"Qingyan, don't worry...... She grew up with me in Linshan County, although she used to be a little arrogant, but her personality is not bad...... Moreover, when she came to Los Angeles this time, she was with us. But she has a strong nature, and refuses to live with us in Ding's house, so she insists on going out alone to earn a living; Now that I've seen her, it's impossible to ignore her......"

Lin Meiwen Yan explained to Qing Yan that she didn't want to quarrel with Qing Yan's violent temper, how could she say that she would have to rely on her to take care of her more in the future......

Qing Yan was also taken aback when she rarely saw Lin Mei so gentle and reasonable, but her attitude has always been tough, and she was a little embarrassed at this time, touching her wrist and saying, "Then it's up to you, but I can tell you!" If your friend gets into any trouble, it has nothing to do with me! ”

"Yes, yes...... Naturally it has nothing to do with you......" Lin Mei accompanied her smiling face, and finally persuaded Qingyan, the aunt, to leave; She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, glanced at Wang Huiyuan, who was looking at her strangely, and couldn't help sighing.

What iniquity has she made? How did you meet a rival!

After eating and drinking outside, Wang Huiyuan and Qingyan also became acquainted, and now the temper, personality, hobbies, and everything of the two of them met their appetites, and they left Lin Mei far behind, and the two ran to the front and kept chattering.

Lin Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, now she was relaxed, and finally she didn't have to accompany these two aunts and grandmothers anymore......

After returning to Ding's house, Lin Mei learned that Shu Wangjin and Shopkeeper Ding had gone out and had not returned. She placed Wang Huiyuan in her room, asked someone to bring her a bucket of hot water, and found a new set of clothes from the cabinet that had never been worn and handed it to Wang Huiyuan.

"Wow. You wear this after washing, I never wear it, don't dislike it......"

Lin Mei sat on the stool, supported her chin and looked at Wang Huiyuan, "When Shu Wangjin comes back in the evening, I will ask him to help you introduce a place to do things in Los Angeles, and I also know that you don't like me." If you want to stay in that place, move there...... When they saw that you were introduced by Shu Wangjin, they shouldn't bully you very much. ”

Wang Huiyuan is taking off her coat behind the screen. After hearing Lin Mei's words, she couldn't help but be stunned, and her heart was mixed, and finally she responded lightly.

Her father was the richest man in Linshan County and a rich landowner. Inside the county seat of Linshan. She looks down on any girl except Liu Yufei, even if it is Liu Yufei, she just reluctantly thinks that the daughter of this county order has studied for a few more years and can compare with herself; But other girls, especially those like Lin Mei, who are not from a good background but have good looks, have always excluded them.

However, today, she is down. But she asked for help from this person she looked down on before......

When it was time for dinner, Shu Wangjin and Shopkeeper Ding came back together. But his face was really not good-looking, and the shopkeeper Ding was even more angry, and his mouth was straight up, "How can this be reasonable!" Dare to be presumptuous on my Ding family's territory! ”

Lin Mei originally wanted to ask Shu Wangjin if there was a more reliable embroidery workshop in Los Angeles, but when she saw him like this, she naturally didn't dare to go up and ask questions to annoy him, so she glanced at Wang Huiyuan silently, and continued to look down at the sea in front of her silently, secretly counting in her heart, this sea mistake should not taste good if it is cold.

Shu Wangjin glanced at the people sitting at the table, and was not much surprised when he saw Wang Huiyuan, but nodded slightly, cleaned up his heavy face and said to Shopkeeper Ding, "Shopkeeper Ding, it's time for dinner, Shopkeeper Ding is busy with affairs, so I won't leave you more......"

Shopkeeper Ding's face darkened, looking at Shu Wangjin's eyes full of pity, and said in a mournful voice, "Brother Wangjin, you are really so ruthless......

