Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

Chapter 61: Jade is useless if it is not polished, and the same is true for people
  "There are five hundred taels of silver in it, do you want it?"

Five hundred taels of silver converted into modern RMB, the total is five hundred thousand.

In this ancient time when housing prices were not too high, it was enough for the tea maid to eat and drink for a lifetime.

She looked at the bulging money bag and swallowed.

The originally disdainful look in her eyes instantly turned to envy, as if she subconsciously believed that Shen Yuan got the money through dirty means.

Yun Qianqiu didn't understand what Shen Yuan meant. When he saw her pushing the money bag in front of the tea maid, he frowned and pulled her sleeves, and asked her in a low voice what she was doing.
  Shen Yuan didn't reply to Yun Qianqiu first, but just gave her a look to comfort her.

Then he asked again: "Do you want it?"

The maid serving tea naturally thought, her eyes were almost straight, and after nodding, she hurriedly said in a low voice that she just had blind eyes and couldn't see Taishan. She offended Shen Yuan and Yun Qianqiu and told her, "Sir, you have a lot, don't argue with her." .

Seeing that she wanted to use this to change her established impression in her and Yun Qianqiu's eyes, Shen Yuan chuckled silently and asked: "But the price is to ask you to do things that you just said are not on the stage, are you willing? ?”

She would never be able to save so much money in a lifetime of serving water and tea. The maid who served the tea nodded her head like garlic, her eyes almost shining: "I am willing, of course I am."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, put away the money bag under the gaze of the tea maid, and clicked his tongue.

"Are you willing? But I'm not willing. I got these five hundred taels of silver when I helped my brother sell seafood. I earned it with my own hard work. How can I give you such a capable person? Do you want to do serious work, but want to be someone else’s plaything?”

The following paragraph was exactly what the tea maid had said to ridicule Shen Yuan and Yun Qianqiu.

Only then did she realize that Shen Yuan was clearly teasing her, and her face suddenly turned green and white with anger.

She wanted to scold Shen Yuan, but she just slapped herself in the face and had no shame to speak. After suppressing her blush, she had no choice but to leave.

Shen Yuan stopped her at this time: "Why are you so anxious? Did I tell you to leave?"

"Master Fan." Shen Yuan stood up and called Fan Yaozu over.

She and Yun Qianqiu's identities as the tea serving maid were unknown, but she knew Fan Yaozu's identity.

"Ms. Shen, what's going on?" Fan Yaozu saw that the maid looked wrong, and Yun Qianqiu's face didn't look good either. He instantly understood what must have happened.

Shen Yuan looked at Yun Qianqiu and motioned for her to come back.

Yun Qianqiu not only likes to retreat when things happen, but also likes to rely on the protection of others, which is not acceptable.

When she caught Shen Yuan's look, she had no choice but to tell the general truth.

Fan Yaozu's face instantly turned dark when he heard that the maid thought that Shen Yuan and Yun Qianqiu were the prostitutes they brought.

"Nonsense, simply nonsense. Madam Shen is the newly hired Japanese language section chief of our Honglu Temple, not to mention King Andu. Even if she doesn't do the recording work in our Honglu Temple, she will never do it. Reduced to the point of being a plaything for others!"

The maidservant was dumbfounded. She never thought that she would be hit with the idea of ​​a woman becoming an official.

Immediately his face turned as pale as paper, and his soul was almost frightened away. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"It's slave dogs who look down on others. Please forgive me! I really know I'm wrong!!"    It would be fine if Shen Yuan and Yun Qianqiu were just simple officials of Honglu Temple. The problem is, Yun Qianqiu It's the Queen. Her relatives are so insulted by the common people. According to the law, they should be beheaded. That's why the maid is so panicked.

Seeing that she had smashed her head and the skin was bleeding, Yun Qianqiu felt compassion, bit her lip and asked Shen Yuan, otherwise forget it, those who don't know are not guilty.

"Forget it? If I hadn't stopped her just now, do you think there is a possibility that she would spread this matter wantonly and ruin our reputation?"

It's not that she regards human life as nothing, but in this ancient time with strict hierarchy, it is impossible to be respected and establish prestige without any blood on her hands.

She slowly picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and told Yun Qianqiu: "Let you handle this matter yourself. If you handle it properly, you and I can continue to be good friends in the future. If it's not like what happened before, you can just treat it as It was a dream."

Yun Qianqiu must not continue to be so easy to control.

Jade is useless if it is not polished, and the same goes for people. If she continues to be like a white rabbit that is harmless to humans and animals, how can she become something big in the future?
  Seeing that Shen Yuan had already used the word "you", Yun Qianqiu knew that she meant it.

He pursed his lips and hesitated again and again, but finally turned his eyes away without looking at the blood on the floor, and told Fan Yaozu in a hoarse voice: "Then please report to the official on my behalf."

When the maid heard this, her aching head began to buzz, her face turned ashen, and she allowed the guards brought by Fan Yaozu to drag her away.

Only then did Shen Yuan take a sip of tea with satisfaction, looked at the pale Yun Qianqiu, and told her the good news.

"After the official banquet is over, come with me to the teahouse next door. It's time for me to fulfill my previous promise."

Yun Qianqiu knew what the promise meant. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded in agreement.

Fan Yaozu saw that the two of them had something to discuss, so he took the people away after the noon banquet.

The teahouse was filled with the aroma of tea. After Shen Yuan handed Yun Qianqiu the tips bag he had prepared early in the morning, he told her: "Before your parents went to the battlefield, the Queen Mother sent a secret letter. I don't know the whole secret letter. We can only get half of it, but we can roughly deduce that she is communicating with Xixia."

The battle in which Yun Qianqiu's family members died was fought against the Xixia people.

It is self-evident what it means for the Queen Mother to communicate with the enemy at such a critical moment.

Yun Qianqiu unfolded the envelope and looked at it. The top was blurry, but he could vaguely see that it was royal paper. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the letter and was shocked.

"Moreover, I need you and I to cooperate at a deeper stage before I can tell you. There are some relics of your mother in the kit. You can see what to do with it then."

Yun Qianqiu opened the brocade bag, and inside was a pair of bloody earrings, which were undoubtedly her mother's relics.

Seeing that her eyes were already red, Shen Yuan felt a little complicated.

She reminded her: "I also got some news here. Your mother left something for you under the floor in the west direction of the house where you used to live. See if you need me to go to Anhui with you. To the prince’s palace?”

The house is now occupied by Yun Qianqiu's cousin Li Yuzhen. If you want to go in and lift up the floor to find something, it will definitely not work.

Yun Qianqiu understood Shen Yuan's intention to help her get back to the house, and nodded with emotion: "Okay, I'll spare you the trouble, A Yuan. Tomorrow my grandmother will go to the temple to pray for blessings, so things should be easier to handle. .”

　Shen Yuan: Tsk, it’s like raising a child.
