Houmen's wife

Chapter 123
The two maids were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to stay aside.

Mother Jiaoyin was a little dazed. These two maids are considered to be from wealthy families. It is said that if you come out, you will understand the rules, at least you will not lose face of the master. This third lady...

Nian Qing sneered, as long as she is loyal and smart, it is good, so why should she be born.

A court lady raised her eyes and looked at Nian Qing. Seeing Nian Qing's glance, she stuck out her tongue shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Nian Qing shook his head, "You, stand aside."

The maid's eyes turned red when she heard that, and she had no choice but to go out.

Nian Qing sighed, this court lady is dexterous, but she is too simple to stay in this center of power, she said to Jiao Yin, "Isn't Concubine Duan missing someone? Just arrange it with Concubine Duan." Serve."

After hearing this, Mother Jiaoyin gave Nian Qing a second look. It is true that this court lady is pure in nature, if she were to be placed here, it might be inappropriate.

Nian Qing took a closer look at their hands and feet. Two of them had calluses on their hands, and one had dark green nails. Nian Qing glanced at the maid with black nails, and saw that her back was straight and her expression was neither humble nor overbearing. A bit of arrogance.

This aroused Nian Qing's interest, and Nian Qing took the paperwork from Sister Jiaoyin's hand and read it.

The maid's name is Su Xin, she is from Longshan, Jiangdong, because her parents died early, her uncle sent her to the palace.Since his grandfather's generation, he has collected herbs in the mountains and sold them to pharmacies for a living.

Nian Qing smiled, "Suxin, do you understand medicine?"

Su Xin was a little surprised, and looked up at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a lotus-colored dress inlaid with gold silk embroidery, revealing a section of white satin pants inlaid with gold and peach patterns, and the small red agate earrings with gold thread circles printed her black as Mo, with skin as white as jade, big phoenix eyes slightly protruding, a faint smile on his mouth, a hint of intoxicating pear dimples emerging, and a warm and moist temperament that makes people feel comfortable.

Nian Qing looked at her with interest.After waiting for her to finish watching, he asked, "But are you satisfied?"

Su Xin was nodding secretly, but when she heard Nian Qing's question, she paused for a moment, her surprise flashed past, but she lowered her head and pursed her lips, and replied: "Miss is so charming, I admire you. This servant knows medicine .” Since I was young, I traveled all over the place with my father, so I naturally understand it.

Nian Qing nodded, speaking mellowly, with a clear idea.It's a useful talent.

"But have you ever thought about leaving the palace?" Nian Qing raised his eyes and asked, "If you are loyal, you can definitely leave the palace, and your uncle can also meet you once."

When Su Xin heard this, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.Before my father died, I handed myself over to my uncle. My uncle fully agreed and took the Yangchuntang, but he sent me into the palace without any mercy.If you can leave the palace...

She trembled, but looked at Nian Qing full of hope, "Can you?"

Nian Qing nodded, "Just be loyal."

Aunt He watched from the side, her heart moved secretly, the third lady is really amazing, she also noticed this Suxin just now, but her temperament is arrogant, she thought she was a master of climbing, but she didn't expect...

Loyalty is enough?

Su Xin raised her eyes, looked in Qi Yue's direction, she understood in her heart, she nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry!"

Nian Qing nodded, Aunt He immediately took Su Xin aside.

The other court ladies were envious, but they couldn't catch the third lady's eyes no matter what.

Looking at one of the women with rough hands, this woman is special, but her fingers are slightly callused, but the palms and backs of her hands are delicate and moist.

Nian Qing laughed, "Can you settle accounts?"

The maid in question was named Yuwei, the eldest daughter of the Lianbu Zhuang family in Qiantang County.In the local area, he is well-known for helping his father a lot.

"Slaves will settle accounts." Yu Wei bowed her head, her eyes were red from crying because of the separation and she dared not look up.

Nian Qing didn't ask any more questions, just took a deep look at Yu Wei, and then said to Sister Yin: "It's just these two people."

Jiao Yin said yes with a smile, and led the people away.

Nian Qing turned her head and said to Qi Yue: "Suxin is trustworthy, Yuwei has to be beaten because of her great ability, lest the slave bully the master."

Qi Yue nodded and asked Aunt He to observe more and use it after a while.

A few more days passed, and the capital was once again shaken by rumors.

a tea house.

"Have you heard? Recently, a matchmaker came to Anpinghou's mansion."

A man straddled the chair with his thighs, knocked on the beans, and said, "Which year did no matchmaker come to Anpinghou's mansion."

"It's different this time. I heard that the Marquis of Anping took the initiative to find it. I heard that they bought a lot of good things."

"Have you heard who the woman is?"

The man shook his head, but he was waiting to see who would get into the sedan chair on the day of passing the door.

Everyone is now thinking about it. Since the death of Madam Jin in the Hou Mansion, many ladies have been thinking about it. However, these four years have passed, and there are still only two aunts in the Hou Mansion, without a rightful owner. He looked forward to see which daughter would fall into the eyes of Anpinghou.

It is night, and the winter snow melts. People say that the coldest is not when the sky is covered with snow, but when the snow melts.

Yongfu Palace added more charcoal, Fu'er just came in from the outside, a gust of heat made her feel comfortable, she shook her body, and she smiled and said: "Miss, I think the snow will melt in a few days, we will invite you Let's go back to the palace, I heard that the Marquis of Anping has already bought them in a big way. I don't know what kind of gift to do."

The red candle was burning red, and the woman embroidered a pouch pattern with her hair in a bun. She glanced dissatisfiedly, and looked up at Fu'er resentfully, "Why is this pouch embroidered so ugly?"

Fu'er chuckled, and pointed again.

Nian Qing was not as happy as Fu'er, but felt a little heavy in her heart, she brushed her slender eyelashes, "Fu'er, why are our two families getting married, only our two know about it?"

Fu'er paused for a moment, yes, the marriage of the two families is a great joy, why did the Marquis of Anping not announce it to the world, but did it so secretly?
"You said..." Nian Qing paused, "Will my status as a concubine cause him trouble?" She didn't want to think about it, but she, who was always open-minded, began to worry about gain and loss.If he really cared about his status as a concubine, then...

Fu'er sighed, the lady is really a fan of the authorities, "Miss, the emperor earlier meant to let Anpinghou take you as a concubine, but if he married you in front of the emperor, the emperor would not blame Anpinghou, but would give it to you." Accuse you of seductiveness. Don't think wrongly. I think Hou Ye has been waiting for you for a long time. You can bear it even after waiting. It's not easy to get over it. You should leave it alone. A way out."
