Chapter 141 Bold Demand
Yun Chang also had to be ordered to go.

Qin Zhaogang went to the small warehouse, planning to find a few seeds and try to plant some according to the list given by Ah Shu.

When we got to the small storeroom, I realized that Yun Xiang kept the key. Fortunately, Yun Xiang only went to the front yard, and she was not in a hurry. When Qin Lei picked out suitable bamboo branches, he made them into a bow and pressed them on. Oilcloth, even after an hour or two, it can't be done well.Seeds are also planted in the afternoon.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that she had hurt her grandparents and grandchildren with the old concubine yesterday, should she make up for it today?
After calculating the time, one hour is enough to go back and forth to the old concubine's place to chat, and there is no delay.

The four maids around her were all sent out to do errands, so she went to the front from the small storeroom, looked for the gatekeeper's wife, told her to take care of the gate, and the other went to Rongshoujuli.

After the servant girl from Rongshouju made the announcement, Zhizi came out to welcome Qin Zhao, and she was very happy to see Qin Zhao: "The princess is here. The concubine originally said that if she sits quietly in the Buddhist hall, only the Pei family will send someone to give the festival gift." The concubine is thinking about her in-laws for many years, but she hasn't had any contact with her in these years, so she wants to meet her in person. At this moment, the people of the Pei family are being summoned by His Highness to talk in the front yard, and they will arrive soon. The concubine is also reading in the side hall. The princess is going to talk to the concubine for a while? His highness sent some oranges from Lingnan in the morning, and the concubine rewarded two servants. They ate sweet and sour ones, and they tasted delicious. , this servant will bring a plate to the Princess."

Because of Qin Zhao's incident yesterday, the concubine's heart was broken all night.Everyone said that the princess was kind, but Zhizi was familiar with it, but they knew that the princess looked like she was smiling, but her eyes could not hide the coldness, and she was really not a flattering person.She thought that after yesterday's incident, the princess might have an identity with the concubine.I didn't want to find him this morning, obviously I wanted to warm up the relationship with the concubine.

She is the granddaughter of the concubine, why doesn't the concubine love her?
But for those things in the middle, it's no wonder that when the princess heard the concubine mentioning Yunhe the princess yesterday, she was talking about the princess' mother, and the princess changed her face.Which daughter, whose biological mother's body is not yet cold, and whose father marries another, can a daughter feel at ease?Furthermore, no matter how noble the Murong family is, since she is married to the Qin family, she abides by the rules of the Qin family. She has never offered incense or tea to the spirit of Mrs. Wen Guo, the princess of Fuling. How can I respect her as a mother?
The old concubine has been clear about people all her life, but it's about her children and grandchildren, so she can't understand.

Zhizi is the most caring person in front of the old concubine, so she naturally feels sorry for her old man, who is still worried about these things. The original old concubine didn't sleep well that night. Now that the princess came, wouldn't it be possible to solve it? Her old man's heart knot?That's why he warmed up to Qin Zhao differently from the usual indifferent attitude towards everyone, but also alienated in the amiable way.

As Zhizi said, she let Qin Zhao into the room, and raised her hand no higher than lower, just in time for the old concubine in the side hall to hear the voice: "Toffee, Princess Fuling is here to see you, slave girl please The princess comes in?"

The old concubine's kind and joyful voice sounded from inside: "It's so cold, why are you running around this morning? Why don't you come in quickly? It's no fun to be frozen again."

Qin Zhao was inexplicably sad when he heard this.

Thinking about these days, the old concubine has treated her well.Jinyang treats her well, not necessarily without the advice of the old dowager, but whenever the old man gets something good, he must reward her with what she likes first, and then it is Changning and Yixing's turn.Such a noble family, an old man who is enshrined like a god, who would care about a granddaughter's expenses?The old concubine Pian worried that she didn't have enough money, so she took 20 taels of silver every month to subsidize her pocket expenses. 20 taels is not much for a family like them, but today's rice is only seven or eight cents a bucket, and 20 taels of silver is what an ordinary family of three spends for a year or two.She is a little girl, what can she do with money?It's just that the old man is worried that there will always be places that she can't take care of, afraid that she will be neglected, and she has some money to do things.

Yesterday, she was indeed resentful.

But from the standpoint of the old concubine, so what?It is true that she is her own daughter. The old concubine used to love her mother Shan Nian, so it may not be true, but Qin Huaiyong is still her own son who was born in October. This affection, let alone Shan Nian, is her This granddaughter can't get over it either.

What's wrong with the old concubine?It's just the old man's heart for his children and grandchildren.

Thinking of these, the thoughts that were originally just to ease Guan Ji have changed.

There was some warmth in his eyes.

Seeing Zhizi, she felt even more relieved, and her tone became more cheerful, and she replied: "I will invite the Princess to come in now, I don't dare to freeze your granddaughter, Grand Concubine."

As he spoke, he helped Qin Zhao untie the fur coat he was wearing, and said in a low voice, "Why did the Princess come here alone, and there is no girl to follow? Look at the cold hands, Zisu and those girls are also It’s too negligent, and I don’t know how to get a hand stove for the princess to hold when I go out, although it’s not very useful, at least it’s warmer.”

"Thank you, sister," Qin Zhao said with a smile, "Zisu's four maids have been assigned errands by me. I was staying in the house, but because I thought of my grandmother, I was a little worried, so I came to have a look."

