Ning Yuzhen replied softly, "Hello".
Wei Cheng walked out of the room, called for Fu Lu to come, and whispered, "Go and send the box of Dongzhu that will be paid as tribute this year to the Yihe Xuan."
Fulu bowed and responded.
This time, instead of letting the soft sedan come to take the people back, Ning Yuzhen took Yicui and Qilan and walked slowly back to Yihexuan.
As soon as I stepped into the Yihe Xuan, I saw a fat and round nanny standing in the garden, carrying a large food box in her hand, nodding and bowing to Lian Xiang.
Lianxiang doesn't show it on her face, but if there was a tail behind her, it might have already reached the sky at this moment.
Seeing that her master was back, she was too lazy to pay attention to the nanny and came over to explain, "Little master, that old godly woman is the grandma Wang Gui and Wang who looked down on the little master at the beginning. Now she sees that the little master is getting up. No, she is eager to look at her early." Meal has been delivered.”
When Lianxiang said this, her voice was soft, so that Grandma Wang could not hear her, for fear of leaving a clue to others.
Grandma Wang is not stupid. She felt sorry for Lian Xiang before, but she couldn't say anything good about herself in front of Ning Chang Zai.
She was still carrying the food box with formality. The weight of the food box in her hand made Grandma Wang's thick hands tremble uncontrollably. This morning she picked the best and delivered it according to her usual routine, and even went so far as to deliver it herself. I also spent some money to add two more dishes and made six plates.
Fortunately, the past impression was cleared in front of Ning Yuzhen.
After listening to Lianxiang's words, Ning Yuzhen looked at Grandma Wang with a look that was neither good nor bad.
There were so many people in the palace who were following the trend. Ning Yuzhen didn't take it to heart at all when the old woman said something to her. Isn't that the case with everyone?
If she had always looked down on herself, she would have impressed Ning Yuzhen, but unfortunately, she had fallen out of fashion after all.
Now that she had come to her door by herself, Ning Yuzhen was not polite and had the right to scare the monkeys.
"Get up." Ning Yuzhen smiled harmlessly.
When Grandma Wang saw this, she stood up and sneered in her heart that Ning Chang was still young and lacked some means. She thought that she would at least have to kneel down for a while, but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes again.
Ning Yuzhen saw all the changes in her. When she saw Grandma Wang stretching out her hand to hand the food box to Lianxiang, she said, "Isn't the dining room busy on weekdays?"
"Ah?" Grandma Wang was stunned by Ning Yuzhen's inconsistent question. She held the food box in mid-air with both hands, unable to move forward or backward.
"My master is asking you this question. Just answer, ah what?" Lianxiang straightened up a lot now that she had someone to support her. She could see what her master meant, and she felt gloating about her misfortune.
She knew the weight of this food box very well. Even people who had to do menial work for a long time would inevitably get sore arms after lifting it for a long time, not to mention a lazy person like Grandma Wang who was used to being bragging about it by the girls below.
Yicui went into the house and took the cloak and Mrs. Tang, and gave them to Ning Yuzhen.
The disdain in Grandma Wang's heart disappeared immediately. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ning Changzai wanted to settle the accounts with Qiu Hou. She apologized and said with a smile: "Thanks to Little Master Ning, this slave is quite free in the dining room on weekdays."
Ning Yuzhen nodded thoughtfully, "What did Grandma Wang do in the dining room in the past?"
"This slave is just a small steward, taking care of the people under me."
After understanding this, Ning Yuzhen smiled lightly and said, "I guess Grandma Wang hasn't done any work for a long time, and her days in the kitchen are free. I heard when I was a child that if a person's hands and feet are not used often, they will die. Strengthened."
After hearing this, Grandma Wang was stunned, and some speculations came to her mind.
Then I heard the beauty in front of me say: "Lianxiang, go and take out the breakfast first, and let Grandma Wang stand there with the food box, lest she loses the strength in her hands and feet and loses her position as the kitchen steward." The location is not good.”
Lianxiang happily responded, taking away the lunch box in the eyes of Grandma Wang's pleading, and after putting away the breakfast, she took Xiao Anzi to move two stones and put them into the lunch box, lifted them together, and hung them on Grandma Wang's side. The hand stretched straight forward.
Before leaving, he weighed it and said to Grandma Wang: "Mommy, please don't smash the food box. The food box is expensive, and it won't be good to lose Grandma's wealth and life."
Grandma Wang almost broke her teeth. She stood in the cold wind, her hands trembling, and she felt extremely regretful.
What she did to offend Ning Chang was that she didn't confiscate other people's money at first, but wanted to talk nonsense. Now she is fine, and she doesn't know when she will be exempted from punishment.
Now it became clear that Ning Changzai was not gentle at all, he actually knew how to punish people without leaving any trace.
Grandma Wang was miserable outside. The charcoal fire in the room was warm, and the breakfast was just right. Ning Yuzhen couldn't finish it by herself, so she asked Lianxiang to give some to Xiao Anzi, and asked the waiter to share some with him.
After I finished eating slowly, I remembered that Grandma Wang was still standing there holding the food box.
"Lianxiang, it's almost time." Ning Yuzhen wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and said.
Lianxiang followed the order and went out. With her head held high and her chest high, she led Xiao Anzi to Grandma Wang who was crying from the cold. She took down the heavy food box, took away the stones, and wiped the inside clean. Then take it to Grandma Wang.
"Thank you, Grandma Wang is here to deliver breakfast to the young master."
Lianxiang smiled proudly, but Grandma Wang could only swallow this breath. She did not dare to make a mistake in front of Lianxiang again. She forced the corners of her lips and saluted in the direction of the room, holding the food box tremblingly. Walked away tremblingly.
It was so satisfying that Lian Xiang was so happy that her steps were filled with joy.
"My young master, you don't know, the old godly woman's eyes want to eat the slave alive, but she doesn't dare. It really makes the slave so happy." Lianxiang recounted to Ning Yuzhen what happened outside, "Really She deserves it, let her speak ill of the young master, doesn’t she know what thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river mean?”
Just as he was talking, Fulu came.
He was not annoyed that he was sent on an errand early in the morning. He walked into the room with a smile on his face and said, "Sister Lianxiang is very knowledgeable."
"Why are Eunuch Fulu here?" Ning Yuzhen asked, "But is there something wrong with the Emperor?"
Fu Lu opened the round box with colorful treasures and patterns in his hand and placed it in front of Ning Yuzhen, "This is the eternal gift of the Eastern Pearl from the Emperor."
A box full of round and plump pearls made everyone unable to take their eyes away for a while.
Ning Yuzhen couldn't help but think of the few pearls embedded in Yiguiren's shoes on the first day she entered the palace. No matter the luster or size, they were not as good as the ones in the box now.
Let Yicui take the box, turn to Fulu and say: "Excuse me, please thank the emperor. I like it very much."
Fulu responded with a smile, "It's fine if you like it, little master. It won't be a waste of time for me to search in the warehouse."
Ning Yuzhen immediately understood what he meant and glanced at Yicui, who immediately took the silver and offered it to him.
Satisfied with the money he got, Fulu took his increasingly plump wallet and went to resume his life with the emperor.
