An Qirong is a clever person, yes, she gets along well with the Li family, but in the past few days, several girls in the same second room have more or less had some contacts, even Li Shuwan and Li Shuyu are not right, but in her presence, she can put down the mustard and talk and laugh, which shows her exquisite heart and liver. The girls of the Wind Garden saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

Thin makeup peach face, shy eyebrows.

Light pink Luo Yi, with a silver-gilded beaded dotted emerald hairpin given by Yao's between the temples, and gold inlaid with eastern pearl earrings in his ears, which is more and more bright, and the snow leans on the cheeks.

An Qirong looked at herself in the mirror, with delicate facial features and smart eyebrows. How could such a face marry into a poor family in a sour family? But the good family in her heart would not marry her as a main house. In this way, she can only be a concubine, but her mother will not agree to her to be a concubine for others, if she wanted to be a concubine, she would have done it a long time ago, why wait until now? But, but if it is the identity of the prince...... It's different...... Even if you can't be a side concubine, be a princess......

An Qirong thought about her heart, and walked all the way to the garden, she was not such a twisted woman, she knew men, and there was no man who didn't love beauty. Listening to Li Shuci's meaning, the prince and the princess are probably respectful of each other, if they can have the opportunity to contact so many times, she believes that even if she has no family background and no talent, she will definitely be able to enter the eyes of the prince......

She looked at the spring lake in the Lingering Garden, where some hardy wanderweeds had spread their round leaves and floated gently on the water. The soft willow around has pulled out a few new shoots, a few peach blossoms are deep and shallow, and the water pavilion in one corner has been tied with a thin and light veil, fluttering softly in the wind, stirring her more and more unsettled thoughts......

"Sister. ”

A steady and soft female voice came from behind her, An Qirong turned around, she had already seen the Wu family, only the Zhou family had recently lost her daughter, and she had been hiding in the yard and had not seen it, her mind turned back and forth, she had already guessed who the person was, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law?"

Zhou was dressed in plain clothes, her face was haggard, obviously the matter of the three children hit her very hard, she tried her best to maintain this dignified demeanor, and said: "You and I have never met, you can guess who I am at once, my sister is really thoughtful." ”

An Qirong was slightly blessed, she had heard a lot of things that happened in the big house recently, and she inevitably took a little scary look at Zhou: "The eldest cousin-in-law has been unwell recently, and Ah Rong is not good to bother." How about now?"

Zhou's smile was gentle, but her eyes were dark, and her face still had a tired look that could not be hidden, and it was difficult to hide it even if she applied a thick layer of fat powder, she said: "It's a lot better, but I feel that my head is still groggy from time to time, so I came out for a walk." ”

An Qirong said: "The eldest cousin should rest more, don't hurt the root of the body, I have a prescription, the most effective treatment for headache and drowsiness, I will send it to the eldest cousin later." ”

Zhou secretly looked at it, this An Qirong is really a good person, and it is no wonder that he has become a good person after only a few days in the house. It's not pretentious, so that others can't say something annoying. "Thank you very much. ”

Zhou thanked him and went away, and the little girl standing behind An Qirong kept her head down, listening to what the two said, and remembering it word for word. An Qirong looked at Zhou's eyes, thoughtfully, and glanced at the little girl next to her, Hongguo'er, this girl was assigned to her by Li Shuci after arriving at the Li Mansion, what did Zhou's eyes mean? She remained silent and said, "Let's go, let's go back too." ”

An Qirong returned to the courtyard, intending to take a nap, so he ordered: "I want to rest for a while, you all go down first." ”

After Hongguoer and Liu Weaving went out, An Qirong got up from the couch and walked to the window, and heard Hongguoer say to Liu Weaving: "Good sister, I'm a little hungry and want to go to the kitchen to find some food, so I annoy my sister to help me watch it." I'll be back in a few moments. ”

Liu Zhi smiled and said: "The little hoof is not big, but the belly is not small. Go, I've got it. ”

Hongguo'er faced Liu Weaving Yifu and ran out of the door. Seeing this, An Qirong hurriedly called through the window, "Liu Weaving, go out and see where Hongguo'er is going." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but obediently walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at it, and came back to report: "Girl, Hongguo'er is going in the direction of the small kitchen." ”

"Hmm. I know. An Qirong returned to the couch and lay down in confusion, what did Zhou's eyes mean? Didn't she let her guard against Hongguo'er? Although she knew what happened in the big house, she didn't know that these things were all caused by Li Shuci, if she knew, she would definitely be able to see that Zhou was deliberately provoking her suspicions, but she didn't know that the dark tide in the big room and the third room was turbulent, so when she went to deliver the medicine to Zhou's in the afternoon, she still left Hongguo'er in the yard and took Liu Weaving out.

On March 15, before the monthly Liufang meeting began, Princess Anyang sent out invitations to invite the ladies to enjoy the flowers in spring.

