Inheritance policy

Chapter 293

Extra Story|Liuchun People ([-])

March in Dingjing is uniquely beautiful.

Smoked willows draw bridges, catkins fly down the western Long, and two swallows come back in the drizzle.

The west of the city gradually felt that the scenery was good. Years ago, lanterns were painted on the wall.

The central axis of Dingjing City is the royal road, the east of the city is the most important, and the south of the city is the auxiliary. Although the two corners of the northwest are also prosperous, but when it comes to merchants trading and mutual exchange, the northwestern corners are naturally far inferior to the east and south of the city.

Therefore, when high-ranking and powerful people choose a house to live in, they usually choose the southeast. The yard I came out of is next to the Princess's mansion, if I can't live in that place, wouldn't it be obvious that I'm not capable of old Deng?
There is no one to burn the cold stoves, too many people to burn the hot stoves, the rich and powerful families in the east and south of the city are getting more and more crowded, and no one cares about it in the north and west of the city. As the saying goes, it is called "East official and Xijia". If there is any official family who is scolded in a low voice, "You deserve it, you little bastard, your ancestors have lived in the west of the city for generations", that family is afraid that they can be a few villains, and their mouths will be hurt all their lives.

Unexpectedly, everything is 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

In the fifth year of Longhua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a big family moved to the west of Dingjing, so big that no one dared to say that the east is expensive and the west is cheap.

——The second son of King Pingyang of the former dynasty, and now the upstart King of Jin, Zhou Pingning moved his family to Dongxing Hutong in the west of the city.

Is such a character considered big?

Since it is big.

The blood of the Tian family is shed, the power in the court is in charge, and the final words are spoken. He is not only a blood relative, but also a minister who has made great contributions, and he is also a rookie in the court that the new emperor relies heavily on.

The clan, nobles, and powerful officials are all enviable if taken out.

As long as someone has a good life and has all three things, even if the process is twisted and turned, as long as the ending is good, it is worth it.

However, the world is impermanent, and the joy that others say is often not the same as the joy in my heart.

The Jin Palace in the west of the city will be repaired, and the red lacquer and green tiles complement each other. In the long corridor, the blue silk holds a hollowed-out auspicious animal silver incense burner in both hands. On the ear, it is too hot to hold.

She ran fast, the fire inside was blown up by the wind, and burst out from the hollow of the incense burner.

"what!"

The flames burned to the fingertips, causing the little girl to let out a low cry.

Qingsi subconsciously wanted to shake her hands away, but suddenly remembered something, her hands froze, her heart turned upward, her eyes were filled with tears, and she suddenly felt aggrieved.

Obviously it's just a very small matter...

Why did the old nanny in the steward make such a detour for her?

Let her hold the brazier, kneel in the fire room to burn straw, and only allow her to sleep for two hours a day...

I can't tell what kind of torture, but it's these small things that she has to suffer, but others can't say anything when they ask, shouldn't a slave carry an incense burner?Shouldn't straw be burned?Shouldn't you be doing more work?

It's all right.

But why don't other maids do it?

She refused to accept it, so she turned around and asked the old nanny who was the housekeeper, and the old nanny said something eccentrically, "If you want to be noble in front of people, you will suffer when you are queen. If the prince wants to praise that little girl, you have to do it Let's see if the main courtyard should respond, no matter how much the main courtyard can say now, there are many ways to punish a little girl."

It was clear that he wanted to use her as an example to warn the little hoof of the driver who wanted to stir up trouble.

Cuizhi, who shared the room with her, told her in secret that she was afraid that she was taking the risk, after all, on New Year's Eve, the prince himself asked who cut the spring pomegranate.
She is just a new maid in the mansion, with no foundation and no backer, her parents were cruel, and she was sold to a matchmaker since she was a child. This Jinwang Mansion was only built. If you were given an errand, then do it carefully, but this careful work dragged her into the gutter instead.

Masters have different identities, only slaves take care of slaves, how can a master personally take care of a little slave, since the master eats up his heart, and then tells his subordinates to slander her, and just tidy up her bits and pieces...

His hands were hot as if being pricked by needles, and the pricks were painful.

But she didn't dare to put it down, not only did she not dare to put it down, but she had to hold it more firmly, because if the incense burner fell because of her, she might be beaten again.

Qingsi's nose twitched, the more she thought about it, the more sad she felt, the acid on the apex of her heart circled eastward, then westward, and finally she had to endure it.

She doesn't understand those things outside, but after hearing it, she can hear some truth. The princess's father is a treacherous minister. He wants to be a "wooden fan". They were all dispatched to far away places, and the concubine was also surnamed Chen. She was able to escape because of the help of her prince.

A well-informed nanny said that it was because the prince wanted to save the lives of the old prince and the princess, so he exchanged meritorious service and titles. Therefore, when the new emperor ascended the throne, others were left with a lot of money, but his family didn't even King Pingyang didn't keep his title, he took his title and stopped his salary. The old prince has been ill for several years, if it wasn't for his own prince who was still on an errand, maybe even the Pingyang Prince's Mansion in the eastern suburbs would have been confiscated...

