Chapter 20 Unjust
In the afternoon, the queen's reward came.
Twenty-four pieces of the popular diamond-patterned Qisuluo cloth, three sets of precious jewelry, a box of Eastern beads, a box of jade pendants, a box of pearl flowers, two thousand taels of silver, together with the land deeds and county records transferred by the emperor. The Lord’s special seal was sent along with it.
Zeng gave all these things to Xia Zihan to put away.
Xia Zihan looked at the table full of valuables, pointed to the box of pearl flowers, and said to Grandma Deng, the manager in her yard, "Except for this box of pearl flowers, put all the other things in the inventory and put them in the warehouse."
Nanny Deng responded, found the booklet, and together with Nuan Yu, one registered and the other checked things.
Nuan Xia, who rarely went out to be lazy, was also there. She looked at the jewelry on the table, and her eyes sparkled, especially the box of silver, which dazzled her eyes. She wanted to rush forward and kiss it twice.
She smiled brightly and cuddled up to Xia Zihan in a flattering manner, "Girl, oh, no, the slave girl should change her title now. County Lord, will your future status be more noble than that of the legitimate daughter of an ordinary wealthy family?" ?”
Nuan Xiang smiled and said, "Of course, the county master is of high rank. Those legitimate daughters will have to salute when they see the county master in the future."
All of a sudden, the maids and wives around Xia Zihan all changed their names.
Nuanyu put the calculated Dongzhu aside and said to Nanny Deng, "Big Dongzhu, ten." Then she took the time to ask Xia Zihan, "County Lord, do you want to send someone to the house to take a look first? ”
Before Xia Zihan could speak, a gleam flashed in Nuan Xia's eyes, and she volunteered, "The county master, please send me. I will definitely inspect the inside and outside of the house."
The house rewarded by the emperor will definitely not be an empty house, maybe there will be some good things in it.
While everyone around the county leader was too busy to leave, she went over alone to see if she could get any benefits.
Without even looking at her, Xia Zihan pointed at the Yu family's house and said, "Nanny and Nuan Xiang should go over and take a look this afternoon."
Nuan Xia's smile suddenly froze, and her eyes were full of disappointment. Xia Zihan seemed not to notice and ordered her, "Nuan Xia, go get some hot water and come in. I'll wash my face and then go to the hall."
"I know." Nuan Xia's face was long and listless.
Humph, I don't tell her to do good things, but I tell her to do hard work.
She went out upset.
As soon as she left, Nuan Xiang, who had always been displeased with her, said angrily, "What kind of expression does she have? The county master didn't let her go, but she dared to show her face to the county master. I see, it's the county master who usually treats her..." She is so good that she doesn’t even know who she is anymore.”
A slave dares to look down on his master. He really doesn't know how to live or die, and he doesn't know how high the sky is.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "How can I spoil her? I treat the three of you equally."
Nuan Xiang smiled bitterly, "It was Nuan Yu and I who spoiled her." He added, "Next time, I will never help her again."
"You are more careful than she is in doing things. I'll reward you with this." Xia Zihan picked a lavender rose flower and a small yellow daisy from the box and gave them to Nuan Xiang.
Nuan Xiang hurriedly took it, holding two beaded flowers, smiling happily, "Thank you, Lord County, for the reward."
Xia Zihan picked another one and gave it to Nanny Deng, one to the Yu family, and one to Nuanyu.
He also called in two second-class maids, Silk Grass and Vanilla, and gave each of them a camellia.
