"It's the eldest daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, Liu Yunxian. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Master Shu pursed the corners of his mouth and replied with a smile, although the people of the capital have always known about the disagreement between the county lord of Qinglai and Mrs. Shu, but the daughter of a county lord can give you a merchant as a wife, which is a big face!

An Guogong did have the expression that Master Shu wanted to see on his face, vaguely moved, and a little excited, after being excited, calm down, or return to the essence of the matter......

"Yuntang and Qinglai have been at odds since they were children, but fortunately, His Majesty and the Queen Mother love Yuntang even more, so they suppress the eldest princess when Yuntang and Qinglai are fighting; And the eldest princess is not His Majesty's sister, nor was she born to the Queen Mother, so naturally her affection in front of the Queen Mother is not as good as her own sister's daughter, but ...... You also know that Yuntang's temper will never agree to let Qinglai's daughter marry into the Shu family. ”

An Guogong's face was also a little worried, this is the biggest problem, if he can't get Mrs. Shu's side, even if the county lord of Qinglai wants to marry his daughter, there is no way to do it......

As for Shu Wangjin, even if he is a thorn in the pan and difficult to deal with, he is also the son of Master Shu, and if a filial piety is pressed, he must obediently marry Miss Liu, so it is not a big problem on his side...... However, Mrs. Shu is a big problem here! If she didn't agree, it would be impossible for Master Shu to help his son marry the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai......

"Guogong...... I also know about this, so I came to ask for help from the prince. Master Shu sighed a few times, recently he has really broken his heart for this marriage, and even his hair has turned a lot whiter.

If it weren't for the Shu family and for Shu Wangjin, why should he be unpleasing in these two places?

An Guogong was also quite considerate of Master Shu's difficulties, so he waved his sleeves and agreed directly, "You can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result when the time comes." ”

He is full of confidence in this matter, after all, he knows Mrs. Shu's character very well, although he does not say that he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but he greatly admires talented and capable women, and although Liu Yunxian, the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, said that her appearance is not very good, but at least her talent has been really praised by the calligraphy and painting masters of the dynasty.

Moreover, although Liu Yunxian's appearance is a little worse, but marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, with the county lord of Qinglai as the backstage, presumably the Shu family's business will go to the next level! Seeing this, Shu Wangjin wanted to marry an illiterate peasant girl, and the woman's appearance must not be bad; When the door is closed, who cares who you love? Besides, the daughter of the county lord is also a county lord, although her status is not as noble as the county lord, but she is much stronger than the peasant girl......

"In this way, I am really grateful to Guogong......" After listening to An Guogong's words, Master Shu was really happy, and even his voice began to become unstable.

Let's talk about Los Angeles again, Lin Mei and Qingyan are wandering the streets at this time, since Lin Mei's last incident, Shu Wangjin will now send two or three Shu family servants to follow wherever she goes, originally he wanted Shu Zhou to follow, but there are too many socials and acquaintances here in Los Angeles, and Shu Zhou's left and right hand is really indispensable, so he patted another person to follow Lin Mei.

In broad daylight, Lin Mei sneezed several times for no reason, and Qing Yan, who was standing on the side, immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust......

As everyone knows, this is precisely because Master Shu and An Guogong are talking about her!

"You hate me so much, so why do you follow me when I go out? Isn't it self-deprecating? Lin Mei touched her red nose and glanced at Qing Yan helplessly, "Besides, Shu Wangjin and Suzhou don't come out, don't you like to follow Shu Wangjin the most on weekdays, why do you want to follow me now?" ”

"You love following you so much!" After hearing this, Qing Yan glanced at Lin Mei with disdain, and said with a pout, "Today is the big gathering in Los Angeles once a month, there will be many fresh gadgets sold on the street, and this is a coastal area, and commerce is developed. Many merchants from other countries also sell their own things here, especially the clothes and headdresses, some of which are really beautiful......"

When it comes to this jewelry box and clothes, two women who have a bad relationship can turn enemies into friends, and they chatter.

Lin Mei was naturally no exception, her eyes immediately lit up, and she took Qing Yan's hand and said, "Really? Let's go check it out...... By the way, how much silver did you bring out today, will it not be enough, do you want us to go back and get more silver? ”

"Not enough money?" Qing Yan seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and smiled, his little face was full of arrogance, "Our Shu family is the one who prints silver tickets, and only our Shu family cooperates with the imperial court in the whole world!" How can there not be enough silver? It was Madame, and the water she bathed in every day had to be the nectar that hundreds of people had painstakingly collected every morning; It's this bucket of water, and you have to spend dozens of taels of silver to hire someone! Not to mention the petals and incense powder used in every bath, which is not the best thing? Some of them can't be enjoyed every day even if they are afraid of the ladies in the palace, but our Shu family is rich, so it naturally doesn't matter......"

Lin Mei was really dumbfounded this time, in the few days she stayed in Shufu, she also felt that Mrs. Shu's life was luxurious and graceful, but she didn't expect it to be so extravagant...... Sure enough, she was lonely and unheard!

"Even if there is less silver on the body, there is our Shu family's money in this Los Angeles, just take the token given by the young master and show them at that time, how much silver will you take at that time?" Qing Yan raised his chin, and his tone was full of pride; This is also due to the fact that she followed Shu Wangjin, otherwise even Shu Yujin would have strict rules for Qingyu.

Shu Wangjin is a man after all, and he doesn't care much about women spending money on clothes and rouge gouache, and Qing Yan is the most favored big girl in the Xiuwen Academy for so many years, so she naturally doesn't worry about food and clothing, even if she is a daughter with a poor family background, I am afraid that she will not have such a good treatment!

Lin Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and after a long time, she remembered nodding in agreement with Qing Yan's point of view, and touched the fish play lotus bead bracelet that she kept close to her, Mrs. Shu had told her that this was a token of the Shu family's housewife, and it seemed that she should also keep it well, and not lose it......

"Why are you still stunned there?" Qing Yan walked a long way, only to find that Lin Mei didn't follow, and she was really afraid of Shu Wangjin's punishment, so she turned around and came back.

