Chapter 145 She Must Have a Plan
Chapter 145 She Must Have a Plan
The weather has become cool and pleasant, making it more comfortable to take a nap.
Luo Li hadn't had enough of her beautiful nap yet, and Concubine Zheng couldn't wait to send her maid Ling'er to ask her to go to Ning Xinyuan to play cards and get close to the princess.
Ruhua looked at the excited Yingchun and Banxia, and agreed without asking the young lady who was sleeping soundly.
Concubine Zheng brought enough silver bills and happily completed her task. Being able to trick the silly princess into going around in circles was not only a perfect completion of her task, but also an achievement that she was proud of!
Ruhua came out to welcome her to the main room, pointed to the mahjong table that had been prepared behind her, and lowered her voice.
"Ms. Zheng, my lady is still asleep.
Before going to bed, the lady specifically told us that if Miss Zheng came, we should play cards with you first, and not neglect you!"
Lady Zheng felt so happy that she felt like she had eaten a bowl of honey!
The Silly Princess valued her so much, so the task of getting close to the Silly Princess was already achieved with great ease.
He immediately covered his lips with his hands and smiled, and also lowered his voice with great tact.
"Okay! Then let's play cards for a while and wait for the princess to wake up!"
Yingchun and Banxia, who had been sharpening their knives for a long time, and Wanqiu, the three maids, sat at the card table with Zheng Meiren with joy and excitement. The pleasure of slaughtering a fat sheep with one's own hands was joyful, and dividing the silver was even more exciting.
Concubine Zheng glanced at the three excited maids with a proud look and said, "If it wasn't for the purpose of getting close to and pleasing the silly princess, would you, with your lowly status as servants, be worthy of playing cards with me?"
With the previous experience of Lin Xian'er being cheated, Ruhua sent Ling'er, the maid brought by Zheng Feiyang, to the door of the house, and waited outside with Yingxue who was standing there, so as to avoid being discovered by the people around Feiyang when the knives were scratching their heads and using secret signals.
When Luo Li woke up naturally, before she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of shuffling cards in the outer room.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ruhua and Siyu serving him. He stretched lazily, yawned, and asked quietly, "Stupid Zheng is here again?"
Ruhua laughed and nodded.
Among the few little fat sheep, the beautiful lady Zheng was honored to be treated differently by the young lady, and the fat sheep was promoted to a stupid pig.
Luo Li suddenly became energetic!
She blinked mischievously and said, "This princess will personally serve Zheng the stupid pig, and make her feel happy and stretch her neck to be slaughtered by you guys!"
Ruhua and Siyu happily covered their mouths, afraid that their laughter would be heard by Zheng Chunzhu.
Luo Li got out of bed, drank a few sips of the fragrant tea handed to her by Siyu, woke up, and got up and walked to the outer room.
"Ms. Zheng, why are you here so early today? You must have a great time today. No one is allowed to complain of being tired and want to end the game after playing eight rounds of cards!" Luo Li's voice was full of kindness.
Lady Zheng hurriedly stood up and saluted!
Luo Li walked over quickly and held her down, "No need to be polite! This princess hates being disturbed when playing cards. In my Ning Xin Garden, whoever sits at the card table and plays cards is the boss!"
Lady Zheng smiled sweetly, sat down firmly and said thank you. Being the boss of Ning Xinyuan was something she had always dreamed of and she dreamed of it day and night!
Luo Li sat on the stool that Siyu had brought for her, and watched Zheng Meiren play cards with a smile on her face, giving her some pointers on her card skills from time to time.
Seeing Ruhua coming over with tea on a tray, Luo Li diligently picked up a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Concubine Zheng personally.
"Ms. Zheng, are you thirsty? Have a cup of fragrant tea to refresh yourself!"
Lady Zheng was so flattered that she quickly threw away the card in her hand and took it with both hands respectfully!
The smile on her face blooms like a flower in the spring breeze, so beautiful and charming!
"Thank you, Princess, for the tea!"
Luo Li looked at her pretty face and praised her: "Lady Zheng, your smile is so beautiful that it can overwhelm the whole city! You are almost catching up with my princess, whose smile can overwhelm the whole country."
Concubine Zheng smiled even more beautifully, and said modestly, "Princess, you are too kind! How can a humble servant like me compare to your peerless beauty?"
Luo Li smiled triumphantly and urged, "Everyone in the capital knows that my princess is so beautiful that she can overwhelm the whole city. Stop praising me. Hurry up and concentrate on playing cards!"
Zheng Meiren laughed sweetly! Then she turned back to playing cards. Being served by the extremely noble Princess Qin, it seemed that she was not depressed if she didn't win after three rounds of cards.
Luo Li asked with her eyes?
Yingchun made a gesture and answered!
[Hmm! Not bad! In this short time, Lady Zheng has lost more than two thousand taels of silver.]
Luo Li instructed Siyu behind her, "Siyu, ask Tingting to squeeze a few glasses of orange juice and get some popcorn. Let them eat and drink while playing cards and enjoying the delicious food."
