In the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Han Ningshuang came to see Xiumei as promised, and when the guards at the door saw her, they all greeted her cordially.

These people, Han Ningshuang is all familiar with, and they are all people who watched her grow up, because her father Han Shi used to be Shen Cheng's subordinate, and he is a comrade with these people, even if Han Shi's current official position is the same as Shen Cheng, but the respect for Shen Cheng in his heart is not a lot.

Therefore, it is normal for Han Ningshuang to enter and leave the Shen Mansion.

It's just that she asked all over the General's Mansion, and no one knows where Xiumei lives!

Han Ningshuang couldn't help frowning, and was about to ask for clarity the next time she saw Min Yan, when she saw Lin Qing.

Lin Qing hurriedly walked over, "Miss Han, you are here, are you looking for the general?" ”

"No, I'm here to see Xiumei."

"Embroidered plum?"

Lin Qing frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember who this person was.

Han Ningshuang said again: "It was the Lord of Showa who asked me to come and see her." ”

Speaking of the Showa County Lord, Lin Qing suddenly remembered the woman that Minyan sent to Shen Cheng that night.

"You can't be the woman, you're talking about it!"

It had been so long, and Shen Cheng hadn't mentioned it at all, because he had already forgotten about that woman, and he didn't even know if she starved to death.

Lin Qing said: "The general asked me to find her a place to live, and I will let her live in Qingliangyuan, and I will take you there." ”

The two arrived at the Qingliang Courtyard, which was really as desolate as the name suggested.

The small yard has no flowers and plants, and a piece of land has been opened against the wall in the east, and it is bare on this cold day and I don't know what has been planted.

Han Ningshuang said in her heart, no wonder the county lord asked her to take a look, it seems that Xiumei is really not doing well in the General's Mansion.

"Girl." Lin Qing stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted.

"Who!"

The people in the house replied and opened the door, the original gorgeous clothes have been changed to ordinary coarse linen clothes, the hair is pulled up at will, and there is no powder, such embroidered plums look like ordinary girls.

Seeing Lin Qing, Xiumei was surprised: "Guard Lin." ”

How could this not surprise her, after all, since she arrived here, it was like being free-ranged, except for three meals a day, no one cared about her at all, and the skills she taught her mother in the building were useless.

Lin Qing said: "This is the daughter of General Han, Miss Han, she was entrusted by the county lord to come and see you." ”

"County Lord?" Does she remember herself?

Han Ningshuang said: "The county lord is worried that you will not have a good time in the General's Mansion, so he specially asked me to take a look." ”

When Lin Qing heard this, he touched his nose with some weakness.

After all, it's really not good to leave people here to fend for themselves, although that's not his intention.

Xiumei looked at Han Ningshuang, "Please thank the county lord for me, I'm fine here." ”

Lin Qing said: "I'll let someone change her residence." ”

Xiumei said: "No need for Lin Guard, it's good for me to live here, you just need to give me a little carbon." ”

Compared to selling her flesh and skin, this place couldn't be better for her.

Han Ningshuang looked at Lin Qing, and Lin Qing hurriedly said, "I'll ask someone to send it, what else do you need, tell me all about it." ”

Xiumei was surprised and uneasy: "Is it really okay?" ”

Lin Qing nodded hurriedly, and Xiumei said, "Then can you give me some embroidery thread, I want to have something to pass the time." ”

"That's fine, I'll send it to you early tomorrow morning."

After seeing Xiumei and improving her life, Han Ningshuang felt that what Minyan asked her to do had already been completed.

So, it's time to go back......

Lin Qing said: "Miss Han, won't you go and see the general before leaving?" ”

"No need, the general has so many things, I won't bother him."

Then, she didn't even see Shen Cheng's face, so she left.

Lin Qing is obviously used to her like this, and it is not surprising.

The sky is dark, and in the back garden of Prince Jing's mansion, a fire has been set up by the lotus pond, and the deer and mutton are on the fire, and there is also the oil of the rabbit fat chicken being roasted.

Camellia is busy sprinkling spices on top.

Peony Herb was busy preparing the utensils.

Min Yan said: "We can't finish eating so many things, pothos, you go and invite the Cao family and the Wang family over." ”

King Cao and Wang are the only two concubines in Qi Zhi, but since Liu Shuhui entered the door, these two people are just decorations.

