Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Great Family, a Great Business

Once the women of Guozijian quarreled, it would not be possible to coax them for a while, Mu Chenghuang looked for a season, and hurriedly rushed in the direction of Jinglan Palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After returning to Jinglan Palace, Baojuan, who was sent out of the palace, finally rushed back, looking at her flustered and uncertain look, Mu Chenghuang probably thought that it was not ideal to let Baojuan go out to inquire after he finished the exam.

Mu Chenghuang glanced outside, asked those little palace maids to retreat, and only left Wen Zhi and Baojuan, and then said slowly: "Say it." ”

Baojuan knelt down tremblingly, and first kowtowed to Mu Chenghuang three times before he said: "It's the slave who is sorry for the fifth princess, and it's the slave who can't do things." ”

Mu Chenghuang hurriedly helped her up: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let me ask you, have you found the Taofu family who gave you the book at that time?"

Mu Chenghuang sent Baojuan out at noon just for this, she always felt that this "Bamboo Book Chronicle" was too strange, what topic to come up with this strategy, it must be over Dr. Tao's eyes, with Dr. Tao's person, it is absolutely impossible to let Mu Chenghuang use the book containing the topic as an after-school homework.

Baojuan shook his head: " On that day, after watching Dr. Tao come out, the slave maid had already stepped out of the door of the Tao family, and a middle-aged dressed person chased him out, saying that Dr. Tao left some extracurricular books for the five princesses, and let the slave maid take them back, the slave maid remembered the appearance of the person clearly, the national character face, born tall, and there was a mole on the left side of the face, at that time the slave maid also asked him your surname, but people didn't say it, only said that it was an inconspicuous old slave of the Tao family, and the slave didn't think much about it, the slave and maid went to inquire today, the Tao family did not have this middle-aged national character face at all, and the house slave with a mole on the face。 ”

Mu Chenghuang's heart was already the best preparation, there was not much gap, Baojuan kowtowed to Mu Chenghuang again and again: "This matter is the negligence of the slave maid, if you blame it in the future, the slave and maid will definitely not drag down the princess." ”

"What are you doing here?" Mu Chenghuang pulled up Baojuan and coaxed, "You are my personal palace maid, what is the difference between what you do and what I do, in the eyes of outsiders? Now that there are two days left before the review of the file, it must not be easy for people who can reach out to the people around Dr. Tao's mansion. ”

It seems to be subconscious, Mu Chenghuang will always think of the one in the Yuchun Palace, after all, if what Mu Chenglan told him is true, then Concubine Xi is the person who is most qualified to do it.

In the evening, Mu Chenghuang reviewed the last two rituals and Ming characters under the dimly beating candlelight, but his mind was always wandering on the page, and his heart was full of news that he knew in the evening, Wen Zhi and Baojuan knew that Mu Chenghuang was distressed in his heart, and the steps in and out of the tea were extremely light, but unfortunately this candle flame was too much, Wen Zhi had cut the wick of the candle with scissors several times, and he didn't even dare to cover the gauze cover, but the candlelight was still dim.

Mu Chenghuang turned his eyes to look at the candle flame that wanted to be extinguished, and he became more and more thoughtless, this was the parrot outside, saying that the little quail beside Prince Su was here and asked to see him.

Prince Su. Mu Chenghuang muttered in his heart, and had already waved his hand for Baojuan to bring the quail in.

The quail was still the same, looking like a clever ghost, and said, "My prince asked the little one to bring some things to the fifth princess, and you brought the things in." ”

"What is this?" Baojuan had already stepped forward to open one of the elm boxes, and a greasy smell wafted out, and Baojuan's tone was a little happy, "Ah, it's fish oil." ”

Quail continued: "The prince knows that the fifth princess has been studying hard for the exam recently, and there is not enough candle flame in Jinglan Palace, so he specially asked the small one to send good fish oil over, and the lamp can be lit on weekdays, if it is not used up, it is also excellent for cooking and hair care." ”

Mu Chenghuang's throat choked, and suddenly thought that she seemed to say such a sentence to Prince Su angrily that day, but she didn't expect that this imperial uncle would remember it in his heart, Mu Chenghuang stiffly stretched out his index finger and pointed at these two large boxes of fish oil: "This fish oil is not refined by your prince from the carp caught in the thousand carp pond." ”

The fifth princess laughed. Quail smiled, "It's all redundant in the palace, and it's just a possibility, so I simply sent it to the fifth princess." ”

Baojuan was stunned when he heard this: "Sure enough, it's a big business, the candles in our palace are not enough, such an expensive fish oil, there are so many that can't be used up." ”

"Then thank you for the kindness of your lord. Mu Chenghuang naturally knew that this matter was not exactly like what the quail said, and most likely it was that the imperial uncle was afraid that he would not accept it, so he said that it was just some redundant and inexhaustible.

