When Nangong Yue returned to the palace, the time had passed.
Nangong Yue got out of the carriage in front of the second gate and looked around the huge palace. She suddenly felt empty. The feeling seemed to spread to her heart.
She stood in a daze and stood there for a long time, but she didn't come back to her for a long time, until Bai Hui whispered in her ear: "Concubine Shi Zi, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhu came to see you!"
Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhu? Nangong Yue looked at Bai Hui's sight and saw a black-faced man and a bearded man bowing and waiting not far away, a respectful look, exactly the way she used to be in her own royal village I have seen Zhou Dacheng and Zhu Xing.
It turned out that Xiao Yi did not bring them both this time.
Nangong Yue walked towards the two of them, and the two of them bowed their hands together to salute her: "Have seen the concubine."
Nangong Yue raised her hand and said, "Don't be rude, let's go to the outside study to speak." Xiao Yi left, and his outside study was also handed over to Nangong Yue for use.
After several people arrived at the outside study, Nangong Yue sat down after the book case. "You can sit too, don't be too restrained." Since Xiao Yi asked them to come to see him, there must be something to say.
"Thank you, Princess Shi." Zhou Dacheng and Zhu Xing sat down on two pear wood circle chairs with disrespect, followed by Zhu Xing first said: "Sister Princess Shi, Lord Shi Zi left his subordinates, hoping that his subordinates were in the palace Temporarily acting as a housekeeper, in addition, the Office of the Outer Court is temporarily under the supervision of its subordinates."
Butler? Nangong Yue was stunned. Isn't it a big deal to let a person come down from the battlefield as a butler?
Zhu Xing continued to explain: "The original housekeeper of the King's Palace in Zhennan was the person who followed the princess. After the princess left, he was driven away by the grandfather. Before that, Cheng Yu had been acting as the housekeeper temporarily, this time Cheng Yu followed the son Lord returned to southern Xinjiang, so he passed it on to his subordinates."
Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi's remark that "moving someone's teeth" last night was really sweating.Hey, in terms of the housekeeper, he really is a mess.At first glance, Cheng Yu could see that talents such as military divisions or aides were actually used as big housekeepers, and they really used a sabre to kill chickens.But this time, Cheng Yu followed Xiao Yi back to southern Xinjiang, and finally he can show his strengths without having to worry about these household chores.
Following that, Nangong Yue's gaze turned to Zhou Dacheng again. Without her asking, Zhou Dacheng took the initiative and said: "The concubine, who is in charge of the guards in the palace temporarily, is responsible for the defense of the royal palace." He really did not know how to deal with it. Nangong Yue, a delicate girl like Didi, can only say nothing stiffly, "The princess of the world is assured, and there are subordinates, it will not let any Xiaoxiao disturb the princess of the world!"
This is obviously that Xiao Yi found something for Zhou Dacheng to do. The palace was empty, with only Nangyong Yue as the master, and no servants. I am afraid that even Zhu Xing, the steward, was idle.
Nangong Yue said helplessly: "I'll trouble you after that."
"No trouble, no trouble, this is the responsibility of my subordinates!" But this week's big achievement is a rectum, and I can't understand the meaning of the words at all. Zhu Xing on the side is embarrassed and has a cold forehead in his embarrassment. I really want to assume that I don't know this brother .
Nangong Yue was amused, her mouth ticked.
After she pondered for a while, she said to Zhu Xing again: "Zhu Xing, you will send me all the accounts in this house tomorrow, let me see."
The most feared thing for ordinary servants is the master checking accounts, but Zhu Xing's eyes brightened when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to talk.He knew that Nangong Yue was about to start hosting the Zhongfu. Once the imperial concubine shot, then he would be easy later.
He was relieved not only when Nangong Yue saw it, but also Bai Hui and Lily on the side. The two little girls exchanged a look.
Lily secretly said: The people in this world are really unreliable!
After speaking for a while, Nangong Yue took Baihui Lily back to Fufengyuan.
For things in this house, she planned to wait to read the roster left by Xiao Yi, and the accounts in the house. Now it is imperative to sort out her dowry and file it in the warehouse.Also, although the new house is festively decorated, it is clear that the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are just desperately creating a festive atmosphere, which is somewhat awkward, and she intends to take a good look.
