Yu Meiniang nodded and said, "If anyone causes trouble, it will be easy to forgive." Will you do things for me honestly in the future? No way! If you want to spare her, others will say that the Qiao family has no rules. What's more, I got angry when I saw her, could it be that you want me to keep her in front of you! ”

Qiao Siwan glanced at Rika in embarrassment. Rika kowtowed vigorously on the ground. His forehead was bleeding, and he looked at her with teary eyes, his face full of pleading.

Qiao Siwan personally helped her up. stood up and said, "Mother." If you think she's clumsy, send her somewhere else. ”

"Coming out of the Furui Courtyard. Who wants more? Lovely. Are you glad to accept it? ”

Qiao Ke showed a disgusted look on his face: "Mother." I don't want such a girl who doesn't understand the rules! ”

Yu Meiniang laughed. Anger is stored in the center of the eyebrows. A hint of slyness flashed in Mei's eyes: "Did you hear Wan'er?" No one would take it. Isn't it possible that I'm going to be sent to the old lady's house? ”

"Mother. Wan'er accepted her, do you think it's impossible? Qiao Siwan said with a smile.

Hongyu was anxious in her heart, how could she accept the pear fragrance! This lady of the ring, friend! said that banning today's appearance is the purpose of the lady, is the eldest lady entering the net? She couldn't help but wanted to step forward to speak, but Qiao Siwan glanced at her remotely, Hongyu's heart sank, and she immediately lowered her head, the eldest lady was prompting her. Such a place is not suitable for her to speak!

Qiao Siwan saw it very clearly, today's play is a bitter ploy, and Yu Meiniang took great pains to send someone to her side! She doesn't take it today. Immediately afterwards, Yu Meiniang would go to great lengths to bribe others to spy on her. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to ask for Lixiang. It's also good to let Yu Meiniang install a chess piece by her side openly.

Yu Meiniang looked at Qiao Siwan, as if she felt very unexpected, even if Qiao Siwan's words were in the right place, but she pretended to be a brother who didn't think so", don't look at her usually silent. In fact, he is the one who loves to cause trouble to his master, according to my opinion, or beat him to death! So friends are comfortable! ”

"The truth is a human life, please rest assured. Wan'er must teach Q well, her! ”

"My Yahuan is disobedient, how can I send it to you, doesn't it make you feel bad? When others heard it, they thought I was embarrassing you, Wan'er, why are you suffering? An embarrassed expression appeared on Yu Meiniang's face.

Everyone felt that Madame was really moved this time. Qiao Siwan knew that Yu Meiniang's performance today was just to force herself to say this.

"Mother. Man is what I want, and what will wrong happen in the future. Wan'er doesn't blame you. Qiao Siwan raised her eyes. His eyes were full of sincerity. "My mother has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart. Don't I know? Lixiang, my mother has spared you, and you are still annoyed and grateful? ”

Lixiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

The corners of Yu Meiniang's lips gradually condensed into an extremely cold smile. Pretending to be helpless. Shunshui Tuidan said. "Since Wan'er said so, then spare her and let her go with her to listen to the warm pavilion."

Lixiang kowtowed three times in a row: "Slave Mrs. Xie!" ”

"Get out, I don't want to see you again!" Yu Meiniang frowned and reminded again, "Wan'er." You have to go through this by yourself. Don't say that my mother shoehorned people you don't want. ”

"Naturally, not." Qiao Siwan said with a smile. He glanced deeply at Rika. Rika lowered her head stiffly, not daring to raise it to take another look.

Something like this. No matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Su is, she refuses to sit for a long time. Only made an appointment with Yu Meiniang, and on the day of Qiao Hao's full moon banquet, he would personally lead his offspring to congratulate. He proposed to leave, and before leaving, he looked at Qiao Siwan again and again, but he smiled and said nothing. Kong Yin was diluted by Yu Meiniang's suitable actions.

According to today's point of view, although Lin Meiniang's status is not as good as before, she may have scheming and tricks, and she has already prompted her. Let's see what she does next. Mrs. Su smiled lightly. Say goodbye to everyone and listen to the warm pavilion

Lixiang burst into tears and gave Qiao Siwan the gift of seeing the master and servant again: "Miss, thank you for saving your life." ”

Qiao Siwan looked at Rika. I just feel that she is petite and her skin is snow-white. Between the eyebrows and eyes, it is the most gentle and intelligent.