There were no other orders, the quail was about to retreat, Mu Chenghuang suddenly thought of what happened just now, shouted to him and asked, "By the way, your lord, is it very familiar with the old lady of the Lin family?"

"That's nature. The quail puffed up his chest slightly, "Although the prince of our family is not a disciple of Old Lady Lin, he is also personally instructed by Old Lady Lin." ”

Although it was said that Mrs. Lin had been in Yangzhou before, but during the Spring Festival, Lin Shangshu took Mrs. Lin back from Yangzhou, and it stands to reason that she should go back now, but I heard that the daughter of the Shen family will enter Beijing in a few days, and the old lady of the Lin family is also ready to supervise Lin Guanlan's marriage with her life, and has stayed until now.

"Got it. Mu Chenghuang thought about it in his heart, but he didn't point it out, the quail's eyes swept around, and he didn't ask much, and then followed Baojuan out.

Quail and Baojuan are also familiar with each other, and they are not as tense as the first time they meet, Baojuan has few opportunities to go out of the palace, and along the way, Quail and Baojuan talked about interesting things outside the palace to make Baojuan giggle, passing by a corridor at the entrance of the palace, but heard that the first old palace maid in Jinglan Palace was teaching the parrot a lesson.

"It's really useless to not even cut a flower branch, I'm afraid that the white meat of your body is just eating every day and not working. ”

Although the old palace maid is older, but has always been doing rough work outside, the parrot is the one who was selected to serve the princess closely, I heard before, the older palace maids in this palace like to bully those young ones the most, let those little palace maids do their own work, but they are lazy, they were not caught before, and now they are seen by this fire tube Baojuan, Baojuan rolled up his sleeves and went up and scolded:" Aunt Xiao is so blessed that she dares to command the people around the princess, isn't it possible that she has taken herself as the master?"

Baojuan said, while dragging the parrot behind him, let the quail take care of it, the parrot just can't do these rough work of pruning flowers and branches, the sharp scissors are even more cut on the fingers, the quail saw it, and hurriedly took out a white new handkerchief from his arms: "Ah, your fingers are bleeding, wipe them quickly." ”

The parrot hung its head: "No need, it's not good to stain your veil." ”

"My handkerchief is not worth much," the quail comforted her, looking at the parrot's cowardly appearance, her heart became softer and softer, and she couldn't help but think of her own life experience, if she didn't save the prince's life, she was afraid that she would be a hundred times more miserable than the parrot, "The East Gate Market is a dozen, really." ”

The parrot took the handkerchief in disbelief, but did not dare to knead it in his hand, this handkerchief was too clean, like snow, but it was a treasure cuckoo, and he caught a glimpse of a handkerchief in the parrot's hand, and there were blood stains on the palms of this hand, while grabbing the parrot's hand to wipe it for her, and finally said to this Aunt Xiao: "If you let me see you again, tell the princess to let the princess drive you all to the court bureau as a laundry maid, hum." ”

Baojuan pulled the parrot and turned his head to leave, who expected this Xiao palace maid to muttered behind her back: "It's just an unfavored princess, I really think I'm a terrible horn." ”

Baojuan couldn't hear anyone say this about Mu Chenghuang, just like the quail's previous protector, she turned around in an uproar, gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say?"

Xiao Gongnu relied on her age, but also thought that since she had found a way out, she was not afraid of a momentary tongue, she leaned around, looked lazy, and spoke with an edge: "Who doesn't know in the Six Palaces, after the death of the concubine Niangniang, this Jinglan Palace is as gloomy as the ghost king's underworld, our princess is not to be seen by the emperor, and she doesn't let people say it?"

Baojuan was about to step forward and tear this mouth full of dung, but fortunately he was dragged by parrots and quails, and this Xiao palace maid knew that it would not be good for her to make trouble, so she just lifted the flower scissors angrily and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground: "Who rarely cuts wood pimples here." ”

Xiao Gongnu walked away, Baojuan's anger was not sprinkled, but she just dragged it into the bushes, and several cuts were drawn on her hands, and the quail saw that she was busy and persuaded: "Grumpy aunt, this is a moon flower, with thorns, why bother to waste your own jade hands with such a person." ”

The quail said lightly, Baojuan's heart is just more and more for his own master to feel worthless, looking at the quail cloud light and breezy appearance, is to think that your master is Prince Su, although the legs and feet are not good, but there is still the emperor's trust, the queen mother's grace, food and clothing have always been the best, even fish oil This kind of good thing can be given away at will two large boxes, but what about his own master, when he thinks of the middle-aged uncle with a mole, Baojuan is angry and annoyed, if he can pay attention to it at that time, it will not be his own master is calculated.

"You're the one who helped the palace maid Xiao speak. Baojuan's little face turned red, and he took the parrot's hand and left, leaving only the quail scratching his head in confusion.
