Tang Yuanzhi glanced at Zhao Tao and smiled bitterly, he didn't want to explain much about his own affairs, just because he was to blame for all this, no wonder others ......

But he didn't know that Zhao Tao was also trapped by love, but he was separated from the person he loved, and he watched the person he loved marry someone else, but he couldn't do anything, all because of the difference in thought at that time, which led to the current situation.

Zhao Tao saw that Tang Yuanzhi didn't want to talk about his bitterness, so he nodded to him considerately and said, "Brother Tang, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, it's ......" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look for Xiao Zijin and the four of them, but the street was already empty, let alone Xiao Zijin and others, obviously those four people had already gone away.

Tang Yuanzhi saw that Zhao Tao suddenly stopped talking, and turned his head around looking for something, so he asked curiously, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Tao sighed softly, obviously he had been suppressed for a long time, tilted his head and looked at the sporadically open restaurant on the side, and said in a dumb voice, "Brother Tang, let's talk while drinking...... It's really hard to put into words! ”

Tang Yuanzhi nodded, followed Zhao Tao to the restaurant on the side, and called Xiao Er to send two pots of Huadiao wine.

Zhao Tao poured two glasses of wine and drank a glass lightly, then sighed and said, "Brother Tang, although a manly husband should not be depressed for the sake of love and love, but how many people in the world can escape this **** thing?" Even if it is the emperors of the past dynasties, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, but there is always such a woman who he misses the most, let alone a mortal fetus like us......"

On the other side, after An Yuanhou said goodbye to Liu County. took the reluctant Lin Mei and the depressed Zhou Yanxi back to the annex of the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion in Jinzhou City.

On the way back, Lin Mei and Zhou Yanxi were in the same car, she has always been an idle person. Seeing that Zhou Yanxi was in the same car with him, he went over and pulled Zhou Yanxi's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Yan Xi, let me tell you about the fun and delicious food we have here...... Otherwise, it's too boring along the way, isn't it? ”

Shu Wangjin stayed in Linshan County with Shu Zhou because of something, so there were only Lin Mei on the way back.

Zhou Yanji's heart was already full of anger because of today's events. It's almost irrepressible, but how Lin Mei is now is also An Yuanhou's palm of the flesh, no matter how she is, she can't embarrass Lin Mei here......

Come to think of this. Zhou Yanji also smiled reluctantly, pretending to be very close to Lin Mei, and said coquettishly, "Sister." In the future, when we get to the capital, we will have time to talk about things. Right now...... Sister, I have a few puzzles to ask my sister, I don't know if my sister can give my sister this face? ”

Lin Mei tilted her head, raised her eyebrows and said happily, "You ask...... I must know it all! ”

I finally have a sister, I can't help but look charming, and my temper is so docile, and I am knowledgeable, I will have more face when I take it out in the future!

Lin Mei lowered her head and grinned as she thought about it. Looking at Zhou Yanxi, her eyes were full of cunning.

Zhou Yanxi tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and smiled charmingly. said softly, "Sister, you and Sister Liu have been handkerchiefs since childhood, but this Princess Yu seems to be familiar with you, I don't know how the three of you met?" ”

"You ask this...... Hey, what's there to know, Xiao Zijin is cold-hearted, if it is something that has nothing to do with her, she will never take care of it, if this matter is not related to the king of Yu today, it is estimated that she will not care about it...... You don't know, Xiao Zijin and I were in the same carriage when we first met, and there were still two full hours away from the capital at that time, but she hadn't said a word since she got in the car, and she hadn't even changed her posture of sitting there! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Mei's words were full of amazement and a little admiration, especially when she saw Zhou Yanxi looking at her curiously with her eyes open, she was even more conceited.

"Presumably you should also know that there is also a seriously injured son living in the guest room of the county mansion, also surnamed Xiao...... That is the cousin in Xiao Zijin's clan and Yufei's fiancé...... At the beginning, Xiao Zihuan sent me and Yufei to the capital, and met Xiao Zijin on the road, so he also let Xiao Zijin get into the carriage. said that although this is the case, Xiao Zijin is indeed beautiful, you don't know, at that time she wore a glorious skirt and a bun like a fairy concubine, hmm...... It's a little richer than it is now, I don't know how beautiful it is! At that time, Yu Feike and I were stunned when we looked at her......"

