"Miss Jiu means that everyone will arrange these women to the concubine's residence?" Madam Yuan looked at the courtyards that were obviously of size and distance on the drawings and frowned slightly, "But wouldn't this be more favorable than the other?"
"Yes! Everyone wants to live in a big and spacious yard, but the mansion is so big and there are so many yards. You can't change the layout of this yard for them now!"
"Miss Nine said, but the Queen's intention should be treated equally... If the distribution is done like this, it will go against the Queen's original intention!"
"Why do you have to assign them? You can't just let them choose? What kind of yard to live in depends entirely on their ability!"
"Miss Jiu means that there is no need to be allocated to this yard. When the prince's women come back, they will choose it themselves?"
Xu Shu nodded, "If we are assigned, we don't like everyone's preferences, and secondly, we don't know who is close to whom. Even if we treat everyone equally, it will be difficult to satisfy everyone in the end. The Queen worked hard to handle all this, not to complain to others in the end! We simply arranged these yards and let them choose where they want to live, and whoever they want to live next to whom they want!"
"But... But what if two of them or a few of them make a fuss about one of the yards?" Madam Yuan hesitated, "The yard here is good and bad, and no one wants to live in a bad place!"
"Of course no one wants to live in a bad yard. Everyone wants to live in a good yard! But that's all just thinking about it. On the surface, what to do is another matter! They just returned to Beijing and started arguing about a yard. In the eyes of the prince and the queen, what would the prince and the queen think? Do you think such a person is worthy of living in this yard?" Xu Shu pointed to the yard that was theoretically owned by the princess.
Madam Yuan suddenly realized, "Yes! Everyone is not aware of their identities now, and they are staring at the position of the princess and trying hard to fight for it. How could they make a reputation for being ignorant of these trivial matters? No one will start arguing about fighting for a good yard!"
Xu Shu nodded, "Not only will it not cause a quarrel, but will rush to choose those bad yards to leave a good impression on everyone!"
Madam Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Jiu is still considering it carefully. No wonder the Empress ordered Miss Jiu to do this. She is more comprehensive than the old slave. According to the old slave, she may have to do something about the layout of the yard. A good yard will be arranged in the second-class layout, and a worse yard will be arranged in a better way to balance it in this way!"
"The nanny's method is also very thoughtful. Let's arrange it according to the nanny's idea. At that time, the women who choose a poor yard will be grateful to the Queen for her intentions! Everyone will be happy!"
Madam Yuan nodded, "Just as Miss Ninth wishes!" Madam Yuan put away the drawings, looked at the yard in the middle, and suddenly said, "I don't know who has the blessing to live in this yard!"
"That depends on their ability!"
Madam Yuan smiled, "That depends on the skills of each family!"
At this time, each household must not work hard to compete for it!
"So at this time, we should not be able to make people feel that the Empress is biased!"
"I understand that I will arrange all the yards in a proper way, and no one can find any fault!"
The queen was relieved to do things, so Xu Shu was relieved to do it, so she let Madam Yuan do everything. She took advantage of the fact that the spring scenery was not over and she traveled around the renovated Pingning Palace.
It has to be said that Prince Long'an died at a good time, so that Zhou Jin could return to Dayin at the best time of the year and see the most beautiful scenery in the capital. The mansion was full of exquisite craftsmanship and carvings, and no one was inattentive. Zhou Jin should probably be satisfied, not only with this mansion, but also with the satisfaction of the mansion that is everywhere.
Finally, the Pingning Palace was arranged before the Buddha's birthday. Xu Shu reported the details of the empress one by one. The empress was very satisfied and told the emperor that even though the emperor was dissatisfied with the return of the king of Pingning, he knew that he could not criticize these trivial matters, so the empress's arrangement was the most appropriate. So he was grateful for the empress's efforts. He heard that the empress praised Xu Shu for her careful work, and felt that the empress was asking for rewards for her niece of her parents' family, so she gave gold, silver, jade, silk and satin as a reward. These rewards happened to be sent to the Zheng family on the Buddha's birthday.
This day was the first festival after the national funeral, so it was particularly lively. When Mrs. Zheng came back from worshiping Buddha, she heard that the emperor gave Xu Shu a lot of things. She felt a little unhappy. She turned around and heard that Xu Shu had divided the rewards she received. The master in the mansion, no matter how big or small, had a share. Even she gave two pieces of material and a glass bottle.
The old lady was angry when she saw the things Xu Shu gave her. Is she showing off to herself? Showing off not only won the queen's favor, but also get rewards from the emperor? Do you think she is like those who are not open-minded? Will she be bribed by her? In the future, with the support of the queen, she will have to look at her face? The Zheng family has never had a place for her as an outsider! Since she is an outsider, she should not stay in the Zheng family!
The old lady looked horizontally and felt that the things were annoying, and snorted coldly, "Teath, I'm going to give you this material!" As soon as she looked up, she saw Feiyan standing at the door, she changed her words, "You and Feiyan are one by one!"
The thrush looked at the material, one was a piece of crimson purple and one was indigo. It was obvious that it was specially selected for people like the old lady who had entered the grade...
Feiyan happily stepped forward and hugged a piece of material in her hand, "Thank you for the reward of the old lady!"
The thrush also took the remaining indigo-green material, "I thank the old lady for the reward! I will take this vase to the warehouse first!"
The old lady waved her hand, "Go!"
Huamei was holding a vase and was about to go out, but someone said outside, "Old lady, Mrs. Qian San and Mrs. Qian Wu are here to pay tribute to you!"
"Please come in!" The old lady glanced at the glass vase in the hand of the thrush, and suddenly had another idea, "Leave this glass vase!"
"yes!"
Huamei put down the glass bottle and went to make tea for Mrs. Qian San and his son. She came back with the tea. When she was still outside, she heard the old lady in the room saying to Mrs. Qian San, "This glass bottle was only given by the emperor today. When Yi Jie'er heard that the third lady likes glass utensils, she specially sent it to me and asked me to hand it over to the third lady. She was a child with a thin-skinned child and was afraid that others would misunderstand it. The third lady accepted Yi Jie'er's gift, but don't say it out!"
