The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(40)

Yao Niang felt that she shouldn't get up to wash the bedding at this time, which was simply a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. But it was too late to say anything, so she could only squat there and continue washing under everyone's curious and surprised eyes. Xiangcao and several other little girls wanted to help her, but she refused.

Others may not know, but as long as she thought about asking others to wash that kind of thing, she felt like she was going to die.

After finally washing it, Zhao Pozi came out to help her wring out the water. This thing was too big, and Yao Niang alone couldn't do it.

"It's a good weather, so I'll finish it in the middle of the morning."

Yao Niang thanked Zhao Pozi and went back to her room.

It was also the time when everyone usually got up, and the small courtyard gradually became lively.

Yao Niang was absent-minded all morning until Xiangcao came to find her.

Because Xiangcao was looking for Yao Niang to talk about something, Yao Niang said something to Yucui and took her to her room.

"Nanny Su, I have inquired about what you want to do. I have a little sister whose brother works as a groom in our mansion. He goes back home every two months. He has to pass through Linyun County to go back to Hongyuan County. It's not a big problem for him to bring things back for you."

Yao Niang was a little surprised: "Thank you, Xiangcao. But will this be too much trouble for others?"

Xiangcao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's not a big trouble, just a casual help. Besides, you are the nurse of the little princess. Just go out and say something, and there will be many people to do this."

Xiangcao didn't think so, but Yao Niang couldn't get used to it.

Because she wanted to bring things home in her previous life, but she couldn't find anyone to help. This was due to her unfamiliarity with the situation in the mansion, and her bad popularity in the mansion. Everyone avoided her like a snake and scorpion, so naturally no one wanted to deal with her. Later, she became the concubine of King Jin, and the princess was willing to give her face, so there were more people fawning on her.

Unexpectedly, in this life, she was just the little princess's wet nurse, and there were so many people rushing to do things for her. Yao Niang couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are so unpredictable.

While sighing, Yao Niang also felt the difference. After all, it was because she was not upright in her previous life. Even if she was favored, no matter how much the servants flattered her, they still felt that she relied on her foxy means to get to the top. They despised and hated her.

This is probably the fundamental difference between taking shortcuts and supporting yourself with your own hands.

"By the way, Nanny Su, I forgot to tell you. Brother Zhou Sheng will go back this afternoon. If you have anything to bring back, prepare it quickly." Xiangcao's voice broke Yao Niang's meditation.

Yao Niang came back to her senses.

She didn't expect it to be so urgent, but she was also very happy thinking that her family might receive her things in the next two days. She hurried to prepare, and Xiangcao told her to come to her after lunch, so she went back to the kitchen.

Yao Niang packed a bag of things, and then went back to the small building to work, thinking about what to bring back.

She only had fifteen taels of silver left, and she planned to take it all back, as well as the clothes that King Jin rewarded her. She and her sister are about the same size, so if she can wear them, her sister can definitely wear them. Those two clothes are of good quality, and her sister can wear them when she goes out or visits relatives.

There are also two clothes she made for Xiao Bao, which were made of the remaining fabrics she made for the little princess last time. Mu Ma said that the remaining fabrics would be given to her, so she made clothes for Xiao Bao.

They are all regular clothes, and she had prepared them long ago.

But she still felt that it was not enough, and she wanted to take back everything she could take out, so that she could feel at ease.

After lunch, seeing that the little princess fell asleep, Yao Niang asked for leave from Yu Yan to find Xiang Cao, and asked her to take her to find the person who helped to bring the things.

Xiang Cao took Yao Niang to the side gate of the palace, and Zhou Sheng was already waiting there.

He was not very old, about twenty years old, with dark skin, tall and solid figure, and he looked like an honest young man.

The weather was hot and the sun was at its strongest. This man didn't know how to find a place to hide from the sun, so he stood in the sun. He could be seen sweating from a distance.

Xiangcao smiled helplessly at Yao Niang and ran over: "Brother Zhou Sheng, why are you standing here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Zhou Sheng wiped his sweat and smiled at Xiangcao, saying: "It's not long since I got here. I was afraid that you wouldn't see me when you came, so I didn't move. By the way, is this Nanny Su?" Looking at Yao Niang who was walking towards him, Zhou Sheng hesitated.

There was a touch of surprise in his eyes.

In the sun, Yao Niang's skin was white and translucent, and it exuded a kind of bright light under the sunlight. Zhou Sheng was used to rolling around in a group of men. The women he could see were either some old women or rough maids. Where had he seen such a woman?

Let alone how the other person looks, Zhou Sheng was amazed by the fair skin alone. It was a softness and tenderness that he had never touched before.

