Do good deeds without leaving your name

The bridal chamber stopped red candles last night, and waited until Xiaotang to worship uncle.

After she finished her makeup, she asked her husband in a low voice, whether the thrush is deep or shallow?

Wu Yan can barely be regarded as a literary young man, he can still piece together one or two hundred Tang poems and Song Ci poems in his head, and he woke up on the second day of the wedding because of the biological clock before Hu Nanny came to call him.

Looking at the festive decorations in the room, she didn't feel uncomfortable - it was like staying in a hotel when going on a trip, and this Chengqing Palace was just a temporary residence.

Instead, he saw the dragon, phoenix and red candle as thick as the baby's arm, and the poems just came out of his mind. There was nothing charming about it, he just remembered it.

Although when I was studying in textbooks, the Chinese teacher emphasized the deep meaning of this poem: an exam candidate, before facing an exam related to his official career, the unique anxiety and anticipation.

But Wu Yan feels that it is very suitable for her current situation.

Not long after Wu Yan woke up, Li Zhi also woke up on the other side separated by the screen.The boy has not yet reached the stage of voice change, with a slight nasal voice just woke up: "Ayan, are you awake?"

I don't know when, Li Zhi began to call Wu Yan as A Yan, which is considered unique in Datang.

"Well, get up?" Wu Yan answered Li Zhi.

Outside the house is a row of maids, women, eunuchs, waiting for orders.Hearing that there was a noise in the house, Madam Hu came forward to knock on the door.

Nanny Hu was the nurturing nun that Li Shimin sent to the Wu family before Li Zhi's marriage. In fact, she was also an old man who used to be with Empress Changsun. Now she followed Wu Yan and returned to serve His Royal Highness King Jin.

And Li Zhi didn't like court ladies coming to him in the past, but Abao was the only one who could serve him close.As a result, the division of maidservants in Chengqing Palace was actually empty.

Fortunately, the maids brought in by Princess Jin filled the gap.Mother Hu is naturally the mother in charge who takes care of the maids.

The maidservants filed in, and the mother-in-law and the eunuch waited outside the door for orders.

Nanny Hu is always strong and strong, and she arranges the dressing and washing of King Jin and Princess Wang in an orderly manner.

After washing and dressing up, he went to the main hall, where Ah Bao led a bunch of little maids to deliver today's court food.

When Li Zhi was growing up, he had a good appetite; Wu Yan had always consumed a lot, and his appetite was not small.

The [-] small dishes served along with porridge, rice and snacks were basically eaten by the two of them.

Those who stayed in the main hall to serve were the old people around Li and Wu. Abao, Qingtong, and Cuibai all knew their master's food intake very well. The only one, Nanny Hu, opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. I just suppressed the shock: This princess is too delicious!

After eating, I will go to greet you.

Because Empress Changsun has passed away, the position in the middle palace is still vacant.Early in the morning, Wu Yan was going to follow Li Zhi to the Palace of Eternal Life to meet Li Shimin, the father-in-law.

Wu Yan didn't think there was anything to be nervous about, anyway, the chances of seeing this father-in-law in the future would be very few, and besides, Wu Yan was already satisfied without becoming a martial artist in His Majesty Li Er's harem.

Sure enough, Li Shimin was also not good at talking to his son's wife. In the past, these things were done by Empress Changsun.

So His Majesty Li Er rewarded a pair of jeweled bonsai, a pair of jade ruyi, gold, silk, and brocade, and ordered Li Zhi to be harmonious with his wife, seemingly inadvertently reminding Wu Yan to take good care of her husband.

After being dismissed by Li Shimin, Li Zhi took Wu Yan to offer a stick of incense to Changsun.

Facing the tablet of the Empress Qiangu Xian, Wu Yan didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now she believes in these things to a certain extent. In her heart, she silently thanked Empress Changsun. After all, she was the one who contributed to her marriage with Li Zhi.

Li Shimin wanted to let the pheasant slave take the newly entered daughter-in-law to greet the high-ranking concubines in the palace, but when he heard the report from the palace people that the king of Jin took the princess to offer incense to the empress, he let out a long sigh and gave up. thing.

Wu Yan didn't know that Li Erfang wanted the two of them to meet his wives.

Even if you know it, you won't respond.After all, it is relatively easy to guess Li Shimin's intentions for such an order. It is nothing more than thinking that Li Zhi is young, and after the eldest grandson died of illness, thanks to the care of Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei and others, it is also appropriate to go to see his concubine.

However, Li Zhi's deeds made Li Shimin send someone to say that the concubine of the harem will go to see him again.

So the next thing to see is Li Zhi's brothers and sisters.

It can be seen that Li Shimin's sexual ability is strong, and his sons and daughters are in groups-but then again, His Majesty Li Er does not need to make a lot of effort to have a child, as long as one seed is planted, a fruit can be grown. Emperors basically have children in groups.

