[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

heat.

Daiyu felt as if she was leaning against a stove, it was extremely hot, she just turned over but found a hand on her waist, froze for a moment, then shrank into the arms of the person in front of her.

"When did you come back?"

"Children."

It really came back at midnight, so I'm afraid I have only slept for less than two hours now.Daiyu buried her head in Ji Yuanlan's arms and whispered, "Are you still going tomorrow morning?"

"I'll go again in the afternoon, but I don't think I'll be back at night."

Daiyu was startled, and nodded slightly.

If you don't come back at night, then you have to stay in the army to discuss business matters, so why come back tonight in a hurry?

Sighing lightly, "Then you will come with me when we meet Guanshi Zhang and the nuns tomorrow morning?"

"My wife wants to stand up. As a husband, I want to be there to support you. Even if I don't speak, I can give you confidence."

Ji Yuanlan hugged him a little tighter, and felt a little hot again, so he couldn't help laughing, "Did you wake up from the heat just now? It's sweltering today, and it may rain in two days."

"It's a little hot, but it's better now." Daiyu said softly, breathing lightly, "Do you feel hot?"

"some."

"Then what are you doing next to me?" Daiyu stretched out her hand to push Ji Yuanlan, and said angrily, "Stay away from me."

Hearing this, Ji Yuanlan tightened his arms, lowered his head and kissed Daiyu's forehead, "What you said just now was false, but what you said now is true."

Knowing that Ji Yuanlan always talks like this, Daiyu curled her lips and let him hug her honestly. There was a familiar breath in her nose, which was much more peaceful than when she just fell asleep.

Although he didn't have the habit of recognizing the bed, but suddenly he was alone in a strange bedroom, and everything around him felt a blunt atmosphere, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Go back to sleep, it's still early."

"kindness."

Daiyu closed her eyes, yawned, feeling drowsy again, rubbed herself in Ji Yuanlan's arms and fell asleep again.

During the day, he was on his way, all the way to the place to settle down, and it was quite troublesome to discuss how to take care of the whole palace.

Hearing Daiyu's breathing, Ji Yuanlan's expression became more gentle.

Early in the morning, after Zijuan and Xueyan cleaned up, they ordered the servant girl to fetch water and planned to enter the room to wake Daiyu up. As soon as they reached the door, Xueyan was stopped by Zijuan just as Xueyan was about to open the door.

Xueyan was taken aback, looking at Zijuan.

"how--"

'knock knock'

"Is the girl awake?"

Zijuan shook her head at Xueyan, and shouted inside: "We come in and wait for the girl to freshen up, can we wait for a while?"

Xueyan was wondering, when she heard Ji Yuanlan's voice coming from inside.

"Come in."

What, when did the prince come back!Xueyan was surprised and looked at Zijuan, when did Zijuan know about it?Did you find it when you woke up last night?

Seeing her bewildered look, Zijuan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, go in first, I also can't sleep well at night, I only know that the prince is back when I hear the voice outside, you say Prince Ji's mansion, then the girl Isn't that Princess Ji?"

"It is indeed Princess Ji."

It will be different in the future. When I was in the capital, I was still in the Yongkang Palace, and I didn’t need to be the master of the house, let alone manage a palace. Now in Liangzhou, everything will start again. She is the head of the house, whether she wants it or not. From now on, she will be the master of Prince Ji's mansion. After all, Ji Yuanlan probably has little time to take care of it.

When Ji Yuanlan was talking with Daiyu in front of the dressing table, Zijuan and Xueyan came in with water. Seeing them sitting and talking together, they tacitly walked to the side of the bed and began to make the bed.

Thanks to Zijuan's thoughtful thinking about it just now, it would be embarrassing if she was as careless as Xueyan and just pushed open the door to come in, even if the two of them were just as normal as they are now, it would be a little embarrassing.

It's different from being in the boudoir before, no matter what, there is only Daiyu in the room. The two of them have been with Daiyu for many years, and they have never seen what they look like, so they don't need to worry too much, but they are married. It's different from before, they should keep an eye on them so that they don't encounter things they shouldn't encounter when they enter the door.

