"The young master just let them play, and I'm not afraid of the little girls complaining about your partiality."

Seeing the two boys salute and go happily, Bai Su, who also came to pick them up, covered his mouth with a handkerchief with a smile, and glanced jokingly at the two little girls carrying lanterns behind him.

Although she is already a 15-year-old girl, Bai Su's charming and cheerful spirit has not changed, and because of the love she grew up with An Sheng, she occasionally dared to joke with him, but never No loss of proportion.

"The slaves dare not."

The two 11-year-old girls turned pale when they heard Bai Su's words. Although they had only been assigned to the second young master's yard for a month, they had already been taught by Sister Baiji for two years in the mansion. , I know the temper of the two young masters, although they treat their servants generously, they can't tolerate people's disrespect, especially if they have a heart of resentment.

"Get up, I know you love them, and I will take a shower later, you don't need to keep anyone in the room, you can take the four of them to play in your room, go to the kitchen to get what you want to eat, just say I am ready of."

An Sheng didn't want to be biased at first, so after hearing Bai Su's joke now, he took advantage of the opportunity to let them go on vacation for a while.

Because the bletilla striata had already been promised to Chuanbei, and Anxu had a lot of dealings with him, so An Sheng left the bletilla striata directly in Anxu's yard when the yard was divided a year ago. Over there, after all, he wasn't at home a few years ago, and he didn't know the two girls well.

Now Bai Su is the only old man around An Sheng, and four little maids are added, all of which are named after medicinal materials, including 'pomegranate' and 'dianthus' eleven, 'malt' and 'radix' 'Just nine years old.

"Thank you, Master."

Bai Su brought the pomegranate and carnation to bless her body again, and followed An Sheng back to the yard without saying anything more. Their young master is a person who never likes to make noise.

Ansheng's new courtyard is about the same size as the original one, and its style is almost a replica of the original courtyard. There are three upper rooms and two side rooms, and four wing rooms on the east and west. The middle of the three upper rooms is the main house, and the left and right ones are One part of the study room has been used as a guest room.

The upper two rooms in the left side room are reserved for An Sheng's future concubine, the housekeeper...Although An Sheng thinks that this will never happen, he didn't get angry about this matter, so they let them It was prepared and locked, as for the two behind, Baisu and Shiliu lived in one, and the other three little maids lived in the other.

The four rooms on the right are two storerooms, a small kitchen, and a sundry firewood room. As for those rough envoys, maids, and so on, they naturally don't live in this yard, and at night They went back to their residences and waited in a room next to the yard during the day, just arriving as they were told.

"...Besides, you go to elder brother's yard and tell elder sister Baiji that she will lead a few girls to have fun, but they are not allowed to drink alcohol, so as to prevent elder brother from breaking the rules when he comes back."

An Sheng thought that Bai Jisu was so strict, and now the little girls in the courtyard must be keeping watch, so he gave Bai Su another order.

While talking, An Sheng entered the house, and Bai Su Fu Fushen went to the yard to inform him personally, and Mai Dong and Mai Ya who were in the house earlier came to help An Sheng remove his cloak and hat, and waited until the coldness of his body was relieved Afterwards, he began to take off his coat and change the cotton shoes in the room for him, while Pomegranate and Dianthus, who were carrying the lantern just now, went to order the servant girl to bring water for An Sheng to bathe, and the other went to the back room to pack a change of clothes.

When An Sheng took a bath and lay down in bed comfortably, he couldn't help stretching his waist and stretching his muscles and bones, while lamenting in his heart that he had lived in a rich and gentle country this month. As a human being, he is more comfortable and appropriate than those eunuchs in the palace.

Speaking of eunuchs, An Sheng thought that he would not be entering the palace since this year. He had served Xiao Juzi and Xiao Lizi for eight years, and he didn't know what the arrangement was. The two of them were also taken out of the palace. If they were brought out, it would be a great blessing for the two of them. After all, for eunuchs like them who are not ambitious and clever, being the eunuch in charge of the prince's mansion It's much more free and stable than being in the palace... An Sheng thought about it so much, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

February is the month of the crowning ceremony, and this year, it catches up with the three-yearly examination—that is, Chunwei. The examination begins on the ninth day of February and ends on the morning of the [-]th. For those who want to take the imperial examination, most of the crown ceremonies are scheduled before leaving the examination room at the beginning of the month, and An Xu is one of them.

"Father and Erniang have checked the guest list for the sixth day. Grandpa's is also sent to the palace. This is my brother's. See if there is anything missing?"

An Sheng entered the room with An Xu Guanli's guest list. Seeing that the master was still practicing calligraphy leisurely, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows a little depressed, and patted the list on An Xu's desk.

Since the Lantern Festival was over, An Sheng has been so busy with An Xu's and the crown ceremony for half a month, but his brother is good, he is fine all day long, very leisurely.

"You also know that I'm not good at these..."

For his younger brother who worked so hard to take care of him, An Xu also showed some embarrassment on his face, and picked up the list with a smile to read.

It can be said that An Xu is very good at dealing with people, but when it comes to dealing with facts, he is not as organized as An Sheng. As for what kind of guests to invite, what gifts should be received in return, the crowning ceremony process of the day, how many banquets to arrange, what taboos should the VIPs pay attention to, etc., etc., etc., he couldn't figure it out completely without An Sheng.

"Yes, my brother knows that my elder brother is born with the fate of being born in the world, so you don't need to worry about these mundane trivial matters. Speaking of which, several of your contemporaries won the crown this year, but your Master Jijiu of the Imperial College did it for you. Distinguished guest after the ceremony, my brother has done enough to save face this time."

