Chapter 78 Ignorance is dereliction of duty
Chapter 78 Ignorance is dereliction of duty
Qin Yaoguang looked at her, with something in his mouth that he didn't say out loud.
The sentence is - Many times, ignorance is also a kind of evil.
"Chun Ning."
She called her softly, her eyes showing neither sadness nor joy.
"Ah? I'm here, I'm here." Chun Ning responded quickly, "Sister, I'll send someone to find his family and return Wanmin Building to him."
Qin Yaoguang nodded and said, "This is called the Princess's Mansion, not the Prince Consort's Mansion. From now on, everything inside and outside this place must go through your hands."
Chun Ning nodded repeatedly.
"I'm afraid there are more than one or two things going on in your house."
Qin Yaoguang added: "Tomorrow morning you will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother and ask her to send a few capable people to tidy up the mansion."
It’s not that she looks down on Chun Ning. Even if Chun Ning wanted to help her, she doesn’t have the ability to do so.
She had been to this princess's mansion twice, and encountered trouble both times. There was no telling how many more things there were in places she didn't know about.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily controlled by Lu Yi.
"Okay, okay."
Qin Yaoguang said to Wan Yuchai who was still kneeling, "Get up. Go back and collect the things you have left in the Princess's Mansion. Wait at the door. When I leave, I will take you back to Wanmin Building."
Wan Yu Chai is grateful.
He thought he would just make do with his life like this, but he didn't expect that he would meet the Bodhisattva today!
He opened a restaurant in the capital. Although Wanminlou was not very big, it had many repeat customers thanks to his good cooking skills.
Over time, many old customers would come to him when they had nothing to do, order two taels of wine, fried peanuts, wind-fried chicken, cured meat and other side dishes, and sit there for an entire afternoon, chatting about everything.
Therefore, he had heard of the name of Princess Leyang very early.
According to rumors, he witnessed the entire process of the eldest princess, whose husband had been away for ten years, from being sympathized with in the beginning to being disliked for her arrogance and domineering behavior.
In particular, the way she abused her illegitimate children was spread so vividly that it seemed as if everyone had seen it with their own eyes.
Among the people, although Le Yang's reputation is not that of a "female devil", she is also a vicious woman who is ferocious, unreasonable, and willing to break people's hands and feet at any time.
I didn’t expect the rumor to be so untrue!
When he returns, he must publicize Princess Leyang’s good deeds!
Wan Yuchai knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times: "I thank Her Royal Highness the Princess Chang and Her Royal Highness Princess Chunning! I am so grateful for your kindness!"
Qin Yaoguang winked at Nanny Deng, who took out a purse and gave it to him as a reward.
Looking at Wan Yu Chai who was filled with gratitude, Qin Yaoguang said gently: "From now on, live a good life."
It's just a piece of cake.
She couldn't change anything, and it was impossible for her to say that everyone was equal, but since the matter had hit her, she couldn't just turn a blind eye.
After Wan Yuchai left, Qin Yaoguang has been in a bad mood.
As a modern person with ideas of equality and freedom, she suddenly witnessed the cruelty of class differences, but she knew she was powerless to change it, which greatly affected her mood.
It was long past nap time and she felt a little sleepy, yawning several times in a row.
Chun Ning was anxious and didn't dare to mention the matter of the Plum Garden anymore. He said, "Royal sister, if you don't mind, why don't you come with me to take a nap first?"
"What's there to dislike?"
Qin Yaoguang said lazily: "When you were a child, I held you in my arms and slept with you."
Chunning's courtyard is just like her, exuding exquisiteness and beauty in every detail.
However, you cannot go to her bedroom.
Chun Ning has a princess consort, so what does it mean to sleep in her bed?
The two of them rested on the soft couch in the warm room. It was large and warm enough for two people to sleep on.
Green smoke curled up, and the faint smell of frankincense filled the room. Chun Ning leaned sideways, looked at Qin Yaoguang and asked softly: "Royal sister, do you think I did something wrong?"
Qin Yaoguang hummed and said, "You are the master of the Princess's Mansion. If you don't know, you are derelict in your duty."
"Look at the officials whose houses were confiscated. Did their families know about the crimes they committed? Maybe their wives knew about it, but what about those living in other rooms? When they were questioned, the whole family was convicted."
Her voice became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible.
Chun Ning pricked up his ears and guessed what she meant by the last few words.
She thought about it thoughtfully, tossing and turning for a while, before finally unable to resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
The shock she had received most of today was really too great.
Nanny Deng and the maids from Princess Chunning's mansion were all standing guard outside the warm room. The breeze blew gently, shaking the flower bells under the corridor, making a pleasant sound.
The years are quiet.
Princess Chunning's personal maid Lanxiang lowered her voice and said to Madam Deng, "Madam, today is all thanks to you."
Like Bai Lu Gu Yu and others beside Qin Yaoguang, they were all trained by the Empress Dowager and married to Princess Chun Ning. Everyone is literate and has their own strengths.
Lu Yi had coveted them.
There was one good thing about Chunning: no matter what Lu Yi said, she always kept the Empress Dowager's instructions in mind and had no intention of making them his concubines.
Several maids were thinking of Chun Ning's good points while watching Lu Yi deceive Chun Ning with endless tricks. They were anxious but there was nothing they could do.
Just like in Princess Leyang's mansion, no matter how capable the maidservants were, and with Nanny Deng in charge, they could do nothing if the original owner insisted on listening to Chuntangyuan's mother and daughter.
Therefore, when Lanxiang saw Qin Yaoguang coming, she swept away all the evil spirits in the mansion and let out a sigh of relief.
Very refreshing!
Now that he finally had the chance, he confided his true feelings to Nanny Deng, hoping that the eldest princess would take better care of Princess Chunning's mansion, so that the mistress would never be fooled by her husband again in the future.
Madam Deng responded in a low voice: "Our masters are sisters, so we should visit each other more often in the future."
"That's what mama said."
Lanxiang waved her hand, and a little maid came forward holding a colorful glass cup. The cup was filled with peeled pomegranate seeds, which were crystal clear and the color was like that of pink gemstone.
In the glass cup, there is a gilded crabapple flower spoon.
"It's rare for Mammy to come here, and we don't have anything good to offer. My sisters and I couldn't bear to eat the tribute given by the master yesterday, so it's a good opportunity for Mammy to come here today, so let her try some for us."
The other party was trying hard to make friends with her, and Qin Yaoguang also wanted to take care of Chun Ning, so Nanny Deng did not refuse.
"It is worthy of being a tribute."
After eating a spoonful, Nanny Deng praised it.
Seeing that she accepted it, the smile in Lanxiang's eyes deepened.
Cats have their own ways, and mice have their own ways.
The masters have their own relationships, and the servants have their own ways of becoming servants.
The clouds that had been gathering over the capital city since the morning began to disperse a little, letting in rays of sunshine.
After eating half a cup of pomegranate, I saw a man running in from outside in a panic, opening his mouth to shout.
Madam Deng put down the glass cup, stood up and stopped them, saying in a low voice, "Be quiet! The masters are all resting. If you have anything to say, please report it quietly."