Qiao Siwan was very satisfied with her. Said to the calamus: "You accompany her to understand the mother in the yard, and place her things while possible." Calamus answered loudly and led Lixiang away with a friendly expression.

Rika walked away. Mama Fang's face showed a sad look, and she said in a low voice, "Miss, how can you contain such a person?" She's always by Madame's side! Can't you see that Madame is determined to send this ring to you? ”

This sentence is exactly what Hongyu wanted to say but didn't dare to say, Fang Jiaojiao brought up Qiao Siwan since she was a child. The difference between affection and others, Hongyu is indeed concentrating on worrying about the eldest lady. Hearing this, she looked at Qiao Siwan.

Qiao Siwan smiled faintly: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Yu Meiniang is temporarily frustrated now, do you really think she is poor in donkey skills?" If I don't accept this, she'll go to the trouble of stuffing someone else in the future. ”

There was a hint of disbelief on Fang Yanjiao's face: "How is this possible?" Now it's Aunt Li doing errands, and everyone needs her to nod. She wouldn't help Madame send someone into the Listening Pavilion. ”

Qiao Siwan was sitting under the window now. Her smile became brighter and more touching in the sunlight: "You can't send people in." If you can't buy it, you can't buy it. Is it impossible to coerce and lure? What kind of person she is? Could it be that Mama still can't see clearly? ”

"This-" Mama Fang's expression became more and more confused. "She's so sure that Miss will definitely accept the pear fragrance."

Qiao Siwan nodded and said, "That's true." "Something to say. She didn't tell Mama Fang that the person who believed most around Yu Meiniang was Mama Wang. But over the years, Rika has also followed her continuously, and many things are known very clearly. How could such a person Poppy be sent to him? Isn't she afraid of Rika's betrayal and selling her? Or is she already coping with it? No, it can also be that Yu Meiniang knew this, so she chose Lixiang to send it over. Because Lixiang knows a lot. The better Qiao Siwan's chance of accepting her, the more she replaced her. I don't necessarily think about it.

Talking about it. Poppies are also gambling. Her psyche. Qiao Siwan guessed a little, but she couldn't guess it either. She picked up a cup of tea and quietly took a sip, Mama Fang looked at Qiao Siwan, and only felt that her remote look had a kind of composure that consolidated the people's morale, which made her suspended heart also let go.

"Mama. Now that she has reached this courtyard, do not treat her any other way. I said with intent. Do you know? ”

This is to ask Mama Fang to mention the little girl ring underneath, don't be poisonous and oppress Lixiang. Fang Jin didn't know that this was Miss's request. The prostrate salute should respectfully "yes".

Qiao Siwan pondered for a long time. Only then did he whisper: "Hongyu, I have another errand for you to do!" ”

Hongyu caught a glimpse of Qiao Siwan's smile on her face, and it was really a little grim, and she couldn't help but say sharply: "Miss entrusts me." Ruby must have done her best. ”

Qiao Siwan nodded and said slowly, "Hongyu, go and inquire about who else is in Lixiang's family?" Who brought her in in the first place? Especially ask clearly. What relatives does she have who are on errands in the house? Has anyone been looking for it lately? The more detailed, the better! ”

Ruby nodded hurriedly "yes".

"There's another one. Have you settled down in Qiuyue? ”

Hongyu smiled: "Fortunately, you noticed it in time, otherwise people would be out of breath." The slave and maid have been entrusted according to the size and sister. Someone quietly sent her out of the house, and everyone thought that the grass was a body, but in fact she was a big living person. ”

"That's fine, be more stable in everything, and don't be scratched by others."

Mama Fang listened. added: "Miss rest assured, Qiuyue settled in the Zhuangzi under the name of the old lady." There won't be a mess. After thinking about it, she either felt uneasy. He said softly: "Miss, you just now, you shouldn't let Du Pu accompany Lixiang, what's the matter, it's more stable to entrust Hongyu." ”

Qiao Siwan shook her head. He said softly: "Calamus has been with me for so long, you should also take a look." Is she stupid, or wise and stupid? ”

Mama Fang and Hongyu glanced at each other. I suddenly realized in my heart that this was the eldest lady's porridge and calamus, and I wanted to see if she could be alert enough to deal with this incident.

