Chapter 118 This is called a sense of ritual(2/3)
Fang Chengzhong sighed: "My parents died young, how can anyone help me? Besides, it is not easy for people like us in the army to find a wife. When we get married, we will have to guard the empty house alone. If we are bullied, we can't be found."
Fang Chengzhong quickly gave up the idea: "That's all! I'm afraid I can only stay in the capital and marry a wife when I can no longer walk and march with His Highness. But at that time, I was injured.
It hurts, and I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing to delay others. Maybe no one will like me!”
What Fang Chengzhong said is truly an exaggeration.
He is the deputy general of King Xuan's army. He is not yet thirty years old and has no family background, but he can get to where he is now. It can be said that he is extremely capable.
There are many small families who want to marry their daughters to him!
It's just that all the subordinates who were close to King Xuan did not dare to marry at will.
It is not easy to build Prince Xuan's Mansion to the point where it is like an iron barrel.
If the wife they marry happens to be carefully arranged by the enemy, or if she cannot withstand other people's lobbying, alienation, or large sums of money to lure her, then there will be big trouble!
"Well, although it is not easy to march outside, it is even more difficult to defend an empty house alone." King Xuan said suddenly.
He has always known that Xue Qingyin was wronged for marrying him.
But now this idea is getting stronger.
…
Xue Qingyin, who was alone in the empty room, fell asleep again.
After she got up, the housekeeper came to see her.
She sat there, eating her breakfast slowly while listening to the butler: "Your Highness should leave the city now."
Xue Qingyin looked at the sun hanging outside and asked doubtfully: "Ah? Are you just leaving the city now?"
The housekeeper knew that she did not understand these things, so he smiled and explained in detail: "Your Highness went out early in the morning, not to prepare for the immediate army. Instead, he first offered sacrifices, then met with His Majesty, and then there were courtiers to see him off. When he left the city,
, there are still people who come to watch."
It sounds troublesome.
Xue Qingyin sighed.
So it’s not easy to be a person like King Xuan!
"When we leave the city and arrive at the military camp, we have to appeal to heaven and earth again, invite the three armies to have a drink together, and issue a military order. Then the army will move out. The baggage will follow closely. This will take an hour or two." The steward added.
Xue Qingyin nodded and asked him: "The housekeeper also served in the military?"
The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, except for the servants who are sent by the palace, the rest of them have followed His Highness in battles."
As a result, most of the people placed in Prince Xuan's mansion were confidants.
Because these people have experienced life and death together, their friendship is naturally very comparable. They are highly obedient and loyal.
No wonder King Xuan had previously planned to hand over the power of the housekeeper to her, and was not worried at all about whether she could control the situation, nor was he worried that the news would spread outside and be copied by others.
Xue Qingyin put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth and stood up, saying: "Prepare the carriage."
It's time to visit Zhuangzi again.
What a coincidence.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came to deliver a letter: "This is what Mr. Lin wants to present to his concubine."
Xue Qingyin opened it and took a look.
The general idea is that the two famous painters have gone to Zhuangzi, and they will stay there for a few days to wait for Xue Qingyin.
The word "waiting" is used very strongly.
The paintings of those two painters were worth tens of thousands of dollars, but they were like a master to Master Lin.
It can be seen that Mr. Lin is really good at making friends.
Xue Qingyin put away the letter and left.
The housekeeper quickly sent someone to follow her: "These are the people His Highness has specially reserved for the concubine. The concubine can take them with her. If there is anything, just send them to deal with it."
Xue Qingyin nodded, thinking that in the past it was all thanks to He Songning's people to fill the scene.
Now I rely on King Xuan again!
She said: "Your Highness is considerate."
The butler smiled even more when he heard this, and continued: "If there are not enough, the concubine can also mobilize the personal guards of the house. His Highness said that the token that can mobilize them has been given to the concubine."
Gave it to her?
When did it happen?
Xue Qingyin looked confused.
The housekeeper said: "Two days ago, I saw my concubine hanging on my waist."
Xue Qingyin suddenly realized!
That was before they got married. One time, King Xuan came to Xu's house to see her. He gave her a jewelry stand made of field stones and coral. Later, he took off a jade medal from his waist and hung it around her waist.
Can that thing mobilize the royal guards?
Xue Qingyin couldn't help but sigh.
King Xuan is still so willing!
At that time, I dared to give it to her before she even entered the door.
Xue Qingyin hurriedly asked Nong Xia to take it out of the box and put it on her waist.
Hey, this kind of thing should be shown off when it's time to show off.
This way others will know that you are not to be trifled with!
She will definitely hang on to her every day from now on!
Under the auspices of Butler Lu, those people left behind by King Xuan met her one by one.
Xue Qingyin randomly named someone and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Liu Xiuyuan lives?"
The man nodded: "I know."
"Then it's up to you to invite Mr. Liu to the village on the outskirts of the city for a cup of tea."
"yes!"
Xue Qingyin doesn't know how to do those fancy things. When the time comes to meet the two painters, I'm afraid they won't be able to talk together.
Then call Liu Xiuyuan!
By the time the instructions were given, the carriage was ready.
The carriage of Prince Xuan's Mansion is very different from the carriage of Xue family.
The first is regulation.
The royal carriage prepared by the butler for Xue Qingyin was a full two laps larger than the Xue family's carriage.
Xue Qingyin has no problem living in it.
She sat in comfortably, thinking that I can't be the only one to enjoy such a good thing.
The good daughter immediately ordered to go to Xu's house to pick up Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue was also very happy to see her: "If you are not around, I will inevitably miss you. If your aunt hadn't been with me all day long, I would have nothing to do. I'm really not used to it."
Xue Qingyin said: "Aniang can also take care of the property."
Mrs. Xue said: "Since it is yours, why would I want it back again?"
Xue Qingyin thought for a while and advised: "Just think of it as grandma taking care of it for me."
Mrs. Xue nodded: "That's good."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but ask: "How is the property in Prince Xuan's house?"
Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I don't know, he must be very rich. Otherwise, how could King Xuan be so generous every time he gave me a gift?"
Mrs. Xue suddenly remembered the grand occasion of her betrothal gift...
Mrs. Xue sighed: "Well, you are not the royal concubine, so these are not your business. As long as King Xuan is willing to treat you well, it is enough."
Xue Qingyin said casually: "I was supposed to take care of it, but how can my daughter handle it?"
Mrs. Xue was startled and said in shock: "Is this supposed to be under your control?"
Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yes, all the account books have been brought to me. The housekeeper also gave me the key to the warehouse. There are also various seals. He said that he would hand over the property of the house and the royal family to me."
Mrs. Xue was so shocked that she could not speak.
Prince Xuan’s Mansion is so huge!
The Xue family is far from comparable.
She was able to hand over those properties to Xue Qingyin because she was her own mother.
King Xuan was so reluctant that he even ignored the rules.
To be continued...
