The children..,
Held a brush..,
Dipped it in a little bit of batter..,
Carefully swiped it behind the name card,
And then pasted it on their own bed. After pasting it..,
They nodded, indicating that they were very satisfied.
"Alright,
Now follow me. "After everyone was done pasting it..,
Xia Lu pushed open a small cubicle in the inner bedroom,
There were seven wardrobes inside..,
"Each of you, choose one..,
These three are for Lian'er and the others. As for the other four, each of you will have one. This is for your own luggage and clothes,
You can't put food in here. If you have food to put in,
There are also seven cabinets beside your bed. They are all locked. If you have anything particularly important, you can put it in that cabinet, "Xia Lu said.
"Yes." The four princes each chose their own wardrobes,
Then, just like the bed..,
They pasted their name cards on the wardrobes.
After going out..,
Xia Lu distributed the keys to the cabinets beside the bed to them. This time, Xia Lu did not let them choose for themselves. Instead, the taller ones went to the cabinets at the top, and the shorter ones went to the cabinets at the bottom. This way, they could open the cabinets themselves. In the end, similarly, they pasted their name cards on the cabinets.
The princes looked at the keys in their hands and felt that it was a little strange. "Why is this key different from the normal ones?"
"The normal ones are too heavy. Your hands are still small, so it's not easy to open them. This one is easier. Try it." Xia Lu let them pick up the keys and try to open the cabinet door. This was a modern lock. The lock was a piston. When the cabinet door was locked, a piece of iron would protrude out. When it was opened, the iron would cave in.
Why didn't they use ancient locks here? It was because ancient locks were too troublesome to open. Sometimes, even if you had the key, it would be very difficult to open it. Some of the keys had to be combined together before it could be opened. Some of the keys had to be opened first before opening the other part. Although it was troublesome, the anti-theft effect was still quite good. Moreover, some of the locks were very exquisite. In modern times, there were also collectors who collected these ancient locks.
Hearing Xia Lu's words, the princes raised their keys and opened their cabinets. They were surprised to find that opening the cabinets was not complicated. Thus, the princes began to play again, opening and closing the cabinets. Even the Eldest Prince repeated it several times.
"Alright, now the first task is to help these people pack their luggage. You don't need to do anything. You just need to know where to put your luggage. After you move in, the palace servants you brought will no longer serve you. They will only serve you when you return in five days," Xia Lu said.
The princes were a little flustered. They looked at the palace maids and eunuchs serving them and were a little helpless.
"Countess, this …" The head palace maid beside the Second Prince couldn't help but say, "Isn't this not very good? Our prince's health is not good, and he still needs us to take care of him. If we don't take care of him, how can the princes take care of themselves?"
"Don't worry, I naturally won't let them be alone at night. Come out," Xia Lu said.
At this time, a young maid and an older nanny walked out from behind Xia Lu. The two of them bowed to the four princes. "This maid is called Wisteria.
"This girl is called Zi Teng. As for Nanny, you can call her Nanny Tao. The two of them will serve all of you. Obviously, there are only two of them, and there are seven of you. You won't be able to take care of all of them. So, other than some things that you really need their help with, such as getting dressed in the morning and bathing at night, as I just said, the Second Prince's health isn't too good, and Jinyu's body isn't particularly strong either. They need to take medicine at night, so they will serve all of you. But for things like eating, they won't be able to split themselves, so you will need to eat by yourselves.
All of the children nodded. Although they were a little nervous, they were still a little excited. After all, these children had been taken care of too well by their mothers. No matter what happened, they had servants to serve them. As a result, they didn't have much freedom at all. However, they were still boys, and they had the spirit of adventure in their hearts. Now that they could break away from the strict care of the adults, they were naturally happy in their hearts.
This time, no one said anything. Even if some of the palace maids and eunuchs were not very satisfied, they still followed their master's orders. They couldn't mess around in Ningguo Province. If there was anything wrong with it, they could talk about it when they returned to the palace.
"Alright, if there are no more questions, then start packing your luggage. You have to know where these luggage are placed. When Wisteria and Nanny Tao get these things for you, they won't have to look for them on the way," Xia Lu said.
"Yes." The princes began to pack their luggage with their palace maids.
These palace maids complained in their hearts. They felt that the rules of Ningguo Province were too strict. They even dared to order the princes to do things. However, when they thought of their master's warning, they didn't dare to say anything.
