"Your Highness."
Hu Yanjin turned around and greeted again.
Qin Yaoguang actually saw a trace of clear innocence on his beard and hairy face: Haven’t we already said it all? Why are you calling me back?
Does he really not understand, or is he pretending not to understand?
Forget it.
Qin Yaoguang was too lazy to guess and said directly: "General Huyan, please give two messages to the prince consort. The first one is to say that Xue Rensu, who the Minister of the Ministry of Defense intends to adopt, is in the Plum Garden, and the Xue family has not made any moves yet."
Up to now, there are five people who have brought gold to redeem it.
But, compared with Xue Rensu, they are just extras.
After she finished speaking, Hu Yanjin immediately repeated it and said, "I will make a note of it!"
"Second, this princess asked him, the fourth girl in the mansion is already ten years old, do you plan to let her remain nameless?"
Hu Yanjin immediately learned it again.
He is illiterate, but has an excellent memory and ability to imitate.
The message Qin Yaoguang asked him to deliver was all in plain language, not the classical Chinese that Yan Changqing asked him to deliver that day. He memorized it once in his mind and learned it again, without missing a single word.
Now, after he learned it, he could even imitate Qin Yaoguang's expression and gestures vividly.
It's really hilarious to see such a rough man imitating a woman's movements and suddenly showing off his shyness and embarrassment.
Qin Yaoguang laughed and said, "No wonder the prince consort asked you to deliver the message. You really did imitate him well."
Chunfen couldn't hold back his laughter, so he had to lower his head.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. The general also praises me in the same way!" Hu Yanjin clasped his fists, with a proud expression on his face, even his beard stood up.
Qin Yaoguang gave him a purse and said seriously, "These two messages must be told to the Prince Consort in person. No third person can know. Do you understand?"
On the surface, Yan Changqing was still escorting the captives and the princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom on the way. Judging from the itinerary they were taking back, it would take at least twenty days.
However, she didn't mention it, and neither did Hu Yanjin.
"I will obey your orders!"
This time, Hu Yanjin did not retreat immediately.
Qin Yaoguang picked up the teacup and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "General Huyan, is there anything else?"
"The last general..."
He scratched his nose, glanced at Chunfen who was standing behind Qin Yaoguang, and asked, "The girl I met last time is not here today?"
It was a bit rude of him to ask this question.
How could the soldiers under the command of the prince consort go directly to ask the mistress of the house and the maid who serves her?
If you really want to ask, you have to go through the prince consort.
Fortunately, Qin Yaoguang was not the original eldest princess, and the concept of etiquette and legal constraints was not so strong in her mind. She did not care about him, but just thought about it, but did not understand who he was referring to.
Chunfen thought carefully for a moment, then said "Ah", and asked, "General, are you talking about the white dew I saw in Zhufeng Courtyard that day?"
Hu Yanjin had only been to the princess's mansion once, and that was when he delivered a message for Yan Changqing.
Chunfen recalled that he arrived at Zhufeng Courtyard first that day, and happened to meet Zeng Xia, who was bullying his master by passing himself off as a good servant, and Bailu Guyu, who was ordered by his master to deliver things to the children of Zhufeng Courtyard.
Later, it was Bai Lu who conveyed the message to his master on behalf of Hu Yanjin.
"Miss Bailu?"
Hearing this name, Huyan Jin thought happily: So this is her name, it sounds nice.
At that time, Bai Lu did not report her name. He only heard someone calling her, but it was not clear.
He rubbed the back of his head cheerfully and said, "I have been working for the general these days. I saw that the dolls sold by the Western Region merchant were really cute, so I bought some and thought I would give them to Miss Bai Lu when I have the chance."
When Qin Yaoguang summoned him today, he put the thing in his arms.
I left in too much of a hurry just now. Luckily I called him back before I finished talking.
As he spoke, Hu Yanjin took out a pair of palm-sized gilded rabbits from his arms.
As he said, the rabbits were really cute. They were golden in color, and their eyes were decorated with two tiny rubies, which were as bright as fire.
However, no matter how slow Qin Yaoguang was, he understood that his behavior was quite inappropriate, and he winked at Chunfen.
Chunfen immediately shouted, "How dare you! You are a foreigner, and giving such things to others, won't it make people think that this is a private transaction?"
Hu Yanjin seemed to understand what he said, and said aggrievedly: "I...I didn't do it privately, so I just wanted to ask Your Highness to pass it on."
Qin Yaoguang held his forehead.
Yes, he is a Hu person.
The nature of the Hu people is different from that of the Han people. They have not been taught etiquette since childhood, so they are quite unrestrained in expressing their love.
For such people, it is better to play the straight ball than to beat around the bush.
"Hu Yanjin, do you like Bai Lu?"
Hearing Qin Yaoguang's straightforward question, Chunfen was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their rims. He could not help but secretly feel lucky that in order to facilitate the conversation, there were only three of them in the flower hall.
If other people heard the eldest princess's remarks, they would probably make up stories about her.
Hu Yanjin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"How old are you and are you married?" Qin Yaoguang asked again.
"I am eighteen years old. I have been running around all these years. I dare not delay the girls and have never married." Hu Yanjin clasped his fists.
eighteen?!
!!!
Qin Yaoguang lost her composure and asked, "You're only eighteen?"
It can't be said that he grew up in a hurry. No matter how you look at it, he is still a vigorous and brave young warrior. But, eighteen? Twenty-eight is about right.
Qin Yaoguang felt like he was almost petrified.
"I dare not lie to Your Highness."
Fine.
Qin Yaoguang said tiredly: "Do you know how old Bai Lu is?"
She got married at the age of seventeen, and the Empress Dowager sent four carefully trained maids of the four solar terms as dowry. They were about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Now, ten years later, she is almost 30 years old, and the maids are all around 25 years old.
When Qin Yaoguang was reading the original book, he always felt that this was a big bug.
At this age, women in ancient times would have already married and had children, and their children would have been old enough to help with the household chores.
But the four maids around the original owner had always been single, and after the original owner met with a miserable end, she never told them where they went.
Perhaps, this is because the original owner was just a cannon fodder female supporting role used to set off the heroine. When the author was writing the book, he did not carefully think about the interpersonal relationships around her.
Ever since Qin Yaoguang came here, she has discovered quite a lot of similar omissions.
Originally, she thought that since Huyan Jin was interested, she might as well go with the flow and start to resolve the maids' lifelong affairs.
If Bai Lu is willing, it will be a good start.
Next, she can slowly keep an eye out for suitable candidates for these loyal maids.
But at this age...
The difference is too huge!
Hu Yanjin didn't understand what Qin Yaoguang meant, and asked expectantly, "Your Highness, may I ask how old Miss Bai Lu is this year?"
Chunfen lowered his eyes, with some regret in his voice, and answered for Qin Yaoguang: "General, Sister Bailu is twenty-four this year."
