Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 49

Back at Yonghe Palace, Tong Wanrou ordered someone to wash the picked petals with clean water. After the virtuous man entered the palace, he told her that in the next few months, everyone in Yonghe Palace is not allowed to have disputes with others outside. Even if the opponent provokes you, you must be the first to admit your mistake.

Tong Wanrou understood the meaning of the virtuous man's order, she nodded, and proceeded properly.

When Jin Rong asked about the situation, Tong Wanrou told her what happened in Meilin today, and Jin Rong couldn't help shaking her head after hearing this:
"These women haven't tasted the taste of the palace. Now they are used to them everywhere in the palace. They just ignore them because their future is uncertain. You can wait and see in January to see if they are still as they are today. It’s as comfortable as life. I also lecture people, and I can’t find my family if I am not tamed. My name is written upside down.”

Tong Wanrou was amused by her, and the two went to the small kitchen.Seeing that the two maids had washed the red plum petals and put them in a very delicate white porcelain vat, which looked very fresh, Tong Wanrou took out a petal and put it in her mouth. The entrance seemed a little dry, but the plum fragrance was overflowing.

"I'll make plum cakes for the nobleman at night, sift the fine noodles again, and take the snow water saved last time and put it away."

After giving instructions to a maidservant, the maidservant took the order.

Tong Wanrou was rolling up her sleeves when Xiao Chunzi from Yonghe Palace ran over and gave her a slap, saying:
"Auntie, there is a servant girl outside who wants to see you, and wants to say a few words to you."

Tong Wanrou looked at him unexpectedly: "Talk to me? Where is the palace maid?"

Xiao Chunzi replied: "It seems to be from Chuxiu Palace. She only said that the two masters asked her to come and give you a message. If you see it, if you don't see it, if you don't see it, the servant will send her away."

Tong Wanrou thought for a while, and then she understood the origin of this maid. She passed the message to her for the two masters. Looking at the entire palace, only the two sisters of the Tong family would do it. To help them do something, thinking about the virtuous person's previous instructions, Tong Wanrou made up her mind.

Shaking his head to Xiao Chunzi: "No, you go and tell her, just say that I know who her master is, but I'm cooking dinner for a virtuous person, so it's inconvenient to see you today, let her go back."

After Xiaochunzi took the order to go, Tong Wanrou ignored her and devoted herself to making pastries.

In the evening, the virtuous person was having their meal, and Xiao Chunzi ran outside the hall to wait for Tong Wanrou. When Tong Wanrou put away the tray and walked out, he stopped Tong Wanrou and said:

"Auntie, that maidservant is here again, and this time it seems that she has brought someone else along."

Tong Wanrou handed the plate to the maid behind her, and asked Xiao Chunzi, "Who did you bring?"

Xiao Chunzi shook his head: "The slave doesn't know either. Judging by the texture of the cloak, he might be a master. Auntie, if you don't see this..."

Tong Wanrou sighed and wiped her hands on the apron. Seeing that the virtuous man was eating and Nanny Gui was serving her, she went outside and saw that there were indeed two people standing under the shade of the trees outside Yonghe Palace , a palace maid and a cloaked... little master.

I don't know if she is Tong Jiao or Tong Mei, so she walked up bravely and saluted the man in the cloak, only to see that man came to support her, pulled her behind the tree, then took off the cloak, Showing a delicate little face.

"Sister, do you still know me?"

Tong Wanrou looked at her and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This servant recognizes the little mole on the left cheek of the young master, it must be sister Tong Jiao."

Tong Jiao smiled, she was really beautiful, and she smiled at Tong Wanrou: "My sister is doing so well now, my sister sent someone to pass you on, but you ignored her, my sister is so sad."

Tong Wanrou saw that although she didn't blame much in her words, but the meaning in her words was more or less complaining, she couldn't help but get down and said:

"What did my sister say? I didn't see the person you sent during the day. It's because I was cooking dinner for the nobleman. I don't know why my sister came here at night."

There is a curfew in the palace, and the beautiful girls in the Chuxiu Palace have not yet been canonized. In fact, their status is equivalent to that of a court lady. Tong Jiao disregarded the rules and came here to find her. It was definitely not just for the sake of sisterhood.

Tong Jiao heard what she said directly, so she stopped going around in circles. After all, she ran out secretly. Of course, the sooner she went back, the better.

"Sister, we are a family, and my sister will speak up when she has something to say." She moved her alluring mouth closer to Tong Wanrou, breathed out and said, "Based on the looks of me and Meier, we will definitely be favored in a month's time." , the day of being favored is the day when we canonize, you are our uncle and sister, if you are by your side to serve, we will be able to sit back and relax, and since we are a family, naturally we will not treat you badly."

As Tong Jiao spoke, she sized up Tong Wanrou and said:

"The virtuous person is indeed an old man, but she is only a noble person after all these years. After all, she has the status of a concubine. I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to achieve success in the future. Otherwise, my sister will follow our sister. The three of us are in the palace. Wouldn't it be wonderful to break into him."

"..."

