The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 400 409: Avoid
Early the next morning, Yun Ran realized that she hadn't told Sikong Mu Sheng about the second room, so she hurriedly told him.

Sikong Mu Sheng put a shrimp dumpling in Yunran's bowl, nodded and said, "You can go when the time comes."

"Aren't you going?" Yun Ran raised her head and asked, it would be best if Sikong Mu Sheng went.

"It's hard to say, if I have time someday, I'll go and sit down." Sikong Mu Sheng didn't refuse outright, he knew that Yunran was planning for him, so he couldn't win her over anyway.

"Well, it would be better if you go, you can see then."

After breakfast, Sikong Mu Sheng put on his cloak and hurried out.

Yunran sat in the room, thinking about what to do with so many people in the palace, and how to get rid of them is the best.

Now the west courtyard is completely empty, and the entire palace is silent, without the bustle of people coming and going in the past, it looks empty.

The master left the two rooms. Although Yunran said that they took away the servants in the mansion at will, but the two rooms took away the servants, and most of the rest stayed.

One reason is that the new family does not need to raise so many servants, and the other reason is that they are people from the palace after all, so they may feel uneasy about using them.

In this case, there will be many more people in the palace, and Feinan sent up the roster yesterday for her to settle.

No one's family can raise a bunch of idlers, especially these idlers, who used to be loyal servants of others, how can they feel at ease when using them.

But just like this to scatter people, it is inevitable to lose the title of widow.

Yunran flipped through the roster, and Qiuhe came in to ask, "I remember the prince has a few idle villages, don't they?" At the beginning, she went to one to recuperate her injuries.

"Yes." Qiuhe replied.

Yunran took a pen to draw a picture, and showed the circled people to Qiu He, "These are all old people who have served in the mansion for many years, and I will say the grace of the prince, thinking of their hard work and loyalty all their lives, let them return The family is honored."

Qiu He frowned when she heard this, "I'm afraid they won't."

It sounds nice to go home to be raised, but in fact, it means that the main family is no longer needed and sent back to relax.

It's true that the days when you don't have to serve your master are leisurely and carefree, but if you don't have errands, you will have no money to collect. Who would like that?
"What is there not to like? The favor given by the master's family, giving them money and sending them back to raise them is a good thing that many people can't hope for." Yun Ran said lightly, "You just do it, if anyone wants If there is trouble, let Fei Nan send it directly to the family temple to pray for the old prince."

These old slaves are the most difficult to settle, and they are not too light or too serious. If there is no other way, Yun Ran will not send them away with money.

Seeing that the princess had made up her mind, Qiu He knew it was useless to say anything, so she took the roster and went to Feinan to discuss it.

The family slaves who have been born for many years are deeply rooted in the mansion, and they are the most difficult to get rid of.

After hearing Qiu He's words, Fei Nan laughed and said, "My concubine is kind and generous, and she even gave this little brat some money to support her. For unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unrighteous things like them, it's cheap to beat them out with a stick."

That's what I said, but I also knew that it was appropriate for the princess to deal with it in this way. After receiving the booklet, she said to Qiuhe: "Miss Qiuhe, go back and tell the princess that I will definitely handle things properly."

Qiu He nodded, "There is a labor manager, I don't know what you plan to do?"

"It's not okay to come directly to the door to chase people out, but these people have been in the mansion for so many years, and they have a lot of relationship with the big house, so it's very easy to find some evidence."

Is this going to be both soft and hard?

Looking at Feinan's smiling face, Qiu He felt creepy, the manager the prince had found was really good.

After Yunran ordered to go on, Feinan started to act.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yunran went back to Chenqiao Hutong with great fanfare and went to her mother's house.

After Feinan heard about it, he hurriedly asked someone to arrange a carriage. In his heart, he blamed the concubine for being so powerful, so he specially gave himself time to deal with this matter.

Well, now this guy can't even find a beggar, the princess is really smart.

