In the evening of this day, Shi Guogong Shi Rongyuan got off the sedan chair and did not go straight to the Diexiang Courtyard to find the third aunt as usual, but came directly to Mrs. Shi's Ruixiang Courtyard.

Mrs. Shi, who heard the maid's report, hooked the corners of her mouth. Although he sneered in his heart, he didn't take it big on his face. She made up in front of the mirror, and was embraced by two big girls, opened the curtain and greeted her personally.

Mother Wu was also busy ordering behind her: "Zitong, go to the kitchen and bring the prepared mung bean and barley porridge." It's hot outside, relieve the heat for the master. Ziyu, ordered to go down and prepare for dinner. ”

The two big girls hurriedly took the order.

Shi Rongyuan strode in, let Mrs. Shi serve and took off her official clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and sat down on the large square chair where he used to sit outside.

Mrs. Shi poured a cup of warm tea and handed it over, saying, "The third sister is not in good health today. She said the word "again" very cleverly, and Shi Rongyuan frowned when he heard it.

Mrs. Shi continued: "I asked Xia Luo to send the mountain ginseng health pills, and I don't know if it's better now. If the old man goes to the Diexiang Courtyard for a while, he should comfort his sister and let her not always think about the past, worrying will hurt her body. ”

Her words can be described as full of irony. Why can't Shi Rongyuan hear it? He came to Ruixiangyuan today, didn't he just hide from that beauty?

Some time ago, when I heard that the princess of Jinnan County had an unexpected miscarriage, she shouted that she wanted to go back to the palace of Jinnan County to visit. How could Mrs. Shi agree? If she wants to go, it will also be her as a duchess of the country, and what does it matter to her aunt. As the aunt of the Guogong Mansion, Jian Liu should not have left the mansion, let alone went to the county king's mansion. If it's accurate, I don't know how to laugh at the Guogong Mansion outside: holding the cheap maids of the county king's mansion as aunts, isn't this a clear way to pat the county king's mansion.

The king of Jinnan County, although he is the king of the county, is actually only a distant branch of the clan. Their ancestors relied on whiskers and horses to get the title of county king, which "benefited" their descendants. On weekdays, it's okay to respect the name of this "county king". Slap them on the back? The Guogong Mansion can't afford to lose this person!

No matter how bad Shi Guogong is, he will not fail to understand the truth in this. So when Jian Liu begged him, he also refused.

The cut willow said that the illness was also related to this incident.

was ridiculed by Mrs. Shi for a while, and Shi Rongyuan had a sneer on his face. Hurriedly took Mrs. 's hand and said that he would not go anywhere tonight, so he would stay in Ruixiang Courtyard.

Mrs. Shi sneered, but the corners of her mouth were full of pride.

"Why did the master come back so late today, but what's the matter with the court?"

The topic was torn apart, Shi Rongyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, took a cup of warm tea from his wife's hand, drank it in two sips, and then said bitter water: "Hey, don't mention it." The draft, which was originally scheduled for next month, is yellow! The emperor said that the venue a while ago was unlucky, and the draft was deliberately suspended. The DPRK and China are divided into two factions over this, and they have been at loggerheads for a long time. It's annoying. "Isn't it, the matter of choosing a wife has nothing to do with those ministers. No matter how beautiful you choose, you can't run on your own kang. Thinking about it, Shi Rongyuan glanced at his "tigress" with some dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Shi didn't notice it, but asked in surprise, "Suspended?" Doesn't it mean that the emperor's heirs are thin, and the back seat is vacant, so this time the harem will be expanded? Because of this, the families in Kyoto who intend to send women to the palace have been busy for more than half a year. Because of a ground movement, this is yellow? But it's decided? ”

"Naturally, it's decided. The emperor has this heart, how can there be an uncertaintie. It's okay now, I don't know how many people want the bamboo basket to fetch water! ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other and thought of each other: the Ning family.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that Ning Yun, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, is the "seed player" of this draft and is deeply loved by the queen mother of the current dynasty. It is rumored outside that Ning Yun is the candidate who has been decided by the Queen Mother.

This draft was suspended, and the one who lost the most belonged to the Ning family.