Peony and herb glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked the next person to prepare two more sets of utensils.

At the same time, it is also strange that Minyan has never paid attention to the two of them, how could she go out of her way to call the two of them over today.

The camellia had set the roasted deer aside, sliced it with a small blade, and placed it on a plate with vanilla.

When Cao Wang and the others arrived, the camellia had already begun to slice mutton.

"The concubine has seen the county lord."

"You're welcome, sit down!"

"Thank you, Lord Shire."

The two sat down nervously, and Min Yan said: "On a whim, I asked the girl to make a barbecue to eat, and I couldn't finish eating too much, so I remembered the two aunts." ”

The two of them stood up in unison, "Thank you Lord for your concern." ”

"It's not a big deal, look at you guys are nervous, sit down, it's going to be cold for a while."

The two of them sat down helplessly, and Peony put a piece of meat and chopsticks in front of them.

"Thank you."

These two people are only thirty years old, a few years younger than Liu Shuhui, and they were admitted to the door when the Yu family was there, and they were all the daughters of petty officials with innocent family backgrounds.

The clothes worn by the two of them were faintly old in the firelight, and they were so polite to the girl, but it was not easy to think that life in the house would be difficult.

Liu Shuhui still has the two of them, and he also knows that Qi Zhi will not move the two of them, and he also doesn't want to leave a reputation for jealousy.

The two of them took a piece of meat and put it in their mouths.

"The two aunts know that I am at odds with the princess, have you ever thought about borrowing my hand to regain the attention of your father?"

Min Yan's sudden voice startled the two of them, and seeing that the two of them were about to get up again, Min Yan hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, it's all your own family, how many courtesies." ”

The two sat down again, quietly glanced at each other, and both showed wry smiles.

Liu Shuhui didn't enter the door, Qi Zhi was still cold to them, not to mention now, they didn't ask for anything else, just to live in peace and contentment.

Minyan: "Look, you're only thirty, so young, are you willing to die in the backyard so old?" If you don't think about yourself, what about your family, they know that you can enter Prince Jing's mansion, but you can't seek any benefits for your family, won't there be complaints? ”

Min Yan's words fell, the two lowered their heads silently, how could they not complain, they were also cultivated by their families, when they heard that they could enter Prince Jing's mansion, they didn't know how much hope they had, but their hopes eventually turned into disappointment.

At first, the family would write a letter and ask for something, but gradually there was no news, and they could only spend money to inquire if they wanted to know the news of the family.

Knowing that life at home is getting worse and harder, it is like a knife.

Cao Shi clenched his fists and slowly raised his head, his gaze firm, "What does the county lord want to do?" ”

Wang also looked at her with burning eyes.

Min Yan smiled, "I don't want to do anything, I just don't want Liu Shuhui to be so proud." ”

Speaking of Liu Shuhui, Min Yan had a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, early this morning, Peony took out the bedding pillow in her house to dry, the thread at one end of the pillow was a little loose, Peony found a needle and thread, wanted to sew it up, but she didn't expect to find something inside, Manfu She couldn't think of a second person who had a reason to do such a thing, except for the mother and daughter.

She said how she was so sleepy these days.

"I have two boxes of good creams there, and I'll have them sent to your yard when I go back, if you want to compete for favor, you can't do it without a good color."

The two subconsciously touched their faces, and Min Yan said again: "If there is anything missing in the backyard, you can tell me, the county lord has nothing, only silver." ”

And with silver, a lot can often be accomplished.

The two of them saluted Min Yan at the same time, "Thank you, Lord County." ”

"You don't have to be so polite, if you don't eat this barbecue, it's really going to be cold."

After eating the barbecue with the same taste as chewing wax, Cao Wang and the two took their leave and went back.

The two tacitly came to Cao's courtyard, and when they arrived at the door, the two asked the girl to guard outside.

As soon as the door closed, the Wang family said impatiently: "Sister Cao, what do you say the county lord wants to do?" ”

Cao Shi looked at Wang, "No matter what she wants to do, let me ask you, do you want to come out?" ”

"I thought about it."

"Then the county lord is our only chance."

"Sister Cao, you ...... It's decided. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, then I'll go to Huangquan with my sister, it's a big deal, it's better than this daily nightmare."