Before he finished saying this, he saw Shu Wangjin leading Shu Zhou to sit down directly, and said without looking at him, "Qingyan, why don't you send Shopkeeper Ding back?" If it's late, I'm afraid that the aunts of Ding's shopkeeper will make a fuss and ask for someone. ”

Qingyan was originally sitting next to Lin Mei, and she could be regarded as the mistress of this courtyard before Shu Wangjin came, but now that the master is here, she has to obey her orders. Therefore, she immediately stood up, looked at Shopkeeper Ding with a smile, and said softly, "Shopkeeper Ding, please go back...... Otherwise, the slaves and maids would have to let those aunts and wives come and pick up the people in person. ”

Her words were full of threats, just because she had been here for nearly twenty days, she had already understood the character of this shopkeeper Ding and the situation around her; Naturally, he also knew that he had a group of wolf-like aunts in his backyard, and they made a lot of trouble every day over whose yard he went to stay in.

In this case, the shopkeeper Ding is naturally annoyed, let alone let them come and pick up people in person.

Hearing Qing Yan's threatening words, Shopkeeper Ding's face immediately turned pale, and he suddenly remembered the group of terrifying women in his backyard, and his lips trembled; Immediately, he clenched his fists at Shu Wangjin and shrunk down, "Brother Wangjin, then brother will go first...... Eat slowly. ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and fled, as if there was some flood beast behind him.

Qing Yan couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile when he looked at Shopkeeper Ding's embarrassed appearance, then sat down again, and said to Shu Wangjin, "Young Master, this Shopkeeper Ding is most afraid of those aunts in his backyard." You weren't there the other day, don't you know...... On that day, because of the competition over whose yard the shopkeeper Ding stayed in, several aunts almost fought, and in the end, the shopkeeper Ding was really helpless, so he divided the night into five equal parts and took turns to ......"

"Poof......" After Lin Mei heard this, she couldn't hold back for a while, and couldn't help laughing, seeing that the other people at the table were looking at her, although they were all acquaintances, she couldn't help but be a little shy, and touched her nose silently and said, "Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Ding must be very fond of those aunts, otherwise, how could he tolerate them so presumptuous?" ”

Qing Yan smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and raised his head arrogantly. "You're naïve...... Those aunts are all the daughters of other merchants or the concubines of the eunuchs' houses, and the shopkeeper Ding can't offend any of them, and once he offends the people above, he won't give him good fruits to eat...... And also. Do you really think his aunts really love him that much? It's just to give birth to the next head of the Ding family as soon as possible! Don't look at Shopkeeper Ding, who has married so many concubines, he is not too old, but he still has no heirs so far! You can't blame those aunts for being anxious......"

Lin Mei listened to what Qingyan said so much, and then nodded clearly, and finally looked at Shu Wangjin with a blank eye, and whispered, "Then we can always eat now, right?" "She's starving to death......

Shu Wangjin looked at Lin Mei's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened suddenly. Today, the troubles encountered by Shopkeeper Ding outside seem to be less irritable; He smiled at Lin Mei and said in a harmonious voice, "Let's eat...... If you don't start it, the food will be cold. ”

Lin Mei bit her chopsticks. Hearing Shu Wangjin's words that could be moved, if he was amnestied, he immediately smiled and nodded a few times.

Let's talk about the capital again, Xiao Zijin led Bai Ji back to the palace. But at the gate of the palace, Bai Ji was stopped by the palace people as Xiao Zijin expected. Yin Yang asked angrily, "Who is this?" Niangniang has made it clear that outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace without an edict! ”

Xiao Zijin's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't speak, just watching Bai Ji being reprimanded by the eunuch with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

She is so smart, she naturally guessed that this was what Shangguan Guifei was dissatisfied with Qi Xiuchao's doing, and probably heard that her son wanted her prospective daughter-in-law to receive a Qing. The matter of Lou Niang's return to the palace is estimated to be so angry now. How could he allow Bai Ji to enter the palace and slap her in the face? Wouldn't that make the concubines of the entire harem laugh to death, saying that she has a good son who even the women of the Qinglou have to lead into the house!

Bai Ji knew that Xiao Zijin didn't say anything along the way. But she must not be used to looking at herself, so it is not surprising that Xiao Zijin did not help her speak on this occasion.

"This father-in-law ...... The slave family is the servant maid of His Royal Highness King Yu......" Bai Ji smiled at the mean-looking elderly eunuch, took out a delicate token from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch's hand.

