Hearing a creaking sound, Fu Cheng, who was leaning against the stone platform in the veranda, woke up suddenly.
It may be that he has been curled up for a long time, but his legs and feet are a little awkward, and he almost fell when he got up. It was King Jin who reached out to help him to stand still.
"Your Highness." Fu Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly.
King Jin nodded, and quietly led him along the way he came in last night, and left Xiaokuayuan.
Looking at His Highness's full of energy and stretched eyebrows, Fu Chengcheng knew that Nanny Su must have served her well yesterday, otherwise His Highness wouldn't be like this.
Fucheng felt that as a good servant, he must be considerate, so he asked: "Your Highness, do you want to move Nanny Su out of the small courtyard?" group.
Hearing this, King Jin hesitated for a while before saying, "Not yet."
King Jin's reaction surprised Fu Cheng a little. Could it be that His Highness intends to just eat and not be responsible? He stared at King Jin's back with that kind of very surprised gaze, until he showed him Mao.
The rare good mood was ruined at once, Jin Wang remembered the way the little nanny waited on him last night.
King Jin couldn't understand Yaoniang's grievances. In order to make him not want her body, she would rather work hard to serve him in other ways than let him touch her body.
She is keeping a festival? Could it be that she defended herself like a jade for that dead man of hers
Thinking of this, Jin Wang's mood became even worse, and because of this, he treated Fu Cheng even more badly.
But he used to have a cold face, and Fucheng was not thinking about it, so he didn't notice it. Taking advantage of the twilight of the morning light, the two master and servant returned to Chaohui Hall silently all the way.
After King Jin left, Yaoniang sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up.
She changed all the quilts on the bed, and when the sky was clear outside, she quietly took the changed things to the well to wash.
There is no one here in the back cover room. It is still early and everyone has not woken up yet.
Yaoniang fetched water from the well, soaked the removed quilt in it, and also had two pieces of her obscene underwear that King Jin dragged to wipe her body yesterday. It wasn't until all these things were soaked in water that the indescribable smell at the end of her nose finally faded.
There was no one there, but she blushed with shame, soaked the dirty places in water and rubbed them vigorously, and then rubbed them with soap locust. While washing, someone got up.
It's Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhao.
The people in the small kitchen get up the earliest every day, because breakfast has to be prepared in advance, so that other servants who will wake up later will have breakfast to eat.
Seeing Yaoniang squatting beside the well washing clothes at this time, both of them were very surprised.
"Nurse Su, why is it so early?"
As early as one of them, the key point is that no blind person will miss the things washed in Yaoniang's basin, which naturally makes people feel surprised. Which one would run to wash the bedding early in the morning as soon as it was bright
Yaoniang blushed and couldn't find an excuse for a moment.
In the eyes of the other party, it becomes hesitant to talk. They are all women, and there are such inconvenient days every month. It is not uncommon for the bedding to be dirty occasionally, and everyone understands it.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "You are really, when can't wash, but choose such an early time."
Wang Pozi interrupted and said, "You can't wash it with cold water like this. When the stove burns, I'll scoop up some hot water for you."
The two opened the kitchen door, and soon got busy inside. After a while, Vanilla and Xiangxiang also got up, and they also expressed their surprise when they saw Yaoniang washing the bedding so early.
Yaoniang felt that she shouldn't get up to wash the bedding at this time, it's like there is no silver three hundred taels here. But it was too late to say anything, she could only squat there and continue washing against everyone's curious and surprised eyes. The little girls in Xiangcao even offered to help her, but she rejected them all.
Maybe others don't know, but as long as she thinks of asking others to wash that kind of thing, she has a feeling of digging into the ground.
After finally washing, Mrs. Zhao came out to help her wring out the water. This thing is too big, Guangyao Niang alone can't help it.
"The weather is good, and it will be done in the middle of the morning."
Yaoniang thanked Mrs. Zhao before returning to her room.
At this time, it was also the time when everyone used to get up, and the Xiaokua courtyard gradually became lively.
Yaoniang was out of her mind the whole morning, until Xiangcao came to her.
