Chapter 11: In charge of the palace

Chen Ling nodded with satisfaction, asked Ju'er to send him away, and then got out of bed, he was still a little uncomfortable when he first moved, and then he asked for it.

She walked out into the hallway, and glanced out at the endless houses, neatly arranged, and then looked around, with the golden palace on one side, the towering woods on the other, and the huge Yu Mansion below: "It's time to get started." ”

Chen Ling went down to the attic, walked around every corner of the mansion, and finally came to the lobby: "Where is the housekeeper?" ”

A sixty-year-old man trotted over, a little nervous, and said, "Holy Maiden, the old slave is." ”

Chen Ling put his hands behind his back, and his delicate face was slightly majestic: "Gather the servants of the whole house, this holy woman has something to say." ”

"Yes."

Soon, the servants of the whole house lined up, and Yu Minghou and Yu Xin also came over.

Yu Minghou didn't expect her to start making trouble again after she stopped for a while, for fear of getting into trouble again: "Ling'er, what do you want to do?!" ”

Chen Ling blinked: "Of course it's Liwei." Steward, take down the book. Orange, pen, ink, paper, inkstone. ”

"Yes." The two of them walked out of the lobby together and quickly returned.

Chen Ling took the book of subordinates, took the roll call one by one, picked up the brush and said while writing: "Talented and prosperous, when I was 5 years old, I was slapped twenty times in the cabinet, almost disfigured, remembering that he obeyed his stepmother's order, not his own wishes, forgave the capital crime, slapped eighty times each, and rushed out of the house; Rich and noble, when I was 6 years old, I was punched and kicked in the cabinet, and I almost died, thinking that he obeyed his stepmother's order, not his own wishes, and forgave the capital crime, and each beat a hundred boards, and drove out ......of the house."

At the end of the day, most of the subordinates in Yufu were driven out, and the backyard wailed and killed several people.

Chen Ling continued: "Ju'er, the matter of recruiting slaves will be left to you, and if you have trouble, tell me. ”

"Yes." Ju'er went out with two subordinates.

Chen Ling said to the housekeeper again: "Bring the account books of the Yu Mansion." ”

"Yes." Although the housekeeper is old, he can be very neat with his hands and feet, but after a while, he came over with more than a dozen account books, "Please take a look." ”

Chen Ling nodded, picked up the top one, looked at it and asked, "Every month, the palace will send a hundred taels of gold, how much is left?" ”

"There are one hundred and eight taels of gold left, five hundred silver, and thirty copper plates." The housekeeper didn't dare to hide it, "Mrs. Yu has to buy rouge jewelry every month, and there is almost nothing left every month." ”

Chen Ling glanced at Yu Minghou: "Father, in the future, let your daughter take care of this Yu Mansion." ”

Yu Xinxin got up suddenly, his mother had taught him that the matter of Zhongfeng must not fall into others: "Sister, you are a saint, such a trivial matter ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Ling: "If I can't even manage the Yu Mansion well, how can I share the prince's worries?" Father, what do you say? ”

Yu Xin was so anxious that tears rolled into her eyes, and she choked up: "Father......"

"Alright, alright." Yu Minghou frowned, he didn't dare to care about Chen Ling, and he also felt sorry for Yu Xin: "You sisters are going to marry the prince next year, and they are both princes and concubines, so it's better for the two of you to be psychologists first." ”

Chen Lings nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Yu Xin lowered her head aggrievedly. She doesn't know how to take care of her family at all, thinking that Chen Ling has been living in the cabinet, she must not understand it even more, and she has some confidence: "My daughter will live up to her father's expectations!" ”

Ten days later, Chen Ling was in good order. The slaves were in awe of her, and invisibly squeezed Yu Xin. Yu Xin complained to Yu Minghou, but Chen Ling told him back, and he left in a huff.

Chen Ling's life became more and more comfortable, but when he arrived at the door, he still touched the dust.

"Holy woman, don't go down the mountain." The guarded Praetorian Guard said this for the tenth time.

Chen Ling paced and said, "Brother guards, are your martial arts very powerful?" ”

“…… Holy Maiden, please go back. "They were still expressionless.

Chen Ling walked back in disappointment. She is now living comfortably, and she is not in a hurry to escape, but she can't go down the mountain to investigate...... It's a bit of a hassle.

So, she came up with a plan and called Ju'er: "You go and find out if there are any holes in the wall in the mansion." ”

"Vulnerability?" Orange is unknown.

"It's just not strict and the bricks are falling, or it's relatively short and easy to climb." Chen Ling grabbed the orange and said solemnly, "Be careful, don't let people see it." ”

"Yes." In the middle of the night, Ju'er hurriedly came back to report, "Miss, there is really a loophole!" ”

Chen Ling's eyes lit up: "Where is it?" Take me to see it. ”

The master and servant soon came to a corner, where two or three bricks were missing under a weedy wall.

Chen Ling looked around, reached into the cave to investigate, and said with satisfaction: "This place is good." "It's not far from the Holy Maiden Pavilion, it's not easy to be found, the bricks next to the cave are loose, and the outside of the wall hasn't been blocked!

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted: "Ju'er, go and hold it for me, someone will come and notify me immediately." ”

Ju'er was puzzled: "Miss, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Go and watch first, I'll tell you later." Looking at Ju'er's figure leaving, Chen Ling set out to dismantle the wall, dismantling all the bricks that could be removed, and then experimented with it, then put the bricks back in good condition, and pulled Ju'er back to the Holy Maiden's Pavilion.

Chen Ling whispered, "I dug that hole to sneak out." ”

"Sneak out? …… Miss, it's a capital crime to be caught! ”

"No, it won't. If you're smarter, you won't be discovered. Chen Ling said confidently.

She didn't dare to say anything else, but she had a thorough understanding of Ju'er, she was smart and steady, loyal and kind, and she would not be with the Yu family. Leaving Ju'er here to fool the Yu family, she is sure that she will not be discovered.

Ju'er suddenly lost color and said, "Miss......"

Chen Ling looked at her lightly: "Are you afraid?" ”

Seeing that she couldn't be dissuaded, Ju'er looked at her resolutely: "Ju'er will never slack off on what Miss tells her, even if she lets the slave die, she is willing." "If it weren't for this nobleman, the king wouldn't have paid for her, and she was arrested and taken to the Qinglou as a prostitute.

Chen Ling's heart moved slightly: "It's good that you have this awareness." "She is not a person who accepts her fate, and she will suffer if she follows her.

The next day, Chen Ling asked Ju'er to get a set of civilian men's clothes, a box of plaster, disguised as a weak and thin boy, and ran through the hole at dusk and ran vigorously into the mountains.

When she reached the top of the mountain, she looked around, took out a piece of rice paper and the problem of dipping it in ink beforehand, drew it, and immediately packed up her things and went back when night came.

Returning to the Holy Maiden Pavilion, Chen Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that there is a trail in the back mountain. ”

It was a sudden glimpse of her descent from the mountain, hidden by the bushes and difficult to see.

Chen Ling said again: "Ju'er, you go to the top of the mountain tomorrow, continue to draw according to my map, and complete the map." ”

Ju'er took the rice paper, and when she saw it, the direction had been marked, hundreds of black lines were intertwined with each other, and there was a circle in the center, and the word 'cliff' was written in the circle: "But the slave has never drawn a picture." ”