"Ah...... It's okay, let's go there and look at the clothes! And also...... You see, how the woman was dressed so revealingly, and she was not ashamed at all! As she spoke, Lin Mei pointed to an exotic woman who was buying jewelry on the side of the road, and whispered in Qingyan's ear, "But the gems on her forehead are really beautiful!" ”

"Oh, you said the woman...... It was the people of Persia, and the women of their country were all dressed like that......" Although he said this, Qing Yan also had the same hostile eyes towards the woman as Lin Mei.

No way, the woman is much more brilliant than the two of them in terms of figure and appearance, no wonder the two of them are so sour......

"Forget it, it's someone else's business anyway, let's go over there and have a look!" Lin Mei pointed to the big mansion with atmospheric blue tile walls on the side, which was quite interesting; There were many people coming and going at the door of the house, including men and women, and I don't know what place it was, but it was so lively.

Qing Yan glanced over there, and became a little interested, nodded and said, "Then let's go over there and have a look!" ”

The two little servants behind them had no choice but to follow the two of them into the big mansion; Shu Wangjin said it explicitly, if he loses it, he is afraid that the lives of the two of them will not be guaranteed......

Lin Mei held hands, looking like two sisters, and was about to walk in with high spirits.

At this time, I heard a gentle female voice behind me, "The two young ladies in front, can you please stop?" ”

Lin Mei and Qing Yan glanced at each other, and only then turned around after calling the two of them, and then saw a middle-aged lady with a beautiful face dressed in gorgeous clothes standing behind the two of them; The noble lady was followed by two maids and four guards, and it seemed that the origin should be not small...... It's just that Lin Mei doesn't know what this noble lady is doing when she stops herself and Qingyan? I don't know her, could it be Qingyan?

Thinking like this, Lin Mei glanced back at Qing Yan, and when Qing Yan saw Lin Mei looking at her, she immediately glared back, and said viciously, "What do you see, I don't know her!" ”

The noble lady smiled when she heard this, looked at Lin Mei gently, her eyes were quite relieved and sighed, and she said, "Looking at your appearance, you are really more and more similar to your mother...... However, seeing you like this, you have forgotten all about me. ”

Qing Yan immediately looked at Lin Mei, indicating that this person knew not me, but you......

Lin Mei was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she really couldn't remember this noble lady, and she ...... Listening to her tone, it seems that she is very familiar with her mother, and she should have seen herself; But why didn't she remember anything?

The lady's face darkened slightly, and her tone was full of sorrow, "But it's not wrong that you don't remember me...... When I saw you, you were only a few months old; Later, when I saw you again, you didn't remember me anymore. I just watched you frolic and play from afar, watching you be naughty like a boy, your mother has to help you clean up the mess every time, how can you still have the gentle temperament of the year? ”

"Madame...... I really don't remember...... But, madam, do you know my mother? Lin Mei asked cautiously, and suddenly remembered that her mother had also said that she would bring herself to Los Angeles at that time, as if she was going to come here to join a friend of her when she was a child...... Could it be this lady?

It's just that...... That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Los Angeles is not small, and it was encountered like this, which made Lin Mei feel full of strangeness.

The noble lady smiled slightly, looked at Lin Mei's eyes full of love, and said softly, "It's okay if you don't remember me, you didn't remember me at that time, how could you remember me?" However, I have been friends with your mother for more than ten years, and she watched me get married and sent me to travel with my husband. Later, after several years, I saw her again; At that time, you had just been born, and you were like a kitten, a little lump ......"

Lin Mei's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, and she said a little shyly, "Madam, I'm ...... My mother rarely told me about her past. ”

The noble lady's face suddenly became heavy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If I knew that your mother would become what she is now, I wouldn't have agreed to help her **** hide from Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao to secretly see your father!" I won't help her find the shelter in Linshan County, and let her take you to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for more than ten years! It's good now...... Hou, a group of male babies in your father's house, even if your mother goes back, I'm afraid of ......"

Lin Mei listened to this noble lady's deep hatred for her father, and suddenly had a good impression of her, inexplicably kind; She walked over to the lady and said, "Madam, I don't know what you call it?" ”

Only then did the noble lady realize her gaffe, stroked her forehead and smiled, "It's really old, but I let you see the joke...... Wan'er, my surname is Lin, and my husband's surname is Zhong, so you can call me Aunt Lin...... However, Wan'er, if you are free, why don't you go back to the house with me, and when the time comes, Shu Gongzi's side, I will ask someone to report a message. ”

Surname Lin? Lin Mei's heart moved slightly, and she heard this noble lady call herself Wan'er, and knew that this lady should also be from the capital; It's just, Shu Wangjin? How did she know about Shu Wangjin?!

Seeing Lin Mei looking at herself with a puzzled look and a slightly vigilant expression, the noble lady couldn't help but feel funny, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her mouth with a smile, "As early as when you and Shu Gongzi 'eloped', your mother wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Los Angeles quickly, so that I can take good care of you...... Only then did I know that you had already met your father, and your mother followed him back to the capital; I didn't expect you to hate your father so much, you didn't even go back to the capital, and followed Shu Gongzi to Los Angeles......"

Lin Mei was a little embarrassed when she heard it, but she didn't expect her mother to value herself so much, and it was really a knife-mouthed tofu heart, it seemed that she would still treat her well in the future...... Just, Daddy? She doesn't admit that An Yuanhou is her father!

"Wan'er, my house is nearby, why don't you come and sit with me?" When the noble lady saw that Lin Mei stopped talking, she pinched her face and smiled intimately, not at all like the rusty appearance of having not met for more than ten years, she was very familiar; After that, she glanced at Qing Yan who was standing on the side again, and also invited, "Why don't you join this girl......

"Wan'er, my house is nearby, why don't you come and sit with me?" When the noble lady saw that Lin Mei stopped talking, she pinched her face and smiled intimately, not at all like the rusty appearance of having not met for more than ten years, she was very familiar; After that, she glanced at Qing Yan who was standing on the side again, and also invited, "Why don't you join this girl......

