Chapter 646 The Story of Nanzhi and Beiju

"Thank you so much, Princess Yuan'an!" In Shao Yanru's room, Shao Yanru picked up a cup of tea, stood up, replaced the wine with tea, bowed sideways to Princess Yuan'an, and said softly.

"There's no need for us sisters to be polite!" Princess Yuan'an smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, took her hand and asked her to sit down, and said helplessly, "It's not a big deal in the first place, I just wanted to give it to you. Just support me, I just didn’t expect that your fifth sister is not simple! I don’t know if it’s a disservice!”

Shao Yanru knew that she was talking about asking her mother to deal with the servants in the courtyard, so she said politely: "Why does the princess have to say such things? This matter was originally caused by my mother's lack of discipline. Who would have thought that someone would be so bold?" , dare to really steal the things the Queen Mother rewarded."

She won't take on this responsibility! Not knowing is the best reason!

"It's best for my sister to think so!" Princess Yuan'an held her hand and smiled, "Since the gift was given by the Queen Mother, it cannot be ignored, let alone stolen by a servant. If this kind of thing spreads, not only will it be easy to talk about, but even the Queen Mother will be angry!"

"I know... I just went to persuade my grandmother to look into this matter... We must not let a servant mess up and misunderstand our family... Please ask the princess to explain this matter to the Queen Mother Let's do it." Shao Yanru sighed softly and held Princess Yuan'an back. There was mist in her beautiful eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

"Don't worry, I will tell the Queen Mother about this matter. I can't blame you entirely for this matter... The servants always fail to live up to expectations. I'm afraid it's because the master, Miss Fifth, has never been in the yard. Those servants see There is no serious master in the yard, so I have other thoughts!"

Princess Yuan'an calmly explained to her.

"It's the same reason. It's just that the courtyard was not in a hurry to prepare it, but the eldest princess Ruian intervened... I couldn't help but listen to the eldest princess Ruian, so I prepared it early and selected someone to match it. I passed by, but I didn’t expect that because the yard was prepared early and there was no master in the yard, the next generation’s expectations were in vain!”

Shao Yanru nodded.

The meaning of these two people's words was to excuse the Duke of Xingguo. They meant that it was not that the servant was bad. It was good when he was carried over, but because there was no master to control him, the servant was neglected. In my heart, what happened today also happened. Generally speaking, it was because the yard was allocated early and there was no master to control it.

The reason is not the fault of Duke Xingguo.

As for Mrs. Xingguo, the head wife's responsibilities have been reduced a lot. After all, when she was a servant, she was good, but now she is not good, and it is not her fault. Who makes Piaoyun Courtyard without one? With a serious master here, if something goes wrong, Mrs. Xingguo cannot be entirely blamed.

With Princess Yuan'an's words here, a big stone fell in Shao Yanru's heart. Princess Yuan'an could speak well with the Queen Mother, and she had always had an excellent reputation. Everyone said that Princess Yuan'an was fair in dealing with matters. , since she said so here, she will also say the same to the Queen Mother.

It can be regarded as a disguised explanation for Xingguo Gongfu.

It’s just a story about Nan Zhi and Bei Ju. The Xingguo Duke’s government’s responsibility is not that big.

"Even the eldest princess of Ruian should not be so involved in other affairs. Your Duke Xingguo can refute this inappropriate request!" Princess Yuan'an said softly, completely siding with Shao Yanru. Talking can make people feel good!

"But... that is the fifth sister's grandmother. For the sake of the fifth sister... how could the eldest princess Ruian not intervene!" Shao Yanru sighed softly and said helplessly. As he spoke, he lowered his head and took the handkerchief. Zi wiped it gently at the corners of his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he only saw slightly red eyes.

A decent smile appeared on his face, but he was just reluctant: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Grandma and mother will handle it. I would like to trouble Princess Yuan'an to come over. I really feel sorry for her. Originally, I just wanted to borrow By taking advantage of the princess's power, the princess was wronged, and I am here to apologize to the princess for our Duke Xingguo's Mansion!"

Someone had already reported what happened in Piaoyun Courtyard to Shao Yanru, and they also knew that Princess Yuanan was in trouble with Shao Wanru, so mentioning it in a subtle way at this time would naturally arouse Princess Yuanan's anger. meaning.

But what he said was very sincere, as if he meant it sincerely, and he took the initiative to find fault, which made people feel that Shao Yanru was a very good person!

"It's all trivial matters. Since there is nothing else to do now, I will go back first. I will go to the palace later. The Queen Mother sent someone to talk about it before!" Princess Yuanan's eyes flashed and she stood up with a smile. When he got up, he seemed not to hear the provocation in Shao Yanru's words.

"I'll give it to the princess!" Shao Yanru also stood up.

"Miss Shao, you don't have to be polite. Why should we be like this? You go and help your mother handle today's affairs first. They must be palace belongings and cannot be treated casually. If the Queen Mother asks, I will report the truth truthfully. , we can’t let the Queen Mother know that there is nothing to deal with in your house!”

Princess Yuan'an smiled, patted Shao Yanru's hand affectionately, and then left with the others, as if she didn't see Shao Yanru's slightly stiff face!