All the maiden mothers knew that Rika had come from Furui Temple. Said with a smile. There is a hint of prevention in his eyes. Rika couldn't help but sigh.

"How. Isn't it good to listen to the warm pavilion! Calamus was helping her fix her room when she heard the sound of breathing. The strangest of them asked, "Is the lady's yard wider?" ”

Rika was stunned. Hurriedly said: "What Sister Calamus said, I just." I just think ...... My friends looked at me a little weirdly. ”

Calamus laughed, "It doesn't matter. You're new to the truth, and when I was first promoted to a first-class girl, I was also average, and everyone else looked at me with strange eyes! I know it too. I am no better than Sister Hongyu who has been with the eldest lady for the longest time. So you have to be more mindful in what you do, now you see. We have a good relationship! ”

Lixiang smiled slightly when she heard this, and secretly said that you were promoted from the third class to the first class, which attracted the jealousy of others. I came out of Madame's yard, and everyone else thought I was the one sent by Madame to spy on the eldest lady. Can that attitude be average? She looked at the calamus. There was a slight movement in my heart. "Calamus. Does the eldest lady usually treat you well? She-"

"Okay!" Calamus sorted out the quilt for the pear fragrance, and said with a smile, "All the masters." Let's count our eldest lady as the most kind. Never mess with personality because of a little thing. Usually there are good things in it that think of us. Neither as strict as the old lady, nor as delicate as the second lady. She glanced around and lowered her voice. I heard that Mrs. also quarrels with you from time to time! Now she's pulling you into the eldest lady's house, and on the surface, you're being kicked out, actually. You're going to walk away from the sea of misery. ”

Rika didn't make a sound. His fingertips were cold, and his eyes stuttered a little when he looked out the window. The eldest lady is good to others, but she comes out of the yard of her wife. Can the eldest lady have no pimples in her heart? What will she do with herself? Don't talk about the eldest lady, I'm afraid that the lady won't stop here, thinking of what Yu Meiniang didn't finish that day. She couldn't help herself, and she shuddered.

"Sister Rika, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she didn't reply, Calamus asked strangely.

The corners of Lixiang's mouth are slightly twitched. Half spit and half swallow: "Nothing." ”。

"You can rest assured. The eldest lady must be the most feminine master in the universe. Calamus looked at the pear's face. Laughing happily.

The next morning, Qiao Siwan opened her eyes, and Lixiang, who was dressed up refreshingly, was already standing at the door. Qiao Siwan glanced at Hongyu, Hongyu hurriedly came up to worship, but Lixiang stood crampedly in place, her head bowed and motionless.

Take a shower and change clothes. Qiao Siwan sat in front of the dressing mirror, and it was already half an hour later. Rika stood motionless all the time. I didn't dare to get close at all, and I didn't dare to grab what Hongyu and Calamus were doing.

She knows the rules very well, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to worry about the mood of other girls. With such a person, it is no wonder that he can stay by Yu Meiniang's side for so long. Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, let her in, and without looking at her expression, she said to the mirror, "You can help me dress up." ”

Rika lowered her head. Respectfully answered yes.

Qiao Siwan's black hair was like living water, bending down along the blue underwear of the sky.

Ruby handed over a white embroidered scarf. Lixiang took it and gently draped it over Qiao Siwan's shoulder. Then he picked up the comb again and pulled up her black hair in the mirror little by little.

The pear fragrance is combed little by little. I only felt that Qiao Siwan's hair was soft and dense, and her tentacles were soft, which made people love it, and she was running away, but suddenly heard a gentle voice: "What are you thinking?" ”

Rika was stunned. Suddenly his face turned white. He said in a low voice: "Returning to the eldest lady, the slave maid thinks that this comb is the most compact. Never seen in the past. ”

The comb she held in her hand was made of silver, and the shape on the top of the back of the comb was different from what Rika had seen elsewhere. Comb the body is not a flower or a bird. On the contrary, Li carved delicate markings that could not tell what the pattern was, and the back of the comb was arc-shaped crescent-shaped. The middle is hollow through the carving. The two ends of the comb back are also carved with flying bats, and the weather is realistic. The message is beautiful.

