Ch 43: The Suddenly Rich Chou Chou Seeks the God of Wealth Online
First, there was the huge chest of gold and silver treasures that Chou Chou brought back from In the Palace, and then there was the Empress Dowager’s gift of the exquisite Eight Treasures… Basin!
Yun Jinglan thought the treasures bestowed by the Imperial Madams of the various palaces were shocking enough, but after seeing the basin the Empress Dowager sent, she felt she had been shocked too early.
Is the Empress Dowager implying that their Chou Chou is a rice bucket?
The others in the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion were also dumbfounded, encountering such a perfunctory reward for the first time.
Only Wen Shi secretly laughed to herself on the side. Originally, knowing that this Little Daughter could enter the Palace on the first day of the new year meant she had climbed up a high branch, but she didn’t expect she would actually receive such a reward.
Doesn’t the Empress Dowager’s intention imply that the Wen Yang Marquis Family are all good-for-nothing rice buckets during the New Year? This must be because this damned girl offended some noble in the Palace!
And they, with their blind eyes, usually praised this damned girl so highly!
Wen Shi, supported by Zheng Xiulan who had come along, coldly snorted at Yun Jinglan with an arrogant expression, then flattered the Eunuch who delivered the decree with a smile: “This Eunuch has worked hard. Could it be that our disobedient Little Dot offended Her Majesty the Empress Dowager in the Palace and incurred Her Majesty’s displeasure? This old woman apologizes to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and the nobles In the Palace on her behalf!”
After hearing this, the Wen Yang Marquis first quickly glanced at the expressions of his son and daughter-in-law, then immediately scolded: “Nonsense! How could Chou Chou, a Little Milk Cow, offend a noble? She must have gained the Empress Dowager’s favor!”
Chou Chou had been playing wildly In the Palace all day and was so sleepy that she couldn’t even open her eyes, but her dad still carried her out to receive the decree.
Her resentment was already heavier than a ghost, and after being slandered by her grandmother like this, she wished she could go to the underworld to grab two ghosts and press them on her shoulders to let everyone know what fear is!
【Chou Chou didn’t, I’m super good! I watched the Imperial Madam perform, playing musical instruments and singing, great~】
Wen Yang Marquis: “???” Who played musical instruments and sang for her?!
“Chou Chou, what exactly did you do In the Palace?”
Chou Chou lowered her eyelids, then raised her head to glance at her grandfather, giving him a look to let him figure it out himself.
【What can a Little Baby like me do!】
【I just had the Empress change my diaper for me. It’s normal for a Little Kid like me to pee! You have to understand!】
Wen Yang Marquis: “!!!” He didn’t dare to understand randomly!
【Consort De said I was her precious little darling and even danced for me. Although her eyesight isn’t good, her figure is great!】
Wen Yang Marquis: “!!!” Forgive me, forgive me, this old man absolutely cannot listen to such words!
【Consort Shu has no taste, she said I’m not as cute as her daughter! Could I tolerate that? In the end, didn’t she still fall under my big cotton pants? She sang a little tune for me~】
Wen Yang Marquis: “……” Is there no one to save his about-to-die heart?
How is this child’s description getting scarier and scarier!
【And Consort Jing’s massage skills are amazing! Imperial Concubine Fang fed me a bowl of Cow’s Milk, she smells so good, she said she’ll make fragrant powder for me in the future, so I can be the most fragrant cub in the Capital!】
【And…】
“And?!”
Wen Yang Marquis’s legs went weak. Is there still hope for their Marquis Mansion?
To say something treasonous, even His Majesty probably hasn’t had such treatment. The three palaces and six courtyards belong to the Emperor, not some Little Kid who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Su Junyao conveniently supported his tottering old dad, smiling awkwardly at the Little Eunuch who delivered the decree. It seemed that the Empress Dowager was really warning their Wen Yang Marquis Family!
The Little Eunuch who delivered the decree was confused. How could the Wen Yang Marquis Family suddenly look as if they were mourning their parents during the New Year?
Could it be that his interpretation of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager’s meaning wasn’t clear enough?
Ah, no wonder. This Little Miss of the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion is too young to convey Her Majesty the Empress Dowager’s meaning herself.
