In the end, Zhao Lihua took the tent and quilt and put them on the ground for Ni Wenyu to sleep.

Morning.

When the sky was bright, Ni Wenyu got up, looked at the sleeping Zhao Lihua, dropped a kiss on his forehead, and was about to turn away.

Zhao Lihua suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand: "You left so early?" ”

Ni Wenyu was startled by her sudden opening of her eyes, and she felt a sense of embarrassment of being caught in a kiss.

He blushed and nodded: "Well, leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble, I will wait for you at the bottom of the mountain, and then follow your carriage and return to Beijing together." ”

Now that the room was dark, Zhao Lihua didn't notice his embarrassment.

She got up and sat up, took three cartons of milk and a few noodles from the space, and handed them to him: "You take these with you, and eat them on the road with your secret guard." ”

The sky was about to dawn, Ni Wenyu took the things, did not delay any longer, jumped out of the window and left with the secret guard.

After Ni Wenyu left, Zhao Lihua couldn't sleep.

She raised her hand and touched the forehead that Ni Wenyu had kissed just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, thinking about Ni Wenyu, she was embarrassed to cover the quilt, and her face gradually began to get hot.

The heart pounded for a while, and Zhao Lihua fell asleep.

Ji Xiang Ruyi, who had no dreams all night, woke up early, and after returning with breakfast and toiletries, they knocked on Zhao Lihua's door.

"Miss, it's time to get up."

Zhao Lihua opened her eyes in a daze and looked out the window, the sky was already bright.

Zhao Lihua got up and cleaned up, and waited in the courtyard to return home with auspicious wishes.

Lin Yunxia thought that Zhao Lihua was dead, and she was in a very good mood, so she even dressed up today.

She deliberately waited for everyone to arrive before she went out.

In this way, she could pretend not to see Zhao Lihua as an excuse, and naturally enter Zhao Lihua's room, and then find Zhao Lihua's body in the presence of everyone.

As a result, as soon as she went out, she saw Zhao Lihua and the two maids talking and laughing in the yard, like a nobody, not even a single hair had fallen.

Her face darkened suddenly.

At this time, Zhao Lihua seemed to notice Lin Yunxia's gaze, and turned her head to look back at Lin Yunxia with a smile.

Lin Yunxia felt that Zhao Lihua's eyes were very dazzling, and she turned her head to look at Mama Qian with hideous eyes.

Mama Qian was so frightened that her body trembled.

She doesn't know what's going on!

She invited ten killers according to Lin Yunxia's instructions, and it stands to reason that Zhao Lihua is certain to die.

Why is Zhao Lihua nothing at all?

And so many killers, even if they are killed, there should be corpses!

And killing so many people, there should always be a smell of blood, right?

But there was nothing else in the yard except for the fragrance of bamboo.

A sense of fear rose in Mama Qian's heart, isn't this Zhao Lihua a monster?

Lin Yunxia looked at Mama Qian's cowardice and scolded her secretly.

Zhao Lihua looked at Lin Yunxia's master and servant and smiled heartily.

The corpses of those killers have long been turned into water, and the bloodstains from the fight have also been washed away by the heavy rain, God really helped her!

Lin Yunxia was very angry in her heart, and she handled the return home with a black face throughout the whole process.

A group of people from the Prime Minister's Mansion went home.

This time, they did not walk down the mountain, but took the sedan chair arranged by Lin Yunxia, directly carried them to the bottom of the mountain, and then continued to take the carriage back to the house.

Zhao Lihua was worried that when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady would trouble her.

As a result, it has been several days since she came back, and the old lady has not moved, so Zhao Lihua left her behind and planned her business with Gu Qingran with peace of mind.

Zhao Lihua wants to go back to her old job.

If you want to open a supermarket in ancient times, as you would in modern times, it would be much more competitive here than in modern times.

There is no such model here, and Gu Qingran still has connections and enough money, so it is perfect to open a supermarket chain.

Thinking about the supermarkets she opened all over the country in the future, I was very excited.

Now that everything is ready, we are waiting for Gu Qingran to return to Beijing.

Finally on the eve of the Double Ninth Festival in early September.

Zhao Lihua received Su Moxue's post and asked her to go to enjoy chrysanthemums together during the Double Ninth Festival.

The post also said that the people who traveled with him were Gu Qingran, the third prince Long Tianyu and Ni Wenyu.

When Zhao Lihua received the post, she immediately went to meet the old lady with auspicious wishes and asked for instructions about the house tomorrow.

Speaking of this, Zhao Lihua was speechless.

Zhao Tonghe said before that she could go out of the house freely, and Lin Yunxia knew it.

But after the old lady returned to the house, she made a hard rule that the people in the house must ask her for instructions before leaving the house, and Lin Yunxia is no exception.

Everyone knows that the old lady wants to seize power.

It's nothing to anyone else.

Because they had to ask Lin Yunxia when they left the house before, but now they are just a different person.

But Zhao Lihua was not very happy.

Every time, the old lady asked her where she was going and what she was going to do, just like interrogating a prisoner, and by the time the old lady had finished asking, more than half of the time had passed.

There is another person who is not happy, and that person is Lin Yunxia.

