The Lofty Fierce Consort - Chapter 128
Most of the servants in the Four Princes’ Mansion are marginal figures in the palace, and they are sent to this equally unwelcome Four Prince’s Mansion if they cannot be seen in the palace.
Together, these people will inevitably feel a little unhappy in their hearts and feel that the future is dark. After staying in the Four Princes’ Mansion for a long time, I can still stay somewhat comfortable. In any case, it is quiet, clean, and free of disputes. Naturally, it is not comparable to a place where people die at every turn in the palace.
I’m used to the leisure time, and over time everyone likes this place. The master is not a mean, and now he is not in the house. As long as you follow the rules and do what you should do well, no one will criticize you. This place is like a paradise without any disputes.
Yan Yan’s companion house and dowry entered the Fourth Prince’s Mansion on the day of her wedding. Although the Fourth His Royal Highness and the princes and concubines lived in the palace, these people also settled in the palace.
The governor-in-chief of the mansion, Xi Gonggong, was a person who didn’t talk much, and after arranging Yan Yan’s dowry to the Zhengyuan Yanran, he left it alone. Since someone came to tell them about the rules of the house, Zou’s mother was deliberate. Yan Yan was her dowry when she got married. At this moment, she presided over Yanran to take care of her in an orderly manner.
The servants in the four prince’s mansion are very polite to the dowry of the prince and concubine. If nothing else, you can understand the position of the prince and concubine in the eyes of the prince and concubine. If you don’t want to die, just be honest. Anyway, they are. These marginal figures are in the marginal zone again, how can they really fight for one, two, three?
Therefore, the four princes’ mansion is now in harmony.
On this day, I heard that the four princes and concubines were going back to the mansion. The mansion was ready to open early, and Yan Ran was also very excited about it.
Naturally, some people heard that the four princes and couples were driven out of the palace, and the people in the house were shocked. There is a little girl in Yanranyuan who is anxious, and the elderly in the mansion will comfort them. This is nothing. I think that our Highness was expelled from the palace when he was more than ten years old, plus this is the third time. Don’t be afraid. , Don’t be afraid!
I don’t know how Luo Huaiyuan would react if he knew that the subordinates in the mansion would be so arrogant to him.
Not long after, Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan’s chariots arrived at the gate.
Due to a whim, Luo Huaiyuan prepared to take Yan Yan to take her to visit the Four Princes’ Mansion. The car wheel packed with luggage entered through the West Point Gate, and the two were accompanied by Meixiang Xiaoanzi and a few others to prepare to stroll around the house. There was originally a father-in-law Xi, Luo Huaiyuan saw this old man looking like a dead man, and waved him to retreat.
After Xi Gonggong bowed down quickly, his legs and feet were not as good as his age should be. Yan Yan was still thinking about how the chief **** in the mansion was such an old eunuch. Seeing this, she was shocked.
“Don’t pay attention to the old man, he is just a pretender.”
The father-in-law Xi who was far away was unsteady, and a little **** beside him hurriedly gave him a hand, and the two disappeared in front of everyone.
“You are used to speaking badly.” Yan Yan scolded him.
He licked his fat face and smiled: “I told Yanyan what I like to hear.”
Yan Yan gave him a scorn, and walked forward, he hurriedly followed.
The entire Four Princes Mansion covers an area of more than 80 acres, and it is not enough according to the rules of the princes, but the inner city is such a large area, which can give the Four Princes mansion such a large position, which is already considered good.
The whole mansion is divided into two parts, the front is the outer courtyard, which is the place where men handle foreign affairs and entertain guests. This place is extremely large, and the layout is majestic without losing the atmosphere. In the middle is a long bluestone slab road with two symmetrical rows outside. The study, on the outside are rows of inverted seats and yards for handling debris, and on the outside are the stables and carriage houses.
After passing the outer door, you will arrive at a wide and bright conference hall, which is equipped with a conservatory, penthouse and back cover room, a tea room, etc., and there are large and small flower halls and waiting rooms, covering a very large area.
Go inside the inner court, and then the inner courtyard.
The scenery of the inner courtyard is completely different from that of the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is dominated by majesty and simplicity, and there are almost no flowerbeds. Only the tall and tall trees are decorated, while the inner courtyard is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, which can be seen everywhere.
