That night, Li Chun went back to Nianyun's dormitory to sleep, and he didn't mention the matter of the blue bead, so Nianyun didn't ask.

The next day, Hui Niang and Ding Xiang came to say hello again, and seeing that Mao Lanzhu had not yet come, Hui Niang said again: "It seems that this new sister is not small, and she lives so close, but it is later than the two of us." ”

I completely forgot that the two of them greeted each other for three days, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

In front of them, they have to maintain something, how to say that they are also Li Chunxinna's concubines, how can she, who is the wife of the main room, follow those two to run together, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke to spread out.

Nianyun said: "I have always been in poor health before, and the rules have never stood up, Sister Lanzhu thinks she is not very familiar with our rules, and after a few days, she will see how her sisters do it, and she will naturally know." ”

The implication is that the two of you should do enough of the rules before speaking, otherwise you will talk less cool words on the side.

Hui Niang had to shut up.

At this time, Mao Lanzhu was late, and when he saw Hui Niang and Lilac, he didn't salute, but only bowed to Nianyun, and didn't wait for the seat, and sat down on the right side of the head.

The right is respected, the left is second, in this house, in addition to Nianyun, the county lady, who sits on the head, the first place on the right should naturally be Hui Niang's, Lilac sits on the left, and Mao Lanzhu's position should be under Lilac.

She sat on Hui Niang's seat, Hui Niang couldn't just sit under her, and her face changed as soon as she brushed it.

Yuzhu hurriedly accompanied Xiao to help her: "Miss Lanzhu, your seat is over there." ”

Mao Lanzhu looked around, and saw that there were four rosewood carved Taishi chairs below, and there were also half-new dark green chairs on them, and there was no difference, so he followed Yuzhu to sit on the second chair on the left.

Nian Yun saw that she didn't seem to know anything at all, so she had to point to the two and say, "Lan Zhu, these are your two sisters, and you also have to salute when you see them." ”

Mao Lanzhu said "oh", probably knowing that they were all Li Chun's women, but she was puzzled: "Why sister?" It doesn't have to be older than me depending on my age! ”

This Mao Lanzhu skeleton is big, and it has not been carefully maintained, the skin is slightly rougher, and Hui Niang and Lilac, two thin skinned and tender flesh and petite ones, do look younger.

The maids on the side were all smiling, and Yuzhu had to patiently explain to her: "Miss Lanzhu, the rules of our Chang'an are like this, the lady of the main room is the longest, and the rest are sorted by rank and seniority, not by age." ”

Mao Lanzhu pointed at Hui Niang: "Then both of them have a higher status than me?" ”

Yuzhu said: "This is a side room, and her status is naturally higher, second only to Mrs. Jun." Although Ji Niangzi has the same position as you, she came before you and had children, so you have to call her sister. ”

Mao Lanzhu seemed to have only figured out at this time that she was the lowest status here, and reluctantly called "sister" twice, but muttered in her mouth: "When I was outside the Saiwai, the women of the Khan King, except for the Da Yan clan, were all called the Yan clan, and they were all the same, so why should I divide this dignity and inferiority!" ”

Hui Niang had to bow her head and call her sister, which was considered to be a little face, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said: "Then sister, don't be mistaken, we are the East Palace, where can those barbarians compare, my sister may have to follow the customs!" ”

said that Hu Ren was a barbarian, and even scolded Mao Lanzhu, but Mao Lanzhu was a nervous person, and he didn't seem to hear anything wrong at all.

On the contrary, she now has plenty of food and clothing, even the utensils are very exquisite, and she has such a man who is a dragon and phoenix among people, which is thousands of times better than when she was begging and wandering outside, so she is most afraid that people will tell her to go back to the outside of the plug, even if she has some grievances, she doesn't care about it.

Nianyun didn't have much to say to them, but he didn't want to waste time arguing with them, so he said a few words as usual that he hoped that the sisters would live in harmony and respect and love each other.

Mao Lanzhu didn't know much about the rules of the nobles, and even the salutes were learned temporarily, seeing that the maids in the main hall were all well-trained, and everyone was decent, she felt uncomfortable, so she quickly said goodbye and went back to her side hall.

But there was only one Hui Niang left, and she didn't say to leave, but she didn't know what to do.

Nianyun asked, "Does my sister have anything to say?" ”

Hui Niang looked around, but still didn't speak. Nianyun ordered the little maids to go down, leaving only fennel pothos beside him, and said: "These two are my marriage, my sister has something to say, but it's okay." ”

Hui Niang was entangled for a moment, and Fang said: "Madame, do you think that the palace is very noisy all day long?" ”

Nian Yun understood what she meant, and it turned out that she was here to offer advice. In this case, and listen to what she wants to say, so I follow her meaning and ask: "I don't know what my sister has to do?" ”

Hui Niang leaned close to her ear and whispered: "That dancing girl likes to light strong benzoin in the house, I heard that there is a Persian tricolor lily, when it encounters benzoin, it will release a toxin, colorless and tasteless, but it can take people's minds, make people quiet and drowsy, and finally depression becomes a disease......"