They were not shy, and Daiyu might die of shame.

"My lord, do you want Dongfu to come in and serve you?"

"No, you just need to wait for the princess to wash up."

"Yes."

Zijuan nodded, walked behind Daiyu, and combed her hair carefully, "If the attack is serious, girl, tell me, by the way, when will the prince come back?"

"I came back at night, by the way, have you finished what I told you yesterday?"

"Everyone in our yard has been counted, and their ages are roughly known. They are all little girls in the sixteenth or seventeenth year. There can't be too many nanny, won't you still say that you want to take over Yanmao? If you really leave a small-minded person, I'm afraid I won't be reconciled if Yanmao comes later. "

Zijuan replied truthfully, "If the girl feels good in her heart, then she can stay here. If she doesn't find a match, she can go to another yard to make adjustments."

Hearing that Daiyu nodded, she had an idea in her heart, and indeed this was the only way to go about this matter, but even so, there was still some hesitation in her heart.

There are only her and Ji Yuanlan in the palace. Even if they have children in the future, there is no need to have so many mothers and maids around to serve them. I don’t know what the Liangzhou government thinks, but they sent so many people in at once. Not to mention that Liangzhou is a sparsely populated area, where did so many people come to serve in one place.

If it is spread to the outside world, the reputation of extravagance and wastefulness of Prince Ji's Mansion will never be removed.

"In other courtyards? There are no people living in other courtyards in this palace. Going there to make adjustments, I have nothing to do. I paid a monthly fee to support a bunch of people." Ji Yuanlan had already come out from behind the screen, dressed in clothes Neat, except for the bun that hasn’t been combed, it’s tidy, “I’ll talk to them about this before I go to the camp this afternoon, but it’s probably impossible to go back. Not a job to earn a living."

Hearing this, Daiyu was stunned, "Then what should I do? Although the palace is not small, there are really not many things to do."

Last night, I was talking about this issue with Ding’s case. They actually arranged 96 people, which is indeed a bit more. There is no need for so many people in the palace. In the past, there were so many people living in the Grand View Garden, and it was only a few people. How many people?Now Ji Yuanlan and her are the masters. With so many people to support, sooner or later the family will be unable to make ends meet.

Ji Yuanlan works in the camp, but he can't support so many people.

How could that little salary support hundreds of people.

"Don't you still have some tenants and shops? Let's sum it up later and send them to do these things."

Hearing this, Daiyu rolled her eyes, pondering the feasibility of Ji Yuanlan's words.

It's really tiring, why come to Liangzhou, Ji Yuanlan is busy, and she has no time to relax.

"If you are entangled in this matter, you will be entangled in it for the rest of your life. You can't figure it out. The Liangzhou government sent such a big mansion and so many people. The purpose is not for you and me, but for the Yongkang Palace. So since it has arrived, then put it away. Alright." Ji Yuanlan stood at Daiyu's hand, took the bead flower from Zicuckoo's hand, and inserted it gently for Daiyu, "Madam knows how to know people, so why not sort out this matter slowly."

"You left these things and asked me to deal with them alone."

"Didn't I give you a right-hand assistant? Although Ding An didn't ask about the affairs of the inner house before, he was also a good hand. He inquired about things quickly, and he was quick to handle things. If someone bullies you when you are young, you can just arrange Ding An to teach you a lesson. Keep it to let you vent your anger."

Daiyu thought it made sense when she heard Ji Yuanlan's words at first, but who knew that the more she listened, the more wrong she became, and what Ji Yuanlan said later changed completely.

He blamed and said: "You are the only one who can say this, and you are not afraid to spread your notoriety as Prince Ji."

"Then spread the word, anyway, I don't care." Ji Yuanlan supported Daiyu's shoulders, bent slightly and said: "I'm too busy with military affairs, so I don't want to mess with this group of people, but, cool The ladies of the state government are afraid that they will come after a while, so you have to be careful."