Lin Mei was also a little embarrassed when she said it, and grinned at Zhou Yanxi, but she felt that this was really indecent, so she immediately closed her mouth, pursed her mouth and smiled sweetly, and whispered, "Now Xiao Zijin is the princess, and her appearance has not changed much from before, but it has decreased a little, but her momentum has increased a lot, compared with the angry appearance of the prince today, it is really decent......"

Zhou Yanji's anger in her heart disappeared slightly, she was indeed afraid of Xiao Zijin, but she didn't have much hatred, she just wanted to know what kind of person Bai Ji's rival was...... Today's episode made Zhou Yanji very thorough, thinking that everything was a deliberate means for Bai Ji to climb to King Yu, so she wanted to know a lot of things about Xiao Zijin, and she would also see Bai Ji's jokes when the time came!

"Sister, in my opinion, Princess Yu's temper is not bad...... Today's matter is really not bad for me, I definitely didn't drugged the prince's tea, and I didn't have the guts! In this way, the most likely one is her......"

Zhou Yanji said, and glanced at it with meaningful eyes, obviously saying this is Bai Ji.

On Lin Shi's side, she didn't know that because of her unintentional mistake, everyone was secretly speculating in their hearts about who the drugged person was, and what purpose he had, even the prince was very interested in this matter, just thinking about catching the drugged person.

Lin Mei's interest in this kind of dirty thing was not much interested, and her interest suddenly fell, coupled with the fact that Tang Yuanzhi herself was also given such a medicine, she was a little weak and lazy. "What's there to say about this kind of thing, right? Besides...... How could I not trust my sisters, right? ”

Zhou Yanxi smiled gratefully at Lin Mei, and said, "Sister...... It's just that. You don't know what's next! ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhou Yanji's mysterious look, Lin Mei also got a little interest from being bored, "You are so mysterious, if I know what I told me at that time, how boring it would be!" ”

"Sister......" Zhou Yanxi pulled Lin Mei's sleeve and called in a coquettish voice, seeing that Lin Mei indulged herself, she continued. I can guarantee that I will tell my sister about you later, you will never know! ”

Although Lin Mei said that she was not familiar with Xiao Zijin. But even if it's not familiar, it should be a little favorable, otherwise I wouldn't use so many beautiful words to describe Xiao Zijin, so. That's what she's going to do now. Tell Lin Mei Bai Ji about her true identity, and when the time comes, tell Xiao Zijin through Lin Mei's mouth, and finally, you can watch a good show!

Moreover, with Lin Mei's temperament, she is too easy to deceive......

Zhou Yanxi glanced at Lin Mei with a smile, and sneered slightly in her heart. With this temperament, she later went to the capital to become Shu Wangjin's wife and became the head of the Shu family. See what she does! Those ladies and ladies in the capital are not vegetarians, and when the time comes, they will have Lin Mei's hardships!

"That's ...... Tell me, what is it! Lin Mei hurriedly leaned over and listened to Zhou Yanxi's teachings.

Zhou Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled, full of the dignified and virtuous ladies of everyone's young lady, but it was a pity that the wives of the Zhou family, especially Mrs. Zhou, didn't look down on her at all, and only thought that she was just a false appearance, and all the gentleness and virtuousness were just pretended.

"Sister, do you know that Miss Bai Ji is a concubine raised by His Royal Highness King Yu in Jinzhou?"

Hearing Zhou Yanji's words, Lin Mei's body stiffened, and she looked at her blankly, before she blinked for a long time, came back to her senses, and stumbled, "What do you mean...... That Bai Ji girl has long been a ...... with King Yu That relationship, however, for other reasons, King Yu can only ask her to stay here in the name of Oiran, so that one day he can take her back? ”

Lin Mei naturally understood it this way, but she didn't want to think that if King Yu was really interested in Bai Ji, as a prince and grandson, just a woman in a green house, and no one else dared to say anything if she really took her back to the palace......

