Chapter 180 Choosing a Husband for a Maid
After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone came out of Songhe Hall.
When Chen Shuyao left, the prince was still talking to the old lady.
It was still early, so she thought about it and decided to go to her mother-in-law's Chunhuitang to help.
After taking a few steps, I heard someone calling from behind: "Wait for me!"
Chen Shuyao stopped and saw Xiao Mo lifting the curtain and walking out.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
Shen Shuyao told the truth.
"Don't you go there every afternoon? Why did you change today? Are you trying to avoid me?" His words hit the nail on the head, but Chen Shuyao would not admit it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You came out later before." She said angrily.
Xiao Mo looked at her for a moment, then said, "Then follow me to Mingzhe Hall."
"What are you doing?" Chen Shuyao was dragged by his sleeve and could only barely keep up.
"Aren't you going to choose a husband for your maid?" He looked at her with a smile.
Chen Shuyao really laughed this time, and then she looked at the four maids behind her, all of whom lowered their heads, even Huixiang, who was usually simple-minded, was no exception.
"Okay!" she nodded.
In front of Mingzhe Hall, dozens of guards stood in two rows, all of them with slender backs and slim waists, and in high spirits.
The guards didn't know what was going on, they just heard the nameless boss tell them to be in their best condition.
This was the scene when Chen Shuyao arrived.
Xiao Mo pointed with his finger: "Take your time to pick!"
He moved a chair to the corridor and closed his eyes to rest.
Chen Shuyao walked around these people in a circle, and when she looked up, she saw a woman with dark eyebrows and watery eyes leading three outstanding maids walking towards her.
"Your servant Zhichun pays homage to the Crown Prince's wife!"
"The servant Zhixia..."
"The servant Zhiqiu..."
"The servant Zhixue..."
Chen Shuyao looked at the situation, then raised her head to look at the man in the corridor. He sat there motionless, apparently unaffected.
Shen Shuyao nodded and waved her hand to let him leave.
A few people just walked away.
After Chen Shuyao looked at all the guards, she was at a loss. These people looked good, but she only had four maids.
Zi Su and Dong Qing were originally Xiao Mo's people, and the only ones who truly loved her were Qiao Wei and Hui Xiang.
Let her most capable maid marry the other party's guard?
Shen Shuyao couldn't help but frowned when she thought about it.
But then she saw that the maid named Zhixia had already held an umbrella over her master's head, instantly blocking out the sunlight coming in from the corridor.
As for the prince, he still looked unaware.
Chen Shuyao called Wuming over, pointed out a few people in the team, asked him to make a list, and then let these people go.
After finishing her own work, Chen Shuyao wanted to leave, but in the end she walked to the corridor and looked at the man.
The head maid Zhichun came over, and Chen Shuyao stopped her action of waking up Xiao Mo. She pointed at the person on the armchair to Zhichun, and when she saw the maid nodded, she walked away from Mingzhe Hall.
After they left, Zhixia, holding an umbrella, smiled provocatively at Zhichun, while Zhichun looked at the back of the Crown Prince's wife thoughtfully.
Xiao Mo woke up after only a short sleep. He looked up and saw that the corridor was empty. He waved his hand impatiently to the maids beside him and asked them to go back.
On the way back to Yan Yu Hall, Chen Shuyao asked the four maids for their opinions: "Did you all look carefully just now?"
Several people buried their heads like quails. Shen Shuyao thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay! I'll pick a few for you. Let's wait for Wuming to give me the list!"
At night, under a dark and windy sky, in a mansion in the capital, the woman heard a few cuckoo calls outside and suddenly got up from her embroidered tent.
Incense was lit in the room, and several maids were sleeping soundly. The woman slipped out quietly.
She walked into the shadows beneath the wall and looked back. The house was still quiet. Then she lowered her voice and said to the visitor, "Didn't you say we're even?"
The man was dressed in black, but his words were somewhat feminine and charming: "How's the progress?"
The woman looked embarrassed: "How can it be so fast? We have to take our time."
The man frowned and said, "I'll send someone to contact you later. Don't forget what we promised you."
The door of the house made a slight sound when it was blown by the wind. The woman looked back anxiously and said quickly, "I'm going in."
The man in black stood in the shadows for a while before leaving.
When the woman returned, the maids were still sleeping soundly. She didn't know that a fire-stoking woman in the yard had gone out under the cover of darkness.
Outside Yan Yu Hall, Wuying came to look for his master.
"As you expected, after the master ordered the guards around the house to be withdrawn, someone came to contact us. What is Miss Yun... Miss Yunling's purpose?"
Xiao Mo leaned back in his chair and said, "Let Tian Qi follow carefully and see what they do!"
Wuying glanced at the prince in front of him and thought, "Can't you see? The target is you!"
A woman who had been kind to her master at the border was thrown into Chunfeng Tower, and she was drugged, and then they met again.
Wuying felt embarrassed whenever he thought of the woman clinging to him the night before, but this prince seemed to be staying out of it.
Fortunately, he finally found the medicine, otherwise his chastity might be lost at such a young age.
After Wuying retreated, Wuming came again.
"master!"
"What is it?"
"The Crown Prince's wife has selected a few handsome men and asked me to make a list and write down their details one by one."
"Oh, then go ahead and do it!" Wuming responded and retreated. But just as he reached the door, he heard the prince say again: "Which ones did you choose? Show them to me!"
Wuming paused and said that the trip was not in vain.
No, are you interested?
On weekdays, they all look very arrogant in the team because they are good-looking.
Xiao Mo looked at the list and carefully recalled the appearance of those people. He looked up and saw the guard's face full of joy, but he frowned instantly.
