Fair Lady

Tianen is indeed a down-to-earth person. He looks rough on the outside, but he is very careful on the inside.Although he grew up in a small family and had never had the concept of an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard before, he soon noticed that except for the two male masters Shujie and Shuwen, as well as the adoptive father who traveled far away, all the other men lived in the courtyard. In the first entrance of the house, and the doors between the first entrance and the two inner entrances are strictly guarded. There are women on duty at twelve hours, especially the third entrance where Mingyue Garden is located.

Tianen remembered that when he was studying in the school, his husband once said that men and women had different seats at seven years old. The rich family paid great attention to this, and immediately proposed to move out of Zhichunyuan, and they were very persistent.

Shujie was going to wait a few years before letting Tianen go to the store, and now he will run errands with the two second butlers to learn more about the etiquette and customs of the capital.Although Tian En is not particularly smart, but he is down-to-earth and polite, and he has some basics, can write and calculate. The two second housekeepers and everyone in the house really like this silly-looking Young Biao.

Tianen hadn't gone to the shop yet, so naturally he had no wages, but Shujie asked the housekeeper to give Tianen a monthly allowance according to his and Shuwen's grades, and also asked the maid in the sewing room to make four sets of winter clothes for Tianen.

Tianen reluctantly accepted the clothes, but refused to ask for a monthly payment. Shujie's persuasion was useless.Shuyao said to him: "Brother Tianen, the two second housekeepers are your masters now, and you will go to the shop to study in the next year, and you always have to invite the masters to drink some tea and eat some snacks, and you are penniless. How can it be done? People will say that the young master of our summer house doesn't know how to behave."

Tianen thought about it, didn't he?Then he would embarrass his cousin.Only then did he accept the purse containing the extra money with his face blushing, and secretly went to the shop to do things well and do more things.

The day before New Year's Eve, Xia Zhai received the first letter from Jin Xida, which was just a few words: everything is fine.Happy New Year!foster father.

Shuwen held the piece of paper and read it several times, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Father is really stingy, so I just wrote these few words. I don't even say where he is."

Shujie lowered his voice and laughed: "You little thing is enough! The adoptive father didn't really go on a tour, so how could he reveal his whereabouts at will? What if the letter is intercepted by someone with a heart?"

Shuwen pouted: "Of course I know, I just complained. I'm not that ignorant."

Shujie laughed dotingly: "Yes, yes, brother is wrong, we Wen'er are the most sensible."

Shuyao looked at the two of Shujie with a smile on the side, and her heart was full of a feeling called happiness. After the tragic experience in her previous life, she knew how hard-won this feeling of happiness is.Shuyao felt that she came here for the happiness and safety of her elder brother and younger brother in this life.

Mother Liu also looked at the three siblings with a look of relief. These two sentences, "Children without parents are in charge of the family early" and "Elder brothers are like fathers" are all true portrayals of Shujie. Shujie's doting on his younger siblings is almost hopeless. Sensible and not spoiled.

A few people were talking happily when Uncle Kui, the housekeeper, came in: "Mother Liu, there is a post from the palace, and I want you to take the three masters to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow. The two young eunuchs who delivered the post are in a hurry. I said there were still a few posts to send, so I gave them each a second-class red envelope. After accepting the posts, let them go first."

Shuyao wondered: "Mom, didn't you accept the post two days ago?" Mother Liu is a palace nurse, and every New Year's Eve, she would receive a post and go back to the palace to attend the palace banquet. The first three years were in Yulin, and the queen also There is no reluctance. When I first returned to Beijing to meet the queen this year, the queen said so.This year's New Year's Eve must go back to the palace.

Mother Liu looked carefully at the post in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is a post for you three brothers and sisters. It was sent by the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I think the empress dowager or the emperor wants to meet you." There is another possibility, that is The emperor was entrusted by Jin Xida, and wanted to praise the three brothers and sisters more.You know, those who can participate in the New Year's Eve palace banquet are mostly officials and family members of the third rank or above (must be the wife and children), and not every official of the third rank or above can receive the post.

Of course, this guess cannot be said, the Sacred Heart cannot guess, and if you know it, you must treat it as not knowing.

to the palace?Shujie and Shuyao didn't think it was a good thing, not to mention restraint, but they had to be careful at all times.They are orphans and their adoptive father is not in the capital. If they accidentally fall into a trap and cause trouble for their adoptive father, it will be terrible.They knew very well that there were many people who flattered the foster father, and even more people hated the foster father.

Shuwen was curious and excited: "Mother Liu, they said that the imperial palace is as big as the entire Yulin Town, and it is full of golden lights. Mom, is this true?"

Mother Liu touched Shujie's head and smiled: "Well, the palace is very big, but you can't go around, you can only stay in your seat, Wen'er, you have to remember, you can't trust any strangers there , you can’t leave with anyone, you must obediently follow your elder brother.” At that time, men and women must be separated.

"Well, I see." Shuwen made a grimace, "Mother used to say that curiosity killed the cat, I will be very good and careful." No matter how big or beautiful the palace is, it is just a golden cage. It is still a golden cage that is dangerous everywhere. "Golden cage" is what my mother said, and "dangerous everywhere" is what Liu's mother said.He Xia Shuwen has a very good memory, he will not run around knowing the danger.More importantly, the adoptive father said that many people might use the three siblings to get close to the adoptive father or harm the adoptive father. Hmph, although he is young, he is not so easy to use.

Shujie smiled. This younger brother has become more and more calm in the past two years. He seems to be careless, outspoken, and quick-talking at home, but he is very careful outside and in front of outsiders, and even hides behind Shujie to "play weak". ", others don't know, they think he is timid and shy.

Because the three of Shujie and Liu's mother are going to enter the palace, the plan to celebrate the first New Year's Eve in this mansion with the servants of the mansion tomorrow night will be postponed to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and changed to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Shujie ordered: "Uncle Kui, you will still hold a banquet to celebrate New Year's Eve tomorrow night. Miss Xiutao, cousin Tianen, and you and Aunt Jin (Jin Niang, the chief accountant) wish everyone the New Year on our behalf. The red envelope will wait until the morning of the first day of the new year."

Mother Liu added: "Uncle Kui, the concierge and the nursing home still have to take turns to be on duty, and the people on duty are not allowed to drink. Of course, the young master and the girl will not treat them badly, and will give them a red envelope on the morning of the first day of the new year." .”

Uncle Kui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mama Liu, I've made arrangements. I don't know how to drink, and I'll watch." Your support is my biggest motivation.)
