Chapter 158 The Lantern Festival
The big goose refers to Concubine Huo, she wears a jeweled spider hairpin on her head, you can't see it unless you look closely.Even though she already knew that ancient spider-shaped headdresses were common, it still felt weird to see someone wearing them.I don't know if she noticed her gaze, Princess Huo turned her head and smiled at Zhuhua, Zhuhua immediately responded with a smile, but the word "Black Widow" inexplicably flashed in her heart.

In order to hide her emotions, she immediately lowered her head and said to the big goose: "This spider, there are many of this spider at Auntie's house."

"I know." The big goose whispered, glanced at Zhuhua eagerly, pulled her skirt, and whispered in her ear after Zhuhua squatted down: "Are you the spider lady?"

who?Zhuhua asked in her heart.At some point, Ji Wang walked up to the two of them and explained in a low voice: "I told Big Goose that you thought of the Spider Lady, but she still remembered it."

When the big goose heard King Ji's words, it couldn't help but scolded: "Father, you can't be so loud, the monster will hear it."

Zhuhua now understood that she was talking about the spider lady, she probably didn't understand the meaning of what King Ji said and thought of her as a spider lady, even though she felt that she was not like a spider lady at all.

"I won't tell others." Goose whispered, although everyone else heard it.At first, King Ji said that those spider dolls were all made by Zhuhua, but she didn’t understand. Later, when she heard King Ping called her Zhu’er, she understood that she was the spider mother, and these dolls were her children. changing.

Seeing her appearance as a young adult, Zhuhua couldn't help boasting: "What a smart and good child."

The big goose hooked the corners of its mouth triumphantly, as if it wanted to laugh but tried not to.King Ji couldn't help but hugged her in and kissed her in his arms.

"Xiao Liu, what are you talking about?" Yang Chengjian couldn't help asking when he saw them talking lively in the corner.

Ji Wang immediately hugged the goose and told what happened just now.Yang Chengjian knew that some strange dolls became popular in the capital a few years ago, but he didn't know that there was a story in it, and the children seemed to like this story quite a bit.After King Ji finished speaking, several children cast fiery gazes at Zhuhua.Yang Chengjian didn't call Zhuhua to come forward and ask carefully, everyone took their seats just after the banquet started, and they finished the meal lively.

After dinner, the group went to the city gate to watch the dragon lantern dance.On the way past, there was a child who remembered what happened just now, and when he walked up to her, he said, "Aunt Seventh King, I like Six Spiders the most."

Immediately another child said, "I like the three spiders."

While Zhuhua was distinguishing who the talking children were, she was thinking about what abilities the spiders they were talking about corresponded to, and silently complained why everyone said a few spiders but not a few babies?Is it easy to confuse it with another greedy animal?
But when they got to the city wall, their thoughts were all on the street below the city gate like a Milky Way, and the golden dragon that was about to jump into the Milky Way.A group of children were very happy to see the dragon lantern dancing. Even the big goose who had a cold face all the way clapped his hands vigorously. Almost laughed.

After watching the dragon lantern and leaving the palace, it was late at night, many children were sleepy, and the big goose had already fallen asleep in King Ji's arms. Zhuhua looked around and found that King Ji was also the only prince holding a child.

"King Ji loves his daughter very much." On the carriage home, Zhuhua said to King Ping.

"When we have a daughter, I will love her more than Brother Six."

"That's not okay, my daughter will be spoiled by you. Let me just put my words here. I have spent half my life pretending to be a bad face to scare children. I will not play black faces for the rest of my life. I have to let me do this thing of spoiling children." , I will leave it to you to teach the children."

"What if I can't teach well?" Ping Wang pretended to be embarrassed.

Zhuhua glanced at him with a sneer, and said kindly, "Don't worry, I will teach you."

King Ping wanted to laugh, but his face was still sour, frowning very sadly.

Seeing her like this, Zhuhua said worriedly: "Children should not be spoiled."

King Ping reluctantly nodded, and said timidly: "I will try my best."

It seems that she still has to do the job of scaring children, Zhuhua thought to herself.

After returning to the palace, King Ping naturally put his arms around Zhuhua's waist after freshening up. Zhuhua was really tired at the moment, so she pressed his hand, frowned and said, "I have a headache now."

This is not a real headache, King Ping knew it, but he still asked worriedly: "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

"No need, just lie down overnight." Zhuhua said hastily.

"Then you lie down." King Ping supported Zhuhua to lie down, and then hugged her waist close to her.

