Although Rong Le has always been convinced of Wan Chengzheng, but this time the other party suddenly said that Wan Chengdai is about to get married, Rong Le is still dubious about this.

Based on the incident of being arrested before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Wan Chengdai had to disappear for a few months first, right? Now this gossip is still being circulated outside.

Even if someone really took the risk for the sake of profit, they had to wait a while before talking about it, otherwise it would not be good for their own reputation.

Wan Chengzheng didn't take it seriously, he reached out and nodded Rongle's head, "Do you really think this is a big deal?"

Seeing Rong Le's puzzled expression, he explained, "In the previous incident, Wan Chengdai was ashamed under the eyes of everyone, and was caught by Qu Mingxuan in disheveled clothes. It doesn't matter that the location is in a brothel."

In the eyes of most of the aristocratic families, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is just an entertainment place, and the prostitutes inside are playthings for fun. If you really take them seriously, you will make people laugh out loud.

And after all, this is a rumor related to romance, and the impact on Wan Chengdai himself is not too great.

Wan Chengzheng said again: "There will be an official draft at the beginning of next month, Princess Duan should finalize Wan Chengdai's marriage before then."

Not only Wan Chengdai, but all families in Beijing who have no intention of participating in the draft should take advantage of this time to make marriage contracts for their daughters.

After all, apart from the families who want to make a fortune, there are also some families who are more conservative. They would rather keep the family business than try the shortcut that may lead to the family's collapse if they fail.

It turned out that Wan Chengzheng was right, and within a few days, Princess Duan found him.

Now Rong Le feels awkward looking at the gentle-faced Princess Duan.

He is not stupid. Although Wan Chengzheng never told him the whole story of his injury, he can guess it himself.

Wan Chengzheng seems indifferent, but he will also return kindness to those who treat him sincerely.

If Princess Duan was really as loving as she showed, Wan Chengzheng would not be so targeting her and Wan Chengdai.

In fact, from Wan Chengdai's attitude, one can also infer the mentality of Princess Duan.From a certain point of view, the mother and child are indeed alike, they both love to make superficial work, but it is so fake that people can see through it at a glance.

Rong Le sat aside, looking very well-behaved, with her hands neatly placed on her lap.

Princess Duan smiled and said: "Le'er don't have to be restrained, I told you when you first came here, just treat this place as your own home."

Rong Le chuckled, "After all, it is in front of the concubine mother. The concubine treats the younger generation kindly, but the younger generation cannot be proud of being favored."

Princess Duan was choked by his words, so she had to take a sip of tea first, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "You also know that due to Zheng'er's poor health, the marriage has been delayed until now. Dai'er's marriage is also in vain. It just so happened that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet a few days ago, a lady and I were interested and wanted to make an engagement, and I'm busy with this matter recently. I used to take care of such a big palace. Now that I can't keep my mind, I want you to come and help me."

Rong Le couldn't help being surprised, what the princess said was exactly the same as what Wan Chengzheng had guessed.

But he put on a frightened look on his face, "This... I have never taken care of family affairs, I am afraid that I will be entrusted by my mother and concubine."

Concubine Duan said, "Isn't something familiar once? I haven't done it before, so I just took this opportunity to practice at home." She pointedly said, "If there is anything you don't understand, you might as well ask the steward. .”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Rong Le to answer, he said directly, "Then it's settled, Le'er shouldn't be too busy these days."

Rong Le couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Walking out of the front yard, he stepped quickly and hurried back to the small courtyard.

Wan Chengzheng didn't go to the study today, but was standing by the desk with a piece of paper spread out on it. He was holding a pen, as if he was writing.

Hearing Rong Le's footsteps, he paused, put down the pen, picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped his hands, and asked, "How?"

Rong Le gave him a thumbs up, "Can you pinch and count?"

Wan Chengzheng chuckled, "It's not difficult to guess. Do you know which family you are married to?"

Rong Le shook her head, "Princess Duan didn't tell me, but she asked me to ask the steward if I didn't understand."

Wan Chengzheng nodded, which was also what he had guessed earlier.

Princess Duan has stayed in the palace for more than ten years. Prince Duan has always been unwilling to take care of the affairs of the backyard. Wan Chengzheng, who was not injured at the time, did not want to spend his mind on trivial matters in the palace. If she can't hold the affairs of the mansion in her hands, then she doesn't have the ability to do anything to Wan Chengzheng.

Now there are three butlers in the palace, the first butler is the confidant of Duan Wang, and the other two are the second concubine's people.

However, because of King Duan's preference for Wan Chengdai, the chief steward's position is also very delicate.Although he will not oppose Wan Chengzheng openly, he is more willing to open the back door for the princess and Wan Chengdai.

In addition, there are four nuns in charge of the inner courtyard.After all, there are many maids in the mansion, so we can't let a big man take care of them.

These four stewards are in charge of the servants, chores, warehouse and meals in the backyard respectively.

Similarly, they are also the confidantes of Princess Duan.

