Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 239

After sorting out the inventory, Ah Xiang and Shu Tai went back to the house to rest, and were surprised to find that all the arrangements before going to bed had been taken care of by the new arrivals Qing'er and Dong Sheng.

The two little girls were busy, and when the two aunts in charge came in, they immediately knelt down.

"We are new to a place where we are not sensible and thoughtful, so we ask our aunts for guidance."

Shu Tai didn't accept the kneeling, and lay down on the bed to rest, wishing Ah Xiang would pull her ears.

"Little hoof, you brought them up because you wanted to let them out, but you avoided them first!"

"The master handed them over to you, but I dare not accept them. Forget it, I won't feel at ease until I train them well. Just give them a hand. You two get up."

This is considered a disciple.Ah Xiang saw that the older Qing'er was easier to take care of, so she gave it to Shu Tai and took Dong Sheng herself.

"It's too late today, let's take a rest. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. I just need to make it clear first."

"Auntie please advise."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs selects maids to go to Yikun Palace every year to serve the Princess Empress. The best of them can only enter the house and do some odd jobs such as opening the door curtains and cleaning vases. The master has high eyesight, and it is rare to have a good eye. But wait for my servant, it’s better if there is no second share in the capital. Shutai and I both have shares in Ruixiangfang, and we have long since stopped relying on the little monthly money in the palace to live. Don’t make a mistake, Going outside to judge the rights and wrongs of the master, and was kicked out. That is throwing watermelon and picking sesame seeds."

The two little girls were so frightened that they agreed obediently, and the four of them fell asleep without mentioning the lights that night.

The next day, Qing'er woke up earlier than anyone else, and when she put on her clothes, she woke up her cousin Dongsheng.

"You go to the kitchen and ask for hot water, and the rest is on me."

So when Ah Xiang and Shu Tai woke up, they not only packed their toilets, but also steamed hot breakfast such as porridge, rolls and fried dumplings on the table.Qing'er held the washbasin and wanted to kneel down so that the master could wash his face, but was pulled up by Shu Tai.

"Don't dare to be. The master never allows us to kneel and kneel easily. Just stand."

Ah Xiang finished washing early and was drinking soy milk. Hearing this passage, she thought it was an opportunity to teach and give advice to the two of them.

"Master's errand here is the most difficult. It is different from other places. You have to remember two things. As long as there are no visitors, master is the most easy-going. Not only does he not like us kneeling, but he also hates flattery and lies. It is better to speak quickly. But If you have a guest, you have to look good, as taught by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With fake smiles all over your face, your mouth is sweeter than honey."

Qing'er and the others quickly nodded to express that they remembered.After dinner, Ah Xiang and Shu Tai changed their clothes.Right now, there is no need to be as cautious as in the palace, the clothes prepared for the maidservant next to Hai Feng in the princess mansion are no longer plain.

According to their own personalities, Axiang wears Wei purple, and Shutai wears silver red, both of which are of the finest Lu silk, with an ermine collar and a rabbit fur trim.Qing'er thought that the purple-brown Ning silk and silk-wool winter clothes they got yesterday were fine enough, and when she first got her hands on the clothes of her aunts, she was overwhelmed with emotion.

Ordinary young ladies from rich families probably use these clothes to meet people, but in the princess mansion, they are actually worn by the big maids every day.

Ah Xiang pinpointed the time when Hai Feng and Dobu got up, and took the little girl to serve, while Shu Tai had other errands to fill.

When they got to the courtyard, Fucha, who was on duty at night, saw the three of them coming, and whispered:
"It's not over yet, but it's coming soon. Ask them to bring hot water."

Dongsheng was young, so he didn't react for a while; Qing'er blushed a lot.Ah Xiang told them which utensils to prepare.

"What are you ashamed of, this will be the most important job in the future. If you are not the master's confidant, it's not enough. Go ahead."

When Ah Xiang entered, Hai Feng had already got up by himself, sitting in front of the dressing table and arranging her hair.

