No one talked much about the fire in the middle hall and the disobedience and murder of General Zhendong, as if they had been discussed together. Youyi is a little girl, and she can't hear the slightest rumor.

Three days later, the brigade rose back to the capital. As soon as Youyi returned home, she was called to the study by the eldest master of the Jin family. Although this Jin Zhenye has no say in the court, at least the direction of the wind must be known. He heard that something terrible had happened in the hunting ground, and he was worried that he could not find out the exact news.

Youyi did not hide it, and told what she knew, but did not contain her own speculation. She knew very well in her heart that what she could know was certainly not a secret.

"General Zhendong just died?" When Jin Zhenye heard the inside story, he was obviously very surprised. General Na Zhendong has an army of 100,000 and is the overlord of the shock side, equivalent to a vassal king. The emperor is not afraid that his subordinates will rebel in the name of avenging him? Don't be afraid that the eastern Fanbang will take the opportunity to mess up the frontier, and Dayu will fall into internal and external troubles from then on?

Moreover, General Zhendong has been an official in the court for many years, and although he is not resident in the capital, he also has his own forces in the court. These people didn't dare to go against the emperor openly, but they couldn't make any small moves. When the time comes, it will be impossible to prevent it, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong.

Wrong! The emperor is not such a reckless person, he must have had a perfect strategy before. I heard from Youyi that the emperor had sent someone to the east to clean up the mess, and this person had already been sent, and the team returned to the capital three days later. If someone really colludes with Dongfang or Fanbang, then it will be too late to send the news out at this time.

Even if it is in time, as long as the emperor has made arrangements before, it is still easy to intercept one or two letters. If you follow the vine, you can also find out who leaked the news.

Kim Zhenye frowned, premoniting that there would be a big storm coming from the DPRK and China. General Zhendong's violent death is just the beginning, and I don't know what will happen next.

"You've been with the merchant girl a lot, and you've come back from the courtyard, so you haven't heard anything else?" patted his chest and said that Jin Zhenye didn't care much about his concubine. Especially whenever Aunt Cui has an accident, he will disgust the mother and daughter together. Otherwise, he couldn't agree with the eldest lady to send the young lady to the grange to suffer because of a little thing.

But since Youyi came back from the grange, the successive events made him look at his concubine with admiration. Especially the old lady took Youyi to her side to raise her, which was even more unexpected to him. He gradually discovered that there was a restrained light on Youyi's body, like a dusty pearl, which would eventually bloom after wiping.

As he expected, Youyi successively got acquainted with Boss Wang of the Splendid Pavilion and the second girl of the merchant, all of whom were of great help to the Jin family. If you go to Huizhou to visit relatives, you can even do great things, and even the emperor has given you a plaque, which is the glory of the ancestors of the Jin family for several lifetimes!

Only the royal family and nobles can participate in the autumn hunt, and Youyi also went. Although he went in the name of a merchant girl, he was able to see the emperor's face. Besides, staying in the hunting ground for a month, every day with the princess, nobles, and ladies of the command to look down and not look up, if you are good at using it, how wide and how many connections you have!

In the days when Youyi left, Jin Zhenye smiled every day, feeling that his future was bright, and the Jin family was destined to be brilliant in his hands. He was anxious to inquire about the hunting grounds, and when he heard that it seemed to be on fire, he was more anxious than anyone else.

Seeing Youyi's safe return, his heart relaxed a little. Youyi can't make a mistake, and now she is the first important person in the Jin family!

When Youyi heard this, she immediately said: "My daughter told her father the truth about everything she knew, and the same will be true if she hears anything in the future." ”

"Good daughter, no wonder your grandmother often praises you." Jin Zhenye replied with a smile, "I'll tell Mrs. Sù to make you a few new clothes and a new set of jewelry, so that you don't shrink back when you go out to socialize." Although our family is not very rich, it is not impossible to take out this bit of silver. In the future, if you need anything, just talk to your wife, if your wife doesn't allow you to go directly to your father. ”

"Thank you, father. It's just that there are many sisters in the family, and I am the only one who has them, and they don't, and my daughter is not comfortable with it, and it will hurt the harmony between the sisters. Moreover, the daughter found that those noble ladies did not wear gold and silver very much, and they paid attention to the momentum that emanated from the inside out. The clothes are simple and low-key, but people dare not underestimate them. "The more people who have low self-esteem and feel that their background is too low, the more they will use the guò to cover up.

In the last life, when Youyi was an aunt, she couldn't wait to wear all the most expensive jewelry on her body every time she went out. Now that I think about it, I really can't get on the table.

