I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Went to visit Fu Niang, and went to Liu Yiniang's room to play with Brother Ming for a while—now Liu Yiniang's attitude towards Hui Niang is much warmer and more attentive, even compared to when Hui Niang first came to Beijing Even better, when Anise said she was going to leave, she tried her best to persuade her to stay in her room, wishing that Anise would stay in her room all afternoon—at least, she would stay for lunch.

Although Hui Niang likes Brother Ming's innocence and cuteness, she doesn't like Liu Yiniang very much. After sitting for a long time, he got up and left.

Back at the Eastern Side Courtyard, Hui Niang immediately called Ban Xia, "Elder Sister's marriage is about to be fixed, although I don't know when it will be, but I may not be free when the time comes, I still have to prepare this gift in advance That's good."

Ban Xia promised: "Hey, I'll prepare right now - with the girl's current status, no matter what you give, it's just to add luster to the big girl, and the girl doesn't have to push herself too much."

Hui Niang nodded, raised her hand to cover a small yawn, and said with a smile, "When is lunch? I'm usually very busy, but today I suddenly feel so tired that even a little socializing is too tiring. Hurry up." After lunch, take a peaceful nap, get up and finish the sewing that I want to give to my father—it’s time to go to the old lady’s house.”

"It's said that I'm free. Didn't the girl arrange a lot of things for herself?"

"There are so many things, what can I do?" Hui Niang was also a little helpless, "Do you think I want to? Usually when you are in front of Nanny Shang, you are physically tired, but today you feel that your mind is also very tired."

Ban Xia pursed her lips and laughed for a while, then turned around and went out and called the little maid Gou Qi to ask, "Lian Qiao went to get lunch, why hasn't she come back?"

Hui Niang was sitting on the kang, listening to the movement outside the house, leaning on the big pillow in a daze.Not to mention good or bad, the life events of the wife have changed, so what about her life events?At the very least, she will definitely not fall into the Chen family again...

***

Nanny Shang stayed at Qin's house until the end of November, and there were a lot of things going on in the palace in the twelfth lunar month, and these old nuns also had to go back to the palace to make arrangements for the New Year.Before leaving, the old lady and Mrs. Wei gave her 100 taels of silver respectively, and Animian also kowtowed to Nanny Shang a few more times in order to thank her for teaching her for the past two months.

"Second Miss is a very smart person." In front of the old lady and Wei Shi, Madam Shang spoke highly of Anise, "She is talented, intelligent, well-behaved, and not too dull. My teachings are just icing on the cake. Forget it. After entering the palace after the first lunar month, the empress must value it, and maybe she can also match the temperament of Her Royal Highness, and that would be a great fortune."

With Mammy Shang's words, the old lady and the Wei family did not dare to neglect Aniang. During the entire twelfth lunar month, except for the routine distribution of the whole family, the rest, whether they were needleworkers or All the buyers are busy with Aniang's affairs.

"Although I was accompanied by the princess, most of the clothes I wore were the things I brought in at home." There were people in the palace, but they knew more. She can speak clearly and logically, but the old lady doesn't know much about the key points, so she simply handed over everything to Wei's arrangement, and she only listened to one general matter, "It's just that it's not easy to get past the princesses, let's just pick those middle and upper class ones. It’s the best material to work on embroidery techniques and colors. And jewelry, try to make small and delicate ones, not eye-catching, but also decent.”

In today's world, no matter pearls or gemstones of various colors, the bigger the more expensive, the smaller and more delicate - the cost of materials is limited, but it is just out of personal wages.

Hui Niang herself didn't expect the Wei family to empty out the family property of the officials because of her, so naturally she wouldn't feel any dissatisfaction.Occasionally hearing Lingniang say a few sarcastic remarks next to her didn't affect her mood at all, and naturally she didn't need to pay attention to it—if the words went too far, Zhiniang would take care of her.

Being so busy, the Qin family was in a bit of a mess throughout the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month. Apart from being busy with the New Year, the old lady, the Wei family, and even Qin Mengyuan would take the time to call Hui Niang over, teach her various ways of doing things by precept and deed, and ensure her After entering the palace, there will be no trouble for the family.

Hui Niang knew that she would definitely be very careful after entering the palace, but this kind of teaching in turn really benefited her a lot.She even learned a lot from Wei Shi - or, she had to admit that among the teachings of the three elders, Wei Shi's teachings were the most practical and useful.