Trading the future for a life, whether the prince treats the princess or the old prince, he is affectionate enough!
Qingsi turned her face to the side, and wiped her eyes on the front skirt that was stained with morning dew, not knowing whether she was being wronged for herself or for others.

As soon as his mind wandered, his feet followed him, he staggered, the incense burner tilted outward, and the ashes stained with sparks jumped out of the crack and onto the back of his hand.

Qingsi subconsciously, and then heard "bang dang" - the incense burner hit the ground, the ashes were scattered on the green bricks, and the ashes were blown up by the wind, as if in an instant, the corridor was full of people. Surrounded by the quiet and peaceful scent of agarwood.

Qingsi was a little dazed, and then panicked, she...she knocked over the incense burner!

"You bought it for two coins, and this small dish of incense is enough to buy ten of you!"

This is what Mammy told her.

Mammy will take the opportunity to cut her skin!
This was Qingsimu's only reaction before he froze in place, his eyes almost fascinated by gray.

"What's going on here?"

Suddenly there was a man's voice, the voice was so soft that Qingsi didn't hear it—she was squatting down with her back to the visitor, and she didn't care about the blisters from the scalding, and hurriedly turned the incense burner upright first, and then used her hands to collect the incense ash.

No one paid any attention to it, the man followed her gaze and looked down, it was a coil of incense, when it was smashed down, the coil was broken into pieces, and the incense was agarwood, which was used in the main courtyard.

She's just a little girl with hands and feet.

Zhou Pingning raised his foot and wanted to leave, but he heard the crying of a little girl behind him, "The censer has been smashed... Mammy is going to kill me..."

Zhou Pingning stopped abruptly, followed by Manager Huang, who was frightened, and then heard Zhou Pingning ask in a deep voice, "Are you from Wanzhou?"

Manager Huang subconsciously wanted to answer, but Zhou Pingning looked at the little girl squatting on the ground.

It's loud enough.

The blue silk trembled, her hands hurt, her mind was confused, and she didn't dare to turn her back, man?The nanny said that she couldn't even enter the inner courtyard for ordinary duties, and her voice was still young, so she shouldn't be a necessary steward...

"Are you from southern Anhui?"

The man asked again.

Before she had time to think about it, Qingsi hurriedly nodded like chicken pounding rice.

When Chen Xian fell, Wanzhou suffered disasters, the people at the top suffered, and the people at the bottom did not have a good life. The number of poor people who fled from Wanzhou before and after the "Evolution of [-]" suddenly increased. Not unusual.

But Manager Huang was covered in sweat.

He knew Zhou Pingning's preferences!The concubine is from Wanzhou, she hates the house and Wu, the prince doesn't even like this place in Wanzhou, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River don't even want people in the mansion, this little girl is clearly a fish that slipped through the net!

"My lord..."

Manager Huang hurried over.

As soon as these words came out, Qingsi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with her hands on the ground, not daring to raise her head!
"My lord, this girl..."

Manager Huang's voice stopped abruptly.

"Where are you from in southern Anhui?" Zhou Pingning asked in a low voice with extremely dark eyes.

"Chizhou..." The green silk trembled and trembled, trembling and trembling, trembling back.

Zhou Pingning's chest froze, he smiled softly, and asked again, "What's your name?"

"Blue silk..."

Qingsi hid her hands at the hem of her dress, tightly gripping the corner of the skirt. She was shaking all over her body, and her voice seemed to tremble in the air. Before she had time to think whether it was a blessing or a curse, she suddenly heard the man's extremely suppressed sigh , In addition to the paste, there is a tightly entangled twine in the head.

"Is that the maid who cut the pomegranate and embraced the spring?"

Qingsi hesitated for a while, then finally nodded.

Zhou Pingning also nodded expressionlessly, and his eyes fell on the hollowed-out silver incense burner on the ground. Just an incense burner, a few handfuls of ashes, and nothing else.

No trays, no padded gloves, no silver shelves.

This maid was holding the incense burner with her bare hands, how could she not be scalded all over the floor.

It is clear that someone is playing tricks.

Zhou Pingning didn't have the patience to manage the secrets of the woman's house, he raised his foot and wanted to leave, but lowered his eyes in a mysterious way, just in time to see the maid's tightly pursed mouth, and couldn't help sighing.From the beginning to the end, she never pleaded, right?Even if she jumped into the big hole dug by others, even if she could get out of the predicament with just a word from him, she always answered only when she had questions, and she didn't say much or defend herself.

Stopped under his feet, and asked another sentence out of nowhere, "Qingchou? What two words are they?"

Manager Huang suppressed his eyebrows that were about to be raised.

Seeing the man's cowhide boots going out, Qingsi breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but saw him turn back, and asked after that, and continued to reply tremblingly, "Back to the lord, it's blue. Green, silk of satin."
