Chapter 1074 381 Misunderstandings (Seven More)
The next day, after having breakfast, Xiao Yi went out early, saying that he was going to General Tian’s mansion, and specifically told Nangong Yue not to go to the main courtyard to ask for safety, and to take her to visit Bixiao Hall when he came back.
Nangong Yue was noncommittal and sent him out the door with a smile, and then said to Baihui, "Let's go to the main courtyard."
Baihui said hesitantly, "But the eldest son said..."
Nangong Yue smiled, "If I don't go, it's my fault... let's go."
Baihui knew that her concubine had an idea, so she went out with her without persuading her.
When he arrived, Mrs. Fang had just eaten.
With yesterday's experience, Mrs. Fang guessed that Nangong Yueding wanted the name "virtuous and virtuous", so she would definitely come to greet her. So, she deliberately woke up early and waited for Nangong Yue to come over to make rules for herself and serve her meals. However, after waiting and waiting until she had finished her breakfast, Nangong Yue was long overdue.
Nangong Yue gave Xiao Fang a blessing and said respectfully, "I have seen my mother."
Mrs. Fang was really impatient, and when she saw her, she said angrily: "The county master is here. What time is it?"
Nangong Yue said angrily, "Don't blame mother, daughter-in-law is late."
It seems that Xiao Yi is away today, and no one supports her, but she is much more obedient.
Although this Nangong Yue is a slut, she still seems to have a reputation.
It's easy to be famous!
Xiao Fang realized that she was the truth, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she said, "It's fine if you know your mistake." Her face darkened, and she sighed, "Speaking of which, I'm just a woman whose fate has been taken away. The imperial concubine, the dignified princess, came to me in the morning and evening to save me, and it really broke me."
Xiao Fang said this deliberately, if an ordinary daughter-in-law would be frightened, and he could take the opportunity to convince her.
Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind.
Mrs. Fang continued with a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that we have never had a daughter-in-law of the county master in the whole of the southern border. Otherwise, I can also ask how to get along with the county master." Her implication, if Nangong If there is anything wrong with Yue, it will definitely let everyone in the southern border know of her disobedience and unfilial piety.
If this Nangong clan wants to be famous, she should serve herself well, otherwise her reputation in the southern border will be ruined!
"Mother……"
Sure enough, seeing Nangong Yue looking at her with a terrified face, the corners of Xiao Fang's lips curled up, a hint of color appeared in her eyes, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "It will be saved in the morning and evening, county. It doesn't matter if the Lord doesn't come."
Nangong Yue let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "Daughter-in-law heard the name of mother's kindness and kindness in the capital, and only today did I realize that her mother was far worse than the rumors. Daughter-in-law thanked her mother for saving her daughter-in-law's morning and evening decision. Province."
Xiao Fang's eyes suddenly widened, looking at her in disbelief.
How could she avoid her morning and evening thinking, how could she misinterpret her words like this? !
Nangong Yue looked at her gratefully, and continued: "...Daughter-in-law is terrified, but she can't live up to her mother's kindness. Why don't you come on the 15th day of every month to say goodbye to the mother-in-law. Concubine, don't shirk any longer."
Xiao Fang was unable to speak, and the hand holding the tea cup kept shaking, as if he was about to lose it.
Nangong Yue added, "My daughter-in-law has just arrived, and Bixiaotang is still in a mess. She needs her daughter-in-law to take care of her. If mother has nothing to do today, she can let her daughter-in-law retire first."
Nangong Yue naturally acquiesced that she had agreed, and said, "Thank you, mother." She was blessed and left with Baihui.
It is conceivable how Xiao Fang will be furious when she is gone, no matter it has nothing to do with her.
Glancing at Baihui, who was laughing sullenly, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "...this morning and evening, it would be my fault if I didn't go. But now, since my mother loves me, she can't let her down. Are you kind?"
Baihui replied happily, "Prince Shizi is right!"
"Let's go back, there's still a lot to do today."
As soon as Nangong Yue returned to Bixiaotang's room, Que'er greeted her and bowed her knees.
After Nangong Yue sat down, she listened to her report: "Prince Shizi, the servants have already checked, and now the concubine Wei is the one who presides over the central feeder in the palace." As she spoke, she handed the list to Nangong Yue. , "And these were discovered by the slaves in the past two days."
It was indeed Concubine Wei. Nangong Yue nodded slightly, took the order, glanced at it, and raised her brows slightly. Que'er is very good at snooping, and in just two days, she prepared what she wanted.
On the list is the list of the servants of Bixiaotang, which is divided into two categories according to the family-born children and the purchased slaves. The relationship between the other servants in the mansion is intertwined, and it is especially expensive. And some of the children in this family were brought by the Dafang family and the Xiaofang family themselves, and that would involve their relatives in the Fang family...
Queer said embarrassedly: "Prince Shizi, originally the slaves wanted to check their relatives outside, or whether they had purchased property or not, but..." She was really unfamiliar with the place in southern Xinjiang, and for a while Nowhere to start.
Nangong Yue smiled and said, "Que'er, you've done a good job. Don't worry about the rest, let's take it step by step."
Having received Nangong Yue's compliment, Que'er happily responded.
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Yue said again, "Queer, go to Concubine Wei and say that we didn't have enough manpower when we came back, so we want some children from the palace's family."
Xiao Yi has been away from Southern Border for six years, and the people who served him in the past may not be able to use it anymore. This Bixiaotang still needs some people to work.
"Yes, Concubine Shi." Que'er trotted away briskly after taking the order.