Wu Yan met Prince Li Chengqian a few years ago, and seeing him now, she feels that the other party has indeed changed a lot compared to a few years ago.

There is some truth in Xiang Youxinsheng's words. Although Li Chengqian was not a sunny and beautiful boy six years ago, he would never be like this now, with slightly blue eye sockets and hostility in the corners of his eyes.Especially the way he looked at himself, always with a bit of obscenity/evil taste.

Except for Li Chengqian, the other brothers have not been able to see each other, and Li Tai, the fat king of Wei, who has met a few times, is still in Xiangzhou.The other princes are also in the territory.

There are a lot of Li Shimin's daughters, but except for those born by Empress Changsun and Princess Gaoyang who are more lively and distinct, they all sit in a reserved and dignified manner.

Here, Wu Yan received part of the meeting gift, and also gave out part of the meeting gift, because Li Zhi is relatively small among Li Shimin's children, and overall it is not a loss.

I met all the people who should be interviewed in one morning.

Because Li Zhi gave Wu Yan the cool jade to relieve the heat, Li Zhi and Wu Yan returned to the Chengqing Palace, but they were not too embarrassed, but the palace people who followed were all covered in sweat.

Li Zhi found Eunuch Hu and told him that in the future, all the things around him will be taken care of by the princess.This indeed echoed the etiquette of the time.

Although Eunuch Hu didn't know the relationship between Wu Yan and Li Zhi, seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had so simply handed over the rights of the inner house to the princess, it showed that he was still satisfied with the princess.Therefore, after King Jin and Princess Wang took their lunch break, they brought the account books, keys, and matching cards to find Princess Wang.

Li Zhi went to the study after his lunch break.

Wu Yan was talking about the dowry with Qingtong, Cuibai and nurse Xu who were beside her.

Xu asked: "Princess, should we take advantage of these few days to settle the dowry?"

Wu Yan shook her head: "If my guess is correct, Your Highness and I will not stay in Chang'an City for long, so there is no need to spend this effort to open it."

Mrs. Xu is a servant of the inner house, but she has also heard about the prince's vassal. Thinking about what her lady said makes sense, she said something else: "Princess, Mr. Hu said yesterday that His Highness doesn't like to be bossy." The servant girl is serving her personally, and Abao used to take care of everything, how should we arrange the maidservants at hand now?" Mrs. Xu was referring to Mr. Hu, who was referring to Abao's godfather, Eunuch Hu.

Mrs. Xu didn't mean to listen to the sound from the sidelines: I am the young lady's nanny, and when I encountered some things that were inconvenient for the maids to handle, I always did it by myself.Now that there is still Hu Momo on my head, I can't help but feel a little uneasy - after all, compared to the backstage, I and Hu Momo are far behind.

Naturally, Wu Yan knew that there would be some adjustments between the servants serving her and the original servants of Chengqing Palace.Fortunately, Li Zhi asked Eunuch Hu and Abao to clean up the Chengchengqing Hall early on.

Hearing what the nanny said, Wu Yan said to Xu Shi who was gently fanning herself: "The maids who came with me as dowry were all selected earlier, and they basically have nothing to worry about in the Wu family. I left Chang'an with me. There are many palace people in the Chengqing Palace who will stay. The nanny first restrains the people we brought, don't let them cause trouble, and lead the idle errands first, and wait for a while , I will arrange it naturally."

Mrs. Xu felt relieved when she heard the words, nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry, this old slave will definitely restrain the little girls."

The whole family of Qingtong and Cuibai came with Wuyan as companions, and Wuyan promised to assign them a steward after they have trained/taught the maid who takes over.Therefore, the two also serve Wu Yan wholeheartedly.

While talking, Chun'er, the second-class maid outside the door, came to report that it was Mr. Hu who asked to see the princess.

Wu Yan rolled his eyes and roughly guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, Eunuch Hu came to transfer the management rights of the entire Chengqing Palace.

Because I heard that Li Zhi mentioned a few times that the chief eunuch Hu Gonggong he focused on conquering, Wu Yan can be considered to know this person, and Hu Gonggong who can get mixed up to this point is an old man, and it is rare in the palace that he is capable but not black-hearted of.

Wu Yan smiled and said: "Your Highness said, Manager Hu is a man of outstanding ability. Thanks to Manager Hu's management earlier, the entire Chengqing Hall was able to be organized."

Eunuch Hu was summoned after saluting. Hearing what the princess said, he immediately bowed his body: "This old slave can't be praised by the princess like this."

Seeing the gray-haired old man salute himself is quite unpleasant.

Wu Yan casually flipped through the previous account books, and then said: "Eunuch Hu must also know that His Highness will leave the domain soon. I don't think there is any need to change all the regulations in Chengqing Palace. There is only one thing that needs to be troubled by Eunuch." .”

