The Concubine of the Red Chamber

After getting married, Jun Zexuan has basically never had a severe headache, and he has the time to start thinking about some things. He is not stupid, and there are some things that he doesn't want to think about, and he understands when he thinks about them.Over the years, he also knew that he had offended almost all of Kilometer's brothers and sisters, but it was precisely because of this that his father protected him even more.Because the emperor was protecting him, even if he didn't really mean it, he and his brother would not be bullied too much in the palace.

"I can't hold a housewarming party, I've wronged you." After Jun Zexuan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. According to his own thoughts, he didn't want too many people to pollute his place, and he didn't want to lose that idea because of it. His favor made it difficult for my brother, but I didn't think of Lan'er, maybe she liked it.

Jia Lan hurriedly shook her head when she heard the words, it really didn't matter to her whether or not to hold a housewarming party, anyway, according to Jun Zexuan's name, few people who came to socialize were sincere, and now she is a concubine who is now a prince and concubine, People outside may not know how to arrange Jun Zexuan!So she really didn't feel aggrieved at all, on the contrary she felt quite good, so she said: "It's fine if I don't do it, and save them from laughing at my husband because of my background."

"Who dares to make a joke? Don't worry, I can't give you power, but I will never let anyone humiliate you. No one can do it!" Jun Zexuan became a little unhappy when he heard the words. Jia Lan, the prince and concubine, was his favorite Yes, he certainly didn't want her to be wronged a little bit.

It’s been nearly 11 years since she was reborn, and it’s the first time someone said that no one can humiliate you. Although it’s from her husband who hasn’t grown up yet, Jia Lan is still very happy in her heart. For so many years, she has worked hard every step of the way. She could hardly remember the self who flaunted herself in the past, no matter what happened in the future, but at this moment, she believed in Jun Zexuan's sincerity, and also realized his protection of herself.

"I'll leave everything in the house to you." Jun Zexuan looked at the smile on Jia Lan's face, and said with a smile, "Our family is small, you can come here however you like. Do it according to your thoughts... "Jun Zexuan remembered what his brother said, how can people who can get along with that kind of accounting method not succeed at all.

Jia Lan is quite interested in being the master of her own family. Although she also knows that there are many eyeliners in the mansion, she is the master after all, and she can do many things she wanted to do before without looking at anyone's face.

"Ma'am, there are 220 or six servants in our prince's mansion. The eighth prince doesn't like people to serve him personally, and there are only five servants around him. There are also 27 eunuchs and eunuchs who are out of the palace, not counting the people in our Zhuangzi's shop." , there are fifteen of them in the mansion, twenty palace maids and guards will be dispatched after the small election, thirty of them will be sent, and the rest will be sent from the Huangzhuang to serve." There is no housewarming banquet, but the housekeepers The matter still has to be in her own hands. Jia Lan was not in a hurry to seize power as soon as she moved out, but asked Huier Shaoyao and others to help her find out the details of the people in the house.

Jia Lan asked everyone in the mansion to tell where they came from, what they used to do, and where their family members were, but where are their other relatives?All of them were recorded and marked. More than 200 people are not a small number. Fortunately, most of the people sent by Huangzhuang are a family.It took a lot of time just to record and verify this. Jia Lan read the brochures one by one... picked out those with obvious problems, and sent his whole family to work in the Huangzhuang that the emperor allocated to Jun Zexuan. Those that are not obvious and whose identity is uncertain will not be reused.

Although there are only two serious masters in the mansion, the more than 200 servants really let Jia Lan experience the feeling of a privileged class for a while. All the nuns called over and said: "I am young, so I will rely on several people for the affairs of the prince's residence in the future."

"However, although I am not very good at housekeeping, I still know what I should know. I have seen things about my grandmother and mother's housekeepers in these years, so I will add some of my own opinions here, please have a look. Is there anything else that needs to be added?" Jia Lan saw that Steward Chen was respectful to her, but among the four nuns, two of them looked carelessly respectful, but they pretended not to see it, and asked Huier to show them the rules she had made in her hand. .

Jia Lan only had a general idea of ​​the situation in the mansion, and she didn't interfere too much, but the rules were stricter, no matter how high or low the servants were, they were not allowed to walk around the mansion casually, and they must never leave the mansion without a sign to leave the mansion. Mansion, no matter what you do, you must have at least three people together, and you cannot walk alone in the mansion.Accounting room, warehouse, embroidery room, kitchen...not only all accounting methods have to be written according to their own notation, but even the division of responsibilities when something goes wrong is clearly written.

The butler read the rules written by Jia Lan, and was a little dazed. When the fifth prince arranged for him to come, he said that he would help the eighth prince and concubine to do things well, and prevent the slaves in the mansion from bullying the master, but he didn't expect the eighth prince to be so respectable. But the kitchen has written a lot of requirements and rewards. It will be difficult for the kitchen stewards to be greedy for something in the future. There are a lot of rewards, if these rewards add up to be not less than those who are greedy, it is not too harsh, but even more preferential treatment than before, not only the kitchen, but also the accounting and warehouses.There is also a clear arrangement for the guards to patrol the mansion... Although there are some inappropriate things, but the Eighth Prince's concubine can think of so many things, which is enough to prove her extraordinary scheming.