Qing Yan is interesting, but she is afraid that this woman will poison Lin Mei, so she is afraid that Shu Wangjin will skin her alive......

"This lady, I'm afraid it's not a good time to do now...... The slave maid knows that Madam, you are very excited to see Miss Lin, but the slave maid is not good to explain to my young master, this person was led out but not brought back, I am afraid that my young master will punish my slave maid...... "Qing Yan has always been sharp-tongued, knowing that she is soft-spoken, if this noble lady really wants to take Lin Mei away, she is afraid that she will not be able to stop her, so she simply moved out of Shu Wangjin, hoping that this lady will not be too presumptuous.

The noble lady looked at Qing Yan for a while, then turned her gaze back to Lin Mei's body, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, that's fine...... After all, Wan'er and I haven't seen each other for so long, next time I will go to the Ding family's Shu Gongzi to invite Wan'er in person, so that Shu Gongzi can rest assured. ”

Lin Mei's eyes became hot when she heard this, and she only felt that every word this woman said was very intimate, except for Mrs. Lin and Shu Wangjin, this was the third person who was so gentle to her, which really made her heart hot.

After the noble lady finished speaking, she smiled kindly at Lin Mei, her eyes were full of indescribable meaning, "Wan'er, then I'll go first......

Lin Mei nodded and said softly, "Mrs. Zhong walks slowly......"

The noble lady listened to Lin Mei's name and pause slightly, but she quickly smiled, and then led the maidservants and guards behind her into the house; When she entered, Lin Mei clearly saw the two little maids guarding the door nodding at the woman, and the smile on her face was so eager that even she, an outsider, could feel it.

"Don't look at it...... The lady did not seem to be of low status; It's just that since you don't remember her, it's better for us to deal with her less, not to mention, although she knows the young master, but that's just her words...... If you want to get to know her, then we will go back to Ding's house and ask the young master. If the young master says that the lady can make friends, it will not be too late for you to meet that lady again! ”

Qing Yan naturally knew what Lin Mei was struggling with, and she wanted to ask the lady what she wanted, but no matter what she said, she couldn't let Lin Mei follow a stranger like this, if something happened at that time, I was afraid that Shu Wangjin would not be able to peel her skin!

Lin Mei also felt that her previous thoughts were too reckless, since she left Linshan County, she knew that the bad people in the world could be hidden to that extent, and Wang Huiyuan and others couldn't be more kind than them...... Those people look gentle and kind on the surface, but in their bones they are more terrifying than hungry wolves! It really scared her......

After such an accident, the strong interest of the two instantly dropped a lot, and they didn't want to look at the clothes and jewelry, they glanced at each other, and Qing Yan pouted and said, "It's noon now, let's go eat something......

Lin Mei was not very much, frowning and looking at another place suspiciously.

Qing Yan also glanced over there, but there was a good-looking girl there looking at the embroidery stalls on the street, the girl was dressed plainly, and only a small silk flower was worn on her head, which was really nothing outstanding.

"What, you've met an acquaintance again?" Qing Yan saw that Lin Mei had been looking at the girl's house, and couldn't help but ask casually.

Lin Mei nodded sincerely, and then said to Qingyan, "You wait for me here, and I'll be back soon." Then he walked to the place where the girl was standing.

"...... you" Qing Yan didn't pay attention, and saw Lin Mei go over there, so she had to glare at the two little guys behind her, and scolded in a coquettish voice, "Why don't you follow quickly?" If Miss Lin loses it, see how the young master cleans you up when you go back! ”

Let's talk about Lin Mei again, the person she saw was Wang Huiyuan, who came to Los Angeles with her......

It's just that the reason why Qing Yan didn't know Wang Huiyuan was because Wang Huiyuan parted ways with Lin Mei and Shu Wangjin as soon as he got off the boat. At that time, Lin Mei was still very worried about her, and asked her why she didn't live with her, and then slowly look for a way to make a living; But as soon as Wang Huiyuan's temperament came up, he didn't agree to follow Lin Mei anymore. Originally, she already felt very ashamed that Tolin Mei's Fushu Wangjin brought her to Los Angeles with her, if she relied on Lin Mei's help to gain a foothold here in Los Angeles, I was afraid that she would really not be able to figure out how to jump into the river!

However, now that I met on the streets of Los Angeles, Lin Mei had to say hello no matter what she said, and by the way, she would go to comfort Wang Huiyuan......

Well, she didn't want to laugh at Wang Huiyuan, she was just curious about what she had found to do now; Moreover, no matter what the two of them say, they are fellow villagers, and she brought Wang Huiyuan to this place, if Wang Huiyuan is not doing well here, she will also be uneasy......

Wang Huiyuan also noticed that there was someone behind him, and hurriedly looked back, but it was Lin Mei, wearing a brocade dress that looked very valuable, with all kinds of jewel butterfly hairpins on her head, and bright eyes and bright teeth; It looks like a world away from the way she looks now. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little resentful in her heart.

thinks that at the beginning, when she was in Linshan County, she had always disdained Lin Mei; I didn't expect feng shui to take turns, but now it's Lin Mei's turn to see her jokes!

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan was about to avoid herself with a basket in her hand, so she hurriedly followed, grabbed her, and said urgently, "What are you watching me run?" I'm not here to see your jokes...... Anyway, you also came here with me, if you are bullied here, I feel very sad, now here...... But only the two of us are fellow countrymen. ”

She and Wang Huiyuan spoke the dialect of Linshan County, and their hearts were finally a little more comfortable; Before, even with Shu Wangjin, what she said was official, but she was suffocated!

The expression on Wang Huiyuan's face seemed to move, and the originally defensive look slowly subsided, looking very tired, the whole person was a lot older, how could he still be arrogant in Linshan County.

"You...... Where do you live now and find a living income? Lin Mei touched her wrist and didn't know what to say, but no matter what she said, she could imagine Wang Huiyuan's thunderous appearance after hearing this, but she had to ask this question anyway, Wang Huiyuan loves face and can't do rough work, she can't watch her starve to death here, right?