Because Xiangcao had something to say to Yaoniang, Yaoniang talked to Yucui and took her to her room.
"Nurse Su, I will help you find out everything you want to do. I have a little sister whose brother works as a groom at the carriage and horse department in our house. He has to go home every two months, and he has to go through Hongyuan County Linyun County, it’s not a big problem to help you carry things back.”
Yao Niang was a little surprised: "Thank you, Vanilla. But will this be too much trouble for others?"
Vanilla waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's not a big deal, it's just a casual favor. Besides, you are the nanny of the little princess, so if you just go out and say something casually, there are too many people to do this."
Vanilla doesn't think so, but Yaoniang can't get used to it.
Because in her previous life, she also wanted to bring things home, but she couldn't find anyone who could help. This is due to her unfamiliarity with the situation in the mansion, and because she is not well-known in the mansion, everyone avoids her like a snake and scorpion, so naturally no one wants to deal with her. Or later, when she became King Jin's concubine, and the princess was willing to give her face, there were more servants to fawn on.
Unexpectedly, in this life, she is just the nanny of the little princess, and there are so many people scrambling to do things for her, and Yaoniang has to sigh that the world is so impermanent.
While sighing, Yaoniang also felt the difference. In the end, it was because she was not upright in her previous life, even if she was favored, no matter how much the servants flattered her, deep down in her heart she still felt that she was relying on the tricks of a vixen to get to the top. Contemptuous of her.
This is probably the fundamental difference between taking shortcuts and supporting yourself with your own hands.
"By the way, Nanny Su, I forgot to tell you. Brother Zhou Sheng is going back this afternoon. If you have anything to bring back, you should hurry up and get ready." Vanilla's voice broke Yaoniang's meditation.
Yaoniang came back to her senses.
She didn't expect to be in such a hurry, but she was very happy thinking that her family might receive her things in the next two days. When she was busy, she went to prepare. Vanilla told her to find her after lunch and went back to the kitchen.
Yaoniang packed a bag of things, and then returned to the small building to work as an errand, thinking about making up something to take back.
She only had fifteen taels of silver left, and she planned to take it all back, as well as the clothes that King Jin rewarded her. She was about the same size as her elder sister, and if she could wear them, my elder sister would definitely be able to wear them too. Those two clothes are of good quality, and my sister can wear them when she goes out and relatives.
What's more, the two clothes she made for Xiao Bao were made of the fabric left over from the last time she made the clothes for the little princess. Mammy Mu said that she would give the remaining fabric to her, so she made clothes for Xiao Bao.
They are all dressed up, and she has already prepared them.
But she still felt that it wasn't enough, wishing she could take back all the things she could, so that she could feel at ease.
After eating at noon, seeing the little princess fell asleep, Yaoniang and Yuyan took leave to find vanilla, and asked her to take herself to the person who helped carry the things.
Xiang Cao took Yaoniang to the side gate of the palace, where Zhou Sheng was already waiting.
He is not very old, he looks around twenty, he is dark-skinned, tall and stocky, and he looks like an honest young man.
The weather was hot and the sun was scorching hot. This man didn't know where to hide from the sun, so he stood under the sun and basked in the sun. He could be seen sweating profusely from a long distance away.
Vanilla gave Yao Niang a helpless smile, and ran over: "Brother Zhou Sheng, why are you standing here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhou Sheng wiped off his sweat, smiled at Xiangcao, and said, "Not long ago, I just arrived here. I was afraid you wouldn't see me when you came, so I didn't move the place. By the way, this is Mrs. Su, right?" Yaoniang who was walking towards him, Zhou Sheng hesitated.
There was surprise in his eyes.
Under the sun, Yaoniang's skin was fair and clear, emitting a lustrous light under the sunlight. Zhou Sheng used to roll around in the crowd of men, and the only women he could meet were wives and rough maids. He had never seen such a woman before.
Leaving aside how the other party looks, Zhou Sheng's fair skin alone is enough to make Zhou Sheng feel amazing. It was a kind of softness and tenderness that he had never touched before.
When the other party approached, he looked at the other party's face again, which made Zhou Sheng's face reddened and his head lowered. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so no one questioned the blush on his face.
