After a while, I saw the guards guarding the door leading several eunuchs into the front hall, the leader was older, about forty years old, I looked at it curiously, and if he really had no beard, his face was even more delicate than that of a woman, and he seemed to feel my gaze, and glared at me sharply, I hurriedly lowered my head, but I still couldn't help but look at him secretly.

Seeing You Lu, there was a flash of awe on his face, and then he looked at the dining table with a smile, his voice was thin and long, and I once wondered if my sister-in-law was his apprentice: "Yo~ What time is this, just for breakfast?" Dingyuan Hou, take the order~"

Daddy hurriedly led us to kneel, and the courtyard was full of sloppy kneeling.

"Biography - Your Majesty's Message: The Marquis of Dingyuan has worked hard all the way, I feel it deeply, and I specially prepare a banquet for His Royal Highness of Qinghe, and wait for the Marquis of Dingyuan's family today."

"Chen Youyi - Command!" Daddy's voice was as loud as a bell, which startled the eunuch, and he hurriedly helped his father up, still smiling on his face: "Dingyuan Hou, please get up quickly, today is a big day, don't slack off!" ”

"Father-in-law, I don't know where the joy comes from?"

"Oops! Dingyuan Hou is not pretending to be confused! ”

Daddy was confused.

said that it was too late, and the sister-in-law rushed forward with a brisk stride, and blessed the eunuch: "Father-in-law, are there some rules in the palace to tell the slave family?" ”

I saw that the eunuch took the silver secretly given to him by his sister-in-law in a kind manner, coughed lightly, and my thin voice made me get goosebumps: "Mrs. You is polite, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian are very happy to hear that the Hou Ye has returned to Beijing, and they will not be rewarded when the time comes." ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand to his father: "Dingyuan Hou doesn't send it, the miscellaneous family has to rush to the next family, Your Majesty is so happy, I invited a lot of old friends to catch up with me!" ”

I saw those eunuchs pacing and drifting away with small steps, and I vaguely heard someone say: "This Hou Ye's mansion is really unruly, women actually eat at the same table with men......

"What's more, the miscellaneous family saw a maid still sitting on the table!"

"The girl who always peeks at the manager?"

"But no, it's ugly and uninformed......"

Ugly and uninformed? Are they talking about me? No way?

My sister-in-law interrupted my doubts: "Little sister, don't be in a daze, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian are going to be summoned today, don't be careless!" ”

"How does sister-in-law know?"

"Gonggong Zhao said it just now."

"He didn't say it!"

The sister-in-law took a deep breath and smiled hard: "Just now Gonggong Zhao said that the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian were very happy when they heard that their father-in-law had returned to Beijing. ”

I just wondered, "What's wrong with this?" ”

"My sister doesn't know, every word these fathers-in-law said is not in vain, he first said that today is a big day, and then mentioned the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, which means that this banquet is not the meaning of His Majesty, it is the meaning of the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, sister, you taste it carefully."

"Oh~~~ Who likes Daddy between the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian?"

This is a great royal secret! It's so nervous and exciting, will you be beheaded if you know it!?

The sister-in-law's sun tendons jumped twice, and her smile gradually distorted: "The Queen Mother and Concubine Xian have always been at odds, but now they can walk together, which shows that they both want to win over their father-in-law." ”

"Humph! The You family has only been loyal to the Holy One for generations, which is simply wishful thinking! Daddy said angrily.

"The harem can't interfere in politics, and they are so blatantly befriending important ministers of the court?" The third brother took out his peach blossom fan again, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with essence, as if he was planning something.

"I don't dare, but Your Majesty didn't just invite my father-in-law, but the Dingyuan Marquis family, that is, all of us, including..." ”

I suddenly said, "You covet my beauty!" ”

Everyone: "......"

The sister-in-law said with a solemn expression: "The queen mother and the virtuous concubine can't be offended on both sides, according to Zhao's father-in-law, I'm afraid that most of the civil and military officials will attend the banquet, the slave family is so big, and there are very few such grand feasts in the palace......

Father, eldest brother, and third brother all fell into deep thought when they heard this.

I hurriedly applauded: "Sister-in-law, you are so powerful, you can guess so much in three or two sentences!" ”

The sister-in-law said shyly: "My sister praised it, you just came to Dijing, and when the days are long, you will understand after a little pondering." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, no, I don't want to think about it, this twist and turn makes my brain hurt." ”

The eldest brother said: "Huaimeng, there are many rules in the palace, the little sister has just arrived, and I have to ask you to take care of the little sister more tonight." ”

The sister-in-law was shy: "The husband is too outward, this is the slave family's business." ”

Then he said to Qianrou: "Qianrou quickly dress up your young lady, it is not a trivial matter to enter the palace." ”

I said in my heart, of course, it's not a trivial matter, this is a major event in my life!

Daddy couldn't bear me in the end, he was silent for a long time and said: "Let's check the old family, keep a low profile." ”

The sister-in-law was blessed.

I pulled Qianrou all the way back to Chu Yuyuan, and Qianrou panted and said, "Miss, don't run so fast, if the master knows about it, you will scold the slave again!" ”

Qianrou said while helping me dust off the grass clippings stuck to my body, "Dijing is no better than Biluo City, you are the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the eldest young master is now an official in the court, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at you outside!" ”

"Gentle and gentle, please find me a mirror quickly!"