"Princess, just give orders." Eunuch Hu, who is the chief manager of Chengqing Palace, naturally knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's decision to become a vassal was already a certainty.

"Our palace people here need to be sorted out by father-in-law, pick out the capable and smart ones, and take them to Bingzhou. Keep the honest and honest ones to guard the house."

"Yes."

..............................

"Don't you ask me what I did today?" After washing up, Wu Yan chatted with Li Zhi in pajamas with a wide robe and long sleeves.

Li Zhi said very reassuringly: "Of course there is nothing wrong with Ah Yan's actions."

"My heart is so generous. I took a rough look at your treasury list. Your Highness, Prince Jin, please take care of me!" After Eunuch Hu left in the afternoon, Wu Yan carefully looked at the account books and the list.The account books are clear and clear, and there are comparisons of food and clothing expenses and human relations; there is a thick stack of warehouse bills, which shows that Li Zhi is a local tyrant, a local tyrant!

The young Li Zhi knew the meaning of Baoyang, and his face was blushed by Wu Yan's ridicule.

Wu Yan laughed loudly: "It's not good for you to be so easily shy. When you arrive in Bingzhou, you will be the leader there, you must show some momentum, and you can't blush all the time."

Li Zhi opened his mouth, let out a breath, and whispered, "I'm not always like this."

Wu Yan, who has a keen sense of hearing, naturally heard clearly. Seeing the young man rebutting himself seriously, he finally nodded: "Okay, I believe you."

There is always a maid who keeps watch at night in the ear room.Qingtong and Cuibai only heard the clear laughter of their own lady, but didn't understand what was said inside, and felt that it would be great if Wangfei and King Jin could get along well.

..............................

On the day of Guining, Wu Yan once again had a deep understanding of what imperial power is.

Even if Wu Yuanqingnai was embarrassed by his cleverness in the past, it is not as refreshing as him bowing to him now.

Wu Yan left the people in front to Li Zhi to deal with. In the back house, Yang, Wu Ying, and Wu Shun who brought his son to the Wu family were all there, as well as some uncles, aunts, sisters and so on.

It's really because the Wu family has never had a prince or concubine, and all kinds of relatives come to work together.

However, most of the people wanted to see the new concubine Jin with their own eyes, so that they could have something to talk about when they went back, and they didn't want to ask for something right away.After exchanging pleasantries, all the female relatives gave space to the mother and daughter with winking eyes.

Although Yang felt that Yuanhua was not very dependent on her before, she still felt a little sad when she thought that she would not be able to see each other often after raising her daughter for 16 years.Of course, this bit of sadness quickly dissipated under Wu Shun's relief.

Wu Shun wiped the pastry crumbs from the corners of her son's mouth with a handkerchief in his hand, while persuading Yang Shi, the coral bracelet Wu Yan gave her was on his wrist: "Mom, why are you so sad? Hua is enjoying the blessings. Since then, you have straightened your back, and see if Wu Yuanqing will ask you to move out of the main courtyard. And you, Yuan Fang, don't always be submissive. After Yuan Hua got married, No one is hanging around you anymore, you must be able to stand up by yourself."

This is the rare time in recent years that Wu Yan can hear Wu Shun say something that is not so harsh. It can be seen that the status of Princess Jin is very useful.

It's not that Wu Yan doesn't know, in the past, because he refused to follow Wu Shun's wishes, Wu Shun felt that he was weak.Now because of relying on his own power, Yang's life in the Wu family and Wu Shun's life in the Helan family are much smoother, and Wu Shun naturally becomes calmer.

But Wu Yan was never a steamed stuffed bun, and the way Wu Shun pointed fingers at him before was really unattractive, but now it is not easy to play the role of sisters and family members, so he just listened to Wu Shun's words and smiled without saying a word.

Fortunately, there is also a little white rabbit, Wu Ying, who has been holding her second sister ever since she saw her. Wu Shun insists on being the eldest sister, so she can't put down her figure and talk like Wu Ying by pulling Wu Yan's sleeve.

Li Zhi in the front hall had a serious face, and Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang didn't dare to do anything wrong.

The main reason is that this brother-in-law is not only noble, but also younger.Men are always mixing emotions at the wine table, but a twelve-year-old prince, who dares to let him drink?

In the end, Wu Yuanqing let out a sigh of relief and got himself drunk.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanshuang was more clever, so he stayed awake from beginning to end, and entertained His Royal Highness King Jin well.

When resting at night, Wu Yuanshuang, who never came to say that his elder brother was not, couldn't help complaining to his wife Zhao: "I really don't know what my elder brother is thinking. Second sister Guining, he was drunk in front of His Royal Highness Jin Wang Drunk!"

Mrs. Zhao sneered: "Isn't elder brother always like this?"

