of them." Xiao Xuan pulled out the hairpin and dismantled the bun by herself. "When you bring the two of them out, you can relax."
"The imperial concubine asked the slave maid to follow the princess out of the palace, which is to let the slave maid try her best to take care of the princess." Sui Hong stepped forward and took a comb and combed Xiao Xuan's long hair. "But Yuezi and Huang Yu are both from the palace, they are people that the princess can rest assured, and the slave will try her best to teach them."
"Mother concubine, she asked you to come out of the palace to my mansion, not just for you to take care of me." Xiao Xuan looked at Suihong behind him through the mirror in front of him and said. "Mother understands you and doesn't want you to be alone all the time. I still hope that I can help you find a good family and send you to get married. ”
When Suihong accompanied Xiao Xuan to get married, Emperor Liu's concubine asked for Suihong's five-grade female official position. Although her body has supplemented her bottomless pit family over the years, Concubine Liu still prepared a dowry for her.
If she can find a family that suits her, Suihong has a rich dowry and a five-grade female official position, so she doesn't have to worry about the future.
"The slave knows that the imperial concubine and the princess are all thinking about me." Suihong is no longer a girl with cardamom, and she doesn't care about marriage at all. "But the slave doesn't want to marry, so if she stays in the princess's mansion like this, won't the princess treat the slave and the maid badly?"
"You say that all the time." Xiao Xuan knew that she was stubborn, so she didn't persuade her much.
Xiao Xuan only secretly wrote down in his heart that when the many things at hand in front of him were over, he must concentrate and choose a good family for Suihong.
Early the next morning, Xiao Xuan was worried about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, and got up early, washed and tidied up.
Because of the funeral of the Zhenguo Mansion, although Xiao Xuan did not have to wear linen and filial piety for the prince of Zhenguo, he still wore a plain white shirt, and did not bring any additional jewelry after the bun was coiled.
When Xiao Xuan arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, there was a maid in the second room waiting for her at the door of the mansion.
"The slave has seen the princess." The maid walked briskly. "The lord of the county has sent a slave to wait for the princess here."
"Well, let's go." Lu Lin took a few of his maids and took down the things that he had brought with the car.
Xiao Xuan entered the main hall of the second room, Duan Shaolan and Duan Chengwen were no longer there, and the county lord Duansu was sitting on the edge of the table and personally holding a bowl to feed Brother Bin'er for breakfast.
"Princess, are you here so early?" I didn't expect the maid I sent out to wait to welcome Xiao Xuan back so quickly, and the Duansu County Lord said with some surprise. "Have you had breakfast?"