The old eunuch couldn't even open his eyes, but when he saw this token, his eyes suddenly widened, and he trembled and returned the token to Bai Ji's hand, and said tremblingly, "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, I don't know who the girl is...... Girl, please enter the palace ......"

Xiao Zijin couldn't help but glance at Bai Ji when he heard this, but Bai Ji stopped very quickly, and Xiao Zijin only saw a black shadow.

"Princess, let's enter the palace......" Bai Ji turned around and looked at Xiao Zijin in the sedan chair, smiled at her, leaned over and saluted, and then followed the queue casually.

Xiao Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the curiosity about Bai Ji in his heart became heavier and heavier.

When she arrived at Shangguan Guifei's palace, Xiao Zijin really didn't know what to say to this noble woman, and if Shangguan Guifei hadn't intervened in it, looking at the interest in the prince's eyes when she was in Linshan County, she would still be able to go to the prince's mansion...... It's a pity that now she is already Princess Yu, and it is impossible to turn back.

Xiao Zijin had a thousand feelings in his heart, but he still had a faint expression on his face, he just leaned over slightly and saluted Shangguan Guifei, and called softly in his mouth, "See Guifei Niangniang......"

Shangguan Guifei is very satisfied with Xiao Zijin, just this look, she can compare all the show girls in the Chuxiu Palace before, and she has a light on her face, and she actually chose such a daughter-in-law who is unique in appearance and talent. Although her family background is not very satisfactory, her son is not going to be the emperor, and it is useless for her daughter-in-law to have such a good family background......

As long as this future daughter-in-law can control Qi Xiuchao and let him honestly stop causing trouble in the future, it will be in vain for her to be grounded by His Majesty before!

"In the future, I should call myself the concubine......" Shangguan Guifei held Xiao Zijin's hand, helped her up with a smile, squinted her eyes and carefully looked at her face, and said abruptly, "If Chao'er also comes back with you, then we will really be reunited...... I don't know how long it will take him to return to the palace this time. ”

Although Xiao Zijin didn't like Shangguan Guifei very much in her heart, and even hated it a little, since Guifei asked, she had to reply anyway.

"If you go back to the concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yu should be able to come back before the year, but the exact date ...... Zijin really doesn't know. After Xiao Zijin finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Ji who was kneeling beside him without a trace, and really admired Shangguan Guifei in his heart, so he didn't say a word, just let people kneel here.

Shangguan Guifei looked at Xiao Zijin's eyes, knowing that she was looking at Bai Ji who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a disdainful smile.

"Zijin, or Chao'er is too willful and reckless, and he actually took you out of the palace like this, if he hadn't left a letter to inform me, you disappeared so suddenly, I don't know how to worry about you in my heart......" Shangguan Guifei clenched Xiao Zijin's hand, and the expression on her face was sincere, not at all like the person Xiao Zijin saw last time.

The last time Shangguan Guifei summoned Xiao Zijin, that attitude can be said to have brought herself to the sky and trampled Xiao Zijin to the ground, with a gesture of being honored to see you, which really disgusted Xiao Zijin.

And now, Shangguan Guifei can still hold her hand and laugh so wantonly, it really makes Xiao Zijin look at her with admiration, and those who can get this position in the palace are really not ordinary people!

Shangguan Guifei didn't know that Xiao Zijin was resisting herself in her heart, and in her heart, no one was so bold and reckless as to dare to resent herself in front of her; Decades of high-minded life have long made her forget her innocence and understanding at the beginning, and she has become a Shangguan concubine who is now often punishing her subordinates for extravagant travel, although His Majesty has always spoiled her, but he can't give her what she really wants.

Xiao Zijin listened to Shangguan Guifei's words, raised his head slightly and looked at Shangguan Guifei who was looking down at him, and said softly, "His Royal Highness King Yu is very measured, and this Niangniang should know this; Zijin followed His Royal Highness King Yu, and Niangniang didn't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Her words can be described as ironic, which means that since Qi Xiuchao is your son, don't you know his bad nature?

Shangguan Guifei's smile froze, and when she was about to look at Xiao Zijin again, Xiao Zijin lowered her head again, as if what she said just now was not what she said. (To be continued.) )