"After entering the palace, you have to be very careful. Princess Rongcheng is the queen's biological daughter. Although people in the palace have always said that she has a good temper and is not spoiled, she has been pampered since she was a child. She is the most honorable girl in the country. No matter how good-tempered you are, you can't provoke it." Wei Shi paused, seeing Anise's nervous face, and then smiled, "But you don't have to be afraid, you will enter the palace to be the companion of the queen's daughter, which is very important to your father. It may not be a good thing to say, but it is naturally good for you. What's more, my sister is a concubine in the palace. Although she may not help you, for my sake, she will not tolerate others easily hurt you."

In Huiniang's heart, the imperial concubine has always been a high-ranking and domineering concubine, and she never thought that she would have any positive meaning for her.But Wei's words were so firm that Hui Niang couldn't help but believe them—of course she wouldn't naively treat the noble concubine as a relative who would protect her, but she also developed a bit of confidence.

The imperial concubine and the empress have been at odds for a long time. Although the relationship between the two has eased a lot on the surface due to the death of Prince Yanping, the conflict over the years will not dissipate just because of the death of a third person.Speaking of which, her identity is still a bit embarrassing, but such an embarrassing identity may still help her find a safe place in the cracks...

Compared with the practical advice Wei Shi gave her, the old lady has a different style.The day before Hui Niang's departure, she invited Hui Niang to go there, and she drove away the others, leaving only Zisu to serve her.

"I don't know as much about the things in the palace as the Wei family." With only the grandparents and the trustworthy Zisu around, the old lady didn't use the hypocritical "your mother" to refer to the Wei family. "The only thing I can give you is that I have prepared 400 taels of silver bills and 100 taels of scattered silver, all of which are handed over to Zisu. When you get to the palace, don't be reluctant to spend the money—although our family didn't spend a lot of money." But since you enter the palace as the princess' companion, then you won't be embarrassed about money. But you don't spend it recklessly, I think, let Zisu follow you into the palace and take care of these finances for you .”

Hui Niang glanced at Zisu, Zisu's face was calm, obviously the old lady's decision was not made today, she already knew about it. "Old lady, Sister Zisu is the most capable maidservant by your side. You have already given Sister Banxia to me. This Sister Zisu..."

"No matter how capable she is, she's still a servant." The old lady interrupted Hui Niang's words, "I value her because she can make me feel at ease when she does things at critical moments. I also know the maids around you, Zou The girl at home is still young, not calm enough, and not very sensible. If such a temper enters the palace, it will easily cause trouble for you, and it will also cause trouble for the family. Take two personal maids to serve you, Ban Xia is too thin to be alone, and Zi Su will follow, then your parents and I can rest assured."

The old lady's decision may sound abrupt, but it was not without warning.Ever since the old lady asked Zisu to accompany Huiniang to go to class in Madam Shang’s small courtyard every day, Huiniang had vaguely guessed that maybe one day, the old lady would let Zisu serve her——for Zisu As far as it is concerned, this is also the best way out.

I just never thought that this day would come so soon.

Rejected once, it would be hypocritical to refuse again.What's more, for Hui Niang at this time, Zisu must be her help, not a hindrance.She also cheered up, "Then the granddaughter has chosen the bosom friend beside the old lady."

"I'm an old lady, what's the point of being my confidant? If I can become your confidant, then the future is boundless." The old lady seemed to be in a good mood, and even made a joke with Huiniang.

However, what the old lady said was right, there were only two maidservants to accompany her into the palace, Ban Xia was definitely going to follow her, and now that Zisu took the other, there was no place for Forsythia.Hui Niang herself still likes the little girl Forsythia, and has already started to think about how to appease her.

Fortunately, Lianqiao is not the kind of ignorant and savage girl. After hearing Aninian explain the whole situation, she immediately said reasonably: "Since it is the old lady's arrangement, then the servant girl can't compete with Sister Zisu for the errand." He was open-minded in speech, but the deep regret in his tone was immediately apparent.

"Help me take care of the house." Hui Niang couldn't help but act like she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, "There are also family affairs, which are not trivial matters. I have one day off every ten days. If you can go back home, you want Just tell me the truth about these things.”

Inquiring about news was originally Lianqiao's hobby, and she also had the convenience of her status. The second housekeeper and his wife would not hide some insignificant matters from their daughter, so they couldn't be better candidates for this job.Lian Qiao immediately cheered up when she got a new job, "Miss, don't worry, this servant must have inquired about all the big and small things in the house, and memorized them clearly, and I will tell the girl when she comes back."

"Then I'll leave it all to you." Hui Niang felt a lot relieved that Lian Qiao could become clear so quickly, she was really afraid that Lian Qiao would resent her and cause a fire in the backyard.

After arranging the affairs of the Eastern Side College, Hui Niang finally heaved a sigh of relief, and could finally rest assured and wait for the arrival of her companionship career.
