Chapter 101: Eyeliner (Three Watches)
At dinner, Shuilian made up a gap and whispered a word in Chen Wenhui's ear, Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Did it happen until today?" Which one is it? ”
Shuilian said, "It's the older one." The name is Akiko. She was born as a slave and maid of the Japanese country, her appearance and talent are very good, and she is the first in every assessment in the house. There are several younger siblings in the family, all of whom she took out loans from the bank and bought them back from the Wa Kingdom. Now several children have been sent to the school by the housekeeper in our house. However, Akiko also owes a large amount of debt. She worked hard to make money, and tried her best to be the first in every assessment, but only a third of it was repaid. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
It just so happened that Zhao Chongyi was not in the house at this time, but was guarding outside, so she said to Shui Lian: "It's good to have younger brothers and sisters in Qingchun City, it's easy to control." I still say the same thing, and the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different. Even if the people of the Japanese kingdom are obedient, we cannot take it lightly. You have to send a message to the house, control Akiko's younger siblings, choose a good class for them, or let them learn a specialty. In this way, Akiko must work harder. Also, you find an opportunity to instruct Mingzi to serve the son of Mu Li and try to get the favor of the son of Mu Li. Also, if there is any news, you must report it as soon as possible. ”
"By the way, give her two sets of beautiful clothes, some fine rouge gouache, and two silver hairpins. After all, people depend on their clothes. However, at this time, it is not good to wear those red and willow green things, you can only use silverware, and it is not too little to reward two silver hairpins. Add a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver earrings. Well, add five taels of silver. ”
Shui Lian hurriedly came down and said with a smile: "This dress is not good for rewarding those red and green clothes, right?" But it's not good to use all white. It is better to reward one pale cyan and one moon white. ”
Chen Wenhui looked at the light blue shirt she was wearing and said, "Okay, at this time, everyone can only do this." ”
Water Lotus laughed.
When Akiko got these things, she was very happy. Those clothes and jewelry were fine, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the five taels of silver. Shuilian saw it in her eyes, although she was a little ashamed in her heart. But there was nothing on his face. Instead, he gently encouraged Mingzi, and by the way, he also asked about Mingzi's younger siblings.
Mingzi immediately looked grateful to Dade and expressed her loyalty, and Shuilian went back satisfied.
Akiko took her things back to the small cabin where she lived. First he hid the five taels of silver in a sturdy manner. Then put the jewelry in the clip. There are also some scattered silk flowers and the like. Hang up your clothes again. Thinking about it, I still feel like wearing the pale cyan clothes I just gave.
Although the color of this dress is light, it is made of materials. The light embroidery on it looks much stronger than the service of the maid in the house that Mingzi usually wears.
After getting dressed, she opened the makeup clip again, looked at the bronze mirror, and began to comb her makeup. With the newly rewarded fat powder, it is really light and smooth, and the self in the mirror is obviously more beautiful.
Looking at the flower-like face in the mirror, Akiko pondered. Although the water lotus girl didn't mention anything, the meaning revealed in her words, as well as the things and silver that had been rewarded, should be that the matter between her and Mu Li Gongzi had been known to the county lord.
At that time, although the city lord Chen Wenhui did not have a husband, the grandmother in the house taught these maids in the house not to try to climb the master's bed. This master includes all the male hosts, such as the father of the city lord, his brothers, the husband of the future city lord, and the son of the future city lord.
Once this is violated, what awaits you will be an extremely tragic end. It's not easy to die.
At that time, Mama said that our house is different from other houses. In other houses, if the maid can climb up to the male host, or the male master in the house, then once the bed is successfully climbed, even if the housewife is disgusted, she will have to admit someone to the door in order to take care of the reputation of virtue. The good one is an aunt, and the bad one is a room. This can be regarded as a success, and there is no bed crawling in vain. However, this mansion is a woman's mansion, and the lord of the city is a girl, so she is not the master's mother, she is the master. There is only one end to climb the bed and annoy the master, and that is death.
Because the city lord doesn't have to care about anyone, including the emperor of Great Chu.
Mama often preaches about these things, so Mingzi remembers them firmly. However, the grandmother in the house also said that in addition to teaching skills and rules, in addition to teaching skills and rules, the grandmother in the house also said that this is for future guests.
Therefore, Akiko also knows her fate, and in the future, it should be used by the lord of the city to reward people, or to make friends. However, there is one thing that must be remembered, that is, you can't touch the host.
