Chun Pi bit her lip, Ji Man passed her and saw Liu Hanyun who was pale on the bed.
"It's cold, and the other maids are also afraid of being cold, so they didn't come to serve." Liu Hanyun coughed twice and sat up, leaning against the bedside and said, "Why are you here, madam?"
Ji Man will put it next to her bed, and the nanny behind her will also hug Xi'er and put her down. The two milk dolls also seemed to be a little frozen, and their eyes widened, while Xi'er cried directly with her mouth flattened.
"I remembered that I haven't come to see you for a long time, so I happened to bring the child with me." Ji Man's expression was not very good, and he turned to Deng Xin and said, "Call me all the servants of Ling Han Yuan to stand in the courtyard."
The wick answered and went away, Xia Shi still stamped her feet in the room, and said loudly: "Then why Aunt Zheng lied to me that the order is high and low, look at this poor thing, there are three stoves in my room, She's fine here, there's no one. How about I get someone to bring two of them here later?"
Liu Hanyun picked Xi'er up, patted and coaxed her lightly, looked at Xia Shi one more time, and said with a wry smile: "No, I have some here, but they took them away."
"Who took it?" Ji Man's face darkened.
Liu Hanyun hesitated for a while, and Chun Pi beside him said quickly: "Aren't they those women in the yard? Because they are relatives of the maids in the master's house, they said that they are afraid of the cold when they are old, so they turned the stove in the master's house I took it all away. There are also a few other maids who dare to gossip behind their backs, saying that the master has a daughter who has suffered bad luck and will never stand up for the rest of his life."
Ji Man pursed her lips, although it is common to see high and low in the big yard, but Liu Hanyun is also someone under the protection of Lord Hou, but during this time, Lord Hou and her have no time to come and see her, so everyone in the yard Dare to turn the sky upside down
"Master, everyone has already yelled." Dim Wick came in with a serious face and reported, seeing that she had just yelled at someone. Ji Man nodded, got up and walked outside the house.
There were four house slaves scattered in the yard, two women and two maidservants, standing reluctantly, their legs trembling.
Seeing Ji Man, the woman in the lead laughed, and came up to her and shouted, "Second Miss."
She really is from the Nie Mansion. Nie Chenyu came here to be a concubine, and the maidservants took quite a few of them. Unfortunately, her status is not that high, so many house slaves were assigned to other places.
Although Ji Man couldn't remember who she was in front of her, she knew that she must not be from the same place, seeing the ingratiating smile on her face and the eyes that she didn't like very much.
"It's your rule to call anyone who is married Miss?" Ji Man asked lightly.
The woman choked, her smile faded, she took a step back and called out: "Ma'am."
"I thought it was the servants of the Hou's mansion who were so ignorant, so it's fine to punish them." Ji Man looked at her and said, "You were thrown from Nie's mansion to Hou's mansion directly, and those who didn't know thought it was from the Nie's mansion." Masters like this don’t know how to discipline their servants, and they don’t even know how to serve them.”
The old woman was quite dissatisfied, and she said back: "The servant girl is with the third lady. Who knows that she is assigned to such a deserted courtyard. When winter comes, she will ask for charcoal and no one will give it. It is not as good as serving the third lady. I know how far it is."
Dim Wick raised his eyebrows: "I've only heard of masters picking slaves, but never of slaves despising masters. Aunt Yun has such a good temper. You are lucky to have chosen you to serve, but you can still say such stupid words?"
The woman hummed weakly and muttered: "Miss San has been favored now, why don't Madam raise her position and send the maid back to her by the way?"
Ji Man smiled: "You don't want to serve Master Yun, do you?"
The old woman glanced at her and nodded.
"Okay, pack your bags." Ji Man waved his hand.
The mother-in-law was overjoyed and quickly bowed: "Thank you, madam!"
Seeing this, the maidservants at the side also begged: "The servants don't want to serve Master Yun either."
"It's fine." Ji Man smiled slightly: "Just go clean up."
All the servants cheered and hurried back to their respective rooms to pack their things. Deng Xin looked at the sneer on his master's face, pursed his lips and said, "Slaves, go and arrange some sensible maidservants to come to Linghan Courtyard."
"Go."
After the four maids cleaned up, Steward Qian stood at the gate of Linghan Courtyard. Ji Man smiled at him and said, "Housekeeper Qian, let's send these four people to the backyard to wash clothes. It's cold, and those who can do laundry There are also few maids."
They were still in high spirits at first, but when they heard this, the faces of the four of them changed. Steward Qian was also taken aback: "Madam...this..."
"Master Hou asked me to take good care of Han Yun. It was my negligence. Why did I let these people take care of me?" Ji Man smiled and looked at Steward Qian and said, "If Master Hou blames me, I can't afford it. To prevent these things Bullying the master behind his back can only serve as a warning to others, are you right?"
Steward Qian paused, nodded, and called the servant to come in, and took the four maids away.
"Ma'am! Ma'am, please forgive me!" When they were dragged away, several people begged with horror on their faces.
