Chapter 299: The Origin of Nanny Ye
The second master, Fu Heyong, had been tired for most of the day and his whole body was aching. He glared at Qin after hearing this and said, "Shut up! It won't be good if someone hears you."
Qin snorted and said nothing.
The second master had some guesses in his mind and couldn't help but sneer. The old man really wanted to control everything and wanted to control everyone. Over the years, he was high above and controlled everything in the mansion.
Now he has fallen into trouble with Brother Yi, he must be angry and embarrassed!
That's good, it's worth a drink for this news.
He should have gone to bed after washing up, but suddenly he became interested and asked the kitchen to prepare two side dishes to go with the wine, and a pot of osmanthus autumn wine. He wanted to be happy.
Although Second Madam Qin didn't quite understand what was wrong with Second Master, she couldn't help but sit down when she saw the food and wine being served. The couple had a rare moment of leisure and started drinking.
However, when Fu Zhiming and Zhao learned that Fu Zhiyi was also under house arrest, the couple looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
If we talk about the people in the mansion who were most sad after knowing that Lu Zhenzhen was conferred the title of village lord, apart from the old marquis, it would be the couple.
Especially Zhao, she really didn't understand why Lu Zhenzhen was so lucky?
After this, the female members of the mansion, namely her and Lu Zhenzhen, who did not have imperial decrees, at least had someone to keep them company, which made them feel less embarrassed.
But Lu Zhenzhen made a big move and directly got herself the position of village chief.
From now on, whenever she goes out of this mansion, she will be treated as a commoner's wife, so people will be polite and call her Madam Third Young Master Fu.
You're welcome. I'm afraid everyone will laugh at her behind her back.
How will she go out in the future? When Zhao thought of this, she felt shaky.
He didn't care about Fu Zhiming, so he helped the maid back to his room.
Fu Zhiming also returned to the study listlessly.
Remembering the servants' report that Fu Zhiyi was under house arrest, Uncle San could still go to the old man and make some trouble.
But he was under house arrest. No matter how much the eldest master seemed to love him on weekdays, he was not as good as his third uncle at this time.
The eldest master, who was secretly criticized by his eldest son, sneezed three times and thought he had caught a cold. In addition, he had been tired for half a day and wanted to go to Aunt Guo's room to relax.
When I got there, I found out that Aunt Guo had to keep watch over the eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, at night.
He wanted to ask someone to call Aunt Guo back, but he felt guilty, so after hesitating for a while, he rested in the study in the front.
That night, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, except the servants, was so happy that they couldn't sleep because they received an extra month's salary. The masters were all preoccupied and tossed and turned all night long.
The next morning, when we met at Ruixuan Hall, wow! Everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
It's like everyone is determined to be a thief at night.
Sun was young after all, so she forced herself to show the old lady the menu she had prepared yesterday and the list of guests for the banquet.
No problem, let’s get started.
Lu Zhenzhen was also very busy because she had to go to the palace to express her gratitude in three days. Lu Zhenzhen had not yet learned the rules of court audiences.
But this was not a difficult matter. The Lan family sent a nanny named Ye early the next morning.
She used to be a maid in the palace of the late queen. After the queen passed away, except for a few who stayed to guard the palace, the rest were disbanded and sent to various places.
This Madam Ye was one of the people who stayed behind to guard the palace. When she reached a certain age, she was released from the palace.
Her parents had passed away long ago, and she had not seen her brothers, sisters-in-law, and siblings for many years, and they had no feelings for each other. She was afraid that life would not be easy if she left the palace and returned to her parents' home.
Who knows, she might be betrothed to a widower as his second wife and become someone's stepmother.
This Madam Ye was open-minded and had made plans in advance. She wanted to go to a wealthy family and work as a nanny for the girls, teaching them the rules and so on.
I heard that she came from the palace of the late queen, so many people have inquired about her and want to hire her.
But no one has ever snatched the Lan family away.
Minister Lan spoke directly to the emperor, saying that his goddaughter did not understand the rules of the palace. After all, she was now conferred the title of village lady. Shouldn't she be allowed to attend the banquet held in the palace at the end of the year?
It would be a small matter to make a fool of oneself, but it would be a big matter to lose the emperor's face.
Wouldn't people blame him behind his back for being short-sighted and appointing a village chief who is not worthy of being in public?
So I begged the emperor to give me a good and well-behaved nanny so that Lu Zhenzhen could learn some manners.
In the future, Lu Zhenzhen will take care of Nanny until she passes away.
The emperor was amused by Minister Lan's shameless face of asking for a nanny, and he was very straightforward. He told Dai Jinzhong beside him to choose a reliable one.
Dai Jinzhong was originally a close associate of the emperor. As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately brought the list of maids and palace servants who were to be released from the palace.
Dai Jinzhong looked through the list and saw the name of Nanny Ye. He had met her often when the queen was alive, so she was considered an acquaintance.
Keeping this little bit of friendship in mind, Dai Jinzhong called Madam Ye, explained the whole story to her, and then asked her to follow Minister Lan out of the palace.
I was beaten up again by Madam Lan at the Lan Mansion yesterday, and it was sent here this morning.
Let Madam Ye give Lu Zhenzhen a crash course in etiquette in the next two days so that she can enter the palace.
If you want to ask how Lu Zhenzhen knew this, of course it was from Madam Ye.
This Madam Ye was also a wonderful person. As soon as she entered the room and met Lu Zhenzhen, she told her whole story in detail.
And she was very single and made it clear in advance that although she was a maid in the palace of the late queen, she was still young at that time and could only do rough work and could not even enter the inner palace.
After the late queen passed away, most of the senior palace maids who served her closely died, and the rest were scattered. Some of them found jobs as housekeepers in the palace, while others went to serve the old concubines.
Only people like her, who were not allowed to get close to the late queen on weekdays and were only responsible for cleaning, stayed behind to guard the late queen's palace.
On weekdays, the late queen's palace was closed, and they were responsible for keeping it dust-free. Then, on holidays or the anniversary of her death, the late queen's only daughter, the eldest princess, would come back to visit. Otherwise, she had no business with any other nobles in the palace.
Lu Zhenzhen started laughing as she listened.
This Nanny Ye told herself that although she was a maidservant beside the late queen, it was just an empty title. Firstly, she had no connections in the harem and did not belong to any power. Secondly, she did not know the so-called secrets and privacy of the palace.
She was just an ordinary maid who knew some of the rules in the palace.
It was also telling myself in advance that if I wanted to achieve any purpose through her, or to find out the news in the palace, I should forget it.
If others heard what Nanny Ye said, they might appear fine on the surface, but they would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
But this just suits Lu Zhenzhen's temper.
If there is anything, make it clear in advance and draw a bottom line. Be careful not to cross the bottom line in the future, and then it will not be difficult to get along with each other.
What's more, with her status and identity, it would be best for her to be an ordinary nanny who has nothing to do with any forces.
She didn't want to get involved in the underworld of the harem.