Ignoring the astonishment on Chen Butler's face and the unsightly faces of several nuns, Jia Lan said softly: "Neither the palace nor the eighth prince are troublemakers, nor are they unreasonable masters, but we are young. There are quite a few people in the mansion. I know that my rules are a bit strict, but for the face of my father, there must be no accidents in the mansion. If there is any dissatisfaction, I will sell it directly. I want to be a prince Concubine, it shouldn't be a big deal to sell a few disobedient servants. The same is true for everyone, if you do well, I will not treat you badly, but if I don't order you, I don't want to wrong myself. No, if His Highness the Prince takes over the Royal Father, he will be able to deal with you if you think about it."

When Jia Lan said this, she was dissatisfied in her heart, and no one dared to speak out. Li Shi, the foster mother given to Jia Lan by the queen, wanted to open her mouth, but was pinched and held down by the people around her.No matter how unruly the eighth prince is, he is still a dragon son. How can these villains be able to handle it?

"Your Majesty has shown a lot of prestige today. I think they know that your Majesty's methods are ineffective, so they will not dare to do too much in the future." After sending the housekeeper and others away, Hui'er rubbed Jia Lan's hands and said with a smile.

Jia Lan chuckled lightly and said: "What is not majestic? I don't know where they are all bulls, dogs, and snakes. Now I have to watch slowly. You ask Xiaoyi and the others to investigate again. The mansion is not afraid of spies. Eyeliner, but you have to figure out where it all comes from? It’s born to be calculated, and I don’t know who is calculating us.”

Hui'er nodded, and then said: "What the empress said is true."

"Sister Hui'er, have you ever blamed me?" Jia Lan asked with a sigh as she saw Hui'er doing everything she wanted.

Hui'er blinked in surprise, then looked at Jia Lan puzzled and said, "What did you do to apologize to me? The slaves don't know what's wrong, so why not complain?"

"Earlier, I begged my grandmother to arrange a marriage for you, but now I want you to follow me because I got married, and I asked you to withdraw the marriage. Even if my sister doesn't blame me, I feel a little bit sorry for it, and I always want to ask my sister what she thinks ?" Although she didn't regret the engagement and withdrawal, she always felt that it was too much to decide on her own without asking Huier.

When Hui'er heard this, she burst out laughing.He held Jia Lan in his arms, resumed his previous tone, and said with a smile: "I thought something was wrong, so it was this matter? Before the old lady passed away, you thought of me and made a marriage for me. Now the Duke Be the one who decides to retire, and besides, that person is not a good person. His elder brother is a servant of Ningguo Mansion, and he doesn't even look at me. I haven't married him yet, and I have a housemate by my side, and he has a relationship with the girl in the mansion. I don't know, even if I don't withdraw my marriage, I won't marry this person. If I withdraw my marriage, I will be too happy!"

"There are other things like this? Why didn't you tell me?" Jia Lan asked in surprise.

"If it's really time to get married, I will definitely not hide it from you, but isn't it time to get married? Besides, when I knew it, you had already entered the palace, and we have been in the palace since then. Here, there is no more suitable person around you, so I thought that I would not get married soon, or why would I be sent to the palace! Then the emperor gave you a marriage." Hui'er grinned and explained road.She has learned a lot of rules this year, and she also knows that she can be no big or small, and it is all at the mercy of the young lady. In the past, Mama Chen trained her, but now that Mama Chen is outside, she represents the face of the young lady, even if she is now She became a princess, but in her heart she was still the young lady whom she had grown up with since she was a child, and she was willing to stay with her for the rest of her life.I also know that she cares about herself, so I will not hide things from her that have passed.

"Sister Hui'er! I will definitely find you a good family." Jia Lan didn't know what to say. Sister Hui'er's protection of her like a master and a sister has not changed over the years, which makes her feel at ease and at the same time I made up my mind to find a good home for her.

Hui'er reached out and tapped her forehead lightly, and said indifferently: "How old are you? Why do you always think about being a matchmaker? Don't worry, now that you have become a concubine and a concubine, in such a big mansion, I will always find someone who is pleasing to the eye, and if you don't tell me, my lady, I will say it."

"Sister, you're not ashamed! Where does a girl say this?" Jia Lan's eyes widened, looking at Hui'er without any shyness, she said in surprise.She didn't know that her elder sister Hui'er was so bold now?

Hui'er didn't care and said: "When I went to see Mother Chen two days ago, she told me that it's useless to be ashamed of this matter. Now I have too many choices, so I must choose a good one. It's okay, you don't worry about it, do you?"
