Chapter 10 Concubine Training

Shen Shiqing, she actually sat with her legs crossed!

Several of Xie Fengan's concubines were shocked by this behavior. They didn't know why the second young lady seemed to be a man, but she was a bit more wild than the second young master Xie.

"Since you have come to my territory, I will tell you some things clearly in advance. Don't wait to have the nerve to complain to me after you have been taught a lesson by me."

Zhao Surui was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he broke the rules as soon as he came up.

"First, this courtyard is too shallow. You crying makes me upset. I will never shed tears again in this village. Anyone who dares to cry again will be thrown into the pond outside.

"Second, I don't care what you have done in the past for jealousy or what grudges you have made. When you come to my place, you will always act according to my rules. If you wipe out everything in the past and cause trouble again, I will not ask whether you are right or wrong. Who did it? The four of you are here to give me a slap in the face."

Cui Jinniang lowered her head, looking submissive, but she couldn't help but want to raise her head. She knew that these words were told to her by Shen Shiqing. Shen Shiqing knew that she was always stirring up trouble among these people. Yuli warned herself that any friction between the four of them in the future would be recorded on her own body.

After Zhao Surui gave a few instructions, he didn't care what Cui Jinniang thought. Others had always guessed his thoughts, and he didn't care what others thought.

"Thirdly, everyone inside and outside this courtyard should be at my disposal. The three maids around me each perform their duties. You just stay here."

"Young madam, I heard that you have locked us up in this village, so what can you give us? When will we go back to the Marquis's residence? When can we see our children?" A sudden voice came out. It was Xia He who was holding a pink handkerchief in her hand and standing with her arms akimbo, looking fearless, "We were all driven here to this village, and I won't talk to you about our superiority or inferiority." , Now even the red silk has been prepared in the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, just waiting for the second master to marry again. Except for Su Yaoer, that foxy girl, we have all been kicked out. Don't pretend to be a grandma in front of me. I After all, I have given birth to a son and a daughter to the second master. I have some hope for my son when he grows up in the future. What about you? If you can find a way to let me see my children, I will naturally obey you. The past conflicts offended me and I kowtow to him a hundred times a day. You apologize, but if you just want to show off your power over us, you are making the wrong move!"

Sitting with his legs crossed, Zhao Surui ate a walnut kernel and smiled:

"When you came here, you were robbed of a lot of things by the women escorting the car, right?"

Xia He was suddenly speechless.

Even the guard dog of the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion knew that Mr. Xie was going to welcome a new person into the house. The future of their concubines was at an end after they were sent out. Along the way, their delicate packages were opened and fought for again and again, and even the clothes on their bodies were lost. Got ripped off.

Xia He has a stronger temper, and her family members are similar. Because Xia He married the second master and gave birth to children, the Xia family always regarded her as half of the family in the family. Naturally, she offended many people. When she lost her position, those women naturally stepped on her and were particularly rude to her when they started to fight for her. Xia He's earlobes were still injured. Her pair of silver pendants were scratched out when someone took them away. of.

At this time, Peifeng and Achi walked in with two little maids carrying several huge burdens.

"Girl, everything found is here."

The bundle fell to the ground, revealing the neatly folded clothes inside.

Peifeng sent a booklet to his girl: "According to the girl's instructions, I have also classified and made a booklet. I have carefully examined the origin of each item. If there are any deficiencies, I can find out who is not telling the truth."

After opening it and taking a casual look, Zhao Surui nodded with satisfaction.

"You have been robbed. I will have people snatch it back for you. The money will be confiscated for the time being. You can take back all the clothes and jewelry. If you stay honest, the money will be returned to you starting from next month."

Who would have thought that the young lady, who was always immersed in painting and never cared about their jealousy or the authority of the inner court, would talk so much about money and jewelry?

Several concubines squatted on the ground and gathered their bodies, stealing glances at "Shen Shiqing", but only saw an extremely cold pair of eyes.

He is no longer gentle and easy to bully like before, but has a compelling aura of those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish.

An Niannian, who had been standing behind Xia He, felt his feet soften and felt a little chill in his heart.

She was born next to the old uncle's wife, and the news she got was more real than others. A few days ago, the uncle's house clearly sent a woman to Zhuangzi to attack the young lady, but the young lady not only took care of her, she also had the entire Zhuangzi in her hands. , where are those women? The women who escorted them here should have returned to Yanjing. Now that their belongings are all here, where have those women from the uncle's house gone?

The hands holding her clothes shook, and she stood sideways, not daring to say a word.

"I can get Xinruan back for you, and naturally I can get other things back as well."

Zhao Surui looked at Xia He, who was quite arrogant just now, and shook his raised feet:

"understand?"

"Yes, young lady." A group of women all had their own thoughts and bowed their heads to "Shen Shiqing."

The concubine who shocked several bystanders found that Zhao Surui's work was not only unpleasant, but also a bit boring. Although this did not delay him, he drank two bowls of astragalus porridge and ate a plate of steamed chicken, a plate of steamed eggs, and a plate of stir-fried radish. There are also three steamed buns with diced pork and cabbage.

But at night, he couldn't sleep.

