Chapter 564 Entering the Palace
After Xia Zihan discussed with Princess Qinghui, Xia Zihan left sixteen of these twenty people and arranged them in the kitchen, greenhouse, and front yard to do some simple tasks such as washing vegetables, cleaning, and growing vegetables. manual labor.
Xia Zihan took the remaining few to Prince Anjun's Mansion and arranged them in his own yard. They also did some rough work such as sweeping the floor and lighting fires.
There are still more than fifty smart and smart people, regardless of gender, who are suitable for management and business. Xia Zihan left twenty people for Princess Qinghui to choose first, and the remaining thirty or so people. Xia Zihan left everything to Qi Lan to arrange.
After assigning the work to these eighty people, there were still more than one hundred and twenty young men. Princess Qinghui personally selected eighty of them with the best martial arts skills to be the guards of Chu Mansion, and selected six more for Chu Yuexi. A young man with nimble hands and feet and good martial arts skills.
Then, she selected twenty more boys and arranged them to work in the front yard of Chu's house.
There are only twenty people left.
Xia Zihan handed over these twenty people to Chu Jingqi and let him arrange their tasks.
Then there are more than one hundred and sixty girls.
This group of people is both the best and the hardest to arrange, because there are too many of them. The Chu House and Anjun Prince's Mansion combined do not need so many girls as maids. There are too many maids in the mansion, and there are too many right and wrongs. It's just a burden.
Princess Qinghui saw that there were many people, so she first selected eight smart people and arranged them to work in her yard.
Ten more maids were added to Zeng's courtyard.
Thirty maids were also added to the inner courtyard and the front courtyard.
There are still more than a hundred people left, but Chu Zhai really can't accommodate them. Once they are accommodated, many people will have to live without work.
Princess Qinghui looked at Xia Zihan with some worry and said, "There are still more than one hundred and ten people. You just married into Prince Anjun's palace and you packed so many people into the palace. Even if you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law, , I'm just afraid that your mother-in-law will think too much about how you... will arrange it. Don't let a few maids cause any rift between you and your mother-in-law."
In fact, she wanted to arrange for twenty or thirty people to go to the Second Prince's Mansion as errands. However, this person was trained by Chu Yu's people. If she arranged it, she was afraid that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law would be too worried.
No married girl would let people into her parents' house, and no wealthy family would let people into the house casually.
Of course, in her heart, Chu Yu was an exception.
This group of people was trained by Chu Yu for Chu Zhai. She also believed in Chu Yu. This was for the good of Chu Zhai and was not deliberately inserting people into Chu Zhai to control Chu Zhai or anything like that.
But the Second Prince's Palace is different. Although Chu Yu saved the people in the Second Prince's Palace and has a good relationship with the Second Princess, it is not a trivial matter to block people. I am afraid that the Second Princess and Princess Mingzhu don't trust Chu Yu and will be careless. Therefore, Princess Qinghui did not say this.
With more than a hundred people, Xia Zihan also had a headache.
No matter how we arrange it, even if they are all arranged to enter Prince Anjun's mansion, I'm afraid we won't be able to accommodate so many people.
Xia Zihan rubbed her forehead and pondered for a long time before making a decision. She summoned Chu Lin, "You lead a team of 100 people and live in the three-entry house on Ertiao Street, and train them. From now on, they will Follow you.”
This means that Chu Lin should lead the team.
This team also wanted Chu Lin to train them to serve as secret whistlers.
Chu Lin's eyes lit up, she danced happily and said, "Yes, I obey."
Then, I went to pick people with great joy.
After Chu Lin picked out a hundred people, only a dozen were left. Xia Zihan took them back to Prince An's Mansion and arranged them all in his own courtyard.
It just so happened that Chu Jingqi lived in this courtyard before, and there were no maids in it. Mrs. Zhuo knew that she had a large number of people, so she was considerate and did not stuff maids here. In the past few days, all the work in the yard has been done by the dowry maids and women brought by Xia Zihan, and the maids and women she brought were Grandma Yu, Mother Cui, and six eldest maids, one and two. Waiting for the maids, there are two women who do menial work.
None of the rest were brought.
In the past few days, the ground in the yard has been swept with silk grass, the clothes have been washed with vanilla, the fire has been burned by Chu Lin, and the supper has been cooked by Grandma Yu.
It's good now. Adding these dozen maids will just in time reduce the work of Nuanyu and others.
Xia Zihan first gave four girls to serve Cui's mother.
Cui's mother was in charge of her two warehouses and all the money. Xia Zihan chose four maids who were steady, careful and alert to work for her. Cui's mother was very happy and immediately arranged their work.
Among the rest, Xia Zihan only selected three little maids who looked smart and took their place. The rest were all assigned to work in the yard, and each of them was assigned the same job.
As for her maid, she did not prepare for herself. She planned to wait for Chu Lin to retrain the one hundred people. After a year and a half, she began to slowly train the six maids around her one by one. Let it out.
Then select a few smart maids from Chu Lin and come directly to pick up Nuanyu and the others.
Xia Zihan has already made plans.
After a whole day of arrangements, Mrs. Zhuo prepared gifts and posts for her the next day, and accompanied her to the palace to visit the Queen Mother.
Because the emperor's decree was in front of them, the people in the palace did not dare to embarrass Xia Zihan. After seeing her post, they quickly sent someone to report to the Queen Mother. In less than half an hour, the eldest maid next to the Queen Mother hurried over to take her. Take them in.
The eldest palace maid is called Guan Qing, who is the confidant of the Queen Mother. She has served the Queen Mother for fifteen years. Because the Queen Mother likes her, she is not willing to let her out of the palace even at the age of twenty-five.
There was a rumor in the palace that the Queen Mother was preparing to give Guan Qing to the Emperor to serve him.
This waiter is not the maid of an ordinary young master, but a concubine, a high-ranking concubine.
Therefore, when they met Xia Zihan and Zhuo in Guanqing, they were busy wishing for their good fortune and said, "I have met the princess and the princess." Zhuo and Xia Zihan both returned the courtesy politely.
Guan Qing also accepted it with a smile.
When she met the Queen Mother, she was very happy. She held Xia Zihan's hand affectionately and asked many questions.
After asking, he was reluctant to let go, and said to Mrs. Zhuo, "You have found a good daughter-in-law. You have to thank me and the emperor for this."
Back then, if she and the emperor hadn't helped Chu Yu, Chu Yu would have become the concubine of the second or third prince.
Later, if the emperor hadn't taken the initiative to let go, Yu would have ignored the emperor's decree granting the marriage, canceled the marriage, and returned Chu Yu to Chu Jingqi, forcing Lu Guogong and Lu Guifei not to dare to have Chu Yu's idea.
Otherwise, how would Chu Yu have the chance to wait for Chu Jingqi to grow up and marry him happily, even if the child is already a few years old.
And Mrs. Zhuo remembers this feeling.
Zhuo stood up, congratulated the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for making this happen."