Although she didn't like Shao Wanru, she didn't intend to really become a sharp blade in Shao Yanru's hands!

I originally thought that with my identity, I could casually intimidate Shao Wanru, but I found that Shao Wanru was not as simple as he seemed. In this case, she would not take sides so easily. She could just wait for things to change. .

Grandma said that her identity cannot be escaped by a princess, it depends on which palace she enters. Shao Yanru is her biggest competitor...

The yard of Piaoyun Courtyard has actually been well tidied up, and it still looks very good on the outside. But in addition to some good decorations that the eldest princess sent her before, from time to time in Zhili, you can see some decorations that the Duke of Xingguo sent for her. Simple and ordinary decorations under the layout.

The entire Piaoyun Courtyard has a bright appearance. In fact, it is not very good, but Shao Wanru still has to live with this kind of muteness.

Because she is still observing filial piety and practicing cultivation, no matter how ordinary she is, she still has to endure it all her life. But now she is suffering like this all her life. In the end, she will no longer observe filial piety, no longer cultivate herself, and can’t say anything anymore. After all, she lived before He didn't say anything when he came in, and what he said afterward seemed a bit too superficial.

It would appear that everything she had done before was just superficial and was done for others to see. Once the time is up, everything would return to how it should be!

Although it was unexpected for Shao Wanru to return to the house at this time, she had already agreed before that she would go down the mountain before the year. At that time, she had not finished observing her filial piety, but she spent the remaining few days at the house. Even when she came down from the mountain, it was inconvenient for her to interfere with the decorations in the house.

On the one hand, it is naturally because of filial piety, but on the other hand, it is because during the Chinese New Year, there are so many things to do, even if it is a little messy and not in place, it is understandable!

"Miss, they have gone too far!" Aunt Yu angrily recounted what happened during this period in the room, and then pointed to a screen behind her and said, "This screen is obviously not very good anymore." Well, but no one came to replace it. The old slave went to the madam, and the madam said that the screen was arranged by the madam. The old slave went to the madam again, but the madam said that this matter was entirely under the madam's control... "

The more Aunt Jade talked, the angrier she became. In fact, it was not just this one thing. Many things in this room were ordinary and shabby, and also made people feel ridiculous. Such decorations were actually placed in front of her own young lady. Aunt Jade The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but even though she had searched all the masters in the house, they were all pushed out again.

Moreover, many times she never saw these masters at all, but was dismissed by the confidants in front of them. Even if something really happened, they could just pretend they didn't know about it.

I can't find anyone even if I try to find him, not to mention that Shao Wanru can't take the initiative to come to him now!

The Qing cultivator on the mountain can do it, but how can he cause trouble when he returns home because his decorations are not gorgeous enough? Mrs. Xingguo also did this because she was sure of this.

After Aunt Yu recounted all her sufferings, Shao Wanru smiled slightly and turned her eyes to the screen behind her.

This screen is a large screen with twelve panels. In terms of scale, it is really not that big. Even the one that the Dowager placed in the room just now is probably not that big.

If he just said that, no one would think that Duke Xingguo's palace was treating him lightly. Such a large screen with twelve leaves was also placed in his room. In the entire Duke Xingguo's palace, there was only one in the wife's room. Twelve large screens.

The material of this twelve-panel screen is also very good, and it is still made of fine pear wood, but the cotton embroidery stretched on it is really old. Not only is it old, but the corners are also hairy. The originally gorgeous flower patterns embroidered on it were blurred, and even looked rotten, with the threads in several places already blurred.

It looks old, and it's extremely uncomfortable.

From the gorgeous peonies in spring to the extraordinary red plums in winter, it should be stunning no matter which direction you look at it, but now it smells of mold because it is old.

In fact, it’s not just this screen, but also other decorations. Most of them look old, and they are still the kind of decorations that should have been used long ago, or should have been repaired and reused. They are just displayed in this room with such grandeur. .

"Miss, they are so bullying!" Yu Jie looked around the whole room and said angrily.

This house was the same as when they moved in three years ago. The decorations in the house were as beautiful as the sky and the ground. The decorations at that time were extremely gorgeous, and each item could be seen to have been carefully prepared. It has been decorated and looks like new, but these things now look like they are old things that have been used by others, or are worn out and can no longer be used.

There was no sorting or repair at all, it was just released.

"Miss, let's invite the eldest princess to come and take a look." Qu Le was also very angry and suggested after turning around.

"You can't always look for grandma!" Shao Wanru shook his head. Princess Ruian couldn't repeatedly interfere in the affairs of the Xingguo Palace, otherwise it would inevitably arouse the displeasure of the emperor and the queen mother.

She couldn't let her grandmother interfere more with the affairs of the Xingguo Duke's palace. Even if she wanted to interfere, she could only interfere with Hao'er's affairs. She couldn't waste it on unimportant things. She would handle such matters and not cause more trouble for her grandmother. Trouble, there is a sinister look in her eyes, she won't accept this dumb loss!

"We make up for it ourselves, repair it ourselves, we have to find a way to look decent, right?"
