Chapter 198 The sun is shining on my butt
Lao Fang gave instructions to the boy who was working with him.
She said to ask him in the backyard, but actually whispered something in his ear.
To put it bluntly, just let him pretend while you hang around in the front yard and waste time.
After he left, Lao Fang went back to the gatehouse on his own.
With a slight shake of his forearm, the silver on his cuff flew into his palm.
It's not a sin for men to cry, cry, cry, taste the long-lost feeling~~~
This business has really been gone for too long, um...
However, when I realized the weight in my hand, all the feelings of being moved disappeared in an instant.
Two taels of silver, oh, how generous.
Old Fang spat inwardly, sat down, and sipped the tea that the boy had made for him in the morning.
Pah, pah, pah, spit out the foam. This is because the temperature of the tea is not high enough and it hasn't been brewed.
Lazy boy, you need to practice more!
Two carriages were parked in front of the mansion.
In the front one, the middle-aged man in the middle looks 50% similar to Qin Zhaoyue's biological father. In terms of seniority, he is her second uncle Wen Mingke, and the one on the left is his eldest son.
"Father, cousin Zhaoyue is acting very arrogantly now."
"Be careful with your words."
His tone was flat, but the majesty between his brows was not directed at his eldest son.
He came in a hurry and didn't send a visiting card, but he is an elder on my father's side after all.
Even if they need to wash and dress up, they should be invited in and served tea. What's the point of leaving them at the door?
Still as unruly as ever.
We waited for another half an hour, and even after urging the doorman several times, there was still no conclusion.
Just when my patience was about to run out, a carriage came towards me.
The five-eaved canopy is painted red and decorated with twelve bright yellow tassels. The skirt is made of black and purple, and the hem is decorated with peacock feather necklaces.
The octagonal gilt-bronze chariot wheel is carved with nine phoenixes chasing the sun, and the yoke and balance are inlaid with two phoenix pendants made of Hetian jade.
"Father, this is..."
The eldest son was impatient to wait, so he heard the noise and lifted the curtain to look outside.
Her second uncle took a quick glance and noticed that a seal box with a gold and silver tortoise-shaped button was hanging on the door of the approaching carriage. This was the princess's exclusive emblem.
"Get out of the car! Get your sister in too."
The ninth princess, Qin Zhaolong, was carried down from the carriage and saw three people coming towards her in a hurry. Her eyes fell on the woman.
She wore a silk shirt with silver mud and green round nest patterns, and the collar was decorated with white pheasant feathers and gold brocade edges.
It is a six-piece saffron skirt with a twelve-piece sandalwood-colored Yueluo base and a light green gauze overskirt.
She has gold and silver incense balls hanging from her waist and holds a brocade fan with a purple bamboo handle in her hand, dressed like a girl from a noble family.
He looks familiar, but when I think about it carefully, I can't remember where I have seen him.
The palace guards immediately stepped forward and stopped the man ten steps away, "Stop!"
"Ninth Prince."
Wen Mingke took the lead in the ceremony, showing his dignity.
"Who are you?"
"Wen Mingke of the Wen family."
Xiaojiu tilted his head, not having any impression of the name.
Without looking at him anymore, he strode forward.
The guard in front of Wen Mingke showed no intention of giving in. He could only raise his voice slightly and shout:
"He is also the Sixth Prince's second uncle."
Xiaojiu suddenly realized. No wonder he looked familiar. It turned out that he was a relative of his sixth sister's father's family.
But...so what?
He walked past the three of them without even glancing at them.
Lao Fang in the gatehouse had heard the noise a long time ago.
Despite his age, he has very sharp ears.
Knowing when to hear what sound is a compulsory course for servants of the powerful.
He quickly ordered the boy to open the door and welcome the Ninth Princess and her entourage in.
Seeing this, Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, "Reward."
The old nanny naturally obeyed the order and presented a silver ingot of ten taels.
Old Fang's face was almost smiling like a flower, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
Wen Mingke saw the Ninth Princess and her entourage enter the door, and the guards in front of him followed.
He hurried to catch up, but was stopped by Old Fang, who straightened up and held out his hand, "Dear guest, please wait a moment."
Looking at the look on his face, he actually wants to stop it!
Wen Mingke's chest heaved as he stared at the other person, suppressing his anger. "How long do you want me to wait?"
Lao Fang was not moved at all, and just repeated what he had said a little while ago.
"Why can the Ninth Princess enter but we can't?"
Although she is a princess, they are actually relatives, and they are closer in relationship!
Haodaer controlled his voice, considering that the other party had not gone far, but the anger in it was clearly expressed.
This time, Wen Mingke did not mention anything rude.
Lao Fang smiled lightly, "You also said that, that is the princess."
After saying that, he walked in and ordered his men to close the door.
He was the doorman of the Sixth Princess's Mansion, so naturally he had to represent the attitude of the master.
I have already sent a message, but there has been no response.
Not even a maid from the backyard came, and the attitude was very clear.
Besides, as an old man in the mansion, Lao Fang was not unfamiliar with the other party.
During the period when His Highness came of age and left the palace to set up her own household, the Wen family came quite frequently, including the master of the second house.
But gradually, after the prince's "not so good" reputation spread, the contacts became less and less.
Later on, not to mention visiting, there was not even any New Year gifts.
It's as if there is no such relative, and the ties are completely severed.
What's up?
Now that His Highness has finally got two serious jobs, and as soon as he shows some signs of success, he is eager to get involved again.
Still wanting to be respected by the elders? Pah!
Looking at the closed door, the veins on Wen Mingke's forehead throbbed.
"Father, this... is simply too much!"
"Shut up!"
His daughter's expression remained normal, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
The stinging pain made him calm down and he spoke softly.
"Father, the Wen family has been estranged from Sister Zhaoyue in recent years. She may be a bit negligent because she is resentful.
It's okay, let's wait a little longer, they can't just keep not inviting us in, right?"
Wen Mingke took two deep breaths and stared at his eldest son with a bad look.
"Look at Wan'er, learn from me!" After saying that, he got on the carriage.
On the other side, the manager of the front yard led the way into the backyard in a hurry.
"Sixth sister, Sixth sister hasn't gotten up yet?"
A clear voice rang out in the boudoir, waking up Qin Zhaoyue from her sleep again.
When he opened his eyes and saw Xiaojiu's cute little face, he showed an expression of great disgust.
"Who let her in? Who is it?"
He glanced around and found that not only was Sui Mo missing, but no one from the Mo Group was there. The only person he saw was Tao Yao's round face.
"Pa pa pa!" The edge of the bed was slapped loudly. "Sixth sister, you are too lazy. You don't go to the court meeting. Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will blame you?"
Qin Zhaoyue rolled his eyes. He was just made to work all day without any food to eat. What was the point of attending the morning court?
"The sun is already shining on your butt, and you still haven't gotten up. You have no shame, Sixth Sister."
"Bullshit, why am I lying on the bed sunbathing? If you want to sunbathe yourself, take off your clothes and go to the yard."
Xiaojiu: ...
The old lady behind me: ...