Passing a corridor paved with pebbles of various colors, oncoming five halls with heavy eaves and flying overhangs, three large characters “Xianyuntang” written with three dragons flying and phoenix on the plaque in front of the hall.
This fat man really didn’t advertise his mindset of being idle and wild, and he didn’t know that some people couldn’t understand it. Whether others understand or not, Yan Yan understands anyway, and she can’t help but laugh. Juyin’s writing in those large characters is so clumsy that even Yan Yan, a person who doesn’t know how to calligraphy, shook his head when he looked at it.
On the left side of Xianyun Hall, there is a cross courtyard, which is Luo Huaiyuan’s inner study.
Yan Yan had been there, and Luo Huaiyuan lived here before his wedding.
On the right side is a side hall and hallway, passing through hallway, separated by a cobblestone corridor and a hanging flower door, it is a seven-room seven-frame main courtyard, on both sides there are three penthouses and wing rooms, three stacks of front and back embracing the mansion and covering the house. It is magnificent, carved with beams and painted buildings, and written in three big characters “Yan Ranju”.
These three characters were naturally written by Luo Huaiyuan, and Yan Yan didn’t make a sound when he saw that he was content to look at the large characters in gold.
Mother Zou and others were already greeted, all crouching as a gift.
“I have seen the Four Highnesses, I have seen the princes and concubines.”
“Okay, get up all the time.”
Now that they arrived at Yanranju, the two didn’t plan to go back anymore. Yan Yan was fine. The key was that Luo Huaiyuan didn’t have enough physical strength.
The two entered the house, and a line of maids came up to wait for them to change the clothes they wore in the house and changed into comfortable shoes.
“Do you like it? We will live here in the future!”
Luo Huaiyuan was referring to this Yanranju.
The layout of this Yanran is extremely exquisite, and the elegant furnishings reveal low-key luxury. The main hall is composed of three open rooms, the east second room is the living room, and the back is a very spacious bedroom, and the west is the study room and the warm pavilion. The decoration is Yan Yan’s favorite simple and refreshing type, and Luo Huaiyuan’s early work is indispensable, and of course the careful decoration of Zou’s mother and others is also indispensable.
Suddenly coming to a place that people and things are very familiar with, Yan Yan feels refreshed and happy from the bottom of her heart. Although no one held her in the Xianyun Palace these days, she just felt depressed. The eyebrows flew up to the extent that they could be seen, and Luo Huaiyuan couldn’t help but feel very good.
After lunch, the two went out for a walk.
Going out from the corner door at the back of Yanran Residence is connected to a hall, and in the past is a big flower hall. Just after the cold winter, it was still a bit cold outside. Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan just walked on the porch for a while before returning to the house to have a rest.
Yan Yan has the habit of taking a nap, but it’s a pity that there is someone around her. When it is like sleeping but not sleeping, it feels that someone is making trouble with irregular hands and feet. She moved inside, but the man also moved over. It’s too big, like a mountain, with a strong sense of oppression.
Yan Yan didn’t want to talk to him, knowing that once he was dealt with, it would be endless, so she simply pretended to sleep. Who knows that there is no lower limit for that person, and she will not let it go when she falls asleep, and untie her shirt. The speed was extremely fast. Before she could react, she was only removed from the bedclothes. The **** were hung on her thighs, and she was being pulled down.
Yan Yan opened her eyes and saw no one. There was a big bag curled up in the brocade quilt. She wanted to lift him up and give him a beating. Would you like to be so wretched? Just thinking about it, the other party kissed the key point very accurately, and one shivered, and his toes couldn’t help but curl up.
“Fatty man, you are enough…” The voice trembled astonishingly.
No one paid attention to her, and saw the quilt squirming constantly, as if there was a silkworm chrysalis in it.
Yan Yan’s cheeks fired, her eyes blurred, and she couldn’t help it for a while. Seeing that the dead man hadn’t gotten into the topic yet, he couldn’t help but lift him up, pressed him to the bed, and rode on.
Luo Huaiyuan let out a beautiful admiration, Yan Yan glared at him fiercely, stretched out one hand to cover his mouth, and the other hand supported his arm and moved with force.
