The little maid opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect Ouyang Lingling to ask her name, since Ouyang Lingling was going to marry into King Zhao's Mansion, Ouyang Bao sent her to serve Ouyang Lingling closely. I don't know why, Ouyang Lingling doesn't like her, she can feel Ouyang Lingling's disgust.

"Slave, Qi'er." Qi'er said that her name was arbitrary, it was Ouyang Bao who gave it casually, and at that time, it was because Ouyang Lingling wrote a seven-step poem, which was named Shangchi, so Ouyang Bao gave this name to himself when he was happy.

So Qi'er has always felt that she is the person who Ouyang Lingling gave life, precisely because her name was married by Ouyang Bao himself, every time she sees her, Ouyang Bao will think of Ouyang Lingling, and teach her a little more, gradually, she has risen from a low-class maid to a first-class maid all of a sudden, this qiē is given by Ouyang Lingling, so when she heard that Ouyang Bao asked her to serve Ouyang Lingling, she was very happy, even if she wanted her to follow Ouyang Lingling to the palace to fight, she was not afraid.

"Qi'er?"

No matter how she looks at it, she is a maid appreciated by Ouyang Bao, otherwise she would not have sent her to marry with her to King Zhao's Mansion, but no matter how you look at this name, it doesn't look like the name of a first-class maid.

Qi'er nodded, as if she understood Ouyang Lingling's question, so she said: "The name Qi'er was given by Ouyang Guoshi, and at that time, Miss wrote a seven-step poem, which was named Shangchi, and the national teacher was happy for a while and rewarded this name to the slave maid. The national teacher really loves Miss, and everything he does is for Miss, and Miss must believe in Miss Guoshi. ”

It turned out to be like this, but I didn't expect Qi'er's name to come from her.

She didn't like Qi'er very much before, just because Ouyang Bao seemed to appreciate Qi'er very much, and she kept praising Qi'er in front of her, so she had that attitude towards Qi'er.

Ouyang Lingling is not very good to the maid, but this Qi'er is very kind to her, she didn't ask about many things, Qi'er already knows what she wants, it seems that it took a lot of thought to cultivate this maid's father.

"I understand, Qi'er, in the future, you follow me to Zhaowang's Mansion, our lives are connected, one day with me, I will definitely protect you, when I am good to people, I hope others will also be good to me, you know."

Ouyang Lingling is actually a person with a bad temper and a ruthless heart, and he has never donated blood on his hands, but he has been stained with a lot of lives.

This time she looked up to Qi'er, but for the first time, she was willing to open her heart to a maid and trust her.

Qi'er immediately kowtowed a few times, raised three fingers and swore an oath: "Qi'er promises not to do anything sorry for Miss, otherwise the sky will thunder and thunder, and he will never be able to live forever." Qi'er will be so good to Miss for the rest of his life. ”

"Okay, Qi'er, now you are my first-class maid, your words are my words, no one's face will be seen in the future, I will follow you." Ouyang Lingling assured.

The day before the wedding reception

Li Xin'er was preparing, and many mothers-in-law came in to teach her the rules, and at this moment, awe really appeared in their eyes, which was the awe of the master and servant.

"Miss Li."

A doctor walked in with an attendant, saw so many mothers-in-law, looked at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law said, "Oh, why did the doctor come so late, Miss Li still has a lot to do after drinking." ”

The attendant took out a bowl of medicinal soup from the box, and the mother-in-law immediately took it, walked up to Li Xin'er with the medicinal soup, and said, "Miss Li, hurry up and drink it while it's hot, and we'll continue to drink it after we finish it." ”

Li Xin'er stared at the bowl cautiously, looked at the normal faces of the mothers-in-law and asked, "What is this?" ”

The mothers-in-law were surprised: "Miss, don't you know? This is the soup of the child, every bride-to-be will drink a bowl of soup the night before the wedding banquet, and after drinking the flowers and bamboos in the cave house tomorrow, it is easy to suffer from children. ”

Li Xin'er looked at the maid beside her and asked, "Is there such a statement?" ”

"Yes, the other doctors are going to deliver medicinal soup to the other concubines." The doctor said.

"Cotton Cotton, you put it for me, go to that bit of dates, I'm afraid of bitterness."

Li Xin'er gestured to the red cotton, and the red cotton noded silently and walked out of the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm the most afraid of bitterness, I can't drink it without dates, please wait a while."

Li Xin'er said to the doctor with a smile, and asked the doctor to give him a stool to sit and wait, in the Shang country, the status of the doctor is as high as other officials.

"Mother-in-law, this late drink won't get in the way, right? Why don't we move on to the rest of the process? ”

Li Xin'er turned her head sideways and asked her mother-in-law who pulled her hair, and the mother-in-law was also very calm, not like there was a problem at all, as if this was really a process of the wedding banquet of Shangguo.

