Xiao Yanli left Baifeng City that night and headed to Yuejing City.
The one who arrived one day faster than him was Xiao Muting's flying pigeon letter. After receiving the news, Xiao Muping immediately arranged for someone to learn about the current situation of the Weiyuan Escort Agency.
He also invited Xu Guisheng, the official name of the escort agency, who was over fifty years old and a private school gentleman, to the Yamen. It was rumored that the prefect of the city invited Mr. Xu to discuss political affairs.
Early the next morning, an ordinary carriage drove in from the Baifeng City Gate. When the carriage arrived at a street intersection in front of Prince Chen's Mansion, it turned into an alley and stopped.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl got out of the car. She was dressed in coarse cloth and her hair was wrapped in a coarse cloth. Her face was delicate and fair, but her expression was very cold, especially her eyes, which showed a coldness.
The driver, also a young man under twenty, took out a basket from the carriage and handed it to her: "Go back quickly, I'll wait for you here."
"I know, why are you so verbose now?" the woman said impatiently.
The man grinned calmly: "You'd better be careful yourself. I heard that King Chen and his wife have returned. Don't let anyone catch them. How will you explain to the master then?"
The woman rolled her eyes at him again: "How to explain is my business, not yours."
The man turned his head helplessly and sighed secretly, turned around and jumped on the carriage. Before leaving, he said: "Just do your job and don't be too wild. A pheasant can never become a phoenix."
The woman glared at him angrily, but he drove away without even looking at her.
And she could only stand there and stamp her feet, looking at the carriage going away and saying harshly: "We'll see, there's nothing I can do that I want to do. Whether I can become a phoenix is not yours alone."
The driver has the final say, huh!"
After she turned out of the alley, she walked straight to the opposite side of the street. First she ate a bowl of noodles in a small noodle shop, then went to a noodle shop in front to buy some embroidery thread, carrying a basket and shopping again.
After two streets, he turned towards the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion and skillfully turned towards the side entrance of the mansion.
She stood in front of the door, straightened her clothes, and pulled a few strands of hair from her forehead. She looked a little downcast, and then she reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
Immediately the door was opened, and a boy looked at him: "Who are you looking for?"
"Brother, I'm here to visit my sister. Her name is Yunzhu, and she is a servant serving Princess Chen. Could you please help me to pass the news? Thank you for your help!" the woman said in a good voice with a friendly smile.
.
The boy looked her up and down with a pair of contemptuous eyes, and then asked: "You are Yunzhu's sister, but how did I hear that her sister died long ago? Where did you come from?
of?"
"Brother, are you kidding? My cousin is also a younger sister. My father is sister Yunzhu's biological uncle." The woman smiled on her face, but there was a flash of coldness in her eyes.
"It turns out it's my cousin. Then come in and wait. I'll call her for you." After a gentle tap, the boy stepped out of the door and invited him in.
After the woman thanked him again, she followed him through the door and was taken to a small courtyard not far away. The waiter pointed to the corridor on the side: "You can wait inside, or you can wait there.
Wait inside the house, there is water on the table, you can help yourself, I will give you a message right now, but don’t wander around, the house is big, don’t let you get lost again.”
"I know the rules, don't worry, you won't wander around. Just wait here, thank you." The woman smiled happily at him again.
The boy then turned around and walked out. After the woman saw him leaving, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, her cold eyes reappeared, and she immediately started observing the small courtyard. She felt that there was no one in the courtyard.
After the others, he turned around and walked towards the room in the courtyard. After entering the room, he observed carefully again. After finding nothing unusual, he sat at the table in the room and stared at the courtyard door opposite.
She is also quite strange. Yunzhu was a little reserved when he first met her, but when he learned that she was a cousin, he immediately became enthusiastic. It can be seen that she still recognizes her relatives, but she is too strict.