Chun Pi was next to Ji Man, with a relieved expression on his face: "Finally, we have dealt with these abominable things, just because Master Yun has a good heart, it's fine if he doesn't serve you, and he dares to rob master's things."
Ji Man returned to the room, looked at Liu Hanyun with a sigh and said, "I was wronged, why didn't I know that Chunpi came to find me?"
"It's not a big grievance. When I was a maid, I lived like this in winter." Liu Hanyun said with a wry smile.
Chun Pi pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "It's not because that grandma belongs to your younger sister. The master is afraid of offending, so he didn't even dare to reprimand him."
Nie Chenyu is very beautiful now, and even the maids she brought here are all showing off their might.
Ji Man chuckled, shook his head and said, "A younger sister is a younger sister, rules are rules, and I won't favor her a single bit. In the future, if something like this happens, just come to me, and I'll make the decision for you."
Liu Hanyun smiled and nodded, still hugging Xi'er. Xi'er stopped crying, and was coaxed directly to sleep by her.
"That's strange." Ji Man blinked at the little guy: "I coax him for a long time every day before he falls asleep, but now you just coax him to sleep."
Liu Hanyun smiled and said: "There are many ways to coax a child. Look at Yun'er, it's not easy to worry about, but with Chun Pi coaxing her, she won't cry or fuss."
Ji Man looked at the radiance of a loving mother on her body, and felt that a mother-in-law is the most charming. Is Ning Yuxuan a bit short-sighted and astigmatism recently, that's why he likes Nie Chenyu's style
In the evening, the snow stopped and it was still cold outside. Ji Man learned that Ning Yuxuan was planning to go to Luoyanxuan again today, so he put on a cloak and hugged Yun'er, waiting on the road.
"What are you doing?" Ning Yuxuan approached and saw such a person, and said angrily, "Are you pretending to be a ghost?"
Ji Man held Yun'er in his arms, and sighed, "If Master Hou couldn't see anyone during the day, would this concubine be stuck here? How long has it been since you went to see Han Yun?"
Mo Yuhou walked up to her and stopped, looked at Yun'er, reached out to take it and said, "Speaking of which, it's been a while."
"I went to see it today. There is no stove in the room, and Han Yun's face is also pale." Ji Man reached out and touched Yun'er's face and said, "Even if it is a daughter, it is your own blood, so thin like this , not half the age of Xi'er, don't you feel distressed when you see it?"
Jun'er didn't know if it was born or what, but she was small and looked very pitiful.
Mo Yuhou's eyes softened a little, and he pursed his lips and said, "You stopped me halfway because you want me to go to Linghan Courtyard? Are you not afraid that your sister will be angry?"
Ji Man shrugged: "I'm used to being a bad person, Lord Hou, change your ways quickly, otherwise others will bully Han Yun to death, and you'll have to blame me for dragging her into trouble."
Ning Yuxuan nodded slightly, took a look at her, and turned around to go to Linghan Courtyard.
Ji Man touched his chin and thought, generally speaking, a man mainly likes a person, and if that person asks him to favor other women, shouldn't he be unhappy and arrogant and arrogant? Even now, Mo Yuhou still doesn't like her? No, sometimes I clearly feel that there is a little affection, but I can't see it clearly.
Lower your head and draw circles in the snow, how long is the road to revolution...
Ning Mingjie had already quietly left the Hou's mansion, and when Ji Man saw him again, it was at the banquet in the palace two days later.
Ning Yuxuan specially ordered two new sets of dresses to be hurriedly made. The robe and long skirt with dark purple embroidered edges were a couple's style. One set was sent to Ji Man, asking her to dress up and go to the banquet with her.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as couple costumes. It is estimated that there are too many people at the banquet, and they are afraid that they will lead the wrong wife, so my family members are all of the same color.
Regarding this banquet, only the wife can go, so the people in the mansion are very unhappy. As soon as Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man left, the house began to toss. Of course, this will be discussed later.
Ji Man sat very upright, and with the purple dress, it made people feel very postured. Everyone you meet along the way always smiles, even if you don't know them at all.
The eldest prince has already left the clan's mansion and passed the stage of thinking about past mistakes, but he is not as beautiful as he was when he was a prince, but he is still smiling, seeing Ji Man from a distance, and smiling.
Ji Man didn't have a good impression of this man, and when he turned around, he saw his cousin again.
The third prince was very proud recently, the emperor pointed out a princess from the feudal kingdom to him as the concubine, and the imperial concubine continued to pave the way for him. It is estimated that the third prince will firmly take the throne of the prince in a short time.
"My cousin is living a good life, so I feel relieved seeing it." The third prince smiled.
Ji Man laughed along, as if seeing a client.
The princes and princesses came and went, and Ji Man couldn't tell who was who, but there was one person who stood out because he was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, wearing a golden crown, and wearing a blue four-clawed dragon robe.
"That's the second prince." Ning Yuxuan looked into her eyes and said lightly: "Don't look too much."
