Chapter 959: Enter the Eldest Princess's Mansion
Concubine Xiao Guifei was overjoyed when she saw her father-in-law coming over in person, and at the same time she secretly wondered in her heart: If the emperor wants to come over at night, wouldn't he just send a little eunuch over to inform him? When did the Mangong come in person?
For the father-in-law of the number one chief beside Emperor Yonghe, even Xiao Guifei, who favored the sixth palace, did not dare to offend at all.
Xiao Guifei smiled politely and friendly, but Father-in-law Man was reserved and polite, with a smile on his face, and that smile should be more superficial, more standardized, and more standardized.
After conveying Emperor Yonghe's message in a calm tone, the Mangong politely retired.
What happened outside the palace, Xiao Guifei didn't know so quickly here, so after listening to the words of her father-in-law, Xiao Guifei was confused.
But she could tell that it wasn't a good thing.
Where did Xiao Guifei let her father-in-law go so easily? Hurriedly stopped him, and motioned to the palace maid Guizhi to stuff a big red envelope into the hand of the Mangong Gonggong, Xiao Guifei smiled bitterly: "Mangong, why can't the palace understand!" What the hell is going on here? Your Majesty this-this brainless ...... Please also ask Father-in-law Manchu to help the palace, at least explain the matter to the palace, right? ”
The red envelope was accepted by the father-in-law very happily, in this palace, people who are too high cannot reach too high positions.
But he wouldn't say a word about what he shouldn't say.
only smiled and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang asked the third prince, what else is not clear." ”
Xiao Guifei's face changed slightly: "The third child is also present?" ”
"The old slave has to go back to give the emperor his life." The Manchu respectfully bowed and retreated.
"Father-in-law walks slowly!" Concubine Xiao didn't say anything to keep him this time, and smiled reluctantly.
As soon as the Mangong left, Concubine Xiao Guifei immediately sent someone to find the third prince and ordered him to enter the palace immediately.
The eldest princess entered the palace and cried, and Lu Zhan and Qiao Xiaoru's carriage had already arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.
The eldest princess's only biological son returned home, which was naturally a big thing.
Therefore, the middle door of the huge eldest princess's mansion opened, and the layers went straight to the inner house.
Several housekeepers, housekeepers' ladies, and countless maids, maids, and maids, guards, and servants knelt down to greet each other, and the formation was grand.
It's just that the eldest princess, as the only hostess of the eldest princess's mansion, Ruyi, is nowhere to be seen.
Lu Zhan stood on the ground with Qiao Xiaoru, Mama Xun followed closely with Xiaoyue in her arms, and the four maids of mangosteen and star fruit also followed closely.
Glancing at the crowd that was kneeling down, Lu Zhan didn't hear clearly the awe-inspiring and respectful greetings in their mouths.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, and then asked people to get up and lead the way into the house.
His mother, who was said to be looking forward to his early return, was not there!
The eldest princess's mansion is not all, if not all, of the minions, and the subordinates should be here, right? However, his biological mother was not there.
Lu Zhan didn't know what a big reason she didn't show up.
At this moment, his heart was full of disappointment and coldness.
"Prince, young lady, please enter the house to rest first, the eldest princess of the courtyard where you live has already ordered to clean up and arrange, everything is in order. The eldest princess has something to do temporarily, and has entered the palace, and when the eldest princess comes back, the old slave will send someone to inform the prince and the young lady. Oh, the old slave is Mama Qing next to the eldest princess. ”
Mama Qing stepped forward and laughed respectfully.
"There is Mama Lao Qing." Lu Zhan paused and nodded at her.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Mama Qing laughed with her and led the way in person.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Zhan quickly, and she had a complicated feeling in her heart......
The courtyard where Lu Zhan and Qiao Xiaoru live is indeed very large and magnificent, with two courtyards, plus east and west courtyards, and there are forty or fifty rooms.
When Lu Zhan, Qiao Xiaoru, and Mama Xun came in, the twenty or so maids who were waiting in the courtyard kowtowed together in the courtyard.
At a glance, the hierarchy of each person's clothing can be seen at a glance.
Among these twenty or so people, about seven or eight should be in the house to do light and meticulous personal work, and the rest should belong to the kind of rough work such as sprinkling and sweeping.
Qiao Xiaoru frowned slightly, are so many people waiting in the house? Wouldn't that be a loss of freedom at all?
This is all arranged by the eldest princess, not to mention that she is a newcomer, even if she is not a newcomer, can the daughter-in-law drive away or hang the people assigned by her mother-in-law to serve?
"There are too many people," before Qiao Xiaoru could turn around in her heart, Lu Zhan was already quite dissatisfied and said to Mama Qing: "We have always liked to be quiet, and there are enough people around us, it seems that it is a little useless to stay so much in the yard, Mama Qing will take a few away!" ”
Mama Qing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "The princess has a problem for the old slave!" This is the role that the prince and the young lady should do, if there are fewer people, wouldn't it make the prince and the young lady be wronged? Rest assured, the minions in our eldest princess's mansion are all very well-behaved, and they will not disturb the peace of the prince and the young lady. ”
Lu Zhan has never been accustomed to arguing with others about what to distinguish, but when he heard Mama Qing say this, he had nothing to say, so he frowned at the moment and had to give up for the time being.
Qing Mama smiled, pointed to a mother-in-law in her early forties and said with a smile: "This Jing Mama is the housekeeper of this Yihetang, and the young lady and the young lady can only assign her if they have anything." ”
Mama Jing hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Zhanqiao Xiaoru again.
Mama Qing introduced several big girls one by one, all of whom were named after the beginning of the word Xia.
For a while, Mama Qing personally led Lu Zhan and Qiao Xiaoru into the main house, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the layout of this house is not in line with the wishes of the prince and the young lady. ”
After saying a few more words, he bowed and withdrew.
Mama Jing smiled and said, "Son, you and the young lady will rest first, and the old slave will be resettled." ”
After saying that, he asked Xia Lan and others to order someone to fetch hot water to wash the master's face, prepare clean clothes for the master to change.
Qiao Xiaoru saw that Xia Lan and the other eight were brightly dressed, and the hairpin rings on their buns were either gold inlaid with jade or jade beads, and the rouge gouache was dressed more decently than ordinary young ladies.
I compared the clothes cut from the half-new and old ordinary materials on my body, and saw that their eyebrows and eyes were reserved, and the corners of their eyes were not slanted towards themselves, and they laughed at themselves.
No wonder everyone says that the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, this first-class lady in the eldest princess's mansion is really more noble than ordinary young ladies.