This time she went to sea, and she met Chen Wenhui's husband for the first time, the future male host of Nanyang. In the past few days of sailing on the sea, through chatting with Mu Li, she also knew more or less why, the city lord did not return to Dachu from the land, but chose the time-consuming and long-distance sea.
It's because of the so-called princess of Southern Xinjiang that she shouldn't have moved her mind about the male host. Of course, the reason why Mu Li Gongzi is on this ship is also because of this. To wipe the ass of that stupid princess.
Even the princess of Southern Xinjiang dared to think that her male host would end up so miserable, and she wanted the whole of Southern Xinjiang to carry it for her, not to mention that she was a helpless maid.
Therefore, Mingzi was not interested in Zhao Chongyi at all. After being given to Muli, she understood that this was the city lord who was going to give her to Muli.
She waited until today, when Muli asked for her. However, the city lord knew so quickly. And I sent these things. What does that mean?
Do you think you're doing it right? But what did Sister Shuilian mean by what she said just now? If she wants to get the favor of Mu Li Gongzi and report something in time, doesn't this mean that she should be the eyeliner lying in ambush beside Mu Li Gongzi?
And these rewards, in addition to these rouge gouache, clothes and jewelry, she also gave an extra five taels of silver, which is equal to her five months' wages. It is a great reward. So what else does this mean? It must have been the lord of the city who knew about her debts. Therefore, practical silver was deliberately given.
The most important thing is that Sister Shuilian specifically mentioned her younger brothers and sisters in Qingchun City, what does this mean? This means that he has a handle in the hands of the city lord, don't betray, do things well, if there is merit, the city lord will not hesitate to reward, if you don't do things well, not only will you not be rewarded, but your younger brothers and sisters in Qingchun City will also be unlucky.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Akiko's back.
Just then, the door opened, and it was Gardenia who came in. When she saw the decorated Akiko, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister Akiko, why are you dressed up so well today?" Where did this dress come from? How come I haven't seen it? ”
Mingzi cleaned up his mood and said casually: "This is Sister Shuilian just now, saying that I serve my son very wholeheartedly, so the clothes and jewelry as a reward are also fat powder." I told Sister Shuilian, Gardenia is also very dedicated, she said, I know, I will reward you next time. It's just that you have to be more diligent in doing things. ”
Gardenia sticks out her little tongue.
Mingzi smiled slightly and said, "The clothes and jewelry rewarded by the city lord are all registered. I can't give it to you, but this set of rouge gouache brought by Sister Shuilian is good. I just used it, and it turned out to be even better than what we had seen the grandmothers use before. Shall we use this together? ”
Gardenia suddenly became happy, and hurriedly asked Akiko to put on a light makeup for her, and then, the two of them happily went to wait for Muli to drink tea.
In the next few days, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were in love, and Mu Li and Mingzi were also having fun. These two pairs of people, in addition to doing sports, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi will often find Mu Li to eat and chat together. The time passed quickly. The relationship between Mu Li and Chen Wenhui is also getting more and more harmonious.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Shanghai City.
As soon as he arrived at the dock, he was shocked by the prosperity of the dock. It's just so bustling. The sea is really set up by a thousand sails, like a deep forest on the sea. People come and go on the dock, carrying goods. Some were moved off the ship, some were moved to the ship, although it was lively, but it was well organized, and if you looked closely, there were uniformed managers in management. The ships entered the harbor in an orderly manner, unloading and loading the goods.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chongyi was also shocked. He came here for the first time, and he couldn't help but be very proud, this matter of sea trade, in fact, has his contribution, and it is also the idea of his friend the current emperor, and his wife Chen Wenhui built it here.
Zhao Chongyi happily got off the boat with Chen Wenhui and Mu Li.
There was already a group of people waiting under the boat. are all high-ranking officials in Shanghai City, among them, the city lord of Shanghai City is an acquaintance, Ma Mingsong. Princess Lichuan and his wife were originally in Shanghai City, because they followed Chen Wenhui's suggestion and returned the shares of Shanghai City to the emperor, and received the development support of Nanyang Siam, so they went to Nanyang, and the emperor appointed Ma Mingsong, who was very familiar with the construction of Shanghai City, to be the lord of Shanghai City. Of course, now Ma Mingsong also deserves it.
He is the eldest son of the elder brother of the previous emperor and the father of the current emperor's concubine, and has always been close to the royal family and extremely loyal. What's more, when Shanghai City was built, it was Princess Lichuan and her husband, Chen Wenhui brothers and sisters, and Ma Mingsong together. So, there is no better candidate than him.
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi and Ma Mingsong are very familiar with each other, and they are very happy to meet. (To be continued......)
