[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Chapter 18, The Fighting Xiao Guo

It is said that it is serving the Empress Dowager, but in fact, it will not really let Yimin stand by one side for a few moments.

After all, there is a specialization in art, and when it comes to serving people, the three of them packed together are not as good as the few maids around Xiaozhuang. It would be torture to Xiaozhuang if they really let them serve!

Although there is a lack of key information, Yi Min still feels keenly: Not only do they not want to be next to Xiao Zhuang, but Xiao Zhuang doesn't necessarily want to see them too much.

The specific manifestations are: except for showing their face in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang on the first day, and then they went to pay their respects, they were all blocked by Lagu Su Ma saying: "The journey is exhausting, so there is no need to be polite."

The Empress Dowager has always followed in the footsteps of the Empress Dowager, and she also avoids asking An to serve her.

So Yimin made another two trips out of spite, and happily stopped going.

Four masters and servants were sitting in a carriage, Yimin was holding a special deep cup, sipping the oil tea noodles brewed with hot water, and felt that life was going well.

The carriage traveled slowly, with stops and stops on the road. The scenery along the road was a bit fresh for the first two days, but then it became boring, even more boring than the palace.

Anyway, the palace still has gourmet storybooks and tea parties. The most important thing is that there is Zhuo Yuan in the palace, and you can also eat melons!

After being very depressed for two days, Yi Min found some fun again.

……

In the frame of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Aunt Su Ma walked into the interior of the carriage.Sitting under Xiaozhuang's hands, he reported: "Ge Ge, concubine Guo Luoluo has already left, let this servant give this sachet to Ge Ge."

He took it casually, put it under his nose and sniffed it, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang raised her eyebrows, "Sleep aid?"

I heard Aunt Su Ma say with a smile: "Yesterday Gege didn't sleep well at noon and had a headache for a long time. When Concubine Guo Luoluo paid her respects in the afternoon, the maidservant mentioned a word by the way, who knew she would remember it, and sent the medicine today." Bao, you have a heart too."

He took out a pouch from his sleeve and waved it in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, "It's another golden bead. These days, the purse given by concubine Guo Luoluo is enough for a year's salary for slaves!"

Glancing at her, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, your daily expenses are all for mourning, how can it not be more valuable than these few gold beads? Why are you talking to others just for a few beads?" It’s a good time to buy it.”

Aunt Su Ma and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang have been masters and servants for many years, so they naturally understood that these words did not mean to blame, so they said jokingly: "Didn't Gege say that? I want my servants to just hold it, but Concubine Guo Luoluo is rare and generous." , I’ll make the servants feel embarrassed.”

Then he asked tentatively in a low voice: "This Concubine Guo Luoluo is also from a Manchurian surname, and also intends to get close to Gege and the Queen Mother..."

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang understood what she meant, but she waved her hand noncommittally, "Let's have a look again, don't worry."

After all, the adopted elder brother is not as good as the one born by himself!As a last resort, she still hopes to have a prince of Borzigit blood.

……

"How is it? Did the Empress Dowager see Concubine Guo Luoluo today?"

Seeing Luliu bent down and getting into the carriage, Yimin and the others who were originally listless cheered up.

Lu Liu shook her head and sighed: "Not yet, but it seems that Concubine Guo Luoluo still hasn't given up."

With admiration for Guo Luoluo Lanjin, Yimin sighed, "I didn't realize she was such a persistent person."

Isn't that right? Unlike her and Concubine Tong's smooth sailing, Guo Luoluo Lanjin has super perseverance. These days, she is still unshakable and asks for greetings twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

She was still in a low mood when she left the palace, but within two days she found a new target and her fighting spirit was high again, much stronger than Concubine Tong Shu who was hiding in the carriage next door and never went out.

Although Xiaozhuang never saw her, she just didn't give up.

Yimin expressed deep admiration for Guo Luoluo Lanjin's dedication to work and love for his work.

Then she happily ate melons, guessing when the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang would let Guo Luoluo Lanjin into her old man's house.

What is disappointing is that the old lady Xiaozhuang is also a persistent person, until she arrived at the Tangquan Palace, she never paid attention to Concubine Guo Luoluo.

Following a plain aunt in dark gray clothes, Yi Min and others walked through the corridor all the way to a courtyard, and there was a wing room in front of them.

The aunt saluted respectfully, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing. She bowed slightly and said calmly: "This is Qingfengyuan, and the three young masters will live here. Let the three little masters decide for themselves."

After finishing speaking, she backed away slowly, "The facilities in the house have been prepared. If you need anything, you can ask someone to find a servant girl. There is a dining room not far ahead. You can get your daily meals and hot water from the dining room. The servant girl then left first."

Her words and movements flowed smoothly, her steps were steady but fast, even Yi Min who was the quickest to react didn't have time to stop her, she just watched her clothes disappear into the corner.

This aunt is so cool!

A group of masters and servants who were left in the yard looked at me and you, speechless for a moment.

