069: Leisure
Shen Niannian, as the prince, carefully instructed the distinguished guests to be entertained well, and Steward Yun did not dare to be a little lazy.
Otherwise, he would not listen to the prince's orders, and the two of them would be transferred over to serve.
Unexpectedly, this distinguished guest was not satisfied with his arrangement.
Steward Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile on his face to the two little girls who were crying but did not shed any tears, "Since Miss Shen doesn't like them to serve, then the slave will send you two more maids." ”
Shen Niannian nodded, she lives here now, and it is inconvenient for everyone under her to serve her, but the virtue of this maid can no longer be like red plums and green willows.
"As long as you don't look down on me like these two evil minions, I don't care who Steward Yun arranges, it's just Steward Yun, I'm also a distinguished guest arranged here by my cousin, and these two maids are even more vigorous than sitting on the master's house.
It's also a shame that I don't want to deal with them, if other distinguished guests come in the future, these two people are still unwilling to serve, doesn't this make your master hold a grudge? The corners of Shen Niannian's mouth were slightly hooked, and he didn't look at the red plum and green willow's face that instantly turned pale, and said indifferently, "The servants in the house still have to teach well, and it's not a good thing to climb on the master's head." ”
When Steward Yun heard this, for some reason, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly nodded in response, and then put on a straight face, his eyes glared like red plums and green willows as if he was going to eat people, "From today on, you will go to the night room to wash the night pot, when will you correct the delicate energy on your body, and when will you go back!" ”
In the end, he was afraid that these two people were the maids who served by the prince's side, and Steward Yun didn't dare to punish him too deeply.
It's just that Shen Niannian heard his cousin, but the people present had other thoughts.
Processed red plum and green willow. brought back two well-behaved maids and told them to go down to cook, and Shen Niannian sat at the table and drank hot tea.
A pot of Biluochun, but I haven't tasted it for a long time, Shen Niannian sat by the window, looking at the blooming red plums outside. But he was stunned.
Did the eldest cousin guess the secret on her. She didn't know, but the one named Lan Yuwen obviously had a seven-point certainty.
What surprised her. King Ling turned out to be the Abu she saved back then, thinking of that time, the rare and leisurely days of the two, she couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Even the concubine of the Hou Mansion back then, Miss Shen Ningshuang. can't be the wife of the famous His Royal Highness King Ling, let alone her current background is just an ordinary country girl.
If it weren't for such an adventure. She was afraid that she would never see Abu again for the rest of her life.
As for what the man said about guarding himself like jade for more than ten years, Shen Niannian didn't dare to think about it.
Now she has only one thought, and that is to return to her father's side.
She is her father's favorite daughter-in-law, but the Yun family released the news of her death a while ago. I don't know what my father will be sad about?
I still remember that back then, she just fell and was almost supported by her father and eldest brother. If you know she's dead......
Shen Niannian couldn't help but reddened his eyes, staring at the delicate red plums outside the house. I couldn't help but worry.
However, it will take at least some time for the prince to send someone to deliver the letter, and she will have to endure it for the time being.
After dinner, Shen Niannian lay down early and went to sleep.
What happened today made her heart gradually let go of the heart she had brought up for a while, and she was finally able to rest well.
I woke up at noon on the second day.
When she opened her eyes and looked at the delicate bed curtains, she hadn't come back to her senses for a while.
It wasn't until I heard the sound of the maid pushing the door that I remembered that I was in the county office.
"Miss, are you awake? The slave has already fetched water, do you want to wipe your face first? The little maid greeted cautiously, obviously having heard about her changing maid yesterday.
These little maids are no better than the red plum and green willow who serve the prince closely, if something goes wrong, it is not a simple punishment to wash the night pot.
Therefore, when serving Shen Niannian, he was also very attentive.
It wasn't until Shen Niannian nodded that Xiangyue carefully handed her the handkerchief dipped in hot water.
