Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 262 Fight against the old foxes
People from Qiutang Garden, Qingshui Pavilion, and Yuerongji can go back and live on their own, but she has to choose a courtyard to live in.Is this the unintentional words of the Xuanzhi eunuch, or the emperor's meaning revealed unconsciously?
Feng Yao pondered for a moment, and suddenly a sarcasm curled up on her lips.If the emperor was not an idiot, he would be jealous of Murong Yu, and naturally he had no good intentions towards her who Murong Yu had clearly protected her with chariots and horses.They are enemies, what explanation is needed?
"Aunt Xiong, I brought someone here." Unknowingly, the eunuch Xuan Zhi led Feng Yao into the two southern courtyards of the Imperial Clothing Bureau.

As soon as the Xuanzhi eunuch finished speaking, a middle-aged woman came out from inside.About 40 years old, with smooth facial features and a somewhat rigid expression.She nodded to the eunuch Xuan Zhi, then turned her gaze to Feng Yao: "You are the Feng family? Master Qian and others have been waiting for you in the meeting hall for a long time, you can follow me."

"Master Qian?" Feng Yao couldn't help being startled, and turned her head to look at the Xuanzhi eunuch beside her.

After listening to Xuan Zhitai, she was also a little surprised: "Master Qian from Qiutang Garden? Who else is here? Didn't they used to—" Just halfway through speaking, Aunt Xiong cast a look on her face, and she was startled and embarrassed shut up.

The eunuch Xuanzhi had a very good impression of Fengyao, so he raised some points from time to time along the way.For example, when he came in, he deliberately led Feng Yao to pass through the courtyard where he lived in the east, and asked her to take a look at it, and when he turned around to meet the aunt in charge, he could choose the one he liked after asking.After all, although each room is the same size, but the location is different, the lighting, cheapness, and scenery are different.

More people will live here in the future, since Feng Yao came early, it's not too much to choose a room you like.In order to prevent Fengyao from being randomly assigned a room after seeing the aunt in charge, the eunuch Xuanzhi took a long way to bring Fengyao in.Now that this step has been done, he doesn't care about doing more, so the eunuch Xuan Zhi entered the courtyards of the two aunts in charge in the south, and brought Feng Yao to greet the aunt in charge.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xiong's eyes were not friendly, and she forcibly suppressed the kindness of eunuch Xuanzhi back to the bottom of her heart.He was just a young eunuch who didn't get ahead, and compared with the aunt in charge of the Imperial Clothing Bureau, he was naturally a few steps lower.You must know that the Imperial Clothing Bureau is a decent office set up in the palace, and the people working in it are all decent female officials with a well-established and high grade.

Especially this kind of leisurely work, which can't offend people, and will be respected respectfully by a lot of people. If you don't have a certain background, you can't assign it.And this Aunt Xiong has been the aunt in charge of the Yuyi Bureau for five or six years.

The eunuch Xuanzhi already wanted to retreat, he turned his face to Feng Yao and showed a serious expression without a smile, and said: "Mr Feng, you stay here and obey Aunt Xiong's orders." Auntie showed a flattering smile: "Aunt Xiong is busy, our family will go back to the palace now, and report to the emperor."

Aunt Xiong was satisfied when she saw him winking, she nodded slightly, and said, "You just go. When Feng Shi comes to me, I will teach her well." A pair of Feng Yao came to the Imperial Clothes Bureau, didn't she? The official leader came here, but he seemed to follow the teaching of the aunt in charge.

Feng Yao was surprised at the change of face of the eunuch Xuanzhi, so naturally she didn't miss the look in Aunt Xiong's eyes.Seeing Aunt Xiong's eyes looking over, she changed from proud to condescending: "Let's put the package here first, the owner of Qiutang Garden, the owner of Qingshui Pavilion and others are already waiting for you. I will take you there first. Tell them to take a look."

What Aunt Xiong said was extremely contemptuous.Ordinarily, Fengyao also came here to run a business according to the order, so she is equal to the owner of Qiutang Garden, Mr. Qian.Why is it that Aunt Xiong seems to be inferior when she says this?

Feng Yao's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "I passed the courtyard when I came here, and saw the meeting hall just in front of the resting courtyard. Fortunately, it's not far away, and it's just a few steps away. Why don't I put the luggage back first, and then Go to the conference hall to meet Master Qian and the others?"

When Aunt Xiong heard the words, a flash of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she scolded unceremoniously: "Can you afford to delay things?" She glanced at the bundle Feng Yao was holding, pursed her mouth, and said with great disdain : "There is such a good thing, are you afraid that I will be ignorant of you?"

After only a few steps, Aunt Xiong refused to go further, she only said that she was afraid of delaying the affairs of Master Qian and others, what's the reason?
The corners of Feng Yao's lips curled up with a trace of coldness, and she said lightly, "Since Mr. Qian and others are waiting for me, but I'm not easy to take advantage of, let's go here." Then, she turned and walked outside.

She had just arrived at this moment, and she was displeased by Aunt Xiong.Although he is not afraid of Aunt Xiong, but the future is long, in order to avoid many unnecessary troubles, it is not difficult to restrain himself a little.After all, the King of Hades loves little ghosts, so if someone waits to order and trips Feng Yao because Aunt Xiong doesn't like it, it will be unpleasant too many times.

What's more, Feng Yao deeply remembered how the waiters in many restaurants treated difficult customers in her previous life.Anyway, when he came here, the eunuch Xuanzhi had already led Fengyao through once, and Fengyao knew the way, so he strode forward directly.

