Because of the emperor's instructions last night, Prince Fulin fell in love with the people of the left bank mountain and wanted to be included in the palace, so it can be regarded as a harmony, although the queen mother was dissatisfied with Chu Nian because of the last redemption, but whether it was on the way to the paddock or after arriving at the hunting ground, she was very kind to Chu Nian's two daughters, and even made the Xiwan people suspect that these two girls were the goddaughters she recognized.

At that time, Prince Dulin didn't know that one of these two girls was the Left Bank Mountain Man he mentioned to the emperor, until Zoya was a little surprised and said to him: "Big brother, I didn't expect this Queen Mother of the Eastern Chu Kingdom to be so good to the Left Bank Mountain People!" ”

Du Lin was even more surprised than her: "Left bank mountain people? Which one? I thought the mountain people on the left bank didn't come! As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd.

Zoya looked at her brother speechless for a while, and then pointed to a girl with whom the Queen Mother was chatting with a kind smile and said, "Oh, that's not it!" ”

Du Lin looked in the direction she pointed, and only then did he notice that standing behind the Queen Mother, he thought that he was a group of palace maids, and there were two girls who were close to the Queen Mother and were listening to the Queen Mother with low eyebrows.

Zoya said: "The one on the left hand side of the Queen Mother!" ”

Du Lin's gaze fell on the face of the girl on the left hand side of the Queen Mother.

I didn't want Du Lin to look at the past, but I was attracted by that beautiful face, and I couldn't take my eyes off it at all, if there were thousands of soldiers shouting and galloping in my heart, and the war drums were heavy, there was only one thought in my mind: How can there be such a beautiful person in this world? !

"Big brother? Eldest brother! Big brother ......" Zoya called him several times, and finally grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously a few times.

Du Lin finally came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Zoya, and said a little dumbfounded: "You...... You say she'...... She's a left-bank mountain man? ”

Zoya: "yes! I heard that it is a famous calligraphy and painting master in the entire Eastern Chu Kingdom, and a figure highly respected by the Confucian Academy, right......"

Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, Du Lin asked, "What is it?" ”

Zoya: "I heard that she is not from a good background, but she is the top brand of the most famous brothel in the capital, Cuihong Mansion." ”

"Prostitute...... The number one brand of the brothel? Du Lin was shocked, "But he was extremely ...... by the Confucian Guild, which has always been rigid and decent Highly regarded? ”

Zoya nodded, then asked with a grin, "Amazing!" ”

Du Lin glared at her and blinked, and asked, "Since you recognize her, you should have seen her early in the morning, why do you still say that you want to see her today, let me go and tell the emperor to let her come to hunt together?" ”

Sharp, he already smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Zoya's face was a little naughty, but she still smiled and said, "This...... You can ask her! ”

"I ...... I don't go, she and I don't know each other. "Dulin Road. Strange, why did he ask the people on the left bank to ask him what the mountain man on the left bank said, he was so afraid?!

Zoya said: "Big brother, I didn't look at her right way just now, my eyes were straight, I called you several times, pushed you several times, and your soul that flew out came back!" Later, he added a special accent.

"I'm ......" Du Lin thought for a while before continuing: "I thought that the mountain man on the left bank was an elegant scholar, but I didn't expect it to be a woman, and I was shocked. ”

The brother and sister were joking here, but they didn't notice that in a dark corner not far away, a shadowy figure was watching them.

Although Yang Jie was shocked to see that Chu and Zhao also came to participate in the hunt outside the city, they were just prostitutes after all, even if they came, they didn't have much weight to speak in the royal family and officials, but Zoya, who was the princess of Xiwan Kingdom, was different.

Therefore, he didn't plan to change his plan, but he didn't know that Chu Nian, who was called to his side by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother patiently chatted with him, was being asked by the Queen Mother about redemption at this time.

"The mourning family is afraid that you will be ransomed by those official eunuchs, and you will enter the backyard of those official families with many rules, and your talent will be buried, so they specially asked Jie'er to redeem yourself for you, why don't you agree?"

The Queen Mother originally didn't want to mention this matter again, to be precise, she felt that Chu Nian didn't know how to raise and was too lazy to care about her affairs.

But after chatting with Chu Nian and Zhao Feiyan for a while, she found that although these two girls were born in brothels, they did not show any timidity in communicating with many noble ladies, acted properly and did not say anything, and the words they said were extremely interesting, and often made her laugh for a long time with one or two sentences, so this mind became active again, thinking that if she and the two of them were included in her palace and accompanied by herself, then her old age life would be a lot more colorful.

Chu Nian smiled when he heard this: "It is very good to have the queen mother redeem herself for the people's daughter, but the grandmother of the Emerald Red Mansion has always treated me very well, I have been asked by her to teach the piano and song skills since I was a child, and she spent a lot of silver taels on me; Besides, although I am in a brothel, I have always maintained my innocence, and thanks to my grandmother's many cares, she is so righteous to me, how can I let Lord Yang take me away after only giving her a thousand taels? If the other sons who were bidding at that time didn't put the price up to seven thousand taels, it would be fine......"

"A thousand taels?" The Queen Mother interrupted her.

Chu Nian: "Yes, he said that it was the Queen Mother's decree to redeem me with a thousand taels, I think this price is really worthy of my grandmother's care for me for so many years, I ...... I really didn't want to go, so I didn't agree. ”

The Queen Mother's face turned cold, she gave Yang Jie two thousand taels at the beginning, and asked Yang Jie to redeem Chu Nian, and said at the time that if it was not enough, Yang Jie would make up for the difference, and when she turned around, the Queen Mother would naturally think of making up the silver money for him from other ways, and it would not be worse for him.

Yang Jie came back and said that he raised the price to 8,500 taels in the auction, but Chu Nian just didn't agree to redeem himself...... How much silver do you want to cash out from her aunt with this Yang Jieli and outside?!

At this time, a middle-aged woman over forty years old opened her mouth and called: "Old sister......

A group of ladies who followed thought that the Queen Mother would not feel bored, and now they all gathered together with the Queen Mother to chat with her.

The woman who spoke was Mrs. Lan's wife, Wen. She is the only one here, because she grew up with the Queen Mother since she was a child, and the relationship is like a sister, and the Taifu is the emperor's teacher, so she dares to call the Queen Mother like this.

She smiled and said: "You don't know, two days ago, my family saw the painting of Niannian to my unfilial grandson, so they went to the Cuihong Mansion to redeem her, and as a result, the nobles in the capital have raised the price to 15,000 taels......"

"Fifteen thousand taels?" Another lady was surprised.

Wen said: "Not really. You also know that my family's mouth, there are so many monthly salaries, although Zhuangzi has a lot of income every year, but this big family still points to these inputs to live, how can I get so much silver for a while, I can only go back to the house stupidly. ”
