MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 101 please
In the courtyard in front, many people stood in a dark crowd.
A man dressed as a servant was talking to the old lady when someone said that the cousin girl had arrived. He looked over curiously, saw Xin You's eyebrows clearly, and wondered secretly.
As rumored, the cousin girl from the Shaoqing Mansion looks a bit like Princess Zhaoyang.
She has a similar appearance, and she also saved the daughter of Princess Zhaoyang, tsk tsk, this cousin girl may be lucky in the future.
The servants who can get ahead in the palace are all good people, and they immediately treated Xin You politely: "Miss Kou, I heard that you are brave enough to save people, and I appreciate it very much. I specially ordered a servant to come and give you a reward."
Xin You was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Thank you."
The servant raised his eyebrows, surprised by the calmness of the girl in front of him.
This is the grace bestowed by the emperor. When he stepped into the door of the Shaoqing Mansion, he saw the excitement in the whole house, even the old lady of the Shaoqing Mansion was no exception.
The servant stopped thinking about it, and said in a clear voice, "Just accept the imperial edict."
The old lady took the lead and immediately knelt down.
Xin You pursed her lips, and knelt down silently when the servant gave her a puzzled look.
The so-called sacred decree is a verbal message. After the servant cleared his throat and finished speaking, he smiled at Xinyou: "Congratulations, Miss Kou."
How many people dream of having the imperial gift for offering, but they can't get it. This little girl got a lot at once. Those silks, satins, gold and silver are nothing more than that, and one of the pair of gold-inlaid jade armbands is enough to be passed down from family to family.
Xin You said thanks again, without any additional words.
The servant can only be attributed to the Kou girl who is very reticent, and then greets the old lady with a few polite words, and leads them away.
As the palace people left, the serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Duan Yunyan pulled Zhu's sleeve: "Mom, I didn't dare to breathe loudly just now."
Mr. Zhu rubbed her daughter's head with a smile: "Yan'er did the right thing."
Duan Yunling took Xin You's hand: "Cousin Qing, you are so good, I even reward you today!"
The old lady smiled and said: "Qingqing, you can't neglect the gift from the emperor, just put it at home and offer it up."
"Let's send it to the bookstore first. Satin and palace fans are all necessary, and they will rot after a long time."
The old lady hesitated for a while, but didn't insist anymore.
Duan Yunhua looked coldly at the girl with stars holding the moon, and patted the dust on her clothes when she knelt down.
Is this the benefit of power? It can make the grandmother who reprimands her at every turn tolerate and retreat in every possible way.
Until the evening, because of the rewards from the palace, the Shaoqing Mansion was shrouded in joy.
Xiao Lian helped Xin You bathe and change clothes, her eyes were almost glued to the face of the girl in the snow-white jacket.
"What's wrong?" Xin You asked.
"Girl, you are really capable." The little maid expressed her sincere emotion.
Xin You smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Lian couldn't hide her excitement: "You didn't see the snowy expression when the palace came to deliver the reward."
Hanxue was originally the maid of Wanqingju. After Xinyou moved out of Shaoqing's mansion, she left Hanxue to guard the courtyard. Not long after, Hanxue managed to transfer to the old lady's courtyard.
Because of this incident, Xiao Lian has kept Han Xue in the little book in her heart.
"Also, you asked Mama Wang and Nanny Li to pick a few velvet flowers, which made them very happy."
Xiao Lian's words are true. In the wing room at this moment, Mother Wang is chatting with Nanny Li.
"After all, it is the velvet flower sent by the eldest princess's mansion. It looks better than the real one." Nanny Li held up a velvet flower to the light, with a smile on her face.
Mother Wang was also excited: "When I send the velvet flowers to my two girls tomorrow, they will be crazy with joy."
Nurse Li laughed: "Don't you keep one for yourself?"
"I'm already old, so it's not a waste to wear such a nice velvet flower."
Nurse Li sighed suddenly: "Following Biao girl is much better than going elsewhere."
At the beginning, when the cousin girl moved out, others complained that they had no way out. After a long time, they realized that they still received the monthly payment, but they didn’t have much to do. Now that the cousin girl is promising, she can still follow her.
The next day, after finishing their work, the two asked Xin You for leave, and each went to find his family.
Mother Wang's two daughters and Nanny Li's granddaughter are both on errands in the Shaoqing Mansion. The three put velvet flowers on their heads and soon spread among the Shaoqing Mansion's servants.
"Did you see the velvet flower Xing'er wears in her hair? It was sent by the eldest princess's mansion. I heard it was made in the palace."
"Oh, Hanxue, if you were still in Wanqingju, maybe you could pick two more flowers. I heard that Xiaolian got a flower hairpin, and Jiangshuang will also have—"
Hanxue didn't finish listening, turned her head and left.
The woman who spoke curled her lips.
At the beginning, she wanted her niece to work in the old lady's courtyard, but she didn't expect Hanxue, a little hoof, to take the lead. Now she can be counted as a sigh of relief.
Xin You didn't know about the turmoil caused by a box of velvet flowers among the servants of Shaoqing's mansion, so she took Xiaolian to Ruyi Hall early in the morning to pay her respects to the old lady, and met two brothers Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang who came back from vacation.
"Cousin, I heard that you saved the eldest princess' daughter, please explain carefully."
Xin You has a good impression of the cheerful and enthusiastic Duan Yunlang, and briefly explained the ins and outs.
"It's a pity that I have to go to school yesterday!" Duan Yunlang expressed deep regret for not being there yesterday.
The old lady cast a sideways glance at Duan Yunlang: "If you don't go to school, you still want to get into trouble like the son of Gu Changbo?"
Duan Yunlang couldn't help being amused: "Grandmother, have you heard why the son of Uncle Guchang provoked the boar?"
After returning from Bailu Mountain yesterday, they greeted the people from the Princess's Mansion and greeted the people from the palace, but Shaoqing's Mansion did not hear the gossip in time like those in Beijing.
So the old lady asked: "How?"
"The son of Gu Changbo drowned a wild boar cub during his urination, and this caused the wild boar to chase him. For this reason, the eldest princess went to the palace to file a complaint. The son of Guchang Bo was taken outside the gate by the Jinlin guards, and he was beaten twenty times in public... "
This matter was so bizarre that the old lady couldn't help but look at her eldest grandson.
Duan Yunchen nodded slightly: "The grandson has also heard about it."
It is said that Zhang Xu, the grandson of Zhang Shoufu, took half a day off to visit his injured friend.
The old lady opened her mouth: "It's ridiculous."
Duan Yunlang changed the subject: "Cousin, as soon as the news about you saving the eldest princess's beloved daughter spread, the bookstore's business improved. My eldest brother and I passed by there this morning, and found that there was a long queue before the door opened."
Hearing Duan Yunlang mention the bookstore, Xin You thought about going back: "Grandma, the bookstore is prone to mistakes, I want to go back and have a look."
"Then let's go after lunch."
Xin You nodded. Unexpectedly, not long after, another visitor came to the Princess' Mansion.
This time it was a well-dressed woman in her thirties who was the aunt in charge of Princess Zhaoyang.
After exchanging greetings with the old lady, the aunt in charge explained the purpose of her visit: "I don't know if it is convenient for Miss Kou to go to the eldest princess's mansion?"