Zhou Yanji sighed, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Sister, Bai Ji told me that in fact, King Yu has long wanted to take her back to the palace, but she has been hindered by the pressure from above, and she is going to marry Princess Yu recently, so naturally she must not be sloppy, otherwise where can the princess's face go!" If it weren't for King Yu in order to take care of the princess's face, I am afraid that he would have taken Miss Bai Ji into the palace and sealed the position of a side concubine......"

Lin Mei was cold when she heard it, although she was not familiar with Xiao Zijin, and she was even more afraid of her than her affection, but ......

"Sister, don't you know about this...... And today, you have also seen that Princess Yu didn't want to care about our affairs, but King Yu didn't want to speak in person, so he gave the princess a look, speaking of which, Niangniang is also a poor person......" Zhou Yanxi said, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his tears, and his voice was slightly choked.

Lin Mei took a few deep breaths, then calmed down and asked tremblingly, "What you said, Xiao Zijin shouldn't know about it, right?" ”

If I knew, I was afraid that according to Xiao Zijin's character of not offending me and not offending me, I would have to kill the Bai Ji girl by today's incident, although Xiao Zijin was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he didn't care about himself, but this matter had obviously violated Xiao Zijin's authority......

Zhou Yanxi shook her head, a trace of viciousness crossed her eyes, and said coquettishly, "I guess...... The princess doesn't know, right? ”

Lin Mei sighed deeply, looked at Zhou Yanxi sadly, and spat bitterly at her, "Yan Xi, do you say that all men in the world are virtuous...... One wife is not enough, and they need three wives and four concubines, but they don't know that they have broken the hearts of those women. ”

Zhou Yanxi was also full of resentment towards Lin Mei, and only thought that her arrival had robbed Marquis An Yuan's favor to her, and also made her, the righteous daughter adopted by the Hou Mansion, nowhere to go, but I have to say that sometimes Lin Mei's words did go to her heart, so her face slowly softened, and she said softly with blank eyes:

"Who's to say it's not...... I used to watch a play. It is said that a poor scholar married a wife, although he was virtuous and beautiful, but his illiteracy did not help him. After the scholar reached high school, he abandoned his wife and children, married the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty as his wife, and since then he has soared...... It didn't take long for the scholar to be beheaded all over the house for angering Long Yan, but at this time, the emperor ordered them to be released. The family also moved out of the capital...... Later, the scholar learned that his illiterate wife had been married. It is the daughter of the only princess of the emperor of the dynasty, with a noble status, how can she really be illiterate? And they were able to be exempted from the death penalty by the emperor because of the intercession of the county lord......"

Lin Mei was stunned when she heard this. There was a sudden irritability in my heart. This is back to the topic she talked about with Liu Yufei that day, and this still makes her unhappy to marry Shu Wangjin?

Zhou Yanji was also really sad and sad for a while, but after the sadness was over, she still had to do the business, so she straightened her face and fanned the flames and said, "Sister, don't tell Princess Yu about this matter." lest I break my mother's heart......"

"Hey, hurt Xiao Zijin's heart. That's impossible, but it's a certain ...... to block Xiao Zijin."

Lin Mei said in frustration, but she didn't know what she was missing.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her about this, although she doesn't seem to have much affection with King Yu, but how to say that she is also husband and wife with King Yu, and is the concubine of King Yu, if she tells her about it, although she won't be sad, but anger is certain...... Maybe you have done something rebellious. ”

In such a family, if the elders give it or the woman from a good family outside accepts it as a concubine in the mansion openly, the housewife will never be angry or angry, and she will pretend to be generous, but Bai Ji's situation is different, this is completely without Xiao Zijin's knowledge, even if she changes to other generous ladies, I am afraid that she will be angry......

Zhou Yanxi smiled slightly after hearing this, her eyes were a little deep, although Lin Mei said so, but if she added fuel to the fire in the future, the consequences would be out of control......

Zhou Yanxi smiled slightly after hearing this, her eyes were a little deep, although Lin Mei said so, but if she added fuel to the fire in the future, the consequences would be out of control......

"By the way, Yan Ji, when did Master Hou say we will go to Beijing?" When the time comes...... It's good to choose a good time to take the opportunity to run away with your mother......

