Although there is no one in charge of this group of people, Han Changmu did not come to the capital with empty hands.
When he came to Beijing this time, he took Meng Suige with him for errands and Jin Yu for household matters. He handed the roster to Jin Yu.
Jin Yu is a thirty-four or five-year-old man. His ancestors and fathers were all soldiers of the King of Han. Like Meng Suige, he followed Han Changmu as a servant when he was young. From the prince's personal servant to the prince's side, The general manager of Han Changmu, who grew up with Han Changmu, has an extraordinary friendship. He specializes in taking care of Han Changmu's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and is equally matched with Meng Suige.
Jin Yu and his family followed Han Changmu to Beijing. He was in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, and his wife, Liu, was in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard. The division of labor was reasonable and the cooperation was tacit, allowing Han Changmu to concentrate on his errands.
He carefully looked through the roster and had a general understanding of the situation of these people, then nodded towards Han Changmu.
Han Changmu coughed lightly and spoke slowly. Although his voice was weak, it carried undeniable dignity: "Since you have entered the Prince's Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Prince's Mansion. Jin Yu is the chief manager of the Mansion and will oversee the Mansion." The rules here and everyone's errands will be explained to you one by one. If you do your errands well, my lord will naturally be rewarded. If anyone does not follow the rules or does his errands badly." He sneered: "My lord You are a member of the military, and what is observed in the government is not family law but military law, and what is waiting for you is not a board but a military stick."
Everyone froze for a while after hearing this, and all knelt down, claiming yes.
Han Changmu raised his hand, told these people to stand up, and said to Jin Yu: "Jin Yu, you will arrange the rules and errands." He turned to look at the tall and thin woman standing next to Jin Yu, and said gently: " Mrs. Liu, you are still in charge of the affairs of my inner court."
Jin Yu and Liu both said yes.
Qing Qian was stunned for a moment, a little lost.
After a sound sleep, when Han Changmu woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The bright sunlight came in through the window, without any warmth. The snowy light reflected the window paper, white and translucent.
He hugged the brocade quilt and listened to the sound of rustling snow outside the window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
He is the heir to Prince Han's palace. He holds a large number of troops and is feared by the king. He will rarely be so lax.
This little running around is nothing, but suddenly relaxing is something that should never be done.
There was a sudden knock on the door. He was stunned for a moment and said hoarsely: "Come in."
Qing Qian pushed the door open with a copper pot in hand. While pouring hot water into the copper basin, she turned around and said with a smile: "Young Master, you're awake. You slept peacefully this time. Get up, change your clothes, wash up and have lunch." "
Han Changmu rubbed his eye sockets and said with a smile while cleaning up: "Isn't there a maid in the house? The maid can do all the work."
Qing Qian took the light green round collar robe and served Han Changmu to change. She whispered with a sense of grievance and loss: "Isn't a maid a maid?"
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and asked, "Did Ms. Liu assign you an errand?"
Qing Qian had not been following Han Changmu for a long time, and she did not know much about his character. She could not understand the deep meaning in Han Changmu's words, so she nodded gently: "Sister-in-law Liu pointed out the maid to serve in the young master's room."
Han Changmu nodded and simply said two words: "Very good."
Qing Qian was completely stunned. She was holding Han Changmu's belt in her hand, but she forgot to tie it around his waist.
She originally thought that after following Han Changmu to the capital, she did not dare to dream about the status of concubine, but she should be given the status of concubine. Who would have thought that she would still be neither a maid nor a concubine, even worse than a girl in the same room.
Han Changmu lowered his head and glanced at Qing Qian, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. Of course he knew that Qing Qian had a motive for following him. It is human nature to be greedy, but whether he would give it to him or not was up to him.
When greed comes together, resentment will gradually arise, which is not a good sign.
He shouted outside: "Sister-in-law Liu."
Mrs. Liu responded, hurried in, stood with her hands tied in front of Han Changmu, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at each other openly.
She was born into a family in the palace and worked as a maid to the princess since she was a child. She had a good look and a pure mind, and gained the princess's trust. Later, she chose Jin Yu as his wife.
Han Changmu did not marry a wife or have any concubines, and the backyard was extremely clean. Apart from her taking care of the inner courtyard, there was no other woman in the prince's yard. The ones who cleaned the laundry and served tea and water were all young women. Si.
The only thing she needs to be more vigilant about is to be on guard against the many prodigal boys in the palace who want to climb onto the prince's bed.
She knew Han Changmu's rules. Ordinary maids were not allowed to come within three steps of the main room. When taking a break at night, there was no need for maids to keep watch at night. When she was in the Prince's Mansion in Jiannan Road, she adhered to this rule. She never takes matters into her own hands.
When she saw Qing Qian for the first time, she could tell that Qing Qian was not perfect. She got off the car with Han Changmu, and she immediately understood that this was the person that her eldest son had taken into the house. She then arranged for Qing Qian to do the interior decoration of the house. Maid.
