Chapter 20

It turned out that her name was Shen QingHan, Miss eight of Shen's house. Does she still remember that she was the daughter of the prime minister and the lady of the aristocratic family?

Hearing the name of Youlan, yeqiu Ni also had an impression, "yes, the daughter of Tongfang, Shen QingHan."

People suddenly realized that they thought of such a person.

"OK, that's a good idea. There are people coming from the palace and the specific guest list will be reported soon." because only the number of people was counted before, Shen Chenyan came to count the specific guest list this evening. Shen Chenyan thought Shen Anyan's method was very good. He thought of such a person and handed it to yeqiu Ni immediately. "Just change Yalan's position to Shen QingHan."

Night Qiu Ni nodded. The atmosphere was not so heavy, and Shen Yan was a lot lighter. When the dinner was ready, the people in the palace came to count the names. Night Qiu Ni ordered people to entertain the people. After reporting the names through a cumbersome process, he gave them money to drink tea. The people in the palace left slowly and counted the next family.

"How is Shen QingHan now? We don't know. Why don't we meet Shen QingHan?" Yexiao suddenly asked such a question.

Shen Shen nodded and said, "yes, let's meet her first."

Night autumn Ni didn't forget her loving mother image at this time. She also sent her close maid Ju ye to find Shen QingHan.

At this time, in the laundry room, a girl just over eleven was still working. She squatted in the laundry room with pollen and perfume liquid beside her. She was washing clothes together like all her maidservants.

"Qingya, the Mid Autumn Festival is coming. It's said that better things will be distributed in the factotum this time! How many can you acquiesce in going out to watch the lights and play!" squatting opposite the "maid" called "Qingya", a maid in coarse cloth and plain clothes is washing clothes, which is similar to Qingya's age.

She picked up her hand, which had been soaked in the basin for a long time. It was red and swollen, and it was wrinkled by the blisters. She rubbed her hand hard. It was very cold in this weather.

Qingya raised her head. "Really? Yi Lan, who did you listen to? Why is this?"

Yi Lan on the opposite side repeated what she heard in the kitchen today: "Oh! It's still false. Select several people to go out to buy supplies, and tacitly allow them to go out to the theatre. This time, the lady took the eldest lady into the palace, but she was in a good mood. The eldest lady was about to reach her hairpin..."

Before he finished, a light flashed in and the door of the laundry was pushed open.

"Hey! What are you doing? You're still chewing your tongue! Be careful not to give you dinner after the time tonight!"

This is the new steward of their laundry, Ni steward. I don't know why the former steward disappeared. Neon suddenly became the steward. It is said that neon harmed the former steward and stuffed the Qi family with silver. But it doesn't matter who died, who was transferred and who was distributed. It's just the boring talk behind them.

"Ni is in charge." Qingya and Yilan see neon, get up and say. Neon is famous for worshiping high and stepping low. They are very mean to servants. Almost all the people who have worked under her are dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" neon shouted with her hands on her hips. "Work, you are so lazy. Our laundry can't stand the top reward. I think you girls who come to work have problems. If you don't do anything all day, you will be lazy!"

Yi Lan blushed anxiously and explained wrongfully, "Ni steward, we didn't! We just talked a little gossip!" how hard they worked. It was so cold that their hands were swollen and red. They would be punished for not having dinner. Neon loved to find a chance to train them. What a high position to take ourselves as a laundry steward!

"What?" neon was obviously angry. "How dare you talk back to me, a dead girl!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped it hard on Yi Lan's face. "You kneel down!"

Then while Yi Lan hasn't eased from the pain of that slap, her backhand is a loud slap in the face.

When Qingya saw this scene, she was obviously afraid. She was going to talk back and took it back. She leaned forward to salute and begged, "good sister neon, don't worry about us."

Neon holds her head high, looks noble, and looks at Yilan with ridicule and disdain. Take out the embroidered handkerchief, shake it open, wipe the hand that just hit Yilan, as if it was too dirty.

"Be careful for me later!" neon rolled her eyes, then turned to Qingya and said, "this time, deduct your monthly salary for one month first."

Yi Lan's eyes were already in tears. The young girl couldn't stand such anger. She was still too impulsive and roared, "who do you think you are? Don't you just..."

It happened almost at the same moment

Neon was so angry that she kicked Yilan. Just about to swear, he began to shout a word. Suddenly, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared outside the door, leaving neon stunned.

And the woman just saw all this.

As soon as Ju ye came in, she saw a scene here. The chaos here made her don't want to speak at all. Ju Ye closed her eyes and opened them again. She still didn't open her mouth to say a word. She looked helpless and didn't want to see their expressions.

"Girl? Who are you? I haven't seen you before. How did you come to such a place?" neon thought it was a young lady in the house or a housekeeper like Qi, who was in charge of some handmaids. Of course, it can also manage them. It is estimated that there is something to inform them of the laundry.

Chrysanthemum leaf disdained to talk to such a person, raised her head, and the slender and beautiful curve of her neck made her out of place in this dark and humid laundry. Ju Ye seemed to make a noise with her nose and said, "I'm looking for Miss Shen ba. Tomorrow is the Palace Banquet. Take Miss Shen Ba to prepare."

Neon, Yilan and Qingya were stunned. Miss Shen Ba? Who?

Ju Ye looked very calm, as if this eight young lady had always been a young lady in Shen's house. She just called very often.

Call in the laundry.

Qingya didn't seem to react. Ten years ago, she was an ordinary servant girl since she was born. She only heard Youlan mention her father once. After a long time, she was used to it.

But this kind of event, even if only mentioned once, will bury deep roots in the memory.

"I'm Shen Qing..."