Hearing her words, Jin Zhenye nodded with a smile. Knowing the rules of advance and retreat, not being pampered and arrogant, this kind of heart is really rare. If she is a man, no, even if she is a concubine, she has her own world.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhenye had a trace of pity for this daughter for the first time. He took a step forward and reached out to touch Youyi's head. But before he could raise his hand, he heard movement outside.

"Father, are you in there?" It was Yuyi's voice.

Kim Jinye let her in and saw her holding a tray in her hand.

"Oh, the sixth sister is too." Yuyi smiled and put down the tray, "This is my own stewed pear Chuanbei, my father has been coughing a lot these days, and it can be more comfortable to drink it." As he spoke, he brought out a bowl with his own hands.

Jin Zhenye took a sip and nodded with satisfaction, "There are people in the kitchen, don't do such things yourself in the future." It is virtuous for the girl's family to be able to wash her hands and spoon when she marries, but she is the daughter-in-law of a poor family, and the girl of my Jin family does not need to be like this. ”

"That's what my father taught." Yuyi hurriedly replied, "It's just that this soup has a piece of my daughter's heart, I wish my father eternal health, and it will only be effective if I do it myself." ”

"Everyone is so filial, which really makes my father feel very relieved and happy." He looked at the two daughters in the room, and his smile deepened.

Jin Zhenye finished drinking the soup and told the two to go down and rest. The two sisters went out of the outer study one after the other, and Yuyi handed the tray in her hand to Baoqin.

"My sister came to my father's place when she came back from the other courtyard, and she hasn't had time to go back to rest yet, right?"

Youyi nodded, "I originally planned to meet the old lady and the lady first, and then meet the sisters, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest sister in my father's study." Youyi knew that not everyone could enter her father's study casually, and she could see from Guò's actions today that her father really liked and valued Yuyi.

"The sixth sister went to the hunting ground, and we didn't get any news, but I heard that there was a fire over there. Not to mention grandmothers, fathers, and mothers, but all of us sisters have trouble sleeping. My father didn't sleep well for several nights, and he coughed in the middle of the night. "Yuyi's words have always been leaky, so thoughtful that people can't pick the bones in the eggs.

Youyi pursed her lips and smiled, she lived a new life, and she slipped through life and death two or three times, and she could see more and more. It turned out that she was holding the idea that if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if someone offends me, I will punish him, because she has been forced to have no way out; Now, she is proud, if someone takes a step back, because she has enough.

She finally understood that people sometimes tolerate generosity not only because of their hearts, but also because of contempt and disdain. When she was just reborn, she used to regard Yuyi as the biggest enemy in this life, and she couldn't wait to see Yuyi deflated, frustrated, and even had the idea of ruining Yuyi's reputation. After a lot of passing, her horizons widened, and then looking at Yuyi's every move, she actually felt ridiculous.

Just let Yuyi jump and see what means she can have! But it's all dirty things that can't be put on the table, and I already know it!

"The sixth sister has been gone for a month, and we all miss it very much. I'm going to send someone to your sisters to deliver the post, and tomorrow our sisters will have a good time. "Yuyi went to Zhang Luo to gather, Youyi first went to the East Cross Courtyard to meet the old lady.

The old lady was very happy to see Youyi, asked her to sit beside her, took her hand and looked at it carefully.

"I've lost weight, and I've grown taller." The old lady nodded and said, "It's just that it's basking in the sun, and I have a good balm here, and it will be white in a few days." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Youyi felt a little warm in her heart when she heard this, if there were people in this house who cared about her, except for Aunt Cui's mother and son, she would be an old lady. Her father, who valued interests and prospects above Tarzan, couldn't wait to ask about what happened in the hunting ground as soon as they met, and didn't mention anything else. It's the old lady, a simple sentence made Youyi feel truly caring.

Before, the old lady raised Youyi under her knees, firstly, because she saw her well-behaved and filial, and secondly, because there was a high-ranking monk who gave her an order, saying that Youyi Huiwang's family was a noble person of the Jin family. After getting along for so long, she really likes this granddaughter. Especially in the month that Youyi left, she felt uncomfortable, and felt that Youyi knew her temperament and preferences and waited for her best.

She also had a lot of questions in her heart, but she still wanted Youyi to take a break. When the person comes back intact, everything else can be said slowly.

"Go and greet your wife, I have already ordered someone to boil water. Take a good bath and get a good night's sleep. It's not as comfortable anywhere as at home, especially when you're alone outside. "The old lady knows that Youyi loves cleanliness, and she likes to take a bath every day even in winter.