Rong Le knew it was a pit, but after Wan Chengzheng gave him a serious analysis, he discovered that the pit was so big!

Rong Le said distressedly: "This is full of Princess Duan's people, how could they listen to me?"

Wan Chengzheng said: "If you encounter that kind of disobedient servant, it is the best to deal with." Except for the family's son, the servants in the palace bought it from Ren Yazi, and all the deeds are in the hands of the master of the palace.Even if a servant like this was beaten to death in the mansion, no one would take care of him.

If there is really that kind of servant who contradicts the master and refuses to obey the discipline, needless to say, just push the person down and hit the board.

He said: "What I'm afraid of is meeting servants who are obedient and obedient."

On the surface, if you promise well, you will turn around and get a half discount for doing things, or even not doing things, and you will find all kinds of reasons to shirk when you find out.

After all, Rong Le is new to the mansion, if he really meets these old fritters who have been in the mansion for more than ten years, I am afraid that he will not be an opponent. Even if he has the status of the imperial concubine, he may not be able to hold them down .

When things are not done well, there will be complaints in the mansion. Everyone will not blame the difficult little devil in the middle, but will shift the responsibility to Rong Le, the person in charge.

Take a look at the housework that Princess Duan entrusted to Rongle, the monthly silver payment at the end of the month, the purchase of ingredients in the inner courtyard, and the cleaning and replacement of flowers, plants, rockeries, ponds, etc.

It seems that there are not many things, but each one is troublesome.

First of all, these three things are all related to Qian Zhan, especially the first thing, if someone really enriches their own pockets, Rong Le will be the first person responsible for it.

Listening to these analyzes, Rong Le felt that his head was going to grow bigger.

He is not an accountant, second is not finance, and third is not logistics, he is just an ordinary clerical staff, why should he take care of these things?

Seeing his eyes dizzy into mosquito coils, Wan Chengzheng finally couldn't bear to tease him again, "If you don't like it, leave it alone, leave the matter to Kong Zhao."

All of a sudden, Rong Le's head didn't hurt, his eyes didn't feel dizzy anymore, and his whole body felt strong. He sat up straight when he was paralyzed on the chair, "Is this okay?"

Wan Chengzheng said: "Why not? Do you manage the stores and farms under your command personally?"

Rong Le was a little embarrassed, "But Kong Zhao is your man."

Kong Zhao is not very old, but his ability is obvious to all. Although it is because Wan Chengzheng's own people are in the small courtyard, it is easier to manage it, but it is worthy of recognition that she can manage it in an orderly manner.

The small courtyard at the beginning was not so clean.

At that time, after Wan Chengzheng learned the truth about the horse falling incident, he was discouraged by King Duan, so he offered to move out of the Rongyueyuan where the eldest son lived.

Duan Wang and the second concubine did not agree at the time, but because Wan Chengzheng persisted, he finally complied.

Now Rongyue Courtyard is still empty, even though King Duan has loved Wan Chengdai all these years, he has not let him live in that courtyard.

When Wan Chengzheng mentioned the courtyard where he lived since he was a child, he just said to Rongle, "This courtyard fits your name."

Before Wan Chengzheng moved here, the small courtyard was usually not noticed because it was in the corner of the palace. The trees were bleak and the walls were mottled. There were only a few dead lotuses on the pond in the courtyard, and even the water was lifeless. look like.

Later, it took a long time to tidy up before it could be considered habitable.

At that time, because there were few people around Wan Chengzheng, Princess Duan sent many people to help him in order to show her concern for him.

Some of these people are just ordinary children, while others are nails inserted by the princess.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the falling horse incident, he pulled out all these nails in a short time.

People who did not belong to the small courtyard were also slowly eliminated, and it took several years to make the small courtyard what it is today.

Among them, Kong Zhao contributed a lot.

That's why Wan Chengzheng proposed to ask Kong Zhao to help. Kong Zhao is the son of a family, and her parents are working in Wangfuzhuang. Know how to deal with it better.

Wan Chengzheng said: "I have no shortage of people in my hands. Besides, you don't want to learn how to ride a horse?"

Rong Le's eyes lit up immediately. Wan Chengzheng had mentioned it to him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Later, he was busy with the bookstore and didn't have time to spare. "Think about it!" Chengzheng introduced the matter of horse riding from the chores of the palace, "Shall we start learning now?"

Wan Chengzheng said, "There will be spring hunting at the end of the month. Before that, you must learn to ride a horse." He mused, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's set off for Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow."

Rong Le was taken aback, it was too fast, and Princess Duan just told him today that she wanted him to help, so he would throw the matter away tomorrow and go to Zhuangzi?

Seeing his hesitation, Wan Chengzheng didn't force him, but said meaningfully: "If you don't leave tomorrow, you won't be able to leave."

Rong Le was still undecided at first, but after hearing what Wan Chengzheng said, his back turned cold, and he made a decision to set the next schedule, "Okay, then we will stay in Zhuangzi until Spring Hunting and come back."
