[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

In the summer afternoon, the cicadas chirped endlessly. Under the shade of the trees outside the house, birds flying from nowhere to enjoy the shade were building their nests with grass leaves in their mouths.

The maids in the yard sat in the shade one after another. After finishing their work, they didn't even want to swing on the swing. Xueyan directly hugged the rope and fell asleep soundly.

In the room, Daiyu leaned on the couch with her head propped on one hand, and a book with only a few pages turned was placed beside her.

When the wind blows, the pages of the book rustle, and I don't know how many pages have been turned.

"Miss Zijuan, is the princess awake?"

Zijuan was just about to go into the room with a bowl of lotus seed soup. When she heard someone calling herself, she hurriedly handed the lotus seed soup to the rest of the people, and went forward to look at the person.

"Mother Fang, why are you here?"

Nanny Fang is in charge of the group of maids cleaning the garden. She usually sits in the gazebo in the garden, supervising the little maids pruning the branches. The work is not complicated, but the most leisurely.

Originally, there were two nuns who worked in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. They were old and sensible. The most important thing was that they were kind-hearted, good-natured, and would not cause trouble.

But this afternoon, most of them are asleep in the room, and it is not easy for Zijuan to wake them up.

"There's a commotion in the garden."

Zicuckoo was startled when she heard this, how could the work in the garden still make a fuss?It is not possible to judge whoever prunes the branches well.

Pulling Nanny Fang to the side, Zijuan asked softly, "Why did you make a fuss? Because of what?"

"Two little girls, who were young, got into an argument about the clothes. They said that the other party threw dirt on the clothes and did it on purpose. They turned up the old account again, saying that they had knocked over their own things and cut their own clothes. clothes."

Mother Fang said helplessly: "The two maidservants are young, only twelve or thirty, and were sold in early by the family. A while ago, before the prince and concubine arrived, they neglected to discipline and fattened their courage."

When Zicuckoo heard this, she was relieved, but it was just a general verbal dispute, nothing more than a trivial matter. It used to be more lively than this in the Grand View Garden, and even the maids and women's clothes could be pointed at each other behind their backs.

I couldn't help but smiled, "How were the two girls when you came? Did you pull them apart?"

"Pull them apart before leaving. However, the two of you are impulsive, so you want to report to the princess. You can't hide it. If something happens in the future, if I know about it and don't report it, I'm afraid that even I will be involved. " Mother Fang was honest and said directly, "Miss Zijuan, why don't you go and see it first?"

Zijuan glanced back and caught a glimpse of Xueyan sitting there rubbing her eyes, thought for a while, "You wait here for a while, I will come over after I have something to say."

You have to make arrangements for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before you can leave, otherwise Zijuan will not let go.

"I went to the garden with Nanny Fang, you stay here and watch, if the girl wakes up, you go in and take care of her, the two nuns probably won't wake up until later." Zicuckoo stretched out her hand and pinched Xueyan's cheek, "Don't forget what I told you, remember to send the lotus seed soup in later,"

"What are you doing in the garden?"

"The two little girls are ignorant, I'll go and have a look."

Only then did Xueyan wake up a little bit, and nodded, "Then go and have a look, and don't make trouble with the girl in a while, if the girl finds out, she will definitely have to worry about it again."

Zijuan and Xueyan thought of the same thing, but they were afraid that Daiyu would think too much later and couldn't help but be busy with this matter.

These two days are already busy enough, otherwise Daiyu would not have napped for such a long time in her habit, and if Daiyu had to deal with such a trivial matter, then no one in the family would receive monthly money.

"You stare here, I will come as I go."

"Slow down, don't rush."

Seeing Zijuan's back in a hurry, Xueyan couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, it's useless if you are anxious, I'm afraid that the quarrel will be over now, and the fight will start."

"Are you trying to make me less anxious? Obviously, you are making me more anxious." Zijuan said angrily, "Be quiet, don't wake up the girl."

Mother Fang listened to the two talking, one girl at a time, and then remembered that Zijuan and Xueyan were originally brought from the capital, and it sounded like they had grown up with Daiyu since they were young, so she was used to it after all.

The Liangzhou area is far away from the capital, if Ji Yuanlan hadn't come over suddenly and set up Prince Ji's mansion, it would be rare for them to see the nobleman at the foot of the emperor in the capital.

It is indeed extraordinary, and the cost of food and clothing is very particular.

Nanny Fang used to work in a rich family's house, but she rarely encountered such a person. She carefully taught people to fear that something might go wrong, but she was not harsh. At least, this 'roughness' is used to it, how can it be changed at once.

Not to mention that Daiyu was originally from the southern province, and she was far away from the northern Xinjiang. They were busy every day, and they were afraid that Daiyu would be upset.

Just the roster and other things are busy enough.

