Traveling through time and space

It turned out to be an acquaintance, but Su Yuanyuan still squatted slightly. The man leaned sideways and said, "Yuanyuan greets Eunuch Shen."

"Your servant greets Miss Su." Eunuch Shen returned a salute to Su Yuanyuan, "Miss, old lady, please receive the order." Eunuch Shen stood in the middle.

So formal? Su Yuanyuan helped her grandmother kneel down, and she also knelt down after straightening her clothes. "The Emperor of Heaven and the Chengyun has decreed that the Marquis of Xiaoyong made great contributions during his lifetime and saved my life. Therefore, I hereby confer the title of First-Rank Consort on the Marquis of Xiaoyong's daughter. I also confer the title of Princess Anle on the Marquis of Xiaoyong's grandson Su Yuanyuan. Let her enjoy the dignity of a princess to comfort the Marquis of Xiaoyong's spirit in heaven... I decree this." The grandmother had been very surprised. This was something she had not expected. The kneeling person thanked the emperor and stood up.

"Princess, the Emperor has specially granted you six palace maids, six eunuchs, and ten guards to serve you. He has also given you fertile land... farmland... cloth... ten pairs of emerald jade bracelets, ten white jade hairpins, ten pairs of red coral beads, and fifty pearls of various sizes. Five pairs of colored glaze bowls and fifty celestial jasper beads of various sizes..." Su Yuanyuan was a little surprised by what Eunuch Shen was saying. How much stuff was that? Was he trying to make up for all the things he had accumulated over the past decade? She looked at her grandmother, who had the same expression.

"I thank the emperor for his grace." Grandmother knelt down to express her gratitude, and Su Yuanyuan also knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Madam, Princess Anle, here are the books and seals. The formal dress is being made.

"I will take my leave first." Shen Jiatian bowed. "You must serve the princess well and there must not be any mistakes." A group of people bowed to Eunuch Shen.

"Housekeeper, Mother Cai, you must send Eunuch Shen off in person." Su Yuanyuan ordered.

"I don't deserve this, Madam, Princess, I'll take my leave."

Su Yuanyuan faced the group of people and said, "From now on, you are the servants of our Marquis of Xiaoyong Mansion. You are no longer people in the palace."

"Yes, Princess Anle." Everyone bowed. "Your servants are the Princess's only master.

"Is there a leader among you?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"In reply to the princess, the servants have received orders to serve the princess. The servants have no leader."

"Since you have the courage to speak up, you will be the leader of these twelve people from now on. Remember to manage and teach them well. If they make mistakes, you will be punished along with them. Are you willing?"

"I am willing. We are all selected, so naturally everything is the best."

"Okay, what's your name? What are your specialties? What can you do? What do you do best? Think about it and think about how to answer it best. This will help me arrange your tasks. Someone who can read can take notes."

"Princess, we are all capable of doing it." The girl just stood up.

"Okay, this princess really appreciates and likes your confidence. So tell me, who among you is the best at makeup and hairdressing? Who is the best at making tea and arranging flowers? Who has the highest martial arts skills? Who is the best at communicating with people? Who is the most eloquent? Who is the best at writing, reading account books, etc.? Who does the housework best?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"Princess, I, the servant Dongmei, am best at dealing with people." The woman who had just introduced herself replied.

"My servant Chunlan..." "My servant..." "My servant..." Everyone talked about their specialties. What really surprised Su Yuanyuan was that a young eunuch stepped forward and recommended himself, saying that he was the best at combing hair.

"Okay, Xiao Zhuangzi, from now on, when the princess and the old lady go out to attend a banquet, you will help us comb our hair." Su Yuanyuan looked at the crowd. "The ten of you come forward and talk."

"Greetings to the princess." The ten young men knelt down on one leg and saluted in unison.

"You all stand up and talk. Are you all martial artists?" If so, then letting them guard the house is a bit of a waste of their talents, Su Yuanyuan asked, feeling a little warm in her heart. The father was really thoughtful.

"Princess, we are all martial artists. When we come to you, we will serve you as our master."

"Okay, whoever's speaking, what's your name?"

"Little Yi Hong."

"Okay, from now on you will be their captain. Please take good care of the safety of the Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion. As for the arrangements, you will all follow Captain Hong's instructions."

"Yes, Princess," everyone saluted.

"Grandmother, let's arrange for these people to be responsible for the guard work in the mansion. Remember, from now on, the safety of the old lady and this princess will depend entirely on you."

