Cui Ping folded her hands in front of her abdomen, lowered her head, and owed a debt.

"I'm disappointed Miss, it's Steward Zhao who is here, and the slave maid is here to spread the word, I wonder if Miss will meet you now?"

"Steward Zhao? What did he come to do? Qin Wanyi was puzzled.

The slave saw a woman behind him. Cuiping's few words have already made Qin Wanyi think of something, it seems that she was an old mother who was ordered by Qin Zheng to add to the yard.

"Let them just come in." Qin Wanyi sat up and waited there.

The nurse's room was smaller, so she could see the two of them coming in through the door.

Walking in front is Steward Zhao, less than forty years old, slightly arched his body, this is a posture that he is used to in front of his master, and he is set unconsciously, Xu is often following Qin Zheng to go out, his skin looks a little darker, but he looks more vigorous, and his legs and feet are very neat.

Behind him was the woman Cui Ping had mentioned, about forty years old, dressed ordinarily, but with a shiny face, a fat body, two layers of fat on her waist, and a burden hanging from the crook of her arm. Her expression seemed a little reluctant, her upper lip was pursed up, very disdainful, and she walked procrastinatingly.

After Steward Zhao entered the house, he first saluted Qin Wanyi before explaining his intentions: "Eldest Miss, the old slave was ordered by the old man to ask the second lady and transfer one person over to serve the eldest lady and the third lady. ”

The transfer of personnel in the house is an internal matter, and it must be arranged by the Zhang family, but she forgot that there is still this matter.

"Where did you serve?" For the people whom the Zhang family agreed to transfer, Qin Wanyi naturally had to use them carefully, and if there was danger, he would rather not.

"Miss Hui, Sister-in-law Guo is helping in the kitchen." Steward Zhao replied, there is no disrespect, it stands to reason that she is now out of favor, everyone is avoiding her, and I think Steward Zhao also knows about the crown princess, so he also takes care of her. However, listening to Qin Zheng's tone, he shouldn't have told the third party yet. Then, that is to say, Steward Zhao is the same to everyone. It seems that the best person is Steward Zhao. Since I don't know if she will fall out of favor or be favored, as long as she does her duty, who knows how she will turn over in the future.

"Kitchen? What a great place! "Although the Xiangfu meal is not as large as the emperor's concubine in the palace, there are a lot of chickens, ducks and fish. Qin Zheng is now accompanied by only one Zhang family, there are no children at the bottom, only three daughters, and the two sisters ate in the yard again, and the remaining three people, how much food can they eat, it is conceivable that there must be a lot of leftovers. The things that the master of the Xiangfu couldn't eat should have been thrown away, but in the kitchen, who would care, and the people in the kitchen could pack it up and take it back, no wonder the waist fat and thick shoulders of the food.

"Miss, if you have no opinion, Sister-in-law Guo will serve here in the future?" Steward Zhao bowed down and waited for the results.

"There's no hurry." Qin Wanyi raised his palms and asked Steward Zhao not to speak, "Aunt Guo, I'm thirsty, I ask you to go to the kitchen to make a cup of water and bring it, and by the way, bring a cup of tea to Steward Zhao." ”

"Tea? How do I get to do this kind of thing? Isn't it all about the maid? Guo Shi glanced at Cuiping who was standing on the side, and muttered, the voice was not light or heavy, just enough for everyone in the room to hear.

"Ahem...... Steward Zhao coughed lightly and glanced at him obliquely, Guo closed his mouth, but he was still humming, Steward Zhao said in a stiff voice, "You are a subordinate, you can do whatever the eldest lady asks you to do, where there are so many useless words." ”

"That's right, how dare you bother Aunt Guo for this kind of thing, Cuiping, don't you go make tea soon." Qin Wanyi dragged out her tone, so that people couldn't hear what she was thinking.

Guo Shi smiled slightly, as if this was just like words.

"Aunt Guo, what do you think of me here?"

Guo Shi looked around, a pair of bright eyes looked sideways, and after scanning the nurse's room in three dimensions, his face was even more disdainful, and his lips were pursed high.

"Miss, I didn't say you, how can you live in such a place with your status?" Guo Shi said it without concealing it.

"I also don't think I should live in this kind of place, at least I have to have a decent yard, and there must be at least three or four rooms in it, the main room must be large and bright, the beds should be made of fine wood, and the shelves should be full of rare treasures, silk and satin every day, and delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes......" Guo said excitedly.

"Ahem...... Steward Zhao coughed lightly, Guo Shi realized something, and smiled embarrassedly.