Arriving in the garden, before arriving at the place, I heard the sound of arguing from the old courtyard. Zijuan frowned and looked at Mother Fang beside her, "What's going on?"

"I was persuaded just now, why are they arguing again now?"

"I'm afraid there is something else going on, let's go and have a look first."

Sighing helplessly, Zijuan never thought that she would be able to do these things with ease, and I am afraid that it is because she has encountered too many things in the past that she is able to be as comfortable as she is today.

When he came to the front, Zicuckoo looked at the two people whose clothes were all torn, and frowned——

This is too unruly, no matter how troublesome it is, it can't be so ugly in front of people. If it spreads out, is there any rules in Prince Ji's Mansion?

"Nurse Fang, take these two maidservants down and lock them in a room separately. There is not much else in the palace, but there are many empty rooms. They will only be given one meal of food and water a day. I will come back after three days to ask why." "Zijuan's voice was not loud but loud, the two servant girls who were torn together just now, one knelt on the ground and dared not get up, and the other stood with an expression of disbelief.

Nanny Fang was stunned. Zijuan's solution was real, and she was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction between the two of them. When the time came——

"Since you're not used to seeing each other, then it's good to separate. Why bother to look at each other and get bored, I'll come back after two days to ask the reason, and I'll also find out with other people what's going on, and take it with me."

"Yes."

Nanny Fang had no choice but to call the two servant girls next to her, and take the two servant girls away one by one.

"It's not the same as us. She's also a servant. What's the matter? I'm trying to please the concubine all the time. I'm afraid she wants to crawl on the prince's bed."

Nanny Fang, who was about to speak, heard the murmur of the maid who was taken away, she was terrified, she quickly looked at Zijuan, but she was stunned when she saw that Zijuan didn't even shake her eyelids.

It's really different to come from the capital.

Zijuan laughed and said: "In the future, if you still want to quarrel with the sisters who live with you, it's okay to quarrel, but if you really tear up and shave your face, don't cry in front of Nanny Fang. You can't get married, Nanny Fang, if this kind of thing happens in the future, you don't need to go to inform the princess, you can handle it yourself, you are an old man, so don't worry about the little girl down there feeling upset when you deal with this kind of thing , you have eaten more food than them for many years."

Hearing that Nanny Fang dared not say anything more, she nodded and said, "En."

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he saw Guanshi Zhang hurried over. Seeing Zijuan, his eyes lit up and he walked over immediately. There was sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be walking quickly.

"It just so happens that you are here, and there is a guest in the front hall, the general's wife from General Gu's mansion."

"General Gu?"

"Is the concubine awake? If she is awake, you have to invite her here, don't make people wait too long." Steward Zhang wiped off his sweat, "This General Gu is the most important figure in the Liangzhou camp, holding the military power in his hands. , apart from Marshal Mighty, General Gu's words are the most effective."

Since she is from the Liangzhou camp, the general's wife should be in the same situation as Daiyu. Fortunately, she is not from the Liangzhou government. There are many ways in the Liangzhou camp and the Liangzhou government. I don't know the situation yet, so I have to be more careful.

In the same big camp, at least the lives are twisted together, and they can't still count on each other.

"I should be awake now, and I have to trouble Manager Zhang to go to the front hall to help entertain, and I will go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion." After Zijuan finished speaking, she glanced at Fang Nanny, "Fang Nanny, what are you doing here? Look at how to deal with it, just give those two maids a lesson, remember it long, and don't do it again in the future."

"kindness."

When Zijuan returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she heard the voice of Xueyan and Daiyu talking, and immediately walked in, and saw that Daiyu had combed her hair again, and she seemed to have woken up for a while, so she hurriedly said: "General Gu's house The general's wife is here."

"The general's mansion?"

Daiyu blinked and looked at Zijuan, and after thinking secretly, she asked in a low voice: "Since we are here, there is no reason why we should not see them."

After speaking, he got up and walked out, "Guan Zhang greeted you in the front hall?"

"Well, I went to the garden just now and met Guanshi Zhang who was about to look for the princess, so I came back first."

"He's really confused. It's good to send someone to spread the word about this kind of thing. It's better to go there in person..." Daiyu looked at Zicuckoo, "What are you doing in the garden? The flowers that I told you to transplant before came out. question?"

This question made Zijuan a little embarrassed, but fortunately she was always clever, "I overturned a pot, but it doesn't matter, it can be saved."

Daiyu nodded, "Tell me, how old is the general's wife? Zijin didn't tell me when she left, she only mentioned the people in the government's mansion. I remember most of them, but the general's mansion must be the same as the Liangzhou camp. It’s so embarrassing that I don’t know what to call it, so it’s embarrassing to be wrong.”

But thinking about it, at her age, among the wives and wives in this circle, they are all young, so calling someone a sister-in-law will never make a mistake.

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, and followed in small steps.

Happy Friday everyone!
