Chapter 26 Nephew
  When Yu Qinglian heard this, she slowed down the movement of touching the cards in her hand.
  Finally, he stopped and asked, "I wonder where Mrs. Wu's nephew is now?"
  "My nephew has been reading books about sages since he was a child, and now he is working as a editor in Shengdu Yamen." Seeing the drama, Mrs. Wu simply stopped and said, "The official position is a bit small."
  "But he is young, only twenty-three. He has a long life ahead of him. After a few years of experience in the yamen, there are plenty of opportunities for advancement."
  Twenty-three is still young?
  It is said that young people are promising. When King Yu was twenty-three years old, he had already conquered the borders and became a powerful god of killing!
  Even though King Yu represents a very small number, looking at the top picks in recent years, the top picks in civil and military affairs are all in their early twenties.
  The other two ladies looked at each other and both knew that Mrs. Wu's nephew was definitely useless.
  Otherwise, with the help of his relative, Marble Shaoqing, he would not be an editor under the yamen.
  They can all think of this, and naturally Yu Qinglian can too.
  The grand master of the left and right said that the family background is not a problem. She hoped that the other party's background would be as bad as possible. Then she played another card and said: "A talented person does not care about the difficulties in front of him."
  "As long as you have a noble character and a clean origin."
  "Yes, yes, that character is definitely good." Mrs. Wu assured her, looking at Yu Qinglian tentatively, and said: "Today's young people are talented and capable, but they just lack opportunities."
  The profound meaning in the words was self-evident, Yu Qinglian smiled and said: "An opportunity, it came unexpectedly."
  "That's the truth." The Vice Minister's wife touched her cards and said casually: "I'm going to put it bluntly, even if this second young lady is not the reincarnation of the demon star, it is true that her brain is not working well."
  "There is also such a thing as self-recommended pillow mat. If she marries as a woman, will it be appropriate?"
  "You can rest assured, Mrs. Assistant Minister." Yu Qinglian pretended to be magnanimous and said, "No matter how bad the second lady is, she is from the Taishi Mansion. When she gets married, I will definitely send a few suitable people as dowry."
  "With their persuasion, the second lady will not and will not dare to do something embarrassing!"
  "With your words, I feel relieved." Mrs. Wu's smile was as bright as the blooming flowers in the garden: "I will take care of this matter when I get back."
  While several people were talking, Shen Zhuoxi and his party walked to the corridor next to the pavilion.
  Their conversation was neither too loud nor too quiet, and Shen Zhuoxi heard it clearly. She had no intention of paying attention to these people, especially at noon when the heat was the worst.
  Might as well go back to cool off and sleep.
  But Yu Qinglian noticed that she was not accompanied by Taozi, but by a few unfamiliar maidservants. Their clothes were completely different from those of the servants of the Taishi Mansion, and she turned to look at Aunt Hua.
  Aunt Hua understood what she meant, cleared her throat, and called Hui Zhi next to Shen Zhuoxi: "Bold servant, your master is stupid and doesn't understand the rules, and you don't know either?"
  "When you see your mistress and foreign guests, don't you know how to come forward and say hello?"
  Huizhi also heard their previous conversation and didn't have any good impressions of these noble ladies. Taking advantage of Jing Muling's influence, she said, "Aunt Hua, I know the rules."
  "It's just the prince's order. The second lady has just had her pulse checked and taken medicine. She is weak and cannot work hard. She needs to go back to the house to rest as soon as possible. I dare not disobey the prince."
  "You are the maidservant of the Grand Master's Mansion, right? Why do you listen to King Yu?" Mrs. Wu snorted coldly and said, "Is it possible that seeing King Yu caring a little for your young lady, you expect to become a member of Prince Yu's Mansion?" ?”
  "Mrs. Wu." Huizhi bowed slightly and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am the maid of His Highness King Yu. I am ordered to take care of the second young lady. How can I have extravagant expectations?"
  "Okay, since it's His Highness King Yu's request, it doesn't matter." Yu Qinglian pretended to be conciliatory and looked at the others: "Where did this girl come from?"
  Huizhi did not raise her head, and said according to Shen Zhuoxi's previous words: "The second young lady has a distinguished status, but there are very few people around her to serve her. They are here to serve you."
