204 The Purpose of Pinyin
The side concubine is just a symbolic cloth dish, and soon Wang Jingshu ordered the maid to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, so that the side concubine could accompany her to have breakfast.
Chen Eryan couldn't shirk it, so she sat down to eat together, in fact, she had already used it, but she felt that the breakfast in the main courtyard was extraordinarily rich, "The breakfast here is really rich for the princess's master." ”
Wang Jingshu took a sip of milk, and said that she didn't say anything about eating, but now she is destined to make an exception. "It's nothing more than the small kitchen chef who makes it to our southerners' tastes, so you think it's good. If this is changed to northern cuisine, you will probably not be used to eating it no matter how delicate it is. ”
That's true. Chen Eryan smiled, "I will gradually get used to northern food." In the future, if we live in the north for a long time, we will become northerners. ”
Although they serve the same husband, the relationship between the two of them is not bad, there is no mechanism to deceive me, and some are calm. They are all in a foreign land, and they know that only their fellow villagers can help each other. But what Wang Jingshu didn't know was that Chen Eryan had no intention of being favored by the prince at all, and she vaguely intended to match the princess and princess to really bloom and blossom, so the two could really live in harmony. Similarly, what Chen Eryan didn't know was that the reason why Wang Jingshu was able to get along with her was nothing more than that she loved the house and Wu, and knew that the prince loved the side concubine, so she was willing to live in harmony with the side concubine and have no selfish heart.
This has become a secret that cannot be told in the bottom of their hearts.
Wang Jingshu smiled, but the smile in her eyes was a little more helpless, "Maybe, but I will miss everything in the south more." ”
Chen Eryan was relieved, and she was also relieved of her own heart, "Actually, whether it is the south or the north, it is always my country, so when I think about it, I don't feel far away." ”
"Sister Concubine in the back should move around often, don't always be bored in her own courtyard."
"That's natural, Sister Princess, such a good meal here, of course I have to come often." Chen Eryan's courtyard currently has no kitchen, and they all eat the same meals in the kitchen as them, and they always feel unaccustomed.
Wang Jingshu stirred the white rice porridge and lowered her head and smiled.
Immediately they were silent and ate separately.
After breakfast, Wang Jingshu left the side concubine to drink a cup of tea before she left.
As soon as the side concubine left, Caiyu was dissatisfied, "Why is the master so good to the side concubine?" She's fallen out of favor. Besides, aren't you afraid that she will threaten your position? ”
Caiyu was full of eyes with only one master, and she was afraid that the side concubine would threaten the master's status, so she never had much good impression of the side concubine.
Wang Jingshu was tired and slumped on the chaise longue, recalling what she had done last night, but she couldn't remember it even if she tried her best. This suddenly opened her mouth, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to normal, "My status is so easy to be threatened, it means that I have not done well enough, so that the prince is disgusted and wants to change to a new princess." If I'm doing well enough, what's the reason for him to want a new princess? Besides, it's so easy to change the princess? It took a lot of effort for the prince to meet the side concubine, let alone change to a new princess, how easy is it? That has to be agreed by the palace. Unless I do something that makes the emperor and queen in the palace dissatisfied, the prince can only be cold to me, and he can't touch me. ”
"If my position is threatened, anyone can threaten me. Do I have to take precautions to make it happen? Then this life is tiring enough. ”
When the side concubine was favored, she was not afraid, but now that she has fallen out of favor, she is afraid of threatening her status?
Regarding this remark, Wang Jingshu did not dare to agree.
Having said that, Ke Caiyu persuaded again: "Always be careful, who knows what she has in mind." ”
Wang Jingshu felt funny when she looked at her old-fashioned advice, and muttered softly, "I forgot to say yesterday, you and Youxiao went to check, how did the side concubine fall out of favor?" ”
He Xiaoduan handed the fruit plate to him, turned his head to look at the little maid working over there, and then spoke, "What does the master want to check this?" ”
Wang Jingshu pinched a chestnut and ate it, "I'm interested." Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you should listen to other people's stories. ”
"Okay."
Cai Yu trotted away, and she was busy inquiring.
Wang Jingshu looked at Pinyin who was sweeping in the house, and suddenly remembered something, "Now that they are all here, it's time to register the next person's register, you are in charge of this piece, register it carefully." Once decided, give their deed of sale to their respective masters. You don't have to keep it. "After a pause, "Since the prince said that he would not raise such idlers, Na Pinyin will send them to the courtyard of the side concubine to serve, and then pick a maid from her." The side concubine likes music, and I don't listen to music, if I put it here in the main courtyard, it is really useless. ”
Youxiao complimented twice, "It's the master's thoughtfulness, and the servant immediately complied." He stretched out his hand to summon Pinyin on the other end, "Come here, thank you!" ”
Ke Pinyin has her own considerations, she doesn't want to go to the side concubine. This is the main courtyard, she has the opportunity to be selected here to serve the princess, the future is limitless, and the side concubine she has fallen out of favor, what kind of situation will be in the future, "Master, the maid doesn't want to go to the side concubine, I really don't want to, the maid is willing to serve the princess." She ran to Wang Jingshu and knelt on the ground, "The maid is really willing to serve the princess and the master, and implore the princess to take back her life." ”
Wang Jingshu was not moved, "I think you have also heard that the prince does not let such idlers be raised in the palace, and there will be no musicians in the future mansion, you can only do this kind of shoddy work with me, I have a lot of maids here, so you may be a third-class maid for the rest of your life." But if you go to the side concubine, you will be reused. The side concubine loves music, as long as she is satisfied with you, she will soon be promoted to a second-class maid. ”
This is true. And it is also for the sake of Pinyin, if you want to be promoted to a second-class maid among so many maids in the main courtyard, it is not so easy, if you have the appreciation of the side concubine, it is easy to become a second-class maid, because Pinyin has her own advantages.
