Chapter 71: Leaking Rain
Shen Chuliu laughed when he received the reward.
"You said it would just cool down, but judging from the situation, it won't cool down."
"Isn't this a good thing? We servants have always been worried. Now that we have this, they dare not say anything more." Zi Rui said.
"Forget it, it's a good thing. This time, I guess Lu Xiaoyi will hate me to death." Shen Chuliu threw the hairpin into the box.
"Villains are always the hardest to offend, so you all just need to be careful. But it doesn't have to be now. It's just that these people tend to hold grudges. Who knows when they will explode."
"She brought her own death upon herself, how can she blame the master?" Zi Rui was really fed up with Lu Xiaoyi.
"It makes sense, but what's the use?" Shen Chuliu asked back.
Zi Rui stamped her feet in anger.
"We just need to be careful. She has always compared herself with our master, and has been getting worse and worse for so long. How can she accept it? She doesn't think that the master is right. Especially this time, I guess she feels that she was wronged. After all, she didn't say anything." Zizhu said.
"She should be a Xiaoyi all her life." Zi Rui snorted.
"That was also due to the support of the Queen Mother. Now the Queen Mother must be disgusted with her. Unless there is something major happening in the future, it will be difficult for her to be promoted." Zizhu said.
"Listen to Zizhu, you have such a bad temper. It reminds me of the quarrel you had with Zhijin." Shen Chuliu thought of the things in the mansion.
Among the girls' maids at that time, only the fifth girl's maid Zhijin had the confidence to quarrel.
The Sixth Miss was born out of wedlock, so naturally she didn't have the courage.
"Hmph! Zhijin is too cunning. Although she is young, she has great ambitions. She is always dreaming of becoming the Sixth Young Master's concubine." Zirui has always looked down on her.
"Zhijin is so cunning, I'm afraid she will have to enter the palace in the future." Shen Chuliu laughed: "When she comes in, you'd better stand firm. She won't dare to quarrel with you again."
Zi Rui laughed: "I didn't argue with her at that time. Humph, she is not worthy."
Zizhu smiled as she watched her master coax sister Zirui into forgetting about Lu Xiaoyi with just a few words, thinking that they were indeed raised together. She knew them very well.
"Master, look." Jimei was holding a Jun porcelain vase, which contained beautiful pink and white peach blossoms.
"Oh, sure, put it there." Shen Chuliu asked with a smile, "Did the servants in the Imperial Garden give you any trouble?"
"How could that be possible? They even took the initiative to pick out the best ones for me. They said, 'The peach blossoms are in full bloom, it's the best time to see them. Miss Jing, please cut a few more branches, otherwise it will be bad if no one sees them.'"
Jimei learned to speak like the eunuchs in the imperial garden.
Shen Chuliu smiled, stood up, went outside and sat under the corridor.
The sunshine is good, and there is a roof to provide shade, so it is not too hot.
"Those servants are the smartest. How could they stop us? They wish they could come and see us off in person. But they really have some taboos." Chi Su said.
If it weren't for the fact that the master was under house arrest, I would have come here in a hurry.
"Don't say that. Lady Li is the one who is at stake, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
"That's fine, Miss Li...of course. But she won't get any reward this time," said Chi Su.
"You can't see anything in the short term. Things in the palace are going back and forth and it will take a while to figure out anything. Lady Li is a smart person." Shen Chuliu said.
As of now, Li Meiren and her personality collide.
They all dared to speak frankly in front of the emperor and did not pretend their temper.
Or in other words...
It is pretending to be outspoken and pretending not to have a temper.
No matter what, the two of them now have the same personality and the same style, both are bright and colorful.
Shen Chuliu dared to say proudly that she was prettier than Li Meiren. She had an oval face.
Beautiful lady has a round face.
Although it is not that round, the oval face is the most advantageous one in comparison.
Especially when you get older, unless you don’t control your weight, an oval face will always be your most advantageous.
Another point is makeup and dressing. Li Meiren is naturally not bad, but the way she dresses is what the aristocratic women of the time learn.
Shen Chuliu now knows very well that the reason why he can still stand firmly after Concubine Li entered the palace is inseparable from his own thoughts.
After all, she has memories of her past life. It’s not that having memories is great, but different eras always have different aesthetics.
And that was an era of information explosion, so she could always learn something.
Sometimes the way men and women get along is just this little difference.
She is experiencing these differences, and I'm sure the emperor is experiencing the same.
This is why the emperor will never forget her even if she is no longer under house arrest.
Although this is not unrelated to the Shen family's background, there is a difference between caring and concern.
So she wouldn't worry at all about what would happen when Shen Biyu entered the palace.
In fact, she is a very vengeful person, so Shen Biyu had better come in.
She still wants to deal with her.
At lunch time, the kitchen delivered the newly harvested green vegetables. Shen Chuliu asked someone to tip the person who delivered the vegetables.
This is obviously filial piety.
The emperor's favor in the harem really works.
A pair of hairpins, I really can't stop talking about it.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, a thunderstorm started in the middle of the night.
Thunderstorms are not uncommon here in spring. Shen Chuliu was awakened by the thunder and turned over: "Who's outside?"
"Master, it's me, your servant. Would you like some water?" Chi Su asked.
"No. It's raining heavily?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"He hasn't come down yet, so I guess he's not cold. Are you cold, my master? Let me give you an extra quilt?" Chi Su asked again.
"No need, just add some outside, I'm going to sleep."
Shen Chuliu muttered, "I want to eat noodles in the morning."
She hadn't eaten much at night and was a little hungry.
When he opened his eyes again, the quilt was warm and Shen Chuliu rolled over.
"Master, you're awake. Are you hungry? Get up." Zi Rui came in and said.
Shen Chuliu stood up: "It's still raining. I dreamed of talking to Chi Su about eating noodles yesterday."
Chi Su who came in later chuckled: "Master must have been confused in his sleep. It's not a dream. It's real. The noodles are delivered."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Okay then. I'm really hungry. Let me wash up and eat first."
It was raining heavily outside.
Yuanxiao and the people from the imperial kitchen brought the meal together.
After washing up, Shen Chuliu didn't rush to comb her hair. She put on her clothes and ate first.
After eating, Yuanxiao said, "Early this morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to Qingzhi Pavilion. They said that it was leaking badly. If we don't fix it now, we can't live here anymore."
"Haven't you checked it before?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"This..." Yuan Xiao smiled apologetically, "Of course they checked it. But I can't guarantee that they didn't do their best. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily in March."
Chen Baolin lived in Qingzhi Pavilion. After he entered the palace to serve the emperor several times, there was no further movement.
After Lady Li was promoted, she moved out.
Qingzhi Pavilion is not an old house, but even if this ancient house is new, the roof needs to be checked every year.
