After Fan Yaofang entered the palace, she was assigned to the imperial garden to be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.

Moreover, she is still the one in charge of sprinkling and sweeping at night.

Every night she rested in the palace, and then she went out to clean the imperial garden, and went back to her house to rest before dawn.

Mosquito bites in the summer, and biting winds in the winter.

These Fan Yaofang can bear it.

She would rather stay in the palace and suffer than go home.

Her mother had told her that her maternal grandfather's family did not want to see her mother, and told her not to rely on her relatives on her grandfather's side, and told her that her father was also unreliable.

She knew that if she stayed at home, she would definitely be sold by her father and stepmother.

Therefore, when she entered the palace, she brought what her mother left for her and came in without hesitation.

She didn't think about standing out with her good looks, nor did she think about fighting for anything, she just wanted to live and live until the day she could get out of the palace.

Fan Yaofang once thought that this was the end of her life.

Sprinkle and sweep the imperial garden every day, carefully save the moon silver, and wait for the twenty-five years old to leave the palace, or die alone, or adopt a child to support her in the future.

She had no idea that such an unchanging life would suddenly change.

On this day, Fan Yaofang slept all afternoon, and after she got up, she should have dinner and then prepare to go to work.

As a result, before she received food from her side, the eunuch who was in charge of managing the imperial garden came to her.

Fan Yaofang was frightened.

She stuck her head and said softly, "Father-in-law, I, I shouldn't have made a mistake." ”

The steward eunuch showed a smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, you didn't make a mistake, you are lucky, and the Empress Taishang specially ordered you to serve." ”

"Huh?"

Fan Yaofang was frightened.

Queen Taishang, a character she couldn't think of, would order her a little girl to serve.

In other words, if she is the eldest aunt who serves in the womb of a concubine, it is also reasonable, but she is a little girl who sweeps the garden at night, how does Queen Taishang know about her.

Fan Yaofang opened a pair of big eyes, and fear leaked from these eyes.

The eunuch in charge found out that the little girl who swept the garden every night was quite good-looking, but this girl was afraid that she had never dressed up, or rather, she deliberately dressed up ugly, so she always looked inconspicuous.

The eunuch in charge didn't know why Empress Taishang had ordered Fan Yaofang to go.

Now looking at this little girl, I began to think about whether it would be the Empress Taishang who saw that this little girl was good-looking, and felt that this was an honest child, so I asked her to help serve the Emperor Taishang in order to consolidate her favor?

Thinking about it like this, the eunuch in charge was even more enthusiastic about Fan Yaofang.

He urged the little eunuch under him vigorously, and soon brought over a new palace suit.

The eunuch in charge said with a smile: "Hot water has been prepared in the house, the girl should hurry up and take a shower and change her clothes, don't delay serving the master." ”

Although Fan Yaofang was very afraid, she still nodded obediently.

She went into the house and took a bath, changed the material and workmanship were very good, and she was very comfortable and beautiful to wear.

The eunuch in charge not only brought her palace clothes, but also a set of jewelry.

Although this set of jewelry is not very valuable, Fan Yaofang has never brought jewelry since she entered the palace, and now looking at this, she also feels a little trance.

She picked a silver hairpin and put it on, and a shrimp bracelet on her wrist came out.

As soon as she cleaned up like this, the whole person showed a lot of energy, and it also made the eunuch in charge see that she was really deliberately ugly before.

Now that I've taken a shower and combed my hair back, this little girl is really beautiful.

However, the eunuch in charge didn't say anything to Fan Yaofang, so he urged her to hurry out of Shunzhen Gate, and there was a carriage waiting for her outside.

Fan Yaofang took a small bag, packed some things she usually used, and got into the carriage.

It was the first time she entered the palace or left the palace, and when she sat in the carriage, she couldn't help but look around.

The carriage went farther and farther, and it got darker and darker.

When the sky was completely dark, Fan Yaofang entered the Royal Garden.

When she entered the garden, she became even more apprehensive.

