Liu Feifei said: "It's all your own family, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

He raised his voice, "We have all heard about the affairs of the palace. I really didn't expect that the old princess was unreliable, and the Qingxia county lord in your mansion ......"

She also wanted to say that Li Biling had already taken the lead and gently tugged at He's, "Third aunt, someone is here." ”

He raised his eyes and looked, and at the lotus gate in the back garden, a young girl moved in, and she couldn't help but snort coldly and didn't speak again.

Shi Xiaowen was full of curiosity, and asked Li Biling: "Grandma Jiang San, could it be that this Qingxia County Lord is also unreliable?" ”

Although the voice was small, Wen Yayun behind him also reprimanded, "How old is the person, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

Shi Xiaowen pursed his mouth, glanced at Wen Yayun, and didn't ask again.

Zhang Shuangshuang immediately diverted the topic, "There are really a few major events in the imperial city today, Enke's entrance examination, the entry of the show girl into the palace, as if to make fun of the little aunt's birthday, are all in time today." ”

Su Yan took over and asked, "Jin Juan has entered the palace?" ”

She mentioned it to Yang Yunping early in the morning, thinking that Yang Yunping would pay attention to the brocade.

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Don't you enter the palace?" I got up at the fourth watch this morning and lined up with the show girls of the imperial city to enter the palace. The Imperial City Pavilion is full of show girls from all over the provinces, and I heard that they are all beautiful women who are one in a hundred, and this morning the fifth watch was led by the palace grandmother to line up to enter the palace. ”

Everyone knew that it was inappropriate to talk about the palace, and they all talked about the showgirl.

Liu Feifei said: "There are all provinces, isn't there a lot?" ”

Li Biling said: "There are sixty people in Shuntianfu alone, and there are sixty people in Fengtianfu, even if there are no sixty people in each province, there are always thirty people." ”

That's a lot of people.

The show girl has been selected several times in various places, and the primary election will be held when she enters the palace today, and only half of the people will stay; Then there will be a selection of show girls, and half of them will be sent out of the palace gate; After the half-moon palace training, half of them will be sent out of the palace gate. The remaining people in the last place are selected by the queen, concubines, and concubines, or there are those who are particularly eyed by the emperor. Stay again.

Du Yingqiu thought of Jiang Shuqi and Jiang Chuanliang's next exam, and he didn't know what the situation was, "It will take a few days for the fifth master, the fourth master, and the Zhang family uncle to get off the stage, I heard that there are a lot of candidates who came this time, just listening to the Huangcheng Academy in the past half a year, there are many talents, Yu Wenyuan, Zhou Xun, Tang Guan, as well as the Yu family's uncle, the second master, the second master of the Yu family, and the Zeng family's master......"

Women, you say a word, I say a word, but it is also lively.

The group entered the Eight Eaves Pavilion. Only to find out that it was very large inside. From the outside, it's round. When I got inside, I realized that it was square, and there was a small couch for resting on one side, and two rows of tables. On both sides, there were square tables and chaise longues for playing cards.

The crowd was divided into left and right, young and old, and sat down.

Zi Que beckoned the girls to serve refreshments, each holding the refreshment. Said with a smile.

didn't say a few words, led by He, he first offered a congratulatory gift: "The old lady chattered a few days ago, and I prepared this congratulatory gift early!" ”

Su Yan looked at the box, which was about a foot long, and asked the girls to open it, but it was a painting of "Fu" written by Jiang Shupeng, framed, and Su Yan looked at it for a while. "The third brother's calligraphy has greatly improved."

He covered her mouth and smiled, praising her husband for being talented and praising his son for being smart, which were the two things she was most proud of, "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law." Even Mr. Zhu and the emperor praised him like this. ”

Su Yan praised people, and he recognized it.

Some of the wives and grandmothers laughed secretly, and some were embarrassed.

