The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 5

Xu Chang'an's father stayed in Beijing after high school 20 years ago. He was an official in Taichang Temple more than ten years ago, and there was no movement. Now the whole family still lives in the house that Xu Chang'an's mother bought when she first got married. in.

Knowing that today is the day of returning to the door, even if the members of the Xu family didn't want to, they were already waiting at the door early in the morning.Looking forward and looking forward, but still did not expect people to come and did not dare to leave. It was so easy to see the carriage of the palace coming, but everyone's faces did not know whether they were happy or unhappy.

"My minister, Xu Yongnian, and his family are visiting His Royal Highness and Princess Xian." The members of the Xu family did not hesitate to bow down, but they were not so willing.They are ministers, and the virtuous king is the king. It is only natural to pay homage to the virtuous king, but today the virtuous king brought the Xu family's son back home. It is said that even if they were present, they would just show off, and the virtuous king should avoid it. How can you really make them kneel down.

"Master Xu, please get up." Not only did the virtuous king Xiao Qingyan not excuse everyone's courtesy, but he cast a glance at the kneeling crowd as if interested, and then let them stand up.

In fact, it's not surprising that Xiao Qingyan was curious. In this small fourth-rank official's family, there are dozens of family members alone. This Xu Yongnian is a foreigner. I'm afraid I can't afford to support this big family.

The Xian Wang finally got up, even though Xu Yongnian was dissatisfied, he could only put on a smile on his face. He took advantage of Xiao Qingyan and walked forward, glaring at his son who had been silent all this time. Go straight back: "Father, be cautious in your words and deeds. You told your child this, why did you forget it yourself?"

Xu Yongnian was stunned first, then startled and frightened, and hurriedly glanced at Xiao Qingyan with a guilty conscience. After finding that Xiao Qingyan didn't respond, he became angry, thinking that one day he must find an excuse to let this little bastard come back. Teach him a lesson.

This trip was not what Xiao Qingyan wanted, it was just a cutscene that had to be done in order to stop someone who cared about him. As soon as he entered Xu's mansion, Xiao Qingyan wanted to leave after giving him the things he brought, but after about a cup of tea, the two of them Just excused something and left.

Xiao Qingyan never regarded Xu Yongnian as his father-in-law from the moment he entered the door, so Xu Yongnian naturally didn't dare to put on airs, and if they wanted to leave, the whole family of the Xu family naturally followed them to see them off.When the carriage of the palace was finally out of sight, Xu Yongnian suddenly lost his appearance of a scholar, he gave a loud pooh and spit out a mouthful of spittle before spitting out a mouthful of obscenities.

"I thought you were alienated from outsiders, so it's just your nature." Xiao Qingyan could see Xu Changan's attitude towards Xu's family today. It turned out that Xu Changan was born with a cold temper. The family members also act as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

"My mother... didn't die of illness." I don't know why I was able to say it to him, and the words I said were as calm as peace, as if I was talking about what side dishes he usually likes, but Xiao Qingyan beside him suddenly Sitting up straight, she cast a probing look at him.

"I made the lord laugh." I realized that I regretted it after I said it, but I couldn't show it on my face, so I could only pretend to be rude and smiled apologetically.

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Qingyan said nothing, and the two of them never spoke again. Only when Xu Chang'an in the palace was about to return to his own yard did Xiao Qingyan stop him.

"Let's go to the lobby."

"Yes, my lord." Going to the front hall with Xiao Qingyan, it must be for me, the princess, to see everyone in the palace.Xu Chang'an knew that this princess would definitely come to an end one day, and the time would not be too long, so he didn't care about the woman's obsessive housekeeping power.But now that Xiao Qingyan is interested, he accepts it, so that he can live comfortably, so why bother to find Qishou?With Xiao Qingyan's acknowledgment, at least in the future in this palace, no one except Xiao Qingyan can be angry with him.

"The slave (servant) has seen the princess."