Qiao Siwan took the comb from her hand. Fingers gently rub the pattern on the comb. Rika smiled and asked, "Miss, what kind of pattern is this?" ”

Hongyu glanced at her and replied with a smile on her face: "These are the seven weapons of the ancients, extremely powerful, and killing people invisible. ”

Rika was stunned. His expression turned three points whiter. Far-fetched smiled: "How can Miss know this porridge?" ”

According to the custom of the time, the comb was engraved with a weapon to mean "murderous spirit", and most women would choose flowers and birds as the motif. There are very few sharp things like Miss Kim's porridge.

This is to remind yourself that at any time of the time, you should not forget that there is a dagger of Jinli still hanging above your head. Qiao Siwan held the comb in her hand, and the comb ruler left a red mark on the inside of her hand, and she laughed softly: "Because it can ward off evil spirits and suppress demons, and survive in desperate places." ”

Rika glanced at the comb again, and thought that the bat pattern did symbolize good luck and auspiciousness, so her heart relaxed slightly: "What does Miss want in a bun?" ”

"See for yourself." Qiao Siwan replied softly. With a smile on her face, Rika breathed a sigh of relief, and her movements were gentle and quickly combed. Slowly pulling up the last strand of hair, and taking a gold-encrusted ruby tassel with a complex shape from the carved and hollowed out gold jewelry box, Qiao Siwan glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's easy to change." ”

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the eldest lady had never seen very complicated gold ornaments, she thought about it, and took out a verdant jasper jade pipe from the box. After combing her makeup, Rika tiptoed to pick up the side copper mirror. In the front and back reflections, only the black hair jasper tube is seen. It is more and more lined with Qiao Siwan's beauty and incomparable.

Qiao Siwan nodded with a smile and agreed: "Comb the best." ”

Seeing that she was satisfied, Rika had just removed the white embroidered scarf. Then he smiled and said, "Eldest lady porridge is fine."

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly. casually fiddling with the gold ornaments in the box, he raised his eyes to look at Lixiang in the mirror and said, "You just came." Still used to it? ”

Rika lowered her eyes: "Friends are the best for slaves and maids." Slaves and maids are used to it. ”

Qiao Siwan said lightly: "What is the reason why my mother sent you to me?" Did you know? ”

Lixiang's heart sank: "The slave is clumsy." It made Madame angry. Qiao Siwan smiled slightly: "No, my mother saw that you were smart and understanding, and she wanted to send you to me." As soon as she said this, Lixiang's expression turned white.

Lixiang red-eyed: "Miss, aren't you questioning the slave!" ”

Qiao Siwan looked at her lightly and said, "Questioning? What do you question about you? Rika, I didn't say anything, why do you think I'm questioning you? ”

Rika gritted her teeth and knelt down: "Miss, the slave doesn't dare to do anything sorry for you." Let the slave and maid go! “

Qiao Siwan put away her smile and said lightly: "You didn't do anything wrong, no one will want to embarrass you, but if you do something you shouldn't do, then no one can protect you." ”

Rika bowed her head deeply: "Yes." ”

At noon, Lixiang came out of the listening pavilion. On the contrary, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. She also thought that she would definitely not have a good life when she arrived at Tingnuan Pavilion, but the result was beyond her expectations. Although the other maid mothers said that they were indifferent to her, they did not oppress her, and their frightened life was much better than her frightened life in Furui Hospital. She put on the embroidery in her hand and walked slowly forward.

Wang's mother approached quietly. Seeing Rika didn't notice. He coughed slightly. Rika hurriedly turned around and noticed that Wang's mother was standing behind her. There was a hint of a smile on his face, which had always been very serious.

"Mother Wang!"

"Pear. Is it okay to be around the eldest lady? Wang's mother asked with a light smile. I just came out of Madame's side," Wang's mother smiled and leaned closer to her, asking about Lixiang's environment around Qiao Siwan. Then he asked, "Do you want to go back to Furui Hospital?" ”

"It is Madame's intention to let the slave maid come to listen to the warm pavilion. Where did she leave the slave and maid. and the slave and maid shall do their work wherever they are. Lixiang knew that if she didn't reply well, Wang's mother would be angry. I can only reply at my discretion.

