Yun Shang took a walk in the courtyard and then left the courtyard. She slowly walked along the promenade by the lake to the flower hall. After passing the flower hall, she saw the doorman at the door of the house who seemed to be frowning and yelling with disgust on his face.
: "Go away, this is no place for you. If you don't leave, I'm going to beat you with a stick..."
Yun Shang paused, walked to the door and said with some confusion: "What's wrong? Who are you talking to?"
When the doorman heard this, he turned around and saw Yun Shang, and quickly saluted Yun Shang: "She is an old beggar woman. She has been begging at the door of our house for the past two days. Every time the prince or princess comes back,
She avoided it when she was in the mansion, and usually squatted in the corner next to the mansion door with a broken bowl. The servant felt that it was not good to be seen by the people, so he wanted to drive her away, but she refused to leave.
, every time I rush, I come back soon.”
"Oh?" Yun Shang heard this and walked to the door of the house. Sure enough, she saw a beggar squatting under the corner of the wall. She was a woman. Judging from her gray hair and stooped body, she must be in her fifties or sixties.
His clothes were ragged, his hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time, and even though it was winter, he didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet.
As if aware of Yun Shang's gaze, the beggar turned around and glanced at Yun Shang, then shrank back and leaned against the corner.
Yun Shang was silent for a moment and then said: "It's Chinese New Year, bring her some food and give her a quilt. There's no need to drive her away, just wait for her to be here."
The doorman nodded repeatedly and responded diligently. Yun Shang turned around and walked back to the mansion, turning around and preparing to go back to the inner courtyard. The doorman's soft hum came from behind: "You are lucky to meet such a person like our princess."
Good people."
"It is indeed a bit indecent for a beggar to squat in front of the door and beg, and if others see it, they will probably say that the prince and princess have no compassion and are not even willing to help a beggar." Qin Yi turned around and looked at the door of the house.
, then said softly.
Yun Shang nodded, "Of course I also understand this truth, but I will definitely not be able to bring people of unknown origin into my house."
"It is indeed inappropriate to bring him into the house. He is begging in front of our house for no reason and can't be driven away. This is a bit suspicious. He can't bring it into the house, but there are other ways to think of. We can still do it in the suburbs.
There are several places in Zhuangzi. The princess can ask the housekeeper to send the beggar woman to Zhuangzi. Even if the beggar woman has evil intentions, she can't cause any big trouble." Qinyi thought for a while, then slowly
road.
"That's a good idea." Yun Shang smiled lightly and said, "Just do it like this. You can talk to the housekeeper later."
Qin Yi quickly agreed, and the two passed through the flower hall again. Yun Shang looked at the fork in the road in front of her, thought about it, and then said: "I rarely go to the right. I heard that before this mansion was still the prince's mansion.
, the prince and the princess both live here, and the courtyard we live in now was originally just a guest courtyard. Come on, let’s go and have a look, the courtyard where the prince lived before was made of carved railings and jade."
Yun Shang was in a rare mood today. Qin Yi thought that it would be better to walk more as she was pregnant, and it would be easier to give birth, so she did not stop her and followed Yun Shang to the right.
After walking through the long corridor and passing through several pavilions, I saw a three-story building standing by the lake, with Fengbo Tower written on it. Yun Shang smiled and said, "This is the residence of the former prince, Fengbo Tower."
The building is quite interesting. Other princes all hope to have a smooth sailing and become the emperor peacefully, but he chose the Fengbo Building for his place to live."
Yun Shang climbed up the wooden stairs. There was a viewing pavilion on the third floor. Standing on the viewing pavilion, she could have a sweeping view of the mansion.
"This is a good place." Yun Shang took a breath with a smile.
Qin Yi smiled: "The princess likes it so much, why not move here?"
Yun Shang shook her head repeatedly, "Just take a look and move here. A place where the dead have lived is not auspicious."
"When did the princess become so superstitious?" Qin Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Where is that?" Yun Shang suddenly pointed to a courtyard on the right. The courtyard was not small. There were several people dressed as servants standing in the courtyard, seeming to be arguing about something. Yun Shang saw that those people's
There seemed to be something white near my feet.
Qin Yi looked at the position pointed by Yun Shang, thought for a moment, and then responded: "If I remember correctly, it should be the courtyard where the former crown princess lives."
"Former Crown Princess?" Yun Shang murmured, her eyes falling on those people, "Looking at their clothes, I'm afraid they should be servants in the mansion, but why are they in the courtyard of the former Crown Princess at this time?"
Qin Yi couldn't answer it, and Yun Shang didn't seem to want to get any answer from her, so she said, "Let's go and take a look."
Before Qin Yi could say anything, Yun Shang had already walked downstairs quickly, and Qin Yi quickly chased after her, "Princess, please slow down a little."