Wang Huiyuan seems to have had a bad time in Los Angeles these days, and he doesn't have the irritable temper he had at the beginning, so he said gloomily, "Didn't you praise me for embroidering well?" I wanted to sell embroidery for a living...... Not to mention a pair of embroidery dozens of taels of silver, but I also think that it is worth a few taels of silver, but ......"

"But? What's wrong......" Lin Mei frowned and asked, Wang Huiyuan's embroidery is indeed exquisite, she has also seen it, it stands to reason that it should be completely okay to sell a pair of embroidery for a few taels of silver.

Wang Huiyuan's expression became more and more gloomy, and the whole person lost his original vitality, and his voice was hoarse and low, "I found the largest embroidery workshop in Los Angeles, but I didn't expect that the people there said that here, even if the embroidery is exquisite, it is useless, unless you are famous enough, otherwise a pair of embroidery is not worth a few silver; When the boss there saw that my embroidery was exquisite, he wanted to ask me to help the embroidery lady in their embroidery workshop, which meant that my embroidery would be sold with the reputation of the embroidery girl, and let me get a commission from it...... However, it is obviously my embroidery, why should I sell it in someone else's name? I had an argument with the boss, and later, even the embroidery workshop in Los Angeles refused to accept my embroidery......

Lin Mei listened to the righteous indignation, gritted her teeth and said straight, "That boss is too deceitful!" This is obviously your embroidery, they think you embroider well, directly invite you, why let your embroidery bear the name of others? What an abomination! ”

She thought that Wang Huiyuan couldn't pull her face and wouldn't do this kind of embroidery work, but she didn't expect that she looked down on Wang Huiyuan, who was indeed a daughter before, and she was so easy and hardworking; But now people can also endure hardships, not to say that they don't do any work! This made Lin Mei feel that she had re-acquainted herself with Wang Huiyuan, and she was really impressed by Shibei for three days......

Wang Huiyuan smiled slightly after listening to Lin Mei's words of hatred and hatred, and her smile was full of bitterness, "I thought that I would be able to live well without the Wang family, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't even support myself...... Lin Mei, I really shouldn't have made fun of you back then, your mother and her...... It's also amazing. ”

This is the first time Lin Mei has heard Wang Huiyuan say such things, and she is also a little emotional, when she was young, she never imagined that there would be such a day, and the daughter of the richest man in Linshan County would apologize to herself......

However, now is not the time to think about these things, the first priority is to help Wang Huiyuan find a livelihood, otherwise if she starves to death here, Lin Mei herself will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Why don't you go to Ding's house with me now, and when Shu Wangjin comes back, he has a lot of contacts here, and I think I can help you find a good embroidery workshop...... Or, if you want to do something else, you can also tell us, and I'll let Shu Wangjin help you see it when the time comes; L.A. is so big, and you have such a good craft, you won't starve to death here! ”

Lin Mei thought for a long time, smiled and said to Wang Huiyuan.

Wang Huiyuan saw Lin Mei's sincere consideration for herself, her throat couldn't help choking, and her heart was mixed for a while, and she couldn't say anything.

She had seen Lin Mei before, dressed luxuriously, chatting and laughing with a graceful and luxuriously dressed lady, such a posture, how could she still be like the poor and ugly stinky girl when she was a child, even she herself couldn't help but secretly feel inferior.

However, she didn't expect that Lin Mei had helped her so much regardless of her previous suspicions, and now she would continue to help herself find a livelihood, which really made her ...... It's better to be ashamed!

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan stopped talking, and knew that she was entangled again, so she directly took her hand and said, "Between the two of us, don't be embarrassed!" Besides, when I was young, I didn't know what ugly things you had, and what ugly things about me didn't you talk about everywhere? ”

Wang Huiyuan still lowered her head and didn't speak, but she was obviously a little moved by what Lin Mei said, it is indeed difficult for her to survive as a weak woman here, but if Shu Wangjin is willing to help, it will be an easy matter......

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan still didn't speak, and she couldn't care so much, so she directly pulled her to Qingyan's side, and said to Qingyan with a hippie smile at the end, "Qingyan, she is my friend, and she will go back to Ding's house with us later...... Well, she'll sleep with me tonight, now let's go get something to eat......"

Qing Yan saw Lin Mei pulling the Wang Huiyuan in front of him like this, and couldn't help but itch her teeth with hatred, and muttered in a low voice, "I really take myself seriously!" Just led a stranger into Ding's house, hum! ”

The reason why Lin Mei walked so fast was because she was afraid that Qing Yan would catch her nagging, but now it seems that she is lucky to run fast, otherwise she will definitely be preached by Qing Yan!

"Who's that woman?" Wang Huiyuan glanced back at Qing Yan and asked.

Lin Mei made a bitter face and whispered in Wang Huiyuan's ear, "It's the big girl next to Shu Wangjin, fierce to death, and ......" Lin Mei almost said "a fight with you before", but fortunately she stopped her mouth in time, smiled at Wang Huiyuan, and said busily, "It's nothing, nothing ......"

Wang Huiyuan glanced at the smirking Lin Mei in puzzlement, snorted lightly, turned his head arrogantly, and stopped paying attention to Lin Mei.

Qing Yan saw that Lin Mei and Wang Huiyuan were far away, so she couldn't help but follow, and dragged Lin Mei behind, forcing her to ask, "Who is this woman?" Don't be a bad guy! Lin Mei, if you don't explain honestly, you will go to the streets with her tonight; This Ding family will never tolerate you! ”

Lin Mei glanced at Qing Yan depressedly, it seemed that she was indeed frightened by Shu Yanjin's incident, for fear of provoking some wrongdoers, but Wang Huiyuan She couldn't understand it anymore, not to mention that it was all from the same place, how could she harm her?

"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 had a strong nature and refused to live with us in Ding's house, so she insisted on going out alone to earn a living; Now that I've seen her, it's impossible to ignore her......"

