Although you are a concubine, you are of a higher rank than me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhu Yue said: "Don't tell anyone about Miss Guo looking for me." ”

Chang Shan hurriedly promised: "You can rest assured. I know what's at stake. Never say anything leaky. ”

The two of them walked towards the Emerald Lake.

The words of the Guo family girl reminded her that she had to find a way to avoid this disaster.

How?

She was thinking about things in her heart, so much so that she didn't listen to Chang Shan's words.

Chang Shan said: "Do you know where this river leads? ”

Zhu Yue was absent-minded and did not respond to Chang Shan's words in time.

Chang Shan said: "This river connects our house, I often come from Dongfu by boat, and your old lady is here with my mother this morning." ”

"Oh." Zhu Yue squeaked carelessly.

Chang Shan saw that she was not very interested, so he said, "Yi'an, what I said next, you must not think of it." ”

Seeing her pretentious appearance, Zhu Yue cooperated with her: "Tell me about it." I don't believe it, if you don't step out of the door, you will say something earth-shattering. ”

"Ahem," Chang Shan coughed lightly, clenched his hand into a fist, put it to his lips and said, "The Emerald River leads to the Liyuan Lotus Pond in your backyard." ”

Chang Shan's words came out, and Zhu Yu was startled.

How can it be!

Although Chang Shan had a joking tone, what she said was not all exaggeration, Chang Shan saw her suspicious expression, and said: "At least this water is the same as your back garden." It's all the same living water. ”

Zhu Yue hurriedly asked: "Then you can go back to our palace along this river?" ”

"Of course, I can't go directly to your house, but if you take a boat, you can go to a river near your backstreet, which is lined with people on both sides, and people often go there in the morning to do laundry, and I don't know the name of the river."

Zhu Yue was awe-inspiring.

Chang Shan really told her an extremely important thing.

Chang Shan's words also suggested that she had a way to deal with Guo Shangshu.

Guo Shangshu would never have thought of the waterway they took!

The Emerald Lake flows eastward, with open-top boats all the way unobstructed, not bumpy like horse-drawn carriages.

The old lady sat in the cabin and called Mrs. Chen, Zhu Yue and Shi Xi to accompany her to wipe the dominoes.

Lang Yue stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait that was constantly receding.

In fact, although the Emerald Lake of Nangong Mansion can lead to the outside, it is separated from the outside by a wall, and the river is blocked by a wooden gate, and the boats outside cannot reach Nangong Mansion.

Unless someone dives in.

But who would dare to dive into the heavily guarded Nangong Mansion?

If you want to cut off your head, you can sneak in and die.

When the old lady grabbed a good card and ranked her dominoes, she smiled and said, "Yi'an, thanks to your idea." Let's all sit here and play Pai Gow. I prefer to ride a boat rather than a horse-drawn carriage. ”

"Yes. Good by boat. Today's weather is good, the boat is stable on the water, and after the carriage, my bones will be scattered again. Aunt Chen echoed.

Shi Xi smiled and said: "Old lady, the township lord of Yi'an thought of making a boat for you." ”

The old lady smiled lightly, if it wasn't for Yi'an to think about her, she would have to rest for a whole day when she went back.

Zhu Yue felt a little reluctant.

Originally, I wanted to take a boat, but I was afraid that the old lady would not agree, but I didn't expect the old lady to answer, and Uncle Zhao immediately called someone to send a boat to the old lady.

Nangong Zhao watched the boat slowly disappear from his eyes on the pontoon bridge in Shui Fangxie before ordering someone to reclose the wooden door leading to the outside.

The old lady said, "Yi'an, how did you think of taking the waterway?" ”

Jokes aside, the old lady still wants to really understand Zhu Xuan's actual thoughts.

Zhu Yue took out a card and said, "Old lady, Yi'an just listened to Nangong Changshan say that their lake is connected to our Liyuan lotus pond. On a whim, I wanted to go by water. Yi'an hasn't been on a boat yet. ”

"Well, that's true. Old lady, we seven girls have never been on a boat until now, this is true. Aunt Chen said busily.

The old lady nodded: "Is it unsafe on land?" ”

Zhu Yue hurriedly said: "There is nothing to do." Yi'an just wants to easily walk the waterway with the old lady. ”

"I hope so." The old lady said and came out with five cylinders.

When the waiter saw it, he said, "The three five cylinders have been hit." Ahem, I'm confused with this card. ”

"You want five cylinders?" Aunt Chen asked with a smile.

Shixi pouted, "Yes." It's a pity that there is still one that can't be released. ”

The old lady's attention naturally returned to the cards, and said, "Monkey, do you really want five cylinders?" ”

"Of course. I'm playing this big card. It's a pity that the five cylinders are too late. Shixi said regretfully.

