Xu Changan's father stayed in Beijing after high school twenty years ago. After he became the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple more than ten years ago, there was no movement. Today, the whole family still lives in Xu Changan's mother when he first got married. Inside the house.
Knowing that today is the day of returning home, even if everyone in the Xu family is unwilling, they have already waited at the door early in the morning. I hoped and hoped, but I didn't want people to come and didn't dare to leave. It was easy to see the carriage of the palace coming, but I didn't know whether they were happy or unhappy on their faces.
"My minister Xu Yongnian's family sees His Highness Xian Wang, and Xian Wangfei." The Xu family's family bowed down without hesitation, but not so willingly. They are ministers, and King Xian is the king. It is natural to see King Xian, but today is King Xian taking the son of the Xu family back home. It is said that even if they meet the ceremony, they are just pretending, and King Xian should be exempted. How can they really get down on their knees.
"Master Xu, please get up." Xian Wang Xiao Qingyan not only did not excuse everyone, but instead glanced at the kneeling people with interest, and let them get up.
In fact, it's not surprising that Xiao Qingyan is curious. There are dozens of family members in this small fourth-rank official's family. This Xu Yongnian is a foreigner. He has no foundation in Beijing, and he is not powerful in the court. I'm afraid I can't afford to support this family at all.
King Xian finally got up and got up. Even if Xu Yongnian was dissatisfied, he could only have a smile on his face. He took advantage of Xiao Qingyan to walk forward, and glared at his son who had been silent all the time. Straight back: "Father, be careful with your words and deeds. This is what you said to your child, why did you forget it yourself."
Xu Yongnian was stunned at first, then startled and scared. He quickly took a look at Xiao Qingyan with a guilty conscience, and found that Xiao Qingyan didn't respond. Then he got angry and thought about someday he must find an excuse to let this little beast come back. Teach him a lesson.
This trip was not what Xiao Qingyan wished, it was just to block the mouth of the caring people and had to go. As soon as he entered the Xu mansion and brought something, Xiao Qingyan wanted to leave, but after about a cup of tea, the two Went away on the excuse that something happened.
Xiao Qingyan did not regard Xu Yongnian as his father-in-law from the moment he entered the door. Xu Yongnian naturally did not dare to take the air. They were leaving, so the Xu family naturally followed them and hurried to see them off. After the carriage of the palace was finally out of sight, Xu Yongnian suddenly lost his appearance as a scholar.
"I thought you were alienated from outsiders, but it's your nature." Xiao Qingyan saw Xu Changan's appearance towards Xu's family today. It turned out that Xu Changan was born with a cold temper. The family members also seem to have nothing to do with them.
"My mother... didn't die of illness." I don't know why I could say it to him, and what I said was peaceful and smooth, as if he was talking about the side dishes he liked on weekdays, but Xiao Qingyan next to him sat down. Straightening his body, he cast an inquiring look at him.
"I made the prince laugh." Only after I said that I knew I regretted it, but I couldn't put it on my face, I could only pretend to be rude and smile apologetically.
Taking back the scrutinizing eyes, Xiao Qingyan didn't say a word, and the two of them never spoke again, only when Xu Changan in the palace was about to go back to his yard, was Xiao Qingyan stopped him.
"Go to the front room."
"Yes, my lord." Going to the front hall with Xiao Qingyan, it must be to let this princess see everyone in the palace. Xu Changan knew that this princess would have an end, and it wouldn't be too long, so it didn't matter to the woman in the back house that she was obsessed with the housekeeping power. But now that Xiao Qingyan is interested, he accepts it, so that he can live comfortably, why bother to look for Qishou? With Xiao Qingyan's admission, at least in the future, in this palace, no one can be angry with him except Xiao Qingyan.
"The slave (slave) has seen the princess."
"Get up." As expected, he saw the servants of the palace and asked them to recognize their other master. Xu Changan was naturally happy to see Xiao Qingyan's arrangement, but why did Xiao Qingyan do it, he couldn't figure it out, didn't Xiao Qingyan dislike him
Could it be that he did the same as accompanying him back to the door yesterday, just to block the crowd outside
The so-called cutting grass and rooting, although Xiao Qingyan is no longer qualified to inherit the line, but he is the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest prince of the royal family, and he will always be a threat to others one day.
"This king still has something to do, you can do it yourself here."
"Yes, my lord." Xu Changan felt much more at ease after sending Xiao Qingyan away. Before Xu Changan could speak, the butler stepped forward and said, "Princess, the old servant of the account book of the palace will send it to the princess later. The old slave is here. After a while, the old slave will take the princess to the warehouse to count the things.
What's more, the prince does not have a concubine with a name, but there are two concubines sent by the palace when the prince was an adult. Would you like to meet the prince? "It's just that if the maid of the concubine has no name, she is not qualified to serve tea to the princess and be recognized by the concubine, but Xiao Qingyan only has these two concubines now, so the housekeeper naturally wants to talk about it.
"Call me here." Xu Changan wanted to meet Xiao Qingyan's woman even if she didn't have a name. Xiao Qingyan has followed him since he was an adult. It has been several years. Xiao Qingyan has not sent them away for so many years. He must have liked them. He also happened to see what kind of woman Xiao Qingyan likes. Should he find two concubines for Xiao Qingyan to come back, it seems that It is the wife's duty to help her husband find a woman.
"By the way, yesterday, His Highness conferred the king. This is a great event, and the whole mansion will be rewarded. The housekeeper, for a while, all the capable maids and stewards in the house will be rewarded 10 taels of silver each, and the rest will each receive 5 taels. Go back, let everyone go to collect the reward, and then bring the prince's two-way room to see me." This happened suddenly, and Yang Mama didn't give any instructions beforehand, Xu Changan didn't know if he did the right thing, but I probably remember that when Liu's son was born, his father gave this reward once, but the amount was far from what he just said. Xu Mansion couldn't compare to the Royal Mansion, so there should be no problem with the reward he just received.
If Xu Changan held too much, it would be a big deal to go with the thought of sticking a cloth. He was afraid that he would make the family unhappy at the beginning. Although he was a princess, he left the necessities of life to the people in the house. They liked him. It's better than blaming yourself.
Everyone in the mansion is really happy. Generally, the servants of the palace are all domestic servants, and there are many people. Every time the reward is to manage the affairs, it is at most that five taels of silver, and the people below are only two taels. Now the status of the palace is The lowest servant can get five taels of silver, so naturally everyone is happy.
They put aside the manhood of the new princess. They only said that the princess was kind and generous, and she was a good master, and she would serve her wholeheartedly in the future.
Xiao Qingyan's two maids, one named Ziyue and the other named Ziyan, mostly came from the palace, and the names were also given by the master of the palace.
"The slave has seen the princess."
"Get up." The two of them kowtowed to Xu Changan together. Xu Changan was not good at dealing with women, and he didn't plan to keep them any longer. He asked them to come here just to reward them with something else.
"It's not so convenient for me to serve the prince as a man. You should worry more about the prince's place on weekdays." Women only like gold and silver jewelry and beautiful clothes. Xu Changan rewarded the two of them a lot, and finally asked the two of them. thing.
Although the two were surprised by the frankness of the princess, they were able to frankly admit that their identity was not good for sleeping, but this was not what the two of them cared about, so they happily took the reward back.
Xu Changan's series of actions would naturally be reported to Xiao Qingyan. At the end, the housekeeper did not know whether his master was satisfied or dissatisfied with the princess. The master showed no expression and did not express his opinion. It seems that he should not be dissatisfied. Then I have to be careful with the princess in the future.
