Chapter 93 Shining Starlight
Li Xiaoyao did not need Su Zicheng to let him go. He sat freely under Shuiyan and looked at Shuiyan and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years. Master Shui's temperament has become more and more calm and excellent." Shuiyan quickly turned his head and said politely, "Where are you? The fifth master is flattered! I'm flattered!"
"The journey has been set off at two quarters, and the arrangements for the suburbs have been arranged?" Su Zicheng interrupted the greeting of the two and looked at Shuiyan and asked. Shuiyan hurriedly stood up and bowed: "What I remind you is that there are still a few places to look at and leave." Shuiyan took two steps back and was about to leave the house. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up: "It's time to leave at two quarters?! Then I have to go back to pack my things quickly and say goodbye.
"What are you packing for? What are those maids for? Su Zicheng blocked Li Xiaoyao's words, and Li Xiaoyao had to stop with a smile and watched Su Zicheng turn his head: "I'm about to tell you about this girl. First, there are too many things, and second, it's so good. I can't afford it. Just leave a little girl. I'd better give it to you. Those girl are better dressed than me. One A third-class girl's monthly money costs one tael of silver. I really can't afford it.
Su Zicheng stood up and walked to Li Xiaoyao. He looked down at Li Xiaoyao with his worried face behind his back. He was silent for a moment and his voice softened a lot: "These little girlies are reliable and useful. Don't worry about using them first. If you are not satisfied, you can choose it yourself when you return to Kaiping Mansion. As usual, the first-class girl around you serve. No matter how few it is, there can't be more than eight. These are not enough to wrong you. Su Zicheng said and stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xiaoyao's sleeve: "You follow me, whether you wear men's clothing or not. It's the same with you. I entered the city in the afternoon. After a while, I will send you to live in the eldest brother's house for a few days. You follow your sister-in-law to learn some rules and etiquette. Kaiping Mansion has the customs of Kaiping Mansion."
Li Xiaoyao seemed to have crossed a gorgeous comet in his heart, cutting through his heart, leaving countless joys and joys. No matter what happens in the future, his arrangement will make her feel countless joys in her heart. He has enough respect and attention to her, which is enough. She is too far away from this world. What she wants, No one can give it, and she doesn't have to think about it any more. It's the most important thing for him to take a serious look at her. Li Xiaoyao lowered his head and finally agreed.
"We will leave soon. Go back and get ready." Su Zicheng's gentle voice fell from the top of his head. Li Xiaoyao lowered his head again and hurriedly arched his hand to say goodbye. He wanted to give a blessing. It was not appropriate to think about it. After a moment of embarrassment, he simply turned around and hurried out of the door. Su Zicheng looked helplessly at Li Xiaoyao who threw his hand and sighed for a long time.
Li Xiaoyao leaned lazily in the car and didn't have much distance from Pingfu. Her car walked behind her, and the guards in front of her raised banners, surrounded Su Zicheng, and marched neatly to Kaipingfu. The car followed the team and walked slowly, and the car was not so bumpy. Li Xiaoyi raised the curtain and looked outside through the yarn. After a long time, I put down the curtain, turned my head and looked at the wisteria kneeling in the corner of the carriage, and motioned to her with a smile: "It's still early to get to Kaiping Mansion. Don't be so formal. Let's talk. There's nothing to do on the way. It's strangely stuffy."
"Yes!" Wisteria relaxed a little and agreed with a smile. Li Xiaoyao handed her a cushion: "You bend like this, and your legs will be numb for a while. Well, put it in the back, just like me."
"Thank you." Wisteria took the mat, hesitated for a moment, put it behind him, loosened his legs slightly, and looked much more relaxed. Li Xiaoyao motioned her to pour a cup of tea and handed it to herself, casually said, "What's your last name? Where is your hometown?"
"In the girl's words, her surname is Song, and her hometown is also from Kaiping Mansion. The slaves and maidservants are children of the family. Their parents and ancestors are all slaves of the Su family." Wisteria explained one more sentence, and Li Xiaoyao secretly praised that he was really a good man. He should be cautious about this.
"What about the light moon? Same as you?"
"To the girl's words, Danyue is also a family son, and those who can enter the palace as a maid are all family children." Wisteria explained with a smile, and Li Xiaoyao was surprised and curious: "Inner house? How to divide the inside and outside the royal palace? Well, let's chat. Don't always reply to girls, maidservants and so on.
"Well, well, it's the same way as other families. Inside the second door is the inner house, and outside the second door is the outer courtyard."
"Are there more waiters in the inner house or in the outer courtyard?"
"This, maidservant•••••I really don't know."
"You used to be in Qiwang's mansion. Who will take care of you?"
"Sister Su Ye is the girl in charge of the study outside the royal palace. We all listen to her."
"What about Su Ye? Who do you listen to?
"Listen to my master, several study rooms and warehouses are all under the control of my uncle, and the rest are under the control of Sister Ruyue. Anyway, my master is not here, and there is no one in the house. In fact, there is nothing wrong." Wisteria answered ten questions, but Li Xiaoyao was stunned and didn't understand: "What does it mean that there is no one? Aren't you human?"
"No! Look at what the girl said!" Wisteria covered its mouth and smiled: "If the master is not here, there will be no serious master in the house, and the servants are servants."
