Tu Shanyue took Mei Xiang's hand and warned her carefully.
"It's over, be good and serve your uncle well." Tu Shanyue hugged Mei Xiang, "I'll be over in two days."
Mei Xiang nodded obediently.
Xiao Niangpi kissed her on the cheek and let her get on the sedan.
Tu Shanyue waved as she watched Aunt Mei take Mei Xiang into the sedan chair.
A group of people set out for Yang Mansion in Dongsi.
Today is the dowry delivery from the Tushan family, so Yang Fan naturally doesn't have to go to greet it in person.
Mei Xiang couldn't bear this treatment either.
So early in the morning, General Manager Zhao Fu dressed in auspicious clothes and led everyone to greet him at the door.
The concierge of the Tushan family handed over to Zhao Fu at the gate, and immediately carried the relevant property into the gate.
However, Mei Xiang's sedan broke away from the team early and turned down a small alley. Three servants and four sedan bearers carried it to the back door.
Mei Xiang is a concubine and is not qualified to be carried into the Yang Mansion through the main entrance.
Although Yang Fan didn't care, everyone tried to dissuade him. This was no joke. The master was a minister. If there were any problems with etiquette, he would be impeached by the censor.
Yang Fan didn't need to pay attention to the dowry matter in the front yard. Someone would naturally handle it clearly. Yang Fan sat obediently in the middle hall, waiting for Mei Xiang to kowtow to him.
Because he couldn't leave, Yaoguang stayed in Zunhua to deal with various matters and did not come over. Today, Xiangyi, on behalf of the housekeeper, greeted Aunt Mei at the back door.
The servants at the back door set off a burst of firecrackers first.
"Auntie, please get off the sedan." The concierge called.
Aunt Mei wiped her tears. She didn't expect her uncle to be so kind to her daughter. Even though it was a back door, she gave her all the courtesy she deserved.
Even a little over the top.
The two bearers in front gently lowered the sedan.
The two maids opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and Aunt Mei supported Mei Xiang, who was covered with a red hijab, and stepped out of the sedan chair.
There was also a three-foot-wide red carpet on the ground.
Mei Xiang lives in the west wing of the main courtyard.
Now that I have decided to be a concubine, I naturally need to have relevant treatment. It is no longer possible to put a small canopy bed on the side of the bedroom of the host and hostess like the girl in the same room.
The east wing is occupied by Lin Yueru, his master and his servant.
Now Sister Lin has naturally stopped.
There is no need to make a fuss, her identity has been settled, and she will live her life honestly in the Yang Mansion from now on.
However, although Yang Fan was angry, he couldn't really regard her as a slave girl bought with money.
The identity of the concubine must be given.
After all, he represents a force under Yang Fan in the future.
The people who voted for Duke Wei still looked after their young lady.
Yang Fan's house has been replaced with glass windows. Through the glass windows, Lin Yueru and the others looked at Yang Fan's newly married concubine, surrounded by a group of people, and then turned into the yard from the back, surrounded by a group of people. , went into the main hall.
Lin Yueru looked at the lively scene without saying a word, holding a handkerchief in her hand. Yang Fan had never held such a formal ceremony for her, and Yang Fan did not come over to touch her, as if everyone was just a transaction.
"Huh, what's there to be proud of? He's just a maidservant of Miss Tushan," Xiaoyu snorted coldly.
Hong'er was behind her, expressionless, as if these things had nothing to do with her.
Hong'er has been depressed since she broke up with Zhuzi, crying all day long.
I have no interest in these bullshit things. Anyway, my love is gone. So what is love? From now on, I will just serve the young lady and live in the Yang Mansion.
"Is this woman the Mei family? She looks quite beautiful. It seems that the master's newly married Aunt Mei is not much different." Lin Yueru hung her arms and said with a sneer.
She entered the role relatively quickly. In fact, she was quite attracted to Yang Fan.
Whenever there's nothing wrong, he always talks coquettishly and acts coquettishly with Yang Fan. There is an element of deliberately angering Shanyue, and there is also an element of having a good impression of Yang Fan in his heart.
In fact, she had already figured it out at this time. Based on her understanding of Yang Fan's temper, although Yang Fan was angry at the time, he would not really kill her.
Give her a good lesson, and once the anger subsides, everything will be fine.
Lin Yueru has been living under someone else's roof since she was a child, and is used to observing people's words and emotions. He has also been the number one at Tianxiang Tower for many years, spying on the guests' moods and saying things to please them, which he has at his fingertips, and he can handle them with great discretion.
