Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Early in the morning of the second day, Yunshang and Xiao Yuanshan had breakfast together, and explained some of their itinerary plans, leaving Qinyi to wait in the mansion, and Fu transferred Qianjue back to accompany them to Zhuangzi.

Yuan Shanzhuang is located in the east of Jincheng City, about two hours away, but it is not too far. In addition, Qin Yi is careful, and has already spread thick cotton wool on the carriage, and a layer of soft fox on top. Mao, sitting is also very comfortable. Yun Chang slept all the way, and arrived at Yuan Villa before noon.

Luo Qingyan helped Yunshang get off the carriage, but his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes always looked back as if nothing. Yun Chang was a little puzzled, turned her head to look at Luo and said softly, "What's wrong, but is someone following you?"

Luo Qingyan nodded, and said with a sneer, "I've followed all the way, and I've been thinking about whether to send the hidden guards to solve it."

Listening to the displeasure in Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "If they want to follow, they will follow. You had a quarrel with Su Qi yesterday and were ordered by His Majesty not to go Tomorrow, if you leave the city and head straight for this village today, some people will definitely think wildly, thinking that His Majesty should have sent you some secret mission..."

Luo Qingyan pursed his lips, and when he heard what Yunshang said, he set his eyes on Yunshang, "Do you think you should ignore it?"

Yun Chang smiled, "I don't care what they do, if the secret guards kill people, wouldn't the people behind them make more guesses, and conclude that we must be what he thinks. It's better to keep them and influence us." It's just a distraction, and you can play as you want, so that people can't figure it out, wouldn't it be better?"

Luo Qingyan heard that Yunshang's words were full of jokes, so he laughed too, touched Yunshang's long hair, the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's just what Chang'er says."

The people in Zhuangzi had been waiting at the door early in the morning, and when they saw the cars of Prince Rui's Mansion stop from a distance, they quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Rui and Princess Rui."

Luo Qingyan supported Yun Chang and walked over, Fang suppressed the smile on his face, his face was light and cold, "Get up."

The person who knelt on the ground stood up, and the one at the front should be the steward of Yuanshanzhuang. Before coming, the steward and Yun Shang had introduced him in detail. The steward's surname was Liu, and he was a trustworthy person.

Although Liu Guanshi occasionally went to Prince Rui's mansion to report on Zhuangzi's affairs, but most of the people he met were the housekeepers. It was the first time seeing Prince Rui and Princess Rui, and he felt a little worried, bent down and said respectfully: "My lord, my concubine , the old slave has tidied up the yard according to the steward's order, and the lunch has been prepared, should the prince and princess eat first, or should they go and see the yard where they live?"

Luo Qingyan didn't speak, Yunshang asked softly: "Is Guan Liu right?"

Liu Guanshi quickly responded, "Yes, what is the princess' order?"

Yun Chang smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I'm really hungry after sitting in the carriage for so long and bumping all the way. How about this, take us to the yard and have lunch delivered to the yard." Can."

Guanshi Liu responded quickly, turned around, and the dozens of people in the back scattered to both sides. Guanshi Liu bowed to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, "My lord, my concubine, please."

Yun Chang's eyes swept over those servants lightly. The etiquette of the servants in Zhuangzi is naturally not as thorough as that in the palace, and in Zhuangzi there are only stewards and no masters, so there is no need to be so trembling, so Luo Qingyan, who is the master, agrees Yun Shang is more curious than fearful, a group of people are secretly looking at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, their eyes are full of amazement and astonishment, seeing Yun Shang's eyes looking over, they quickly lowered their heads .

Although it is winter, the winter in Xiaguo is not as obvious as in Ningguo, and you can see some green everywhere. Yunshang followed Guanshi Liu and passed through a bamboo forest, and her eyes suddenly opened up. It feels like there is a courtyard behind the bamboo forest.

It is not so much a courtyard as it is a row of houses, just four or five rooms. However, unlike the courtyard in the mansion, the courtyard is not surrounded by walls. Plantains are planted in the afternoon, and there are several trees in the courtyard. Right in front of that row of houses is a very elegant scenery.

You can clearly see the land and farmland in the distance. There are still tenants working in the field. Beyond the farmland and the land, there is a small stream. Beyond the stream is a mountain. The mountain looks like a tea garden, a piece of green .

