Chapter 21: The Handkerchief with Embroidered Plum Blossoms

  ♂?,,

  Nowadays, Caiyun has become the first senior maid beside Chu Ke'er. Everyone has to listen to her, and Chunyan is the second senior maid. On the other hand, Pingli, who was originally the senior maid of this courtyard, has retreated and rarely enters this house since Chunyan arrived. Although it's strange, no one dares to question it.

  Chu Ke's hand was in the quilt, and she was still holding that piece of jade pendant, thinking, why did San Biao Ge's aunt want to send a maid to herself? Was it because San Biao Ge gave himself that piece of jade? Or was it that on the day San Biao Ge sent the jade, his behavior reached her ears and she had doubts?

  I didn't do anything to make San Ge or San Ge's wife misunderstand, Chu Keqi can confirm this, but it seems like everyone wants to link me with San Ge Zhu Yuxu, and my second sister Chu Yuntin and fourth younger sister Chu Yunqing seem to have concerns about this too...

  But Zhu Yujie... Chu Keqian always felt that he seemed to hope that everyone would misunderstand his intentions towards him, and was guiding everyone in that direction...

  Although she didn't know what Zhu Yuxu meant, she didn't want to be led by the nose. In that case, at least three enemies would emerge, and she didn't want to become someone else's pawn unknowingly and for no reason.

  Caiyun looked outside and saw Pingli directing the maidservants to sweep the snow.

  Chu Xue embroidered in the quilt, put the ink jade pendant back into the gourd bag and tied the opening. At this moment, she was flipping over and looking at the handkerchief in her hand, which she had just taken out of her sleeve, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with a sideways glance.

  The colorful cloud standing in front of the window withdrew her gaze from the courtyard and turned to look at the third daughter sitting on the kang, seeing that she was still staring at the handkerchief, and smiled as she walked over: "Miss, why are you always looking at the handkerchief? Do you want to embroider flowers?"

  Chu Ke nodded and sighed: "Yes, I wanted to embroider a plum blossom on the handkerchief... unfortunately, my hand is injured."

  "Does the young lady like plum blossoms?" Caiyun smiled and walked lightly to the edge of the kang, slightly tilting her head to look at the handkerchief in Chuyi's hand. It was a plain white handkerchief with only a soft thread edging on all four sides, without any embroidered flowers.

  "I like it, I really like it." Chu Keqi raised her face and smiled at her: "It wasn't until I saw the plum tree in the courtyard that I realized how beautiful plum blossoms are. Unfortunately, I don't have a handkerchief with embroidered plum blossoms on it."

  "If you don't despise me, I can actually embroider," Caiyun said with a smile.

  "When should I embroider? I want it now." Chu Ke said lightly, leaning lazily against the cushion and tossing the handkerchief in her hand to one side.

  Caiyun raised an eyebrow, she hadn't expected Third Young Miss to have such a capricious side. Looking at her lazily closing her eyes, it seemed that as long as there wasn't a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms appearing in front of her, she was prepared to sleep like this.

  Caiyun lowered her raised eyebrows and smiled, "This isn't difficult either. Go to the embroidery room and get two dozen, they have handkerchiefs with all sorts of flower patterns embroidered on them."

  Chu Ke immediately opened her eyes and smiled, asking: "Is there any Su Xiu?"

  "Yes, definitely" Caiyun smiled confidently and called out to Chunyan who was waiting at the door: "Chunyan, would you please go to the embroidery room and pick up two dozen Su-style embroidered handkerchiefs with plum blossoms? Tell them I sent you."

  Spring Swallow had been in the mansion for some time and naturally understood that Caiyun was someone from the Crown Prince's side, so with her words, no one dared to not comply. Therefore, she immediately agreed and smiled at Chu Keqi: "Third Miss, don't worry, I'll bring her back soon." With that, she left.

  Chu Kei really sat up straight, half leaning on the table waiting.

  Caiyun smiled and opened the closet, taking out the clothes one by one to tidy up. Chuyi turned her head again and stared at her movements, after a while she said: "Caiyun, take out all the red and green clothes inside, I really don't like those colors, it's annoying to look at them, pick them out and take them away to wear."

  Caiyun didn't turn around, her hands busy in the cabinet, smiling as she replied: "Third Miss sympathizes with us and takes care of us, we all know that. It's just that masters and servants are different, Miss's clothes, how can we wear them? If we really wore them, before we even left the courtyard gate, we'd already be dragged away by the teaching aunt to be beaten."

  "Alas..." Chu Ke sighed softly: "If I wore these clothes, I'm afraid I would also be dragged away by the teacher to be beaten with a board."