"Nurse Su. This is Brother Zhou Sheng."
Yao Niang smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I really trouble you."
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all." Zhou Sheng giggled and scratched his head. "What do you want to take home, drag it to me, and I will definitely send it back for you." He patted his chest and promised.
Yao Niang handed him the bundle in her hand, and said, "It's nothing, just some silver and some clothes."
She told Yao's detailed address twice what she wanted to bring, and only after she made sure Zhou Sheng remembered it.
"All in all, thank you, Big Brother Zhou. This is a little silver, and I treat it as a treat for you to drink tea." Yao Niang took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve, and stuffed it into Zhou Sheng's hand.
Zhou Sheng refused as if he had been burned, "This can't be done, Mrs. Su is being polite, I really don't need it." As he said this, he was afraid that Yaoniang would continue to give him money, so he ran away with his bag.
"Nurse Su, don't worry, if your family has anything to say, I'll definitely deliver it." After a long distance, he waved his hand here.
Yaoniang watched him leave, turned her head and said to Xiangcao, "Brother Zhou is quite a nice person."
"Brother Zhou Sheng is indeed a very good person, you don't know him..."
That time Yao Niang won the Jin Wang Award, so she said that she would invite the people in Xiao Kua's courtyard to have a drink.
She didn't know how to arrange the arrangement, so she gave the money to Mrs. Mo and asked her to help look at the arrangement, and the time was set for today.
In the afternoon, preparations began in the small kitchen.
When it was time for dinner, everyone in Xiaokua Yard could come, except Nanny Wang and Nanny Qian who were on errands, and Nanny Mu who didn't like to join in the fun.
Just when the moonlight was just right, the disc-like moon hung high in the night sky. The yard in front of the back room was brightly lit, and three round tables were placed on the open space.
The dishes are very rich, most of them are made with dinner dishes, only the meat dishes and wine are made with Yaoniang's money. Therefore, although Yaoniang gave fifteen taels, but only used less than ten taels, and the rest was given to her by Mrs. Mo. Said that it was not easy for her to go out to make a living, and she didn't have a man, and she had an infant child, so she could save some.
Yaoniang didn't say anything, but she was really touched.
Probably none of these women know how to drink, and the other little girls don't mind, Yaoniang, the host who paid for it, let them grab a few drinks.
Yao Niang is not a good drinker, but after only a few drinks, she is a bit overwhelmed.
She hurriedly left with an excuse, since she had almost eaten anyway.
Going back to the front from the corner door, it is very quiet here, unlike the bustle of the back room. Yaoniang originally wanted to fetch water to take a bath, but thinking about the excitement in the back room, going by herself might disturb people's interest. In addition, there was more than half of the clean water in the basin, which she just changed in the afternoon, so she wiped herself with cold water, changed her clothes and lay down.
After falling asleep for a while, he was awakened by thirst. She got down on the couch and pulled on her embroidered shoes, then went to the table to drink water.
He had just taken two sips when he was suddenly hugged from behind.
When she turned her head and saw King Jin's handsome face, she suddenly lost her drowsiness.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you here?"
"If you want to come, you will come."
"Look at the dead of night, you should hurry back and rest..."
In the next words, he was automatically scared by King Jin's actions.
King Jin actually went to the side of the bed and sat down, acting like a master.
Yaoniang held back for a few times, but she couldn't hold back, "His Royal Highness, there was a reason for the incident yesterday, so the maidservant... And, I said something well yesterday, just once, you can't count..."
In the end, there was even a cry in her voice.
It is urgent. It was also today that Yaoniang thought about this for a day, and she always felt that King Jin put such a chain on her, and it must not be so easy to let her go.
really!
King Jin frowned, "This king said that?"
Yaoniang was startled, thought for a while, and said: "Although you didn't say it, I told you that you didn't say anything at that time." If you didn't say anything, you acquiesced. This is the consistent nature of King Jin and Yaoniang's habitual recognition. Know.
King Jin's eyes flickered, "I didn't say anything, it means I didn't agree."
Yaoniang looked stunned.
This is completely playing hooligans, how can it be like this!
