Zhao Congye rarely spends the night in the mansion, and it is rare to have it once in these years. Tonight, An Linglong stayed in this mansion, and he spent the night in this bedroom for the first time.

The side concubine originally opened this knot slowly, but seeing that the candle in this bedroom had not been extinguished all night, orange and yellow, and bright, she sat all night.

In the past, she was the only woman in this mansion, and when the four princes returned to the mansion, although they did not sleep with her all night, they left after the clouds and rain. Now, I'm afraid she really has to stay alone in the empty room.

It was already dawn, but the door of this bedroom had not yet opened, and the side concubine sat all night, and then got up and began to take care of the affairs of the mansion.

There are still two days to marry the concubine, and the head ceremony department in the palace has sent a lot of people to the mansion to arrange and help, but she can't be idle, she is staring at all the big and small things in this mansion.

After another hour, the door in this bedroom opened, Zhao Congye was full of energy, his cheeks were tough, and he reached out and patted the side concubine: "This mansion arrangement, there is a side concubine!" ”

The side concubine's cheeks were tired, and she smiled respectfully: "It should be!" ”

Zhao Congye waited for An Linglong to leave the mansion together, An Linglong only brought a slave and maid, and after getting up in the morning, Zhao Congye asked the most capable ten slaves and maids in the mansion to serve, and this battle must have made many people blush.

An Linglong and Zhao Congye sat in a sedan chair at their own home, and first sent Zhao Congye to the palace, and then returned to Anfu. Along the way, many people in the capital watched. Before An Linglong returned to the mansion, this rumor was spoken.

The slave maid bought breakfast and handed it to An Linglong in the carriage: "Miss, these traders will gossip, what reward do you give?" ”

An Linglong, who was sitting in the carriage, took a bite of the gold silk cake with her white hands, and her peach lips rose, this exquisite makeup set off her more and more watery, and she blinked a pair of watery eyes: "Bicui, it doesn't matter, they are willing to say it, just say it, I'm very happy!" ”

Bicui's eyes were stunned, she was afraid that she was not fully familiar with the rules of Anfu: "Miss, if this matter is known by the lord and the lady, she will definitely be punished!" ”

An Linglong ate the golden silk cake, her heart was sweet, and her blue eyes became more and more bright, "I was originally a girl who grew up in the countryside, this is what Anfu owes me, and my mother and father will not say anything about me!" "Although An Linglong is the eldest daughter of the Quan Mansion, she has a deeper affection for her adoptive parents, and now that she has returned to the Ann Mansion, it is just a blood relationship.

She didn't care too much about her mother's dislike that she was a daughter and threw herself in a temple on the outskirts of the city when she was still an infant. In fact, it was also when she came to the capital that she knew that her father was in love with her biological mother. Su, the father who raised himself, was not an ordinary farmer, he used to be the guard of Anfu, and he was the person next to his biological mother.

Later, this thought was discovered by Prime Minister An, and he was sent out of the Prime Minister's mansion. Outside, he married a woman and gave birth to Su Binghuai, and later his mother gave birth to a daughter, and he also asked him to find a baby boy in exchange, and his daughter was An Linglong, so he brought it up.

An Linglong finally knew that why her adoptive father, Su, was better to her than her biological parents, and it was because of the woman she liked.

An Linglong returned all the way back to the mansion, as she expected, her mother, that is, the second aunt of the original mansion, Guo Shi, had been waiting at the door for a long time, and now she is the wife of the house, watching her daughter come back eating golden silk cakes, her face was still smiling, and her face was green with anger.

"Now that you are no longer the country woman you used to be, you need to pay attention to your words and deeds, don't be so frivolous anymore!" Guo's hand was originally holding a whip, but seeing An Linglong's petite body, a head shorter than her, this heart was soft again, after all, she owed her in the past, although the rules of the family were here, but the whip in this hand could not be used no matter what.

An Linglong knew this, and obediently untied the cloak draped over her shoulders, wearing only a blue dress, which set off her cheeks more and more white. This ink-like green silk, casually draped from the shoulders to the waist of Yingying's hand, gentle and delicate, with peach lips open and holding a cup of tea: "Mother! Drink some tea to quench the fire, my daughter knows what to do and what not to do! ”

Guo Shi took the teacup in his hand, twisted his eyebrows, and turned his head, and the bead hairpin on his head shook slightly: "If you know what you should do, you shouldn't spend the night in Congye Mansion, after all, you will only get married the day after tomorrow!" ”

"How can we be afraid of this little gossip, besides, in the illness of the side concubine of this Congye Mansion, I served all night, which is a good thing, how can my mother say that I went to meet my future husband?" An Linglong's eyes fluttered, and she reached out to pull her mother Guo's arm, and said coquettishly.