Du Yingqiu raised his head and took a closer look, "It is more atmospheric, strong and arrogant than before, and it is indeed a big progress." ”

He knew that these were all due to the half of the Baifeng layman's notebook sent by Su Yan.

Du Yingqiu gave two Su embroidered silk handkerchiefs, knowing that Su Yan likes begonia flowers, and deliberately drew the pattern by herself, "This is my own embroidery, I hope you like it." ”

"I like all the things that my sister-in-law sent."

Liu Feifei sent a chic beaded hairpin, and the begonia flowers dressed with pink precious flowers are really rare, and this thought alone is very special.

Zhang Shuangshuang, Li Biling, and Cao Yu'e also sent congratulatory gifts, and Su Yan accepted them one by one, blaming them for being expensive and a little ruin.

Wen Yayun sent a double-sided embroidered screen on the table, one side is a landscape, and the other side is a picture of a lady.

Shi Xiaowen sent a rare piece of good fabric, saying that it was obtained by Zhenjiang Hou Shikai in Jiangnan, and seeing that this fabric was elegant and suitable for Su Yan to wear.

The county lord of Qingxia smiled and presented the congratulatory gift he had prepared.

Su Yan quipped: "I'm about to leave the pavilion, I don't dare to alarm you, I thought you would stay in the Xiyue Pavilion to embroider the wedding dress." ”

The lord of Qingxia County held an unusually delicate golden silk nanmu brocade box, which was engraved with a delicate but generous rose butterfly pattern. She looked at Su Yan eagerly: "Sister-in-law, open it and take a look, I don't know if you will like it." ”

Su Yan hesitated to open the box, the box is not big, but there are three layers, it is actually a complete set of tired silk gold head noodles, well-made, delicate, a large head of a golden rose, the petals are as thin as cicada wings, trembling slightly in the hand, swaying.

She said: "Qingxia, such a valuable thing, you still keep it for yourself." I have received your heart. ”

The county lord of Qingxia originally wanted to show off in front of everyone: Look, how generous I am to my sister-in-law, I will directly give her a set of noodles.

Su Yan politely refused, and her face sank.

Bai Zhi said with a smile: "Everyone knows that the princess didn't like this kind of golden face when she was a child. Although I prepared two sets of my own, I only wore them when I attended the banquet. The county lord of Qingxia should keep it, the slave and maid look at the pearl hairpin on the head of the county lord of Qingxia, it is very good, it is better to send this. ”

Everyone didn't realize that at this moment, their eyes were focused on the pearl hairpin on the head of the lord of Qingxia County, but they saw that there was a strange black pearl embedded in the center of the five slender oval white pearls, which was very dazzling. One look at the pearl hairpin, it is worth a lot of money, inadvertently earlier, listening to Bai Zhi say this, the more everyone looks at it, the more they feel that the black pearl is unusual.

The county lord of Qingxia smiled slightly stunned, and his face was embarrassed.

Shi Xiaowen stared at it curiously, saw everyone's strange expressions, and said with a smile: "The county lord of Qingxia is different from us, Concubine Wen and I are both friends and good sisters of the princess's handkerchief, and the wife and grandmother of the Jiang family are all relatives, so it's nothing if you don't have to give it." ”

Lord Qingxia gritted his teeth, took off the pearl hairpin from his head, and said, "Please take it without giving up your sister-in-law." ”

Su Yan said with a look of embarrassment: "If you say this, I won't be able to accept it." He smiled and took the bead hairpin, held it in his hand, and saw the round and large bead in the center. My heart couldn't help sinking, this is not a pearl, it is simply a valuable pearl.

Between Dongzhu and pearls, the price difference can be dozens of times, even hundreds, hundreds of times, and even between a thousand times.

