Chapter 362: Returning to the Gate (1st Update)
When I woke up in the morning, it was bright, and the thin light was reflected through the window, reflecting on the face of the man on the low couch, and brushing him with a layer of coldness.
In that thin skylight, he was a fairy far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, holding a book in his hand and reading it with his eyes down.
Sensing Han Youning's gaze, Zhao Chengyuan put down the book and walked to the bed, the little girl who had just woken up looked soft and delicate.
He leaned over and smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"Well, my brother woke up early?" Han Youning sat up, his voice lazy and soft.
"It didn't take long." Zhao Chengyuan quietly helped her tidy up her clothes.
Han Youning looked down, hurriedly tugging at the placket of his clothes, and pushed him with the other hand, "The prince is out, I'm going to change my clothes!"
Zhao Chengyuan smiled and walked out of the inner room.
Suzu'er and Akiba dared to come in.
Ling'er served Han Youning in his clothes, and said in a low voice, "The prince woke up early, but for some reason he didn't go to the martial arts training ground. He also brought in a bucket of cold water himself, and it was still morning in the winter, isn't it cold to take a cold shower?"
Han Youning was also quite puzzled, can people with weak spleen and stomach stand a cold bath?
She said, "Is it because there is no hot water in the kitchen?"
"The small kitchen is guarded all night, and hot water is always boiling in the pot in case the prince calls for water." Ling'er blushed and whispered, "The slave told the prince that there was hot water, and he said it was not necessary."
Akiba made the bed on the side and said, "The slave maid used to be a rough man in the courtyard of Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo often had the habit of taking a cold shower in the morning. He didn't need to boil hot water for the slave or maid. Presumably, people who practice martial arts are like this."
Han Youning and Ling'er thought so, the topic stopped, and the three of them talked about returning to the door again.
Zhao Chengyuan sat in the outer room, listening to the three masters and servants, and shook his head helplessly.
Youning is surrounded by young and ignorant maids, and there are no mothers who don't take care of things. There are many things that no one teaches, and they are afraid that they will not understand it for a while.
The little girl seemed to be afraid that the people who followed her would repeat the mistakes of the past, and they were implicated and died one by one, and they never bought more people.
After breakfast, the people in the palace officially came to see the princess.
Those who came were all stewards and big maids from all over the inner and outer courtyards, as well as the stewards of the Zhuangzi Shop Courtyard, who stood in a courtyard full of people, and the Jin Wangfu had no internal dependents, so there were no eunuchs in the palace.
Han Youning saw two familiar faces, Qing Aya and Zi Aya.
Both of them knelt down and saluted in a proper manner, without any unusual expressions.
Zhao Chengyuan stood beside Han Youning and only said, "In this mansion in the future, the princess will have the final say."
The subordinate respectfully responded, kowtowed, and withdrew.
Han Youning knew that this was Zhao Chengyuan standing up for her, and this sentence was enough.
Cheng Han had already prepared a return gift, full of two carriages.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the road are pedestrians hurrying home for reunion, with more or less expensive or cheap New Year goods in their hands.
No matter what the harvest of the year is, it is always with a smile on your face to welcome the end of the year and the new life of the next year.
In the carriage, Zhao Chengyuan and Han Youning talked about the internal affairs of the house, "When you are not busy after the New Year, let the managers of various places hand over the accounts to you, and you will be in charge of it in the future." You managed the Guogong Mansion well before, so I guess this will not be difficult for you."
Han Youning snorted sullenly.
"You can't do it without a housekeeper by your side, think about it, is it from the Guogong Mansion or from the Wangfu?"
Han Youning played with the side of her skirt and said absentmindedly, "Wangfu." There aren't many mothers in the Guogong Mansion who have to use them, and I took them all away, what should my father do?"
Zhao Chengyuan looked at her with a smile, "What's on your mind?"
Han Youning raised his eyes to look at him, "Qing Aya and Zi Aya are the prince's maids?"
If she hadn't seen it today, she would have forgotten that there were still two people. They didn't follow when they returned to the capital from Jinju, so why did they come again?
The two of them were dressed like ordinary maids.
Zhao Chengyuan laughed and scratched her nose, "Why don't you scream."
Brother, jealous?"
Han Youning was silent.
Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "They are the maids sent to the Jin Palace's mansion by the Queen Mother three years ago, there are four of them, and two of them have already done something wrong and sold them. These two were sent by the Queen Mother to Jinju to pick them up a few days ago, and they just arrived two days ago."
Han Youning snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother is really considerate of the prince."
It's clear, it's to make him a warm bed.
I don't know if he's used it.
Most of the children have had intercourse maids after they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they do not regard them as their own women, but as ordinary maids with more errands. Most of the concubines and aunts they will have in the future, and most of them will continue to be current people, or they will be sold.
On the day of the cave room, he seemed to understand quite well, knew that she would be in pain, and knew that he would slowly guide her to move/emotionally.
Zhao Chengyuan stretched out his long arms, took her in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "They are just the Queen Mother's eyeliner. Like you, I was the first day in the world."
Han Youning sighed, and said, "That's fine."
Zhao Chengyuan hugged the little girl and smiled, "You just instruct them to do things, if you don't want to see them, just send them to a place you can't see."
Han Youning thought in his heart, "Okay, then I'll help them find a good place."
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, he wanted to see what the little girl would do.
The gate of the Guogong Mansion was open, and Han Jun walked back and forth inside the gate.
The little servant came to report, "Grandpa Guo, the princess and princess will be here soon!"
Han Jun hummed lightly and paced to the outer study.
Seeing Grandpa Guo's rather calm back, the little servant was confused for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Guo is not in a hurry? Why did he go when someone came?"
Han Sixing slapped the stupid boy, "Go aside!"
He walked out of the gate with his hands in his hands, waiting for his sister and brother-in-law to return to the door.
Han Rui led the people in the second room and was already standing at the door of the mansion waiting. Han Rui and Han Siqi looked decadent, and Chu Jingjing and Han Qingwan also had worries between their eyebrows.
When the carriage stopped, everyone knelt down to greet each other.
Zhao Chengyuan helped Han Youning get out of the car and exempted them from the courtesy.
Han Sixing got up and looked at his sister first, and saw that his sister looked good, and he was quite happy between his eyebrows, so he stretched out his hand to Zhao Chengyuan, "Lord Wang, please."
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Shizi, please."
He held Han Youning's hand and walked parallel with Han Sixing.
Han Sixing frowned and stared at the hands of the two for a moment, and finally didn't say anything, okay, husband and wife.
The people in the second room followed behind, and when they saw King Jin's favor for Han Youning, they didn't know what it was like in their hearts for a while.
If the big house and the two rooms are harmonious, isn't it time to share the wealth? There is a princess of Jin in the house, what a glory?
Han Youning and the others went to the outer study.
Zhao Chengyuan bowed his hand, "The son-in-law has seen Lord Yue."
Han Jun sat on the upper seat, first looked at his daughter, and saw that her face was ruddy and she saluted quite happily, and Fang's expression eased.
He said in a deep voice, "Well, the prince sat down and spoke."
Han Youning sat with him for a while, listened to his father beating Zhao Chengyuan openly and secretly, and then went back to the inner courtyard.
Yu Niang is already waiting for her in the small cross courtyard of Jinhetang.
