Chapter 932 (1/2)
When Nangong Yue returned to the palace, it was already past.
Nangong Yue got out of the carriage in front of the second gate. Looking around the huge palace, he suddenly felt empty. The feeling seemed to spread to her heart.
She stood in the same place for a long time, until Baihui whispered in her ear: ”princess, uncle Zhou and uncle Zhu are here to see you!”
Uncle Zhou and uncle Zhu? Nangong Yue followed Baihui's line of sight, and saw a black faced man and a whisker were bowing and waiting not far away. They were Zhou Dacheng and Zhu Xing, whom she had met before in her own imperial manor.
It turns out that Xiao Yi didn't take both of them with him this time.
Nangong Yue walked over to them. They both bowed and bowed to her in unison: ”I've seen the princess.”
Nangong Yue raised his hand and said, ”excuse me, let's go to the study outside to talk.” Xiao Yi left, and his study was handed over to Nangong Yue.
Several people to the outside study, Nangong Yue sat down after the desk, ”you also sit, don't be too restrained.” Since Xiao Yi asked them to come to see him, they must have something to say.
”Thank you, princess.” Zhou Dacheng and Zhu Xing sit down on the two pear wood armchairs. After that, Zhu Xing is the first to say, ”princess, the son of a generation has left his subordinates in the hope that his subordinates will temporarily act as housekeepers in the palace. In addition, the affairs department of the outer courtyard is also under the charge of the subordinates for the time being.”
Housekeeper? Nangong Yue was stunned and asked a man who came down from the battlefield to be a housekeeper. Isn't that overkill?
Zhu Xing continued to explain: ”the original housekeeper of Zhennan palace was the successor to the princess. After the princess left, he was driven away by the prince.”. Before that, Cheng Yu had been the temporary housekeeper. This time, Cheng Yu went back to southern Xinjiang with his son of kin, so he handed it to his subordinates. ”
Nangong Yue can't help but think of Xiao Yi's remarks that ”looking for someone's teeth” last night. He is really sweating. Ah, in terms of housekeeper, he is really fooling around. Cheng Yu and other people can see that they are military advisers or aides. They are also used as housekeepers. They are really killing chickens with ox knives. But this time, Cheng Yu went back to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Yi, and he was able to show his strong points. He didn't have to worry about the daily chores any more.
Then, Nangong Yue's eyes turned to Zhou Dacheng again. Without her asking, Zhou Dacheng took the initiative to say, ”princess, your subordinates are in charge of the guards in the mansion for the time being, and are responsible for guarding the palace.” He really didn't know how to deal with Nangong Yue, such a delicate little girl. He could only find words stiffly and said, ”don't worry about the imperial concubine. If you have your subordinates, you will not be disturbed by any curfews!”
It is obvious that Xiao Yi has found something for Zhou dachengqiang to do. The palace is empty. Only nangongyue is the master, and there is no servant. I'm afraid that even Zhu Xing, the housekeeper, has a lot of leisure.
Nangong Yue said helplessly, ”then I will trouble you.”
”No trouble, no trouble, this is my duty!” However, this week Dacheng is a straight hearted man who can't understand the meaning of the words. Zhu Xing on one side is embarrassed and has a cold sweat on his forehead. He really wants to think that he doesn't know this brother.
Nangong Yue was amused, and his mouth was hooked.
After pondering for a moment, she said to Zhu Xing, ”Zhu Xing, you will send me all the accounts in this mansion tomorrow. I'll have a look.”
This is what ordinary servants fear most is that the master checks the accounts, but Zhu Xing's eyes are shining, and some can't wait to answer. He knew that Nangong Yue was going to start to preside over Zhongfeng. As soon as the imperial concubine made a move, he would be relaxed in the future.
He was so relieved that not only nangongyue could see it, but also Baihui and Lily beside him. The two girls exchanged a look.
Lily heart secret way: this son of the world under the people are really some unreliable!
After a while, Nangong Yue took Baihui lilies back to Fufeng courtyard.
She plans to wait until she has looked at the register and the accounts of the house left by Xiao Yi. Now, the top priority is to sort out her dowry and file it into the warehouse. What's more, although the layout of the new house is festive, it is obvious that the people of the house of interior are just trying their best to create a festive atmosphere, which is somewhat awkward. She intends to do a good job of it.
Therefore, the whole Fufeng courtyard was busy under the guidance of nangongyue.
She opened three new storehouses, put all the dowry books in the warehouse, and changed the furnishings of the house from screens to vases to curtains to cushions, etc. because she was still newly married, she was still mainly in festive red, but added a bit of low-key and elegant scholar.
It took two days to finish these, and Nangong Yue picked up the little study in the West.
This small study is more than twice as large as the one in the Mo Zhu Yuan, and Xiao Yi specially created the medicine Pavilion for her.
There are a row of windows facing south in the study. It seems that the light is very bright. There are all kinds of bookcases, picture tables, piano tables, tables, beauty couch, tables and chairs. There are also rows of bookshelves against the wall. Although they are empty now, nangongyue seems to have smelled the strong and familiar smell of books.