As a result, the entire Fufengyuan was busy under the guidance of Nangong Yue.
She opened three new warehouses, put all the dowry into the library, and changed the furnishings in the house from screens to vases to curtains to seat cushions, etc. The festive red is the main color, but it adds a bit of Shilin's low-key and elegance.
It took two days to complete these, and Nangong Yue picked up the small study room in Xixiao with great interest.
This small study room was more than twice as large as hers in Mozhuyuan, and the second time was a medicine pavilion specially designed for her by Xiao Yi.
There is a row of partition windows facing south in the study room.It seems that the light is very bright. There are book cases, painting cases, piano cases, case tables, beauty couches, tables and chairs, etc., and there are rows of bookshelves against the wall. It's empty now, but Nangong Yue seems to have smelled the familiar fragrance of the book.
Several young ladies cleaned the study again. Bai Hui instructed several kings' wives to move in a large box of camphor wood. The big box was really heavy, and it lifted them up in no time. sweating a lot.A woman-in-law asked in a low voice curiously: "Girl Baihui, this box is so heavy, can it be that all the books cannot be completed?" But I thought to myself, with so many boxes, how many books should I have? Not so many books add up!
Bai Hui glanced at the woman lightly and said, "Go out after finishing things. Why do you ask so much?"
The mother-in-law only promised to go out with several other mother-in-laws, and she could hear the voices of the mother-in-law talking: "I heard that Princess Shizi is the first of the scholars, and it is really different from others! I actually married so many books. ."
"Yeah, so many books, can Princess Shizi finish it?"
"..."
It's really unruly!
Bai Hui shook his head, letting those voices go away, and then instructed the little ladies to open the box and take out a few boxes of medical books, medicine books, Lin Jingchen's medical notes, Nangong Yue's own thoughts and notes, and put them out of the stack.Nangong Yue personally sorted them into the largest bookshelf, and then let the maids help manage the bookshelves "University", "The Analects", "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records" and so on. Weird novels, wild history essays, etc.
According to Nangong Yue's preference, the book case was put on Duan Yan in Zhaoqing, Song Yan Mo-gu in the year-old tribute of Goryeo, and Hetian white jade pen washing.
After the entire small study room was tidied up, Nangong Yue placed the dowry medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet one by one.
Nangong Yue looked around with satisfaction. Although he was a little tired after a long day of work, he still had to look at where he was comfortable. Even if he had to work, he had to first create an environment that made him feel comfortable.
Nangong Yue, like her boudoir in Mozhuyuan in the past, lazily leaned on the beauty couch by the window of the small study room, and casually ordered the maids to bring the account book that Zhu Xing sent yesterday.
Not long afterwards, a few servants took over the account books, which were piled on the book case.
Nangong Yue was watching some headaches, and Lily blessed her body and said: "Concubine Shizi, Uncle Zhu Cai delivered the news to the palace."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. Although Xiao Yi planted people in the palace, the news was sent directly to the outer court unless it was related to her.
She glanced at Lily and saw that Lily was a little bit difficult to say, "...It was said that Princess II secretly left the palace two days ago, and it seemed that she was chasing after Shi Ziye."
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, her face unhappy.
The second princess's affection for Xiao Yi was so obvious, "If you know lust, you will admire Shaoai".
However, after Xiao Yi became a relative of herself, and even now she became a pro, the second princess still struggled with the married woman like that, it was simply shameless! Really thought that she couldn't make it?
Xiao Yi is her husband, how can you allow others to covet!
Nangong Yue didn't see a trace of emotions on her face. "Did the queen know?"
"The queen doesn't know yet," Lily replied. "Princess Zhang declared that the second princess is sick and needs to recuperate, suppressing the news. The third princess is quietly sending people to find the second princess."
Nangong Yue's lips were slightly hooked, and he sneered and said, "Tell Zhou Dacheng that people will have this idea revealed to the queen."
Lily responded and hurried out to order.
Nangong Yue waved her face slightly and asked Bai Hui and Queer to go to the account book first.
She took a sip of tea, opened the white roster of the royal palace given by Xiao Yi, and turned it up casually.
