Chapter Seventy-Six: The young lady will take the slave maid
How much Zhang Yunhui hates, Xin Nianyan can't feel it, but it won't feel too good when she thinks about it.
She watched her subordinates move all the dowries of the entire six warehouses back to the treasury in the courtyard where Chen Shiying lived back then.
In order to prevent omissions, she also specially asked Steward Zhu to count it, and if she found that there was a shortage, she would find something of the same value in Huilan Courtyard to replace it.
This Steward Zhu was personally brought up by Chen Shiying back then, so he was naturally willing to listen to Xin Nianyan's words.
It wasn't until all the dowries were not bad that Xin Nianyan left satisfied.
Along the way, the smile on the corner of her mouth never went down.
In her previous life, none of these dowries were taken back, and when she got married, because she was married to the prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion did re-purchase a pretty good dowry, plus some additional makeup prepared by the Guogong Mansion, which was not bad.
But compared to this, it is still far behind.
In the end, Qin Yan ascended the throne, and Xin Rouer was carried into the palace as a concubine, bringing with her this dowry that could cause a sensation in half of the capital, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.
In this life, what belongs to her, what doesn't belong to her, Xin Rouer doesn't want to get it anymore!
She's just going to leave her with nothing!
The dowry incident caused a sensation in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and when Xin Rouer learned about it, she also fainted directly.
It's not easy to be woken up by Caixia, and her first words were: "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!" ”
"Those obviously belong to me, why should she take Xin Nianyan away, why!!"
Xin Rou'er's expression was not much better than Zhang Yunhui's, her eyes were also red, and she trembled with anger.
No matter how much Caixia comforted her, it didn't help, and in the end, Xin Rouer slapped her in the face directly, venting all her anger to her.
Caixia was so frightened that she fell to her knees and didn't dare to say a word.
……
Back in Yanyun Courtyard, Xiao Candle, who had been holding back and didn't dare to speak, was so happy that she almost hugged Xin Nianyan directly.
"Ahhhh
The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, and she wanted to scream.
Those dowries have been seen by Zhang Yunhui's people little by little over the years.
She thought that it would be impossible to get it back, but she didn't expect it, she didn't expect it to be all taken back by Miss today, how could she not be excited.
The other subordinates of the Yanyun Courtyard naturally also knew about the movement outside, and at this time, seeing Xiao Zhu so excited, and hearing her words, they all had complicated expressions.
Especially Chunxiang Chuncao, they didn't know how to describe their mood for a while.
Perhaps they should be glad that they woke up early and leaned towards the eldest lady.
Otherwise, if you keep doing things for your wife, I'm afraid that the end will not be much better in the future.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current eldest lady is no longer the weak and incompetent eldest lady she used to be.
"Well, you're pretty good too."
Xin Nianyan patted Xiao Candle's head, looking at her excited little face flushed, she couldn't stop being happy.
Back in the house, Xiao Candle was excited for a while, and then slowly calmed down.
Xin Nianyan saw that she was finally quiet, and said with a smile: "Happy? “
Xiao Candle smiled embarrassedly: "Miss, you are joking with the slave~"
Xin Nianyan shook his head, and then Shi Wu walked in from outside.
Xin Nianyan and Xiao Zhu both looked at her: "Sister Shi Wu is back." ”
"Done?"
Shi Wu said: "Well, the slave maid listened to the young lady's words, bought a coffin, found a few people to help her bury her mother, and gave her five taels of silver before coming back." ”
Xin Nianyan nodded: "Well, it's hard work, go back and rest." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Shi Wu withdrew.
Xiao Candle looked at her back, thought for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, why did you say that she would come to you again?" ”
"You've already given her the money, and you didn't say you wanted to buy her, shouldn't she find a place to live on her own?"
Could the woman still be able to sell herself into slavery?
Who would want to sell themselves into slavery unless they had to.
"I don't know, guess." Xin Nianyan said casually.
"Guess?" Xiao Candle was even more puzzled, but Xin Nianyan didn't have any intention to explain, stood up, and went back to the inner room.
……
The next day, as Xin Nianyan said, Gu Shuang really came to her.
Yesterday, with the help of Shi Wu, after burying her mother, she knelt in front of her mother's grave for most of the night, went back and rested for most of the night, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early this morning.
Gu Shuangti's Xin Nianyan's name, so the porter took her directly to Yanyun Courtyard.
At that time, Xin Nianyan was reading a book under the gazebo in the courtyard, and it was not surprising to see her coming.
"You're looking for me?" Xin Nianyan just glanced at her, then continued to look at the book in his hand, and asked in a flat tone.
Gu Shuang looked at her stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be infected by the cold and indifferent aura emanating from her.
After a while, she quickly knelt down and said, "The little lady is here to thank the eldest lady, thank you for helping the eldest lady yesterday." ”
Xin Nianyan said: "You're welcome, just raise your hands, you get up first." ”
Gu Shuang pursed his lips and didn't move, but looked at Xin Nianyan who didn't want to leave his intentions, and after hesitating for a while, he took the initiative to say:
"Miss, the slave maid sold herself to bury her mother yesterday, since the eldest lady helped the slave bury her mother, then the slave and maid will be the eldest lady's person in the future, and the slave and maid are willing to follow the eldest lady and be a cow and a horse for the eldest lady, I hope the eldest lady will not dislike the slave and the maid."
Xiao Candle on the side was stunned, she didn't expect that this woman would really sell herself into slavery, and she didn't know what to say about her for a while.
Xiao Candle looked at Xin Nianyan, wanting to see what she said.
Xin Nianyan's fingers as he flipped through the books paused, and then he looked at Gu Shuang again.
She looked fixedly, and saw that the woman's heart on the ground was beating faster, and she was so nervous that she couldn't do it, so she slowly spoke: "I don't lack people here, you better go back, see that you are not young, it's time to be in time, go back and find some work to do, or find someone to marry, it's better than being a slave here." ”
Gu Shuang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't want to get married, the mother is dead, and the slave maid guards the cold little house alone and is also desolate, so Miss will accept the slave maid." ”
Her mother had just died, so how could she get married?
But she is a girl, and it is impossible for her to live in that small house, not to mention the desolation, maybe she will be remembered.
So she would rather come to Xin Nianyan as a person and serve her, which should be regarded as a repayment.
Xin Nianyan stared at her for a long time, and after a while, she said again: "Since that's the case, then you can live with me first, but you remember, without me, you can't leave Yanyun Courtyard for half a step......"