"I don't know what the lord's opinion is, so I don't hesitate to teach you."

Hearing the ridicule in Daiyu's words, Ji Yuanlan gave her a doting smile, and scratched the tip of her nose, "It's not enough to teach you, but these ladies only think about how to climb up to the powerful to save face for their masters, of course there are also worries." Be virtuous and virtuous.”

"Have you heard about it?"

"The camp is full of men, and sometimes men's mouths are broken faster than women's." Ji Yuanlan smiled after finishing speaking, and sat next to him and took Daiyu's hand, "Click the bun for me? "

Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan who pushed her away, and couldn't laugh or cry. This person can surprise her all the time, like a box that always hides a box. Every time you open it, you can find different surprises and surprises. .

Curling her lips, Daiyu walked behind Ji Yuanlan, "You have a thick skin."

"If you don't do this, how can I marry you back to the palace, there is Princess Lao."

"Absurd."

Zijuan and Xueyan who were tidying up in the back looked at each other and quietly retreated while listening to their conversation as if no one was watching.

Why didn't she know that her girl also had such a background, every time she was with the prince, she seemed to be a different person, but her speech was still the same, but from the corners of her eyes and brows, even if she shook her head helplessly, she could always see the difference.

"You said the girl is—"

"It's really different after becoming a relative."

Wen Yan Xueyan seemed to understand and said: "I used to think that it was rare for a girl to joke and joke in front of people, but now I realize that it's not that the girl doesn't want to say it, it just depends on who she tells it to. What did the wife and the old lady think, even—"

"Why mention that family? The girl has been away from there for half a year, so I won't mention it anymore." Zijuan said angrily: "No matter what you think, it is true that you look down on our girl, isn't it that the girl has nothing She is helpless and weak and sick, which is why those people don't like it, but the girl never really pokes other people's painful feet when she jokes on weekdays, so she can't make a joke."

Zijuan is a little annoyed when she thinks about her stay in Jia's mansion, and when she thinks that Daiyu is seriously ill and almost dies, Jia's mansion is planning to marry Baoyu and Baochai without telling the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so she becomes angry.

If Ji Yuanlan was really there, the day when the second master of Jia's Bao got married would be the day when Daiyu's soul returned to the west.

"Don't be really angry. I didn't mention that family on purpose. Look at you, every time I mention this matter, I get so angry. Even the girl is not angry. Why are you still so angry?" Seeing that Zijuan was really angry, Xueyan quickly explained: "It's not worth getting angry with them, and now Jia's mansion is not what it used to be."

"You don't have to make trouble, and you don't have to deal with those people who go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Before they get married, they have to come to ask Daiyu to intercede for the Jia family, and even in front of Ji Yuanlan. They really don't treat Daiyu as one of their own, how can this be so.

In the past, she didn't always take Daiyu seriously, but if something happened, she would ask her to bow her head in front of her future husband's house and beg for mercy. After this, how will she behave in the palace?I really don't think about Daiyu at all.

"What are you two talking about there?" Daiyu walked out of the room with her skirts in hand, stood there looking at Xueyan and Zijuan and asked, "Has breakfast been delivered?"

"I have already gone to urge it, and it should be brought soon."

"En." Daiyu nodded, looked at the maidservants in the courtyard who were looking at her curiously, then turned to look at Ji Yuanlan, "What time are you leaving in the afternoon?"

"Shen Shi."

Application time?There is still a period of time, and there is still a long time before noon, but Shen Shi will go to Daying from here, and it will be almost You when it arrives.

Crossed the threshold and returned to the room, sat down at the table, "You go back now, when will you be back?"

"I won't be back until the afternoon of the next day."

Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yuanlan when she heard the words, she had already counted the day in her heart, she would stay in the camp for two nights, and these two nights were——

A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his eyes to cover them up, "The military is busy, so you leave the Ding case here, won't you delay the business?"

