With a smile on his face, Dongyang took Xunxiang's little hand and said, "Good boy, mother will make it up to you."

At this moment, Xunxiang didn't want to pretend at all, so she took out her little hand and smoothed her hair.

Dongyang saw that Xunxiang was not very happy, and felt sorry for his daughter. But Xun Feng is too pitiful. If he doesn't help her, she will be kicked out of the capital.

She said, "You and Xunfeng are cousins. We are a family and we must help each other. If you are in need in the future, she will also help you."

Xun Xiang pouted, "She can't help me. She and I were cousins ​​before. She either forced me to change my name, or she wanted to push me into the ditch."

"Well, my mother scolded her, didn't she change her mind later?"

"She was doing it in disguise and wanted to give me chin beans."

Dongyang had no way to answer this. I feel like talking to this girl is like punching cotton, and I can't even try hard enough.

This is just emotionless. I want to give her some maternal love, but her words can choke people to death.

She was not docile at all, and she didn't know what her father, queen and mother saw in her.

The queen mother also said that she had suffered too much outside and she was not allowed to be cruel or wronged to her...

Dongyang was so angry that he leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.

After returning to Qijin Hall, Xunxiang went directly back to Xikuoyuan.

Ling'er came up to her and said, "Princess, the Zhao family brought Nanny Song and Song Ru over yesterday afternoon and temporarily lived in the back room. We also found a small courtyard for them in the back street and had them cleaned.

"The Prince Consort rewarded them with two hundred taels of silver, and Her Royal Highness the Princess rewarded them with two pieces of silk and two pairs of gold bracelets."

Xun Xiang said, "Invite them."

She patted Heiwa, who was rushing toward him, and then hugged Feifei, who was upset, to comfort her. She took out a shining ruby ​​​​from the gift and showed it to him.

"Do you like it? This gem will be used as an anklet for you..."

He opened his arms and fanned at it twice before the noisy little thing quieted down.

As soon as I finished cleaning my face and hands, I saw a little girl walking in, supporting Grandma Song.

The little girl has delicate features, short stature, rough and dark skin, and big hands with thick bones, especially like Ding Pandi's old hands, which do not match her thin body.

She is half a year older than Xun Xiang, and more than half a head shorter than Xun Xiang.

Nanny Song sniffed, knelt down, and cried, "Sister, I see you again."

Song Ru also knelt down and said, "I have met the princess."

Xunxiang stood up and helped Nanny Song up, and Ling'er helped Song Ru up again.

Xunxiang's eye circles were also red and she said, "Because of me, grandma has suffered."

Mother Song cried and said, "It's my fault that I didn't discover the wolfish ambitions of Li Pingyi's family in advance, otherwise my sister wouldn't have suffered so much..."

"Don't blame grandma..."

My own mother didn't notice, so how can I blame the slave.

This voice reminded Xunxiang of the gentle voice that coaxed her before the full moon.

Xunxiang rewarded Nanny Song with two hundred taels of silver, a pair of gold bracelets, two gold hairpins, and two pieces of silk. Song Ru was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, a pair of silver bracelets, two silver hairpins, and two pieces of silk.

He said, "I will provide for my grandma in the future. If Sister Ru wants to be a good citizen, I will release her slave bond and let someone find a good marriage for her. If she still wants to stay in the house and work, then she can be my second wife." Wait girl.”

An eleven-year-old second-class girl or the princess's girl, no one can do it.

Xunxiang had already heard from Yuhuan that the princess's order was to have a nanny, a nun, two big girls, four second-class girls, four little girls, and four rough ladies.

The West Cross Courtyard is not suitable for a small stay. It will be fully furnished after the yard is renovated.

Xunxiang had already planned it in her heart. Aunt Wang is the tutor, Aunt Wei is the steward, the eldest girls are Yuhuan and Ling'er, the second-class girls are Luo'er and Song Ru, and there is also a small kitchen manager Dai Dai, and the rest of the princess's house is supplemented. match.

Silk'er is only ten years old and can only be a little girl now. Aunt Song is a non-staff nanny and is only responsible for enjoying the blessings.

Although Xunxiang brought the purple snake slough, she could not treat Nanny Song right away. Now, the good treasure in her hands needs to be more cautious and secretive. She is willing to use it for the emperor and queen, but is not willing to use it for other royal people.

I can only leave the treatment to Master Mingyuan.

But he couldn't cause too much trouble for the old monk. For example, the antidote to poison cannot be said to be the magical drug Purple Snake Slough that can cure all poisons, but an antidote specifically designed to cure that kind of poison.

Most people don’t have that kind of poison.

Grandma Song said, "The old slave is incompetent and has not served my sister well. I want Ru Yatou to serve my sister well on my behalf."

This is because he wants Song Ru to continue to be a slave.

Xunxiang had thought of this choice before.

The ancients valued "freedom" and "good people" far less than modern people do. Many people also felt that it was better to be an ordinary citizen than to be a slave of the powerful.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door".

What's more, they are still orphans and widows who have no one to rely on.

Xun Xiang said, "Okay, I'll give Sister Song Ru a new name, let's call her Jin'er."

There is no "satin" connected to the silk and satin, but it is simply called "jin", which is the same as "绫". She must have been raised as a big girl.

Jin'er quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, "I thank you, the princess."

Although this child is thin, he behaves appropriately and his eyes are calm. Xunxiang is quite satisfied.

She is still young now, so she can still grow taller if she eats more good food.

Then he said to Nanny Wei and Ling'er, "Teach Jin'er how to read and write when you have nothing to do, and let her cultivate a good relationship with Feifei."

Although Nanny Song is literate, she is blind and cannot teach Jin'er.

Jin'er has done a lot of physical work before, so she must have good physical strength, and she is young. From now on, she will be mainly responsible for Feifei.

Jin'er was happy and kowtowed again to express gratitude.

Luo Er came to report, "Princess, the Zhao family wants to see you."

"Please come in."

Zhao Jialing is in his early fifties, slightly fat, and has a gray beard.

He came to ask Xunxiang about his requirements for the yard.

"The courtyard is behind Qijin Hall, less than fifty feet away from the Peony Garden. No one has turned down his seat after entering the house... The princess thought of a name, so the official asked someone to draw up the house number..."

Xunxiang said, "I like lilacs. I will transplant more lilac trees in the spring. I also like it to be open and bright, without too many buildings blocking the view. The clean room should be better decorated and connected to the bedroom."

"The small kitchen needs to be bigger, and it needs to have a stew stove... What's the name? Let's call it Ziyuan."

To commemorate her favorite name and the most beautiful time.

Ling'er handed over the drawings of the clean room and small kitchen drawn by Xun Xiang to Zhao Jialing.

The Zhao family ordered them to retreat.

Jin Huan walked in with two more brocade boxes and said with a smile, "Her Royal Highness the princess said that the princess is well-behaved and sensible, and she rewards the princess."

Xun Xiang secretly snorted, it was ironic that the real owner was rewarded because of fake goods.

She also thought wickedly, if the queen dealt with Xun Feng, should she return the reward?
  He took it and knelt down towards the main courtyard, "My daughter thanked her mother."

In the brocade box, there is a pair of red gold inlaid chrysanthemums covering the temples, and a string of agate fragrant beads.

Just in time to send Ding Zhen and Ding Pandi.
