Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 17

Views:

After staying up all night, Yaoniang fell asleep after returning to her room.

It felt like he hadn't slept long when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was urgent, Yao Niang got up and opened the door in a daze. Before he reached the door, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly went back and put on his outer shirt, and casually tied the long hair hanging on his shoulders in a bun behind his head before opening the door.

Ever since she came to this small courtyard, Yaoniang has never done other hair buns, she always shows others with the rigid one bun.

She opened the door and it was Lu'e.

Not only Lu'e, but also Qiuju, the second-class girl in Liuchun Pavilion.

Qiu Ju was all smiles, followed by a little girl holding a tray.

The tray was covered with a red cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

"This is a reward from the side concubine to Nanny Su."

After entering the room, following Qiu Ju's voice, the little girl lifted the red cloth from the tray in her hand. On it were two ingots of silver, a jade bracelet with a good head, and a gilt hairpin.

Yao Niang was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Qiu Ju said with a smile: "The side concubine said that thanks to Su Nai Niang, the side concubine can't eat well and sleep well these days, and she has thought of many ways, but none of them can cure the little princess. Making trouble at night is still Nanny Su's ability, and she solved the important matter on the side concubine's mind."

"This is Yaoniang's duty."

Qiu Ju nodded, "Since Nanny Su is resting, the servant girl will not disturb her, so I will go back and talk to the side concubine."

"Miss Qiu Ju, walk slowly."

Yaoniang sent Qiuju and others outside the door, just in time to meet Cuizhu returning to the house.

Cui Zhu used to like to run to the Liuchun Hall, so she naturally recognized Qiu Ju, knew that she was the girl who was the face of Concubine Hu, and saw her laughing with Yao Niang, what else did she not understand. She didn't dare to get angry with Qiu Ju, so she gave Yaoniang an angry and resentful look.

Yaoniang saw it as if she didn't see it, sent the other party away, and then went back to the house and closed the door.

She came to the table and looked at the things on the table.

It has to be said that the Prince Jin's mansion is really generous to the servants, just a few things are worth at least a hundred taels of silver, which is enough for Yao Niang's salary for half a year.

It's just that there is less silver, only twenty taels. Although the jade bracelet and gold hairpin are good things, it is precisely the good things that cannot be exchanged for silver.

Yaoniang picked up the golden hairpin, and sure enough there was the emblem of the Prince Jin Mansion in an inconspicuous place. This kind of things made in the palace, no one in Jinzhou dares to accept them, that is to say, these things can only be worn by oneself, and it is impossible to change them for silver.

If all the money can be exchanged, Yaoniang even has the urge to leave the palace immediately.

Because she could feel that the maneuvers in the backyard were not something she could handle, plus meeting Jin Wang yesterday, Yaoniang found that she was more afraid of him than she imagined.

What is she afraid of? In fact, she can't explain it clearly. She just wants to hide as far away as possible.

After such an experience, Yaoniang couldn't sleep anymore. Taking advantage of the good weather today, I simply took the clothes I changed yesterday to wash.

In this small courtyard, people are busy when they say they are busy, and they are idle when they say they are idle, but they just circle around the little princess. The back room was bustling with activity at the moment, and a few rough maids were sitting under the shade of a tree, doing chores in their hands, and their mouths were not idle. Two other little girls were sitting under the eaves, working with needles and threads in their hands, laughing and making noise from time to time.

Yao Niang listened to them talking while washing clothes by the well, feeling that the time passed quickly.

There is also a woman who is older and more senior than Yaoniang, so she asks about her family situation. Yaoniang deletes, deletes and deletes, and piece together an unmistakable story to tell them.

When they heard that Yaoniang was pregnant with a man who died and her son was a posthumous child, everyone showed pity on their faces. They each said some comforting words, just to reassure Yaoniang.

This was a situation that was almost impossible to happen before. It seems that Mu Momo agreed to let Yaoniang serve the little Princess personally, which gave everyone a signal.

A signal that can be regarded as one's own.

Since they are their own people, they don't have any scruples when they speak, and even because Cuizhu was exceptionally jumpy before, it is inevitable that some people will say some sarcastic remarks.

It seems that they want to please Yaoniang deliberately, and they seem to be really displeased with Cuizhu. They talked about how Cuizhu curry favor with the people in Liuchun Pavilion, and all kinds of flattery were vividly described. For example, when it comes to Cuizhu's fawning over a woman surnamed Mao, that woman is always a shameless woman. To put it bluntly, it means to go to the office when it is beneficial, and to turn your face and deny anyone when you need to do something.

"Look, there are times when she suffers a loss and is fooled." A woman said.

The other woman laughed and teased her: "Isn't it because last time someone took a plate of pea yellow and didn't give it to you, but instead brought it to Liuchun Hall and gave it to Mrs. Mao, so you just bury him like this."

It was obviously a joke, but the old woman was not ambiguous. While looking at the green bamboo, she did not forget to give Yaoniang a handful: "Who would get angry because of a plate of pea yellow? The old woman is not used to her jumping up and down. Look at how Nanny Su is not like her."

Why did this matter involve yourself

Yaoniang was thinking about this, when suddenly everyone changed color. Following everyone's line of sight, it was Cui Zhu who came.

Cuizhu's face was livid, his eyes were full of resentment, and he was trembling with anger.