Luo Huaiyuan looked aggrieved, and his heart was beautiful.
Oh, too domineering, but Lun’s family is being strengthened…
…
Listening to the discordant sounds in the room, the little girls outside looked different.
These little girls are Yan Yan’s dowry. They are not very old, and Fang is twelve or thirteen years old. How can you ever see such a formation? Seeing a few sisters as steady as Mount Tai, an ignorant little girl couldn’t help but asked with anxious expression: “But the lady and your highness quarreled?”
Mei Xiang, who was sorting out the Bogu frame, flushed suddenly, and screamed: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
The little girl named Lan’er, thin and thin, looks quite beautiful, frowned and said with a frown: “It is said that our mothers are very good at martial arts. Could it be a fight? Shall we go in and stop, my dad and My mother often fights with the door closed.”
This girl is a child born from Zhenguo Gongfu, and she has long been famous to Girl Yan. When Yan Yan got married, she was sent here because she was afraid that the dowry maid would not be enough.
Evian wanted to help her forehead, wanted to curse, but couldn’t speak, she could only blush and scolded: “Don’t talk nonsense, our wife and your highness are in a good relationship. This is, this is… Oh, you will Understand, don’t be too curious.”
Some of these young maidservants were sent from the town government office, and some were the dowry maids who Shen Yiyao tuned/teached for their daughters. Mei Xiang is not young anymore, maybe she will marry sometime, Evian Yimeng is smaller than Mei Xiang, but not far away from her marriage, so these maids are young, but the rules are extremely high. OK, let a few people carry it, and it will work well in the future.
In these few, some do not understand, some seem to understand but not understand. Understandably pulled the one who didn’t understand to the side and whispered, Mei Xiang heard a thin line, “Don’t talk nonsense, this is our Majesty who loves the mother.” Seeing a few small faces of immature girls, or nodding or blushing silently, the corners of Meixiang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
I was still a little bit pungent by the dream, and whispered: “Don’t talk about the master in private, go and tell the girl outside to prepare hot water, and it will be delivered later.”
A few in his line hurriedly shrunk their necks and withdrew.
The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and if nothing had happened, they continued to do their own things, as if they didn’t hear the movement of the back room.
After dinner, when I was free, Luo Huaiyuan told Yan Yan about the general situation of the Four Princes’ Mansion.
Now Luo Huaiyuan does not have a title, so he can’t build a mansion, and he doesn’t have any private property on the bright side. All expenses are allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The chief in charge of the mansion is the father-in-law Xi, and there are the eunuchs at all levels and the palace officials in charge of the eunuchs of the palaces, and these people are responsible for the operation of the entire four prince palace. Of course there are exceptions, and that is the people around Yan Yan. The people she married here are not under the jurisdiction of the mansion, but they must abide by the rules of the mansion. Going deeper, these people can be regarded as the direct descendants of Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan.
Of course, this situation will be greatly improved when the four princes are given titles and entrusted to the feudal vassal. Now the people in the palace are arranged by the palace, and it is inevitable that dragons and snakes are mixed. However, judging from the current situation, they are still considered safe. Of course, this situation is not necessarily true. Anfen is that Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan did not live in the mansion before. As for the future, no one knows.
The reason why Luo Huaiyuan said this to Yan Yan was to tell her to let her subordinates take care of Yanran, and leave it to Grandpa Xi without taking care of other places. Just like he lived in the mansion before, just keep a few important places, and leave the other places as convenient as possible.
Xi Gonggong was ‘poisoned’ before, which can be trusted, but it doesn’t mean that the people under his hands are also trustworthy. After all, people’s hearts are separated by the belly. It is better to be more cautious before leaving Beijing.
After that, Luo Huaiyuan pulled out a box from under the bed and threw a key to Yan Yan, saying that all his belongings are here, and now he is in charge of his wife.
Yan Yan went to open the box and saw that it was full of stacks of silver bills, and countless gold and silver ingots, as well as gems of various colors and all kinds of Yan Yan. The so-called Western stuff in Huaiyuan’s mouth.
There were also a few books, and Yan Yan flipped through it casually. The handwriting in it was so ugly that she didn’t know anything about it.
