Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor - Chapter 58
When Yu Laojun came ill, he was very aggressive, but he didn’t expect to recover overnight after lying down for ten days. It’s not that he is cursing Mr. Yu, but Mr. Yu’s illness is strange, and his recovery is getting more and more strange.
But no matter how everyone muttered in their hearts, it was always a happy thing for Laojun to recover from his illness. The ladies of the Yu family have been cautious in their words and deeds for several days, and now that the old gentleman has recovered from his illness, the Yu family can finally talk and laugh loudly.
On November 25th, Yu Qingjia went to greet Mr. Yu as usual, and felt an unusually warm atmosphere as soon as he entered the door. When the maids in the room who were still smiling saw Yu Qingjia, the expressions on their faces froze. The impression Yu Qingjia left on the girls last time was so deep that these maidservants tried to avoid Yu Qingjia as much as possible now when they saw Yu Qingjia.
Yu Qingjia didn’t care about the invisible estrangement of these people at all, and she was not in a hurry to find out what was wrong, she just saluted politely, and then stood aside with her eyes downcast. Sure enough, soon, the people around Mr. Yu couldn’t hold back and said: “Just now the people at the post station sent a letter saying that Lord Dalang has entered the territory of Yanzhou. It’s a pity that it snowed yesterday and prevented Lord Dalang from going on the road. Otherwise, the two The day will come.”
Although Old Master Yu is still holding on to the airs of a patriarch, she approves in her eyes, her expression is relaxed, and even the lines around her mouth seem to have smoothed out a lot. Compared to Mr. Yu, Li’s emotions were much more outwardly expressed. She was very happy, and she tugged on the handkerchief happily, and the maids in the big room were all smiling.
The news came from members of the Yu clan who were officials at the border of Yanzhou, so Yu Qingjia did not receive the notification. But even after hearing it from Old Master Yu, Yu Qingjia was still happy from the bottom of his heart when he learned that his father was coming back soon. It is rare for Mr. Yu to see the first and second householders in harmony here. Old Mr. Yu smiled and listened to the maids kneeling beside him for fun, wrinkles creased at the corners of his eyes. She glanced at Yu Qingjia and said, “I heard that there is only a maid by your side now?”
Yu Qing Jiaxin said that she has been short of manpower for two months, and Mr. Yu didn’t care about it for such a long time, why did she suddenly think of it today? Yu Qingjia snorted inwardly, but on the surface she still had to say obediently: “That’s right, my original maids were left on the road and walked with my father, so I only had two maids by my side when I came back. Later, Yin Ping was taken away by Fourth Sister If I have to leave, I only have silver beads to use.”
Old Master Yu replied indifferently, she didn’t care about anything about the silver vase and silver beads, the names of these two maids didn’t even reach Old Master Yu’s ears. Yu Wenjun is about to come back, if he comes back and finds that there is only one maid serving Yu Qingjia, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain. Old Master Yu frowned, and looked at Yu Qingya: “Si Niang, don’t you have enough manpower or something? How can you ask for someone with your sister?”
“No.” Yu Qingya took a step forward and said first, “Sixth Sister and I were joking. Sixth Sister insisted on giving me the maid, but I declined a few times. Seeing that Sixth Sister was determined, I reluctantly accepted it. If Sixth Sister My sister said earlier that there are only two people around her, no matter what, I will not want her people.”
Yu Qingjia answered leisurely: “When the fourth sister came over that day, everyone in the second room was standing outside. It was only counted by a slap, but the fourth sister couldn’t count?”
Yu Qingya’s face froze, why is Yu Qingjia’s speech so unpleasant? Doesn’t this insinuate that she can’t even count one and two?
But in front of everyone, Yu Qingya desperately wanted to save face, and she couldn’t turn against Yu Qingjia, so she could only forcefully smile, pretending she didn’t hear it, and continued: “Sixth sister has only one servant girl by her side. You really are, why didn’t you talk to me sooner?” What does this elder sister say? If Sixth Sister doesn’t dislike it, why don’t you take the two servant girls back from me.”
These words are knowledgeable and decent, full of “sister style”, Yu Qingya is very satisfied. She took the initiative to offer her good intentions. If Yu Qingjia refused, she would be ignorant of good and bad. She could just take advantage of the situation and cry and feel wronged with Laojun. If Yu Qingjia held her nose to accept it… wouldn’t these be two natural eyeliners?
Yu Qingya raised her head and looked at Yu Qingjia calmly and firmly. She was so conceited that what she said was perfect, I’m afraid Yu Qingjia would not be able to catch it no matter what. Before this thought came to an end, Yu Qingya saw Yu Qingjia tilt her head and smile at her, and blinked livelyly: “What if I don’t like it?”
