254 I like him very much
"Why did you tell me this?" Shen Qingru asked, looking at the other side.
Xu Mingzhu chuckled, "you girl, you are really different. You don't comfort me if I say so miserably."
Shen Qingru blinked. She didn't think Xu Mingzhu came to her to comfort her.
Xu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "you helped me with song Qingyun? Thank you very much."
"Why did you tell me this?" Shen Qingru asked, looking at the other side.
Xu Mingzhu chuckled, "you girl, you are really different. You don't comfort me if I say so miserably."
Shen Qingru blinked. She didn't think Xu Mingzhu came to her to comfort her.
Xu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "you helped me with song Qingyun? Thank you very much." Xu Mingzhu smiled. It was really beautiful. A pair of big black eyes bent into two crescent moons when laughing. She has a dignified oval face, Phoenix eyes, a rosy nose, cherry lips and skin like snow. She was a natural beauty, but now her face was pale and a little tired.
Shen Qingru looked at her slightly pale face and moved a little pity: "don't take song Qingyun's kind of heart. Even if I don't do it, someone will do it. The old lady will choose a husband with outstanding personality and appearance for you." Xu Mingzhu's worried appearance is mostly for the old lady to find someone else for her.
Xu Mingzhu still smiled faintly on her face, but a strange emotion flashed through her eyes, as if she had another plan. Shen Qingru didn't persuade her anymore. She didn't know Xu Mingzhu very well. Most of them just looked at the face of the old princess to help her.
Returning to his residence, Shen Qingru saw Mo Yu welcoming her eagerly. After saluting her, she said happily: "the old princess really loves miss Qingru. She just sent such a large box of jewelry two days ago. Today, she asked people to change the furniture in the house. Miss Qingru, come and have a look."
Shen Qingru is quite helpless. The old princess is the kind of person who will unconditionally touch all the best things in front of you with both hands once you are regarded as your own person. In the past, she doted on Xu Mingzhu without a bottom line. Now it seems that the old princess has transferred this doting to herself.
In the room, Mammy Sheng, who was beside the old princess, was directing the servant girls in and out, sweating. Seeing Shen Qingru coming in, mother Sheng quickly wiped her sweat, saluted Shen Qingru and said with a smile, "the old princess said to let you see for yourself. If you don't like anything, you can tell the old slave at any time that there are many good things in the warehouse."
Shen Qingru looked around with a smile. The tables, chairs and cabinets had been replaced with gold-plated purple sandalwood, which looked very magnificent. Mother Sheng also explained with a smile: "this thing is an old thing. The old lady herself has been reluctant to use it and let the warehouse keep it well." Shen Qingru was slightly helpless. This thing is an antique. At first glance, it is a valuable thing. If there is a knock in her house, wouldn't it disappoint the old lady's kindness? She still felt that the old set of sour branch wood tables, chairs, cabinets and cabinets were better.
But the old imperial concubine loves her with satisfaction. Shen Qingru can only accept this kindness. Everything was arranged according to the old princess's instructions. The old princess always said that Shen Qingru's room was empty and had no playthings. It was like a snow cave. Now I'm determined to tell her. There are more than ten bottles, pots, dishes and porcelain on the table. They are complete sets of good things. They look best when matched. On the empty little table, I didn't forget to put a beauty shrug bottle, and specially ordered the servant girl to fold a newly opened mixin orchid and put it in the bottle, so that my granddaughter can smell the fragrance of mixin orchid and sleep safely at night.
The old princess doted on a person. She really took everything into account, even the most subtle aspects.
Shen Qingru smiled and thanked mammy Sheng. Although the other party was just a slave, it represented the face of the old princess. She should seriously express her gratitude. Besides, Mammy Sheng has really done her best. She has been following the old princess for many years. She works for you. It's her duty to be seven points good, and it's your face to be nine points good.
"My grandmother is old, and my grandchildren can't serve her every night. They have to bother mother Sheng." Shen Qingru also timely expressed her concern for the old princess, highlighting mother Sheng's transcendent position among the mothers.
"Maids and maidservants should do their best. Miss Qingru doesn't have to worry." mother Sheng smiled and answered.
According to the Convention, Shen Qingru wanted to give a silver reward to mother Sheng. This makes people a little difficult. If ordinary mothers come to help you, they will be very grateful if they give you a few silver spindles to thank you. But mammy Sheng is an old man beside the old lady. She can't send her away with a few liang of silver.
Mo Yu was slightly in trouble and looked like her own young lady for help.