She raised the account book in her hand, and Luo Huaiyuan, who was lying on the couch, squinted and smiled: “Well, although there is a treasury, I also kept an account privately, such as where I invested how much money and collect it. How much money has been spent, etc. This is what I remembered for myself, and I will tell you the next day. Look at the banknotes, do you find that your husband I am rich?” He looked proud of offering treasures.
Yan Yan glanced at him, then lowered her head to sort out the contents inside.
I haven’t seen such a person. Everything is piled up in a box and messed up. But let alone, Yan Yan’s eyesight shows that the fat man is quite rich, and it is estimated that they will have enough for both of them in a few lifetimes. These things are naturally not suitable for outsiders to organize. She wondered how long it would take for herself to organize them.
Luo Huaiyuan has a lot of business in various places, and Yan Yan also knows. Seeing that he is usually mysterious, he has a clear sense of everything. At this moment, seeing his accounts in a mess, Yan Yan realized that it was actually a fake.
“You haven’t set up a chief accountant for so many businesses? How many of your staff are in charge, and what are they responsible for? Is there any chief accountant?”
Luo Huaiyuan was embarrassed by this. He hesitated a few words, then took Yan Yan to the couch, interrupted to say that this matter will be discussed tomorrow, and go to bed now.
As expected by Yan Yan, Luo Huaiyuan’s accounts were indeed messed up.
He has been involved in all walks of life, including food and beverages, silver shops for jewelry, shops selling all kinds of gadgets, and many restaurants and inns under his name, all of which are new businesses in recent years. Of course, they are also indispensable. The textile factory in Fuzhou and the advancement of merchant ships.
For these kinds of businesses, most of his methods of dealing with things are to set up a supervisor. The commission system and the system of rewards and punishments are implemented, and then the subordinates operate it. On weekdays, the reconciliation and payment of dividends are managed by the stewards, who supervise each other and form a good system model. However, he never looked at the ledger that was handed in, as long as the business was profitable, the amount of money and the correct amount on the ledger would be enough.
This kind of treatment makes Yan Yan, who has studied butler management of business, extremely intolerable. His method is indeed very effective, but if someone makes a mistake, for example, the person below knows that the person above is a person who doesn’t look at the accounts, then wait for the collusion of the greedy bonus.
So on the second day of returning home, Yan Yan started to get busy and asked Luo Huaiyuan to take out all the account books of the past few years, and let her take a look at it slowly. The other thing is to gather all the stewards to meet, which is equivalent to telling everyone that they will change their heads. If there is anything in the future, report it to the hostess.
In fact, Luo Huaiyuan seems chaotic and not stupid. Due to his identity and difficulty in showing himself up, many of his businesses are done in partnership with others.
Among them, the main cooperation partner is the government of the town and country. The two have made a lot of money together in recent years. The government of the township government will send someone out for experience and management in private, and he only spends money on it. But for some unknown reason, he also did a lot of business alone, such as well-informed places such as wine shops and inns.
What Yan Yan saw was in charge of this type of business.
Choosing a suitable day, he brought all the duties to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
Only then did these treasurers know that Dongjia is the four princes and concubines, and Luo Huaiyuan is usually too mysterious. He never showed up in front of these people in the past, and he left it to his henchmen to handle it, so these people only knew The owner is mysterious, but does not know his identity.
Seeing this, Yan Yan, who was sitting across the screen, admitted it in a big way. She said that she used to show up in the boudoir, but wanted to earn some powder and silver, so she handed over the business to her subordinates.
I don’t want to mention what the few treasurers think about it. The meeting went smoothly. I couldn’t tell whether it was a loyal or a traitor. Yan Yan had to check the account book in her hand.
While she was busy, Yan Yan went back to her family’s home. This was the first time she went back to her family’s home since that day.
Yan Yan did not notify the Weiyuan Hou Mansion in advance, nor did she show a ceremonial ceremonial. Instead, she went back to Weiyuan Hou Mansion with just a few Mei Xiang.
However, after going back, she found something extremely annoying to her.
Seeing that the third girl had returned, the servants in the mansion welcomed her in respectfully, and sent someone to inform the Jinse Court.
