Chapter 18: Danko

"Little Seventh Sister is joking, in the future, the two of us sisters will do our best to serve Niangniang together." Zi Yu picked up the silk silk in his hand and gently covered his mouth, smiling gently.

In fact, Zi Yu is the most beautiful of the four girls in Hanxue, with fair skin, willow eyebrows, delicate lips, bright and shining eyes, tall figure, light steps, the most rare thing is that she still has that kind of calmness beyond age, if she was born in a rich family, she must be a dignified and virtuous girl.

At this time, two people came from not far away, one looked like a girl in the palace, leading the way in front of him, and the other behind was a middle-aged man wearing a silk shirt embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, with a mink trimmed shoulder and a smile on his face, and the middle-aged man was still carrying a big box in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.

The two of them walked directly to Jinhuayuan, and when they saw Gu Yue, they immediately bent down and saluted: "See the princess." ”

They may not know Gu Yue, but their identity can be determined at a glance by her gorgeous clothes and precious jewelry.

The girl lowered her head, not daring to look up at Gu Yue at all, but Gu Yue was a little interested in this girl, she saw that although this girl was standing respectfully, her body trembled a little, and she seemed to be very afraid of her.

This girl should be seeing me for the first time, why is she afraid of me?

"Look up." Gu Yue coughed lightly, then raised his chin, and his eyes pretended to be a little cold and arrogant.

Now that she has come out to prove her status, she naturally wants to show a little bit of her prestige as a princess.

The girl raised her head, but her eyes were scared, and she didn't know where to look.

"Niangniang, she is the girl of Jinhuayuan." Zi Yu whispered next to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue suddenly understood, why this girl was so afraid of herself, she was from Yuqiao, Yuqiao had just gone to Liuliyuan to make a big fuss, she was afraid that she would be angry with her girl.

I've seen this kind of thing a lot in palace fighting dramas before, and the fight between the masters will naturally lead to the fight between the slaves, and some masters will simply sprinkle their grievances on the other party's slaves.

"Oh." Gu Yue said softly, "Who is this?" "Yuqiao is a girl's house after all, her residence shouldn't allow men to enter and leave casually, right?

Before the girl could answer, the man introduced himself, "The little one is the boss of the country and Tianxiang, who brought rouge gouache to the Yuqiao girl." ”

Hearing the rouge gouache, Gu Yue naturally remembered the matter of Danko, and then said, "Have you sent Dancome over?" ”

"Yes, yes, everything, it's very ready, if the mother likes it, the small one will send some to the mother immediately." The boss nodded and said with a flattering look.

Guose Tianxiang is the most famous rouge gouache shop in the imperial city, but he doesn't do much business in the Chenwang Mansion, because in addition to the singer, the hostess here uses the tribute in the palace, it is this Yuqiao girl, he also took a lot of effort to get on the line, if the princess can see his things, wouldn't he make a living signboard for him, and then all the rich ladies and ladies in the imperial city will not flock to it?

"Take out your dancΓ΄me and show it to me?" After Gu Yue finished speaking, he gave Xiao Qi a look.

She doesn't know anything about the "cosmetics" here, and she can't tell the good or bad at all.

The boss quickly opened the box, and there were two white porcelain vases on the top layer, one was sealed with a red silk cloth, and the other was sealed with a golden silk cloth, "This bottle is a fine Danko, after smearing, as long as it is properly protected, the color is still gorgeous for ten days and half a month." ”

He first took out a porcelain vase sealed with red silk cloth, carefully removed the silk cloth, and then pulled out the wooden cork inside and handed it to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, the smell was fragrant, and he dipped it out a little with his little fingernail, and slowly applied it, and it dried out quickly.

"Niangniang, this dankou is really good, it's only slightly inferior to the one used by Niangniang." Xiao Qi pondered for a while and said, Actually, this Dankou is on par with all the Dankou in Gu Yue, but these Dankou were sent to Yuqiao, if it is honest, wouldn't it make people feel that the things used by the princess are actually the same as those of a singer? can't elevate Yuqiao and belittle Niangniang like this.

"Princess, look at this again, this is the latest style, now the palace lady may not have used it, golden dankou, which is extracted from sunflowers, it is very difficult to make a bottle, but painted with golden dankou, not only shows incomparable wealth, but also can make people's hands look particularly white......" The other bottle sealed with golden silk cloth is the focus he wants to recommend.

This is a batch of new goods that he has just brought in from other places, because the color is somewhat subversive of tradition, it has been unsalable, if it can become popular in the Chenwang Mansion, it is not a big problem to become a popular trend in the entire imperial city.

Xiao Qi also sniffed and wiped again, and finally nodded.

"Your things are not bad, this concubine also wants to try it, but this concubine has just married into the palace, and the palace has already prepared a lot of good rouge gouache for this concubine, and this concubine can't live up to the prince's wishes, so let's wait for the next time you deliver it, bring some to this concubine, in this way, it won't delay your time, I don't know how often you come to the palace?"

The boss hurriedly replied: "I will come over on the first day of the month every month, in addition to delivering goods to the Yuqiao girl, but also to all the girls in the drunken building, but every time the Yuqiao girl has finished picking, let other girls choose." ”

"Go in, there's nothing to do with you here." After speaking, Gu Yue waved his sleeves lightly and walked slowly along the path next to the courtyard wall of Jinhua Garden.

