Gong Xiru jumped up to the second floor, felt the breath, and walked towards the innermost room on the second floor.

After seeing him, Princess Haining's sad face finally showed a smile.

"I haven't seen Master Hou for a long time, Master Hou has been doing well lately."

In addition to Princess Haining, there are four old men in the house, judging from the breath, it seems that they are no different from ordinary old people, but appearing in such a place, Gong Xiru obviously does not think that they are just ordinary people.

"The princess has rarely looked for me lately." Gong Xiru's face was pale.

"Sit." Princess Haining pointed to the empty seat next to her, and said to the other four: "They are all your own people, you don't have to worry." ”

An old man frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied: "Princess, this person is the Marquis of Northern Qin, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to appear here." ”

Princess Haining's face was cold: "He is the Marquis of Northern Qin, but he is also my person."

Do you think that this princess has been here for more than half a year, and she has just eaten, drunk and had fun and done nothing? Although my father sent you to help, it is up to the princess to have the final say. There is no need to discuss this matter again. ”

The old man stopped talking, and the other said, "Princess, since you trust this person, then I won't ask too much." It's just about Wu County, we still need to discuss it again. ”

Gong Xiru's eyes moved slightly.

Princess Haining frowned again, looked at Gong Xiru and said, "I have already discussed with your father, if the Gong family can help me Ning Guo this time, I will not treat you badly." ”

Gong Xiru nodded and arched her hand: "If the princess has orders, just say it." ”

Princess Haining smiled at the corner of her mouth and whispered in Gong Xiru's ear.

When leaving. Princess Haining took Gong Xiru's hand and said sincerely: "You know that I have you in my heart, as long as this matter is done." Shall I marry you? ”

Gong Xiru's eyes flashed with joy, although it was light, it still made Princess Haining see it really.

Princess Haining patted his hand: "I know what you mean, go back quickly, there will be a place for you to work hard at that time." ”

Gong Sheng watched Gong Xiru come down from the second floor and hurriedly walked over. After leaving the inn with the latter, he looked back with a sigh: "I've been looking for so long, but I didn't expect them to move the nest here."

Who knows these officials. In fact, they are all from Ningguo, and the small ones are unimaginable no matter what. ”

"That's because you're stupid." Gong Xiru hit him.

Gong Sheng smiled, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Gong Xiru was the first to interrupt him, "Don't speak." There is no good thing to say in one mouth. ”

"In that case. The little one shut up and didn't say anything-" After a pause, he shook his head regretfully: "I originally wanted to say that on the way here, the little one's sharp eyes saw the person that Hou Ye cared about, and since Hou Ye asked the little one to shut up, the little one didn't say anything." ”

Gong Xiru paused, looked at him and asked, "Did you see her?" Why don't you alert me. ”

Gong Sheng spread his hands innocently: "How do you know that in the eyes of Master Hou, it is the princess's summoning that is important, or the eldest lady of Lingfu is important." ”

Gong Xiru glared at him viciously. Shake your head and leave.

Gong Sheng hurriedly chased after him and said, "In a few days it will be Miss Ling's birthday, and Master Hou will go to see her when the time comes." If you can still go in the bright light, you can climb other people's walls and courtyards like last time, but don't come again. ”

The speed under Gong Xiru's feet became faster and faster.

Although the Ling Mansion was involved in human life, this did not affect everyone's opinion of the Ling family, the birthday of the Ling family's concubine was still full of guests as last year, but this year's weather was cold early, and the weather was not as good as last year.

The night before, Hu Shi was so excited that he almost didn't sleep, running back and forth in the kitchen and lying down for a long time, checking whether the dishes were ready, whether the tables and chopsticks were complete, and there was no idle inside and outside the courtyard.

Just after mid-hour, she went to the Lan Pavilion to knock on the door with the newly cut clothes for Ling Yi.

Weaving fans and weaving feathers are also excited, on this day, they want to dress Ling Yi in the most beautiful clothes, comb the most popular and good-looking buns, and put on the most beautiful makeup, in short, everything must be the best.

Ling Yi also cooperated, and got up without anyone shouting, and obediently sat in front of the mirror and let the three of them toss.

After an hour, she cleaned up, and according to etiquette, she was going to greet the Lan family and the Zou family.

After saying goodbye, Ling Yi began to be responsible for entertaining the female guests in the backyard.

This hour is still early, there are not many people coming, Ling Yi is too lazy to sit outside to blow the cold wind, let Zhi Yu lift the curtain of the Lan Pavilion, sit in the house by himself, and wait for someone to come, he will go to the door to greet him, and then invite people into the house, drink tea and chat with melon seeds.

Bai Miaoqi came very early, in addition to a big gift that had been handed over to the steward to receive, she also specially pulled Ling Yidao to whisper, and gave the latter a gift specially prepared by herself.

"What is this?" Ling Yi looked at the small bag in his hand and made a gesture to open it.

"Eh, don't open it." Bai Miaoqi hurriedly blocked Ling Yi's hand, "If you turn on the aura, it will be dispersed, I specially went to the temple to ask for it." ”

Ling Yi pinched it and said with a smile: "Isn't it fragrant ash?" ”

Bai Miaoqi said mysteriously: "This is not ordinary incense ash, this is what I asked Master to take under the Moon Old Altar, which can bring you a good marriage." ”

She has always been worried about Ling Yi's lifelong refusal to marry, and always feels that Ling Yi has been wronged by this matter.

