A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 141 Three Teacups
He was still serious at first, but when he heard this, Shen Zaiye laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "You are amazing, how much benefit did you give that bug?"

Taohua twisted and crawled onto him, and said with a smile: "Master, to be serious, how are you going to deal with the prince?"

Smiling slightly, Shen Zaye looked at the person on him.In the darkness, his pupils were still glowing with a clear light, but the expression inside could not be seen clearly.

"Are you worried about him?"

"It's not that I'm worried." Taohua curled her lips: "What will happen to him, I knew it early in the morning, so I just asked casually."

Just ask?Shen Zaye sneered, thinking of her gaze at Mu Wuyin by Jietian Lake, she felt inexplicably irritable: "Are you trying to save his life?"

Shaking her head guiltily, Tao Hua said: "I don't have that ability, but the crown prince is kind to my concubine after all, if the Lord can save his life..."

"No." Interrupting her calmly, Shen Zaiye stretched out his hand to push the person away from him, closed his eyes and said, "That's not something you can manage, just stay in the backyard."

This road seems to be dead, Taohua pouted, and lay down with her back to him in displeasure.

Every time she sticks it up and hugs him, but this person just waved it away as soon as he said it, can't my old lady stop hugging her!

The two slept quietly, but Shen Zaiye couldn't fall asleep. He frowned and turned his head to look at the people next to him: "What's your temper?"

"Who lost his temper?" Tao Hua snorted and said, "Holding her hands hurts, I just want to sleep well."

The people behind were silent for a while, Taohua puffed her mouth and swore in her heart that she would never take the initiative to hug him again!As if she couldn't do without him!Who cares?

Shen Zaiya waited for a while, and when the person's breathing was even and finally fell asleep, he reached out to hug her back and let her hug him.Jiang Taohua, who was asleep, forgot all about the vows she had made, slammed her mouth and hugged the person next to her tightly.

"Fool." Someone in the room gave a low laugh, and then hugged her to sleep with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Shen Zaiye had disappeared, and Taohua didn't ask him where he was, so he packed it up on his own, and then went to the kitchen for a walk.

The house saves money, and the worst part is the kitchen purchases. It used to be a lucrative job, but now it's a hot potato.No, seeing Peach Blossom walking this way from a distance, Manager Liu who was in charge of purchasing hurried up to greet her.

"Ms. Ginger!"

Looking at the person in front of her, Tao Hua smiled: "What's the matter?"

"You...you are the merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara, please save this servant!" Guanshi Liu knelt down in front of her, and said pitifully, "Ma'am, let me save money, and the meat and vegetables in this mansion are all from expensive places." For those who buy goods, slaves are caught in the middle, and they have to pay back the money, how can they live in this day?"

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Tao Hua said innocently: "How can I help you? I'm just a lady."

"Guard Xu said that you are willing to help others." Guanshi Liu bowed again and again: "Didn't you be the one who overturned the case about her? It's such a small matter as a slave... I hope my lady can help me."

After watching him for a while, Taohua signaled him to get up, and went to the side to elaborate.

"Where do the vegetables and meat in the mansion come from?"

Liu Guanshi said with a bitter face: "It's from the distant relatives of Madam's natal family. Madam said that the meat and vegetables there are the freshest, but the price is also the most expensive. But now Madam ordered to save money. Madam Qin came over yesterday. Said, from now on, you only need ten taels of silver to buy vegetables every day, wouldn’t that mean half the house would starve to death?”

"You might as well talk to Madam directly about this matter." Tao Hua said, "Since it's her relative, and she gave the order, the person who untied the bell still needs to tie it, right?"

"How dare a slave?" Liu Guanshi shook his head: "Madam will only think that the slave is not effective, and another person will do it, so what should the slave do?"

It made sense, Tao Hua smiled: "Since Madam can't tell you, why don't you just tell Xiangye directly."

Liu Guanshi was taken aback for a moment, and hesitantly said: "Where does the slave have a chance to meet the Prime Minister?"

"It's simple." Tao Hua said, "Master Xiang likes to stroll in the garden recently, and I'll let Qingmoss take you there when the time comes."

"Thank you, lady!" Liu Guanshi hurriedly saluted, "It's just...if Madam blames the slave, will you still want to drive the slave away?"

"No." Taohua shook her head: "You have already spoken in front of Grandpa, if she touches you again, won't it be obvious that you will have trouble with Grandpa? Don't worry."

Makes sense!Guanshi Liu cupped his hands gratefully: "What Guanshi Xu said is true, the lady is really a bodhisattva!"

This compliment made her feel embarrassed, Taohua smiled, said goodbye to him and went back to sleep.

"Ma'am, this is really against me." Qingmos sighed and followed behind her and said, "It's so good, why do you want to save money?"

"Because Autumn Prime Minister will check the account books of the mansion." Taohua lazily said: "When she gave me the account books earlier, the mansion's expenses were reduced by half compared to the previous few months, but there was nothing wrong with the accounts. The comparison naturally made her look ugly."