Ju Ye doesn't want to listen to her nonsense at all. She just wants to leave the place of Nanxiang factotum as soon as possible.

"OK, I see. Come on, Mr. and Mrs. Xiang want to see you." after saying that, kikuba turned and went out.

Qingya hasn't responded yet. She stares at Yilan in surprise. Yilan is also surprised. Looking at Qingya, she thinks about their dialogue. Qingya can turn over!

"Go quickly! Keep up." Yi Lan hurriedly pushed Qingya for fear that her dream would be dashed.

"... HMM, HMM!" Qingya nodded. From the beginning, she didn't know what mood it was to the present, she seemed to know what had happened! The prime minister is going to recognize his daughter! Neon looks confused and chases Qingya out with her eyes.

Juye took Qingya to the main hall. The scenery all the way seemed to be something Qingya had never seen before. She was amazed at the luxury and prosperity of the prime minister's house.

On rare occasions, she went to the place where the masters were active and left the place where the workers in the South courtyard worked.

But this time, the significance is extraordinary.

As chrysanthemum leaf pushes open the main hall gate, Qingya is surprised to open her mouth. The main Pavilion of the prime minister's house is really as bright and huge as a main hall!

Jinding stone wall is painted with various patterns of birds and flowers. The floor is covered with colored and soft brocade, satin and embroidered carpets. Occasionally, several bright red flames are burning. Stepping on them is warm and soft, bringing warmth to the cold of autumn.

There are beautiful crane and furnace tripod in front, and carefully carved surrounding screen behind. It can only be described by the brilliance of the golden wall, which is both solemn and magnificent.

As soon as the incense burner and heater in the house started, it was obvious that the temperature was very different from that outside.

At this time, people in gorgeous clothes were sitting at the top and both sides of the house, dignified and generous, not angry and self threatening. They were all the masters of the prime minister's house!

Many of them are fresh faces that Qingya has never seen. At ordinary times, you can see the prime minister and his wife, or the eldest lady from a distance. So many masters of the prime minister's house, all aunts and young ladies, are dressed in decent and luxurious clothes. These people are looking at her!

Qingya doesn't know how to speak, Xiangye? madam? Dad? Mother?

She dare not call it that.

She lowered her head, which she had been afraid to lift up, half squatted and knelt down, said great blessings, and didn't call it directly.

"Are you Shen QingHan? Raise your head and let's see you." night qiuni looked at the girl who was dressed no different from her maidservant, and didn't think her temperament was like Shen Shen Yin. She said that this was Shen QingHan, the eighth daughter of the prime minister, and few would believe it.

"I... I am... My name is..." Qingya stammered and wanted to say something. She was nervous and couldn't speak.

"Well, you get up first." yeqiu Ni interrupted Shen QingHan. There is no young lady's posture and temperament. What's the difference between her and an ordinary maid? Night autumn Ni again charged, "your name has been registered with the people in the palace. You will follow to gather autumn banquet tomorrow."

Shen Chenyan looked at the girl in front of him and thought for a moment. He said to yeqiu Ni, "madam, find her a room to live in. Don't let others say that we treat Miss Shen badly."

Shen Shen said naturally, there was no previous memory, and yeqiu Ni nodded.

"You go to the Huichun yard." yeqiu Ni thought for a moment and ordered. "Yan Guo, go and tell me and free the main wing room for eight girls."

Huichun yard is different from other ladies' yards. The young lady has an independent yard and attic, but Huichun yard, as well as the main compartment and several side compartments, are inhabited by people. Different people also live in the management of Qi. Although they are the highest slaves in the house, in the final analysis, they are still slaves working for the prime minister.

But Qingya didn't know so much for the time being. She was just happy that she could go to live in the yard instead of the maidservants' Datong shop. "Thank you, madam!"

Night autumn Ni also said impolitely, "just call my mother". Other young ladies also occasionally call her wife. Besides, Shen QingHan is just a temporary young lady, so she just calls her wife.

"You can tell me what you need." yeqiu Ni asked.

"Madam, the name you gave me was Shen Qingya." Qingya opened her eyes and wanted to correct it. She recalled what her mother said to her. Although she didn't know how to read, she kept this sentence in mind. "You said it came from the poem of spring. She didn't hesitate to trample on the flowers, but only worried about the birds. She flew away behind her back, and there was no place in the forest."

Everyone was silent after listening. I really don't know the etiquette. I can't even look at my face. I really think I'm a young lady. No wonder others say that I'd rather marry your concubine than a poor girl. Shen QingHan's temperament and service are not as good as several personal servant girls in Shen's house!

But the night autumn Ni certainly won't put an ugly face on Shen QingHan, and put on a dignified and loving mother.

Night Xiao saw this scene, smiled at Shen QingHan, slowly opened his mouth, and said, "Ya, ya, the pronunciation is too similar. My daughter's family must like something unusual. If ya is like ya LAN, the ten young ladies in the house. In addition, the person who reported to the palace today is also QingHan. Cao tou's letter is pure and beautiful, refined and as clear as water. It's also very good."

Shen QingHan nodded vaguely. Her eyes were full of confusion and confusion. She was nervous and couldn't think. Her head was hot.

Shen Anyan smiled in her heart. What she said was really nice. The words at the beginning of cursive words meant that life was like grass mustard. Even if she said something fresh and refined, big families were absolutely unwilling to use it. However, some maidservants also take cursive names in order to distinguish them from others.

Looking at this play, the gap between legitimate sons, concubines and maidservants appears at once. If the concubines will be excluded, targeted or jealous by their legitimate sons, there will be no good way for maidservants to have children, just like Shen QingHan's previous life, a lifelong slave.
