Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
"Now it seems that only Gumei's results are the fastest. This princess also knows what you are thinking. If you want to get married, just wait and get married!
If you don’t want to get married, you don’t have to worry about your retirement.
Don't be afraid, I will prepare a dowry for you. If you are bullied in the future, you can come back to me for justice."
These four maids were very kind to both the original owner and her, and she also wanted them to have a good ending.
In the book Zhou Qiongyue read, the endings of these people were not good. I hope that with her care this time, they can live a peaceful and happy life!
So Zhou Qiongyue tried her best to give them confidence.
When Gulan and the others heard the princess's promise, they felt very happy and grateful. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, princess!"
"Alright, go back to your work! Gu Yu, first find a second-class maid to take care of you and see if there's anyone who can learn your craft.
I don’t want the quality of my meals to plummet after you get married.”
The last sentence is just a joke, but Zhou Qiongyue really likes Gu Yu's cooking skills. Since Gu Yu wants to marry a scholar, Zhou Qiongyue will definitely give her the indenture contract, so she still needs to train a maid who can cook delicious food early.
After all, cooking is not something that can be learned in a short time.
Gu Yu smiled and responded, not forgetting to joke with Zhou Qiongyue, "Don't worry, Princess. Before I get married, I will definitely train you a chef who will be even better than the master."
Zhou Qiongyue was very pleased with Gu Yu's answer: "From now on, this princess is looking forward to your training of a disciple who will surpass the master."
Gu Yu smiled and responded, then retreated. He had already made such a boast in front of the princess. She wanted to quickly select a loyal and talented young maid from the second-class maids and keep her by her side.
I absolutely cannot let Gulan and the others laugh at me for not fulfilling my big talk.
Gu Mei did not have the same worries as Gu Yu. Even if she succeeded with Fang Fu, she would still serve the princess. If she failed with Fang Fu, she would only look for him in the palace.
She would not marry, nor did she want to change her social class as the old saying goes. She just wanted to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Gu Ju’s current idea is to find a simple house in the palace, and she doesn’t want to leave the princess.
Therefore, the other three of them are not in a hurry to find someone to take over the work they are doing. They can take their time to look for someone, and once they have found one, they can take over the job.
A few days later, Yuan Bohua was resting at home again. Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had lunch together. Zhou Qiongyue thought of Gu Mei and asked, "It seems that Fang Fu, your boyfriend, is not married yet?"
Yuan Bohua thought about it seriously and said with certainty: "No!"
When Zhou Qiongyue heard Yuan Bohua say no, she immediately became interested. Specifically, she sat up straighter and looked at Yuan Bohua with great interest, "So, has his family arranged a marriage for him? Does he have a crush on someone? What do his family members do? Are they easy to get along with?"
Yuan Bohua was no fool. The princess's question was so obvious that he could guess without even thinking, "The princess is asking so many questions because she wants to be a matchmaker for this boy?"
Zhou Qiongyue didn't promise anything, but replied seriously: "That depends on Fang Fu's specific situation."
Yuan Bohua looked at the excited Zhou Qiongyue lovingly, "I don't know most of what Yue'er asked. But I can send someone to help you find out. But I'm curious who Yue'er wants to match with Fang Fu?"
Seeing that Yuan Bohua was genuinely curious, Zhou Qiongyue thought about it and decided to speak up. After all, it was nice to have someone to talk to. She believed that Yuan Bohua would not say anything bad about Gu Mei's reputation. "What do you think of Gu Mei and Fang Fu?"
Yuan Bohua said two words at this moment with an expression of watching a good show, "Perfect match!"
Yuan Bohua's words made Zhou Qiongyue confused, "Why?"
Yuan Bohua played with Zhou Qiongyue's hand while jokingly saying, "One is full of mind and wisdom, while the other is extremely powerful and has medical skills. They can beat people half to death without bothering others. If they come into conflict, I'm curious who will be the winner."
Zhou Qiongyue also smiled when she heard this, somewhat agreeing with Yuan Bohua's words, "That's quite appropriate."
Yuan Bohua selfishly didn't want Yue'er's maids to marry. He would have to determine if the newcomers were loyal. If one of them turned out to be treacherous, he'd be worried about Yue'er's safety.
He asked Yuan Bohua whatever he was thinking, "Are you planning to marry off those maids around you? Then won't you be left with no one suitable to serve you?"
Zhou Qiongyue understood Yuan Bohua's meaning. She just needed to get used to it in advance. "Just recommend a few second-class maids. You can't forbid others from getting married just because they serve you well!"
Yuan Bohua sincerely praised: "Our Yue'er is soft-hearted."
In Yuan Bohua's opinion, these four people accompanied Yue'er to get married, which means they chose not to get married.
I didn’t expect that Zhou Qiongyue would actually marry them off now.
Zhou Qiong saw Yuan Bohua's frown and added, "To be honest, the other three are still serving me. Only Gu Yu wants to marry a scholar or a juren, so she will stay away from me."
"It's impossible for a Juren to pass the exam. Generally, those who can pass the Juren exam have already stepped halfway into the officialdom. The younger ones, the daughters of minor officials and wealthy merchants, are willing to invest in advance, so Gu Yu will definitely not be able to get it.
If you look carefully, you should still find it."
What Yuan Bohua said was also true. Although Gu Yu herself was no worse than the daughter of a young official, she was just a maid after all. Even with Zhou Qiongyue's support, she would not get that many points.
"Everyone has their own choices. Your Highness will help you find someone. If you find someone suitable, please let me know. Try to choose someone whose family you can get along with easily!"
Zhou Qiongyue also sincerely hopes that Gu Yu can live a good life in the future and change his family as she imagined.
"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out for it." Yuan Bohua, a scholar from a farming family, really didn't know any of them. The ones he knew were all young masters of prominent families in Yuan'an. It was obviously impossible for them to marry a maid.
Seeing that Yuan Bohua agreed, Zhou Qiongyue nodded happily and asked, "Is there anyone in the mansion who has a steward for those whose parents are no longer around?"
Yuan Bohua was even more puzzled. In this era, women preferred to marry into prosperous families, but some even chose to marry into declining families? "Looking for Gulan?"
Zhou Qiongyue explained with a smile, "It was Guju's request. Gulan doesn't want to get married, so for now, we can only let her do what she wants."
Yuan Bohua was silent for a long time before saying, "Gulan is a good person."
Zhou Qiongyue understood what Yuan Bohua meant and reached out to pat Yuan Bohua's hand. "What are you talking about? Be more generous."
Yuan Bohua found Yue'er's serious expression so cute, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Yue'er."
