    Jin Chao was dressed and sitting on the big kang near the window, leaning on the big pillow, and underneath him was a soft cushion mixed with gold silk and embroidered with clouds and cranes.  After a while, light footsteps were heard.

    She raised her head and saw a black head lying on the ground, combed in a bun, clean and without any ornaments.  Qingpu's voice was very smooth and clear: "Slave Qingpu pays homage to the lady."

    When she was a child, she stayed at Ji's house, and Qingpu always stood behind her. She had practiced martial arts, was taller than ordinary women, and was very powerful.  She wanted a little bird's nest in the tree, and she wanted a bunch of beautiful locust flowers, which were all climbed up the tree in twos and twos to help her pick them.  She doesn't talk much and isn't very smart, but she is loyal and very kind to her.

    Qingpu should be eighteen years old this year, long past the age suitable for marriage.

    Jin Chao got off the kang and bent down to help her up.  Qingpu was still the same as she remembered, but he had lost a lot of weight, his face was not as good-looking as before, and his skin was sallow. She took Qingpu's hand, and Qingpu was a little shocked. There is a difference between master and servant, miss.  Why did you hold her hand?

    Jin Chao didn¡¯t want her to pull it back, but looked at the criss-crossing lines on her palm and asked her, ¡°How did you do this?¡±

    Qingpu trembled and whispered: "The slave got it while chopping firewood in the kitchen, it's just a minor injury."

    Jin Chao frowned. She had never chopped firewood before. If she had only chopped firewood, how could she end up like this!

    She looked directly at Qing Pu¡¯s face and asked her, ¡°Has Gu Lan treated you badly?¡±

    Qingpu replied: "Not really, it's just that I have practiced martial arts, so she asked me to chop wood with my hands instead of an axe. I can still do it. The young lady has a body of gold. My hands are rough, so don't hurt the young lady.  ."

    Jin Chao remembered that when she was at Ji's house, Qingpu once took her to climb a tree to catch birds. Later, another maid found out and complained, and her grandmother punished her by kneeling outside the door for two full days.  Jin Chao took the muffins, mung bean cakes, and candies he ate in his arms and gave them to her. Qing Pu ate them greedily from the palm of her hand, licking every crumb of pastries clean.

    She suddenly felt a pain in her heart and her voice became weaker: "Do you blame me for letting you down?"

    Qingpu smiled and shook his head: "When the young lady saved the slave's life, the slave's life belongs to the young lady. Whatever the young lady asks of the slave, the slave will do it. How can I blame you?"

    Jin Chao did not relax after hearing this. Although Qingpu was still the same Qingpu, the two were not as close as before. How could they not hold grudges?  She just likes Qingpu to hold less grudges against her so that she can slowly make up for her.

    Jin Chao thought for a while and then said: "From now on, you will come back and serve me personally. You will be treated as a second-class maid every month, and everything else will be treated as a first-class maid Are you willing?"

    Qingpu knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "I am naturally happy that I can come back to serve you." Her father was a gardener in the Ji family. Her mother died early, and her father loved to drink. He often got drunk and looked for reasons.  He beat and scolded her constantly. Once Qingpu was almost beaten to death and was beaten all over with bruises. That was when the young Jin Chao saved her with just one sentence, and she has been loyal ever since.  Stay by her side.

    Qingpu¡¯s face moved slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly whispered: ¡°Miss, I have been staying in Cuixuanyuan for a year, and some things are still clear to me You must be careful and careful with Miss Er.¡±

    Jin Chao looked at her serious face, but smiled and said, "I know, you just came here not long ago, so you should go down and rest first."

    No matter what, Qingpu was still sincerely loyal to her.

    After Qingpu left, Jin Chao sat quietly on the big kang and thought about the maids around her. Before going outside, she must first make peace with herself. If even the maids around her were not loyal to him, then the road ahead would definitely be difficult for her.  .  Jin Chao wanted to clean up the maids around her first. She definitely couldn't ask for Liuxiang.

    How could she not see clearly what happened just now? The boiling hot water brought by Liu Xiang could cause blisters on her skin. How could it be for her to wash herself with?  Under her nose, Liu Xiang didn't know how to restrain herself, and Cai Fu didn't dare to defend herself after being bullied!  How did he choose this maid back then?

    The origin of the fragrance may need to be understood more clearly.  Maybe I should find someone to find out.

    ????????? Apart from Liuxiang, Zifu is pretty good and can be used after being trained, but Bai Yun is not smart enough and the other two girls are too young

    While Jin Chao was thinking about this, Bai Yun came to tell her that Mother Tong had come to see her.

