No matter how romantic Xiao Ci is, he will not be so greedy as to touch two pearls and agates.
Not to mention that Song Qinghuan was like a jealous man. He had a thief's heart but was also afraid that the backyard would catch fire.
Song Qinghuan said this partly as a test and partly as a serious statement.
But I didn't expect that because of these words, I felt guilty again at night.
When I woke up in a daze the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ci had long since disappeared, and the bed next to him was completely cold.
Song Qinghuan, sleepy as ever, turned over with the brocade quilt in her arms, intending to sleep for a while, but suddenly the coffin cleared, and then she remembered that she had married into Prince Rui's palace.
Immediately, all the fatigue and drowsiness disappeared, and he sat up quickly and called out: "Walking in the snow, looking for plum blossoms..."
Hearing this call, he hurriedly stood up and put on his clothes, and said naggingly: "It's no time at all, and you don't know how to wake me up. It would be a shame to have a bunch of stewards waiting," he said.
."
On the second day after getting married, he had to go to the palace to pay his respects, and on the third day he had to go back. He had no time for several days in a row. There was no need to go into the palace or go back to the house today. Xiao Ci told her to take care of the house, so he had to
Handle everything in the house.
Yesterday, I told Texue Xunmei about this matter, but I never thought that these two little maids would indulge her to such an extent, and they didn't even say a word at this hour.
The little maid standing guard outside the house heard the sound and hurriedly came in to wait on her, but she was not walking in the snow looking for plum blossoms.
After Song Qinghuan put on her clothes, she looked up and saw two spring orchids and autumn orchids. She immediately frowned and asked, "What about walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms?"
Chunlan Qiulan gave her a blessing, and Chunlan said: "Back to the princess, Sister Taxue, Sister Xunmei and Chunniang have gone to do the accounting."
Then he said: "The prince has gone out. Before leaving, he told the servants not to wake you up. If anything happens, I will let Sister Taxue and Sister Xunmei take care of it."
Xiao Ci didn't have an easy time at night for Song Qinghuan. She was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids. Fortunately for the Lord, she felt refreshed and energetic.
When I woke up early in the morning, I didn't know where I was going, so I told Song Qinghuan not to make any noise.
Everyone left the house and came back again, leaving Taxue and Xunmei to do everything they needed to do.
All the stewards of the palace were waiting in the flower hall. Seeing that Song Qinghuan, Princess Rui, did not come out, but two little maids came, they immediately began to whisper to each other.
Although everyone in Prince Rui's mansion is Xiao Ci's family, Song Qinghuan, a foreigner, became their master as soon as he entered the mansion, so he was still a little dissatisfied.
When he saw that they were two little maids, he even looked down upon them.
Texue followed Song Qinghuan, and she had seen a lot of the world because of the Dianzhuang Pavilion and Yipinju. In addition, she could write and calculate, had a calm temperament, and was quite capable.
Although Xunmei doesn't have the ability to walk in the snow, he is still very good at putting on airs.
When the two of them saw the contempt in the eyes of these stewards, they immediately looked solemn and stood up straight. This posture alone could bluff people.
Chun Niang stood and watched without saying anything, just as if watching the fun.
Ta Xue was not afraid of the scene and spoke a few words of grandeur before handing over the account books and the keys to each warehouse one by one.
In a high-level courtyard, when there are more people, the accounts will naturally not be too clean. The people below will get some profit from it, but as long as it is not excessive, the masters above will usually turn a blind eye.
Song Qinghuan didn't show up and only pushed two maids out, which naturally made the active-minded person not take it to heart.
When he reconciled his accounts with Ta Xue, he also seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass himself.
Texue was well aware of the idea of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but he took a quick glance and directly pointed out the errors in the ledger and where the money was flowing, without any shame.
None of the first few people were left behind, and they looked disgraced, filled with grief and anger.
Chun Niang watched for a while and saw that the two maids around Song Qinghuan were indeed not idiots, so she stepped forward to help.
Some of the people in the front were slapped on the head, but those in the back were dissatisfied, but they became more honest and didn't dare to play tricks anymore.
Song Qinghuan hurriedly got up. She heard that Ta Xue Xunmei had gone to take care of things for her. After thinking about it for a long time, she wrapped herself in clothes and lay down for a while.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ci sent a message back home, saying that he would not be back for lunch, so he asked Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong to accompany Song Qinghuan to have lunch together.
Song Qinghuan slowly stood up, dragging his body with exhaustion.
There are so many things to do, such as walking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms, that I don’t even have time to do them in a short while.
Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong sat down at the dining table, but neither of them spoke.
Xiao Jingchuan has always had this kind of temper; Xiao Jingtong was because of the matter of pearls and agate last night.
The two of them didn't make a sound, which was even quieter than Song Qinghuan eating alone.
Song Qinghuan had been sleeping for a long time and had no appetite. After eating less than half of the bowl of bird's nest porridge, he was constantly playing with the porridge water in the bowl.
After a while, he said: "Little princess, I heard that the two maids you serve personally are very ambitious and want to fill the backyard for the prince?"
Yesterday, Xiao Jingtong made a big fuss in Zhiwang Family, which caused quite a commotion. Xiao Jingchuan knew about it, and when people inquired about it, he even knew clearly what happened in Xiao Jingtong's courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Song Qinghuan was suddenly asked to speak out.
Xiao Jing was young, but he knew things very well. His expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
He calmly explained for a long time: "They were just drunk. Even if they said something treasonous, it doesn't matter."
Song Qinghuan smiled softly and signaled Chunlan to get her a cold dish.
She didn't say anything, so Chunlan said: "The little princess is still young after all. Isn't there an old saying about telling the truth after drinking?"
"The prince is of noble status and handsome. My two sisters, Pearl and Agate, are young. It would be normal if they have some thoughts."
No matter how miserable Pearl and Agate were, they were still members of Xiao Jing's children's courtyard.
These two people were interested in her father, Xiao Ci, which made her unhappy, but Master and servant Song Qinghuan wanted to mention it separately. At that moment, she couldn't help but lose her temper. She threw the jade chopsticks on the dining table and said: "Then
So what? You also know that my father is of noble status and handsome. If there are other girls who admire him, it means that they have good taste and have seen the right person."
He added: "My father's backyard is empty, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to add a few more people."
Xiao Jingchuan raised his eyes and glanced at Song Qinghuan, then at Xiao Jingtong. He didn't say anything at all, and just scooped half a bowl of soup by himself.
Song Qinghuan also chuckled, ate the remaining half bowl of bird's nest porridge, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then said to Xiao Jingtong seriously: "The princess is right, this backyard should be added."
People."
She said: "Since they are interested and the little princess has no objection, I will go to the palace tomorrow to beg these two sisters for the prince in front of the Queen Mother.
