On the wedding night, the sick prince stood up!

Chapter 54

"Madam's great kindness, the little girl has nothing to repay, I hope the lady can keep the little girl to do her best."

The woman knelt on the ground with a firm tone, apparently determined to follow Gu Xiyue.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, she looked at about the same age as Su Tao.

Gu Xiyue refused, "If you follow me, what should your parents do?"

"parents?"

With tears in her eyes, the woman said, "My father fell into the water and died when I was ten years old. My mother became ill because of missing my father, and finally died of depression. How can I have parents?"

"I've been relying on embroidery to support myself these years, and it seems that I've made it through, but I didn't expect to meet someone who covets my appearance again."

"If Ma'am is kind, she can take the little girl as a maid."

In ancient times, not to mention women, even men had a hard time surviving. It is conceivable how hard she has lived in these years.

But hastily bringing someone back home, Gu Xiyue still hesitated.

Seeing that Gu Xiyue was hesitating without speaking, the woman kowtowed forcefully.

"Madam, please do me a favor."

Soon her forehead was flushed, and she looked very pitiful.

"Stop knocking."

Gu Xiyue frowned.

The woman stopped her movements and raised her head, "Madam, just accept me. I can do everything, dress up, run errands and buy things. Just give me a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in. I really don't ask for much."

Just now when Gu Xiyue rescued her, the woman admired her skill. She was able to knock down Yang Zhong and all his subordinates. It seems that this lady has a background.

Otherwise, who would dare to offend Concubine Chong's younger brother?Who is not shunned?
Gu Xiyue asked her carefully, "What's your name, and how old are you this year?"

Seeing Gu Xiyue asking about her name and age, the woman's eyes lit up and she hurriedly replied, "My maidservant's name is Chunyu, and I was born during the rainy season in spring, so my parents named me Chunyu."

Originally, with Su Tao serving by her side, Gu Xiyue actually had no shortage of manpower, but she couldn't help but thought that the rouge shop would need someone to take care of it.

This Chunyu looked at the perseverance and spoke clearly, so it should be a good helper to teach her.

On weekdays, Su Tao followed her to take care of the affairs in the palace, so Chunyu could take care of her property outside the palace.

Gu Xiyue looked at her and said, "Yes, since you want to follow me, you must know that following me is not so easy."

Chun Yu nodded quickly, "Madam, don't worry, Chun Yu is not an idiot, she understands what to do and what not to do."

"Okay, get up, you take this jade pendant to Ye Wang's mansion, and say that it is Ye Wang who told you to wait."

Chun Yu stood up and almost lost her balance, Gu Xiyue stretched out her hand to help her.

She stabilized her body and hurriedly took the jade pendant with both hands, her eyes were still full of shock.

"Night Princess?"

"Slaves see Princess Ye."

After Chun Yu finished speaking, she wanted to kneel down again.

Gu Xiyue grabbed her and said helplessly, "From today onwards, you will be my maidservant, but you don't have a contract of sale, so if you want to be free, just let me know."

"There is also a big maid named Su Tao by my side. You can learn more from her then."

"Okay, I still have things to do, so you can take the jade pendant and wait for me at Yewang Mansion."

Chun Yu put the jade pendant tightly on her chest, "Yes, I will go to the Yewang Mansion to wait for the princess right now."

After Chun Yu left, Gu Xiyue continued to follow Zhuangzhai Yaren to look for a shop, and looked around for an entire afternoon before she settled on a shop she liked.

The location of this shop is good, although there is a flower building not far away, but Gu Xiyue wants to earn women's money, so naturally it needs to be opened in a place with many women.

Seeing that Gu Xiyue was determined to buy a shop, Zhuangzhai Yaren immediately led her to go through the formalities with a smile on his face.

In case the rich man ran away, the servants of the Zhuang Zhai quickly helped with the formalities.

When Gu Xiyue got the deed, she planned to start making rouge.

To make rouge, brightly colored flowers are needed, and Gu Xiyue came to the makeup organization to pick the flowers.

Flowers are also sterilized, dried and ground into powder. This is the simplest process, and the rouge produced is also the most common and has the shortest shelf life.

Gu Xiyue didn't want to just make ordinary rouge. There were very few skin care products in ancient times, and they all extracted essential oils from flowers, but they were not pure.

For example, what kind of rose fragrance, what kind of jasmine fragrance, although the taste is very fragrant, but it does not have any skin care effect.

Watching the servants finished picking the flowers, Gu Xiyue asked them to cut off the branches and leaves, and then soak and clean the flowers.

"Ma'am, there are so many flowers, I'm afraid they can't be washed all at once."

Most of Huazhuang's servants are with their families, so they naturally need time to eat and go home.

Gu Xiyue considered this and said, "You guys help finish the work sooner, and I will not treat you badly if you have an extra month's money for this month and arrange a few more people to cook."

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstones. When they heard that they could get an extra month's money, this group of people immediately became motivated.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we are all used to working, and these flowers will be washed and dried for you soon."

One of the middle-aged women rolled up her sleeves quickly.

Seeing this, the old lady who was standing next to her hurriedly said, "Don't worry, ma'am, although I am old, I am not slow."

Seeing this group of people speeding up, Gu Xiyue nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't rush to dry it after you pick it up, and make arrangements when I come tomorrow."

In fact, Gu Xiyue not only wants to make rouge, she also wants to make lipstick, which is commonly known as lip balm in ancient times.

However, there are heavy metals in the lipstick used by ancient people. They added heavy metals in order to make the color more vivid and durable.

This kind of mouth grease is used for a long time, and the lips are prone to chapping and peeling, and even harm the body.

Gu Xiyue only felt exhausted when she left Hua Zhuang. Today, she ran around the shop Zhuangzi all day, but she felt that her legs didn't belong to her anymore.

No one saw anyway, Gu Xiyue kicked off the embroidered shoes on her feet.

The embroidered shoes looked good but were useless, Gu Xiyue rubbed her ankles and missed modern sneakers very much.

If it were sports shoes, her current fatigue would be reduced by more than half.

Finally Gu Xiyue returned to the palace, and Su Tao brought Chunyu to greet her as soon as she stepped into the palace.

"Princess, how should I arrange the spring rain next?"

Because Chun Yu was arranged by Gu Xiyue, Su Tao didn't dare to make her own claims.

Gu Xiyue rubbed her neck and replied, "Let her study with you for a few days, and I will take her to run the business in a few days."

"Yes, the servant understands."

There are usually many people in the mansion, so of course Gu Xiyue wants to say hello to Ye Wushang.

Regarding what Gu Xiyue did, Ye Wushang didn't ask too much, but let her make up her own mind, after all, Gu Xiyue is the mistress of the palace.

Just when Gu Xiyue was about to leave, Xiaobao ran in and forced Ye Wushang to have dinner with Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue had no choice but to stay. Originally, she wanted to bring some flowers back to do experiments, but she didn't expect to be tripped by Xiaobao.

At this time, Gu Xiyue didn't see it, but a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Wushang's mouth, and Xiaobao even smiled sweetly at Ye Wushang.

It seems that leaving Gu Xiyue to finish the meal together was something the two of them had discussed long ago.
