I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

Gu Zhu slept soundly for a whole afternoon, and only woke up warmly at night when the lanterns were just under the moonlight and the snow was falling. She didn't even open her eyes under the quilt, so she mumbled in a low voice, "I want to drink water."

The girl who served Gu Zhu's children on weekdays was named Xiao Man. She had served Gu Zhu for five years. She used to be a tea-serving maid under the maid of the princess mansion. , Changing and washing in the room, dressing when going out, she has to nod every day before giving it to the young master.

Eighteen-year-old girl Xiaoman is currently collecting treasures at the small table next to the bed, but her ears are listening to all directions, when she suddenly hears a soft sound coming from the Qiangong bed, she hastily put down the work she was doing, and changed it with her The warm tea eight times went into the curtain.

"Young Lord, are you awake?" Miss Xiaoman has an oval face, plump and beautiful, and she speaks like a bird singing, crisp and sweet, as she carries the water glass over, she lifts the thick The bed curtain was hung on the hook next to it, and the little ancestor was helped up on the bed and said, "Come on, drink quickly, you are thirsty, I will go to the son-in-law after drinking, the fifth master was just listening to Guanshi Guo's reply in the study Well, I should be done with my work now. Oh, what do I want to eat? Should I ask the small kitchen to make some warm fish soup or ask the restaurant outside to deliver it?"

Gu Zhu nestled in Xiaoman's sister's arms. After drinking two sips of tea, she didn't want to open her eyes. She stretched lazily, her head was muddled, and she regained her energy when she heard her sister asking what to eat. She squinted her eyes. With curved crescent eyes, he said with a smile: "Ask the restaurant to deliver it. There is a cook in Yunkelai. It is delicious to make eight-treasure duck."

Miss Xiaoman immediately smiled, tapped the tip of Gu Zhu's nose, and said: "The princess just said in a letter last time, telling the young master to eat more soup and water in winter, it is nutritious and can grow taller quickly, then Babao duck is so greasy. It’s not troublesome to ask the cook back and forth. You must be hungry now. How can you wait for an hour or two to eat Babao duck? Why don’t you ask the people in the small kitchen to cook it today? It’s a pot, the fungus sent by Chang’an are still fresh.”

As soon as Gu Zhu heard that the princess lady hadn't finished eating the mushrooms, she didn't think about the eight-treasure duck outside, opened her eyes warmly in her heart, and said to Sister Xiaoman in agreement: "That's right, mother may not eat the mushroom pot today, Hey, that's great."

Little Gu Zhu, who had already become confused about the appearance of the princess mother, woke up and stretched a little. Sister Xiaoman pulled the red bellyband in her obscene clothes, and was about to get out of bed.

Miss Xiaoman hurriedly stopped her and said, "Oh my little ancestor, wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, Miss Xiaoman rang the bell on the bedside, and five servants with bowed heads and chests came in immediately, and each servant brought in a charcoal basin, placed them in the corners of the slightly smaller conservatory, and hurried out again: "Okay , come out of the bed now, and change clothes when it is warm."

Gu Zhu nodded obediently, and stepped on the bed to wait for someone to serve her. She was used to being served by others. When she saw Sister Xiaoman taking out a gaudy red and green dress from the cabinet, she shook her head and said: " It’s evening, just wear casually, isn’t there a white dress with a vase pattern? I like that.”

In fact, it’s not that I like it, and it’s not that Gu Zhu doesn’t appreciate the bright red and green color scheme. It’s good-looking, but I always feel that I’m too conspicuous. I was tied up today because I dressed like a red envelope. He is a conspicuous fellow!

Miss Xiaoman didn't know what her little ancestor was thinking, so she said with a smile: "Don't worry, those frosty clothes are for summer, now it's Chinese New Year, so you should dress festively, so that luck will gather more on you .”

After Miss Xiaoman finished speaking, she put the red and green eight-treasure-patterned gold-trimmed jacket on the bedside, put it on for little friend Gu Zhu, and then pursed her lips and took it out of the small drawer on the bedside. He took out the long-life lock wrapped in a silk handkerchief, and solemnly put it on Gu Zhu's neck. With red eyes, he coaxed: "From now on, don't take it off, otherwise, or next time today's incident will happen again. I can't explain to the princess."

