Chapter 44 (1/2)
Mu Xiyao got up early this day and sent Zong Zhenglin out of the house and pruned the ginkgo potted plants that had been picked up some time ago in the yard. Ruo Lan is passing the scissors, but see mother Zhao with the book peach.
”Maid, please give my regards to the side concubine.” Mu Xiyao called, and then heard from mother Zhao that Tang's concubines were asking for a meeting outside the mansion. They wanted to visit their sister-in-law, and they came by to see the concubine.
Mu Xiyao has no impression of Tang Yiru's sister in her mind. She should be an irrelevant person. No interest, no embarrassment to her, let me in.
”If you see the ceremony, you will be exempted. You can directly let people take it to see the concubine.”
Later, I heard Ruo Lan come back to say that he met a young woman out of the backyard and his highness was going to the study from danruoyuan. The two presented their Royal Highness with a gift. After leaving, it seemed that there was an argument. At last, the woman went out of the house with her face full of anger, and she went back to Shu Huiyuan to report the news.
Mu Xiyao frowned slightly. Tang Yiru's concubine came to visit her, but she didn't come to flatter her. On the contrary, she broke up unhappily? Although the Tang family in Shengjing is better than his own family, it is far from enough to ignore the prince's mansion. Di elder sister is a concubine in the mansion, but she is also a decent wife of the prince. It's strange.
This abnormality of Tang Yiru and her concubine may be worth exploring. Unfortunately, if there are not enough people today, and there is no one who can avoid Zong Zhenglin's eyes and ears, they can only passively watch the change. It was only when he left the palace to open the palace that he could put his hands in. Although Mu Xiyao was not very clear about Zong Zhenglin's eyes and ears, he also knew something about it.
February 14, 28, the lunar calendar, two days later is the new year's Eve palace dinner. The official in charge of the government sent the gift list to danruo garden to let Mu Xiyao see if there was any increase or decrease. Mu Xiyao had a rough look at it. After thinking about it carefully, she sketched a few places with ink and brush, and added the gift of jiayifang, which had been prepared for a long time, and told Tian Fushan to deliver it on time within two days.
Tian Fushan originally thought that the side concubine was the first time to preside over the affairs of the government. She was young and had little experience. But I don't want to make those changes, but it seems reasonable and comprehensive. I'm afraid I have thought about it for a long time, and my ability to manage my family is very good. In this case, why is the boss not willing to manage family affairs? Other side room even in the imperial concubine under the position of the helper are fighting endlessly, his side imperial concubine but refused very much. Tian Fushan doesn't understand.
Now, of course, Mu Xiyao is not willing to interfere too much in the affairs of the government.
First of all, when Zong Zhenglin's wedding came out of the palace, all the attendants could not take away except the most useful steward. They would send them back to the house of internal affairs.
Second, when the imperial concubine enters the mansion, if he is too outspoken and stands in front of him, isn't this looking for a smoke? Ben had a child in front of the main room, and if she even covered up the common affairs, what's the difference between this and her immediate superior's shouting: ”there's nothing wrong with you here, go on your own.”?
Besides, she Mu Xiyao never does anything to block the knife for women in the backyard. She's just a concubine. She doesn't have enough consciousness!
Waiting for that woman to enter the house, there is no need to snatch up the hard work. Wouldn't it be nice to hold boss's thigh? It's better to muddle along like this now.
In the next two days, gifts from other places were sent to his highness. Because Zong Zhenglin had a concubine, there was more communication between the women in the backyard. Tian Fushan borrowed Chunlan Ruolan to register in the past. Mu Xiyao sent mother GUI to help her. For a while, the house was in good order.
Zong Zhenglin is helpless when he looks at the report from the dark guard. That woman can do well, but she always refuses. According to her wisdom, she should be too lazy to wade in the muddy water. It's also good to avoid attracting the eyes of the future Prince's concubine and embarrass her.
On the 29th of the year, Zong Zhenglin held a banquet in front of the prince's house to entertain a group of aides and family officials. Mu Xiyao had a big belly and took the women in the backyard to eat tea, talk, watch plays and listen to music. The middle Porter reported that the concubine's sister had come to pay a new year's visit.
Tang Yiru's face was pure and innocent, and she felt shameless. I just hate that shameful slut. The following concubines are also inexplicable. This concubine's younger sister chose to visit today? Shouldn't they all visit on the first few days of the first month? It's a joke.
Mu Xiyao is not easy to say clearly that he will not let people go, which is not the prince's house has no gas. Turning to ask Tang Yiru meaning, she is very reluctantly called the book eyebrow to meet people. After listening to the song for a while, they saw a young woman, about 15 or 16 years old, who was very charming. She was more beautiful than Tang's, and came in a lotus step.
”Hui Ru of Tang family, a daughter of the people's Republic of China, greets his concubine and sisters.” Then the enchanting and enchanting worship.