"The affairs in the military are business matters, and the house is not a trivial matter. The house is uneasy. How can I rest assured when I am outside? Besides, you don't like to deal with these things. There is Ding's case. If you say what to do, he will supervise, and Dong Fu will follow." Help me, you should relax too." Ji Yuanlan stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's hand, "I didn't want you to meddle in these matters, but I promised Yizhi before, so that you can be as comfortable as you are in Lin's mansion, and you don't have to worry about it. Now it seems that it is I broke my promise."

Things changed too fast. Before marrying Daiyu, Ji Yuanlan never thought that he would be sent to Liangzhou and stay here permanently, but he was too busy to get away, and Daiyu had to take care of everything.

Although the people in Prince Ji's Mansion are not comparable to those in Yongkang Palace, Daiyu has no experience in the past, and she is still young. Domineering and likes to rely on the old to sell the old, can not be beaten or scolded, but he is still unrepentant.

When meeting this kind of person, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you can't still provoke them, it will only make you feel bad.

Staring at Ji Yuanlan's eyes, Daiyu smiled and bent her eyes, tilted her head and asked, "It turns out that the prince is so thoughtful, but I am talking too much."

"Why do you even praise people so differently?"

"Who praised you?"

"Princess Ji praised me."

Hearing this, Daiyu's face became hot, and she glared at Ji Yuanlan, shy and annoyed, but she didn't make Ji Yuanlan restrain herself at all, on the contrary, she laughed loudly, her appearance was full of complacency.

Since they got married, Daiyu and Ji Yuanlan didn't spend much time together, and they didn't meet as much with their sons before they got married.

Who knew that being sent to Liangzhou suddenly, this journey is the real day and night together, seeing each other all the time, Daiyu finally understands that people really can't be greedy, once they have concerns, they will become more and more greedy, Even after being separated for two days, I feel lovesick.

"My lord, my concubine, breakfast is here."

Zijuan waited at the door until neither of them opened their mouths before coming forward, "The doctor came to see it yesterday, and said that he told the princess to use some light ones during this time, so as not to leave deep scars."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Just say it will be cured in a month." Daiyu finished speaking in front of Zijuan.

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you for? Can I still lose my arm?"

Ji Yuanlan glanced at Zijuan, Zijuan nodded, seeing Daiyu looking at her, she had to turn around and leave with her head down—she didn't dare to participate in the two bickering, she felt embarrassed even standing by the side, far away Some are better.

Seeing Ji Yuanlan looking at her, Daiyu raised her eyebrows, "Don't you believe what I said?"

"Sometimes you are stronger than anyone else."

Knowing that the road ahead is a person who can still hit a wall, Ji Yuanlan has never met a few people in his life, and one of them is Daiyu, whom he tried every means and painstakingly to marry back home.

When he saw Daiyu before, he only felt that Daiyu was not cold, but on the surface he didn't have a deep friendship with others, but in his heart he put the person he valued in an irreplaceable position.

"kindness."

Daiyu glanced at Ji Yuanlan, saw him bow his head and concentrate on drinking porridge, and suddenly asked: "Do you think I have left a scar?"

Ji Yuanlan couldn't help but look at Daiyu, "Yes, the princess's body was originally made of icy muscles and bones, but she left a scar for no reason, and I feel regretful."

"Then what should I do? I have this scar, and the doctor gave up my idea of ​​looking for some muscle-creating ointment, saying that it is just a deceptive thing, and if you want it in the world, you have to get it from the gods." I took it, but—" Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan and sighed, "If the prince really dislikes it, why not—"

"The princess used to be a fairy-like younger sister. You might as well ask yourself, maybe after a month, there is really no scar left."

Irregular.

Daiyu drank the porridge and wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, "When I came from the capital, my mother's illness has not recovered yet, so you want to send a letter back to the palace?"

"I just arrived yesterday, and I have sent Dingan Feige to pass the letter back to the capital. I am afraid that I will be able to arrive in the capital in two days. It will only take four or five days to wait for the reply from there." Ji Yuanlan glanced at the snow geese who came in to clean up, Leading Daiyu out, "Originally I wanted you to write it yourself, but I think you are too busy to take care of it, why don't I write it and send it back first, and you will come back later."