The longevity lock hanging around the neck is a big gold ring like a necklace, with a large 24K pure gold lock on it, and eight thin small bells hanging from it. Gu Zhu weighed it in private, and it weighs at least 30 grams. It's okay to wear it for a while, but if he wears it for a long time, he must suffer from cervical spondylosis.

"It's not that I'm unlucky because I didn't wear these." Gu Zhu put on his shoes, walked to the mirror and looked around, um, I feel that I have the inner smell of a big brother in the Northeast, and I only need sunglasses.

"You have to wear it. The princess prayed for you from Longquan Temple. The old abbot of Longquan Temple predicted that Emperor Wuling would recover the rivers and mountains. He is very spiritual."

After hearing this, Gu Zhu immediately changed his attitude a lot: "Is there such a thing? After that, I won't go to bed anymore!"

Immediately behind him came a hearty and deep laughter: "Why don't you take it?"

As soon as Gu Zhu turned her head, she was picked up by Dabing Daddy who entered the room at some time, holding her armpit up, and happily sat on Dabing Daddy's lap.

"father!"

Gu Zhu immediately hugged Dad Pie like a little koala, and Dad Pie first took a look at his right little finger. He probably didn't see anything wrong, so he waved his hand and followed Miss Xiaoman. Steward Guo said: "Okay, you all go down and let the kitchen prepare dinner."

Miss Xiaoman and Guanshi Guo can be regarded as the two big housekeepers inside and outside the Ming Garden. They usually do not interfere with the water in the well, and they have not even exchanged a few words. Now they went out together, but they glanced at each other at the gate of the courtyard. Guo Guan started in advance, saluted very politely, and said: "Miss Xiaoman, my father said that I have something to ask the girl, and I hope the girl will agree."

Miss Xiaoman looked at Guanshi Guo, who was always serious in words and smiles, and followed the son-in-law's side. She didn't nod, but said: "Since it is the son-in-law's order, Xiaoman naturally wants to listen, but I don't know what it is." What's the matter?"

"The fifth master said that something happened to the young master today. The young master was worried about the princess and was afraid that the princess would be sad, so when he wrote the family letter, he did not let the fifth master tell the princess what happened. The fifth master agreed, but the fifth master felt that the matter must be serious. The truth must come to light, otherwise he will be as perfunctory as he was when he fell into the water, how can he be worthy of the filial piety of the young master?" Guo Guanshi's words were cold, but there was something in his words.

Miss Xiaoman naturally knew about the incident of the young master who fell into the water. She also knew that there were many doubts about the incident that year, but she ended it hastily. After the filial piety period expired, there was no mention of returning to Chang'an, which shows the twists and turns and darkness.

But Miss Xiaoman still couldn't bear to fight for the princess, and said coldly: "What does Guanshi Guo mean? It seems to blame the princess. Could it be that the princess hurt the young master? Back then, the young prince was taken by the son-in-law. When I came to Yangzhou, the princess couldn't sleep for several nights, so I rushed to make a small belly bag for the young master all night. How could it look like he didn't care about the young master? Don't worry, Guo is in charge, Xiaoman will know everything about today's affairs Write to the princess without missing a word, write it today, and arrive in two days."

Guanshi Guo nodded lightly: "Thank you, Miss Xiaoman." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Miss Xiaoman looked at Guanshi Guo more than once, and felt a little puzzled. She felt that the son-in-law sent Guanshi Guo to let her tell the princess that if the truth of this matter did not come to light, it would be as if he would never bring the young master back to Chang'an...

But what does this have to do with the princess?

It's not the princess who sent someone to tie up the young master, it's obviously a disaster.I heard that it was related to the bastard raised by the young lady in Xiangye's mansion. It was the bastard who caused the disaster. If you want to make trouble, go to the bastard. Why are you angry at the princess?

Miss Xiaoman still remembers the first time when she met the son-in-law, the son-in-law was not as fearful as he is now, that was the dream of many girls in Chang'an, he was full of chivalry, talented, and he could even provoke people when he was driving on the street. Many girls came and threw their handkerchiefs onto the cart, and Pan An threw fruit into the cart.