Damn, how can I sleep like this, Zhuhua thought in embarrassment.But she was really tired, she fell asleep shortly after laying down, King Ping still wrapped her arms around her waist, but just when she wanted to turn over, he took advantage of the opportunity to hold her in his arms.When Zhuhua woke up in the morning, she found that she was sleeping on the outside of the bed with her back facing King Ping yesterday, but now she was sleeping on the inside of the bed facing King Ping.What happened in the middle?Zhuhua thought in a daze.

Noticing that the person in his arms had woken up, King Ping asked in a hoarse voice next to her ear, "Zhu Er, does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zhuhua replied without thinking.

Then she discovered that she still had to be careful when answering questions early in the morning and late at night, otherwise she would be wiped out and wiped out without crying.

"Ugh……"

Zhuhua, who was sitting in front of the mirror and doing her makeup, let out a long sigh. She was still a little bit lost. She suddenly thought that maybe women in ancient times gave concubines to men, which was not necessarily a compromise of male rights. Maybe it was for self-protection. ?In Zhuhua's impression, once a week is enough for a man and a woman, even if they are newly married, they don't need to come every day, do they?
"Princess, what's the matter with you?" Qiu Chu, who helped her tidy up her clothes, couldn't help asking.

Zhuhua thought for a while and said: "I just feel that the prince is a little free and wants to find something for him to do, but I don't know what to do with him."

Hearing what Zhuhua said, Qiuchu also thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anything the prince could do.Then she thought again, does the prince still need to do something?But even Zhuhua is doing things, the prince should be doing things, right?
Before she could figure it out, Zhuhua asked, "Are your affairs going well these few days?"

"It's easy." Qiuchu replied immediately.

Before Zhuhua got married, King Ping had said that she would be in charge of the house, and he also called over some affairs and the main stewards of the mansion for her to look over.At that time, Zhuhua didn't want to say much, she just said that she didn't understand, but she would have a capable aunt who was married as a dowry, and this aunt was talking about Qinglan.Although Zhuhua didn't take care of the affairs of the mansion these days, on the first day she got married, Xiao Lin who was next to King Ping had already asked all the stewards in the mansion to meet Qing Lan, and handed over all the affairs. It seems that Zhuhua didn't have time to stand up, and this matter was done.

Zhuhua really wanted to stand up, but the people below were so obedient, she was too embarrassed to scare them again.

Prince Ping's Mansion has always had a simple population and few properties under its name, so there is no conspiracy.Xiao Lin and Chang Ban who followed King Ping were servants. Chang Ban's original name was Chang Ping, but he changed his name to conflict with King Ping's title.He was straightforward, and King Ping didn't often take him by his side to serve him, so he let him hold the utensils in the mansion.But apart from this work, he often walks around the mansion. If he sees someone who is careless, he will report to Queen Ping to drive this person out. The people in the mansion have always been afraid of him.Also because of him, many of the remaining waiters in Prince Ping's Mansion were purchased over the years, and some treacherous and dissident ones had been kicked out long ago.

Compared with Chang Banyi, Qing Lan and the others who look at their kind faces are like living Bodhisattvas.Besides, King Ping didn't like maidservants, he always had only young servants in his courtyard, and the few maidservants in the mansion were either married or inconspicuous, it was hard for a group of servants, even if they wanted to talk to each other internally, they couldn't find anyone to talk to.But now it’s all right, Zhuhua has brought many maidservants, looks, they don’t look like they brought her as a housekeeper, but they are much more upright than the original ones in the mansion, except for Qiuyun and the two aunts. Xiao didn't need to think about it, they could choose the rest, and some of them even fell in love with one of them at a glance, and now they are thinking of a way to pass the word to the top to make this happen.

Zhuhua did not expect that besides King Ping, there were so many young men whom she hated to marry in this mansion.

In the afternoon, Zhuhua gathered the people in the mansion and counted them. She knew all the stewards, big and small, and now many people including her had changed.Shixiang is in charge of needlework, Qinglan is in charge of personnel affairs, Qiuyun is in charge of half of the house's purchases and half is in Chang Ban's hands, Qiuchu and Zhuhua's other three personal maids are in charge of the affairs of Zhuhua's courtyard.

Now the shops and workshops outside are on track, and Qiuyun has also taught a few useful people in the past few years, so after Zhuhua got married, he handed over the shop to them, and returned to Zhuhua to serve her.She is also a woman with children, and she doesn't want to continue to show her face outside.Seeing that she has worked hard all these years, Zhuhua wanted to reward her for her kindness, so she asked her if she would help her child get out of slavery, but Qiuyun went back to discuss it with her man but he did not agree.

