Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 272 Small talk
Wen shi handed a name sticker to the Prince's Mansion, wanting to meet Wen Chuji.

Soon there was news that on the Huachao Festival, Wen Churuo went to the Prince's Mansion to visit Wen Chuji in the name of visiting his sister.

Wen Chuji greeted the door in person, took Wen's hand, and said with a smile: "I have been looking forward to your coming, but you are the youngest and arrogant. If you say that in the capital, our sisters are the closest, I go in and out again." It’s inconvenient, don’t you have to be wronged to come and run a few more times?”

Wen Churuo smiled and said: "It's my sister's stubbornness that chills my mother's heart. My sister has already known her mistake and will definitely move around frequently in the future. I'm afraid my mother will not be annoyed by that time."

Wen Chuji was a little surprised. Seeing that her younger sister looked very good, her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were full of affection. The previous wind of boudoir resentment was swept away, and she knew that she was doing well now, so she sighed with a smile: "You are living with me again!" Point, my sisters, why bother to see outsiders like this."

Wen Churuo just looked around, and said softly: "That's why I don't like to come. If we are at home, we sisters can talk as we like, so free. But when we get here, we have to abide by the rules of the Prince's Mansion."

Wen Chuji's expression also darkened.

She was favored by His Highness the Crown Prince again, but she was only a side concubine after all, and the mistress of the Prince's Mansion was still the Crown Princess.There are royal rules in the royal family, not only the sisters can't be as close as other people when they meet, but there is no telling how many of them are the eyes and ears of the prince, and how many are the eyes and ears of the princess.

It is necessary to be cautious in words and deeds, otherwise the crown princess is not a vegetarian, so Wen Chuji can only kneel and be punished, no matter whose daughter she is, or how she coaxes the crown prince to be happy in private , in front of the rules, even the prince would not dare to be selfish.

Wen Chuji quickly returned to normal, and smiled lightly: "I see that you run the house in the Chen family in an orderly manner, and you are usually the one who pays the most attention to rules, so I don't worry about you making mistakes, even if it is for me. There is also someone who speaks, you shouldn't be afraid of any rules. The princess heard that you were coming, so she specially called a few cousins ​​to the house to talk with her. Don't delay here, just follow me to see the empress. "

The princess is the hostess. If it is an ordinary family, Wen Churuo is not qualified to be the guest of the prince's mansion.The concubine's relatives are not considered serious relatives, so they can be ignored.

This is for Wen Xiang and the crown prince's face, so he treats Wen Churuo as a guest.But when guests enter the door, they must first meet the host.

Although it's not that Wen Churuo doesn't envy the glory and wealth of the Prince's Mansion, just because of this, she has lost her heart to marry into the royal family as a side concubine.She couldn't stand his concubine's contemptuous and contemptuous eyes from his first wife, so she would rather marry into a small family as a wife, just to be at ease.

Then followed Wen Chuji into the main hall.

The concubine's surname is Xu, she is 27 or [-] years old, and her appearance is only delicate, far less gorgeous than Wen Chuji.Not only that, but she dresses very simply, wearing half-worn home clothes. If they don't know that she is a princess, others will only think that she is the grandma of an ordinary wealthy family.

She has a peaceful temperament and looks very amiable.At this moment, she was holding a little boy carved in pink and jade in her arms, and she was gently feeding him egg custard.

Wen Churuo paused, subconsciously looking at Wen Chuji.She knew that this little boy was none other than Wen Chuji, the only son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the current Emperor Grandson Xi Geer.

If Wen Churuo had raised a son for Su Manman, she knew very well the subtle psychology of his first wife.After all, it is the husband's other woman's child, there is no reason to treat it as her own, no matter how much she loves her, no matter how much she loves her, she will never treat her as her own son.The elder sister is also shrewd and clever, so how can she put her mind at ease and leave brother Xi to the care of the crown princess?

However, Wen Chuji didn't see Wen Churuo's inquiring eyes in a daze, and she didn't seem to see Xu's meticulous care of brother Xi, her eyes were indifferent, as if it wasn't her son at all, but just holding Wen Churuo's son. Taking a few steps forward, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, my concubine's younger sister has come to pay her respects."

Xu's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, her voice soft and waxy, and she said with a smile: "Get up quickly and let me take a look. I saw Miss Liu once when I was talking. I haven't seen you for a few years. You are married, and I am getting old."

If Wen Chu stepped forward to pay respects, then let Xu look at her.Naturally, she didn't dare to look at Xu shi wantonly, she only smiled gently, with the pampered attitude of a little daughter.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's the [-]th change of the female university. The sixth girl is more beautiful and more beautiful than before. A few days ago, I heard His Highness mention..." She paused slightly, smiled gently, and moved away Topic: "It's rare for you sisters to meet each other, so it's easy to talk. Sixth girl, don't be polite, treat this as if you are at home, and do whatever you like. Sister Ji, you are not allowed to control her."

Wen Chuji and Wen Churuo got up to answer, Wen Chuji still said coquettishly: "The concubine does not follow me, why does the empress only love her when she sees the concubine's younger sister, and is afraid that the concubine will bully her? The empress does not know that she has always been arrogant. Was she the one who bullied my concubine?"