Ever since she got to know her, she was really kind to her. She was able to leave the things assigned to her in the palace to this cousin, and even stuffed money into her hands. However, when she was inquiring about the situation in the palace, she used all kinds of words.
They talked about different topics, and I don’t know if she really meant it or not, but she didn’t mention it at all.
Although the master said that she should not be too hasty with this Prince Chen's Mansion, but she was in a hurry. She still wanted to complete this task immediately and then return to the master. She no longer wanted to act ugly and poor here, now
The clothes she was wearing disgusted her to the extreme.
Thinking of this, she slightly curled her lips, stretched out her feet to look at the worn-out embroidered shoes, and then immediately retracted them under her coarse cloth skirt to hide them.
She had thought about it. If she couldn't get this person named Yunzhu, she would use tricks to get her away. She was not afraid that if she didn't tell the truth about the house, she would kill him without anyone noticing.
Yes.
At this moment, Yunzhu hurriedly walked in with a small bundle in her hand. After entering the courtyard, she looked around. When she saw the woman sitting in the main room, she immediately raised her smile and called softly.
He shouted: "Xiao Mei!"
The woman immediately stood up and ran out of the house with great enthusiasm and shouted: "Sister..."
Yunzhu immediately stretched out his hand to stop her: "Xiao Mei, don't run..."
"Why?" the woman stopped and asked with a puzzled look.
Yunzhu walked slowly towards her and said: "This is Prince Chen's Mansion. The rules are very strict. People in the manor are not allowed to run around unless there is an emergency. It is unbecoming. We sisters are talking inside the house."
Yunzhu smiled gracefully and stepped forward to hold her hand and took her back into the house.
"Sister, I haven't seen you in the past few days. Why does it seem that your income has been reduced? Are you being bullied in this big mansion?" Xiaomei asked with concern.
Yunzhu's face was indeed not very good-looking. She smiled reluctantly and shook her head: "How can anyone bully your sister and me? After all, my sister is an old man in this mansion. She caught the cold the day before yesterday. Fortunately, the princess is in the mansion.
I prescribed some medicine, and I feel much better today, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to see me.”
Xiaomei immediately held her hand and said with concern: "Sister, is it because she is too tired from work that she fell ill?"
"What's the matter? Don't make random guesses. Take a look at what my sister brought you today. The cream last time was very useful. It was prepared by my princess herself. All the maids in the palace have it. Everyone said it was very useful.
Okay." Yunzhu said and opened the baggage.
"It's easy to use, it's really easy to use." Xiao Mei immediately nodded with a smile, staring at the baggage, and saw that there were only two small porcelain bottles, a pair of new embroidered shoes, and a light pink brocade dress.
, slaves cannot wear it, and even some ladies from wealthy families may not be able to wear it.
Yunzhu picked up a porcelain bottle, opened it, poured some out, and stretched out his hand to smear on her face: "This one is better. It was just prepared by the princess yesterday. It is very moisturizing. After applying it, the face will be more moisturizing."
Smooth and white..."
Xiaomei asked: "Sister, this dress is..."
"These are the new clothes that the princess ordered for all the slaves in the house before the autumn. My sister has never worn them, so leave them to her." Yunzhu smiled and nodded at her.
"This, this material is so, so good..." Xiao Mei sighed, stroking it with her hands, envy flashing in her eyes.
"The princess loves us people in the palace very much and thinks of us everywhere. However, there are some people who insist on causing trouble for her and making trouble for her, so that the princess has no time to relax for a moment. Do you think this kind of people deserve to die?"
Yunzhu stared at her with cold eyes.
Xiaomei's attention was all on this dress, and she unconsciously said: "You deserve to die!"
"So you know!" Yunzhu said coldly.
When Xiaomei came back to her senses, she found that Yunzhu had already stood up, and beside her, there were two girls wearing the same clothes as her. She suddenly felt something strange, but she still calmly asked
: "Sister, what do you mean?"
"What do you think!" Yunlan smiled slightly at her.
