As soon as Lin Mei arrived at Zhang's mansion, Liu Yufei received the news, and she didn't care about the girl in the pink jacket and purple skirt, so she hurried to her yard.

Lin Mei was bored and sat in the room to look at the brocade that Liu Yufei had embroidered in the past few days, and at first glance she knew that it was given to Mrs. Zhang, and even the color selection was very plain, so she couldn't be interested when she saw it, so she could only drink several cups of tea in a row, and then she waited for Liu Yufei.

"Yufei...... You're finally here, and it's probably too slow......" Lin Mei grumbled, looking at Liu Yufei with her hands on her cheeks.

"Were you stopped by the little guy guarding the door of Zhang's Mansion a few days ago?" Liu Yufei asked straight to the point, the longer this matter dragged on, the more uneasy she became, and since she arrived in the capital, it seemed that everything was not going well.

Lin Mei tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and muttered, "It seems like this......"

Liu Yufei didn't speak, pondered for a while, frowned and asked, "How many people know about your coming to Zhang's Mansion that day?" Also, who came to Zhang's Mansion with you? ”

At this time, another major event was happening in the capital.

"I heard that the list of concubines for the crown prince has been decided? When the time comes, Lord Ning should not forget to take Sister Lashe...... "The Mansion of Ningguo has been very lively recently, especially the courtyard of Ning Tuoshu, which is full of people, and everyone wants to be honored relatives of the emperor, even if they know that road is a purgatory of nine deaths and one life."

It was a handsome young man in a green shirt and a long robe who said this, and he exchanged his hand and Ning Tuoshu for a while before reluctantly exiting the Ningguo Mansion.

"What kind of gift?" Ning Tuoshu saw the young man leave, and hurriedly called the gray-clothed little guy who had just received the gift next to him.

This young man was the new champion of the previous few years, but he was born at the wrong time and his fate was not good, and he was really not valued by the saints, and he only became a petty official of the sixth grade after a long time, so he hit the idea of choosing a concubine for the prince this time.

"Third Young Master, it's a medical scripture scroll, it looks like it's been around for a long time." The young man in Tsing Yi checked the gift given by the young man and replied cautiously.

"Ancient books?" Ning Tuoshu looked disgusted when he heard this, and his face was full of disgust, "Throw it in the library, a broken book wants me to recommend his sister?" Hmph, don't think about it! Don't look at what kind of status you have, and go to Xiao Xiang like that?! ”

This book is a treasure book that has been passed down from generation to generation by the young family, and it can be said that it is not exchanged for a thousand dollars in others, but it has become a worthless and broken thing in the book of Nito, and he has no interest in even letting him look at it more, and I don't know whether to say that it is unfortunate or to mourn the painstaking efforts of the young man in vain.

Xiao Wu could only send the ancient book with a wry smile, and then said, "You still have a vision, the third young master, that Xiao Zijin looks really beautiful, and as soon as the roster of the group of Fang Spectrum was passed up, several mothers immediately took a fancy to her." ”

Ning Tuoshu was also full of pride when he mentioned this, and said lazily, "Therefore, some people who have enough capital can climb up without my recommendation at all, just like Xiao Zijin's posture, even in the palace, it is a must...... As for the Master Li just now, his family background is ordinary, and his sister has no amazing talents, it can be said that he can't find it anymore if he falls into the harem, such a person, even if he is recommended, he won't be favored for a long time! ”

The little guy hurriedly patted Ning Tuoshu's ass, and said with a smile, "That's, how can they compare with you, Third Young Master......"

And on Jing Zhaoyin's side, someone was stroking the piano in a remote courtyard, and the sound of the piano was long, as if it was about to break people's intestines.

"Su Qi, don't stroke the piano, my nuclear carving is already ready."

There were two young women sitting in different corners of the room, one in a blue gauze dress with a delicate face, holding some small tools in her hand and not knowing what to do, and a lot of gray-brown powder and hard shells accumulated on the table.

"Miss, the speed at which you carve things is really getting faster and faster......" Su Qi is obviously just a little maid, and even her clothes are shabby and old-fashioned.

The woman in Tsing Yi smiled indifferently when she heard this, and gently put the things in her hand on the table, the pair of plain white green hands were different from other women's, they were full of thick calluses, although her complexion was fair, but it was not as smooth and flexible as half of other women's hands.

"What are you carving?" Su Qi got up and walked over, put the small ball in her hand and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "There are so many birds!" And as far as the eye can see, it turns out to be the appearance of a phoenix! ”

The woman in Tsing Yi smiled lightly, and there was a hint of pride on her face, and after a long time, her lips opened lightly, and she said in a manly voice, "Su Qi, no matter what, the name that my grandfather made at the beginning must not be ruined in my hands." ”

"However, the matter of entering the palace ......" Su Qi wrung her eyebrows, and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi with bright eyes, as if she couldn't bear it.

Let's talk about the Anguo Mansion again, the second lady An Qionghua is grooming in the mirror, and her originally beautiful face is in tears at this time, although it is pear blossoms with rain, but the sadness in her eyes can't be hidden.

"I said little sister...... Don't cry anymore, my father and mother have said that the Holy God has already designated you as the crown princess, can we still resist the decree? Although my father and the saint are cousins, you don't know your father's temperament, and he has always been loyal to the king and loves the lord, and he is not the same as his aunt......"

Standing next to An Qionghua was An Yaohua, who was already married, who was twisting a handkerchief to wipe her tears and comforting her little sister in a low voice.

"Sister...... However, I already have someone in mind......" An Qionghua said with a sob, and in the end, she didn't even comb her hair, so she threw herself into An Yaohua's arms and cried.

"Shhhh Be quiet! You can't let your father and mother hear this, otherwise you can still have a way to live? An Yaohua covered her little sister's mouth nervously and whispered, "You should pretend that you have never known that person, okay?" You, a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, are going to marry a street performer, and our Guogong Mansion still has to be faced! ”

"But, auntie, didn't she marry Shu Qingtong the same way......" An Qionghua raised her head and sniffed, only then did she stop her crying.

An Yaohua looked helpless, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Can that be compared?" Shu Qingtong is still a big family, what about your family? The family is so poor that there are only four walls left, can you stand that kind of suffering? Look at your little hands, can you do rough work? ”