When Yan Yan arrived, Shen Yiyao was already sitting in the hall and waiting.
Seeing Li, Yan Yan sat down, and Shen Yiyao took her hand and asked. Knowing that everything is fine with her, and knowing that she has been living in the Fourth Prince’s House after she came out of the palace this time, she was so happy that she didn’t know what to do.
Seeing this, Cuiping jokingly said a few witty words, then took the basin veil to serve Shen Yiyao and cleaned her face, and Fang sat down again and continued talking. Meanwhile, Yan Yan learned that Yan Ling was about to get married, and her date was set on the third day of March.
“This is out of the palace, and it will be looser in the future. I will come back to add makeup with my fourth sister in a few days.”
Later, I talked about the affairs of the mansion. In the past few months, nothing major happened in the mansion. The two aunts are very honest, and the old lady hasn’t caused any moths. In Sanfang, the Chen family is almost not showing up in front of others. On the contrary, the aunt Cui has a body again, and she has been very popular in the house recently.
Speaking of her body, Shen Yiyao asked Yan Yan in a low voice, asking her if she was moving.
Yan Yan’s complexion blushed, but she didn’t lie to Shen Yiyao, telling her that it is not suitable to have children at this time, so she should wait for a while.
Just mentioning this is a long way off. After returning from Ma Cairen that day, Yan Yan found that Luo Huaiyuan always looked strange, so she asked him. He didn’t hide it, and told his worries. There is no mention of Ma Cairen among him, but Yan Yan guessed that things like this must be reminded by Ma Cairen, otherwise Luo Huaiyuan, a big man, understands this.
The matter of giving birth is a completely vague concept in Yan Yan’s mind. Luo Huaiyuan really made a lot of sense, and the two reached an unanimous decision, that is, not to have children for the time being.
As for how to avoid being pregnant, Luo Huaiyuan asked Yan Yan to give it to him with confidence, and Yan Yan didn’t care about it anymore. Anyway, the two have been a lot of times so far, but Yan Yan has never been pregnant.
Hearing this, Shen Yiyao was a little startled, and sighed after a while: “Yes, it’s better to wait to go out.”
This going out refers to the enfeoffment of the vassal, the prince’s twenty-line crowning gift grants the title to the vassal vassal, and usually cannot return to Beijing without an edict. Luo Huaiyuan is not too young now, and it will be the time when he should be ruled in just over a year.
The mother and daughter gossiping for a while.
Shen Yiyao today wore a narrow-sleeved jacket embroidered with begonia in the lotus color, underneath was a dark green horse-faced skirt, which looked really simple and elegant. He combed his hair back to the heart bun, only inserted two white jade hairpins, which looked elegant and generous, and he wore a narrow-mouthed suet white jade bracelet on his wrist.
At this time, the two of them were sitting on the kang in the warm pavilion, with a small rosewood kang table in the middle, with tea cups and various fruit snacks on the table. Shen Yiyao brought the tea cup to drink, and the jade bracelet fell a little, revealing a narrow black green.
Yan Yan’s eyes condensed. After Shen Yiyao put down the tea cup, she grabbed her hand and stroked her bracelet and cuffs up. The bottom of her slender, snow-white jade-like forearm was impressively black and it looked like a man. Handprints left when pulling.
“How is this going?”
Shen Yiyao wanted to say something, but finally sighed and explained the reason inside.
Originally from that collusion, although her daughter and son-in-law resolved the matter, Shen Yiyao was always uneasy. Although she didn’t know what Yan Ting was doing outside every day, she still heard about him and the second prince who were close together.
Since the beginning of the new year, people in the court have repeatedly asked the second prince to entrust the feudal vassal, so there has been a lot of trouble in the court. Those who are unknown should be regarded as the second prince when he reached his age, and he should have left Beijing long ago. They didn’t know that there was such a disturbance in the palace during the years. Empress Xiao saw that the concubine Xu was too popular, and the second prince pressed the prince almost unable to lift her head, so they ventilated with her maiden Jingguo, and the courtiers kept playing two. The prince is on the issue.