"Okay, let them be responsible for guarding the mansion. These people will go to your Shanhe Hall to work. Yuanyuan, do you want to change the gate of the mansion..."

"Grandma, this is the Marquis of Valor Mansion that my grandfather fought for with his life, and it will always be. But Yuanyuan wants to change the name of the courtyard where she lives. How about calling it Qimeng Garden? Yuanyuan likes this name."

"Okay, let's have it done today and redecorate the front door," said my grandmother excitedly.

"Madam, Miss, the gate of the mansion is surrounded by people. Our Marquis of Bravery's Mansion is finally prosperous again." The two old women choked up a little.

"Well, this is the emperor's grace. Aunt Yang, you personally take these ten and settle them down. From now on, they will be the guards of our Xiaoyong Marquis' Mansion. Aunt Liu, take these twelve to Yuanyuan's Qimeng Garden. They will serve Yuanyuan from now on. Aunt Yan, find two empty rooms in Qimeng Garden and use them as storage. Carry all the gifts from the emperor there. Also, move all of Yuanyuan's things from the palace's storage room there so she can keep them. Yuanyuan, you will rest at grandmother's place today and tidy up the yard."

"The old lady, the princess, and Manager Xiang are here." They were having their meal when Mrs. Liu came in to answer.

"Let them wait in Biming Garden. Also, ask them if they've had their meals. If not, have the kitchen bring them food." Su Yuanyuan sat still and gave the instructions. "Grandma, they're probably here to deliver the accounts, the accounts for the Cai and Shen residences."

"Yuanyuan, do you really want to come back?"

"Of course we have to get it back. No one's money comes out of thin air. The Cai family is a wealthy family, so they wouldn't refuse to pay back the money. Besides, it's unreasonable to not pay back money." When they actually saw the stack of IOUs, to be honest, they were dumbfounded. Over the years, the two families had taken nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the Su family's shop, the Shen family 19,792 taels, and each branch of the Cai family owed between 10,000 and 20,000 taels, and all of them were from the jewelry store on Luohong Street and the rouge shop on Yuchun Lane. "Grandma, they have half of our family fortune in their hands. Grandma, do you think it's okay not to come back? They are taking advantage of the rich?"

"I never expected that they took so much over the years, but no one told grandma." Grandma was really devastated these two days.

"Have you ever gone to the Cai Mansion to collect debts over the years?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"If they wanted to, they would say the same thing. The old lady is their grandmother, and this is what they should do." Manager Zhang hesitated, and Su Yuanyuan nodded.

"Madam, there are people coming to the door with gifts."

"Why give gifts?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Silly child, I have the title of a lady of the first rank, and you have the identity of a princess." The grandmother looked a little amused.

"Grandma, our Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion is rising again, so let's forget all the unhappy things." Su Yuanyuan felt distressed when she saw her grandmother unhappy.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's a deal. I want this money back. Grandma doesn't want a penny of it. It will all be yours."

"Okay, since we're all at home anyway, the three of you go back and organize your own guys first. This princess refers to all of them. Then just wait. The two Japanese princesses will call you over again and tell you what you should do specifically then." The three of them took the order and retreated.

"Yuanyuan, what are you waiting for?"

"Grandma, Yuanyuan didn't expect the eldest wife to be in there too. That shouldn't be the case."

"Princess, this servant may know. It should be something done privately by the eldest lady and the eldest wife. I often see the eldest lady changing her jewelry very diligently. How could she have so many private items? I have suspected it a long time ago, but I didn't dare to tell the old lady." Old Lady Yang muttered beside her.

"You old bitch, you're such a hindsight person," the grandmother scolded, making everyone laugh.

"Madam, those outside the door."

"Take it. Our Marquis of Xiaoyong Mansion has become prosperous. We will have to deal with other families in the future. Remember this mansion. In the future, during festivals, just add 20% to the return gift."

"Yes, old lady."

"Grandma, Yuanyuan wants to talk to my eldest brother about the Cai family's accounts first. At least let them save face."

"Okay, you've got it done."

