Chronicle of Emperor Jing

He is only ten years old, and he is still a child. He is only so old, so let him be the housekeeper. This kind of thing of shirking responsibility and embarrassing the child, is only his father doing it?

At this time, Wei Minwen admitted that he was just a child and no longer regarded himself as an adult.

"My lord, where do you plan to put the director's place?" The head steward directly ignored his refusal to accept the reality, and began to discuss specific matters.

Wei Yan only opened the mansion for a short period of time, and the housekeeper is basically responsible for the affairs of the mansion, and only important matters are reported to him for decision.

However, in such a short period of time, there are not many major events, so Wei Yan thinks that the housekeeper is very simple, and it is understandable.

But Wei Minwen didn't think so. If he was like his father, it would be easy to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he couldn't help but work hard. If he really took on this job, he probably wouldn't be able to do it. To be as unrestrained and easy as his father.

For the current plan, it is better to pretend that there is no such thing, he will not believe it, he will not take over, and his father can continue to do it as a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Where to put it? Don't put it anywhere. Go to my father for these things, don't come to me." Wei Minwen pushed the pot immediately.

"My son, you should have decided on a place early, so let's get things done. Seeing that the Laba Festival is approaching, there are a lot of things to do, and there are also things for the New Year's Day, and things for the next year. There are a lot of things waiting for you Make up your mind!" The head steward ignored Shi Zi's displeased expression, and began to repeat one by one.

"When the mansion was opened, Master Hou never entertained guests. When Master Hou has a little more time, he will definitely bring up this matter. We should also make preparations for the banquet, so as not to be in a hurry and have no rules." The big housekeeper I remembered something again, and continued to think about it.

"I told you, for these things, go to your father, not me!" Wei Minwen didn't listen, just didn't listen.

"My son, Mr. Qi seems to have something to do when he comes to Beijing this time. Mr. Qi is a close friend of the Hou Ye. The Hou Ye is busy with business and cannot be distracted for a while. We idlers have to help the Hou Ye take care of these trivial matters. Already." The butler remembered something again.

"I'm also very busy. I still have to study. After the new year, my grandfather told me to go home to study." Wei Minwen racked his brains, finally remembered this matter, and hurriedly took it out to shirk it.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry about studying, but about the imminent affairs of the house. You don't care, and the Marquis doesn't care. Some things really can't be decided by me alone." The big housekeeper urged again.

"You go out, I have to review my homework." Wei Minwen called out and asked the boy to bring his book.

"Your Majesty, why don't you put the director's place on the Fourth Jindong Road, which is also close to Lord Hou's main courtyard. When there is an important matter, you can go to ask Lord Hou for instructions." The big housekeeper suggested.

The butler has followed Wei Yan for decades, so he doesn't know his temper.His Lord Marquis was a real dude when he was young, and when he was a little older, he would use all his energy to deal with the business outside, and once he returned to the mansion, he would not worry about anything. Compared with Shizi, the ability to be carefree and carefree in his eyes is many times higher. Even if Shizi wants to compete with him in patience, he still can't survive him.

It is simply impossible for the prince to escape, so it is better to settle all these things early and manage things well. As long as there are established rules for the affairs of the mansion, many things will be easier to handle in the future.

The big housekeeper is very thoughtful, but his family's eldest son just refuses to accept his fate easily.

"I do not care!"

"Since the son does not object, this matter has been settled. I will instruct someone to tidy up the place." The head housekeeper only regarded him as agreeing, saluted him, and then left to deal with the matter.

Wei Minwen grabbed a book, pretended to read it, and tried hard to forget about it.

Of course, he could forget about it, but no one else could forget him.

The stewards of the mansion had Master Hou send someone over to give orders. Knowing that the mansion is now governed by the prince, all of them sharpened their heads and wanted to get close to the prince, wanting to make a familiar face in front of the prince.

Wei Yan's idea at the beginning was correct, as long as Minwen took over the power of the housekeeper and became the master, there would be only flatterers, and no one would dare to neglect him.

For this situation, he was happy to see the results, and felt that he had done a pretty good job.

But he didn't know that his son became more resentful after being flattered by these people, complaining and complaining about him.

In this matter, the emperor only showed a faint shadow. Wei Yan felt that this was a good idea he came up with, and never mentioned the emperor at all. Wei Minwen had no idea that this was another good thing done by the emperor.

When it was time for dinner, when Wei Minwen was eating with his father, he emphasized again that he was too young to be a housekeeper.

"What are you afraid of when you're young? In ancient times, Gan Luo was the twelve-year-old prime minister. Could it be that my housekeeper, Minwen, is ten years old?" Wei Yan said very logically.

Wei Minwen almost choked on his words.

This is the truth, but is it feasible?Shouldn't the young him be used like this?

In his heart, Wei Minwen told how old he was to Xiaoli, and directly connected him with Xiaoxiao.

Unfortunately, no matter how young he was, his father remained unmoved and insisted on his ridiculous decision.