Zhu Yue touched the five cylinders in his hand and said, "I don't believe you really want it." As he spoke, he came out with the last unhit five-cylinder.

Shixi couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is what the girl wants to put herself." ”

"Of course." Zhu Yue smiled, "Are you really nonsense? ”

Shixi spread out the cards: "It's really nonsense." ”

The old lady counted the money for her, and Aunt Chen next to her sighed: "What the waiter said is true." The seven girls fell for the waiting's scheme. ”

"A family of twenty, this time the slave is gone." The waiter said happily.

The old lady really laughed at her short-sightedness, obviously she could have been a little later and won more.

Shixi won the money and was very happy.

There was a lot of talk along the way, and the cabin was full of laughter.

Zhu Yu smiled lightly.

It's worth the money.

Everyone is not afraid of being heard. Because there are only their boats in the lake, it is difficult for people to hear.

Aunt Chen smiled and said: "I saw several girls in their house who were good, especially the three girls who were like flowers and jade, talking with the lord of Yi'an in the courtyard in front of the mourning hall, and among them, the girl in the green gown was the most dignified and decent, and I couldn't remember whose girl it was at that time." If the family background is innocent, it is not bad to be a daughter-in-law for our fourth brother Ji. ”

The old lady looked at the card and smiled: "Fourth Brother Ji forget it." If you want to mention it, you should also say it to Zongwu. ”

Aunt Chen was overjoyed when she heard this: "It turns out that the old lady already knows it in her heart. The servant woman was still thinking that after the son married on the twenty-second of this month, it would be the turn of Fourth Brother Ji, but she didn't expect that the old lady had already fallen in love with Fourth Brother Ji. I don't know which girl it is? ”

Because Xie Yun's matter can't be put on the bright side yet. The old lady only said that it was too early now, and then asked who the girl Mrs. Chen saw was.

Aunt Chen was confused, "It seems that she is standing next to Mrs. Wei's niece." Wear green jackets. Of course, the Seventh Maiden has spoken to her. Oh yes, next to that girl stood the little girl of Mrs. Guo's mother's family. ”

The old lady nodded lightly, and after Aunt Chen's reminder, she also remembered the girl's appearance.

Although the appearance is not too beautiful, it is very dignified in temperament and attitude.

The old lady couldn't remember which one.

She was thoughtful.

Zhu Yue said: "Aunt Chen is not talking about Miss Cai, right?" ”

"Vegetable girl? Which dish? Aunt Chen herself was confused.

The old lady put down the card and smiled: "You old bones, you deliberately make me laugh, anyway, it's not a little cabbage." ”

The old lady's words made the people next to her laugh.

Zhu Yue hurriedly said: "I heard Chang Shan say that she is the granddaughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong. ”

The old lady nodded thoughtfully.

Aunt Chen said happily: "That vegetable girl is handsome, this year Gui Geng, did you say that your mother-in-law has it?" If you don't have the old lady's five grandchildren, you will be a secret match......"

This Aunt Chen is really, how to say it.

Zhu Xuan's face was slightly red, and then she shook her head: "She is twenty-five this year." ”

Aunt Chen jumped up in fright: "What! Who is twenty-five? ”

"It's this Miss Cai." Zhu Yue said, looking at the sudden change in Aunt Chen's attitude, she couldn't hold back the smile in her heart, "It's only eight years worse than the fifth brother." ”

The old lady flatly refused: "We are not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law who is eight years older. ”

Aunt Chen looked ashamed.

She looked at Zhu Yue: "Ah, this girl is so old!" Wouldn't you have talked about your in-laws? ”

Zhu Yue shook his head: "I don't know. It was Tsuneyama who said. She went to Nangong Mansion to see Uncle Zhao. ”

Aunt Chen was surprised.

It turned out to be for General Zhao's renewal!

At this point, she regretted what she had just said.

The old lady nodded and said, "There is indeed a lack of a lady in Nangong Mansion. But why couldn't our prince think of picking a girl of the same age from the Zhu family to Nangong Zhaoxuan? The Zhu family's country, the Nangong family has made great contributions. ”

"It's all about the edges of the eyes. According to the maidservant, don't worry, General Zhao's good conditions are not to be picked slowly, where is the turn of the girl of the Cai family. ”

This Aunt Chen!

One will praise others, and the other will say that others are not because of competition.

Zhu Yue nodded amusedly.

The old lady said, "Go back and remind me." In this matter, we have to make some efforts in this house, and it is better to find a girl from our own family than to find someone with a foreign surname. ”

Shi Xi smiled: "What the old lady said is that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

"The old lady is relieved. When you go back, the handmaid must be reminded. Aunt Chen said.

