As soon as she heard that Xiao Li'er was coming, a smile flashed in An Rong's eyes.

She came just in time, time was short, and she was looking for a few more people to help.

Thinking about it, An Rong left the table and walked out of the pharmacy.

Xiao Li'er sat there, looking forward to it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and saw An Rong walking in.

Seeing An Rong, Xiao Li'er was overjoyed and called, "Sister-in-law." ”

Her voice is as crisp as raindrops, mountain springs, and gurgling water.

She blessed herself to greet An Rong, and An Rong helped her up.

She looked at An Rong carefully, her skin was as white as ever, but there was a pale blue under her eyes, and she looked a little tired.

Xiao Li'er helped An Rong and said, "Sister-in-law, grandfather asked you to help your eldest brother, don't be too tired." ”

An Rong smiled, "It's just a little sleepless, sleep beautifully at night, and the next day you will be in good spirits, and it won't be in the way." ”

Saying that, An Rong paused and said with a smile, "I heard the maid say, how many times have you come to me?" ”

Xiao Li'er's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at An Rong's wrist.

On An Rong's wrist, there was a jade bracelet with a little yellow in the orange.

Xiao Li'er blinked slightly, and there was a mist in her eyes.

The mother said that Mrs. Tai's wooden bracelet may be in the hands of the sister-in-law, is this one?

It's just that it doesn't look like it, the wooden bracelet back then, she didn't try it on, even if it looks ugly, she can't wear it.

The Xiao family, including protecting his grandfather, did not dislike it, how could it become such a beautiful jade bracelet?

Moreover, when Princess Beilie Chaotian still wanted her sister-in-law's bracelet, what did she find?

I saw Xiao Li'er staring at the jade bracelet on her wrist. An Rong's brows furrowed slightly.

Coincidentally, Xiao Li'er raised her eyes and saw An Rong twisting her eyebrows. Xiao Li'er hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law." Don't get me wrong, I'm not coveting your bracelet ....... ”

Xiao Li'er said, Peony quickly asked the maid in the house to retreat, and she also went out.

The less people know about the wooden bracelet, the better, this is what Grandpa Guo advised.

When everyone left, Xiao Li'er's face turned even redder, and she explained again and again, "Sister-in-law." I'm just curious, nothing else. ”

An Rong smiled, "I know, there are some things that can't be hidden at all. ”

It's okay to hide from people outside the Guogong Mansion, but if you want to hide from the wives of the Guogong Mansion, it's hard to climb to the sky.

First of all, the Jade Pavilion was built in the hands of Mrs. Tai, who left a bunch of jewelry drawings, as well as the way the Jade Pavilion was operated.

Because the jewelry drawings ran out. Jade Jin Pavilion was in trouble, and it was nothing that she had sold the jewelry she had accumulated before.

But this time, she took the jewelry out of the bracelet again. Although it is very different from the previous ones, the paper or style of the jewelry picture cannot be hidden from Mrs. Xiao San, who has managed the Jade Pavilion.

There are also nine-turn glass lanterns, which Mrs. Tai took to play with Mrs. Jingbei Hou and Prince Ding. In the whole big week, there are just two of them.

Now there is another one. Can it be said to be a coincidence?

I guessed that she had something to do with Mrs. Tai.

Plus. The Jade Jin Pavilion is extremely important to the Xiao Guogong Mansion, to the Xiao Lao Guo Gong and the Xiao General, if Xiao Lao Guo Gong had a way, it would not have dragged on until now.

Obviously, the problem was with the wooden bracelet that Mrs. Xiao left behind that no one could wear.

Xiao Li'er shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly, "Sister-in-law, if you say such a baby, no one in the Guogong Mansion covets it, no one wants it, even I don't believe it, but don't worry, everyone just thinks about it, it is inevitable that there is some jealousy of you in the bottom of your heart, the husband is not guilty, if you want to rob it crookedly, then no one will rob it, the daughter of the Xiao family is born, and when she marries a new daughter-in-law, her grandfather will let them wear wooden bracelets, no one can look at it, and no one can wear it. Broken wood that can't be burned. ”

Xiao Li'er was telling the truth.

