The Eldest Daughter's Marrying into the Highest Royalty
The next day, getting up early, Jiuniang was still thinking about her dream last night.
Really don't know how I had such a dream? Really hard to explain...
"Your Highness, what are you smiling at?" Suddenly asked Cui Cui, who was serving her hair.
"Did I laugh?" Jiuniang was taken aback and asked Cuiqiao.
Cui Qiao nodded slightly.
Jiujie suddenly felt a bit awkward, cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Help me braid my hair into a bun today."
"Yes!" Cui Qiao responded, and then helped her comb her hair. As she combed, she whispered in her ear, "Yesterday I heard a commotion from the wing room, so I went to take a look. It turned out that Xue Hua was scolding the little maid again, and the little maid was crying like a tearful person..."
"Hmm... I don't want that hairpin anymore, help me put a flower on it instead!" But Jiu Jie suddenly interrupted her.
Cui Qiao was taken aback by his words, let out a somewhat helpless sigh, then put down the hairpin and went to pick up the pearl flower.
After dressing up, Jiujiu didn't wait for Cuiqiao to support her and stood up to walk outside. However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Cuiqiao, "Please ask Yang Wujia's family to come over."
"Oh!"
"Yang Wuniang has arrived." Just after paying respects and returning, before even sitting down, Cuijiao came in.
"Ah, come on in!" The ninth sister heard this and immediately nodded her head.
She was a tall and slender woman, with a round face and willow eyebrows, almond eyes, wearing a crimson-colored jacket, her hair combed shiny and neat, looking very elegant. However, the flattering color between her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth that were always slightly raised unintentionally greatly ruined the beauty.
The ninth sister couldn't help but secretly shake her head in her heart, just one look and you could tell he was a troublemaker.
"The old slave has seen the princess!" The Yang Five Daughter-in-law was already smiling and giving her a curtsy.
"Hey, get up!" But Jiujiu just waved her hand lightly.
"Yes!" On Yang Wuniang's face, a hint of sadness flashed by, but her expression became much more solemn.
The ninth sister couldn't help but secretly curve her lips upwards as she watched.
This is what they call teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
That old woman is clever and has a good sense of measure, so dealing with her requires being swift and decisive, taking her by surprise; while that Zheng kitchen maid is simple and honest but also dull and wooden, naturally requiring a sincere and heartfelt approach to win her over; as for this Yang Wujia's family, the aloof and arrogant attitude of those in a superior position must be brought out.
However, she was straightforward about what needed to be done, so she beckoned for Cui Qiao and Qing Xing to come over and serve tea to Yang Wu's wife.
This enthusiasm made Yang Wuniangzi feel somewhat honored and surprised, and her gaze at Jiujiu also became more complicated and cautious.
At such a young age, you're already so mysterious and hard to figure out!
The ninth sister could naturally feel the inquiring gaze that came to her, but she didn't make a sound, lightly using the lid of the cup to stir the tea foam on the surface of the water, letting her take stock.
Until she suddenly realized her mistake, hurriedly lowered her head, and rubbed the hem of her clothes with both hands in distress, Jiu Si'er took a light sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked at her saying, "Today I asked Mother to come over, there is something that troubles me..."
"Where is the princess?" Just as she was about to finish speaking, Yang Wu's family quickly stood up and said, "It is my duty to serve the princess, please instruct me."
"Mom, what's going on? Hurry up and sit down." Jiuniang saw her and immediately smiled and asked her to sit.
Yang Wujia's family followed with a couple of smiles and sat down accordingly.
"My room is still short of a few second-class little maids. Mother, take a look and see if there are any suitable ones, help me pick a few." The Ninth Sister then said.
Yang Wu's family listened in stunned silence, then hastily nodded, "This... the old slave will go and take care of it right away!" He said as he was about to get up and leave.
"Not busy!" However, Jiu sister waved her hand and said, "Mom is really a quick person, but where's the hurry? Sit for a while and have a cup of tea."
Yang Wuniang, who had been thinking of getting close to her master, sat down again upon hearing this.
The ninth sister ordered Cuiqiao to continue serving tea, and then she chatted with Yang Wuniang in a casual manner. After chatting for a while, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, there's one more thing, when choosing a daughter-in-law, see if you can find someone who is clever and wise, and a bit older..."
“……”
"In the study of Wang Ye, only Chuo Hua was busy and couldn't keep up. Then, under Yang Wuniang's surprised gaze, Jiu Sier slowly spoke out the second half of the sentence, and as expected, she saw Yang Wuniang's eyes light up."
She couldn't help but curve up the corners of her lips once again in her heart...
In the evening when they were asking after each other's well-being, Ninth Sister again mentioned to Qin Shi the matter of Yang Guo Feng's study maid, and Qin Shi only said to let her handle it herself.
The next day, Yang Wuniang led a few little girls over with a smile and introduced them to Jiu Sier one by one.
Finally, the last one wearing a green silk jacket with embroidered vines, who was slightly older, Yang Wuniang smiled even more sweetly as she looked at Jiu Si'er and said, "This is my niece from my mother's side, this year she's also fourteen years old. When she was young, she was born weak, so she didn't come to work as a servant girl. Now that she's grown up a bit, her body has also become more robust. Thinking of the kindness and generosity of the princess, I thought of bringing her over to serve the princess."
