Tangled

Chapter 31
Because of the dispute between the two sisters, even the girls below were affected, and the old lady was punished to go to the ancestral hall in a fit of anger.

As soon as Shen Qiqi entered the yard, she heard a few nuns talking about this matter, she leaned against the wall and listened without saying a word.

Although I didn't meet the prince, there is no need to be so angry, the prince is still in the city, there is always a chance to meet.

"The eldest girl's family background, appearance and talent are all good, it's really a pity that the crown prince didn't choose her."

Nanny Lin sighed and said something, just as Shen Qiqi was about to nod in agreement, Nanny He spoke first.

"That's not right. There are a lot of noble girls who are better than the big girls in the capital city."

"Although the eldest girl's appearance and talent are the best among noble girls, her family is indeed not good enough."

For the prince to marry a concubine, of course he wants to marry a powerful person from his natal family, otherwise how can he become a helper when he ascends the throne in the future.

The eldest young master and the old lady, Master Hou, are not very good at dealing with each other, and they have not given any support to the mansion for so many years. Although outsiders don't know the relationship, the crown prince knows it, so naturally he will not look at the noble lady in the mansion.

Such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, even as a servant, I can understand it, but the old lady can't understand it.

If the relationship with the Eldest Young Master had been properly handled back then, why would the Hou Mansion be in the current situation, and why would she go around trying to woo her.

She doesn't want the benefit of being close at hand, and prefers to look for things that are not even a shadow.

"What you said is true, and it's a pity that a girl like a fairy can only waste so many years of hard work."

For many years, she had set her goal of becoming a crown princess, but now that she knew she couldn't, she was hit hard, otherwise she wouldn't lose face and lose her temper.

"Tsk, if you want to talk about a fairy, who can compare to our girl?"

"Only at Ji's age, her facial features have not fully stretched out yet, she is already very beautiful. After another year or so, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"That's that, every time I look at a girl, I feel like I'm dreaming. Why do you think there are such good-looking people in this world?"

"Even if a person is standing in front of me alive, I have to unscrew myself secretly. Only after suffering pain can I be sure that this is true."

There is no limit to their boasting, and it is as if they don't want money when they say good things.

After listening to it, I should find a crack to get in, Shen Qiqi coughed lightly.

Hearing the movement, the nuns turned their heads and saw a blushing Shen Qiqi, smiling and saluting hurriedly.

"The girl is back, but tired?"

"Coincidentally, Nanny Zhang has just smoked the house with wormwood, and it's just right for her to rest now."

In the early spring, the mosquitoes started to come out, so the house needs to be fumigated from time to time, otherwise the insects would scare the girl, it was the fault of these servants.

In previous years, I smoked it by myself, but this year I can dodge it, Shen Qiqi responded, "Has Mammy's room also been smoked?"

"It's been smoked, every room in this courtyard has been smoked, even the corners of the courtyard, Madam Zhang has not let it go."

Shen Qiqi nodded with a smile, "Then mothers, please continue chatting, I'll go to sleep for a while."

"But nuns, please keep your voice down. Although we don't come here easily, we still have to be careful. There are ears in the walls."

The yard is not big, and Shen Qiqi is not a meddlesome person, there is only a little work every day, and she can do her own thing after finishing.

The nuns smiled and nodded, "Miss, don't worry, this old servant knows about it."

"Go in and spread out the quilt for the girl. Remember that the windows at the back cannot be opened. Be careful of flying insects coming in and scaring the girl."

He Nanny gave a few words of advice, and seeing Jin Bao Yin Bao's smiling face, she was really worried.

"Let me go to the shop. You two little girls seem to be out of tune. You can't fix these things."

Although they didn't make beds for people before, neither of them was raised by pampering, so there's nothing they can't do about such a trivial matter.

Seeing that they were underestimated, Jin Bao and Yin Bao stopped Nanny He from the outside, "Mammy, let's chat, we are here, girl."

"That's right, we're appointed to serve the good girl, so let's get busy, Mommy."

They were young and capable, but Nanny He didn't want to fight them hard, so she couldn't get rid of them after a few pushes, so she could only get discouraged and follow their wishes.

"That's all, I can't compete with you two little girls, go quickly, don't miss the girl's rest."

Seeing that Mammy had rested her mind, Jin Bao Yin Bao smiled and agreed, as if she would regret it, she closed the door again.

It was just making the bed and bedding, and she was still guarding herself, Nanny He stared at the closed door with a helpless expression, and shook her head after a few breaths.

Although there is no work to do now, but because Shen Qiqi was resting inside, the nuns stopped talking and took out the sewing boxes one after another.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao waited for Shen Qiqi to fall asleep before coming out, saw a few nuns sitting on the porch doing needlework, and walked over to her.

"Mommy, are you making shoes for the girl?"

Nanny Lin glanced at her, quite dumbfounded.

I've been staring at it for quite a while, and I still have to ask questions knowingly.

"It's not for a girl, is it for you two monkeys?"

Jin Bao glanced at Yin Bao who was still staring seriously, then turned his head to look at Nanny Lin, rubbing his hands, grinning with big white teeth, and smiling foolishly.

"Although it will be a little embarrassing, but if the nanny insists on doing it for us, then we two sisters can still accept it reluctantly."

The hope in his eyes has almost turned into reality and ran out, and he is still talking hard here.

Nanny Lin was dumbfounded by what she said, so she moved to the side to make room for the two of them.

"Help put this shoe sole on, and I'll make it for you, so that you can 'reluctantly' accept it."

There are quite a lot of clothes and shoes prepared for the maids in the house, and there are two new sets every month, so the two of them don't lack clothes.

What I said just now was just a test, but I didn't expect Mammy to agree directly.

The embroiderers in the mansion are not half as skilled as Mammy, and the clothes and shoes made for the maids are even more perfunctory. Now Mammy wants to make them for them, and Jin Bao is very active.

She sat next to Mammy, took away the soles of her shoes and started threading, seeing Yin Bao was still standing stupidly, she pulled her to sit down while disgusted.

"I don't know what's wrong with you girl. Your brain is getting weaker and weaker. You used to be able to move on your own. Now you have to be pushed and shouted to do anything."

Yin Bao was not angry when he was told, and tried hard with the soles of his shoes. After a long time, he murmured, "I'm fine."

"It's very good. If you didn't reply to me after so long, if no one spoke just now, I wouldn't know you were replying to me."

He only said four words, but she replied so much, Yin Bao opened his mouth, thought for a while and still didn't say anything.

As soon as she said that she would definitely chatter a lot, let alone whether it would wake up the girl, even my own ears couldn't stand it.