Although the princess is good-looking, she has a habit of liking the new and disliking the old, but for the sake of the son-in-law, she has become a joke among the rich women of Chang'an. , how can there be such a concubine who can't keep warm?

But it seems that there was a time when the music was harmonious. Miss Xiaoman remembered that when the young master was still in the princess's belly, the relationship between the consort and the princess seemed to be very good. Etiquette, talking and laughing, and after the young master was born about one year old, the taste gradually changed, and I don't know what's wrong...

Miss Xiaoman is not the big girl of the princess mansion, nor is she the princess' confidant, so she can't figure out where the change between the two masters came from, but it is certain that the two masters love the young master, otherwise It will not be as deadlocked as it is now.

Miss Xiaoman sighed, and presented the matter in its original form that night, and sent it to Chang'an by the courier. Two days later, Chang'an should have received the news, but in the general's mansion, it was the son-in-law who made the decision to draw a line with the case. I just said it was an accident, and asked the government to catch the robbers and chop them up. The government fished out the soaked corpses from the river and handed them over. The investigation went to the Xiangye's mansion, and it was said that the Xiangye's mansion also lost a concubine, which is a bad luck.

It's just that Gu Zhu didn't know the follow-up of these things at all, and no one mentioned the kidnapping in front of him in the past two days, and he always felt that he had forgotten something after drinking cold medicine and hiccups every day, but he soon returned. He was suffocated by a bunch of relatives who came to visit him and chattered back.

From the old lady who is the supreme leader of the general's mansion, to the fourth uncle who doesn't stay at home all day and goes there regardless of the weather, to the other two elder brothers headed by Big Brother Taki in the big room, and the three who love to go out and rummage antiques in the second room The concubine, the gentleman in the fourth room, the elder brother, and a bunch of nephews who call him "Uncle Zhu", and the nephews and grandchildren who are about the same age as him but call him "Grandpa Zhu", plus all the sisters-in-law and nieces-in-law. , A total of dozens of people, each of them took turns to ask for their health, Gu Zhu's head was big, and his face was stiff with laughter.

During the period, I found that Qiaoran's second brother didn't seem to come to see me, and asked Dabing's father, but the result was that Qiaoran's second brother was sick, so he didn't come because he was afraid that he would be angry with him.

Gu Zhu undoubtedly has it, being carried around by relatives all day long, finally freeing up, and heard that two little brothers came to play with him in the future, and asked him to see each other.

Gu Zhu knew that this was for him to find a servant to be close to in the future.

This is the case in the rich and powerful families. The most important butler next to the son is either a child who grew up with a distant relative or a son of a prominent figure in the family.

The former is connected with relatives. When he grows up in the future, if he starts a mansion and goes out alone, those playmates who followed him and accompanied him since he was a child will immediately be appointed as the chief stewards of his mansion, in charge of all practical affairs in the mansion. It's a really fat job. Many people feel that they can't trust others with this kind of job, so they give it to this kind of person.

But in the final analysis, there is no contract of prostitution for relatives who work for others, but it is different for family-born children. Family-born children have been slaves for generations, have no personality at all, can be killed and sold at will, and the master's family is firmly in control. The fate of the family's son, no matter how the family's son messes up outside, he will be able to control him backhanded in the end.

Gu Zhu has seen these two types of people before. Wang Xiao, who is often accompanied by the second elder brother, is the son of the family. He sneaks around the house and knows everyone. Nao Nao, even if he does something wrong, he still thinks that the whole family of Wang Xiao's family is working in the mansion, and he cares about the old love, so he handles it lightly.

Guanshi Guo next to my father is a distant relative of the Gu family. He heard that he was so far away that he was out of Wufu, and there is no name on the genealogy. However, Gu Zhu always felt that Guanshi Guo was much better than Wang Xiao.

For a family like Wang Xiao who had a child, it was a little bit of relying on the family to do things for the Gu family from generation to generation, so he cheered up.There is the posture of the real estate department of the later generations, and there are also some nannies who do not abide by professional ethics. The boss spends money to hire them, but in turn depends on their faces, or it is their own mansion, and I have not lived in it yet. Please come My aunt secretly took the whole family to live first, which is ridiculous!
