Due to the things that he had planned last night still not being completed, Nangong Waner woke up early, washed and dressed carefully, then headed to the Assistant Minister couple's courtyard. She made a plan in her heart, that she must hurry and eat breakfast with the Lord Assistant Minister.
At breakfast, Nangong Waner did not care about the supercilious look that Nangong Ruyu threw over when he was looking down on her, she flattered Lord Assistant Minister with her doggy legs, and when she saw that Lord Assistant Minister was delighted with her, Nangong Waner fawned over him, "Daddy, is Assistant Minister's position much higher than Zhongshu Officer's?"
Lord Assistant Minister was currently in high spirits, so he naturally answered with great happiness, "Mmm", which could be considered a short, reserved answer.
Nangong Waner saw that the conversation with the Lord Assistant Minister was going according to his plan, he was immediately overjoyed and spoke to the Lord Assistant Minister, "Then Daddy, will the level of the Assistant Minister be much higher than that of the Zhongshu Officer?"
Lord Assistant Minister was both proud and happy as he said, "Of course, a lot more."
Nangong Waner was happy on one side while his eyes lit up, "Then as the daughter of the Lord Assistant Minister, can I raise the monthly salary too?"
Lord Assistant Minister seemed to have already seen through his daughter's shrewdness. "Haha" laughed a few times, but he still replied, "Sure."
Nangong Waner repressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to set a trap for Lord Assistant Minister. "Then, father, I'm really happy for you. On such a memorable day, I want to buy you a promotion present."
However, Lord Assistant Minister didn't seem to follow her plan. Lord Assistant Minister was silent for a moment, then said, "You are already old enough to get married, so you can't run around on the streets in the future. You don't need the promotion gift, just accept it."
Nangong Waner was really speechless, and sighed, "Daddy is not going to let this go!"
"Daddy, there's a new comer to the theater recently. He looks really good and his singing voice is really good. Can I go out and watch the show?" Nangong Waner had really only made up an excuse for Lord Assistant Minister to let him wander out of the manor, but he had forgotten that it was because of the scandal between him and the theater's pillar, "Xiao Yue", that Lord Assistant Minister had been banned.
Sure enough, when the Lord Assistant Minister heard Nangong Waner's words, he was angered, "Why don't you grow up in the playground?"
Nangong Waner realized that he said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, "Daddy, I heard that the Octagonal Bazaar's soy sauce dumplings are selling very well. I'm actually going to buy it for you to try!" Nangong Waner immediately acted obediently, occasionally pouring food and water for the Lord Assistant Minister.
The Lord Assistant Minister lowered his head and remained silent, not saying a word.
wanted to use his most powerful move, as he took the opportunity to stop eating to protest. Lord Assistant Minister acted as if he did not see anything, she lightly cleared her throat, shook her sleeves, and continued to eat slowly, Nangong Waner thought to himself that if she did not want to roll around wildly, she would accidentally glance at Madam Yang first, which meant that Madam Yang should not act rashly. Seeing this, Nangong Waner, who had just stood up once again, slowly sat back down and obediently continued eating.
Returning to his own courtyard, the bored Nangong Waner could only take out the few days of a book called < Encyclopedia of Immortals and Demons > and read a few pages of it.
Nangong Waner sprawled in front of the table, flipping through a drawing book. Ju Xiang kindly brought the melon seeds and peanuts over, which Nangong Waner was very satisfied with, reaching out to grab them while eating, "Ju Xiang, why do I feel like I've gotten thinner recently?" Nangong Waner would occasionally look at his drawing book and speak very casually.
Ju Xiang went up to pour some tea and answered, "Yes, young miss has become skinnier lately, and is even more energetic and radiant."
Nangong Waner flipped through the book as he focused on reading its contents, curling his lips, he did not think much of it and continued, "I know that you're a cultured maid, talking to me in a rather cultured manner, I'm talking about how I've been eating in the kitchen for the past few days, I don't have much appetite, I'm hungry and skinny!"
Ju Xiang opened his mouth, but was unable to say anything, "Miss, you have been grounded by the Lord Assistant Minister, I naturally am not able to go out of the house to buy you food."
Nangong Waner did not turn his head, and continued to flip through the books, "Has there been any gossip news exchanged with the servants of the residence recently?"
Ju Xiang naturally knew that his young miss liked to hear gossip about him the most, "Some young miss, it's spreading around Shangjing city's gossip circles recently, saying that after being rejected by" Xiao Yue Yue "as a" lover ", she felt extremely embarrassed and angry, and never left her home again."
Nangong Waner suddenly put down the drawing book and shot a vicious gaze at Ju Xiang.
Ju Xiang's face revealed his fear, his voice sounded out, "Miss, I did not say this, it's really spreading widely, the servants in the mansion were all laughing when they told me this."
Nangong Waner's face did not look better, but instead, looked worse.
Ju Xiang tried his best to alleviate the pain, when he suddenly thought of something, "Miss, if you are sick of the food in the mansion's big kitchen, why don't we set up a small kitchen in the courtyard."
These words were said directly into Nangong Waner's heart, causing him to reveal a look of joy, "This is really a good idea!" Then, Nangong Waner began to calculate in his mind.
"Then Ju Xiang, do you know how to cook?" Nangong Waner looked at Ju Xiang and asked.
Ju Xiang was a little embarrassed, and immediately lowered his voice again, "I … "No."
Nangong Waner sighed, wasn't the Palace's selection criteria a little too low? "Fine, I know that you are someone who has a low status, and was once served by someone else, I will do it myself, I know everything!"
Ju Xiang did not agree, "Miss, we can ask the Master and Madam for a woman who knows how to cook to come to our courtyard.
Nangong Waner did not agree with her suggestion, "Forget it, it's fine to have one extra person and an extra set of money. Moreover, the courtyard is not big, so it's very crowded and I hate it when there's so many people living there."
Ju Xiang nodded, and did not say anything else.
