The Rich and Powerful Chang An Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Wang Fei was confined, but there was a reward in Nanxi's place, where Wang Ye had issued that hereafter everything in Nanxi's courtyard should be done according to Wang Fei's standards. In every residence, there was a cordial servant who would flatter the superior and step on the inferior and an opportunistic sort of servant.

Shortly after Xiao Qing Yan sent the serving Yahuan and all kinds of things, Nanxi's Tongxin Garden became lively. It was not only the two of the residence's Cefei, but even Ziyan and Ziyue that had always been treated as transparent, came over.

“Nanxi meimei should come to our courtyard for a walk later. We are all the people who serve Wang Ye, and later we will be sisters.” Qinxin actually despised Nanxi; she was a peasant girl, why should she serve Wang Ye with them? But now Nanxi was on the height of Xiao Qing Yan's enthusiasm, Qinxin had no choice but to come and put on appearance.

The thing that Minyu most dislike to look at was exactly this smooth and slick appearance of Qinxin. Recently, she made less contact with Qinxin, and she also did not want to make people feel that they were in cahoots, so she did not give Qinxin a face– the corners of her mouth raised a smile, yet full of irony.

“These words of An Cefei are really nice. Yesterday you went to Wang Fei's place to ingratiate yourself and now here at Miss Nanxi's, you're showing deep feeling between sisters. Not offending both sides, what a nice person.” About what Qinxin had said yesterday, Minyu naturally understood, but so what? Even if this Nanxi was doted on, she was only an orphan girl without any support, and such things, she had seen much more growing up! Which men were not lecherous? This Nanxi looked like an alluring woman, should probably temporarily held Wang Ye enchanted, but a beautiful woman have a feeling of freshness. When the feeling of freshness passed, Wang Ye naturally would not be so heart-broken for her. So then, could a helpless orphan girl of humble origin pose any threat to her?

But that Xu Chang An is different!

At the thought of the bitterness she had suffered in Xu Chang An's hands, Minyu's teeth ached with hate. On top of that, the thing she was most concerned about was that Xu Chang An still had the legal wife position. It was the thorn in her eyes and flesh, so naturally it was impossible for her to be a bystander.

“Meimei's words are interesting. Wang Fei is being confined, it's our duty to pay a visit as concubines. As for Nanxi meimei here, we are all sisters, and Nanxi meimei is not well, naturally we have to come and see. Hereafter, everyone shall live under the same roof, it is natural that we have to be polite and amiable." If one wishes to do as one pleased, it depends whether or not oneself have an advantage. Now she herself even wanted to see people's look and livelihood, but also dare to laugh at her here!

“Your mouth is as sharp as razor, I could not outdebate you. But what if you have a smooth tongue? Who would still be a fool? Sincere and falsehood can be distinguished by others!” Naturally, the others in Minyu's mouth referred to Nanxi. Their two guests chimed in not in the least modestly decline, but the owner of this Tongxin garden had not said a word.

It was surprising that the two personal maids, Ziyan and Ziyue, who almost became the transparent people of Wang Residence, would come here today.

Looking at these two Cefei on both sides, Nanxi's yatou, Lark was laughing in her heart. What about being a Cefei? It was not about her family's Miss earning a position that even all decorum was disregarded.

Though her Miss had no status yet, but it was a matter of time before her family's Miss gained a status, and by that time these people would no more be in her sight.

“Both Cefei, my Miss's health has not recovered. With you all quarreling about, I'm afraid it will cause a headache for Miss. If both….”

“Audacious! Does the master speak for you servant to interrupt?" Minyu did not even pay attention to Nanxi, let alone the yatou beside Nanxi, that yatou's tone was simply arrogant, who did she think her master was? The master of Wang Residence?!

“Miss Nanxi is at best a guest of Wang Residence. If you really want your Miss to be good, you'd better learn the established rules. Otherwise, it's your fault when you implicate your Miss one day!” Minyu did not come to fawn on Nanxi, in her opinion, although Nanxi should not be offended, it was not enough to be fawn over.

Because of one yatou, she had to save her face, how could Minyu stayed here any longer? She taught the yatou a few words as lesson, then directly got up and left, without giving Nanxi a courtesy of farewell.

Not long after Minyu's departure, Qinxin also left. With Qinxin away, Ziyan and Ziyue naturally also did not have reason to stay.

When the guests left Tongxin Garden, Lark complained.

“Who do they think they are? What about being Cefei? After so long entering the residence, Wang Ye did not even touch one of their fingers. She even dared to take up Cefei's arrogance here! What a cheek!”

“You—this yatou. What they said is not unreasonable. You should be careful with your words hereafter. Don't make things difficult for Wang Ye.” Nanxi meant for Lark to restrain her words in the future, but there was no sense of blame in her tone and when talking about making things difficult for Xiao Qing Yan, she did not seemed to be a bit bothered about it.

