Pan Xi was delighted when she heard this, but then she felt disappointed again when she thought about how difficult it would be to get rid of her citizenship. "It's easy for you to say, sister. The young lady is very thoughtful. Not to mention that we can't guess it. Even if we guess it, how can it be done easily?"
"……Too."
When the two of them thought of this, they both stopped talking and sighed.
"Let's see tomorrow. If the Fourth Young Master comes to the banquet, even if the eldest lady chases us two out, I will find a chance to eavesdrop on him. If the man is really interested in her, it won't be too late for us to make long-term plans."
Only Pan Lan can say such boldness.
Panxi lowered her head and said, "Don't listen to these things. I've already heard most of them. The other day, when Qin Er pressed you about it, you agreed. You said you regretted not having the good fortune. If the General and the Duke's Mansion hadn't had that past lawsuit, you would have wanted to stay by the Fourth Young Master's side long ago."
At this point, she looked up at Pan Lan, "What's the use of knowing? Even the eldest lady can't do anything... Besides, the Queen Mother has promised her marriage with Prince Yong. You and I are just slaves. If something goes wrong, Suo Hong's today will be our tomorrow."
Pan Lan's expression froze, and she looked at Pan Xi, "Now the eldest lady is not satisfied with the marriage with Prince Yong..."
"So what if she's dissatisfied? What can she do about something that everyone in the Jin family agrees on?"
Pan Xi suppressed Pan Lan's thoughts and said, "Serve her well. The young lady will definitely become the princess of a county. When that day comes, the fourth young master's wife will have to bow down in front of her and greet her obediently."
Soon, the maidservants came shouting all over the yard. Panxi and Panlan responded, and the maidservants ran over and said, "The eldest lady is looking for the two sisters."
Erpan and the others looked at each other, lowered their brows, and followed the maid to Jin Fuyun's room.
"I remember you two mentioned that your embroidery work was good. Is that true?" Jin Fuyun's mood calmed down, and she was as dignified and elegant as usual.
Pan Xi quickly knelt down and replied, "My tailoring is just passable, but my embroidery is not as detailed as Pan Lan's."
Pan Lan also responded, "Pan Xilai was responsible for cutting and sewing the clothes, shoes and socks. I just embroidered some patterns."
After listening to this, Jin Fuyun pondered for a moment.
She rolled up her wide-sleeved gauze shirt and pointed at the cuffs with gold edges. "Does Panlan know how to do this kind of double-sided embroidery?"
Pan Lan boldly came forward, took a closer look, and replied, "I think I can do it, but not so delicately. A larger pattern should be useful."
"it is good."
Jin Fuyun thought, "I will draw the pattern myself later. From tomorrow on, you two sisters should concentrate on this work and embroider a screen for me."
"Excuse me, young lady, how big do you want?"
"It's not too big, just one foot square." She thought about it carefully. Xiao Yinxiu's birthday should be in July. If she sent a thoughtful gift to celebrate Fangchen at that time, there might be some way out.
On the fifth day of June, Jin Fuyun had breakfast, dressed up, and went to the Manyue Tower.
Zhu Baoyue had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning. She saw her helping the maids out of the car, and then bringing the maids and old women down the steps, and coming forward to greet them.
Jin Fuyun was the same as always and did not despise her background.
Holding her arm, Zhu Baoyue was afraid of causing trouble for Jin Fuyun, so she said, "Young lady, you are willing to help me, and I am grateful to you. But the world is like this, please don't turn around and embarrass you."
She took the initiative to walk behind, not daring to cross the line.
Jin Fuyun sighed slightly, "Baoyue and I are becoming more and more distant."
Zhu Baoyue raised her eyes quickly and said, "Miss, I am not such a bad person. Miss, you don't mind me being covered in mud. I know my own limitations and I can't splash you with mud."
After much persuasion, Jin Fuyun was finally lured in.
"There are many people outside, and you are a clear-headed girl. Don't let those scoundrels take advantage of you and tarnish your reputation."
The maid brought some new tea, and Jin Fuyun only took a sip.
"Jiangzhou's spring tea?"
Zhu Baoyue smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Miss. Jiangzhou has had a lot of rain this year, so the amount of spring tea is not big, so it is quite precious. I was also rewarded by someone, and I would not be willing to serve it to ordinary guests. Miss, please don't despise me since you are a distinguished guest."
"What are you talking about? This shouldn't be one of the common types of Jiangzhou spring tea on the market. I'm afraid it's a private product. I appreciate your generosity. I like it very much."
After saying that, he took a few more bites.
The two of them talked about the past few days, and Jin Fuyun asked casually, "The young lady of the Ji Zhang family hasn't made things difficult for you, right?"
When mentioning Song Guanzhou, Zhu Baoyue pretended to be helpless.
"No, it's because of the great kindness of the young lady who saved Qin Tong. After I borrowed the eldest lady's connection to go to the mansion to thank her, I never saw the young lady again. I guess the young lady doesn't take me seriously, so I didn't have any more troubles."
"Perhaps Ji Zhang didn't dare to come to you alone, so she thought about coming and going and gave up."
"I just do business with the unfaithful people in the world. I don't care about the Fourth Young Master." Zhu Baoyue responded calmly, without the shy look on her face when she mentioned Pei An in the past.
Jin Fuyun thought to herself, how brave is this prostitute?
What's more, Song Guanzhou didn't save Zhu Baoyue's relatives, so why was he so devoted to him?
"It's a strange story. Although she has a fierce temper, she has a cousin who looks like a real sister to her. She has a gentle and quiet personality. Have you ever seen her?"
When Zhu Baoyue heard this, she shuddered.
Qin Tong and Xiao Hu reported to the fourth young lady what they had seen and learned in Qingmei Garden. The fourth young lady privately redeemed Wang Jia Jizi's sister and took Xiao Hu and his family of three with her, changing their status to good people and leaving the capital.
He also sent someone to remind her carefully that she should keep everything in her heart and not tell anyone.
If someone came to ask, she might just be trying to pry into her, so she would just say she didn't know.
It had been more than two months since the incident and no one had asked about it. Who would have thought that Jin Fuyun would be the first to mention it? She pretended to be calm and deliberately showed curiosity.
"The Fourth Young Master's wife is quite good-looking. If she had a cousin who looked like her, she would also be as pretty as an angel."
"Miss Baoyue doesn't know?"
Zhu Baoyue shook her head, her face full of sincerity, "I am of humble status. Although the Fourth Young Master was invited by Master Qin to my Manyue Pavilion a few times later, he never spoke to me alone. How could I have had the opportunity to meet you, Miss Zhu..."
The look of desolation and desolation was all over his face, which was like a full moon.
She lowered her head slightly, with a bit of self-pity, so Jin Fuyun could not bring it up anymore, and turned to ask about other things. After talking for a while, Zhu Baoyue personally lit the tea stove, poured tea for Jin Fuyun, and then leaned close to Jin Fuyun and asked in a low voice with a smile:
"Big girl, is there something good coming?"
Jin Fuyun's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm, "What kind of good news?"
Zhu Baoyue sat in front of the zither table, raised her bare hands, plucked the strings, and a clear sound of music came out, "Yesterday, several gentlemen came to my house for a drink and mentioned that Prince Yong will come to the Princess's mansion to propose marriage soon--"
