A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 158 Half a Foot Can Enter the Ground
The Fifth Princess pondered for dozens of breaths before looking at Master Dong.
"Dong Banban, are you saying that maybe Madam Su can help me?"
The Fifth Princess is the most beloved princess of the time, and her husband is a handsome young man from a noble family. When they got married, the Fifth Princess's mansion was in the best location and had the best area. After the wedding, she did not need to live in the same mansion with her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law. She was wealthy and powerful. It could be said that there were few women in the world more noble than her.
Originally, she should have been enjoying a carefree life as a rich and beautiful woman in the world, but the Fifth Princess had irreparable regrets in her life.
Master Dong crossed his hands and bowed his head respectfully, "I am also hoping for the best for the princess. If things can turn around, won't there be no regrets?"
Wouldn't it also avoid attracting so many unknown creatures to attach themselves to the princess and suck her blood?
The fifth princess's eyebrows frowned unconsciously.
Of course she knew that Dong Banban had suffered from those things before he retired.
Those guys who are not good at dealing with things were restrained at first, but later they gradually showed their true colors to test her. When they saw that she was unhappy, they quickly retreated. If she was too lazy to pay attention to them, they would become more and more aggressive.
With a manager like Dong Banban who is tight-fisted but loyal to her, those people feel like they are trapped and can only do what they want. Ever since Dong Banban retired and returned to his hometown, and was replaced by the good-natured manager Liu, aren't those people overjoyed?
But do those things think that she, a princess, knows nothing?
In fact, her patience had reached its limit, and she had already planned to pick out two of them, punish them severely, and then kick them out.
"Please go down and rest for a day, and let me think about it."
Mr. Dong naturally knew the character of his young master.
There is a mother who is not interested in worldly affairs, eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures all day long, but she is the only one among several princesses who is favored by His Highness. Could the Fifth Princess be a person who allows herself to be bullied?
He bowed respectfully and responded, then backed out of the hall.
Mr. Dong used to be the steward of the princess's mansion. He was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass, every brick and tile in the mansion.
Only three years have passed, and although the princess's mansion is still the same princess's mansion, there seem to be some subtle changes.
This made him, the old steward, couldn't help but feel emotional.
Although he was a retired steward, seeing that he had just had the opportunity to meet and talk with Her Royal Highness the Princess alone, and Her Royal Highness asking Steward Dong to have a good rest, the young eunuchs serving in the warm room did not dare to slack off at all, and were very diligent in pouring tea and water.
Mr. Dong smiled and nodded, but he didn't really give these people orders.
He sat in an armchair and took a sip of the fragrant tea.
Then footsteps were heard outside the door, and a plump, middle-aged eunuch came in with a smile on his face.
This middle-aged eunuch was none other than Chief Steward Liu, who succeeded Master Dong after he passed away.
Butler Liu is different from Master Dong. Master Dong has been serving the Fifth Princess since she was a child.
However, Liu Zongguan was the eunuch designated by the palace as the dowry eunuch when the fifth princess got married at the age of 19.
The fifth princess is now 28 years old. Liu Zongguan climbed from an ordinary eunuch to the current position of chief steward. Naturally, he is a smart man among the smart men.
When he saw Mr. Dong at this moment, although he was confused and doubtful, he still put on a sincere smile on his face.
"Grandpa Dong is back! How is he doing? Oh, ever since Grandpa Dong left, His Highness has been very reluctant to let him go and has been mentioning him from time to time!"
Which of the young eunuchs at that time did not respectfully call Master Dong "Grandpa" when they saw him?
Naturally, Manager Liu also called out many times.
But although he spoke very affectionately, he was actually cursing in his heart.
This damn old man, he already has one foot half buried in the ground, he could have gone back to his hometown to hug his grandchildren, but he still lingers around, offering magical fruits to please the princess. The princess had hardly mentioned this old man Dong in the first place, but after seeing the magical fruits, he felt that the previous three years of his work were in vain!
Instead of sending the magical fruit, he came back with a shameless look on his face!
What? Do you still want to come back and be the chief steward?
Mr. Dong naturally joined in the act, making oohs and ahs with a kindly smile on his face.
"Oh, no, I'm old, my legs and feet are not as good as before."
"Well, now I have eye problems again. The doctors in the countryside are not very good, so I have to return to Beijing to find a good doctor to see me."
"Well, I'm back in Beijing now. I'm really worried about you, so I came to the palace to pay my respects to His Highness."
Manager Liu tried to trick the other party for a long time but still couldn't find out what the old man had said to the princess.
It was as if he had dementia, and his speech was all in a murmuring sound, which didn't sound clear. He was completely different from three years ago.
Then I watched the old fellow pick up the teacup, his hands shaking like a sieve, and he accidentally spilled tea on his beard and lapels... Oh my, how sloppy he is!
The Fifth Princess is so fond of cleanliness and nostalgic that she would not be able to stand such a useless old waste, right?
Manager Liu finally lost interest. Before the smiling mask on his face broke, he said goodbye to Mr. Dong warmly and left with ulterior motives.
Mr. Dong's eyes followed the figure of Manager Liu until he could no longer see him.
The corners of his lips curved slightly, and he slowly took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and began to wipe his gray beard intermittently.
This cloth handkerchief was made by his old wife. It was a plain square handkerchief with only a clumsy little flower embroidered in one corner.
His wife has never been good at needlework since she was young, and the fact that she was able to embroider this little flower is the result of hard practice.
But among the many exquisite embroidered handkerchiefs in the world, he still prefers this plain cloth handkerchief with a small flower on it. It is...comfortable to use.
Mr. Dong didn't have to wait too long. In the evening, the Fifth Princess sent her personal maid Su Xin over.
"Grandpa Dong, you still have the most face!"
"Our princess has been in a bad mood for the past six months. We have all advised Her Highness to go out for a walk, but Her Highness refused. Now, after hearing you talk about how beautiful the scenery of Tongcheng is, she has become interested and asked us to pack our bags and go to Tongcheng with you!"
Although Mr. Dong was somewhat confident that he could convince the princess, he thought it was the princess who invited Madam Su to visit the capital.
Who would have thought that the Fifth Princess would actually have the idea of going directly to Old Madam Su's manor in Tongcheng!
This way, this way, is of course the best!
After all, it was in the Suxian Temple that Old Madam Su was favored by the immortal.
If the fifth princess went to Suxian Temple, would she be able to have some luck?
Mr. Dong laughed out loud.
"Oh! It's really like this? I really didn't expect this!"
"But our Tongcheng is indeed a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."
"When we get to Tongcheng, I'll invite you to try some lamb from my farm! It's very tender!"
