The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 400 The King of Chu (1)
"The matter is almost settled, and I'm going back to the capital too. I'll wait for you in the capital." After thinking about it, Shen Xuan decided to return to the capital.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Xue Yaoxi assured with a firm tone.

"Miss, the stuffing in the kitchen has been made, madam, please come over." The servant girl's report interrupted Shen Xuan who was reading.

Putting down the books in her hand, Shen Xuan stood up and said aloud, "Let's go."

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, she walked towards the outside of the courtyard, with the maid Ding Xiang behind her.Qinglian and Banxia hurriedly followed.

Two days ago, Shen Xuan hurried back to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival.After returning to the mansion, it was inevitable that she would be questioned by her family, but Shen Xuan deliberately covered it up. She didn't want her family to know about her going to Longfeng County, so that they would be worried again.As for the two insiders, Shen Chaoxia and Sun Xuexian, they also agreed to keep it secret.The two of them arrived in the capital two days earlier than Shen Xuan, and the maid Shao Yao also went to Uncle Shen.

After returning to the mansion and seeing Shen Shuoxing, Shen Xuan remembered the old Xue who had suddenly disappeared, and didn't know how to explain it to Shen Shuoxing.Before Shen Xuan opened his mouth, Shen Shuoxing explained it himself. It turned out that Mr. Xue had given instructions before leaving. It seemed that he knew that it would take a long time for him to show up.Before Mr. Xue left, he gave Shen Shuoxing a book on the art of Gu poison, and told him to study hard.

As for Lin Pengfei's ambition.Shen Xuan still has to think about his matter in his heart because of his outstanding role in this incident.Not to mention other things, only the fact that Princess Lin and Du Qingcang's marriage is approaching, Shen Xuan doesn't want to get involved too much in this matter.There is affection between the two, and Shen Xuan does not want the relationship between them to break due to certain reasons, besides, the two are married by the emperor.Cannot be canceled.Shen Xuan just returned to the capital, and decided to find time to have a good discussion with Du Qingcang in a few days.

Today is the thirteenth day of the eighth month. Because of the in-laws of He Fu, the Zhou family pays more attention to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival than in previous years, hoping to make the best mooncakes and send them to He Fu.In Zhou's heart, Shen Chaoqiu was engaged to He Yuyao, and Shen's mansion surpassed He's mansion, so Zhou's family seemed a little uncertain about these matters.Fortunately, when Shen Xuan returned to the mansion, with Shen Xuan watching from the side, the Zhou family was relieved.

Shen Xuan has four masters and servants.A few little maids followed behind, and a large group of people headed towards the kitchen in a mighty manner.When they arrived in the kitchen, the servants hurriedly greeted Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan was also good-tempered and didn't care much about these vain gifts. Immediately after, under Shen Xuan's command, she began to make mooncakes.In order to reassure Mrs. Zhou.To give Shen Fu a face, this time Shen Xuan made some tricks on the mooncakes, and the baked ones look much better than in previous years, they are really delicious in color and fragrance.

Around Shen time in the afternoon, the prepared mooncake fillings were almost used up, and Zhou and Shen Xuan began to order them to be delivered to their families.Mrs. Zhou gave orders to Uncle Shen.General's Mansion Du Mansion.He Fu.The Meng Mansion and the Cao Mansion sent them to the Mansion respectively, while Shen Xuan ordered them to be delivered to Prince Jin's Mansion.Even though Xue Yaoxi has not returned to the capital, this gift is indispensable.In addition to the mooncakes that need to be sent to these houses, there are also colleagues and friends listed by Shen Chaoqiu who also need to be sent.

When Shen Xuan asked someone to count the quantity, she found that the delivery was almost done, and she had been busy all day.Sent more than half.

"You guys, go pack a hundred moon cakes and send them back to the backyard later." Shen Xuan turned and told Ding Xiang and the maidservants.

"Yes, Miss." After Ding Xiang and the others answered, they started to pack the mooncakes.

About two quarters of an hour later, the master and servant returned to the backyard, and Shen Xuan ordered Ding Xiang to take Nanny Ding.The five maids.The three little servant girls all gathered in front of them.

"Slaves (old slaves), send your regards to Miss." The maidservants stood still in front of Shen Xuan, and greeted in unison.

"Get up." Shen Xuan said lightly.I saw a few people standing there watching.After looking at his eyes, he slowly explained, "It's not a big deal to ask you to come, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I will give you a share of the mooncakes just made in the mansion today."

"Thank you, miss." Hearing Shen Xuan's reward, everyone replied in one breath.

"Two mooncakes for each person, let's taste it. In addition, Nanny Ding will give you ten taels of silver, five of you Ding Xiang will give you eight taels of silver, and the three little maids will give you five taels of silver. Later, you will go to Nanny Ding to get the silver." Shen Xuan continued to speak out.

"Thank you, Miss, all blessings, Miss." Hearing that there was a silver reward, everyone answered in a much louder voice this time, with obvious joy in their tone.

After sending these maids and women down, Shen Xuan called out to the void, "An Yi."

"Master." An Yi's figure appeared in front of Shen Xuan.

"Take these leftover mooncakes back and share among the dark guards. Don't forget to send someone to the Xiuyi Pavilion to deliver some to Fengmei and the other four. In addition, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver." Shen Xuan turned to the dark one. commanded.

"Yes, master, this subordinate would like to thank the master for your kindness on behalf of the brothers." An Yi replied briskly.With the reward, An Yi's tone is also different from usual.

"Go." Shen Xuan replied casually, signaling him to take the things away.

Seeing Shen Xuan's movements, An Yi gestured towards the void, and two hidden guards appeared with two whoosh sounds. After saluting silently to Shen Xuan, they picked up the mooncakes, and their figures disappeared quickly. .

After finishing these matters, it was time for dinner, and Shen Xuan leisurely walked towards the dining room in the front yard.The Shen family was worried that Shen Xuan had suffered so many days away, so the meals for these two days were mainly for nourishing the body and nourishing Qi, and most of them were cooked according to Shen Xuan's taste.

On August [-]th, Shen Xuan woke up early to get dressed.The jewelry she wears is quite busy.As soon as Shen Xuan returned to the capital, she received a post from He Yuyao, inviting Shen Xuan to go to the National Temple to worship Buddha and offer incense today.

"Miss, Miss He's carriage is coming soon, Madam asked the servant to remind her." The servant girl came in to report.

"Understood, let's go down." Shen Xuan said aloud, turned her head and said, "Nurse Ding, Pinellia, Ding Xiang, the three of you go out today."

"Yes, Miss." The three people who were named answered in unison, and then went to prepare things for going out in a tacit understanding.

A quarter of an hour later, after everything was cleaned up, the four masters and servants walked out of the backyard. After meeting Mrs. Zhou and being instructed, Shen Xuan and others left the mansion.

Just after the hour of the hour, two carriages marked with He Fu left the city in succession, followed by a carriage that looked a little worse.

"Miss, are you okay?" Banxia in the carriage asked Shen Xuan cautiously.

For today's trip, besides Miss He Yuyao, He Mansion also has two other ladies from concubines, one is He Yuyao's cousin He Xiangyue.One is He Xiangxiu, sister of He Yuyao.From the names of the three people, it can be seen that there is a big difference between the He family's concubine and the concubine's.
