Chapter 403

Naturally, Rongxiu also saw the lost expressions on these women's faces. Their looks were really in the middle, but because there was nothing outstanding, they stayed on the first floor and could only face all kinds of benefactors every day.

But the women on the second floor are different. They often have unique skills, beautiful appearance and noble character. Therefore, the high-ranking officials and noble people like these women very much.

As soon as Zhou Yian came in, he looked to the second floor. Jing bang was the son of the housekeeper of Xiao's house. He thought he had a lot of money. But before he went up, Rong Xiu held him: "you see, is that Jingbang?"

Sure enough, among a group of Yingying, Yingyan and Yanyan, Jing Bang is just the one who is the least surprised to drink. He is not happy when he looks like that. When he raises his eyes, he sees Rong Xiu and Zhou Yi'an. All of his drunkenness just now wakes up, and he subconsciously wants to run outside.

Zhou Yian stretched out his hand and grabbed Jing bang. He said, "it seems that brother Jingbang is drunk."

"This Master Zhou Mrs. Zhou Shao I'm afraid this kind of land of fireworks may pollute you both... " Jingbang frowned tightly. Seeing him like that, he knew that he was really embarrassed.

"Have a cup of tea first." Rong Xiu changed the cup on the table and put a cup of hot tea in front of Jingbang: "it's good to talk after drinking tea."

Jingbang had no choice but to drink the tea into his mouth. At the moment, the wine had already woken up most of the time: "you two gold, I don't know what you want to do for me..."

"This is not a place to talk." Zhou Yian took out several tens of liang of silver and asked for an elegant room and a girl to play the piano slowly behind the curtain.

A few people then sat in the elegant room to talk. This was also to prevent the walls from having ears. Jing Bang understood everything when he saw these things. He sighed: "young master, young lady, you don't have to say anything. I already understand. You can ask what you have to say."

"I want to know what's going on in Xiao's house and how the people inside and outside have changed?" Zhou Yi'an is not so polite. Even if he says, "now, is the old prince still in the mansion?"

Jing Bang sighed: "if the old prince is still there, how can I let my father not stay in the mansion? Since master Zhou and his wife went to the new residence, the weather changed. First of all, the old lady fell ill, and the whole person was so sick that she gave the second lady all the power to take care of the affairs in the family... "

"The second lady is a decisive person. She should not make mistakes in handing it to her." Although the two ladies were decisive people, she was not easy to get along with each other, and her mind was very deep. I can't say that she tried her best to seize the power of the old prince.

"This The second lady was just like that. Later, it was master Xiao who said that there were many things in the house, but we people did not do well. He even found a group of inexplicable people to replace the original people's position Those of us who have been in the mansion for a long time have been driven back, but for my father My father has made some small fortune in the government these years. I'm afraid that... " Jing Bang lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.

"Before you left the mansion, didn't the second lady and master Xiao come to power?" Zhou Yian immediately stood up: "these two are not easy to deal with."

"Yes, since Miss Zhu was expelled from the inner courtyard, the third lady has been in a bad state. She has been hiding in her room every day, and she has never been willing to come out."

Jing Bang shakes his head: "even if she comes out, how can she be equal to the second lady? As for the first lady, she eats fast and chants Buddhism every day. It seems that she is going to become a monk, not to mention Miss Lu. It is useless."

Yes, with the help of the second Madame, if the eldest lady didn't wake up, she would not be able to do it. Rong Xiu thought, "it seems that laotaijun's illness is strange. A few days ago, he was still in good health. Even if he was ill like a mountain, he was not so quick."

"Speaking of it, since the old prince was ill, the doctor who has been seeing a doctor has not come. Instead, I don't know him. How can you know how bad the old man is when he comes suddenly?"

"Well, we'll find a way to get in." Rong embroidery face is a trace of banter chuckle: "you can't tell me, you have no way to go back."

"This..." Jingbang sheepishly scratched his head: "yes, it's true. It's some secret. The young master and the young lady are all noble people. Where can they get contaminated with these things?"

"What can't be done?" Zhou Yi'an's face was determined: "I have to find the old prince before I can make a long-term decision. Don't you want your father to return to Xiao's house earlier?"

"This Naturally, I want to... " Jing Bang bit his teeth and said, "master Xiao and his wife have changed their servants before and after, but there is one place they haven't changed, which is the small kitchen. They usually attach great importance to their identity, so they won't go to these places So inside and outside the small kitchen, there are my father and my people. There are so many people in Xiao's house. Every two days, someone will send food. Today is the time to deliver food... "

"Well, that's interesting." Rong Xiu immediately said, "let's go into the house disguised as a vegetable delivery man and a vegetable delivery woman, but I have to make some Ma boiling powder first If someone finds out who we are, we can deal with it. "Soon, the three of them settled down, and then they met at the back door of Xiao's house. Rong Xiu and Zhou Yi'an both wore broad bamboo hats. It happened that there was some snow today, and it was just right to wear a hat. Three people push the vegetable cart together, and soon walk into the back door, but see a few courtyard guards are not more suspicious.

Along the backyard path, it takes a moment to get to the back kitchen, where the people are very busy. After a while, the food will be ready. The dense heat came out of the cage drawer. The cook or the assistant cook was not happy.

"Well, it's hard enough for our kitchen. I didn't expect to get something here. Can you tell me how many days we haven't seen meat and fish?"

"Since the old lady is not in good health, it has always been so..."

"Hum, how much money is flowed out of our house every day. Even today, we can't afford to eat the bird's nest."

These people have a lot of talk, Rong Xiu listen to in the ear, a moment to know, it seems that old Taijun's life is also very bad.

In his life, the old prince did not have any hardships. To this day, he ate a full ten, which is really a pity.
