Noble Lady

Finally, the troublesome and thankless task of feeding the He family was gotten rid of.

For Xue Chenyu, she was free from worries from then on, and she didn't have to use her own money to subsidize them, nor did she have to curry favor with others. It was like getting one million to eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

Furong Curie was almost about to set off fireworks to celebrate.

The master was in a good mood, so Yuzhu and several other maids were rewarded with ten taels of silver each.

She also asked Xue Chenyu to open her makeup box and generously let them each choose a piece of jewelry.

But these girls didn't dare to choose, so Xue Chenyu had to pick one for each of them herself.

Yuzhu is a tasseled hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.

Qiushui and Dongyue each received a golden hairpin and a hairpin engraved with lotus blossoms and twigs;

Although Yumei was still young, she was given a pair of silver hairpins with four butterflies inlaid with gems, which were more suitable for her age.

But Yumei was also young and thick-skinned. Looking at the snow-white gauze handkerchief embroidered with a clump of green bamboo in Xue Chenyu's hand, she was overjoyed and whispered to her, "Miss, can Yumei ask you for this handkerchief?"

"You like this handkerchief?" Xue Chenyu didn't think it was inappropriate and gave it to her casually. "If you like it, take it and use it. But this thing is not very strong. Don't rub it too hard when you wipe things, or it will break."

This thing is expensive, but it is not strong or durable.

She will have to ask Yuzhu to embroider a few more handkerchiefs for her later.

The snow-white gauze that costs one foot and one gold coin for ordinary people can only be made into a handkerchief for her.

She also complains that people are not strong enough.

Yumei's eyes widened slightly, "Really, really give it to me?"

Then he held it in his hands with great surprise.

Xue Chenyu was amused by her vivid appearance.

Although Yuzhu, Qiuhua, Dongyue and the others were not the type to keep things to themselves, they were a few years older after all. In addition, they all came from the Marquis' Mansion and were brought up with rules by their mothers. So no matter what, they tended to be calmer.

Yumei is different. She is only a little over twelve years old, less than thirteen years old, and is at the age when she is lively and playful.

Moreover, she grew up in a farming family, without so many rules and regulations, and her personality is more unrestrained and natural.

It is indeed different.

"If you like it, you can use it, but this thing is a daughter's thing after all, and you can't give it away casually." Xue Chenyu touched her head and advised.

After all, it is a personal item. It doesn't matter if I give it to this little girl, but if it falls into the hands of an outsider, it will be hard to explain.

Yumei said solemnly, "Don't worry, young lady. Although I'm a little clueless, I can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant. My mother said that if a handkerchief is something so intimate that it's exposed to outsiders, it will ruin a young lady's reputation."

"That's not that serious, just keep it."

Yumei: "Please rest assured, young lady. I will keep it well. I will never let anyone else touch it."

Xue Chenyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." She was completely confident in him.

Yuzhu and the others were also amused.

This little girl looks silly, but she is also very clever;

You say she is smart, and sometimes she says some silly things, which are natural and unpretentious, which is quite interesting.

Yumei quickly folded the snow-white gauze handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo and put it in her purse like a treasure.

The last time she showed her purse to Yuzhu, she had saved six taels of her monthly allowance of one tael.

This purse contains all her belongings, her most precious thing that she will never leave.

Xue Chenyu also knew about this.

This time she got another ten taels, and she specifically asked Xue Chenyu for a ten-tael silver note because she could save ten taels.

Putting the handkerchief here, it can be seen that she really likes it.

That night.

Their prince finally summoned her, and Yumei couldn't help but show off her precious baby.

But that’s another story.

……

The people in the mansion had been eating only vegetables and tofu for a few days, with only a few bites of meat, pitifully little, and everyone's faces turned pale from eating too much.

Liu always made the excuse that she was full, but in fact she went back to her room to eat bird's nest.

When bird's nests were plentiful, she asked the kitchen to send some to Ciwenyuan, but she kept it and was reluctant to drink it.

The quality of the bird's nests in the mansion has been getting worse and worse recently. She doesn't like them and only eats the ones hidden in her own yard.

But if you eat like this every day, the stock will be consumed too quickly.

If this continues, it will be gone in less than half a month, and she will have to find a way to replenish it quickly.

After breakfast.

Liu then sent Mother Huang to Furongju.

This time, Xue Chenyu did not do things perfunctorily as she did in the past. She had Yuzhu prepare things long ago and invited the guest in politely.

When Mother Huang saw the attitude of the people in Furongju, she thought that Xue Chenyu's attitude had softened because Liu's previous determination not to let her hand over the housekeeper's power had successfully won Xue Chenyu's favor, and she felt more confident of winning.

however.

She couldn't see Xue Chenyu at all.

After Yuzhu brought her in, she took her to the small reception hall and served her tea and snacks.

Mother Huang drank tea all morning and was almost full, but she still couldn't see Xue Chenyu. She became anxious and asked, "When will the Madam get up?"

She had to complete the task before she could go back and report.

"Mother Huang originally came to see my daughter. I thought Mother Huang came here to have tea." Yuzhu, who had just come in from outside, was stunned when she heard this, with a look of confusion on her face.

Mother Huang’s face turned green: What if the old lady heard this?

She was determined to scold herself profusely: "Is there no tea left in Ciwenyuan? Do you have to go somewhere else to eat and drink for free?"

So Mother Huang quickly said, "Miss Yuzhu, you misunderstood. I'm here to see Madam. Is Madam awake?"

Yuzhu nodded and said, "Madam got up very early and has already gone out."

Huang's mother shrugged when she heard this, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

She had been sitting there for nothing this morning.

Yuzhu rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You didn't ask, though. How would I have known that Madam Huang wanted to see my daughter about something? I treated you to delicious tea and snacks, and instead you complained."

Mother Huang was so annoyed by her that she couldn't say a word.

Because she found that she really didn't say it.

Normally, you have to negotiate at the door before coming here, but it’s not the case today.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Yuzhu came out. They greeted each other and Yuzhu politely invited her in for tea.

At this point, Mother Huang also realized that she was being made fun of.

It just so happens that I'm in the wrong, so I have no reason to get angry.

"Where did the lady go? When will she be back? I came here on the orders of the old lady. I have something important to tell you."

Yuzhu shook her head innocently. "Madam only took Qiuhua and Dongyue out without telling us where they were going. Why don't you wait here for Madam to come back?"

"But if it's about purchasing for the mansion, you can just ask Lord He directly."

Mother Huang widened her eyes: Am I crazy?

She has been waiting here for the whole morning. If she doesn't go back, the old lady will definitely skin her alive.

Wait, what did Yuzhu just say?
