Two days after Zhilan was engaged, Zhiyu was also engaged, but it was not the second son of the Hou Mansion that she expected, but a lieutenant colonel in the army, although the official is not big at present, I heard that the person is very good at getting into trouble, and his martial arts are also good, coupled with the financial support of the Ye family, I believe that he will be promoted soon.

Zhiyu's relatives must have come to Ling'er's courtyard, she sat opposite Ling'er and muttered, "Ling'er, why are you so lucky?" Why can't I do it? ”

Ling'er laughed and said, "Where did I get lucky?" ”

"Are you unlucky? Your future husband is Jia Gongzi Ye Jia Gongzi, don't you want to fool me, I saw Jia Gongzi with my own eyes on the day of the garden party, didn't you see him come out, the eyes of the ladies and ladies around him were straight? ”

Ling'er looked at her like that and quipped: "It's you who are straight-eyed, right?" ”

Zhiyu's face turned red, and he curled his mouth and muttered: "I'm straight-eyed, but people don't look down on me at all, oh, they haven't looked at me, and the boy in white, no worse than Jia Gongzi, he laughs like that, it's really fascinating, and I don't know who is going to be lucky?" ”

Speaking of Wen Xuan, Ling'er couldn't help but bow her head and be silent, she hadn't seen Wen Xuan since she jumped into the lake that day, I don't know where he is now? Or have you already returned to the capital? Alas, perhaps it would be best to break it off and never see each other again.

"Ling'er? Ling'er? Zhiyu stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, Ling'er came back to her senses and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhiyu pouted: "You can really pretend." ”

Ling'er didn't think much about it, and Zhiyu said, "Ling'er, do you know which one the eldest aunt ordered for Zhilan?" ”

"You know, isn't it the Jing'an Hou Mansion?"

"But she ordered the third son, not the second son!"

Ling'er glanced at her: "Even if you don't book the second son, you don't have a play, didn't your mother already order a military general for you?" ”

Zhiyu sneered: "Don't talk so hurtful, okay?" Others are sad in their hearts, can't you comfort me a few words? ”

"Oh well. Military generals are also very good, as long as they can fight, they will handle things, which is much easier than civilian promotion. You see that your uncle has been a Tongzhi in Cangzhou for ten years, and he has never had a chance to be promoted, if your future husband has the ability, maybe he will be able to climb to the head of the eldest uncle in a few years. ”

Zhiyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? ”

Ling'er smiled: "Really, but only if your future husband has enough ability to win several battles in a row." ”

Zhiyu lowered her face again: "Even if I don't go out." I also know that the war in the north is losing and retreating. How easy is it to win a battle? It is not necessary for one to accidentally lose his life!

I heard my mother say that the Zhou family is very anxious, urging them to do their family affairs within the next month. Alas, it's annoying. Why did my mother order such a family affair for me! If this is the case, it is better to be the third son of the Hou Mansion of Zhilan! ”

Ling'er saw that she was indeed a little depressed, and thought about it to change the topic: "Sister Zhiyu, the second uncle and the second aunt have started to prepare a dowry for you, right?" How. What's there? ”

Zhiyu's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she turned her head to mutter, "I'm not as thick-skinned as you." Dare to ask the ancestor for 100,000 taels of silver, anyway, my mother is only one of my daughters, I believe she will not treat me badly, what she gives is what she wants! ”

Ling'er smiled and didn't answer the old ancestor's words: "Then do you know what dowry Zhilan has prepared?" ”

"She? The eldest aunt loves her so much. There must be no less, who knows! Hey, Ling'er. Why do you want so much dowry from your ancestors, do you know that your ancestors have pasted their coffin books! ”

Ling'er's face remained unchanged. Instead, he looked at Zhiyu with a smile: "If I don't want it, others won't want it the same, and there won't be much left at that time." ”

Zhiyu smiled awkwardly: "What you said also makes sense, the eldest aunt and Zhilan have always been thinking about the things of the ancestors, and they go to beg for good things every once in a while, when don't you move a bunch of things back?" Alas, it's all the same anyway, so go for it! ”

At this time, Qiu Ming hurriedly ran in from outside the hospital, and when he saw Zhiyu, he immediately stopped, looked left and right in embarrassment, and stared at Ling'er again, Ling'er said: "It's okay, Sister Zhiyu is not an outsider, let's talk about it directly!" ”

Qiu Ming came to the two of them and saluted: "Miss Hui, the matchmakers of the Jia family and the Hou Mansion have come to ask for their names." ”

"Really? Pretty fast, they came together? ”

"Yes!"

"The eldest lady received it?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, got it, you go down!"

Qiu Ming bowed and retreated, Zhiyu looked at Qiu Ming, thought for a while, and said, "The people from the Hou Mansion are also here, it's really fast, remember that Zhilan's family affairs haven't been decided for a few days, right?" ”

"It's the same in the morning and evening, what's the difference? It's better to do it sooner and finish it early. ”

Zhiyu winked and quipped, "You can't wait?" ”

Ling'er smiled: "Yes, I'm not in a hurry, what a pity if I am robbed by others?" ”

"Well, that's right, Ling'er, you've finally opened your mind."

The two were chatting when they heard a delicate voice at the courtyard gate: "Oh, Zhiyu is also there?" That's right, our sisters are here! ”

Zhilan, who was dressed up in a fancy way, walked in with four or five maids with a thin waist with a food box, and she walked to the stone table of the two with a smile on her face, and sat down by herself.

The maids behind her came up one after another to put out the snacks and snacks in the food box one by one, and the dishes were piled up on the stone table one by one, not only the food was exquisite, but even the dishes containing the food were crystal clear, and the two sides reflected each other more appetizingly.

Zhiyu and Ling'er were a little surprised, Zhiyu's expression was the most obvious, she looked at Zhilan with the most surprise, Zhilan smiled and said: "Eat, you're welcome, this is my mother specially went to the first floor to order, not those street food that can't be on the table." ”

Zhiyu frowned slightly when she heard this, and raised her eyes to look at Ling'er, Ling'er's face was pale and she didn't say anything.

Zhilan pinched the orchid and pointed to herself and took a small bite and tasted it carefully, and after eating a piece of her maid immediately came over with a silver basin of water, twisted a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then changed the dry handkerchief, Ling'er and Zhiyu didn't say a word, watching her perform there alone.

Zhilan nodded: "It's really delicious!" Oh, by the way, I brought Zhihuan with me! Zhihuan, come here! ”

A skinny, small, shrunken little girl dressed as a little shabby than Zhilan's maid came over timidly, standing behind Zhilan with her hands clasped and her head lowered, living off a little maid who couldn't get on the stage.

Zhilan didn't even look at her, and pointed to Fang Cai who had eaten the plate of dim sum by herself: "This, I've rewarded you, take it and eat it!" ”

Zhi Huan's body trembled, and he quickly knelt down: "Zhi Huan doesn't dare." ”

Zhilan's face immediately changed: "If you give it to eat, you will eat it, who will you pretend to be pitiful?" Give me food, and there is no scum left. (To be continued)
