Chapter 551: Visit the new palace
Chapter 551 Visiting the New Palace
The new Pingning Palace is located in the new area developed in the east of the city, close to the Jinglu Canal, so it is adjacent to the camp of the Pingning Prefecture Navy.
Arriving at Prince Pingning's Mansion, as soon as he got off the carriage, he could see a contiguous new house when he looked around, which was magnificent and magnificent.
At this time, many members of the Lin clan had gathered in front of the palace, all of whom came to visit the new palace.
Chu Nanzhi helped Lin Jinxiao go forward, and saw her second uncle Tan stroking the white marble lion in front of the door fondly, and sighed: "If I can live in this palace in this life, even if I die now, it will be worth it." of."
The third uncle Lin Yuan is very bored with the second child and his wife now. Hearing her strange words, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he couldn't help but slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground: "You If you have this blessing, you won’t even have to open a clinic and ask people for prescriptions.”
"Hey, you, third child."
Mrs. Tan was about to refute, but when she saw Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi coming over, she immediately stopped talking, and said with an earnest expression on her face, "Jinxiao, Nan Zhi, this royal residence is really magnificent. But blessed."
After a pause, she smiled embarrassingly, and continued: "A hundred years ago, the heirs of the Pingning Palace did not distinguish between you and me. The whole family lived in the Palace and it was very lively. Ding Xing is very prosperous, and now these children and grandchildren are scattered everywhere, and they are no longer as prosperous as they used to be, which is really a pity."
Carefully looking at Lin Jinxiao, Tan smiled stiffly and said, "Jinxiao, uncle doesn't mean anything else, even if your family moves into the palace in the future, you should go back to Chongrenfang to have a look. If you don't have anything to do, you should come to the palace more, I'm afraid Nanzhi girl in the palace can't take care of her, but it's just that us elders can help Nanzhi with housework."
Listening to these words, Lin Tingzhen and Zhou's couple directly sank their faces.
"In the past, my nephew and niece-in-law lived in Chongrenfang and didn't see the second aunt rushing around the door, but now they have good intentions. Those who don't know think that the second aunt came to the palace to beat the autumn wind."
Mrs. Zhou reprimanded directly with a cold face.
"Daughter-in-law Ting Zhen, what are you talking about?"
Before Mrs. Tan could say a word, Lin Tingzhen said with a straight face and loudly: "Okay, I'm not afraid of being embarrassing. The palace has Yin Shaofu and the head servant to help Nan Zhi with cooking. What kind of trouble does Second Aunt need?"
Looking at Lin Jinxiao with an uncertain expression, Lin Tingzhen didn't bother to pay attention to the old woman anymore, so he hurriedly went up to her and asked for instructions: "Jinxiao, everyone is almost here, so let's go to the house earlier."
Yin Liuxuan also gestured respectfully: "The servants and handymen of the palace are already waiting in the main hall, and are waiting to see brother and sister-in-law."
Lin Jinxiao's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and with a warm smile, he turned his head to look at Chu Nanzhi beside him.
"Then let's go in."
Chu Nanzhi asked Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi to lead Xiao Bao and Chang Lao and Nie Lao to walk in front, while she pretended to support Lin Jinxiao and walked slowly behind.
Go up a few steps and enter the main entrance. The first thing you see from the five gates is the exquisite turrets everywhere, scattered around the main hall of the palace, which is solemn and solemn, but also has a unique aesthetic feeling.
Thinking that Tang Yuanxi would live in this palace soon, Chu Nanzhi just raised his head and was about to ask how to settle her down, when Lin Jinxiao whispered in her ear: "The backyard of the palace is farthest from the main hall. The yard is separated from the back garden, and Princess Yuanxi will live there in the future, so that it will not disturb the cleanliness of our family."
"The last house in the back garden?"
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, jokingly said: "Are you worried that I will spoil your good deeds, so you deliberately put her in such a remote place?"
Looking at the entire front yard, there are five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, and there is no shortage of yards. Those who don't know it think that a princess like herself is treating others poorly.
Lin Jinxiao curled his lips disapprovingly: "I'm worried that she will ruin our good business."
He really didn't want this person to appear in front of him all day, so he arranged it far away.
"It's better to tidy up the side courtyard for her, so that Princess Qian won't make trouble again."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with burning eyes, and said seriously: "If you don't have her in your heart, I won't have any worries even if you put her by my side, but if you have her in your heart, no matter how much you put her Far, I also won't feel at ease."
After thinking about it, she added after deliberation: "As soon as she is in the palace, you put her behind the back garden. It is extremely inconvenient to go out of the palace on weekdays."
"Anyway, you will take care of the affairs of the palace, and she is just a servant of the palace. You can settle it however you want."
Lin Jinxiao felt a little angry, and he didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he had to follow her arrangement.
Yin Liuxuan sent someone to lead Chang Lao Nie and his party to enjoy the scenery in the back garden of the palace, while he returned to Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi to discuss matters together in the main hall.
Following closely beside the two, Yin Liuxuan reported carefully: "Brother and sister-in-law, in the past few days, I have asked Captain Chen to dispatch 800 personal guards to guard the five gates of the mansion, and the rest are stationed at the foot of Nanhua Mountain. .”
"Well, we are very relieved to leave these matters to Erlang. You can make arrangements."
Chu Nanzhi turned his head and looked at the five gates behind him and the guards on the turrets. Only Lin Jinxiao could think of building both the palace and the state capital on the banks of the Jinglu Canal.
Let the entire palace serve as a barrier for the entire city. Once encountering an enemy situation, the officials of the palace and the state government will be the first to face the enemy.
Yin Liuxuan saw that the couple had no objection, and hesitantly asked: "The two Princesses and Xiao Shizi are still young, can you arrange separate courtyards for them?"
"No need."
Chu Nanzhi thought of Lin Jinxiao's words just now, and replied cautiously: "Clean up the courtyard next to the main hall, and let the little treasures live here temporarily."
Although many of the palace servants sent this time were selected by the Empress Dowager, what she saw and heard these days made her realize that there were inevitably some spies mixed in.
Right now, she still doesn't know the basics of these palace people in the mansion, so she is really worried about letting the servants and maids serve these little ones alone.
This is exactly what Lin Jinxiao wanted. He is very satisfied with the maids and servants who are serving in the old house these days, except Caiwei and lotus. The young servants will be promoted, and the rest will be promoted slowly."
"Yes, my brother wrote it down."
As soon as Yin Liuxuan finished speaking, he saw a group of people walking out slowly from the main hall.
Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw that there were dense crowds of people moving around. She had to manage so many people in the future, and she felt a sense of tension and oppression in her heart.
Being a princess is really not an easy task. I only hope that there will be less intrigue in this mansion in the future.
