Time flew by and it was the ninth day of April. Gu Panfu had received gifts from all over the past few days. The old lady also invited her to Desuyuan and gave her a list of people in the palace and five thousand taels.
Silver note. Gu Panfu was not surprised when she got the list. For a family like Anyang Houfu, it was normal for the palace to have some personnel. But she did not intend to use this list easily, unless it was a life or death situation, or under the emperor's nose.
Using eyeliner is pure suicide.
The old lady also mentioned something vaguely that her family would send her some money from time to time, hoping that she would keep in touch with her family. Gu Panfu did not agree to this, and only smiled and said that she would inform her family of important matters.
Mrs. Li also came to see her once, with a bad look on her face. She talked about the eldest young master Gu Huasi, and even threatened her with Aunt Sun. Although Gu Panfu was optimistic about her eldest brother Gu Huasi, there was no need for her to swallow her anger in front of Mr. Li now.
She replied a few words indifferently, which hurt Mrs. Li's face. Mrs. Li was very angry at that time, and wanted to pretend to be sick to tease Gu Panfu, but before half a day passed, the old lady called her to warn her, so she had to endure it.
Take this breath.
As for Aunt Sun, Gu Panfu entrusted her to the old lady. She only hoped that Aunt Sun could live the rest of her life in peace and that no one in the house would treat her harshly. When she went to see Aunt Sun this time, she brought her a lot of money.
Aunt Sun also realized that if her daughter entered the palace and became a concubine, it would be difficult to see her again, so she had a friendly meal with Gu Panfu.
Gu Panfu is going to the palace tomorrow, and is currently thinking about what else has not been arranged. When she sees Hanrui packing her things, it suddenly occurs to her that she will also bring a personal maid into the palace. With her status, when entering the palace
She can only take one person with her. In her heart, she actually prefers Hanrui. Hanrui is stable and careful and is more suitable for the harem, but she always has to ask Hanrui's wishes before making a decision.
"Miss, I just passed by the kitchen. I heard from Mrs. Zhang that the Fourth Miss was still making a lot of noise. But the Fourth Miss will be married to Nanguang soon. See if she still dares to be arrogant." Hanxiang chirped as she came in, her voice full of excitement.
Rushing.
Hanrui saw her young lady's slightly frowned eyebrows and pulled Hanxiang: "That's what we can say about the fourth lady."
Hanxiang pursed her lips when she heard the words: "What's the matter? The young lady is choosing a servant now. The fourth young lady made a mistake and was imprisoned. How can she compare?" Gu Panxin's performance in the draft was already dismissed by her boss the day she came back.
The old lady of the Marquis knew about it. After the banquet was held that night, she was locked up in the small courtyard behind Deshou Yuan. The old lady decided to marry her to a remote place in Nanguang. No matter how she cried, she got married.
He would never let her out before. In the past few days, Gu Panxin's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, almost cried her eyes out.
"Hanxiang," Gu Panfu said. Hanxiang has become more and more unruly in the past few days because of her selection, and even accepted the filial piety of many people below. "Are you willing to enter the palace with me?"
When Hanxiang heard Gu Panfu calling her, she timidly shut her mouth at first. Then she heard the young lady asking her if she would like to enter the palace, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She had received a lot of good things in the past few days, and even heard people say
There is endless glory and wealth in the palace. If in the future I can get the emperor's favor like the young lady, wouldn't it... She thought of this and quickly knelt down and nodded: "Yes, young lady, I am willing."
Gu Panfu looked at the desire and ambition in Hanxiang's eyes. A gentle smile appeared on her face, but her eyes were extremely cold: "You want to enter the palace, but I can't take you. For the sake of you and my master and servant,
For your sake, I will return your body deed and go out of the house."
A fragrant smile froze on her face, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Panfu. Seeing the cold look in Gu Panfu's eyes, she suddenly realized what she had done these days. She was like a demon, and she listened to whatever anyone said.
If you don't go in, your mind will be full of glory and wealth. "Slave, slave" with the fragrance shaking like chaff, kowtowing constantly, "Miss, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please don't drive me away."
, please miss.”
"Hanxiang, I don't want to say unnecessary words a second time. You know my methods."
Hanxiang's face turned pale, and she kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. For a long time, she couldn't hear what Gu Panfu said. She picked up the body deed on the ground with trembling hands. There was a nameless anger in her heart. She had served Gu Panfu for so many years, and she had suffered without any merit.
Lao, this is what happened. She wanted to yell, but when she met Gu Panfu's eyes, she couldn't say a word with trembling lips, and staggered out.
Hanrui pursed her lips and watched Gu Panfu deal with Hanxiang. She wanted to follow her young lady into the palace. Her parents were gone and there was only one aunt in the family. She had followed the young lady since she was a child, and she knew that the young lady treated them well.
Yes, she couldn't have such dirty thoughts as Hanxiang, and she wouldn't sympathize with Hanxiang. She was just a little nervous, fearing that the lady would not trust her because of Hanxiang, so she knelt down with a plop: "Miss, slave
I am willing to enter the palace with the lady. I will always serve the lady and be loyal."
"Have you thought about it? If you follow me into the palace, you can't look back. I know that you are different from Hanxiang. If you have difficulties, I will not force you." Gu Panfu looked at Hanrui, who had been with her for so many years.
, she knew Hanrui’s character.
"I have already thought about it. I will go wherever the young lady goes."
