Back at the Jinlan Garden of the Hou Mansion, Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After cleaning her whole body, she sat on a chair in the small study and looked through her notes for the past two years, while Lianzi and Guiyuan stood behind her to dry her wet hair.
Xie Yuan didn't pay much attention to the pharmacy in her previous life in the past two years, she just made several rouge gouaches and spices to please Shen's liking.
Although Shen was surprised, he liked it more, because the rouge gouache and spices made by his daughter were almost better than those on the market. Every time she went out, those nobles and ladies would always ask her where she got it, which greatly satisfied Shen's vanity.
The rouge gouache and spices made by Xie Yuan have a large market in Baiyujing's female dependents.
This is a small part of working with Rong Jin.
After reading the few recipes on the note, Xie Yuan put down the note, squinted his eyes slightly, and enjoyed the service of the maids.
After a moment, Xie Yuan said, "Now it's Mother Zhang and you who are in charge of the treasury key for me, right?"
She said this to Guiyuan, who didn't know why the girl suddenly remembered what happened in her treasury, and she replied, "Yes, girl." The keys have always been with me. ”
"Wait a minute, show me the list of the storeroom. Xie Yuan said, suddenly thinking that Zhang's mother was a member of the Shen family, and if she wanted to use the small treasury, she would inevitably report to the Shen family, and when the time came, she would have to find an excuse to prevaricate in the past, and she couldn't help but have a headache.
Rong Jin, this scourge.
Not only do you have to give him technical support, but you also have to put gold on your own!
After drying his hair, Gui Yuan went to fetch the list from the storeroom.
Xie Yuan picked up the thin booklet and read it carefully, thinking about how much gold he could take out. Her small vault had already begun to be filed before she was born, and it was nothing more than all kinds of items given by the elders, such as antique calligraphy and paintings, solitary books, jingchai jewelry, ornamental objects, jewelry, gold and silver, and all kinds of ornaments, all of which had written more than ten pages.
The wealth in this booklet is almost equal to the wealth of a slightly inferior noble family.
Not to mention, there are dozens of catties of gold and silver and dozens of silver tickets on the booklet.
She handed the booklet to Gui Yuan and said, "Go to the treasury and bring me my golden tickets for one hundred taels." ”
After speaking, Xie Yuan ignored Longan, walked to the desk, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote on the fine paper his recipe for making rouge, gouache and spices in the past two years. After writing, she thought about it and took up the pen to write another letter.
After writing the letter, Xie Yuan took an agarwood box and put these things together, and before they were put away, the lotus seed who had just been called out by the little maid walked in: "Girl, Madame told me to wait for a good student to dress you up." ”
"Is there something important?" Xie Yuan put the wooden box on the bookcase, raised his head and looked at the lotus seed with a pair of dark and quiet eyes.
"Just now, people from the palace came to the Hou Mansion. Lotus Seed bowed her head.
Xie Yuan remembered Rong Jin's words last night, "The emperor is going to free his hands to deal with your father", her face couldn't help but be cold, she secretly thought about the stakes between these two things, and said to Lianzi: "Then change my clothes for me." ”
Because she entered the palace, Xie Yuan put on a gorgeous skirt, wore expensive jewelry, and hung a bright mutton fat white jade longevity lock around her neck, gorgeous and dignified, but without losing the child's squeamishness and cuteness.
When Shen saw it, she couldn't help but feel soft, even in front of the eunuchs in the palace, she hugged Xie Yuan and rubbed it twice: "Sister Yuan is really a mother's sweetheart!"
Xie Huan was also standing next to her, after some adjustment/training by the Shen family, she was no longer the arrogant and arrogant girl she was today, but she had developed the dignified demeanor and noble manners of a noble daughter. Seeing the deep relationship between Shen and Xie Yuan's mother and daughter, the girl snorted lightly, thinking of her mother-in-law who had passed away a long time ago, her expression was also a little gloomy.
If her mother was still alive, would she spoil her daughter like the Shen family?
