Leisurely Transmigration Life

On summer afternoons, the sun was scorching the earth. In the Yuehua Courtyard courtyard in the capital, the manager, loyal Mrs. Marquis, was taking an afternoon nap. The courtyard was completely silent as a gatekeeper on duty leaned against a pillar at the entrance, drowsy to the point that she didn't even notice that someone was coming over.

Nanny Qi hurried over from the alleyway behind the mansion. It was the hottest time of the day. Her clothes were soaked in sweat and beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead. She walked to the door and discovered that the old woman guarding the door was actually dozing off. She couldn't help but feel a burst of anger. She unceremoniously pushed Old Woman Yu awake. "You old thing, you're actually dozing off here. "How many lives would you have if you let those blind little hooves slip into the yard and disturb the Lady?"

Old Lady Yu was suddenly awakened from her sleep. Although her mind had yet to fully awaken, her body had already reacted. She quickly stood up and gave herself a slap. "Nanny Qi is right. I dare not do that again."

Nanny Qi didn't have the time to watch her acting like this. She only said, "Watch the yard properly. Let me see it once more. Don't do this job anymore." He left in a hurry.

Hearing this, Old Madam Yu was completely awake from start to finish. The gatekeeper was a fatty. Who knew how many people were watching? If Nanny Qi really switched her out, she wouldn't even be able to cry. At that moment, he gathered his energy to work diligently. He did not dare to doze off again.

Qingliu, the head maidservant, was sitting at the entrance of the main hall, playing a game. When she saw Nanny Qi, she quickly stood up and asked her in a low voice, "Why has this mama come here under such a bright sun?" Madame has just gone to bed. Is there something urgent? " As she spoke, she gently lifted the bamboo curtain at the door and let Nanny Qi in.

In the main room was a large porcelain basin filled with ice cubes the size of hills. Nanny Qi took a fan and stood next to the ice basin. She used the fan to gently fan the air and a gust of cool wind blew in. She immediately felt much cooler. Qingliu brought over a cup of warm sour plum soup with a teapot cup and said with a chuckle, "I just came back from outside and didn't dare to give me ice cream for fear of hurting my stomach.

Nanny Qi smiled as she took the teacup. "You're the meticulous one." He finished it in a few gulps. After handing the teacup back to Qingliu, she asked, "Why are you the only one on duty here?"

Qingliu replied in a low voice, "Madam wants to rest for the afternoon. You don't need too many people to attend to you, so you let Xiaoyu and the others rest as well."

Nanny Qi nodded. "Madam is kind." Qingliu nodded. "That's right. It's also our fortune to have a mistress like Madam here."

The two of them exchanged a few more words of idle chatter when they heard Mrs. Shen's voice from the inner room. "Qingliu, who's here?"

Without waiting for Qingliu's reply, Nanny Qi quickly replied, "Reporting to Madam, it's your servant that has come over. This humble servant is disturbing Madam's rest. "

Mrs. Han sat up and said, "Forget it, you won't come even if it's noon. Qingliu, please help me up."

Hearing this, Qingliu hurriedly entered the inner room and lifted up the curtain covering the bed that she was about to take a step into. She helped the Madam up and used warm water to rinse her mouth. Mrs. Han looked at Nanny Qi who seemed like she wanted to say something, but hesitated. She sat down at the dressing table and said, "Perhaps it's because I got up a little bit more fiercely, mama will help me get it done." Qingliu, go to the teahouse and make me a cup of the Water Immortal that second wife sent over. Remember, you must use boiling water to make that tea. "

"Yes, ma'am." After saluting, Qingliu turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Han then asked, "Tell me, what is it that you're so secretive about, and why are you still hiding it from Qingliu?"

