Chapter 209: The Arrival of the Soldier (Part II)
The gentleness of that day is to exhaust their physical strength, and the two of them are dripping and happy in the clouds and rain, and it seems that under the strong friendship, the two of them have intentionally skimmed off the special atmosphere of this time, only thinking about those happy things, and they can also experience the ultimate joy and enjoyment for a while.
Early the next morning, Shen Bin set off to guard outside the palace, and the princess's mansion only sent the three young masters to Nanjing in a hurry, and Ying Shu personally summoned the slaves and maids who served: "You all know the situation in the capital now." If...... If it is really unfortunate, the day the city is broken, it will be dangerous. I and the eldest princess and the eldest grandmother will enter the palace tomorrow to accompany all of you, vowing to coexist with the great Xin. If you feel that it is dangerous, you can flee by yourself, and the eldest princess will be rewarded with a silver ingot, which can be regarded as a recognition of your years in the princess's mansion. If you want to stay in the princess's mansion, the princess's soldiers will do their best to protect you. But ......"
The people who can establish a foothold in the princess's mansion are all people with years of experience, and they all understand the meaning of Ying Shu's words, and they can know the consequences they may face without Ying Shu mentioning it, so naturally Ying Shu does not need to go deeper.
Those slaves and maids looked at each other, and there was a calculation in their eyes, and they were all contemplative choices.
"No matter what you choose, I won't blame you, and the princess's mansion is grateful to you." Yingshu stood under the porch, looking at everyone condescendingly.
"Don't worry, it's your own choice, and I respect you." Ying Shu emphasized again.
The people below discussed again, and in the end, a few of them were the most courageous, first stood up, and then timidly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Second grandmother, there are still old and young in the slave family, and you are brave...... Dare ......"
Ying Shu smiled kindly: "This little brother hurry up, Xiangli, quickly get a silver ingot." ”
Xiangli agreed, and also stepped forward very kindly and handed the little brother a piece of silver.
"Grandma."
Seeing that the first person successfully benefited from the second grandmother, the remaining few were ready to move, and finally stepped forward one after another, Yingshu kindly ordered Xiangli to give them a few pieces of silver and teach them to make a living.
Most of the remaining people firmly stated: "The slave and maid are willing to live and die with the princess's mansion, and they have no two hearts." ”
Ying Shu was a little shocked in her heart, but also a little moved, it seemed that her tears were getting lower and lower, so she personally helped up those slaves and maids one by one, and said very movingly: "You are all benefactors of the princess's mansion, and when this catastrophe passes, the mother will be grateful to everyone." ”
After placing everyone properly, Yingshu commanded everyone to clean up the property in the princess's mansion, and there are many treasures in the princess's mansion, all of which are put into the basement by people close to her.
Then, there are pears, apricots, green plums, peaches, Jiawen, Xintong and other wedding maids and the way of Zhang's mother.
I don't know if it's because of her outstanding personality charm, or because Mrs. Wang teaches her subordinates extremely well, these close maids all said that they want to follow Yingshu firmly and have no second thoughts.
It's just that Mother Zhang is an older elder, Yingshu was embarrassed to ask Mother Zhang to take risks, so she asked most cautiously: "Mother Zhang, it's okay for others, it's just you...... You're like my mom, I'm so embarrassed......"
Zhang's mother said very firmly: "Girl, what are these words, to say something arrogant, don't I love the girl as my own daughter?" Besides, the girl doesn't want me to accompany the old woman to drive her home, but my old lady is by the old lady's side, and she must accompany the old lady, so I am hiding, where can I hide? It's just staying with your loved ones. ”
Yingshu was very moved, but she was still very worried about Zhang's mother, and always felt embarrassed to teach such an old person to work hard, and finally after the resignation, Zhang's mother said that as long as Yingshu was asked to put herself back in Wang's house, she could be with Zhang Laolao, and if she could spend it safely this time, she would come back to accompany Yingshu in a while.
Only then did Ying Shu feel a little relieved. The remaining pear and apricot are all carefully selected by Mrs. Wang to serve by her side, most of them are fatherless and motherless people who were bought into the Wang family since childhood, and they are also considered to have grown up with Yingshu, but they have nothing to worry about, but they have been close to Yingshu since childhood, and then after the old lady has been trained by one hand, they are all upright people of Zhou, but they all said in unison that they want to stay by Yingshu's side and not leave.
"We all grew up with the girl since childhood, even if the girl drove us away, we definitely didn't leave. Besides, we have nothing to worry about, and we have been used to living such a decent life with girls since we were children, even if we run away, we don't know how to live. ”
"Okay," Ying Shu felt moved again, "thank you." "These people will act as Zhaorong Cai concubines in the princess's honor guard at that time, and they will enter the palace together at that time, which can be regarded as full of love and dignity.
After that, it was to wait until the morning of the second day, everyone followed the eldest princess into the palace, according to the meaning of the eldest princess, this time the palace is a permanent residence, either wait until the enemy retreats, or wait until the worst result, so the eldest princess asked Ying Shu and Jin to think clearly, you can choose to go back to your parents' house, and you can choose to enter the palace together.
