That day, when Ling Zhi brought Yunniang and Liuli back to Anfu, it still caused a lot of commotion.After all, Ling Zhi is a man, and he brought back two female relatives suddenly, and they were both scarred, which would always attract criticism.When An's mother heard about this, she also sent someone to inquire, but Ling Zhi could only explain it dumbfoundingly.It was only then that everyone realized that these two were newly bought official slaves by Ling Rong, so they were relieved.Yunniang and Liuli were arranged to recuperate in Lingrong's yard. When Lingrong and Ling Yong came back, Yunniang had already woken up and kowtowed in gratitude.

Yunniang and Liuli were bought by Lingrong, so naturally Lingrong took care of it himself, but Yuefeng was still from the public, and the Bai family was very dissatisfied with this in private. Worried about An Bihuai, he wanted to add one or two servants to An Linglong and An Ning.

"I don't even look at my own status. A small concubine and two concubines who are not on the stage want to compare with the mausoleum! She is also worthy, and I am not afraid of losing my fortune!" Mother An slammed the table , said angrily.

"Grandmother, why are you getting angry over such a trivial matter? What can happen if you lose your temper!" Ling Rong said with a smile and followed her back for An's mother. "Brother Linglong has always been weak, and Aunt Bai has to serve his father and take care of his younger brother. There are always times when she can't take care of him. It is not necessary for multiple people to take care of Brother Linglong. Grandma must find a gentle and caring person for him. As for Sister An Ning, the engagement has already been made. Grandmother thinks it’s time to find a nun to teach her? Sister is Qingli, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but not ordinary. But Sister In the future, if you marry in the past, you will be the head of the house, this is not a common thing, but you will be bullied." Lingrong said kindly.

"Rong'er is right. Grandmother is thinking about it. Grandmother, let's get someone to find someone. I must choose a suitable and capable person for her, so as not to let someone say that my old woman is unfair in doing things." Mother An patted Ling Rong's hands were filled with admiration.As for An Ning, she never expected that a concubine who was not in the public eye would be of any benefit to the An family, as long as she behaved well, kept herself safe, did not cause trouble, and did not affect the An family's reputation.Ling Rong just smiled at this and didn't comment.

An's mother moved very quickly. Three days later, An Linglong and An Ning's house each added a servant. The former got a gentle and considerate beautiful girl named Shao Yao; the latter was a powerful nun. , It is said that he is specialized in teaching Miss Boudoir about the house, and has rich experience.Of course, in order to show fairness, Mother An added another person to each of the children, and Lingrong was no exception. In this way, there were four maids and two nuns around Lingrong. Indeed a lot.

Counting the Yunniang mother and daughter brought back earlier, there are three more people in the mausoleum, and it is inevitable that they will have to be retrained.The maid rewarded by An's mother is called Qingyu, who is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was carefully selected by An's mother. The eldest girl Baoshu took her with her, and slowly adjusted and taught; the one who surprised Lingrong the most was Yunniang. Yunniang was originally a medical girl with profound family knowledge. Treating some lowly maids or the last young masters, but it is enough to surprise Ling Rong.It's just that Yunniang's family is thin, her parents died, her husband died young, and she has only one daughter with nothing to rely on.In addition, Yunniang herself is not a person who knows how to make money, so she was implicated in a secret palace curtain incident, became a scapegoat, and her whole family was used as official slaves. After several twists and turns, she was exiled to Songyang County as a Saved by Ling Rong.

It was approaching the end of the year, although Ling Rong felt that he still had too many things to accomplish and too many things to plan, but now he had to put them aside for the time being.New Year's Eve is the most important day of the year, and the New Year's Eve is also the most complicated period for dealing with human affairs.

Although Songyang County is not big, there is no shortage of powerful and powerful people, and the foundation of the An family is too weak, and there are too many official affairs that need to be dredged.Over the past year, the money at home has decreased at a rapid rate, but more money is still needed.Seeing that the amount of silver in the account was getting less and less, An's mother and Fang's family were a little anxious, and Ling Rong was also a little anxious, so they could only find ways to raise funds, just to survive the New Year's Eve.At this time, it was Liuli who solved Ling Rong's urgent need.

"You made all of these?" Ling Rong couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the lifelike palace flowers in different shapes in front of him.

"It was done by a servant girl. Miss saved my mother's life. Liuli has nothing to repay her. She can only make a few palace flowers to express her affection. I hope Miss will not dislike her." Liuli nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes, stammering and explaining.

"You have a heart." Ling Rong picked up a red plum palace flower and played with it carefully.The flowers are not big, about three times the size of real red plums. Each flower has five thin petals, which are delicate and soft. The stamen in the center is made of gold and silver thread, which is very delicate.When the wind blows gently, the petals and stamens are swaying in the wind, and there seems to be bursts of plum fragrance floating in, which is very delicate.