"Madame, this little daughter is so delicate and lovely. "That eunuch has a white face and no beard, surnamed Liu, in his forties, he is a very faceless duke in front of the Queen Mother, Rao is like this, he does not dare to have the slightest neglect of the people in the Hou Mansion.
The queen mother's background is not high, and before entering the palace, her family was only the daughter of a salt merchant in Baiyujing, even if her son became the emperor, she was still trembling. The queen is really in power in the palace, and it is Queen Ji who is in charge of the phoenix seal, Queen Ji is of noble birth, and she is the eldest daughter of the Ji family of the first family in Bai Yujing, and she is deeply loved by her father and brother, even if she is the emperor, she also respects Queen Ji.
And Qianyuanhou's wife, Shen, and Queen Ji used to be close friends in the boudoir, and now they are mothers, and the two still have frequent contacts.
said that Gonggong Liu was a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that it would not be as high as the position of Queen Ji and the previous one.
Shen smiled slightly, took the hands of his two daughters one by one, and said to Liu Gonggong: "I am tired of waiting for Liu Gonggong for a long time, and I hope that my father-in-law will not be surprised." ”
Gonggong Liu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Outside the Hanging Flower Gate, the oil-walled carriage had already been prepared, the masters got into the car, and the driver flicked the whip, and the carriage, which was low-key on the outside and luxurious on the inside, drove out of the Qianyuan Houfu and headed for the palace.
After getting into the carriage, Shen no longer had a calm and generous appearance in front of Gonggong Liu, she was sitting in a precarious position, and whispered to her two daughters: "When you go to the palace, remember to be more restrained." Don't be afraid when you encounter something, think about it more, and deal with it with confidence, you are all the daughters of Qianyuan Houfu, and you are all the daughters of the Xie family, according to your identity, even the princess is not more noble than you. ”
Xie Huan faintly felt that something was wrong, living in Bai Yujing's environment, her feelings were not dull, she secretly looked at Shen's face that was secretly worried, lowered her voice and asked quietly: "Mother, but something happened?"
Xie Yuan also looked at Shen.
Shen smiled and touched the heads of the two sisters, and said, "It's okay, it's just that we have to keep a low profile, and if we are too public, it will make your father and brother embarrassed." He added, "The Queen Mother just asked us to go into the palace to have a look, and you cheer up." ”
Although comforting the two sisters, Shen's eyes sank slightly, and the emperor really wanted to attack the family. As soon as she came back from Jiangnan, the eunuch came to the Hou Mansion with the Empress Dowager's decree, which didn't show that the royal family was keeping an eye on the Hou Mansion's actions.
I also thought of Hu Bo and others who were traveling in the rainstorm yesterday, they were all close associates of the emperor, so it can be seen that the emperor is going to make big moves these days.
Thinking of the changing situation in the court, Shen looked at his two daughters with a faint sense of worry.
Sister Huan'er has also reached the age of marriage, according to the current situation, this family matter is only afraid that it will become a bargaining chip in their game, and it must be settled as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi looked at Xie Huan a few more times, and decided to pick a time to talk to her to see if she had a favorite man. Because of his own experience, Shen is quite open-minded about marriage, and choosing a son-in-law is not only based on family background, but more importantly, he must respect his wife and be friendly to his mother-in-law.
Because the Shen family was friendly with Empress Ji, the Shen family's car could drive into the palace, but the Shen family stopped the carriage in front of the palace gate and walked into the palace with their two daughters.
Gonggong Liu followed behind, muttering a little in his heart: No wonder this lady can make friends with many noble ladies and nobles, just this forbearance kung fu that can advance and retreat is enough to be commendable.
Shen and his two daughters stood outside the Queen Mother's bedroom, and they didn't know which family and noblewomen were sitting inside, and they laughed so loudly when they talked to the Queen Mother that they could hear it outside. The Queen Mother has always been kind, but she is very particular about etiquette, and she can laugh in the Queen Mother's bedroom, that girl must be very favored by the Queen Mother.