According to the law, after being enslaved for three generations, she cannot become an official. That is to say, even if her child is out of slavery, she will not be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official. At most, she will open a shop and become a shopkeeper.Qiuyun has also understood over the years that the business is not easy without a backer, so it is better to record it under Zhuhua's name, anyway, Zhuhua has always treated them generously, and it is better to follow her than go out on her own.Zhuhua didn't force her, anyway, Qiuyun's child is still young, so this matter is not urgent.

After ordering people, Zhuhua discovered the matter of King Ping's yang and yin decline, she didn't think about it, but she felt fortunate that she personally proved that Ping Wang is a womanizer, otherwise it would be easy for this bachelor's house to have so many servants It makes people want to be crooked.

Zhuhua didn't say what should be taught, as long as she sat there, Qinglan would show up and say what she wanted.Shixiang stood beside her with a proud face. Now she no longer considers herself a lady of the big family, and only wants to take care of the affairs assigned to her as an aunt.In the past, she helped Zhuhua manage a fake sewing room in Cheng's mansion. The reason why she called it fake is because the staff in it actually belonged to Zhuhua. They just made clothes for the masters in the mansion, and most of the time they helped Bead flower shop work.When Zhuhua got married, they all followed her.These girls who have been taught by Shixiang to be shuilingling are also the most attractive to the servants in the mansion.

However, the young servants with higher vision are all staring at the four big girls beside Zhuhua. Needless to say, at the beginning of autumn, she has been with Zhuhua for the longest time. If I marry her, maybe I will be in charge For the rest of the autumn season, autumn engravings, and autumn slips, the autumn season has followed the bead flowers a little longer, and the autumn engravings and autumn slips have only been here for a year, and they are still young.The maids next to the master usually don't match at a young age, they can't wait for so many years.

Qiuchu didn't know that her peach blossom season had arrived, and after Zhuhua finished her training, she accompanied Zhuhua to the next courtyard.

The courtyard where Zhuhua lives now is called Minghua Courtyard. King Ping has lived in this courtyard since he lived in Pingwang Mansion, and it has always been called this courtyard.At the beginning of Qiuqiu, Zhuhua learned a few words. When she heard the name of the courtyard, she told Zhuhua that she was destined to marry Prince Heping, and even the name of the courtyard favored her.Zhuhua didn't think so much, the courtyards of Prince Ping's mansion all had the character "Ming", probably Prince Ping himself liked this word.There are three large courtyards on the back side of Minghua Courtyard, namely Minghui Courtyard, Mingrun Courtyard and Mingze Courtyard.After Zhuhua walked around, she finally lingered in Mingze Courtyard for a long time.

When it was time to finish dinner, she took King Ping to walk around the house to digest food, and took the opportunity to say: "An Lang, I walked around the yard today, but I think Mingze Courtyard is well-built, why don't you give me the yard? Bar?"

King Ping didn't understand what she meant, so he said, "You can use whichever room Zhuhua wants in the courtyard in this mansion, you don't need to ask me."

As soon as Zhuhua heard it, she knew that King Ping didn't understand what she meant, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "I knew that Anlang would agree. I thought that although we two were married, we should have our own courtyards. There are so many courtyards in the mansion. It's a pity, why don't we each live in one room."

King Ping immediately understood. Although he didn't know the reason, he immediately replied: "Pearl, if you are afraid that the yard will be wasted, we can live in one room this month and the other room next month. If we live in one by one, we can live in one room." Don't waste it."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. That's right, I think we always do our own things, and there are some things that even husband and wife can't tell the whole story."

"No, I guarantee that I didn't do such a thing." King Ping said with a look of fear, afraid that Zhuhua wouldn't believe it, he added, "If Zhuhua doesn't believe it, I can swear it."

"No need." Zhuhua hurriedly stopped him, and said straightforwardly: "I just mean that we don't have to live in the same room every night, you see, there will always be times when I feel uncomfortable, when the time comes..."

"Zhu Hua doesn't have to worry, I can sleep on the couch outside." King Ping said after taking her words.

Zhuhua still didn't give up, and said, "I have quite a lot of things, and it would be better to have another yard."

"It's simple. I can move my things to other yards and leave the space for you."

After thinking of such a way, what else can Zhuhua do?Late that night, she really wanted to tell King Ping that she thought the things he moved to other yards were not his things but him, but unfortunately she couldn't open her mouth until she fell asleep.On the contrary, King Ping kissed her sweaty hair, thinking introspectively whether he should be more restrained, otherwise it would be bad for her to sleep in a separate room with him.