Siyu agreed and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, Siyu and Tingting came over each carrying a tray.
Siyu considerately gave Yingxue and Ling'er who were standing at the door a glass of juice each, and also gave them two handfuls of popcorn as snacks.
Ling'er took it while thanking him, exchanged a smile with Yingxue opposite her, and then tasted it with relish.
So delicious!
The masters and servants in Ning Xin Garden have no rules and do not understand respect and etiquette, but the food they prepare is extremely delicious!
Concubine Zheng took the fresh juice handed to her by the princess, and her heart was filled with joy!
With the extremely noble status of the Princess of Qin, she serves me as a maid. If I tell others about this honor, the three people in the backyard will be envious to death!
Luo Li ate popcorn and drank fresh juice while looking at the cards and chatting with Zheng Meiren, distracting herself from the frustration and anxiety she felt after losing so much money.
Luo Li was really worrying too much today! Lady Zheng lost five thousand taels of silver, but she was still chatting and laughing without changing her expression.
There was none of the anxiety and annoyance he felt when he lost money in the backyard last time.
After playing eight rounds of cards, Concubine Zheng actually lost more than 6,700 taels of silver.
Lady Zheng was still smiling and graceful, and she took out another silver note from her sleeve.
"I will pay back the 1,200 taels of silver I owed yesterday."
Luo Li took the banknote and said to Ruhua, "Ruhua, Lady Zheng and I get along very well. Go get her a bottle of perfume and a bottle of shampoo and give them to her."
Lady Zheng knelt down in surprise!
"Thank you for your generous reward, Princess! I have been envious of the two treasures you sell, but I can't buy them even if I want to spend money!"
Luo Li said generously, "Our friendship is getting deeper and deeper. If you want to buy perfume, shampoo and other items in the future, just ask Ruhua or Yingchun. They will help you get the goods from my private warehouse."
Lady Zheng was a little disappointed. Do I have to spend money to buy perfume and shampoo in the future?
But when she thought about the extremely expensive price of 18 taels of gold for a bottle of perfume, she felt relieved because no matter how stupid the princess was, she would not give it to others casually.
At least, today the silly princess generously gave me two bottles, so I can easily buy goods in the future. In the future, in front of the three beauties in the backyard, my status as Zheng Meiren will be much higher.
Lady Zheng happily took the two bottles of treasure handed to her by Ruhua. After expressing her gratitude profusely, she said goodbye and left with satisfaction!
Seeing Concubine Zheng and her servant walk out of the gate of Ningxinyuan, the maids in the room immediately cheered excitedly and started dividing the money around the card table!
Luo Li sat there with her eyes narrowed!
I was secretly thinking about Concubine Zheng's unusual behavior. What was her plan?
[Last time, Miss Zheng, who was so distressed about losing over 1,800 taels of silver, is willing to spend so much money and was close to making friends with me. She must be plotting something bad and wants to plot against me! ]
Lady Zheng happily held two bottles of perfume and shampoo and walked out of Ningxin Garden with her maid Ling'er.
Ling'er reminded her coldly, "Lady Zheng, His Royal Highness Prince Chen sent someone to deliver 20,000 taels of silver notes, and you threw away 8,000 taels in these two hours.
You better be careful, the money in Prince Chen's Mansion didn't come from the wind, don't throw it into the water and not hear any sound! "
The beautiful lady Zheng, who was filled with joy, was frightened!
"Miss Ling'er, I...I didn't lose so much money on purpose, but those maids' card skills and luck were just too good!
Apart from playing cards, what other excuses do we have to come to Ning Xin Garden to get close to the silly princess? If you have other good ideas, I can try them out!"
Ling'er didn't have any other good ideas. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's use this method first! Try to be smart when playing cards and lose less money!"
After the maids excitedly divided the silver, they all hoped that Zheng the Stupid Pig would come back tomorrow to be slaughtered.
Seeing the young lady sitting there in deep thought, Ruhua asked in confusion, "Miss, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about finding another fat pig for us?"
Luo Li looked up at Ruhua and said, "Ruhua, this beautiful lady Zheng is acting strangely. She must be up to something. You guys should be more vigilant and pay close attention!"
Ruhua was immediately frightened and said, "Miss, we will be more vigilant! Otherwise, we won't kill this fat pig and won't let her come to Ningxin Garden again."
Luo Li shook her head, "Don't be afraid!
Even if she had some evil intentions, her status would not cause much trouble in the Qin Palace. You need to have more contact with the enemy to know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle. I will remind you that it is enough to let you know what is going on!
My top disciple Wu Chizi and Xiao Jintai are leaving, and I will go to see them off tomorrow.
If Lady Zheng wants to come to Ningxinyuan to play cards again, you can welcome her. When she tries to get information, you should be alert and keep your mouth shut. Sharpen your knives, because this stupid pig will be slaughtered less and less! "
Ruhua understood what the lady meant and replied with a smile, "Got it! Miss, when you are not here, we have to find a way to drag Zheng the stupid pig to the card table, and we have to be on guard against her and kill her hard!"
