Chapter 1557 Repaying Gratitude Must Learn to Accept
Holding the heavy money bag, Shadow was very curious and opened the bag and looked at it before entering the palace.
At this glance, everyone was dumbfounded.
The bag full of gold simply dazzled his eyes.
The changes before and after were so great that he couldn't accept them for a while.
"Why are you here? The princess asked you to come over."
At this moment, the housekeeper from the palace ran over and took Shadow towards the inner courtyard.
Those small steps are very fast.
The housekeeper is now envious of Shadow. From a small worker, he suddenly changed his mind and began to take care of the young master's daily life.
According to the behavior of a rich man, there are always beautiful maids around him.
But he is completely different from other young masters in his own family.
Growing up, all the people who took care of him were men. Now that he is almost an adult, he still needs a male guardian to take care of him.
"What does the princess want from me?"
"Ask me about the young master's situation. By the way, the most important thing is to ask you for money!"
"Want money?"
Shadow was a little dumbfounded and didn't follow the butler's train of thought at all.
You are still a salaried person, so how can you give the princess any money?
"Yes, the young master used to get money from the princess on this day of every month. He didn't go today, so the princess thought something had happened and asked about your situation."
Shadow understood. Looking at the bag full of gold in his hand, he felt indescribably awkward.
Reach out to a beggar and ask for money, and still feel at ease.
Why did he feel that something was wrong?
"The princess knows where the young master's money comes from?"
"If you know or don't know, will she ask for this money? By the way, how much did that person give you this month?"
Shadow handed the purse to the butler and said, "That's it."
"No way, why are there so many missing?"
"Isn't that enough?" Shadow rolled his eyes. This bag of gold was enough to cover his salary for two years.
"The bag last time was bigger than this time. I am the big boss now, so this little money is just a drop in the bucket."
When he said this, the housekeeper suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "The business will be lost, no, I have to talk to the princess about this."
Shadow followed the other party with questions in his mind and arrived at the place where the princess lived.
At this time, the princess was still sitting in the courtyard reading a book, and there were two maids waiting beside her.
Seeing the shadow coming, he looked up and said, "Did you get the money back?"
Shadow handed out the purse and handed it to the princess.
Looking at the small money bag, the princess frowned, then smiled and said: "Gold?"
Shadow nodded fiercely: "It's all gold, here..."
Before he could finish speaking, the princess interrupted him: "Put it here, and make arrangements by the way to choose a maid for the young master."
"What?" Shadow suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Choose someone younger and more beautiful, someone who knows how to take care of others.
What is your young master like now? He needs to have more contact with the opposite sex. Otherwise, what will he do during the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Shadow looked strange and did not dare to refute, so he nodded in agreement.
"By the way, how are you doing with your recent cooking skills?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Shadow became interested and said quickly: "It's not bad. I basically remember everything the master taught me."
"Just remembering is not enough, you have to practice it. Starting from tomorrow, every three days, the dishes will be served in a different way. When you are ready, let him try it. If you are satisfied, you can make new dishes."
Shadow's face suddenly fell.
"By the way, there is a poetry meeting in the city tomorrow. You can find a way to get the young master to attend."
"Poetry meeting?" Shadow was suddenly dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He knows best who his young master is. He is full of ink, but he never writes or writes, and he seems to be a little disgusted by it.
"Yes, there will definitely be many girls attending the poetry festival. Your task is to find a few for the young master, and then come back and write me all the information about the girls from each family, including their portraits."
If Shadow still doesn't know what the princess has planned, then he is too stupid.
This is to find a wife for his young master.
Can it just be done?
Thinking of the last time the young master went to the royal estate and the beautiful girl deliberately touched him, his reaction was a bit suspenseful.
"The young master and the little princess..." Shadow's voice lowered a bit, obviously caring about this matter.
"The engagement is broken off, Your Majesty's intention!"
In a word, the expressions of the palace manager and the shadow changed, they were all angry and obviously felt a little uncomfortable.
My own prince went through life and death for the Hong family at the border, and the Hong family actually made fun of it.
If the prince knew about this...
"If you retreat, then retreat. It's just that the two of you don't get along. Remember, don't tell the prince about this."
"But……"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Your young master just wants to withdraw.
By the way, has he done anything unusual recently?
I heard from my servant that he hasn’t left the house for several days, so what are he doing hiding in his room?"
Shadow shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to answer.
These days, when he was delivering food to the young master, he saw the young master painting.
For a few days, I just painted that painting, one stroke at a time, and I painted it very seriously.
He also deliberately took a look twice, and it seemed that the painting was of a woman, who looked very beautiful, but had no facial features.
Whether it is the clothes or the decoration on the head, they are all very beautiful, and even the paintings are painted with color.
Only there are no facial features, because the girl has her back to him.
Shadow knew at that time that his young master had grown up and began to miss the young girl.
Well, maybe it just happens when I leave myself alone every time I go out of town.
He is now also very curious as to which family the girl is from, and she is actually attracted by his young master.
What is the girl's family background? Can she be a good match for the prince's family?
Judging from how he looks and his figure, he shouldn't be much different.
In fact, he was curious, and Gu Yun was even more curious.
He was preparing a gift for the girl he had never met.
Although he has never met her, the exchange of letters over the past few years has allowed him to know the other person's habits, hobbies, and what he usually likes to wear.
So he can draw the background, but there is nothing he can do about the facial features.
Looking at the masterpiece in his hand, Gu Yun showed a smile.
The character is completed, it took a few days, and now it's time to paint the environment.
First there is a wide river with two small thatched houses beside the river.
In front of the thatched cottage, there is a table and several stone benches.
It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, describing it stroke by stroke.
In the eyes of outsiders, he may be useless in martial arts, but his literary skills are very solid.
It's just a picture. As long as you can describe it, he can depict it.
What's more, this environment has been in his mind for several years.
"Xiaoying, is the food ready?"
The sound was so loud that it was heard outside the room, but there was no response.
