CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 756: GOING WITH THE FLOW (PART 2)

Mrs. Yuan was actually very worried, leaving this child with Yun Jinnian would not be good for his reputation.

Yun Jinnian looked up at Mrs. Yuan, "Right!"

"But..." Mrs. Yuan started to speak, then stopped.

"Nanny, I know your concerns, but he is Princess Jinfeng’s child, as well as Ayu’s biological nephew. Since he has been sent here, I must not throw him out. Besides, this child and I are fated!"

He wouldn’t let anyone else hold him, except for her.

It was indeed fate!

Mrs. Yuan sighed, "Then I will help Miss with raising him. I’ll find some fabric and make him new clothes tomorrow!"

Yun Jinnian smiled, "Nanny, thank you!"

"..." Mrs. Yuan smiled.

Her heart was filled with joy.

"Nanny, you watch him first. I’m going to freshen up, and then you can go to sleep!"

"Yes!"

Yun Jinnian quickly freshened up but still dressed very neatly.

Mrs. Yuan looked on in astonishment.

"Prince Rui will surely come back later. I should wait for him. Nanny, you go now to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare a pot of chicken soup!"

"Okay!"

Mrs. Yuan actually thought highly of Chu Yu.

No matter from which aspect, Chu Yu was a good man, and he treated Yun Jinnian well.

Mrs. Yuan got up, ready to head to the kitchen.

There was no small kitchen in the Han Residence. You’d just tell the main kitchen what you wanted, and once it was made, you’d go pick it up.

"Nanny, take a few gold hairpins over there, reward the people who work overnight. One for each person!"

Giving silver wouldn’t exceed two hundred taels, but a gold hairpin would be worth at least four or five hundred taels. Even if the kitchen staff had complaints, seeing the value of the gold hairpins, they would be willing to work.

"Yes!"

Mrs. Yuan took a few from the jewelry box, wrapped them, and put them in her bosom.

Thinking of the items sent by the Wang Residence, she asked, "Miss, what about the things sent by the Wang Residence?"

"Catalog them and store them in the warehouse!"

"Alright!"

The items from the Wang Residence were what she deserved.

So her taking them did not make her feel guilty at all.

Mrs. Yuan went to the kitchen, where a few cooks were cleaning up. Seeing Mrs. Yuan come in, they quickly greeted her, "Mother Yuan, what brings you here? Does the young miss want to eat something?"

"Miss knows that you all have worked hard. She sent me to reward you!" Mrs. Yuan counted the people and took out the gold hairpins from her bosom. "Here, one for each of you. These are from Qiaoshi Pavilion, excellent to keep for your daughters’ dowries!"

The cooks were overjoyed.

Such gold hairpins were rare treasures, hard to come by even if they worked hard for a lifetime.

Having received the gift, they were naturally filled with gratitude towards Yun Jinnian.

"Oh, right, Miss said to stew a pot of chicken soup. Send Hemei to pick it up later!"

"When should she come?"

"I don’t know exactly, but once the soup is ready, leave someone to watch over it. Be sure to keep everything clean!"

He who takes a favor is subdued by the benefactor.

"Rest assured, Mother Yuan, we’ll remember it well!"

"Good, you all stay busy, then. I’ll head back to Chaoyang Academy!"

"Mother Yuan, have a safe walk!"

After sending Mother Yuan off, the cooks were beyond happy, brandishing their gold hairpins yet reluctant to wear them.

"Wow, these gold hairpins are really exquisite!"

"Do you even need to say it? These are from Qiaoshi Pavilion. I think they’re worth at least five hundred taels!"

"Not just that, at least eight hundred taels!"

"Regardless, our Commandery Princess is one of the richest in the capital and has exquisite medical skills. Didn’t you see the things delivered by the Wang Residence today? Tsk, tsk, tsk, several carts full, those boxes lowered down, worth a great deal of silver!"

"Stop dawdling, go and butcher another old hen, and see if there’s any ginseng left in the kitchen. Start stewing it right away, as the Commandery Princess might send someone over soon!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"
