My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings
Chapter 499 Gu Mansion
This house is really big, much bigger than the house in Donghai Town that the emperor bestowed upon Gu Lili when he conferred the title of county princess on her.
Gu Lili laughed in her heart. If this happened in modern times, it would definitely be a tourist attraction.
If you want to come in, you have to buy a ticket.
In this way, more than twenty servants are not actually too many.
It would take quite a long time for more than 20 people to clean such a large place.
I walked along the corridor and passed several courtyards before finally arriving at the main courtyard where Gu Lili was resting.
There was also a plaque hanging at the entrance of the main courtyard, and Gu Lili looked at it with the help of a lantern.
The three words "Mu Lixuan" came into view, still in the familiar handwriting.
Gu Lili couldn't help but blush. She didn't know if it was because she was daydreaming, but she felt that the name of this courtyard was a little too ambiguous.
As Nanny Xia walked in, Gu Lili didn't know if it was an illusion or what, but she actually felt that there was a warmth in the yard in this cold winter.
When I got closer, I realized that there was smoke on the other side of the yard.
"Princess, that's a hot spring. You can take Miss Huanhuan there to soak in it later to relieve your fatigue and drive away the cold."
Nanny Xia saw the look in Gu Lili's eyes as she looked towards Wenquan and explained with a smile.
Gu Lili nodded and continued to follow him in.
I pushed the door open and felt a warm current spread throughout my body.
Gu Lili raised her eyes and looked inside. The big kang where Yin Jiuchen slept before in her house was actually moved here by Yin Jiuchen.
However, the size has been slightly reduced, but it can still accommodate three or four people to sleep.
No wonder there is no charcoal brazier in this room, yet it is so warm.
As Gu Lili approached, the mechanical sound of the system continued to ring in Gu Lili's mind.
"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom Folding Screen, three thousand five hundred taels."
"Huanghuali wood table and chairs, 16,000 taels."
"Magnolia tea set, two thousand three hundred taels."
"..."
Gu Lili's eyes widened. No wonder in those palace fighting dramas, the ladies were always fighting with each other.
What we are fighting for is real wealth!
This is too luxurious.
There was also smoke rising from the incense burner in the house, emitting bursts of woody fragrance.
Gu Lili didn't even need to guess, the system told her that what was burning in the incense burner was agarwood.
"Sister, it's so warm and fragrant here." Gu Huanhuan said with emotion.
Gu Lili nodded, it was indeed the case.
"Then how about we sleep together tonight?" Gu Lili said with a smile and scratched Gu Huanhuan's little nose.
Gu Huanhuan nodded happily.
Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan's luggage had already been brought in by the four maids who followed behind them.
The nanny asked respectfully, "Princess, do you want some food? Eat some food, take a rest, soak in the hot spring, and have a good sleep. Perhaps the emperor will summon you tomorrow."
Gu Lili came here to translate Japanese.
It is not surprising that the emperor is so anxious to summon him.
Although the two of them had some snacks in a hurry, they still couldn't satisfy their hunger.
He nodded and agreed and asked the nanny to serve the meal.
The nanny looked at another maid, and the maid bowed to Gu Lili, stepped back a few steps, and then hurried out to have the meal served.
As Gu Lili expected, the meal was also unusually sumptuous.
There were eighteen dishes on the table.
Two maids stood beside them and served food to Gu Huanhuan and Gu Lili.
As long as the two of them looked at a dish, the maid would put it in their bowls the next moment.
This made it a little difficult for Gu Huanhuan and Gu Lili to adapt.
"Sister, can we sisters have dinner with grandma?" Gu Huanhuan asked.
In the past, she watched Gu Jingsheng and his family eat like this.
Gu Huanhuan understood the uncomfortable feeling. She felt like she was going crazy with greed and was in great agony.
Before Gu Lili could say anything, the two maids who were serving the food, Nanny Xia, and the two maids waiting on the side all knelt down.
Nanny Xia said in panic, "Miss Huanhuan, you are joking. I am just an old servant. How can I be your grandmother? We are not worthy of having meals with you and the princess."
If I can be Gu Huanhuan’s grandmother, then I can be Gu Lili’s grandmother as well.
This is extremely disrespectful! Aunt Xia couldn't help but feel terrified.
Gu Huanhuan had no idea about the rules of going to the capital. She thought they were well-intentioned, but she didn't expect that they were so scared. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Along the way, Gu Lili also told Gu Huanhuan about the complicated rules of going to Beijing.
But I didn't expect it to be like this.
There was so much food on the table that she and Gu Lili would definitely not be able to finish it. It was really a waste.
Gu Lili patted Gu Huanhuan's hand, then turned to the people kneeling on the ground and said.
"Don't kneel all the time. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Now that my sister has spoken, you should stand up and eat together."
Although this is against the rules, rules are made by humans.
This is the Gu Mansion, so naturally Gu Lili is the one in charge.
Nanny Xia was a little flattered.
"Princess, no, this is against the rules."
Although, Nanny Xia knew that Gu Lili was from a peasant family and was not particular about trivial matters.
But if this matter were to get out, it would be inevitable that people would laugh at Gu Lili.
It was said that she ate at the same table with the servants.
Gu Lili thought for a moment, pointed to the tea table on the other side and said, "Then you can take these dishes over there and eat. This will be in accordance with the rules, right?"
Gu Huanhuan nodded quickly and looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
The few people on the ground looked at Nanny Xia helplessly. When they saw Nanny Xia nodded, they thanked her together.
"Thank you, Princess, for the food!"
Gu Lili raised her hand and signaled everyone to stand up.
She selected a few plates of dishes that neither she nor Gu Huanhuan had touched, and asked Nanny Xia to take them over there to eat.
A few people went to eat nearby, and only then did Gu Huanhuan feel relaxed.
Under the subtle influence of Gu Lili, Gu Huanhuan already feels that everyone should be equal in this world.
While the two sisters were eating, Nanny Xia was also eating beside them, and she was looking at Gu Lili while eating.
Tonight, when Nanny Xia first saw Gu Lili at the door, she was already stunned.
She originally thought that since Gu Lili was born into a peasant family, she wouldn't be very pretty.
But I didn't expect that Gu Lili had snow-white skin, which was completely different from that of a peasant girl.
It was even better in the light of the snow outside the door.
There is no intention to belittle peasant girls here, but in Nanny Xia's mind, peasant girls are exposed to the wind and sun and have to work in the fields, so their skin is naturally not as good as those of noble girls.
But I didn't expect that Gu Lili was so fair and skinned, more than any noble lady in the capital.
A pair of beautiful eyes, clean and clear. Now that there is more light in the room, a faint pink hue appears on her fair face.
