Princess and The General

Chapter 9: The West Chamber

Views:

The spring was bright and beautiful, and the West Chamber was like a sea of flowers, making Yufu couldn't move.

Passing outside the upper house courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and following a cobblestone path, you can see a small water mill wall.

The white stone steps underneath are stable and small, but only four or five floors, and you can see the hanging flower arches. There is no sign or plaque on the door, showing a trace of wildness.

Two flying butterflies flew out, seeming to be welcoming the owner of the West Chamber. Yufu smiled and clapped his hands.

"It's good here, we also have many flowers in Immortal Valley. Butterfly loves to peck my fingers the most!"

As he said, he stretched out his hand and dexterously pinched an orchid finger, and the pair of wavy butterflies landed on her finger as expected.

Gu Huaijiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Yufu opened his lips and gently blew away the pair of butterflies.

She bounced towards the courtyard.

I saw the thin spring water flowing under my feet, and a small bridge above it, with exquisite handrails on both sides, and a few bright tiled Ruyi lamps standing above it.

Further inside, a few peach blossoms are vying for beauty, and a broad-leaved plantain stretches out in green.

Walking along the winding veranda to the inside of the house, Yufu walked back curiously when he heard the sound of the water flowing behind the house.

She lay on the back of the wooden chair under the porch and looked out, and she saw two peach blossoms with clear springs coming out of the spring.

It really is an excellent yard here, suitable for my daughter's home to live in.

Looking at her expression, Gu Huaijiang knew that she liked this place, so he didn't ask much at the moment, and ordered a few servants to come to the yard to serve and sweep.

I saw a young woman walk in from outside the house, walked up to her, bowed her head and bowed her head in a blessing.

"Slavery Qi Ting, I have met Lord Hou."

Speaking, raising his head slowly, looking at the little Yufu in front of him, he was looking at her with a pair of smart eyes with a smile.

"I have seen Miss Yufu."

Yufu looked over and saw that she was born with a long face, looked gentle and solemn, very respectful.

Gu Huaijiang was also quite satisfied.

"Yufu will be taken care of by you. In the future, you will be the maidservant in the West Chamber. Qi steward, and then send someone to choose a reliable maidservant to take care of. Yufu can't be the only one by her side."

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

Qi An bowed and saluted, before leaving, glanced at Qi Ting.

The latter nodded slightly at him before he left with confidence.

"I'll go back to deal with some housework first. If there is anything I want to eat, I can order Qi Ting to come to the Shangfang to find me, you know?"

Gu Huaijiang was not in the house for a long time, and there were still many trivial matters to deal with, so he left first.

Yufu stood on the corridor and watched him with a smile, while Qi Ting was very excited, looking at Yufu as if she saw hope.

She is already fifteen years old, has a son again, and grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child.

In her capacity, the best destination is to be able to serve the prince in the mansion and be a housekeeper in the future.

With Qi An’s influence in the mansion, she can even be an aunt, even...

It's a pity that Gu Huaijiang has dismissed the maids in the house since his wife passed away. Only the few of them are the only ones who are free from having children.

But they didn't let them come up to serve the sons, and they all used small servants and male servants to take care of them.

Now with Yufu, Qi Ting can finally come up and take care of her. She dared not to be careless and waited on Yufu cautiously.

"Miss, the maidservant heard that the lady likes to eat crab cakes, so she ordered the kitchen to send some up. Miss have a taste?"

Yufu sat on the porch and looked at the scenery of the West Wing. Qi Ting brought in a small log table and put on a plate of crab noodles.

As soon as he heard the three words crab noodle cake, Yu Fu's eyes lit up and he looked down.

"The sixth brother just bullied me and didn't give it to me. I haven't eaten crab noodles yet!"

Yufu happily took a piece and sent it into the mouth, his small face suddenly bulged in contentment, and the movement of chewing lightly was also very cute.

Qi Ting quietly looked at her appearance, secretly guessing in her heart.

I'm afraid that Lord Hou is raised in the border gate, and the supply of life is not so good, so Yufu's behavior is different from that of the ladies in the Imperial Capital.

The young lady who has been raised by Jin Guijiao since childhood does not directly hold snacks with her hands.

I heard that she is already twelve years old, and she does not look well developed, like a ten-year-old child.

But it doesn't matter, she has been taken back to the Hou Mansion by Lord Hou, and she has been a well-justified daughter of the Hou Mansion...

Qi Ting was thinking in her heart, Yufu had finished eating two pieces of crab noodles with relish, and suddenly clapped her hands.

"Miss did not eat anymore?"

Qi Ting hurried forward and wiped her hands with her kerchief.

Yufu let her wipe herself, and wiped her small mouth easily, and a little crab yellow was stained on the corners of her mouth.

It looks very childish.

"Miss don't wipe your sleeves, let the slaves come."

Qi Ting stepped forward slowly and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil to make sure that there were no stains on her face before stopping.

I have to say that looking at Yufu's appearance, she is like a lady in the Hou Mansion.

These big watery eyes are like pear vortex filled with honey, pink lips...

Qi Ting was taken aback for a while.

"Sister Qi, when the general is leaving, didn't you just let you get what you need? I want to drink honey water, can you bring it?"

Honey water

Qi Ting was stunned, and then suddenly thought that Yufu was still a twelve-year-old girl.

Which kid doesn't like to drink sugar water

She smiled and said: "Miss only wants to drink honey water? Would you like sweet soup? Like wine stuffed balls, or papaya stewed snow clams, red dates and bird's nest soup?"

Yufu smiled cleverly.

"No need, as long as honey water is good, sister Qi has worked hard."

Qi Ting was overjoyed by her screaming sister Qi, and she quickly turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare honey water.

Waiting to see her disappear outside the courtyard gate of the West Chamber, Yufu glanced around and confirmed that the servants sent by Qi An were not there.

She was relieved now.

"Yaolan, come out quickly, this crab cake is delicious!"
