When the sun rose, Ah Ru and Ah Hao moved a box into the yard.
"What are you doing?" Qi Yue asked, "Be careful, you two little kids, don't break your hands."
As she spoke, she watched the two of them stagger as they walked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them.
"Young madam, please take a rest quickly." Ah Hao said.
In the end, the three of them slowly placed the box on the stone table in the yard.
"The weather is nice today, let's dry out our clothes." Aru said with a smile, "When the young master comes back, the young lady can wear them."
Ever since hearing the news that the crown prince will be back next month, Aru has been laughing even in his dreams.
Qi Yue reached out and pressed her forehead, feeling really sad.
Here Ah Hao opened the box, Qi Yue looked over and couldn't help but let out an ooh.
"It's so beautiful!" She reached out and touched it with a look of amazement on her face. There were sets of clothes neatly stacked in the box, and the gold needles and silver threads shone in the sunlight.
This is clothes? This is obviously a work of art!
"These are the dowry given by the old lady to the young lady." A'ru said with a nostalgic look on her face, "There are still some in the warehouse. The old lady gave the young lady a separate warehouse, which contains all the things she has accumulated..."
"A separate warehouse?" Qi Yue said in surprise.
Aru nodded.
"Young madam, you have forgotten. I still remember that when the old madam was seriously ill, she asked Mama Sun to take you to see her. I followed her that time. When I think about it now, I still can't open my eyes."
Ah Hao sighed with an exaggerated expression.
This old Mrs. Hou is really kind to Qi Yueniang. Qi Yue sighed in her heart. It's really strange. How could she be so kind to this beggar she picked up halfway? If she wanted to show compassion and kindness when she was alive,
Such a good name, good food, good drinks and good food, but also considering the posthumous affairs, not only arranged the marriage, but also left so many belongings, this is really just such a heart-breaking work for the parents.
.
Could it be the illegitimate daughter of this old Mrs. Hou? That’s not right, the age doesn’t match...
"Young Madam, is it better to wear this or this one when the time comes?" Aru asked with a frown as she looked at the clothes.
"This one is good. This bright red one is most suitable for the young lady." Ah Hao said, "And then it will be paired with a big phoenix hairpin... By the way, the old lady left a big gold hairpin with nine phoenixes and pearls in the warehouse...
"
The lively conversation between the two interrupted Qi Yue's reverie. Looking at the energetic smiles of the two girls, she shook her head and put away those messy thoughts. No matter what it was like in the past, just live well now.
"What kind of person is your prince?" She sat down and asked.
"Your Majesty..." Ah Hao, who had always been talkative, was the first to speak again, but he stumbled a bit after opening his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.
Huh? Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, having a question.
"Your Majesty is a very nice person, but he is a bit naughty...but..." Ah Hao said hurriedly, "But that was when I was a child. Boys are usually naughty when they are young. Your Majesty is now so old that he has long stopped being like that.
Already."
"Oh," Qi Yue said in a long tone.
A Ru on the side thought of the third young master for some reason.
"The Crown Prince is just a little short-tempered, but he is actually a very nice person." She interjected, "The Crown Prince has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he has a tough temper. Young Madam, don't be afraid of the Crown Prince. In fact, he is actually very talkative..."
Qi Yue nodded and understood. From the few words of these two girls, they could already outline a wealthy young man who was domineering and arrogant.
What should we do? Are we really going to be husband and wife with this prince? Qi Yue felt a chill.
Seeing Qi Yue's heavy expression, Ah Ru and Ah Hao looked at each other.
"Sister, you see that the young lady is very worried. Actually, I am a little worried too..." Ah Hao couldn't help but whisper.
"What are you worried about? There is nothing to worry about! Don't think wildly! The young lady is the wife of the Crown Prince Ming Yuan. You are not allowed to think wildly." Aru immediately interrupted her and said in a low voice.
Ah Hao glanced at her, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Sister, actually, you are also thinking wildly," she muttered.
In order to celebrate the return of the crown prince, all the masters and slaves in the mansion made new clothes. After half a month of hard work, the clothes were ready, and the fruits, monthly money, and new clothes were given out. This was the happiest time for the slaves and slaves in the mansion, especially those who depended on these to make a living.
The low-level girls, who could easily get rewards and other benefits, were running around calling friends to see when it would be their turn to receive clothes.
"These little hooves have never run so fast before..." the older maids said with a smile, looking at the little girls holding clothes and bags in front of them.
The clothes for the young lady and aunt were naturally sent specially by someone. After the masters had finished delivering them, it was the servants' turn to receive the clothes.
"The materials used this time are very good. I heard it is the most fashionable in the capital."
"There was also a box of silk flowers in each yard..."