After eating, on the way back, Wei Minwen only felt that the north wind was blowing his heart a little chilly.

Thinking that he would be burdened with a lot of trivial matters from now on, he couldn't move.

"My lord, why don't we go to the mansion over there tomorrow and hide for a few days?" A boy next to him, who was just at the age of saving his head, had a childish heart, and seeing that he was so unhappy, he gave him an idea. .

Hearing this, Wei Minwen was a little moved.

Run to Zhongyonghou's mansion, cry a few words to grandparents, and grandparents will take father over to scold him, and father will take his life back.

Refusing to take on the important role of housekeeper, he couldn't help thinking about this beautiful scene.

"Cough..." The other boy following him coughed lightly, glared at the boy who suggested the idea, and said, "My lord, it is good for the butler to have the trouble of the butler. As long as the lord takes charge of the housekeeper Right, it will be much more convenient to do whatever you want in the future.”

This one is a little older, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old, a little bit older, and a little bit more thoughtful.

In other mansions, the power of stewardship will be fought over.In the Yongning Hou Mansion, there are only two masters, Lord Hou and Shizi, one big and one small, so there is no need to fight, and this job falls directly on Shizi's head.

Household chores are complicated and cumbersome to deal with, but the benefits are obvious. The son has to ask Lord Hou for instructions on what to do now. Although Lord Hou should do everything, what if there is something that should not be done?

Once the son takes charge of the house, he can decide many things by himself.

What's more, when the son is in charge of the family, the people around him will naturally rise. Even if they are young, they are too young to take on great responsibilities, but there are not a few outsiders who want good words from those around them.

But in an instant, so many thoughts turned in this boy's mind. It can only be said that those who were picked out by Mr. Wei and Mrs. Liu to serve Wei Yan and Wei Minwen were not stupid.

"That's what I said, but..." Wei Minwen was so worried that he almost lost his hair.

He understands the truth, but he just doesn't want to be a housekeeper.

Why should his father not care about anything and be unrestrained for decades, but he has to take on this important task at such a young age?

It is simply the injustice of heaven, the injustice ends here!

In Yongning Hou's mansion, Wei Minwen was condemning God, and in the harem, there was also a lot of resentment towards God's son.

"Sister Zhou!" Concubine Hua De blessed Concubine Zhou and saluted.

"Sister Hua is here! Please sit down and serve tea!" Concubine Zhou extended her hand to invite her to take a seat.

The two drank tea in silence for a while, and then Concubine Hua De said: "Sister Zhou, Your Majesty won't really put us in the cold palace, right?"

"Sister Hua is afraid?" Concubine Zhou asked with a faint smile.

"Sister, I heard that the Marquis of Yongning is His Majesty's beloved." Concubine Hua De was indeed a little worried, not only worried about the emperor, but also about the reaction of the Wei family.

A centipede is dead but not stiff. The Wei family has been in business for more than a hundred years. Although it has fallen now, with the Marquis of Yongning around, it is not difficult to get up again.If someone targeted Yongninghou in this way, the Wei family would naturally not stand idly by.

"Your Majesty's beloved?" Concubine Zhou Gui smiled, but did not continue.

How long can the emperor's love last, no one asks, and there is no need to ask.

In this harem, those who are too entangled in love often die quickly. Only those who put love aside and learn to calculate gains and losses can stand firmly.

This is the law of survival in the harem, and those of them who are based in the era have learned this a long time ago.

"The imperial concubine, the empress de concubine!" They were talking, when suddenly a court lady hurried into the palace and reported, "Chen Xiurong of Yanxi Palace committed suicide by throwing himself into the trap!"

Concubine Zhou pressed the teacup to a few places, took a deep breath, and asked, "Has anyone been rescued?"

If the person was not rescued, the emperor might have to give in. After all, the emperor persecuted the concubines so much that they killed their concubines in the end, which is not a good reputation.

"Because it was discovered in time, the person was rescued, but Chen Xiurong hurt his throat, according to the doctor's diagnosis, he needs to rest for a while." The maid continued to report.

"Does Your Majesty know? What should I say?" Concubine Hua De asked.

"Your Majesty only ordered Manager Fu Ji to come over, and gave an order, saying that Chen Xiurong can stay if he wants to. When the day comes, just don't regret it." The maid said again.

"Where are the others?" Concubine Hua De asked again.

"So are the others."

Concubine Hua De and Concubine Zhou looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

They spent so much effort and finally got the result that they could stay, but they didn't feel any joy in their hearts.

"Sister, is there still a need for the court affairs?" Concubine Hua De said after being silent for a while.

"Sister, the arrow is on the string, and I have to do it. Besides, there are some things that are not about the harem, but about the court." Concubine Zhou pointed at her.

The ministers in the court are intriguing and deceitful every day. What are they fighting for? Isn't it fame, fortune, power and wealth?

Now, seeing that Commander Shen is old and the position of Commander of the Guards is about to be vacant, Xiao secretly thinks that there are not a few people in this position, and Marquis Yongning has long blocked the way of others. It's just a meeting.