It was Concubine Tong Shu who had seen the world, and when she came back to her senses, she said in a big sister's tone: "Then sister, I will choose this main house. I am very tired from traveling and traveling, so I will not chat with the two younger sisters. A younger sister is herself."

Taking advantage of Guo Luoluo Lanjin's stunned effort, Yi Min took the lead in choosing the east wing room with the best lighting, and she was very careful to ask Xiao Linzi and the others to quickly put their luggage in to occupy a seat.

At this time, whoever is polite is a fool, this is a place to live for at least two months!

Guo Luoluo Lanjin, who was a step behind, entered the west wing with a stomach full of anger, and her heart became more and more determined to please the empress dowager.

Among the three, Yi Min brought the least manpower. Concubine Tong Shu brought three court ladies and two eunuchs, Guo Luoluo Lanjin brought two court ladies and two eunuchs, and only Yi Min brought Lu Liu, Xiao Linzi and Xing'er three indivual.

This is also helpless, who told Yongshou Palace to have fewer people, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs originally wanted to add some people, but Yi Min refused, because she thought too many people were troublesome.

"That's it for now, I'll clean up tomorrow, let's wash and rest."

There are four rooms in the East Wing, but they are not too big, one is only half the size of the apse of Yongshou Palace, so Yimin waved her hand and lived in the main room by herself, and put the sundries in one, and let Luliu Xing'er and Xiao Lin Zi lives in a room alone.

Xiao Linzi laughed happily, with a bright smile on his round face, "It's still Xiaozhu's sympathy for the slave, and let the slave enjoy it."

Luliu, who was holding the clothes, was a little hesitant, and she said: "Today is the empress dowager's grace, let the young master and the two concubines take a rest, and tomorrow I will go to the empress dowager to greet and serve, I'm afraid I won't have time to clean up. "

It was only then that Yimin remembered in a trance: when he arrived at the palace, he had to clock in for work on time.

Can't fish anymore!

Ji Ling stood up, and Yi Min, with a serious face, pushed down the lazy bones that were gradually emerging, and continued to toss the room, tidy up and salute.

After cleaning around, I found a problem: there is no stove in the house!

It is a small problem for others, but it is a big problem for Yimin, the dining room is not open at night, there is no stove, how can she heat hot water at night?How to cook supper without boiling hot water?She can only starve if she doesn't cook supper!

After settling the three concubines, Aunt Lu went back to her room to rest and drink tea, but was approached by Concubine Dong's maid, asking for a stove.

Aunt Lu holding a teacup: "..."

Aunt Lu was speechless, but she was a capable and cool lady. In just one stick of incense, she even had the stove and charcoal ready.

She bent down and asked, "Is there anything else my lord needs?"

Yi Min felt embarrassed, she quickly helped Aunt Lu upright, and said with a blushing smile: "What Aunt has done is appropriate, but I am born with a big appetite, so I have to eat supper every day, so I have to trouble Aunt Lu again. There is nothing more needed."

Then asked Luliu to hand Aunt Lu a purse.

Aunt Lu took the purse quickly and naturally, squeezed it, looked a little satisfied, a smile appeared on her rigid face, then put the purse into her cuff, and saluted very purely and unpretentiously, " Thank you, my lord, for the reward."

Both Yimin and Luliu were stunned for a while, and Yimin subconsciously said modestly: "You're welcome, you're welcome..."

After she realized it, she couldn't hold back her smile, "We're going to live here for a long time, and we'll inevitably have to trouble my aunt in the future, so please take care of me..."

……

That night, Yimin wrote in a letter to Zhuo Yuan: "I have settled down in the east wing of Qingfengyuan, everything is fine, there is no need to worry... Aunt Lu who handles common affairs for us is a very interesting person, and like me likes cash registers." ...'

The letter was written, but it was not sent out, but Yimin put it in a wooden box with a lock, and kept it for Zhuo Yuan to read after returning to the palace.

After all, there is a practical problem to consider: her foundation is too shallow, and she can't find someone to send the letter to the palace to Zhuo Yuan.

The empress dowager often delivered letters to the palace, but Yi Min was timid and didn't dare to bother her old man.It's better to put it away like a diary, and share the aftertaste with Zhuo Yuan after returning to the palace.

After washing up, Yimin lying on the bed felt uncomfortable all over, and always felt that the bed was not as comfortable as Yongshou Palace.

Until she fell asleep, she was still thinking: I wonder if Concubine Tong Shu's bed in the main room will be softer...

……

Concubine Tong Shu, who occupied the main room, was not happy.

The court ladies and eunuchs were busy in the room, she sat on the chair and sulked.

It was very depressing to be taken to the palace by the empress dowager, especially Concubine Tong Shu felt that she was being targeted.

She didn't want to see the Empress Dowager at all, so after being rejected a few times, she took advantage of the situation and hid in the car, but that scheming bitch Guo Luoluo went to jump in front of the Empress Dowager.

Doesn't this make her look very unreasonable?

But if she was asked to put down her body immediately to please the Empress Dowager, she would not be able to get over this hurdle in her heart for a while, and could only become more and more depressed, and she almost vomited to death.
