In the courtyard in front, many people stood in darkness.
A man dressed as a chambermaid was talking to the old lady when someone said that his cousin had arrived. He looked over curiously, saw Xin You's eyebrows clearly, and was secretly puzzled.
It is true as the rumors say, the cousin from the Shaoqing Mansion looks somewhat like Princess Zhaoyang.
The appearance is somewhat similar, and he also saved the daughter of Princess Zhaoyang. Gee, this cousin may have good fortune in the future.
The chamberlains who were able to get ahead in the palace were all human beings, and they immediately treated Xin You with a polite attitude: "Miss Kou, I heard that you are brave enough to save people, and I appreciate it very much. I have specially ordered my slave to give you a reward."
Xin You was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "Thank you."
The waiter raised his eyebrows, surprised by the calmness of the girl in front of him.
This was a gift from the emperor. When he stepped into the door of Shaoqing's Mansion, he saw the excitement in the house, even the old lady of Shaoqing's Mansion was no exception. This cousin girl was actually calm and calm.
The chamberlain stopped thinking and said loudly: "Receive the edict."
The old lady took the lead and immediately knelt down.
Xin You pursed her lips and knelt down silently when the chamberlain cast a doubtful look.
The so-called holy edict is a message transmitted orally. The chamberlain cleared her throat and smiled at Xin You: "Congratulations, Miss Kou."
Many people dreamed of having gifts from the emperor, but they couldn't get it. This little girl got a lot at once. Those silks, gold and silver are just that, but a pair of gold and jade armbands are enough to be passed down to the family.
Xinyou thanked her again without any additional words.
The chamberlain could only conclude that this Kou girl was taciturn, and after saying a few polite words to the old lady, she led them away.
As the palace people left, the serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Duan Yunyan pulled Zhu's sleeve: "Mother, I didn't dare to breathe loudly just now."
Zhu smiled and rubbed her daughter's head: "Yan'er did the right thing."
Duan Yunling took Xin You's hand and said, "Cousin Qing, you are so awesome, even I will reward you today!"
The old lady smiled and said: "Qingqing, don't neglect the gifts given by the emperor. Just put them at home and offer them to you."
"It's better to send it to the bookstore first. The satin and palace fans are for use and will rot if kept for a long time."
The old lady hesitated for a moment and did not persist.
Duan Yunhua looked coldly at the girl holding the moon among the stars, and patted the dust on her clothes when she knelt down.
Is this the benefit of power? She can make her grandmother, who always scolds her, tolerate and compromise in every possible way.
Until evening, the Shaoqing Mansion was filled with joy because of the rewards from the palace.
Xiaolian helped Xinyou bathe and change clothes, her eyes almost glued to the face of the girl in the snow-white tunic.
"What's wrong?" Xin You asked.
"Girl, you are really capable." The little maid sighed sincerely.
Xin You smiled and said nothing.
Xiaolian couldn't hide her excitement: "You didn't see the expression on Hanxue's face when the palace came to deliver the reward."
Hanxue was originally a maid from Wan Qingju. After Xinyou moved out of Shaoqing's house, she left Hanxue to guard the courtyard. It didn't take long for Hanxue to find a way to transfer her to the old lady's courtyard.
Because of this incident, Xiaolian kept Hanxue in her heart.
"And you asked Mama Wang and Nanny Li to pick out a few velvet flowers each, which made them very happy."
Xiaolian's words were true. In the wing room at this time, Mother Wang was chatting with Grandma Li.
"After all, it's the velvet flower sent by the eldest princess's mansion. It looks more beautiful than the real thing." Grandma Li held up a velvet flower to the light with a smile on her face.
Mother Wang was also excited: "When I send the velvet flowers to my two girls tomorrow, they will go crazy with joy."
Aunt Li laughed and said, "Don't you keep one for yourself?"
"I'm already old, so wearing such a fine velvet flower wouldn't be a waste."
Grandma Li suddenly sighed: "Following my cousin is much better than elsewhere."
At first, when my cousin moved out, others thought that they had no way out. After a long time, they realized that they were still receiving monthly money, but they didn't have much to do, and they had already settled into a life of eating sunflower seeds and chatting. Now that my cousin has become successful, she can still benefit from it.
The next day, after they finished their work, they asked Xinyou for leave and went to find their families.
Mother Wang's two daughters and Grandma Li's granddaughter were both on duty in Shaoqing's Mansion. The three of them put velvet flowers on their heads, and soon the news spread among the servants of Shaoqing's Mansion.
"Did you see the velvet flowers Xing'er is wearing in her hair? They were sent from the eldest princess's palace. I heard they were made in the palace."
"Oh, Hanxue, if you are still in Wanqingju, you might be able to pick two more flowers. I heard that Xiaolian also got a flower hairpin, and Jiangshuang also got-"
Hanxue didn't finish listening and turned away.
The woman who spoke curled her lips.
At first, she originally wanted her niece to work as an errand in the old lady's courtyard, but she didn't expect that Hanxue's little hooves would take the lead. Now she can count on her anger.
Xin You didn't know about the turmoil caused by a box of velvet flowers among the servants of Shaoqing's house. Early in the morning, she took Xiao Lian to Ruyi Hall to pay her respects to the old lady, and met two brothers, Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang, who had returned from vacation.
"Cousin, I heard that you saved the eldest princess's daughter. Please tell me carefully."
Xin You had a good impression of the cheerful and enthusiastic Duan Yunlang and briefly explained the whole story.
"It's a pity that I had to go to school yesterday!" Duan Yunlang looked like he hated not being there yesterday.
The old lady glanced at Duan Yunlang: "If you don't go to school, do you want to get into trouble like Prince Guchangbo?"
Duan Yunlang couldn't help but be happy: "Grandma, have you heard why Prince Guchang provoked the wild boar?"
After returning from Bailu Mountain yesterday, I greeted people from the eldest princess's palace and greeted people from the palace. On the contrary, Shaoqing's palace was not like other palaces in Beijing that heard about this gossip in time.
So the old lady asked: "How?"
"Prince Guchang Bo drowned a wild boar cub when he was relieving himself, which led to the wild boar chasing him. For this reason, the eldest princess went to the palace to complain. Prince Guchang Bo was taken outside the gate by Jin Linwei and beat him with twenty boards in public... …”
This thing was so bizarre that the old lady couldn't help but look at her eldest grandson.
Duan Yunchen nodded slightly: "My grandson has also heard about it."
It is said that Zhang Xufu, the grandson of Zhang Shoufu, took half a day off to visit his injured friend.
The old lady opened her mouth: "It's really ridiculous."
Duan Yunlang changed the subject: "Cousin, as soon as the news about you saving the eldest princess's beloved daughter spread, the bookstore's business became even better. My eldest brother and I passed by there this morning and found that there was a long queue before the door opened."
Hearing Duan Yunlang mention the bookstore, Xin You thought about going back: "Grandma, there are so many people in the bookstore that things can easily go wrong. I want to go back and have a look."
"Then we'll leave after lunch."
Xin You nodded. Unexpectedly, not long after, someone came to the eldest princess's mansion again.
This time, a well-dressed woman came, about thirty years old, and she was the aunt in charge of Princess Zhaoyang.
After greeting the old lady, the steward aunt explained her purpose of visit: "I wonder if it would be convenient for Miss Kou to go to the eldest princess's mansion?"
