43. Listening to the Rain
Chen Xiaoxiao returned to her residence and packed the things in her room, and Wang Decai sent a maid to pick her up.
Chen Xiaoxiao, the maid who came, didn't know her, and as soon as this person came in, she saluted Chen Xiaoxiao, "I've seen Concubine Chen, and the slave maid Bai Zhi came to pick up Concubine Chen and went to Tingyu Courtyard." ”
Bai Zhi lowered her head, she secretly glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao just now, and felt that this Chen concubine looked good.
No wonder she can be directly promoted from a maid to a concubine, and she is also comparable to Feng Li's two concubines.
Chen Xiaoxiao helped her up, "Get up, don't be polite, you just said that you were listening to Yuyuan, right?" ”
The first time she was saluted, she felt awkward, and Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly felt embarrassed.
This listening to the rain courtyard is the closest place to Xuanmo Pavilion, and this maid in front of him is not mistaken.
Bai Zhi took a step back, puzzled why Chen Xiaoxiao asked so, she said, "That's right, the princess specially ordered the slaves and maids to clean it up, please let Concubine Chen go with the slaves." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, her left eye was beating non-stop, and her heart was turbulent, she followed Bai Zhi.
Just as she was about to leave, Bai Zhi took the burden in her hand, and Chen Xiaoxiao looked at her suspiciously.
Bai Zhi, "You are the master now, and these chores will be handed over to the slaves and maids." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was not comfortable, Bai Zhi took the burden and walked out, Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly lifted the corner of her skirt to catch up.
When she came to Tingmoxuan, Chen Xiaoxiao was pressed on the chair by Bai Zhi, she sat cramped on the chair, watching Bai Zhi command her subordinates to arrange things.
Occasionally, Bai Zhi would come over and ask her opinion, but whenever she wanted to help, Bai Zhi would keep a straight face and not allow her to get up.
When everything is arranged, Bai Zhi came over and called Chen Xiaoxiao to take a bath, no matter whether the prince can come over at night or not, Concubine Chen must be ready, bathe and wait for the prince.
Chen Xiaoxiao was pressed into the bath bucket by Bai Zhi, and there were red petals floating on the water, which was very beautiful, and she felt such a bathing method for the first time.
She was stunned, but fortunately, she didn't have any expression on her face, and she didn't make any big movements, so she wouldn't be laughed at.
The fragrant pancreas used is also good, which is really different from the treatment when I was a maid.
After the bath was finished, Bai Zhi asked someone to present a tray, which was filled with silver taels, "Concubine Chen, this is a reward for you, a hundred taels of silver, and some jewels and jade, you can take a look." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao looked over, and what caught her eye was the silver glittering silver, there were a total of ten large silver ingots, she touched it with her hand, and she was reluctant to put it down.
Looking at the plum blossom-shaped hosta next to it, the craftsman carved it vividly, she took a fancy to it at a glance, and said in surprise, "These are for me?" ”
Bai Zhi nodded. "Yes."
Chen Xiaoxiao boasted, "It's so good-looking." ”
Bai Zhi smiled, her face full of pride, "The things in our palace are naturally good-looking, and it is also the master that you are favored, these are all personally selected by the prince for you." ”
Judging from the fact that the prince personally selected them, their master is quite favored, so she is also willing to come to her master's side.
Not to mention that Chen Xiaoxiao really didn't know, it turned out that it was picked by the princess, she sighed, "Thank you more for another day." ”
She thought of something and asked Bai Zhi, "Can I give these jewelry to others?" ”
If she can send it, she will give this best-looking plum blossom hairpin to Qingchen, and give the rest to the princess.
Bai Zhi was embarrassed, but it was not possible to send these things, and said to her, "No, these are the royal things of the palace, and those with the unique marks of the palace cannot be given away or sold." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was a little lost, but it was also a moment, she said, "I know, I'll take it and put it in the room." ”
Bai Zhi pressed her hand, "The master doesn't have to do it himself, in the future, these things will be directly ordered to the slave and maid, don't feel embarrassed." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay." ”
Looks very well-behaved, Bai Zhi asked people to move everything to Chen Xiaoxiao's main house, and then four people came over from outside the house to salute Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Slave Chunhua."
"Slave Natsuho."
"Slave Qiuyue."
"Slave Winter Snow."
"I've seen my master!"
"Get up." Bai Zhi called, bowed her head and said to Chen Xiaoxiao, "Master, these four people will be the people who will serve you in your courtyard in the future, and you can tell them anything." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao hummed softly and sat quietly.
Bai Zhi took the plate and looked at them carefully before saying, "This is the master's reward for you, you must serve the master with all your heart and soul in the future, and you must not be lazy and slack!" ”
All the maids responded one after another, and came up in turn to get the reward, Chunhua quietly pinched the red envelope, and retreated satisfied.
Bai Zhi then said to everyone, "Okay, you guys go down, go and get busy, the master has me here." ”
"Yes." Chunhua waited for the maid to salute and then stepped back.
Finally able to rest, Chen Xiaoxiao leaned on the backrest and relaxed.
Bai Zhi asked, "Master, do you have anything to order?" ”
Chen Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "No, you go get busy first, I'll call you if you have something." ”
"Yes." Angelica Angelica withdrew.
As soon as she left, Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly stood up, walked back to her room, touched the ingots one by one, and held them in her hands happily.
She touched the plum blossom hairpin again, and found that there was a black mark on these jewelry, which must be the mark that Bai Zhi said.
Every piece of jewelry has such a mark on it, but unfortunately, if there are no these marks, she can not only give this plum blossom hairpin to Qingchen, but also sell the rest for silver taels and hide it.
Speaking of hiding, Chen Xiaoxiao remembered, she picked up the ingots, checked the door again, and made sure that it was locked, before holding up the entire tray and entering the space.
Speaking of her space, it was really big, she wrapped the ingots in a cloth and put them in the corner, and only came out after doing all this.
Before the prince came, she couldn't have dinner, she sat down in the lobby, ate mung bean cake, and used it to cushion her stomach.
Taking another sip of tea, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't drink too much good tea, and the only time she drank it was at Chen Qingchen's house, so she just took a sip.
This tea has a faint fragrance, slightly bitter, but very thirst-quenching, and it is very good for her now.
Chen Xiaoxiao waited for Murong Sheng all the time, and when she waited until night, she didn't see him coming, seeing that the dishes on the table were cold, and there was no one in sight.
She looked at Bai Zhi with a blank eye, "I don't think the prince will come, why don't I eat first?" ”
Bai Zhi disagreed, she said, "The slave maid went to the front to inquire, master, don't worry." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao watched her leave, her heart was stuffed, the prince would not come, he said that he would not touch her, and naturally he would not come to sleep with her.
She only hoped that Bai Zhi would hurry up and come back after reading it and let her eat.
Bai Zhi lit the lamp and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
Chunhua walked over and said in a low voice, "Sister Bai Zhi, the prince has already rested at the princess's place, and he just sent someone to come." ”