And she also knew a little about that incident at the beginning, in her opinion, that is, Ling Yi forced by the Zou family to say something like that, so she specially asked for such a lucky bag.

Ling Yi knew that she had good intentions, although she really didn't believe that marriage could be brought by such a small bag, but in order not to brush off Bai Miaoqi's kindness, she still hung the bag on her belt.

"It's just right, I deliberately picked a plain bag, and you will take it with you wherever you go in the future." Bai Miaojian was very satisfied.

Ling Yi smiled slightly, "Got it, let's go, hurry up and have breakfast, the guests who come early are all close, and they have to eat breakfast." ”

Bai Miaoqi took her hand, and along with a few other relatives, she also went out together.

"Fusheng, you go slowly, I and your red sister can't catch up." The voice of a middle-aged woman came from behind her.

This woman is Ling Shandao's third sister Ling Yulin, that is, Ling Yi's third aunt, married to the prefect Sun Bin as his wife, and has a son and a daughter, named Sun Zhou and Sun Hong respectively.

Ling Yi stopped and looked back, and smiled at the woman: "Third aunt, go faster, everyone is hungry." ”

Sun Hong is two years younger than Ling Yi, and now she is only twelve, blinking her big curious eyes, pointing at Ling Yi and asking, "You are the floating sister who said that she would never marry for the rest of her life and would eat and drink in Ling Mansion?" ”

As soon as the words fell, except for Bai Miaojian and the people around Ling Yi, the rest of them were stunned, and they all looked at Ling Yi with strange expressions.

Ling Yulin's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly covered Sun Hong's mouth and patted her: "What nonsense, don't you apologize to my sister quickly."

Your floating sister Hua Rongyue is more beautiful than the fairy, and she is still worried that she can't get married? I look at your face, so I have to worry about not being able to get married. ”

Sun Hong pouted dissatisfiedly and muttered, "I didn't say the wrong thing again." ”

Ling Yulin looked at Ling Yi apologetically and said, "Fusheng, the child is talking nonsense, he must have listened to the instigation of his subordinates, don't care." ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly: "Tong Yan Wuji, how could I take it to heart, not to mention that except for one point, she is not wrong."

I do have plans not to get married, but it's not a matter of eating and drinking, I'm in my own home, eating, drinking and having fun. ”

Ling Yulin's smile was slightly unnatural, "Yes, the child is talking nonsense, don't worry, let's hurry over." Don't keep guests waiting. ”

"I'm just afraid that the third aunt and Sister Hong will have to wait for a long time, that's why they go so fast." Ling Yi smiled and continued to lead the way in front.

Bai Miaoqi clenched her fists and said in Ling Yi's ear: "Fusheng, she is too much, even I know that she must have done it on purpose, who is this pretending." ”

Ling Yi patted her hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's just a person who gets married, and it can't stop me." ”

Ling Yulin watched Ling Yi go farther and farther, and the apologetic smile on his face became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into disdain.

"Hmph, it's just an eldest daughter, I think she's going to go to heaven proudly, why is she in her own home? It's also a little shameless, since ancient times, which daughter's family can stay in her mother's house for a lifetime. ”

Sun Hong rubbed her shoulders and complained: "Mother, you hit too hard, didn't you just mean it?" Also, am I really worse than her? ”

Ling Yulin hurriedly comforted her, "Well, isn't that a coaxing mother, of course you are a hundred times better looking than her, go back and make you a new set of clothes, it can be regarded as compensation." ”

Sun Hong said with satisfaction.

There are only about a dozen tables of guests for breakfast, except for those who are friends with the Ling Mansion, the rest are all relatives of the Ling Mansion, Ling Yi is now starting to take care of the housework, coupled with her status as a concubine, it is natural to walk around to greet at this time.

Sitting at the table with Ling Shandao, in addition to the heads and eldest sons of the other three families, there was also the Ling Shanzhi family, the second master of Ling, and several other close relatives of the Ling Mansion.

Ling Yi walked over to toast with everyone, her elegant expression was natural, and she couldn't see the slightest immaturity, if it weren't for her fourteenth birthday, it would really be difficult to remind people that this woman was still so young.

"Fusheng has saluted your uncles." With a simple greeting, Ling Yi filled a few elders with wine, and finally drank tea instead of wine with a table of people.

Just as he was about to bow and leave, he heard Ling Shanzhi smile and said: "Big brother is so blessed, Fusheng is so sensible, if you marry in the future, I'm afraid you will be reluctant to give up your life." ”

The smile on Ling Shandao's face froze.

The discerning person could see his displeasure, and Ling Shanzhi continued as if he hadn't seen it: "Big brother, I heard my mother say that Fusheng hasn't allowed anyone yet, there are so many good men today, I don't know if you have a fancy for it?" I've got a good candidate or two. ”

If it doesn't matter if it is anything else, it sounds like a second uncle's concern, but for a family like Ling Fu, it means different.

Ling Shandao was about to shut up his younger brother when he heard Ling Yi smile and said, "Thank you Second Uncle for caring so much about Fusheng's lifelong affairs, in fact, Fusheng has an idea in his heart." ”

As soon as these words fell, even Ling Shandao couldn't help but look at Ling Yi, with questions and even expectations in his eyes. (To be continued......)