Shen Qingru smiled faintly, took the silver spindle from Mo Yu's hand and stuffed it into mother Sheng's hand: "please invite mother and several sisters to have tea."
Mother Sheng's smile was very appropriate: "the old slave thanked the young lady for her reward."
Although it is the largest silver spindle, it will never pay attention to mammy Sheng, who has been a confidant slave for many years. Shen Qingru smiled and looked at mammy Sheng's hair room in surprise: "Oh, Mammy's hairpin is missing a corner... Did you help me move the furniture just now?"
After all, mother Sheng is a slave of some status. She directs other servant girls to move furniture. She will never do it by herself. Mother Sheng subconsciously touched the hairpin on her head, but the young lady in front of her told Mo Yu with a gentle smile: "take the Golden Peony I put on the dresser."
The gold peony hairpin was one of the jewels given to her by the old princess. If it was valuable, it was not valuable in the box of jewels, but it was a good thing for slaves that they had never seen before. Mother Rao Shisheng had seen many good things. She was still stunned when she saw the Golden Peony hairpin. She subconsciously opened her mouth to say something.
Shen Qingru took the Golden Peony hairpin first, put it on for mother Sheng, and looked at it with a smile: "this hairpin is very suitable for mother Sheng. I think it's better than mother Sheng's previous one."
Her old one was not worth much. This Golden Peony hairpin is not cheap at first sight. Mother Sheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Shen Qingru gently patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "it was mine. Mother broke a hairpin. I paid for it to mother. Please don't blame her."
Speaking of this, mother Sheng must accept it: "thank you, miss."
She now fully understands where Miss Qingru is better than the former Pearl Princess. She is much better than the Pearl Princess in life, work and people. No wonder the old princess doted on Princess pearl so much that she was not willing to give her all the jewelry at the bottom of her box, but loved her so much.
Mother Sheng feels a little pity. If Miss Qingru is a man, she will be able to support the family business of the Regent's house. Unfortunately, she is a daughter and will leave the house after all.
"Miss, I......" after mother Sheng left, Mo Yu lowered her head in shame. She should have handled the human relations between these slaves. Where should the young lady worry about it personally.
Shen Qingru smiled: "it's nothing. You're still young, as long as the etiquette is good. I thank her extra for this hairpin. Whether you give it or not, it just depends on my mood. There's nothing wrong with the silver reward you gave me according to the example."
That's true, but if Mo Yu only gave the reward, she was afraid that mammy Sheng would not say it in her mouth. They had always respected their identity for many years and felt that they were different from ordinary slaves. It was an insult to their master to reward themselves according to ordinary slaves.
Shen Qingru's generous, decent and traceless work is really admirable in the eyes of mother Sheng.
At night, Shen Qingru lay on the red sandalwood carved bed that the old lady had changed for her, tossing and turning. She is a person who recognizes the bed. She is not used to the sudden change of bed. She even misses the small acid branch wood bed used before.
Mo Yu heard her voice tossing and turning, and hurriedly asked, "do you want to drink water, girl?"
Shen Qingru gave a sound, drank a few mouthfuls of water and lay down again under the service of Mo Yu. She didn't want to disturb Moyu and other servant girls. She tried her best to keep herself lying on her back, but she also slept slowly
However, this sleep was not very stable.
She dreamed of the past again. That day, the cold young man suddenly smiled and asked her, "Qingru, will you marry me?"
He used to talk low and cold, but it was unexpectedly warm that day. Without the tough and cold tone, the handsome outline of the young man was also gentle, but his expression was so firm in the breeze.
She opened her mouth, as if there were more emotions than surprise. The dazzling sunshine crossed half of Huo Qijun's body, but the other half was shrouded in the shadow. Even the well-defined face left strange mottled under the shadow of leaves, which made people unable to see it really.
But she suddenly felt dry mouth, her heart beat like a drum, and bursts of dizziness.
"This... I..." Shen Qingru couldn't speak, so she could only look at each other foolishly, as if she hadn't calmed down from the shock of being asked for a marriage.
Huo Qijun said with a faint smile: "isn't it good to marry me?"
He has 10000 reasons to convince her. It's better to marry him than to marry Xiao Qijun and others. He is a dignified Yunyang marquis. In terms of status, he doesn't need to be poor by the king of Wu, but he is much more free to marry in the past. Shen Qingru must also know this.
Huo Qijun did not know that in fact, he did not have to say all his reasons. Only one was enough.
Shen Qingru really likes him and likes him very much.
