Chapter 57 Walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms
As soon as they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, the imperial palace sent people to deliver reward silver, gold, silk, satin, and servants to Prince Jing's Mansion.
The residence granted by the emperor is a three-entry, three-exit house on Yong'an Street. Although it is not as good as the Jingwang Mansion, the overall location is not bad. Yuan Ying doesn't care, as long as he has a place to live.
Yuan Ying felt a headache when he saw the servants standing in five rows. These fifty mouths all needed to be fed. He didn't want any of them.
She thought so in her heart and said so: "Father-in-law, I don't want these fifty servants. I am a rough person and don't need anyone to serve me."
Obviously the young eunuch was shocked by Yuan Ying's words and didn't know how to react for a long time.
Murong Xuanyi held his forehead and said, "Xiaoying, if you don't add more manpower to such a large mansion, who will clean and maintain the daily cleaning and sanitation?
If Zhao Wanqiu doesn't do anything else in one day, you won't be able to finish cleaning. Are you planning to clean it yourself?"
"If you are going out, you will need a driver, right? Do you want to go to court on horseback?"
"And you plan to cook your own meals too?"
"And are you going to make your own clothes?"
…………
After hearing what Murong Xuanyi said, it really takes a few talents.
Alas, this big house is also very annoying. It would be much nicer to have a two-bedroom, one-living-room house for herself, with one room each for her and Wanqiu.
Yuan Ying said helplessly: "Then let's leave ten behind, and I'll trouble you to take the others back."
She is not stupid. She knows how much the monthly expenses for so many people would be.
Murong Xuanyi gave the eunuch a silver ingot as a reward and said, "Leave twenty of them here, and you will have to take the others back."
After the father-in-law left, he patiently said, "Ten people are not enough. Stay ten more and I'll pay for all the expenses, okay?"
Yuan Ying finally said, "Okay then, you said so, you pay for these ten people."
Murong Xuanyi smiled helplessly. Fortunately, he knew her frugal habits, otherwise she would really be like someone who loves money more than her life.
She looked at the servants standing in two rows and said, "Please introduce yourselves one by one and tell us in detail what you are good at."
"Greetings, my Lord. I'm Hongxiu, an expert at housekeeping." A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, of average appearance, bowed to her politely.
"Greetings, sir. I'm Tianxiang, an expert at needlework and embroidery." A woman in her early twenties bowed.
"Greetings, sir. I'm Su Niang, a servant who is good at cooking." The man looked at the older and calm woman in her early thirties.
"Greetings, sir. I'm Shunxi. I know some martial arts and am good at driving horses and carriages." A young man with dark skin.
…………
After a while, the twenty people introduced themselves one after another. Yuan Ying listened to their introductions. They all had their own strengths, as if each one was specially tailored for her.
In the spacious hall, the servants lined up neatly, respectfully waiting for instructions from their new master.
Yuan Ying walked forward slowly, looked at them dignifiedly and said, "If you want to stay in my house, first of all, you are not allowed to say slaves or servants."
She was disgusted by the idea of slaves and servants. She was a military man and all people were equal. They worked and she paid the wages, so they were equal.
"Secondly, I don't care where you worked before. Now that you have entered my house, you must abide by the rules of my house. You must always remember your responsibilities."
"Again, I have always employed people based not on quantity but on loyalty. If you want to stay in my house, you must be loyal. If you can't do that, stand up now, and I will give you ten taels of silver and send you back."
No one stood up.
She paused for a moment and continued, "Now that you have entered my house, we will all be a family. I hope you can unite and help each other.
In this big family, everyone has his or her own responsibilities and tasks. Only when everyone works together can this family become more prosperous. "
Finally, she encouraged him, "As long as you are loyal and wholeheartedly work for our big family, I will never treat you unfairly.
But if anyone commits an act of dishonesty in my house, he will be severely punished."
A group of slaves shouted in unison: "Your servants will obey your instructions!"
Murong Xuanyi on the side chuckled.
Yuan Ying frowned, it was all in vain. She said coldly:
"If you want to stay in my house, first of all, you are not allowed to say slaves or servants. It seems that none of you want to stay, so leave now."
A group of slaves begged in unison: "Sir, we know we are wrong, please give us a chance."
Yuan Ying smiled slyly and said, "This won't happen again!"
After saying that, he led everyone to Tingyuxuan. Zhao Wanqiu also heard that the emperor had rewarded the young master with fifty slaves, so she thought that the young master would no longer need her. She suddenly felt panic-stricken.
When Yuan Ying came back, he saw her silently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this, she was confused and asked, "Wanqiu, what's wrong with you? Pack up, we're moving."
Zhao Wanqiu said in disbelief: "Sir, will you really take me with you?"
Yuan Ying was puzzled. Not taking her with him? Oh! She immediately understood why Wanqiu was crying.
She smiled and said, "What are you thinking? There are twenty new people here, waiting for you to arrange them. Do you want me to arrange them?"
Zhao Wanqiu immediately burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, sir!"
Yuan Ying said to the twenty people: "From now on, she will be your chief housekeeper. You just need to follow her arrangements."
Wanqiu arranged these people in an orderly manner. Yuan Ying was very pleased. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. She was not good at housework, and Wanqiu was really her all-round assistant.
After Wan Qiu arranged these people, he said to Yuan Ying, "Sir, are we moving now?"
"How come you are more anxious than me?"
Wan Qiu felt differently. No matter how good this place was, she was still living under someone else's roof. Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing was always smiling towards her son, he was always serious towards other people, which made people feel pressured.
"Okay, you pack up first. After I talk to the prince, we will move tomorrow." Yuan Ying said.
During lunch, Yuan Ying proposed to Murong Xuanyi the idea of moving tomorrow.