Waiting until she reached the residence of Empress Taishang, Fan Yaofang took a deep breath and told herself that she must be calm.

She stood outside the house, waiting for the grandmother who had brought her to come in and report it.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, and there were a lot of horns hanging outside the residence of Queen Taishang, and there were many palace lights, which were much brighter.

Outside the house, there was the sound of insects chirping, and the whirring wind, and the wind was a little cool.

But Fan Yaofang was still sweating.

She was clutching her little baggage when the curtain opened, and a little girl in a light blue dress walked out.

The little girl is really good-looking, and there is a feeling of pity for me.

Fan Yaofang looked at the little girl and always felt very familiar.

Then she remembered that the little girl seemed to bear some resemblance to her mother.

"Sister. ”

The little girl came over and screamed sweetly.

Fan Yaofang was stunned: "The girl is calling me?"

"Hmm. ”

The little girl smiled, took Fan Yaofang's hand and walked in: "My mother is Tang Xu, your little aunt." ”

Fan Yaofang remembered that she had a little aunt named Xu, who seemed to be married to Tanhualang back then, and she had been in Jiangnan since then.

And she also understands why this little girl is so familiar, isn't it just like her mother, too, her niece, who looks like an aunt.

When Fan Yaofang entered the house, when Fan Yaofang saw Anning sitting on the chair and looking at her with a smile, she didn't know why, her heart was sour, and tears fell.

She hurriedly knelt down and snorted: "The slave has seen the master, please say hello to the master." ”

A palace maid had already come over to help Fan Yaofang up.

An Ning looked at Fan Yaofang's eyes, and said to the servant: "You guys go down, I'll talk to Miss Fan." ”

Soon the palace maids and grandmothers withdrew.

An Ning smiled and got up and grabbed Fan Yaofang: "Don't be afraid, your maternal great-grandmother is my own sister, and you have to call me aunt and grandmother." ”

Fan Yaofang blinked.

She finally understood everything now.

It turned out that Queen Taishang was actually a relative of her family, so it was no wonder that she would be specially called to serve, this was to give her a good future.

You must know that even if the palace maid who has served the Empress Taishang is released, it is very dignified, or she can find a good family to marry, or she will be a nurturing grandmother for those dignitaries and nobles.

"Auntie, grandmother. ”

Fan Yaofang screamed softly.

An Ning patted her hand with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will follow my aunt and grandmother in the future, and I will find a future for you." ”

The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong

Tang Bai took the letter passed to him by An Ning and looked at it for a long time, his expression was very gloomy.

"Sir. ”

Li Shi pushed him: "What's the matter?"

Tang Bai sighed: "Grandmother said that the emperor is going to urge the payment of debts, I remember that our family still owes the court a lot of silver, which must be repaid, but now there is really not much in the treasury." ”

Li Shi also began to worry: "No, let's sell some large and bulky things, after all, if we can make some, we can make some." ”

Tang Bai shook his head, he thought for a long time, and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Well, for the sake of the future of our house, for the lives of these people, my lord, I will fight this time. ”

Soon, Tang Bai called someone to find Tang Pei and Tang Tao.

The father and son discussed for a while, and Tang Bai went out of the city the next day and arrived at the Zhuangzi that An Ning bought outside the city.

There lived many veterans who had followed Tang Fang on the battlefield earlier and their juniors.

These people have always been raised by Tang Bai and are very loyal to Tang Bai.

Tang Bai gathered these people together and gave them a careful order.

In the next few days, Tang Bai and Tang Pei, who had asked for leave, and Tang Tao, father and son, each took a team of people to raid the companion rooms of several masters such as the Song family and the Zhang family, as well as the big housekeeper in the house, the second housekeeper and the homes of various small principals.

I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Tang Bai didn't expect that there were those subordinates in the house, and the people who were raised were so big that they didn't take the master in their eyes at all, and stole I don't know how much property they stole one by one.

The Song family's companion Liu Da's family alone copied 100,000 taels of silver, as well as the deed of more than a dozen houses, as well as the title deeds of several Zhuangzi.