To say that before, the Xiao family's heirloom wooden bracelet was a very hard piece of wood, no one could look at it, so to speak, even if it was thrown on the ground, no one would take a second look.

But now, everyone believes that the Xiao family heirloom bracelet is really a treasure, and everyone wants it, but what if you want it?

At the beginning, this treasure was not in their hands, everyone had seen it, taken it, disliked it, and prayed in the bottom of my heart that Grandpa Guo would not reward them with this broken thing.

Everyone has a sense of remorse that they have no beads in their eyes and want to gouge out their eyes.

But it's useless to regret it, even if you give them the wooden bracelet now, what can you change?

Still can't use it.

This is a treasure that can be seen and touched, but cannot be used.

For such a thing, to fight for it, you will never be able to succeed, not to mention, and you have offended An Rong, and provoked Xiao Laoguogong to dislike it.

Such a stupid thing would be done by a fool.

It's just that there is inevitably some discomfort in my heart, some envy and jealousy, the same person, the same Xiao family's daughter-in-law, why can An Rong wear the Xiao family's wooden bracelet, but they can't?

They even understood why Xiao Laoguo's guild loved An Rong in every way and doted on him.

Xiao Li'er said a lot, explaining that she looked at the wooden bracelet a few more times, not because she wanted the wooden bracelet, so that An Rong could feel relieved.

An Rong also explained a few words, she smiled bitterly, "This wooden bracelet is the Xiao family's thing, I know, I am not afraid that the Xiao family will want it, but the wooden bracelet cannot be taken off when I wear it, if I really want it, I can only chop my hands, what I am reluctant is my own hand, not the wooden bracelet." ”

An Rong said, Xiao Li'er's eyes widened, and then widened, "Can't take it off?" ”

An Rong drooped his eyes and raised his arm, "You try." ”

Xiao Li'er shook her head, she didn't try, didn't it mean that she wanted to take off her eldest cousin's wooden bracelet and keep it for herself?

An Rong smiled, "To be honest, although the wooden bracelet is precious, but I love my hands more, if one day the wooden bracelet leaks, attracting Xiao Xiao coveted, my hand is not dangerous, if anyone helps me take off the wooden bracelet, I thank him." ”

An Rong smiled, sincere and bright.

Xiao Li'er believed that what An Rong said was true, pushing herself and others, let her lose a hand for such a baby, she would definitely not be willing. She is not short of money.

An Rong never withdrew his hand, and Xiao Li'er really tried it.

Picked for a long time. In addition to making An Rong's hand red and a little swollen. The bracelet is still worn on An Rong's wrist.

Xiao Li'er apologized, "Sister-in-law, I used too much force...... ”

How could An Rong blame her, in fact, she did it herself, but she smiled, "It's not okay to make amends, you have to do me a favor." ”

Xiao Li'er looked at An Rong in a daze, "What's busy?" ”

Xiao Li'er was a little worried, she was afraid that it would be difficult for An Rong to ask her to help. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to.

You must know that the person who Xiao Guogong's Mansion can't offend the most now is Anrong.

She wears a wooden bracelet from the Xiao family, has a very high status, and is very wealthy.

An Rong smiled, "It's not very difficult, you also know, I broke the nine-turn glass lantern at the lantern festival, and I have to pay for a new one." It's just a glass lamp, representing the goddess of flowers, it's not appropriate for me to give it to anyone, I plan to re-elect the goddess of flowers. Furthermore, I perform it before the draft, and time is tight, in addition. I also have to be busy raising military salaries for the prime minister, and I don't have the skills. I'm afraid that there is something that is not taken care of, and I want to ask you and Jin'er to help me. ”

Xiao Li'er listened. His face wrinkled into a bun, "Sister-in-law, this is not difficult, how can Jin'er and I go to the emperor to hold another lantern festival?" ”

Kyoto, the city is forbidden at night, unless there are specific days of the year, people who are idle cannot travel at night, and if they don't do it, they will be arrested by the officers and soldiers who patrol the night.

It's not difficult, it's embarrassing.

