asked the coachman to take the carriage to the alley outside the Sheng Guo Mansion, Sheng Mingyu gave the coachman a bunch of money, asked the coachman to take the money and drink some tea, and waited for them here, she would come out in a while.

After explaining his intention to the porter of the Shengguo Mansion and handing over the stickers, the mother-in-law who was waiting for the porter took the two of them into the Shengguo Mansion.

"The girl came too early, and my wife didn't get up yet, so the girl came. I'll take the girl around the garden! ”

The mother-in-law who led the way was Mrs. He, the steward of the front yard of the Shengguo Mansion, who had always been very powerful in front of the Duchess of Shengguo.

If there is any distinguished guest of the Sun family in the house, she usually leads the way in person and goes to the flower hall to see the Sun family.

Mrs. He had heard of Sheng Mingyu's reputation and knew that she was the orphan daughter of the Sheng family a few streets away.

The Sheng Guo Mansion and the Sheng family are a family.

The Sheng family is in the city of Tokyo, there are two heads, the long room is the Sheng family where Sheng Mingyu is now, occupying the Sheng family mansion handed down by the ancestors of the Sheng family, and the master of the long house, Sheng Lang, is the father of Sheng Mingyu and Sheng Mingjue.

However, Sheng Lang and his wife have passed away for many years, and today's Sheng family's house is supported by Sheng Mingyu and Sheng Mingjue.

Sheng Guo Mansion, that is, the second room of the Sheng family, the master of the family is Sheng Luo, before Sheng Ruhua entered the palace, Sheng Guo Mansion was only a little-known petty official's house in Tokyo.

Sheng Ruhua entered the palace and gave birth to a princess for the official family, and the official family thought about Sheng Ruhua's mother's family, and only then did he seal Sheng Luo as the Duke of Sheng Guo, and the official residence was a product.

The Shengguo Mansion relies on Sheng Ruhua's favor in the palace, and its power is greater day by day, and many people come to visit every day, in order to be able to get the light of the Shengguo Mansion.

Because the Duchess of Sheng Guo had not yet woken up, Mrs. He took Sheng Mingyu to the garden, and then went to Changle Hall, where the Sun family was, and invited the Sun family.

In the garden, the maids and servants who served in the Shengguo Mansion came and went in the garden.

However, they had never seen Sheng Mingyu, and they didn't know what Sheng Mingyu's identity was, so they guessed that Sheng Mingyu might be a distinguished guest who entered the mansion, so they respectfully saluted Sheng Mingyu before leaving one by one.

An An took Sheng Mingyu and sat on the stool and chair under the corridor, seeing that Sheng Mingyu was blown by the cold wind, shivering from the cold, and An Xin immediately covered Sheng Mingyu with the big coat he was wearing.

"Girl, why don't we come into the house and sit down? The girl is so thinly dressed, if she stands in this wind for a long time, she is afraid that she will get sick. Anxin looked at Sheng Mingyu, whose face was getting paler and paler, and couldn't help but be concerned.

The girl's body has not been very good since last year.

When it came to the cold winter wax moon, he was even shrunk in the quilt, and he couldn't even get out of the door. A few days ago, I went to Puji Temple and came back, and this body looked very good from the outside, but it was actually much worse.

At night, the girl's body is always frighteningly cold.

At this time, I saw a woman dressed brightly dressed and with a beautiful appearance, walking towards Sheng Mingyu, and after approaching Sheng Mingyu, she covered her face with a fan and began to laugh.

"Why did Sister Mingyu come over? Didn't I hear last time that Sister Yu was very sick, why did she come over today? Didn't your mother hand you the post, and you brought the post?"

The girl who spoke at this time was the third girl from the Sheng Guo Mansion, Sheng Rulan.

Although they are all from the Duchess of Sheng Guo, Sheng Rulan in front of her, whether it is appearance or talent, is not as good as Sheng Ruyu and Sheng Ruhua.

She and Sheng Rulan are not familiar with each other, but they have met a few times and have a few impressions.

Sheng Rulan's nature is not bad, she is a person who can be socialized.

"Sister Rulan, I'm here to see Madame today."

"Since Sister Mingyu is in good condition, she should have come over to see my mother earlier. Now that my mother has only been up for a short time, go ahead! ”

As Sheng Rulan spoke, she asked the little maid to pick up Sheng Mingyu, who was sitting under the porch, and ordered a little maid to lead her to meet the Duchess of Sheng Guo.

Sheng Mingyu smiled at Sheng Rulan, expressed his gratitude to her, and followed the maid who led the way, and went to Changle Hall, where the Duchess of Sheng Guo was.

