The person who came in was none other than Zhou Xiaoyang.

He said hello as usual and went directly to the hall, and Qingbi came in first to report first, but before he could speak, Zhou Xiaoyang asked in a raised voice behind him, his sister is not there.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaofu got up first and introduced to the two young ladies of the Gu family with a smile: "This is my own brother Zhou Xiaoyang, he doesn't know that I have someone here, and I ask Sister Gu and Sister Gu not to mind." ”

Zhou Xiaofu said this because after all, in ancient times, there was a difference between men and women, although there would be many people here, and a single man like Zhou Xiaoyang could not meet a single girl without the presence of his elders.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyang also reacted, saluted the two girls briefly, and then turned to his sister and said, "Since my sister has someone here, I will come over in the afternoon for my brother." ”

After speaking, he said to the two young ladies of the Gu family and Zhou Xiaofu together: "Then I will leave first." ”

After Zhou Xiaoyang finished speaking, he nodded at Zhou Xiaofu and left, but his face was still red.

Zhou Xiaofu turned her head to look at Gu Changxi, and saw that her face was also red, and her eyes kept looking at the back of Zhou Xiaoyang's departure.

Zhou Xiaofu was surprised, and raised her eyebrows lightly to the two of them: "Sister Gu and Sister Gu should rest a little at noon, otherwise they will not be able to stand it in the afternoon." ”

Soon the two of them quickly got up and said goodbye, they really had to hurry: hurry up and take a rest, otherwise they really won't be able to bear it in the afternoon, originally in the Gu family before, their sisters have also participated in a few courses to learn the rules, where is this Mama Liu's strictness. even required that the corners of the skirt should not swing too much because of walking, at first they thought it was too harsh, but after watching Zhou Xiaofu and the three of them's demonstration, they felt that these were not legends that could really be done.

Gu Changxi and Gu Changben were the only three granddaughters of the Gu City Lord. They also have a very high status in the city and have a lot of knowledge, where would they have thought that the water in this capital is so deep that even a teaching grandmother can surprise them.

After sleeping in the afternoon, Ziling called Zhou Xiaofu and asked her to wash up with hot water, and Cuihua came in to report that Zhou Xiaolan was here.

Zhou Xiaolan entered the door and saw that Zhou Xiaofu was still washing. He sat on a chair next to him and quipped, "Did you have a good lunch?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu took the handkerchief handed over by Cuihua and wiped her face, then turned her face to look at Zhou Xiaolan's gloating face, and couldn't help asking: "You are still in the mood to ask me this, why are you really not in a hurry with your twenty-four filial sister." ”

Twenty-four filial sisters. Zhou Xiaolan was always worried about his sister when he was in Zhuangzi before, but Zhou Xiaofu said that he was the twenty-fourth little sister, Zhou Xiaolan didn't understand it at first, but after Zhou Xiaofu's explanation, he instantly felt that this word was too good. Isn't she the twenty-fourth filial sister? After a day of hard talk, my sister didn't understand herself.

Zhou Xiaolan sighed and said with a serious face: "Bin'er is still kneeling in the ancestral hall now, the ground is cold in April, and she has been kneeling for three days, I am afraid that this kneeling will come out and come out of it, thinking if you can sneak in at night to send a mat and food, but I am afraid that she will not grow up this time." ”

Zhou Xiaofu knew that Zhou Xiaolan definitely had something to do with coming so early, and it was for her sister. But this is also human nature, if one day Zhou Xiaoyang is also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. She'll find a way to eat at night, too.

Zhou Xiaofu simply wiped some space on her face and took out the skin care products, but she had already changed the small porcelain bottle as a container, and then called Ziling to comb her hair in a simple bun three or two times, and the two went out together.

Just after noon, the weather in April was warm, with a little breeze, very comfortable, the trees in the yard were already green, and the two walked together on the way to the greenhouse.

Zhou Xiaofu said slowly as she walked: "I will find a way to go in and send some food to the third sister in the evening, don't worry, it's just that you have to inform the grandmother in advance about what she wants to talk to the second uncle, so that the uncle will have a preparation when he comes back." ”

Zhou Xiaolan held his foot and reached out to hold Zhou Xiaofu's hands, then shook them tightly, with gratitude on his face, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, I have already asked me to go to the yamen to inform my father at noon." You should be careful about your sister's affairs, if you can't get in, forget it, maybe your grandmother will change her mind when my father comes back. ”

Zhou Xiaofu also stretched out her other hand to hold the hand holding each other, giving Zhou Xiaolan a stable smile and said, "Well, don't worry, I'll try it first." ”

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxi and the maid coming together, the two let go of their hands and entered the flower hall of the conservatory together.

The two of them were looked at by Zhou Xiaoxi just now, and they frowned and walked inside with the maid, but they whispered a word to the maid as they walked, and soon Zhou Xiaoxi's maid turned around and left first.

The training in the afternoon was basically the same as in the morning, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan, as well as Zhou Xiaoxi, the three old students, all practiced all the previous learning first, and then asked some questions about the knowledge taught before, such as the clothing in the palace.

