"Girl, do you want the servant to close the window?" Xun Zhen asked on the side, pointed to the stack of papers, and said in a very soft voice: "The maid is afraid of getting drenched." ”

Chen Ying withdrew from her thoughts, nodded and said the word "good", and reached out to pick up the page.

At that moment, she was a little excited.

What she was most eager to know about was the Wind Bone Society.

The many unsolved mysteries have always been a source of concern for her.

What is the problem with the family where Tang Xiucai wrestled? Is that grocery store really quirky, or is it just an ordinary store? There are also the recent movements of Xingwei, Chen Li and Chen Shao, as well as the origin of Zhou Chaogui and so on.

All of this, perhaps, will be answered today.

Without time to think about it, Chen Ying quickly opened the letter and looked at it at a glance.

The carriage swayed and drove slowly out of the imperial city, into the downtown area, and gradually disappeared into the wind and rain that covered the sky and the earth......

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the day is gratifying, and the bitter wind and rain of the previous days are no longer gone, and the people of Shengjing are happy to bloom, and the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital will be able to enjoy a round of bright moon.

It's a pity that the joy in the fireworks and red dust, the nobles who are high up, may not be able to appreciate it.

The eldest princess's mansion is like this.

In previous years, on this festival, although the house will not be a major event, but everywhere needs to be cleaned, even the most secluded, the courtyard of the Ji people who live in the palace must be bright, and the pillars must be washed before they can get by.

However, this year's Eldest Princess's Mansion is silent, not to mention scrubbing the corridor, even if the sound of sweeping the fallen leaves is louder, there will be internal supervisors who shout "no noise", and the palace servants are all trembling, and they have to stand on tiptoe when they walk.

This kind of situation is especially true of Chaoyang Temple.

The eldest princess has been in a bad mood lately.

In fact, it's been a long time since she's really shown her face.

In July and August alone, the eldest princess personally disposed of more than a dozen servants, more than half of whom died of serious injuries, and the rest of them became cripples although they took a life.

According to the ancestral system of the Great Chu Dynasty, anyone who has incomplete hands and feet should be banned from being in the palace and the princess's mansion, etc., and they are not allowed to be retained, so as not to hinder the dignity of the royal family.

Therefore, as soon as these people recovered from their injuries, they were sent to Zhuangzi by the chief steward Geng Yuchang, and before leaving, each of them was rewarded with five taels of silver, which was considered to be the eldest princess's extra kindness, and the love of this master and servant was fulfilled.

Naturally, these sesame big things can't reach the eldest princess at all, and what bothers her will not be these lowly subordinates, but more important things:

Money.

Feng Banglou needs to be closed, and there is a big problem with the partial accounts, and Mrs. Cheng of Xingjibo is greedy for a large amount of money, which is really hateful.

The nearly 10,000 taels of silver, Cheng refused to spit it out, and even wanted to threaten the old things.

I don't know how thick the sky is!

"It's just that I added an aunt to her, how can I be like this, and I still want to block me with some, it's really annoying." The eldest princess frowned on the small mountain eyebrows, straightened the triangular eyes, supported her cheeks in one hand, held a pair of silver-handled ivory chopsticks in the other, and put a steamed soft and glutinous ginkgo on the chopsticks.

She wore a silver and blue jacket, because the house burned the dragon, and only with her daughter Guo Yuan, the neckline was slightly loosened, revealing the moon-white middle shirt inside, and the neckline was embroidered with a two-color peony, pink and white, complex and graceful, lining her face with thick powder, adding three points of color.

Seeing that she didn't like it, Guo Yuan smiled and persuaded her: "Mother is not angry, grandmother is on the fire, where can I turn around for a while?" That Aunt Liu is said to be very beautiful, and she is young, and her grandfather has been resting in her house for almost a month, and her grandmother is already sick, and now she is even more sick, so she has no time to see her mother. ”

The eldest princess also knew that she was asking for trouble.

In the final analysis, she didn't touch a single finger in that incident back then, it was all done by Cheng alone, she didn't believe that Cheng could bite herself.

It's just that although the heart is clear, in the end it is troublesome.

Even if she is a princess and there is no shortage of money in hand, the deficit of nearly 10,000 taels does not mean that it can be made up.

She tightened her eyebrows, and the nasolabial folds at the corners of her lips were like two downward arcs, which became more and more prominent.

The only way to do this is to take out the name of her eldest princess and mix up this account, thinking about it, those merchants will not dare to come to collect debts from her.

As soon as the thought turned here, the eldest princess's heart was a little blocked, and she couldn't wait to call Cheng over immediately and scolded her fiercely.

"Ask for money and shameless things, and sell them cheaply and well. Stuffed an Aunt Liu, it was really cheap for her. The eldest princess slapped her toothbrush on the case with a snap, her face sinking like water.

Cheng got a lot of silver for nothing, but he was not satisfied, which really made people hate it the more they thought about it.

Seeing this, Guo Yuan knew that she was really annoyed, and she also looked down on Cheng in her heart, so she simply stopped persuading.

After sitting with a cold face for a moment, the eldest princess called, "Someone is coming." ”

A white-haired palace man walked quietly and bowed silently.

The eldest princess frowned and asked, "Mama Wei, this palace remembers, there are still seven or eight palace people in the side courtyard, yes or no?" ”

Mama Wei lowered her head and said slowly: "Back to Your Highness, there are only three dancing girls in that courtyard now." ”

"So little?" The eldest princess was very unsafe, and her face was covered with a layer of frost: "Where did all those go?" The main palace hasn't been seen outside lately. ”

"When I go back to Your Highness, there were eight people in that courtyard, but only three of them died of cold last winter. At the beginning of spring this year, the weather was very cold, and two of them didn't survive and died. Although Mama Wei's voice was slow, she spoke clearly.

The eldest princess sighed and raised her eyebrows: "These cheap maids are raised with delicate skin and flesh, and they get sick at every turn, and they die when they get sick." ”

Guo Yuan was busy helping: "My mother is really right." These sluts are very pretty, they only wear gauze skirts on cold days, if they want to be beautiful, they can't freeze to death? ”

These words were so deep that the eldest princess finally turned a little pale, and asked, "How did you send it?" Can someone in the palace come to ask? ”

Mama Wei hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, these are all sent according to the regulations, and no one in the palace has ever asked, it is Liu Changshi's personal registration, and all the procedures are complete." ”

"That's fine." The eldest princess said lightly: "That's it, don't talk about these bad things, Mama Wei, you go to the treasury, pick a similar gift, and send two more shrewd internal supervisors to take the three dancing girls to Xingjibo Mansion, just say that this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift of the palace." In particular, it is important to point out that the three dancing girls are for the uncle to relieve his boredom, and in a few days, the palace will go to the uncle's mansion to watch them dance. ”

Mama Wei promised, and seeing that she had no more orders, Fang took the order and left.