Youyi got up and went to the eldest wife's courtyard, and it happened that the second wife, the third wife, and Aunt Li were all there.

The eldest lady is naturally caring, soft-spoken, and kind. She rarely mentioned that she wanted to make clothes and jewelry for Youyi alone.

"There is more than one sister in the family, and every piece of paper has to go through the accounts of the public middle school. It stands to reason that there is no reason to make clothes and jewelry for anyone alone, but you often socialize with the young lady of the family, and you can't let people look at it as unorthodox. The rules can't be broken, the money has to be spent, and the money came out of my private money. The eldest lady said to the crowd with a smile.

The second wife said with a smile when she heard this: "Sister-in-law is thoughtful in her work, so people can't find the slightest mistake." If it were me, such a big family, there would be endless chores all day long, and I would probably have to cry in front of the old lady. ”

The eldest lady laughed and said nothing, but secretly said in her heart: I'm afraid that who doesn't know that she has a deep relationship with the old lady, and she is going to be stabbed again after a while! This time I am saying it on the bright side, otherwise I may not know how to chew the root of my tongue behind my back.

"It's still a sister-in-law with a thick foundation, if it were me, even if she had a heart to pity the girls, she wouldn't be able to take out so much silver!" The third lady took a sip of tea and said, she also has two daughters under her knees, doesn't the eldest lady behave like this to show that she is too mean to the concubine? It's just that the old lady asked to go over to raise her for a few days, and she made a few friends who don't know if she can help the Jin family, how can she be worthy of such a promotion by the eldest lady? It's not the eldest lady who crawled out of her belly, and she can't keep the tiger in trouble! This big lady looks shrewd, but in fact, it is nothing more than that!

Hearing this, Youyi also replied with a smile: "My wife prefers me, and I understand it in my heart, and I am very moved. There is no need to make any more clothes and jewelry.

First, there have always been rules in the house, the same daughter, Mrs. is out of pocket for this today, and will make up for that tomorrow, which is not a small amount in total, and can't start with me.

The second is that the girls of our Jin family have always been rich, and the clothes made in the seasons on weekdays are gorgeous enough, and every set is beautiful when worn out.

Third, although the girls also discuss dressing together, they secretly compare more temperament, manners, and so on. Our family has a mother, and the reputation of the eldest sister is well-known among the nobles of the capital, although I am almost there, I am not enough to make them laugh. ”

Aunt Li, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but smile comfortably when she heard this, and the smile in the eldest lady's eyes became more and more serious. Youyi's words flattered the eldest lady and Aunt Li, and saved the eldest lady from breaking the bank, how could they not be happy?

"You boy has always been a sensible man, and I just got a good piece of cloth here. The color is fresh and tender, just right for you to make clothes. As he spoke, let the girl fetch it.

Youyi thanked her, got the fabric and returned to the East Cross Courtyard. The girl and the mother-in-law made the bath water, and Youyi took off her clothes and lay inside.

Chunhua served on the side, wrung a towel and said, "The slave took off the jade pendant around the girl's neck, and put it on when it was washed." ”

Jade pendant? Youyi opened her eyes, and then remembered that she had worn the jade pendant with a red rope and hung it around her neck. She grabbed the jade pendant with her hand, and a wave of warmth spread in the palm of her hand.

In front of him, Hao Lianjue's face appeared. From the chance encounter in Qingyan Temple, to the reunion in Huizhou, to the day and night in the hunting ground, get along in the same room, especially Hao Lianjue jumped out of the window in the middle of the night to say goodbye......

I don't know why, Hao Lianjue's every move, word and deed, she still remembers it vividly. Especially Hao Lianjue's final confession, now that I think about it, it still makes Youyi blush and heartbeat.

She has lived two lives, but the first time a man confesses to herself, it is a lie to be unmoved. But she knows very well that the gap between herself and Hao Lianjue is insurmountable. What about temptation, what about fate? Who can escape fate? She asked herself if she didn't have that kind of good fate! Nor will they pin their hopes on the ethereal.

Living a down-to-earth life, although it is boring, is inevitably a stagnant water, after all, you can live a stable life. Hao Lianjue went to the east, and it was difficult to come back for a year and a half. When the time comes, I will marry my in-laws, and I am afraid that there will be no intersection in this life. All this qiē will become a good memory, just think of it as a dream.

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Chunhua didn't dare to disturb, and gently rubbed her back.