Speaking of it, this is also a cycle of cause and effect. When she was in charge of the accounts, the house was very noisy, and various troubles followed one after another. But at the same time, there were fewer concubines who were idle and spending money.The people in the mansion were braved by the strong wind and rain, for fear of getting into trouble, so the oil and water they fished behind their backs also decreased.

She didn't do anything special, and such a result can be regarded as a blessing and a misfortune.

Moss clapped her hands gloatingly: "Then Madam needs to pay more attention."

Taohua continued to walk forward, thinking that the Mei family is not only trying to save money, her popularity in the mansion is also about to collapse.

Mei Zhaoxue didn't realize the issue of servants, what she cared about was that Jiang Taohua was in the same boat with several important ladies in the mansion.The previous three-legged and two-point situation had been broken, and after the reshuffle, he was actually a bit behind Jiang.

"Ms. Jiang is too good at being a human being." Gu Qingying kowtowed her melon seeds and said, "She doesn't compete with others, and she doesn't fight with others. Whoever is good to her will get the favor of the master. Then the people in this mansion Are you still holding her up? It’s not that the concubine wants to talk too much, Madam, if you slack off, maybe one day she will take the top spot.”

"Aren't you supporting her too?" Mei Zhaoxue smiled faintly: "So you have received a lot of favors."

Gu Shi was stunned, put down the melon seeds and ran to Mei Zhaoxue's side and said, "Isn't this concubine planning for the future? The favor she bestows should not be in vain, but my heart is for you, madam. Your father recently For my father's promotion, I will definitely help my wife."

The words are beautiful, but in fact, he is also a person who is interested in where the benefits are, so what kind of friendship can he talk about?Mei Zhaoxue hooked her lips, sipped her tea and said, "Now, the most favored ones are you and Nangong. You are both servants. Why doesn't she agree with you?"

"It's the same servant, and I'm not very familiar with it." Gu Qingying curled her lips: "She doesn't like to talk, and she is a bit dead-headed. She really thinks that she can rely on Mrs. Jiang for the rest of her life. She has no eyesight."

"Really? I heard that her brother has just entered the imperial court recently." Mei Zhaoxue said with lowered eyes, "If you have time, let's take her to Linghan Courtyard for a walk."

"Okay." Gu Qingying responded, smiled and backed out.

Mei Zhaoxue looked at the three teacups on the table, picked up one, and threw it into the basin next to it.

Two days later, Gu Huairou came to look for Taohua with an embarrassed face.

"Ms. Jiang, something happened."

Tao Hua was on her lunch break, and looked at her while yawning: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't my concubine's father be transferred to be an internal official?" Gu Huairou pursed his lips: "I received the news today and transferred to Zongzheng again."

"This is a good thing." Tao Hua said, "I've been promoted."

"But..." Gu Huairou frowned: "There has been news in the court before that this position should belong to Nangong Jiu. Right now, Mrs. Nangong might be angry, but when she met me today, she had a sullen face and left without saying a word."

Taohua shrugged: "What does the imperial court's dispatching matter to you? She probably just can't think about it for a while, and it will be fine in a few days. By the way, is Zongzheng of the Great Wei in charge of royal affairs?"

"Exactly."

Feeling overjoyed, Tao Hua quickly took her hand and said, "You may have to do me a favor after that."

Gu Huairou nodded: "As long as it is the lady's order, I will definitely do my best."

That's really great, Taohua smiled and rolled her eyes, and she didn't care about other things for a moment. Once this road is paved, she will be able to repay the kindness of others.

However, the next night, when Gu Huairou was taking a bath and preparing to go to bed, a maid in the Wenqing Pavilion accidentally dropped a bucket of hot water that hadn't had time to cool down on Gu Huairou's pocket.

The Wenqing Pavilion exploded in an instant. When Jiang Taohua arrived, Gu Huairou was locked in the room and no one was seen. Even the medical girl barely applied ointment on her and was kicked out.

"How's it going?" Taohua frowned and asked Dr. Li.

Dr. Li shook her head again and again: "The whole face was scalded, and her body was also reddened a lot. Her appearance is ruined, but her life is not bad."

Taking a deep breath, Tao Hua stared.Women have ruined their looks, how many are willing to live on?

"Are you sure she's still alive?!"

Dr. Li was taken aback, but before she could answer, she saw Jiang Taohua kick the locked door open!
Gu Huairou's head was covered with a black veil, and she was about to hang herself.

"Hey!" Scared half to death, Tao Hua hurriedly asked Qing Moss to hug her down, and tied her hands behind her back with a rope: "What are you doing!"

Gu Huairou said in a hoarse voice: "I've never been so ugly in my life, and it's useless to live, it's better to die!"

"Could it be possible that a woman can only live on her face?" Tao Hua said urgently, "Calm down first, and then we can find a way. There should be a lot of medicines for promoting muscle growth and beauty in the mansion..."

"It's useless." Gu Huairou shook his head: "I can't bear to see myself like this, it's hopeless!"