"Actually, it's not a big problem, the old slave will carry out this link for Miss Li first, and the next link will have to drink the medicinal soup to continue, otherwise it will be inconvenient."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she continued the work on her hands, her hand speed was very fast, she did it very seriously, and it was done at once, at this time the red cotton also came back, she held the dates in silk in her hand, handed it to Li Xin'er and said: "There are just these left in the small kitchen, and I used a lot of soup today, and the rest is that the people know that Miss will definitely drink the soup today, so I left it for you." ”

Li Xin'er understood the meaning of the red cotton, this is really such a custom, so Li Xin'er took it gratefully and said, "That subordinate left it for me?" He's also too kind, help me give him some broken silver, and I'll pay him back. ”

Li Xin'er picked up the bowl and drank it, at this time, there were several pairs of particularly sharp eyes staring at her, until she drank it completely, she ran out, the two went in different directions, one was to go to King Zhao's study, and the other was to go outside the mansion.

As soon as the process was completed, the mother-in-law left, leaving Li Xin'er in a daze in the mirror.

She looked at the delicate face in the mirror, her eyes as moving as autumn water, her small nose, and her pink lips, all of which attracted people's attention.

After waiting for so long, she finally waited for this day, although it was not what she wanted, just took the first step, she would slowly climb forward, believing that it would not be long before she would get what she wanted.

Tomorrow, many people will see her beautiful face, and many people must fall in love with her.

The Shang Kingdom is different from the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Great Zhou Kingdom is a phoenix crown, and the bride's appearance must be covered, only in the room is lifted by the husband, but it is different in the Shang Kingdom, they are particularly bold, and they think that good things should be shared with everyone, they don't mind that the bride's beauty is seen by so many people, but under the envy and jealousy of everyone, the groom feels more face-saving. So tomorrow, all the brides don't have to cover their appearance, at this time, it depends on the craftsmanship of the brides and maids, those who have good skills in Shangchi are hired with high salaries, so the business of Qin Siyu's shop is very good, and Li Xin'er also invited the technicians of the Longevity Pavilion to come over and make up this time.

King Zhao married so many side concubines, and the happiest person was Qin Siyu, his side concubines were all willing to spend money, and spent a lot of silver in her longevity hall. Qin Siyu only hopes that King Zhao can marry seven or eight every year. Qin Siyu has already decided to discuss with King Zhao when the time comes, and make a situation like the Great Zhou Kingdom, where he regularly chooses side concubines in every period.

On the day of the wedding

Marrying a side concubine in the Shang Kingdom does not need to ride a white horse to the side concubine's house to greet them, and the side concubines are greeted by the Yingbin team. King Zhao stood guard at the door very early, waiting to greet the side concubines.

The street in front of King Zhao's Mansion was already full of people, and only the middle path was vacated for the wedding sedan chair to pass by. All of a sudden, I heard the sound of tapping on the compass, and as a group of people in red clothes carried the six-person bridge, it turned over step by step.

Since he is marrying a side concubine, he can't use the eight-person bridge.

The leader is the wedding sedan chair of the Ouyang family, although it is not an eight-person sedan chair, but the sedan chair is extremely exquisite, which makes people unable to take their eyes off. Then there is Li Xin'er's sedan chair, Li Xin'er because she lives in the palace, but she can't go out of the palace when she is greeted, so she finds a place to stay for one night, and then welcomes her back to the palace from the accommodation.

Seven sedan chairs stopped outside King Zhao's mansion one after another, King Zhao kicked the sedan chair one by one, Ouyang Lingling heard the sound of kicking the sedan chair, her heart was beating, she waited for King Zhao to open the door curtain for her.

When King Zhao finished kicking the seventh sedan chair, he walked to the first sedan chair again, lifted the mat with one hand, stretched out his hand, Ouyang Lingling put his little hand on his hand, and looked at him affectionately, she believed that her makeup was beautiful enough today, but why didn't King Zhao look at her with a stunning expression, wasn't she beautiful enough?

"Cousin." Ouyang Lingling called softly, but he didn't expect King Zhao not only not to respond affectionately, but also to urge coldly: "Come out quickly, I still have to pick up Xin'er." ”

Ouyang Lingling's hand holding the red brocade silk burst out of green tendons, bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes converged, and obediently followed King Zhao out of the sedan chair.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, King Zhao couldn't wait to walk to Li Xin'er's sedan chair.

Li Xin'er stared at the red mat in front of her expectantly, a pair of slightly rough hands reached in, when the door curtain was opened, Li Xin'er smiled, King Zhao only felt his heart twitch, he had seen Li Xin'er many appearances, charming, delicate, shy, but he thought that she was the most beautiful now, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off, completely forgetting that there were still a few side concubines left, he only felt that now was his real marriage, and he was only forced to be with Qin Siyu, not at all, only now is he willing.

"Xin'er, you are so beautiful."

King Zhao couldn't help but spit out a few words, Li Xin'er's already pink cheeks were now even redder, and he glanced at King Zhao shyly, which made King Zhao's heart itch, and Li Xin'er's hands were tightly interlocked, leading Li Xin'er out of the sedan chair, and carefully took her to Ouyang Lingling's side, glanced at Ouyang Lingling inexplicably, and said seriously: "Stand here obediently, wait for me, come back soon, if there is anything, call me, I will be by your side as soon as possible." ”

This seemed to be said to Li Xin'er, but King Zhao's eyes kept staring at Ouyang Lingling, Ouyang Lingling pouted and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my sister." ”
