Chapter 493: Excess
Duan Yan said more than a dozen things in one breath, Li Xia didn't say a word except for asking a few words, listened attentively, slowly finished sipping a cup of tea, and instructed Duan Yan, "Let's see if General Lu is there, if he is, please invite him to the East Flower Hall." ”
Duan Yan carried a heart and motioned for Qinghua to hurry up and invite.
Lu Yi had just returned to the palace, and hurriedly followed Qinghua into the East Flower Hall.
The East Flower Hall was close to the front yard, and Li Xia had just come in, so he didn't sit down, standing at the door of the Flower Hall, and said with a smile to Lu Yi: "I just thought about it, there are many miscellaneous things in this mansion, and they are still entangled in the general." ”
"The prince has just received the will, and tomorrow he will go to the Potai Temple with the princess to do the Dharma for forty-nine days, is it to be handed over now, or will he wait until the Dharma is completed?" Lu Yi reminded.
"Now." Li Xia pondered for a moment, "It's just right, take a look at the people." ”
Li Xia said vaguely, but Lu Yi understood it as soon as he heard it, and at the time of the handover, he stayed away from the palace and just watched what everyone did.
"All the miscellaneous things in the palace will be explained, and the other ......" Li Xia looked at Lu Yi, and Lu Yi lowered his eyelids clearly. It's still in your hands, and from now on, keep an eye on them until the service is over. ”
"Yes." Lu Yi bowed and agreed, "Here?" ”
"In the West Flower Hall, just let Chengying or Hanguang go over." Li Xia responded.
According to the planning of this mansion, the West Flower Hall is where she handles the affairs of the mansion.
Lu Yi owes her body to respond. Withdrawing with his hand, Li Xia ordered to call Hu Ying and the others over, take Duan Yan, and go to the West Flower Hall first.
Chengying took two small chamberlains, each holding a heavy booklet, and soon entered the West Flower Hall, Hu Ying and other more than a dozen Li Xia's wedding girls, the three of Shen Mama, the chief steward of the Qin Palace, and more than a dozen housekeepers, and more than a dozen foreign stewards, soon arrived at the West Flower Hall.
Chengying ignored the others, carefully stacked the booklets on the long case in the middle of the flower hall, and said with a smile: "Back to the princess, the general ordered these booklets to be handed over to the princess." This stack is the population book of the house, this stack is the inventory of the acres of land and the treasury in the house, this stack is the general book of this year, and the rest of the detailed account books are all in the outer account room, and Cui Xingmin, the general manager of the outer account room. ”
Chengying looked back and pointed to a middle-aged man who had just run in and was still panting, "That is, if ......"
"If there's anything wrong, I'll call you in and ask you again." Li Xia interrupted Chengying's words and smiled.
Chengying hurriedly bowed down and withdrew from the flower hall.
Li Xia didn't look at the piles of brochures, but only ordered Duan Yan, "Call them all in." ”
Mama Shen was in front, the three chief stewards were standing in the front, there were more than a dozen housekeepers in a row behind, and behind the housekeepers, there were more than a dozen external stewards.
"I and the prince have been given a holy decree, tomorrow we will go to the Potai Temple to do 7749 days of transcendent rituals, all the things in the house, please bother, everything is according to the old practice, but in the past, I wanted to ask General Lu to show me all the things."
Li Xia's words were concise and clear, beyond everyone's expectations.
The room was a little stunned, and Mama Shen, who was standing at the front, reacted the fastest, and said with a smile: "Does the princess go back and forth every day, or stay temporarily in Potai Temple?" ”
"It's too disrespectful to go back and forth every day, and the prince and I are temporarily living in Potai Temple." Li Xia smiled.
"Nafuri?" Mama Shen met Li Xia's gaze, "What does the old slave mean, the princess has been absent from the mansion for more than forty days, is it necessary to leave a girl to preside over the affairs of the palace?" Still is? ”
"The Potai Temple is just outside the city, and it only takes an hour or two to go back and forth, and if there is anything, it will be handed to the Potai Temple." Li Xia sighed, laughed, and paused halfway through his words, "After all, it is outside the city, if there is anything, please consider one or two things first, and there is no need to go this trip to ask for instructions." ”
Before everyone could answer the promise, Li Xia had already stood up, motioned to Duan Yan and the others to pick up the booklet, and went out and left.
The housekeepers and the housekeepers stood in the West Flower Hall, and more than a dozen housekeepers stayed for a while, and left in groups, but the mothers-in-law and the mothers-in-law were all around Shen Mama and the others, not knowing what to say, but they all felt as if they had to say something.
"Is this considered a takeover?" Mama Song looked at Mama Shen and couldn't help but say.
"Seriously, the princess has already taken over in this house, and today is just a passing scene. This transition has passed, and we will be smooth in the future. Mama Shen looked calm.
"Ming'er is going to Potai Temple to do things, this preparation ......" Yao Mama didn't finish her words, a sound of footsteps outside the flower hall came from far and near, Venus hurriedly came in, bent her knees at everyone, looked at Shen Mama and smiled: "The princess said that she forgot to tell just now, she will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, and she will live in Potai Temple for more than a month. ”
After Jin Xing finished speaking, without waiting for Mama Shen to answer, he bowed again, turned around and left.