After passing the Fengbo Tower, and walking some distance away, there was a yard full of orchids in front of the door. Yun Shang stood at the door and heard voices talking inside. The voices were a bit fierce, as if they were arguing.
Yun Shang took Qin Yi and stood at the door, listening quietly.
"I discovered this celadon vase first, and it belongs to me. Before Prince Rui and the others moved in, you had already stolen so many things from this house and sold them. All the things that were inconspicuous and were not given by the emperor.
You have already taken everything you can. After Prince Rui moved in, you restrained yourself a little, but you also got a lot of good things out. I didn't even complain to the housekeeper. I was obviously the one who saw this celadon vase first.
Why did you try to fight with me, and then deliberately dropped the vase when you couldn't get it?" The man's voice was filled with anger, and he was trembling with excitement.
Another man with a slightly lower voice snorted coldly, "Why? Do I need to give you a reason to do something? I can take it, but you can't take it. If you find something good, tell me and I can share it with you.
Son, otherwise, I will make it impossible for you to take anything away."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Judging from the content of the quarrel between the two people, it seemed that they often stole items from the mansion to exchange for money. They must have been slaves in the prince's mansion. Since she and Prince Rui lived in Prince Rui's mansion, they have never been there.
How should we care about these people, but we don’t expect that there are many such people.
Yun Shang gave a signal to the secret guard, who then appeared and rushed in. Suddenly, a wailing sound came from the yard, "Who are you, and why are you arresting us?"
The sound got closer and closer, and gradually Yun Shang saw the appearance of the people in the courtyard. They were all looking at the honest servants. Those servants were wailing and wailing, but suddenly they saw Yun Shang standing at the door and disappeared.
made a sound.
Although Yun Shang rarely appeared in front of everyone, as a servant of the house, his master still recognized him.
Yun Shang glanced at everyone indifferently, and sneered: "Leave these people to the housekeeper, and let the housekeeper see what they have stolen from our house and sold."
The secret guard responded and led those people down.
Yun Shang sighed softly, and after being silent for a long time, she said softly: "Am I too indifferent?"
Qin Yi fell silent after hearing this.
Yun Shang already knew the answer as soon as he saw her appearance, and smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about my face. I know that I haven't done enough, but I don't think of these servants so badly. It seems that it is really
People are good and can be bullied. Later, please send me a message to the housekeeper. Ask him to clear out and register all the servants in the mansion and the property of each courtyard in the mansion, and then send it to me. The prince and I are the only ones in the mansion.
The two masters don't need so many maids and servants, so they can temporarily reduce the number of maids and servants by half, leaving some people who can do things, and send the others away. Those who have signed the deed of sale will be sent to Renyazi.
There, those who signed a short contract were given some money to send."
Qinyi nodded gently, and after being silent for a long time, she said softly: "The princess is the head of the house, and there are some things that she cannot be lazy about. Before I came to Jincheng, I heard a lot of rumors, saying that the princess was jealous and would not let the prince.
Concubinage, the backyard of this mansion is indeed quite empty."
Yun Shang paused and turned to look at Qin Yi, "I always feel that it is justifiable for others to persuade me about this matter. You are the only one who cannot persuade me like this. My mother and concubine did it because of my father.
I broke my heart after marrying someone else, and stayed in the cold palace for more than ten years. My mother and concubine are also not happy with the concubines my father has, and she has always been cold and indifferent to my father. I often feel that I am afraid that now
Although my mother-in-law is extremely favored by the saints, she may not necessarily feel happy. A woman naturally hopes that she is the only one for her husband."
Yun Shang smiled, "I'm very lucky. The prince has never thought about taking a concubine, and he often told me that I am the only one he can live with in this life. In this case, I should stick to this promise and say that I
Be it jealous or vicious. If we can't stand firm ourselves, then there is no happiness at all."
Hearing this, Qin Yi opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her, but in the end she didn't speak. She just sighed softly, "In this way, the princess will bear all the bad things alone. Others will definitely not say anything about the prince.
Not at all, they are all talking about the princess..."
Yun Shang smiled lightly, "What does the matter between me and the prince and his wife have to do with others? They say it's their business no matter how they like. I can't care about it, and I don't bother to care about it."
Since Yun Shang had already said this, Qin Yi stopped answering.
Yun Shang laughed and said to Qin Yi: "Let's go back to the courtyard. It seems that it's time to prepare dinner, but it seems that we just had lunch not long ago." After a pause, he said, "I'll take care of the affairs in the house.
I will pick it up slowly. As you said, taking care of the house is what I should do, and I can't shirk it. Although I am not good at it, I can learn it, but fortunately I have you to help me. Now the new Aunt Qi is here
Aunt He Qiu seems to be capable, so I'm not worried."
Qin Yi nodded, responded, and followed Yun Shang back to the house. (To be continued)