Lin Mei secretly had a good calculation, but she didn't know if Mrs. Lin would buy it.

Zhou Yanxi was used to being a good person, so she replied with a chuckle, "Sister, why don't you call Dad...... You don't know how long your father-in-law has been waiting for your 'father', if you continue like this, I'm afraid that your father-in-law will be sad...... When the time comes, it will really outweigh the losses. ”

Her words were a metaphor for Lin Mei not to be too pretentious, thinking that An Yuanhou could act arbitrarily if she took a fancy to her, after all, An Yuanhou could be good to Lin Mei, and he could also knock Lin Mei down from the sky, this was just his words.

Lin Mei thought that Zhou Yanxi was persuading herself, so she sighed and said in a lamented voice, "Yan Yan, can we not mention this?" Now I have a headache with this......"

Of course, Zhou Yanji had to think about her only "sister", so she smiled and said, "Okay, just follow my sister's words...... My sister knows a little bit about this, for so many years, my stepmother and sister have been exiled, and my stepfather often says something considerate to me......"

These words were meant to show off, but Lin Mei didn't take An Yuanhou to heart at all, so let alone be jealous?

"I can't figure it out, he has such a caring and gentle daughter as you, why should he be rare with me, an illiterate mountain village girl?" Lin Mei frowned and said suspiciously, she didn't know that she had inadvertently poked Zhou Yanxi's lung tube with her words.

“……”

Zhou Yanji only felt a mouthful of old blood choked in her throat, but she took a deep breath and forced her composure to say, "My father-in-law told me that Linshan County has not been very peaceful recently, although there are many rights and wrongs in the capital, but it is better to return to Beijing early to avoid the limelight, after all, it is really not a good thing for the three princes to gather here now, and the emperor's health has been deteriorating recently, so the other princes are secretly plotting in private, and our Anyuan Marquis Mansion has always been impartial and stands in the middle, so it is better to leave here early." ”

"You mean...... The emperor is dying? Although Zhou Yanji's words were very vague, Lin Mei still heard such a meaning.

“…… Sister! Don't talk nonsense! Zhou Yanxi was a little anxious. Why is Lin Mei so brainless, so she said it bluntly, if she was heard by someone with a heart. Then wouldn't they all be affected by Lin Mei?

Lin Mei felt a little aggrieved, looked at Zhou Yanxi with a pouted mouth, and said, "But, isn't that what you mean in your words?" Why is it okay to say it secretly, but not to say it explicitly? ”

Zhou Yanxi looked at Lin Mei's innocent and innocent appearance, although she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't hate her as much as before. Therefore, after sighing and calming down, he whispered, "Sister." In the future, this kind of thing can only be said in secret, if anyone dares to say it openly like this, it will be disrespectful and will be killed! ”

She and Lin Mei said so much. I also don't want her to be caught by someone as soon as she enters the capital. After all, the two of them are the daughters of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, if what they say is wrong, it will affect the entire Anyuan Marquis Mansion and the Nine Clans! She is still so young now, but she doesn't want to lose her head just because of Lin Mei's "unintentional mistake", then she will be wronged!

Lin Mei listened to Zhou Yanxi's words so much, and at the end she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "You have a lot of rules in the capital...... Forget it, I'll listen to you. Go on......"

Zhou Yanji saw Lin Mei's sullen appearance, but felt that she owed her. He softened his voice and comforted, "Sister, a powerful family like us, who enjoys such great wealth, has to bear such a big risk...... Even if he is Shu Dangjia, he is the emperor's cousin and nephew, and he is also a companion of the king like a tiger......"

Lin Mei nodded as she listened, no one had ever told her about these things before, but now she heard it very fresh, and she said with feeling, "In a place like ours, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how carefree it is......"

Zhou Yanji was a little disdainful when she heard this, the corners of her mouth were slightly downward, and she said, "Sister...... Don't talk about this, do you know how long the ancestors in the mansion have been looking forward to you? Now I've finally got you...... There are many brothers in the house, one is more noisy than the other, the eldest brother has already married a wife, and the children are three or four years old, but he is a male baby! And the youngest fourteenth brother is still in infancy...... The ancestor was looking for a considerate speaker, but he couldn't find it, but he was worried......"