This pair of concubines is not from a scholarly family, and the furrows in their hearts are naturally clear, and the upbringing and pride of Yingshu and the Jin family can't do such a thing as going back to their parents' house for refuge. Moreover, the eldest sister Yingshu is the queen of the middle palace, and the grandmother of the Jin family is the concubine of Yingxian Jin, both of them have relatives in the palace, so they will naturally choose to accompany them in the palace.
"Girl, the corolla coat and the drape are ready, and we will put them on for you tomorrow morning." Xiangli made the bed and signaled that Yingshu could sleep peacefully.
Ying Shu just finished combing her hair, and walked to the bedside, but she didn't go up to her dreams, and finally stretched out her hand: "That's it, don't sleep, Xiangli, dress up for me." ”
Xiangli looked at Ying Shu in a daze, and finally sighed and stepped forward to help Ying Shu dress up, and dress up luxuriously and generously according to her identity.
Mopping the floor coat Xia Wei, Zhai bird flower crown, red makeup and pink delicacy, Hua Tian pick cards, the dress of an hour is the grand dress that a high-class lady should have.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, after years have passed, he has naturally matured a lot under the portrayal of the years. Ying Shu was suddenly startled, and found that she didn't know when she had become very accustomed to her face and body. In the past, I would occasionally think of the appearance of Wang Miaomiao in modern times, but now, the appearance of Wang Miaomiao in my memory is getting weaker and fainter......
It's like you've been here since the beginning.
But it's obviously not from here.
It's been a long time since I've dressed up like this, and now I'm not dressed up like I thought I was old when I was young, but now I feel that such a valuable thing is very good-looking.
Thinking about it, I thought of the day I got married, and it was probably the same outfit, but there was a slight difference in grade.
I thought of the hairpin boy in a big red round-necked robe, with a very good-looking smile, as if he wanted to weave a warm spring for himself.
In fact, he did.
"Xiangli, you said, Shen Bin is now in the army, is he very cold and tired." Ying Shu leaned helplessly against Xiangli's side.
Xiangli shook her head, "The slave doesn't know." It's just that the slave knows that my uncle is the best man in this big man, and the country is in front, no matter how hard he works, his heart is sweet. ”
Ying Shu deliberately sneered: "Not necessarily, I see that the eldest brother is also an excellent man, no worse than Shen Bin." ”
Xiangli said very sincerely: "That's the girl herself is confused, and the uncle is the best man in the grandmother's heart." For you, the best man can only be your uncle, right? ”
Ying Shu still had a hard mouth: "That...... Brother Chengqi is also good. Also, Uncle Fa Sheng is the best man in the world. ”
Xiangli rolled her eyes and said in disgust: "Aren't they all beautiful women with their own characteristics, girl, you are thinking about your uncle, why don't you admit it!" ”
"You ......"
At this moment, Apricot walked over, holding a plate of roasted chestnuts in her hand, "Freshly roasted, eat it while it's hot." ”
After that, the master and servant all sat on the bed, picked up chestnuts, and took a deck of leaf cards, and they played around regardless of dignity and inferiority.
Just like when I was a child, happy and wanton days.
A few people were making a fuss, but they heard the sound of commotion outside, and when Apricot saw it, it was Qingmei who came to report. Qingmei only hurriedly said: "Girl, the mothers of those guards in the basement are actually stolen by the guards!" When I found out, they were taking a pile of gold and silver treasures and trying to get out of the dog hole at the west side door! ”
Ying Shu's heart moved, so she hurried over, and asked as she walked, "Does the eldest princess know?" ”
Qingmei replied: "The eldest princess wants to be asleep, but the basement is close to us and the Cunxin Palace, so chaotic, Niangniang thinks she has been woken up." ”
"Let's go and see first, everyone is tied up."
"Yes."
In front of the Guanwen Hall where the basement is located, there are three old mothers who are tied up and kneeling on the ground, and when they see Yingshu coming, they cry and shout: "Grandma, grandma spare your life!" ”
Qingmei stepped forward and pointed to a few bags on the ground, which were all soft gold and silver of the top treasures in the princess's mansion, and then looked carefully, among them were some relics left by the concubine Chunxi and Empress Xiaorenjing.
Ying Shudang was even furious, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Even the property of the princess's mansion dares to steal, not to mention the old belongings of the two grandmothers! Ying Shu ordered someone to hold a torch to shine a light on the faces of the three mothers, but she was even more shocked: "Aren't you all the people brought by the eldest princess from the palace?" At the beginning, the eldest princess asked you if you could walk, but you all said that you would follow the eldest princess to the death, why is this the case now? ”
"Slave maid...... Slave maid ......" One of the mothers was a little bold, and said hesitantly: "Slaves and maids...... After thinking about it, I was still scared, it was really ...... If the white department comes in, there are still children in the slaves' families, and they can't bear it! ”
"yes!" The other two mothers chimed in.