The girls were talking and laughing, and suddenly they saw a girl standing by the roadside outside a yard and wanted to visit.
"Hey, look." One girl bumped her hand against the other and whispered, "Okay..."
The other girl looked over, with a hint of sarcasm on her face. She winked, and the older girls raised their heads and walked over quickly. They didn't seem to see Ah Hao and bumped into Ah Hao hard.
Ah Hao saw them coming, but he didn't expect the road to be so wide. As they approached, they bumped into each other. They were knocked back a few steps and stepped on the grass. It had just rained last night. Suddenly, they were muddy and even the skirt was stained.
.
"What are you doing?" Ah Hao shouted angrily, lifting up her skirt.
"Oh, dear sister, I'm sorry, we didn't see it." Several girls said with smiles.
"Are you blind?" Ah Hao asked angrily, "Xiaozhuan, Xiaocui, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the tallest girl glared.
"Why are you scolding people?" she said with an aggrieved look.
"If you scold me, it's you who are scolding me." Ah Hao shouted with eyes wide open, raising his feet to wipe the mud on those girls.
Several girls shouted to hide, and the little girls holding clothes and bags also ran back when they heard it, and the road suddenly became lively.
"What are you doing?" Several women came over from a distance and shouted immediately when they saw it.
Aru who was in the yard also heard the noise and ran out.
"What are you doing?" The women approached with anger on their faces, "You are the ones causing the trouble in the yard? Get out of the yard and make enough trouble!"
"Mom, yes." Ah Hao hummed and said.
"Mom, it's Sister Ah Hao who scolded us and wanted to beat us..." the three girls rushed to say.
"Hey, why don't you tell me why I scold you?" Ah Hao said angrily.
Aru reached out and held her.
The woman glanced at Ah Hao from bottom to top.
"I don't care what your reasons are, I just know that girls are not allowed to cause trouble in this yard." She said calmly.
"Yes, mom, we were wrong." The three girls immediately knelt down and said.
As soon as they knelt down, the little girls who followed naturally also knelt down. Suddenly, only Ahao and Aru were left standing.
"Why, dear girl, do you think what I, an old woman, said is wrong?" The woman looked at her and said with a smile.
"What are you doing? You want me to kneel down?" Ah Hao asked blankly.
"What? Miss Ahao, are you saying that I have no control over you?" the woman asked with a smile.
"I'm not wrong, they hit me first..." Ah Hao said angrily.
Aru reached out and held her.
"Mama Liu," she looked at the woman and smiled, "it is what it is, don't go too far."
Mother Liu smiled.
"Yes, I just took this job, and I have a higher status than the two girls. But since I am in charge of the rules of the inner courtyard, I can't mess with them." She said with a serious face, "What I did was wrong and I was wronged.
Girl, I will go to the madam to resign from this job."
Go to the eldest lady...
Ah Ru bit her lower lip and turned to look at Ah Hao.
"Kneel down and admit your mistake." She whispered.
Although Ah Hao was not convinced, he still listened to Ah Ru and knelt down.
The woman's face softened slightly.
"Ahao girl said it was Xiaozhuan and the others who offended you first, so they shouldn't have done it themselves. They should have come and told us, and we would naturally punish them. If they were all like you, if you offend me, I will hit you, and you will hit me.
If I beat you and the girls mess around together, what will happen, don't you think?" the woman said kindly.
Ah Hao sneered.
Yes and no, that's how the other girls were fighting, but if a girl of her status, Ah Hao, was bumped into by these girls, she should have slapped her hand, and then the woman in charge would come,
He nodded and bowed and then slapped these girls...
Rules, the rules of Dingxihou Mansion are always to follow the rules or not. If you do not follow them, it is a big mistake.
After the woman finished speaking, she saw that both parties were obedient, and there was a bit of satisfaction on their faces.
"Why don't you hurry up and take your clothes back? My aunt is still waiting. It's not like you have free time to wander around. Go back and try it on. The tailors are still waiting to repair the clothes that don't fit." The woman frowned again and looked at Xiaozhuan.
Wait for some girls to shout.
The Xiao Zhuan characters immediately said yes, got up and walked away quickly with a huff.
"Girl, don't blame me for being unfair. Let them get up and go. The eldest lady has said that they will straighten out their clothes today. These girls are in a hurry to do things. They are not as leisurely as you, girl..." The woman
She said with a smile. Before she finished speaking, she heard a shout from Qiutong Courtyard.
"Aruahhao, where did you all die? Who can do so much work?" Qi Yue waved her handkerchief and walked out. When she saw this place, she said, "Oh, what are so many people gathering here for?
?”
She held on to the doorframe and looked over with a half-smile. (To be continued)