"Get up." Sure enough, he met the servants of the palace and asked them to recognize him as another master.Xu Changan was naturally happy to see Xiao Qingyan's arrangement, but he couldn't figure out why Xiao Qingyan would do this, didn't Xiao Qingyan dislike him?

Could it be that what he did was the same as walking back to the door with him yesterday, just to block the mouths of everyone outside?

The so-called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, although Xiao Qingyan is not qualified to inherit the great line, but he is the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty and the eldest son of the royal family. With him around for a day, he will always be a threat to others.

"I still have something to do, you can figure it out here."

"Yes, my lord." After seeing off Xiao Qingyan, Xu Chang'an felt much more at ease.Before Xu Changan could speak, the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "My lord, the old slave of the palace account book will be delivered to the wangfei's yard later. The lord has always kept the deed of sale of the servants of the palace, but the key to the treasury in the palace is in the possession of the prince." The old slave here, after a while the old slave took the princess to the warehouse to check things.

What's more, the lord doesn't have a concubine with a reputation, but there are two concubines sent by the palace when the lord became an adult. Do you want to meet the wangfei? "It's just that if the housekeeper has no status, she is not qualified to serve tea to the princess and be recognized by the princess, but Xiao Qingyan only has these two housemates now, so the housekeeper naturally wants to talk about it.

"Call me over here." Xu Changan wanted to see Xiao Qingyan's woman even if she had no status.Xiao Qingyan has followed since she became an adult, and it has been several years. Xiao Qingyan has not sent them away for so many years, so he must also like them. He just happened to see what kind of woman Xiao Qingyan likes, and whether he wants to find two concubines for Xiao Qingyan to come back. It is the duty of a regular wife to help her husband find a woman.

"By the way, His Royal Highness was crowned king yesterday. This is a great event, and the whole house will reward you. Steward, for a while, all the maids, women, and stewards who are capable in the house will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the rest will be rewarded with five taels of silver. Come back, you let everyone go to receive the reward, and then bring the prince’s room to see me." This happened suddenly, and Madam Yang didn't give any instructions beforehand, Xu Changan didn't know if he was doing right or not, but I probably remember that when Liu's son was born, his father rewarded him like this once, but the amount was far from what he said just now.The Xu Mansion is no match for the Wang Mansion, so the reward I just received should be fine.

Xu Changan thought that if there were too many, at worst he would post the cloth himself. He was afraid that he would offend the whole family if he lost it at the beginning. Although he is a princess, his basic necessities are entrusted to the people in the house. They like him It's better than blaming yourself.

Everyone in the mansion is indeed happy. Generally, the servants of the palace are domestic servants, and there are many of them. Every time the reward is the five taels of silver for those who are in charge, the people below are just two taels of silver. Now the status of the palace is The lowest servant can get five taels of silver, so everyone is naturally happy.

They put aside the status of the new princess as a man, they only said that the princess is kind and generous, she is a good master, and she will serve her wholeheartedly in the future.

Xiao Qingyan's two housemaids, Ziyue and Ziyan, were mostly from the palace, and their names were also chosen by the master of the palace.

"The servant has seen the princess."

"Get up." The two kowtowed to Xu Changan together. Xu Changan was not good at dealing with women, and he didn't plan to keep them. He just wanted to reward them with something else.

"It's not so convenient for me to serve the lord as a man. You should worry more about the lord on weekdays." As for women, what they like is nothing more than gold and silver jewelry and beautiful clothes. Xu Changan rewarded the two of them a lot, and finally told them what they wanted thing.

Although the two were amazed at the frankness of the princess, they were able to frankly admit that their status was not good to serve, but this was not what they cared about, so they happily took the reward and went back.

Xu Changan's series of actions would naturally be reported to Xiao Qingyan by someone. After hearing the end, the housekeeper didn't know whether his master was satisfied or dissatisfied with the princess. The master showed no expression or expressed his opinion. It seems that he should not be dissatisfied. Then I have to be more careful with the princess in the future.