Aunt Xiong was so angry that her face was livid, what, she was just a peasant woman, did she treat herself as a dish after fawning on Prince Yu?Who doesn't know that Prince Yu is the least favorite of the emperor?What a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!Aunt Xiong cursed in her heart, raised her feet and only went after Feng Yao.

However, Fengyao didn't know whether it was on purpose or what, but she walked so fast that Aunt Xiong couldn't catch up even though she was out of breath, so she said angrily, "Slow down!"

When Feng Yao heard the voice, she really slowed down, stood still, and looked back at Aunt Xiong in surprise: "Didn't it mean that Master Qian and the others are waiting? If they miss their business, it will be bad. I'd better go there as soon as possible." Let's go." Paused again, and said sympathetically: "Gu Gu can walk slowly, after all, they are waiting for me, even if Gu Gu slows down for a while, it doesn't matter." He said, did he walk away without lifting his foot? Instead, he stood there and waited for Aunt Xiong.After all, she didn't want to offend Aunt Xiong to death.

However, Aunt Xiong didn't accept this kind of favor. Looking at Feng Yao's slender figure and charming young face, she only felt that it was particularly annoying.He snorted heavily, put out Feng Yao's eyes, and then raised his chin and said: "Idiot, without my introduction, can you talk to Mr. Qian?" As he spoke, he raised his head and brushed past Feng Yao.

Feng Yao's eyes were slightly cold, and she thought to herself, is she too good-tempered?He glanced at the ground, hooked his fingertips lightly, and suddenly a pebble as small as a mung bean fell into the palm of his hand.She looked at Aunt Xiong who was walking ahead, her eyes lowered slightly, and landed on Aunt Xiong's lap.Then, with a flick of your fingertips!
"Ouch!" Aunt Xiong was walking with big strides when she suddenly felt a pain in the bend of her left leg, and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground.The ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and Aunt Xiong, who had been pampered and respected for many years, knocked on the ground unexpectedly, and suddenly felt her knees hurt.

Feng Yao came up at the right time, and asked in a worried tone: "Auntie, why are you walking so carelessly? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Aunt Xiong looked up at Feng Yao, her eyes were full of doubts, she was walking well, why did she suddenly fall down?Could it be that this little hoof has evil intentions?After thinking about it again, just before she fell, she seemed to have been stung by something on the bend of her leg, but it was not kicked.

Thinking about it this way, Feng Yao's suspicion suddenly couldn't be more minor.However, Aunt Xiong still had an ugly expression on her face, she stretched out her hand and said, "Help me up!"

Feng Yao had just vented her anger, but now she was in a good mood, so she gave her hand and helped Aunt Xiong up.

Aunt Xiong walked a lot slower this time, thinking in her heart, it must be because she is getting older, and her body will always have some minor problems of one kind or another.Therefore, when he took his steps, he was much more careful, and he did not try to be brave.Naturally, Feng Yao was not allowed to go past her.

Feng Yao pouted secretly, but didn't care about her.The two of them walked slowly until they came to the meeting hall.

The weather in the north is dry and cold, and it is early winter, so a nylon curtain was hung at the door to keep out the cold wind.Feng Yao supported Aunt Xiong, and the moment she opened the curtain and walked in, it surprised Master Qian and others who were sitting around the table making tea.

But when the thick dark nylon curtain was lifted, a wave of bright light came in, making the room brighter.Taking advantage of this moment of brightness, Master Qian from Qiutang Garden, Master Pan from Qingshui Pavilion, Master Zhou from Yuerongji, and others all turned their heads to look over.

Today, the sage issued an order to order Fengyao to enter the Imperial Clothes Bureau. In fact, Master Qian and others had already received the letter.No one else, it turned out that Master Qian begged the eunuch in charge of purchasing and purchasing department in the palace to make him work harder for the emperor, and it would be better to ask Feng Yao to enter the Imperial Clothes Bureau so that he can do something conveniently.

Therefore, the emperor had just drawn up the imperial decree, but before it was issued, Master Qian had already received the letter.Only then did he call Master Pan, Master Zhou and others to come together and meet the owner of Fengxu Pavilion for a while.

All the people present have only heard of Feng Yao's name in Wuyoufang, but they have never seen Feng Yao with their own eyes.Even Master Qian only learned from his confidant Qian Sen that Feng Yao is not a short-sighted woman who can be underestimated.At this time, they all looked over, and they were all amazed by Feng Yao's appearance.

So young, so beautiful, so talented, it's a pity to marry someone!At this moment, everyone present was stunned.

Feng Yao helped Aunt Xiong step into the threshold, then withdrew her hand and put down the heavy nylon curtain.Because a large area of ​​light was blocked from the outside, the room was suddenly darkened by two points.Fortunately, the windows are spacious and bright.Feng Yao looked up and saw four or five men sitting around the round table by the window.

Most of them are in their 50s or [-]s. They are dressed in extremely rich clothes and have ruddy complexions. At first glance, they look like pampered patriarchs.It's just that, intentionally or not, the eyes of these elders all swept towards Feng Yao's arm supporting Aunt Xiong.

Feng Yao's heart moved slightly, and her face became more and more gentle. She helped Aunt Xiong to walk in, and said with concern: "Auntie, slow down." The look is even more strange.I thought to myself, is there something wrong with this Aunt Xiong?

"Aunt Xiong is here, please take a seat." A potbellied old man stood up with a smile, pointed to the guest chair on the other side, and said very politely: "Aunt Xiong, this is Mrs. Feng? It can be seen that she is a clever person. Yes, as soon as I came here, I got Aunt Xiong's favorite."