There are only fifty-eight servants and escorts in this huge Zhennan king's palace. This is almost incredible for Nangongyue, who was born in a famous family.
The roster has notes on the origins of these people.After reading it, Nangong Yue found that most of them were bought by Wang Fang, the princess of Zhennan, in the capital, and it has not been a few years since he came to the government; part of them are slaves and guards who are rewarded today; A small part was left in this royal palace for housekeeping and cleaning; and a small part was the manpower brought by King Zhennan and Xiao Fang from South Xinjiang, but this part was less than she expected. many.
Also, the people of Zhennan Wang and Xiaofang may not stay in Wangdu for a while. Letting them stay in Wangdu is probably the same as being exiled. Maybe there will be no day in his life.
At this moment, Queer suddenly whispered, "This is too ridiculous." She took the account book in her hand and showed it to Nangong Yue. "Three girls, the clothes worn by the people in this inner courtyard are all ready-made outside. I bought it in the shop..." She said that her mouth twitched. This place is like a royal house of a prince. This school is afraid that even the slightly wealthier merchants can't look down on them!
Nangong Yue glanced at random, judging from the number of those garments on the account, it really was the case.
That being said, there is another urgent matter in the past two days, that is to open the library and get the materials to make the autumn and winter clothes for the servants in the inner court first, and add the maid and the housemates who were married by her.
However, it's not too early. Let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow.
Nangong Yue yawned lazily, closed the roster, and let the young ladies go for a meal.
...
The next morning, there is no need for Nangong Yue to wake up, wash, dress, and eat in the morning and evening. Anyway, there are no elders in this house, and she is the biggest.
After everything was completed, Bai Hui asked: "Sister-in-law, when you have breakfast, Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song have already come, saying that they are going to please you, and the slave-servant sent you first. Let the grandmother and the grandmother bring the maid-in-law of the house to ask you for peace, so that you can recognize the person?" The little Fang is not there, and there is no hostess in the inner courtyard of the royal palace in Zhennan. Basically, everything in the inner court is managed by Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song.
Nangong Yue didn't want those irrelevant people to enter their yard, making them noisy, and said, "Let them go to the front hall."
"Yes, Princess of the World." Queer was ordered to go to work and wait for the thrush to return, saying that the girls and the girls had arrived, and Nangong Yue took An Niang and the picturesque girls, like the stars arching the moon Generally go to the main hall.
At this time, the sky outside was already bright.
The main hall of this inner courtyard is facing two doors, with blue bricks and white walls and red tiles, four doors with black paint across the door, two couplets hanging on the left and right walls, and a red gold Kowloon Greenland hanging on the front wall The plaque is written with three characters of Dou Da-"Wu Shou Tang".
These three large characters were inscribed by Xiandi.
The font is strong and strong, indomitable and magnificent.
A large red sandalwood carving case next to the large plaque, hanging on the table to be leaked with the large painting of the Molong Dynasty. On both sides are two marbled sandalwood wood Taishi chairs, which are thick and centered, elegant and chic, and the next two slips of 16 yellow pear wood chairs There is a small case between every two chairs.The ground is a marble floor shiny like a mirror.
What a magnificent hall!
Nangong Yue's gaze rested on the red sandalwood Taishi chair beside the Great Red Sandalwood Carving Case. This Taishi chair was originally a chair of the official family and was a symbol of power and status. Its design is designed to highlight the status and identity of the owner, suitable for tall and robust The man is suitable for an old lady like Jiwei who is very heavy like Su Shi, but not very suitable for Nangong Yue.
I saw her slender figure sitting up, and it seemed that the Taishi chair was empty. Not only did she not support her momentum, but also she was thin and pitiful.
The slave-servants waiting inside and outside the room quietly glanced at the princess who had just passed the door and secretly exchanged eyes.
The lady on the side hurriedly served her hot tea.
Nangong Yue took a sip of the hot tea and looked up. In the main hall, two middle-aged women of forty and fifty years old stood respectfully, a short, round face, which seemed a little sturdy, dressed in emerald blue Pigmented silk hangers; the other is not short, not fat, tall or thin, with a beautiful mole on the corner of the mouth, and a green parrot silk budgie.