Shen's face was as usual, and soon, the palace maid who was in charge of the Queen Mother's side welcomed them in with a smile on her face.
The furnishings in the dormitory are simple and elegant, without too many ornate and expensive decorations, but every place is delicate and elegant, revealing casual luxury and restrained royal style.
Only a few palace maids and eunuchs stood, bowing their eyebrows and waiting for orders; several women sat upright, each dressed very formally; and the queen mother wore a regular dress and was talking to the two children sitting at her hand. The two children are both eleven or twelve years old, one is the cousin Zhao Xi who used to get along with Xie Yuan, dignified and steady, full of beauty, and the other is delicately dressed, with impatience and coquettishness, and I don't know whose girl it is.
Xie Yuan followed Shen and Xie Huan, and greeted the Queen Mother in a proper manner.
The Queen Mother is already old, and she looks like a very kind and gentle old man, if it weren't for the phoenix hairpin with a graceful bearing, everyone would regard her as an ordinary old man.
"Good boys, come to the mourning family and let the mourning family take a look. The Queen Mother seemed to be a little dazzled, she beckoned to the two sisters, and said with a smile, "Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that you lovely children are always with the mourning family, the mourning family doesn't know how to live!"
"The Queen Mother is ......serious," a woman smiled, her eyes were a little small, and she was a little mean when she looked at people, even if Shen came in, she only glanced at Shen lightly.
"Hehe......" The old queen mother looked at the two sisters with a smile and said, "You are so good-born, you don't know which kid to cheapen!
asked Xie Yuan again: "I heard that you just came back from Jiangnan, Jiangnan is still fun, right?"
Xie Yuan looked at the old queen mother, her eyes were clear and clean, and she felt pitiful when she looked at it, as if she was just an ordinary person sitting in front of her and not the most noble woman in the world: "Back to the queen mother, Jiangnan is very fun." ”
The old queen mother was still smiling, and she was not angry because of Xie Yuan's bold direct gaze, her eyes narrowed because of the smile, and she looked even more kind, almost making people unable to see the coldness in her eyes: "Is there any fun in the capital?"
"The capital is a lot lively, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. Xie Yuan said.
"Hehe, you're a clever man. The Queen Mother praised and looked at Xie Huan with a smile, "I heard that you haven't decided to marry yet?"
Xie Huan often followed the Shen family in and out of the forbidden courtyard of the deep palace, although it was the first time to face the queen mother, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied respectfully: "Back to the queen mother, the people's daughter has not yet decided on a marriage." ”
"Then do you have a look at which young man? Tell the mourning family. ”
Xie Huan's heart suddenly beat hard, and the appearance of the six princes flashed quickly in her mind, and then she thought that the queen mother didn't know that she liked the six princes, so she said: "No, Huan's marriage is decided by her mother." ”
The old queen mother has experienced the world, how can she not know what Xie Huan thinks in her heart, she just thinks that Xie Huan is too shy to speak, and said with a smile: "Your mother is an excellent one, she is in charge of family affairs, she will definitely choose a good son-in-law for you!"
Zhao Xi smiled and looked at Xie Huan's face flushed with shame, and there was a faint pity in his eyes.
This humble eldest daughter, in her previous life, loved the six princes so much that she would rather be his side room...... However, there have been so many changes in this life, Xie Yuan did not die, the Shen family did not end up depressed, Xie Yi did not leave Beijing gloomily, and Qianyuan Houfu became stronger. This Xie Huan's current identity, even if she is the princess of the Sixth Prince, her gentle and elegant father has a way, right?
Zhao Xi's eyes glanced at Xie Yuan vaguely, and the doubts in his heart did not leave with the passage of time.
The biggest change in this life is the third girl who should have died, if she dies like in her previous life, the ending of this life Qianyuan Houfu is only afraid that it will be exactly the same as in her previous life.
This Xie Yuan, is she the same demon who has been reborn and returned?
......
This state is very poor, so let's have three more chapters. I'm sorry.
