An Rong slowly opened his eyes, his clear and clear eyes were full of sleep, as if he was awake, and he was still whispering softly, "What to take?" ”

"Take what?" Xiao Li'er frowned like smoke and looked at the peony, "What does sister-in-law want?" ”

Peony shook her head like a wave drum, who knows what the young grandmother wants?

Xiao Li'er said loudly, and An Rong's sleepiness was completely disturbed.

It's just a little bit, she knows what Dongyan wants to pray for the king, why is she disturbed at every critical moment?

An Rong was quite depressed in his heart, but looking at Xiao Li'er's concerned eyes, An Rong couldn't blame him if he wanted to.

The gazebo was windy, and Xiao Li'er was afraid that she would blow a cool breeze and catch a cold, so she woke her up.

An Rong rubbed his shoulders lightly.

Xiao Li'er sat down opposite An Rong, An Rong looked at her with a smile and said, "I'm bored again?" ”

Xiao Li'er's face turned red, and she didn't shake her head and said no.

She's so bored.

Xiao Jin'er was busy embroidering the wedding dress, Mrs. Xiao San didn't allow her to disturb Xiao Jin'er's busy work, Xiao Li'er went to play with Xiao Chun'er, but in the past two days, Xiao Chun'er occasionally felt cold and coughed.

Xiao Li'er came to An Rong to pass the time, and An Rong teased her, saying that Xiao Jin'er is not a few days older than her, Xiao Jin'er is married, and it will be her turn to be the next, and she will inevitably be busy embroidering wedding dresses day and night in the future, and An Rongjian will start preparing now, so as not to be tired in the future.

After saying a few words, Xiao Li'er's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet and ran.

Now, Xiao Li'er has a feeling that the soles of her feet are smeared with oil and she wants to run quickly.

"Sister-in-law, you know how to make fun of me!" Xiao Li'er bit her lip and said.

An Rong covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, "Jin'er's family affairs are matchmakers, or your family affairs, how about I pull the red line for you?" ”

Xiao Li'er's face was as red as a burning cloud, and she was ashamed to stand up.

Bi'er, her maid, added fuel to the fire and boldly asked, "Young grandmother, which young master did you bring to my girl?" ”

An Rong was holding the teacup, and said with a smile when he heard the words. "The new champion."

Bi'er snorted slightly.

Xiao Li'er didn't leave either. Sitting upright, he drooped his eyes, "Sister-in-law, it will take two days to open the course." Where did the new champion come from? ”

Bi'er laughed. "Could it be that who is the new champion? Who will be the second aunt of the Guogong Mansion? ”

An Rong chuckled and nodded.

Xiao Li'er rolled her eyes, "Sister-in-law, are you sure you recognize the new champion?" ”

Peony also said. "That's right, what if the new champion has already been married, or even married a daughter-in-law?"

This Haikou is not something to boast about.

Peony muttered in her heart, and suddenly thought of one thing, she raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

I almost forgot it, the young grandmother is a person who lives a lifetime, she dares to say this so categorically, it must be the second girl who is married to the champion.

I just don't know who Champion Lang is?

Peony was scratching in her heart, she felt as if she was drilling into the eyes of money, when she won the handsome competition, Jingbei Hou Shizi won so much silver, she began to pay attention to gambling.

Three days later, the exam began, and the big and small gambling houses in Kyoto began to set up betting, blocking who would be the new champion of this year.

If the young grandmother knew who it was, she could have made a big gamble.

Thinking about it, Peony said, "Young grandma, many gambling houses in Kyoto are betting on who is the champion, let's also gamble, right?" ”

An Rong glanced at the peony and scolded, "I don't have a long memory." ”

Peony was reprimanded in a daze.

Bi'er smiled and said, "Some time ago, the prince won too much money, and this incident alarmed the emperor, and many people impeached him. ”

Peony thought she was saying something, just this matter, "The young grandmother is not an official in the court." ”

One sentence made Bi'er speechless.