Yu Qingya’s newly adjusted “princess smile” froze suddenly, and the expression on her face looked a little funny. Yu Qingjia seemed amused by her nondescript appearance, Yu Qingjia snorted and said, “I was joking with Fourth Sister.”
Yu Qingya wanted to get angry at that moment, but she held back her anger. He was joking, whoever wants to joke with her. Could it be that this vixen seduced King Langya in the previous life?
Yu Qingjia felt very happy after teasing Yu Qingya, but unfortunately only she was happy, and everyone else was very stiff. Mrs. Li forced a smile, and said: “Liu Niang really likes to joke. It’s just that women should be respectful, wanton jokes will only make people look down on them.”
Not to mention Yu Qingjia’s remarks, even Old Master Yu, a half-old man, couldn’t stand it. Mr. Yu’s background is not bad, and he has been in power for most of his life, so his vision is much broader than Li’s. Yu Laojun wondered how she could have missed her at the beginning and ordered such a pedantic thing for her eldest grandson. The class ladies who wrote the women’s precepts have been promoted step by step in and out of the palace, and they have lived a peaceful and smart life. Why didn’t Mrs. Li learn something well, but just copy it mechanically? The female ring is a weapon in the hands of everyone in the class, but it has completely become a shackle when it comes to Mrs. Li.
Old Master Yu didn’t want to listen any more. She drooped her eyes, and although her voice was not high, no one dared to speak as soon as she uttered it: “Okay, let’s not say a few words. My Yu family is not a run-down family, so it’s not too bad. I can’t afford to buy maids, so let my younger sister and older sister borrow them. Tomorrow, I will call the matchmaker into the mansion, and Liu Niang will choose two by herself.” After finishing speaking, Old Master Yu looked at the others, and said, “The New Year is approaching, and there are places in the mansion that need people. There are many, if you are short of manpower, let’s pick together tomorrow.”
Yu Qingjia stood up straight with the others, saluted and said, “Yes.”
Old Master Yu said that the people below were very efficient in handling things. Early the next morning, when Yu Qingjia had just finished her breakfast, the concierge came to invite her.
The prostitute is a three-way, difficult to enter the elegant hall, so naturally she can’t stand on the boundary of the Yu family’s back house. The prostitute brought a young and bright “good guy” into the side door of Yu’s house, and waited in a courtyard dedicated to receiving miscellaneous people. Yu Qingjia heard that people were already waiting, she was about to get up after wiping her hands, but Murong Yan, who was usually very estranged, also stood up.
Yu Qingjia looked at him in astonishment, but Murong Yan didn’t move his eyebrows and glanced at her lightly: “Why?”
“It’s okay.” Yu Qingjia shook her head, “I just can’t imagine that you are still so enthusiastic.”
When Murong Yan went out, he naturally put on the curtain again, and when the two of them reached Kuayuan, they were about to enter the door, when suddenly there was an impatient shout from behind: “Wait a minute!”
Yu Qingya hurried over, squeezed past Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan impolitely, and said, “I happen to be short of a maid too, and I’m the elder sister, so I’ll pick it first?”
Although Yu Qingya was asking a question, she didn’t intend to refer to Yu Qingjia’s answer, and hurriedly looked around the yard without waiting for Yu Qingjia’s response, as if she was looking for someone. Yu Qingjia’s eyelids twitched, and she immediately understood what Yu Qingya wanted to do.
Not only did she use all means to **** away the accountant last time, but now she wants to **** Yu Qingjia’s future maid? Thanks to Yu Qingya, Yu Qingjia now knows that she should buy a confidant maid today, and she is extremely capable.
Yu Qingjia was very upset, being taught to speak was a very annoying thing, and Yu Qingya’s eating behavior was even more annoying. Yu Qingjia’s complexion was not very good, but in front of the matchmaker and the girls, she didn’t want outsiders to see the joke. Yu Qingjia couldn’t help being angry, she turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened like accusations, and she grabbed Murong Yan’s sleeve in aggrieved way: “Look at her!”
The tone of this complaint was natural, and a white jade-like hand stretched out from the curtain fence, and gently pressed the back of Yu Qingjia’s hand: “It’s okay, you can go and see again.”
really all right? Yu Qingjia turned her head suspiciously, just in time to see Yu Qingya pointing at a person happily, and said, “It’s her, come with me.”