After a while, Youyi ordered softly: "You go to the Pingnan Palace, find someone named Hao Jian, and give him this jade pendant." You just said that his master asked me to keep it, and now it's back to Zhao! ”

Chunhua agreed, and carefully wrapped the jade pendant with a clean cloth. Although she can't say that she is famous, she can also see that this jade pendant is not an ordinary thing. There are so many masters in the Jin Mansion, including the old lady, and no one has ever worn jade of such color.

Hearing the words Pingnan Wangfu again, she couldn't help but think of Hao Lianjue. The master didn't take anyone with her on this trip to the hunting ground, and she didn't know what the master had experienced. It seems that it has an intersection with that Hao Gongzi, and it is not ordinary. But she only has one attitude, that is, the master's orders must be carried out absolutely!

Chunhua is not the most clever among girls, but she has a loyal heart. is so loyal that he is a little stubborn, and there is only one master in his eyes and heart, and everyone else is behind. She never thinks about her master's thoughts, and she keeps her mouth tight, and she doesn't talk nonsense behind her back. So if there are any private things, Youyi has always sent her to do it.

Don't look at her honest and doesn't like words, but she is not a timid and cowardly person. I will not say a word less than what needs to be said. It's safe, and it's never been smashed.

If other girls heard that they were going to the palace to do business, and they had to find someone they had never met, they would be nervous. But Chunhua was so bent on doing her master's errand that she didn't have any other ideas.

She slipped out of the back door of the Jin Mansion and pretended to go to the Wang Mansion for her master. Everyone knows that Youyi and Wei Ru are good sisters, and the two of them occasionally send girls back and forth, so the people in the Jin Mansion don't go to their hearts.

Chunhua went all the way east out of the Golden Mansion, and after a few streets, she saw a magnificent mansion. There are two grinning stone lions squatting at the door, five gatehouses are carved and painted, and there are several large benches under the corridor, on which are sitting a few well-dressed uncles, who are talking and drinking tea.

She bowed over and asked, "Dare to ask all the masters, is there a person named Hao Jian in the house?" ”

When they heard this, they all looked at her, and their eyes looked her up and down.

"Where are you a girl in the house, why do you call our big butler by his name?" One of them asked.

Chunhua came alone, and although she was neatly dressed, she was not gorgeous after all. Besides, she is five big and three thick, and she doesn't have the delicate appearance of a girl at all. At the door, these are the people who are ushered in and sent all the year round, and they are the most likely to guess the identity of the visitor.

When they saw that although Chunhua looked vulgar, she was not embarrassed at all, and dared to call the big housekeeper by her name, so they didn't dare to be too contemptuous.

"You don't care which house I'm from, I'll look for Hao Jian. Please let me know if you have a report, I thank you here. Chunhua has been by Youyi's side for a long time, and she has been somewhat tainted, and she has revealed a bit of aura when she speaks with a straight face.

These errand runners outside didn't dare to be sloppy, so Chunhua waited for a while and hurried in to return.

Occasionally, people pass by at the door, and Chunhua stands next to the wall in an inconspicuous place. After a while, a man in his forties came out of it, wearing quite ordinary clothes, shoes and hats. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, sharp eyes, steady steps and a steady breath, and he should be a person who knows some kung fu.

As soon as he came out, all the people who had been sitting on the big stool drinking tea and chatting stood up. They all accompanied the smiling faces, nodded and saluted, "Hello housekeeper." ”

"It's okay to get together! Move these stools inside, so that you don't see them from afar, and think that our palace is raising idlers. He had the majesty of not being angry but dangerous, and his voice was not high but terrifying.

Those people hurriedly moved the stool, he searched for the door, and when he saw Chunhua, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

It is said that the master is big and the slave is big, and the big housekeeper of this palace is enough. Seeing this, Chunhua stepped forward and said without humility or arrogance: "Hao Jian? ”

The people next to him all looked sideways when they heard this, and there were really not many people who dared to call the chief manager by his name like this. Those who come to the door and walk the door see it, and they must be honored as the general manager, and they must pay some smiles. This girl looked inconspicuous, and didn't know what it was, but she dared to talk to the chief manager like this.

Chunhua didn't mean the slightest disrespect in her heart, she just wanted to reconfirm the identity of the person in front of her. The jade pendant in her hand is worth a lot of money, but she can't give it to the wrong person. The girl gave her important things, and she had to get them done.

Hao Jian smiled when he heard this, "I am Hao Jian, what advice does the girl have?" ”

He has been the steward of this palace for more than 20 years, and he has experienced a lot of things and met many people during this period. When it comes to observing words and feelings, and gaining insight into people's hearts, he thinks he is a little good at it. Some of the people who came to the palace were cautious and submissive, some were blindly flattering, and some were high-ranking and domineering, and it was the first time he had encountered a character like Chunhua.

