Ming Lanying asked the guard Ming Langtao to send the three of them back, looking at the huge mansion with some distress, the mansion also needs money to maintain, not to mention that their masters don't need to be served, but such a big palace definitely needs someone to take care of it.

Suddenly, I missed the capable Wang Steward in the capital.

More than a dozen carriages in the house are now taken care of by the guards in turn for the time being, and the sheep, chickens and more than thirty young beasts in the beast garden are taken care of by Shan Zhao and Ning Er.

Dongxia came back after packing up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw her swinging in the garden in the front yard with a frown, and stepped forward to help her push two handfuls.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Ming Lanying pulled Dong Xia to swing together, and said babblingly: "You look at the empty house, and there will be more things if no one helps take care of it, but I don't worry about others in the house, I'm afraid that the people who spend money to invite will break their mouths and chew the root of their tongues." ”

And her ability to talk to animals often, there are a bunch of animals at home, and often communicate to know their physical state, and the people around her are used to her talking to the animals, for fear that outsiders will think she is sick.

The gossip of the big families was first spread by the people in the house, and when the people in the border area knew that the princess of the prince who guarded the border was a fool and a madman, the reputation of the palace in the side was gone.

The more Ming Lanying thought about it, the more worried she became, and Dong Xia just smiled when she heard this.

"Sister-in-law, you think too much, there are many slaves who are willing to sign the death deed in Biansai, if you are afraid of the subordinates who have broken their mouths, then buy a few dumb slaves."

"Dumb slave?"

"Half of Biansai are exiled sinners, some of them have been tortured and their tongues have been pulled out, or they are poisoned and dumb, and no one will care about the lowly status after coming here, and the village before us is good, and the general thing is that no one cares whether they are dead or alive, and those who are unlucky will be caught by people's teeth, and then sold after training."

Ming Lanying rubbed her arms, pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Let's go, let's go to Ming Langtao and ask him to find a reliable person." ”

Ming Lanying called Hebai, and left Shan Zhao to accompany Ning Er in the house.

Hebai rushed to the car, but half an hour to the prefect's office in the next town, thanks to Ming Langtao sent the account book to the capital once every six months, the prefect's accumulated old accounts were checked before the spring, Ming Langtao officially took office, and began to officially start the work of the prefect.

When Ming Lanying and the others arrived, they were stopped by the guards outside the mansion, "Who trespassed on the mansion?" ”

Hebai arrogantly showed the golden token given by the queen's mother, carved a dragon and a phoenix on one side, and engraved with the royal word in the middle, "Princess Yanbei has arrived, looking for your prefect, and it has not been passed on!" ”

The guards guarding the door hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, and they didn't need to pass it on, so they directly invited people in.

Ming Lanying looked at the stunned Hebai with a smile, "Why didn't you say that your dignified female general arrived?" ”

Hebai whispered in Ming Lanying's ear, "Sister-in-law, you don't understand, where is the female general as the famous princess of Yanbei!" I have a rare opportunity to be a fox and a fake tiger, happy! ”

Dong Xia covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister-in-law, let her fake the tiger once, except for the prince on the side, you are the biggest, and it is rare to have the opportunity to show off your identity." ”

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, "It's too public, be careful of accidents." ”

Hebai smiled, "I know, I know." ”

Ming Langtao was talking to Meng Huaisu about the situation in various places at the beginning of spring this year, and the little girl came to report that Ming Lanying and a few people were a little surprised, so he hurriedly put down his hand and went to greet people in advance.

"Yo! Why is Sister Lan Ying here? ”

As soon as Ming Lanying sat down, she heard this inconspicuous laughter, and she heard her voice before she saw it, so she had no choice but to hold her forehead.

Ming Langtao took Meng Huaisu into the side hall, smiled and saluted perfunctorily, Ming Lanying waved his hand and didn't care, "Naturally, there is something to find you, the house needs to add people, to be honest, it is best to have a clean family background, do you have any people who can be trusted?" ”

Ming Langtao pretended to be sad and spread out in the circle chair, "Sure enough, I won't think of my brother for no reason......"