"Zi Juan, quickly kowtow to the princess!" After that, Yang Wu's wife pulled the little girl again.
"Zi Juan has seen the princess!" The little girl immediately gave Jiu a solemn bow and knocked her head.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly!" Jiujie hastily signaled to Cuiqiao on the side to pull that little girl up.
Yeah, don't mention it, really is Peugeot!
Her face is fair and delicate, with fine eyebrows and eyes, and her slender figure makes her a lovely and charming young beauty.
In this kind of thinking, such a beauty, if not sent to the master's house as a concubine or a servant girl, would be a waste of heaven's gift...
"The princess, this niece of mine may not be a beauty, but she has a good temperament and is clever. She also followed my brother who manages the household to learn a few characters, so please don't despise her, Your Highness, and grant her a minor position." Yang Wu's wife said again.
"Mother is being modest, this purple quail looks like a good one!" Jiuniang glanced at Yang Wuniangzi, then looked at the purple quail again and nodded with a smile.
"It's nothing, nothing..." Yang Wuniang said with her mouth, but on her face, there was an uncontrollable joy that couldn't be concealed.
"Go call Qiao Hua over!" Jiujie turned to Cuiqiao on the other side.
As soon as the words were spoken, the purple quail with its head lowered couldn't reveal its expression, but Yang Wuniang's eyes on the side couldn't help flashing a burst of wild joy.
The princess personally arranged it, really giving her enough face, how could she not be happy?
The ninth sister naturally had this in mind, but she just smiled secretly and then picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
Soon, Cui Qiao led a slender young maid into the house. The maid was wearing a light pink embroidered jacket with a floral pattern, her nose was like a hanging gallbladder, her teeth were white and clean, and she had a pair of bright and beautiful big eyes, she was a standard beauty with a good temperament.
It's really Qiaohua, the big servant girl who serves in Yang Guofeng's study!
"I've seen the princess!" Xue Hua gave Jiu a respectful bow.
The ninth sister waved her hand to let her get up, then pointed at Zi Juan behind Yang Wuniang and said, "Qiaohua, there are many things to do in the study, I'm worried that you can't handle it, so I found a helper for you."
Nuo Chuo Hua listened and couldn't help but be stunned, turning her head to look at Zi Juan, but when her beautiful eyes fell on Zi Juan's flower-like face, her expression stiffened.
"Let's tidy up that study room together another day, and I hope you two can get along well!" Ninth Sister said with a glance at the clever flower, her tone calm.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Chao Hua replied hastily, lowering her head.
"The princess, this arrangement is really... truly wonderful." After sending away the crowd, only Cui Cui and Jiu Jie were left in the house. At that time, Cui Cui immediately smiled and praised Jiu Jie.
"What's going on? What's so great? Too much talk!" Ninth Sister glared at her, then said, "Go get me some snacks, I'm hungry."
"Hmm!" Cui Qiao smiled and turned away.
Watching her back disappear at the door, Jiuniang leaned her body against the pillow behind her and suddenly remembered Yang Wuniang's words of gratitude when she left earlier, and couldn't help but laugh too.
This purple quail will be brought before Yang Guofeng by her today or another day.
A few days ago, Na Luo's mother had already hinted to her that Yang Wu's daughter was already engaged and would not be married into the fourth house, but rather to Qiu Feng Pavilion.
Qiu Feng Pavilion, in the main hall of the outer courtyard, is named after two tall and luxuriant maple trees at the entrance of the house, where Yang Guofeng works.
The purpose of doing so is nothing more than hoping to get Yang Guofeng's favor and jump onto the branch like Chouyu Chouhuan.
She started listening and apart from despising and ridiculing in her heart Yang Guofeng and those who had intentions towards Xiaosan, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, she didn't pay attention to anything else.
But later, she accidentally heard that Yang Wu and Luo's mother-in-law in the embroidery room were distant relatives of her daughter-in-law, and suddenly understood that Luo's mother was also probing her indirectly.
Since it's like this, why not bring her in? This way, Yang's wife will be grateful and also be kept under control.
Of course, apart from this, there is another item, that is, to give the big girl Chuo Hua in the study a wake-up call and let her figure it out.
This clever girl had been the housekeeper of this study for a long time, and because she was born into slavery, not only could she read and write, but she was also very intelligent, and was deeply trusted by Yang Guo Feng.
What was on her mind was unknown, but this made the girl quite a bit arrogant, and even once had a dispute with Qingtao.
Of course, this is also just a trivial matter. As the legitimate wife, she naturally wouldn't bother to intervene, for two reasons: firstly, it would be beneath her and might lead to gossip; secondly, it might also displease Yang Guofeng.
So in that study, placing another pot of beautiful flowers that rivals the other one is the most ideal!
Is this also a backyard weighing technique?
I don't know how Yang Guofeng will react when he comes back and sees another bunch of flowers around him.
"Princess, Princess, Old Lady Meng has a severe headache, please go and see her." Just as she was lost in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qing Xiang led in Cui Lan, who had a worried look on her face.
The ninth sister was taken aback for a moment and suddenly remembered that when she paid her respects in the morning, although Old Lady Meng's spirit was not bad, her complexion seemed to be really poor.
It must be the pent-up anger from the past few days, suddenly unleashed.
Time was of the essence, she immediately followed Zhenbao straight to Taihe Hall...