"What a group of old hags who go to the table to eat and sit down to scold their mothers, why don't they look like this when they take advantage of me? You can't stop your mouths, how greedy you are..."

This remark was a slap in the face, it was an indiscriminate attack, and all of a sudden the women became angry and stood up and quarreled with Cui Zhu.

Even though Cui Zhu is a pungent person, she is no match for one against several, and finally she was so angry that she ran away crying.

"Look, look at this virtue! A girl's life, she just likes to play the role of the young lady, ordering people to wash her clothes, bring water and serve food, and just want to order everyone with a little snack. Who cares? Her little food is not because everyone cares about each other's face and doesn't want to argue with her. But she is good, and instead beats her!" The woman who was just shabby with green bamboo said angrily while clapping her hands.

After what she said, it was all Cui Zhu's fault.

In fact, regardless of right or wrong, there are indeed many things that people criticize about Cui Zhu, otherwise people would not say that about her behind her back.

Yaoniang was most unwilling to get involved in such matters, so she just finished washing her clothes, hung them up to dry, and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Cuizhu was angry and angry and felt ashamed.

Although she was born of a servant girl, she has never suffered this kind of anger since she was a child. Especially since he entered the palace, he always felt that everything was not going well, first he killed Cheng Yaojin halfway, and then he was rejected by others, and now he was pointed at by several old women and scolded like this, Cuizhu has never been so angry.

She hates this place now, so naturally she doesn't want to stay in the small courtyard anymore. She walked out of the yard all the way, planning to ask her aunt Mrs. Cao for advice, to see if she could find a chance to teach these women a lesson. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by a little girl named Mei Zhi in the Liuchun Hall.

"Sister Cuizhu, where are you going? What's wrong?"

Recently, Cuizhu and Meizhi get along very warmly. Meizhi is a second-class girl in Liuchun Hall, she is not very old, and when she is most greedy, Cuizhu will bring some snacks over from time to time, but she also coaxes this little girl into a big sister. .

In fact, Cuizhu's calculation is very simple, since he was arranged by the princess to share the favor, he naturally has to handle this matter well. At that time, not only could he fly to the top of the branch, but he might also be able to make the princess look at him differently.

She has just arrived and has no foundation, so naturally she wants to buy two useful people as eyeliners. For example, when does His Highness come to the Liuchun Pavilion, His Highness's preferences, etc., she can always find opportunities in the middle.

This plum branch is one of the people Cuizhu wants to win over.

There were tears on Cui Zhu's face, obviously she was bullied. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Mei Zhi came up to hold her hand and said: "But someone bullied you?"

Cui Zhu often told Mei Zhi about being run over by people in the Xiaokua courtyard, so Mei Zhi also knew something inside.

"It's nothing." Cui Zhu wiped away her tears, she was older than Mei Zhi after all, how dare she cry in front of a little girl. In fact, she is not much older than Meizhi, and she is only eighteen.

"How can you do nothing like this. I'm not on duty today, why don't you sit in my room for a while and I'll talk to you?"

Cuizhu thought for a while, she was used to being forced outside, she might be talked about if she went out like this, so she nodded.

The two went to Mei Zhi's room together.

As a second-class girl, Mei Zhi lives in a place that is not as spacious as Cuizhu. There are four canopy beds in a common room, and Mei Zhi is on the innermost bed.

There is no one in the room, and most of them are on duty.

Mei Zhi closed the door, led Cui Zhu to sit down at the table, and poured her a cup of tea.

It could be seen that Cui Zhu looked a little embarrassed, the makeup on his face was all over, Mei Zhi went to fetch a basin of water to clean Cui Zhu's face. Cui Zhu washed her face and drank tea, and suddenly felt that Mei Zhi's good friend was not in vain.

In such a mood, I can't help complaining as Mei Zhi.

After listening, Mei Zhi naturally scolded those wives for her together with the enemy, then looked at her worriedly, and said, "Sister Cuizhu, don't think I'm talkative. You entered the mansion as a nanny, and they If you run on you, you probably won't be able to continue this job."

This is exactly what Cui Zhu fears the most. From her point of view, she originally planned to ride a donkey to find a horse, and while she was doing her job as a nanny, she didn't forget to do other things at the same time. This is also the main reason why she always wanted to join the little princess before.

It's a pity that now Su Yaoniang suddenly appeared and stood firm with an almost unstoppable attitude. Compared with the other two nurses, she lacked a preconceived idea, and there was no place for her beside the little princess.

"Sister Cuizhu is so beautiful, it's a pity to be a nanny." Mei Zhi sighed.

No, Cui Zhu thinks so too!

With various reasons intertwined, she impulsively held the other's hand: "My dear sister, you must help my sister."

Mei Zhi was surprised and puzzled: "What can a girl like me do for you?"

Cui Zhu Fu Er said a lot in the past, Mei Zhi's expression was uncertain.

Cui Zhu said again: "Good sister, if you help me, I will never forget your kindness, and I will help you when the time comes."

"This... I..."

"Don't you want to be a girl forever?"

Who wants to be a girl for a lifetime!

Those who serve beside the masters, even though they are servants, are treated no worse than ordinary ladies from rich families. But when they reach their age, they have to be released to marry. People like them who are not high enough to be low enough, can neither let the master decide a good marriage, nor are they willing to be matched with a groom or something. After going through those hard times, it seems Only the only way out is to climb high branches.

"Let's join hands and help each other."
