Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The days in the mansion passed by slowly and quickly. It seemed as if the imperial decree was just announced yesterday, and today Cao Qinmo and Lin Zhuoyin were carried into Prince Yong's mansion in a sedan chair.

Cao Qinmo was indeed not very good-looking, and on the first day after entering the mansion, she was taken away by Lin Zhuoyin.

Fortunately, Cao Qinmo also knew that the chances of her serving the emperor in bed on the first day were not high, so she was not dissatisfied with the result.

Yin Xiu, who followed her into the palace, was still shocked by the magnificence of the palace. She said in amazement, "Miss, when I followed you to the palace last year, I thought it was already amazing. I didn't expect the palace to be even better. Even every blade of grass and every tree has been decorated with great care!"

Cao Qinmo was also surprised by the scene in the palace, but she was a thoughtful person. No matter how surprised she was, she looked calm. She didn't want to reveal her weaknesses and be looked down upon by the servants.

Although Yinxiu looked around, she did not forget her job. "I came into the mansion a little late today. Miss must be hungry. Do you want me to serve you food?"

Cao Qinmo really needed to eat something to replenish her energy, so when she arrived at the yard today, she kept packing things. Cao Qinmo was also a cautious person, and she had not yet figured out the personnel assigned to her, so she dared not use them. She could only work with Yinxiu. Fortunately, there were not many things, but they were busy for a while.

"Since you have entered the mansion, you should call me Gege, so as not to be misunderstood by others." Cao Qinmo nodded and reminded Yinxiu at the same time.

Yinxiu was not a personal maid who grew up with Cao Qinmo. The economic situation of the Cao family was there, so how could they afford to hire a maid for their daughter? But seeing that they had become connected with the Nian family, Cao Qinmo could not go home without a servant when she visited last year, so she found a maid, who is now Yinxiu.

Therefore, even though Cao Qinmo was cautious, Yinxiu had only been trained for a short time and still lacked the ability to speak, so Cao Qinmo needed to keep an eye on her. However, Yinxiu knew everything about him and was always more loyal than other servants, so Cao Qinmo had no choice but to bite the bullet and make Yinxiu his confidant.

Although Yinxiu had served Cao Qinmo for a short time, she knew that this master had a plan in mind, so she quickly replied, "Princess, I will remember this."

Cao Qinmo was quite satisfied with Yinxiu's understanding. "Talk less and listen more. Come back quickly after getting the food. If there is a chance, you can also listen to some news you encounter. But don't do it too obviously. If someone finds out, it will seem like we are master and servant and are restless." Yinxiu is immature now, and Cao Qinmo is afraid that she will offend someone who should not be offended.

Yinxiu nodded and was about to go out, but was stopped by Cao Qinmo, "Take the change on my table. In case the kitchen needs help, don't be stingy." When arriving at a new place, one must always pay a visit to the new place, and Cao Qinmo will not make a mistake on this matter.

After listening to Cao Qinmo's instructions, Yinxiu took a handful of silver and went out. The nanny who led the way today explained it clearly, and Yinxiu listened carefully. After only a rough understanding of the direction, she found the kitchen along the road.

Yinxiu took a look and walked towards a eunuch who was sitting idly with a smile. The eunuch was leisurely cracking melon seeds, and there was a pot of hot tea on the table beside him. He looked very leisurely.

"Excuse me, sir, is this the big kitchen?"

The eunuch had already noticed Yin Xiu, who was sizing people up. He didn't expect that she was also a thoughtful person who noticed him. "Which master do you serve, young lady? My last name is Bei Xiuwen. You can just call me Little Beizi."

It was dinner time now and everyone in the kitchen was busy, but only the eunuch named Bei Xiuwen was leisurely drinking tea. Even if Yinxiu didn't know the inside story, she didn't dare to call him "Little Beizi"!

"I am Cao Gege's maid who came into the palace today. I don't know the situation in the palace. Please forgive me, Eunuch Bei." As she said this, Yinxiu took out a purse and stuffed it into Bei Xiuwen's hand.

As soon as Bei Xiuwen touched it, he knew it was a silver ingot weighing ten taels. It was said that Cao Gege, who came into the mansion, was the daughter of a juren, with an obscure family background and not being pretty, so she was probably destined to fall out of favor. But when Bei Xiuwen saw Yinxiu's cleverness, he knew that Cao Qinmo was also a thoughtful person, and maybe there would really be a chance for them, so he was not stingy in making friends with her.

"As soon as I saw Miss Yinxiu's lively appearance, I knew it must be Princess Cao. She just entered the mansion today and must be very tired. Little Huangzi!" Bei Xiuwen called out a name, and then a little eunuch trotted over nimbly.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Little Huangzi asked with a smile.

Bei Xiuwen introduced Yinxiu, "This guy is Huang Guiquan. He is smart and well-behaved. From now on, you can come to him when you come to the kitchen to get food." Then, he said to Huang Guiquan, "This is Miss Yinxiu who is by Cao Gege's side. Today, Master is treating us. We have carefully prepared a table for Cao Gege and let her see the level of our palace!"

Huang Guiquan responded promptly and said to Yinxiu, "Miss, please follow me!"

Yinxiu said goodbye to Bei Xiuwen, followed Huang Guiquan's footsteps, and said politely, "Eunuch Huang, just call me Yinxiu. We are all servants. Who can be more noble than who?"

After this was said, Huang Guiquan was not polite anymore. Who would want to be a slave if they could speak normally?

"Miss Yinxiu, you are too polite. You are a capable maidservant beside Cao Gege, and I am just a little eunuch in the kitchen."

Yinxiu held Huang Guiquan in her arms and said, "Although I don't know the situation in the palace, it seems that Eunuch Bei just now is a great man. As Eunuch Huang's apprentice, how bad can he be?"

Huang Guiquan said with some pride, "Otherwise Miss Yinxiu could serve the nobleman! Such good eyesight is beyond reproach. My master is the head chef of the main kitchen in our palace!" So Huang Guiquan also became the second-in-command of the kitchen.

Yinxiu just took a gamble, but unexpectedly she really caught a big fish. "Eunuch Huang said that he was a little eunuch. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Eunuch Huang a lot in the future!" Yinxiu stretched out her hand again, took out a purse and handed it to Huang Guiquan.

Huang Guiquan was not polite and took the purse. He was a little disappointed. Why was there only five taels of silver? This Cao Gege was indeed as the rumor in the mansion said, her family was very poor. However, due to Bei Xiuwen's order, he couldn't just give up and leave. However, his attitude was not as warm as before.

Yinxiu didn't expect that Huang Guiquan would be even more contemptuous than Bei Xiuwen, but Huang Guiquan was her only connection in the palace, so she could only pretend not to know and continue to say nice things.

Who doesn’t like to hear nice words? Yinxiu’s words were better than those of the servants in the kitchen, so Huang Guiquan didn’t say anything else, nor did he withhold food. He instructed the cook to prepare a table of food as usual, and sent two eunuchs to help Yinxiu carry it back.
