Xiangwangfu.

Backyard, Baiyan Hall.

Before dawn, several concubines were already sitting, no one spoke, several looked at each other, and each lowered his head.

During this period, only a few maids from the Xianxian Courtyard came over to serve hot tea, and besides, it was quiet as if there was no one.

The housekeeper was also standing aside, and outside the hall, a bunch of maids and maids gathered one after another, even the rough mother-in-law and the groom gradually came here.

There are more and more people, and the hall and courtyard are not standing much, there are about a hundred people, but there is still no one to speak, only a few stewards under the housekeeper give directions from time to time, and everyone stands in an orderly manner.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law and the servant counted the number one by one, repeatedly checked everyone's manners and clothes, and then reported to the housekeeper Wang Fu.

Wang Fu entered, turned two doors, and walked to the Xianxian Courtyard.

In the Xianxian Courtyard, Murong Jin, who stayed overnight last night and slept on a soft couch, had long since disappeared after Li Xiang woke up.

After walking a few steps, Li Xiang suddenly turned around and looked at the box that Lixia had just closed.

"Mother?" Lixia didn't know what Li Xiang meant, since he lost his memory, his master's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess, not to mention that he suddenly married into this mansion.

"The bracelet ......"

Lixia understood, reopened the box, and showed it to his master.

In the jewelry box, a gold bracelet is particularly eye-catching, said to be a bracelet, but there is no carving of any complicated fancy, but, the periphery is two strands of gold wire entangled, each strand of gold wire is two strands of synthesis, the cycle repeats, look closely, the thinnest gold wire, has been inseparable from the naked eye, the most chic, or there is a crystal clear sapphire on it, firmly entangled by thousands of strands of gold wire, as if it is one.

After a few glances, Li Xiang took the blood jade bracelet in his hand, put it on, and then went out.

Lixia and Stunned at the back glanced at each other, opened their mouths, one was more confused than the other, and even the most stable Spring Rain couldn't help but have a difference on his face.

However, Li Xiang didn't see it, he didn't see anything.

Wang Fu led the way, and while walking, he roughly talked about the layout and people up and down the Xiangwang Mansion.

Since it is a house that has been changed from the residence of a certain ancestor, it is naturally not small, and there are no less than half a hundred courtyards and pavilions of all sizes, but some places have also been sealed.

There are not many who can be called concubines, and they can be counted with one hand, and most of them are given by the palace, either from the emperor or from his biological mother, the concubine. There are only three of them who can live in a courtyard by themselves, and among these three, there is one who offended the ninth princess and was grounded, and one lingering sickbed seems to not live long.

There are not many people who are served, counting the Qing guests in the house, there are not as many concubines as there are, after all, it is not counted as a concubine room and there are maids to serve; As for the serious master, before Li Xiang entered the mansion, Murong Jin was a master, and now that she is married, it is the two of them, nothing else. Counting up, the people in the house are few, and the mansion, plus the dowry brought over, is only 316 people.

Li Xiang entered the Baiyan Hall, and everyone knelt on the ground.

Walk through a stone path in the middle of the crowd, walk through the hall, walk to the top, and stand still.

"Princess Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Spring rain and the beginning of summer began, and everyone shouted in unison.

Wang Fu knelt down again, "Everyone in Xiangwangfu, meet the princess!" Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

And the crowd (echoed) and made peace.

"Up." Li Xiang glanced at it and sat down.

Starting with the concubines, they gradually stood up.

"When I first entered the house, the palace was not very clear about the size of the house, so everything is as usual, and if there is any change, I will inform you." Li Xiang looked at everyone and said slowly.

"Yes!"

"However, even if it is a newcomer, the rules still have to be established, first, those who bully the Lord and betray the Lord are ungrateful, do not stay; second, those who bully the good and the weak, form a party for personal gain, and do not stay; Third, those who instigate the Lord and do not report it will not be kept; Fourth, those who corrupt the door style and insult the lintel will not stay. Li Xiang just roughly flipped through the rules of the Seven Kings Mansion last night, which was very brief, but when he saw it today, he couldn't see it at all, "Clear?" ”

"Clear! I will remember the teachings of the princess! ”

"That's the best, let's go." Li Xiang tilted his head and glanced at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu arranged for people to disperse with a group of subordinates, and each went back to his place on an errand.