As the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has to ask for instructions when she leaves the mansion, what is this like?

But she could only hold back if she was not convinced, just because Zhao Tonghe told her to invite the old lady back to take charge of the house when she left.

She understands that Zhao Tonghe still doesn't trust her!

.....

Eika-in.

The courtyard where the old lady lived after returning home.

Zhao Lihua was sitting in the front hall of Ronghua Courtyard drinking tea, waiting for the old lady to come.

Zhao Lihua drank two cups of tea before the old lady came slowly holding Gui's hand.

Zhao Lihua stood up and saluted.

The old lady waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"Grandmother, I heard that you don't sleep very well, this is the cassia pillow I made especially for my grandmother these days."

Zhao Lihua said and gave Jixiang a look and motioned for her to give the pillow to the old lady.

This is a request for people, of course, you have to give some benefits, and in this ancient time, the most important thing is filial piety.

Zhao Lihua has also figured it out now, since she has entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and become a part of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she can't leave now if she wants to.

So even if she doesn't like the old lady, she still has to get by on the surface, don't let people grab the pigtails.

After all, now that she is one with Ni Wenyu and Long Tianyu, Ni Wenyu is destined to embark on a career in office, so she can't hold him back.

Jixiang presented the pillow he was holding to the old lady.

The old lady took the pillow and smelled a smell of grass, which was very good.

Her wrinkled old face smiled: "You have a heart, this cassia still has the effect of making people sleep?" ”

Zhao Lihua said: "Yes, grandmother, this pillow is very effective for dizziness and insomnia, and ah, this cassia has a clear eye, laxative effect." ”

The old lady accepted it with great satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and asked, "In addition to sending pillows, is there anything else to find grandmother?" ”

Zhao Lihua squinted her eyes and smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my grandmother!" Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and Miss Su, the granddaughter of General Su, invited me to enjoy the chrysanthemums, so I came to say hello to my grandmother. ”

The old lady asked lightly, "Just the two of you?" ”

"There are also the third prince and the young master of the Gu family."

"Young Master of the Gu family?" The old lady pondered for a while: "You mean the young master of the Gu family, the nephew of the queen mother?" ”

Zhao Lihua nodded.

The old lady of the third prince naturally knew that the third prince and the young lady of the Su family went out to enjoy the chrysanthemums together, and she could understand it.

After all, the Su family has military power, and it is understandable that the third prince wants to win over the Su family.

Compared with the three princes, this Gu family prince seems much more mysterious, since his father died, he and his mother depend on each other, bent on making money, it is said that he is rich and rivals the country, is the object of the princes.

After thinking about it for a while, the old lady nodded in agreement, and made an unprecedented order: "Go to the account office tomorrow morning to pay a hundred taels of silver, and come back early." ”

Zhao Lihua thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The old lady waved her hand, and Zhao Lihua retreated in a witty manner.

Mama Gui looked at the back of Zhao Lihua leaving: "Old lady, these four young ladies seem to have changed. ”

Needless to say, the old lady also saw that the current Zhao Lihua was completely different from the Zhao Lihua who was competing with her in Lingyin Temple that day.

Mama Gui continued: "It must be that she knows that she can't fight you, so she starts to slap you." ”

The old lady not only likes to talk about the rules and put on a show, but also likes others to flatter her.

Mama Gui has long been familiar with the old lady's temperament, so she chooses good words to say.

Sure enough, the old lady listened, and her old face was full of pride.

Then she said thoughtfully: "But I still can't let my guard down, this girl can make friends with Miss Su and the son of the Gu family, and even the second prince, which shows that she has some skills." ”

"As long as she can bring benefits to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will be the hero of our Prime Minister's Mansion; But if she hurts the interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion, hmph, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

In the end, the old lady's scheming face became fierce.

Mama Gui praised the old lady for her wisdom again and again, and the old lady was thoughtful.

。。。

Ewha Temple.

"Miss, why is the old lady suddenly so kind to you? I also took the initiative to give you the money. Ji Xiang asked while making tea for Zhao Lihua.

Hearing Jixiang's question, Zhao Lihua pursed her lips and smiled, as long as she understood the old lady's personality, it was easy to guess her purpose.

"It's not because she heard me say that she was going to go to enjoy chrysanthemums with the second prince, the Gu family and Miss Su tomorrow, first, she was afraid that I would lose face if I had no money, and second, she wanted me to talk to these people."

Ji Xiang touched his head when he heard this, and secretly said that the brains of these big families are spinning fast, and any thing has such a meaning behind it.

In the evening.

The old lady sent someone to spread the word and asked Zhao Lihua to bring the second lady Zhao Xinyi and the third lady Zhao Xinfen tomorrow to go together, so that they could also increase their knowledge.

Zhao Lihua readily agreed.

"Miss, why did you agree?" Ruyi is puzzled, doesn't Miss dislike Zhao Xinyi?

And the old lady chose these two people obviously for a purpose.

These two young ladies are fourteen years old, and they are already married to others; These three young ladies are thirteen years old, although they are still a year away, but now they can also get married.

The old lady's purpose was so obvious that even she, a slave, could see it.

Zhao Lihua smiled indifferently.

She knew very well what the old lady was thinking in her heart.
