Talking and laughing, time passed quickly, and when it was almost dinner, Lime came in to report, "The emperor's reward is here, and the general will let you go ahead." "In front of outsiders, the title of the helper has been replaced by the word general.

Liuli asked, "Which father-in-law came to announce the decree?" ”

Lime replied in a proper manner, "I heard that it is Gonggong Hong." ”

The ladies showed a look of surprise and envy, although their expressions were well controlled, and the strange expressions were fleeting, but Liuli noticed it.

The newly crowned general, although the three titles are only virtual, but since they have moved into the new house, the emperor will reward them as usual, nothing special. But it was very unusual to let Gonggong Hong, the first celebrity around him, run in person, and it was extraordinarily favorable.

"Sister, go quickly, I'll leave it to me here, and I won't offend anyone if I make sure you can't offend anyone." You Shi smiled, acting very close.

"There's sister-in-law Lao." Liuli smiled and nodded, got up, and gave a slight salute before walking out with Lime.

Lime held Liuli and continued to reply, "Miss, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the King of Linshan County and the Twelve Princesses are also here." The sound was not loud, that is, there was no sense of shouting, and all the people in the room heard it. And the twelfth princess is Xiao Ya.

Xiao Zhen is down, the future Yue family moves to a new house, and it is normal for him to come to congratulate him in person. The king of Linshan County had an affair with Miss Shui in the past, and now it is like this, it is really above board. That's the richest man in Da Zhao, the first big financier, no matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, who doesn't want to be friends with local tyrants? And then there is the twelfth princess, is she actually good friends with Shui Liuli? Although there are many emperors and princesses, there are also eccentricities in the end, and this twelve princesses are one of them. Winning the favor of the princess is equivalent to taking a permanent invitation to the circle of noble ladies in Tokyo.

Could it be that the emperor wants to recruit Shui Shiqiao to be a concubine? It's unlikely to think about it. The prince has already married the Cao gang girl, and the princess will not marry her brother under any circumstances. Otherwise, what would have become? Folk family swaps? Moreover, it will not let the royal family and the Cao Gang be so deeply involved.

"I sent an invitation to the Twelfth Princess, but the Princess didn't reply. I'm not going to come yet. Before Ruri's figure disappeared, the voice drifted in.

"The upstart of the Shui family, I'm afraid it's about to rise." I don't know who Lu Dao is, so I muttered in a low voice.

They don't understand that not everyone is greedy for the glory and wealth of Beijing, sleeping peacefully among the flowers on the surface. The upstarts in their mouths, the Shui brothers and sisters, are not among them. They set up such a big game to let those shameless thieves taste the way of others and treat them again.

Ruri walked to the left and right with the lime. Immediately took Lime's hand and whispered, "Are you all ready?" If you don't want to, I won't force you, and you can still go back. There are other methods, and you don't need to take risks. ”

"The slave is not afraid, the slave is willing." Lime took a deep breath and said firmly.

She wore a red skirt with narrow sleeves and a cinched waist today. The elbows and shoulders were sewn with black lambskin, and the hair was covered with green silk and combed up to the skull, pinned only by two plain silver hairpins. Other than that, there is not a single piece of jewelry. It's just that a flower-shaped purse is pinned to the belt. Up and down, all neatly and neatly. The girls in Shuifu don't have standard clothes, they all wear their own clothes, but Lime makes her extra energetic. The soldier-like gait of the barracks was even more conspicuous. Also...... More like a heroine.

However, it is not so much that the lime and Huo Honglian look alike, but that they are like gods. The facial features are only five or six points alike. In terms of temperament, there are seven or eight points, but Huo Honglian's innate arrogance and battle-hardened heroism are missing. A few days ago, Lime deliberately corrected and trained for a period of time with the help of Qing Dai, and tried her best to imitate Huo Honglian's gestures, way of speaking, and the way she walked. Although it is still a copy now, because the things in the bones cannot be imitated, if someone meets for the first time, they will definitely be shocked.

"Miss, also Lime's Miss." Lime added another sentence to express her determination, "Lime's life was saved by the eldest lady, and the young lady has always been with her." Therefore, the slave maid also has to avenge the eldest lady and help the young lady share her worries. ”

Looking at the firmness and sincerity of the lime, it would be hypocritical to say anything more. So, Liuli patted Lime's hand and said, "Then try your best to play this play, don't worry, Miss I will protect you, and I will never let you have anything to do." ”

After speaking, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled. Then, almost at the same time, he took a deep breath and went to the front yard one after the other.

The angel came quickly, and Shui Shi Qiao set up the incense case, and then pulled the glass to stand, and the person arrived. Then came the elaborate rituals, and the rewards were nothing more than gold and silver. Liuli knelt for a long time for this, and complained ten thousand times in her heart.

finally got up, and when I looked up, I saw Xiao Zhen's gentle smiling face, and I couldn't help but smile.