"What kind of division is this outside and inside? Where's the outside? "Doing everything with the master is in charge of Mama Yao, seeing that Venus turned around and left, Mama Yao hurriedly asked Mama Shen.
Mama Shen's brows have already wrinkled, everything is as usual, the old routine in this mansion, or the old routine in the palace? Is there any old practice in this house? At least the princess, but there is no old practice, according to the palace...... How can the old rules in the palace be used in the palace?
"It's still the princess's thoughtfulness." Mama Shen can be ordered to be the chief steward of the Qin Palace, this opportunity is extremely rare, "Just now the princess specially instructed, if there is anything, don't be afraid of trouble, even in Potai Temple, it is only an hour or two to go back and forth, just ask for more instructions." ”
Mama Yao frowned and responded, and Mama Song muttered, "The princess is really, if a charter comes out, please ask for instructions on everything, even if we are not afraid of trouble, she can be busy?" ”
"Compared with other people's houses, the best place in our house is that there are fewer masters, and the prince and princess, no matter how much you ask for instructions, but just run a few more times, this is a good thing." Mama Shen both reminded and tapped a word.
The inner house in this house, at least for this time, has only one owner.
The housekeepers and mothers-in-law responded scatteredly, and each retreated with his own thoughts.
Duan Yan and the others followed Li Xia out of the West Flower Hall, and walked out of the shot, Duan Yan took a step forward and said to Li Xia: "The princess will go to Potai Temple early tomorrow morning, we are all prepared, or ......"
"We are all prepared, we are just these people." Li Xia slowed down and looked back at the dozen or so girls who followed behind him. The dowry money she brought to the Qin Wangfu was small, and the accompanying family did not have it, that is, these girls.
"Then which ones we prepare, and which ones ......," Duan Yan then asked.
"Without us, and them." Li Xia interrupted Duan Yan's words, "You are in this palace, there is no difference from the past in the Bofu, you are the girl next to me, just take care of the affairs in the courtyard, outside is the old Liu's mother, Zhao's daughter-in-law, and now it is Shen's grandmother, Song's grandmother, Yao's grandmother, how was it before, how is it now, there is not much difference." ”
Duan Yan frowned, for a moment, his brows were slightly relaxed, and he bent his knees and said, "I understand what the princess means." ”
"It's different from before, that is, this palace is much bigger than the Bo Mansion, in addition to me, there are also princes in the main courtyard, there are more people, and there are more than several times more, these people are not enough. In the past, the prince has been resting in the outer study, and the inner attendants who are waiting around him are still in the outer study, you talk to Mama Shen, let her pay attention now, and when the Dharma is over, you will pick some more people to come in and wait. ”
Li Xia then commanded.
Duan Yan responded, hesitated, and still asked: "The princess is going to live in Potai Temple for nearly two months, and Hu Ying and I, do you want to keep a caretaker?" ”
"The rules are still the same as before, around me, it used to be Mingcui Courtyard, and now it is the main courtyard, and it must be in our own eyes. You and Hu Ying are not young, in the past two years, you have to train some people to come out with your heart, so that you can catch them. Li Xia's voice was soft.
Duan Yan hurriedly responded, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I understand, I know how to do it." ”
She was too outward before, this mansion is the mansion of her princess, and the people in this mansion are also their own people, and they have to correct this mentality first.
King Qin went to the Potai Temple to do things for the emperor, although it was just a low-key message, but all kinds of etiquette was still very cumbersome, and he was busy until the sun was setting in the west, and then he returned to the back house after being busy.
The main courtyard was brightly lit, and the house had already burned the earth dragon, warm and pleasant, Li Xia was wearing a white cotton cloth coat covered with a white cotton armor, and was sitting on the kang, looking at the map intently.
"What are you looking at?" King Qin sat sideways beside Li Xia and stretched out his head to look over.
"These places have reported that it hasn't rained for two months, you see," Li Xia motioned to King Qin to look at the small dots on the map that she had dotted with rouge, "It's even a piece, and these roads should have not rained for two months." ”
"It would be nice to have a few heavy snowfalls in the winter." King Qin looked at the red north and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Hmm." Li Xia responded paradoxically, she didn't think there would be any snow in winter, and intuitively, she felt that this drought was the same as the drought after the big trip, if that was the case, this one would not rain for ten months.
"I just remembered today that our house is still in the hands of General Lu, so I will quickly take it over today." Li Xia rolled up the map and separated from each other with a smile with King Qin.
"Ah Feng told me, saying that he could be regarded as handing it over, and his biggest headache was dealing with those grandmothers in the house." King Qin also tacitly agreed not to mention whether it rained or not.
"In the afternoon, Sixth Young Master Gu and Mrs. Tang all sent people over to clean up the courtyard next to Potai Temple for us to live temporarily, and I will go back. Let's do this transcendent ritual, we have to be sincere, it is best to live in the temple, I have asked Hu Ying and Mama Yao to go over and clean up first. ”
Li Xia said, not knowing what to think, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
King Qin looked at her carefully, "What did you think of?" ”
Li Xia hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't think about anything." The emperor wants to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to pray for rain? ”
"It was to ask Jiang Niangniang to bring all the women, and later sent an edict to the prince and asked him to go too, not explicitly praying for rain, only praying for the people." King Qin explained very carefully.
Li Xia pursed his lips and smiled, nodding his head constantly, which was really pleasing to the people.
