169.Chapter 169: Embroidered Jade's Birthday
Yuan Jinyu believed that Lixiao could complete the task, but she still cared about her young age. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven the people she will deal with this time are old fritters in the capital, and no one knows what will happen.
Seeing that Lixiao is young, those people will inevitably have contempt, and it is also possible to cheat Lixiao. So in any case, it's better to be careful.
What Li Xiao thought about was to write a document for the young lady to look at first, and then take action herself.
Seeing that Yuan Jinyu seemed to be tired, Li Xiao couldn't help but care: "Miss go to rest today, tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest lady, there must be a lot of people in this house, Miss You may not have a day of leisure." ”
Since two months ago, for this birthday gift, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been preparing, and Lixiao was also recruited because of the lack of manpower in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But because she was injured these days, she didn't do any work.
Yuan Jinyu yawned again, and when she got sleepy, her big eyes narrowed slightly, with a little confusion, her hands supported her head, and she was still insisting: "Because this matter must be done in secret, so tomorrow I will find a reason to send you to another courtyard, and after you recover from your injuries there, you will start to buy tea." And it's not a last resort in the future, the two of us can't meet, if there's any news, you can pass it on to me through ginkgo or red leaves. And ......" Yuan Jinyu looked at Li Xiao's tender little face: "Although women's clothing is also good, but after all, you are young and will inevitably have trouble, so you will dress up as a man in the future." ”
Lixiao nodded: "The slave understands." ”
Yuan Jinyu couldn't hold on anymore, so he sent Lixiao away and went back to rest.
The second **** got up very early, and after going to say goodbye to the old lady, he asked people to take advantage of the dawn to send Lixiao to the other courtyard.
Today is Yuan Xiuyu's fifteenth birthday and Lu's birthday, as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in more than a month, she will marry the King of Chu as a concubine, and countless people in the capital are going to come to congratulate. So although the banquet was officially held in the evening, Yuan Jinyu needed to follow Yuan Xiuyu's side early to help her get up and down.
Cui's was also very busy today, Yuan Jinyu just glanced at her when she first went to her yard, and she didn't say a few words, and she never saw her again.
However, Yuan Xiuyu always let Yuan Jinyu follow him, and the two of them received the ladies who came to congratulate them in the front hall, and then invited them to the remote area to prepare refreshments, Yuan Jinyu watched Yuan Xiuyu and those women gossiping.
These people are all wives and daughters in the house, and they have never liked to have any contact with a concubine like Yuan Jinyu, and today is still Yuan Xiuyu's birthday, so everyone must have to talk to Yuan Xiuyu more.
Yuan Jinyu didn't feel like she was left out at all, she picked up the tea from time to time and took a sip, or ate two bites of pastries, lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and occasionally said a few words to show that she was listening.
It's not that those people didn't notice Yuan Jinyu. Yuan Jinyu wore a pale pink pleated dress today, with beautiful hair buns, and only wore a vermilion hairpin on her head, but judging from the style and materials of the vermilion hairpin, they are all high-quality. When she came with Yuan Xiuyu just now, she walked steadily for such a long time, and the tassel on her head didn't even shake, so that many women couldn't help but praise in their hearts, this third lady of Xiangfu not only has the posture of heaven and man, but also learns the rules so well.
And the dress she chose, Mingli would not steal the limelight of Yuan Xiuyu, plus she was sitting there quietly at this time, not like a magnolia, but like a peach blossom with buds waiting to be released. At this time, her face was slightly red, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and when she looked at her beautiful eyes, many young ladies were very surprised in their hearts.
With this kind of appearance, I don't think there will be a few in the whole Great Zhou.
Although Yuan Xiuyu and Yuan Jinyu have already torn their faces, in front of outsiders, they still have to show a sisterly and happy appearance. At this time, Yuan Xiuyu accosted Yuan Jinyu: "Sister, sister heard that you went to a little maid from the yard yesterday, and sent it away this morning? What's the matter? Did that maid anger you?"
Yuan Xiuyu knew last night that the maid named Lixiao had been taken to Yuan Jinyu's yard, because Mrs. Li from the yard of the miscellaneous servants sent another maid in the evening, saying that she had stolen the money and hoped that Mrs. would call the shots.
At that time, my mother was busy with her birthday, and she didn't have any heart to care about the things in the yard, so she just beat the maid for thirty boards and almost lost her life, and then fined Mrs. Li two months' monthly money, and then let them go back.
That's why Yuan Xiuyu remembered this incident, and most importantly, this matter was related to her sister. I heard that when Yuan Jinyu went to see Lixiao in the yard of the miscellaneous servants, he sent snacks and medicine.
Yuan Jinyu listened to Yuan Jinyu's question, and those ladies also looked at it, although they were not too curious, they still hoped that Yuan Jinyu would explain.