When the other person came closer, Zhou Sheng lowered his head with a blushing face. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so no one questioned the blush on his face.

"Mrs. Su. This is Brother Zhou Sheng."

Yao Niang smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I am really troubling you."

"No trouble, no trouble, not at all." Zhou Sheng giggled and scratched his head. "What do you want to bring home? Drag it to me, and I will definitely send it back for you." He patted his chest to promise.

Yao Niang handed him the bundle in her hand and said, "It's nothing, just some silver and a few clothes."

She repeated the words she wanted to bring and the detailed address of the Yao family twice, and only stopped after making sure Zhou Sheng remembered them.

"Anyway, thank you, Brother Zhou. Here is a little silver. Just treat it to tea." Yao Niang took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhou Sheng's hand.

Zhou Sheng refused as if he was burned, "That's not possible, Nanny Su, you are too polite, I really don't need it." As he said that, he was afraid that Yao Niang would continue to stuff him with silver, so he ran away with the bag.

"Nanny Su, don't worry, if your family has anything to say, I will definitely help to bring it." He waved at this place when he was far away.

Yao Niang watched him leave, turned around and said to Xiangcao: "This Brother Zhou is a pretty good person."

"Brother Zhou Sheng is indeed a very good person, you don't know him..."

That time, Yao Niang received the reward from King Jin, so she said she would treat the people in Xiaokuayuan to a drink.

She didn't know how to arrange it, so she gave the silver to Mo Pozi and asked her to help arrange it, and the time was set for today.

In the afternoon, the small kitchen began to prepare.

When it was time for dinner, except for Nanny Wang and Nanny Qian who were on duty, and Nanny Mu who didn't like to join in the fun, everyone who could come to the small courtyard came.

It was the perfect time for the moonlight, and the round moon hung high in the night sky. The courtyard in front of the back house was brightly lit, and three round tables were placed on the open space.

The dishes were very rich, most of which were made with dishes for dinner, and only the meat and wine were made with Yao Niang's money. Therefore, although Yao Niang gave fifteen taels, she only used less than ten taels, and the rest was stuffed into her by Mo Pozi. She said that it was not easy for her to go out to make a living, and she didn't have a man, and she had a baby in her arms, so she could save as much as she could.

Yao Niang didn't say it, but she was actually moved in her heart.

Most of these women didn't know how to drink, and the other little girls didn't care, but Yao Niang, the host who paid for it, let them grab a few glasses.

Yao Niang was not a good drinker, and she was already a little drunk after just a few drinks.

She hurriedly made an excuse to leave, since she had almost finished eating anyway.

She returned to the front from the corner gate. Unlike the lively back room, it was very quiet here. Yao Niang wanted to take a bath, but thinking about the lively back room, she was afraid that she would disturb people's interest if she went there. In addition, there was half a basin of clean water in the basin, which she had just changed in the afternoon, so she wiped her body with cold water, changed her clothes and lay down.

She slept for a while in a daze, and was awakened by thirst. She got off the bed, slipped on her embroidered shoes, and went to the table to drink water.

Just after drinking two sips, she was suddenly hugged from behind.

She turned her head and saw the handsome face of King Jin, and her sleepiness disappeared immediately.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you here?"

"I came just because I wanted to."

"It's late at night, you should go back and rest..."

The next words were automatically scared off by the actions of the King of Jin.

The King of Jin actually went to the bed and sat down, looking like a master.

Yao Niang tried to hold back for several times, but couldn't hold back, "Your Highness, there was a reason for what happened yesterday, so I... And, we said it well yesterday, just once, you can't go back on your word..."

At the end, her voice even had a crying tone.

It was because she was anxious. It was also because Yao Niang had been thinking about this matter for a day, and she always felt that the King of Jin had put such a chain on her, and he would definitely not let her go so easily.

Sure enough!

The King of Jin frowned, "Did I say this?"

Yao Niang was startled, thought about it, and said: "Although you didn't say it, I told you that you didn't say anything at that time." Not speaking means tacit consent, which is the usual character of the King of Jin and Yao Niang's habitual cognition.

The eyes of the King of Jin flashed, "I didn't say anything, which means I didn't agree."

Yao Niang was stunned.

This is just a hooligan, how can he do this!

Chapter 32

Yao Niang stared at the King of Jin, she couldn't believe that he would say such a scoundrel.

But when she looked at the King of Jin again, it seemed that he was not joking.

She was a little anxious, and at the same time she remembered the gold chain on her ankle, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, you are wise and powerful, high and mighty. I am just a widow whose husband died, and I have a son. It's really not worth it, it's really not worth it for you to do this..."
