"Let them in." Yuntang waved his hand and asked the embroiderer to leave.

She originally didn't need the embroiderer in the mansion to make clothes.

Manager Xu of Xiuyulou led a group of people carrying twelve large boxes in and bowed respectfully to Yuntang.

"I am Xu Minglou, the owner of Xiuyulou. I am here on the orders of the boss to bring you the young lady's clothes and jewelry. Please have a look at them, young lady."

Yun Tang said, "No need. Go back and tell the boss that I will go to the palace first tomorrow and will go to see her later. I brought her some good things."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Seeing that Yuntang didn't count the items, Manager Xu didn't force him and just bowed and left.

During the whole process, he only politely bowed to Yong'an Hou who was standing beside him, and was much more respectful to Yuntang.

Butler Hu quickly sent the person out.

Yong'an Hou looked at Yuntang in surprise: "Tang'er, why is Xiuyulou..."

"I had already informed Senior Brother Seven about his business when I came to Beijing."

"I'm afraid the news of my arrival at the Marquis' Mansion today has already spread, so I sent the things given to me over here."

Yuntang explained nonchalantly and opened the lids of each box.

Ten boxes were filled with clothes, shoes, socks, and cloaks, covering everything from her home and travel to her formal attire and armor...

In addition to the clothes, there were two boxes of jewelry including various jade pendants and jade hairpins, but no rouge, powder, or cloth.

Everything seemed to be tailor-made for her, suitable for different occasions.

These twelve boxes of clothes and jewelry may not be enough to support the belongings of a noble lady.

But these clothes and jewelry came from the best embroidery shop in the capital, and were delivered shortly after Yuntang returned home.

Such a quick reaction and sufficient preparation are not something that any noble lady can do.

This senior brother's dedication and generosity made Marquis Yong'an feel ashamed.

You have to know that even though he still claims to be a kind father, he has only provided the child with a courtyard and a group of servants.

I haven’t had time to prepare any new clothes or jewelry.

These were things that the child's mother, Princess Kang Ning, should have taken care of long ago...

Yuntang did not ask anyone to put these things into the house, but just waved his hand and put them all into the space.

After thinking for a while, she took out a few more boxes and asked the four maids who were frightened by her methods to take them into the house.

You always have to put some things in the house. You can't take everything from the space. Just leave some things in the space for easy replacement when you go out.

All that Senior Brother Seven sent were worldly things, and all that she brought were Taoist robes.

Marquis Yong'an is right, this is the capital, and she is the marquis's legitimate daughter.

Although she doesn't care about what others think, others can't control her.

But if she wants to move around in the secular world, she can't always wear Taoist robes.

Besides, she has her duties and tasks.

She didn't care about showing off this skill in front of others, and it had already frightened the maids and servants, so that they no longer dared to be negligent.

Even a little fearful.

This fear came from his heartfelt fear of her, not from the support of Marquis Yong'an.

"Tang'er, I have to go to the study to take care of some official business. When your brothers come back in the evening, we will have a family reunion dinner."

Yong'an Hou had already gotten over the shock, but now he was used to seeing each other again, so he prepared to leave without asking any more questions.

Yuntang sent Marquis Yong'an out of the yard and told the servants to prepare hot water as she wanted to take a bath.

They traveled quickly, sleeping in the open air, and it only took them ten days to get from the eastern border to the capital.

Although Mrs. Feng and her group went to the East Territory to pick her up and returned two days earlier than her, it would probably take more than half a month for them to reach the capital.

With this weather, there will be heavy snow in two days, and the road to the north will be difficult to travel.

Yuntang took a hot bath, dried his hair, and changed into the new clothes and shoes given by his seventh senior brother.

She was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with cloud patterns and short boots. Her hair was still tied up in a Taoist bun with a green jade hairpin inserted in it.

The body is bound by a jade-buckle belt, with a plum-blossom white jade hanging around the waist to press the robe, and a silver bell sachet with a green tassel hanging on the other side.

A truly handsome young man!

The maid brought a pale blue jacket embroidered with silver thread, hesitated for a moment after looking at Yuntang's outfit, and then brought a silver-blue cloak embroidered with plum blossoms.

Yuntang took the cloak after taking a look, put it on himself, and adjusted his sleeves.

"Miss, why are you dressed like this for the family dinner tonight? Isn't it better to wear a ruqun?" Cuixiao, the maid, asked in confusion.

There is no Xiang'er or Wu Pozi among the head maids and housekeepers nowadays.

Since Yuntang moved to this big courtyard, Xiang'er and Wu Pozi returned to their original places and were no longer qualified to serve the eldest lady.

There are four first-class maids now, namely Hongjin, Cuixiao, Ziling and Qingluo, and the housekeeper is surnamed Yang.

These servants have never been involved in the affairs of Wuweiju, and they usually do their work conscientiously and carefully.

They had never seen the eldest lady's brutal methods, so naturally they were not that afraid.

Yun Tang looked at her and explained, "Maybe I'll go out at night, so I won't change it."

"Miss!" Cui Xiao was startled and reminded quickly.

"Young ladies in the mansion cannot leave the house at night, and noble ladies in the capital cannot go out so casually."

"Don't worry about it. Just follow my orders. Otherwise, you don't have to stay here."

Yuntang glanced at Cuixiao indifferently, then walked out.

Cui Xiao looked panicked and didn't know whether to report it to Butler Hu.

In the end, it was Zi Ling who pulled her.

He whispered, "There are guards, courtyard guards, and Butler Hu in the mansion. The young lady will definitely know if she goes out."

"We are the young lady's maids. It is our duty to obey her orders. Wouldn't telling tales be considered surveillance?"

Yuntang walked in the courtyard, listening to the maids' mutterings behind him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Yes, if he goes and tells tales about her, wouldn't that be surveillance?

Yuntang went to Songhe Hall in the north courtyard to pay his respects to the old lady.

Mrs. Gerhard looked at her with a complicated expression, trying her best to force a relatively kind smile.

"The old lady is not feeling well and has gone to bed."

"The young lady looks really good in this outfit."

"Wait a couple of days until the old lady feels better, then call the young lady over to talk."

Mrs. Ge had witnessed Yuntang's methods in Wuweiju, so she no longer dared to look down on this thirteen-year-old girl as she did before.

She tactfully explained why the old lady didn't want to see Yuntang.

He also praised Yuntang's current outfit, but I don't know if it was a gesture of goodwill, or was he saying that he looked more down-to-earth without the Taoist robe?

As for what happened in two days, it was purely a courtesy.

Yuntang didn't care and turned to go to Jinhua Hall to pay his respects to Princess Kangning.

Naturally, they couldn’t even get into Jinhua Hall.

So she prepared to go out to visit the Beijing night market.

Five years ago, when she was in the capital, she followed her ninth senior brother around and was not unfamiliar with the capital.

Just as I was about to turn the corner of the garden, a handsome young man came towards me on the flower path.

When the boy saw her, he was stunned at first, then he strode towards her angrily.

"Who are you? Are you the wild Taoist priest who bullied Xue'er when he entered the mansion today?"

"I'm telling you, Xue'er is my sister! Don't even think about it..."