Yuan Jinyu just smiled slightly and looked at Yuan Xiuyu: "My sister is right, I just wanted to choose a maid yesterday, and I thought she was a good match, so I took it back, who knew that I was really clumsy and disgusting to see her at night, so I sent her to another hospital." ”
Yuan Xiuyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "So, this selection of maids, you still have to use it yourself, sister, there are a lot of maids in your yard, so you have to go to the yard to choose something." ”
As soon as Yuan Xiuyu's voice fell, a young lady from a small family answered in order to please her: "No, the rough maids there can do rough talk, and they can't do this kind of trivial work of serving people." ”
Yuan Xiuyu nodded, glanced at the woman appreciatively, thinking that this is right, she is Miss Yan, Yuan Jinyu is Miss Shu, why do those princes think about Yuan Jinyu everywhere?
"Miss Ben's sister is kind-hearted, maybe she didn't expect that, she thinks that people who are used to foul words can serve her well, everyone don't want to laugh at Jinyu. Yuan Xiuyu's words sounded like she was defending Yuan Jinyu, but in fact, she was scolding her for being a rough person, so she would think of picking a maid from the rough maid.
Although Yuan Jinyu knew that she couldn't say too much on this occasion, and then let Yuan Xiuyu make trouble, she was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others, so she only said: "The rough envoys and girls in the Prime Minister's Mansion are also carefully selected, give them a chance, it may not be as good as serving our big maids, and the work of serving people, even if they are big maids, don't they start learning from raw hands." ”
Yuan Xiuyu's eyes were slightly cold, but the corners of her mouth still had a smile: "Then why don't my sister call a few little maids from my yard to serve you?"
Yuan Jinyu stared into her eyes, and her smile was even brighter than Fang Cai: "This is not necessary, my sister also knows, my yard is very small, besides, why do you want to pick a maid from the yard of miscellaneous servants, isn't my sister the one who knows best." ”
Yuan Jinyu's words, when others hear them, will think of what she just said, and they feel that the rough maids are not bad, and they should be given a chance, but in Yuan Xiuyu's ears, it is not the case at all. Yuan Jinyu was clearly saying that Yuan Xiuyu had planted ill-intentioned eyeliner in the past, and she would rather find a clumsy rough maid than ask for Yuan Xiuyu's people.
After eating a dumb Yuan Xiuyu, his chest couldn't help but feel stuffy.
This Yuan Jinyu is always like this, she is unforgiving, and she can't say anything about her, so she will be half angry with her every time.
The two sisters were laughing, but everyone present felt a little cold. Someone hurriedly stood up to ease the atmosphere, and then everyone had a happy conversation again.
After talking for a while, I heard someone outside loudly announcing the news: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived! His Royal Highness the King of Duan has arrived!"
The women were suddenly stunned, this His Royal Highness the King of Chu came over, it was understandable, after all, it was the fifteenth birthday gift of his future princess, but why did King Duan come over?
Although I was surprised in my heart, after reacting, there was still a young lady who said something flattering, and she also looked at Xiangyuan Xiuyu and said: "Sister Xiuyu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but I came to see you." ”
Yuan Xiuyu's face turned red, and she glanced at the woman with disgust: "You talk a lot! His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be looking for his father to discuss something, where is your kind of reason!"
The women in the room all covered their mouths and laughed, and Yuan Jinyu also pretended to laugh kindly. In fact, what she thought was that it would be bad enough for the two princes to get together, but don't come again.
Where do you know, what are you afraid of, and then there is a rumor outside: "His Royal Highness King Rui has arrived! His Royal Highness King Ning has arrived! The fifteenth prince has arrived!"
This time, even Yuan Jinyu was surprised, the fifteenth prince also came? Yuan Xiuyi let him out of the palace? Or did he pester King Ning?
As for King Rui, Yuan Jinyu couldn't figure out what he was thinking in his heart, so he took one step at a time.
The room was like a pot boiling at this moment, and said to Yuan Xiuyu: "Miss Xiuyu, you are really blessed, several princes are actually here, and even the fifteenth prince has also come!"
Now who doesn't know that the emperor promoted Yuan Xiuyi to the position in the first month, and recently I heard that she often stays there, and many people even speculate that the fifteenth prince is about to be crowned king.
However, above the fifteenth prince, there is also an eleventh prince Mu Zhao, since the emperor said that he was not allowed to participate in the early dynasty, it has been several months, and the eleventh prince and Shen Guifei are very peaceful.
Outsiders didn't know what was happening in the early court at that time, but they only thought that it might be Mu Zhao who angered Long Yan. Now that the fifteenth prince Mu Lin is in the limelight, it is not impossible to surpass Mu Zhao and crown Mu Lin as the king.
Yuan Jinyu felt that if the emperor was really good for Mu Lin, he would not be crowned king so quickly. He is younger than himself, and he has no merit on him, but it is a disadvantage to be crowned king, and he will set up more enemies for Mu Lin and Yuan Xiuyi.
