The vermilion lacquer gate of the Bei'an Palace's palace is closed, and occasionally passers-by pass by, they will stop and take a look, and some courtiers deliberately detour, just to see the tightly closed gate with their own eyes.
After Cheng Mo returned home from the Xuanshu Palace, he closed the door to thank guests, and Huo Shuhan and other daughters no longer interacted with the ladies of the Emperor in addition to returning to their parents' homes.
The Bei'an Mansion disappeared from the sight of the government and the opposition, and Cheng Mo was a young man, and the deeds of the extremely popular ministers were only circulated among the people.
Those old ministers who were jealous of Cheng Mo gradually reassured.
Cheng Mo took his family to the Grange on the outskirts of Beijing, and lived for more than two months, until Huo Shuhan's delivery date was approaching, and he returned home with his family.
The first snow of early winter had already fallen, and the trees along the road had lost all their leaves, leaving only bare branches.
Su Miaohua's stomach bulged slightly, lifted the curtain of the car, looked out of the car, and said to Cheng Mo in the car: "This is the New Year."
Since she became pregnant, she has felt new about everything, even if she is used to seeing things that she is accustomed to, she can make high-profile comments.
While at the Grange, she once looked at a woad tree for a long time and came to the conclusion: "The leaves are white." ” As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yufei, Xue Qing and other maidservants next to them fell down.
The woad tree is the modern cabbage, in the Wu Dynasty, it is the most common vegetable, from the powerful to the poor, who does not eat her from the snack to the big, but until this time did not find that the woad tree is white Cheng Mo learned that a sip of tea spewed out far away, and he couldn't laugh. was laughed at by the whole family, Su Miaohua's old god was there, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all, she was still the same.
Now, she didn't know what she found, Cheng Mo raised her eyes to look at her and said, "Hmm" Su Miaohua said very seriously: "You can eat rice cakes during the New Year." ” Xu Wan also diagnosed the happy pulse, she was still young, and she was lying on Cheng Mo's lap at this time, and when she heard this, she smiled and said: "The rice cake is also white." ” knew that the two pregnant women would talk nonsense that was not nutritious, and Cheng Mo was no longer surprised.
The car entered the mansion in the family talk, and Puxiang took the maidservants of the mansion to greet him at the gate of the mansion, and said with a smile: "Ah Lang, you can come back, these days, many people have sent a greeting sticker to ask for a sticker," Cheng Mo closed his door, ignored political affairs, and went to the suburban grange for a vacation, but his status was there, and there were still many courtiers who came to ask to see him and hand over the stickers.
Higher-ranking courtiers will also send someone to say when they have things such as marriage, promotion, funeral, etc.
Worship Puxiang stayed, and people came and went, and Puxiang sent people to give gifts as usual.
Cheng Mo nodded, turned around and helped Huo Shuhan back to the courtyard.
Huo Shuhan has a big belly and is inconvenient to move, but she does not change her usual calmness, but her face is slightly plump, and she looks more and more graceful and luxurious, which makes people dare not force her to look.
After a day of rest, Huo Shuhan asked the account room to bring over the account book of human relations, read it carefully, was very satisfied, and boasted: "Steward Pu is getting better and better at doing things." ” Puxiang has changed from a down-and-out commoner to the big housekeeper of the Bei'an Palace, and the things he handles every day are not indispensable.
He has grown very fast, from being at a loss at the beginning to now being proficient and organized, which is really not easy.
After receiving the praise of the hostess, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed, and he felt that the hard work of the past two months had not been in vain, and his face inevitably showed a look of pride, and he said with a hunch: "The little one is fortunate not to be dishonored."
As long as you don't fall into the name of Bei'an Palace, you are willing to work hard. ” It's easy to deal with the worship stickers, this kind of human exchange, there is more knowledge, some people are not high-level, but they are very important, some people are Cheng Mo's friends in distress, these people, the etiquette has to be heavier; Some people are in high positions, but they have lost their imperial heart, and it is a matter of time before they are demoted and leave the court, and some people are Cheng Mo's political enemies, or they don't have to give gifts, or they just give gifts to suit the occasion.
The relationship is different, and the situation is also ever-changing.
No one knew that Puxiang had taken great pains to give this gift properly.
"That's right."
Huo Shuhan said: "The courtyard of the two entrances, you pick one and go to the account to pay the silver and buy it." ” This is to reward him.
He is already the chief steward of the Bei'an Palace, and he is considered the top of the slaves in the palace.
Puxiang said: "Princess Xie." ” He didn't say anything polite to Huo Shuhan.
Cheng Mo is rich, and Huo Shuhan has a lot of dowries, just a two-entry courtyard, which is really nothing in terms of their wealth.
Cheng Mo persuaded Huo Shuhan: "You are about to give birth, leave the housework to Yu Fei, don't be tired." ” Huo Shuhan smiled: "Exactly, didn't I send someone to invite Yu Fei over?"
While talking, Zhao Yufei came, and when she heard that she was going to be asked to preside over the affairs for two months, she shook her head again and again, and said: "Now there are a large number of people in the house, but there are not so many people at the beginning, I am afraid that it will not be handled well." ” The daughters of large families, since childhood, have been taught by their mothers hand-in-hand, how to recognize people, how to look at accounts, how to manage the family's property, to get married, and have a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law to take them, and when they become mothers-in-law and take charge of the family business, they have been able to handle all kinds of affairs very skillfully.
Huo Shuhan has also been taught by Huo Xian since she was a child, and later Huo Xian trained her as a queen, she didn't hide her at all, she taught Huo Shuhan the bottom of the box, plus Huo Shuhan is smart and knows how to be flexible, so that the affairs of the Bei'an Mansion can be arranged in an orderly manner, and the sisters are unanimously convinced.
Zhao Yufei did not have such conditions, and when she took care of the affairs of the Cheng Mansion, she was just in charge of a few slaves, socializing, and contacting, which is not the same as now.
Let her take care of it now, she can't take care of it.
Huo Shuhan said: "It's okay, there is a general housekeeper to help you, if you can't make up your mind, come and ask me again." ” Looking at her round belly, Zhao Yufei hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.
Isn't it possible to let her worry about housework during confinement?
These days, when Puxiang encounters something that is really difficult to decide, he will also rush to the grange to ask Huo Shuhan, but he is very careful, or bring the roster of the treasury with him, or draw up a gift list, and ask Huo Shuhan to show it.
In this way, Huo Shuhan can understand what is in the warehouse without opening the warehouse.
He is also worried that Huo Shuhan's delivery is approaching, I am afraid that he will not be able to preside over the affairs of the house, the confinement of women is very important, it is difficult to let the housewife worry about the confinement in the confinement, he is not good to ask for instructions as before, I don't know what to do, I am very happy to hear that Zhao Yufei is the agent.
In the blink of an eye, in November, that night, Huo Shuhan had a seizure, but fortunately, the four most experienced midwives in the capital were invited to wait in the house in advance.
The maidservants went in and out from the delivery room, Zhao Yufei and the others were busy accompanying them in the delivery room, Cheng Mo wanted to enter the delivery room, but was kicked out, and sat alone on the cold stone bench in the courtyard with a cold and boring person.
Jiajia and Qingqing ran over, one climbing on his legs and the other around his neck.
It's still a daughter's intimacy, it's really a little padded jacket.
Cheng Mo sighed. t1706231537:
