    "Just looking at it, it seems that there are a few maids around you. Are they rewarded by the prince?" the old lady asked hurriedly.  Wen Wan asked Xia He and Xia Chan to come in, as well as Grandma Gu.

    The three of them came in and greeted everyone one by one.  Ping's mother nodded, secretly admiring in her heart that she was indeed a person from the royal palace, well-trained, stable and decent.  The maid next to her was nothing more than that.  Little did she know that these were all first- and second-class maids in the palace.

    "Since the prince has rewarded you with two maids, I will choose a few more maids for you. Come, this is Zi Ling, the eldest maid next to me. With her here, you can quickly become familiar with the situation in the house."  As soon as he finished speaking, the man named Zi Ling stood up.  She is very pretty and looks steady.

    After hearing Ping¡¯s mother¡¯s words, Zi Ling immediately kowtowed to Wen Wan. Xia Chan originally stood with Xia He, but quickly took a step back when she saw this situation.  After Zi Ling got up, she smiled at Xia Chan and stood together with Xia He.

    Ping¡¯s mother was even more satisfied, this maid really has a look.  It was not in vain to spend a big maid that I had trained, I wanted to give her a second-class maid.  But think about it, you can't use a second-class maid to force a first-class maid away!  But that¡¯s fine. If anything happens in the future, I will soon know it.

    "Go and settle down first, rest for a while, and have a meal together at noon." After Ping Guogong finished speaking, he left the backyard and headed towards the front yard.  Ping Mu is also tired. She has been tired for most of the morning and needs to take a nap.

    Madam Xu led Wen Wan to the Lotus Garden, introducing them one by one as they walked.  Entering the inner gate, there is a stone cave. After exiting the stone cave, you enter a stone arch. After entering, walk a few more steps.  I saw lush green trees, gleaming exotic flowers, and a clear stream that zigzagged from the depths of the flowers under the stone gaps. After walking for a while, it was flat and wide.  Looking down, the stone pedals penetrate the clouds, and the white stones serve as railings, surrounding the pond.

    The eldest lady led Wen Wan and continued walking in, passing through the hillside, walking through flowers and willows, caressing the rocks and leaning against the springs. Suddenly, she heard the sound of water flowing out of the cave.  On the top, the gong knocks down the willow trees, while on the bottom, the flowers fall and float.

    Wen Wan¡¯s eyes were dazzled when she saw it, she was so beautiful.  It's not as grand as the palace, but more luxurious and refined than the palace.  Maybe it¡¯s because my uncle doesn¡¯t live in the capital permanently!  Wen Wan thought so.

    Even Xia He and Xia Chan are a bit strange.  Mrs. Xu looked very calm, she must have seen too much.  However, looking at the slightly surprised expressions of several people, he still smiled and explained: "Our great-aunt built this house when she was away from home. Our great-aunt is the Queen. When she built this house, she also spent a lot of money.  It has been empty since then. After that, the old lady saw that it was a waste to let the eldest daughter, my daughter, move in. This lotus courtyard was renamed after her eldest daughter Qinghe.  , counting now, no one has lived in it for three years. However, there are people cleaning it. "

    "Several girls in the family have been fighting to get the old lady to agree to live in. But the old lady thought that Miss Ten had not come back, and the lotus courtyard was prepared by the old lady for Miss Ten. So she never let go.  "Ms. Xu looked at her and said with a gentle smile.

    Prepared for herself, Wen Wan sneered in her heart, thinking that she was an idiot for believing that.  Wen Wan smiled and nodded, making a gesture to show that she understood.  After walking for a while, I saw a house.  After leading people into the house, Wen Wan realized why several girls were vying to live here. It was indeed a good place.

    The house is surrounded by exquisitely carved wooden boards on all sides, with various carvings and decorations, all carved by famous hands and decorated with colorful gold and precious stones.  In the study room, there may be a place for storing books, a place for cauldrons, a place for placing pens and inkstones, or a place for vases; real flowers are clustered in clusters, clear and exquisite.

