The guards around Jian Yu who came to Shengjing returned to the south of the Yangtze River after she arrived at Taifu's Mansion. The other maids and nuns who accompanied her were more familiar with Jian Yu's daily life, and they followed Jian Yu to take care of her.
After arriving at Taifu's Mansion, in addition to the servants she brought with her, Taifu Jian also sent six nuns to Jian Yu. They were all dowries from Jian Yu's grandmother's natal family.
The old lady sent them away from a distance before, but now Jian Yu has come and asked them to enter Jian Yu's yard to serve them.
Those who can come with him as a dowry are all able to cope with the situation. The nuns are dedicated to doing the best for the young master, so they get along well with the servants Jian Yu brings.
"Princess, a group of people came outside and said it was your dowry."
The guard boy who came to report swallowed his saliva when he mentioned the dowry. First, he was nervous, because it was not his turn to report such a thing, but the stewards and servants were all gathered here, so he had no choice but to come here. , the second is shock.
No noble family in the Zhou Dynasty could marry more than thirty maids and wives! A young lady from an ordinary family would only have four to eight maids and a nanny.
When a newlywed bride arrives at her husband's mansion, her family's servants must keep a low profile at first. Then look at the servants at the door who claim to be the princess's dowry. Each and every one of them is as imposing as the officers and soldiers patrolling on the street!
He didn't dare to have the slightest thought of neglect. He didn't even dare to ask a question, so he hurriedly came over to report.
Thinking about it, only someone with a sick mind would come here pretending to be someone else. However, the princess's brides were so arrogant that they actually came to the front door and knocked on the door instead of the corner door and the back door.
"This is the token that the other party sent Xiao."
The boy put his hands on his head, not too far or too close for Jian Yu to check.
Hongmei stepped forward to check, and then went to Jian Yu to report that it was a token. Jian Yu nodded, and Hongmei said to the young man: "Your Majesty, please open the side door and let us go."
Side door! The steward on the side twitched his eyebrows. Only a respectable steward in the mansion could go through the side door. Some of the little maids and grandmothers didn’t have that status!
The dissatisfied steward felt a greater sense of crisis when he saw the dowry entering the main hall.
"Slave, please see the princess."
The dowry servants were lined up in four rows in the main hall, their movements were neat and orderly, their voices were loud but not shrill, and the atmosphere became more solemn for no reason.
You must know that these maids came from the south of the Yangtze River with Jian Yu. They were carefully selected by Jian's father and mother. When Jian's father was there, in order to better take care of Jian Yu, all the servants' rules were very orderly.
She did not give in to the soldiers in the military camp. The maids would also practice military martial arts on weekdays. This was suggested by Jian's father, saying that if someone bullied his daughter when she went out, the maids around her would be able to regain their place.
After hearing this, Jian's mother thought it made sense, so she used money as a reward. If she learned well, she would be given money. Everyone was very motivated.
As far as the maids in the palace are concerned, the dowry brought by Jian Yu can beat three.
This was also the reason why the old lady was unable to do anything to Jian Yu these days in the back house. The servants she brought were so comprehensive, thoughtful and polite that she had no chance to make a move.
"No gift."
Jian Yu raised her hand upward, making a gesture of abstaining from the ceremony, which also gave her face as a bride. You must know that it was Hongmei who yelled at the servants in the house before to get them up. The princess did not speak at all, let alone move.
The dowrymen stood up and immediately began to disperse.
"You are here just in time to tell them about my princess' daily rules."
Jian Yu put her arms on the table and gently rubbed her temples with her thumbs, her face showing fatigue.
Her dowry expression swept across everyone, her eyes were slightly disgusted, and her face said why are you so depressed, making the princess tired!
"Who is in charge of the garden plants? The princess cannot stand the smell of lilacs. All lilacs in the garden need to be eradicated."
"Which steward is in charge of cleaning the courtyard? The dust is too thick. The princess cannot stand the dirt. The dust will make her sick..."
"Who is the chef in charge of the palace? The princess has many taboos, and the ones you need to pay attention to are different in every season and every month..."
…
The nun in the mansion talked about the problems she found on the way from the front door to the back house one by one, asked the responsible steward, and arranged for a maid to explain it to him.
Regarding the precautions of the master of the palace, as a slave, how dare you not listen. Regarding the princess's dowry, he nodded and agreed to remember it in his heart.
If someone wants to remember too much, the servant will show a flattering smile and ask if he can take a piece of paper to write it down later. When the dowry maid nods and says yes, the servants of the palace will smile gratefully...
Seeing this scene made the housekeeper feel heartbroken. His original intention was to give the princess a warning and let her know that if she wanted to take charge of the palace well, she must have a good relationship with him.
It is also to let the other party know his importance, so as to maintain the rights in the past.
After the emperor granted the marriage, the steward made inquiries and learned that the second young lady of Tai Tu's Mansion had been frail and sick since she was a child, and had been raised in a boudoir and rarely left the house.
This is the best way for all ladies to figure it out! What the housekeeper wants is to make the princess feel that he is an indispensable steward in the palace. When in charge of the palace, she only needs to nod and agree with his words.
Today, the first day is to give him a slap in the face. After the other party feels that it is difficult to take charge of the house, he will show up and give guidance, asking the other party to hand over the stewardship power to him again.
The housekeeper wants to take advantage of the new princess.
I thought about various possibilities, but I didn't expect the current situation.
Looking at the steward's stiff expression, Jian Yu continued to drink tea to cover up the raised corners of her mouth.
Sometimes the weak person is not completely pitiful. He will take advantage of his weakness to suppress the strong one. For example, this royal housekeeper. No matter what the situation is, as long as there is a conflict between the princess and the steward, she will be the princess who will be the one to spread the news to the outside world. A disgrace, not a slave.
The princess has concerns, but the slave does not.
Jian Yu, who had seen through Xiao Jiujiu's heart, counterattacked directly. She is a slave, why should she bother as the master of the palace? If you want to talk to her, you must first communicate with the dowry brought by the princess!
The nuns brought by Jian Yu have been staying in the back house for most of their lives. They cannot see through the housekeeper's thoughts. The housekeeper wants to use Princess Meng's ideas to deal with the nuns.
It can be said to be useless.
While the nuns were giving instructions, four maids came out of the team and stood behind Jian Yu.
These four should be the first-class maids serving the princess. The stewards standing in the front row noticed at the same time that these four maids had daggers on their waists!
Regardless of whether they have other thoughts or not, all the servants in the palace have to admit that the princess has given them a decisive blow!
Everyone knew in their hearts that this princess was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Mother Lin, the Princess wants you to lead the two of you around the mansion and communicate with the manager if there is anything you find."
Then Hongmei passed on the princess's instructions to the housekeeper, asking him to arrange the dowry for the servants.
"The Princess is very optimistic about the housekeeper's ability. I think there will be no trouble. The Princess is delicate. She should take good care of herself during the day and remember not to make any noise or disturb her."
The housekeeper looked at Hongmei's back with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any disrespect on his face.
Jian Yu should have been happy to have responded to the butler's provocation, but at the moment she looked serious and frowned.
She discovered something that made her feel very bad.
