Qin Weien was playing an endgame in the house, and when he saw Pei Gu coming, he asked him to sit down and watch chess with him. Pei Gu thought about it again and again, and said what he thought in his heart.

In fact, when he walked into Ganyulou, he regretted his impulsiveness. didn't think about it, so he rashly ran over to find his uncle.

Since Qin Yuan saw the woman dressed as a woman, and cleared the door of the bottom of "Zhang Ji", he naturally would not miss the person in the prince's guard.

But he didn't expect Qin Weien's eyes to deepen a little: "The prince seems to value this person too much." ”

The endgame was put on and off, Pei Gu drank two teas, and then he realized that although Qin Yuan had sent someone to the Shuntianfu prison early in the morning to inquire about the news, he didn't expect that the person who entered the Shuntianfu prison was not the one who attacked him and Pei Gu that day.

But in order to protect the reputation of the girls of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, Qin Yuan naturally couldn't go to the Shuntian Mansion prison to identify that person, while Pei Gu kept recuperating from his injuries.

On the same day, the people who came to inquire about the news only said that Wuwei Hou Shizi encountered a group of robbers in Zhangji, Xicheng, who killed the shopkeeper, and was accidentally injured in the chaos, and the carriage of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion happened to pass by, so he invited him to Qin's Mansion to recuperate.

Although such a reason is somewhat undetailed, after all, there were too many girls who went out of the Qin Mansion that day, and a son-in-law with a five- or six-year-old sister was injured, and a group of girls who were like flowers and jade were "frightened" at the place where the accident occurred. Obviously, the former is more suitable.

Zhang Ji's shopkeeper was also reasonable and kept silent.

It's just that the guard who should be in prison next to the prince was stiffened by Li Daitao.

The whole thing seems to be even more confusing.

It was dark, and the light rain that had been falling for a day gradually stopped.

Hui Zhi went back to the Yuhua Pavilion alone, and behind her, she was holding a gold-sprinkled paper in her hand, which was a post given to her by Miss Su, inviting her to go to the house to play on the twenty-first day of the first lunar month. Also got the post was Sui Hua and Sui Fan.

Although it is said that a few little girls gather to play, but in previous years, after the Shangyuan Festival, Mrs. Su would always invite everyone to hold a spring banquet, and the number of people was comparable to the plum banquet held by her aunt in the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion, or even more - not only the nobles of the family in Beijing will go, but also a lot of Su Ge Lao's protégés, not to mention that Su Ge Lao also added the title of Prince Taifu from the first grade, and once taught several princes, so the previous spring banquet, the royal family will also be invited to come.

It's just that this year's Spring Banquet is a little different. I don't know if it's because the girls of the Su family have also learned to be in charge, the old lady of Su Ge just opened up the newly renovated Xiaonanyuan, and asked the eldest girl Su to invite the nobles in the capital to have a small flower banquet alone, and play separately from the elders, saying that it can be more enjoyable.

A few years ago, the Su family married the eldest granddaughter-in-law, Chen, who is the grandchild of the old lady of Su Ge. The old lady Su Ge asked the eldest granddaughter-in-law to help Miss Su run the girls' party.

Mother Wang also got the post, but she was still in the first three months and it was inconvenient to go out, so Mrs. Tuesday took them out. But when they arrived at Su Mansion, it should only be the girls who went to Xiaonanyuan together, and the elders and ladies went to the main hall of Su Mansion.

The officials of various provinces, the sons of noble families, drank and listened to the opera in the outer courtyard.

There is also the advantage of being separated from the feast, the elders don't have to worry about the juniors when they talk, and the juniors don't have to shy away from the elders when they play with each other and whisper.

It's just that I'm afraid that the bride Chen and Miss Su, who are in charge of the overall situation, will have a lot of hard work.

Sui Hua had dinner early in the morning and went back to his yard, and the eldest girl beside Mrs. Wang arranged a place for Shao Lady to live early.

Even the jewelry is only a few kinds of green jade and white jade, and few gold and silver are used, and few gemstones with fancy colors are used. Suihua listened to Mrs. Wang chatting with her for a few words, and only then did she know that when Lady Shao left the palace, she was married and planned to live a good life, but she had an inexplicable relationship with the harem secret, but she didn't expect that her husband would die of illness less than a year after she was newly married.

Female official Shao blamed herself all the year round, thinking that she had caused her husband to be a burden. Therefore, he is a vegetarian all year round, and even his clothes and jewelry are very pure.

Sui Hua returned to the house, put on a half-worn home-style jacket, untied his hair in a bun, loosely tied it up with an embroidered headband, washed the makeup on his face, and walked to Lady Shao's residence.

Lady Shao obviously didn't think that Suihua would come to her house like this. She also changed into a homely white moire jacket, her hair was still neat, and she couldn't hide her tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes, but she still saluted the third girl upright.

Sui Hua also turned sideways, avoided half of it, and then asked softly: "Mother Shao thinks that it is inconvenient to live here, although it is said that Sui Hua must arrange it for her mother." ”

Lady Shao shook her head lightly, said no, and then boiled water to make tea herself, and asked Suihua to sit down.

"The situation in the harem is now cloudy, since the girl gave up her face to look at the slave maid, the slave maid will talk to the girl first. ”

Mother Shao's action of cooking tea and water is smooth, and it is no worse than the demeanor of a noble lady who is good at tea. While staring at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, he opened his lips and said softly: "The queen of the middle palace, Yuan, behind is Yuan Jing, the general of Zhaowu who is the third grade, once defeated the liukou in the Sichuan and Shu areas, and the bandits were meritorious. Yuan Jing has a close relationship with General Xiao, and the crown princess Xiao is the granddaughter of General Xiao's relatives. ”

"Empress Yuan was once in decline, and even the crown prince was often impeached by the imperial history, and Shen Guifei disturbed the troubled waters in the palace and the court, but now she is too rampant, and her hand is too long, so the emperor lifted Empress Yuan out to suppress her. The Shen family accompanied the emperor when he was young, and the friendship lasted for a long time, and Shen's elder brother Shen Jinrong was an imperial merchant before, and now he heard that he had to make up for the lack of officials, so it seems that it is not the emperor's compensation for the concubine?"

Shao's mother lit the water, looked up and saw that Suihua had a lot of thoughts in her eyes, and listened carefully.

So he continued: "The queen was snubbed by the emperor for many years because of her involvement with Shen Guifei's slippery fetus, and the Shen family was in power in the harem because of this, and there were many followers around her - the biological mother of the third prince, Li Concubine Yang, was raised by Shen Guifei, and Jing Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the second prince who died early, was a loyal minister around the queen, and she seemed to be very gentle, but in fact she was also a person with a lot of thoughts."

Then he laughed softly as if deprecating himself: "The person who can live well in the palace, isn't the one who thinks a lot?" The third girl must remember: The person who is good with you will not always be good with you. Although Li Concubine was raised by the Shen family, since she had the third prince, she has become increasingly estranged from the Shen family. ”

Female Officer Shao was about to continue talking about the newly promoted Jin Mei beside Shen Guifei, but she didn't expect Sui Hua to interrupt: "I don't know what kind of person Concubine Zhou is?"

Zhou Shufei.

Female Officer Shao's eyes were obscure.

Concubine Zhou Shufei is a woman with a lot of words.