Hebai slowly raised his foot and kicked him mercilessly, "You are the prefect of Biansai, managing the archives of everyone in Biansai, don't look for anyone you find!" Hurry up! ”

Dong Xia said to Meng Huaisu: "The house really needs someone to help take care of it, but my sister-in-law is afraid that outsiders will be unreliable, Huaisu, do you have a reliable person or a reliable person?" ”

Meng Huaisu nodded, "Leave it to me, and take someone to the palace in the afternoon." ”

Dong Xia smiled, "Okay." ”

Meng Huaisu is familiar with the people who are plugged in the side, and it is easy to hand over this matter to him, Ming Langtao stood up and said to Ming Lanying: "Sister Lanying, can you go back and let the prince promote some people who can be used!" The county orders under the ground are as rotten as dung, I can't stand it! ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "How do you say this?" Tell us more? ”

Meng Huaisu looked at Shang Dongxia's worried eyes, and the words on his lips were relaxed, "The side plug is remote, the previous prefect is mediocre and incompetent, and there are few county orders under it that can be used, and the situation reported in Kaichun is messy and clueless." ”

Tsurubai smacked his tongue, "What then?" Full shark? Can't you? You are in charge of the county orders of the two continents. ”

The total population of Biansai Kyushu is only about 180,000, but the number of troops guarding it accounts for 100,000, and the average number of troops in one state is less than 10,000, so two states and one prefect are simply established.

However, there is no shortage of county orders, because there are few people in the border area, and the work of the county orders in the border area is not as heavy as in other areas, and the location is more remote, which leads to more unscrupulous corruption and perversion of the law by the officials who are already unscrupulous.

Ming Langtao, the new prefect, has not done anything since he took office a few years ago, so that the people below have relaxed their vigilance, and they have not been less bribe-sitting.

Ming Langtao frowned in disgust, "In the past few years, I have collected enough evidence of the crime, and I can confiscate it all and cut off my head, but I am afraid that after disposing of these wastes, there will be no suitable person to take the position, and a batch of useless things will be replaced." ”

Ming Lanying hummed indifferently, "I know, I'll tell him, you control those officials first, don't let them run away." ”

Ming Langtao sneered, "I can't run, how can I be willing to leave if I haven't been greedy enough?" ”

Meng Huaisu said lightly, "The earliest has a one-year term of office, and I will make a lot of money in this year." ”

Ming Lanying snorted, "Then let them fish, when the time comes, they will catch them all, and let them spit out as much as they want." ”

Ming Langtao propped his head on his arm, thinking of the new emperor of the neighboring country next door, "The new emperor next door is going to make a move, and there will definitely be restless troublemakers here at that time, and the silver money they squeezed is just used to make up for the deficit at that time, tsk!" It's upset to think that they can move their heads and die, and we have to clean up the mess! ”

When Hebai thought about it, he was also a little unhappy, "Why! No way! Spare their lives, clean up the mess, and die! ”

"Huh? What do you want to do? Ming Lanying looked at her and said with a smile.

Crane rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a bad idea, "Go check their weakness!" Friends, relatives, lovers, children, etc., can always catch the handle and threaten them to clean up the mess! In the end, we replaced our own people and killed them all! ”

Dong Xia frowned and tried to guess what the outcome of such a scenario would be, Meng Huaisu interrupted mercilessly, "It's been in vain." ”

Hebai bared his teeth in dissatisfaction, "Why! ”

Ming Langtao shook his head helplessly, "It's too much of a waste of time, it's better to kill them all directly, although Prince Heng and the Ming family in the capital have fallen, but the party henchmen can't all be killed, they will definitely be demoted and banished from Beijing, and when the time comes, they will directly pick two that can be used." ”

"Cut! You've got a countermeasure, so ask a fart! ”

Meng Huaisu bowed his hand to Ming Lanying, "Please also ask the princess to inform the prince about this matter." ”

Ming Lanying nodded, got up and patted the hem of her skirt, "Okay, go back." ”

Ming Langtao and the two hurriedly got up to see each other, before leaving, Meng Huaisu quietly asked Dong Xia if he was used to living in the palace, you must know that Dong Xia didn't even dare to go out of the door, and now Ming Lanying could accompany her across the town as soon as she came back, he was a little worried.

Dong Xia smiled, "My sister-in-law treats me the best, don't worry!" ”

Hebai looked at Dongxia's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Oops! Are you worried that we won't be able to stay well in the palace in winter and summer? It just so happens that we're back now, so when are you going to pick a good day to get things done and take people directly to your side? ”

Dong Xia blushed and pushed Hebai, "Don't talk nonsense......"

Meng Huaisu nodded calmly, "That's what I mean." ”

Hebai laughed out loud, Dongxia's face turned even redder, he didn't look at Meng Huaisu's eyes, climbed into the carriage in a panic, and urged Hebai to go back early.

The carriage walked away before Meng Huaisu retracted his gaze, and the two brothers of Ming Langtao hugged Meng Huaisu's shoulders well, "With the relationship between you and me growing up together, I don't mind if I go to make a hole when the time comes, right?" ”

Meng Huaisu broke free of his arm without changing his face, "Mind." ”

"Huh?!"

