ordinary time dream

After I was forced to recognize Grand Master Xiao as my grandfather, I started to make plans for my trip to Caiyun Kingdom.

Sure enough, in order to watch closely or directly participate in the plot, entering the palace is essential!

"Hey, grandpa, are you going to Hong's house tomorrow to do something?" Ask knowingly!

"Well, that's right." Master Xiao, who had turned back into an old man, was a little surprised and admitted frankly.

"I'll go with you tomorrow, I really want to meet that daughter of the Hong family!"

"This one……"

"Promise, promise! By the way..." I turned to the little mirror and said, "Little mirror, you should change back to the mirror for now, it will be more convenient to move!"

"Yes, Mr. Mengxue!" After the little mirror answered, it suddenly changed into a classical mirror that fits the surrounding scenery.

"Ah, the little mirror is so clever!"

"Thank you, Master Mengxue, for your compliment!"

"What I said is true, thank you!"

"Yes, Lord Mengxue!"

At this moment, Taishi Xiao had another crossroads in the back of his head: Didn’t I agree yet... (Of course, rebuttals are invalid.)

then……

"This is my god-granddaughter—Xiao Mengxue." Grand Master Xiao introduced Hong Shaoke in this way.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Shao Ke." I said so respectfully and bowed outside, trying to be perfect in etiquette.

"Ah, what a well-educated daughter!" Hong Shao praised with a smile, "There is no need to be too polite here."

"Thank you, Mr. Shao Ke." So I also took a seat together.

During the period, although I saw that Hong Shao could entertain us with water in a wooden barrel, in order not to do something out of the norm, I still sat and drank white water with Grand Master Xiao.

Hong Shaoke and Grand Master Xiao were chatting, finally, our protagonist is coming!

The door was knocked three times, and then Ci Jinglan opened the door, and after seeing the people inside, he was slightly startled, and then immediately saluted Hong Shao, saying: "Master, Miss Xiuli has returned. "

Hong Shaoke was still smiling: "Jinglan, this is Taishi Xiao, and next to him is Taishi Xiao's granddaughter, Miss Mengxue."

"Teacher Xiao. Miss Mengxue." Jinglan saluted one by one according to the rules.

"Okay, quickly call Xiuli!" Shao Ke said.

"Yes, master." Then Jinglan went out.

After a while.

"Miss Xiuli is here."

Door open.

A girl in red appeared in front of the door holding a tea set.Her eyelids are slightly drawn, her posture is perfect, and she walks towards us.

"Oh, Xiuli, this is Master Xiao." Shao Ke introduced to Xiuli.

Hearing Shao Ke's introduction, Xiuli raised her eyes to look at Taishi Xiao.

After putting the tea set on the table, Xiuli knelt down on one knee: "Master Xiao, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience."

"Hey!" My current grandfather was a little surprised to see Xiuli's exact manners, "Please get up, Xiuli."

"Ah, yes!" Xiuli was surprised that Grandpa Xiao called her so intimately.

"This is Grand Master Xiao's granddaughter, Miss Mengxue." Shao Ke introduced again.

"Miss Mengxue." Xiuli bowed to me and saluted, and I returned the salute.

"Okay, Xiuli and Jinglan should also take their seats, after all, what I want to talk about is related to you two." Grandpa Xiao said with a slight smile.

Hearing what Taishi Xiao said, question marks appeared on the heads of the two of them.

"Before that, I'm sorry, but can you pour me a cup of tea, after all, just drinking water is not good for the stomach." Grandpa Xiao said helplessly, and pointed to the wooden bucket in front of us.

As soon as Xiuli saw the wooden barrel, her face darkened: "Father!" It seemed that she was confirming something.

Master Shao Ke still nodded with a smile.

Reluctantly, my father neglected the guest's beauty so much, so he could only say to us: "I'm really sorry, I will change the tea for you immediately!"

After everyone was seated, not only the tea was served, but also a very cute white bun was added!

Of course, cuteness is my evaluation.

Ah, this is the steamed stuffed bun made by Xiuli!I wonder if the taste is as delicious as it says in the plot?

Ahhhhhhhhh, red bean stuffing, I really like it! !

"It's delicious!" I praised without hesitation.

"Yes!" Grandpa also nodded in agreement, "Master Shao Ke has such a good daughter, he is really a happy person!"

"Hi!" Shao Ke nodded.

……

"Well, what do you want to talk about?" Jing Lan asked after a moment of warmth.

"Oh, that's right. Xiuli, Jinglan, I have something to ask you. If you accept it, I will give you so much as a thank you gift!" Said, Grandpa Xiao stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers .

"Well, how much is that? 50 taels of copper?... 500 taels!" Seeing that Grandpa Xiao didn't respond, Xiuli continued to guess, "Could it be 5 taels of silver? Silver... 50 taels...?"

silence silence silence...

Knowing the situation behind, I try to relax and avoid being startled, after all, being shocked is not good for the heart.

So, after being silent, Grandpa Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, stretched out his left palm, and said loudly, "It's 500 taels of gold!!!"

I can't help my forehead, it's really embarrassing...Although others are attracted by the declaration of 500 taels of gold...

"Gold... 500 taels...?" Xiuli, who was hit by the declaration, stood dumbfounded and repeated Grandpa Xiao's quotation.

After getting the affirmation from Grandpa Xiao... Xiuli immediately said to Grandpa Xiao with star eyes: "I accept, I accept everything!"

then……

"I've been waiting for a long time, noble lady Hong." Grand Master Xiao said in the main hall, "From now on, this female officer will take care of you."

"I am Zhucui." A female officer in green clothes saluted Xiuli.

