After being reminded by Yuwen Lingxi, he had just noticed the daughter in the corner. After all, Yuwenli was a little displeased to see her, so he only asked, "Why are you here?"

"The housekeeper came to invite Xi'er, saying that Erniang fell ill, and the house was in a mess. Let my daughter take care of it." Yuwen Lingxi replied softly, and when she bowed her head, the golden branch and bracelet on her head swayed slightly. The shaking made her originally delicate face look cold.

After all, Yu Wenli didn't say anything to her, and just hurriedly ordered his servants to take out Xu Qian's eating utensils for inspection today. Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Yuwen Lingxi just wanted to leave, but was suddenly called out. Call to live.

Yu Wenli lowered his eyes and said: "Now there is no one in charge in the mansion. You will come back, and you can stay with the county king for a few more days and help your second mother."

Yuwen Lingxi said in a soft voice: "Now my daughter is married to someone else, and she is married to her husband. After a while, people will go back and ask the county king what he means, and then report back to father."

Seeing her consent, Yu Wenli breathed a sigh of relief, Yiyi said: "You have been able to do things since you were a child, I am at ease with you."

Stepping into the outer room, Yuwen Lingxi suddenly turned her head to Cuizhu who was following behind and said softly: "You used to serve Erniang, but now that Yulou is short of manpower, you will stay and take care of my princess."

After saying that, Su Yun stuffed a bag of things into Cui Zhu's hands calmly, she was slightly dumb, and then she knelt down and blessed, "Yes, I obey."

On the way back, Yuwen Lingxi couldn't help laughing secretly, since Xu Qian was going to play, she might as well let her do a full set, she muttered in a low voice: "What rare thing did you prepare for her just now?"

As the saying goes: "The servant girl saw that the second aunt liked this medicine powder so much, so she found some cashmere seeds and pounded it into powder, and then mixed it with some grass to pour it in."

Yuwen Lingxi smiled faintly: "I'm afraid this kind of dosage will last three days and three nights. Now that I am in charge of the mansion, you will send Mrs. Gu who is next to that bitch later. Cuizhu said it was her own decision." Pushing Xu Qian to come up with such a bad idea, this person is really itchy and cannot be cured."

Su Yun's eyes rolled, and he said crisply: "Pavilion master, how should the county king hand over?"

"Tell me the truth." Yuwen Lingxi stroked her slightly wrinkled wide sleeves, and then continued: "Do you think he knows nothing? Lu Zhaohe sees things clearly, but rarely gets involved. Just like in the government, Even if the atmosphere is so smoky, if Lu Zhang doesn't move, he will be careful not to reveal it."

Entering the main hall, I saw a servant girl collecting tea on the table. Yuwen Lingxi smelled the fragrance and knew the tea, and immediately asked, "Did someone come to the mansion just now?"

I saw the servant girl bowed her head and replied respectfully: "Return to the words of the princess, never."

Su Yun pointed, "Then who used the leftover tea on this table?"

"It was picked up by the housekeeper and all the women in the courts when they were discussing matters."

Yuwen Lingxi smiled slightly, "Er Niang is such a big hand, this Huangshan Maofeng only produces a dozen catties a year, and most of them go into the palace, and the prime minister's mansion only gets a little bit, but now it's all in the stomach of the servants." There is no distinction between superior and inferior, and the bad atmosphere in the mansion is even worse." There was something in her words, but now her face looked warm, but her mouth was cold.After saying that, Yuwen Lingxi stretched out her hand to caress the jade bracelet on her wrist. The emerald green texture looked extremely cool in summer, as if it had been covered with a layer of winter frost.

Just as he was talking, a person came in from outside the door. Yuwen Lingxi looked familiar. Seeing that the old lady had already walked up to her, she bent slightly and saluted: "This old slave knocks on the princess."

"Which courtyard are you from?"

"Returning to the princess, the old slave is the wife in charge of Tingyu Tower, and she usually helps the wife with the affairs of the mansion."

Yuwen Lingxi was startled, and suddenly smiled and said: "How can I say that this princess looks so familiar? Before your mother passed away, did you go to listen to Fengge's reply every day at a quarter of noon?"

Seeing that Yuwen Lingxi remembered her, the woman was even more proud, and she spoke a little more self-confidently: "The princess has a very good memory. The old slave has always assisted the ladies in mediating matters in the house. It used to be the same, and it is still the same now. .”

Yuwen Lingxi turned her beautiful eyes, and asked with a smile: "So the idea of ​​Huangshan Maofeng rewarding the servants is also yours, right?"

When she was young, she always heard from her serving mother-in-law that her mother loved drinking tea, but she didn't like the taste of too much sweetness and bitterness.This Huangshan Maofeng grows on the top of the mountain, and it is only found on the mountains in Anqing and Huizhou.At that time, they were newlyweds. Seeing that his wife liked to drink, Yu Wenli made an appointment with a local tea farmer, and every year when the harvest was harvested, he would find a few catties and send them to the prime minister's house.

After so many years, the rules have not been broken, but after all, such a good tea is belittled.

For a moment, Mrs. Gu couldn't guess the meaning of Yuwen Lingxi's words, so she just said politely: "Madam said it was a musty smell sent by Huangshan Maofeng over the years. It is really not suitable for entertaining guests, so I rewarded these servants to drink it." .”

"Erniang can live a good life." Yuwen Lingxi picked up the teacup, gently brushed the water foam on it, took a sip and said with a smile: "Huangshan Maofeng is different from other teas. It is only harvested in autumn, when it is rainy , it needs to be put in a kiln and then dried on a high fire before it can be used. Erniang has never understood these things, so you don’t know how to mention them. If you let outsiders know, not to mention that your father is extravagant and wasteful, but you will also say that Erniang is knowledgeable Short and shallow, now that I think about it, it's your fault."

When Mrs. Gu saw what she said, she couldn't find anything to refute. In fact, there were so many twists and turns.It's just that Yu Wenli has continued to pay tribute to the tea farmers all these years, and Xu Qian only thinks that he misses the old man, and it feels uncomfortable to watch, so it's all out of sight.

She replied with a sneer: "Madam always has her own ideas. As a servant, I really don't have much to say."

Su Yun took a look at Yuwen Lingxi, and rebuked in a trembling voice: "Bold slave! Now the princess is in charge in the mansion, and since ancient times there has been a distinction between concubines and concubines. Even the wife has to sell the princess for three points. In this way, it must be that the master has not been taken seriously, it is a real arrogance!"

Mrs. Gu smiled contemptuously, "You are just a cleaning maid next to the princess. Talking so loudly in the prime minister's mansion, soliciting gossip, seems to take yourself seriously. Now that the old slave is talking back to the princess, it is definitely not for you to intervene here .”

Su Yun was tongue-tied for a moment, and was about to distinguish again, when suddenly Yuwen Lingxi interrupted, "Grandma Gu is so arrogant, she keeps saying that she respects Erniang, but now she is so domineering outside, those who don't know think it is Erniang Instructing you to be so harsh on this princess. Originally, I respected your seniority and wanted to ask for a change to the regulations, but now it seems that it is impossible to not punish."