Ye Jielu went to the border guard camp early in the morning to reorganize the troops, and only rushed back in the evening, saw that there were some more fresh faces in the house, and strode to change into clean clothes, before going to find Ming Lanying.

In the east study, Ming Lanying was counting the small assets in her hand, thinking about how to take care of it, when a cup of tea suddenly appeared in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Ye Jielu's cold and handsome face.

"Coming back? How is it in the barracks? ”

"It's fine."

Ming Lanying didn't ask much, turned out the new accounts, and discussed with Ye Juelu, "Today there are some new subordinates, all of whom have signed the death deed, the people are Meng Huai looking for, I have seen that they are all honest, and there are thirty people, ten small maids, twenty little maids, five big maids, ten people in the kitchen, and eighty-five more people in the house, just one is a steward, I kind of think about the king of the capital, he is worry-free." ”

Ye Juelu nodded, "It's good for the lady to call the shots." ”

"By the way, Hebai and Shan Zhao don't want to match people around them for the time being, Ning'er is not used to having people around them, I also want to pick a heartfelt one for him, do you want someone to follow you?"

Ming Lanying's eyes swept over lightly, and Ye Jielu immediately straightened his back, "No, I'm fine alone." ”

"Really?" Ming Lanying looked at him suspiciously, "It's all the prince, isn't it inconvenient to have no one around to serve you?" There are small maids and maids in the house, which are enough. ”

She just kindly proposed, but in Ye Juelu's ears, it sounded like a warning, warning him to be honest and responsible, and shook her head more firmly to refuse.

"No, the secret guard will convey it for me if there is something, don't worry about it."

"Okay then, but which yard do you want to live in now? It seems that other people's masters have their own yards......"

Ming Lanying lowered his head and planned the courtyard in the house, this is Shan Zhao looked for Ye Jielu in the morning and didn't find it, and asked the guards to know that it was in Ming Lanying's main courtyard, and he couldn't enter Ming Lanying's yard, so he missed the time for Ye Jielu to go out.

Shan Zhao had no choice but to mention this matter to Ming Lanying and asked her if she could set aside a yard for the prince, and Shan Zhao's original words were, "It's too pitiful for the prince to have his own yard, and other people's male owners have them." ”

Ming Lanying thought about it, and it was true that although it was quite comfortable to sleep in a bed with Ye Juelu and have a constant temperature pillow, she still wanted to have a bed alone.

Ye Jielu was shocked, and his eyes showed a little grievance, "Lady, am I not attentive to my service?" ”

Ming Lan Ying: "? ”

What did he wrong?

"It's okay, the massage is quite comfortable, Zhao Lao's massage technique is different, but you are such a big person, you should also have your own yard, and it is not like having a yard with me every day."

Ye Juelu shook his head violently, "No, it's good, husband and wife should have a quilt, a bed, a room, and a yard, and other people's families sleep in separate rooms without feelings." ”

Ming Lanying looked at him hesitantly, "...... Is it? ”

Ye Jielu half-squatted down and knelt down on one knee in front of her, looked up at her slightly, and said with a serious face: "Sleeping in a separate room is a long-distance relationship, it's not good." ”

Ming Lan Ying: "......"

"What did Tsuruhaku tell you?"

Ye Jielu didn't speak, which was equivalent to acquiescence, "There is a main courtyard in the mansion, I am the prince, I can't sleep in the guest courtyard, and it is natural to have a courtyard with the princess." ”

Ming Lanying scratched her head, "Whatever you want, the bed is big enough anyway, just don't squeeze me at night." ”

“…… Good. ”

Every morning when I wake up, my eyes are all his chest muscles, and I still touch his tight abdominal muscles in my hands, she is also a woman with strong blood and blood!

Ye Jielu came to her to ask her to go to dinner, and secondly, he wanted to tell you about the neighboring country.

Wipe her hands clean with a wet handkerchief and hold them in her hands," he said as he walked. ”

From the study to the dining room, you can walk the verandah, and the maid she met hung her head stiffly to avoid it, and Ming Lanying asked softly, "What's going on next door?" ”

"The new emperor of the neighboring country has just ascended the throne and has not yet secured the throne, and wants to do something big to consolidate the throne, and has already assembled 200,000 troops to attack, but the 200,000 troops are not listening to the orders of the people on their throne, but recognizing the soldiers and tiger talismans in the hands of the general, and the general is the person of the previous emperor, so now the general guarding the border and the new emperor are facing each other."

Ming Lanying's eyes widened in surprise, "What about us?" ”

How does it feel...... Is it a good time to attack a neighbor?

Ye Jielu guessed what she wanted to say, and shook her head gently, "People don't offend me, I don't offend people." ”

Ming Lanying smiled.
