The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 347 Chapter 353: Mutual Exploration

Le Shu glanced at the side concubine uneasily, pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I didn't say anything, that is, the princess doesn't like foreigners."

That's what it means to not let them bother you.

Pang Shuyi's complexion was dark, she was speechless for a while, her chest heaved and fluctuated in anger.

In the courtyard.

Yunran was sitting on the soft couch, and Mu Yi beside her was talking to her about the things in the school. Today, she was able to get out of bed and walk. The ointment from the hospital was very effective, and she didn't feel much pain.

It's just that the bruises on the knees are still bluffing.

Yun Ran asked a few questions about her homework, and left Mu Yi for dinner. Mu Yi went to Gu Fan's for lunch, but because she was injured, he ran back to accompany her.

After lunch, Yun Ran carefully told her: "Take a break at noon, and then you will be able to read in the afternoon."

"Yes." Mu Yi also obediently obeyed, stood up and walked out, "Mother also needs to rest well."

Yun Ran smiled and nodded, and after watching him go out, she leaned back on the soft pillow and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yi is a good-natured kid, but he's a bit heavy-headed, but it should get better soon. After all, living in such an atmosphere as a palace, normal people would feel depressed, let alone him.

Yunran made up his mind to watch him more in the future.

After sending Mu Yi off for a lunch break, Yun Ran called Qiu He and Chun Xin in for questioning.

"Go back directly?"

"Yes, that Yue Shu wants to make friends with the people in our yard, but under the supervision of sister Qiuhe, none of the people in the east yard have the guts to show up." Chun Xin laughed.

Yun Ran thought for a while, then asked casually, "Is there any movement from Qiao Jinzhang?"

"If you go back to the princess, no. I didn't go to pay my respects to the old princess, and I didn't send anyone to the east courtyard. Her small courtyard is quiet." Qiu He replied.

Yun Ran was really a little confused, this Qiao Jinzhang's temperament was not very good, how did he get into the prince's mansion, but he learned the tricks of recklessness.

Pang Shuyi made repeated moves when she entered the mansion. Yunran was really surprised that the old concubine didn't see her. She thought that the old concubine was the one who brought him in after all, so she would give some face no matter what.

However, when someone came to pick her up, the old concubine did not allow Pang Shuyi to greet her, so what does this mean?
Right now, if the old princess doesn't see Pang Shuyi and Qiao Jinzhang's side concubines, and the princess Yunran doesn't see them either, their status in the palace will be very embarrassing.

With the name of a side concubine, she is actually not very respectable.

However, for such a result, Yun Ran couldn't say who was pitiful.

After all, she felt sorry for them, maybe after they turned over, she would become the mud under their feet.

She didn't want to test things like human nature at all.

Right now this situation is fine.

The old princess bowed to the Buddha and stayed behind closed doors, while Yunran was recuperating from her wounds and did not see any guests.

When the two side concubines entered the palace, Tan shi paid for their food and drink expenses. As for the management method, this was a headache for Tan shi, and Yun Ran didn't want to get involved at all.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tan was frowning here.

Mu Qinlan sat at the bottom with a calm expression, her eyes scanned the account books in front of her mother-in-law, but she didn't stay for a while.

Anyway, with Tan's temperament, she wouldn't let her go easily, and she wouldn't be so shallow-eyed that she would be bored by others.

The monthly rule for the princess is 50 taels in January, and the side concubine is 30 taels according to the rules.

In this way, the monthly bills of these three people in the mansion will be 110 taels more every month, not to mention the monthly bills for girls and women brought by them, the clothes for all seasons, and the bills for food and drink. Spending 200 taels.

She is in charge of the middle income of the palace, but she does not hold all the income of the palace.

What can be in her hands is actually limited.

The income on Zhuangzi is considerable, and the relationship between people is also in the official account books. The money is like a waste of water, and it is gone in the blink of an eye.

Whoever's short of this can't be short of Wang Hao's, and her expenses can't be cut.But where others...

Tan sneered.

Mu Qinlan looked at her mother-in-law's expression and turned her head expressionlessly, but she thought in her heart that the new side concubine might feel wronged.

As a mother-in-law of hers, money is very important, and suddenly there is one more concubine, two side concubines, and servants, and the family's expenditure will inevitably increase a lot.

It is also a common thing for the top to hold back the bottom, which is not unusual.

This is not favored, isn't it bad luck?
It is better for others to be unlucky than to be unlucky for her.