When she was guarding the door just now, she heard the conversation between Han Changmu and Qing Qian, but she was frank and had no selfish intentions.
Han Changmu is the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the crown prince's concubine. Even if he wants to take a concubine, he must have a clean family background, and only those who have passed the Ming Road must inform the prince and the princess. Like this, there is no matchmaker, There is no room for it in the palace.
"Sister-in-law Liu, please tell me the rules in my room, daily preferences and Qingqian in detail. From now on, I will keep her in my room to serve." Han Changmu said to Mrs. Liu with a gentle expression.
Mrs. Liu calmly nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the moonsilver of that Qingqian girl is better than the moonsilver of a first-class maid."
Han Changmu nodded: "Okay, let's do this for now." He turned to Qing Qian and said gently: "There are strict rules in the palace. If you take a concubine, you have to go through the clear road and record it in the genealogy. I will write to my father in the next two days to report it. I understand my father, the queen, my mother and my concubine, and after crossing the path of understanding, I will officially accept you as my concubine."
Qing Qian raised her lips and smiled. She looked very happy, but her heart sank. She was not as happy as her face. She originally thought that Han Changmu would at least give her the title of concubine, but she didn't expect that she would just be a concubine. , she thought Han Changmu was not a vulgar person, but it turned out that he was also a thin lover who cared about reputation.
All this time, she had been blinded by delusion, underestimated Han Changmu's ruthlessness, and also ignored his coldness.
She felt her heart was heavy, but she still smiled on her face and nodded gently: "I don't care about my status, as long as I can follow the master."
Han Changmu patted Qing Qian's hand with his backhand, nodded and said, "Let's make some food, I have to go out later."
After Qing Qian walked away, Han Changmu's face darkened. There were some things that he could take the initiative to give, but others could not take the initiative to ask for them. Those who are greedy will one day be swallowed up by greed.
He looked at Ms. Liu and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't let Qing Qian go out. You must carefully watch who she interacts with, what she says and does, and report everything back."
Mr. Liu solemnly said yes, without any doubt that he was there.
After all, he is a member of the prince's room, so he should be more careful.
He thought for a moment and then said: "How is my mother's illness?"
Mrs. Liu did not dare to be careless, her face was solemn, and she replied in detail: "The princess's illness is getting worse day by day, and now she will wake up only in three to five days."
Han Changmu felt a sudden pain in his heart. He went to Hexi this time for another important matter, which was to find the whereabouts of the miracle doctor and to diagnose his mother, but in the end, he returned without success.
He was silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said sadly: "I understand, please step back."
After lunch, the sun was clear and warm, dispelling some of the cold winter feeling.
The Dajing Dynasty started making copies on the sixth day of the lunar month, but the officials were still a little lazy after the New Year, and there was nothing important in the government office. The officials who did not go to court every day stayed in the government office eating melon seeds and drinking. Drink tea and talk about the gossip between the people of the DPRK and China.
But the Jingzhao Mansion was no longer so free. The case of Song Huaide was pressing on her head. Song Ying went to the palace again and cried to her favored sister, the Concubine Xian. Zhaofu Yin Liu Jinghong's head, Liu Jinghong naturally did not have a good year.
Liu Jinghong, the governor who had not seen the saint for many years, was brought into the palace by the saint on the day before sealing Xiu Mu thanks to the gift of Song Ying. He was not given the red seal as a new year's reward, and he got a lot of it. He cursed and came back disgraced.
He couldn't live a good life this year. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when the photocopying started, he went to the Yamen without delay. He waited and looked forward to it every day. Finally, he finally got Yao Yao back. He originally wanted to get it last night. He came to the government office to check on Yao Yao, but it was too cold outside and the bed was too warm, so he didn't get up.
Liu Jinghong came to the Yamen office early in the morning to wait, but after waiting for lunch, before Yao Yao showed up, he rushed to the third room. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the deafening sound inside. There was a shout, and the playing cards clattered.
He glanced at it, and his head was buzzing non-stop. The agents of his Jingzhao Mansion, led by the arrester He Dengglou, were squatting on the ground playing leaf cards, one card after another. Falling to the ground, smoke billowing, like a war.
He suddenly became angry, his forehead was twitching with heat, his eyes were red with anger, and he shouted at the door: "You still want to play cards, is A Yao here!!!"
He Denglou and others trembled in fright, dropped their cards, lined up timidly, lowered their heads, suppressed laughter, and said in unison: "No."
Liu Jinghong shouted: "Don't she live in a public apartment? Didn't she come back last night? Why hasn't she been seen for a long time?"
He Denglu lowered his head and whispered: "Yao Canjun came back last night, said hello, and then left again."
"Let's go, where are we going?!" Liu Jinghong roared angrily.
He Denglu's voice became even softer: "Go to Pingkangfang and drink some flower wine."
"..." Liu Jinghong was so angry that he fell down.
It's too much. When he returned to Beijing, he didn't come to run errands the first time, but he went to drink wine as soon as possible. If he didn't deduct Yao Yao's salary for three months, his surname would not be Liu.
