Three hundred and fifty seventh chapters unpredictable
Xue Niang was moved to tears for Yuemian's filial piety, but she said, "Yuemian, you are very happy if you have this kind of heart. But Aunt can't go home to retire now. In this way, you can go out by yourself and be a few years later. It's not too late to go out for retirement if you like more money. You will have children at that time, and I'll take care of you."
"Aunt..." Yuemian was a little anxious and said, "Even if you want to do things, there are many things you can do outside. Why do you have to be a servant? Go out and have a look. Maybe you can meet a suitable person to marry. Isn't it great to have a warm home? Listen to me, you are like this now, it's really okay to find a good family, but it will be impossible in a few years."
Xue Niang looked depressed, but she really couldn't make any idea.
Yuemian thought for a while and said, "Aunt, if you are worried that you will not find a job after going out, we can do some small business together, such as opening a snack shop, snack shop, etc. You also said that you learned a lot of fancy skills when you were young, and it just happened that people outside have little knowledge and can use it."
"Where is so easy to make money outside?" Xue Niang shook her head, "You have been very careful since you were a child. It is better to think more about everything, but it is not good to think too much. You have to quit the errands of the royal family and concentrate on being a virtuous scholar, serving your husband to have children, and your aunt supports you, but if you want to tinker with something like that, your aunt doesn't agree with it. How easy is it to earn money outside? Just stay honestly and have a few bites of happy meals."
"Aunt, you have to fight for good life by yourself. You can be so happy to grow old when you are determined to be your life for the rest of your life?" Yuemian dislikes the most is her aunt's appearance of living tremblingly and exhorting happily, "Aunt, just listen to me once and go out to have a look. It's really not possible. After all, you have been in the royal palace for so many years and know all the rules. You are also rushing to continue to be a nanny at home in ordinary wealthy families. Why do you have to live like this today?"
"You ask me to think about it carefully." Xue Niang couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
...
The little maids of the princess wanted to win the favor of the princess, but as Yuemian guessed, the princess was really on a whim. From that day on, she didn't mention shuttlecock kicking for several days, and Tinglu was still her little maid, and she didn't mean to be valued at all.
The little maids were not very patient, and the shuttlecock fever gradually subsided after a few days. Everyone should do whatever they should do.
One day, Xiaoyi, a little maid who served musician Li Feng, secretly saw Madam Qing. She stuffed two golden seeds to Madam Qing and asked, "Madam, why haven't the princess listened to music for many days?"
Madam Qing has always liked to be greedy for such small gains, but she knew what she could not take, like Li Leshi. She could get a big reward for musicians who were not short of money by playing a few small songs. If she could take him a little benefit, she could get a harmless one. However, those little maids and servants only had to spend one or two dollars a month to subsidize their own expenses. She didn't dare to take a copper coin. If she didn't make a big profit, she couldn't make a big deal of money, and she would make her fussy.
Every time Li Feng plays the song last time, he will give them some benefits to the princess and the people in front of them, so everyone is happy to say a few words at the right time. At this moment, when he heard Xiaoyi ask, Madam Qing sighed. "Xiaoyi, I have said several times for Li Leshi, but the princess has not been summoned. I think it's because I'm not in a good mood these days, or it's just..."
At the critical moment, Madam Qing stopped and weighed the golden seeds in her hand without any trace.
Xiaoyi was also a clever person, so he quickly handed over two more golden seeds. Madam Qing smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is also my guess. I don't know if it's accurate. Don't blame me if I make mistakes."
Xiaoyi quickly said, "Please give me advice, we dare not blame the nanny."
Madam Qing then said, "I have been with the princess for a long time. I don't say that I have completely figured out the princess' temperament. I guessed one thing. The princess likes lively, but doesn't like a bunch of people chattering. I like to listen to joy or sorrow. I reminded him before the last time, and asked him to play it well. The result was probably that the song was too boring. The princess fell asleep as she listened. She definitely didn't like it. So she stopped recruiting Li Music recently. But don't worry, the princess didn't recruit other musicians. She might be interested again in a few days, but be careful, don't talk to make people want to sleep like last time."
After receiving guidance from Madam Qing, Xiaoyi hurried back to the small yard where Mr. Li lives.
Li Feng did not sell himself to the Dingwang Mansion. Although he came to the Dingwang Mansion to play, he was different from the servants and short-term workers. He was hired by a large sum of money, which was equivalent to those staff members. Therefore, the place where he lived was very elegant. He planted a pine tree in the yard, and he could sweep the snow on the pine needles to make tea in his spare time.