Yun Chang took a light breath, and said with a smile: "I always feel that even the air is much fresher when I'm on Zhuangzi."

Luo Yan smiled lightly, "I never thought that it's probably because I'm not in the mansion, I don't have to think about those annoying things all the time, and I feel relaxed."

Yun Chang smiled and nodded, and followed Guanshi Liu into the main hall, where the food was already set up, Guanshi Liu said quickly: "The food in Zhuangzi is not as rich as in the Wangfu, but the food is all grown in Zhuangzi itself. In freshness, I hope the prince and princess like it."

Luo Qingyan frowned, as long as he didn't talk to Yunshang, his face was always cold, "There is no need to wait here, you can step back first, if you need anything, I will pass it on later." call."

Liu Guanshi's face was a little pale, thinking in his heart that he might have offended the biggest master somewhere, and his heart trembled.

Yun Chang smiled and said, "I'll take a nap first after eating, and I will wake up around Shen time. After waking up, I want to go for a walk in Zhuangzi. I'll trouble Manager Liu to arrange it."

Yun Shang's tone was very gentle, and Liu Guanshi hurriedly responded, and Fang retreated. After leaving the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart, the cold-faced prince really lived up to his reputation, it was really scary.

The food is indeed not as rich as in the mansion, but seeing that there are mostly green vegetables, it is refreshing and pleasant. After carefully testing the poison with a silver needle, he retreated behind Yunshang and served Yunshang with vegetables. Yunshang ate a few mouthfuls, Then I felt that it was indeed a little tastier than the ones bought in Fuchu, and my appetite also opened up.

Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Chang's appearance, then smiled and teased: "If I didn't know that you have a good appetite, seeing you like this, I would really think that I have abused you in the palace."

Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan, but ignored it.

After the two had dinner, Luo Qingyan embraced Yunshang and went into the inner room to take a nap. When Yunshang woke up, Luo Qingyan had already got up, and the bed curtain was put down. It seemed that Luo Qingyan was coming from outside. Yan's voice seemed to be instructing the hidden guard: "I knew he would not be quiet, and I couldn't sit still when I left. I must keep an eye on it. If there is any movement, I will report it immediately."

A low voice answered, and then Luo Qingyan ordered lightly: "Go down."

After a while, Luo Qingyan's voice came in from outside the bed curtain, "Shang'er is awake?"

Yun Chang lifted the bed curtain, looked at Luo and said softly, "But what happened?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and hung up the bed curtain, then sat down beside the bed, stroked Yunshang's messy hair, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, then Guanshi Liu is already waiting outside, but if you want Got up?"

Yun Chang nodded, Luo Qingyan took the shoes and put them on Yun Chang himself, and then helped Yun Chang to stand up.

Yun Shang called Qian Zhuo to come in and tidy up for her, and then went out with Luo Qingyan. Liu Guanshi personally took Luo Qingyan and Yunshang to the field, "It's winter now, and the fields are basically planted with radishes and cabbages, besides that, there are some celery and garlic."

Yun Chang nodded, she just liked the feeling of walking in the countryside, a rare leisure. There are still some tenants working in the field, Xu Shiluo Qingyan and Yunshang are too outstanding, they have received all the attention along the way.

After a few people walked around, Luo Qingyan said that it was cold outside and it was not appropriate to stay longer, and let Yunshang go back to the house.

Yun Shang drank a cup of hot tea, and then said to Guanshi Liu: "I have been checking Zhuangzi's account books a few days ago. Did your Zhuangzi change the accountant last month? Especially detailed…”

When Steward Liu heard the words, he quickly smiled and said, "It's because of the change of the accountant. It's thanks to the princess. Some time ago, the housekeeper sent a beggar woman to our village. He is literate and good at accounting, but the old slave picked up a treasure. It happened that the daughter-in-law of the original Mr. Accountant gave birth to a child, so she resigned. .”

"Beggar woman?" Yun Shang also didn't react, and turned her head to look at Qian Zhuo.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "It should be the beggar woman that the princess saw at the gate of the palace last time. The concierge said that the beggar woman always stayed at the gate of our mansion to beg. The concierge felt that it would affect the reputation of the palace, so he drove away. She didn't drive her away several times, so the concubine ordered the housekeeper to send her to Zhuangzi, maybe she was sent here."