“Marquis, the Imperial Madam likes your family’s Little Miss and instructed that the Little Miss must eat her fill and grow fat, and they have made plans to watch the lanterns together on the fifteenth!”
【That’s right, I’m very busy. From now on, the Imperial Madams have all invited me to enter the Palace. Look at my schedule, Empress Dowager Grandma is scheduled for the fifteenth. 】
Wen Yang Marquis: The Old Taoist Priest only said that a Little Lucky Star would appear in their Old Su Family, but he didn’t say she would be this lucky!
The Su Family was still very satisfied with this result. Chou Chou being favored In the Palace brought honor to their Wen Yang Marquis Mansion.
Only Wen Shi was extremely frustrated, tightly grabbing Zheng Xiulan’s hand, her sharp nails directly piercing into her flesh, causing the latter to cry out in pain and shake off Wen Shi’s hand.
Caught off guard, Wen Shi’s body trembled and she directly bumped into the Wen Yang Marquis in front of her. The Wen Yang Marquis almost kowtowed to the Little Eunuch delivering the decree on the spot during the New Year.
◈◈◈
He didn’t do anything, but the Little Eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he stammered: “Marquis, there’s no need for that. This servant will return to the Palace now. Miss Chou Chou, this servant will take you flying again next time you enter the Palace!”
Chou Chou yawned: 【Easy, easy. 】
Without noticing, Chou Chou’s connections had already spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace!
The basin bestowed by the Empress Dowager was too extravagant. Just the outer ring of the bowl was inlaid with a circle of rubies. If Chou Chou ever ran out of money in the future, she could just casually pry off one and it would be enough for her to live without worry for the rest of her life.
It seems the Empress Dowager is really afraid that she will not have enough to eat and go hungry in the future.
They wanted to ask Chou Chou more about what happened today, but discovered that she had already buried her head in Su Junyao’s arms and entered dreamland.
It doesn’t matter, they can ask her tomorrow.
“Look how sleepy the child is. Eldest Madam, take Chou Chou back to rest first.”
He would go clear out a space in the treasury for Chou Chou. He had a premonition that Chou Chou’s rewards in the future would not be few.
It was obvious that everyone was very curious about Chou Chou’s experiences today, but they weren’t depraved enough to wake the Little Kid up to ask. They were all thinking of asking her the next day.
They never expected that they were still too naive!
What Chou Chou said about being busy was really busy!
The next day, she was picked up by a Momo from the Palace right after she finished drinking her milk, saying that Consort De wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Chou Chou.
Consort De, one of the Four Consorts, having a heart-to-heart with a three-month-old baby?
Tell that to the ghosts!
Then came Consort Shu on the second day of the new year, Consort Jing on the third day, and Imperial Concubine Fang, who lived in the same place, on the fourth day…
By the fifth day, Yun Jinglan was curious: “No one came to pick up Chou Chou today?”
The family had gradually accepted the fact that Chou Chou was busier than the Marquis.
Chou Chou didn’t know what she had learned In the Palace these past few days, but her skill in rolling over was getting more and more proficient. She rolled over, imitated Princess Funing, kicked the bedpost, rolled to Yun Jinglan’s side, and said seriously: 【Today is the fifth day!】
The fifth day? What about the fifth day? No Imperial Madams were bewitched by her?
Chou Chou was heartbroken, expressing her inability to associate with this mother who was born into wealth and didn’t know the suffering of the world: 【The fifth day, we welcome the God of Wealth!】
Who can reject the God of Wealth’s love!
What if the God of Wealth comes today and can’t find her?
So yesterday she rejected Imperial Concubine Xian’s invitation, and today she had to wait at home for the God of Wealth’s blessing.
Chou Chou wasn’t even willing to sit in the house, afraid that the God of Wealth would find the wrong person. She knew that there was a Little Maid in the Mansion who raised a Tabby Cat named Jiu Jiu. She couldn’t let the Cat get the benefit!
The plump Tabby Cat leaned on a dead branch, peeked at the Little Kid in the courtyard, and then quickly left.
It was an adult Cat, and it didn’t scare children.
【Most expensive God of Wealth, please bestow blessings upon Chou Chou!】
Dongxiao hurriedly ran in from outside: “He’s here, he’s here, he’s really here!”
Chou Chou: “!!!”
