Spring flowers are blooming.
The snow wolf chases the butterfly among the flowers.
Two children ran around the snow wolf.
Yun Chu sat in the sun and looked at the account book, taking a sip of tea from time to time and quietly watching the children playing.
She noticed that Tingxue seemed a little uneasy and forgot to add water when the tea bottomed out.
"Tingxue." Yunchu called out, but Tingxue was still distracted and didn't hear her.
Tingfeng next to her bumped Tingxue's arm hard and reminded: "Sister Tingxue, the princess is calling you."
Tingxue hurriedly stepped forward, then noticed that the tea was gone, and quickly added water.
Yun Chu raised his hand and waved, and the servants around him bowed their heads and retreated. The two children were led by Tingfeng and Amao to play outside the courtyard.
They were the only two masters and servants left in the whole yard.
"I noticed a month ago that you are often distracted." Yunchu said, "We grew up together. Although we are master and servant, we also have a sisterly relationship. If you have any concerns, please tell me."
Tingxue lowered her head.
Over the past month or so, she had indeed been distracted. When standing behind the princess, she would inexplicably think about other things.
If she had been replaced by another master, I'm afraid she would have been abandoned long ago.
The princess was kind-hearted and came to comfort her.
"Slave, slave..." Tingxue was a little embarrassed to open her mouth, but she knew she had to say it. The princess turned away the others. If she held it in any longer, she would have let down the princess's good intentions.
"The day before yesterday, Mr. Cheng, he gave all the money he had saved over the years to this slave. He said it was a betrothal gift and wanted to marry this slave..." Her head was almost buried in her chest, "This slave doesn't know what to do..."
Yun Chu's eyes shone with interest.
She had already guessed that Tingxue had a sweetheart. It turned out to be the program, a person far away and right in front of her.
She heard Amao complain that the program was very stingy and that in all these years, no one from the palace had ever been treated to even a peanut.
For someone who valued money so much, to use all his belongings as a betrothal gift showed that he valued Tingxue enough in his heart.
Yunchu calmed his voice and asked, "Tingxue, what do you think?"
"My slave, I don't know either." Tingxue's face turned crimson, "Please make up your mind, Princess."
"Follow your heart." Yun Chu held her hand, "If you have a program in your mind, that would be the best. If you are not willing, I will reject his marriage proposal for you."
Tingxue stammered: "Slave, think about it again..."
While Tingxue was struggling, the program was drinking to relieve his sorrow.
Two days had passed since the day he asked for marriage. He didn't dare to go to the princess's yard again. He didn't know how to face Tingxue.
The first time he saw Tingxue, he was deeply attracted. Slowly, he could no longer take his eyes away from Tingxue.
He finally plucked up the courage to express his feelings, but his betrothal gift was thrown to the ground by Tingxue. He had saved so much money with great effort, including monthly payments, rewards, interest...he gave it all After listening to Xue, she threw his thoughts on the ground.
The program sadly drank a large bottle of wine.
"You stinky boy!" Manager Cheng walked into his room and slapped him on the back of the head. "The prince is out on business, and you hide here and drink every day. The prince doesn't care about you, and you slap your nose in the face. Hurry up." Yes, wash your face and go find the prince!"
"Dad, I feel so bad..." The program hugged Mr. Cheng, wiping his tears and nose, "I finally met someone I like, but she doesn't like me, wuwuwu, I feel so uncomfortable. Who can feel so uncomfortable?" It’s too cruel for me to go on duty..."
Manager Cheng's eyes lit up: "Come, let's talk to dad about what's going on."
The program drank wine and told everything about that day.
"What did you say?!" Manager Cheng slapped her again, "You like this girl, and you don't find a matchmaker, so you directly ask for marriage. This is disrespectful to her. It's strange that she agreed! What a bastard. You dare to do something like this without knowing anything, and you almost ruined a good marriage! Okay, stop drinking, leave this matter to your father and I, I will definitely take care of it for you!"
That afternoon, Manager Cheng found a matchmaker and took him directly to Yunchu's yard.
"I have met the princess." Manager Cheng said with a smile, "This is Matchmaker Liu. Let Matchmaker Liu talk to the princess."
Matchmaker Liu is a well-known matchmaker in the capital. He waved his handkerchief and stepped forward and said, "I'd like to say hello to the princess. I'm here to work as a matchmaker. I heard that there is a beautiful maid named Tingxue beside the princess. I don't know if I'm betrothed to you." No one else?"
Tingxue, who was standing behind Yun Chu, suddenly blushed.
Yun Chu smiled and said: "We are looking at each other, but we haven't decided yet."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Matchmaker Liu laughed and said, "You should know Mr. Cheng's son, the princess. His name is Program. He looks like a jade tree in the wind. He is suave. I won't say anything about his appearance. He is mainly down-to-earth. You are willing to work. At a young age, you have become the first bodyguard around Pingxi King. He is a third-rank official. The younger one is just a matchmaker for Master Cheng. I wonder what the princess thinks?"
Yunchu finally saw the matchmaker's mouth. She admitted that the program was practical and willing to do it, but it still didn't match the word "Yushu Linfeng".
She said: "Tingxue is my most powerful girl, but I still feel a little reluctant to part with her."
Matchmaker Liu bumped into Manager Cheng and signaled that Manager Cheng could speak now.
It was also the first time for Manager Cheng to do such a thing. He coughed and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Although Tingxue is married to the Cheng family, she is still on duty by the Princess' side. The old slave has already purchased a house for the program as a wedding room. Tingxue will be on duty for the princess during the day, and let the two of them spend the night on their own without any delay."
Tingxue's face turned redder and redder, and she wished she could find an excuse to leave.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give Manager Cheng a reply in three days."
Manager Cheng nodded and left. As soon as he reached the door of the yard, the program popped up: "What's going on, dad, is it done?"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Manager Cheng glared at him angrily, "Everything has a process, take your time."
The program scratched his head and held it in for a long time before asking: "Dad, how much did it cost to hire a matchmaker?"
Manager Cheng said casually: "Twenty taels."
"So expensive?" The program was shocked. "If I find it myself, five taels of silver will be enough. Dad, you are wasting money..."
Manager Cheng: "..."
He had been generous and tolerant all his life, but how could he have raised such a stingy son?
He walked away.
The program sighed.
His father finally saved some pension money, and now he spent twenty taels. His heart was probably bleeding, so he might as well pay it back later.
As he was stepping out, he met Nanny Er. Seeing a girl following behind Nanny Er, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Nanny, isn't this Ding Dong?"
He knew Ding Dong. She was Grandma Er's daughter. She had been serving in the palace since she was a child. She had not been here for the past two years. When he saw her at first, he was a little surprised.
Aunt Er smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, the prince has just returned to the house. You should go to the front yard to wait on him."
The program knew that he had been ridiculous for two days, and he did not dare to neglect his duty again, so he left immediately.
Aunt Er took her daughter Ding Dong into the main courtyard.
