Text Chapter 213: Principal
In fact, for Yi'er, there is no habit of choosing a place, not to mention that the people who are waiting in her house are all people who are used to using it on weekdays, and she herself is not a particularly picky personality, from the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion to Jiang You's small courtyard, and then moved from the small courtyard to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, for her, it is nothing more than a change of place and a change of bed, how can she be hypocritical to the point of not being able to sleep?
But the eldest princess even thought of this, and took the trouble to instruct the girls who served by her side, Yi'er's heart was full of emotion, and she couldn't add more.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yi'er got up early and led Wu'er to Doulan Courtyard in a frightening manner, as soon as the eldest princess of Yunping got up, she couldn't help but complain about why Yi'er didn't sleep for a while, Yi'er just smiled, and after serving the eldest princess to wash, she accompanied her to breakfast.
The eldest princess of Yunping looked at Yi'er who was busy in and out, smiling and smiling, and was happy in her heart, and saw that Yi'er still had no intention of leaving after breakfast, so she frowned and picked up someone, and said: "You are young, you should go and make some new things, or invite a few young ladies of the same age who can talk to you to play crazy, how can there be a reason to be by my wife's side all day long?" You remember, in the future, you will come to eat with your grandmother when you have time, and at other times, it's nothing, and you are not allowed to slip in the grandmother's yard! ”
Yi'er didn't want to go, and after lying for a while, the eldest princess Yunping said: "If you really have nothing to do, grandmother has an errand here, so I'll give you a toss." ”
Yi'er said: "Grandmother is so serious, don't be too difficult, grandmother also knows that grandchildren are lazy, and grandchildren are afraid that they can't do things that are too difficult." ”
The eldest princess of Yunping laughed and said, "You clever ghost, I haven't said anything yet, you have found an excuse for yourself to retreat?" ”
Yi'er grinned and said, "Grandson just said that grandson is stupid, just this idea was discovered by grandmother." ”
The eldest princess couldn't stop smiling, nodded at Yi'er's forehead and said, "I look at you as a steady person on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be naughty, this mouth is the same as Xiao You's skin monkey." Okay, okay, just at your well-behaved appearance, grandmother is not willing to give you any problems. ”
Yi'er said: "Grandmother said this, the grandson was relieved, so what errand did the grandmother want to give the grandson?" ”
"Didn't grandmother say that on the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a family banquet in the house, and you will have nothing to do, and grandmother will leave this matter to you to take care of."
Yi'er was stunned for a moment, really speaking, she had held this kind of banquet before, when she was still in Beikaicheng that day, because Li had just conceived Xiao Du Yu, her body was a little unwell, and the chrysanthemum banquet was taken care of by Yi'er, she was only eleven years old at that time, she was young, and it was the first time to preside over such a thing, so she was really busy and a little dizzy, worried for fear that something would go wrong, fortunately, it was a beginning and an end, and it couldn't be said how good it was, but it was really decent.
Of course, the chrysanthemum banquet in Beikaicheng and the princess's mansion now, whether it is the specifications of the pomp or the number of guests invited to the banquet, they must not be compared, but Yi'er has also experienced a few years, and she is no longer the little girl who was still a little timid back then, not to mention, these girls around her have also been grinded out, it is not an exaggeration to say that any of them can now be regarded as talents who can take charge of themselves. So she still has confidence in organizing this family banquet, at least, she is not afraid in her heart.
In fact, the eldest prince of Yunping mainly handed over this matter to her to take care of, and he also wanted Yi'er to experience again, after all, in the old man's family, Yi'er is going to marry into the Ningguo Mansion after all, and be the head of the house mother of this big family.
Yi'er also understood these truths, so after hearing this for the first time, she was stunned, and then she responded.
It's just that the eldest princess said that she would hand over the matter of the family banquet to Yi'er to take care of, she really shook her hands and didn't care about anything, just in the afternoon, someone came to Dongsheng Hou's Mansion, as if something happened in the Hou Mansion, and the eldest princess of Yunping explained to Yi'er, and followed out of the princess's mansion and went back to Dongsheng Hou's mansion.
Now everything is pressed on Yi'er's body, and there is no longer even a backbone of the elders to rely on, Yi'er knows that the eldest princess is afraid that there is a deliberate element in it, but she has not only answered the words in front of the eldest princess, but she has no reason to retreat.
Because it was the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, the matter of this family banquet began to be in full swing, and early the next morning, Yi'er had just finished freshening up, and Qing Li came in with a list and replied to Yi'er.
