Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard
Chapter 93
Although the kid is about the same age as Du Xiaoli, his body is much smaller than Du Xiaoli. He looks very unfit in the clothes of a servant girl.
After a while, when Du Xiaoli and her family finished their dinner, the old beggar also cleaned up. Du Xiaoli asked the housekeeper here to arrange a room for him and let him go to bed first.
"Miss, miss, you also want a name for me." the kid smiled and looked at Du Xiaoli, which was different from the crying people in the afternoon.
"Why?" Du Xiaoli asked.
"Don''t I want to follow the young lady? Then I''ll be the young lady''s person. Xia yuan, their names are so beautiful. I want one too," said the kid.
Du Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "then your name is Qiaozhu."
"Qiaozhu? Well, I''ll be called Qiaozhu in the future." the kid, now renamed Qiaozhu, flopped down in front of Du Xiaoli and said, "thank you, miss. If you didn''t meet Miss, Qiaozhu would become an orphan again. Grandpa is very important to Qiaozhu, and miss is Qiaozhu''s reborn father and mother. Qiaozhu will repay Miss well in the future."
"Miss, Qiao Zhu''s deed of sale has been written." at this time, the official came in with a piece of paper.
Du Xiaoli looked at the officials suspiciously. She wasn''t ready to sell the deed.
It seemed to see Du Xiaoli''s doubts. The housekeeper explained, "the slave is Xia yuan. Miss Qiao Zhu said she wanted to follow the young lady, so she wrote a deed of betrayal and just filled in her name."
"The deed of sale, I know, but I can''t write. I''ll press a handprint." Qiao Zhu said. Then he pressed his handprint on the deed of sale and gave it to Du Xiaoli.
Du Xiaoli looked and gave it to Xia yuan.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door. Xia yuan asked, "housekeeper, what''s the matter outside?"
"Well, the first time the young lady came to Chuang Tzu, I asked everyone to meet the young lady, but everyone had fallen asleep, so I just asked someone to call them. Now it should be them." the housekeeper explained.
"Er -" Du Xiaoli wanted to say no, but when he thought they were all up, he said, "then meet them."
The housekeeper asked people to stand in the yard and lit all the lanterns, but it was still a little dark. Du Xiaoli came to the door and saw the people in the yard clearly by the light and moonlight.
There are not many people in Chuang Tzu. There are only more than 20 servant girls. Seeing that Du Xiaoli is only a 13-year-old girl, he still salutes her respectfully.
Du Xiaoli simply said a few words and asked them to go back to sleep. These people were all found by Fu Wansan. They were honest people who knew the rules, so there was no need for her to say anything.
It was late at night after Du Xiaoli took a bath. When Xia Yuan went to take a bath, Du Xiaoli called Qiaozhu to follow her and asked her to move a stool and sit by the bed.
"Qiao Zhu, do you know who I am?" Du Xiaoli asked.
"The prime minister''s wife should be Miss Du San, who came to the capital the day before yesterday. She is rumored to have no talent, no virtue, no inkling and no insight." Qiao Zhu said.
"How do you know?" Du Xiaoli asked.
"There''s nothing I don''t know about Qiaozhu in the capital!" Qiaozhu patted his chest and suddenly realized that his actions didn''t match his current clothes. Hehe smiled twice, put his hand away and said, "the former Miss Du Kexin of the Du family is not as good as Miss Du."
"Hehe, you know the people in the capital very well?" Du Xiaoli was amused by the appearance of Qiao Zhu and said.
"Of course I understand. We beggars eat hundreds of meals, listen to hundreds of family affairs and see hundreds of families. We often talk about the affairs of the official children. We listen more." Qiao Zhu said proudly.
"Well, you know I''ve just come to the capital and don''t know anything about things in the capital. In the future, if you follow me and encounter any people and things, I''ll ask you." Du Xiaoli said.
"No problem, it''s on Qiao Zhu." Qiao Zhu said boldly, then looked at Du Xiaoli with some embarrassment and asked, "Miss, I''m following you. What should grandpa do?"
"Now let him live here first. I bought a piece of land behind the prime minister''s residence. It will be built into an paddock at that time. Let your grandpa watch the paddock there. It''s only a river away from Du''s residence, which is convenient for you to see him." Du Xiaoli thought and said.
"Really? Thank you, miss. You are the lucky star of Qiao Zhu and grandpa!" Qiao Zhu said happily.
"Miss, we are looking for a little bee to come here! This mouth is as sweet as the one smeared with honey!" Xia yuan came back after taking a bath. When she heard Qiao Zhu''s words, she laughed and teased.
"Hey, hey." Qiao Zhu was teased by Xia yuan and smiled shyly.
"Well, everyone is tired today. Let''s have a rest earlier." Du Xiaoli said.
"Miss, I want to watch in Grandpa''s house," Qiao Zhu said.
"Well, go."
Qiao Zhu answered and ran out happily to the old beggar''s room. Xia Yuan went to the ear room after blowing out the light, but neither she nor Du Xiaoli slept and practiced internal power in bed.
The next morning, Qiao Zhu went to the door of Du Xiaoli''s room and waited until there was something moving inside. Then he knocked on the door and went in with washing water.
"You''re so quick that you can be a servant girl for the young lady. You''ve done a good job." Xia yuan looked at Qiao Zhu and said. Seeing her beautiful face and smart eyes, she smiled and said, "young lady, we''ve found a lovely person!" Du Xiaoli also dressed and turned to look at Qiao Zhu. Although she washed it last night, the light was dim and not as vivid as during the day. "Miss, this is the clean towel I asked the aunt here for." Qiao Zhu put the basin back and said. "How''s your grandpa now?" Du Xiaoli came to wash his face and asked. "The spirit is better than before! Miss''s medical skills are really excellent!" Qiao Zhu said with a smile. "We''ll go back this morning and give your grandpa a few more injections before we leave. When he gets close to the capital, I''ll treat him well and cure the stubborn diseases left in the past. If Dad moves quickly, you''ll be separated for more than ten days, and you don''t have to worry too much." Du Xiaoli said. He turned and saw Qiao Zhu''s face full of tears and asked, "what''s the matter with you?" "Wuwu, no one has ever been so kind to Qiaozhu except Grandpa. It''s such a feeling to be concerned by people other than Grandpa. Wuwu, it''s great to meet a young lady!" Qiaozhu simply cried. Xia yuan came over to dry her tears and said, "the young lady is very nice. All we can do is serve the young lady well and do what she ordered." "mm-hmm, I know, I will!" Qiao Zhu nodded. Du Xiaoli smiled and said nothing. She didn''t want to say that she saw the shadow of her previous life from Qiao Zhu, so she wanted to be good to her, just like how eager she was to be good to herself