"Why did the girl help her? The eldest girl told the girl early in the morning to ask the girl not to help her, and now the girl has helped her, and those people handed this matter to the eldest girl, and the eldest girl is going to annoy you. ”

The little maid stood beside Sheng Rulan, and when she saw Sheng Rulan looking at Sheng Mingyu who was leaving, she reminded her of her.

"What do I do, is it possible that you still have to take care of your little maid? I helped her if she was in trouble today, and she will help me in the future. After all, she is still surnamed Sheng, a sister. Sheng Rulan said lightly and returned to the maid.

The maid deliberately provoked the incident, lowered her voice, and said again.

"The girl is a girl from the Guogong Mansion, and if you have difficulties, you will have your own wife and master to help you. She is an orphan daughter with no father and no mother, what can she help the girl?"

Hearing her words, Sheng Rulan turned her head and glanced at the maid lightly.

The maid immediately fell to her knees in fright and slapped herself a few times.

"Girl, are they all slaves, are they all slaves, slaves and maids should not explain the bad words of the jade girl, and ask the girl to forgive her sins."

Seeing that she continued to palm her mouth, Sheng Rulan simply didn't stop, let her continue to kneel in place, and continued to palm her mouth.

Walking behind the leading maid, Sheng Mingyu thought about things in his heart again.

Now the only one who can decide the marriage of their sister and brother is this Shengguo Mansion.

She came here today to take this opportunity to explore the tone of the Duchess of Shengguo.

followed the maid who led the way all the way, and the maids and servants who served in the Shengguo Mansion were all respectful to her.

Among them, a few maids bowed to her and talked about the gossip in the house.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the Duchess of Guo took the eldest girl and the third girl in our house to meet the guests, and I heard that it was the prince of the Yuan Palace, who had only recently returned to Beijing. ”

"The prince is from the Yuan princess Li, and the Yuan princess Li is the maiden niece of the queen mother, the queen mother is poor and has no biological mother at a young age, and she loves him very much. is the county lord of Anhe, when the prince came, didn't he also pour tea in the house and serve. ”

"Does the lady intend to marry the eldest girl or the third girl to the prince of Yuanwang?" A mother-in-law who was sweeping under the porch, listening to the little maid's words, also came in.

"Don't think about it, the prince doesn't look down on any of the girls in our house. is the county lord of Anhe, such a beautiful character, the prince can't look down on it. I don't know who in this world is blessed to marry a handsome man like the prince. A young maid said, her eyes full of admiration for the prince of the world.

Seeing that her eyes were full of admiration for the prince of the Yuan king, Sheng Mingyu secretly said in her heart, the prince of the Yuan king, is it really so extraordinary?

attracted so many girls and young ladies, and the maids and servants adored him.

But that Yuan Wang Shizi, she should have seen it, that is, the man in the fancy clothes in the Dizang Pavilion that day, it is not extraordinary, but he was born better than the man next to him. That's all.

The maid took her outside the Changle Hall and went in to report to the Sun family.

After a while, the maid got Sun's orders, so she was invited in. Entering the house, Sheng Mingyu saw that there were several women sitting on the soft couch in the room, talking and laughing.

Seeing Sheng Mingyu come in, several women stopped talking and looked towards the Sun family, who was sitting on the main seat.

The Sun family was born in a big family, and when he married into the Sheng family, it was just a political marriage.

Since I came to see Sun, the rules and etiquette that should be there should be are no less.

Sheng Mingyu bowed to Sun, Sun nodded, asked the maid to bring the embroidery stool, and Sheng Mingyu sat beside her.

In order to show his closeness, Sun specially pulled Sheng Mingyu's hand, held Sheng Mingyu's hand tightly, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Mingyu, since your father and mother went, this is the first time you have come to the Guogong Mansion, and you will come often in the future! Your father and mother are gone, and those of us who are uncles and aunts should take good care of your sister and brother. It's just that you also know that I am in charge of this big mansion, and I can't get out for a while. ”

Just listen to these words. Sheng Mingyu didn't take it seriously.

If Sun and Sheng Luo really looked at the relatives, they wouldn't have been so many years, and once she came, she would have asked someone to kick her out once.

Now the reason why she can come over this time is nothing more than that Sun handed over a post and invited her to come over.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to enter this Shengguo Mansion today.

Seeing that Sheng Mingyu was silent for a long time, his face was still cold, and he didn't respond at all to his words of concern, and Sun had a little embarrassment on his face.

"You can drink tea, I'll make a pot of tea, you can taste it." Before Sheng Mingyu could say to drink, Sun had already asked the maid to go down to make tea.