..............................

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the birthday of Princess Xincheng, and the newly appointed sister-in-law Jiu Wuyan didn't find any sensational gifts to send there—if something novelty is made this time, what will happen next time for Gao Yang's birthday and Jin Yang's birthday?What should Saint Qianqiu do?It's better to be safe and follow the usual list.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin really issued a decree in the memorials flying all over the sky to ask Jin Wang Li Zhi to become a vassal.Along with the imperial decree, Li Zhi was rewarded with a house in Yankangfang—after all, Li Zhi was married, and it would be difficult for him to live in the palace with his family when he went to Beijing in the future.The gate of Chengqing Hall was closed, waiting for the next owner.

Because Eunuch Hu knew what to do, he divided up his servants early on, and set aside some of them to guard the Prince Jin's Mansion in Yankangfang, and Nanny Hu was among them.

Wu Yan showed Li Zhi the final list, Li Zhi reached out and tapped the table and said, "You can just figure it out."

It's like he doesn't care about anything.

After packing up and attending the farewell banquet of all parties, Wu Yan also took time to go back to Wu's house and went to find Xiao Xiangshi: "I know my sister-in-law is a smart person, so let's not speak secretly. Big brother sometimes gets impatient, and still I hope my sister-in-law will persuade you more on weekdays, otherwise my sister will not feel at ease in Bingzhou."

When Xiao Xiangshi heard Wu Yan's words were threatening, he naturally felt a little unhappy, thinking: I used to stop my husband from doing stupid things less often?Which time was it not between you and your husband?Naturally, I can understand these words without you, Princess Jin.

Seeing that Xiao Xiangshi bowed his head respectfully, Wu Yan fiddled with his fingertips and said, "I have secured a place for Brother Jun in the Imperial College, and Brother Mao from the Second Brother's family also has a share."

Wu Yan doesn't care what name or person his nominal nephew is in history, anyway, he sells it to Xiao Xiangshi: the Wu family's family background is not prominent, and it is difficult to get a child into the Imperial College—— From the side, we can see the incompetence of Wu Yuanqing, who is now the head of the family.

After Xiao Xiangshi was beaten with a big stick and sweetened with carrots, he naturally agreed willingly.

Then Wu Yan went to look for the little white rabbit sister, and the little white rabbit sister also knew that the second sister was going to leave, and her eyes were red before she could speak, she looked more like a little white rabbit.

Wu Yan patted her head: "Why are you crying, we can always see each other once a year. Eldest sister was right last time, I'm not at home anymore, you need to be able to stand up by yourself." After all, she was like a fairy who spread wealth, Handed a box of jewelry to my younger sister: "I ordered this later in Zhenbaozhai. I don't think your Jiji will be in time, so I will give it to you earlier."

Wu Ying cried while hugging the box.

Wu Yan, who got it together, told Tian Xing, Hong Zao, and the nanny Qiu Shi who were beside her: "Take care of the third lady, and there will be a lot of rewards when I come back." She then asked Cui Bai to share a few purses with Qiu Shi and the others. .

Thank you for not mentioning this.

Chun'er, the second-class maid beside Wu Yan, also got Qingtong's order early on, and went to find the little maid's mother who came back to inform her: "The princess said, remember your benefits. What does your family want?"

That woman is also a smart person, and she knew that being a servant must be interesting, so she refused: "Miss Chun'er, we haven't done anything, how dare we ask the princess to remember, we can't do it, we can't do it."

It's because this woman is considered a child of the Wu family, and the seven aunts and eight aunts are all in the Wu family. If it weren't for this, their family would be very willing to follow Wu Yan to work in the Prince Jin's mansion.Now, it is true that Gao Zhi'er can't be found elsewhere, otherwise my family will leave, what will my relatives do?

Fortunately, that matter was kept secret in the past, and no one knew about it.I won't be able to get along in Wufu.

Just when the mother-in-law was lamenting that she had a life of seeing blessings and not a life of enjoying blessings, Chun'er stuffed her with a purse: "Even so, the princess has ordered you to continue working hard. In the future, your family will If there is any difficulty, just go quietly to find the back door of Prince Jin’s Mansion in Yankangfang, the gatekeeper has to be ordered, and the seal will be in the purse.”

After the mother-in-law sent Chun'er away, she hurriedly opened her purse: The hard thing I touched just now was really gold, gold!Even if I am a servant now, sticking to the principle of "wealth should not be revealed", there is no way to use it, but don't panic if you have money in your hand!

Look at the purse again, it is the most common style, and I don't know where there is a secret...

The mother-in-law who couldn't think about it felt that the second girl was really generous after she became the princess of Jin, so she decided to continue "lurking" to work for the princess of Jin!

In September of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Jin Wang Li Zhi became a vassal.

From then on, Li Zhi was not allowed to leave the territory without an edict.