The rest are concubines.

"Concubine Jinxin/Cheng Yiqiu/Shangguan Xue/Porcelain Qing/Red Sleeves/Suiyi, meet the princess and invite the housewife to tea."

A cup of tea for one person, one by one, and a sip of it.

It's just that none of these people's names, except for Shangguan Xue, are ......

Lixia had already come over, stepped forward, and whispered: "Jinxin is a side concubine, a show girl given by the emperor, she was a female official in the palace before she was a show girl, the one who offended the ninth princess and was grounded, because the prince was only released for a few days because of the prince's wedding; Cheng's was given by the concubine, but she was a female official in the queen's palace, she was Mrs. Ru before, and then she was punished, and she was still temporarily in charge of the inner house; Shangguan Xue is like Mrs., she ...... is Mrs. Xue, the orphan girl that the prince picked up from outside; The red sleeves were female officials before, and they were given by the noble concubine; The other two are the beauties who returned to Beijing last year to report on their work and pay tribute, and they were also given by the emperor. ”

Li Xiang understood, and sure enough, looking at the name, he didn't look like the master, but more like the people below.

"Get up." Li Xiang took a closer look and remembered his face and name.

are all beauties, Jinxin is a female official, and she overwhelms others in terms of bearing, and her face is a little cold; Shangguan Snowman is as his name suggests, his face is pale, his skin is better than snow, his willow leaves are bent and his eyebrows are bent, and he looks like a weak willow supporting the wind. The others don't look much different, Celadon looks a little cowardly, Cheng Qiuyi seems to be a little cold, and she can't stop shaking, Red Sleeves and Suiyi seem to be more ordinary in terms of personality, but they are still very beautiful.

"Don't be restrained, there are not many people in the house, and they are all their own sisters, I don't know what you like, so I have this, why don't you choose a few pieces of jewelry yourself." Li Xiang raised his hand, and was stunned to take two little maids, one of whom was holding a case*, and there were all kinds of jewelry on the case.

A few people were stunned for a moment, but Shangguan Xue took the lead in choosing a pearl tassel begonia inlaid with jade bead hairpin, thank you, and a few others made a move.

Li Xiang quietly watched them choose, a total of ten of them, six of them, who knows, only Cheng took two pieces, and later put one back.

Among the things picked, there are only three pieces that are really rare, one is the hairpin selected by Shangguan, one is the bracelet selected by Cheng, and the other is Yingluo selected by Jinxin.

Li Xiang glanced at it, led the little maid in surprise, and took the rest of the things away.

"According to the rule, I want to say something, I don't know what to say, I thought about it, or four, no matter how many people in the house in the future, it is also these four, I hope you remember it, and the maids around you also remember it, first, those who cause trouble, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, do not stay; second, those who mutilate their children and frame others will not be kept; Third, those who charm the Lord and disturb people's minds will not be left; Fourth, those who collude with outsiders and frame the palace will not stay. ”

Li Xiang looked at it quietly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Third, it's not that you can't compete for favor, but that you can't use the three indiscriminate methods and messy things, so you still have questions?" ”

"Nope!" Cheng was a little flustered and took the lead in speaking, and the others also responded.

"That's fine, let's go back and rest, Shangguan and so on." Li Xiang glanced at Lixia, who raised his hand, and several maids stepped forward.

"Such as Madame, this is some medicinal materials to nourish qi and blood, Niangniang herself is also using it, look at Madame who is sick all the year round, but it is somewhat similar to my mother, you can take these things." Lixia stepped forward, and in the hands of a maid behind him, there were things like Ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps, and ginseng.

The others hadn't gone out yet, half-watching and half-walking out.

"Doctor." Li Xiang raised his hand, and the house doctor, who had not left before, stepped forward, carefully inspected the medicinal materials in front of everyone, saluted Li Xiang and Shangguan's family, and said, "They are all excellent medicinal materials, there is no problem!" ”

Shangguan coughed again, looked at these things, and then looked at the house doctor's face that seemed to be numb, and finally his eyes fell on the princess's mother, and suddenly understood, "Thank you for the princess's compassion, the concubine is grateful." ”

Li Xiangwan smiled, got up and went back to Xianxian Courtyard, and sent someone to talk to Cheng.