"What does Aunt Guo think of the kitchen? Pretty good, right? The cook there makes all kinds of delicious dishes every day, so that my father can eat satisfactorily and do well, and he can still give a reward? Qin Wanyi said with a smile, as if she was purely chatting.

"Yes, Miss, Sister Lin's cooking skills are really good." Guo said with a smile, talking about things he was interested in, and he almost forgot the purpose of coming here.

It's really a shame that the Zhang family can figure out that let this kind of person who only knows happiness come to serve, and I don't know whether to let the Guo family serve her in the future, or let her eldest lady serve the Guo family?

"Ahem...... Steward Zhao coughed a few times.

"Steward Zhao, but your throat is uncomfortable, I see that you are coughing lightly." Qin Wanyi was too lazy to discuss anything with Guo's family, Guo's mind was simple, but it was simple to eat and be lazy, Steward Zhao should be very clear to the people in the Xiangfu, since he brought the Guo family here, it was nothing more than the meaning of the Zhang family, "You are the housekeeper of the Xiangfu, where you feel uncomfortable, you should be treated as soon as possible, and the things in the Xiangfu depend on Erniang and you." ”

"The eldest lady is serious, the old slave is not in the way." Steward Zhao was also embarrassed to cough again.

"Aunt Guo, what should I do?" Qin Wanyi said helplessly, "I'm disfigured, the marriage is gone, and if I want to marry someone in the future, I may not be an official eunuch, so my father won't give me this, it's not bad if I didn't let me die, so I have to disappoint Aunt Guo." ”

"This and this ......" Guo Shi changed color at the moment and complained, "Steward Zhao, what do you say is this, serving here, I think it is better to go back to the kitchen." ”

"Let's do it, I don't want to delay Aunt Guo's future, staying here, there is no way out at all, and I don't know what Erniang thinks, sending you here to serve is really sorry for you." Qin Wanyi was full of apologies.

When Guo Shi heard this, he turned his face: "Steward Zhao, didn't you say that the eldest lady will ...... in the future"

"You go out first." Steward Zhao didn't want to cause more trouble here, so he forcibly invited Guo, who was still chattering, out.

Finally, out of sight, at this time, Cuiping had already come in with two cups of tea.

"Miss, I'm really sorry, it's the old slave's dereliction of duty." After all, Steward Zhao is a reasonable person, Guo's lack of tendons doesn't mean that he can't understand, if he still wants Guo to stay, don't blame her for turning her face.

"It's hard to be Steward Zhao, who wouldn't do the icing on the cake, but how many people can send charcoal in the snow, this kind of thing, and a few people who are willing to come here to serve, how difficult it is, I understand." Moreover, it was not Steward Zhao who did the wrong, after all, he still had to ask the Zhang family for instructions, who was the person who made the decision, that is, not to mention, he offended Qin Jingshu, and if the Zhang family didn't use the topic to play, it would not be the Zhang family.

Qin Wanyi was reasonable and authentic, which made Steward Zhao stunned for a long time, if it was placed in the past, he would either scold or smash things to drive people away, how could he be so kind as today.

"The old slave will be carefully selected next, and nothing like this will happen again." Steward Zhao promised while compensating for the no.

"I'll choose for myself in the future, I'll come over like this, it's not bad for a few days." Steward Zhao can speak in front of Qin Zheng, Qin Wanyi still has to have a good relationship with him, like today's situation, if she has a little weight, Steward Zhao will ask Qin Zheng for instructions, and nag in his ear, Qin Zheng understands, and he will be replaced, but unfortunately he brought people directly through Zhang's, anyway, the tea also came up, so he was simply thoughtful, "Steward Zhao sits down and talks, Cuiping, serve tea." ”

"Thank you, Miss." Steward Zhao didn't excuse himself and sat down.

Qin Wanyi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that there was still something to do.

"Miss, the old slave came over today, in addition to this matter, there are things to discuss with the eldest lady." Steward Zhao took out a piece of letterhead, with black and white words on it, and he didn't know what was written.

Sure enough, there was something.

"Don't dare, if there is anything, Steward Zhao said bluntly." Qin Wanyi glanced at Cui Ping, who understood and took the letter over.

"The eldest lady and the third lady will go out to worship tomorrow, the lord has given the old slave carte blanche to do it, and the old slave has listed some matters according to the master's intentions, I don't know where there are any omissions, and I ask the eldest lady to point it out." Although Steward Zhao politely took the teacup, he didn't drink it, just quietly waited for her to have anything to add.