"That's right! You're enlightened. Mother Wang got closer and closer, lowered her voice and said in her ear, "Yahuan." You want to go back to Madame. I can help you, but it's up to you to see what you know. ”

As soon as I heard the other party say that I wanted her to come back. Rika has tightened the strings in her heart; I heard that the other party wanted to help. I was more and more surprised. No matter how stupid she is, she may be able to hear the intention in these words clearly, Mother Wang wants to let herself be an agent next to the eldest lady, and she remembers that the last time the lady said that she would let her be by the eldest lady's side, but suddenly stopped. Nothing to be said about. She lowered her head, her heart pounding, and she bit her lip hard and didn't speak. Ultimately. She stubbornly said, "Slave maid..." "Slaves don't dare..."

"Mother Wang, I beg you, don't do anything to Shuangqing, I'll do it like this." , Rika's tears flowed out at once.

"If you don't want me to do anything to her, you should know what to do! If there is any news from the eldest lady, you must report it to the lady at any time! ”

"You let someone else do it, I can't. If the eldest lady knew, she wouldn't have spared me. I'm just a girl! ”

"Someone else? The eldest lady's listening pavilion is guarded like an iron bucket. It's not that easy for others to get into. You went in just right. The lady of the province also worked hard! ”

"Mother Wang! I beg you. I don't understand anything, I'm afraid, it's really impossible. In the end, maybe it will cause some trouble for Madame! ”

"I've put the words here, you have to do it, you can't do it or you have to do it!" Mother Wang pulled her face down and laughed. "In a few days, it will be a bone and bone, if you mess up your wife's affairs, don't say that you mm, even if it is your father and mother, there will be no good fruit to eat!"

Rika looked at the hard-hearted Mother Wang in a daze, and her expression turned pale for a moment.

The days of listening to the warm pavilion are very remote, Lixiang has been in Furui Courtyard for six years, and the evil in the house has been clear in her heart, especially Madame, she can't rub a little sand in her eyes, and it is a pot of fire and a knife in the dark. She had already been terrified. Now she has been sent to the eldest lady. Bright and secret, her friends were wary of her, and she herself was indeed sent to be an agent, but it was strange to say, knowing that she shouldn't be close to the eldest lady, she still felt that Qiao Siwan had a kind of energy that made people move: the eldest lady's shallow smile, and the gentleness when frowning. Yahuan softly reprimanded when she did something wrong, and was rewarded without hesitation when she did the right thing. It's a high-ranking lady. But he has always been tireless in practicing piano and calligraphy everywhere over and over again, and even starting to pick flowers, make rouge, and make tea by himself. The personality is so gentle, but the style of acting is as decisive as a man, all of which makes Rika shock her and even perceive it, and everyone in this courtyard can't help but imitate her, smiling, and raising every hand. For her, Qiao Siwan is filled with mystery and seduction. She knew that she was an unwelcome person, or that she wanted to unlock the mystery of the eldest lady. She always felt that after lifting that veil. The truth inside will be an unexpected yearning.

The days go by quickly. For a moment. It was the day of Qiao Hao's full moon wine. It was a sunny day. Spring is bright. The flowers are red and willow green, which is very suitable for treats, and Yu Meiniang originally wanted to do a special case for Qiao Haodang. Li did not agree. I only held a few tables of feasts like the last birthday. A group of male guests ate wine in the front, and the female guests set up another drinking banquet in the backyard. The people who came back this time didn't know why there were many more people than last time, and the people who were good friends with the Qiao family in the capital didn't say anything. Many people who were curious about the eldest lady of the Qiao family, who was known as the capital and the lord of Rong, also came. There are also many colleagues who are not enthusiastic about Qiao Li in the officialdom. The pomp and circumstance were three points warmer than the last time Li did his birthday.

Yu Meiniang sat in front of the bronze mirror. Wearing a high bun. Wearing a nine-tailed big phoenix hairpin. The phoenix hairpin holds a string of pearls with a striking color, and a golden silk dotted emerald jeweled flower butterfly is pressed on the back of the head. Wearing a blood-colored bright gauze coat, a wide belt of gold brocade, and a dazzling peony pattern twelve long skirts, he actually polished the body that was a little obsessed with birth into graceful and graceful.

Wait for everyone to see themselves. Be surprised.

Yu Meiniang hooked the corners of her mouth. looked at the person in the mirror with a hint of pride, whitewashing the fierce color in his eyes.

