When Su Wan opened her eyes the next day, she found that she had returned to the small room in the Xinzheku, and she was still wrapped in a thick and warm tribute blanket.
"Miss Su, are you up?"
Bai mama's voice just sounded outside the room. Because Su Wan's room was in the innermost part of the Xinzheku courtyard and its location was also remote, Bai mama was not afraid of others seeing her here.
"Mama, please come in."
Su Wan folded the blanket and placed it under the coarse quilt, and then slowly began to put on her clothes. The servants of the Xinzheku wore the lowest grade of cloth clothes, which were very prickly on the body. Fortunately, Bai mama had already done something to the clothes. Although Su Wan's clothes looked the same as others' from the outside, the inside of the clothes was sewn with soft satin. This kind of thing to deceive people was very common in the palace, so there was no need to spend time to prepare.
Su Wan hadn't put on the outer palace dress when Bai mama came in with toiletries: "Good morning, Miss Su. Did you sleep well last night?"
Facing Su Wan, Bai mama's posture was very low.
"Thank you for your concern, mama. I slept very well."
Su Wan replied softly, and Bai mama's gaze swept over Su Wan's bed. When she saw the corner of the blanket exposed under the quilt, her eyes changed and the smile on her face became more eager: "Miss, the Xinzheku is really simple and crude. Let this old slave serve you to freshen up!"
"Alright."
Seeing Bai mama's enthusiasm, Su Wan naturally nodded her head.
In the harem, if someone fawns over you, it proves that you are doing well and have value. At this time, in the face of others' goodwill, you must not refuse, because no matter what reason you have to refuse others, it is likely to be misunderstood as "looking down on them". This is a taboo for people in the harem. No one knows who will be down and out in the next second, and no one knows who will be successful in the next moment. In the depths of the palace, you can only make friends and never make enemies.
Su Wan has actually done a lot of tasks in the imperial palace. She has long been clear about the ways of the harem. She also knows that Bai mama's treatment of herself was naturally ordered by Wang Yi. If she doesn't give her this opportunity, I'm afraid she will always be anxious, right?
Under the service of Bai mama, Su Wan simply washed up.
After finishing some, Bai mama packed up the things and looked at Su Wan with a smile again: "Miss Su, what do you want to eat for breakfast? This old servant has a small kitchen. If you don't mind, this old servant can cook for you. "
"I'm not picky about food. Nanny, if someone comes to ask about me today, you know what to say, right?"
Su Wan sat on the wooden bed and raised her eyelids to look at Bai mama. Bai mama was a little scared by her gaze. You say, this little girl has delicate features, but why is her eyes so penetrating when she looks at people?
"This old servant knows what to say. Miss, you can rest assured!" Bai mama patted her chest and repeatedly assured Su Wan.
"En, that's good. Also …"
Su Wan narrowed her eyes and whispered again: "If someone comes to plead for me, don't agree without this amount!"
Looking at Su Wan waving her palm, Bai mama couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "Five, five hundred taels?"
She had worked in the Xinzheku for all these years, but she had never received so much money at one time!
Five hundred taels of silver was also a large amount of expenditure for an ordinary palace maid, and Su Wan knew very well that Yan Yunuo's monthly salary was sent back to her hometown to her family.
There were many children in her family, and life was very difficult. Otherwise, she would not have been sold to Yan fu as a maid.
Five hundred taels of silver was definitely an astronomical figure for Yan Yunuo, and Holy Mother Yan had to take out the money in order to save Su Wan.
So, now the question was – what should she do to borrow five hundred taels of silver?
Come on, Holy Mother Yan, I'm optimistic about you ~
As Su Wan expected, before the morning was over, Chen Ji came to the Xinzheku with a smile on his face.
"Isn't this Chen gonggong? What wind blew you here? "
Although they were both stewards, the Shangfu Bureau belonged to one of the 24 departments of the Sixth Bureau and was a department with real power. Compared with the Xinzheku, which was despised by tens of thousands of people, it was absolutely like heaven and earth.
Therefore, when Bai mama saw Chen Ji, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Bai mama, I'm here to give you some hometown specialties."
Chen Ji's phoenix eyes raised, but he appeared very amorous. Bai mama looked at Chen Ji's smiling face, and her expression was a little strange.
It must be said that this Chen gonggong was also a weirdo. He had a girly appearance since he was a child. It was said that when he was a child, his family was poor and owed a lot of money to others. The creditor took a fancy to him and wanted to snatch him back to be his wife!
Later, when he learned that he was a man, the man still didn't give up and actually wanted to take him back home to be a male attendant. At that time, Chen Ji was young but had a strong mind. On the "night of the bridal chamber", he injured the man and then escaped in a hurry. At that time, the imperial city was selecting an inner attendant. In order to be afraid that the man would report him to the authorities and put him in prison, Chen Ji simply signed up and entered the palace to be an inner attendant.
When he first entered the palace, Chen Ji was often bullied because of his fair and delicate appearance, but he never said a word. He always stabbed people from behind with a knife. Stabbing and stabbing, he entered the eyes of Steward Wang. Later, he was promoted all the way to the position of the steward of the Shangfu Bureau.
This kind of resume can only be observed and not copied ah ~
"Bai mama, look at this Hetian jujube, it's very sweet this year."
Chen Ji didn't pay attention to Bai mama's strange expression and stuffed a small basket of jujubes into her hands. Bai mama smiled and raised her hand to pick up the inconspicuous pouch in the basket without a trace. Her face was slightly embarrassed: "Ai, Chen gonggong, I'm old and my teeth aren't good. I can't eat dry, hard, and sweet things recently. Thank you for your kindness, but this thing, you should take it back!"
"En?"
Hearing Bai mama's words, Chen Ji's expression froze. He hadn't said what he wanted her to do and she refused so bluntly. What does this mean?
"Bai mama, you're not giving zajia face ah!"
As he said this, Chen Ji's face gradually became cold.
"Ai, Chen gonggong, don't worry, let's talk further."
Bai mama carefully pulled Chen Ji to the corner outside the door: "You should be here for that girl Su Wan this time, right?
”
"Exactly." Chen Ji nodded and couldn't help but look at Bai mama: "Did someone else come?"
"This … … you don't have to worry about it. She was personally brought by Steward Wang. Steward Wang repeatedly told me to discipline her well. I really don't dare to make the decision without authorization ah! Unless … … "
Speaking of this, the smile on Bai mama's face was somewhat meaningful.
Seeing her smile, Chen Ji immediately understood: "Don't beat around the bush with zajia, say a number!"
Helping others do things, Chen Ji didn't feel distressed about the money. At this time, he put on a look of indifference.
"About this, hehe."
Bai mama smiled and raised her hand to fan her face.
Seeing her action, Chen Ji couldn't help but whisper: "Bai mama, you're asking for an exorbitant price, aren't you afraid of being too full?"
"Hehe."
Bai mama just smiled brightly. Do you think she's willing? Isn't this what Great Aunt ordered?
Seeing that Bai mama just smiled and didn't speak, Chen Ji frowned again: "Just this number, can't it be less?"
"Not a single cent less."
Bai mama's face also became serious: "The risk this time is too great. Even if I get this silver, this old servant can only try her best to deal with it!"
Seeing that Bai mama was sincere, Chen Ji had to nod: "Okay, I understand. I'll go back and study it."
Saying this, he tightened the basket in his hand and Chen Ji left with small steps.
