Xie Jue was so busy that she finally returned to the capital two days before New Year's Eve. Although Xie Jue was not in the palace, Mingzhu was the eldest daughter. Although she was not as old as hairpin, she was already a princess who could stand alone. Half a month before New Year's Eve, she left the Imperial College After class, he went back to the palace to deal with the palace's favors.

Xie Jue is the only prince in the Beining Dynasty. He has a distinguished status. Even if he is not in the capital, officials, subordinates, family friends, and annual gifts will be sent to him. Xie Jue will handle it when he is in the capital. He was reluctant to deal with these trivial matters, so he left them to the housekeeper. The housekeeper was an old man from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He had served the Xie family for generations and was very aware of the Xie family's human relations. Xie Jue was left to the housekeeper to handle.

But in fact, if such a large palace is left to a housekeeper to take charge of the middle class, people will often criticize it. Some people say that it is not good for the family's interactions, whether it is a minor or serious problem. Therefore, all the big families need a woman to take charge of the middle class. Men are not good at these things. Now that Mingzhu is known to be polite and sensible, Feng Yu tried to let her take charge of the house and sent a maid to follow Mingzhu back to the palace. She was afraid that When the master is absent, the slave will bully the master.

Mingzhu started to deal with favors seriously half a month ago. She learned from each family what gifts they gave and what gifts they should give in return. In fact, there is a gift list every year. As long as you follow the gift list, you will not make mistakes. But the relationship between people is different every year, and the importance can also be seen from the etiquette. When Mingzhu first started working on it, he was looked down upon by the servants in the mansion and deliberately made things difficult for him. This cannot be blamed on the slaves in the palace who bullied their masters. These slaves were all loyal servants. After the disaster in the palace, their lives were not easy and they were sold and liquidated. Therefore, Xie Jue's rules were not so strict.

There are too few serious masters in the palace, and there are few people and few things to do. They all live a very comfortable life, and there is naturally a lot of money. The weight of a housekeeper's words in the palace is more effective than that of many officials, so naturally there are bribes. Xie Jueruo When he was not at home, Xie Xun was busy with everything and could not take care of so many things unless someone complained to the emperor.

Xie Jue has been out a lot in the past two years and has been away from the capital all year round. The rules have been broken even more. They don't want to be controlled by a little girl, even if the little girl has a noble status and is the eldest daughter of the family. Moreover, the servants in the mansion also have a strong point in their hearts. They all recognize Ruyi because Ruyi looks so much like Xie Jue. At first glance, he is the son of Xie Jue, but Mingzhu is different. He has a face with deep and overly bright outlines, which is obviously the blood of a Northern Barbarian woman. They don't respect Mingzhu as much as Ruyi, and they will discuss privately whether Mingzhu is the prince's biological son. If Mingzhu is in charge of the middle minister, they will lose control. There is no master in the mansion, and some old slaves can claim to be half masters. Therefore, he always embarrasses Mingzhu, hoping that she will retreat and return to the palace to be a pampered princess and not get involved in the affairs of the palace.

Mingzhu is a steady and bright girl, with a straightforward temperament, she doesn't flinch or ask for help from Feng Yu. She is familiar with Feng Yu and understands a truth. If you are tough, others will respect you. If you When someone makes things difficult for her, she seeks help. She is weak and can be bullied, and this is not the only time she has deceived her master. Mingzhu also knew that sooner or later, there would be a woman in charge of the palace. If her father didn't get married, she would be in charge. She couldn't hand over the power of the housekeeper to a slave. Feng Yu asked her to take over in order to train her. She relied on herself and these powerful people. The servants battled wits and courage, and narrowly won. Feng Yu couldn't bear it and sent a maid down, mainly to teach Mingzhu how to deal with the trivial matters in the house.

Therefore, when Xie Jue returned to the palace, it was in an orderly manner. Mingzhu had also handled all the interpersonal relationships in the palace and sent out all kinds of etiquette. She was afraid that she would not do well, so she gave the gift list to Xie Jue for review.

Xie Jue had mixed feelings in his heart. He never expected that Mingzhu could handle such trivial matters in the house at such a young age. Moreover, it was such an important festival at the end of the year. Looking at Mingzhu’s sparkling eyes waiting for praise, Xie Jue was not stingy with himself. Praise, "Well done, more perfect than dad imagined."

Mingzhu seemed even happier after receiving the praise and couldn't wait to describe her achievements in the past half month. Xie Jue also listened patiently. He couldn't help but reflect. In the past six months, he had been running around for Fang Chuning's affairs. He really didn't care much about things, and it was his fault that Mingzhu got hurt.

A child as big as Mingzhu shouldn't have to suffer like this.

Who knows that Mingzhu seemed to see through Xie Jue's guilt, "Father, my daughter is very happy and likes to do these things. It is not hard at all. Can my daughter continue to take care of everything in the house in the future? I am confident that I can do a good job."

"Why do you like to do these things?" Xie Jue asked.

Xie Jue's impression of women is relatively poor, and can be said to be relatively stereotyped. Back then, his mother and two aunts did not like New Year's Day, and there were a lot of favors during the holidays. Whose gifts were too heavy, and whose gifts were too heavy. It's too light. I have to think about what to return to the Li family and what to return to the Zhou family for a long time every time. There are many subordinates who need to be more careful and considerate. If a subordinate dies in battle, the etiquette this year will be thicker and condolences will be given. If the subordinate is promoted, the etiquette will be even heavier than in previous years. If the subordinate makes a mistake and is alienated from the Hou Mansion, he will not be included in the list this year.

