Sure enough, it was a hard backstage, the bookstore was opposite to a Wenbao Zhai on the other side of Chongxiangfang, Liuniang and his party were close, and they obviously felt that there was a brief commotion after the two healthy servants entered the store, but they quickly calmed down - not with a little leisurely silence before they entered, but a kind of compromised calm.

Liu Niang is thoughtful, maybe it's not just a county king.

"What are they looking for?" Tong'er muttered to herself.

Even Tong'er could see what they were looking for, and Liuniang interrupted Zhuqing, who was about to speak: "Let's go back to the teahouse first." ”

Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, she was just a servant of daily life, nothing had happened, and at this time, she was worried about the lady outside and the lady inside, and she was really afraid that the lady and child would have a temper and want to wander outside.

When the three of them entered the teahouse, the two healthy servants were coming out of the backyard and going upstairs, and the second shopkeeper was attentively accompanied.

The guy recognized Liuniang, and the lady in front had instructed, so he just led Liuniang to the account room in the backyard: "Mrs. has gone to the inventory, please wait here." ”

also served tea and snacks diligently, and Liuniang pretended to be puzzled: "Who are those two people? Why did they come to the backyard?"

There are important places such as warehouses and account rooms in the backyard, and no one is allowed to enter. Although Liuniang is small, she is also the head of her own family, and the guy didn't think much about it, he glanced upstairs, and said in a low voice: "It's from Ruiwangfu, I don't know what I'm looking for." ”

Liuniang understood: "Oh, you go and get busy, I'll call you again if you have something." ”

There were big and small maids waiting for her, and the guy retreated as he said.

There were no outsiders, Tong'er couldn't help it anymore: "Lady, Rui Wangfu!"

Liuniang looked at her and stared at her in amazement, looking like the "legendary Rui Wangfu", and couldn't help but joke with her: "Yes, what about Rui Wangfu, do you want to ask for an autograph?"

"What signature?"

Stared at by Zhu Qingtong'er's two pairs of puzzled eyes, Liu Niang laughed dryly, and changed the topic with interest: "Zhu Qing, go and see if my mother wants to help." ”

My mother only brought one Yinzhu when she went out today, and the second shopkeeper was in front, so if she was busy, she was afraid that she would not even be able to supply tea.

Zhu Qing didn't worry that she and Tong'er were here, and said a few more words, Liuniang insisted, listening to the movement in front of the two servants of Ruiwang's Mansion left, Zhu Qing put her mind at ease, and told Liuniang and Tong'er to stay obediently, and call her loudly if there was something, so she went out step by step.

Liuniang came back and sat down happily and asked Tong'er, "Huh, did you hear any sound just now?"

Tong'er hesitated for a moment, looked around, and suddenly said, "The window in the back is closed, is it blown by the wind?"

Is it windy?

Liuniang was suspicious, and walked over with Tong'er, Tong'er pushed open the half of the window that was covered, Liuniang looked at the windowsill, and saw a few shallow footprints under the window root, and her body did not move, but she remembered the two rows of cabinets in the house because she wanted to store the account books.

The window is open to the outside, and if it is turned out from the inside, it probably won't be closed.

Looking at the footprints carefully, Liu Niang could probably think that this person was hiding in this house, and the servants hurriedly turned out the window to hide after searching here, and it was not difficult to guess why they turned back - it must have been before they had time to slip away, and the two servants had already searched the backyard next door.

"Huh, what is this?"

Tong'er bent down and picked up a bead the size of a woman's fingertip and handed it to Liuniang.

Liu Niang touched the feel of the beads, and looked at the light, the color was full, the shape was round, and it was a real pearl.

There are holes in it, and if you look closely, there are still a few strands of white brocade thread remaining, and you can see that it was originally attached to something and was torn off.

This is not the era of large-scale artificially cultivated pearl shells in later generations, and to be able to decorate things with such pearls, Liuniang is more and more aware of the identity of the person who came.

Who else can run around and provoke such tension and dignity in the Derui Palace, but who else is there but that prince?

If the person next to Liuniang is still nervous, thinking about the age and "poor" life experience of this son, Liuniang can't be nervous.

Tong'er saw that Liuniang's expression was relaxed, and couldn't help but lean over and take a look: "Is this a pearl?"

"Can you pick up such a big pearl casually?" Liu Niang didn't want to explain so much that made the little maid chirp - with her age, she couldn't explain it.

Tong'er thought about it, too, and said disappointedly: "Fake?"

"Hmm. Throw it away!"

Zhao Jinyuan, the prince of Rui Wang, who was hiding behind the cabinet, secretly scolded these two ignorant little girls, can he have fakes on the prince of the palace? ?

I don't remember the nervousness and resentment when the pearls on the hairband hung on the window when I came in - he was not filial and could not use colored things, and the white satin headband was decorated with two pearls.

"Don't, lady, play with me!" Tong'er is used to liking rouge gouache jewelry and jade jewelry, although she knows that it is "fake", but she is still reluctant to see the beauty of the beads.

Liu Niang had no choice but to pretend to be dissatisfied: "You are my maid, if you use a fake one, won't it break my face?"

Pulling the lady's face, Tong'er didn't dare to fight anymore, so she had to reluctantly watch Liuniang throw the beads out of the window.

Zhao Jinyuan vomited so much that a mouthful of blood blocked his throat and eyes - real pearls can be recognized as fake and thrown away, and he dares to say his face without shame?

Take a closer look, well, this little girl looks quite cute, but it's still far worse than Cousin Zishu.

The master and servant returned to the coffee table and sat down again, Liuniang drank tea, Tong'er was bored, and began to have nothing to say: "Lady, what do you say the people in Ruiwangfu are looking for?"

Zhao Jinyuan mentioned it in his heart, and Liuniang's hand serving tea also paused, his mind was racing, and he said as if nothing happened: "Naturally, it is the prince of King Rui." ”

She, how does she know? Zhao Jinyuan lifted his breath and looked at An Jinbao without a moment's notice.

Liuniang was also hesitating in her heart, a voice said, "It's none of your business, hang high!Don't be nosy!", another voice was saying, "This child is a little pitiful, my mother has only been dead for half a year, and my father is going to marry my stepmother, maybe this stepmother will bring him a stepbrother/sister." ”

"Prince Rui?" Tong'er gasped: "Prince?"

Liuniang really disliked her maid for not seeing the world like this, and said angrily: "Yes, Shizi!"

The world is amazing, isn't it?

Although she constantly reminds herself that this is ancient times, after all, she lives in a comfortable nest like Anjia, except for the New Year's worship of ancestors and kowtowing to the New Year's money, she has not had the opportunity to face the hierarchical feudal dynasty system, and she really has no sense of crisis.

Tong'er really wanted to say that the son of the family was really remarkable, especially King Rui was deeply favored as the younger brother of His Majesty, and of course the son of his family was even more remarkable...... But seeing that his wife was unhappy, his neck shrank, and he said slowly: "Why are they looking for the son?"

Liuniang gave her a blank look, isn't this nonsense? Of course, she lost the world!

The master and servant were silent again, Liuniang was entangled for a while, and the prince of Rui Wang was said to be only eight years old, eight years old......