Everyone felt that time passed quickly.

But in the blink of an eye, the boat had already turned a corner and arrived at the river in the back street of Pingyang Lane, Kyoto.

After crossing the stone arch bridge across the river, the boat stopped at the pier.

When the people of King Pei's Mansion heard that the old lady had come back by boat, they had already put two soft sedan chairs waiting here.

When Zhu Yue accompanied the old lady back to the palace with a smile and a smile, Mrs. Guo stared at Zhu Yue with a pair of surprised eyes.

She couldn't wait to poke two holes in Zhu Yue's body.

Did her brother miss?

It's not like that.

If she missed, how could the old lady come back with a relaxed face, and act as if she had been very happy all the way and walked quite smoothly?

Mrs. Guo frowned. What the hell is going on?

Until she heard that Mrs. Ding sent a sedan chair to pick up the old lady at the dock, Mrs. Guo opened her mouth and actually took the waterway!

I never thought that the old lady would walk by water!

This must have been the little maid's idea.

Poor her brother's faction is still waiting for the arrival of the old lady and her party on the overland.

Apparently they pounced.

Mrs. Guo opened her mouth and looked at Zhu Xuan, who came back with the old lady, this concubine was too cunning.

It's just, how could she think of taking the waterway?

If it hadn't been for someone who had reported the news, how could she have remembered to take a boat instead of a carriage?

Mrs. Guo felt that someone had leaked the news.

She asked the people who followed the old lady to the place, whether the Yi'an township lord had come into contact with anyone in Nangong Mansion.

The subordinate thought for a while and said, "It's all in contact." They all spoke. There was also Mrs. Yan Wang who specially called the village lord to the garden to talk alone. As for what was said, the little one really doesn't know. ”

Mrs. Guo frowned and thought about it, what Mrs. Yan Wang said should be about the Zhao Mansion's proposal, and it had nothing to do with her brother's plan.

When I asked again, the man really didn't know.

Mrs. Guo was speechless, so she had to leave this matter behind her first.

If the plan fails, there is no time to pursue it, and the most important thing at the moment is another important matter.

Mrs. Guo personally made pastries, made tea, and served the old lady.

After drinking tea, the fatigue on the old lady's body was relieved a lot, and the fifth princess asked beside her, "Is Mrs. Wang's spirit buried?" ”

"Not yet, they're glamorous enough. Called seventy-seven forty-nine great monks to recite the scriptures day and night. The old lady finished her tea and put the cup on the table.

At this time, Mrs. Guo quietly took the teapot and poured tea for the old lady.

The old lady glanced at it, and her gaze fell back to the fifth princess, "Is there a woman in our family who is around twenty-five years old and has not yet married?" ”

Aunt Rong was stunned.

"Mother, you're not joking. Twenty-five didn't get married, I really can't think of one. Aunt Rong smiled.

Mrs. Guo, who was on the side, was also stunned.

I don't know what the old lady means.

"Old lady, why did you remember to ask this?" Mrs. Guo asked softly beside her.

The old lady's eyes drooped, and she pursed her lips silently, as if she was thinking about someone who was eligible.

Mrs. Chen explained to Mrs. Guo on behalf of the old lady: "The old lady is the one who sees that each family is presenting a continuation of the mystery to General Zhao, so she wants to choose one of the girls from her own family to go over and look at each other." If you can look at each other, it will also be beneficial to King Pei's Mansion. ”

When Aunt Rong heard this, she smiled, "Mother's abacus is sound." There is basically no one who can be the same age as General Zhao and is not married. But it's okay to be one round old apart. I don't believe that twenty-five of the girls I went there were unmarried. ”

Aunt Chen smiled proudly: "There really is one." ”

Mrs. Guo and the fifth princess were shocked, and said in unison: "Who?" ”

"The girl of the Cai family." As if announcing a happy event, Aunt Chen smiled incredulously and proudly in her eyes.

Aunt Chen finally raised her eyebrows.

The embarrassment of Fang Cai in the cabin was transferred to Mrs. Guo and the fifth princess.

Sure enough, when the two of them heard this, they were taken aback, "How is it possible!" ”

"That's just the way it is. However, the girl of the Cai family has a tender face, and if she doesn't ask her age, she thinks she is fifteen. Aunt Chen said again, "So the old lady also wants to find a suitable candidate from her own surname and look at General Zhao." ”

Mrs. Guo glanced at the old lady and did not dare to speak.

Her mother's family sent her three nieces to Nangong Mansion by her cousin.

Mrs. Guo had concealed the old lady before.

The old lady probably also knew that her mother's family had sent someone, so it was better to bring it up as a normal matter, so as to cover it up for herself deliberately concealed. )