But he didn't mention yesterday's incident, Zhizi understood and lifted the curtain to let her in.

"Azhao has met grandma." Qin Zhao bowed respectfully.

The old concubine smiled happily and pulled her to sit beside her: "It's cold outside, hurry up and sit on the couch with grandma."

He also ordered Zhizi: "Is there any more oranges sent by His Highness yesterday? In this winter, there are few fresh fruits. The oranges I ate were sweet. Get some for the princess."

Zhi Zi smiled and said, "Where do you need to order this? The maidservant is about to go."

After Zhizi retreated with a smile, she winked at Wan Ying and Zao Ying who were in the room, and the three of them went out, before the old concubine said: "Why do you see that this sleeve is stained with mud? It can be seen Zisu is a careless girl, I see that those around you are all childish, Yun Xiang is more stable, but you are young, if you don't have enough manpower, grandma can't do without Gardenia , the two girls, Early Ying and Evening Ying, are also good, why don't you pick one and use it?"

"I don't dare to ask for the people in the grandmother's house," Qin Zhao knew that she meant well, but things about the Rongshou residence were not mentioned at all. Anything less is a hassle.Besides the daily life, it's the same with the little maids, she didn't care much about these things, who would use them?He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness wanted to pick a few people for Ah Zhao last time. I am not often at home now, and I rarely need people. There are a bunch of idlers in the courtyard, so it is easy to cause trouble. Wait until the time is up." In [-], His Highness said that he would invite the female trainee in the palace to teach me etiquette, and it would not be too late to ask the female officer to help me train a few girls."

Because of yesterday's rift, she originally said to Qin Zhaoren, but she just heard Zhizi say that Qin Zhao didn't come with a maid to serve her.Although it was out of concern, there was some estrangement between the grandparents and grandchildren, which inevitably meant that they were forced to insert people into Qin Zhaoyuan.

Seeing Qin Zhao's delay, the old concubine did not insist.

Seeing Qin Zhao's innocent smile again, the old concubine also became happy, and asked: "I heard that your highness said that you are busy recently, and you are setting up some tea shop with the girl of the Chen family, and you are planning to go to the farm to have a look. Yes, you are only a little older, but you know how to worry about it. Even if you just play around every day, can grandma lose your dowry in the future?"

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "I'm not afraid. I know that my grandmother loves me very much. Azhao knows it well, but my granddaughter is restless and likes these trivial things. When it comes to the tea shop, my granddaughter has something to ask my grandmother." .”

She spoke intimately and coquettishly, and the old concubine became more and more happy: "Just say it, as long as you don't want this old bone of mine, everything else is up to you."

Qin Zhao proudly said: "Grandmother said this, the granddaughter is about to open her mouth like a lion, and grandma won't go back on her word."

The old concubine laughed and scolded: "Your grandmother is the most trustworthy person in her life, so she is afraid that you, a little girl, will open her mouth like a lion?"

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Then let me tell you, didn't grandma mention the tea shop of granddaughter and cousin Jinwu? Now there is a shortage of some affordable decorations. The teahouse opened by granddaughter is not known by everyone. Those who can go are doing the business of the aristocratic family, and the things are shabby. When others hear that this is the business of the Prince's Mansion and Lu Guogong's Mansion, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our two families? Grandma has to help grandson My daughter made this face."

The old concubine has been rich and honored all her life, what kind of good things have she never seen?Although she was the princess in the previous dynasty, because she was the daughter of the emperor's only prince uncle, in terms of dignity, she was probably more noble than the princesses in the palace.The previous dynasty collapsed, and at that time she was the princess of the side-by-side king, and her dignity was no less than that of the princess when she was in the previous dynasty.

The wealth, gold and silver things she was born with have long been out of her eyes.

What my granddaughter is asking for is just some gold, silver and jade wares, antique calligraphy and paintings, so what is it worth if I reward her?I just hope that the resentment in the child's heart will be less because of this peaceful and comfortable life.

Besides, Qin Zhaoneng asked her for it like this, because he didn't take what happened yesterday to his heart.Whether it was deliberate or not, as long as she can show such an attitude, it is already rare.

Just as he was talking, Zhizi entered the room holding a bisque plate, on which were several golden oranges the size of a boxer's hand, although they were far away, she could already smell the heart-warming aroma of those oranges, Lift your spirits.

Qin Zhao pointed to the plain porcelain plate and said, "This is a good thing. Why does it look as smooth as white jade? Is it as green as green jade? If there are such things, grandma will give me a few pieces. good?"

The old concubine smiled and said: "It's just a few dishes, Zhizi, you can take the princess to the storeroom to pick them up later, and ask her to take whatever she likes. I don't believe she is so small, she can pick it up in the storeroom." Evacuate my warehouse that has accumulated things for decades?"

Hearing this, Zhizi put down the plate in her hand, picked an orange and peeled it for Qin Zhao, and handed it to her, Fang smiled and said, "Toffee is really, what can I say is nothing more than a few plates, and it's only you who don't like it." Putting these plates in your eyes, do you know that this secret porcelain is hard to find in the market? Last time the county magistrate of Yixing took a fancy to that set of small tea cups and begged His Highness for a long time, but His Highness refused to give it to the county. Where is the Lord?"

Secret porcelain?

　Timing Lord.