I asked Grandpa Xiao to send me into the palace as a trainee maid, and now I am walking towards the beautiful room.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xiangling's voice.

"I...I actually did such a thing!" Then there was a sobbing voice.

"Xiangling, calm down." Xiuli frowned and comforted her.

Seeing the situation inside, although I knew what happened, I still asked, "What happened?"

"Ah, Miss Mengxue!" Xiuli was very surprised to see me.

"You can just call me Mengxue. I'm an apprentice maid now, Mr. Hong." I said with a slight smile, "What's wrong with Xiangling?"

"Well, can you help me calm Xiangling down?"

"Ah, leave this matter to Zhu Cui, after all, Zhu Cui is the female official of the Honggui." I nodded to the female official Zhu Cui who had just walked beside me.

"Zhucui?" Xiuli was a little surprised, and then changed into the demeanor that a nobleman should have, "Can I ask you, Zhucui."

"Yes, noble lady Hong." Zhu Cui saluted slightly, "Xiang Ling, come with me."

"Xiang Ling, can you make me another cup of scented tea later?" Xiuli asked gently.

"Yes!" Seeing that Xiuli didn't blame her, but instead had an encouraging expression, Xiangling was very grateful.

After they left, I went into Xiuli's room.

"Xiuli." I changed the address very simply, and then smiled casually, "If you have any special needs here, you can tell me!"

"Huh?" Xiuli was obviously stunned by my address, and then she could only answer mechanically, "Yes, thank you."

"moximoxi!" I shook my hand in front of Xiuli, "Xiuli, you're back!"

"Ah... ah! Sorry, I was distracted!" Xiuli said hurriedly, and then said to me in surprise, "Mengxue's character is so casual!"

"Hehe, can you still bear it?"

"Of course, I think it will go well with Mengxue!"

"Really, I'm glad you said that!" I closed the door, "How about that matter, did you think about it?"

"Ah, haha..." Xiuli smiled awkwardly, "This... I don't have a clue yet..."

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's half a year anyway! If you need anything, just tell me, anything is fine!" I specially re-read 'anything is fine'.

Xiuli quickly realized what I meant by rereading: "Anything is fine?"

"Yes, anything is fine, because Xiuli is my friend!"

"friend?"

"Yeah!" I nodded vigorously, I really like Xiuli!

"...Thank you!" Xiuli was so moved that tears began to roll.

Patting Xiuli's forehead: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come to you tomorrow!"

"I'm older, right?" Xiuli complained, touching her forehead.

"Hehe!" I tilted my head and smiled, "Bye!" Then I went out.

library in a few days

"Ah~ so leisurely~Jiang You!" said a general with dark blue hair, "I was originally the Lord's guard, so it doesn't matter... But you were recommended by Grand Master Xiao, and you were forced to be transferred to the king's side... ...I heard that you haven't seen the king yet?...No matter how capable you are, it's useless if you don't have the opportunity~! We, who should be fulfilling our responsibilities as civil servants and military officials, are actually resting here leisurely...Hey, isn't it! "

"Hurry up and shut your mouth, Lan Qiuying!" Li Jiangyou, who couldn't bear it any longer, finally broke out!

"Oh~ use such a tone to your best friend..." After saying that, Lan Qiuying's expression didn't change a bit.

"Who is your close friend?!" Li Jiangyou walked heavily in front of Lan Qiuying, pointed at him and said, "A guard should act like a guard, and work with the king with perseverance!"

"But, the key king, you wander around every day, and you don't know where you are!"

"Really, can this country go on like this?"

"Grand Master Xiao also feels that this is not going to work, and has already taken measures."

"What measure?"

"Get a princess for the king."

"Princess?!" Li Jiangyou immediately turned black, "Can this change the king?"

"You still haven't changed your habit of hating women!" Lan Qiuying sighed.

"Having a relationship with a woman will never do anything good!"

"You don't even know the joy of spending nights with women, what a waste!" Lan Qiuying shook her head regretfully, "You, you have already lost half of your life!"

"Compared to this, the princess..."

"Oh, here we go!"

Because Xiuli wanted to borrow a book, I brought her here after I had already visited the palace.

"Ah...that's amazing!" Xiuli sighed as she looked at Manku's books.

"Yes!" I followed behind.

"Do you like reading?" a male voice asked.

Xiuli who was asked smiled and replied: "Yes! That..."

"I am the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, Lan Qiuying. He is..." Lan Qiuying said.

"Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Jiangyou." Li Jiangyou received it.

"I'm Hong Xiuli." Xiuli replied, then pointed at me, "This..."

"I'm an apprentice maid, Xiao Mengxue." I nodded and gave them a shallow salute.

"I want to borrow the books here, can I?" Xiuli asked politely, "From now on, I have to study hard..."

"For what?" Lan Qiuying asked.

Xiuli replied a little shyly, "For this country."

Obviously, the two of them were surprised by Xiuli's answer.

"Ah, these are the steamed stuffed buns I made, please try them if you don't mind!" Xiuli said as she opened the food box that I was not allowed to carry.

After we borrowed the book and left.

"That's..." Li Jiangyou looked at the bun in his hand and asked.

"She is the concubine of the idiot king, and also the daughter of your respected Lord Shao Ke!" Lan Qiuying explained.

"Maybe it will change, Wang."

"Maybe..." Lan Qiuying didn't give an exact evaluation, "But, did you see the girl next to her just now?"

"Well, Xiao Mengxue?"

"Attention, her surname is Xiao, and it is said that she is the granddaughter adopted by Grand Master Xiao recently."

"Master Xiao's granddaughter?!"

"So!" Lan Qiuying nodded, "Now it's going to be interesting!"