Even if no one introduced it, Nangong Yue guessed that these two were Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song.
According to the records on the roster, the grandmother Zhang came out of the palace. It is said that it was given to the grandfather of Xiao Yi when the first emperor gave this mansion. Over the years, he has watched the house.She was the only one in the backyard until Xiao Fang's came to the capital, and she left a grandmother Song to help with the work.
Outside the main hall, rows of maid-in-laws stood in a mess, some straightened their waists, some hunched over, some whispered, and at first sight they were lazy and unmanned.
Queer stepped forward and blessed him, and introduced Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song to Nangong Yue.
Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song both took a step forward, respectfully blessing and saluting: "I have seen the princess of the world!" The two grandmothers just heard that the new housekeeper had met the princess of the world in the outer study, and later Fufeng The movement in the courtyard, guessing that the imperial concubine should start Zhongzhong Zhongfei, and thought of trying the imperial concubine's temperament.
This Fufengyuan is like an iron bucket. It is basically the maidservant who is the wife of the concubine. The maid in the house does at most some rough cleaning, not only the sprinkler wheel in the bedroom of the concubine. When they came to them, even when they were cleaning in the hall, some people were staring at it, and they couldn't see the princess of the world at all.
However, the two grandmothers retreated without difficulty, thinking that this dry road could not be reached, they took the waterway, they could not see the person of the princess of the world, they can also use the time of the kitchen to send meals to determine the time of the princess of the world. The two knew that Princess Shizi had just started breakfast, and ran to say that she would please her and wanted to see how Princess Shizi would respond.I didn't expect that the concubine's maid was so angry that she didn't report it and sent them lightly. It also made them wonder, and the majestic concubine could be seen as the master.
Therefore, although the two old ladies saw Nangong Yue looking at the young and charming Didi, they did not dare to make the order, and kept the kneeling posture until Nang Gong Yue signaled them to be courteous, and then stood up.
Grandma Song said first: "Originally, the old slave should have come to please Princess Shizi, but thinking of Princess Shizi's busyness in the past few days, she would not dare to bother you, and asked Princess Shizi to forgive her sins." "Princess Shige, the servants of the inner court are waiting outside the hall, leaving only the two gatekeepers who didn't come. Didn't they let them all come in and give him a bow?"
She smiled at Nangong Yue diligently, and she looked down and kneeled down, and Grandma Zhang on the side was not in a hurry.She sneered secretly and thought: This Grandma Song is the person brought by Princess Xiaofang, no matter how she behaves No matter how loyal, Princess Shizi could never trust her. No matter how much she did, she was just a blind lighter.
Nangong Yue glanced at Bai Hui, and Bai Hui said: "Let a few stewards come in, and the others will give a head to the concubine Shise outside, just let it go."
"Yes, concubine. The old slave is going to call someone." After answering the request, Grandma Song walked diligently outside the hall, and soon took four wives and two daughters in her 30s and 40s Came in.
And the rest of the people outside fell down on the blue stone slab floor, asked Nangong to kowtow, and then dispersed.
After Grandma Song brought the people into the hall, they introduced them one by one. This one usually manages the kitchen, this one is for the needle and thread, this one is for the cleaning, this one is for the purchase, this one is for the janitor, This is a pipe flower.
Afterwards, the six people also knelt and kowtowed, saluting in unison.
Nangong Yue did not tell them to get up, but instead told Queer: "Magic, call them."
they?
Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song were both startled. I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Nangong Yue Hulu.
Soon, they saw Queer leading three people in. One was a grandmother in her fifties, and the other two seemed to be young wives in their early thirties.
The two grandmothers and the others are psychologically stunned. Although they don't know the name of the person brought by Queer, they know that several of them are the accompaniment of the imperial concubine. Come to call, an idea suddenly appeared in their hearts...
But soon she rejected it in her heart, impossible? Even if the princess of the world must definitely put people in the house, she would not shoot directly as soon as she met? After all, she had just married in, she couldn’t do too much and spread it. Not good for her reputation...
They thought of it like this, and listened to Queer introduced with a smile: "These three are from Grandma Pan, Yu Dawei's family, and Wu Ran's family."