After Shen Niannian washed, he had breakfast again.
Whether it was yesterday's dinner or today's breakfast, although it was not as good as what she used in the Hou Mansion before she was out of the cabinet, it was a rare delicacy at this border.
With food in her stomach, her mood gradually improved, and she stayed here here without anything, so she thought about going out for a walk.
"Do you have a face towel, I need to cover my face and go out of the house later."
Shen Niannian asked Xiangyue softly, but this maid was flattered, nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly went to find a veil to cover her face.
Today, she is wearing a dark aqua blue coat, because the weather is still cold, Du Shengnian also specially prepared a pair of animal skin jackets for her, which is a white wolf skin, which is rare even at the border.
Wearing a pair of embroidered cotton shoes, Shen Niannian held the stove again, and then went out with Xiangyue.
The two maids brought back yesterday are one named Xiangyue and the other is called Vanilla, both of them are very well-behaved, without Shen Niannian to speak, they will not take the initiative to speak, and their performance is decent, but people can't find faults.
Shen Niannian is also very satisfied with the two of them, she doesn't need a noisy girl, and she doesn't need a low-looking maid like a red plum and green willow.
"Xiangyue, are you familiar with this city?"
Shen Niannian walked out of the county office and looked curiously at the people coming and going on the street outside.
In her eyes, the border city is a very peculiar place, whether it is the people of the Eastern Yi Dynasty or the people of Fanbanghu, they get along very naturally here, and there will be no rejection.
Xiangyue and Vanilla are also difficult to go out of the house, and their hearts are naturally happy, and when they heard the master's question, they immediately explained diligently, "Girl, our border city is the most prosperous of the border cities, and some of the gadgets and snacks sold by those people from other countries abroad can be liked by our people, if you are interested, how about the two slaves and maids take you to take a look?" ”
Shen Niannian couldn't see the excitement in the eyes of these two little girls, but it was also in line with her wishes, so she smiled. "Cheng, I haven't visited this place carefully yet, if you know what is interesting, take me around."
Xiangyue and Vanilla immediately responded happily and hurriedly took her to Dongshi.
Shen Niannian was going to buy a few suitable clothes for himself when he was shopping today, although his eldest cousin ordered his subordinates to send a few clothes yesterday, but how to fit. It's also uncomfortable to wear.
It just so happens that now she is not worried that her secret will be discovered. There is no longer a need to look around like headless flies looking for my father's whereabouts, so I have plenty of money, although a few hundred taels is not much. But it's easy to put a few good clothes at the border.
Except for the occasional soldiers patrolling the realm on the street, it was not like what she looked at the day before yesterday, it was very lively.
Shen Niannian has a lot of money, so naturally he is not stingy.
There is Xiangyue, a local with him. Shen Niannian has visited a lot of places.
"Girl, this is a goat's milk cake. It's delicious, you buy some and try it, you will definitely like it. ”
At this time, the three masters and servants were in front of a dim sum shop.
The shopkeeper was unusually tall. It looks like a foreigner, but his face is very warm, greeting customers who come to buy snacks.
The storefront is not huge. But there are many people who buy dim sum.
Shen Niannian and Xiangyue finally squeezed in front of the shop, this kind of person is crowded. The lively scene of shopping made her very novel, obviously the first time she experienced it.
Shen Niannian looked at the various exquisite pastries placed outside the shop, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
The milky white goat's milk paste is made into the shape of a flower, which is lifelike when you look at it, and it also exudes heat.
There is also the translucent cherry blossom jelly, and the crystal clear pastry has a real cherry blossom blooming inside, which makes people like it just by looking at it.
Another example is the unknown pastry with a lilac appearance, which can be smelled with a strong sense of consciousness, although the shape is simpler than other pastries, but it is the most appetizing.
There are more than a dozen kinds of pastries, and Shen Niannian has never seen them before.
