Chapter 17 The Prince of the Marquisate who died in the battle is back 10
He shouted and called Hongling in, asking her to find someone to clean up the calligraphy and paintings and ornaments. He also helped her wash up, and soon Xiao Yun lay on the bed.
It feels good to be served by someone. You don’t have to wash yourself. It’s really like having clothes to wear and food to eat as long as you can.
Alas, I don’t know if I can adapt to a poor life in the future…
Forget it, don’t think too much, just enjoy it while you can, no matter what happens tomorrow!
I took a body-strengthening pill before going to bed, and when my cold hands and feet became warm, I fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until dawn, and when I woke up I felt full of energy. It was completely different from yesterday, like a completely different person.
Even Hong Ling was startled when she heard the sound and came in to serve. She blinked hard to make sure she was not seeing things. Then she said in amazement: "Miss, what kind of magic medicine did you take? How come you are so energetic all of a sudden! Your face is so rosy and you look so good!"
The two maids who came in with basins of water and clothes also nodded vigorously in agreement, and instantly became a lot more lively than in the original body's memory.
The two little maids, the one with an oval face and delicate and lively face is called Cuiyun, and the one with a round face and cute and naive face is called Cuiqiao. They were also the original body's companions, and now they are second-class maids around her, serving the original body's daily life together with Hongling.
There are also Cuiping and Cuilan following Luhe. The two are older and more savvy, and they help Luhe with some errands that require running around.
"I slept well last night, so I feel better today. I think I've gotten over the cold."
Hong Ling smiled and said, "It's because the young lady is in good health, otherwise she would have to lie down for a few days."
"You are the only one who is sweet and good at talking. I don't know if you have eaten honey."
Xiao Yun imitated his original self and joked with her.
"Miss, you are actually teasing me~"
While she was talking, she helped Xiao Yun wash up and change her clothes. Then Hong Ling said, "It's just unfortunate that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Now that Miss is well, she has to go to Ci'an Temple to pay her respects.
Someone came over at Yinshi and told us that the old lady and the mistress were going to Huiling Temple today to light the eternal lamp for the old marquis, and asked us to go there early. "
"In that case, let's go now."
Xiao Yun lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm and sneer in his eyes.
Now that I need money again, I think of her. She caught a cold but no one came to see her, not even to ask about her. It's been so long that no one even pretends to care.
To continue the eternal lamp means to donate incense money, at least fifty taels. She is asked to pay such money. It seems that the Pingxi Marquis Mansion is really in decline.
Because she was going out, Hongling asked someone to prepare clothes for going out.
She wore a light blue quilted jacket and skirt with cloud patterns, a pair of thick-soled deerskin short boots with fur edges, and a pea green hooded cape on the outside before going out.
In fact, she was not very satisfied with the dress. If it were not for the mourning period, she would have liked to wear a bright red dress, go out on horseback, and run with her clothes fluttering. She would definitely look beautiful and cool.
There’s no rush. There are only a few days left. When Chu Hongyi and Lu Jiaojiao come back, she can wear whatever she wants.
They left Lu He to look after the house, and told her to take people to search the inner courtyard thoroughly while they were out.
After all, Lin Guangzhen and the others are men, so it's okay to search the outer courtyard, but not the inner courtyard. If a man enters a women's residence, then its reputation will be ruined.
After giving the instructions, he led Hongling and the others out of Tai'an Courtyard and headed to the left.
Because of the pill and a whole night of absorption, Xiao Yun walked much more easily today than yesterday.
Because there was Zheng'an Court in the middle, it took nearly two quarters of an hour to reach Ci'an Court.
Her breathing was not even disordered along the way. Hongling and the other two who walked frequently all had their faces flushed, which shows how significant the effect was.
After entering Ci'an Courtyard, they went directly to the backyard through the corridor. Usually they would go to the backyard to pay their respects. The front was where the old Marquis of Pingxi used to handle official business, and the female family members would not go in.
Before I reached the main hall door, a maid had already lifted the curtain. It seemed that someone had reported it when I just entered the courtyard.
Breakfast had been served inside, and the old marquis' wife and the marquis's wife had already taken their seats. Apart from the maids and old women, only Chu Hongwen's wife Huang was still standing there and talking.
He immediately stopped talking when he saw her come in. It was so deliberate, with no acting skills at all.
"Greetings to grandma and mother. I'm sorry that my granddaughter-in-law came late and kept grandma and mother waiting for so long."
Xiao Yun sneered in his heart, but bowed and greeted calmly on the surface.
"Not too late, not too late, it's good that you're here. I know you haven't been feeling well these past two days, I think it's because of the weather. If I hadn't planned to go and relight the eternal lamp today, I wouldn't have let anyone disturb you."
The old marquis’ wife said with a loving look on her face.
"Please take your seats, everyone. I have already prepared the car. We will set off after breakfast."
The Marquis's wife also spoke with a smile on her face, but Xiao Yun still caught the calculation in her eyes.
As expected, the older the better. The old marquis' wife looked so sincere, and she didn't reveal her thoughts at all. If Xiao Yun didn't know the plot, she, an old ghost, would have been fooled by her.
Everyone was very disciplined when eating, and the rule of not talking while eating was implemented very thoroughly.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the faint sound of chewing, and even the sound of the clinking of bowls and chopsticks was almost inaudible.
Soon everyone finished their breakfast, packed up a little and set off.
A total of three carriages were used. Huang did not go as she wanted to deal with things at home. After all, she was in charge of the household these days. The marquis's wife did not ask her to return it to Xiao Yun just now, and neither she nor Xiao Yun mentioned it.
Huang enjoyed the power in her hands, but she was not capable enough and did not have enough dowry subsidy, so she could only take care of it for a few more days to satisfy her desire.
Xiao Yun didn't want to take over anymore. He worked so hard and got nothing in return. He might as well just live his life to his heart's content. Anyway, it would only be a few days before the other two came back.
So the three of them each had a car, and of course, they also had servants to serve them and guards to protect them.
No matter how poor you are, you can't do without these.