Nanny Qi whispered, "This morning, the Bai family came over. Together with Aunt Bai, they chatted for a long time in the old lady's room. That girl Pearl also heard quite a bit while she was pouring tea." "The Bai Clan wants to hire our girl for their young master …"

Before she finished speaking, she heard Mrs. Han say with a sneer, "Hmph, the old lady always says she's from the State Duke's Mansion. To think she treats her aunt's mother's family like relatives all day, you really make her lose face for her State Duke's Mansion. "You don't even need to look at what kind of people that family is made of. Even the concubine in our mansion is not someone that can be treated like that."

Nanny Qi nodded, "Madam is right, she is just an old lady born into a concubine family. What knowledge would she have? This servant sent people to investigate. Although the eldest son of the Bai Clan was only 16 or 17 years old, he was the same as his father. He had done a lot of things like stealing chickens, walking dogs, and courting flowers. The Bai Clan didn't have any permanent property, and had merely relied on the autumn winds to live their lives for many years. Their entire clan did not have any fixed income, so this did not catch the attention of the second lady. They were only thinking of how the Second Miss had grown up by the Madam's side. If they were to leave the pavilion, apart from having three thousand taels in the public sector, the Madam and Master Hou would have to make up for it in private. Moreover, the second young lady was a concubine, so marriage was always a bit more difficult. "If the old lady is not suppressing him as an elder, then the marquis can't very well refuse."

"Hmph, although our ancestors passed down the title of nobility, if we don't have the actual power in our hands, then we are only lacking a little bit?" Master Hou has been an official at the coast for many years, and not only has he been exposed to the sun and the wind, but there are also sea thieves who often invade us. It was one thing for this shitty person to not feel sorry for the duke, but for him to be in so much trouble all day just to hold the marquis back, just what kind of peace was he in? It was simply because the marquis wasn't born because of her. Don't look at how the old lady dotes on Mrs. Bai and her big brother on the surface. In her heart, aren't you thinking about whether her son can inherit the title of a noble in the future? It's just that her son is too weak, and the mud cannot support the wall. " The more Mrs. Han thought about it, the angrier she got.

Nanny Qi hurried forward to help Mrs. Han, "Don't be angry Madam, although our Marquis doesn't have any direct sons, he has at least three concubines. The eldest young master is born to Mrs. Bai, and looks like he's been raised to be a cripple, but the third young master and fourth young master are still young and intelligent.

Mrs. Han closed her eyes. "If my Brother Hao was still here, why would I be so passive?"

"Madam, don't be sad. If the spirit of the second young master in heaven were to see you in such a state, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace. Besides, you still have a big girl." Seeing that she had stirred up her mistress' grief, Nanny Qi hurriedly tried to comfort her.

Hearing Nanny Qi mention her daughter, Mrs. Han smiled. "That's right, even if it's for the sake of Sister Yan'er, I can't back down so easily. Although Sister Ying wasn't born of me, she grew up by my side. She doesn't have a direct sister, so she can only hope to help out when she gets married. How can she let that prodigal son of the Bai Family get away with it? I will write to the Old Master right now and tell him not to agree to the Old Granny's request. "

At this moment, Nanny Qi patted her head, "Look at my head. Madam, there's another thing. It's about Qingliu."

Mrs. Han raised her head and asked, "What happened to Qingliu?"

Nanny Qi said, "The old lady said that Eldest Young Master is also 14 years old this year and is at the same age as Young Master Mu Qing. In order to prevent him from messing around outside, she prepared to send the red silk beside Eldest Young Master to be his concubine. Are you saying that you don't care about your concubine? Bai Yi told the old lady that the eldest young master had taken a fancy to Qingliu and had asked the old lady to help him with his talks. Even if we do not mention today, I'm afraid by tomorrow morning, the old lady would have already opened her mouth. "

Qingliu, who was standing outside the door, nearly threw away the tray in her hand when she heard this. It took her a great deal of effort to control her trembling body: it was one thing for her to somehow travel from modern times to this strange dynasty, and she was even forced to become a servant without freedom or human rights. Now, was he really going to do that?