"Okay, I believe you." Gu Panfu helped Hanrui up and gave her a purse. "There are many variables in Beijing. Give this money to your aunt and let her go back to her hometown for retirement."
Hanrui's eyes were red. The young lady thought carefully and relieved her worries: "Yes, thank you, young lady."
On the tenth day of April, the palace's sweetheart came to pick her up on time. When Gu Panfu stood at the door of the palace again, she finally felt as if she had entered the palace and the dust had settled.
The little eunuch who led the way immediately came forward diligently: "This slave will lead the way for you to choose your master."
Gu Panfu nodded: "Thank you."
The little eunuch led Gu Panfu through several round arches, then around several palaces, and finally entered the imperial garden.
"Look, Master Choi, this is the Imperial Garden. Your residence is behind the Imperial Garden."
At a glance, Gu Panfu saw that the Imperial Garden was full of spring colors, with hundreds of flowers blooming. There was also a rockery setting, which looked like a fairyland. To the north of the Imperial Garden was Taiye Lake, which was filled with water vapor, adding a hazy feeling to the scenery. The little eunuch
There is a flower-pierced arch on the west side of the Imperial Garden.
Gu Panfu followed the little eunuch through the arch, and what she saw was a emerald green bamboo forest. An exquisite small building was located in the bamboo forest, with a plaque reading "Weiyu Xiaozhu".
Hanrui, who was following beside her, exclaimed softly: "Master, what a beautiful place."
Gu Panfu was actually amazed. She was already prepared to live in a palace with other people, and was even prepared to have a palace with a chief seat. But now she fell in love with this place at first sight, and showed a sincere smile:
"Han Rui, look at it."
Hanrui came to her senses and gave the eunuch who was leading the way a purse containing two taels of silver. The eunuch took the purse with a smile and left.
Gu Panfu walked inside and saw three maids and two eunuchs kneeling in front of the small building.
"My servant Qinyu, my servant Taohong, my servant Xingchun, my servant Xiao Dengzi, and my servant Xiao Dezi meet my master."
Gu Panfu looked at Qin Yu's familiar face and smiled slightly: "Everyone, get up."
The criteria for selecting an attendant are one maid in charge, two first-class maids, two rough maids, and two rough eunuchs.
Gu Panfu's eyes flashed across their faces. Taohong Xingchun was very young, and the two eunuchs were not very old: "I don't have any rules here, just do your job well. Don't touch my bottom line, I have always been
It is tolerant.”
"Yes, I will follow my master's teachings."
"Well, Hanrui, each of you will be given ten taels of silver, which will be considered as my meeting gift. Qinyu, Aunt Ma, come in with me." Gu Panfu turned around and entered the room. Of course, she was not surprised that Qinyu was here.
Qinyu served her wholeheartedly for several days during the talent show. Although she was not very smart, she was better at being obedient. A few days ago, she asked Mother Ma to check Qinyu's details. She was born in a poor family.
She was sold to the palace when her family could no longer afford rice. Over the years in the palace, she had done things honestly, so she asked Aunt Ma to take the money and distribute it to her.
The house has been tidied up, the items are placed simply and elegantly, and the areas are divided into reasonable and comfortable areas. However, there are some empty items on the Duobao shelf, waiting for her, the owner, to add them.
Qin Yu and Ma Ma stood in front of the hall. Gu Panfu was not in a hurry to say anything. Instead, she looked at the entire small building. The second floor of the small building was a high platform with railings. Gu Panfu thought about putting a picture on it.
A soft couch, wouldn't it be beautiful?
When she came down from the second floor, Hanrui happened to be back. Gu Panfu walked to the low couch and sat down: "Qinyu, I have been with you for a few days, and I think you are honest and obedient, so I asked you to come and serve me."
She then pointed at Hanrui and said: "I brought this from home, and its name is Hanrui. Today I will change your name to Hanrui. You and Hanrui will serve as first-class maids. I hope you will not disappoint me."
"
Hanlu knelt down and kowtowed three times: "I thank the master for the name. I will do my best and live up to my master's appreciation." Hanlu didn't say anything about whether she was loyal or not. The master saw whether she was loyal or not. As long as she did a good job
Serve the master, and the master will know it over time.
"Okay, get up." Gu Panfu called Hanlu up and raised her hand to signal Hanrui Hanlu to go out first. Hanrui was a little excited and pulled Hanlu to talk. She didn't go far and stayed at the door.
Only Grandma Ma was left.
"Mom, I have to thank you for the nudity."
"This is what a slave should do. I don't dare to thank the master." Mother Ma lowered her head slightly, still humble and respectful. The first day she came to Gu Xuanshi, she realized that this master was a
She is a person with great ideas. She has a lot of problems in her heart and needs advice, but she doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do. She is lucky to have such a master, so she naturally has to show her utmost sincerity.
"Mommy is an old man in the palace. I just entered the palace and didn't understand many things. Then I will have to rely on grandma." Gu Panfu deliberately said a word to test Mother Ma. Mother Ma came to her side.
She acted very cautiously and gave suggestions and tips. It was quite satisfactory, but she couldn't guarantee that there was no one behind her, so she needed to observe her for a while.
"I don't dare to do that. The master orders me to do whatever I want."
Gu Panfu smiled: "Call Hanrui Hanlu in and decorate the room."
"Master, Aunt Zilan who is with the Queen is here." As soon as Gu Panfu finished speaking, Hanlu reported at the door.