After an hour had passed, the three of them sat down again, and except for helping the other six to correct some movements, they were basically very leisurely, and they had been sitting and resting.

And so it was, and another afternoon passed.

Just after getting Mama Liu's permission, everyone began to go out one after another.

As soon as she walked to the door, Mama Liu's maid A Zhao came to invite: "Miss Thursday, Mama Liu is invited." ”

Zhou Xiaofu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ah Zhao suspiciously, and didn't say anything, greeted Miss Gu and Zhou Xiaolan beside her and went in.

Mama Liu was still sitting on the chair in the corner, Zhou Xiaofu came in and saluted, and Mama Liu nodded and motioned for her to sit down.

After sitting down, Zhou Xiaofu looked at the triangular-eyed and mean-looking Mama Liu suspiciously, waiting for a question.

After drinking the water in the teacup, Mama Liu said, "I heard that Miss Thursday is going to participate in the draft this June?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Yes, Mama Liu, grandfather arranged it." ”

Mama Liu's eyebrows raised, and she smiled: "That means Miss Thursday is not willing?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu looked at Mama Liu with a smile and did not answer.

Mama Liu smiled and said, "Before I leave, if you want to enter the palace then come to me, I have a way to sue you,"

After Mama Liu finished speaking, she got up and left with Ah Zhao.

Zhou Xiaofu and Qingbi stood there together and were stunned for a while, and Qingbi said softly: "Miss, otherwise, let's ask Mama Liu, after all, she came out of the palace, and there must be a good way to make you not choose." ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Well, wait a minute, there's really no way to talk about it." ”

The two of them left together.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I listened to Zi Ningyu's report, and Zhou Xiaoyang came over.

The corners of Zhou Xiaofu's mouth raised a smile and went in.

Zhou Xiaoyang sat there drinking tea.

As soon as Zhou Xiaofu entered, she sat next to Zhou Xiaoyang and said, "Brother, you seem to have something happy?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyang put down the teacup and smiled: "Yes, I came to talk to you about this matter today." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoyang's face turned slightly red, remembering that he had met a girl he didn't know when he came at noon.

Zhou Xiaofu also noticed the change in Zhou Xiaoyang, but deliberately ignored it and asked directly: "What is it that my brother is so happy about?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyang was so excited with joy when he thought of this that he couldn't help but stand up and live: "Sister, I received an invitation from Liping Academy, where can I go to study in the second half of the year." ”

Liping Academy is the hidden college of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the number of students enrolled every year is limited, and all the prime ministers of the Kaiyuan Dynasty are from Liping Academy.

Therefore, this Liping Academy is also called the Prime Minister's College.

What an honor it is to be admitted to such a college.

No wonder Zhou Xiaoyang came over to sue him in a hurry.

Zhou Xiaofu was also very happy, and the brother and sister talked happily for a while, and then saw Ziling and Zining coming back with food boxes.

Zhou Xiaofu saw that today was also a happy day, so she left Zhou Xiaoyang to eat, and the brother and sister hadn't eaten together for a long time.

Settle the royal palace.

After listening to the short and fat Steward Ge report the outcome of the matter, Zhu Guli sat there and thought for a while before opening his mouth and asking, "How did I restore the words I brought to the Beicheng Inn last time?" ”

Steward Ge was very puzzled by the last time, but he still replied truthfully: "There is a letter from there, saying that there is a teacher to teach Mama Xi to teach the rules recently, and there is no way to go out, and it will be May at the earliest." ”

Zhu Guli raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "How can you let people come out in advance." ”

Steward Ge grew his mouth in surprise, but he still thought seriously for a while before saying: "Then hold a flower-viewing banquet or something in the mansion, and invite the girls of the next Zhou mansion, according to Zhou Yaozu, even if he wants to send his granddaughter into the palace for the draft, but if there is a better choice, he will definitely not let it go, so if he wants the girl to leave the house on Thursday, he can only give him a reason." ”

Zhu Guli nodded, yes, this Zhou Yaozu was an unscrupulous person in his previous life to achieve his goals, and he did not hesitate to ruin his granddaughter's reputation in order to get his granddaughter to marry in.

Such a person, a girl born in the Zhou Mansion, is the same as a commodity, as long as she is raised, she will be placed in various positions.

Zhu Guli felt a little irritated when he thought of this.

Scratching his hair, he said, "Go and arrange a flower-viewing banquet, and only invite twenty families to come." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Steward Ge's stunned appearance, got up and went out first.

Steward Ge's eyes widened, he reached out and touched his fat chin, pouted, and got up and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

In many cases, early the next morning, there were 20 families in Kyoto City with unmarried girls and official eunuch families who received invitations from the royal palace.

These twenty families are the ones who participated in the chrysanthemum banquet last year, and it can be regarded as a hint that a princess will be selected among these people.

As soon as he received the invitation letter from the palace, he felt a pity, and he knew that he was not in a hurry to marry his daughter, where can the county prince's mansion be compared to the king's mansion. (To be continued......)