Compared to the palace maids' unhappiness, the princes were quite excited. They watched their palace maids pack their luggage and tried hard to remember where their luggage was placed. Sometimes, when they weren't satisfied with where the palace maids put their luggage, they would guide them where to put it.
While they were packing, Jia Zhen and Xia Lu were waiting outside. Jia Lian and the others were very excited. They had a few more friends. When the time came to play hide-and-seek, it would be even more fun. The three children smiled and discussed.
When they finished packing and came out, Xia Lu smiled and said, "What's wrong with the princes? What do you need to pay attention to? For example, what can you not eat? Are you afraid of the dark at night? Make a list of these and tell Nanny Tao and Wisteria," Xia Lu said to the palace maids.
"Countess, can't we stay here to serve the princes?" The second prince's palace maid was still worried.
"This place is too small. It's not suitable for so many of you to live here. When the time comes, you will have to live in the outer courtyard. I'm really sorry," Xia Lu said with a smile. Next month, when Prince Guang comes, you don't have to come. You don't get a salary, and you still have to serve such a large group of people. Don't you need money? If they weren't in front of outsiders, Xia Lu would have dragged Jia Zhen out to fight again. This wastrel.
The palace maid looked at Jia Zhen again. Jia Zhen only stood beside Xia Lu, as if everything was up to his wife. The palace maid could only swallow her words. However, she was still worried. Even if she was worried, there was nothing she could do. She could only tell Wisteria and Nanny Tao everything the second prince needed to pay attention to.
"Lian'er, you three take the four princes to familiarize them with the mansion. Just familiarize them with the backyard. Don't run to the front courtyard," Xia Lu ordered.
"Okay," Jia Lian puffed out her small chest, indicating that she would take care of it.
Seeing Jia Lian and the other two take the four princes away, the palace maids hurriedly followed. However, they were stopped by Xia Lu's maidservants and nannies. "Don't worry, this is the inner courtyard of the mansion. There will be maidservants and nannies to take care of them. Don't worry."
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at Xia Lu and the others. Remembering their master's orders, they had to stay by the princes' side at all times, they were a little anxious.
The princes who were taken away by Jia Lian and the others were still a little afraid when they saw that the palace maids who usually served them were not following them. However, even though they were young, they still had their own pride. The second prince, Tu Jun, asked, "Don't you usually have maidservants and nannies following you?"
"Why do we need maidservants and nannies to follow us?" Jia Lian felt that this was a little strange. She said, "I'm already an adult. I don't need maidservants and nannies to follow me. Only children need to be taken care of by maidservants and nannies."
Jia Yao nodded and said in a serious tone, "Only children like my nephew, who can't walk yet, need maidservants and nannies. We're all adults, so why do we need them?"
The four princes, who were followed everywhere by the eunuchs and maidservants, were puzzled. Was that really the case?
Lin Jinyu covered his mouth and said in a small voice, "Don't worry, we have people following us. It's just that we can't see them. "Once, when he was playing with Brother Lian and Brother Yao, they forgot to pay attention to their surroundings and ended up playing by the river. Suddenly, a servant came out and told them to go somewhere else to play. At that time, Lin Jinyu understood that there were people following them.
"That's where we used to live." Jia Yao pointed at the Fallen Plum Courtyard.
"Then why did you move?" the third prince asked curiously. The Third Prince, Tu Yue, asked curiously. The other three princes were also curious. Those concubines often changed their residence. Mother said that those concubines all made mistakes. Could it be that these three also made mistakes?
"Because the flowers and plants in the Fallen Plum Courtyard are very pitiful," Jia Yao replied.
"Hm?" The fourth prince was confused.
"Let me tell you, my sister-in-law likes to play with a whip the most. The courtyard of the Fallen Plum Courtyard is small and there are many flowers and plants. Every time my sister-in-law plays with the whip, the flowers and plants in the Fallen Plum Courtyard will wither. In order to prevent my sister-in-law from hurting the flowers and plants in the courtyard, we moved our house. The house we live in now has a large courtyard, which is big enough for my sister-in-law to play with the whip." Jia Lian nodded and felt that this was the final reason why they moved their house.
"Shiniang knows how to play with the whip?" the eldest prince, Tu Ming, asked in surprise.
"Yes, and it's especially beautiful." Jia Lian gave a thumbs-up.
"Then does Shiniang know how to use the whip to hit people?" the eldest prince asked uneasily.
"Yes." Lin Jinyu nodded affirmatively. Jia Yao and Jia Lian looked at each other and did not continue speaking.