These are very trivial and complicated interpersonal relationships that these grown men never care about, but they often hear complaints from their wives.

Feng Yu didn't like to care about these things, and let Chun Lu make the decision in private. She could hide and be clean if she could. In his impression, no woman liked such trivial and troublesome things, and would occasionally offend others.

Mingzhu said with a smile, "My daughter gained the honorable position because of her father. She was honored as a princess and enjoyed the worship of the world. She got rid of the days of being looked down upon by others and being ignored. She lived a life of fine clothes and fine food beside her father, aunt, and younger brother. She was happy but never What I have done for you and my aunt makes me feel guilty and uneasy. Mingzhu knows that her father is busy and things in the palace are trivial and troublesome. If she leaves it to the housekeeper, people will laugh at her for not following the palace's etiquette. If she doesn't care about it, she is afraid that others will say that the palace's etiquette is not considerate enough. Auntie It is said that favors need to be managed and maintained. If there is long-term estrangement and weak favors, it will not be good for the palace. The daughter is weak and cannot relieve her father's worries about government affairs, nor can she comfort her father's pain of losing friends. The daughter is willing to do these small things for her. And deal with these things. , the daughter also feels that she has a useful role, and is no longer a mouse in a rice vat, only eating but not doing anything, so she feels happy. If the daughter does well, she also hopes that the father can let the daughter take charge of the feeding. If there is something wrong, Okay, the father can give more guidance, and the daughter can be kind."

Xie Jue never thought that he would hear Mingzhu's words. He also knew that his care for Mingzhu was far less than that of Ruyi. He gave Mingzhu the honorary position, but he never gave Mingzhu the same love as Ruyi. Mingzhu was not very close to him on weekdays. , he thought Mingzhu preferred living in the palace and didn't want to be around him, but he didn't expect that the little girl actually regarded him as her father and herself as a member of the palace.

After a long journey back to Beijing, Xie Jue, who had been exhausted physically and mentally for the past six months, felt like a timely rain on a dry river bed when he heard these words. It would be a lie to say he was not moved.

It is gratifying and distressing that the little girl is so sensible and appropriate. If she has been pampered and pampered since she was a child, how could she be so transparent and sensible at such an age.

"Okay, if you like it, then I will give you the money in the house in the future." Xie Jue touched Mingzhu's hair and added, "You can do whatever you want and don't care what others think. If you are wronged, even if Tell father." "Yes, thank you father!" Mingzhu responded happily, and she was lively and smart. "So this year, should we go to the palace to celebrate the New Year, or should we celebrate the New Year at home?"

"Spend New Year's Eve in the palace, from the first to the third day of the lunar month, and my father will teach you how to hold a banquet at home." Xie Jue said lightly, "If you have close friends, you can also invite them to your home."

Mingzhu was overjoyed, "Is it really possible?"

Mingzhu has a lively temperament. Although she is a Northern Barbarian woman, she is a princess, and the noble ladies will exclude her at first, but she is very straightforward, and she also found a group of noble ladies who are very close to each other in the Imperial College. She had been to several banquets held by them and was very envious. Others also mentioned that Mingzhu could hold banquets in the palace. Since Xie Jue built the palace, the former Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had not held a banquet, and Mingzhu herself had no confidence. , and dare not hold a banquet at home, which is a symbol of power and status.

"Of course you can!" Xie Jue also noticed his negligence, "It's always possible."

Mingzhu hugged Xie Jue excitedly, just like Ruyi said, "Thank you, father!"

Xie Jue was startled. The little girl also realized that she had lost her temper. She quickly saluted and ran away. Xie Jue couldn't help but laugh. After Mingzhu left, he called the housekeeper and asked him carefully about what happened in the past six months. He didn't even know. There are actually slaves in the mansion who bully their master. Since their hearts are so big, there is no room for these giant Buddhas in this mansion.

Xie Jue took care of the affairs in the palace and brought Mingzhu into the palace. Ruyi had been waiting at the gate of the palace early. When he saw Xie Jue, he ran over. Now he ran very steadily and almost rushed into Xie Jue's arms, smearing honey on his mouth. , "Daddy, Ruyi misses you so much. We haven't seen you for a long time. Daddy is more beautiful than in Yiyi's dream."

Xie Jue couldn't finish listening to his son's praise. You are only five years old, so you are a bit...too exaggerated.

"That's wrong. Who can look better than us Ruyi?"

"Ruyi is the first prettiest, and dad is the second prettiest." Ruyi smiled and rubbed his face, extremely happy.

Mingzhu laughed and said, "Come down quickly. He's so big that he can't be held all the time."

The last time Xie Xun was playing with Ruyi on his shoulders was seen by the Taifu, and Ruyi was punished to learn etiquette for ten days.

"Okay, okay!" Ruyi also felt that she was one year older and could no longer act coquettishly and be carried. In the Beining clan, children were raised to be very stable. At the age of three, they must behave properly and be polite. Thoughtful, no one is like Ruyi who is used to being spoiled by his elders and acting like a spoiled brat. If the Tutor saw her, he would probably have to teach Ruyi some etiquette lessons.

Xie Jue raised his eyebrows, "Have you been punished?"

"Yes, yes, yes, daddy, the master is bad. He punished Ruyi to learn the rules for twenty days!" Ruyi added, "Ruyi's knees are swollen and his hands are also swollen. Please give Ruyi a new one." Master."

Pearl, "..."

Xie Jue, "..."