    As soon as you enter the main room, you will see one and twenty-four red sandalwood carved screens, with fine jade in the middle. The jade is also engraved with landscapes, figures, buildings, flowers and birds, etc. People are carved on each screen, and each person's facial features are carved on them.  The nose and jewelry and clothing folds are clear and delicate, making them high-quality items.  Don't even think about it if you don't have a few thousand taels of silver.

    Looking at the luxurious and expensive decorations, Wen Wan frowned, but quickly put away the strange expression.  Entering the inner room, I was dazzled again.  There are the Ping'an Ruyi official kiln porcelain vases, the blue and white plum porcelain vases on the Duobao Pavilion, and the Guanyin multicolored vase on the Duobao Pavilion and other precious antique vases.

    A few more steps and you¡¯ll find the bedroom.  Colorful and rich Kang screen, red lacquer and mother-of-pearl eight-step bed, tall rosewood carved seat mirror.  There are bright red quilts and bright red gold brocade curtains on the bed.  Looking at it again, Wen Wan is already numb.

    ??This place was used as a palace for the queen when she was visiting relatives.  But maintaining it for so many years is also a huge expense.  The entire Guogong Mansion is magnificent.  The prince's cousin said that Prince Zheng's mansion in Yizhou was bigger than the mansion in Beijing, but he didn't say it was more magnificent.  It is conceivable that a Duke's palace is actually richer and nobler than a prince's palace, which is shocking to people.

    Just after a while here, things brought from the palace were moved over there.  twentyTwo maids and women took action. Although there were many people, the work was complicated and it took a lot of trouble before it was tidied up.

    Wenwan rearranged her bedroom.  Only what should be used was kept, and most of the gold and silver ornaments, pianos and paintings were put away.

    Wen Wan vigorously chopped off the bright red and green things with gold and silver.  Objects gilded with silver, red and brightly colored are basically nowhere to be seen.  Anyway, in one sentence, she doesn't want anything that she thinks is tacky.  After tidying up, it was no longer as rich and prosperous as when I first came in, but Wen Wan looked particularly comfortable.

    And the women and maids who were assigned looked at each other.  But no one dared to discuss anything.  But I was murmuring in my heart, this lady doesn't look like a poor person.  Why is this behavior so strange?  The place where you live is so plain.

    Wen Wan only left three conspicuous porcelain vases on Duobao Pavilion: Songhe Yannian Ru Kiln porcelain vase, Yutang Fugui Ge Kiln porcelain vase, blue and white porcelain plum vase, and some small ornaments; she also hung some simple landscape paintings, a few  The big pendants were not moved either.  Then put on a few things that I brought from the palace.

    After being decorated like this by Wen Wan, although there are not as many furnishings as before, everything placed in the room is of high quality. And after being decorated like this by Wen Wan, it looks more spacious, bright and elegant!  Looking at it, it not only loses its identity, but also looks elegant and sophisticated.

    Wen Wan was cleaning up here, and the people over there got the news immediately.

    When the eldest lady got the news, she said to her daughter-in-law, "Boss daughter-in-law, this child is not an ordinary child. You should be more careful in front of her in the future."

    "Mom, I saw that the tenth girl was quite timid. When grandma told her to live with her fifth uncle, her whole body was shaking and her face turned green with fear." The eldest grandma asked doubtfully.

    "She is not afraid. She is deliberately trying to arouse the pity of the Duke. If she is timid, she is really afraid. There should be fear in her eyes, not just a shiver. I didn't see her trembling.  The Duke gave her the Heyuan Garden, which had been empty for several years. It was the best house in the Duke's mansion. I told her on the way that she didn't want to see any of the girls in the mansion.  It was prepared for her. This child's eyes were peaceful, but his heart was bright. "The eldest lady was a little surprised.  This kid is indeed smart.