Several small servant girls cleaned the study again. Baihui directed several women from the palace to move in boxes of camphor wood boxes. The big boxes were really heavy, and soon those women were sweating. A woman asked curiously in a low voice: ”Baihui girl, this box is so heavy, is it not all books?” But I thought, so many boxes, how many books should there be? I'm afraid there are not so many books in Wang Ye's study!Baihui faintly looked at that woman son one eye, way: ”do matter to go out, ask so much why?”
The old lady went out with several other women and could hear the voices of their conversation: ”I heard that Princess Shizi is a scholarly family. It's really different from others! I've married so many books. ”
”Yes, with so many books, can you finish reading them?”
“……”
What a mess!
Baihui shakes her head and allows those voices to go away. Then she orders the maids to open the box and take out several boxes of medical books, medicine books, Lin Jingchen's medical notes, nangongyue's own experience notes and so on. Nangongyue personally sorted them into the largest bookshelf, and then asked the maids to help organize a bookshelf of ”University”, ”Analects of Confucius”, ”spring and Autumn Annals”, ”historical records”, etc., as well as a shelf of fantasy novels and unofficial essays.
According to Nangong Yue's preference, there are Duan inkstone of Zhaoqing, Songyan inking of Gaoli Suigong, Hetian Baiyu's brush wash, and Zihao pens of different sizes. It's very pleasant to put them just like this.
After the whole small study was cleaned up and stirred up, Nangong Yue put the accompanying herbs in the medicine Pavilion one by one, which was a success.
Nangong Yue looked around with satisfaction. Although he was a little tired after a long day's work, he still wanted to see where he was comfortable. Even if he wanted to work, he had to create a comfortable environment for himself.
Nangong Yue, like the boudoir in the dark bamboo courtyard in the past, leaned lazily on the beauty bed beside the window of the small study, and casually ordered the maids to bring the account books that Zhu Xing had sent yesterday.
Not long, a few servant girls will carry the account books, these books piled on the book case, there is a big pile.
When Nangong Yue was looking at some headache, Lily blessed his body and said, ”princess, just now uncle Zhu sent the news to the palace.”
Nangong Yue picked his eyebrows. Although Xiao Yi put someone in the palace, the news was directly transmitted to the outer courtyard, unless it was related to her.
She took a look at the lily and saw that the lily said with some difficulty: ”it's hard to say It is said that the second princess left the palace secretly two days ago. It seems that she has gone after the prince. ”
Nangong Yue slightly droops the eyes, the face dew is not quick.
The second princess's admiration for Xiao Yi is obvious. ”If you know how lecherous you are, you will admire Shaoai”. It can't be said that it is totally wrong to miss others.
However, after Xiao Yi and himself have made a marriage, and even now they have become one, the second princess still pesters the married husband like this. It's just shameless! Do you really think you are made of clay?
Xiao Yi is her husband. How can she be coveted by others!
Nangong Yue's face did not see a trace of emotional fluctuations, ”does the queen know?”
”The queen doesn't know.” Lily replied, ”Princess Zhang declared that the second princess was ill and needed to recuperate. She suppressed the news. The third prince is quietly sending people to look for the second princess. ”
Nangong Yue lip horn tiny hook, sneer said: ”tell Zhou Dacheng, let people think of a way to disclose this news to the queen.”
Lily should a, quickly go out to preach.
Nangong Yue's face slightly heavy waved, let Baihui and magpie'er go to see the account books first.
She took a sip of tea, opened the white seal register of the palace given by Xiao Yi and flipped it up at will.
There are only 58 servants and guards in the huge Zhennan palace, which is almost inconceivable for Nangong Yue, who was born in a famous family.
There are notes on the register about the origin of these people. After reading it, Nangong Yue found that most of them were bought by Xiaofang, Princess of Zhennan, who had been in the palace for a few years. Some of them were servants and bodyguards given by the Emperor today. A small number of them were left to watch and clean their homes in the palace of the late emperor. There were also a small number of Zhennan king and the hands brought by Xiao Fang from southern Xinjiang, But the number was much smaller than she expected.
It's also true that Zhennan Wang and Xiao Fang's people are not rare to stay in Wangdu. If they are allowed to stay in Wangdu, it will be no different from being exiled. Maybe they will never make a living in their lives.
At this time, magpie son suddenly low shout: ”this is also too ridiculous.” She took the account book on her hand and showed it to Nangong Yue, ”three girls, the clothes that people in the inner courtyard wear are actually bought from the clothing shop outside...” The corners of her mouth twitched for a moment, which is not like a king's mansion. I'm afraid that even some wealthy merchants will despise her!
Nangong Yue glanced at random, from the number of clothes on the account, it was really so.
In other words, in the past two days, she had to open the storehouse to take materials and make autumn clothes and winter clothes for the servants in the inner courtyard. She also had to add the maid she had married with and the several people in the room.
However, it's too late. Let's talk about tomorrow.