It stands to reason that after the crowning of the prince, the prince granted titles to the vassal, and the second princes were long past age, and the crowning ceremony had already been held, but there has been no movement of going out of Beijing to the vassal. This question was raised by courtiers before. The Emperor Xi meant that the second prince had not yet been married, and it was only suitable for him to go out of Beijing after the wedding, and the matter was delayed. At this time, the second prince has been married for more than three months, so it is time to revisit the old things.
In the past few days, there has been a lot of noise in the court, and Emperor Xi has never expressed his position. Even Shen Yiyao, a woman in the house, has heard of it.
Born in the government office of Zhenguo, Shen Yiyao still has some keen sense of the court, and knowing this must be inseparable from the prince. When Jufan was involved in the battle for storage, there has always been no good thing. He left the house without seeing Shen Qi at a young age, and he never came back during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yiyao still has lingering fears about the previous disaster. Seeing Yan Ting and the second prince are so close, for fear that the old thing will happen again, after many thoughts, she finally made up her mind to reconcile with Yan Ting.
In fact, this kind of thinking has always been there, just thinking about the daughter and son. Now that the daughter is married, it will take a few years for the son to grow up. Who knows what it will be like in a few years. It was enough to implicate Shen Yiyao’s heart in the family once, and again, she would die, and she could only think of sorry for the young Amo.
After making up his mind, Shen Yiyao discussed with Yan Mo and received Yan Mo’s full support.
Although after Niangheli, he may not be able to see her every day like he is now, but he has legs, so he can run a few more times to see her. Zhen Guo Gong Mansion is the foundation of their mother and son. Without Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, how could Shen Yiyao and Yan Mo live so happily today? Even if Yan Yan hadn’t had Zhen Guo Gong Mansion behind him, I am afraid that I have been dealt more in the palace before, and the methods are more severe. How can it be so painless and itchy is just a trick on the back.
The richest place in the world that day was also the most snobby place in the world. There is no equivalent status, living in that kind of place, if one is careless, waiting to be trampled to death. Just like before, Yan Yan dared to make a noise in the House of Internal Affairs. If she changed her status, could the queen only be suspended for ten days? To say that it is a sympathetic newlywed, that is just a push.
Such nice words are easy to hear, but if you really believe it, then you are a fool.
So just last night, Shen Yiyao and Yan Ting had a showdown.
Yan Ting Lei Ting was furious, unwilling to reconcile, and hurt Shen Yiyao’s hand during the pull. Fortunately, there was a maid on the side, but it didn’t make a big deal, but just broke up.
Knowing that her daughter was back today, Shen Yiyao deliberately changed into a small jacket with narrow sleeves, and also brought a narrow-mouthed bracelet to cover it, but she was still watching Yan Yan with sharp eyes.
Speaking of Yan Ting, Yan Yan felt an unstoppable nausea.
During the period after she married Luo Huaiyuan, Luo Huaiyuan also told her many things, one of which was the dispute between Yan Ting and Xu Xiangrong. At that time, Yan Yan’s shock was beyond words, and after careful consideration, she did not intend to tell her mother about the matter. Because Luo Huaiyuan said, because of the previous incident, even if he didn’t take action to clean up Yan Ting, the Lord Zhen Guo would not let him go, so he would simply not let his mother-in-law know about it, so as not to increase her sentimentality.
The consideration is quite good, Yan Yan still underestimated the shamelessness of people. In a moment of anger, she waved back from the servants in the hall and told Shen Yiyao everything she knew. ?
The author has something to say:
small theater:
After seeing a few little girls go out, Mei Xiang’s three pretending to be busy, then gathered together.
Yimeng akimbo: That little girl’s film is too sensible, where is your majesty loving your majesty, obviously it is our madam loving your majesty.
Mei Xiang blushed: Don’t tell it through, it’s not a good friend to tell it through.
Evian: How do you think our niece loves Your Highness? (I’m so curious, itching like a cat scratching)…… QAQ
Mei Xiang hurriedly scolded: Stop your curiosity, I don’t know that at this moment, your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of War Shangshu to control the country’s anti-pornography and illegal activities. Do you want to make our women go in and squat in the black house?
As soon as this statement came out, the three of them continued to work as birds and beasts scattered.
The above is a small theater without responsibility, O(∩_∩)O haha~ It’s funny, don’t take it seriously.