Su Yan brought the pearl hairpin, and her smile was still the same, "It's really rare to see such a big pearl." I didn't expect Qingxia to have a lot of good things here. ”

The county lord of Qingxia looked nervous, his eyes swayed from side to side, and he quickly said, "It was a gift from my father when I was in time." ”

Su Yan handed it over to Bai Zhi to accept. "Everybody plays cards. Speak of the talk. If you need anything, just give me an order, and when you come today, you can play indulgently. ”

The crowd responded, and a group of four sat at two tables. He Shi, Du Yingqiu, Wen Yayun, and Liu Feifei formed a table to play leaf cards, and the other table had Qingxia County Lord, Shi Xiaowen, Zhang Shuangshuang, and Li Biling. also singled Cao Yu'e, and Su Yan talked to her for a while, and then she felt bored.

Bai Zhi led Bai Yan and Zi Que to send the gifts back to Qinsetang.

Su Yan instructed Bai Ying: "There is a rosewood box in my house, and there are two small silver boxes the size of palms, and the box says 'Western brand', take one first." ”

It didn't take long for the white warbler to find it.

Su Yan ordered her subordinates to set up another table and clapped her hands, "Today we will teach you a new way to play." ”

The Western brand was given to Su Yan by Zheng Han, and a total of two pairs were given. It is said that you can have fun when you have nothing to do.

Su Yan said to Bai Zhi: "Tell me about the Jinhua game I learned in Zheng's house." ”

Bai Zhi responded and explained the gameplay of "Pulling Golden Flowers" in detail.

Cao Yu'e thought it was very interesting, Shi Xiaowen was playing cards over there, and when she heard Bai Zhi talking, she also abandoned the cards and ran over to watch, shouting: "I want to play this." This one is interesting. ”

There are not enough people at the table of the Qingxia County Lord, so they all gather around to play "Pulling Golden Flowers".

Two hands down, and a few were immediately attracted to the new way to play.

Su Yan also took three cards in the meantime, leaving her and Zhang Shuangshuang and Li Biling, Qingxia County Lord, Cao Yu'e, and Shi Xiaowen folded when they saw that the cards were not good, and sat on the side to watch the three of them play.

Zhang Shuangshuang tilted his head to look at Su Yan's cards, but Su Yan pinched the back of the cards for her, "Do you follow?" If you increase the price, I will show you three times, if you two lose, the money on this table is mine, and you will have to increase the price if you continue to follow. ”

Li Biling looked confused and deducted the card: "I won't follow." ”

Su Yan has always been the most energetic, isn't this card very good, and she has to eat all the cards of several houses.

Zhang Shuangshuang hesitated.

Su Yan smiled: "If you triple it, I'll let you show the cards." ”

Li Biling said: "If you triple it, it will become three taels of silver." ”

Zhang Shuangshuang shook his head and didn't dare to follow, although three taels of silver was nothing to her, this time, she went down to five taels of silver. "Not anymore."

Su Yan smiled, "The bits and pieces of silver on the table are mine." She smiled and got up and received it on the plate in front of her.

Zhang Shuangshuang shouted: "I want to see the cards!" Reaching out, everyone's eyes widened, "Your card is the smallest, three, four, seven......"

Li Biling said unconvinced: "You are cheating!" ”

Su Yan said: "This trick is called 'bluffing the eagle'!" It's none of you who follow, and if you don't follow, naturally I won, and all the money on this table belongs to me. ”

Suddenly, Shi Xiaowen and everyone shouted, and the room was very lively.

He and Liu Feifei saw that they were arguing fiercely, and they also came around to see the strangeness.

Everyone took three cards each, and even the girls gathered around to watch.

Su Yan took a stinky card and scared away Zhang Shuangshuang and Li Biling, who were good cards.

Zhang Shuangshuang looked at Su Yan with a smile, "I won't be fooled by you again, I'll follow this time." ”

The county lord of Qingxia and Shi Xiaowen were not convinced, and they also shouted to follow.

Looking at the more and more bits and pieces of silver on the table, the crowd shouted lively.

Zhang Shuangshuang glanced at his cards, which were not bad, and stared at Su Yan: "This time, I will consume it with you, and if I don't let go, I won't let you succeed." ”
