313. Chapter 313: A Helper
Luan'er immediately said obediently: "It's just some trivial things, it should have been done a long time ago, always lazy, a little tighter will be done soon, but I want to trouble the master and the princess to inform me." ”
Rong Qingyi immediately shook her head, smiled and said, "It's okay, just come to my mother-in-law's place." ”
Luan'er didn't say much anymore, and stood on the side with her hands down and waited.
Princess Jane didn't say what she said before, and casually talked a few words, but it was just a short time, and she wanted to go into the house to rest under the excuse that she was tired and asked Luan'er to send Rong Qingyi away, Luan'er bent over Princess Jane respectfully, and accompanied Rong Qingyi out of Princess Jane's courtyard with a smile, and sent Rong Qingyi out as usual.
"Quan Gongzi told the slave and the master to say that he would do his best." Out of Princess Jane's courtyard, Luan'er immediately said in a sincere tone, "Quan Gongzi said that this is also an opportunity for him to gain a foothold in the capital, and maybe he can find a way to support himself, although he doesn't read a lot of books, but fortunately, he has experienced some outside for more than ten years." ”
Rong Qingyi nodded, "Since he is willing to agree, it also shows that he does feel guilty, and I don't mean anything else, but I just want to please a trick and like it in front of the Queen Mother, he just needs to write an interesting play, it doesn't have to be too fancy, just be touching and festive." ”
Luan'er immediately smiled and nodded, "Quan Gongzi said that he would do his best, and he would definitely work hard to do a good job, the slave and maid believed that Quan Gongzi was a man who kept his promises, although the slave and the maid were not very familiar with him, but after these few days of interaction, the slave and the maid could still assert this, and the master could believe what the slave said." ”
Rong Qingyi showed a faint smile on her face, and said in a calm tone: "In the end, Sister Luan'er, as soon as she comes out, she will get twice the result with half the effort, but I still thought that maybe Quan Huan would not agree, or he would have to put forward some conditions, which would be excellent." By the way, I met Mother Li, who was doing chores in the palace just now, and I heard her say that she was going to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables outside to make some side dishes to eat, and you talked to her, and said that Qingyi also likes this, can you prepare some for Qingyi. ”
Luan'er immediately smiled and said: "You said Mother Li, this is very simple, that is a warm-hearted person, and an old servant of the family, likes to laugh, is particularly likable in the palace, usually likes to be greedy for a cup, sometimes drunk will stay outside and wake up before coming back, people in the palace joked, that is, a figure is not outstanding, otherwise, drunk outside, maybe he will not come back, there are many widowers in the world, just look for it and maybe have children." ”
Rong Qingyi smiled and said, "At her age, you can't bear to make fun of her." Isn't she a domestic servant brought by her mother-in-law from her mother's house? Listening to the surname Li, I thought that it was also a member of the Li family, just like you, and also had its own routine to follow. ”
Rong Qingyi's words were very unintentional, and he didn't look at Luan'er's face as he spoke, and looked at the flowers and plants on both sides of the road casually, as if he was just saying it casually.
"This, the slave maid is not very clear." Luan'er hesitated, and her tone was hesitant, "Everyone in the palace knows that she is a slave here, but whether it was brought by the princess's mother's family or the original Aunt Zhou's house, or the slave in the original prince's house, no one knows, there are many slaves in the palace, especially this kind of heavy work, but it is just cleaning in the back, sometimes doing some pulp washing and cleaning things, rough slaves, no one cares, or life or death depends on creation." ”
Rong Qingyi nodded, and said casually: "Where did she come from, Qingyi doesn't want to know, Qingyi just wants to eat a delicious side dish and change the taste, you go back, my mother-in-law is probably tired, and I want you to wait and rest." ”
"Okay." Luan'er didn't insist, bent over, and then turned back to Princess Jane's courtyard.
Rong Qingyi walked slowly and leisurely along the bluestone path, about twenty or thirty meters, and met Jin Zhong who was waiting on the side of the road, and glanced at him, "Luan'er told me that Quan Huan had agreed." ”
"Yes." Jin Zhong immediately said respectfully, "He agreed very happily and didn't hesitate much." ”
Rong Qingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and said, "He was so bold that he agreed to my request without consulting Li Yujin, and he was very happy?!" is not afraid that his grandmother will be angry with him, he is a temperamental, no wonder Li Yujin likes him. Well, that's fine, so as not to have to go through the trouble of lobbying him. ”
Jin Zhong said hesitantly: "Do you want to wait for the master to come back and discuss with the master before making a decision?" ”
"Won't he come back in the evening?" Rong Qingyi said indifferently, "Don't worry, your master is a big-hearted person, he won't be surprised what I do, as long as I don't affect the safety of King Jian's mansion, even if I want to take the sun off the sky, he won't blink his eyes to express his surprise, maybe he will move a ladder to me, which can be regarded as a helper." ”
Jin Zhong grinned, didn't say a word for a long time, what to say, what Rong Qingyi said this, it really seemed to drill into the master's heart, yes, Jin Zhong also felt that Rong Qingyi seemed to be the second master, and the expression between the words was also very similar to the master, yes, that's it, the master also said, now even if Rong Qingyi does something strange, there is no need to express strangeness, just listen.