She is not a good person.
You need to have good looks, a good figure, be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and piano skills, and be able to serve others. She is still a stall owner of Dongchang, she is ruthless and has extraordinary machinations and tricks. She really doesn't take Mei Xiang seriously.
Who can win the favor of the master depends on his own ability.
There is no real enmity between him and his master, it's just that his adoptive father is his enemy. Yang Fan used his adoptive father to force her, so she naturally wanted to fight Yang Fan to the death.
Yang Fan knew it very well. Solving this matter now is the best outcome. He will naturally feel relieved.
There was a grand master's chair in the middle of the nave, and Yang Fan was sitting on it upright.
Aunt Mei walked in holding Mei Xiang.
The concubine's entrance was not as grand as the main room, and she had to cross a saddle and a brazier.
Just kowtow to the master.
Because Tu Shanyue hasn't come in yet, she can't serve tea to the mistress yet. She has to wait for Tu Shanyue to come over.
Aunt Mei supported Mei Xiang, and the two of them knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Fan.
From now on, the two of them belong to the Yang family. The day-to-day affairs of the back house were managed by Aunt Mei, who followed Tu Shanyue's wishes and managed the specific affairs of the inner house.
Aunt Mei will be the housekeeper from now on, and her status is the same as that of Zhao Fu. They are both servants of the Yang family and the general manager.
Yang Fan naturally wanted to give him courtesy.
"My slave, I bow to the master." The two of them kowtowed to Yang Fan.
"Okay, get up," Yang Fan said seriously. "A meeting gift for Aunt Mei and my aunt."
Xiangyi quickly brought a set of gold head and face jewelry and a set of turquoise jewelry on a plate.
The gold jewelry is for Mei Xiang.
The turquoise jewelry is for Aunt Mei. This kind of jewelry is suitable for older women. It looks graceful, dignified and classy.
The two girls raised their heads and thanked the master.
Mei Xiang is covered with a red hijab, and her face cannot be seen.
Aunt Mei looks to be in her early thirties, with an oval face, soft facial features, and a gentle and demure look. The shadow of Mei Xiang can be vaguely seen on her eyebrows.
Yang Fan nodded secretly. From an image point of view, Aunt Mei was very qualified as a housekeeper, knowledgeable, gentle, and handsome.
"From now on, we will be members of the Yang family, and this will be your home from now on. The Yang family does not have so many rules. I hope you can all live happily. Everyone should be harmonious and tolerant of each other when we are together, and don't engage in fights in the inner house. I'm more bothered by the fight. You have to be reasonable in everything and respect others. Everything is negotiable. I have nothing else to say, that's all."
Yang Fan said a few words and the ceremony was over.
Later, Mei Xiang was sent to her new house in the west wing.
Aunt Mei went to the front yard to check on the dowry with Zhao Fu.
Yang Fan went to the study to handle official business.
A banquet was held in the east courtyard to celebrate the master's taking in a concubine. The servants and slaves all went to have a drink.
Because it is a concubine, no outsiders are invited.
Yang Fan entered the study and read some information from the court. One piece of information caught his eye and he frowned. One of the eunuchs beside His Majesty was relegated to Fengyang for interceding with Wei Zhongxian.
This man was one of the eunuchs who served Wei Zhongxian when he was washing horses in Jishuitan Royal Horse Prison. They had a close friendship, and later he was assigned to serve King Xin in Prince Xin's Mansion.
Recently, Donglin mobilized civil servants to impeach Wei Zhongxian like a tsunami. Wei Zhongxian was desperate and didn't know what to do, so he came to his old friend privately and asked him for advice.
This old friend was also very interesting. After getting drunk, he persuaded Wei Zhongxian that the fight in the court was just for power. If he handed over the power, he should be able to escape unscathed.
There is no need for Your Majesty to kill them all.
After all, Concubine Zheng is still poking around.
At least one-tenth of the power in the court is still firmly in the hands of Concubine Zheng. The connections accumulated during the three dynasties are not trivial.
There are still many supporters of Fu Fan in the local area, and His Majesty must consider these.
Immediately, Wei Zhongxian proposed to file a lawsuit, and Chongzhen quickly approved it.
Then, the great eunuch who said good things to Wei Zhongxian to Chongzhen became miserable. After being reprimanded, he was sent to Fengyang to grow vegetables.
Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are you about to take action?
Yang Fan tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the situation.
"Call Aunt Lin to come here." Yang Fan ordered to the door.
