The little devil smiled and said: "Grandpa loves me." As he spoke, he took out the silver.
His status is low, if he can show filial piety to Su Peisheng, that would be a good thing.
"Alright, mind your own business then. Since the master is concerned about that side, you should also pay attention to it. If anything happens, come and tell me." Su Peisheng said this and walked away from him.
Xiao Guizi touched his head and thought to himself, "Alright, I'll really be more careful from now on."
Haven't you seen? Grandpa Su is worried too.
The next day, went to Zhengyuan to pay respects.
It started snowing in the middle of the night and it's already very thick now, with more still floating down from the sky. It's clearly not going to stop anytime soon.
"Let's all stay here, I'll go myself."
She has people serving her, but... doesn't want to call out and suffer along with them.
If Li Ce and others want to make things difficult for her, there is no need to call the maidservants to follow and stare.
A Ling wanted to follow, but A Yuan was sensible and pulled her back.
After Yezi put on her cloak and walked with an umbrella, Ah Ling became unhappy: "Why did you pull me? Just let the girl walk alone?"
"You, miss, it's for our own good. We'll go pick you up later, just don't head in that direction." Ah Yuan pointed to the east.
Ah Ling nodded, that was where Li Ce Fu Jin lived.
Ye Zao didn't leave from the garden either, following a small path, slowly heading towards Zhengyuan.
This cow was originally separated and lived alone because she was sick.
It's a pity that there isn't even one imperial concubine left. On the contrary, she was delighted to have some peace and quiet. Along the way, she only met eunuchs who were sweeping and palace maids who were doing chores. They also smiled and greeted her with a bow, calling out "Greetings, young lady".
In the main courtyard, there were people who came earlier than Ye Zao. Song Shi and Zhang Shi lived closest, so they arrived early.
The weather is bad today, so Ye Zao is a little late, and no one says anything.
After all, there are still many people who haven't arrived yet.
Actually, Ye Zao is still a bit early, after all, it's quite far from Zhengyuan.
Everyone has finally arrived, Ye Zao let out a sigh of relief. Because the weather was bad today, Li Ce's wife, who is pregnant, didn't come.
It was Chang himself who came.
When it was time for dinner, Fuxin smiled and asked everyone: "This weather is cold, have you lacked anything?"
Everyone naturally wouldn't say what's lacking, it's just a sentence, who still expects Fu Jin to truly love?
"What's lacking at the Xus' place? You say you're new, but you've been serving Master for a long time. You say you're old, but that's not true either. Anyway, if you're short of something, just come to the main house." Madam Fu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master and Mistress!" Xushi hastily knelt down.
"Alright, the weather is bad, this snow doesn't seem like it will stop anytime soon, let's all go back. It's cold, everyone take care of yourselves." The lady got up.
Everyone hurriedly thanked and then bid farewell and left.
As soon as they went out the door, Chang Shi smiled and asked: "Why did you come by yourself? Where's your daughter?"
"I'm just a silly girl myself." Ye Zao smiled.
Chang nodded and understood in his heart, thinking that Ye Zao was rare and feared that his own daughter would suffer.
Yun Ning glanced at Ye Zao and said: "Miss Ye's dress is quite good."
"Ah, Yuning sister knows her stuff, I don't have many good ones, can't compare to sister's in front of grandfather, all are good." Ye Zao smiled lightly.
"Alright, you can go now, we're not going in the same direction anyway." Chang Shi smiled and gave Ye Zao a slight push.
Ye Zao smiled and nodded, then turned his body in his own direction and left.
Ye Zao walked to the west courtyard gate and saw Ah Yuan holding an umbrella waiting there.
The west wing is now uninhabited, with only a gatekeeper left. It's just an empty courtyard.
A-Yuan smiled and took a few steps forward: "Miss."
"Hmm, how long have you been standing there?" Ye Zao asked with a smile.
"Not long after, counting the time, it was actually an early exit." He said, and then went back with her.
Entering the room, Ye Zao went to warm up by the fire first, it was too cold.
Her hands were icy cold. Ah Ling handed her a hand warmer: "Warm up first, I'll get you a cup of ginger tea."
"Will our charcoal be enough to last until spring?" Ye Zao asked, seeing that the charcoal basin was burning strongly.
"This... is really frightening, if it's just this point, I'm afraid that by the New Year, there won't be any left." Ah Yuan said.
"What? Then shouldn't we use it sparingly?" Ah Ling happened to bring in a tray of ginger tea and chimed in.
"Even if we save, it won't be enough until March. By February and March, although it's spring, it's still very cold, and if you don't burn fire properly, it's easy to catch a chill. Nowadays, even one brazier in this house is not quite enough." Ah Yuan frowned.
"Wait until I see Grandfather again, and beg him for a moment." Ye Zao thought, Fourth Master voluntarily brought up the small fire basin, guessing that he should not fail to give her enough charcoal.
It's just... this also has a precedent, I'm afraid that after exceeding it, the government will have something else to say.
That's no good.
"Or... shall we spend some money?" Ah Yuan thought that asking Fourth Master directly might not be too good...
"Hua Yinzi is not afraid, the problem is that this is a serious matter, it's going to be brought into the palace, it's not something trivial. How can we keep it hidden?" Ye Zao shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything good, clothes and jewelry, I never open my mouth. However... dim sum and charcoal fire, occasionally want a little, will Fourth Master think she's obedient?"
And it's also the feeling of being unable to hold on anymore and asking Fourth Master for a little something, maybe Fourth Master enjoys it.
A woman as beautiful as a flower relies on her feelings.
Men aren't just fond of protecting others, is it not a good thing?
A-Yuan and A-Ling exchanged a glance, thinking that the girl had her own thoughts, so they didn't say much.
"Drink something warm first." Ah Ling handed over a cup of ginger tea.
Yezao continued drinking in big gulps, and only then did he feel that the coolness in his stomach had decreased a lot.
In the evening, the snow finally stopped.
The sky has turned dark, and the eunuchs dare not rest; they must sweep the snow. Otherwise, how will their masters be able to move about early tomorrow morning?
Fourth Master and Su Peisheng arrived at Jin Yu Ge when they saw that the outside had not been swept yet, and there was only one path that could be walked.
Fourth Master's face didn't look good anymore.
The eunuchs looked from a distance, frightened out of their wits, how did Master come here, and they haven't even had time to clean up yet!
Outside the door, Song Pozi was originally going to clean up the snow under the eaves, saw Siye and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave gives greetings to Master Ye."
Hearing the noise, Ah Yuan also came out: "The slave pays respects to Master."
"What about Miss Ye?" Su Peisheng thought to himself, has she become arrogant after just a few days of being pampered? The master has arrived and she still hasn't come out?
"Regarding what Master Su said, the young lady is feeling a bit unwell, so I'll go call her now."
As they spoke, Ye Zao had already come out, her hair disheveled: "The slave girl pays respects to Master."
Fourth Master grunted and pulled her up: "Are you ill?"
"It's just too cold... I was lazy. Mainly, I didn't think that in such weather, Fourth Master, you would still come out to do things."
