"Miss Shi Yun, Your Highness invites you." Shi Yun was walking towards the main courtyard carrying a food box when she was stopped by a young eunuch. Shi Yun recognized this young father-in-law as Eunuch Su, the third prince's confidant. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The prince's concubine is still waiting."
"Then the girl will come to see His Highness after delivering the lunch box?" Eunuch Su was good-tempered and didn't mind Shi Yun carrying Zhao Ruolan out at all. Without waiting for Shi Yun to speak, he added: "I heard that the girl was separated from her family when she was very young, and then she was picked up by the princess, and then she grew up with the princess? Our Highness also wants to know more about the princess. After all, they are husband and wife. If the couple can get along, we, as servants, will also enjoy the blessings, right?"
Shi Yun couldn't help but look at Manager Su. If she was a loyal maid who only cared about Zhao Ruolan, she would definitely be moved by Manager Su's words.
"Father, please wait a moment." Shi Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
She first delivered the food to Zhao Ruolan, and then made an excuse to come here again. Manager Su had been waiting. When he saw her coming, he smiled and led her to the study: "Miss Shi Yun, have you ever thought about it?" Have you ever looked for your own family members?"
Shi Yun smiled and said: "No, although I have no memory of my childhood, I heard our girl say that when she picked me up, I was dark and thin, and very pitiful. In this case, either because I am a girl, in the The family didn't value it, so it was lost. Or the family was having a hard time and couldn't support it, so it was lost."
Lost and lost have different meanings.
"No matter which one it is, I don't think there's any need to get it back." Shi Yun said. In fact, she thought the first option was more likely. In modern society, when people are starving to death, girls are still thrown away. Well, in ancient times, it must have been more difficult to survive, and there were many people who couldn't feed their children.
"If you want to find a family for me, I don't think it's necessary, because finding someone may not be a happy thing." Shi Yun said. Manager Su was silent for a moment and smiled: "Miss Shi Yun is from smart people."
"It doesn't matter whether he is smart or not, I just know that if this person has too many worries, he will be restrained." Shi Yun said with a smile, blocking the road in advance. She was here for a mission, not to find a relative. If it is really a coincidence or something, and you see it, it can be regarded as repaying the original cause and effect of this body. But if someone found her with purpose, Yun Neng would be sick to death. She was not a kind-hearted person, and she would have to be filial to even a stranger.
Manager Su raised his eyebrows and stopped talking. She led Shi Yun to the study room, where the third prince was writing. Shi Yun saluted and squatted there, waiting for someone to shout, but she couldn't wait for a long time. She also knew that this must be a sign of disdain, so she didn't dare to move, so she just took out A lifetime of willpower stabilized his body.
To be honest, this posture tests your physical strength.
In less than a stick of incense, Shi Yun was already sweating profusely and on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the third prince shouted.
Shi Yun quickly stood up and took advantage of the length of her skirt to slightly turn her ankles to avoid cramping later.
"Did you grow up with Zhao Ruolan?" As soon as the third prince spoke, Shi Yun felt that the idea of knowing the third prince's concubine's preferences was made up by Manager Su. If the third prince really wanted to repair the relationship between husband and wife, why would he just say "Zhao Ruolan"?
Between husband and wife, even if they don't call each other by their nicknames in front of the maid, they must at least be respectful. Calling them princess or concubine or something like that, calling them by their first names is a bit too casual and disrespectful.
"Yes, this slave has been following the third prince's concubine since she was four or five years old." Shi Yun returned respectfully with her head lowered. The third prince washed the brush in the brush sink next to it, then hung it back on the shelf, and then asked, "I assume you know everything about Zhao Ruolan?"
"This slave has always been in chaos before, and can only be a second-class maid." Shi Yun said hurriedly: "Because I am not clever enough, so unless the girl orders me, I rarely do things for the girl."
If you don't do things, you don't know things.
The third prince frowned: "Don't be so cautious. I just want to ask about your princess's usual hobbies and temperament. Does she like to read books? Or do she like to do something?"
Shi Yun pursed her lips, a little confused about the third prince's plan, and only talked about the obvious things: "I like reading books. In the past, I often read some travel notes and miscellanies. In addition, I also like to do some things." She does needlework and also likes to practice calligraphy.”
"Travel notes? What kind of books have you read?" The third prince asked again. Shi Yun could only recall two or three books after recalling them carefully. The memory of the body itself was very vague, just like those old black and white photos. At a glance, Looking at it, you can basically not see any important points. Only by carefully searching through them one by one can you see a little bit clearly.