"Really?" The four princes were a bit uneasy. When Xia Lu had separated the beds and cabinets, not only had Xia Lu intimidated the palace maids and eunuchs, but he had also intimidated the four princes. They were a bit uneasy now. "Then has Shiniang ever hit you before?" The eldest prince asked uneasily.
Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law has only used the whip to hit Big Brother."
"Really?" the four princes heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Lin Jinyu looked at their frightened faces and was in a very good mood. He smiled and nodded. "But just because she didn't hit you before doesn't mean she won't hit you in the future. So, you have to be more obedient in the future." Lin Jinyu, the youngest of the four, did his best to stand on his tiptoes and pat the eldest prince's shoulder. He acted like an old man. To the adults, it was very cute, but to the children, it was very scary.
"Yes." the eldest prince nodded. He would perform well. The other three princes also nodded. They would be obedient.
"Pfft, Jinyu, don't tease the four new brothers. Sister-in-law only hits Big Brother. She never bullies us." Jia Yao and Jia Lian laughed loudly when they saw that the four new brothers had been intimidated by Lin Jinyu.
Lin Jinyu shrugged. He didn't know that the new brothers were so easy to fool.
"Don't listen to Jinyu. Jinyu loves to tease people. Sister-in-law is very good to us. She never hits us and especially likes to play with us. You'll know in the future." Jia Yao exposed Lin Jinyu. Although Jinyu was small and skinny, he was full of bad ideas. Every time Big Brother and Sister-in-law scolded them, Jinyu always managed to escape.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were so easy to fool." Lin Jinyu smiled and apologized. When he smiled, his big eyes narrowed slightly, making him look like a little fox.
"Jinyu, stop smiling. Sister-in-law said that squinting eyes are all monsters." Jia Lian said.
"My eyes are huge." When Lin Jinyu heard Jia Lian's words, his eyes were not small anymore. He even stretched out his hand to make his eyes bigger.
"Why are squinting eyes monsters?" the fourth prince, Tu Zheng, asked. His eyes were a little small.
"Sister-in-law said so. I don't know the details." Lin Jinyu shrugged. However, Sister-in-law was definitely right. Lin Jinyu gave the small-eyed Tu Zheng a sympathetic expression. He thought to himself: When we get familiar with each other in the future, I'll tell this friend that he can make his eyes bigger by propping up his hands.
The fourth prince wailed and burst into tears. "I don't want to be a monster. I don't want to be a monster. Boohoo ~ ~" The fourth prince, Tu Zheng, cried out pitifully.
"Don't cry. I'm the worst at comforting people." Jia Lian scratched the back of his head. What should he do? He had made his younger brother cry.
Jia Yao thought for a while and hugged the fourth prince, Tu Zheng. Because the weather was still cold, the two children wore more clothes. Because they were still four-legged, they looked like two balls hugging each other. "Don't cry." Jia Yao patted Tu Zheng's back. She recalled that when her little nephew cried, his wet nurse and sister-in-law would carry him up and pat his back to comfort him. Jia Yao tried to lift him up and realized that he was unable to carry his little brother. En, then he would just have to stand on his own while she patted his back to comfort him.
Tu Zheng cried in Jia Yao's arms for a while before he stopped crying. When he came out of Jia Yao's arms, his eyes were still red and there were tears hanging from them.
"Alright, don't cry. I'll bring you to see something fun." Seeing that Tu Zheng had stopped crying, Jia Yao and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Jia Yao held Tu Zheng's hand and walked towards the amusement park. She thought to herself, "My younger brother is really hard to coax. My nephew is much more fun. When he's sad, he'll just cry a few times. His tears won't fall at all." Jia Yao glanced at her clothes, which were already soaked with tears.
Jia Yao and the others brought the four princes to the amusement park. The four princes' eyes lit up. They had already played with the enhanced version of the toys in the bedroom. They did not expect that there would be such a big one here.
The servants who were waiting on them in the amusement park came over. "Greetings, brothers. The weather is cold. Master said that you can't play with the toys for more than an hour." The servants said.
"Okay." Jia Yao and the others sighed. Really, an hour was not enough to play with all the toys here. Their elder brother was getting more and more stingy. "Come, let's play one by one." Jia Yao led the princes to the pirate ship.