What a vicious way! Nianyun remained silent: "In this way, the three-color lilies in Persia are not ordinary, right, where do I get those flowers?" ”

Hui Niangshen said mysteriously: "Madame forgot, there are two pots in Madame's dowry, which are still on the edge of the treasury of the inner house, and the dancing girl praised a beautiful flower a few days ago!" ”

The large number of flower pots that Guo Yan gave her were indeed quite strange flowers and plants, but she didn't look too carefully at what they were.

Even I know this, it turns out that I came prepared.

Nianyun said: "But there are still a few maids in her house, what if they are all poisoned?" ”

Hui Niang said: "That flower is okay during the day, but the toxin can be released when you encounter benzoin at night, don't the maids sleep in the outer wing, Madame don't have to worry." ”

Nian Yun frowned and said, "If the king of the county goes to her house to spend the night, what is good?" ”

Hui Niang smiled: "This is another wonderful thing, Madam doesn't know, the poison has to be smelled for several days in a row to be effective, and it will be okay after three or five days, the county king can only go a few times a month!" ”

Nianyun nodded, took out a pair of hibiscus jade bracelets from her wrist and gave them to Hui Niang: "I know, sister go back and rest." ”

Give her a little favor, just to stabilize her, don't refuse so straightforwardly, and let people immediately come up with other ideas.

Speaking of which, why does she have to spend such a vicious mind to deal with a little dancing girl! Besides, the person lives in her Yiqiu Palace, if something really happens, even if she can't find any evidence, she can't escape it.

At that time, if she is unlucky, it is not easy to bite and say that Hui Niang instigated, and it is naturally Hui Niang who will benefit at that time, how can she be stupid enough to lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot!

However, with her understanding of Li Chun, he really may not like a woman like Mao Lanzhu, and besides, he really hasn't spoiled her much in the past two days, and he hasn't even seen the freshness of three or five days.

So what was the matter with this woman, and how did she come to him?

Nianyun called the green pothos over and quietly ordered: "You go and check the details of that Mao Lanzhu, no matter what you find, report it to me carefully." ”

Only two days later, Pothos looked for an opportunity to reply to her.

It turned out that the biological mother of Mao Lanzhu was surnamed Wang, and the man died after only three or five years of marriage, young and widowed, and couldn't bear the loneliness, so he hooked up with a Hu merchant who often came to sell goods, and he didn't want to secretly marry a bead.

Ten months later, the child was born, with obvious Hu characteristics, and the Wang family did not dare to reveal it to his parents and uncles, so he had to close the door all day and secretly raise the child.

The Hu trafficker was doing business outside all day long, and he was not allowed to come to see her often, and the Wang family was restless all day long, and over time, depression became an illness, and he soon died.

A four or five-year-old child was Mao Lanzhu, of course, her name was Mao Yunzhu at that time. Later, her Hu merchant father took it with him, and he probably went back to Saiwai.

For about ten years, it was basically impossible to investigate, until three years ago the girl appeared alone in Chang'an City, mingling with a group of beggars and living in a dilapidated thatched hut in the west of the city.

Later, the child was favored by a troupe, so he stayed in the troupe to practice juggling. Later, he went to the Wang family to look for relatives, but was beaten out by the Wang family.

Later, a dancer in the song and dance workshop in the East Palace injured her foot, so she wanted to buy another one from outside, so she was bought in, and the head of the class changed her name.

The selection of dancing girls in the East Palace is not so random, all of them have been practicing hard since they could walk, and she is a halfway monk orchid, even if she has some talent, she can't get in so easily.

Nian Yun heard that her biological mother's surname was Wang, so she couldn't help frowning: "Which Wang is the surname, Mr. Wang's king?" ”

The green pothos bowed his head and said: "It's Wang Liangdi's king." ”

I see, no wonder she calculated the time to dance in the open space of the inner mansion without anyone stopping her, smoothly, so that many things can be explained clearly.

Lu Luo said again: "It is said that her mother is a cousin of Liangdi's mother's family, and she has had some friendship since she was a child. ”

It was probably because she went to Wang's house to find relatives and couldn't do it, but her mother's cousin knew about it, so she took special care of it.

She's a little concubine, from a lowly background, and she hasn't been favored much, so it should be said that even Hui Niang is not a great threat. So Hui Niang instigated her to make a move like this, presumably her purpose itself was not her, right?

Since she is Wang Liangdi's person, as long as something happens to her in Yiqiu Palace, whether she did it or not, she can't get out of it, and it is inevitable that there will be a bond between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Nianyun immediately instructed Chonglou: "Arrange for two or three proper grandmothers to serve in the palace, carefully check the things in the house, if there is something new to send, whether it is from the inner mansion herself or someone else, it will be carefully checked, and then registered, there can be no omission." ”

Since man now lives with her, there must be no mistake.