Nangong Yue ordered another person to call An Niang over.
After a stick of incense, Que'er came back, and brought back a fat maid in apricot-yellow plain robes, and a dozen or two little maids in blue dresses.
The fat maid ordered the little maids to wait in the yard, while she went into the main room with Queer to meet Nangong Yue.
After the two bowed their knees and saluted, Que'er introduced: "Prince Concubine, this is Mammy Feng. Concubine Wei asked Mama Feng to bring some people to ask Concubine Shi to choose."
Madam Feng glanced at Nangong Yue without a trace, and said respectfully, "Prince Concubine, the servants specially selected the best thirty of them and brought them here, and asked Concubine Shi to take a look and see which ones you like."
Nangong Yue nodded and said politely, "Mother Feng has been bothered."
Nangong Yue took An Niang and Que'er to the yard and looked at the little girls.
Mammy Feng is doing a good job. Judging from the clothes of these little girls, not to mention whether they can do it or not, but at least they all keep themselves clean.
After all, the little girls were still young. When they saw Nangong Yue coming over, they couldn't help but secretly glanced at her, wanting to see what the imperial concubine from the capital looked like. Then he lowered his head as if nothing had happened, and lowered his eyebrows.
After Nangong Yue glanced at it, she had a general idea in her mind, so she whispered a few words in Que'er's ear, and went back to the house by herself.
Que'er cleared her throat to the little maids and said, "I met you for the first time, and I don't know what kind of temperament you are, what you are good at, and who are the people in your family... Now tell me one by one, Then I'll see what errands I can arrange for you. Don't try to fool me, there are so many people in this palace, it can't be true, and it can't be true."
Queer asked them to talk about this for two purposes. First, to pick out those with inappropriate backgrounds, such as those who are related to Xiao Fang’s side; secondly, if this little girl is good at needle and thread, she can’t do it herself. It's just a matter of arranging people to do rough work such as sweeping.
The little maids looked at each other, and some of them looked a little ugly. Originally, their master wanted to take advantage of the fact that the princess was still smeared at the palace, and it seemed that it would not be so smooth. . But those who had a clear conscience immediately calmed down, talked to Queer one by one, Thrush recorded them one by one, and let the maids press their handprints.
In the end, a total of 15 people were selected, and the other little girls let Mammy Feng take them back.
Although they have chosen people, it is not that these people can work in Bixiaotang right now. They still need to follow An Niang for a few days to learn the rules of Bixiaotang clearly, and to do what they should do every day. The most important thing is that you can't enter the yard of Shizi and Shizi, and stay there obediently wherever you should work on weekdays.
As for Que'er, she took the list written down by Thrush Mei to show it to Nangong Yue, who just flipped it over casually and didn't say anything.
Anyway, it's just a rough messenger. Not to mention anything else in the palace, there are a lot of children in the family. If you are not satisfied, you can change it at any time.
At this moment, Xiao Yi came back from outside.
The two had a leisurely lunch together. After the maids served the hot tea for digestion, Nangong Yue drank the tea and excitedly told Xiao Yi what happened after he left in the morning... It must not be missed. Of course, it was the confrontation between her and Xiao Fang.
When he heard Nangong Yue's three words, Xiao Fang couldn't say anything, Xiao Yi's eyes were full of smiles, he put down the tea cup, clasped his fists and said: "Prince Concubine is getting stronger and stronger, I admire it!" He was worried at first. Xiao Fang will use the morning and evening to save Nangong Yue from embarrassment. Even if it is just cloth dishes every day, it is not painful or itchy, but that is enough to make people unhappy. Now Nangong Yue has turned passive into active, and changed the daily routine of morning and evening to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so that even if it spreads out, outsiders will not be able to pick the wrong place.
"Where is it!" Nangong Yue also clasped her fists politely, "This world concubine has such a skill thanks to the dedicated teaching of the prince over the years." She tilted her head, revealing a bright and sly smile, like a Like little fox.
Xiao Yi was dumbfounded, suddenly hugged her and kissed her hard, only to think that his daughter-in-law was too cute, too smart, and too pitiful!
Que'er, who was serving on the side, looked away embarrassedly, thinking to herself, "That's it for now. When the future concubine and concubine are over, how will I live my life?"
The two rubbed together and were intimate for a while, Xiao Yi finally let go of Nangong Yue, got up and said, "Ayue, wait for me here, I'll get something."
After a while, he brought a scroll of paintings with great interest and handed it to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue opened it and took a look, her eyebrows raised slightly. Where is this a painting, it turned out to be a drawing, the drawing of Bixiaotang, from the drawing, the layout of Bixiaotang is clear at a glance.
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Stinky girl, let me show you around Bixiao Hall."
Xiao Yi's thoughts, Nangong Yue naturally understood, a soft light flashed in his eyes.
The two started to stroll around the Bixiao Hall from the inner courtyard.
While walking, Xiao Yi explained to Nangong Yue on the blueprint.
Next to the yard where they lived was a small garden. There were two gates in the garden, one connected to the backyard of the palace, and the other connected to the Bixiao Hall. The small garden is actually not small, but it is nearly half smaller than the large garden behind the palace. The veranda in the garden is circuitous, surrounded by rockeries, lush flowers and trees, shady trees, and a small lake with a water pavilion built on the lake, which should be a good place to enjoy the shade in summer.
Nangong Yue looked at the drawing carefully while observing the small garden. According to the drawing, in front of the small garden is the small flower hall. It would be convenient to entertain guests here. , you can also set up a stage or something... Nangong Yue thoughtfully began to plan.