“…… According to the meaning of the eldest princess, except for a few good old ladies from the family, the rest will not post, and we will receive those who are willing to come, and we will not force those who do not want to come. The slave maid felt that as the eldest princess, there was nothing wrong with doing this, but in this way, how many people could come that day and how many tables to sit on was something that was unclear. ”
Yi'er thought for a while and said, "Since it's not clear how many people entered the house that day, let the procurement office purchase according to thirty tables first, and then set up twenty tables first, in case there is a seat, it is convenient to add a few tables temporarily." ”
The look on Qing Li's face was a little strange, Yi'er's heart moved, and she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Qing Li handed the list in his hand to Yi'er, and said: "This is the purchase list that Mama Leng prepared for the slave maid just now, it is calculated according to twenty tables, all of them are purchased, and it is estimated that it will cost more than two hundred and seventy taels of silver, but the eldest princess only responded to the general account of two hundred taels of silver in advance, this is ......"
Yi'er was a little surprised, and said strangely: "You mean that grandmother only allocated two hundred taels of silver?" ”
Qing Li nodded and said, "Miss just said that she would purchase it according to the share of thirty tables, so the silver is even worse." ”
Yi'er sat down on the soft couch, took the list and looked at it carefully, Wu'er came up with tea, handed it to Yi'er, and said, "Miss, please use tea." ”
Yi'er took it, took a sip, looked at Wu'er, and suddenly said, "Wu'er, did you understand what your sister Qingli said just now?" ”
Wu Er nodded and said, "The slave and maid understand." ”
Yi'er smiled and asked, "Then what do you think we should do about this?" ”
Wu Er was stunned for a moment and muttered, "How to deal with it?" How to deal with it? The slave maid didn't think about it, the slave maid only knew that the young lady should do what she decided. ”
Yi'er said, "Then I don't know what to do now, I want you to give me an idea?" ”
Wu Er thought about it, bit her lip, and said, "The slave maid thinks that the eldest princess and the young lady are grandparents and grandchildren, and they are a family. Her Royal Highness the princess may have made a mistake and confused the number, so the silver has been allocated less, and she is not in the house now, and the slave and maid are thinking about it, and they are thinking about ......it."
"Do you think I should advance this money first, and then hold a family banquet first?"
Wu Er nodded, and was afraid that she had said something wrong, so she looked at Yi'er with some trepidation.
Yi'er smiled, looked at Qing Li again, and said, "Qing Li, what do you think?" ”
Qing Li said: "No matter how much or how little this money is, the slave always feels that it is a little inappropriate for the young lady to pay for this." ”
Yi'er let out an "oh" and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Qing Li frowned, gritted her teeth, and said, "The slave maid thinks that according to the temperament of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, such a thing as confusing the budget number should not happen." Besides, with her old man's favor for Miss, a little silver, a word from Miss, the treasury will also be sent over for Miss, but today this Leng Mama took the list, obviously with the intention of deliberately making things difficult for Miss. ”
"Deliberately making things difficult?"
Qing Li said: "It's the word slave that is not used well, not to make it difficult, but to deliberately give Miss a problem." ”
Yi'er said: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I think so too." My grandmother handed over all the business of the family banquet to me, so it was naturally up to me to do it, so how could I set a budget of 200 taels? She deliberately gave me the question, to see if I could handle it properly? If I really fill this hole and give this money, then how can I solve the problem and dispose of it properly? ”
Wu Er was stunned, knelt on the ground straight, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all slaves and maids who are stupid and talking nonsense, and they almost gave Miss the wrong idea." ”
Yi'er pulled the person up with a smile and said, "You, you have been a solid-eyed person since you were a child, and the reason why I asked you is because I knew that you would say such a thing." Do you remember when you first came over, I told you that I kneel here without being happy, and your sister Yi'er is not so stingy, where will I be angry with you because of this? ”
Wu Er heard Yi'er say this, then she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, Yi'er thought, this girl is afraid that she will be cheaply treated by Jiang Mingyu miserably, and she feels a little like a frightened bird, and now she is with herself, although she is gradually becoming more cheerful, she will still be startled from time to time because of her frowning, thinking about it in the future, it seems that she will have to make less jokes like this with her.
Qing Li said: "Then Miss, how should we deal with this matter?" ”
Yi'er took a breath and said, "That Leng Mama is still waiting outside for your reply?" ”
Qing Li nodded.
Yi'er said: "Then you go and invite her in, I have my own ideas." ”
Qing Li took the order and went out to invite Mama Leng. Yi'er looked at Wu Er and said, "Wu Er, I see that your medicinal porridge is getting better and better, have you ever thought about going out to earn a future with this skill?" ”
"Earn a future?" Wu Er was a little stunned and looked at Yi'er blankly.
Yi'er smiled: "I'll send you to a restaurant, you will be their chef, and you will be responsible for the cooking of medicinal food, do you think it?" ”
Wu Er's whole body was shocked, and his eyes were filled with fear, and he said, "Miss, don't you want the slave to wait, do you want to drive the slave and maid away?" ”
Yi'er said: "Silly girl, who wants to drive you away?" You think about it first, I'll talk to you in detail about this matter later, in short, you remember, if you don't want to go, your sister Yi'er will always have your place here, you know? ”
