My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 251

"Huh?" Wan Qixiao immediately stopped his hands and turned his head, only to see Qing Ruo pushing a wheelchair in.Because Gu Qingcheng's legs and feet are not good, except for the main gate, there are no thresholds in other courtyards of the Duke's Mansion.

Wan Qixiao didn't know that he had been watched for a long time just now, and seeing Gu Qingcheng's face seemed to have a blush at this time, he just thought it was because he looked better today, so he didn't think much about it.Thinking of all the affairs in the mansion today, I sorted out my thoughts and reported them to Gu Qingcheng one by one.

Gu Qingcheng did not show any impatience or resistance, but kept a smile and listened to all of her reports, and nodded to show that he understood.When Wan Chengxiao thought he would say a few words of encouragement such as "Wangcai is doing well" and "You are doing a good job" to praise the dog, Gu Qingcheng beckoned and asked her to put the dog in the house. Bring me the roster of servants and pen and ink.

Although Wan Qixiao was puzzled, he didn't ask much, and took the things into his hands.

Gu Qingcheng flipped through the roster and smiled at Wan Qixiao: "Actually, managing servants is not that difficult. You are just getting started, so you haven't gotten used to it yet. Just look, the roster is arranged according to each garden and courtyard, and it is easy to see In terms of relatives and relatives, except for making a big mistake, the maids and servants in the inner courtyard will not change. If there is someone who wants to get married, they can exchange and supplement with a suitable house. The contract of sale in the palace is all seven years. They are named red orange yellow green blue blue purple, so there is no need to check carefully. Just by looking at the name, it is easy to figure out when the servant will enter the mansion and when it will expire. For the servants who are due to expire, let the servants who are not doing well be removed in advance. The rest asked their wishes, and those who were willing to stay continued to sign the contract of sale, and those who did not want to be rewarded with money and sent out of the mansion, and then add new servants accordingly. If you serve faithfully, you should naturally have a stable old age."

As Gu Qingcheng said, he annotated on the rice paper, and quickly sorted out the clueless things.Wan Chengxiao was standing beside him, watching him sometimes pointing to the roster, sometimes writing down tips on how to deal with it on rice paper, and sometimes raising his head to explain patiently to her.He is very serious, and Gu Qingcheng, who is serious about imparting experience, has no impurities in his eyes, and he is more charming than ever.

"Hey, why are you blushing?" Qing Ruo arched Wan Qixiao, thinking she asked in a low voice.

Wan Qixiao glared at him, and then whispered back: "You are famous, and your whole family is popular!"

Qing Ruo touched her nose, a little aggrieved.

Gu Qingcheng, who seemed to be buried in the wheelchair from beginning to end to write down his experience, suddenly shook his shoulders, and the hair that fell on his shoulders slid down, hanging on his chest and trembling slightly with the vibration of his chest.He was snickering.

After Gu Qingcheng finished writing, he beckoned Wan Qixiao to bend down. "Actually, if you are really too busy, there are ways to save time."

"Oh?" Wan Qixiao's eyes widened. Is there a better shortcut?

Gu Qingcheng raised his head and whispered the secret to Wan Qixiao's ear, "Just tell the steward, 'business as usual'."

Sure enough, it is a recipe for saving trouble!

Wan Qixiao and Gu Qingcheng looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time.

Although Gu Qingcheng's trouble-saving recipe didn't help Wan Chengxiao much, but it really brought the relationship between the two closer.From the beginning when the two of them talked to each other, there was always an insinuation between the lines, and now the two of them are more or less able to chat.

With the guidance of Gu Qingcheng's experience, Wan Qixiao became more and more comfortable in handling the affairs of Lifu.After the affairs in the mansion were handled on track, there were fewer and fewer things that required her to deal with specially.

In the afternoon, Wan Qixiao was about to take a break from the meeting after lunch, when the housekeeper from the back garden came.This manager is responsible for Gu Qingcheng's daily life, from basic necessities of life to after-dinner meals.Although he is close to Gu Qingcheng, all matters in the mansion are managed by Wan Qixiao, so he still has to report to Wan Qixiao.

Wan Chengxiao had no choice but to get up from the couch in dismay, wondering in his heart.Why did the steward come to her?
Both of them can be regarded as people close to Gu Qingcheng, so naturally when they meet each other, it is inevitable to greet each other, flatter and so on.After a long circle, the housekeeper finally explained the reason.

It turned out that it was the second son of the first-rank prime minister in the court who had a big wedding and invited the king of the county to attend the wedding banquet;

Wan Chengxiao murmured, foreign affairs, isn't it the chief executive's business?Why does the housekeeper care about this?Didn't Gu Qingcheng say that he declined all general red and white invitations.Those who have a formal greeting card of the second rank or above can have a selective interview.Why did the head of internal affairs come to ask her about this?
But soon, Wan Qixiao understood why the head of internal affairs took care of this.

After Bai Guanshi handed in the invitation and statistics list, he magically took out a large pile of portraits of the daughters of various families from his sleeve, and piled them up in front of Wan Chengxiao.

Wan Chengxiao casually pulled out a scroll to look at it. It showed a woman smiling shyly while holding flowers. The footer indicated that she was a daughter of a certain family, her birth date, family ranking, and some special remarks.

Wan Qixiao's black line.It turns out that the housekeeper still cares about this!Matchmaker!
Looking through those scrolls, it is obvious that they were made by different people. It can be seen that the palace did not recruit painters to paint them uniformly, but nobles from various families who hoped to go to Gu Qingcheng to find famous masters to paint by themselves, and sent them to the palace one after another.It can be seen from this, what a hot potato Gu Qingcheng is.

Although Wan Qixiao can make decisions about all matters in the mansion, but this matter... ahem, she really can't make decisions.So she coughed dryly and said, "Let's talk about it after I report to the King of Ming County."

"Yes." Bai Guanshi responded with a bow, but he didn't mean to withdraw and leave. Instead, he turned a corner and tactfully mentioned to Wan Qixiao: "In addition to the residence of Songheyuan, the four main gardens of the palace, The other three gardens are all idle, isn’t it a bit empty?”

Wan Chengxiao raised his eyebrows: "What does Guanshi Bai mean...?"

The white steward hurriedly bowed and saluted to show that he knew his mistake and exceeded the rules, then he straightened up and said worriedly: "The king of the county is already nineteen, even if you don't believe it... Well, that ominous statement, a young man in Dachu who is 19 years old should have accepted it a long time ago There are people in the room..."

Wan Qixiao made a black line again.To put it simply, how many women are you going to stuff into the garden for Gu Qingcheng?
"The women in the scrolls are all from famous families, with pure bloodlines and gentle dispositions. If the county king doesn't like it, you can buy some other commoner women..." Bai Guanshi offered a suggestion.

Wan Chengxiao was shocked.Knowing that Gu Qingcheng's power is overwhelming and hot, but he didn't expect it to be this hot.The women in the scrolls are all noble daughters, and all of them are descendants, but now they are willing to surrender a few ranks to be Gu Qingcheng's concubine. bed woman?