"It's the eldest daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, Liu Yunxian." Master Shu pursed the corners of his mouth and replied with a smile, although the people of the capital have always known about the disagreement between the county lord of Qinglai and Mrs. Shu, but the daughter of a county lord can give you a merchant as a wife, which is a big face!

An Guogong did have the expression that Master Shu wanted to see on his face, vaguely moved, and a little excited, after being excited, calm down, or return to the essence of the matter......

"Yuntang and Qinglai have been at odds since they were children, but fortunately, His Majesty and the Queen Mother love Yuntang even more, so they suppress the eldest princess when Yuntang and Qinglai are fighting; And the eldest princess is not His Majesty's sister, nor was she born to the Queen Mother, so naturally her affection in front of the Queen Mother is not as good as her own sister's daughter, but ...... You also know that Yuntang's temper will never agree to let Qinglai's daughter marry into the Shu family. ”

An Guogong's face was also a little worried, this is the biggest problem, if he can't get Mrs. Shu's side, even if the county lord of Qinglai wants to marry his daughter, there is no way to do it......

As for Shu Wangjin, even if he is a thorn in the pan and difficult to deal with, he is also the son of Master Shu, and if a filial piety is pressed, he must obediently marry Miss Liu, so it is not a big problem on his side...... However, Mrs. Shu is a big problem here! If she didn't agree, it would be impossible for Master Shu to help his son marry the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai......

"Guogong...... I also know about this, so I came to ask for help from the prince. Master Shu sighed a few times, recently he has really broken his heart for this marriage, and even his hair has turned a lot whiter.

If it weren't for the Shu family and for Shu Wangjin, why should he be unpleasing in these two places?

An Guogong was also quite considerate of Master Shu's difficulties, so he waved his sleeves and agreed directly, "You can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result when the time comes." ”

He is full of confidence in this matter, after all, he knows Mrs. Shu's character very well, although he does not say that he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but he greatly admires talented and capable women, and although Liu Yunxian, the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, said that her appearance is not very good, but at least her talent has been really praised by the calligraphy and painting masters of the dynasty.

Moreover, although Liu Yunxian's appearance is a little worse, but marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, with the county lord of Qinglai as the backstage, presumably the Shu family's business will go to the next level! Seeing this, Shu Wangjin wanted to marry an illiterate peasant girl, and the woman's appearance must not be bad; When the door is closed, who cares who you love? Besides, the daughter of the county lord is also a county lord, although her status is not as noble as the county lord, but she is much stronger than the peasant girl......

"In this way, I am really grateful to Guogong......" After listening to An Guogong's words, Master Shu was really happy, and even his voice began to become unstable.

Let's talk about Los Angeles again, Lin Mei and Qingyan are wandering the streets at this time, since Lin Mei's last incident, Shu Wangjin will now send two or three Shu family servants to follow wherever she goes, originally he wanted Shu Zhou to follow, but there are too many socials and acquaintances here in Los Angeles, and Shu Zhou's left and right hand is really indispensable, so he patted another person to follow Lin Mei.

In broad daylight, Lin Mei sneezed several times for no reason, and Qing Yan, who was standing on the side, immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust......

As everyone knows, this is precisely because Master Shu and An Guogong are talking about her!

"You hate me so much, so why do you follow me when I go out? Isn't it self-deprecating? Lin Mei touched her red nose and glanced at Qing Yan helplessly, "Besides, Shu Wangjin and Suzhou don't come out, don't you like to follow Shu Wangjin the most on weekdays, why do you want to follow me now?" ”

"You love following you so much!" After hearing this, Qing Yan glanced at Lin Mei with disdain, and said with a pout, "Today is the big gathering in Los Angeles once a month, there will be many fresh gadgets sold on the street, and this is a coastal area, and commerce is developed. Many merchants from other countries also sell their own things here, especially the clothes and headdresses, some of which are really beautiful......"

When it comes to this jewelry box and clothes, two women who have a bad relationship can turn enemies into friends, and they chatter.

Lin Mei was naturally no exception, her eyes immediately lit up, and she took Qing Yan's hand and said, "Really? Let's go check it out...... By the way, how much silver did you bring out today, will it not be enough, do you want us to go back and get more silver? ”

"Not enough money?" Qing Yan seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and smiled, his little face was full of arrogance, "Our Shu family is the one who prints silver tickets, and only our Shu family cooperates with the imperial court in the whole world!" How can there not be enough silver? It was Madame, and the water she bathed in every day had to be the nectar that hundreds of people had painstakingly collected every morning; It's this bucket of water, and you have to spend dozens of taels of silver to hire someone! Not to mention the petals and incense powder used in every bath, which is not the best thing? Some of them can't be enjoyed every day even if they are afraid of the ladies in the palace, but our Shu family is rich, so it naturally doesn't matter......"

Lin Mei was really dumbfounded this time, in the few days she stayed in Shufu, she also felt that Mrs. Shu's life was luxurious and graceful, but she didn't expect it to be so extravagant...... Sure enough, she was lonely and unheard!

"Even if there is less silver on the body, there is our Shu family's money in this Los Angeles, just take the token given by the young master and show them at that time, how much silver will you take at that time?" Qing Yan raised his chin, and his tone was full of pride; This is also due to the fact that she followed Shu Wangjin, otherwise even Shu Yujin would have strict rules for Qingyu.

Shu Wangjin is a man after all, and he doesn't care much about women spending money on clothes and rouge gouache, and Qing Yan is the most favored big girl in the Xiuwen Academy for so many years, so she naturally doesn't worry about food and clothing, even if she is a daughter with a poor family background, I am afraid that she will not have such a good treatment!

Lin Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and after a long time, she remembered nodding in agreement with Qing Yan's point of view, and touched the fish play lotus bead bracelet that she kept close to her, Mrs. Shu had told her that this was a token of the Shu family's housewife, and it seemed that she should also keep it well, and not lose it......

"Why are you still stunned there?" Qing Yan walked a long way, only to find that Lin Mei didn't follow, and she was really afraid of Shu Wangjin's punishment, so she turned around and came back.