After hearing this, Murong Xuanyi said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "Do you really want to move away?"
Yuan Ying said nonchalantly: "We will have to move sooner or later anyway. Now that we have our own house, it's not good to bother you anymore."
Murong Xuanyi's expression suddenly changed, and a layer of frost seemed to condense on his face, making him extremely cold and stern, with a cold and solemn look between his brows.
After a moment's silence, he said coldly: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you." Then he left the front hall.
Yuan Ying felt speechless as he watched him leave. He was always angry for no apparent reason. How could this man be more sentimental than a woman?
...............
When Yuan Ying returned to his room to take a nap, Murong Xuanyi came to Tingyu Pavilion. Although he still had a stern face, his tone was much better than before. He said to Yuan Ying, "Change into cycling clothes and I'll take you horseback riding."
Yuan Ying instantly perked up when he heard this, and went back to his room to change into a red riding suit, and followed Murong Xuanyi into the carriage.
Yuan Ying asked, "Why did you get on a carriage when you said you were going to ride a horse?"
"Yes! Let's go to the Royal Stables." Murong Xuanyi looked at her and said lightly.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a horse farm outside Beijing. The farm was spacious and grand, surrounded by golden chrysanthemums and mountains of fiery red maple leaves.
Today was a holiday, so there were quite a few people at the horse farm. Jiang Chong led two horses out of the stable, one red and one white.
It was obvious at first glance that this was a good horse, one in a million. Especially the red one. Its entire body was as red as charcoal, without a single stray hair. Yuan Ying fell in love with it at first sight.
She walked up to it and tried to touch its red mane, but it suddenly raised its head and neighed, as if to say, "Don't touch me."
Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi walked up to her and said with a smile: "These two horses are a pair. The male one is called Taxue and the other one is called Xunmei. The female one is for you. She has a gentler temperament."
Yuan Ying glanced at the snow-white horse. It was completely white without a single stray hair, and it was shining, as if it was covered in silver silk.
Although she liked the red one, since it belonged to Murong Xuanyi, she couldn't say anything.
He walked over to Xunmei, stroked its mane and said, "Xunmei is too ugly. Let's change it to a more domineering name. How about Zhuifeng? How about Rocket? Or White Dragon Horse? Which one do you like?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xuanyi frowned and said, "What nonsense! You can't change its name. It and Taxue are a pair. I won't be used to it if it's renamed Taxue."
Yuan Ying glanced at him, raised his chin and said, "White Dragon Horse, let's go." After saying that, he jumped onto the horse swiftly.
Murong Xuanyi laughed dumbly, shook his head helplessly and got on the horse. The more you get to know this girl, you will find that she has a naughty heart. This makes her 100 pounds of weight, 99 pounds of stubbornness.
Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanyi and smiled: "Murong Xuanyi, let's have a real match. You must not give in to me. How about it?"
Murong Xuanyi looked at her with a bit of evil charm and said, "Okay! What do you say if you win?"
Yuan Ying raised his eyebrows and said, "If you win, my winnings from last time will be offset. If I win, well, I'll keep the account first!"
Having said that, he rode his horse forward.
Murong Xuanyi sneered and said, "You are doing what a robber does." Then he rode his horse to catch up.
The horse field was shining with golden light. Two gorgeous figures galloped across the horse field, their figures rose and fell on the horse's back, blending perfectly with the horses. Their eyes were full of confidence and determination.
Murong Xuanyi held the reins tightly and clamped his legs around the horse's belly, demonstrating his skillful riding skills and powerful strength.
Yuan Ying rode the horse lightly, her posture was elegant and flexible, the dazzling red and the dazzling white merged into one, looking so dazzling on the racecourse.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, raising clouds of dust. Their speed increased, and the gap between them became smaller and smaller.
All the people riding horses on the horse field stopped and looked at the two men.
In the final sprint, they both tried their best. Murong Xuanyi's horse pushed forward. Yuan Ying was not to be outdone, she sped up her horse and tried to overtake him.
In the end, Murong Xuanyi won by a narrow margin, with a triumphant smile on his face.
At this time, Yu Wang Murong Xuanxing rode over and said:
"Old Fifth, what a good time! Normally, these two horses of yours are so precious that no one can touch them. Why are you willing to bring them out today? It seems that this white-faced boy is more favored than my brother, the emperor?"
"Oh! Isn't he the Shangshu appointed by my father yesterday? He is good at horse riding. I wonder how he is in other aspects?" He said with a wicked smile.
Murong Xuanyi said in a deep voice: "My royal brother also knows that it was chosen by our father, so other aspects are naturally excellent as well.
Then, he snorted coldly: "What do you mean by asking this question, brother? Are you doubting our father?"
The voice was as cold as a knife, causing King Yu to shiver.
Prince Yu was startled, but he showed no fear. He looked back at him with a steady gaze and said, "What's the point? Third brother is just curious."
Murong Xuanyi laughed coldly, "Third brother, you should be less curious about other things in the future and do more political achievements, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy again."
A layer of gloom suddenly appeared on Prince Yu's face. He was the least accomplished of all the princes, and was not liked by his father. But normally no one dared to poke his sore spot so directly.
Their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flew, and there was a sense of urgency that they would fight if they disagreed. The atmosphere around them seemed to be frozen.
The Sixth Prince, Prince Ning Murong Xuanshuo, quickly stepped forward and said flatteringly, "Third brother, Fifth brother is also concerned about you."
This King Yu, ah! Does he think that the current Murong Xuanyi is still the same Murong Xuanyi as before? Now even his father is afraid of him. He dares to make trouble for no reason. He is really stupid.
Snakes and rats are of the same ilk. But King Yu was impulsive and foolish, while King Ning was cunning and sinister.
Murong Xuanyi glanced at the two of them and led Yuan Ying out of the horse farm.
