On this day, the weather was fine and sunny.

After breakfast, An Rong took the maid to the Rosewood Courtyard to greet the old lady.

As soon as I saw the koi play lotus rosewood screen, I heard a distressed sound from the house, it was the old lady's.

I just listened to her, "Let my grandmother see, why do you have two small bumps on her face, does it hurt?" ”

An Rong spared the rosewood screen and went in, and saw the old lady looking at Xiao Li'er's pretty face, and asked, "Is it on fire?" ”

This was asked by Mrs. Xiao San.

Mrs. Xiao San shook her head and said, "I don't know, it doesn't look like it's on fire." ”

The old lady frowned, "What do you mean, you are not a doctor, what can you see, why don't you go and ask the doctor to come." ”

Xiao Li'er pouted and sat there and said, "Grandmother, it's not in the way, it'll be fine in two days without medicine." ”

Mrs. Xiao San instructed the maid to ask for a doctor, and then said, "You should be obedient, if you have a scar on your face, it will be ugly." ”

Xiao Li'er touched the red rash on the tip of her nose and puffed out her cheeks, "How can it be so exaggerated." ”

Saying that, seeing An Rong, Xiao Li'er smiled and said, "Even if you are disfigured, don't you still have sister-in-law's soothing ointment?" ”

An Rong stepped forward with a smile and blessed the old lady and several ladies to say goodbye.

When it came to soothing ointment, Mrs. Xiao remembered what she heard in the Hou Mansion yesterday and asked An Rong, "I heard that Princess Zhuang returned two boxes of soothing ointment to you, or it was made by Princess Chaotian herself, but is it true?" ”

An Rong nodded, "It's true." ”

The old lady listened and said, "I see that Princess Zhuang was hit hard by Prince Zhuang's matter, and I don't know what kind of thing she will do. ”

An Rong wanted to say that the ointment should be fine. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed and nodded.

Sitting on the rosewood carved chair on the side, listening to the old lady and several ladies talking, occasionally Xiao Jin'er and they also answered a few sentences.

Anrong, they all listen with their ears.

As he spoke, he talked about the Jade Pavilion. It was Mrs. Xiao Si who mentioned it first. She asked Mrs. Xiao San, "Did the business of the Jade Jin Pavilion improve a little yesterday?" ”

It's like I've been poked in some sore spot. Mrs. Xiao San's face turned blue in an instant, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand moved lightly, and she said in an unhappy tone, "What's getting better." Yesterday, the Marquis of Wu'an married his wife, and most of the civil and military officials took their wives to Daoxi. How can I have time to go to Yujin Pavilion to buy jewelry, I hope that business can improve today. ”

Lying down and getting shot, as long as Mrs. Xiao San mentioned Yujin Pavilion, her heart beat irregularly.

An Rong lowered his head and rolled his eyes. She is already speechless to Mrs. Xiao San, if you complain, complain, can you not look at her with that unhappy look. What's the matter with her?

Mrs. Xiao said, "I chatted with those noble ladies yesterday. They all said that the recent jewelry of Yujin Pavilion was very inferior, and I didn't go to see what it had become. ”

Mrs. Xiao San turned pale and said, "It's really inferior." ”

Originally, the business was sluggish, and Grandpa Guo specially asked the best master to create a pair of hostas for An Rong overnight, which made her angry.

If this continues, Mrs. Xiao San feels that she can dig out seven seven eight eight at the bottom of the pressure box.

When I think about it, I regret the headache and heartache, but I don't know what to do.

Mrs. Xiao San remembered what Master Xiao San said to her, and her eyes twisted.

Master Xiao San asked her to compensate An Rong, say a few soft words, and see if she can take over the business of Yujin Pavilion again, and the loss of three rooms in the past few days will be compensated according to one thousand taels a day, otherwise An Rong and Xiao Zhan will suffer.

Wouldn't she pay for it? Where did she go wrong?!

If you really lost it, wouldn't you slap yourself a few times in front of An Rong, saying that you grabbed the right to operate the shop, and then rushed to send the silver?

But if she didn't get rid of the Jade Jin Pavilion quickly, she would regret it even more.

Mrs. Xiao San furrowed her brows in a tangled manner.

Soon, this topic was diverted, and the old lady asked Mrs. Xiao, "How many days does the emperor have to live?" ”

"Eight days are left today," replied Mrs. Shaw.

The old lady nodded, "The birthday gift for the emperor is extraordinary, and you must prepare with all your heart." ”

Mrs. Xiao nodded yes.

The old lady looked at An Rong again and said, "When you and Zhan'er got married, the emperor recognized Zhan'er as a righteous son. ”

An Rong quickly stood up and replied, "An Rong must prepare carefully." ”

Waiting for An Rong to sit down, Second Mrs. Xiao said, "After the emperor's birthday, the palace will prepare for the draft, should our Guogong Mansion participate in the draft?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.

The ladies were silent.

In the general draft, the unmarried school-age daughters of the four-rank official families have to enter the palace.

The Guogong Mansion, the daughters of several wives, all meet the requirements.

With the powerful position of the national government, he can't afford to send his daughter to the palace to seek any wealth and glory.

Especially the emperor is not young, they are all at the age when they can be their fathers, and they will definitely not be able to choose a concubine, and there is a * to marry a few princes.