When Guo Shi heard this, he was relieved: "It turns out that you went to serve the side concubine of the four princes last night!" ”

"Otherwise, what does my mother think I'm going to do?" An Linglong saw that her mother's anger had subsided, so she smiled and pulled her to sit down together.

Guo Shi was half incredulous, turned his head and glanced at the slave maid An Linglong took to the mansion, and saw her hanging her head and silently, this heart also had an answer, and her face sank again: "Lingling, it's my mother who can't stand you, I don't have a good life with you, although these four princes are with us to settle down, but it is inevitable that they will bully you, and you will still have more eyes for yourself in the future!" ”

"Mother, our Anfu family has a big business, and my father has a strategy, our Anfu's daughter will not be bullied!" An Linglong has only been in the capital for half a year, but this Guo Shi feels that she is not at all like a girl who grew up in the countryside, and she does not seem to be so pure and naïve.

But she doesn't know how Su Mi has come over in the past three years, and now she is no longer the pure country girl. The pain of peeling off the cocoon, every time I dream back at midnight, I will still be awakened by nightmares, and I will still not be able to sleep all night.

"Go back and rest!" A look of disappointment flashed in Guo's eyes.

An Linglong saluted, said goodbye to her mother, and went back to her room to rest. When she arrived in the room, she saw the soft and weak appearance of the slave and maid who went with her, and she stretched out her hand and slapped her: "You go to the miscellaneous room to do things!" ”

This Bicui hurriedly knelt on the ground, and tears fell straight down: "Miss, you just let me serve you in this mansion, and I will listen to you in everything in the future!" ”

"When you take the money from Anfu, you naturally have to listen to your mother and father, and I know that you have to report everything to my mother. But I An Linglong just thinks that you are satisfied, and I don't need anyone who doesn't follow me like this! After An Linglong finished beating someone, her hand hurt a little, and her palms were red.

Bicui knew that she was wrong, the miscellaneous servants in this mansion were a place where life was worse than death, and they were all mixed men and women living in the same room, there were more men than women, she was only fourteen years old, and she was bound to suffer.

The miscellaneous servants in this mansion are all people who have made mistakes in various mansions, and what they do all day long is to carry dung and water, this woman is generally the person who seduces the young master in various mansions, so there are not many.

An Linglong sat on the chair, last night, it was a night of pretending to sleep, at this time she was very sleepy, a pair of tired eyes, stared at Bicui who was kneeling on the ground, there was no pity in her eyes: "Pack up your things and go to the handyman room by yourself!" ”

After speaking, An Linglong yawned, stood up and went to the bedroom. In Anfu, she lives in Linglong Pavilion. This Linglong Pavilion was specially built for her by Prime Minister An after she returned home. This style is not inferior to the princess of the emperor in the palace, in order to make up for the deficit over the years.

In this exquisite pavilion, the carved beams and jade are the best, the gold and silver threads are the most common things, and even the cups used on weekdays are made of mutton fat jade. Guo still felt indebted to his daughter, so Prime Minister An gave An Linglong the right to dispose of the treasury of the mansion at will, and let her buy whatever she liked.

However, in the past six months, An Linglong has not once used the money in the mansion. In this day, Prime Minister An and his wife Guo Shi, but if there is a little good thing, they will also send it to this exquisite pavilion. If he hadn't participated in the ceremony of selecting the concubines of the four princes, he was taken by Zhao Congye and appointed as his quasi-side concubine, and he came to Anfu to propose marriage, I am afraid that he would have to break the threshold of Anfu.

An Linglong slept on the velvet bed, which was soft and comfortable. Stretching out her hand to cover the bedding, the slave maid who was waiting for her to put down the pink gold silk curtain, lit the incense, and went out.

This night, An Linglong slept peacefully and did not have nightmares. Last night was the first time she stayed up late in the past six months. Still have to beware of Zhao Congye, such a cunning person, An Linglong still has some faint concerns in her heart.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon. The slave maid of the Linglong Pavilion heard the movement on the bed, and hurriedly came to serve her with hot water and tea.

After a sleep, the hand that slapped Bicui was still hurting, and he twisted his neck, a little lazy in this spring day, and the delicate pink begonia flowers just poked in from the carved pane.

"Cuitang, where did Bicui go?" An Linglong sat on the cushioned chair and looked at her cheeks in the bronze mirror, puffy, and her eyes were still a little sleepy.

Cuitang acted as if he hadn't heard it, but quickly dressed An Linglong, and picked up a carved sheep's horn comb to comb her hair.

"Didn't you hear?" An Linglong was a little impatient, and reproached again.

"No...... It's not like this, it's just that Madame has explained this matter, so it's better not to say it in Linglong Pavilion! ”

An Linglong's eyebrows twisted, and her brown eyes were stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Cuitang hurriedly knelt on the ground, but he was not sad, happy, or afraid: "Bicui just threw herself into the well in the backyard of the mansion, and she is already dead, and the corpse was sent out of the mansion just now!" ”