  "What are you talking about, miss?" Caiyun turned her head around with a surprised smile: "Even if the housekeeper is very strict, she can only manage us slaves. Even if they have the guts to do so, they wouldn't dare to scold Miss to the point of death."

  "The great lady has just passed away, and I'm wearing such bright red and green clothes, swaggering around the mansion, provoking public outrage. It's normal for the prince's consort to instruct a few servant girls to discipline me." Chu Ke looked at her with a smile.

  Caiyun paused for a moment and smiled: "But it's just inside, not worn on the body."

  "If I put them inside, I won't feel comfortable either. What if the Duchess comes one day and happens to see so many red dresses in my closet? Will she think these are from our household? My mother's mourning is still on me, but I have so many bright and beautiful clothes, what kind of heart is that? What if she thinks of Brother-in-law again? And what if, by chance, the one who sees them is actually my grandmother..." Chuyi Xiu blinked her eyes and smiled at Caiyun.

  Caiyun smiled and quickly picked up the conversation: "Then have someone take away all these clothes." She immediately walked to the door and called out: "Pingli?"

  With one call, Ping Li was summoned, as if she had been waiting outside, and walked in with a smile, asking: "What are your orders, Sister Caiyun?"

  Caiyun's face didn't smile, and she said lightly: "The clothes in the wardrobe are probably all gifts. Take out the brightly colored ones inside, return those that should be returned to their owners, and throw away those that should be thrown away."

  Chu Ke smiled and looked at Ping Li, nodded, walked closer to the wardrobe, back to Cai Yun, her face was a bit ugly, with a look of being wronged.

  After she finished picking up the bright red and green clothes, Chu Ke was about to go out when he let out a sigh and said: "Why send them back? Miss knows I don't have any clothes to wear, that's why she sent them over. If I send them back now, isn't that slapping Miss in the face? What am I relying on here? It's better to put them in the trunk in the opposite wing of the house."

  Ping Li responded with a "yes" and walked into the house across with a smile.

  Caiyun walked lightly to the wardrobe to collect clothes, seemingly not feeling Pingli's haughty attitude at all, nor did she hear San Guniang's sarcastic words, unaware that San Guniang was targeting herself, with a calm expression and a hint of a smile.

  Spring Swallow came in with a smile, holding a delicate red lacquer tray, on which two dozen handkerchiefs were neatly stacked. She said to Chu Ke Hui Fu Fu with a smile: "Su Xiang Mei's handkerchiefs have arrived, Miss, take a look and see if you like them?" As she spoke, she handed them over with both hands.

  Caiyun was standing sideways behind the wardrobe, looking over this way.

  Chu Ke didn't take it, instead she put her hand in her sleeve and looked up to examine it, smiling and nodding: "The plum blossom embroidery really is beautiful..." She lifted her face to look at Chunyan with a smile: "Chunyan, take these two dozen handkerchiefs and deliver them to Late Spring Auntie at Third Master's place."

  The spring swallow's body was still half-crouched, the smile on her face still lingering, and she froze in a very comical posture.

  Caiyun also froze, staring blankly.

  The elegant movement of the dustpan on the other side also stopped, although it didn't look this way.

  Chu Ke smiled and said to Chunyan again, "Just hold it like this and take it to give to Late Spring Auntie on the side of Third Master... How to go, don't need me to show you the way? If Auntie asks what's going on, just say it was sent by Third Miss. Hurry up"

  The last word was slightly raised, and Chunyan was startled, moving her body, looking up at Chu Kui with a bewildered expression, then turning to look at Caiyun for help, but Caiyun had already turned around, picking up the remaining clothes in the wardrobe.

  Spring Swallow could only reluctantly bid farewell to her son, turned around silently and left, holding the two dozen handkerchiefs in both hands.

  Chu Ke slowly leaned against the backrest.

  She looked down at the ground in front of her, sometimes Caiyun's busy feet would pass by from the front. She saw that Caiyun was wearing a pair of brown velvet embroidered shoes with soft soles, which could only be worn indoors. Wearing such shoes outside would make the small stones on the ground hurt her feet.

  Such embroidered shoes are generally not worn by maids, as they are often sent out on errands by their masters. Even if they don't go out of the house, walking around in front of and behind the house, inside and outside the courtyard, this kind of shoe is also not suitable.

  Caiyun is not ordinary, it seems that she's not just the crown prince's consort's confidant, look at her demeanor, tone of voice, and facial expression, that's really something. Which maid is like this? With someone like this by your side, you can't even sleep soundly.

  Chu Ke's mouth slowly curled up at the corners, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

  It is by.