For Xiao Zhen, she has complicated feelings. On the one hand, knowing that Lu Dao was going to marry this man after more than a year, and knowing that Lu Dao had some affection for him, he was always a little unconsciously estranged and wanted to escape far away. On the other hand, he felt guilty for taking advantage of this man and wanted to be nice to him. So, she oscillates between the poles of far away, near, far away, and close. On the contrary, this increased Xiao Zhen's infatuation with her.

Xiao Ya stood next to her ninth brother, her beautiful little face was full of dignified and noble color, and the skin monkey with a straight stomach and a jaw-dropping belly that Liuli met in the palace was not a person at all. Liuli saw her eyes chasing Shui Shi Qiao, and knew who Xiao Ya was here for. In front of her sweetheart, if she is a girl, she will show her elegant side, right? She was very funny, but she was pierced through the heart by jealousy, and the pain made her quickly turn her eyes.

As a result, it didn't matter if it turned around, it was crashing into Xiao Yu's eyes. He was as handsome as ever, with a smile on his face, and he looked unfathomable, which made Liuli's heart suddenly tighten, and he was afraid that this man would see her careful thoughts. But then he calmed down: what about seeing her scheming? As long as she wants to see through him, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, who is afraid of whom?

"Father-in-law Hong, the banquet has been set up, please come in. After all, you have to drink a glass of this warm wine. You have been by the emperor's side all the year round, and you have been blessed, and now I want to bring this blessing back. Shui Shi Qiao smiled and pulled Grandpa Hong's arm. According to his status, there are Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ya next to him, and it is not his turn to invite Gonggong Hong first. However, today, Gonggong Hong came by decree and represented the emperor, so it is naturally different.

"I know that you kid doesn't have a good heart, calculating my old thing, and even the blessings of the idea will be taken away." Gonggong Hong patted Shui Shiqiao's hand, snorted, but his tone was intimate, and he turned around and half-bowed, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the King of the County, please first." "People look up to him and give him a face, he is just a eunuch, and he will never go beyond it.

The two went back and forth, but anyone with long eyes could see that the relationship between General Shui and the people close to the emperor was very good. Thinking about it again, when the emperor paid a private visit, didn't he bring Father-in-law Hong? Whether in distress or saved, Gonggong Hong and Shui Shiqiao have known each other for a long time. And the person who is close to the emperor's personal attendant is often more important than the first-class person. As an official, it is the most difficult to figure out the intentions. If there are people in the court, it will naturally be different.

"Yes, yes, two highnesses, please." Shuishi Qiao also said, his eyes swept over Xiao Ya, he didn't stay much, and only said to Liuli, "Sister, please greet Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Before Liuli could reply, Xiao Ya grabbed Xiao Zhen's sleeve and said, "Brother Jiu, I want to be with you." ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Shui Shi Qiao. Shui Shi Qiao subconsciously looked at Liuli.

Today there are more male customers and fewer female customers. Therefore, Liuli entertained the female relatives in the large warm pavilion opened in the front yard, and Shuishi Qiao entertained the male guests in a courtyard on the East Road. Today's water house, the former Guo house belongs to the type of sparrow that is small and has all kinds of organs. The middle road is a HOS house, the west road is a stable, a large storehouse or something, but there is a two-storey small building on the east road, which is composed of two halls with double ridges in the north and south and a flat-roofed hall in the middle. The plaque in front of this small building is called "Joy of Enjoyment", indicating that this is the place where the original owner, that is, the wealthy businessman, entertained high-ranking officials and nobles to enjoy music and dance.

This place is specially for a big feast, so there is a special emphasis on the building and materials, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the sound is close, and a few more large charcoal stoves are burned, and the cold winter and the moon are not cold.

"It's up to the princess." Liuli lowered her face delicately, and said to Shui Shi Qiao, "I'll arrange it." ”

Shui Shi Qiao nodded, not ignoring Liuli's smiling gaze, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips. He understands the meaning of Liuli, which is to plan the plan. Originally, I was going to arrange a chance encounter, but it couldn't be too obvious, after all, they were all smart people. Now, at the request of the princess, everything is in order.

In the pleasure, there was originally an open space in the middle, and a banquet was set up for male guests, and there was a screen on the steps behind to sit female guests.

Xiao Yu next to him was rarely silent, but he noticed the extremely fast eye contact between Liuli and Shuishi Qiao. Looking at Liuli's side again, the maid is like a fire, even if she lowers her head and eyes, her posture is upright, and she can't help but squint her eyes slightly, feeling that there is no good banquet today.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Ya asked suddenly.

"Am I smiling?" Xiao Yu touched his chin, "Could it be that someone is happy to move, why should I cry?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of the County is alright? Then have a few more drinks later. Liuli took the words, smiled gently at Xiao Zhen again, pulled Xiao Ya, turned around and left.

The second half of the sentence is alienated and polite, but the first sentence has another deep meaning. In order to repair Cui Shufei before, Xiao Yutuo was ill for a long time. Liuli said this to let him know that she confessed. But he came uninvited, wouldn't it be because the secret recipe for smelting hadn't been given to him yet? There's no need to be so ungraceful in debt collection.