Lin Mei was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she was even more ashamed of her cheap father, at this rate, almost one a year...... Now even the grandson is hugged, and you still want her and her mother to go back? Hum! No way! She doesn't want her mother to recognize so many cheap sons!

"This ...... There are so many ...... in the house Childe, why can't the ancestor find someone to speak? And also...... Yan Xi, you are so gentle and considerate, the ancestor should like you very much......"

Lin Mei's words poked Zhou Yanxi's heart again, and she was so choked that she could barely speak......

“…… Sister, there are indeed many grandchildren under the feet of the ancestors, but how can boys be so intimate as girls? As for me...... Yan Xi is just an orphan girl, and she has no blood relationship with the Hou Mansion at all, and it is already a great blessing for the Hou Ye to take Yan Ji in, and Yan Ji doesn't dare to ask for anything else......"

Zhou Yanji's words were not aggrieved, but she didn't wipe her tears and cry sadly.

Lin Mei frowned and looked at Zhou Yanxi's sad appearance, she was a little embarrassed, and finally felt that she had been poking other people's lung tubes, so she lowered her head and coughed a few times, pretending to be generous, "It's okay, you are so gentle and virtuous, Mrs. Zhou will find out your good one day, Yan Xi, everyone has to look away, this kind of thing doesn't matter, right?" She doesn't like us, so we don't have to go forward, do we? ”

Zhou Yanji pursed the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled, half-covering her face and said, "My sister really has witty words, after listening to my sister's words, my sister's heart is indeed a lot more comfortable......"

Just between the gossip of the two, the carriage also slowly arrived at the courtyard of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and Mrs. Lin had already changed into a new dress and greeted Marquis Anyuan by the door, no, it should be said that it was Lin Mei & Just because when Marquis An Yuan got off the horse and looked over, Mrs. Lin turned her head directly, looked at Lin Mei gently, and asked softly, "Mei'er still had a good time along the way?" That's right...... Why didn't Master Shu come back with you? ”

Lin Mei looked at her gentle temperament in a daze, and she didn't react for a while as she did if she had seen the official wives in the capital.

Zhou Yanji obviously looks a lot more complex, and has suffered several secret losses from Mrs. Lin. also knew that he was secretly sharp, and he leaned over slightly with a smile on his face, and said in a sweet voice. "Mother......

An Yuanhou still had some resentment, why did Lin Matchmaker ignore Lin Mei and didn't even look at herself, but now after listening to Zhou Yanxi's call, she only feels that her life is worth it, and she has sons, daughters and wives, although the sons are not born to wives, but they can't stand each other. And those aunts are also safe, if the family is safe in the future, it will be enough for the family to live with Heman......

Mrs. Lin's face was slightly cold. But in front of An Yuanhou, it was not easy to attack, so he also chuckled and took Zhou Yan's hand, and said intimately, "It's still ...... you."

Let's talk about it. also glanced up at Lin Mei. There was anger in her tone, "Mei'er, you can learn more from Ji'er in the future, you see how gentle Dong Li is, don't look like a hairy child anymore......"

Lin Mei couldn't help but shudder when she heard her mother's words, why did this sound cautious? And also...... In the past, Lin Mei would only get angry and yell at Lin Mei directly, how could she be so gentle now?

"Hey, Wanrong. I think that our Wan'er has a very good temperament, and it is completely different from the young ladies of other families in the capital. is not delicate at all, and even the kid of the Shu family has a soft spot for our family's Wan'er, you know, the kid of the Shu family has pushed the marriage of Miss Liu, the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, but only our family's Wan'er's blue eyes...... The kid of the Shu family is also the emperor's cousin, and he has a good relationship with the prince and King Yu, and he is a world-famous imperial businessman, this marriage is ...... Not bad. ”

An Yuanhou nodded as he spoke, with a satisfied expression, completely thinking that it was his own credit, having such a flower-like daughter, and such a capable and outstanding son-in-law.

