Chapter 26 The Princess Invites



Chapter 26 The Princess Invites

"Uncle Zhong, you are familiar with the affairs of Xinpu. Today, I would like to trouble you to take a trip with Zhou Jiadalang to take a look and arrange things for him. You will be responsible for any matters he has in the future."

"Master, please rest assured."

Uncle Zhong is not a servant of the Shen family. His origin is a long story. My father did him a favor when he was handling a case, so Uncle Zhong, who is alone, has been working beside my father.

This time when she married into the palace, in addition to maids and nannies, she also needed guards to look after the house and a steward who could run around outside.

Uncle Zhong is her butler, and he is in charge of all matters concerning the farm and the shop.

Since the person he brought with him was his father's most trusted friend, Shen Zhishu was naturally very relieved.

By handing Zhou Wu over to Uncle Zhong in front of Nanny Wang, he would let her know that I was sincere in hiring Zhou Wu and had a kind heart towards her.

Look, even though Nanny Wang’s face was sore from smiling, she still didn’t stop smiling.

Only after watching her son leave with Uncle Zhong did she return to the inner courtyard.

A small wooden box was brought.

"Master, my daughter knows that you are a good master, so she wants to make something for you. This is her heartfelt gift. If you find it useful, you can keep it as a casual object. If you think it is rough, then I will take the initiative and give it to other maids."

When the small wooden box was opened, a pair of wooden carved rabbits were placed inside. They were lifelike and very lively. If they were painted and held from a distance, they might be mistaken for the real ones.

"It's quite exquisite. Put it on the bookshelf over there."

Shen Zhishu took a look at it and liked it.

"I heard from Madam that your daughter's name is Zhou Qing?"

Seeing her master being so gentle, Nanny Wang smiled and nodded quickly.

"I didn't expect a girl to have such a skill. If she does some carpentry to make money, it would be a good livelihood."

She gave the rabbit to him out of gratitude, but she probably had other thoughts in mind.

Shen Zhishu praised and led the conversation.

"It's nothing good, it's just a little toy for sitting and playing. She had to take care of her father at home since she was young. Her brother was afraid that she would be bored, so he made some wood for her to pass the time. Who would have thought that from then on, all the tables, chairs and benches in the house were made by her..."

Nanny Wang started talking and chattering nonstop. It was obvious that she was very proud when she talked about her daughter.

It was because their family was harmonious and supportive of each other, and Nanny Wang was very kind to her daughter, that Shen Zhishu chose to start with her and train her to become his own person.

Listening to her constant praise, Shen Zhishu walked to the desk, picked up a pen and started drawing a picture. It was a simple farmyard with chickens, ducks, geese, flowers and plants. In the middle, a peasant couple was lying on a rocking chair and chatting.

"Miss Qing, please take a look at this picture and see if it can be carved."

Shen Zhishu also specially marked the size of the yard in the corner of the painting.

If she could make such an exquisite ornament, her skills would be considered really good.

Nanny Wang readily accepted it, thinking that the master liked it.

She is a kind person, and this little ornament can bring a smile to someone's face, which is great.

"Master, has the prince come today?"

But in the end, she still cared about whether her master was favored.

"No."

When Nanny Wang heard this, her smile disappeared immediately. Just as she was about to go out and find out, she remembered what her master had told her yesterday, and she had to give up the idea.

"Master, don't worry too much. With your talent, appearance, and good character, the prince will definitely like you very much. There is a long way to go."

She was still relieved.

"Ah."

Shen Zhishu's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled indifferently.

Just as Nanny Wang was about to say something else, someone outside reported that someone from the princess's entourage had arrived.

Suddenly, her alarm bells rang and her pupils trembled.

It’s over, it’s over. It’s bad enough that the prince didn’t come, but why did the princess come first?

Could it be that the prince has tacitly agreed to the princess's decision to drive her away?

The frightened Nanny Wang was now extremely worried.

Even though Qianyu, the maidservant beside Su Rong, came and went, her mind was still blank and her eyes were dull.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect that the princess would be so impatient to come to her so soon.

But I thought that with her personality, she would rush over directly.

After all, the princess herself doesn't care much about any rules.

"Master, are you really going? Going right now?"

Qianyu came to tell Shen Zhishu to go to Jingyiyuan.

Bi Tao subconsciously thought, maybe he is going to kill him?

"If the princess summons me, I will go."

Shen Zhishu stood up and walked into the inner room.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I need to change my clothes..."

"Then I will re-dress you and dress you up nicely. Also... since this is your first time meeting the princess, shouldn't I prepare some generous gifts? Gold leaves won't do. Should I give you gold?"

Bitao panicked and ran around aimlessly following Shen Zhishu.

After Nanny Wang realized what was happening, she quickly called two other familiar maids to discuss countermeasures.

When Shen Zhishu saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh as if the world was in chaos.

She also had to thank the princess. With such a "great" reputation, there were probably few maids in the entire palace who were not afraid of her. This was a good thing for her, as she was at a disadvantage when she first entered the palace.

In the end, of course, it passed very simply.

Su Rong had been waiting in the palace for a long time. She had dressed up carefully and even put on makeup to pretend she was bare-faced. She wore a white dress and only tied up her long hair with a jade hairpin. She looked fresh and simple, as if she had not dressed up at all, but she had been busy all morning.

After all, I have heard that Shen Zhishu, the daughter of the Shen family, is a rare beauty in Kyoto. Since she is a bright and beautiful woman, she must be glamorous and beautiful.

But the beauties in ancient times were just like that, wearing heavy makeup to show how exquisite they were, but their makeup skills were very poor.

Today, she was absolutely confident that she could make Shen Zhishu unable to hold her head up, and let her know that she and she were not from the same world and there was no point in fighting.

But when she saw Shen Zhishu, she was shocked.

Why is it her?

She remembered that beautiful face clearly even though she had only seen it once.

Could the rare beauty I saw in the Zhao family’s backyard that day be Shen Zhishu?

Su Rong felt confused.

Shen Zhishu changed into a pink dress, but the color was too light and she looked very vulgar. And her face also showed that she had put on careful makeup, except that her eyebrows were overly drawn and her lips were extremely red.

Compared to what I saw that day, she looked half as pretty as she had been today because of her overdone dressing up.

But that face is too outstanding and has a good foundation.

"I, Shen, greet the princess."

Shen Zhishu entered the yard and saw Su Rong sitting in the yard. She could tell at a glance that even a single strand of Su Rong's hair had been carefully dressed up.

Today, she exudes a kind of cool and heroic beauty.

As expected, all women care a lot about their appearance. After seeing Su Rong's outfit, Shen Zhishu knew that she had done nothing wrong in dressing up carefully.