Tong Wanrou expressed her admiration for the girl's thoughts.

After making a fuss for a long time, she came here to poach the wall!Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.

Tong Jiao stared at her, Tong Wanrou was stunned for a long time before slowly saying:

"I'm afraid this matter will not work. I have already entered the Yonghe Palace, so how can I propose to change the master?"

Tong Jiao's complexion changed a little, and she preached to Tong Wanrou: "Why not? It's not written in the palace rules that slaves are not allowed to propose a change of master. You just need to go and tell the virtuous person that you don't want to serve her anymore. Serve our sisters, wouldn't it be fine?"

"..."

Tong Wanrou looked at her naive and bored face, she really felt that there were everyone in this world, and such words of betraying the master turned into something as common as vegetables and tofu in her mouth.

Immediately shook his head and said: "Sister, please go back. This matter can't be done! You are only beautiful women now, and you have not been canonized. To put it bluntly, you are not even the master. How can you come to other palaces to ask for someone? Don’t say that you are beautiful women. Even if your status in the future is higher than that of the nobles, whether you can get someone depends on the meaning of Long Live God and the nobles. I am also very happy for the mother family that you can enter the palace. , all hope is cherished, cherishing oneself is the only way. The servant has resigned."

After Tong Wanrou said these words, she blessed Tong Jiao again, and then walked into the Yonghe Palace without looking back, treating what happened tonight as a farce, and forgot about it after seeing it.

Tong Jiao looked at Tong Wanrou's leaving back, and finally her face turned cold, her exquisite facial features twisted, and there was a special sense of willfulness in the dark night.

Early the next morning, Tong Wanrou took inventory of the small warehouse in Yonghe Palace, and found that the bird's nest was almost gone, so she called Jin Rong to go to the House of Internal Affairs together.

On the way, Jin Rong asked Tong Wanrou who was looking for her last night, and Tong Wanrou didn't want to expand the matter, so she laughed and hesitated:

"It's nothing, it's just a ignorant sister from my natal family who came to visit me."

Jin Rong also knew that among the show girls this time, there was a pair of twin sisters from Tong Jia's family. Tong Wanrou must be talking about the two of them, so she couldn't help asking:

"I heard that the sisters of the Tong family are quite good at life. In less than a month, there are no servants in Chuxiu Palace who have not been rewarded by them. They are very generous. They really look like ladies from a famous family. .”

Listening to Jin Rong's words, Tong Wanrou didn't say anything, just smiled, and Jin Rong continued:
"There is also that Fucha Ningyan, who is also good at shooting. Auntie, your mother-in-law and family are all amazing, and you will have a bright future in the future."

When Tong Wanrou heard this, she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I don't expect a bright future, I just hope they don't bother me."

When Jin Rong heard it, she felt that there was gossip, so she asked again: "Hey, how do you say this, how can I hear it, it seems that you have something inside your husband's and natal family, can you tell me?"

Tong Wanrou looked at her helplessly: "What's the inside story? Don't think about it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is coming soon."

Saying that, the two looked up and saw two big lanterns hanging outside the House of Internal Affairs, Jin Rong then closed her mouth, followed Tong Wanrou, and walked into the House of Internal Affairs.

However, I didn't feel awkward when I came here before, but today, Tong Wanrou and Jin Rong feel awkward no matter what, not because of anything else, just because of the posture of coming up to salute and say hello to her after seeing her, which made them a little overwhelmed .

The two walked into the main hall wondering, and only realized the meaning of this when they saw the steady and handsome figure.

Wang Xi, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came up to her and said to her, "Hey, madam is here, sit down quickly."

Wang Xi's voice lifted Fu Heng, who was checking the accounts, and met her eyes. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, before Fu Heng put down the pen and ink in his hand, walked out of the desk, came to her, and said :
"You look good in this suit."

Tong Wanrou didn't expect him to be dishonest in the palace, so she couldn't help but blush, gave him a sneaky glance, and then said:

"The bird's nests in the Yonghe Palace are almost gone. I'll apply for some. Please be accommodating, my lord."

Fu Heng saw that her expression was serious, but her words contained playfulness, so he couldn't help but want to scratch her face, but Tong Wanrou avoided her first, and deliberately didn't talk to him, but went to the side and waited, smiling. Wang Xi with a wrinkled face said:

"My lord, does the House of Internal Affairs still have bird's nest? Nobles like to drink a bowl of it to nourish their spirits when they get up early."

Although Tong Wanrou's gaze was on Wang Xi, she was staring at Fu Heng from the corner of her eye. Seeing him standing there in a leisurely manner, Wang Xi couldn't help but nodded:
"Yes, but no one else. Can you still have what the Palace of Eternal Peace wants? Auntie, wait a moment, the slave will prepare it now."

After finishing speaking, he went to the back hall in a hurry.

Fu Heng pointed to the courtyard outside the hall to Tong Wanrou, and then walked forward with his hands behind his back. Tong Wanrou said to the puzzled Jin Rong: I will come as soon as I go, and follow out.

Jin Rong stood there Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, she was extremely puzzled.