"And guess what? When the slave and maid heard that the earth had moved a few days before, they had shocked the holy driver. The emperor said that it was unlucky, so he postponed the draft. Cai Yue looked at a pair of eyes and said, "According to the rules, our Great Zhou Dynasty royal draft is as short as three years and as long as five years." With this drag, Miss Ning Jiabiao will have to be dragged from thirteen to seventeen or eighteen. When the time comes, she will become an old girl, and what will she compare with those young flowers and young leaves. Isn't this a good thing that will come in hand right away? ”

Ning Yun was lying on the couch in the hugging building, and when she listened to Caiyue's return to this, she sneered in her heart: Why is it so easy to disappear?

The draft dragged on for three or five years, and if she became a daughter from another family, I am afraid that she would have to dispel the idea of entering the palace. But if it were the Ning family, it would be uncertain. Ning Xiangguo's "ambition", others may not know, but she Ning Yun is very clear: in order to let her enter the palace over the years, her father has worked hard. Not to mention how many female officials were invited by Ning Yunqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, even the grandmothers who taught her court etiquette and inner palace fighting methods have also changed one stubble. The father took such painstaking efforts, how could he give up so lightly, I am afraid that if it drags on for a few more years, he will have a way to let his daughter enter the palace.

Ning Yun suddenly thought: If his father found out now that his daughter, who had been carefully raised for so many years, had changed a soul in her shell, what would he be in a hurry? It's good to be in a hurry, Ning Xiangguo, who has been strategizing, should also have an anxious day. Thinking of this, the boredom in Ning Yun's heart was swept away, and she even ate a few more bites of lunch.

At present, under the management of Ning Yun, the new master, the Moxiang Academy is gradually becoming formal and orderly. Of the five maids sent by Mrs. Shi, three were returned, leaving only two second-class maids - Xia Zhu and Xia Ye. Although the second-class maid is more decent than the third-class maid, and the work is easier, it is not like the third-class maid, which can directly touch all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Ning Yun deliberately arranged it this way, just to prevent someone from hitting her attention on food.

Moreover, Ning Yun was promoted to the sister of the jade hairpin, the jade pendant as a second-class maid. Jade Pendant is innocent and lively, smart and active, and does his work, but he is not ambiguous at all, and he sees Xia Zhu and Xia Ye to death, and he can't tolerate them to have a little movement.

The only thing that made Ning Yun a little worried was the old lady who couldn't go back. This person's surname is Tian, and he is an old man of the Shi family. doesn't talk much, rarely goes to Ning Yun to beg for disgust, and after a few days, he is honest. However, Ning Yun always felt that it was a little strange for Mrs. Shi to send such a person over. If it is said that in order to let Mama Tian be the housekeeper of Moxiang Courtyard, it is not like Ning Yun's actions, because this Mama Tian is too old, and it is not suitable to be a housekeeper and other errands.

Ning Yun didn't dare to be careless, so she had to let the jade pendant pay more attention to it, for fear that something strange would happen to her.

First arrange all the things around you, and then enjoy the days of basking in the sun and flipping through books alone, this is Ning Yun's favorite lifestyle. Although sometimes a few annoying flies will run out, it doesn't hinder her mood at all, it's just that she has an extra fly swatter in her hand, and those who dare to come will be swatted to death.

There was one person she kept avoiding and couldn't think about, but she still couldn't dodge. They have never met, but they are destined to be close. Every time she thought of this, Ning Yun felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

I hope that "well water does not interfere with river water", this is the most ideal mode of getting along in Ning Yun's heart.

****

In the middle of Kyoto's busiest West Hogan Street, a distinguished guest is welcomed in the painting room with a plaque of "Rakukageken".

The person who came was a man. He has a long figure, wearing an ink-colored satin robe, the silver dark lines on the neckline are looming, and the skin is more and more white like jade, the bridge of his nose is straight, his eyes are like ink, no matter from which angle, he is a handsome and picturesque "good skin".

The boss of Luoying Xuan, the shopkeeper Chu, was already waiting at the door, and called the young man "Brother Pei".

There is a big difference in age between the two, but there is no sense of disobedience in this name, as if this man was born to be respected like this.

The man answered, and stepped directly into the inner room of Luoyingxuan, where there was already a small person dressed as a small person waiting.

"Young Master...... That, that......"

The little guy stammered for a long time, and finally was swept away by the master's cold eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered what he wanted to say.

"She sent people back?" The man squinted his eyes and groaned for a long time, his inky black eyes shining like a hunter:

"Good, good." Things are starting to look different. Could it be that he married back not the same person he once was?

For the first time, he couldn't wait to go back and find out.
