"Miss Yang, the county magistrate's daughter, wants to see you." Shopkeeper Qiu said in a low voice, looking very excited.

Lin Meiyi frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Miss Yang see me?" ”

"Why else can I see you?" Shopkeeper Qiu said helplessly: "Naturally, it's for this month's peony meeting." ”

As he spoke, he went to see Lin Meiyi's expression, and when he saw that she was at a loss, he asked suspiciously: "Don't you know about the Peony Society?" Our county is held once a year, this year by the county order Mrs. presided over, in the peony meeting, the ladies and ladies fight grass and drink tea, it is very lively. ”

"But this kind of banquet is not something that ordinary people can go." Shopkeeper Qiu added regretfully.

When Lin Meiyi heard her words, she finally understood, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Miss Yang asked me to make hairpins for her?" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head, leaned forward, and said mysteriously: "It should be more than that, Miss Lin, you can honestly explain it to me, in fact, you can also make ready-to-wear clothes, right?" ”

Lin Meiyi raised her eyebrows, did not deny it or admit it directly, and when Shopkeeper Qiu saw it, his heart suddenly understood.

Originally, she didn't have much confidence in this matter, but now it seems that she is completely overly worried, this girl is very capable.

"Miss Lin, you don't often go into the city, there is something you probably don't know." Shopkeeper Qiu sat down opposite Lin Meiyi and said slowly:

"The lady and the lady of the state government went back to our hometown in Luxian County to worship their ancestors, and they wanted to live here for a while, three days ago, the lady of the state government sent an invitation, inviting the ladies of the city's leading families to have a banquet with flowing water, and at the banquet, Miss Yang seemed to have a dispute with the lady of the state government."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Qiu deliberately raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Meiyi, and reminded: "If Miss Lin seizes this opportunity and makes a name for herself in one fell swoop, why worry about her livelihood in the future?" ”

Lin Meiyi shook her head lightly, noncommittal, and only said: "Shopkeeper Qiu, this matter is not a small risk, Miss Yang wins, we lose, Miss Zhou wins, we still lose, no matter what, it seems that we will offend the two Miss Zhou." ”

Shopkeeper Qiu just saw her shake her head, and thought she wouldn't agree, but now that he heard the reason, he immediately smiled.

"This Miss Lin doesn't know anything, just the names of the four major families can suppress those small actions, Miss Lin just have to rest assured."

"Four families?" Lin Meiyi found a blind spot.

Shopkeeper Qiu was really helpless this time, but thinking about Lin Meiyi's identity, he was relieved, and patiently gave Lin Meiyi a science about the four major families.

Hebei Lu family, Taiyuan Wang family, Yingchuan Xun family, Southern Hongyang family, and called the four major families.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it relied on the support of the four major families, and after the completion of the Great Zhou, these veteran figures thought about the descendants of the family, and at the same time to avoid the suspicion of the emperor, took the initiative to withdraw from the court, returned to their hometown, and concentrated on cultivating the younger generations.

The patriarchs are so knowledgeable, the emperor is also happy, after the development of the imperial examination system, all the disciples of the four major families will be given priority to be admitted, and over time, above the court, most of them are the descendants of the four major families, and the power has gradually become stronger.

And the four major families have opened private schools, and the world's talents are all in pursuit of being able to worship the great Confucianism, and there are many disciples under the disciples, and the power is widely implicated.

Relying on the relationship between in-laws, the four major families are tightly embraced, and they are a huge force that can compete with the nobles in Beijing.

After listening to this information, and then thinking of the surname of the county commander, Lin Meiyi suddenly realized, "It turns out that our Yang county order is a child of the promotion clan!" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu smiled and waved his hand, "Not only that, the four major families are headed by the Lu Wang family, the Xun family and the Hongyang family are behind, and the county lady is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, which is more noble than our county order." ”

"Although Miss Yang's surname is Yang, she grew up under the knees of Mrs. Wang's wife, didn't Miss Yang's family affairs spread the word before, guess who was the son-in-law of the county order?"

Lin Meiyi shook her head, she was not in the county, and she did not participate in Miss Yang's ceremony, how could she know?

Shopkeeper Qiu said with a smile: "It is Lu Yu, the second master of the Lu family, this old man is really a talent, he is young, he is already a general, this time Lu County was recruited, he led the team to the Northern Regions." ”

"That's right!" Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly remembered something, and said happily: "I can't tell if your brother just followed this Second Master Lu, how can this Second Master Lu be regarded as the son-in-law of our Lu County, I think it will not be bad for our guys in Lu County, now you can rest assured." ”

This is really good news, Lin Meiyi smiled lightly, "I didn't know until today that the leader of the eldest brother turned out to be General Lu, so this time Miss Yang's matter, she won't let me pick me up, I will pick it up!" ”

"That's right, no state lady can compare to the young lady from the four major families, with the assistance of Mrs. Wang, our county commander will be promoted to Zhizhou sooner or later." Shopkeeper Qiu laughed quietly.

After speaking, he also reminded Lin Meiyi not to spread these whispers, otherwise before they were promoted to the magistrate of the county order, the two of them would go to the state capital prison first.

Lin Meiyi bowed her head, these things don't need to be reminded by Shopkeeper Qiu, she will be tight-lipped.

The two chatted for a while about what happened at the banquet in Liuyu Qushui, the shopkeeper Qiu couldn't come to the scene in person, he didn't know much, most of them were some gossip about catching the wind and shadows, and the credibility was not high.

However, the discord between the two young ladies has been certain, and since this is the case, the peony flower club on April 20 will definitely compete with each other.

Shopkeeper Qiu joked: "I heard that there are now two young ladies' gambling tables in the gambling house. ”

"These people are really boring." Lin Meiyi complained.

Qiu shopkeeper: "It's really boring, after all, our small Lu County, this is a new thing all year round, and everyone wants to be lively together." ”

While the two were talking, the guy brought Zhao Xiangling over and was waiting outside the door.

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Lin Meiyi, "You also brought a helper this time?" ”

Lin Meiyi explained with a smile: "A poor man, now living in my house temporarily. ”

Shopkeeper Qiu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and called the guy to lead people in.

Lin Meiyi pointed to the vacant seat, "You sit down first, next to me is the autumn shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop." ”

Zhao Xiangling hurriedly squatted down and made a junior salute, "Xiangling has seen the shopkeeper Qiu. ”

"Hey, don't engage in these hypocrisy, since you are a friend of Miss Lin, let's sit together, we have been fortunate all the way, drink a cup of tea to quench our thirst first." Shopkeeper Qiu personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the vacant seat.

Zhao Xiangling thanked her, sat down nervously, took a sip of the teacup, and then looked at Lin Meiyi, wanting to stop talking.

"It's okay, you have something to say." Lin Meiyi said lightly.

Zhao Xiangling glanced at the shopkeeper Qiu again, and saw that she also signaled herself to speak boldly, and then she told the counted data.

20 patterned disc buckles, 20 patterned disc buckles, and 10 phoenix tail disc buckles, not priced.