Mrs. Lin became worse the more she listened, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did Master Hou say just now...... The county lord of Qinglai also fell in love with Shu Gongzi, and wanted to marry the Shu family? "This ...... Not good news!

"That's right, Wanrong...... What's wrong with you? An Yuanhou saw that Mrs. Lin's face was pale, and he hurriedly walked over to help her, his face full of worry.

Lin Mei just silently watched An Yuanhou holding her mother's pig's trotters, silent.

"It's nothing......" Mrs. Lin shook her head, with a slight bitterness on her face, as if she remembered some extremely unpleasant past, "By the way, Mei'er, you were captured by thieves before, I thought it was Feng Tianbao's hand, so I imprisoned him in the mansion, and now that you have returned safely, I also released him, and gave him some silver taels to live in, in the future, you can rest assured......"

Lin Mei nodded, walked over and put her hand on Mrs. Lin's hand, and shook off Marquis Anyuan's hand at once, covering her hand on Mrs. Lin's hand, "Mother, it's good if you let him go, after all, he is innocent......"

Mrs. Lin also looked at An Yuanhou, who was injured by her daughter's hand, turned her head lightly, pretended not to see the expression on his face, and said happily with Lin Meiqi, "Then let's go in first...... By the way, isn't there still a Miss Wang in our house? will leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, I wonder where Mei'er has thought of placing her? ”

Lin Mei walked to the house with Mrs. Lin and said with a smile, "Mother, I have already thought about where to send her, but it's just ...... Although it will break Yufei's heart, it can also make her remember the bad things Xiao Zihuan has done before, and she is an untrustworthy person......"

"Yufei? This...... What does it have to do with Yufei? Mrs. Lin frowned, a little puzzled.

Obviously, Miss Wang didn't know about the fact that Miss Wang married Xiao Zihuan and was divorced, but it was also said that in the past, at that time, Lin Matchmaker didn't know where to help people be matchmakers, and after she came back, she only faintly heard some rumors, that is, Miss Wang was sent to the nunnery by her family, but as for other things, Lin Matchmaker really didn't know.

Lin Mei saw that Mrs. Lin didn't know what had happened at the beginning, so she took Mrs. Lin's hand and told her everything that happened a few months ago, and finally sighed, "Mother, you all say that I am a little matchmaker, but how do I think Yufei and Lin Shi are ...... at all?" Are you harmed by me......"

Seeing Lin Mei's depressed face, Mrs. Lin was also a little distressed, so she held her hand tightly and pulled her directly into her room.

An Yuanhou watched Mrs. Lin close the door directly in front of him like this, leaving him outside the door and Zhou Yanxiao looking at each other, and his old face almost couldn't hang up.

"Daddy...... Mother, this is ......" Zhou Yanxi hesitated to look at the door of the wood carving, and then looked at An Yuanhou.

Marquis An Yuan blushed with an old face, stroked his beard and coughed a few times, and pretended to say, "Your mother and your sister have some private things to say, so let's not follow up, you can go down to rest first, as for the matter of King Yu's side, ......"

Zhou Yanji saw that An Yuanhou finally mentioned this matter, and she was also a little anxious, and hurriedly defended herself, "Dad, don't you even believe your daughter?" ”

"Sister, my father naturally believes in you, but in the future, we should be less involved in the affairs of the heavenly family in this palace...... Especially those who are related to the Heavenly Family, don't make friends easily. An Yuanhou sighed, obviously conveying his life experience to Zhou Yanxi.

Zhou Yanxi immediately nodded, and said obediently, "Sister's child must follow her father's teachings, and she will not get involved in these things again." ”

An Yuanhou looked at Zhou Yanxi's well-behaved reaction with satisfaction, his face was still a little sad, and he sighed, "Xi'er, your sister and your mother have been lost outside for so many years, and their feelings for me are really weak, especially your sister, who refuses to even call me father...... It's really sad for me, but these days, Wan'er is getting along with you pretty well, so ......"

"Daddy, please rest assured, my sister and we are all family, and Ji'er promises to make my sister change her mind." Zhou Yanxi deserves to be the confidant of Marquis An Yuan, and immediately knew what he meant. (To be continued.) )
