When Wanyue and Yinqi returned to the mansion, it was already midnight. Except for the guards who were keeping watch at the door, everyone else had already gone to rest.
After wearing flowerpot-soled shoes for a day, Wanyue's feet were painful and tight. Yinqi was in a good mood. He wanted to follow Yue'er back to Xinuang Pavilion to rest, but Yue'er refused.
He saw Yue'er yawning and knew that she was already sleepy, so he stopped forcing her. It was getting late and he had to go to the palace early in the morning, so he had to go to the study room in the front yard to rest alone.
As soon as Wanyue returned to her room, Yu Zhi rushed to greet her: "My lord, you are back."
As Wanyue moved towards the seat, she looked back at Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, go and see if there is anyone on duty in the dining room. If so, ask them to boil some hot water. I want to take a bath.
"
After saying that, Yu Zhi nodded, hurriedly backed out, and ran towards the dining room.
Grandma Wang's feet were also a little painful. Wanyue yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said to Grandma Wang: "Mammy, you have been out with me for the whole day today. You can go and rest first. I'll let you go later."
Yuzhi serves me."
After hearing this, Grandma Wang felt a little ashamed. The young lady felt sorry for her. If she can persist, she should persist.
"Miss, even though I'm old, I'm not that delicate. Besides, it won't take much time to take care of you."
Wanyue raised her hand to remove the pearls on her head, turned around, glanced at Grandma Wang, and took Grandma Wang's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Mommy, just go and have a rest. I don't need that many people to take care of me. If you keep trying to shirk away from me, I'll be angry!"
Grandma Wang had no choice but to smile, knowing that she could not defeat the young lady, so she had to leave the room and go back to the side room of Xinuan Pavilion to sleep.
Although it was getting late, some lights were still on in various rooms in Baylor Mansion. Yuzhi prepared hot water and poured it into the bath bucket, and put some rose petals in it. Wanyue then undressed.
Take a bath.
Yuzhi scrubbed her very carefully and meticulously, leaving Wanyue's fingers alone, but the tired Wanyue did not pay attention to such small details.
The comfort and relaxation brought by the hot water swept through her whole body, making Wanyue temporarily forget her troubles.
She squinted her eyes, put her hands on both ends of the bathtub, and felt the movements of Yu Zhi's hands very indifferently.
Yuzhi scooped up hot water from the bath bucket and poured it down the back of Wanyue's neck. Then she scrubbed Wanyue's body with a towel dipped in water, and used bath balm to create layers of foam and applied it to Wanyue's body.
On the skin, wipe it, scrub it, wash it and apply it again, repeat the cycle several times before giving up.
After scrubbing, Yu Zhi specially put down Wanyue's hair and combed it.
Wanyue once again felt that the fatigue on her body had been relaxed. After finally drying herself with a towel, Wanyue walked out of the bathtub.
Her body relaxed a lot, and she slept very deeply that night. When she woke up, it was already late.
Fortunately, because Guar Jiayinan was pregnant, there was no need to ask for greetings at a fixed time. Otherwise, Wanyue would definitely be dissatisfied if she got up so late.
Grandma Wang helped her get up and wash up. When she came out, food was already placed on the rosewood table.
Yuzhi stood quietly by the rosewood table. Wanyue glanced at her, and then looked at the steamed buns and rice porridge on the table. Wanyue's face darkened visibly.
"How come the meal has returned to the same as before!" Wanyue's heart skipped a beat. This change in the meal really made her a little overwhelmed.
Yuzhi lowered her head, fearing that the young master would think that she was doing something bad and the kitchen would blame her for treating her like this on purpose. She hurriedly explained: "I asked the kitchen and they said it was ordered by Lord Beile. No meat is allowed in recent meals."
Food."
This meal made Wanyue feel very depressed. When Lord Beile spoke, she had no choice but to make do with it.