"Little, what are you looking for a mirror?" Qianrou didn't seem to have slowed down, and her speech was a little intermittent.

"I'm so panicked, how can everyone admit that I am wrong with you, why does everyone look at me so strangely?" I wondered, "Why can't you find a mirror in the whole house?!" ”

I remember that when I arrived in Biluo City, it happened to be my twelfth birthday with my third brother, and my father customized a new set of clothes with local characteristics for each of me and my third brother, and gave us five hundred taels of silver to go out and buy some things we liked. As soon as they went out, they caused a sensation in the city, and the people in the city asked which tailor made the clothes, and they all wanted to go to the tailor's house to make clothes, and for a time the streets were all the same style, and it is said that the tailor made a fortune. Later, the people found out that it was not the problem of clothes, but the children of the Hou Ye's family who were born too good-looking, and even the approval of sacks could become fashionable. The third brother and I didn't spend a single penny that day, because no matter which stall we went to, as long as we glanced at something, the stall owner would offer it with both hands and shout: "The third young master and the fourth young lady think my things are very good!" Before he could finish speaking, the stalls were sold out.

It was the most tiring birthday I had with the third brother, because we only brought Song Yue, a small retinue of Qianrou and the third brother, when we went out, we also had to hold all kinds of things sent by the people, and finally Song Yue hired a carriage to bring the people's hearts back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Daddy, who never took a stitch from the people, was very angry when he heard about it, and grounded us for half a month, which caused the dissatisfaction of the people of Biluo City, and they went to the government to petition and asked Lord Yin to persuade Daddy: In order to stimulate the economic development of Biluo City, I begged the Hou Ye to let his dragon and phoenix fetuses go out more. My father was forced to agree, but he no longer allowed me to wear women's clothes. Rao is like this, if you want to ask where the most lively street in Biluo City is, it must be the street where You Ziqian, the third son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and You Zimo, the third son of Dingyuan, and his daughter You Zimo walked. As I and the third brother grow bigger and bigger, the appearance is becoming more and more amazing, no one can imagine that the children born of the five big and three rough marquis of Dingyuan have such a natural appearance, so the matchmaker who proposes marriage is endless, the threshold of the house is almost changed every two months, and the carpenter who does the threshold in the city is happy to bloom, and burns incense at home every day to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the dragon and phoenix fetus of the Hou Ye must not find a good match...... In order to see me, the men in the city set up a tent at the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion and waited for ten days and a half to be there, of course, there are many women in order to Bo Sange's eyeballs, every day put on the most beautiful makeup to the door and wait for the third brother, which greatly promoted the sales of tents, rouge gouache and a series of daily necessities, and then gradually, the street at the door of the Dingyuan Marquis has evolved into a new economic and cultural center in Biluo City - I and the third brother are very happy, so that we don't have to cross most of the city to listen to books.

Hearing that my third brother and I were going to enter Beijing with my father, the people were like a bolt from the blue, and for a while, the entire Biluo City was shrouded in a dark cloud. It is said that to this day, His Majesty can still receive a letter from the Yin of Biluo City every day, asking His Majesty to return the Hou Ye and his pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses as soon as possible, and the economy of Biluo City can no longer withstand the heavy blow.

"Could it be that the aesthetics of the people of the imperial capital are higher than that of Biluo City?" I couldn't figure it out, "No, I look about the same as the third brother, and the eyes of those girls looking at the third brother are even hotter than the girls in Biluo City!" ”

"Qianrou, go to your sister-in-law to borrow a mirror!"

"Miss, how can I have time to borrow a mirror now, there are many rules in the palace, you have to change your palace clothes for a long time, and you have to dress up and choose jewelry, no one will blame you for your late banquet in Biluo City, but this is the ...... of Dijing"

"Are you going or not? Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go! I couldn't bear to say, "If you think about it, I haven't looked in the mirror for half a month......"

"Miss~" I suddenly felt a weight on my legs, it was Qianrou who hugged my calves, she cried bitterly, "Miss, don't you like Qianrou anymore?" Do you dislike shallowness? Don't you believe in shallowness? ”

"I just want to look in the mirror...... "Qianrou, are you possessed by your sister-in-law?"

"Miss, hit the light! Miss punishes Qianrou, but Miss must not drive Qianrou away, Qianrou is reluctant to miss~"

"I just want to take a ......"

"Miss—"

"I heard you crying wolf outside, what are you doing with your master and servant?" The third brother came in at this time, and the soft crying stopped abruptly.

I immediately told my doubts to the third brother, who knew that the third brother chuckled, it was really between the expectations, the charm was infinite, he said: "What mirror do you look at, you just look at me." ”

I stared at him for a long time, staring at his smooth forehead with a fine layer of sweat: "There is no change." ”

The air around him was obviously relaxed, and the third brother was busy shaking his fan, which seemed to be very hot, and he said, "That's not it, how do you look different from me?" ”

"I don't have an Adam's apple, I'm much more feminine than you," I added, "I have more followers than you in Biluo. ”