Yunshang paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup, but it seemed that there was such a thing when he remembered it. After hearing Guanshi Liu's words, Yunshang became a little interested. A beggar woman actually did a good job. , but if you have such ability, you can find a errand to do at random and you won't end up living on the streets.

"Guard Liu, go get that..." Yun Chang thought for a while before saying, "Bring the accountant over here and let me have a look."

Guanshi Liu responded, and ordered someone to invite him.

After about a quarter of an hour, the servant came in with an old woman who looked to be in her sixties. Yun Chang's eyes fell on the old woman's face, there was no trace of disguise, and this face was indeed very strange to her. The old woman was dressed in gray coarse cloth, with a hunched back. When she walked into the room, she hurriedly saluted Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang: "Greetings, Prince Rui, Princess Rui."

Luo Qingyan glanced at her, then moved away without speaking. Yun Chang looked at the old woman carefully, and then said softly: "I heard from Guanshi Liu that you are the beggar woman who refused to leave in front of the mansion before. I have seen the account book you made. It's extremely detailed. What's your name?"

The old woman quickly replied: "The youngest husband's family name is Ying, his real name is Qian, and his name is Yanan."

Yun Chang nodded, "I'll also call you Yingmao, where is Yingmao?"

The old lady hastily said: "I don't dare, this lowly slave is originally from Yueqian City, and my family was relatively well-off in Yueqian City, but in summer, there was a flood in Yueqian City, and my family was ruined by this disaster, lowly slave Luckily he survived."

"When I was in Yueqian City, I heard that Princess Rui had a kind heart and sent a lot of money and medicinal materials to rescue the disaster. The lowly slave lost his home, so he thought of coming to Jincheng to meet our savior in Yueqian City. It's a pity that the cheap The slave has never traveled far, and got lost several times along the way, and the silver he brought was used up, so he had to beg. It was several months later when he arrived in Jincheng. The cheap slave came for the princess, and he was in the palace Begging in front of the door, I want to see the princess."

Granny Ying bowed to Yunshang again while she was talking.

"The concubine always comes in and out in a hurry, and she is surrounded by servant girls. The lowly slaves dare not go forward, but they never want to leave. Thank you for your kindness, the princess, for allowing the lowly slaves to come to this village, and for allowing the lowly slaves to see each other in their lifetime. To the princess' side."

Yunshang squinted her eyes, the city of Yueqian was flooded...

This was indeed several months ago. At that time, something happened to Yunshang, and Luo Qingyan rushed back from the Ya clan. In order to avoid panic, she ordered people to plant such an illusion in Yueqian city.

But after all, she could afford this gratitude, after all, although she was not the one who rescued the disaster, Prince Rui's Mansion also provided money and things. It's just that what Granny Ying said is solid, but I don't know how true or false it is.

It is not a strange thing for a wealthy family to be able to do accounts, and the mention of repaying kindness also explains why she has been guarding in front of Prince Rui's residence and refused to leave.

Yunshang smiled and said: "I called Granny Ying here for something. I saw that Granny Ying's accounts were doing well, and the accounts on the other Zhuangzi were all in chaos, so I wanted to call all the accountants on Zhuangzi. Let's teach them together, I want to hand over the teaching to Granny Ying, but I don't know, what does Granny Ying want?"

When Granny Ying heard the words, a look of flatteredness flashed across her face, and she quickly responded: "It's a lowly slave's honor to be able to work for the princess."

When Yun Shang heard the words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she let Granny Ying and Guanshi Liu go away.

After Granny Ying retreated, Yun Chang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan, "It sounds like a coincidence, what do you think, my lord?"

Luo Qingyan tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and then said softly: "She doesn't know martial arts."

Yun Chang nodded. She saw that Granny Ying's steps were a little heavy, and she guessed that she should not be able to fight.

"The simple-looking wooden hairpin on her head is made of agarwood." Luo said lightly.

Yun Chang paused for a moment, picked up the teacup thoughtfully, and said after a long while: "She also said that when she was in Yueqian City, her family was considered well-to-do. Maybe that hairpin is special to her. Therefore, she was begging along the way, so she was not willing to pawn the hairpin?"

Luo Qingyan nodded, and replied with a smile: "Maybe, but to be on the safe side, you'd better send someone to Yueqian City to investigate whether there is such a person."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at Qian Zhuo, "You can arrange it later, the more detailed the better."\u003c
