Xu is Qianning's words worked, and one day, after Chen Yong and his wife stayed in the old marquis's room for a long time, they rarely came to the door. It seems that the whirlpool of politics has moved away from the Hou Mansion again, and half of Qianning's heart can be regarded as returning to its original place.

Concubine Rong in the palace was ill and announced that Princess An would visit the palace. Song Yi just took the opportunity to follow into the palace.

Lilian has always liked this cousin, and every time Song Yi enters the palace, she pesters him to play, and this time is no exception. Concubine Rong knew that her daughter had a deep relationship with Song Yi, so she asked her to go out with Song Yi after a few words.

"Cousin Yi, this network is so novel? Where did you buy it? The jade ornament hung on the dark blue belt, which was very conspicuous, and Lilian could see it at a glance.

Song Yi wanted this effect, took it off and handed it to Lilian, "This is a new product from Yininglou, I accompanied the third sister and the fourth sister to buy something a few days ago, and I just saw it and bought it." ”

Lilian carefully looked at the exquisitely carved jade pendant and the pattern of the rope, and said: "This piece of jade, transparent and round, the color is excellent at a glance, and then there is this delicately woven rope as the base, it is really elegant." Surely it's worth a lot of money, right? ”

Concubine Rong is favored in the palace, and Lilian is a princess in the palm of her hand.

"It's not expensive. A Ninglou has newly launched some jade ornaments, all of which are new and exquisite, if you like it, I will bring you one next time. ”

"Cousin Yi, why don't you give me this first? I really like this jade ornament. "Lilian and Song Yi know each other very well, and they are not polite to him.

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Song Yi's eyes. He took back the jade ornament from Lilian's hand, "This is not good. I'll bring you a new one next time. ”

"Why not?" Song Yi would bring gifts every time he entered the palace, and Lilian was used to his generosity. It's a bit strange to be rejected.

Song Yi carefully pinned the rope back to his belt, "This kind of look is not suitable for a delicate little girl like you, I'll pick a more chic one for you." ”

Lilian pouted, but she couldn't deny that the color and style of this veil were suitable for men to wear, and if she wore it a little indecent, she would just give up.

It didn't take two days. The jade ornaments promised by Song Yi were sent to the palace, not only Lilian's, but also Concubine Rong's.

Concubine Rong stroked a heart-shaped ornament carved from jade. The more I look at it, the more I love it, "This Yi'er is the most pleasing person, and her vision is also excellent." I don't know where to find such a delicate ornament. ”

Lillian got a bracelet with intricate patterns, and I liked it very much. Immediately put it on your hand and dangle it. Hearing the mother concubine praise Song Yi, she couldn't help but say: "But isn't it, Cousin Yi brings gifts every time, and this time the jade jewelry is said to be bought in a jewelry store called Yi Ninglou, and the price is not too expensive." ”

"Oh?" Concubine Rong has some interest, there are no jade resources in this dynasty, they are all imported from neighboring countries, such jade ornaments. Even if it is made into tribute, it is not an exaggeration, but it is made by the people. It's not expensive, it's also weird, "What kind of jewelry store is that Ninglou?" I've only heard of Jinfeng Tower, Yude Building, and I haven't heard of Yininglou. ”

Lilian disagreed: "Mother, that's because you are outdated." The jewelry of this shop is also somewhat famous in the circle of young ladies in the capital, but the palace manufacturing bureau did not purchase the jewelry from them, so the mother concubine did not know about it. ”

"To put it this way, our manufacturing bureau has left out the pearl." Concubine Rong turned her head and called the maid behind her to come over, "The selection of ornaments for the Queen Mother's birthday this time, can that Ninglou participate in the election?" ”

The maid opened the booklet in her hand and replied humbly: "Back to Niangniang, Yininglou is on the roster." ”

Concubine Rong nodded, "Yi'er has used her heart this time. ”

Lilian didn't understand, tilted her head and asked, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Concubine Rong touched her head lovingly: "Lilian, your Cousin Rong and Cousin Yi are both extremely family-minded people, although the way they choose is different, they are both attentive, you just need to remember that no matter where they are in the future and what they do, they are all family members worthy of trust." ”

Lilian didn't seem to understand, nodded and responded: "Cousin Rong and Cousin Yi are both good brothers of Lilian. ”

With Concubine Rong and Lilian, the two walking models, Song Yi's effect of entering the palace soon appeared.

The ladies and princesses of the various palaces have inquired about where the ornaments are sold, and they heard that it is a Ninglou, which is a little unexpected, after all, in the palace, a Ninglou is still a new face. This hit is a bit surprising.

Originally, they were inclined to Yude Building, and the people of these old jewelry stores such as Jinfeng Building gradually leaned towards Yininglou. Who wouldn't want to wear such a clever ornament? However, things from the outside can not easily flow into the palace, and only through the formal channels of the Manufacturing Bureau can they be justifiably owned. Naturally, the wind direction in the palace is biased towards a Ninglou.

This good news, Song Yi naturally notified Qianning as soon as possible. Qian Ning is very happy, with this momentum, the selection of the Queen Mother's birthday will be nine times out of ten.

And the other good news that Song Yi brought was that the saint's body seemed to have improved, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and began to deal with some government affairs. This is good news for both the palace and the Hou Mansion. Only a stable situation can seek a better way out for the future.

It didn't take long for the results of Chunqiu to come out.

On the day of the release, the Hou Mansion was nervous. Cui's got up early in the morning and burned incense, and ordered a competent steward to look at the list.

Qian Ning and Lian Chengmei were accompanied in the hall waiting for news. Lian Chengmei held her stomach for more than eight months, standing and sitting for a while, walking and stopping for a while, and she couldn't bother Qianning anymore.

The body is so heavy, how can it be tossed like this?

Finally, the steward who watched the list came back, with a happy face, "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Madame, congratulations to the son, I have been hit." ”

"Who's the winner?" Zhao Luoyan was confident and had long expected to be on the list, but it was unknown whether he could be in the first class.

"Won the top 10!"

When Cui Shi heard this, he stroked his chest, and recited "Amitabha" again, before he commanded happily: "Pass my word, and the house will reward you with a month's worth of silver." ”

For a while, the maids and maids in the house knelt down to thank them.

Evenings are naturally meant to be celebrated.

Zhao Luoyan has invested a lot of effort in scientific research since he was a child, and it is also the sustenance of his life, and he is naturally very happy to finally get his wish. The old marquis is also very excited, after all, it has always been his wish to hope that the children of the family can make achievements in their careers, and now the most important grandson has fulfilled it for him, how can he not be happy?

When both grandparents and grandchildren are happy, they have to drink to cheer up. I deliberately took out the old wine that I treasured at home. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren celebrate by drinking together.

The men drank to celebrate, and the women ate and ate.

The top ten in the first class, according to the practice of this dynasty, eight or nine out of ten are to stay in the Hanlin Academy. It was the closest place to the emperor, and once he got the blue eye of a saint, there was no need to talk about the future.

Lian Chengmei seemed to have seen the fateful Xia Phi, and her face was uncontrollable joy, and she even ate more food.

Mengying has always had a fast mouth, and her exit is the words of celebration: "Sister-in-law, in the future, the second brother will soar, and you will also be wiped out." If you are crowned a first-class official in the future, you will be the identity of a first-class official. ”

As soon as Lian Chengmei heard this, her face fell: "The third sister's words are not right, it stands to reason that I am Mrs. Shizi, even if I am ordered to be added, it will not be Sister Lu's turn." (To be continued.) )

PS: Windy day, everyone have a happy weekend, happy reading.