This pot is thrown without any effort.

Yunran happily returned to Chenqiao Hutong, and Gu Junhe came out to pick her up with Gu Fan, Mu Yi and Si Konglei.

The whole family immediately cheered up, but Si Konglei was a little restrained, looking at Mr. Gu who was usually serious and serious, his face turned into a flowery smile, and only then did he feel that the princess really had a high status in her natal family.

"It's like my own home here. You see, Mu Yi has been stationed here for a long time. You have worked hard for your studies. If you stay here any longer, it will be hard work." Yun Ran saw Si Konglei's restraint and said. said with a smile.

Mu Yi is taller now, he can't be the same as before, when he sees someone, he sticks into Yunran's arms, and after hearing this, he smiles and says: "That's right, grandpa will take us with you, I really don't want to leave .”

Gu Fan pushes Mu Yi away, leans in front of his sister, and asks, "Sister, can you stay at home for a day when you come back?"

"No, there are a lot of things going on in the mansion, I'll have lunch with you, and I'll be back in the afternoon." As he spoke, he glanced at Si Konglei, and said with a smile: "I'll take you to the second sister-in-law's house to play in the future. "

Si Konglei was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised that the princess would be willing to bring her natal younger brother to his house as a guest.

Before he came back to his senses, he heard Gu Fan say with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm going to suffocate me these days, father won't allow me to go out on the street."

Mu Yi glanced at Si Konglei with a smile, and agreed with a smile.His mother must have agreed with his father when he said that. After getting in touch with him in the past few days, he also thinks that this cousin is a good person, and it's okay to get closer.

Everyone agreed, Gu Junhe drove out a group of bastards, and brought his daughter into the study to whisper.

It was nothing more than asking how she was doing in the palace, whether she was being bullied, and whether the prince treated her well...

Yun Ran replied with a smile, Gu Junhe sighed heavily, "Seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved."

During lunch, Sikong Mu Sheng came, everyone was surprised, especially Sikong Lei was extremely nervous.

Although he is King Luo's nephew, the number of times he has seen him over the years is simply a handful.

Everyone just sat down at the dinner table, and because there were no outsiders, Yun Ran didn't avoid it.Hearing that Sikong Mu Sheng had arrived, he got up to meet him.

When I got to the door, I saw him striding in. The black and silver cloak fluttered with the wind, making him even more imposing.

Everyone in the room came out to greet him, and Sikong Mu Sheng greeted Gu Junhe first.

Then other people came forward to greet him. Although Si Konglei was a bit restrained, he would not be rude with the proper etiquette.

Sikong Mu Sheng patted his son on the shoulder, and then said to Gu Fan: "I will test your kung fu later."

Gu Fan wailed and hid behind Mu Yi.

Finally, he looked at Si Konglei and said, "Are you still used to it here?"

Everyone walked in while talking, and sat down at the table together. Gu Junhe was very happy, and asked for wine to be served over and over again.

Only then did Si Konglei say: "Mr. Gu treats me very well, it's very good here, and I can learn a lot."

"I heard from your aunt that you will retire next year. These days, you should study hard with your husband and strive to go to high school next year." Sikong Mu Sheng said.

Si Konglei glanced at the prince in surprise, and responded repeatedly, feeling a little unreal in his heart.

In fact, for so many years, their second room had no contact with this accomplished third uncle.Even though they lived under the same roof, they actually didn't see each other a few times.

Si Konglei was nervous and happy when he heard the words of the prince now, and he heard that it was the princess who said it to the prince, so seeing the princess is different this time.

Sikong and Mu Sheng asked a few words about Sikong Lei's homework, and then started talking to Gu Junhe. Weng and his son-in-law toasted and drank together, and they talked freely.

Si Konglei found that the prince in the Gu family seemed to be in a very happy and casual mood.Although he rarely saw him, he also knew that his third uncle was a very serious person, but the people at the dinner table were obviously chatty and loved to laugh.