Well, from Yu Qingya’s tone, it was obvious that she had already found the capable maid who was next to Yu Qingjia in her previous life. Yu Qingya took the lead in buying Bailu, the powerful maid who followed Yu Qingjia for many years and even married into the palace with her. Brave and careful, Bai Lu was Yu Qingjia’s most important right-hand man in her previous life. Although Yu Qingjia still trusted Bai Zhi and the others, some important matters had already been handed over to Bai Lu. Yu Qingya had always been aggrieved in her previous life, why hadn’t she trained such a capable maidservant after raising her for many years, why did Yu Qingjia just buy one from the old woman, and she picked it up as a treasure?
Yu Qingya was extremely unwilling in her previous life. She had been reborn for too long in this life, and she would have forgotten about it. It was only when she met Zhang Xian yesterday that Yu Qingya suddenly remembered that this was the time in her previous life. Yu Qingjia bought Bailu from outside the house.
After Yu Qingya figured it out, she rushed to **** her in a hurry. Fortunately, she was the one who was the first to recognize Bai Lu’s face in the crowd, and asked to buy it. After Bai Lu was tapped, she seemed to be petrified by such a huge surprise, and followed behind Yu Qingya stupidly. Yu Qingya was arrogant, and deliberately took people to show off in front of Yu Qingjia: “Sixth sister, what a coincidence, my sister has already picked out the one I like from among the girls. After all, she is a folk girl. Except for this one, I think the others are all stupid. .oops!”
Yu Qingya covered her lips as if she had slipped her tongue, her eyes widened, and her tone should be as exaggerated as possible: “I didn’t mean that, Liu Mei, you pick slowly, you can always pick the good ones.”
Yu Qingjia didn’t even want to give her a look, Yu Qingya was very proud, and winked at Yu Qingjia as she walked by: “Sixth sister, take your time, I’ll go first.”
Bai Lu followed behind Yu Qingya fearfully the whole time, with the uneasy appearance of a country girl who is stepping up to the sky. Bai Lu walked out with Yu Qingya, and when she passed by Yu Qingjia, she seemed to glance in Yu Qingjia’s direction quickly.
When they walked away, Yu Qingjia leaned towards Murong Yan: “That’s what you said, all right?”
“There’s so much nonsense.” Murong Yan stretched out his hand, and lightly touched Xia Yu Qingjia’s forehead, “Be patient.”
Yu Qingjia deeply felt that she was deceived by Murong Yan, and now she was going to be beaten by him, and she was very wronged. But now that we are here, we always need to add manpower, and the young maids for selection stand neatly in two rows, silently being judged by others. Yu Qingjia walked through the queue slowly, and found that one of them had regular facial features and neat clothes. He hadn’t looked around since he entered the door, and he had a calm demeanor. Among the women, Yu Qingjia was the only one who was satisfied with this, so she stopped in front of her and asked, “Who is your name and how old is this year?”
“This slave is seventeen years old. He was sold by his uncle and aunt. He has no name. Please give me a name.”
Yu Qingjia had a brief understanding of the woman’s background and life, and seeing that there was nothing suspicious, she said, “Then are you willing to follow me?”
The woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed: “Your servant’s luck.”
The girls next to them all cast envious and jealous eyes. The Yu family is a well-known family in Gaoping County. They can stay in the Yu family to work, and the master who follows is such a kind, beautiful and serious Miss Yu. They all thought she was flying into the sky.
Yu Qingjia saw the embroidery on the corner of the woman’s clothes, and said: “Your clothes are embroidered with hibiscus, and it happens that the maids around me all start with white characters, so let’s call you Bai Rong.”
Bai Rong kowtowed, thank you.
Bai Rong walked out with low eyebrows and followed Yu Qingjia in small steps. After she stood firmly, she slightly raised her eyes to look at the square fence in front of her.
Bai Rong remembered that just now in the queue, when Bai Lu was first selected by Yu Qingya, the two silently exchanged a shocked look. Bai Rong and Bai Lu have different family backgrounds, ages, and encounters. They come from all over the world, and they should have been completely unknown before today. But in fact, when Bai Rong and Bai Lu exchanged glances, they cooperated very tacitly.
Bai Rong remembered the instruction in the secret order: “You two come in together, if there is any change, one of you will leave and the other will stay.”
When Bai Rong and Bai Lu first received this secret letter, they didn’t understand, so, what does it mean, my lord? What does change mean? But today, when everything happened, Bai Rong suddenly realized, and it became logical again.
So it turned out that the son had expected it a long time ago. Bai Rong followed behind Yu Qingjia, her head was bowed, but her back was straight. This was not because she was disrespectful to her new master, but because she was nervous.
Because Murong Yan, the young master of Langya who lived in the legend, was wearing a curtain and stood two steps away from her.