Pinyin felt that what the princess said was right, but the side concubine fell out of favor, which is the key...... Weighing the pros and cons, "The maid still likes to do things in the main courtyard." I implore the princess to retract her fate. ”
If such a good opportunity had been shelved, others would have agreed a long time ago. In fact, there is no difference between the maids in the main courtyard and other courtyards, it is nothing more than the different attitudes of each master towards his subordinates, some of them are rewarded, and some are harsh...... And the rank and treatment are the same, if you want to be promoted, you have to rely on your own ability and get the approval of the master.
Wang Jingshu was completely for the sake of Pinyin, and originally promised to ask her to be a musician, but now that the musician has nothing to do, she will be transferred to the side concubine, which can be regarded as 'making the best use of her talents', and Pinyin herself did not agree. She was also a little puzzled.
Xiao persuaded again, "Master, since she doesn't want to, then forget it." ”
Wang Jingshu squinted her eyes and waved her big hand, "You stand down." ”
Pinyin breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the servant retired." ”
As soon as she left, Youxiao waved away all the maids, closed the door, and secretly wanted to get down to business, "Master, I don't think Pinyin is very good, I should send her away." ”
Wang Jingshu held her forehead and opened her eyes, "What do you say?" "Look up and see again," didn't you persuade me, she didn't want to forget it, why did she have to send it away instead." "It's not more than a quarter of an hour.
"Others think it's a good thing that it will be an opportunity, but she doesn't want to, which shows that she has her own mind." You Xiaocai just didn't say it explicitly, "I'm afraid her mind is because the side concubine has fallen out of favor." Maybe she may not want to stay here, it's just that the side concubine has fallen out of favor, rather than following her with a worrying future, it is better to continue to do some vulgar work in the main courtyard. ”
"The side concubine fell out of favor, and the prince went less. If you send her somewhere else, maybe she'll say yes right away. ”
"Last time, you said that she would let her be a musician in the future, she didn't know how happy she was, and the grade of musicianship was compared to that of a second-class maid. Now you said that if you transfer her to the side concubine, it will be easy to be promoted to a second-class maid, but she doesn't agree, which shows that she has other purposes. ”
Wang Jingshu instantly understood that she said that Pinyin didn't agree to such a good opportunity, and would rather stay here than do rough work. "You say she wants to follow the old path of the Guo family?" From a maid to a princely concubine, sometimes it only takes one night.
"Maybe."
Youxiao bit her lip, "The maid thinks, she is not willing to be a maid." Last night's piano played so well, it was nothing more than an attempt to attract attention, and as for who to lead, the answer has long been unknown. ”
Wang Jingshu bowed slightly, "Don't disclose this matter, tell me to think about it again." Pinyin... Categorically not to stay. "I originally planned to give her a place to go, but now I think about it, I must not send her to the side concubine, otherwise if something really happens, wouldn't it be a separation?
"You go and prepare hot water, I want to bathe and change clothes."
I had a good night last night, and I got up early this morning and was slimy, but I didn't have time to bathe and change clothes and go back to the main courtyard, this time I endured it for so long, I really couldn't help it, I must take a bath.
Youxiao teased, "Master, is the prince still coming today?" ”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention," Wang Jingshu blushed slightly, "Go and prepare hot water!" ”
And he ran out on his feet. And Wang Jingshu simply had nothing to do, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Last night's Zhou Gongzhi was too Meng Lang, she was really tired, but she didn't remember much about the specific scene last night.
At this moment, in Guo Fengyi's courtyard, she was talking to Liu Zhaoxun very lively.
Liu Yingying is quiet, and she met Guo Yizhu, who can speak well, and she realized for the first time that this Fengyi was so lively, not as scheming as before. It turned out that I just wanted to sit and go back, but the two of them had a good chat this time, but I didn't want to go back to my yard anymore.
"Speaking of yesterday, it's really thanks to Sister Concubine Side who opened her mouth, otherwise, I would have been rude in front of the prince. You're not there, I'm really looking for a crack to drill in that scene. Guo Yizhu didn't care at all and said what happened last night, "I'm not afraid of Sister Zhaoxun's jokes, I had a quarrel with the side concubine before, but I never thought that she would open that mouth." It's a godsend. ”
I can't say anything about sending charcoal in the snow, but Liu Yingying just said, "Sister Side Concubine, it's not bad to be a person." ”
"I know that my sister's relationship with the side concubine is not bad, and I ask you to secretly match...... I'm looking for a mountain to lean on. ”
Just because Sun Liangdi didn't help her once, she was going to change people?
Liu Yingying couldn't help but wonder and smiled, this is why she invited herself to come?
