Chapter 31

Hard talk

Author: Naughty Gu Gu

Hard talk

Because of the dispute between the two sisters, the girls below were also affected. The old lady was so angry that she sent them all to the ancestral hall.

As soon as Shen Qiqi entered the yard, she heard several nuns talking about this matter. She didn't say anything and just leaned against the wall to listen.

Although I have not met the prince, there is no need to be so angry. The prince is still in the city, and there is always a chance to meet him.

"The eldest girl has a good family background, looks, talent, and everything. It's a pity that the prince didn't choose her."

Nanny Lin sighed and said something. Just as Shen Qiqi was about to nod in agreement, Nanny He spoke first.

"That's not true. There are so many ladies in Kyoto who are better than the older girls."

"Although the eldest girl is the best among noble girls in terms of appearance and talent, her family background is really lacking."

When a prince marries a concubine, of course he must marry a powerful one from his mother's family, otherwise how can he be a help when he ascends the throne in the future.

The eldest young master and the old lady, the Marquis, are not easy to deal with, and they have not given any support to the palace for so many years. Although outsiders do not know the relationship, the prince knows it, and naturally he will not fancy the noble daughter of the palace.

Such a simple and easy-to-understand truth is understood by me as a servant, but the old lady cannot understand it clearly.

If she had properly handled her relationship with the eldest young master back then, why would the Hou Mansion be in this situation now, and why would she go around trying to build relationships?

She doesn't want the benefits that are right in front of her, but rather abandons the near and seeks the far away, looking for things that don't even have a shadow.

"What you said is true. It's a pity that such a fairy-like girl can only waste so many years of hard work."

Over the years, I have been aiming to become the Crown Princess. Now that I know that I will not become the Crown Princess, I will be hit hard. Otherwise, I would not lose my temper regardless of face.

"Tsk, when it comes to being a fairy, who can compare to our girl?"

"At just the age of hairpins, her facial features have not yet fully expanded, but she is already very beautiful. In the past year and a half, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"That's right. Every time I look at the girl, I feel like I'm in a dream. How come there are such beautiful people in this world?"

"Even if a living person is standing in front of me, I have to secretly unscrew myself and feel pain before I can be sure that this is real."

They have no boundaries when it comes to boasting, and they say nice things as if they don't need money.

If you continue to listen, you should find a crack to get in. Shen Qiqi coughed lightly.

Hearing the noise, several nuns turned their heads and saw Shen Qiqi with a red face, smiling and saluting.

"The girl is back, but are you tired?"

"Coincidentally, Nanny Zhang has just fumigated the house with mugwort, so it's a good time to rest now."

In early spring, mosquitoes begin to come out, and the house needs to be fumigated from time to time. Otherwise, if bugs get in and the girls are frightened, it is their fault.

In previous years, I smoked it myself, but this year I can avoid being lazy. Shen Qiqi responded, "Is grandma's house also smoked?"

"It's been smoked. Every room in the courtyard has been smoked. Even every corner of the courtyard has been smoked. Aunt Zhang has not spared it."

Shen Qiqi smiled and nodded, "Then, ladies, let's continue chatting. I'll go take a nap."

"But mommies, please keep your voice down. Although we don't have many people coming here easily, we still have to be careful that the walls have ears."

The yard is not big, and Shen Qiqi is not a busy person. She only has a small amount of work every day, and after finishing it, she can do her own thing.

The nuns smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, girl, I know this."

"You go in and spread out the bedding for the girl. Remember that the window at the back cannot be opened. Watch out for flying insects coming in and scaring the girl."

Aunt He gave a few words of warning, but when she saw Jinbao Yinbao's smiling face, she really couldn't rest assured.

"I'd better go to the shop. You two little girls look like you're out of character, so you can't handle this."

Although they had never made beds or folded quilts for others before, neither of them had been raised in a pampered manner, so there was nothing they couldn't do such a small thing.

Seeing that they were being looked down upon, Jinbao and Yinbao stopped Grandma He outside, "Grandma, just go and have a good chat. The girl is here for us."

"That's right, we have designated to take care of the good girl, so go and get busy."

They were young and skilled, but Grandma He was unwilling to fight hard with them. She tried to pull her apart twice, but she could only feel discouraged and give in to their wishes.

"That's all, I can't compete with you two little girls. Go quickly and don't miss the girl's rest."

Seeing that grandma had stopped thinking, Jinbao Yinbao smiled and responded, as if she would regret it, and closed the door again.

It was just a matter of making the bed and bedding, and she was still guarding herself. Aunt He looked helpless and stared at the closed door. After a few breaths, she shook her head.

Although there was no more work now, because Shen Qiqi was resting inside, the nuns stopped talking and took out their sewing boxes one after another.

Jinbao Yinbao waited for Shen Qiqi to fall asleep before coming out. When he saw some nuns sitting on the porch doing needlework, he paced over to them.

"Mommy, are you making shoes for the girl?"

Nanny Lin glanced at her, quite dumbfounded.

I've been staring here for a while, still asking questions knowingly.

"If it's not for girls, why don't we do it for you two bastards?"

Jinbao glanced at Yinbao, who was still staring at her seriously, then turned to look at Nanny Lin, rubbing her hands, grinning with big white teeth, and smiling silly.

"Although it will be a little embarrassing, if grandma insists on doing it for us, then the two of us sisters can still accept it reluctantly."

The hope in his eyes almost turned into reality and ran out, and he was still talking harshly.

Nanny Lin was so dumbfounded by what she said that she moved aside to make room for the two of them.

"Help put the soles on these shoes, and I will make them for you so that you can 'reluctantly' accept them."

The mansion has prepared a lot of clothes and shoes for the maids, and there are two new sets every month, so the two of them have no shortage of clothes.

What I said just now was just a test, but I didn't expect that grandma would immediately agree.

The embroidery skills in the house are not half as good as those of grandma, and the clothes and shoes they make for the maids are even more perfunctory. Now that grandma wants to make them for them, Jin Bao is very enthusiastic.

She sat next to her nanny, took away the soles and started threading. Seeing that Yin Bao was still standing stupidly, she pulled her to sit down while feeling disgusted.

"I don't know what's wrong with you girl. Your brain is getting worse and worse. You used to be able to move on your own, but now you have to be pushed and shouted at to do anything."

Yin Bao was not angry even after being told that. He held the soles of his shoes and worked hard. After a long time, he muttered, "I'm fine."

"That's good. It took you so long to reply to me. If no one had spoken just now, I wouldn't have known you were replying to me."

He only said four words, but she replied so much. Yinbao opened his mouth, thought for a while and said nothing.

When I say it, she will definitely start chirping a lot again. Not to mention whether it will wake the girl up, even my ears can't stand it.