An Rong also has no choice but to take peony, and gambling is such a thing, but An Rong doesn't like it.

At the beginning, if it weren't for the auspicious gambling house owned by the Xu family and King Qi, Xiao Zhan would not have bought Lian Xuan to win at all.

Moreover, betting on Zhuangyuanlang and Lian Xuan to buy himself to win is not the same thing.

The probability of Lian Xuan winning is too small, but the probability of winning is too great, so the odds are small, and it may not reach one to one.

There is no need to gamble.

An Rong duancha chuckled, "If you want to gamble, you can try it and earn yourself a dowry." ”

Peony's face turned red and she didn't speak again.

Bi'er began to scratch her heart and lungs, you asked, you quickly asked, who is the new champion.

No wonder Bi'er is in a hurry, every three years, there is such a champion, like a rarity.

On the day the list was released, how many people stared at the top three, the top three who didn't marry a wife, that is, Chenglong's fast son-in-law, who wanted to grab it, it was too late to start, but it was gone.

But Peony didn't ask, and she was embarrassed to ask, so as not to make Xiao Li'er feel that she really wished she was marrying Zhuangyuanlang, her daughter's family, when it came to marrying, she was always too thin-skinned.

Xiao Li'er hurriedly diverted the topic and talked about others.

It's Anrong, after sitting for a long time, I feel pantothenic in my waist.

She stood up, and Xiao Li'er also stood up and accompanied An Rong to the garden.

Chatting and chatting, Xiao Li'er talked about the makeup she prepared for Xiao Jin'er, she embroidered a screen with her own hands, not an ordinary rich peony, or a white-headed old man, but a scripture.

Bless Xiao Jin'er with peace and smoothness, after all, she is going to marry to Jizhou, the road is far away, it is not easy to see each other in the future, the Cui family is the richest man in Da Zhou, there is no shortage of wealth, compared to others, she hopes that Xiao Jin'er is safe.

It's not enough to embroider the scriptures, you have to find a master to open the light.

Xiao Jin'er's marriage is imminent, Xiao Li'er plans to go to the Jokhang Temple, and she mentioned this to An Rong for a reason.

The champion and the first pen of Jokhang Temple are rare in Kyoto.

Basically, the candidates who participate in the imperial examination will ask for one, or the brothers and sisters in the family will ask for one and give it to them, so as to hope that they will leap into the dragon gate and become the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

Wu'an Hou Mansion, Shen Anbei and Shen Anmin all had to go down to the examination room, Xiao Li'er felt that An Rong should ask for it, and she would ask for one. It happened to be together, and there was a companion.

An Rong nodded and said, "I'm going to go to the Jokhang Temple, just to ask for peace for my grandfather and grandfather." ”

Xiao Li'er nodded again and again, "Then when will you go?" ”

I will enter the examination room in three days, and there are only a few days to choose from, An Rong smiled, "Let's go tomorrow." ”

Xiao Li'er nodded, "Then Ming'er will go." ”

Bi'er said. "Girl. Your screen is still a few words away from being embroidered. ”

It will take six days for the eldest girl to get married, so don't worry.

Xiao Li'er said, "A few words, and the embroidery will be finished in a few hours." Don't delay leaving the house. ”

An Rong glanced at Bi'er. She knew that Xiao Li'er was accommodating her.

It is generally used as a screen for adding makeup. It's all double-sided embroidery, but it's not easy to embroider.

An Rong said, "It's easy to hurt your eyes when you stay up late at night." Let's embroider during the day. ”

Xiao Li'er nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, and Ming'er will go out of the house together." ”

An Rong nodded.

Xiao Lian'er blessed her body and turned to leave.

Bi'er pulled the peony aside, muttered a few words, and then ran to follow Xiao Li'er.

Leaving Peony standing there, a little messy.

An Rong glanced at her, and Peony said, "Bi'er also wants to earn a dowry for herself...... ”

That is, whoever buys peony is the champion of the new department, and she also buys whom.