All three of them blessed Grandma Zhang and Grandma Song, it was considered a gift.
Followed by, Nangong Yue said slowly: "Later Pan Ma, Yu Dawei's family, and Wu Ran's family will take over the kitchen, janitor and purchase affairs!"
In a word, the six people in this church couldn't believe it, and three of the six kneeling on the ground raised their heads violently, there was shock and indignation, they had not dared to speak out, and Grandma Song had jumped He got up and said, "Why is the concubine Shige? Although they can't say anything about their achievements in the past three days, they haven't made any big mistakes. They have no hard work and no hard work. How can they take people's errands for nothing? ?"
After a brief shock, Grandma Zhang returned to peace immediately.
As the saying goes: the new official takes three fires, anyway, this fire of the princess Shizai has little effect on himself.Since Grandma Song came to the capital more than four years ago, she has taken away the kitchen, purchase and needles from her own hands.The kitchen and purchase are huge oil and water.If you are plugged into the concubine, Song What other benefits does Grandma have? It means that Grandma Song’s backyard management is nothing more than an empty vacancy.As for myself, I just missed a janitor.
After figured it out, Grandma Zhang laughed ironically in her heart, thinking that she expected it to be true, the Princess of the World and the Princess Fang were destined to be natural enemies, how could the Princess of the World be able to handle the kitchen and the purchase of Grandma Song Important errand!
Grandma Zhang thought about it more and more and felt that Princess Shizi must have considered it carefully. The gatekeeper is optional for him, but for Princess Shizi, it is naturally the top priority to guard the gate of this inner courtyard. , There must not be a little sloppy!
Since this concubine is well-known, he still waits to watch a good show.
Nangong Yue glanced at Grandma Song lightly, still not arrogant and said, "I am a concubine of the world, if I want to mobilize staff, would I have to agree with Grandma Song? Then today if I want to transfer Grandma Song to die Grandpa Zhuangzi in Tangshan, Grandma Song, are you going or not?"
Grandma Song's old face flushed in an instant, and she slammed her chest in one breath.Isn't this concubine threatening her failure? Grandma Song almost didn't breathe up, and Wai Qiangzhong said dryly: "Concubine, old... Old slave is a person appointed by the princess himself!"
Nangong Yue hooked the corner of her mouth, seeming to laugh with a smile: "Song Ma'am, the concubine has always been caring and considerate of the world. If you know that Zhuangzi of the world is unattended, she will be willing to send her to help the world. Now the mother is in a thousand miles. In addition, I am not convenient to ask for instructions, then let me decide, and let my grandma pass."
Without her command, Bai Hui had ordered two big, thick, round wives to come forward and clamped down on Grandma Song one by one.
"you……"
Grandma Song still wanted to shout, but Lily was already stuffed in the mouth with a rag, so kicked and pulled out.
Several mother-in-laws kneeling on the ground looked at each other secretly, and their heads were all big.
Since the princess left, this house is the world's largest, Xiao Yi. They of course want to run a power run, trample others down, so that they can start their own lives, but they can only ignore the world, and simply lock the inner courtyard. They were locked up like jail, and they were not allowed to enter or leave except for buying on weekdays.
Shizi didn't discuss it here. They thought they might not have a hope for this hard life. They didn't expect the emperor to marry Shizi so quickly.
Originally, they still thought that when the princess of the world entered the door, the inner courtyard did not have to be locked. They could finally "get out of jail", they could let go of their hands and feet, and show their magical powers, but they did not want this young unconscionable princess to act. It was even more violent than Shizi. When Shizi was there, he hid from seeing them; as soon as Shizi left, he revealed the true face of Lushan. How can this ordinary newlyweds just marry in? , And then blatantly inserted his dowry, even the grandma of Song Fu, who has always been majestic, was suppressed in the blink of an eye, and ended in exile!
This is obviously killing chickens and monkeys, everyone else is silent, and a cold sweat comes from the forehead.
Doesn’t it mean that the concubine is the daughter-in-law of the Nangong family? The girl brought up by the Shilin family shouldn’t be sloppy and handsome.
Nangong Yue looked at the reactions of several people in the hall, but she didn't laugh.