She opened a pair of big eyes, looked back and forth curiously on the various pastries, looked back and noticed that Xiangyue and Vanilla looked greedy, suddenly smiled, took out two taels of silver and said to Xiao Er, who was selling pastries, "Three pieces of each pastry." ”
Xiao Er took the silver neatly, wrapped the pastry for Mali, respectfully handed it to Shen Niannian, and said with a smile, "The girl should be the first time to buy snacks from us, right?" We have new pastries every day, so if you're happy to eat them, you'll be able to come back more often in the future. ”
Shen Niannian laughed and said, "If it's really delicious, I'll definitely come often." ”
Outsiders could only see her bright eyes bent into a bright moon, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, which was incredibly beautiful.
The little second brother's dark and thin face couldn't help but flush a little, and his eyes fell on the veil she was wearing, a little regrettable, I couldn't see the true face of this girl.
At this time, Xiangyue was already holding the pastry, and the three of them squeezed out of the shop again.
Shen Niannian looked at the crowded appearance, couldn't help but wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, and said with a smile, "The business here is so good, it almost squeezed me to death." ”
Vanilla was shy, and when she heard this, she smiled shyly, and said, "Girl, don't you know that the dim sum here is famous for being delicious at the border, and many people from other places have come all the way to buy it and give it away." ”
Shen Niannian also smiled, took out the goat milk cake and tasted it, it melted in the mouth, but there was no fishy smell of goat milk, but the milk flavor was very strong, the sweetness was appropriate, and it didn't make people feel greasy when eating.
It's even better than the sweets in Kyoto.
Xiangyue and Vanilla watched her eat the milk cake with blank eyes, and their eyes were almost glued to it.
But without the permission of their masters, they did not dare to ask for pastries.
Shen Niannian deliberately finished eating the pastries in front of the two of them, looked at their pitiful appearance, and burst out laughing, "Look at your appearance, put away the pastries first, and when we go back, we will give each of you a piece." ”
When Xiangyue Vanilla heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, girl, thank you!" ”
Shen Niannian nodded, "No need to thank you, as long as you serve with your heart, I won't embarrass you, I'm not a ghost, so what are you afraid of me doing?" ”
Vanilla listened to the tips of her ears and turned red, lowered her head and couldn't help but explain, "The girl has a good heart, and she blames the slaves for their soft ears, and thinks you are ......."
Although the words were not spoken, Shen Niannian could probably guess it, but he just smiled and waved his hand indifferently, "Come on, the girl is in a good mood today, let's continue shopping, don't think about those messy things, you can accompany me to pick out some clothes and jewelry first." ”
Xiangyue Vanilla responded with a smile, and took her to several other shops, all of which were good stores on the border, and the things sold were naturally of the best quality.
Shen Niannian first picked out a few changes of clothes, and then picked out a few simple pieces of jewelry, and then picked a beaded flower and a silver hairpin for Xiangyue and Vanilla to reward them.
Only then did he take the two back with satisfaction.
It's just that as soon as I returned to the house, I saw a woman dressed in fancy clothes, but obviously not yet in time, walking towards her surrounded by several handsome maids.
"Huh? Who are you, and how did you get to the prince's mansion? ”
The woman was wearing a light blue cotton jacket skirt, delicate fabrics, and a few heavy golden hairpins on her head, which made people sure that she had a lot of family background.
Shen Niannian looked at Xiangyue and motioned for her to introduce.
Xiangyue hurriedly said, "Girl, this is Miss Liu, the daughter of Lord Liu's mansion, and she often comes to our mansion to chat with Miss Lin. ”
Although the words were not spoken, Shen Niannian could probably guess it, but he just smiled and waved his hand indifferently, "Come on, the girl is in a good mood today, let's continue shopping, don't think about those messy things, you can accompany me to pick out some clothes and jewelry first." ”
Xiangyue Vanilla responded with a smile, and took her to several other shops, all of which were good stores on the border, and the things sold were naturally of the best quality.
