Instantly, the kneeling people stood up carefully.
Jian Qingqing ignored them and jumped down from the carriage. Xiao Ye and Xiao Lang also jumped down from the carriage.
Jian Qingqing went to the carriage at the back and helped Mother Jian and Old Man Jian get down.
Old Man Jian looked at the grand Princess Mansion in front of him and could not help but say, “How magnificent!”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “This will be our home from now on.”
After all the family members had stood together, Jian Qingqing said, “Let’s go and take a look at our new home.”
Butler Zhang quickly went forward and said, “Long Live the Princess. This servant is the Butler Zhang Bucai that the Emperor has arranged for you. If you have anything, just instruct this servant to do it.”
Jian Qingqing lightly acknowledged. She glanced at the people who were still standing respectfully in front of the door and said, “You guys can go and be busy. Bring them to see me later.”
The Butler acknowledged respectfully. He was thinking that the Emperor had sent him here after he was conferred the title of Princess. In the past few months, they had been guessing what kind of person this Princess Ding’an was, many people said that she would not have the bearing of the noble ladies who grew up in the Capital since she was from the countryside. She might not be able to show her face.
He did not expect that Butler Zhang would be able to tell that this Princess Ding’an, who was conferred the title Halfway, was not someone to be trifled with.
Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was better to follow a capable master than a cowardly one. Thus, he treated Jian Qingqing even more respectfully.
It was the first time Old Man Jian and the others had entered such an imposing house. Butler Zhang was also full of vigor when they saw him. They could not help but feel nervous. Jian Qingqing comforted him by holding his trembling hand.
In order not to embarrass her, Old Man Jian tried his best to restrain his nervousness and strode forward with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Upon entering the residence, he realized how big the Princess’s Residence was.
Butler Zhang asked, “Princess, may I ask where you are going first? To the Old
Master’s courtyard or your main courtyard?”
Upon hearing this, Old Man Jian immediately became nervous. He almost could not walk stably.
Jian Qingqing frowned and said, “Arrange for my family members to stay in my courtyard.”
Butler Zhang said hesitantly, “Princess, this is against the rules.”
Jian Qingqing snorted coldly and said, “Butler Zhang, I hope you can understand that this is the Princess’s Residence. Whether it is against the rules or not, it is up to me.”
Butler Zhang’s heart trembled and he immediately said, “Yes! This servant understands!”
After walking for about 15 minutes, they finally arrived at the main courtyard Jian Qingqing was going to live in. The main courtyard was very big. Other than the courtyard in the middle, there were also a few small courtyards beside it. Each small courtyard was bigger than their home in Jian Village.
They did not know what these big families were particular about. Wouldn’t it feel empty to live in such a big courtyard alone?
“Clean up these courtyards beside it. My family will live here from now on.”
Butler Zhang immediately acknowledged respectfully and instructed the servants behind him to immediately make arrangements.
Jian Qingqing first brought her family into her own courtyard. Butler Zhang could not go in, so he changed to two wet nurses.
One of the wet nurses said respectfully, “Long Live the Princess. This old servant is a wet nurse arranged by the Emperor. Princess, you can call this old servant Nanny Gui. This old servant is specialized in serving you.”
Another housemaid also said, “Love Live the Princess, this old servant is Nanny Wu. This old servant is also specialized in serving you.”
Jian Qingqing nodded, indicating that she understood.
It seemed that this was a personal housemaid. In television dramas, the young ladies of large families would have one or two personal nannies, followed by a few maids who would serve them closely. However, she had yet to see any maids.
These people were all sent in by other people. Whether they really respected Jian Qingqing or not, this had to be seen..
