Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After being busy with the marriage of the Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen, Liu Youyou began to send people to keep an eye on a palace maid named Cui in the palace. This was also because in the previous life, Yixiu realized the importance of Cui Jinxi to Zhen Huan and sent people to investigate. It was learned that Cui Jinxi was saved by Rouze who came to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine De in the winter of the fortieth year.

Liu Youyou wanted to verify a hypothesis: did Cui Jinxi really serve Zhen Huan in order to repay Rouze for saving her life?

Liu Youyou followed the process of Rouze paying respects that year, and happened to meet Cui Jinxi who had a fever on a snowy day and was about to be dragged out.

Hearing the voice begging for mercy not far away, Yixiu stopped and said, "Jianqiu, go and see what's going on in front? The harem is quiet, why are you making so much noise here?"

Jianqiu obeyed the order and stepped forward to interrupt the eunuch who was pulling the maid. "What are you doing? What did this maid do wrong?"

The young eunuch looked at Jianqiu's clothes, then looked at the nobles waiting in the distance, and did not dare to be presumptuous. He whispered, "To answer your aunt, this palace maid has caught a cold, and I am afraid that she will infect the nobles in the palace, so I have to move her out."

It was right to say that the eunuch followed the rules. After all, the concubines in the palace were all delicate and precious. If one of them accidentally infected the nobles, the servants would not be able to pay for it even if they had a hundred lives. But Cui Jinxi was obviously conscious and might be able to get through it with a few doses of medicine. Why was she moved away by the eunuch as if she could not be cured?

Cui Jinxi was also feeling very bitter. She had no money when she entered the palace, so naturally she couldn't serve the concubines. She was assigned to a place where there was usually no one. She managed to save some money for herself, but she had to buy medicine for her cold. Now that she was almost cured, she had no money to bribe the eunuch to let her go.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better and Cui Jinxi met a kind-hearted nobleman, who might have saved her.

But this little eunuch is the supervisor’s godson, and Cui Jinxi cannot complain directly to Jianqiu. And what if the noble is unwilling to take care of such a small matter?

Therefore, Cui Jinxi could only look at Jianqiu pleadingly, without saying a word, and just shedding tears silently.

Feeling sympathy for one's own kind, Jianqiu looked at Cui Jinxi, who was a few years younger than herself. She was afraid that if she was really moved out, she would not survive.

So, when reporting to Yixiu, Jianqiu couldn't help but lean towards Cui Jinxi a little.

"Fujin, that maid has caught a cold due to the severe winter weather and needs to be moved out."

Yixiu looked reluctant and asked Jianqiu, "God is merciful. Is the palace maid seriously ill?"

Jianqiu replied: "The maid's eyes were clear, and other than coughing a few times, I couldn't tell that she was seriously ill."

Yixiu frowned and ordered, "Then go to the Imperial Hospital and get some cold medicine for this palace maid. There's no need to move her out."

The Fourth Lady spoke, and Cui Jinxi saved her life. The young eunuch did not dare to refute and sighed in his heart that Cui Jinxi was lucky.

After finishing this drama, Liu Youyou continued to send people to keep an eye on Cui Jinxi.

After Cui Jinxi finished taking the medicine she got from the Imperial Hospital and recovered from her cold, she understood why her supervisor had insisted on moving her out.

This matter was told by the young eunuch that day. Perhaps because he saw that Cui Jinxi was favored by the nobleman and was afraid that Cui Jinxi would take revenge after she became successful, the supervisor instructed the young eunuch to explain the matter to Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi works efficiently and is good at handling things. The housekeeper above is about to retire, so naturally she chose Cui Jinxi. But the housekeeper is a popular woman, and everyone is keeping an eye on her.

Apart from Cui Jinxi, the most promising palace maid naturally also wanted to climb up, but if she wanted to climb up, she had to get rid of Cui Jinxi who was in the way.

This was not a difficult matter. He bribed the palace maid who shared a room with Cui Jinxi to extinguish the brazier in the middle of the night, causing Cui Jinxi to catch a cold. He then bribed the supervisor to turn a blind eye and move Cui Jinxi out.

Even if Cui Jinxi was lucky enough not to die, by that time it would be a fait accompli and the appointment of the head nanny would not wait until Cui Jinxi recovered.

It's a pity that Cui Jinxi is really lucky and has a good life. With the help of noble people, the position of the housekeeper will definitely belong to Cui Jinxi. The supervisor will not offend his future colleagues for a palace maid with no future.

Cui Jinxi listened to the eunuch's story. After the eunuch finished speaking, he handed a purse to Cui Jinxi in a flattering manner, "Aunt Cui, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I hope you can forgive me."

The young eunuch had no choice. If he didn't get Cui Jinxi's forgiveness, the supervisor wouldn't care about the young eunuch's life or death. The supervisor had so many godsons, so he wouldn't need a young eunuch. But the young eunuch only had one life, and he didn't want to be punished to death by Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi accepted the purse and said considerately, "The supervisor and eunuch are just following the rules and regulations. It's just that someone is making trouble. How can you blame the supervisor and eunuch?"

When the young eunuch saw Cui Jinxi accept the purse, he knew that she would not pursue the matter and he felt relieved.

Finally, the young eunuch reminded: "Aunt Cui should not conflict with Aunt Mu unless she is sure of the necessary situation."

Aunt Mu was the palace maid who framed Cui Jinxi and wanted to become the head nanny. Cui Jinxi looked at the little eunuch in confusion.

The young eunuch explained softly, "Aunt Mu is related to the head aunt in Concubine Hui's palace."

This is where Aunt Mu's confidence comes from. Aunt Mu is easy to deal with, but who dares to punish Concubine Hui except the main concubines? What if this aunt in charge values ​​Aunt Mu and wants to avenge her?

The palace is a place where cliques are formed the most. If not for sentiment, then for face. It doesn't take much effort for the aunt in charge to deal with Cui Jinxi.

After sending the young eunuch away, Cui Jinxi held the purse and felt the weight inside. Twenty taels was not a lot, but it was a considerable tribute in this place where there was not much money to be made.

But Cui Jinxi didn't expect that she had never thought of harming anyone, but others would not have such a bottom line. But she had no background and no backing, and if she really dealt with Aunt Mu, she was afraid that it would cause a disaster.

Do I have to bear this anger? Cui Jinxi was unwilling to do so.

At this time, the head nanny who was about to retire came to see Cui Jinxi. She held Cui Jinxi's hand intimately and said, "Good child, you have suffered."

Cui Jinxi didn’t think that the head nanny came out of concern for her. If she really wanted to know her, she wouldn’t have watched her being dragged away by the little eunuch indifferently.

"It's also thanks to you, my noble friend," Cui Jinxi said perfunctorily.

The head nanny took this opportunity to sigh: "Yes! The people who have the final say in this palace are the nobles. We servants are not blessed to become nobles, but being able to do things for the nobles is also a good thing. It can be regarded as finding a backer for ourselves, so that we don't have to be bullied at will. "

As the head nanny spoke, she looked at Cui Jinxi meaningfully.
