Since marrying into the Shunguo Mansion, even though the red silk tent was warm, Ning Suchan would still step back three steps when she woke up in the morning to hand Wei Fengxing the court robes.
Wei Fengxing didn't want her to serve him, but Ning Suchan's eyes were filled with a high wall built by more than ten years of palace training.
For her, etiquette must not be abolished.
When she was affectionate, she even controlled the redness of her ears to within three breaths, as if the unbearable tenderness in her heart had to be crushed and sifted according to the Book of Rites first.
She was the only one in Wei Feng's room, and he was a civil official and gentleman. Every time they kissed, he would brush her eyebrows with his fingertips before kissing, as if asking for permission.
The most outrageous thing he did was to press her hands on the pillow, restraining his force as if he was copying an inscription on an ancient stone tablet, and taking her feelings into consideration with every step.
But he had never been like this before, rushing around like this, wanting to crush her to pieces.
The next day.
All the stewards reported in at the gate of the main courtyard, as there were many matters that needed the mistress's decision. Not only them, but also the shop owners under the name of Duke Shun's Mansion outside the mansion also sent their account books, requiring Ning Suchan to reconcile them.
But Ning Suchan has not shown up yet.
Finally, it was Ru Po who came over and said, "Madam is not feeling well. Please come back another day."
After sending these people away, Ru Pozi waited for another hour before she heard any movement from the bedroom.
She quickly pushed the door open and went in to serve.
Ning Suchan was half-sitting in front of the couch, her hair disheveled and her face rosy, as if she had been well nourished.
Yesterday’s commotion… was a bit too much.
Ru Pozi: "The prince is already so old, it shows that Madam and the Duke have a very close relationship."
"The Duke went to the morning court early in the morning. Seeing that you were not awake, he asked me not to disturb you."
Ning Suchan felt weak and was ready to get out of bed.
She has a lot of things to do and doesn't like to pile up.
"That's right."
Ru Pozi: "Look at this old servant's memory. The daughter of the Gu family came early in the morning. She said she wanted to visit you and was unwilling to leave. So I invited her to the reception room."
Ning Suchan frowned.
A little girl, what's the matter with you coming here?
Yaoyao waited in the living room for a long time.
Since Wei Zhao looked strange yesterday, and the servants around Wei Fengxing asked Ning Suchan to go to the study, and Ning Suchan did not return to the flower hall, she realized belatedly that maybe she... no, it was Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao is in trouble!
She felt guilty and wanted to avoid any harm from taking the medicine, so she hurried over to take a look.
Originally I was going to visit Wei Fengxing.
But Wei Fengxing was not there, and she heard that Ning Suchan was not feeling well. She thought that she was tired from taking care of Wei Fengxing yesterday.
"Miss Gu, the Madam invites you."
Finally, a maid came over.
Yaoyao saw Ning Suchan in the main courtyard.
She was fiddling with an abacus, with several baskets of account books in front of her.
Yaoyao stepped forward and greeted according to the etiquette.
"My lady is well."
Ning Suchan paused and stopped moving her hand. He raised his eyes and his expression fell coldly on her.
He didn't say anything, but his aura was quite strong.
She has always been like this, but Yaoyao thought that Ning Suchan didn't smile much because what happened yesterday was exposed.
She met Ning Suchan's eyes and walked over in small steps.
Ning Suchan had a blank expression on her face.
Although she may look young at the age of nine, she should be considered sensible among the noble ladies in the capital. There is absolutely no reason to visit someone without giving a visiting card.
No rules.
But this person was just found, so she doesn't know about these things, and we can't blame her.
Yaoyao's conscience wants to make amends.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll grind some ink for Madam."
Yaoyao ran forward, took the ink stick from Ru Pozi's hand, and started to grind ink in a very professional manner, just like how Gu Fuju used to grind ink for her in the past.
Ning Suchan:? ? ?
Why are you being so attentive?
Besides, she is not familiar with this girl.
Ning Suchan wanted to speak out to stop him, but just as she was about to open her mouth
"Madam."
The manager from the warehouse came over hurriedly.
"All the gifts that the guests brought yesterday have been registered in the book. Please have a look."
Ning Suchan looked serious.
This banquet is held on behalf of the royal family, and the money for the banquet is also paid by the royal family, so the gifts cannot be accepted.
But the emperor meant for her to go back and hand over to her uncle and change all the clothes into warm clothes for the border soldiers.
She didn't dare to delay and took it to look at it carefully.
After he had an idea of the situation, he gave it to Mrs. Ru and asked her to go out and exchange all the money for silver.
After giving these instructions, Ning Suchan continued to do the accounting.
But after just two hits, he thought of the little girl beside him.
As soon as she turned her head to look, she saw Yaoyao was very worried. She didn't know what happened, but her little hands were all covered with ink.
Ning Suchan's eyelids twitched.
Yaoyao met her gaze and said slowly: I was careless. ”
Ning Suchan: ...
Her head jumped twice.
Yaoyao asked in a nice voice: "Can you wash my hands?"
Ning Suchan said calmly: "There is water in the basin over there."
She originally used it to wash her hands after doing the accounting.
It went by slowly.
After all, it’s not like at home, where I have a bunch of servants serving me.
Ning Suchan didn't like being served when she was settling accounts, so after the old woman left, the maids in the yard retreated far away.
No one dared to come forward to help her until the mistress gave the order.
Yaoyao washed very carefully.
But the ink is too difficult to rub off.
When Ning Suchan finished calculating one account book and was about to take the next one, the little girl came over with a clatter.
"lady."
Yaoyao innocently said: "I was careless again."
Ning Suchan? ? ?
She looked up and saw that Yaoyao's sleeves were all wet.
It was wet and dripping.
Ning Suchan was very puzzled.
How did Yaoyao do it?
Is she special, or are all kids of this age like this?
Or maybe…
She shuddered.
It’s her... Guizhi, who has been able to take care of herself since she was young and doesn’t need her to worry about anything.
She didn't have any clothes suitable for a girl of Yaoyao's age, so she asked her maid to go to Chen Jin to get some quickly.
Chen Zhiyi often stayed there for a while. Her figure was similar to Yaoyao's.
While Yaoyao was waiting for the clothes, she didn't want to be idle.
"Ma'am. Is there anything else I can do?"
Ning Suchan: “No.”
Don't make things worse.
Yaoyao said "oh" and brought a stool from somewhere and placed it next to Ning Suchan.
Ning Suchan frowned, not liking to be too close to others: "Go sit somewhere else."
Yaoyao whispered: "But the light is best here."
Ning Suchan:? ?
Aren't you afraid of me?
Yaoyao glanced at the snacks that Ru Po had placed on the table, but Ning Suchan didn't eat a single bite.
"Ma'am, can I eat?"
After getting permission, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"This tastes like the sticky rice cakes sold in the shop outside the Imperial College."
Ning Suchan ignored her.
Yaoyao: “But it’s not that sweet.”
Ning Suchan ignored her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yaoyao moved closer and closer to her, almost whispering in her ear.
"My two mothers always buy them for me."
"Has Madam ever bought one for Prince Wei?"
Ning Suchan couldn't stand it any longer: "No."
I just wanted her to calm down.
But I heard one sentence.
"Then he is really pitiful."
Ning Suchan's fingers froze: "What?"
Yaoyao: "Everyone else has it, except him."
Ning Suchan thought it was something else and didn't take it seriously.
"It's just an ordinary snack. Guizhi doesn't like sweets. Even if he wants to eat it someday, there will always be a cook in the house to make it for him."