The third prince asked Zhao Ruolan if he liked attending the banquet, which girl he interacted with the most, and which girl he disliked.
Especially her hobbies in the past two years, I asked her if she had any expertise in housekeeping and management, if she liked doing business, what the harvest was like every year in her shop, what kind of things she planted, or what kind of business she did.
Shi Yun was not a stupid person. She could guess that the third prince was telling a story. Perhaps he wanted to summarize Zhao Ruolan's activities in the past two years? Which family she has frequent contacts with indicates which family will have a great future, or in other words, which party will support the third prince in the future. What kind of business she does is probably to predict the movements of the capital in the next year or two. For example, if the capital is stable, she will probably do some business such as rouge, gouache, fabrics, jewelry, and snacks. If there is a big movement in the capital, it will involve large-scale transactions, such as equipment, stones, bricks, or simply food.
If ordinary crops are planted in the village, the weather will be good. If drought-tolerant plants are planted in Zhuangzi, they will suffer from drought.
But the third prince asked an unusual question, and it would be strange if she didn't answer. Even if Shi Yun racked her brains, it would be in vain in the end.
When she came out of the third prince's study, she felt that all her clothes were soaked. Manager Su sent Shi Yun out and asked with a smile, "What do you want, Miss Shi Yun? What are your plans for the future?"
Shi Yun's mind was still tense. When the topic turned to herself, she didn't react for a moment.
Manager Su patiently said: "For example, do you plan to be a maid next to the third prince all your life? Have you ever thought about what kind of person you will be in the future? Become a nanny by combing your hair? Marry someone and be a maid?" A commoner? Or, a noble person?"
This last sentence was said a little lightly, but it was like a thunder exploded on Shi Yun's head. What does it mean to be a noble person? How to become a noble person? A noble person like Zhao Ruolan is called a noble person in the palace. Aunt Li is also considered a noble person.
To be a noble person is to serve the master, to be someone who can be cared for in this backyard.
Her expression changed, and she quickly smiled and said, "I'm just an orphan with an unknown origin. I'm afraid I won't have this blessing."
Manager Su smiled and said: "What are the unknown origins? If you think about it, there are many people vying to be your parents in this world. Not to mention good people, they are even small officials and small landlords."
Shi Yun felt that the third prince had no plans to repair the relationship with Zhao Ruolan. Look, even Zhao Ruolan's personal maid has to be pried away. Isn't Zhao Ruolan embarrassed?
She just didn't understand why the third prince was trying so hard to promote her. Just to embarrass Zhao Ruolan? Or should she, Shi Yun, rebel and spy on Zhao Ruolan? Or should she ask her about Zhao Ruolan's previous life?
Shi Yun felt that if it was the latter two, it was actually completely unnecessary, so she thought about Zhao Ruolan. She could guarantee that if the third prince asked himself, Zhao Ruolan would definitely have nothing to hide.
If there is anyone in this world who is very much looking forward to the success of the third prince, that person can only be Zhao Ruolan.
Shi Yun didn't dare to raise her hand when it came to pie-in-the-sky matters. She quickly smiled and said: "No, no, I told you that I don't plan to find my family. I think I'm pretty good now. Besides, our girl has always been kind to me. I know what's good and what's good. I Ah, all I have to do in this life is serve the third prince and his concubine."
After a pause, he said very simply: "As for the future, I think it will be good for me to be a nanny as my father-in-law said. As long as our third prince and concubine are good, if I can be a personal nanny, I will be respectable."
After saying that, he stopped and saluted Mr. Su: "Eunuch, you are someone close to His Highness. His Highness must not be able to leave you. Please stay here. I will leave by myself. Thank you, Eunuch."
Before Manager Su could speak, Shi Yun disappeared as if running away.
Manager Su was a little stunned. When he turned around and talked to the third prince, the third prince nodded: "It's normal. Even such things are only told to this maid. It shows that no matter... this maid must be very loyal. Never betrayed her."
"Later, ask someone to send a message to the third prince's concubine. Just say, look at Shi Yun coming to the study." The third prince said, paused, and emphasized: "Speak openly, if you have anything to say, don't Adulterated words.”
Even if Shi Yun goes back every time, she will repeat everything she said to Zhao Ruolan verbatim. But as time goes by, can Zhao Ruolan really not doubt Shi Yun at all? As long as there is a gap between the master and the servant, the stone Yun can be pried.
The third prince then ordered: "Have someone give Shi Yun a set of jewelry and say it was a gift from me. By the way, ask her if she likes it. If she doesn't like it, I can give her something else next time. In front of people Mian'er asked, do you understand?"