Grandma Wang specifically asked Housekeeper Yan to inquire, and then she found out the whole story. It turned out that there had been a flood in the Yellow River recently, and refugees had already entered the capital. Mr. Beile specially deducted the food and drinks from the house in order to have it at the door of the house in a few days.
Cook porridge to help the victims.
Wanyue understands and knows Lord Beile's temperament. In his previous life, Lord Beile often used his own money to give alms to the victims. After all, he has not changed and he still has a strong sense of justice.
Wanyue thought to herself that this was fine, she would only be able to help more people if she could barely survive.
But if there are more silver coins, more victims can be rescued.
Wanyue was deep in thought, remembering that her ninth brother had given her a business plan, but she had not yet followed it, and she felt a little anxious for a moment.
On the day when the Baylor Mansion was giving porridge, Ninth Prince Yinzhen actually came out of the palace to help.
Six pots of porridge were cooked in the dining room, which lasted from noon to noon. The refugees who came to the door of Baylor House to drink porridge finally drank the porridge, and everyone rested.
Wanyue raised her aching arms and looked at the refugees eating porridge beside her. She sighed and was in a daze for a while. She really admired Lord Belle's self-sacrifice for others.
After a while, she felt someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw that it was her ninth brother.
The two were silent for a while. Brother Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "Sister-in-law Fifth, have you finished the business plan I wrote to you last time?"
"This... I haven't found a suitable shop yet..." Wanyue answered hesitantly, without any confidence in her words.
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth sister-in-law, thoughtfully. The expression on her face had betrayed her, and the ninth elder brother was a little crazy.
"Alas! You haven't found a shop yet? Fifth sister-in-law, your speed..."
The ninth elder brother was so angry that the fifth sister-in-law was too unreliable.
Wanyue smiled sheepishly. Brother Jiu saw the fifth sister-in-law making a big smile at him. He was too embarrassed to show his anger, so he could only shake his head and give the fifth sister-in-law a helpless expression.
"Fifth sister-in-law, how much capital do you have?" Brother Jiu asked seriously.
"Just a few hundred taels..." Wanyue sighed and lowered her tone.
Yinqi tilted her ears and eavesdropped on the conversation between her brother Fujin and her ninth brother. She thought about this for a moment, and it seemed that the things she usually rewarded Yue'er were missing.
"A few hundred taels? That's a little..." Brother Ninth's eyes were full of confusion, with a hint of helplessness. It was unreliable, unreliable, so unreliable. This fifth sister-in-law wanted both him and Ninth Brother.
My brother contributes both money and effort!
Wanyue felt guilty. A few hundred taels was already a huge amount of money to her. She didn't expect Ninth Brother to be so unconcerned, "How about Ninth Brother, you take eight floors of the profit...I take two floors."
.”
Brother Jiu and Wanyue looked at each other in surprise. Seeing Brother Wu looking at him and Sister-in-law meaningfully, he had no choice but to nod in frustration.
If it weren't for Fifth Brother, he would never have done such a losing business.
The refugees at the door of Baylor House gradually dispersed after drinking the porridge, and the servants in the house moved all the pots and pans used for serving porridge back to the dining room.
It was still dark for some time, so Brother Ninth bowed to Fifth Belle Yinqi and said, "Brother Five, I want to take Sister-in-law Five to see the shop."
Wanyue's face was also a little shocked. If Ninth Brother said it so bluntly, wouldn't it mean that Master Baylor knew about the business between the two of them?!
Yinqi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he nodded and said, "Well, you two should go early and come back early."
Wanyue glanced at Mr. Beile in astonishment. Seeing that his expression was as usual, she must have known about the business partnership between her and her ninth brother.
She seemed more at ease, and Ninth Brother took Wanyue all the way to Xingsheng Restaurant outside Zhengyang Gate. The waiter in the restaurant had obviously seen Ninth Brother. When he saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Ninth Brother, the prince, is also outstanding among all the elder brothers. He is consistent in everything he does and has a tendency to push the waves ahead.
However, the old man had too many outstanding princes, so it seemed that the ninth brother's qualifications were average.