Peony didn't think much about it, knowing that she could win, it was reasonable to earn a dowry for herself.

The corners of An Rong's mouth rose slightly.

Bi'er didn't want to earn a dowry for herself, she was purely curious about who would be the new champion.

An Rong didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "Zhao Chu." ”

"Zhao Chu?" Peony had already listened to herself, "Young grandmother, are you talking about the champion of the new department, or the secret guard of the Guogong Mansion?" ”

An Rong, "....... ”

Zhao Cheng, Zhao Feng, Zhao Xing, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Qi, Zhao ......

Beginning with Zhao, the two words, Peony recognizes, except for Zhao Yao, the son of Uncle Dingnan, who is the secret guard of the Guogong Mansion.

Peony was curious, "Why is the secret guard of the Guogong Mansion surnamed Zhao not surnamed Xiao?" ”

This question really turned An Rong down.

How does she know why the secret guard of the Guogong Mansion is surnamed Zhao?

An Rong thought from the garden to the inner room, but he didn't think about it.

She was still embarrassed, and then, An Rong wrote calligraphy and paintings to ask Xiao Zhan.

The result made An Rong cry and laugh.

The secret guard's surname is Zhao, and there is nothing special at all, just because Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhao ranks first, and he takes it casually.

As for why the surname is Xiao, Xiao is the master's surname, how can you casually let the secret guard be surnamed Xiao?

Think about the imperial court, if the emperor gives a surname to a minister, it is a good thing that there is green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and incense should be burned to worship the ancestors.

This is still secondary, you have to know how many secret guards there are in the Guogong Mansion, if they are all surnamed Xiao, it will not be easy to take a name for the juniors of the Guogong Mansion in the future, and it may be heavy......

Night, hazy.

The clouds in the sky are thick, and there are not a few stars in sight.

What can be seen is extraordinarily bright.

An Rong likes to watch the night sky, and leans against the window to enjoy the night when he has nothing to do.

In the past, An Rong only thought that the stars were very beautiful, but since she said that Ziweixing flickered brightly and dimmed, she was curious about how to flicker and flicker.

Xiao Laoguo told Qin Tianjian that Zi Weixing was pointing to the southwest, so that the three princes and the queen were worried about it, and they were on guard against the king.

Now they all know that Zi Weixing refers to Xiao Zhan, and the two who originally fought secretly even hugged each other, which is not a good thing.

Especially Xiao Zhan was bent on fighting against Dongyan, but they helped the enemy and dragged Xiao Zhan back.

An Rong didn't know what they thought, and if he sought skin with the tiger, wouldn't he worry about being eaten by the tiger and not even having any bones left?

Also, is the purple microstar still flickering on and off?

An Rong looked at the night sky, not bad.

Haitang knew what An Rong was looking at, and said, "Young grandma, don't look at it, her neck is sore, isn't Ming'er going to Jokhang Temple, isn't it okay to ask the blind master?" ”

Peony nodded, "That's it, the slave has been watching it for several days, and she gets dizzy when there are more stars." ”

An Rong didn't look back, stretched out his hand, and said, "Look, is that star redder than yesterday?" ”

Peony's eyes blinked, blinked, and then shook her head.

She had forgotten what the stars looked at yesterday.

But Haitang nodded, "It's a lot red, the old man in the house said, the stars are dark red, and there is a catastrophe." ”

I don't know where the people are going to have a hard time again.

Begonia sighed in her heart.

The next day, after breakfast, An Rong went to the Rosewood Courtyard to greet the old lady.

When Anrong enters. The house was talking about the border gates.

An Rong thought that she knew enough about the border pass, but she didn't think that there were still some things she didn't know.

Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Last night, three places in Qiancheng were on fire. ”

Mrs. Xiao San scolded, "The thieves in Dongyan are too ruthless, and they fight honestly when they fight, and they want to kill people and set fires, which disturbs people's hearts." ”

Only then did An Rong know.