"Is there any brother there?"

"All."

Daiyu nodded, thinking of something, "I don't know how my mother's illness is. Although Yun'an said that there is nothing serious when she left, the illness has dragged on for a long time and has not improved. How can I not worry."

"Don't worry, my mother's illness has been like this for many years. It's an old illness. It's a little more serious this year, probably due to a cold. If something happens, you and I won't be able to leave the capital." Ji Yuanlan and Daiyu walked side by side. On the path in the front hall, newly transplanted roses are planted on both sides of the stone path at the foot, and a nest of bamboo is planted near the courtyard wall.

Looking at the nest of bamboos, Daiyu suddenly remembered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"The courtyard is still called Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

"kindness."

Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan, saw that Ji Yuanlan was smiling, and her eyes became more gentle - Ji Yuanlan knew and understood, so she was happy.

It's not because of nostalgia for the past, but because the two met in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Ji Yuanlan rescued her life in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Tomorrow, let Ding's case have someone come and replace the plaque."

Ding An, who happened to come over, heard this and was at a loss, but he also knew that he must be asked to do coolies.

When Daiyu saw Ding An approaching, she remembered Ji Yuanlan's words again.

"You left the case of Ding here, isn't it a little overkill? He didn't ask about the inner house before, but now he is here, maybe he might as well go to the camp with you." Daiyu whispered: "Have you asked him what he meant?" ?”

"He should rest."

Of course, Ji Yuanlan would not admit that it was because she was worried about Daiyu and Ding's case. Since Daiyu, the princess of Ding's case, still had doubts, it would be better to let Ding's case follow Daiyu for a while. Naturally, he also understood whether Daiyu was worth Ji Yuanlan's troubles or not.

Walking in front of the two, Ding An saluted and said: "Guan Zhang and a dozen nuns are already waiting in the front hall, the prince and princess are going now?"

"Since you're all waiting in the front hall, let's go now."

"Yes."

Ding An stepped aside, Ji Yuanlan nodded, and led Daiyu to the front hall.

When they arrived at the front hall, Guanshi Zhang and more than a dozen nuns saw the two arrived, and they knelt down to greet them as soon as they sat down.

"This is not the capital city, and I only got the title today because of the grace of the saints. I don't need to give a big gift in normal times." Ji Yuanlan took a sip of tea and looked at the kneeling people, "Get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

Hearing this, Ji Yuanlan looked at Daiyu who was beside her, and saw that Daiyu frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about how to speak.

Sensing the look in his eyes, Daiyu glanced back at him, then relaxed her brows and smiled at him.

"Guard Zhang."

"exist."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask about the recent arrangements of the family and some trivial matters, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future." Seeing Steward Zhang standing up, Daiyu responded angrily, and couldn't help but feel helpless—she Doesn't it look majestic?How can you scare people like this just by saying a word.

Could it be that after being together with Ji Yuanlan for a long time, even his temper has changed.

"Excuse me, princess, I will explain everything one by one."

"Now the maids and servants in the house are all registered, including age, marriage, long-term workers and short-term workers, how much they pay per month, how to reward and punish them, and their origins have been found out. Don't recruit people who are wanted by the court. Or the person who is guilty of the crime is entangled, I'm afraid it's hard to tell."

Originally, what Daiyu wanted to ask was the same, but after several people's discussion last night, there were just a few more questions that should be asked.

Upon hearing this, Guanshi Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The time is short, and the roster of the people in the house has not been sorted out yet."

"If you start sorting it out now, when will it be sorted out?"

"About five days."

"Then five days later, I have to trouble Steward Zhang to deliver the roster to me."

After Daiyu said this, even Zijuan and Xueyan couldn't help but want to whisper.

On the side, Ji Yuanlan watched calmly, he said earlier that the person he likes is naturally unique in the world, and he can even learn how to take care of the inner house.

As expected of Princess Ji.