  Aunt Hua snorted coldly and said: "If I remember correctly, the transactions of the servants of the Taishi Mansion must be stamped and approved by the housekeeper. Not all cats and dogs can be let in."
  "What status Miss Huizhi holds in Prince Yu's Mansion has nothing to do with us, but don't treat Taishi Mansion as Prince Yu's Mansion and do whatever you want."
  Huizhi smiled lightly and said: "Mother Hua, I haven't finished what I said. They were also sent by His Highness King Yu to the second young lady. Don't blame His Highness King Yu for meddling in the affairs of the Grand Master's Mansion."
  "Any famous young lady in Shengdu doesn't have four maids to serve her. Even if the second young lady is ill, her status is still noble, but there is only one old maid by her side."
  "Aren't there peach blossoms and peaches?" Aunt Hua said coldly: "Are you blaming the eldest lady for not making adequate arrangements?"
  "I don't dare." Hui Zhi admitted her mistake, but she didn't give in at all: "When something happens to Taohua, Tao Zi has no intention of serving her. There is only one servant by her side. Everything is arranged by His Highness King Yu."
  His Royal Highness Prince Yu was pulled out one by one as a shield. No matter how good-hearted Nanny Hua was, she still stared angrily.
  After a while, Nanny Hua finally thought of the instructions. Yu Qinglian pulled her sleeves and said: "Since His Highness King Yu gave it to him, just accept it. When the second lady gets married, he will send it back to His Highness King Yu." .”
  Huizhi then saluted and helped Shen Zhuoxi away.
  Before she had gone far, Mrs. Wu couldn't wait to say: "Hey, King Yu has sent maids one after another to serve him, and they are also for the doctor. He values ​​​​so much, does he have a crush on the second lady?"
  "Oh, King Yu is not a fool. He doesn't even look at the noble ladies in Shengdu who beg to be his concubine." The wife of the assistant minister said disdainfully: "Can you like the second lady?"
  The other lady smiled and said, "Didn't the Grand Master's wife just say that King Yu took care of the second lady because of Princess Xiaoqing's affection? You are thinking too much."
  "That's right, His Highness King Yu is just blind, but his heart is not blind." Mrs. Wu sneered.
  "Maybe." Yu Qinglian couldn't figure out what King Yu was causing, so she pushed the card absentmindedly and said, "That's it for today, the grand master is coming back."
  The ladies got up and left with their own thoughts.
  Yu Qinglian stopped Mrs. Wu and said, "As you saw just now, His Highness King Yu took great care of the second lady. You must pay close attention to your nephew's matter."
  "We will be a family by then, and the Grand Master will also take care of your nephew."
  Seeing the other ladies walking away, Mrs. Wu hesitated and said, "Mrs. Taishi, my nephew is a nice person, but after all, he is the only son in the family. He has been pampered since he was a child and has some bad habits..."
  "It's not that you can't change." Yu Qinglian interrupted her and said, "As long as you don't kill people and set fires, who wouldn't make a small mistake?"
  "Yes." Mrs. Wu was overjoyed and felt completely relieved.
  If she could reach the Grand Master's residence, not only would her mother's family benefit, but her husband's family would also benefit a lot.
  Shen Zhuoxi returned to Qingfeng Tower in the scorching sun. Aunt Ju had already prepared chrysanthemum herbal tea to relieve the heat.
  In a blink of an eye, he saw three unfamiliar faces following Huizhi, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Where did they come from?"
  She drank two cups in a row before looking up at the confused Aunt Ju: "Huizhi is one of our own, and she bought these three maids from outside. She said they were given by King Yu to avoid trouble. "
  "Is it reliable?" Aunt Ju was very worried. If she exposed the fact that she had recovered a long time ago, she would cause trouble. She whispered: "What if someone starts to inquire about them..."
  "Halfway through, Huizhi has already given poison to the three of them. Only I can undo it, once a month, otherwise the poison will spread." Shen Zhuoxi put down the tea bowl and said, "They don't dare to talk nonsense."
  "Besides, Prince Yu's Mansion has hired another doctor, and I will take the opportunity to recover right away. No one else will be able to find anything."