An Sheng followed An Xu and hummed a few times, and then looked at the young people in his family with a half-smile expression on his face.

He has heard that the present-day Guozijian Jijiu Lord Xiao, that contemporary famous Confucianist and representative of the Qingliu faction, is very optimistic about the beautiful young people of his family, and the most precious daughter of that adult is not engaged yet. oh.

"Master Xiao really treated me very well..."

Facing his younger brother's ridicule, An Xu's face was very natural, as if he didn't hear An Sheng's subtext at all, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the report from the book boy outside, saying that it was the Seventh Prince's Mansion A father-in-law came up and came to invite the second young master very anxiously.

"Go and answer first, just say I'll be there right away."

Hearing that it was someone from Chu Xian's residence, An Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Now that he and his concubine are at a critical juncture, his grandfather has never been out of the palace. At this moment, Chu Xian suddenly ran out of the palace. I don't know what happened. !

"Why is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince leaving the palace at this time... You should go there quickly, I will take care of the family affairs myself."

An Xu frowned slightly when he heard the words, took the list and accounts from An Sheng's hand, and urged him to go over quickly.

"Ok!"

An Sheng was not polite to An Xu, nodded, turned around and left, walked quickly all the way to the waiting room at the front door, and saw Xiaojuzi, whom he was familiar with, waiting there, with a rather anxious expression, and a little trembling beside him. His servants were waiting there - this was the first time they saw the father-in-law coming out of the palace with their own eyes.

"Master... Mr. An."

When Xiao Juzi saw An Sheng, he habitually wanted to salute him, and then he was supported by An Sheng before he realized that they were no longer in the palace, and the original intimate address was inappropriate, so he also Immediately changed over.

"Eunuch Ju, long time no see...but His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is out of the palace?"

An Sheng first greeted Xiao Juzi with a smile, and then pulled his arm close to him and asked softly.

"Yes, His Highness has just left the palace and is heading to the mansion right now. The servants are here to invite the young master directly, and the carriage has already been prepared."

The little bow bowed and kept half a head shorter than An Sheng, and he also answered softly. He didn't show the slightest scorn to the young man An Sheng because of his different status. In his and Xiao Li's hearts, The young master in front of them who they have served for eight years is always their half master.

"No need, Aloe, go and bring Grandpa's horse, Eunuch Ju, let's go."

As An Sheng said, he waved his sleeves and walked out. The boy waiting at the door ran to lead the horse in a hurry when he heard it, and the little Juzi over there didn't feel that An Sheng's attitude was arrogant at all, so he responded. Then he staggered and walked behind him.

"That's from the palace, the father-in-law in charge of the prince's mansion, our second master... really amazing."

The servant of the Anfu who saw this scene with his own eyes sighed with admiration, and the other servants around him also nodded in reconsideration, and then dispersed to find someone to share what they saw. It's busy.

In the past, although I knew that the Second Young Master was accompanied by the Seventh Prince, and every time I went home, I would bring back all kinds of good things rewarded by the palace, but after all, I had never seen the second young master's majesty outside, so I didn't think it was too much. It's amazing, but seeing the people coming out of the palace respect him so much now, the second young master's status in their hearts is immediately equal to that of the eldest young master who is a student and has a great future.

An Sheng didn't know that the two words between himself and Xiao Juzi had established a very majestic image in the hearts of the servants at home. He was riding a horse to Chu Xian's mansion from the right path dedicated to the upper three clans. There were guards from the Seventh Prince's Mansion riding horses to clear the way. When ordinary officials saw them, they gave way to him no matter whether they were civil or military.

Taking advantage of Chu Xian's princely arrogance, An Sheng arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion in less than two quarters...Speaking of which, this mansion was also where Chu Xian used his family's location. Among the several mansions available, the one closest to his home was deliberately chosen.

"Your Highness is here?"

Running to the gate of the mansion to hold the horse, An Sheng flicked the rein and jumped off the horse's back. Seeing that Xiao Lizi who was coming forward was looking very bad, his expression also sank slightly.

"It's here, my lord, please."

The main entrance of the Prince's Mansion will not be opened except to welcome the imperial decree, so Xiao Lizi led An Sheng into the mansion through the side door for entertaining distinguished guests. Sit on it directly and let them quickly carry it inside.

The Seventh Prince's Mansion has a layout of five entrances, but it occupies a large area. An Sheng was carried all the way to the innermost main courtyard. According to the rules, outsiders like him are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, but now the Prince's Mansion No master has officially moved in yet, even if there is, Chu Xian doesn't have any family members at all, so naturally no one pays attention to this rule.

"...Eunuch Guo?"

When Chu Xian arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, Xiao Lizi and the others did not follow him in. Chu Xian looked around and there was not even half a figure. walked over.

"Young master, please go in, His Highness is in the back room."

Xiao Guozi whispered something to An Sheng, then exited the room and closed the door, then guarded the door by herself.

An Sheng's heart was even more suspended by Xiaoguozi's actions, so he simply walked quickly into the room, and as soon as he turned around the screen, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and An Sheng was hugged by the other party's neck in an instant And because of the difference in the height of the little half of the head, An Sheng bent down slightly in response to the opponent's strength.

"...Your Highness?"

Sensing the tightness and uncontrollable trembling of the young man's body in his arms, An Sheng stretched out his hands that were slightly raised by his sides, wrapped his arms around Chu Xian's waist with one hand, and touched his neck soothingly with the other. back.