Qin Wanyi saw that it was the nurse's business, her eyebrows were straight, and she took the letter paper, sure enough, in this dynasty, you have to rely on your identity and status to speak. The things that were just explained, Qin Zheng had already ordered them to do it.

The nurse's life was dedicated to her mother, but unfortunately, she was a subordinate and could not enter the ancestral hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the place of burial, and she was the only one alone.

Qin Wanyi glanced at the letterhead, and listed some matters in detail, including the location of the nurse's grave, the size, the burial companions, the stone tablet inscription, the white silk spirit flag, the incense candle paper, etc.

The pomp and circumstance is already very large, as if it is deliberately made to be seen, does Qin Zheng really think that the emperor and the prince will care?

"Steward Zhao, I am naturally relieved, there is no need to add anything, as for the white silk spirit flag, there is no need, it has already been buried, and there is no need to cry the grave." Qin Wanyi will not let Qin Zheng make a fuss about the nurse, he just wants to handle the funeral quietly.

"But......" Steward Zhao looked embarrassed, "this is a special order from the master." ”

"I understand Dad's intentions, but it's too much, if it is put in the time when the nurse is hastily done, maybe it still makes sense, now, the louder the movement, it will only make people accuse me of not, Dad is a thoughtful person, he should agree with me to do this, even if I don't agree, let me say, you do it according to my will first, and I will bear the consequences."

In this matter, Qin Wanyi's attitude was quite tough, and Steward Zhao had to come down first: "The old slave understands." ”

"As for the incense candle paper, I have already prepared it, and I don't need to buy it, I just hope to find a place with better feng shui for the nurse, and I hope that she will give birth to a full house of children and grandchildren in the future, and get shade, as for the inscription on the stone tablet, ......" Qin Wanyi thought about it, and she didn't know the name of the nurse on weekdays, "Cuiping, did the nurse mention it before her death, her real name?" ”

"The slave maid heard the nurse talk about it, forgive the slave maid for being disrespectful, the nurse's original name was Ding Xihua, and later the eldest lady renamed her hibiscus, and the nurse said that she liked this name very much." Cui Ping replied.

Sure enough, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is nothing that Cuiping has not heard of.

"Then engrave the tomb of the Ye family's maidservant hibiscus and stand on the moon."

Although Qin Zheng agreed to give the nurse a grand burial, he would never agree to engrave her mother's name on the stone tablet, nor would he agree to engrave her name on it with Su Yue's name, so she could only understand it herself.

"The old slave knows, so let people choose a place, carve a stone tablet, and before tomorrow, it will definitely be done for the eldest lady." Steward Zhao responded.

"There is a housekeeper Lao Zhao, tomorrow, I want to personally watch the nurse's coffin be buried, and see her for the last time." Qin Wanyi said this, they should not be cheating, and then handed him back the letterhead, "Cuiping, after you send Steward Zhao out, pass a word to Su Yue for me, it is still the first month, and the hibiscus flowers bloom from June to September, at this time, it may not be able to be picked, so let her paint a picture." ”

"Yes, miss." Cui Ping stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Steward Zhao, please come here." ”

"The old slave retired." Steward Zhao turned around and tucked the letter into his cuffs as he walked towards the door.

"Miss, you slow down, the slave can't keep up with ......"

Just as Steward Zhao stepped out of the threshold, a somewhat familiar voice came to mind outside, and when he was thinking about who it was, he had already heard a roar: "Qin Wanyi, are you inside!" ”

Steward Zhao couldn't dodge it, and was hit by a collision, and the letter paper in his hand flew down.

"Second Miss?" Steward Zhao didn't speak until he was half-loud, and after coming back to his senses, he leaned over and picked up the letter on the ground.

"Steward Zhao, why are you here?" Qin Jingshu saw the person leaning over, restrained her expression, but her face was still not good, she glanced at the letter at a glance, if it was normal, she would not care, but today it was brought out of Qin Wanyi's house, and she couldn't help asking, "What is in your hand?" ”

"Miss Hui Er, it's something about ......"

Before Steward Zhao finished speaking, Qin Jingshu had already snatched it with his hand, and when she unfolded it, she saw that it was something that a dead person wanted to use, and she felt unlucky, so she threw it back, with a look of disgust, and she couldn't avoid it.

"Who is this for?"

Steward Zhao folded the letter and put it back in his sleeve: "It's the nurse of the eldest lady and the third lady." ”

"A subordinate is so grand, who is still the prime minister's house dead?" Qin Jingshu snorted lightly, and Qin Wanyi clenched her fists silently.