"Ah...... It's okay, let's go there and look at the clothes! And also...... You see, how the woman was dressed so revealingly, and she was not ashamed at all! As she spoke, Lin Mei pointed to an exotic woman who was buying jewelry on the side of the road, and whispered in Qingyan's ear, "But the gems on her forehead are really beautiful!" ”

"Oh, you said the woman...... It was the people of Persia, and the women of their country were all dressed like that......" Although he said this, Qing Yan also had the same hostile eyes towards the woman as Lin Mei.

No way, the woman is much more brilliant than the two of them in terms of figure and appearance, no wonder the two of them are so sour......

"Forget it, it's someone else's business anyway, let's go over there and have a look!" Lin Mei pointed to the big mansion with atmospheric blue tile walls on the side, which was quite interesting; There were many people coming and going at the door of the house, including men and women, and I don't know what place it was, but it was so lively.

Qing Yan glanced over there, and became a little interested, nodded and said, "Then let's go over there and have a look!" ”

The two little servants behind them had no choice but to follow the two of them into the big mansion; Shu Wangjin said it explicitly, if he loses it, he is afraid that the lives of the two of them will not be guaranteed......

Lin Mei held hands, looking like two sisters, and was about to walk in with high spirits.

At this time, I heard a gentle female voice behind me, "The two young ladies in front, can you please stop?" ”

Lin Mei and Qing Yan glanced at each other, and only then turned around after calling the two of them, and then saw a middle-aged lady with a beautiful face dressed in gorgeous clothes standing behind the two of them; The noble lady was followed by two maids and four guards, and it seemed that the origin should be not small...... It's just that Lin Mei doesn't know what this noble lady is doing when she stops herself and Qingyan? I don't know her, could it be Qingyan?

Thinking like this, Lin Mei glanced back at Qing Yan, and when Qing Yan saw Lin Mei looking at her, she immediately glared back, and said viciously, "What do you see, I don't know her!" ”

The noble lady smiled when she heard this, looked at Lin Mei gently, her eyes were quite relieved and sighed, and she said, "Looking at your appearance, you are really more and more similar to your mother...... However, seeing you like this, you have forgotten all about me. ”

Qing Yan immediately looked at Lin Mei, indicating that this person knew not me, but you......

Lin Mei was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she really couldn't remember this noble lady, and she ...... Listening to her tone, it seems that she is very familiar with her mother, and she should have seen herself; But why didn't she remember anything?

The lady's face darkened slightly, and her tone was full of sorrow, "But it's not wrong that you don't remember me...... When I saw you, you were only a few months old; Later, when I saw you again, you didn't remember me anymore. I just watched you frolic and play from afar, watching you be naughty like a boy, your mother has to help you clean up the mess every time, how can you still have the gentle temperament of the year? ”

"Madame...... I really don't remember...... But, madam, do you know my mother? Lin Mei asked cautiously, and suddenly remembered that her mother had also said that she would bring herself to Los Angeles at that time, as if she was going to come here to join a friend of her when she was a child...... Could it be this lady?

It's just that...... That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Los Angeles is not small, and it was encountered like this, which made Lin Mei feel full of strangeness.

The noble lady smiled slightly, looked at Lin Mei's eyes full of love, and said softly, "It's okay if you don't remember me, you didn't remember me at that time, how could you remember me?" However, I have been friends with your mother for more than ten years, and she watched me get married and sent me to travel with my husband. Later, after several years, I saw her again; At that time, you had just been born, and you were like a kitten, a little lump ......"

Lin Mei's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, and she said a little shyly, "Madam, I'm ...... My mother rarely told me about her past. ”

The noble lady's face suddenly became heavy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If I knew that your mother would become what she is now, I wouldn't have agreed to help her **** hide from Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao to secretly see your father!" I won't help her find the shelter in Linshan County, and let her take you to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for more than ten years! It's good now...... Hou, a group of male babies in your father's house, even if your mother goes back, I'm afraid of ......"

Lin Mei listened to this noble lady's deep hatred for her father, and suddenly had a good impression of her, inexplicably kind; She walked over to the lady and said, "Madam, I don't know what you call it?" ”

Only then did the noble lady realize her gaffe, stroked her forehead and smiled, "It's really old, but I let you see the joke...... Wan'er, my surname is Lin, and my husband's surname is Zhong, so you can call me Aunt Lin...... However, Wan'er, if you are free, why don't you go back to the house with me, and when the time comes, Shu Gongzi's side, I will ask someone to report a message. ”

Surname Lin? Lin Mei's heart moved slightly, and she heard this noble lady call herself Wan'er, and knew that this lady should also be from the capital; It's just, Shu Wangjin? How did she know about Shu Wangjin?!

Seeing Lin Mei looking at herself with a puzzled look and a slightly vigilant expression, the noble lady couldn't help but feel funny, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her mouth with a smile, "As early as when you and Shu Gongzi 'eloped', your mother wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Los Angeles quickly, so that I can take good care of you...... Only then did I know that you had already met your father, and your mother followed him back to the capital; I didn't expect you to hate your father so much, you didn't even go back to the capital, and followed Shu Gongzi to Los Angeles......"

Lin Mei was a little embarrassed when she heard it, but she didn't expect her mother to value herself so much, and it was really a knife-mouthed tofu heart, it seemed that she would still treat her well in the future...... Just, Daddy? She doesn't admit that An Yuanhou is her father!

"Wan'er, my house is nearby, why don't you come and sit with me?" When the noble lady saw that Lin Mei stopped talking, she pinched her face and smiled intimately, not at all like the rusty appearance of having not met for more than ten years, she was very familiar; After that, she glanced at Qing Yan who was standing on the side again, and also invited, "Why don't you join this girl......

"Wan'er, my house is nearby, why don't you come and sit with me?" When the noble lady saw that Lin Mei stopped talking, she pinched her face and smiled intimately, not at all like the rusty appearance of having not met for more than ten years, she was very familiar; After that, she glanced at Qing Yan who was standing on the side again, and also invited, "Why don't you join this girl......