As long as Xiao Jin'er and the others enter the palace, they will definitely set off a lot of storms in the palace.

Which prince doesn't want the support of the Xiao Guo Mansion?

As long as the Duke of Xiao Guo spares no effort to support him, he is a prince, and if he wants to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, there is also a possibility of seven or eight points.

Such a temptation is there, but I am afraid that those princes will fight for their heads and blood.

Thinking of those possibilities, the old lady sighed a little, waved her hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you have the grandfather of the country in charge." ”

No one talked about it anymore.

An Rong sat for a while, then got up and left.

As soon as I got out of the Rosewood Courtyard, I heard a verdant voice behind me, "Sister-in-law." ”

An Rong turned around and saw Xiao Li'er walking over, three points faster than usual.

An Rongxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, I don't know what Xiao Li'er is looking for her?

Could it be for the two little red bumps on the face?

Xiao Li'er stepped forward and respectfully blessed her body.

An Rongxiao asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Xiao Li'er nodded, glanced back, and said. "There are some things, sister-in-law, I will compensate you on behalf of my mother, I hope that my sister-in-law has a lot, don't be like my mother."

An Rong was slightly surprised, and hurriedly shook his head, "You don't have to pay for it." I don't mean to blame my third aunt. ”

Xiao Li'er said ashamedly. "My mother is like that, she is easily angry, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. My father and I often persuaded her, but my mother was stubborn and couldn't change it. ”

An Rong only smiled silently, not knowing how to answer. There is really nothing to say except that he can't say anything.

But. She shouldn't have come to apologize for Mrs. Xiao San, right?

An Rong looked at Xiao Li'er, only to see her struggling, and stopped talking a few times, so she smiled. "If you have something to say, you might as well say it."

Xiao Li'er smiled awkwardly and said, "My mother is a little bit of a bull. The reason for the bad business of Yujin Pavilion yesterday was counted on the marquis of Wu'an. I know it shouldn't, but my mother is also afraid that people will laugh at her for her poor management, and for the sake of saving face, I hope my sister-in-law won't be unhappy...... Yujin Pavilion's business is extremely bad now, and my mother has no way to bring Yujin Pavilion back to life, sister-in-law, can you take over Yujin Pavilion again? ”

Xiao Li'er's words were very reasonable, and there was a faint posture of righteous annihilation.

Let An Rong be amazed.

Dare to say that her mother is not, it is the first time she has seen it, but it is not surprising that the tutor of Xiao Guogong's Mansion is different from others.

However, is it appropriate for her to take over the Yujin Pavilion business?

At the beginning, Mrs. Xiao San was hard to rob.

An Rong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The third aunt has only taken over the Jade Pavilion for a few days, and it is still a month early, I see that she is full of confidence, you dismantle her platform like this, I am afraid that you will be scolded when you go back." ”

Xiao Li'er shook her head like a wave drum, "No, my mother has recognized her shortcomings, but she is thin-skinned and embarrassed to open her mouth to ......." ”

After hearing Xiao Li'er say that Mrs. Xiao San was thin-skinned, the corners of An Rong's mouth twitched involuntarily.

She felt that the wives of the Guogong Mansion belonged to Mrs. Xiao San's skin was uniquely thick.

It's only been a few days since she got married, and she was counted down twice by Grandpa Guo, and I didn't see any signs of reflection on her?

If this is still called thin skin, can she be described as thin as a cicada's wings?

An Rong coughed lightly and said, "I can't take over the Jade Jin Pavilion without authorization, or you go and ask Grandpa Guo what he means, as long as Grandpa Guo asks me to take over, I will take over." ”

Xiao Li'er bit her lower lip, An Rong's words are considered refusals, but they are not refusals.

She can take over the Jade Jin Pavilion, but she won't take it from Mrs. Xiao San, and only listen to Old Master Xiao.

However, this is better than simply refusing it.

Xiao Li'er thanked An Rong with her blessing, "Sister-in-law Xie is considerate." ”

An Rong smiled silently.

Behind him, a maid trotted over, panting and said, "Young Grandma, the second girl of Wu'an Hou Mansion is looking for you." ”

An Rong was slightly stunned.

Shen Anfu is here?

Peony's eyes lit up, and after Xiao Li'er and the maid left, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Young grandma, the second girl came to you, it must be something wrong with King Zhuang's mansion." ”

As long as something happens to King Zhuang's Mansion, it will definitely be the face of the county lord of Xirou, then she will not have good intentions to do bad things.

Peony was very excited, she claimed to be a good maid, how could she do things?

An Rong's face was black, and he glanced at the peony a few times, "It's definitely not like this." ”

Peony pouted, "That's not necessarily, the slave has a strong premonition, and Xirou County is mainly unlucky." ”

Her hunch has always been good and bad.

She didn't believe it would fail with the Lord of Xirou.

An Rong's face was full of black lines, and he walked back to Lin Moxuan and waited for Shen Anfu.

Is Zhuang Wangfu unlucky, don't you know when you see her?

After returning to Linmoxuan, An Rong drank a cup of tea, and the maid brought Shen Anfu in.

Today, she is wearing a lake blue skirt, embroidered with white cranes underneath, with a slender posture and a calm step, but her face is not very good, a little pale, and there is some reluctance in her eyes.

An Rong raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that someone forced her to come to the Guogong Mansion?

PS: Ask for pink.