Li Shuci took the post to An Qirong and said with a smile: "Aunt cousin, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, the first time you caught up with Princess Anyang to be the east, this Spring Festival banquet must be lively and interesting." ”

An Qirong smiled, but did not show his interest in this kind of gathering in the past, and said: "Ah Ci, I thought about it, or my mother is right, after all, I am older than you, and I am not from Beijing, I am afraid it is not good to go, if no one is willing to make friends with me, it will inevitably be embarrassing for you and me, I think I still won't go." What's more, it's Princess Zhang Luo's Spring Festival Banquet, I'm afraid it's too abrupt for me to go, what if I make the princess unhappy? ”

Li Shuci didn't expect her to say this, the reason is so sufficient, she can't even persuade me anymore, I thought about it, and had to say: "Since my cousin's mind has been decided, Ah Ci is not reluctant, today is only eleven, and there are still a few days, if my cousin changes her mind, come to me." ”

Liu Zhi sent Li Shuci out, and when he came back, he asked his girl suspiciously: "Girl, you have always liked to participate in such gatherings, why did you refuse such a good opportunity? Presumably, the daughters invited by the princess are the most prominent figures in the Beijing circle." ”

Liu Zhi has been with An Qirong for many years, so she naturally knows the temperament of her own girl, and she herself likes such a lively occasion very much. An Qirong glanced at her and said, "Think about it, although Ah Ci and I are relatives, we have never met, I heard that she has a cold temperament on weekdays, why is she suddenly so warm and enthusiastic about me......"

Liu Zhi said: "The girl has too much heart, I heard that the fifth girl attaches great importance to affection, is cold to outsiders, and it is common sense to be enthusiastic about her family." Since we came here, the five girls have taken the initiative to cover everything and everything, how could the girl have such a thought?"

An Qirong rubbed her eyebrows, "That being said, I'm still a little strange. ”

Liu Zhi has followed An Qirong for many years, and if there is a master, there must be a servant, and he dares to speak on weekdays, and persuaded: "I said that the girl should not miss such a good opportunity." If she can get the princess's blue eyes, what do you have to worry about the girl's relatives?"

"Little hoof, I don't know what you're thinking, I'm afraid you've been thinking about what flowers will be willow for a long time, I tell you, don't make trouble for me, girl, or I won't spare you." In the future, even if you marry with me, it will be in the palm of my hand. Is there a share you can choose?" An Qirong raised her eyebrows, squinting at the willow weave and said unceremoniously.

Liu Zhi's little face is white, and the dowry girl is used to fix her pet during her pregnancy, An Qirong marries well, and she is naturally good. When she lifts her aunt, she can be regarded as half a master, so she doesn't have to be angry with others here every day. Liu Weaving's eyelashes drooped, and she said aggrievedly: "What the girl said, Liu Weaving is not also for the good of the girl, I hope the girl can find a good uncle." ”

An Qirong didn't have much heart to handle Liu Weaving today, and only said: "Okay, I know your intentions." But let's do this first!" In fact, she was also very sorry in her heart, but think about what Zhou told her...... An Qirong said to Liu Zhi: "I won't go out these days, if someone asks, you will say that I am new to the city, and I am not used to the water and soil." ”

"Yes. Yanagiori looked surprised, but didn't say anything more.

Back at the Breeze Garden, Li Shuci sank his face. "What's going on? Why did An Qirong change her attention, people like her shouldn't miss such an opportunity to cling to and make friends. ”

Qingge said: "That day, Hongguoer said that An Qirong and Zhou's said a few words that were not painful or itchy in the Lingering Garden, and when they went to Zhou's prescription for headache treatment in the afternoon, they didn't bring Hongguo'er, and only brought Liu Weaving from Qindu Mansion together. Could it be that Hongguo'er showed her feet and made her suspicious of the girl?"

Li Shuci thought about it and shook his head: "Even if she doesn't believe in Hongguo, she won't delay her borrowing my hand to participate in the Spring Festival Banquet." Something must have happened between her and Zhou, or a deal. ”

Qingge said: "Is she still thinking about the third master? Isn't she not a concubine?"

"It was her aunt who resolutely disagreed with her marriage as a concubine, and her best choice was certainly not to be a concubine. But my father is different, my father has only learned people, has a good character, and is a favorite person around you. Although it is impossible for my aunt and grandmother to have this kind of thought, An Qirong may not have this thought. Li Shuci frowned, "The day you first came, didn't you see the way she looked at my father?"

Mu Yun sneered: "Why didn't you see it, she is a big girl, and her eyes are about to grow on the third master! How did this girl grow up?" Everyone in the room was speechless for a while. "Fortunately, the third master is not a person who values beauty, but we had better guard against it. ”

"The tolerance of the last time is not over, and my father will leave Beijing in a few days, so it is best to solve this matter during this time. Otherwise, if something is overlooked, the consequences will be unimaginable. "Li Weiqing in his previous life didn't pay attention to beauty, didn't he also fall into the Tao?