Mother Wang examined her and said with a smile: "Thanks to Dr. Qian's prescription, Madame looks a little more energetic than before." ”

"Really?" Yu Meiniang smiled, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, "I naturally have to cheer up." If even I am depressed. Those will be more complacent. ”

"Today's matter-" Mother Wang looked at Yu Meiniang's delicate eyebrows in the mirror, and said softly hesitantly, "The old slave looked at Lixiang's maid ring as if she didn't know what to do. ”

"Later, when you watch the play, you can find a way to bring her to me." Yu Meiniang's eyes froze. Said coldly.

"Yes!" Wang's mother answered. A smile on his face regained.

At this time. Qiao Li summoned Liao Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry who had arrived one step earlier than everyone else, in the study.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to Brother Qiao for adding another sail" Liao Yuan sat in the study, with a smile on his face and a three-point joke, "What is the name of the little young master?" ”

Qiao Li said with a smile: "Qiao Hao." It's a long-cherished name. ”

"Good name." Liao Yuan nodded and said, "Today, I want to take Young Master Ling out for my friends to see."

Qiao Li's expression darkened, "! Qiao Li didn't say it on his face, but in fact, he was very concerned about the matter of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star in his heart. Yu Meiniang was afraid that others would plot against the child. watched every day, and didn't even let anyone enter Furui Temple. Even the people sent by the old lady stood in the way, and he always felt that there was something wrong here.

Liao Yuan glanced at him. The smile on his face became a little strange: "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I heard that there are some rumors in Dumen that are not beneficial to the little young master." ”

"What Legends Six." , The expression on Qiao Li's face froze.

Liao Yuan casually picked up a jasper paperweight in his hand and played with it. The expression on his face unconsciously carried a hint of solemnity. "You and I have been colleagues for many years. There are some things I don't want to hide from you. It is spread everywhere that Hui'an is too iron. Straight to the point, say that this little master of your family is a lone star. ”

Qiao Li was stunned, and night sweats flowed down his forehead. Speechless, Liao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not an outsider, that's why I'm talking to you about these things." I just wanted to tip you. There is usually nothing in these rumors, but you are the one who wants to go up, and there are so many words for no reason, I am afraid that it will damage your statement. ”

Qiao Li's night sweats almost soaked his back. A smile appeared on his face and said, "Yes." You're right. I should have noticed this a long time ago, Mrs. Hui'an has already said that when the child is born, he will be sent to the Taoist Shibo to practice, so that it can also eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, but my wife. You know, she was born in the Hou Mansion. Strong in nature. I'd rather die than obey, I had to keep the child by my side, and this time I held a full moon banquet. My mother said not to make a big deal, but she wanted to confront the big feast. I actually can't do anything about her. "Brother Qiao's actions in officialdom are decided. Why can't you do anything about these women? Liao Yuan heard this. He said with a serious smile on his face.

How can a man who can't even handle housework well be an official in the field? Qiao Li also knows this. It's just that he's always hard to say. I am afraid of Lin Wenyuan. will give in to Yu Meiniang step by step. Liao Yuan also said in the opposite of his empty words, and said without hesitation: "Brother Qiao, I will also reverse you in circles." Think about it, why are there more people coming to your son's full moon banquet this time than the old lady's birthday banquet last time? ”

Qiao Lixin called. A few dry laughs. "Most of those people are looking at your golden face, and I know you will also attend." To say that it is forbidden is to take the opportunity to climb high. Otherwise, it depends on my thin noodles. Where do you get so many guests? ”

This is a compliment, Liao Yuan smiled slightly, and it was the most useful. And threw out a weighty message: "You know. I'm almost promoted! ”

Qiao Li's heart burned when he heard this, and his face showed a look of surprise and joy: "Congratulations to Brother Liao!" This time—do you know where you're going? ”

Liao Yuan glanced at the closed doors and windows. Only then did he say softly: "Listening to the intention of the King of Thailand, it is to go to Zhongshu Province to serve as Zuo Cheng, and he will be hired soon." ”

Liao Yuan is strict and steady, and now that he is talking to Qiao Li about this kind of thing, this matter is bound to be settled. Qiao Li chuckled in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Liao is highly talented, so he is naturally an official and has risen step by step. The little brother is really both admired and admired! ”

Liao Yuan glanced at him, and his tone revealed a slight accusation, and said, "I told you earlier that you usually go around with me more!" His Royal Highness the King of Qin is not a thing in the pool. If you climb up to him, you won't have to worry about not being able to rise! Even your brother-in-law. No, it's not average——;. At this point, he suddenly stopped

