After Niu Haoran almost set Yin Ershao's words, he continued to let the two stay in the inner room and wait, and repeatedly told Yin Ershao to take care of Hou San'er, who had been tied up, and then came to the back kitchen to find Liu Jiaojiao to restore his life.

These things are naturally not good to say in front of so many people in the back kitchen, so Liu Jiaojiao asked Liu Ling to help keep an eye on the back kitchen temporarily, and she took Niu Haoran to the most secret dark room in the store.

After opening the mechanism and entering the dark room and closing the mechanism again, Niu Haoran waited for Liu Jiaojiao to sit down before saying: "Owner, I have asked everything I should ask, there is no one behind this Yin Ershao coming here today, but because the restaurant business under his name has been impacted, so he wants to poach our chef, so that Qingxinfang can't open and have fewer competitors." ”

Liu Jiaojiao nodded clearly, then looked at him with a hint of banter, and asked, "With your cautious character, you must have taken a lot of things out of his mouth, right?" ”

Niu Haoran said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from the owner, the general situation of the General's Mansion, and some of the circumstances of the noble concubine in the palace, I have asked clearly, we want to gain a foothold in the capital, and it is always good to know more." ”

"You can just remember these things, don't tell me, I'm too lazy to remember." As she spoke, Liu Jiaojiao deliberately raised her eyes and glanced at him, her eyes narrowed slightly, "By the way, why don't you ask me what I did to him?" ”

"It's a good thing that the proprietor's means are all over the world, I just need to do my duty, why do I know so much?" Niu Haoran said indifferently.

If ordinary people saw her methods, they would definitely be frightened, and the first thought in their minds was probably that they thought she knew the demon law, but Niu Haoran had followed her for so long, and he had already sworn to be loyal in this life, so he didn't have the slightest doubt or curiosity, and accepted everything easily.

This is what Liu Jiaojiao admires most about Niu Haoran, but sometimes it is inevitable that this person is a little boring, because it is difficult for people who are too receptive to appreciate the moment when he changes his face.

Shrugging her shoulders a little helplessly, Liu Jiaojiao continued: "In the future, Yin Ershao's line will be followed by you, if there is nothing major, I don't want to see him." ”

is also a gentleman, Zeng Jian and her fourth brother Xie Pingyu look much more pleasing to the eye, well, in fact, it is because Yin Ershao's appearance can only be regarded as ordinary and really can't get into Liu Jiaojiao's eyes, who made the girl an out-and-out face control?

However, Yin Ershao's appearance is so ordinary, according to the perspective of genetics, his own sister concubine should not be able to see where to go, how can she become the emperor's favorite concubine?

Maybe she was thinking too much, and she unconsciously said what she thought in her heart.

Hearing her muttering, Niu Haoran, who had already become a know-it-all in the General's Mansion, immediately relieved her doubts and said: "The general has a total of two sons-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and the concubine is the noble concubine. ”

Liu Jiaojiao reacted to what she said unconsciously, and asked with interest: "Since you can become a favorite concubine, your appearance must be outstanding, so the general's wife is a great beauty?" ”

"It is said that the general's wife was also a beautiful crown when she was young, if she wasn't a little older, she wouldn't have been a shuangshu in the capital back then, but she should have been a shuangmei in the capital."

"Beijing Shuangshu?"

"It's your mother and the wife of King Wujun, the princess of the county."

King Wujun? Why does it sound so familiar?

Liu Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, and finally remembered who it was, wasn't that the one who had a marriage contract with her? Tsk, I didn't expect that princess of the county to be a flower back then!

But it's also strange to say, her existence is estimated to be known to the entire capital now, why is there no movement in the Wujun Palace? Isn't it that they also think that this marriage is inappropriate and have the idea of regretting the marriage?

It would be great if that was the case, she didn't want to be someone's fiancée, and her little brother would definitely be unhappy if he knew.

Thinking of Liu Jun who lost the news, Liu Jiaojiao's mood suddenly fell, and she suddenly wanted to be alone, so she waved Niu Haoran to leave, and she sat in the dark room in a daze.

Didn't you say that she would be waiting in the capital? I've been in the capital for several months, and Qingxinfang has been open for a few days, so why is there still no news at all?

Little brother, where the hell are you now? Is everything alright? You can't forget about her, right?