Day. The enemy climbed up from the cliff of Cotton City. After burning half of the cotton city, some of the secret guards stayed in the cotton city and robbed Xiao Zhan's grain and grass, and some of them dressed up in disguise. From Cotton City all the way into the abdomen of the Great Week. Every place to go. He set a few fires and killed the officials of the imperial court, and it is said that no less than ten officials died at the hands of the enemy in Dongyan.

This thing. It has already caused turmoil in the court.

The civil and military officials felt that this was Xiao Zhan's fault.

The area around Yingcheng was guarded by Xiao Zhan, and the enemy climbed up from the cliff of Miancheng, which was not good for him to guard.

Mrs. Xiao Si said, "Those people acted recklessly in Da Zhou, and ran away when they set fire, and they couldn't catch it at all." ”

Xiao Li'er said, "If you can't catch it, you have to catch it, can they just let them kill the people of my Great Zhou?" ”

Mrs. Xiao San glanced at Xiao Li'er and said, "As for those wine bags and rice bags in the imperial court, I'm afraid that they will be killed before they catch the enemy." ”

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Mrs. Xiao San and said, "The emperor handed over this matter to Prince Rui to investigate." ”

The corners of Mrs. Xiao's mouth twitched, took a sip of tea, and didn't speak again.

An Rong asked the old lady for peace, and then left the house with Xiao Li'er.

The two shared a carriage, talking and laughing.

As he was talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Xiao Li'er blinked, "Why did you stop?" ”

Zhao Chengcheng said, "Young grandmother, it's the carriage of Ningfu. ”

Xiao Li'er lifted the curtain and saw the carriage of Ning Mansion on the opposite side parked there, and Ning Qianrou also opened the curtain and looked over, but she got out of the carriage.

Like waiting here on purpose?

Not to mention, it really is.

She got out of the carriage, Xiao Li'er also went down, and then An Rong also came down.

Ning Xianrou's cheeks turned crimson and said, "I originally wanted to ask you to talk in the Liuli Pavilion, but when the maid went to make an appointment with you, you were already out of the house, so I chased you from another way." ”

Ning Qianrou is going to marry into the Guogong Mansion, and these days, she can't enter the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Xiao Li'er looked at Ning Qianrou and asked, "You have an urgent matter for us?" ”

If you weren't in a hurry, you shouldn't be able to meet again today.

Ning Xianrou nodded, her voice as weak as a warbler's cry, "I'm clumsy, I broke the glass lamp ...... the morning ago." ”

There is a night pearl in the glass lamp, and at night, it is placed in her house for lighting.

It's just that she's about to get married, and although she doesn't want to get married, she can't quit her family.

She had to hand over this glass lamp like An Rong.

The morning before yesterday, Ning Qianrou took the glass lamp, took the brocade box, and put it on the table, thinking about how to deal with it.

Who would have thought that Second Master Ning and Second Mrs. Ning would come to see how her wedding dress was embroidered.

When Ning Xianrou took the wedding dress, the clothes hooked the brocade box and dropped the brocade box directly.

In the past two days, Ning Xianrou was worried about the glass lamp.

It's a big Kyoto, and I can't buy glass.

No, thinking about it, thinking about it, An Rong dropped the glass lamp before and found a new one, maybe she knew where to sell it, and she couldn't wait to get married, so Ning Qianrou came to ask.

Ning Xianrou looked at An Rong and bit her lip lightly, she also knew that she was embarrassed by An Rong, but she really didn't know what to do.

This is really a bit difficult for An Rong.

She has a glass lamp, but in the wooden bracelet, she can't take it out if she wants to, and she can't get in.

An Rong had no choice but to say, "I can help you, but I don't know when I will get it." ”

This month, she hasn't entered the wooden bracelet yet, I don't know if she can still go in?

Go back and try it tonight.

An Rong agreed, and Ning Xianrou was relieved, and was about to speak.

There was a thud, followed by muffled pain and crying.

Before An Rong could react, Peony said, "Young grandmother, it's the eldest young master!" (To be continued......)