Lin Wenyuan and King Qin are also very close, Qiao Li is not stupid, he has already heard the intention to speak, but he also has a hard time, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion seems to be a whole, but in fact, it has long fallen apart, and the daughter of his eldest uncle Lin Wenlong is about to marry into the Prince's Mansion. The second uncle, Lin Wenyuan, is very close to the King of Thailand, so he stands in two different camps, which is not a bad thing for the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. Whoever wins in the end will not be the wrong treasure, it is always good to leave more roads, for yourself, it is difficult to choose, a bad choice, and it will be planted. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I can't help it, you know." My niece is going to marry into the prince's mansion, when the time comes. I'm hard to be caught in the middle. "He's the most feminine approach. It's just a little more investigative and a little more until the situation really settles.

Liao Yuan knew Qiao Li's inner proposition. The heart says, you wait and wait. The situation is really settled. This thigh is not easy to hold! Xuan sneered, "Don't blame me for not prompting you. As soon as I leave, this seat will be vacant, you should also hurry up and plan your activities, don't be taken advantage of.

Qiao Li was overjoyed. But he said with a deep groan: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult." You know my achievements—"

Liao Yuan smiled: "Don't be careless with me." His Royal Highness King Qin is willing to help you in this matter. It's more than half of it, let Mrs. Zun find that Lin Shangshu to plan. Are you afraid that you won't be able to do it? ”

Qiao Li was stunned for a moment, the motive in his heart turned back and forth, and said: "Brother Liao, I can't do without your promotion now, if there is this possibility, it depends on your many kind words in front of His Highness." ”

Liao Yuan didn't reply, but instead brought up another matter: "Your eldest daughter, her fortune is getting better and better, and even Cao Guozhang's family has sent someone to ask when I heard it." ”

Qiao Li's heart jumped and said, "The Cao family has taken on the title of a national abbot. is also stained with the light of nepotism, where is it compared to Brother Liao's family, not to mention the scholarly family background. The virtuous nephew is even more open-minded. People say that you are blessed, your children and grandchildren are very good, and there is no way out, no way out!

Liao Yuan was used in his heart. The smile deepened, and he said, "That's all for my words." It's good that you know it in your heart.

In Liao Yuan's opinion, Qiao Li himself is nothing. It's not worth worrying about, there is another Zhenguo Mansion behind him. In this officialdom, the roots are intertwined, and feng shui rotates. No one said what would happen to the ban in the end. Therefore, it is okay to remind him one or two within the appropriate limitations. It's just that he should also respond to the draft.

Listening to the warm pavilion, Qiao Siwan was just dressed and was about to go out to welcome guests, when she suddenly heard a noisy voice inside. Mama Fang was about to go out to see, when she heard the voice of calamus coming from inside: "Miss, the old lady is unwell." ”

The people in the house were startled, and Qiao Siwan frowned. Yesterday I went to invite An Li's family, and today is Qiao Hao's full moon banquet. Why did you get sick?

The house was silent in the blink of an eye. Qiao Siwan sighed silently.

Mama Fang was full of doubts: "Miss." Old lady this is like. ”

Qiao Siwan said, "I'll go and see first." ”

When Qiao Siwan arrived at Shou'an Hall, she saw that Zhang's mother's eyes were red, as if she had cried, and she was a little surprised, and when Zhang's mother saw Qiao Siwan coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, go and see the old lady." ”

"Mother Zhang. The old lady came yesterday or was fine, why is she sick today? Qiao Siwan whispered, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

Zhang's mother glanced at the yahuan mothers around her. I took a long breath", and the old lady woke up in the morning, and her chest was a little tight. Shicai shouted a headache. also said that today is the little young master's full moon wine. I had to attend, and before I got to the door, I fainted. Dr. Wang has been invited and is prescribing a prescription for the old lady. That's when it happened. Aunt Li suddenly lifted the curtain from inside and walked out. Looking at Qiao Siwan's expression of surprise, "Miss." ”

Qiao Siwan asked, "How is grandmother now?" Are you alright? ”

Aunt Li said: "The old lady is relieved, and Yumei is being raised nearby. I was about to go out to report

Master. ”

Qiao Siwan nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are many guests today." Daddy was entertaining guests in the front hall, and he first saw how the old lady was going before deciding, otherwise it would not be good to disturb the guests outside. Aunt Li nodded when she heard this, and said, "Or maybe the eldest lady thinks diligently." ”