It was a busy day, busy with recruiting servants for the mansion. The traffickers brought quite a few people, and Su Yuanyuan specially called the girl named Dongmei over to let her choose someone. This girl was really good, and Su Yuanyuan was 80% satisfied with the people she chose. With the help of several maids, the servants in the mansion were almost recruited. Su Yuanyuan gathered everyone together, said a few words, and established some rules. At this time, the housekeeper came and said that someone named Xu Kun said he wanted to see Miss Su. Su Yuanyuan thought it was just right, so she asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and asked him to come in to record it. First of all, there were a few house rules. First, there were many servants in the mansion, and no one was allowed to discuss the master without authorization. First, when doing things at home, one must do one's own duties. Second, one must fulfill one's own duties in one's own affairs and one's own posts and must not leave without permission. Third, no matter how many people are there, one must not quarrel or cause trouble. Fourth, one must do one's own work and not wander around the mansion casually. People who are not from the main courtyard are not allowed to enter the main courtyard at any time. Fifth, one must do one's own work well and must not shirk one's responsibilities casually. If one violates the rules, one will be punished with a cane. Su Yuanyuan ordered the housekeeper and Mrs. Liu to assist Xu Kun to sort out all the indentures and deeds of everyone in the mansion, and then go to the government to prepare the case. Dongmei replied and brought the indentures and deeds of herself and others. Su Yuanyuan nodded.

The person who had gone out to handle the funeral returned home to report that everything had been completed, having spent a hundred taels of silver. Su Yuanyuan had instructed that when the memorial tablets could be set up, they should be set up for the two people, and that they should send some incense money every year. People should keep their promises. By the time Su Yuanyuan managed to return to her room, she was exhausted. So much had happened that day.

"Princess, this is what Eunuch Shen asked me to give you." Dongmei had just laid down when she brought in a box. She took it and opened it. There was a jade pendant on top, flanked by two flying dragons and a single Chinese character in black ink in the middle. The jade was of the finest quality, pure, delicate, smooth, and flawless white. There was a letter, and underneath was a stack of papers. A closer look revealed the contracts for these people. "Are you all settled?"

"In reply to the princess, everything has been arranged. The servants will serve the princess well."

"Okay, go down and pack up. Starting tomorrow, you will officially be on duty here."

"Yes, county lord."

Su Yuanyuan opened the letter. It was really written by him. He told her to keep the Panlong Xuanyu Jue, which could help her resolve any danger. He said he would not give her any cash and would let her take over Miaoyufang directly. He also told her a lot of stories about how he met his mother. ... Su Yuanyuan suddenly shed tears. She was not an orphan without love and care. She also had a father who loved her.

"Princess, the eldest young master is here." Mother Yan called out when she saw the person on the bed move.

"What time is it now?" Su Yuanyuan asked. It turned out that she had just fallen asleep.

"Princess, please stand up. The old lady is waiting to have dinner with you." Mother Cai picked up her coat.

"It's so late? Mother Yan, has the warehouse been settled yet?"

"Everything has been settled. The old lady asked her to pick out a lot of good things and bring them over here."

"Grandma always sends all the good things here." Grandma is really the best person to Su Yuanyuan.

"Princess, the old lady has suffered so much these years."

"Don't worry, Mama Cai, Yuanyuan will treat grandma very well in the future. Very good."

Arriving at her grandmother's charity hall, where she was buried by the light, Su Yuanyuan heard voices coming from inside the house. She knew that some things had to be faced. "Princess," the servant greeted.

"Brother, you're here." Su Yuanyuan walked into the small living room.

"Are you awake? You must have been exhausted these days."

"No, grandma, Yuanyuan is growing up and feels sleepy easily. I'm hungry."

"Okay, sit down and have your meal. Your elder brother is not an outsider, so he won't laugh at you if he sees you like this."

"I'm honored to meet the princess," the eldest brother stood up and saluted.

"Brother, are you teasing Yuanyuan?" Su Yuanyuan sat down. "Brother, have you resolved Ruyan's issue?"

"What do you want to do to Liu Xiuya?" asked the eldest brother.

"Let her be too embarrassed to leave the house. Ever since Yuanyuan came back, this woman has been stirring up trouble again and again, trying to harm Yuanyuan. Not letting her get the corresponding retribution is not enough to appease the resentment in my heart. Yuanyuan and her have nothing to do with each other, but she is targeting Yuanyuan everywhere. I didn't want to sit and wait for death, and now I can't do it anymore. If big brother doesn't want to take action, Yuanyuan will handle it herself."

Su Yuanyuan looked at her grandmother and nodded with a headache. Everyone standing in the room went out. It turned out that it was her eldest brother who asked them to go out. "Did you recognize him?"

"Yes, otherwise Yuanyuan and Grandma wouldn't have the honor they have now. Big brother, please forget about Yuanyuan's identity."

"Don't you hate him anymore?"