Si Konglei's heart became complicated, it seems that the relationship between the prince and the Yue family is very harmonious.

Carefully looking at the princess, she saw that the princess took the serving chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Mu Yi, and heard her whisper: "No partial eclipse, I have to eat all these vegetables, do you know how rare these vegetables are in winter? "

He watched as Mu Yi didn't want to eat it, but he still swallowed it mouthful, and took the opportunity to stuff his favorite food into his mouth.

Gu Fan on the other side was also stuffed with a few chopsticks of green vegetables by the princess, and swallowed them with a frown, with a look of reluctance and daring to resist, which made him just want to laugh.

At this time, I saw an extra piece of steamed pork ribs in my bowl, and heard the princess say: "I heard that sister Wei said that you like this, so I specially asked the kitchen to make it to see if it suits your taste." .” As he spoke, he also picked up vegetables for him, and said solemnly: “Everyone has them.”

Si Konglei looked at the chopsticks and vegetables and the ribs, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He always felt that it would be too much to say thank you, so he simply picked up the ribs and took a bite, and said with a smile: "It's very authentic. , just like the ones at home."

Yun Ran raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's natural. The cooks in the mansion are all carefully selected. You can just tell them what you want to eat in the future, and you don't have to wrong yourself." Gu Fan, "Just like them, just treat this place as your own home."

Sikong Lei smiled sincerely this time, and nodded in agreement.

Sikong Mu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable, so he glanced at his wife.

Yun Ran filled a bowl of soup for her father, put another bowl in front of Sikong Mu Sheng, and told him in a low voice, "Drink less wine, drink more soup."

"Yeah." My heart felt comfortable immediately, and I put vegetables for Yunran in her bowl.

Yun Ran raised her head and smiled at him, a gentle light shone on her beautiful face.

Si Konglei hurriedly lowered his head, put some green vegetables into his mouth, thinking that the relationship between the prince and the concubine is really good.

After eating, Gu Junhe took the two little ones to take a nap, and Si Konglei went to the study to review his homework.

When Yunran came back, he was busy cleaning up the housework for his father, to see if all the New Year's goods were prepared, and if there was anything missing at home.Although there is a big aunt to take care of it, since she is back, let's take a look.

Sikong Mu Sheng immediately placed the order, and after thinking about it, he went to Sikong Lei.

Seeing the prince coming in, Si Konglei looked at his serious face and became a little nervous again.

"Sit down." Sikong Mu Sheng said to Sikong Lei, pointing to the chair in front of him to let him sit down.

Si Konglei walked over and sat down, thinking that the prince was looking for him for some reason.

"Second brother is still making north-south goods?"

"Yes, my father is planning to go south after the Lantern Festival in the next year." Si Konglei recalled what his mother said, saying that it was the princess who wanted to do business with his father. Could it be that the prince is not willing?
"North and North goods work hard and don't make a lot of money. They can barely earn a living. You go back and ask your second brother, just tell me that I have a business here, and he wants to do it." He paused here, looked at Sikong Lei said: "I think you also know that your third aunt's cousin is doing this, and he needs manpower to expand his business."

Horse dealer?

Si Konglei was very surprised, even if he didn't do business, he would know how profitable this business is.

Back then when the concubine didn't marry into the palace, the prince was able to take her cousin to sell horses. I don't know how many people I envied.

But the horse business at the border is controlled by the prince, and ordinary people can't get in at all.

Now let his father intervene...

This is to support their family.

Si Konglei hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully: "My nephew will tell daddy when he gets back, thank you, my lord."

Sikong Musheng nodded, "Your father has no big ambitions, so let him go if he loves to do business. Since you have taken the road of studying, you must go on well and don't disappoint your family's expectations."

"...Yes." Si Konglei only felt his heart tighten, as if he felt that the prince could see through his mind.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

　Four more, and one more.
