Xiao Jingchuan's hand stopped as he drank the soup. There was still a big mouthful of soup in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it for a long time.
A pair of eyes full of strange expressions, he couldn't help but look at Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan was still looking at him, but his eyes fell on Xiao Jingtong.
Xiao Jingtong's expression was even uglier than before.
She just didn't want to hear Song Qinghuan's master and servant talking about pearls and agate, so she said that on purpose.
Who knew Song Qinghuan was so good at climbing along the pole?
The little man's face twitched again and again, and he was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly stood up and said, "I don't agree."
She said: "Princess Song, what are you thinking about? Pearl and Agate are my personal servants. If my father takes them all into the backyard, wouldn't he be stabbed in the back?"
joke."
Song Qinghuan said lightly: "What's the big deal? Your father even married his former nephew's daughter-in-law, so it doesn't matter if he uses the two maids around his daughter."
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Besides, didn't the little princess think it was very good just now? Your father's backyard should also be filled in, right?"
"If I say no, I won't." Xiao Jingtong was slapped in the face again and again by Song Qinghuan, and his whole body became very angry.
She didn't like other people thinking about Xiao Ci, so she also disliked Song Qinghuan.
But she didn't expect that the two maids she served personally would also have such thoughts.
Seeing Song Qinghuan's smiling face, she became furious. Knowing that crying was useless, she glared at her fiercely, turned around and left.
As soon as she rushed back to Hanliyuan, Pearl and Agate had already sobered up and were kneeling on the porch one by one.
They all hoped that Xiao Jingtong would remember the love between master and servant and spare them their nonsense this time.
Xiao Jing passed by the two of them angrily, and heard Pearl and Agate call her sadly: "Princess."
After calling out, he said again: "I know I was wrong. I really shouldn't have drunk. I was so drunk that I talked so shamelessly."
"What kind of person is the prince? Your servants are just cheap servants. How dare you stand up to the prince? Princess, please spare the servants this time."
Xiao Jingtong was so angry that he went back to the house, but when he heard the two of them crying and begging sadly for mercy, he couldn't hold it back anymore. He came out of the house again, holding a riding crop in his hand, and went to the house without any courtesy.
Take it from these two people.
Suddenly, an even more pitiful cry was heard.
Xiao Jingtong's temper was also developed by Empress Dowager Jiang, and she had the title of princess, so no one dared to disobey her.
When these two people cried loudly, she became even more angry. She pointed at the guards waiting in the corridor and said, "Stop the mouths of these two people."
The sound of pearls and agate suddenly disappeared, and everyone bit their lips and did not dare to cry anymore.
But the guards didn't show any pity for her. They actually found strips of cloth and stuffed them into their mouths.
Xiao Jingtong was so angry that he threw away his riding whip and went back into the house. He didn't let anyone wait on him. He closed the door and didn't know what to do.
I spent a whole day walking in the snow looking for plum blossoms, and then returned to Kankanju in the evening to resume my duties.
The two of them had just had a sip of tea, and the conversation hadn't even started yet.
Chunlan came to report: "Princess, the little princess has demoted Pearl Agate and two people to rough servants, and ordered them not to leave Hanlianyuan even half a step without her permission."
Song Qinghuan was not surprised and deserved to say: "I understand."
Xunmei's eyes widened and she said, "Princess, what did Texue and I miss?"
He narrowed his eyes and laughed, asking Chunlan: "What's going on?"
Chunlan glanced at Song Qinghuan and saw that she didn't look displeased, so she smiled and said: "Today, a young princess comes over to have lunch. Our princess said that she would take the pearls and agates for the prince. As soon as the young princess comes back to the hospital,
Then he lost his temper and whipped Pearl and Agate several times."
"Really?"
Then he chuckled again: "These two people don't seem to be doing their job. It seems to me that they are just being demoted to rough maids. I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Texue handed the notes he had sorted out to Song Qinghuan. Hearing this, he said, "Let's make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the easier it will be to deal with it."
Xunmei looked up at her, pursed her lips and smiled.
Song Qinghuan didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so he coughed lightly and asked: "Two great heroes, how was your harvest today?" As soon as he talked about today's events, Xunmei immediately became more energetic and spent the morning in the flower hall.
The story was told vividly and vividly.
Then he straightened his back and said, "At that time, I felt that I was the maid next to the princess, and I must be very powerful."
Then he laughed again: "I have never been so majestic in my life. I am a little maid, and I can suppress all the big and small stewards with my momentum alone."
Chunlan and Qiulan had never seen such a scene. Just listening to Xunmei's words, their eyes lit up and they kept asking her to elaborate more.
Song Qinghuan looked at it once, shook her head fondly, and flipped through the booklet Texue gave her again.
This book contains detailed records, including who and what their name is, what job they are responsible for, how many people they manage, what their temperament is like, and whether their hands and feet are clean.
When Song Qinghuan was in charge of Yipinju and Dianzhuangge, he often had to do accounting, and he was also very keen on money.
After flipping through the book, he said, "I never thought that our prince would be working as an errand for the Army and Horses Division of the Five Cities, but he would have a lot of money in his hands."
There are fewer mistresses in Prince Rui's Mansion than in the Song family. In the past, the two mistresses were mostly in the palace, so Xiao Ci was the only one who came and went.
But the expenses of Prince Rui's Mansion for one month are more than the Song family's expenses for two months.
He threw the booklet aside casually, not thinking about reading it again.
I think Xiao Ci gave her an IOU of one thousand taels of gold, but he was so stingy that he refused to exchange it, and in the end he shamelessly took it back.
At first, I thought he was just an errand of a five-city military commander, so he might be extremely poor. But now, looking at it, he is clearly reluctant to part with her.
The nameless fire immediately followed. He reached out and pinched the fan and fanned it several times. He was so angry that he said to himself: "Wait and see, let's see how I deal with you."
Song Qinghuan was not happy to read the brochure, so he went to invite Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong over and prepared for dinner.
No need to wait for Xiao Ci.
Taxue knew what she was thinking, so he went to give some instructions. When he came back, he said: "The young master sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he would set off back to Liaodong early the next morning."
Song Qinghuan knew that he would leave sooner or later, but when he heard the news, his heart still sank for no reason, and he deserved to say: "I understand."