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Xu couldn't even close her mouth from ear to ear. She looked at Wen Churuo and said, "Your big sister is the sweetest, as if she has been smeared with honey. If we don't listen to her, we will bully her." .”

Wen Churuo said with a smile: "Eldest sister is too arrogant at home. It's because the mother has trained her properly, so the elder sister is so sweet-hearted. The courtiers don't dare to bully her, so the empress can rest assured."

The crowd laughed again.

Xu's tears came out of her smile, she pointed at her and said to Wen Chuji: "Miss Six's mouth is even more incredible, I see it is ten times stronger than yours, I don't care, my sisters are up and down, make trouble as you like Go, just cry and ask for a beating."

Wen Chuji flattered Mrs. Xu, and then saluted Mrs. Xu and exited the main hall. He walked all the way and said to Wen Churuo: "Your Majesty's cousins ​​will arrive later, so follow me to the side hall." Sit down."

Even though it was just such a hasty side, Wen also knew that her eldest sister lived in fear in the prince's mansion, and she was not as graceful and luxurious as she showed on the surface.It can be seen that everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has a bunch of yellow lotus wrapped in a bun of honey.

The two sisters sat down for a while, but Wen Churuo was too embarrassed to speak.

Wen Chuji was not so deeply moved. He asked the maid to paint the tea and sent it out, and then said to Wen Churuo: "Don't take the words of the crown prince and concubine to heart, it's just a thing to send out. No matter how she jumps around, it doesn't matter to you. It's fine if she's honest, but if she's not, I'll let people ruin her reputation."

Wen Churuo was puzzled by what he said, and asked Wen Chuji, "Your Majesty, you mean something, who is she talking about?" It's not that she doesn't understand these women who say half a sentence and leave half a sentence, and secretly play tricks, But she didn't think about it for a while, and then she realized that half of Xu's words were intentional.

Wen Chuji sighed with a smile: "It's best to pretend to be confused. It's the best. No matter how capable Su Manman is? No name, no role, that's it."

Wen Churuo's complexion was not very good. After a long while of stalemate, he rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and then said: "Unexpectedly, even His Royal Highness would mention her, and she is really capable."

Wen Chuji said disapprovingly: "Is it because she is worthy? It's not that the Ninth Prince has the money to burn it. Please ask the current saint to go to the Laoshizi hot spring. It's like a elixir, and it's almost a direct way to become a fairy." The sage is interested, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wanted to have fun. He went to Huangzhuang, and he couldn’t forget it when he came back. He praised that it was like a fairyland in the sky. But besides the word food and sex, what else can there be? Besides, Sumanman has What credit? It's not that the Ninth Prince asked someone to plan it. He just does what he says Su Manman does. I heard that she and the uncle are still inseparable. Don't be kept in the dark, you don't know anything, even though you can't I take her too seriously, but I can't help but take her seriously, if this man's heart is wild, it's the worst thing to take back..."

Wen Churuo smiled wryly, didn't mention how she and Chen Yunzheng were, but only asked Jing Yunxian: "How is the relationship between the Ninth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently? He is only busy with hot springs recently, is there nothing else going on?"

Speaking of this, Wen Chuji knew more than Wen Churuo, and said: "Their brothers have always been like that, His Royal Highness is gentle, and has a good relationship with any brother. Recently, the Ninth Prince got a lot of new things from the south. The two reciprocate courtesy, and I see that they are closer than before. He is not only busy with hot springs, but I heard that he is taking care of some business now. Although it is not under the control of the household department, it is his private property after all. The Holy One just turned a blind eye. One eye, let his temper make trouble, it turned out to be the Department of Student Accounts, which has changed many products into franchises, whoever wants to get involved, has to pay him..." Wen Chuji thought for a while, and then said: "Deal What kind of franchise fee..." She counted a few things with her fingers: "Salt, tea, and iron art are not allowed for him to touch. If there is a suspicion of stealing, he bought other things, such as brocade forging, spices, jewelry, wine, Rouge rice and so on..."

The more Wenchu ​​listened, the more frightened he became.

If Jing Yunxian monopolizes and controls most things, how can other businesses survive?Do all businesses have to live on his breath?
If this is the case, even her original idea of ​​doing business with Chen Yunfang's money will come to nothing.

Wen Churuo said anxiously: "How can there be such a reason, he is grabbing the business, do others still want to live?"

Wen Chuji glanced at Wen Churuo strangely, and said, "You are now concerned about economic matters. Didn't you say that money is a thing of the past, which is vulgar?"

Wen Churuo bit her lip and said nothing.

Wen Chuji didn't get serious with her any more, and just said: "It's not considered stealing other people's business. The distance between the north and the south is long, the traffic is inconvenient, and the road is uneasy. There are many small merchants huddling together to buy goods. He just played a leading role, ensuring the safety of the goods on the road, and barely charged a little shipping fee. Besides, those small businessmen can hug his thighs, which is more secure than before, so I beg him to return It's too late..."