Lingrong picked up the few remaining palace flowers, there are many kinds of flowers, such as peony, peonies, orchids, peach blossoms, camellias, pomegranates...even chrysanthemums, each one is very delicate, and the characteristics of each flower are carefully selected. They are all very precise.

Since ancient times, when women tie their hair on their heads, the more they have, the more expensive they are, and the less they have, the more impolite they are.From commoners to queen mothers, there is no woman who does not cherish her hair. No matter how expensive these beautiful and delicate palace flowers, hairpins, and jewelry are, countless women flock to them.If it is run well, it can be regarded as a good business.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good craftsmanship. I like it very much. There are a few purses here. You should share them one by one. It's considered as happy money for the New Year. You can take the share of Aunt Yun, Liuli together." Go back." Ling Rong signaled the nanny to take out the things, and the little girls happily took them.

"Miss is a great kindness for taking our mother and daughter in. How can the servant take the money from the miss? The servant..." Liuli was a little embarrassed and refused to go forward to collect it.

"You just have to keep it if you give it a reward, and serving the lady wholeheartedly in the future is the best reward." The nurse involuntarily stuffed the remaining two purses into Liuli's hands, and Liuli hurriedly thanked her and accepted them.

"Liuli, have you spent a lot of effort on these palaces?" Ling Rong put the red plum palace flower on his head and stroked it gently.

"Miss Hui, my servants used to make these palace flowers, and they were very skilled. A flower can be finished in a quarter of an hour or at most two quarters of an hour. In the past, sometimes the maids and sisters who were serving in the palace would also buy slaves to make them. What about the palace flowers. If there are better materials, the slaves can make them better and more beautiful." Liuli said happily while touching the purse in her hand carefully.

"Liuli, how many tricks can you make in total?" There are almost ten kinds here, which is quite a lot, but they still can't meet the requirements of Ling Rong.

"This servant hasn't calculated it. As long as it is a flower that this servant has seen, it can basically be made." Liuli said with a smile, with a child's self-confidence and flamboyance.

"Liuli also knows medicine? I see that many of the palace flowers you made are flowers that can be used as medicine." Lingrong picked up a peony and played with it carefully.

"Miss Hui, my servant started studying medicine with my grandfather when I was four years old, and I started to go to the mountains with my mother to collect, dry and prepare medicines at the age of eight, so I am very familiar with medicinal herbs. My grandfather once said that I am more learned than my mother." The talent of medicine should be passed on to me. Later, when my grandfather passed away, my maidservant learned from my grandfather’s handwriting. Occasionally, my mother would give me some advice. My mother’s medical skills are not as good as my mother’s." Liuli detailed said.

"Very well, since it is your grandfather's last wish, you must not let it down. If you need any medicinal materials in the future, you can go to the nanny to buy some silver taels. If you can learn something in the future, maybe I can help you and Yunniang Open a clinic." Ling Rong promised.

"My servant, thank you for your cultivation! This servant will definitely work harder, and will not disappoint Miss's expectations." The little girl promised energetically.

"It's too early to say these things. There are more important things to ask you to do now."

"Miss, if you are suitable, you can just tell me to do it. The slaves will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want."

"It's not that serious. I just think the palace flowers you made are very beautiful. I like them very much. I want you to make all the tricks you know." Ling Rong smiled lightly.

"Yes! This servant promises not to disappoint Miss." The little girl accepted the order happily.

"Well, later, you and grandma will go to my small storeroom to pick some suitable satin, and then take the silver to buy some gold and silver thread or fine gemstones. If you need anything else, you can directly contact grandma. Mammy said, "Make every pattern you know, and you will be rewarded for doing it well!" Ling Rong said happily.

"Yes! The servant girl will definitely not disappoint the miss." Liuli assured again.

"Okay, I have nothing to do here, you all go down and rest." Ling Rong waved his hands to make everyone retreat, and he took these palace flowers to enjoy.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered that at the palace banquet in the year when I first entered the palace, the concubine Hua, who was still doting on the harem at that time, proudly told everyone that her palace flowers were made of gold and silver threads and gem beads, unlike ordinary palace flowers. The flowers are made of satin and are perishable. At that time, she was full of envy.It's a pity that the beauties are cut off before they are old, the pearls and flowers and emerald rings are still there, but people have changed.Concubine Hua is indeed domineering and hated by others, but she is also pathetic and pitiful.Back when she was high above, everyone wanted to avoid her edge, the queen and Zhen Huan were no exception; but when she was down, everyone rushed to step on her!In this harem, there are intrigues and mutual conflicts, which will never end.No one can escape that struggle, and none of the women in the harem can live happily.

Suddenly losing the mood to admire, Ling Rong put away all these palace flowers.After sitting silently for a while, he packed up his mood and went to the small study, not letting his thoughts run wild.There are still five days until New Year's Eve, and there are still many things that need to be dealt with by her. She has no time to worry about autumn and spring.