"Don't be half-open, tired, and stupid." Rong Qingyi said in a kind tone, "It's not been a day or two in King Jian's mansion, and serving your master didn't start today, how can you be so surprised, remember that you only look stupid like this when you drink too much, could it be that you took advantage of Quan Huan's efforts to steal a drink." ”
Jin Zhong's head shook like a rattle, and he closed his mouth, feeling that choosing silence at this time was the best choice, and there was nothing else but this!
It wasn't until dusk that Luan'er suddenly remembered what Rong Qingyi had entrusted her, and asked Mother Li to cook a few side dishes for Rong Qingyi, looked at the sky outside, and then looked at the meals on the table for Princess Jane and Princess Jane.
"Luan'er, go and invite the prince over for dinner. As soon as he came back, he hid in the study with Ye'er father and son and muttered, and he didn't come out until now. Princess Jane looked at herself in the mirror, and carefully brushed the hair on her sideburns, this white hair really grew like an elixir, "No matter how important the business is, you have to take care of your body, besides, the relationship between Ye'er and Qingyi has become more and more harmonious in the past few days, and Ye'er also stays in Qingyi every day, and he, who is a father-in-law, must also have an eye-eye." ”
"Yes. The slave and the maid will go. Luan'er immediately agreed.
Thinking about taking advantage of this time to talk to that Mother Li, anyway, when I went to the study, it was not too far behind Mother Li's house, and that place happened to be another corner of the courtyard, not in the same direction as the backyard where Rong Qingyi lived, but it happened to be in the same direction as the study.
Because the sky was getting darker and darker, Luan'er deliberately carried a lantern, thinking that she would go to the study to invite the prince back to come back for dinner, and she would rush to Mother Li's place before dinner, so she walked a little fast, and saw from a distance that the lanterns had been lit up in the courtyard where Mother Li and a few of their rough servants were staying, and there was faint gag chatting and laughing.
"Yo, isn't this the girl Luan'er who serves the princess?" A sharp-eyed servant saw Luan'er carrying a lantern at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to greet him with flattery, "This is a good wind blowing from somewhere, and I sent Miss Luan'er over, is there something the princess has to do or what she wants to eat?" ”
"Is Mother Li here?" Luan'er smiled and said that although this group of people was rough, they were not bad.
"In, in!" The minion immediately smiled and said, "I'm just still angry, I don't know who offended her, and when I came back, I was fine, but somehow I sulked, and the wild vegetables I got today were all thrown aside and refused to do it, or did we minions look at the freshness, and it was a pity to lose it, so we chose to wash it, and begged her to do it, knowing that the princess would take her a bite, do you want to add vegetables?" ”
"It's Master Rong who wants to taste it." Luan'er smiled slightly, "It's time to trouble Mother Li." ”
"Master Rong?" The slave was stunned at first, and then immediately smiled and said, "It's from the little boy's house, right?" I heard that the little boy has been resting in her for a few days, it is really feng shui in turn, and after ten years of being left aside, he suddenly won the love of the little boy, and now the princess is also protecting, I heard that even the queen mother is also protective, this person, it depends on luck, this master is indeed a blessing, and luck is good. Cheng, the little one went to tell Mother Li and asked her to cook a few more, although she was still angry, this meal still had to be made, and the master's instructions could not be disobeyed. ”
Luan'er thought to herself: This slave is really wordy!
But he still smiled and said: "Yes, we are slaves, we have to take care of the master's thoughts, Master Rong is a gentle person, and he is usually very polite to his subordinates, but he just wants to eat a small dish, although the princess is in pain, but it is not good to hit the princess on the table, so I have to trouble Mother Li again." ”
A voice came from inside, a little hoarse, a little unpleasant, "When did she see me?" ”
"Yo, Mother Li, you can be regarded as coming out of the house, you don't stay in the yard, everyone thinks it's not fun to tell a joke, you must not be stuffy in the house, come out and talk to everyone." The slave immediately smiled and said, stepped forward and held Li's mother's arm affectionately, "Look, Miss Luan'er, who is serving the princess, specially came to talk to you in person, so you can give face." ”
Luan'er was a little surprised, why did this Li's mother call Rong Qingyi 'her'?
This is completely out of order, and Mother Li's tone seems to be quite unhappy, as if Rong Qingyi has offended her, but, with Rong Qingyi's status, even if the two meet together and say a few words, Mother Li shouldn't have such an attitude.
