The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 381
It was the first time for Xiaoya to serve her mother-in-law. She was a little nervous, but she also took care of her grandmother at home. Ya was indeed full.

She felt that Huilan was deliberately prolonging the meal time so that she would not be hungry, and she felt warm in her heart. The mother-in-law is very nice, but she doesn't like to say it.

"What do you usually do at home?"

After eating, Huilan sat down to drink a cup of tea for a rest.

"I used to know how to read, but before the draft, I didn't need to study. I started to learn to be a housekeeper. After the draft, I don't need a housekeeper anymore. Most of the time I use it to read, paint and play. I don't restrict myself at home. I can do whatever I want."

Xiaoya took a cup of spiritual tea and sipped it carefully. It tasted very good, and it was very comfortable to drink the fragrance in her mouth and warm her stomach.

"Do you like drawing very much? I quite like the picture of plum blossoms you painted. It is very strong and artistic."

Huilan also wanted to talk more with her daughter-in-law, to learn more about each other's personality and life.

Xiaoya smiled shyly, "I like painting very much. When I was in my hometown, I always liked to go out and paint. I painted wild flowers in the wild and clouds and mists in the mountains. But my father said that I couldn't paint well. No If you remove the craftsmanship, there are still many traces, and I don’t understand if you are too rigid if you can’t let it go.”

She tilted her head in confusion, then smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I have limited talent, anyway, I'm just a hobby."

Huilan looked at her and smiled affectionately, "You are still young, but you are actually very talented. If you are willing to draw with me, I spend most of my time playing. No matter where you live, you must have a Hobbies, don't work too hard."

The little girl straightened her eyes and said, "Really, then can I come to you often to learn how to paint? I really like your paintings. I think your landscape paintings are especially good, better than flowers, plants, fish and insects. I love you the most. The landscape paintings are vast and free."

When talking about her hobbies, she is eloquent and her vision is extremely precise. She has a lot in her stomach.

Huilan was also very happy, and her smile was a little more sincere, "They all said that my landscape paintings are slightly better. If you like them, there are many early paintings. You can pick them out, and they will be moldy if they are left in vain. If you meet someone you like confidant, that is the happy thing.”

"Thank you, Empress, I must choose two. Last time, Your Highness gave me a pair of your paintings, and I haven't even looked at them."

Xiaoya really likes to draw and paint, but unfortunately the family is strictly controlled to prevent her from indulging in it.

"Choose whatever you like, let Lilac find it for you, there's a whole cabinet, take whatever you want."

Huilan doesn't really care, it's because they like not to be touched by others, in fact, she can finish the painting by herself.

"I have some things for you to take back and have a look. Don't be in a hurry. The deadline is one month. You need to familiarize yourself with the things. You can take them back and look at them. The hardest time is when you are newly married. You get up early today and go back earlier. In the afternoon, Brother Gan will come back from court, I have nothing to do, you can go and do your work, go back and rest, our mother and I still have a lot of time."

Xiaoya stood up gratefully and saluted, "Yes, I will follow my mother's orders, and I will come back tomorrow."

He took the things in Ding Xiang's hand and went back.

Huilan saw that Xiaoya was a little tired. She was newly married, and since she woke up early, she would let her go back earlier. After eating with her, no one would say that her mother-in-law didn't like her, so there was no need to bother her daughter-in-law with her all day.

Xiaoya went back with her things, and the servant girl asked on the way, "Girl... I am the princess, is it easy to get along with the empress? I'm back so soon, but is there something wrong?"

Xiaoya smiled and shook her head, "No, the queen mother is very kind and takes good care of me, and even let me accompany me for dinner. The queen mother was afraid that I would be tired, so she let me come back earlier. The queen mother is very good. "

She felt Huilan's sincerity and sincerity, and the uneasiness and uneasiness in her heart were much less. If her mother-in-law didn't make things difficult, her life would be much easier.

"That's good. I've heard that the empress is charitable and never embarrassing others. Now that I've seen her, she really is."

"Well, let's go, let's go back and wait for my husband."

"it is good."

What Huilan gave were two paintings, and the other was a list, a list of all the servants of Changle Palace, including the monthly salary provided by the treasurer for Changle Palace, and a list of related personnel.

This thing seems simple, but it can figure out most of the information about Changle Palace and the treasury. Basically, if you understand these, you can figure out half of the palace affairs.

Huilan's intention is to investigate, and at the same time lower the requirements, as long as you can clarify and straighten out the servants of Changle Palace, you can take your time with the treasurer.

When Brother Gan came back, Xiaoya wore a thin padded jacket with long slacks and wide barrels that was probably new. The homely clothes were very comfortable. She sat there and looked at the list.

"Big brother, you're back. Let's have a cup of hot tea. I made some scented tea and it was given to me by the queen mother. Don't drink tea now, lest you get sleepy at night."

"Okay, um, the craftsmanship is good, fragrant!"

Brother Gan took a sip of scented tea, it was warm without burning his mouth, it was just right, his mouth was filled with a rich fragrance of flowers, the skill of making tea was excellent, and the exhaustion all over his body was relieved a bit.

"Aren't you tired? I'm going to have a hotpot today, and I have grilled lamb chops. I think it's a bit cold today, and there's still a little frost, so I want a hotpot.

I went to pay my respects to my mother, but I went early and saw my father, so I nodded and left without giving me a word.

The queen mother let me accompany me to eat, the mother treats me very well, I am afraid that I will be nervous when I go back to Kunning Palace, and I will not be full, the meal time is a bit long, and I will put down the chopsticks when I am full, hee hee!
By the way, the queen mother also gave me a list of servants in Changle Palace. I am still looking at it. I plan to sort it out. Although this list is short and simple, I think that if you think about it, you can see how much money the treasurer earns every year, how much it spends, etc. Wait.

Brother Gan, if I tell my mother what I have figured out, will I talk too much?I think my mother wants me to take down the Changle Palace as soon as possible, fix the fence in my own place, and then go to learn about the treasurer. This is not urgent, I'm afraid I've misunderstood the intention, please help me think about it. "

Xiaoya spoke slowly, her voice was gentle and clear, her little hands pinched the sore neck muscles for him, chatting to the point that Brother Gan quickly relaxed and his mood improved.

"It's okay, just tell the queen what you think of, and you won't be afraid of blaming you if you say something wrong. Don't worry about whether you are serious or not. The queen knows in her heart that she doesn't like people who pretend to understand, but hide their clumsiness when they understand. Do you have any questions?" Just ask boldly, after all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to get along for a lifetime, and it is always good to have a good start.

Father hopes that you can take over the palace duties as soon as possible. He wants to take his mother to the farm to recuperate. If you and I can't stand alone, they can't get away. My mother's health has not been as strong as before in the past two years. My father is anxious , but could not leave.If you don't understand anything, just ask directly, the queen mother likes straightforward girls. "

Brother Gan also helped Xiaoya with ideas.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, then I'll study it for a few more days, and I'll ask my godmother after I figure it out."

Xiaoya likes to speak with confidence when doing things.