Qing Yan is interesting, but she is afraid that this woman will poison Lin Mei, so she is afraid that Shu Wangjin will skin her alive......

"This lady, I'm afraid it's not a good time to do now...... The slave maid knows that Madam, you are very excited to see Miss Lin, but the slave maid is not good to explain to my young master, this person was led out but not brought back, I am afraid that my young master will punish my slave maid...... "Qing Yan has always been sharp-tongued, knowing that she is soft-spoken, if this noble lady really wants to take Lin Mei away, she is afraid that she will not be able to stop her, so she simply moved out of Shu Wangjin, hoping that this lady will not be too presumptuous.

The noble lady looked at Qing Yan for a while, then turned her gaze back to Lin Mei's body, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, that's fine...... After all, Wan'er and I haven't seen each other for so long, next time I will go to the Ding family's Shu Gongzi to invite Wan'er in person, so that Shu Gongzi can rest assured. ”

Lin Mei's eyes became hot when she heard this, and she only felt that every word this woman said was very intimate, except for Mrs. Lin and Shu Wangjin, this was the third person who was so gentle to her, which really made her heart hot.

After the noble lady finished speaking, she smiled kindly at Lin Mei, her eyes were full of indescribable meaning, "Wan'er, then I'll go first......

Lin Mei nodded and said softly, "Mrs. Zhong walks slowly......"

The noble lady listened to Lin Mei's name and pause slightly, but she quickly smiled, and then led the maidservants and guards behind her into the house; When she entered, Lin Mei clearly saw the two little maids guarding the door nodding at the woman, and the smile on her face was so eager that even she, an outsider, could feel it.

"Don't look at it...... The lady did not seem to be of low status; It's just that since you don't remember her, it's better for us to deal with her less, not to mention, although she knows the young master, but that's just her words...... If you want to get to know her, then we will go back to Ding's house and ask the young master. If the young master says that the lady can make friends, it will not be too late for you to meet that lady again! ”

Qing Yan naturally knew what Lin Mei was struggling with, and she wanted to ask the lady what she wanted, but no matter what she said, she couldn't let Lin Mei follow a stranger like this, if something happened at that time, I was afraid that Shu Wangjin would not be able to peel her skin!

Lin Mei also felt that her previous thoughts were too reckless, since she left Linshan County, she knew that the bad people in the world could be hidden to that extent, and Wang Huiyuan and others couldn't be more kind than them...... Those people look gentle and kind on the surface, but in their bones they are more terrifying than hungry wolves! It really scared her......

After such an accident, the strong interest of the two instantly dropped a lot, and they didn't want to look at the clothes and jewelry, they glanced at each other, and Qing Yan pouted and said, "It's noon now, let's go eat something......

Lin Mei was not very much, frowning and looking at another place suspiciously.

Qing Yan also glanced over there, but there was a good-looking girl there looking at the embroidery stalls on the street, the girl was dressed plainly, and only a small silk flower was worn on her head, which was really nothing outstanding.

"What, you've met an acquaintance again?" Qing Yan saw that Lin Mei had been looking at the girl's house, and couldn't help but ask casually.

Lin Mei nodded sincerely, and then said to Qingyan, "You wait for me here, and I'll be back soon." Then he walked to the place where the girl was standing.

"...... you" Qing Yan didn't pay attention, and saw Lin Mei go over there, so she had to glare at the two little guys behind her, and scolded in a coquettish voice, "Why don't you follow quickly?" If Miss Lin loses it, see how the young master cleans you up when you go back! ”

Let's talk about Lin Mei again, the person she saw was Wang Huiyuan, who came to Los Angeles with her......

It's just that the reason why Qing Yan didn't know Wang Huiyuan was because Wang Huiyuan parted ways with Lin Mei and Shu Wangjin as soon as he got off the boat. At that time, Lin Mei was still very worried about her, and asked her why she didn't live with her, and then slowly look for a way to make a living; But as soon as Wang Huiyuan's temperament came up, he didn't agree to follow Lin Mei anymore. Originally, she already felt very ashamed that Tolin Mei's Fushu Wangjin brought her to Los Angeles with her, if she relied on Lin Mei's help to gain a foothold here in Los Angeles, I was afraid that she would really not be able to figure out how to jump into the river!

However, now that I met on the streets of Los Angeles, Lin Mei had to say hello no matter what she said, and by the way, she would go to comfort Wang Huiyuan......

Well, she didn't want to laugh at Wang Huiyuan, she was just curious about what she had found to do now; Moreover, no matter what the two of them say, they are fellow villagers, and she brought Wang Huiyuan to this place, if Wang Huiyuan is not doing well here, she will also be uneasy......

Wang Huiyuan also noticed that there was someone behind him, and hurriedly looked back, but it was Lin Mei, wearing a brocade dress that looked very valuable, with all kinds of jewel butterfly hairpins on her head, and bright eyes and bright teeth; It looks like a world away from the way she looks now. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little resentful in her heart.

thinks that at the beginning, when she was in Linshan County, she had always disdained Lin Mei; I didn't expect feng shui to take turns, but now it's Lin Mei's turn to see her jokes!

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan was about to avoid herself with a basket in her hand, so she hurriedly followed, grabbed her, and said urgently, "What are you watching me run?" I'm not here to see your jokes...... Anyway, you also came here with me, if you are bullied here, I feel very sad, now here...... But only the two of us are fellow countrymen. ”

She and Wang Huiyuan spoke the dialect of Linshan County, and their hearts were finally a little more comfortable; Before, even with Shu Wangjin, what she said was official, but she was suffocated!

The expression on Wang Huiyuan's face seemed to move, and the originally defensive look slowly subsided, looking very tired, the whole person was a lot older, how could he still be arrogant in Linshan County.

"You...... Where do you live now and find a living income? Lin Mei touched her wrist and didn't know what to say, but no matter what she said, she could imagine Wang Huiyuan's thunderous appearance after hearing this, but she had to ask this question anyway, Wang Huiyuan loves face and can't do rough work, she can't watch her starve to death here, right?