"No serious master? So there are a few less serious masters?" Li Xiaoyao also smiled with wisteria. Wisteria reached out and took the cup in Li Xiaoyao's hand: "Masters are all serious! If the master is not here, there is actually no master in the house, but there are also Mother Fei, Sister Ruyue and Sister Shuying.
"Who is Shuying? Where's Mother Fei?
"Sueying is also the big girl beside me, as well as Sister Taoye. Mother Fei is my mother's wet nurse. Now she is the teaching mother in the house, specializing in our rules."
Li Xiaoyao spit out his tongue: "That M Mother Fei must be very fierce!"
"Mama Fei is the dowry girl of the first filial queen, and even the master respects her. M mother is stricter, but she never wrongs good people. She is the most fair."
"What about the Ning Palace? I heard that King Ning has only one daughter?
"Well, I'm nine years old this year, and I've been sealed as Princess Ning'an for a long time."
"Is the princess good-looking? Do you have a good temper?"
"I've seen it two or three times in the distance, bright, beautiful, and not very good-tempered." Wisteria vaguely did not want to say more. Li Xiaoyao gave a 'oh' and looked at the faint trace of disgust that came out of Wisteria's dilemma. This princess, I'm afraid this temper is quite unusual, but that's true. This third generation of the royal family is only one, naturally has a bigger temper.
"I heard that the rules of Kaiping Mansion are much worse than that of Taiping Mansion. Your mansion and Ningwang Mansion seem to be very luxurious. There are so many girls!" Li Xiaoyao sighed, and Wisteria smiled and said, "It's not a luxury in our house. There are only two little girls in our house, that is, Mother Fei, and there are only two little girls. There are not many women in Ning's house. There are only eight big girls around the princess. There are more people around the princess, but the princess is still small, and... It's common sense that there are more women. I haven't been to Taiping Mansion, but the clothes and jewelry from Taiping Mansion are more luxurious than ours.
Li Xiaoyao's heart flew a little cheerful and jumping starlight, and her smile bloomed like a flower. She smiled like a wisteria, and her mood also became cheerful and relaxed. She couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "The girl looks so beautiful!" Li Xiaoyao was in a good mood, stretched out his hand, and lightly flicked the forehead of the wisteria: "That's because the girl is in a good mood!"
He really took her seriously! There are only eight around the princess, that is to say, Princess Ning could have had a few more big maids, but no matter how many she could have, now, there are only eight around her. That is to say, even if the people in Su Zicheng's mansion marry a new princess in the future, they are not better than those around the current Princess Ning. This is Su Zicheng's brother and sister-in-law. Respect, in her current situation, such a place, all she can win is respect.
In front of the team, it had met the officers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Ceremonies. After stopping for a while, the car slowly started again and continued to move forward. Li Xiaoyao moved back and looked through the window behind the big brother and Brother Shuisheng riding on the horse, as well as those big cars and small cars that were about to enter Kaiping Mansion. Big brother and others put everyone together, which is not sloppy.
Entering the city, Nanning led Shuiyan over. First, he went to Li Xiaoyao's car and spread Su Zicheng's words with a smile: "The master said that the second master of Shui should be the head of the assembly of the people in Bijia Mountain." Li Xiaoyao quickly straightened up and bowed solemnly and thanked, "Thank you, my lord! I'm sorry to bother you."
"Where! A few days ago, I took my grandfather's letter and was ready to go down a house. Or, let's go to see the house first. If the prince doesn't think it's good, let's choose another one. Shuiyan's words were extremely polite. Nanning took half a step back and said goodbye. Li Xiaoyao watched him go far away, then turned his head and looked at Shuiyan and said with a smile, "The house that Second Master Shui can like must not be bad. This house is a small matter. We brothers are all honest farmers. Only with fields and work can we feel at ease. ."
"The fifth master is relieved and ready to go. I have a village. He is seven or eight miles away from the west gate of Kaiping Mansion, which is a rare fertile place in Kaiping Mansion. Today, he will settle down first. If the fifth master is not tired, he can take them to see the house tomorrow." Shuiyan replied cheerfully, and Li Xiaoyao smiled and bent his eyes: "Then tomorrow, settle them down, and then my eldest brother and I will have the heart to pay attention to other things."
"That's it!" Shuiyan responded with a smile and got on the horse, leading everyone away from Su Zicheng's motorcade and crossing the alley along the spacious street.
Li Xiaoyao looked carefully at both sides of the street. The land in Beiping was sparsely populated. The houses in Kaipingfu Street were also very spacious. After a few streets, the street was wide enough to walk down two or three large cars like his own side by side. The shops and houses on the street were not as wide as the Taiping Mansion, and the walls looked much thicker. On the road There are not many cars coming and going, and there are almost no luxury cars commonly seen on the streets of Taipingfu. There are many people riding horses and accompanying their attendants. It seems that this Kaiping Mansion is more popular to ride horses than cars.
On both sides of the street, pedestrians are bustling, and the business of the store seems to be good. The car turned a corner and suddenly became quiet around. There were high walls on both sides of the road, and the thick crowns in the wall could be seen a little farther away. There were only two or three Zhumen on this long street. In front of the door were seven or eight porters in brocade hats, looking curiously and arrogantly at the messy convoy, and the car passed through The street turned into a narrow alley, walked through a shot, and stopped in front of a three-open gate.
