Chapter 227 Make Face for Her
By the time she finished, Su Cheng'an's eyes were already shining, and he suddenly sat up: "Is what Ah Jin said true?"
Jin Chu nodded, "Of course it is real, but I only saw it in an unofficial historical record a few years ago and have never seen the real thing. You still need to confirm its authenticity."
She had no idea whether the most primitive family planning products had been discovered in that era, so she could only make up stories based on what she had read in books.
Su Cheng'an has always trusted Jin Chu, and her words gave him great hope. The young man swept away his previous dejection and became energetic again.
"Since Ah Jin said so, I will go to the old doctor tomorrow to ask him. If there is a method like the one you mentioned—"
He turned to the girl in front of him, showing a sly smile, and said with a hint of meaning in every word: "Then I don't have to abide by this one-year deadline anymore, and I can enjoy the warmth of the candlelight tent and the deep sleep with Ah Jin to my heart's content!"
"Su Cheng'an!" Jin Chu scolded him shamefully and glared at him fiercely.
"Okay, okay, I won't say nonsense anymore. Ah Jin, please go to rest!" Su Cheng'an coaxed Jin Chu gently, and the young couple reconciled again.
After all this commotion, most of the sleepiness was gone. Jin Chu simply told Su Cheng'an in detail about the news of purchasing a house for his brothers and hiring maids and a housekeeper for Shaoguang Courtyard. Naturally, he got the full consent of the prince.
After breakfast the next day, before Su Cheng'an left, Mother Wang and Yu Ying and Yu Ning came to pay their respects to the master and mistress.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they saw a man and woman sitting on the left and right in the hall, whispering something. The Crown Prince's wife had a smile on her face. The Crown Prince, who had always been indifferent and reserved, also curled up his lips and looked at the Crown Prince's wife gently with his eyes. There was sweetness and tenderness between the young couple.
Seeing the three people come in, the prince put away his smile and turned around. He just glanced at the three people lightly, then picked up the tea beside him and sipped it gently, as if letting the mistress speak.
After the three of them exchanged greetings politely, Jinchu smiled and asked Mother Wang, "Mother Wang, did you sleep well yesterday?"
"Thanks to the blessing of the Crown Princess, I was given a bright and spacious room with a high bed and soft pillows. I slept very well last night."
Mother Wang speaks gently and smiles sincerely, giving people a very kind impression.
Jin Chu turned to the two girls, Yu Ying and Yu Ning, and asked, "How are you two?"
"Thank you for your concern, Princess! The room that Sisters Yucheng and Yuxing arranged for me is also very good."
Jin Chu nodded slightly and gave them the usual instructions: "If there is anything missing or unsatisfactory, please tell Yu Cheng or Yu Xing. After all, you will be living here permanently, and your own comfort is important."
The three nodded in thanks again
Jin Chu then got to the point. She lined up the four maids and assigned them tasks.
As maids who came with the Crown Prince's wife as a dowry, Yucheng and Yuxing naturally had a deep affection for Jinchu. The two of them were mainly responsible for Jinchu's food, daily life, jewelry, and money management.
Yuying and Yuning are relatively more familiar with the situation in the mansion because they are born in the family. They are responsible for the external information transmission and interpersonal relationships of Shaoguangyuan, and also supervise the cleaning of the courtyard.
Mother Wang acts as an older advisor, advising and guiding the Crown Princess in her daily routines. At work, she assists Jin Chu in handling some more important matters, as well as disciplining several maids and responding to emergencies in the courtyard.
Of course, the four maids also have to communicate with Changshun Chang'an, the servant of the prince's outer courtyard, to exchange information and communicate between the master and the mistress.
Since the three of them had just arrived here, they spent the first three days following Yu Cheng and Yu Xing to learn about the masters' likes and dislikes, and to familiarize themselves with the environment of Shaoguangyuan.
After Jin Chu finished speaking, he turned to Su Cheng'an, who was sipping tea slowly with his eyes lowered, and asked, "Does the prince have any other instructions?"
Su Cheng'an then put down his teacup and spoke to the others, "Since the Crown Prince's Consort has chosen you, then this is your destiny with Shaoguang Court. She has already made it very clear to you, so I will not elaborate further. I only have two requests."
The young man extended a slender finger and said, "First, be clear-headed and cautious. No information can be passed in or out without the master's permission. Second, there are only two masters in this courtyard, and the female master comes first!"
Jin Chu turned around and looked at Su Cheng'an, her eyes full of surprise: He actually gave her this kind of face?
Su Cheng'an smiled back at Jinchu, then turned to the few people below who also looked stunned and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Madam Wang and the four maids nodded quickly and replied respectfully, "My Lord, I heard it."
In public, he actually used his status as the Crown Prince as a stepping stone to support his Crown Princess. How much does he care about the Crown Princess!
Although she appeared respectful and docile on the surface, Mother Wang's heart was in turmoil. She had known for a long time that the Crown Prince's wife was very much loved and doted on, but she had never imagined that he loved her to this extent.
Yuying and Yuning also secretly warned themselves that although the Crown Prince's wife was kind, they still had to serve her carefully in the future.
Yucheng and Yuxing were extremely happy. The prince was willing to do this to help them. In the future, they would be able to stand up straight in the Dingbei Palace.
After the male and female masters had finished their lectures, Jin Chu waved his hand and asked them to leave.
When there were only two people left in the room, Su Cheng'an stood up and said to Jin Chu, "I'm going to go out for a while. If I can come back in time, I'll have lunch with you. If not, you don't have to wait for me."
Jin Chu nodded and asked him curiously, "Slow down, why are you so anxious?"
Su Chengan, who had already reached the door, turned to Jin Chu and smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when I come back."
"You're just trying to be mysterious!" Jin Chu chuckled and let him go.
Thinking that he had to go out with the two managers of the outer courtyard in the afternoon to pay the remaining silver for the two houses yesterday to the owners of the houses in person and obtain the deeds to the houses, Jin Chu directly opened the small box he had kept.
It was filled with large-denomination silver bills. Jin Chu counted and took out a part of it. After doing this, she took Yucheng and Yuxing with her and came to Mancuixuan next door as if she was familiar with the place.
This was where she had lived briefly when she and Su Cheng'an had just arrived in Youyun City. After Huanyan and Zhao'er came, they also lived here for some time.
Following Princess Du's instructions, the maids have cleaned the place, put things in order, and the windows are spotless and everything is in perfect order.
Jinchu was very satisfied. Huanyan and Zhaoer would probably stay here for quite some time in the future!
As expected, Su Cheng'an didn't come back at lunchtime. Since he had to go out that afternoon, Jinchu had a quick lunch and, along with Yucheng and the two stewards from the front yard, went straight to the teahouse he had agreed to meet with his host.
Things went very smoothly. In just half an hour, the two managers, Wang and Chen, came to the tea room next door where Jin Chu was with smiles on their faces and brisk steps.
When she saw Ye Jinchu's name written on the deed, she was stunned for a moment. Why was it her name?
Thinking of what Ye Jinxuan had said to her yesterday with a serious face, "Ajin, I don't have much money right now. Since you paid for it, your name should be on the deed. When I have money in the future, I will buy back your house, and then the name will be changed back!"
At that time, she just smiled and passed it off, but she didn't expect that Ye Jinxuan would actually do what he said today and refused to take advantage of her at all.
Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh. She would not take the house back anyway. It was given to the two brothers anyway, so it didn't matter whose name was written on it.
