Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 14
In the previous life, when Showa went to the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate from illness, Hui Chunyuan followed him to wait on him, but he was called back temporarily on the way. Not long after, a plague broke out in the suburbs of Beijing, and the imperial court ordered the city gates to be closed.
It's been a long time, and Li Taiwei couldn't remember who called Huichun Huifu at that moment.

After killing Xue Shi in her previous life, she had a quarrel with the Li family, and returned to Xiliang disheartened. She did not bring any maids from the Li family, only Dafu was with her.

When I returned to Yanjing, I vaguely heard someone mention that Huichun was allocated to the steward of the farmer...

When Li Taiwei was powerful in his previous life, the old people who came to the door almost broke through the threshold of the princess mansion, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he has never seen Hui Chun again.

Li Taiwei's heart twitched slightly, if Huichun really belonged to the Xue family, it might not have been easy to get him out of his mother's side in time.
Back at Fangfei Garden, Echun greeted her with a smile, helped Taiwei Li to wash and wash, and made fragrant tea for her.

"Sister Nian Xia brought a stranger into the mansion today, looking at her attire like a servant in the palace!"

Huichun picked out three pearl hairpins and placed them on the dressing table in front of Li Taiwei, then turned around and took the round fan, asking casually.

Mrs. Li lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on the fluctuating petals in the tea bowl. After a while, she said:
"Well, Chang Ping heard that his mother was ill, so he chose a maid to serve her with soup and medicine. After a few days, when my mother recovers, it's time to go back. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the palace is full of people."

After saying that, Li Taiwei turned to look over.

"Did you go to deliver cakes to Cousin Xue today?"

Huichun paused for Li Taiwei's fanning hand, thinking of Nianxia who met on the way today, he looked a little uneasy, and said:
"Yes... yes, the second lady brought a lot of cakes last night, and ordered the servants to distribute them in various yards. Seeing that there were some left over, the slave sent some to Banyueju... The slave should not Make the decision without authorization... I beg the princess to make amends..."

Li Taiwei blew on the petals floating on her head, raised her eyes and said:

"Since it's what Second Aunt wants...it's just a few cakes, it's not a big deal, get up."

Only then did Huichun heave a sigh of relief, then she heard Li Taiwei ask:
"How? What can I find out?"

Hua Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly said:

"Nu... I have never seen my cousin, I only heard from Biyun beside her that my cousin fell ill yesterday afternoon, and she has been sleeping on the couch, she didn't even go to the old lady's place, saying yes... said It was caught in the wind and cold..."

Caught a cold?

Li Taiwei picked up a coral row of beads from the dressing table, looked at it in the mirror, and smiled suddenly.

In the next afternoon, Mrs. Li sent someone over, saying that the old lady had just gotten up, thinking that Taiwei Li was tired from the journey these days, so she specially told her not to go to pay her respects in the next few days, so that she could rest well.

Li Taiwei knew in her heart that Nanny Sun must have said a lot of good things for her in front of the old lady, and she was afraid that her grandmother would ask about Showa in person, making it difficult for her to answer, so she urged her to spare her the morning and evening appointment. Province.

Mrs. Li responded with a smile, asked a few more words about her grandmother, and then asked Huichun to send him out of the yard.

After a while, Huichun came in through the curtain and said happily:
"It's still our princess who wins the old lady's favor. The other side of the Qiutang courtyard has never been so respectable!"

Li Taiwei raised her eyes, looked at Huichun fixedly, and said:

"How do you know that the Qiutang Courtyard is not decent?"

"Our eldest room and the second room have always been friendly. Grandmother is generous and never biased in everything. How can we compare? If this word spreads outside, what do you tell outsiders to think about our Li family?"

Huichun was terrified by Li Taiwei's gaze, and the smile froze on his face when he heard the words, it took him a long time to recover, and he said in panic:
"Slave made a slip of the tongue! Princess atones for her crime!"

Li Taiwei retracted his gaze, with a calm expression:
"You are the maid in my room now, so you have to be more cautious in your actions and words. If you make a mistake, you will lose... but my face."

Huichun clutched the handkerchief and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, I must remember what the princess said, and I will never dare to speak nonsense again!"

Li Taiwei nodded slightly, and his tone became a little more relaxed.

"When I came back from Xiliang this trip, my grandmother asked me to bring a jasper Guanyin as a gift to my grandmother. I was in a hurry yesterday, but I forgot about it."

Li Taiwei turned around and looked over:

"You go to Hua'an Hall yourself, send this Jade Guanyin, and talk to grandma for me, and make sure to make her smile."

When Huichun heard this, his eyes lit up.

The princess is flattering her!

How could the things given by the Empress Dowager Xiliang be ordinary things?
If she can say a few flattering words in front of the old lady today, then the reward...

A smile appeared on Huichun's face.

"Princess, don't worry, I will definitely handle the errands well, and I will let the old lady know that our princess has the best intentions."

Li Taiwei also bent the corner of his mouth and said:

"You take a walk in front of Banyueju, and you will also make my cousin Xue look good! Our Li family is not something she can easily cling to with a shabby household!"

Mrs. Li glanced at Hui Chun slightly, and dragged out her voice:
"Do you understand?"

Eharu shivered, and hurriedly said:

"My servant understands! This servant is going!"

Li Taiwei's smile flashed across Huichun's cheerful back, and a layer of haze gradually gathered in his clear eyes...

After Huichun stepped out of the yard, Li Taiwei took Dafu to Yunshuiju.

Entering the bedroom, I saw Zhaohe half lying on the Arhat's bed, and Nanny Jin and Nianxia were waiting to take medicine.

Nanny Jin glanced at Li Taiwei, suppressing excitement in her eyes, Li Taiwei nodded to her quietly.

Seeing Li Taiwei coming in, Zhaohe propped himself up, trying to sit up.

Li Taiwei hurriedly stepped forward to stop, and sat sideways on the little bed in front of her bed.

"Mother must stay in bed for the next few days, and she must not walk around at will. If there is something wrong, just ask Nianxia to call the nurse."

Showa had just finished taking the medicine and was swallowing candied fruit, when he heard the sound he said in surprise:

"Ms. Rong is still in the mansion?"

Li Taiwei confessed a few words, saying that it was Princess Changping's wish to ask Doctor Rong to serve the decoction.

Showa nodded and said:

"It's rare for a princess to have such a heart, and you are so close to each other. In a few days' Mid-Autumn Festival, you must thank her for A Niang when you enter the palace."

Li Taiwei pouted:
"She must have asked me to accept this favor on purpose. Who doesn't know that she has been thinking about the Longshan Duan Inkstone in my room? I can't be fooled by her!"

Showa laughed when he heard the words:
"Chang Ping is a princess born in the first place. I haven't seen any good things, so how can I rely on your things?"

"Look at your narrow-minded appearance. The left and right sides are just decorations. It's rare for Chang Ping to like it. Just ask your father to give you another good inkstone later."

Nanny Jin and Nian Xia also laughed.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed for a while, when Zhaohe felt sleepy, Li Taiwei helped her to lie down, covered her with a silk quilt, and then her eyes fell on her mother's still flat belly.

Thinking that she might have had a younger brother or sister who was not born, Li Taiwei felt a murderous aura all over her body, afraid of alarming Zhao He, she hurriedly covered up and withdrew.