Early in the morning two days later, Liu Jiaojiao was about to go out to Qingxinfang, but Cui suddenly came to her yard, grabbed her, and handed her a beautiful post.

"Jiaojiao, the princess of the county personally made a post and invited you to attend the poetry meeting held by the county princess's mansion tomorrow." Cui's tone was a little nervous and cautious, as if he was afraid that Liu Jiaojiao would be angry.

Liu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, took the post and opened it to look at it, and then asked, "Auntie, why do I feel like this is a Hongmen banquet?" ”

It has been several months since she appeared, and there has been no movement in the Wujun Palace, but at this time, she suddenly pointed out what kind of poetry meeting she wanted her to participate in, no matter how you look at it, it seems to have bad intentions.

Cui Shi sighed, pulled her to the side and sat down, and then said: "The capital will hold a poetry meeting every year, invite the daughters of various prefectures to participate, and then invite a few celebrities to comment and select the leader. In order to avoid trouble, the annual poetry meeting is hosted by a different government, and this year it happened to fall on the Wujun Palace. ”

Liu Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed slightly, why does it sound so much like a modern draft? It's just that he is not selected to enter the entertainment industry, but to improve his worth and reputation, so that he can marry better in the future.

When she said the latter sentence, Cui Shi immediately nodded and said, "I know that Jiaojiao is so smart, you must be able to guess the key to this." Isn't that what it is? I think your mother won the top spot for three years in a row! ”

Liu Jiao's eyes widened, hey, is her mother so powerful? However, it is estimated that it is because he is too focused on things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't know anything about it, so he is so simple, which leads to Xu Tianci's calculation easily.

"So, that princess wants to see how much of my mother's skills I inherited? Hehe, then she is probably going to be disappointed, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Liu Jiaojiao laughed at herself.

Cui Shi shook his head, his expression became a little solemn, and he said with worry: "There is something I should let you know, that princess of the county was called the Shuangshu of the capital with your mother back then, but your mother was too good, causing her to be jealous all the time. Later, although she married King Wujun, King Wujun was fond of Linlang at first, and specially asked for a marriage and asked her baby son to marry you, so ......"

Liu Jiaojiao instantly understood, and continued: "So the new hatred and old hatred are added together, she not only hates my mother, but also hates me by the way, the reason why I went to the poetry meeting is to make me ugly, auntie, is that what you mean?" ”

Cui Shi nodded, frowned, and said: "Although I am not familiar with her, I also know that she is not a generous person, I suggest that you don't go, just call it sick, if she sends someone to inquire, I have my own way to send it." ”

Liu Jiaojiao smiled, shook her head and said: "Auntie, I know that you are for my good, but this kind of thing is really not in line with my character, it's okay, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so she won't want my life, right?" Besides, will I be as she wishes? ”

Isn't it just a poetry club? Can she still be stumped after 16 years of modern education? She really can't do anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she can talk about poetry...... Hehe, this era is empty, those Tang poems and Song poems and Yuan songs that were forced to be recited by the teacher back then, she can come up with too many poems to pretend to be forced!

Where did Cui Shi know this, he was still worried, and persuaded him a few times, but seeing that she was resolute, he had to leave first and turn his head to find her father-in-law.

The Xie family is famous for their literary talents, she doesn't believe that there are so many men in the family, and she can't toss out a few poems suitable for Liu Jiaojiao to use at the poetry meeting!

As for whether this is considered cheating, Cui Shi said that it doesn't matter, anyway, she is bound to go together tomorrow, and when the time comes, it will be written by Liu Jiaojiao, who dares to question the head of the Xie family?

So, on this day, all the men in the Xie family at home were mobilized, racking their brains to make people's eyes shine when they heard it, but not too esoteric to make people feel that this person has learned rich and five-car poems.

This requirement is very simple for the boudoir women who have read some books, but for the Xie family, a group of scholars who have received elite education since childhood and are knowledgeable (except for Xie Pingyu, who doesn't like to read), it is simply asking for their lives.

But looking at the serious appearance of Cui and Wang, they can only keep writing, and then they are constantly overthrown, and then they keep writing, and then they keep writing, over and over again.

The men of Xie Mansion complained about the Wujun Mansion almost at the same time, and they rushed to this one today, and if they were killed, they would not let Liu Jiaojiao marry into the County Palace, no way! Not even a crack in the window!
