When Princess An Ning was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the mansion, searching for witchcraft and poison, a strange visitor came to the clan mansion.
The Zongren Mansion specializes in managing the royal family members, starting from the birth of a baby and the creation of jade certificates, to which tomb should be buried after death, during this period there are many matters such as marriage, family division, honors, honors, sacrifices, and even the misbehavior of the clan and the clan's children.
The punishments are all the responsibility of the clan government.
As the end of the year is approaching, the Zongren Mansion is preparing to close its doors like many other yamen and go home to celebrate the New Year with the wife and children enjoying the hot bed.
It happened that on the last day of the Feng Mansion, suddenly a middle-aged woman in palace attire came over, with a tangled look on her face, and stood at the door for a long time without saying a word.
Fu Cheng, who was on duty, had just made a pot of hot tea, added the last few pieces of silver frost charcoal in the charcoal basin, and was picking up a piece of Wuweizhai's signature snack mung bean cake, preparing to spend this time happily.
On my last leisurely working day, I saw someone coming to my door.
"The government will be sealed today," the Fu Cheng said unhappily: "If you want to advance money, it is absolutely impossible to ask for it.
Doesn't every family receive a piece of cloth and a bucket of rice?
If there is a family dispute, it cannot be resolved today."
The royal family, especially the royal family that has been inherited for many years, can almost be said to be the largest family.
Each member of the clan is more prolific than the other, and after all, they don’t have to worry about supporting themselves.
Gradually, many branches developed.
Of course, royal clans are also divided into distant and near clans, but as long as they are clan members, they can receive silver rice from the clan mansion on a monthly basis, and during holidays, there are also benefits.
We can't let the clan members still suffer from cold and hunger.
Money has been distributed for a long time.
People who come to the clan mansion near the end of the year are those who are extremely poor or in debt.
They have a hard time during the new year, so they come to beg for an advance payment of their share after the new year.
Another common situation is that there are often illegitimate children from outside the family, taking advantage of this festive day to come to the door, trying to get a serious status, and it is really common to succeed in this way.
No matter how unsuccessful it is, it will disgust others.
Everyone is having a bad New Year.
So as soon as the Fu Cheng opened his mouth, he sealed these two things first, hoping that the woman would know the difficulty and retreat as soon as possible so that he could enjoy the hot tea and delicious snacks.
It's a pity that the woman didn't seem to understand, and actually walked in slowly and stood in front of the Fu Cheng's table.
"Okay, okay," Fu Cheng reluctantly moved the teapot and took the registration book, "Let me tell you where you are from and what you are going to do first.
Even if you register today, you will still have to wait until the end of the year.
Only later did we have people to take care of things.”
The last working day is also a working day, so there is no excuse for not working.
In a place like the clan's mansion, there are almost no ordinary people who come to hang out, not to mention that this woman is wearing palace clothes, which is usually only found in the clan's mansion of the nearby clan.
"My surname is Song, and I'm from the palace."
After entering the clan's mansion, Grandma Song's tangled look gradually disappeared.
"In the palace."
The Fu Cheng stopped the pen in his hand and said suspiciously: "You must be looking for the clan government and not the internal affairs office."
"Yes."
Grandma Song's voice was low and steady.
She suddenly reached into her sleeve and took out a bamboo tube: "Please take a look at this first."
Fu Cheng opened the bamboo tube and found that the bamboo tube was obviously for protection to prevent the contents inside from being damaged.
After taking out the things and looking at them carefully, Fu Cheng's mouth couldn't help but open wider and wider, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Experienced adults, experienced adults" The person who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion is Zong Ling.
Zong Ling is either a prince or a county prince.
Today's Zong Ling is Prince Min.
Of course, he does not need to sit in a government office.
From Lord Zong Ling on down, there are sect members, one for the left sect and one for the right sect.
They are also held by prince-level figures, who do not appear very often.
It is the experience department that really handles daily affairs.
Hearing that Fu Cheng escalated the matter so quickly and called for reinforcements, Song Aima suddenly felt more confident.
Xia Xiaodong fell in love with Lu Yunzhi, so he went to the old lady's yard to eat dinner with the old lady every day.

Although it's a little uncomfortable to eat without speaking, and the slow pace makes people a little anxious, but as long as you are used to such an occasion and regard it as a kind of adjustment, it is not bad.
Mainly, it's very face-saving.
After spending more time with the Lu family, Xia Xiaodong has understood many hidden rules.
Many things are not put on the table and written down in black and white.
For example, there are actually many girls in the Lu family, but it is a sign of respectability for those who can come to the old lady, whether it is chatting with her or having a meal together and taking a walk.
The attitude of the old lady represents whether she likes a certain girl or not, and also represents whether she approves of a certain head of the house.
Moreover, the old lady can also represent the old lady to a certain extent.
Although the old man has several concubines, he still has a tacit understanding with his wife.
At least he always fully respects and affirms the old lady's right to speak in the affairs of the house, and never interferes in the affairs of the house at will.
Although this is the traditional model of men taking charge of the outside and women taking charge of the house, in fact, there are always inextricable connections between the inside and outside.
How can they be clearly distinguished?
Take the matter of New Year's gifts as an example.
Of course the old lady should be in charge of the exchange of favors and gifts, but don't we need to discuss with the old lady what should be sent to the palace?
As for external matters, for example, the Lu family has quite a few places for their children to be appointed officials.
Of course, it is an official position with a nice name but no real power.
It is the kind where you get a free salary and don't have to work.
Doesn’t the old man need to discuss with the old lady whether these quotas will be given to whom?
The status of the old lady can be imagined.
Therefore, competing to express filial piety is a routine drama performed in front of the old lady.
Xia Xiaodong had only been here two days and already saw many novel things.
For example, there are exotic flowers and plants from foreign countries, flowers blooming in the winter, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The entire scroll of Buddhist scriptures is copied by hand, and every word is perfect.
Handmade forehead wipes, clothes, shoes, etc., are even more numerous.
The renovation is breathtaking.
Lu Yunzhi also prepared a double-sided embroidery of a cat for the old lady and asked the maid to hold it while he and Xia Xiaodong went to the old lady.
Along the way, Xia Xiaodong was thinking whether he should give Mrs.
Lu some gifts to show her closeness.
Although the gift was fully recognized, it was for the Lu family after all.
Judging from what I saw in the past two days, there should be some purely personal gifts in line with the favor I received.
Yes, in the eyes of many people, Xia Xiaodong was indeed a very special and favored person.
There has never been a girl from outside with such dignity before, not even a cousin girl who is related to her.
Even if you use Lu Yunzhi's reputation as an explanation, it doesn't make sense, because there are still quite a few ladies who have contacts with Lu Yunzhi, and some of them have stayed in the mansion