When Lark saw her master like this, she definitely understood her master words. In the future, she had to think what and how.

Xu Chang An could not go out, but Chunyu and they could. When they heard about the Yahuan coming, Chunyu was angry that she had not eaten dinner for two days in a row.

“I'm so angry!” Chunyu had not seen that person named Nanxi, naturally she did not know whether there was such an amazing about the things that was circulated in the residence by the yatous. How good was good-looking? Could it be as good-looking as their family's young master? From small until now, her family's young master was the most beautiful person she had ever seen!

“Sigh, what is Wang Ye thinking? He hasn't been here since the 15th day, doesn't even know whether Young Master is sad or not. That's so annoying!” Dongxu's affair, Chunyu had already known. When she listened to Dongxue's explanation, her anger towards Dongxue burst into a flame in an instant. What's the relationship between them? Dongxue did such an important thing that she didn't even discuss it with her! But after the anger passed, it was just heartache when the thought of the vicious words she said to Dongxue came. Chunyu then could not slap herself hard enough.

Chunyu could not really hit herself, she could only make up for it elsewhere. No, now she could just make new shoes for Dongxue.

“Keep your voice down. Don't let the young master hear you.” Today's weather was good. Xu Chang An was reading in his small study. Dongxue and Chunyu were doing needlework in the courtyard outside, so that they could not only guard their young master, but also do some work.

As long as Xu Chang An got a cold in winter, the cough would not be easy to cure. Counted it up, he had been having cold for four or five days, but nothing else was wrong with him, except that he always coughed hard in the morning and occasionally suffered from it.

“Cough… Am I in better health?" Xu Chang An could still feel how his body was. He obviously felt that the cough situation had improved a lot. He also occasionally coughed two or three times a day. In the morning, he had not coughed so hard as before. It seemed that the imperial medicine in the palace was not the same. The prescription they prescribed for him had some positive effect.

“Eh, this scrapped book… This is a good thing. It should be handed over to His Majesty." Xu Chang An did not expect that there would be such books in his bookcase; Disease Control and Treatment after Drought and Flood Epidemic. If the above records were correct, it should be handed over to the Court.

In this world, when the harvest was good, there would be continuous disasters and plagues frequently occur, when the people flee, the Court would suffer heavy losses. In addition to the reduction of grain production caused by drought and flood, the most serious impact was the epidemic caused by drought and flood, resulting in a variety of losses.

“Young Master, drink some water to moisten your throat.” Perhaps she overheard Xu Chang An's cough. Dongxue warmed up a cup of water. After Xu Chang An drank it, his throat was much better.

“Young Master, Chunyu said that in the past two days, Wang Ye has been sleeping in his study, and he has hardly been in the residence in the daytime. It was not that he did not stop by to see you.” Since then, Chunyu and Dongxue had made an agreement, asking Dongxue to hide nothing from her in the future. Of course, Chunyu herself had not known the full details of that day and Dongxue explained whatever she inquired about.

No one knew so clearly about Wang Ye's affairs except Zhu Quan, and most of the news from Zhu Quan's mouth was reliable.

Xu Chang An did not expect these two girls to worry about him and Xiao Qing Yan. When did he ever tell them that he would be sad because of Xiao Qing Yan's coldness?

“You know how to worry all day long. The matter between me and Wang Ye was not unexpected since long ago. Even if it was not because of Nanxi, there would be another woman in a while. What worries me? Isn't our original intention is to live in peace as it is now?"

“Young Master, what's peaceful about this day?” Hey! Dongxue had gone in and did not go out. When Chunyu came in, the words she heard made her feel uncomfortable. Now this day seemed to be a peaceful life for young master. What did young master think about this day with Wang Ye in his heart? Afraid that her young master had no expectations at all.

“You're going to get married. You'd better worry about yourself.” If it about Chunyu, Xu Chang An had already planned it. He was going to find a day to talk to the housekeeper about Chunyu and Zhu Quan. Then tried to make the wedding before the year, as for Dongxue… At this time, there was no such a suitable man ah. This was a lifetime thing, but also for Dongxue herself, she must be willing ah, he could not arbitrarily find a family to marry her off.

A man ah, it was impossible to judge a man's heart from his face, if there was a suitable family, he must also observe and survey, so he did not marry off Dongxue rashly.

“Young Master! You know how to tease me!” Since her young master said so, and Chunyu's heart also bore such thing, it seemed that she and Zhu Quan's things should be able to become true.

“Right! I listen to the meaning of Zhu Quan's words that it seems something happened in the palace, so Wang Ye always ran to the palace these two days. He didn't go to court for a few days because he was injured. Something happened in the palace regularly, and Wang Ye would go there.” Just talking about the matter of Wang Ye, Chunyu almost forgot about it, but now she remembered and she did not feel it was anything important. The people in the palace were not concerned with them, why would they care so much about them?