An Rong scratched his forehead and said, "You misunderstood what I meant, I didn't want to hold a lantern festival, the Hundred Flowers Goddess can hold it during the day." ”

Xiao Li'er was relieved when she heard this, and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, it's good if you say no, it's scared me to death, isn't it just a bunch of beautiful women's competitions, the most powerful, just give her the title of the glass lamp and the goddess of flowers." ”

An Rong nodded repeatedly, "That's it." ”

Xiao Li'er smiled, her eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, dazzling and shining.

"Although the draft is imminent, but sister-in-law, you will definitely attract many people to hold a glass banquet, even if there is no glass lamp, just the title of a hundred flowers goddess is enough to make those show girls who are about to enter the palace flock to it."

An Rong also smiled, "Liuli Banquet, this name is wonderful, I planned to invite the ten most noble ladies in Kyoto to participate in the banquet, so that those ladies can compete in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and the noble ladies will score it, remove the highest score and the lowest score, and hand over the glass lamp to her." ”

When Xiao Li'er heard this, she nodded again and again, and then said, "Why do you want to remove the highest score and the lowest score?" ”

In order to study the competition, An Rongke flipped through many books in the wooden bracelet.

"The removal of a maximum score and a minimum score is to ensure the fairness of the game."

Xiao Li'er understood as soon as she heard it, for example, if she participated in the competition, her mother was the judge, and she would definitely give her the highest score, even if she was modest, it was impossible to give a low score, in case she met someone who disliked her, and gave her a very low score, it would be unfair.

Xiao Li'er nodded and said, "Just do what your sister-in-law wants, and make sure that people feel that the Hundred Flowers Goddess is what everyone wants." ”

The more she thought about it, the more excited Xiao Li'er became.

She faintly felt that this glass banquet would directly affect the draft in the palace.

Seeing that Xiao Li'er was very interested in the glass banquet, An Rong was ruthless, so he left all this matter to her.

Xiao Li'er glanced at An Rong, and really took over generously, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, if I don't do it well, you can't blame me." ”

An Rong rolled his eyes, "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people." ”

Although she handed over the glass banquet to Xiao Li'er and Xiao Jin'er, but behind the two of them were Mrs. Xiao San and Mrs. Xiao, her daughter's first banquet was held so big and so grand, they couldn't sit idly by, with two Mrs. Xiao here, what else did she not worry about?

An Rong said with a smile, "The one with the highest score, in addition to the title of the Hundred Flowers Goddess, also has the mission of guarding the glass lantern, in addition, there are other rewards I added, the top three are all there." ”

"What reward?" Xiao Li'er was curious.

She felt that An Rong held such a grand banquet for those rewards.

But An Rong sold Guan Zi and didn't sue her.

Xiao Li'er didn't force it, the glass banquet was held soon, won't you know when the time comes?

There are still three days before the show girl enters the palace, and the glass banquet can only be held the day before the draft, that is, the day after tomorrow.

Then the time to prepare is tomorrow?

Xiao Li'er is under a lot of pressure.

She thought for a while and said, "If it's too late, I'll let the eldest aunt enter the palace to beg the queen mother and let the draft be moved back for a day or two." ”

An Rong, "....... ”

Xiao Guogong's mansion, whether it is a young master or a girl, is quite domineering.

Let the draft be rescheduled for the glass banquet.

An Rong was embarrassed.

She didn't dare to think about it, she was really weak.

Xiao Li'er is not only domineering, but also very impatient, she said, "I'll go to the eldest sister and ask the eldest aunt and my mother if they can do it in one day, sister-in-law, I'm leaving." ”

With that, Xiao Li'er was blessed and left quickly.

Leaving An Rong to look at the sky, she should also be domineering, how to say that she is also the granddaughter-in-law of Xiao Guogong's mansion, she can't fall into the prestige of Xiao Guogong's mansion.

Xiao Li'er went out, and Peony hurried in.

An Rong asked her, "Before I disappeared, how did I tell you to do it?" ”

Peony patted her chest and said, "Young grandma, don't worry, what I did with Haitang, how could it go wrong?" Besides, there is also Brother Zhao Cheng. ”