It's definitely not because Shen Shiqing's belly is being held up by him!

Lying on the bed, the mighty Zhaode Emperor tossed and turned, with the faint sound of someone crying in his mind.

Zhao Surui had only seen twice that a group of women cried together before entering Shen Sanbai's body.

But these two times were not good times.

Once, it was the funeral of his eldest brother, the late prince.

One time was the funeral of his father, the late Emperor Ruizong.

Burying his head in the quilt, Zhao Surui was upset.

It seemed that as soon as I closed my eyes, the sky was overwhelmingly white again, and many people were crying. They cried so hard that the mountains collapsed and the earth split, and the sky and the earth were colorless.

Hearing that his girl had not slept peacefully, Tunan, who was on duty at night, came over:

"Girl, would you like some soothing incense for you?"

Zhao Surui didn't say anything, just hugged the quilt and said "hmm".

There was a smile on Tunan's lips. She was one year older than her daughter. She had always regarded her as a younger sister. After seeing her injured, she became sweeter and more squeamish and willful than before. She only felt distressed. But She is not as articulate as A Chi, so she can only rely on her dexterity to comfort the girl.

With her eyes exposed from the quilt, the maid who watched Shen Shiqing took fragrant pills and put them in the incense burner, then used the charcoal fire in the basin to draw out a ray of fragrance.

"Girl, look!" Tunan turned her hand, and the white porcelain incense burner circled in her hand. The wisp of smoke connected into layers of pale shadows like petals, and gradually dissipated in the In the coolness of an autumn night.

Zhao Surui took a deep breath and asked curiously:

"What is this incense made of?"

"This is the soothing incense you made before, girl, using cinnamon, chrysanthemum, orange peel, clove, sandalwood, and rhubarb."

None of them were valuable, Zhao Surui rolled his eyes in disgust.

While Tunan was speaking, he drew out the smoke with his hand to make the white crane fly high with its wings spread.

Zhao Surui watched intently, and as wisps of sweet and warm but not cloying aroma slowly lingered around him, his head seemed to no longer hurt so much. He turned over and before falling asleep, The last thought in his mind was, "Although Shen Sanfei is useless, the maids he taught are good, and the things he makes... are even better."

It was still dark when he woke up. Zhao Surui stared at the light blue curtain and sighed before sitting up.

When I woke up, I became the little loser of the Shen family who was forced to go to court. This was not a dream after all.

"Girl, some aunts outside are here to say hello to you."

"not see."

Not wanting to carry those trivial pearls and jade on his head, Zhao Surui still let Achi use the white jade and silver hairpin to fix his hair into a simple bun.

Looking at Shen Shiqing's somewhat timid face in the mirror, Zhao Surui turned his eyes away in disgust and waved his hand:

"Tell them to stay back if nothing happens and stop bothering me."

"Yes, girl."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and Tunan walked in carrying a large tray:

"Girl, you said you wanted to eat pork knuckle last night. I made the topping with pork knuckle stewed in sauce. How do you like this noodle?"

Zhao Surui took a look at the sauced meat and several other delicious dishes placed next to the plain noodle bowl, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

After staying with Shen Shiqing for a few days, at least he wouldn't have to be forced by Guanglu Temple to eat those side dishes made of bitter herbs, dandelions, perilla leaves, wild leeks.

The founding king of the Great Yong Dynasty was born in a mud-legged family. In order to prevent future generations from forgetting their roots, he also set many rules for daily life and food. One of them is that for successive emperors, the princes must eat the meals prepared by Guanglu Temple every day, just like the ministers. , some side dishes made from wild vegetables are indispensable in the morning. If you don’t eat them, it won’t be enough. If you don’t eat them, you will be recorded in your daily routine.

I remember when Zhao Surui was named King of Qin at the age of twelve, and moved out of the palace at the age of thirteen, because he was really impatient to eat wild vegetables with his father, the emperor, and his eldest brother, and he never expected to live a good life. In less than four years, there were no more wild vegetables in the palace, and he had to come back to fill in the numbers.

Now, he has avoided it for the time being.

After devouring the noodles covered with a large piece of pork elbow in sauce, Zhao Surui suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth tasted even more delicious when he thought of Shen Sanfei eating wild vegetables in the palace.

Shen Sancai, Shen Sancai, my father-in-law, who takes care of your house slaves and concubines, and also cleans up your lecherous husband and trash, lets you eat some wild vegetables for me, which can be regarded as an advantage for you.

"The two groups of people we sent have been detained by us. Then Ning'an Bo's Mansion should send people over again. Peifeng and Tunan, you two will send a few smart people to guard the main road. Once you see the people and horses, I'll report it right away, and I'll recruit a hundred bankers who can be used at any time. No matter who comes, they will never come back."

"Yes, girl."

Zhao Surui waited for a day and another day, but Ning'an Bo's Mansion didn't send anyone at all.

Just when he was wondering, Mrs. Liu hurriedly came over.

"Little Aqing, your uncle has provoked the wrath of the Holy Spirit and is now in prison!"

Zhao Siri: Come on, come on, come and fight me, see how I deal with you trash!

Shen Shiqing: He is already in jail, so I don’t need you to worry about him.