    Jin Chao was shocked. She must be talking about the registration book. She really wanted to know what she had and how much money she had.

    Mother Tong wears more todayHe wore a little oily gold hairpin and looked beaming with joy. He was holding a book with a blue moir¨¦ pattern in his hand.

    ¡°¡­It took me a day to sort out all of Miss¡¯s things.¡±

    Jin Chao took the booklet and read it, and couldn't help but secretly speechless.  She knew she had a lot of stuff when she was young, but she didn't expect she had so much.  The number of antique calligraphy and paintings, household items, vases, utensils, gold and silver jewelry is dazzling.

    Five bats present a pair of twelve golden hairpins, four pairs of silver hair buns inlaid with precious stones, seven pairs of jade bracelets, two boxes of yellow prehnite, five boxes of gold and silver jewelery flowers ten pieces of blue and white porcelain, four pieces of red porcelain, seven pieces of cloisonn¨¦,  Eight pieces of white porcelain

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off?????

    Most of them were brought back from the Ji family or sent by her grandmother every month. The Ji family has a great business, so they have no shortage of these.

    Mother Tong continued with a smile: "It's almost the New Year's Eve. Not long after the New Year's Eve, it will be the hairpin gift for the Second Miss. Miss, please prepare some gifts for people and rewards. I'll help you prepare a seal."  What do you think of the cloud-patterned silver nuggets, several pairs of red gold carved hairpins, Duan inkstones and Chengni inkstones?"

    In January it will be the New Year, and it will be indispensable to visit relatives and friends to reward and give gifts. What¡¯s more, she has already reached the age of hair, but has not yet decided to get married. Her mother must want her to visit more honorable homes.  Not to mention other things, the Ji family, Uncle Yongyang's family, the Song family who live in the same Sili Hutong, and the Fan family of Dingguo Gong and the ancestral family of the Gu family in Luoxian Hutong are all going there.

    But what Mother Tong said reminded her of something.

    The new year is approaching, and it¡¯s time for her brother Gu Jinrong to come back.

    His father felt that it was not good to educate Gu Jinrong at home. He was the only male in the family and everyone doted on him. He was afraid that he would be spoiled. When he was eight years old, he sent him to Qifang Hutong to study, where there were two highly respected Hanlin academies.  The old bachelor's class started, and many disciples of Shixun's official family went to Qifang Hutong to study, even the two legitimate sons of Prince Zhenwei and Duke Ding were there.

    Jin Chao thought of Gu Jinrong and asked Mother Tong: "Since it's the New Year's Eve, when will the eldest young master come back?"

    Mother Tong smiled and said: " Within three to five days, Madam asked me to tidy up the Jingfangzhai next to Juliu Pavilion and live there when the eldest young master comes back. The slave has prepared two inkstones. The young lady can give it to the eldest son."  Master."

    Jin Chao nodded and said, "You're interested." But he thought that it might not be a good idea to give him an inkstone. Since Gu Jinrong studied in Qifang Hutong, he must have seen a lot of good inkstones. Although her few square inkstones were of high quality, after all,  Not a masterpiece from a famous artist.

    She actually didn't know Gu Jinrong well. She lived in Ji's house before she was nine years old. The two siblings only met during the New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, and they couldn't exchange a few words. When she returned to Gu's house, Gu Jinrong moved to Qifang Hutong.  I study all year round and only come back at the end of the year.  Now that I think about it, my impression of Gu Jinrong is very vague.  I don¡¯t know what this younger brother likes, she likes to do what he likes.

    Jin Chao told Mother Tong: "Go and ask Mother Xu who is with you. She takes care of the eldest young master. She must know the eldest young master very well. Ask him clearly what he likes and doesn't like, and what his daily habits are."

    Tong¡¯s mother agreed, and Jin Chao thought of the origin of Liuxiang again. He invited her to come closer and whispered: "Also find a girl you trust to find out the origin of Liuxiang. Don¡¯t let the news leak out."

    Mother Tong was a little surprised: "Miss, what you mean is" Before she could finish her words, she immediately changed her subject, "I'm too talkative. I will definitely carry out what the lady ordered, and no news will leak out."

    She is quite sensible. Jin Chao is quite satisfied with Tong¡¯s mother. She trusts her because she is her mother.  But after all, Mother Tong is a servant in the inner courtyard, so it might not be convenient to inquire about things in the outer courtyard or even other places in Shi'an.

    Liuxiang once said that she has a brother who works as a handyman in the Yu family

    It would be great if she could find out about her brother.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