There are a lot of morning glories on the courtyard wall, and the morning glories are light purple, each of which is small and cute, gently swaying in the breeze, like a happy angel.

The sun is slanting down, these red walls and green tiles in front of you are more and more bright, the weather is warm, the breeze is blowing, the path in front of you is winding, the fragrance of flowers is faintly floating, and it is also a great pleasure to walk like this.

"Niangniang, there's a pavilion over there, let's go there and rest for a while. And there are a lot of chrysanthemums over there, now they are all blooming, in the past to enjoy the chrysanthemums is also good, slaves can also pick some back to the glass garden by the way, dried to make sachets. ”

Zi Yu pointed to the pavilion built on a hillside in front of him, and from a distance, he could see the golden chrysanthemums blooming beautifully.

"Okay, let's enjoy the scenery there, and by the way, see how patient that Jade Bridge is." Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, but the gaze in her eyes was extremely sharp.

She is a tomb robber who deals with ancient corpses, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but this jade bridge wants to hit the muzzle of the gun by herself, and she can't complain......

She has been wandering around Jinhuayuan for so long, and there is a girl from Jinhuayuan just now, and now Yuqiao should have received the news, she is afraid that Yuqiao will not come out, if she comes out, she will definitely make her look good, hehe......

Who knew that he didn't wait for Yuqiao, but waited for Manager Hu.

Not long after sitting down in the pavilion, I heard Zi Yu say, "Niangniang, look at it, Manager Hu has brought someone over." ”

Zi Yu and Xiao Qi were collecting chrysanthemums on the side, but when they straightened up, they saw Manager Hu's footsteps hurrying towards the pavilion.

Because the pavilion is on a small hillside, it has to climb more than 20 stone steps to come up, even when Gu Yue came up, it was also supported by Zi Yu and Xiao Qi.

Manager Hu didn't know if it was because he was old or in a hurry, when he came to the pavilion, he was even panting, and he couldn't even speak smoothly, so he knelt down straight in front of Gu Yue, "Small...... Attend the Princess's ...... The little one has always wanted to meet ...... Princess...... But I was afraid of disturbing the princess...... If you are slack, please ask the princess to do a lot...... Forgive me......"

Mr. Hu was wearing a silk shirt embroidered with blessing patterns, gray hair, and two mustaches, and he looked like a loyal and honest man. However, Gu Yue also understands that everything can't just look at the surface, if Manager Hu is really a loyal and honest person, then the position of the palace steward will not sit so firmly.

Chenwang's Mansion is not an ordinary mansion, and the things that need to be dealt with must be intertwined, if you don't have some skills, how can you suppress so many girls in the mansion?

Gu Yue was still sitting on the stone bench paved with silk by Xiao Qi, his head was slightly raised, and the hairpin inserted in the bun shook slightly, and the light refracted could almost blind people's eyes, and those beautiful eyes became more and more condensed.

"It turns out that Steward Hu is afraid of disturbing the concubine? I thought that Steward Hu didn't take this concubine in his eyes, and let the girl from Yuqiao do misdeeds in my Liuli Garden? A few words were unhurried, not light or heavy, but everyone could hear the reproach in the words.

Steward Hu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly explained: "Niangniang doesn't know, I only found out about the Yuqiao girl's messing around in Liuliyuan after the fact, if I had known earlier, I would definitely try my best to stop it." After I knew, what I immediately thought of was remedy, even if the mother didn't send a message, I would also order someone to restore the glass garden to its original state as soon as possible, it stands to reason that today's thing is that the Yuqiao girl is wrong, but the Yuqiao girl is the prince's person, even if I want to help the mother vent her anger, I don't have this qualification, but I can tell the prince the ins and outs of this matter, and the prince will naturally decide right and wrong at that time......"

Steward Hu was clear about Gu Yue's identity, and he didn't dare to underestimate this new master at first, but later, when he heard that the prince's wedding night was spent at the Yuqiao girl, he felt a little contemptuous.

Moreover, Gu Yue has been obediently staying in Liuliyuan for the past few days since she got married, and she was almost thrown into the lotus pond by the prince and drowned, and she felt that this new master must be soft, and Steward Hu ignored this new master more and more, he only needed to supply Liuliyuan according to the princess's specifications, and he didn't want to worry about the rest at all.

Even today, when Yuqiao and the singer had not yet arrived in Liuliyuan, Steward Hu had already gotten the news, but the prince did not intervene in the mansion, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

He thought that the favored Yuqiao girl went to Liuliyuan just to find a reason to meet the princess and show off her favored high profile, but he never thought that she was so excessive that she almost destroyed the courtyard of Liuliyuan.

However, later I heard that Yuqiao and those singers did not get any good, and almost escaped from the glazed garden one by one, at this time Steward Hu knew that this new master was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and was thinking about whether he should go to the glazed garden to greet him and fulfill his duties as a housekeeper......

I heard that the princess came to Jinhuayuan again, in case of another conflict with the Yuqiao girl, which side should he, the housekeeper, help? The princess is noble, and everyone should respect her when she leaves the palace; However, the Yuqiao girl's deep favor of the prince cannot be offended, so he must rush over to prevent the conflict before it happens.