    "But when she comes, she will not be happy with the old lady, nor will she be happy with her father. It goes without saying what the fifth aunt is thinking." The eldest grandma was puzzled.

    "So what if she doesn't like it? According to the old lady's thoughts, how could she take the child back? Let alone let her live in the lotus garden. You have to remember that she doesn't need to rely on the old lady, and she doesn't need to rely on you.  Uncle Wu, Mr. An, can't care about her." The eldest lady sighed secretly, there must be no peace in the house.

    "Then who does she rely on? Although she is cared for by Prince Zheng, she is still the daughter of the Taira family." The eldest grandma was a little confused.

    "Her backing is too strong, and her identity is even more sensitive. You will know it later. Remember, be kind to her when you see her. This child has a bright heart. She can't be fooled." The eldest lady raised her hand.

    In the third room, the third master asked, "How is it going? How do you feel when you see that maid?"

    ¡°I¡¯m a timid person, don¡¯t worry.¡± After hearing this, the third master breathed a sigh of relief.  Just be timid, otherwise you'll be in trouble.

    And in the fifth room, Qingshan got the news.  The best yard in the house was occupied by the mute who had just returned.  He lost his temper in the yard, "Mother, why? Why did you live in the lotus garden as soon as it opened? I have been thinking about it for more than a year, but my grandmother didn't agree. Now this mute comes back and robs the lotus garden. So good  The land is inhabited by her, I am not convinced, I am not convinced.¡±

    "Don't worry, she won't be able to live in the lotus garden for a few days." Anshi comforted her daughter.

    "Really." Qingshan's eyes lit up.  Anshi nodded affirmatively.  Qingshan stopped making trouble.  With a sneer on his lips and feet, he dares to argue with himself even though he is a stinky mute.

    With this thought, Qingshan immediately dressed up and went to the bedroom.  She said coquettishly to Ping's mother, "Grandma, my mother prepared a lot of things for sister Wen Wan, but they won't be needed now. I originally thought that when my sister comes back, she will have playmates in the future. Now that we are so far apart, I think  I can¡¯t even play with her.¡±

    "Yes, grandma, we are too far apart. It is difficult to get together. Anyway, the lotus garden is quite big, so how about we sisters live together." Qinghao was also coquettishly coquettish.

    "Grandma, you love us the most. I heard that it's warm in winter and cool in summer. Summer is coming soon and it's very hot. Grandma, please let us live in. There are more than 20 rooms in it, which are enough for us sisters.  Stay." Qing Ci also came up to join in the fun.

    Ping¡¯s mother saw her beloved granddaughters pleading.  Thinking about it, the yard is quite big, and it would be fine for Wenwan to live alone anyway.??, several sisters live together.  His expression moved.  But thinking that this was just the beginning for Wen Wan to move in, he packed in a few sisters.  This is somewhat unjustifiable.

    "I'll ask Wen Wan later. If she agrees, you can move in." Old Ping's mother relaxed.  Several people waiting nearby were surprised.  It seems that the old lady is very dissatisfied with the new lady who has returned.  The previous ladies had been grinding for so many years, but no one agreed to let anyone live in it.  Now, let them all live in.  I am not satisfied with the arrangements made by the old man.  The maid's expressions were different, but her thoughts were the same. Stay away from this tenth lady from now on.

    "Grandma, why didn't sister Wen Wan pay her respects to her mother just now? Is it because she is the princess's daughter, so she doesn't need to pay her respects to my mother." Qingshan said charmingly.

    "I didn't pay attention. She is a junior, no matter who's daughter. She is also the daughter of the fifth room now. But you have to be considerate. She has been living in the country and doesn't understand the rules. You girl is a ghost. You know.  Protect your mother." Ping's mother still likes Qingshan who is very lovable.

    "Miss, the old lady has sent me a message. Please come over and have a meal." After hearing this, Wen Wan went to freshen up.  Then I went to the upper room and the side hall.