When she came out of the main courtyard, the sky was just right, and Mu Qinlan lost her interest for a while, and she didn't want to go back to her courtyard and sit there.He simply took the girl for a walk in the back garden. The autumn sun was warm on his body, and it made people take a comfortable breath, and the whole person was in a good mood.

Walking around the promenade, I heard voices talking in front of me. Looking forward, I saw Pang Shuyi, who was wearing a lake blue long-sleeved double-breasted gown, talking and laughing with her girl, looking calm and cheerful.

It's not easy to pretend not to see the opposite after walking twice.

Mu Qinlan walked over with a smile, "Pang side concubine is really in a good mood, come to enjoy the flowers?"

Pang Shuyi looked at Mu Qinlan, with a gentle smile on her face, "Eldest young mistress comes here when she has free time. She just came out for a walk when she was idle in the house. I didn't expect to meet eldest young mistress."

Everyone used to be ladies who came and went frequently, and the relationship can be regarded as intimacy. Now we met in a different identity, but we got used to it very quickly.

After walking a few steps, I sat down to rest in the octagonal pavilion.

Mu Qinlan looked at Pang Shuyi with a smile, "It's really unexpected that we can still live under one roof after going around like this."

"That's right, the County Lord Duo Meng took care of her in the past, but now they're a family. Let's change the ones who are affectionate."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Mu Qinlan asked the people around her to retreat outside the pavilion and looked at Pang Shuyi with a smile, "You look good, I heard that the old concubine didn't see you?"

Pang Shuyi was ugly for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and sighed softly, "What can I do? As women, we are just duckweeds drifting with the tide. What can I make decisions on my own? If I can Being the master, how can I let myself fall into such a field."

Mu Qinlan also sighed after hearing the words, "Yes, I can't help myself. But your situation is much better than mine, at least you have Qiao Jinzhang as your company, but I only have a black hand here."

Listening to Mu Qinlan's words, Pang Shuyi felt that she was getting close, and the smile on her face became more real, and she said slowly, "They are cousins, so the county master doesn't need to be sad."

What happened back then, without seeing it with my own eyes, no one can say who is right and who is wrong.

Of course Mu Qinlan was wrong, but Gu Shuxuan may not be really wronged, it is inevitable that she did not have the scheming to push the boat along.

The two of them did not deal with each other, Pang Shuyi changed her mind, if she could form an alliance with Mu Qinlan, it would be a bit easier in this palace.

Both of them had this in mind, so naturally the more they talked, the happier they became, and they became intimate within a few words.

"The old concubine is the most respectful person, and she doesn't like to go out normally, she just pays respects to the Buddha in the yard. During the festivals, the old concubine Pang will show her sincerity, and the old concubine will naturally see it."

Listening to Mu Qinlan's advice, Pang Shuyi's eyes lit up a little, as long as there is a breakthrough.

"In a few days, the chrysanthemums will be in full bloom. I want to have a flower banquet. I wonder if Concubine Pang is in a good mood?" Mu Qinlan asked with a smile.

Pang Shuyi was taken aback, wondering what Mu Qinlan meant.

For the flower banquet in the palace, I don't know how many people want to post a post.It's just that, as Mu Qinlan's eldest wife, some people can't be invited. Could it be that she wants to use her name to make a fool of her?

If this is the case, Pang Shuyi is really hesitant.

After all, even though she has decided on the title of side concubine, it is a little embarrassing. She is afraid that she will leave some bad reputation if she is strong at this time.

Seeing Pang Shuyi's hesitation, Mu Qinlan said softly: "It's the mother who thinks that the mansion should also be filled with joy, maybe a flower feast."

That is to use the name of the eldest lady to make a post, so there must be many people coming.

If she can attend the banquet, should she just tell outsiders that at least the head of the Luo Palace recognizes her identity, and this is the first step to sell.

But Mu Qinlan will not help herself for no reason, but she doesn't know what her idea is.

Pang Shuyi thought about it carefully, but she was still reluctant to give up this opportunity, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'll bother you later."

"How can this be considered an interruption? They are all family members, so they should be affectionate." Mu Qinlan smiled happily, "I still have something to do, so I will go back first, and then I will give my side concubine Next post, be sure to come.”

Pang Shuyi naturally complied, watching Mu Qinlan rushing away, slowly withdrawing her gaze.

Since I can't figure out what she is going to do for a while, let's wait and see how she gets better.

What she is most concerned about now is, will Gu Yunran be there when the Tan family hosts a banquet?

It stands to reason that living under the same roof, Gu Yunran, the concubine Luo, wouldn't she not give the lady some face, would she?