He thought this little girl was very interesting, and he didn't despise Chunhua because she looked vulgar.

"Hello, Mr. Hao." Chunhua confirmed his identity, and then gave a salute, "My girl asked me to hand over this thing to the manager, and ask the manager to hand it over to Hao Gongzi." As he spoke, he pulled out an object from his bosom.

The small cotton cloth was tightly wrapped, and a piece of jade pendant was placed inside when it was opened. Seeing this, Hao Jian frowned, and hurriedly held the jade pendant in his hand, "May I ask what is your girl's surname?" ”

"Kim." Spring flowers returned, "Northeast Hutong Jinfu." ”

Hao Jian's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he invited Chunhua to come in and talk, and brought her into the east gatehouse.

"The young master explained before leaving, if Miss Jin needs anything, just give orders, it should be the young master's order." Hao Jian lowered his voice and said, "It's just that this jade pendant is the young master's personal thing, since I don't dare to accept it from the girl!" ”

Something close to you? Chunhua was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "I don't know about this, my girl said that this is what your young master temporarily put in the hands of the girl, and now it is all back to Zhao." ”

"Now that the young master is not in the mansion, please ask the girl to keep it and wait for the young master to come back!" Hao Jian insisted on not accepting it, and Chunhua had to put it away again.

Hao Jian once again told that if Youyi had anything to do, he must be very attentive. When he saw Chunhua walking alone, he asked people to prepare the carriage. Chunhua hurriedly refused, she didn't dare to sit in the carriage of the palace to swagger through the city.

The errand was not done well, and the whereabouts were leaked again, and it became more and more impossible to explain when I went back. Seeing Chunhua leave, Hao Jian turned his head and instructed the doorman that if this girl came to find him in the future, he must be cleared immediately.

The doorman naturally agreed, and when they saw that the chief manager personally welcomed people in and sent them out in person, they had already muttered in their hearts. There is also a lot of speculation about Chunhua's identity, but I don't dare to say it. No wonder the little girl spoke so impulsively, it turned out that she had some origins, but I don't know where she came from.

How did Chunhua know that she had brought so much speculation to the people of Wangfumen, and she was only annoyed in her heart that she had not done what the girl had explained. When she returned to the Jin Mansion, she took out the jade pendant and handed it to Youyi, and returned Hao Jian's words.

"Forget it, I've already guessed it." Hearing that Hao Jian turned out to be the chief housekeeper of the palace, Youyi expected the result. Can you be the head of the palace, is it an ordinary person? How could he take the jade pendant so lightly? It seems that this jade pendant will be kept in his hands for a while, and he will return it when he sees Hao Lianjue.

As soon as Youyi put away the jade pendant, she heard movement outside. It turned out that the An family sent someone to deliver something, and the person was on the old lady's side, and the old lady invited her over.

What do you give away every year? Youyi hurried over, and as soon as she arrived at the porch, she heard laughter coming from inside. When the girl saw her hurriedly open the curtain, she stepped in, and at a glance saw a small cage on the ground, which contained a cute little fox.

It was snow-white, a small cowardly mass cowering in a corner, and its eyes showed fear and pleading. Youyi relented, and said as she walked over: "Why is the little thing that hurts people so painful locked in a cage?" "The girls of the big families in this capital have dogs and cats, and they have never seen anyone raise a little fox, where did it come from?

"If you like it." Yuyi replied with a smile, "It seems that this gift was given to the right person, and they all think it is scary." ”

"Sent me? Who sent it? Hearing this, Youyi squatted down happily, opened the cage, and took the little fox out and hugged it in her arms.

The little fox was not afraid of her, and arched into her arms. It doesn't smell weird, it should have been washed before.

"You girl is bold enough to dare to hold anything, be careful of it biting. No matter what, it's a wild thing, no matter how small it is, it's wild! The old lady hurriedly said.

The old lady standing next to her said with a smile on her face: "The old lady can rest assured, our young master has been raising it for a few days, and seeing that this little thing has a gentle temperament and never bites, he ordered the old slave to send it to the young girl." ”

Only then did Youyi notice the outsiders in the house, and she still knew the one who spoke, and it was a housekeeper of the An family. So, did this little fox come from Anjiahe, or did he give it to himself by name?

Thinking of this, she glanced at Yuyi, and she couldn't see anything in her expression, but the jealousy that flashed in Yuyi's eyes was still captured by her.

T
