Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 33
After sending Lu Concubine away, Su Qingning ordered Hongjin to find Jishun.

"Master, are you looking for a slave?" Jishun bowed to Su Qingning with a respectful attitude.

"Concubine Lu came here just now and recommended a person for me, surnamed Chen, she called her Nanny Chen, you can find a way to help me find out about this person, I heard that the concubine who served the late emperor has no affiliation now."

Although she told Concubine Lu to let Nanny Chen come to her Nongyu Xiaozhu, but before that, she wanted to get to know her first.

Regardless of Jishun's young age, he has been working in the harem for four years, and he still understands the affairs of the harem. On weekdays, he is very efficient in inquiring about news.

"Master, don't worry, the servant will go and inquire now." After receiving the order, Jishun complied, and he was very happy to be able to do things for the master.

"Go, remember to wear more clothes. It's cold now. I'll ask Hongjin to prepare ginger soup in syrup for you. You can drink it when you come back." Nodding, Su Qingning smiled and ordered, Jishun agreed, kowtowed, Get up and leave.

Jishun left, and Hongjin went to prepare ginger soup in syrup for Jishun. Although he was a boy, he was still young, so he didn't like the spicyness of ginger soup. He liked to add sugar in it, which tasted sweet.

"Master, is that Nanny Chen reliable?" Hongxiu stood by, a little worried.

"Whether it's reliable or not, you'll know when you come here. Concubine Lu and I are on the same boat. If it's not appropriate, she won't recommend it to me."

Leaning on the soft couch, Su Qingning spoke in a calm tone. At this time, she was completely different from her usual self. Hongxiu felt that she had a little more majesty from a superior.

After the master said this, Hongxiu stopped talking. She believed that the master's vision of people was very accurate.

After Lu Pin returned to Yunmengzhai, she asked Rui'er to find Nanny Chen, and told her what Su Qingning said.

After seeing Rui'er off, Nanny Chen sat in the room with a calm expression on her face.

"I don't know, is my choice right or wrong?" For a long time, Mother Chen muttered to herself, speaking in a low voice, tears flickered in her eyes.

…………

In the evening, when Jishun returned to Nongyu Xiaozhu, Su Qingning asked him to eat something first, and then drank ginger soup to drive away the cold, and then he heard him talk about the results of his investigation.

Nanny Chen is 34 years old. She used to serve Zhaoyi who was the late emperor. After the death of the late emperor, Zhaoyi was sent out of the palace by the queen mother because she had no children. Now she is often accompanied by the green lantern in the Taoist temple outside the palace.

Originally, Nanny Chen was going to stay with her, but because of some accidents, she stayed. As for the accidents, Jishun did not find out.

For these years, this Nanny Chen was in the palace by herself. Her life was not good, and she almost died of illness. Fortunately, she was rescued by Concubine Lu, which saved her life.

Because of her indifferent personality, she seldom interacts with others. In the harem, the only person she interacts with now is Concubine Lu.

He reported the information he had found out to Su Qingning, and Jishun stood aside, waiting for her order.

"You've worked hard, go and rest, I asked Hongjin to leave some good food for you." After listening to the report, Su Qingning said with a smile, Jishun quickly responded, and stepped back happily.

Looking at his back, nostalgia flashed in Su Qingning's eyes. She missed her brother very much, and wondered how he was doing in modern times?
With Jishun's investigation, Su Qingning had a preliminary understanding of Nanny Chen.

Near noon the next day, Nanny Chen appeared in Nongyu Xiaozhu.

Seeing her bowing to herself in a proper manner, her words and deeds revealing her stability, Su Qingning was very satisfied.

Greeting Mother Chen to get up, Su Qingning ordered Hong Jin to give her a seat.

After thanking her, Nanny Chen sat down next to the chair, her gaze lowered, her posture respectful.

"I heard from Concubine Lu that you don't belong now, would you like to come to my Nongyu Xiaozhu?" Jishun checked it out yesterday, and she already knew the general situation about Nanny Chen, so she didn't need to ask further.

"Su Ronghua is willing to accept slaves, it is the blessing of slaves, and slaves are willing to stay in Nongyu Xiaozhu to serve Su Ronghua." Chen Momo replied when she got up and knelt on the ground.

"Since that's the case, from today onwards, you can stay in Nongyu Xiaozhu. When I ask Hongjin to clean up a room for you, I will send someone to greet you as for Dianzhong Province. You can stay at ease." After hearing Nanny Chen finished speaking, Su Qingning called her to get up.

Originally, she thought she would have to accept a round of cross-examination, but she didn't expect that she would be left behind with just a few words. Nanny Chen was a little surprised in her heart.

In this way, Nanny Chen was left behind, and Hongxiu got the order to go to Dianzhong Province to tell Nanny Chen about it. The chief eunuch of Dianzhong Province took this opportunity and brought some people to Nongyu Xiaozhuzhong.

When Su Qingning was Wanrong, because he fell out of favor, the people around him left all over the place. After he was favored, the chief eunuch of the Dianzhong Province wanted to add a few people, but Su Qingning refused on the grounds that he liked quietness.

Now that she has become Ronghua, although her status is not very high, it is really unreasonable to be a fifth-rank Ronghua with only a few people around her to serve her.

In addition, this time, she added another person to herself, and the chief eunuch of the Dianzhong Province felt that this was an opportunity for her to add another person.

This time, Su Qingning did not refuse, she handed over the matter of picking someone to Nanny Chen who had just arrived.

Since she wanted to use it, she had to look at her ability, and it was useless for those who didn't have the ability to stay.

Mother Chen didn't understand what she meant. After receiving the order, she selected two maids and four eunuchs for Nongyu Xiaozhu.

Now Nongyu Xiaozhu already has Red Brocade and Red Embroidery, adding two more people makes four people, which is in line with Ronghua's status.

As for the little eunuch, because of Jishun and four more, it is really necessary to do some rough errands on weekdays. In Nongyu Xiaozhu, she has added herself today. Now counting, It happened to be ten people, but it was perfect.

Seeing that Nanny Chen had chosen someone, the eunuch in charge of Dianzhong Province took the rest and left Nongyu Xiaozhu.

The newcomers were beaten up by Nanny Chen and assigned tasks by the way.

Since she just came here, the assignments given by Nanny Chen were all outside jobs, and Hongjin and Hongxiu were still responsible for serving Su Qingning.

Nongyu Xiaozhu has new people, and it is lively again. Now that it is the twelfth lunar month, there are only more than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year. There are many preparations that need to be made, and Madam Chen directly takes over.

She is not talkative, and rarely speaks unless necessary. Su Qingning is very satisfied with her.

Originally, because of Chen Nanny's arrival, Hongjin and Hongxiu were very wary, but after getting along for a while, the two only had admiration for Chen Nanny.

Following Nanny Chen, the two of them really learned a lot...