Only one guest lived in this small courtyard, and two servants he brought, one of whom was the eleven-year-old maid Xiaoyi, and the other was the twelve-year-old boy Xiaodong.
After hearing what Xiaoyi came back from Madam Qing, Li Feng put his hands on the strings for a long time without saying a word. As a top piano player, he had a pair of slender and delicate hands like white jade. Just looking at his hands, he could never imagine that this person was in his early fifties. Even a rich boy who was pampered by seventeen or eighteen years old might not have such hands. It was different from a woman's delicate and soft hands. His hands were clearly distinguished and seemed strong and powerful.
Xiaodong, however, muttered to Li Feng's dissatisfaction, "Sir, play well, makes people feel refreshed, and the princess fell asleep. The old lady didn't understand, and insisted on saying it was boring. It's really outrageous."
"Xiao Dong." Li Feng scolded in a low and hoarse voice, "How many times have you said that the place of Dingwang Mansion is not as good as other places. Be careful when speaking. Besides, what Madam Qing said may not be wrong. Personal preferences are different. You cannot say that it is extremely elegant if you like "Yangchun Baixue" and "Jibaren" are extremely vulgar. Every kind of music has its touching features."
"Yes, sir." Xiaodong was scolded and lowered his head.
At this time, Xiaoyi said again: "I also learned that the princess praised a little maid who played well with shuttlecocks some time ago. Moreover, the little maid said some interesting rural stories that the princess said were also very popular with the princess. Maybe the princess just likes to listen to lively and cheerful songs."
"I understand, you guys retreat first." Li Feng ordered lightly.
Xiaoyi and Xiaodong didn't dare to say anything more, so they stepped back gently. Behind them, a cheerful folk tune sounded...
Mongolian Mansion
Meng also walked into the main courtyard with a cold air, lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, and smiled to Mrs. Meng, who was checking her daughter's dowry, and said, "Look, what good things did I get today?"
Mrs. Meng looked at Shanzi without even glance at Meng Ye, but just asked perfunctorily: "What?"
Meng Ye has been accustomed to Mrs. Meng's coldness recently, and she was still very happy without caring about it. She opened the box and met Mrs. Meng and offered treasures: "The best blood swallow cups, look at how big the colors are, and you will definitely not find a better swallow cup in the Yancheng City. This is the most nutritious one."
Mrs. Meng finally became a little interested. She put down the dowry list and went up to take a closer look. There were eight blood swallow cups, all of which were the same size, neatly placed in the exquisite gift box. She glanced at Meng: "No, this thing is the best for her daughter."
"Do you think so?" Meng said proudly, "I heard that this thing is best to repair the body. I finally asked someone to buy it."
Mrs. Meng sneered in her heart, ignored Meng Ye's words about fertilization and replenishing the fetus, and said deliberately: "Yes, I'm worried that Yan'er's dowry lacks precious medicinal materials. Put this blood swallow cup in it, and our daughter's dowry will be almost done."
"This is for Fu'er. Fu'er is now big and needs to be nourished. Yan'er is just an ordinary family. It is enough to accompany two hundred-year-old ginseng. There are in the warehouse, so there is no need for such expensive things." Meng also said as he glanced at Mrs. Meng who seemed a little unhappy and smiled, "Isn't this Yan'er not married yet? Even if she gets married, she will have a while to get pregnant. I can buy it once and get it a second time. Don't worry, believe me, when Yan'er has a body, I will definitely get better. They are all my daughters, and I won't favor one or the other."
"I hope so." Mrs. Meng lost interest and continued to sit back on her seat to continue studying the dowry of her biological daughter.
Meng Ye felt like he was poured with a basin of cold water. If it were before, he would have been angry, but now he had not been used to endure it and said with a good voice: "This Fu'er is also your daughter. Now she is married to a noble son-in-law. Our whole family, including Yan'er, will naturally be better. The Zhou family has no power and power, and there are still places to help Fu'er in the future. You are better to Fu'er now, and Fu'er will also be nice to Yan'er in the future. You won't understand this principle."
He really didn't understand what happened to Mrs. Meng. He didn't understand such a simple truth. He had been huddled at home for these days, and he didn't go to socializing outside the mansion. Even the Ding Palace rarely went to.
Mrs. Meng didn't raise her eyes and her tone was cold, "I'm not holding your daughter everywhere now. Whatever she says is what she says. Even Yan'er-Guanger's marriage was only nodded after her consent. What else do you want?"