"Don't you hurry up? I was the last one to arrive at the Qianqing Palace, and I was the one who was called to be scolded by the empress dowager."

Dobu, who was still enjoying the remaining warmth, had no choice but to turn over and sit up abruptly.Ah Xiang knelt down, trying to put on boots for him, but Dobu swung her back.

"Don't dare, go and serve the princess. You are her servant girl, I dare not order you around. I won't have breakfast."

Ah Xiang thought that it was too late at this time, and she was ready to have a backhand.

"The pork with green sauce between the sesame biscuits and the hot milk tea in the pouch are all handed over. You can just ask Ba Lezhong for it."

In the reflection of the mirror, Hai Feng smiled at Dobu and said:

"If you are capable, you will not eat the meal prepared by my girl."

Dobu was really in a hurry to go out, and when he was putting on his clothes, he pinched Haifeng's arm while he was in a mess.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I come back at night."

After he left in a hurry, Hai Feng asked Ah Xiang to open the cabinet to choose clothes.

"When will the Second Mistress of Mingzhu Mansion, Heyue County Wang Fujin arrive?"

"There's still an hour and a half left."

"That's good, I'll catch up on sleep again. You can choose, just don't be too gorgeous."

Hai Feng deeply felt that, stimulated by the festive colors these days, she was almost becoming color-blind.

Ah Xiang picked out a lotus root pink gown embroidered with double butterflies, put it on the shelf, pulled Qing'er out, and opened the warehouse door to get the jewelry.

"The second son of Lord Mingzhu's mansion married Princess Roujia's daughter, Gengshi. Since you are an old man in the San Francisco mansion, you know who I'm talking about?"

"I know, Princess Shang Roujia's forehead son-in-law is the grandson of King Jingnan."

"Yes. This princess Roujia is not the emperor's biological sister. She was originally the daughter of the old Prince An. The empress dowager brought her to be the adopted daughter of the former emperor. She was raised in the palace since she was a child and married to the forehead at the age of 12. Her age Went away at a young age, and gave birth to three sons and only one daughter, who was promised to the second son of Lord Mingzhu's house. For Princess Roujia's sake, the second mistress has always had face in the palace and has a good relationship with the master."

Qing'er desperately remembered these things.

"Then, if you dare to ask my aunt, how should I serve Yue Jun Wang Fujin?"

"She... that has a big background. The daughter of the uncle Tong Guogang, the cousin of Queen Tong. You will know it when you see it, and I can't tell. In Tong's family, she is the only one who understands. It's a pity , put on such a niece."

After careful calculation, Qing'er found that the second grandma in Mingzhu Mansion was Fujin's niece in her husband's house; but according to Aunt Axiang's contemptuous tone, the niece she was talking about was definitely not the second grandma, but someone else.

After taking out the jadeite flat squares, suet white jade bracelets and other things that matched the clothes from the library, Ah Xiang took the time to instruct Qing'er and Dongsheng how to pour tea and open the door curtain.Mammy Dong's eyesight is really sharp, the two little girls learn quickly and well.

"Sure, then you guys will practice today. Don't be afraid. The two distinguished guests often come to Yikun Palace, and they are good friends with the master, so there are mistakes, so don't worry about it. You have to see the world once before you can learn something real."

So Ah Xiang went to comb Hai Feng's hair, and the two newcomers went to the gate to find Shu Tai and greet the two female guests together.

　Wei Zi is a color between red and purple, and the tone is relatively dull; silver red is relatively bright and lively; Tong Guogang's daughter is actually Ji Fujin, and the original partner of Yue Junwang is Borzigit, who left earlier.I found that many Mongolian noble girls did not live very long after they married in the capital.Lu silk is as famous as Shu brocade and is one of the three famous silks. Ning silk is a silk originally produced in Nanjing, hence the name.It is also very good, but it is cheaper and easier to get than Lusi.Mingzhu's second son is Nalan Xingde's younger brother.
