Chapter 21 Qinyun, Hongdou
The other two, Hongdou and Qiulan, were even more nervous.
Qiao Rongjin saw the nervousness of the people below and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to keep Qinyun and Hongdou as they were easier to control.
"Qinyun and Hongdou stay, and the rest of you can go. Haitangyuan really doesn't need so many people."
Upon hearing this, Qiulan and Nanny Wang finally felt relieved.
But people's sorrows and joys are not the same. Qin Yun and Hong Dou's faces were full of joy. They knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao Rongjin, "Thank you, Master."
Especially Hongdou, who was grinning so foolishly with her teeth bared, which made Qinglian feel disgusted.
But Qinglian was also happy in her heart because her master did not let Qiulan stay!
"Get up, you will all listen to Qinglian from now on. While everyone is here, I will talk about the rules of Haitangyuan."
"Yes." Qinyun and Hongdou answered.
"There are two head maids in Haitang Courtyard. One is Qinglian, the one next to me. She is in charge of all affairs of Haitang Courtyard, including you. The other head maid is Zhuyun, the one next to her." Qiao Rongjin said, pointing at Zhuyun next to Qi You.
Zhu Yun, who was suddenly promoted to a head maid, looked at her master in confusion, and then nothing else happened. She continued to lower her head and remained silent.
"Hello, Sister Qinglian, hello, Sister Zhuyun!" Qinyun was a very capable person, and she immediately smiled and greeted the two of them.
Hongdou realized it later and followed suit.
Qinglian nodded with satisfaction. It was not bad. He knew how to respect her as an elder of Haitangyuan.
Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun remained silent, but her eyes changed slightly.
"Let's make it clear in advance. Haitangyuan is not like other places. I, your master, am not favored. Those who want a better future can leave now. If you stay and I find out that someone dares to betray Haitangyuan, then you will not want to see the consequences. Your indentures are all here with me. Think carefully. Do any of you two want to not stay?"
As Qiao Rongjin spoke, his eyes were looking at Qin Yun. She was the most ambitious among them. She could choose to leave or stay. If she chose to stay and then betrayed him in the end, she would not be soft-hearted.
"I am willing to stay!" Hongdou spoke first.
Qin Yun naturally felt the gaze from above, and her heart trembled. It seemed that her thoughts must have been noticed by the master in front of her. However, although she wanted to fly up the branches, she did not want to betray her master. Now she had nowhere to go and could only stay here and wait for the opportunity. If there was a better place to go in the future, she would naturally tell her master, so she knelt on the ground firmly and said, "This servant is willing to stay!"
"Okay, the ones who stay are from Haitang Courtyard. Qinglian, you take care of them."
"Yes, master."
"Zhuyun, come with me to the princess and get their indentures. Also, you two come with me." Qiao Rongjin pointed at Nanny Wang and Qiulan and said.
Nanny Wang and Qiulan, who had listened to Qiao Rongjin's words throughout, said:
This Master Qiao really doesn't avoid them!
"Son, wait for your mother at home! I will go and get the old nanny for you." Qiao Rongjin bent down and pinched Qi You's face with a smile.
"Okay, then mom, please come back soon." Qi You also responded with a smile.
The two people that his mother left behind just now were also the ones he felt were more suitable. As expected of his mother, her ideas were similar to hers! Qi You was visibly happy.
Jinxiu Hall, the princess’s residence.
Hearing that Qiao Rongjin had brought the people she asked Nanny Zhang to send over, the princess was a little confused. Was she dissatisfied? She could only say lightly, "Let the person in."
She was a little unhappy with Qiao. Qiao's shadow was everywhere these days, and she was really annoyed.
"Yes." Qiyun, who was on duty, replied, then turned and walked out of the house.
Qiao Rongjin, who was waiting outside the house, saw the maid coming again, bringing with her a person who looked like a head maid.
"My name is Qiyun, and I am honored to meet Master Qiao. Master Qiao, please follow me." Qiyun pointed the way with her right hand. Her behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very steady and reliable, with the temperament of a maid beside the mistress of the house.
Qiao Rongjin nodded to Qiyun and said to her with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Qiyun."
Hearing this, Qiyun bowed again to Qiao Rongjin and said, "This is my duty. I don't deserve Master Qiao's thanks."
When Qiao Rongjin came here again, she was in the mood to look around the yard. It was indeed magnificent, wide and big, which made her jealous.
She remembered that after the death of the emperor of the Dajing Dynasty, the concubines with sons could leave the palace and live with their sons in their old age, and those without sons could also spend their old age in the palace. In the future, when the male protagonist died, she could leave the palace and live with her son. Then she could go wherever she wanted to play, so wonderful!
If she had the chance, she also wanted to buy a big house, no, a villa, which is much bigger and would definitely be more comfortable to live in than the one the princess lives in. The more Qiao Rongjin thought about it, the more hopeful she felt in life!
The group passed through two corridors and gardens and finally arrived at the princess's residence.
As soon as Qiao Rongjin entered, she bowed and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Princess."
The princess looked at the well-mannered Qiao below. No matter how many times she had seen her, Qiao always made her eyes light up. Of course, she only referred to her appearance.
"Get up, we are all sisters." The princess smiled fakely with the corners of her lips curved.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Sister, why are you here today?" The princess said this, but her eyes were looking at the nanny and maid behind Qiao Rongjin.
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin didn't beat around the bush and said, "Today I do have something I need to ask of you, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Rongjin, "Sister, you can speak frankly. I will do my best to satisfy you."
"It's like this. The old maid who took care of Qi You before wants to go to Haitang Courtyard. She has been taking care of Qi You for the past two years. He is not used to someone else taking care of him. Your Majesty has specially sent a maid over. Haitang Courtyard really doesn't need so many servants. I will just leave two behind."
Hearing this, the princess was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If Xiaowu wants it, I will have someone send it over along with the indenture contract. If these two sisters don't like it, forget it. It's because they don't have this blessing!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin sincerely thanked her, "Thank you, Princess. I have something else to do in the courtyard, so I won't bother you any more."
This was not a difficult matter and it was something the princess could do easily, so it was not surprising that she agreed so quickly.
The princess pretended to try to persuade him to stay and then let it go.
After Qiao Rongjin left, Nanny Zhang beside the princess frowned and said, "Madam, the nanny who took care of the fifth young master before doesn't look like a good person."
Hearing this, the princess picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then said slowly, "It was Qiao who came to ask for it. I can't possibly refuse to give it to her. As for what kind of person this nanny is, it has nothing to do with me. It's fine as long as Xiaowu likes her. If anything happens in the future, it can't be blamed on us!"
It seems that this nanny is not a good person. Xiaowu must have suffered a lot under her "care" in the past. I just don't know why Xiaowu still needs her care now. The princess can only think that the child is too young after all. Even if that person treats him badly, he is a little dependent on him, but this has nothing to do with her.