All the way into the boudoir, Yumei, who was guarding in front of the old lady, saw Qiao Siwan coming, and hurriedly gave up her position in front of the old lady's bed. Qiao Siwan walked up to see, Li Shi was lying on the pillow, his face was pale, his breathing was a little hasty, Qiao Siwan had just approached. Li had already opened his eyes and saw her nodding. Said slowly: "Wan'er is here." ”

Qiao Siwan couldn't help herself with worries: "What is wrong with grandmother?" ”

Lee's voice was weak", I was very dizzy. As she spoke, Qiao Siwan looked at Dr. Wang beside the bed, "Look." What happened to Grandmother? ”

Dr. Wang's face was suspicious. "Judging from the pulse, there is no big problem. It's also getting warmer. The old lady was temporarily uncomfortable. He shook his head. When the people nearby heard this, they said in their hearts, what kind of drawback, even the doctor couldn't see it?

Li Shi seemed to be very weak and couldn't sit up, she waved her hand to the people around her: "You go first."

Let's go down, I'll talk to the eldest lady. ”

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, couldn't help biting her lip, and said softly: "I'll also leave a message for the old lady!" ”

Li Shi looked at her, "It's okay." Just leave Wan'er alone here. ”

Aunt Li's eyes flashed. Only then did he retreat with everyone, leaving only Li and Qiao Siwan in the house. There is also the old lady's confidant Zhang's mother.

Lee let out a sigh of relief.

Qiao Siwan said: "Grandmother's body has always been healthy, and this time it is naturally no big problem. You relax and recuperate. ”

Li said: "I know, this is not an ordinary illness, that day, the life of the lone star is too hard. I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be killed by him. I just regret it. When I first started, I didn't put my mind to it. I always felt that the child was gone, but I didn't expect that this day the lonely star would bite our family to death," he said lightly. "If I could have removed her before, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Qiao Siwan lowered her head, the Li family seriously hated poisoning Yu Meiniang, and she could actually say such a thing.

Li sighed, struggled to take Qiao Siwan's hand, and lamented. "I have been married to the Qiao family for so many years, and I have worked hard to support it. If it was because of this child, what damage did the Qiao family have? I'm ashamed of your grandfather. Ashamed of the ancestors of the Qiao family. As she spoke, she coughed violently. Qiao Siwan hurriedly stepped forward and smoothed her chest with her hand.

Li Shi looked at Qiao Siwan. Said: "I can't include this banquet today. and you and those husbands

People say I'm not feeling well. ”

The grandson's full moon wine, grandmother really did not include it. Such a thing cannot be found in all the gates. Wouldn't it be necessary to confirm Qiao Haotian's name as a lone star, and let Yu Meiniang break her stomach? Qiao Siwan looked at Li. I sighed in my heart for this young brother. Busy said: "Grandmother." You have no worries. Don't worry about recuperation, don't think too much about other things, the full moon banquet will naturally go smoothly. ”

Li nodded, "Wan'er, look at your mother." Don't let her make anything that would damage the reputation of the Qiao family. ”

In the past month, the Li family has repeatedly mentioned the matter of sending Qiao Hao to the temple. Poppies borrowed. The child is not full moon. The body is weak again. The confrontation refused to let anyone touch him. And so it goes. The gap between the old lady and Yu Meiniang is naturally getting deeper and deeper, and the beam is getting bigger and bigger.

The female guests slowly arrived, and a group of richly dressed ladies gathered around the small round table, sitting and eating tea and chatting. The ladies also talked to people they knew. The pomp and circumstance were the most enthusiastic.

Qiao Siwan wore a plain tulle jacket with a collar. Embroidered with elegant green calyx plum blossoms. Inside, there is a moon-white cardigan with a lilac Xiangshui hibiscus skirt. The head is in a bun, the moon beads behind the ears, a slight smile, bright and refreshing. This skirt is custom-made by the Li family who intends to find a first-class embroidery building. The most delicate and beautiful, especially in the fabric x embroidery, and in other colors and shapes. It took a lot of psychology.

The ladies looked very porridge, and they all asked her which embroidery building made the skirt on her body, and which gentleman's handwriting, Qiao Siwan replied with a smile ,—— talking.
