Before the old lady could tell her lovingly how much she loved her and her mother, Mu Qingyun hesitantly stretched out his finger, tapped it in the air, pulled hard, and pulled out a delicate A glazed box with twelve glazed pots neatly placed inside.
Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the door and window, covering the table and the floor. The entire room was dimmed by this small box.
"This is wine, but it's a bit strong. I don't know if the old lady and the Marquis can get used to it. If you are used to it, I can invite the old lady and the Marquis to have a few drinks occasionally."
Mu Qingyun smiled.
The old lady's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
This is probably the jade liquid?
Mu Qingyun casually searched the mall for drinks in gift boxes for the elders, and without paying much attention, he let the old lady's little idea of 'losing money and eliminating disasters' disappear without a trace.
The original person has been in the Duke's Mansion for these years, and she has developed such magical powers. Of course, she wants to live freely in this world and let others know that she has a background and back-up, so they dare not touch her easily, but she is not Be arrogant and domineering and make enemies everywhere.
If you can value harmony, you still have to value harmony.
The original life is much better than that of most girls from poor families in the world. Because her background is not bad and she has relatives from the Duke's family, so she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, nor does she have to worry about being married. There were people who bullied me, and there were people who protected me from the wind and rain. Even though I was a little frustrated, I still survived in a healthy and normal way.
The Duke's Mansion provided her with six sets of clothes each in spring and summer, and two sets each in autumn and winter. She was also given a monthly allowance of twenty taels of silver every month, which was the same as the monthly allowances received by several young ladies in the Duke's Mansion.
Usually when the old lady admires the little lady in the family, she never misses her.
It's just that other young ladies naturally have various private subsidies and do not rely on the official monthly salary, but that is natural. They are biological father, mother and grandmother. Why should she be the same as others?
Anyway, in the end, Mu Qingyun and the old lady reached their goals together decently and kindly.
With thoughts flying all the way, the carriage pulled the carriage smoothly out of the east gate of the capital. After walking along a broad official road, they saw the smoke curling up from the cooking pots.
The hot spring resort of Guogong Mansion is located on the west side of Roaring Spring Mountain. On the east side of Roaring Spring Mountain are the royal gardens and His Majesty's palace.
Surrounding the palace and outwards, there are many large and small manors dotted around, all built around mountain springs. The noble families in the capital, especially the ladies, often go to these hot springs to soak in the hot springs and want to drink fresh water. fruits, playing and playing.
The Zhuangzi in Guogong Mansion is naturally more secluded than those near the palace. Fortunately, there is also a hot spring, and the environment is even more quiet, which has its own benefits.
The carriage entered Zhuangzi all the way. Mu Qingyun could see rows of houses built on the mountain from a distance. Various stone and wood carvings could be seen everywhere. The entire Zhuangzi was not what she had imagined. It occupied a large area and had various There must be more than a dozen courtyards, hundreds of houses, and hundreds of servants waiting inside and outside.
As soon as the car stopped, Mu Qingyun saw a pair of middle-aged men and women walking in front of them. They were both dressed in the common clothes of the stewards of the Hou Mansion. The woman bowed politely, lifted the car curtain for Mu Qingyun politely, and said with a smile: " Cousin, watch your steps carefully."
After saying that, she helped Mu Qingyun get out of the car and said, "Quickly, put your luggage in Lanyue Pavilion. My cousin came in a hurry. Many houses have not been cleaned up yet, so they settled in Lanyue Pavilion first, where you can see the mountain view." , water view.”
She dismissed the coachman with a few words, greeted and shouted, and sent the servants around.
Without Mu Qingyun saying a word, he was crowded into Lan Yue Pavilion and sat comfortably on the soft couch. The woman was very considerate and said: "My surname is Liu, and I have nursed the Duke of the country for a few days. If so, I'm getting older this year, so I might as well come to Zhuangzi to take care of myself. My boss's surname is Li. He's a useless stick, but he can also help with running errands. If my cousin needs anything, just say hello to me."
The woman spoke crisply and refreshingly. After a while, she assigned two little girls to serve her, and warned her not to be negligent. Mu Qingyun smiled, as if he didn't mind the attitude of the 'master', and was very impressed. After a few casual responses, everyone got off.
As soon as Madam Liu went out, the kind and cheerful smile on her face faded away. She stared at the maid and servant at the door with squinted eyes, and said coldly: "My cousin is young, so you all should be more careful. If anyone dares to neglect, I will skin him." .”
Several maids were busy and only agreed, feeling a little uneasy.
They were on the outskirts of the capital and did not see the holographic short film played by Mu Qingyun, but all the servants, including Mrs. Liu and her husband Li Guanjia, although they were in Zhuangzi, were still members of the Duke's mansion and had more or less information channels. The news I heard was very confusing. I couldn't understand why my cousin had a fairy fiancé that I couldn't afford to offend and couldn't marry the Duke. But the news still made people feel weird.
Mrs. Liu had a sullen face. She walked out and got together with Manager Li who was waiting outside. She lowered her voice and said, "There was no reaction. She looked very kind. She didn't look like someone who would order a servant."
"Oh, I'm young and thin-skinned. I haven't shown much of my face in the years in the house. You just need to fool around and catch people."
There was a hint of anger in Manager Li's voice, "It's true that this cousin doesn't enjoy the blessings of the Duke's palace, but insists on hanging out here. A relative from the Eighth Route Army still wants to be the master of the family?"
Mu Qingyun leaned against the window. Looking up from her perspective, she could indeed see the mountain peaks in the distance, rockery ponds, luxuriant forests and bamboos up close.
There were several wolves and dogs huddled in the corner in the yard, all looking lazy.
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to the little squirrel lying by the window. She looked back and raised her eyebrows: "The evil servant script is still popular now?"
Mrs. Liu and Manager Li obviously regard Zhuangzi as their own. Also, the masters of the Duke's Mansion have not come here for many years. Even if they come, they only come here to play occasionally. However, these two have taken root and stayed there for many years. After ten years, can I not consider myself the master?
Mu Qingyun smiled unconsciously.
If it were an ordinary boudoir girl who suddenly came to such a village, she would definitely feel very insecure.
The servants around him, such as Xia He, Hua'er, Duo'er, two little girls, and several wives and servants were all transferred by the old lady. None of them are familiar with each other. Here, Butler Li 'dominates the king' For many years, the servants in Zhuangzi have been assigned by him. The housekeeper's wife is also the wet nurse of the Duke of the country, so she will probably be tightly controlled.
For three days in a row, Mu Qingyun ate, drank, slept, and felt uncomfortable.
But it had only been three days, and Manager Li was fine, but Mrs. Liu was already feeling unhappy and terribly uncomfortable.