Wang Huiyuan seems to have had a bad time in Los Angeles these days, and he doesn't have the irritable temper he had at the beginning, so he said gloomily, "Didn't you praise me for embroidering well?" I wanted to sell embroidery for a living...... Not to mention a pair of embroidery dozens of taels of silver, but I also think that it is worth a few taels of silver, but ......"

"But? What's wrong......" Lin Mei frowned and asked, Wang Huiyuan's embroidery is indeed exquisite, she has also seen it, it stands to reason that it should be completely okay to sell a pair of embroidery for a few taels of silver.

Wang Huiyuan's expression became more and more gloomy, and the whole person lost his original vitality, and his voice was hoarse and low, "I found the largest embroidery workshop in Los Angeles, but I didn't expect that the people there said that here, even if the embroidery is exquisite, it is useless, unless you are famous enough, otherwise a pair of embroidery is not worth a few silver; When the boss there saw that my embroidery was exquisite, he wanted to ask me to help the embroidery lady in their embroidery workshop, which meant that my embroidery would be sold with the reputation of the embroidery girl, and let me get a commission from it...... However, it is obviously my embroidery, why should I sell it in someone else's name? I had an argument with the boss, and later, even the embroidery workshop in Los Angeles refused to accept my embroidery......

Lin Mei listened to the righteous indignation, gritted her teeth and said straight, "That boss is too deceitful!" This is obviously your embroidery, they think you embroider well, directly invite you, why let your embroidery bear the name of others? What an abomination! ”

She thought that Wang Huiyuan couldn't pull her face and wouldn't do this kind of embroidery work, but she didn't expect that she looked down on Wang Huiyuan, who was indeed a daughter before, and she was so easy and hardworking; But now people can also endure hardships, not to say that they don't do any work! This made Lin Mei feel that she had re-acquainted herself with Wang Huiyuan, and she was really impressed by Shibei for three days......

Wang Huiyuan smiled slightly after listening to Lin Mei's words of hatred and hatred, and her smile was full of bitterness, "I thought that I would be able to live well without the Wang family, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't even support myself...... Lin Mei, I really shouldn't have made fun of you back then, your mother and her...... It's also amazing. ”

This is the first time Lin Mei has heard Wang Huiyuan say such things, and she is also a little emotional, when she was young, she never imagined that there would be such a day, and the daughter of the richest man in Linshan County would apologize to herself......

However, now is not the time to think about these things, the first priority is to help Wang Huiyuan find a livelihood, otherwise if she starves to death here, Lin Mei herself will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Why don't you go to Ding's house with me now, and when Shu Wangjin comes back, he has a lot of contacts here, and I think I can help you find a good embroidery workshop...... Or, if you want to do something else, you can also tell us, and I'll let Shu Wangjin help you see it when the time comes; L.A. is so big, and you have such a good craft, you won't starve to death here! ”

Lin Mei thought for a long time, smiled and said to Wang Huiyuan.

Wang Huiyuan saw Lin Mei's sincere consideration for herself, her throat couldn't help choking, and her heart was mixed for a while, and she couldn't say anything.

She had seen Lin Mei before, dressed luxuriously, chatting and laughing with a graceful and luxuriously dressed lady, such a posture, how could she still be like the poor and ugly stinky girl when she was a child, even she herself couldn't help but secretly feel inferior.

However, she didn't expect that Lin Mei had helped her so much regardless of her previous suspicions, and now she would continue to help herself find a livelihood, which really made her ...... It's better to be ashamed!

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan stopped talking, and knew that she was entangled again, so she directly took her hand and said, "Between the two of us, don't be embarrassed!" Besides, when I was young, I didn't know what ugly things you had, and what ugly things about me didn't you talk about everywhere? ”

Wang Huiyuan still lowered her head and didn't speak, but she was obviously a little moved by what Lin Mei said, it is indeed difficult for her to survive as a weak woman here, but if Shu Wangjin is willing to help, it will be an easy matter......

Lin Mei saw that Wang Huiyuan still didn't speak, and she couldn't care so much, so she directly pulled her to Qingyan's side, and said to Qingyan with a hippie smile at the end, "Qingyan, she is my friend, and she will go back to Ding's house with us later...... Well, she'll sleep with me tonight, now let's go get something to eat......"

Qing Yan saw Lin Mei pulling the Wang Huiyuan in front of him like this, and couldn't help but itch her teeth with hatred, and muttered in a low voice, "I really take myself seriously!" Just led a stranger into Ding's house, hum! ”

The reason why Lin Mei walked so fast was because she was afraid that Qing Yan would catch her nagging, but now it seems that she is lucky to run fast, otherwise she will definitely be preached by Qing Yan!

"Who's that woman?" Wang Huiyuan glanced back at Qing Yan and asked.

Lin Mei made a bitter face and whispered in Wang Huiyuan's ear, "It's the big girl next to Shu Wangjin, fierce to death, and ......" Lin Mei almost said "a fight with you before", but fortunately she stopped her mouth in time, smiled at Wang Huiyuan, and said busily, "It's nothing, nothing ......"

Wang Huiyuan glanced at the smirking Lin Mei in puzzlement, snorted lightly, turned his head arrogantly, and stopped paying attention to Lin Mei.

Qing Yan saw that Lin Mei and Wang Huiyuan were far away, so she couldn't help but follow, and dragged Lin Mei behind, forcing her to ask, "Who is this woman?" Don't be a bad guy! Lin Mei, if you don't explain honestly, you will go to the streets with her tonight; This Ding family will never tolerate you! ”

Lin Mei glanced at Qing Yan depressedly, it seemed that she was indeed frightened by Shu Yanjin's incident, for fear of provoking some wrongdoers, but Wang Huiyuan She couldn't understand it anymore, not to mention that it was all from the same place, how could she harm her?

"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 had a strong nature and refused to live with us in Ding's house, so she insisted on going out alone to earn a living; Now that I've seen her, it's impossible to ignore her......" (To be continued.) )