Sitting on the pirate ship, the princes' eyes lit up. At this time, the servants below shook the lever and manually moved the pirate ship. After getting on the pirate ship, they went to the Ferris wheel. Very soon, an hour was up. Jia Yao and the other princes were enjoying themselves so much that they did not want to go home. However, at this time, the servants who were waiting on them in the amusement park were unusually cold. They definitely would not allow them to continue playing.
"See, our elder brother is so stingy. You'll know in the future." Jia Lian's expression was as if she had experienced it before.
However, they had been out for so long that they did not want to stay outside any longer. Thus, they began to go back.
When they returned to the eastern courtyard of Ninggyeongdang, they found that there was no one else. Jia Yao asked, "Granny Tao, where are sister-in-law and elder brother? Where did they go? And where are the other people from before? "
"Master and Madam have returned to the main courtyard. As for the people brought by the princes, they are staying in the outer courtyard," Granny Tao replied gently.
"Oh." Jia Yao nodded. She turned her head and said to the other children, "Let's go to the main courtyard to look for sister-in-law. Who knows, our little nephew might be there."
Hearing their little nephew's name, Jia Lian and Jin Yu's eyes lit up. Their little nephew had already learned how to walk. He would stumble and accidentally fall. When there was no one beside him, his little nephew would not cry at all after falling. He would get up and continue walking. However, if there was someone beside him, he would wail loudly. Moreover, it was a wail that did not shed tears.
"Then let's go quickly." Jia Yao and the others were also excited.
Thus, the group of children went to the main courtyard. When they reached the main courtyard, Jia Lian intimately went to Tu Zheng's side to talk to him. However, Tu Zheng only followed beside Jia Yao with a proud look on his face. He did not seem to care about Jin Yu at all.
When Jia Yao saw this, she could only shrug her shoulders. Lian'er usually teased others and made them cry. It was hard to coax him now. Jia Yao shook her head. Oh, she pretended to be mature and sighed. She thought to herself, Children are really childish.
Jia Lian was also a child and had the temperament of a child. If you don't want to play with me, I'll go find someone else. She really thought that Jia Lian went to find someone else to play with. Tu Zheng, who was following beside Jia Yao, was even angrier.
The group of people arrived at the main courtyard. Just as they entered the main courtyard, they saw a little guy stumbling over, as if he was going to fall in the next second. Sure enough, as they expected, the little guy didn't step on the ground properly and directly fell to the ground. Then, the little guy laid on the ground and looked to the left, but he didn't see any familiar people. Just as he was about to get up, his gaze looked to the right again, and when he saw Jia Yao and the others, he opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.
Tu Ming hurriedly walked over and wanted to carry the little guy up. In the end, he was stopped by Jia Yao and said, "He's just faking it. Don't be fooled by him. He can stand up on his own."
Tu Ming's face was full of question marks. At this time, Jia Lian stepped forward and said, "An An, stand up on your own. You're wearing so many clothes, it doesn't hurt at all. You're crying so loudly, but your tears aren't even flowing."
After howling for a while, he realized that no one was coming to carry him. Thus, the little fat ball on the ground slowly moved on the ground and then slowly got up. Then, he did not say anything and directly walked into the room.
The princes felt that they had refreshed the common sense in their hearts. Was there such a child? Moreover, this little guy knew how to act shamelessly at such a young age? No, they felt that they were paying attention to the wrong thing. They grew up in the palace and saw how worried the imperial concubines were when their imperial brother was born. If their imperial brother fell, the imperial servants and palace maids who served him would definitely be punished. In the end, how could a child from Ningguo Province fall and have to get up on his own? Was there no one to take care of him?
When they followed the little guy into the inner room, they saw the little guy tugging on his master's wife's clothes. He pointed at the dust on his body after he fell down. Because he still couldn't speak, he kept making 'ah ah ah' sounds, as if he was complaining.
"Great, you didn't even cry when you fell down. Keep it up." In the room, they could clearly hear Jia Rong's dry howls. Xia Lu praised Jia Rong for not crying without a change in expression. At the same time, she also patted off the dust on his body after he fell down.
Jia Lian, who did not know how to speak yet, was helpless after failing to complain. She could only throw herself into her mother's arms and seek comfort.
"You're back. You came back just in time. Have a little lunch, then go and have a lunch break. In the afternoon, classes will officially begin," Xia Lu said.
"Okay." Jia Yao and the others, who were already used to eating lunch, said excitedly.
Jia Lian came over to hold Tu Zheng's hand again, but Tu Zheng shook her hand off again.
